What a cool paintjob. Looks absolutely dope. Some would undoubtedly say that the look is too clean for ZM. However, I am of the opinion that having a mix of well maintained (relatively) and dilapidated sections is much more visually striking. I am totally stealing this.
Thanks very much, always great to read comments like this! It is the plan to have more weathered sections - this would be the more upmarket area! Steal away!
Looks like a lot of fun.
It was. I really enjoyed painting my Necromunda terrain. Cheers!
Anyone ever run these through an airbrush?
They work fine with a few drops of flow improver and a few drops of water.
No paint no game ! ^^
Really great color scheme. I may try this one out.
Thanks! Maybe try to start a shade darker for the white though. Painting a full army of these guys has been a pain!
More people need to see these.
Thanks, that’s very kind of you!
Adorei! Obrigado pela inspiração
Obrigado pelas amáveis palavras!
I recently got into Warhammer, been just about a couple of months now. I've always known about it via osmosis in pop-culture and gaming but I never had any idea about what it's about. Needless to say, I fell in love. I'm a storyteller at heart and I've fallen in love with the lore, setting, and story/ies of 40K. But this also breaks my heart. I love the Grimdark genre (Berserk, GoT, TG, etc) but Games Workshop makes it impossible for me to satisfy my desire to dive deeper into this. I'm not into the table top aspect and outside of that and the books, there's scarce consumer material. Barely any films/animation that I would GLADLY pay for. Only a handful of genuine good games to play. My only genuine outlet right now are the books. I hope this Henry Cavill can catapult things a bit more so GW recognizes the visual/media value of this property. So many things in this verse need to be SEEN. There are so many descriptors of EPIC visuals that would lend amazingly to cinema!
I'm the same, it has always been a dream of mine to see (good) Space Marines on the big screen. 35 years on and I still haven't really had that. I do think it's slowly getting there, more people than ever know a bit about the 40K universe, so i'm hopeful that the Amazon series will push it over the top. I had hopes for WH+, but who knows what is happening there? Big promises have been made and all have been broken (an animated episode every other week) and I guess the Amazon stuff has put a halt to a lot of stuff that was meant to come. I'm pretty stupid though, i'll always hold out hope that i'll finally get what I want! Thanks for taking the time to write a great comment. Welcome to the hobby! Cheers.
My next project
Good luck! They look great when they’re done, no matter how you choose to paint them.
Not everything is about the the 87 cartoon 😒
Nope, but it was my childhood favourite. I like most of the iterations, on whatever media.
I’ve been painting for a cool couple of months and I like it but I hate making mistakes. I bought some oil paints to try blending better but I’ve been too scared to try them so far. 😂. Thank you for the awesome video!
I'm glad you're enjoying it! My best advice would be to give it a go and make some mistakes, nothing is permanent and can always (almost always!) be rescued. Thanks for the kind words!
Amazing walkthrough! Really happy with my results!
That's great to hear, i'm really glad it may have helped. Thanks for taking the time to watch!
Looks great!
Thanks very much!
Which did you choose? Hope tou are doing well dude.
Hello! I’m still alive, just got a lot on and wanted a break. I have nearly finished my Votann and somehow painted up a 1500pt Hive Fleet Kraken tyranid army for my son. Turns out, I lose a lot at 40K. How are you?
Will you make a Warhammer + review after the long time?
Would have gone with Angels of Vengeance, personally. 2nd Founding Dark Angels successor that’s got more in common with their old legion than anything else. Though, I’ve got my Abyss Watchers. These will fare nicely as honor guards for a company master, no matter.
I like that scheme, the bone breaks up the black very nicely. are your Abyss Watchers your own chapter?
Looks good.
Thanks!
Just got this as a gift for my 8 year old - looking forward to playing on Xmas day! Thanks for your review.
Nice one, enjoy! Bear in mind I got a rule wrong - you can’t shoot Frodo from distance. My mistake.
Where's deathwing does that work
I’m afraid I didn’t have that one. I’ll maybe get it for a future video.
This is a fantastic video. I've just gotten back into 40k after taking a long break after battle fleet gothic first came out because of life then did scale modeling for a while and seeing how much has changed especially techniques I feel a little lost and like I'm learning all over again and videos like this that are simple and descriptive are so useful. Thanks and blood for the blood god
Thanks very much, I’m really glad you liked it! Welcome back to the hobby. A lot has changed, but it’s still just the basics: take your time and be neat and tidy and anything will look great. Good luck on your journey!
So easy
👍
Awrite simon good video bro
Thanks Andy!
I’ve got the main box of dungeon bowl. I don’t like the team lineups so I plan just to play multi team games with 2/4 7s team lineups with maybe a couple extras for fun.
It's a good idea and will work fine. I didn't like that GW never boxed up proper Dungeon Bowl teams, so you have to buy 2 or 3 team boxes to make one. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
What about Total War: Warhammer 1?
