Simple & easy to follow
Thank you for the comment :D
These tutorials are so good and really help out in the non-airbrush space. Plus just enough detail such as decals, edge highlighting and weathering to keep something to strive for without overwhelming with golden demon standard.
Personally, I’d love to see your flavour in going a bit further with weathering
Thank you. I always feel miniature painting kind of has skill layers. which helps because you can build on what you've done already without having to completely change your approach.
I have a weathering tutorial on my wish list, it will probably be along a tutorial painting the Dorn tank.
I love watching you paint the characters
thank you :D I want to paint more characters in the future.
As always, your one of the best WH40K painting tutor out there. Keep up the great works man.
thank you, that means a lot. I ain't stopping anytime soon
Thank you for this amazing tutorial. As an beginning/intermediate painter who is getting ready to dive into the Leviathan box, this was exactly the video I needed.
Thank you, I'm happy you think so. I've really been enjoying painting the leviathan box and I hope you enjoy it as well :D good luck
Excellent ! I especially love the idea of playing with different metallic on the legs, that looks way more interesting !
to be honest, its easy to get lazy and just use 1 tone all over, but when your looking at your miniature from different angles, those different silvers are realy noticable which makes an impact. really worth doing
glad to see it now, just after I assembled and base coatet my dreadnought. Thank you
thats good timing
Top notch as always - you're really helping me power through the leviathan box
Thank you. I'm glad I've been helping you :D
Excellent work, love how you set the video sections out - really clear
Thank you. I'm glad you think so ^_^
Haven't been able to find a tutorial that I like for the dreadnought. Was really glad to see that you'd uploaded one as you're fast becoming my 'go to' channel. Incredible work as always!
Thank you :)
This was a fantastic tutorial! I have 3 redemptors to paint amd have been umming and ahhing for awhile on how i want to do it. This gives me a great scheme to follow. Subbed
Welcome to the channel 😁 good look with the redemptors
Im still working through the command edition starter set using your tutorials. Looking forward to working through this one when i get to it. Keep up the good work!
Thank you :D
Super useful video. love the pace, editing and clear instructions
Thank you, believe it or not. Its taken me some time to get the pace down. It's means a lot for you to mention it :P
The most complete tuto !
Glad you think so 😄
He looks amazing
Thank you, I was very happy with it
Thank you, Michael, soon as I saw your channel pop up in suggestion search I knew I'd find what I was looking for, the dark blackish bits color on the pelvis the under-carriage parts. Everyone wants to lead belcher under bits, but the box art is how you have it here. Thanks!
welcome to the channel. I'm glad you like the content :) I work very hard to match the box art so people can replicate it as well
Looks amazing definitely painting my collection using your guides, one of my favourite CZcamsrs👍
Thank you. that means a lot. I'm happy you enjoy my content. Good luck and I hope you enjoy painting your miniatures :)
Really nicely structured video. I know its time consuming and a lot of work that goes into videos like this. Great tutorial! Really good job!
Thank you very much. a lot of work does go into each tutorial, but its worth it as I know it goes a long way to helpng people with their own hobby :D
Beat one so far keep up the good work man
thank you :)
Looks great. Thanks
no, thank you :D
You do great work!
Thank you. I really apreciate the comment :)
Thank you so much for these tutorials mate, very helpful indeed!
I'm glad :D
Looks really great 😊
Thank you :D
I've been looking forward to this ❤
I'm glad
Love the thing you're doing, making complex sounding techniques approachable. A lot of these more advanced methods aren't hard, you just need to go for it and see where it takes you.
Fun thing: everything here can be used on any model, regardless of scale. Glazing for example is used a lot by GW's 'Eavy Metal team to make their space marines appear more dynamic. They call it a soft shade more often than not. Now I wouldn't go and do it on every single Intercessor, but it's a great way to take a character that extra mile.
thank you. I always apreciate your support and comments. always full of positive vibes and advice :D
Great video!
:D thank you
I am very tempted to buy a Dreadnought never made one before great timing on the tutorials.
The dreadnoughts are a great larger miniature to paint if you wanted to get use to it. they are just big space marines after all
@@TableTopReadyCZcams I will just use my airbrush and paint the Dreadnought in sections to make it easy.
Great video Michael! Brings back a lot of nostalgic memories from when I painted Warhammer as a kid. I hope to see you paint ghazghkull soon. I’m a fan of all your ork videos and I feel you’ve improved so much lately I really hope you revisit them.
thank you, that means a lot. I did start a ghazghkull a while a go but it was so much work to do as a tutorial. Perhaps I could actually do it now. something to ponder :D
Super nice thanks !
thank you. I apreciate the comment
This will help me when I finally assemble my ballistus. I actually have four other dreads all waiting for something more than primer. I just hate painting when it’s so hot in my shop.
same, hot weather isn't good for miniature painting. I tend to just build stuff :P
Great video
Thank you
1:48 Just as Guiliman intended!😂
Like and comment before I even watched it for the algorithm. Gonna be dope anyway
haha hopefully its lived up to your expectations. THANK YOU
@@TableTopReadyCZcams was amazing ngl. Actually made me want to buy a dreadnought real bad.
I want to paint more dreadnoughts :P
This was actually the video that made me commit into my first try in warhammer.
@@DerSchoeneJan666 a journey you won't regret. Maybe your wallet but... that's another story
You should do a full army review of all your painted marines, also i would love to see some blood angels🩸😇 easy tutorial to follow, very well edited👌
When I have enough marines to show off, I will :P
I actually do plan on revisting Blodd Angels, Dark Angels and Space Wolves. I'm likely to do these for their codex releases if and when that happens.
I will proabbly do Dark Angels first along side the Lion and then Blood Angels :) but this could be early next year. Lots already planned
Awesome content, you got a new subscriber
ooo welcome to the channel. I'm glad you want to join me on this journey :D
Your tutorials are what got me started with painting models. Great job, keep it up! What paints would you use for the darker glazes for Salamanders (warpstone glow base coat)?
thats awesome. I'm glad I got you started in this amazing hobby. for a salamanders Glaze. I would do Caliban Green and then Nocturn Green
@@TableTopReadyCZcams Thanks! Gonna pick them up and paint my ballistus and brutalis 😎
hey! a tutorial on how to properly use washes and shades would be great!! thanks for all the great content. hope you are having a blast!!
Thank you, I'm always having a blast, I hope you are as well :D what would you specifically like to know about washes? they're not very exciting to be honest :P if anything I would include them in a Glazing tutorial
@@TableTopReadyCZcams a glazing tutorial would be great!! :) I just always see everyone throw washes on and they seem to just..idk work lol. but, my minis always come out...sloppy i guess. I have thought about trying dip.
When it comes to washes, we still need to have some control over them. We don't want to saturate the miniature, only use enough to cover where you need the wash. Whilst it's dryng, you need to keep checking and removing excess paint where its pooling up too much. I don't recomend dipping, thats for people who just want to get stuff painting fast and on the table. If you want tp improve, we always want to approach painting intentially with effort. I tend to only use washes for metalics mostly and my prefered way to create defintion is recess shading which is using a shade or painting a darker colour directly into thos recesses and areas. It's a lot neater and less work in the long run
Good
Thanks 🙏🏻
Great video, question, what would be the equivalents in the armor for blood angels?
I have a blood angels tutorial on the channel. go check it out :D
Would love to see an Imperial fist version of this.
If you want to paint an imperial fist dreadnought, then all you need to do is combine this tutorial and the imperial fist tutorial :D
This is coooool! 🤩🥳 No doubt using this on my dreadnought!
do it, its worth it.
omfg thank you, at first when I see you are not using a wet pallet I thought this video must be an amateur, I am so incredibly wrong lol, this is gonna be the one video that I will keeps going back to get reference for, by any chance you will be covering AOS model in the future ?
I have plans to cover AOS, I want to focus on 40k for a bit longer for the new edition, but I'll certainly be doing the same for AOS next year most likely
top notch ! great work , as always
Thannk you so much :D
I really apreciate what you teach on your teach, to the begginers and step by step i was wondering If you have thought about creating a series about xenos races such as the Drukhari or their Aeldari cousins. Deserved subscription and thanks for everything!
Thank you very much :D I'm glad you like my content. I have plans to do all the factions eventually. its just a matter of getting the time. I'll genestealer cult in a couple of months and I recon I'll have a craftworlds tutorial out bythe end of the year. I would expect Drukhari early next year. I just have to prioriise content for new edition first :)
@@TableTopReadyCZcams I look foward to watching your nex serie 🥳🥳
I really like your videos. Great pace. Very good explaining each step and why it's done. Your results are outstanding but seem achievable with enough patience. Love your enthusiasm for the hobby as well.
Question for you - do you ever use contrast paints (e.g. ultramarine) over the basecoat in lieu of these washes? I've seen some YTers warning against contrast paints on these bigger models but I'm not sure why. Too blotchy?
One constructive critism is to reduce the number of paints you use. You have 32 paints listed. I can't believe you couldn't have the same result using half as many paints. That's like $150 in paints for a ~ $60 model ($35 if you got it with Leviathan). Sure you have the paint in your arsenal after that, but holy schmoley.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy the content and I do love the hobby and making these videos :)
I love contrast paints and I use them all the time for my own miniatures outside of the tutorials. You can use contrast paints in place of washes, what makes them different from a shade is that they have very strong pigments which means they're not very subtle and will absolutely over power what you use them over. Contrast paints also dry much faster than a shade as well which makes them trickier to work with, especially on those larger models
The goal of my tutorials is to show people what's possible and I always aim to replicate box standards. Of Course you can paint miniatures with fewer paints and that's completely up to the individual and you can mix the paints. For me mixing paints is inconsistent and it's a lot more straightforward to teach someone how to paint with a colour that exists. If I use less paints I compromise the quality. Also the focus for my videos is more about the techniques and skills needed, not the paints.
What colour would you use for a glaze with kantor blue as the base colour?
a kantor base is just a shift into darker tones, so I would do Nightlords first and then abaddon black. if you didn't want to go so dark, you could do a mix of nightlords and abaddon black
thank you. would be gd also if you teach us how to paint base
I paint a base in the Captain tutorial, it's pretty simililer to that. I also have a couple of shorts on bases
The highlighting is stunning, what would you recommend for black? Painting my marines as raven guard
luckily for you I have a raven guard tutorial already on the channel :D go check it out
@TableTopReadyCZcams yep I found it last night haha
what color should i use for glaze green for my salamanders?moot green-warpstone glow-caliban green can do the work?
When glazing the armour you don’t want to go lighter than the base colour. For salamanders I would do caliban Green. Vulkan Green then black if you want to go darker
Amazing! Just toying over buying a dreadnought next or the intercessors. Bearing in mind I've only just painted my first 5 Ultramarines in about 10 years. What do you reckon?
I recon your more excited about getting a dreadnought :P so the answer is obviouse. always paint what your most excited about. a dreadnought is just a big marine after all
I’m new to painting minis, what’s the difference between the way he applied a recess shade on the base structure vs how he applied the nuln oil wash on the metal parts?
a recess shade s applied directly into the recesses and a shade is applked over the entire area. I do talk about it in the tutorial. a recess shade is better if you don't want to effect the colour your creating definition. you can use a wash over the arour as well, but you'll have to re paint the base colour
Did you use any primer or just undercoat it with Macragge Blue
The undercoat sprays act as the primer. they do the same thing so a primer isn't needed :)
These things are awesome! Do the guys with the purple robes drive these?
Dreadnoughts for the most part are piloted by a space marine who has been mortally wounded and is I longer able to fight. Through a dreadnought they are able to continue to serve their chapter. Think of them as giant robo cops
I used the Macragge Blue Spray and the color didn't cover well. The primer was very rough and did not adhere well. Do I have to prime with Chaos Black beforehand and then use Macragge Blue Spray? Or can Macragge Blue Spray also be used as a direct primer?
Thanks for helping
I recommend watching my undercoating tutorial. There’s lots of reasons this could be happening. You don’t need anything underneath. The macragge spray is enough 🖖🏻
Nice tutorial. Could you do a Tau tutorial for the breach team or the devilfish?
I paln on doing Tau infantry hopefully by the end of the year
Thanks Michael, hope you can do the Farsight set
i want to do farsight. i would have done by now but he wasn't available for a while. hpefully by the end of the year maybe :)
Will there be a tutorial on how to paint armor?
are you reffering to something more like imperial guard tanks? If your looking to paint armour for Space marine tanks, I would just aproach it the same way as this dreadnought armour.
If you are meaning tanks for imperial guard, then I do have plans for a future tutorial on the Dorn tank
Hey, can you make a short video we’re you show exactly how you achieve these flat panels without any brushmarks? Been struggling with this any hope to improve with some more information.
Or do you have brushmarks as well and it’s just hard to see through the camera?
Greetings from Germany
Everything I do I say in the video. Multiple thin layers 😊 it’s never going to be perfect. You may actually find your not doing enough layers as the transparency can look like brush marks. I tend to do about 4 layers.
Okay. I looked at it after the second coat and compared it to an airbrushed finished model since the video makes it look like the finish on yours look compareable to an airbrush finish and mine differs from this. I’ll try putting on a third coat. Thanks for answering!
How did you safely mount the parts on the wooden blocks?
I have a video coming in a couple of weeks talking about hwo I do it
@@TableTopReadyCZcams looking forward to it!
I know this could be a weird request but could you do a tutorial on custodies I don't know if you've seen but major kill released a emperor model and I wanna make sure it doesn't look bad lol I wouldn't know where to begin painting gold
your in luck, I already have a tutorial on custodes :D infact I have 3. go check em out
sorry i didn't check before hand thank you !@@TableTopReadyCZcams
no problem :) I hope it helps
Great work as always dude, but my god you need to BLINK! 😂
I never learnt how to :(
I have never heard of a Ballistus dread. Is this the dread from like 20 years ago?
No, this dreadnought is a recent addition and came out out with the Leviathan boxset
@@TableTopReadyCZcams Well I am glad it is more than 3.5" tall.
Looking absolutely amazing! ❤ With a model looking like that takes “weeks to do”🤯with all those highlights how long in hours did you take realistically? Because all CZcams videos are made with edits we get the illusion of getting things looking like that in short time.😅
Thank you. So when I'm painting a miniature for a tutorial, I tend to paint for about 8 hours a day :P and this probably took about 6 days. Half of that time is just highlighting the blue Armour ha so it does take time.
mmmm ballistus
haha tasty