Hello, I had said in the video that TWW1 wouldn't load at all, but that was 10 months ago, so i'll retry and let you know.
@@TheHalfDoneHobbyist thanks alot!
It’s a strange one, it says it is playable with some issues, but it just won’t launch at all for me still!
@@TheHalfDoneHobbyist thanks for the update!
You forgot warhammer 40k inquisitor martyr!!! Fantastic on steam deck
Thanks, I’ll take a look!
@@TheHalfDoneHobbyist Diablo style arpg but warhammer. Such a great game
Very cool, how'd you do the beard?
Thanks! I just mixed some grey into the skin colour and applied it in a thin layer. Probably my favourite part of the paintjob.
I spent waaaay to much time on micro details on the first brick and realized it looked worse than when i got lazy and just did heavy washes on thr other tiles. But your hazards are sooo good!
I did wonder that myself! As a full board I do love the look of mine, but I’m pushing it when I said ‘Easiest’! Thanks for the compliment on the stripes, sometimes things just work! I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Cheers.
Amazing tutorial love it. Just ordered two boxes and I’ll be following your instructions. Thank you 🙏
Thanks very much for the kind words! Good luck with your guys, they’re a lot of fun to paint.
would be ok if I use vallejo grey primer?
If it’s light enough, yes. Sorry, I don’t know the Vallejo primers. White or bone works the best as the Contrast paints show up really well on them. If the grey is too dark they’ll just look a bit muddy.
Good video thanks
No problem, thanks for watching!
I think you youll just have to put tokens under the chests...
Much better idea.
Best Mephiston guide on TH-cam 👍 Some great tips to make certain area's stand out and I love how you show the need to paint up all the various parts independent from the main body. Nice little details about the characters story too. My favourite bit of his lore is that all who knew him previously have said this is not the same being that they all knew. 🙂
Wow, thanks very much! I really appreciate it.
I've not seen the multi coloured miniatures before really. Can you still paint them? They look a bit shiny.
Yeah, they paint up absolutely fine as long as you hit it with an undercoat first. I’ve had no problems.
BB2 has full controller support. No need to map mouse/kb.
Cheers, didn’t work too well previously, I’m glad it’s fine now.
Thankyou for this video really helped me out
No problem at all, I’m very glad it was useful!
Did you ever find a Replacement for Bellus3d?
I did not, unfortunately. Nothing as accurate anyway. There are loads that can create a mesh but they all need cleaned up in other software. And now Bellus is dead completely.
@@TheHalfDoneHobbyist yaa I found a apk but have not downloaded due to questionable source. Didn't know if the app will run anyway
It’s a shame, it was so easy to do and no-one else has managed it. The search continues! Please let me know if you have any luck.
07 will do!@@TheHalfDoneHobbyist
Bit late to this, but great video, so approachable!
Thank you, that’s great to hear! I’m really glad you enjoyed it.
So the crappiest games are those that works fine. Great
You could see it that way, but Space Marine works the best and it's great. But yes, a lot of crappy games work.
Parabéns pelo trabalho!
Obrigado!
Holy crap! That looks amazing. Great work!
Thanks! They're great models for a quick paintjob. I try not to spend more than 30 minutes on each one.
Thanks for a great video. Finally get around to painting my norse team
Thanks! They’re great models, have fun!
THIN YOUR PAINTS
I…do? It’s meant to be quick, so this method works fine for me. 👍
Looks super awesome!!
Thanks! They look pretty good on the tabletop.
This is just perfect😮😮😮😮
Thanks very much! I was trying to get a good mix of decent looking and quick.
This is great! 😃
Thanks, very kind of you! I'm very happy you liked it.
Custodes all the way
Thanks, is that your army?
@The Half-Done Hobbyist Oh yes! Sorry, I should've offered more explanation to help you decide lol I'm old. I'm tired. I can't paint horde armies like I used to - and I certainly can't afford them anymore either. So it's half the models to buy. Half the models to paint. Half the models to lug around. Etc. And their lore is cool af as well lol You feel super heroic when each hero does epic stuff too. Hope this helps
That sounds pretty cool. Fewer models to paint is definitely a big draw. I’m banned from playing Custodes in Kill Team, due to it being really difficult to balance such an elite force, I wonder if it’d end up being the same in 40K? It does indeed help, thanks very much!
@The Half-Done Hobbyist Hope you don't mind me asking? Is that ban self-imposed (because you can't get cheap enough models to fit)? Or is it other players banning you because your 2 or 3 models wipe out their 6~12? Sorry if it seems like a silly question but I've never played KT, though I am interested, seeing as I'm collecting Custodes.
Hey that really meant a lot to have a mention for the Eldar. It feels so great to have that childhood army and can't wait to paint any of the units again when the are released in plastic 😂 I initially thought Custodes and then saw Howling Griffons. If you have the method fir quickly painting them the that would be cool as, but you will have to use banners. I saw another comment suggesting Tyranids and I think that's a good idea. I'm going to find a quick scheme myself and have it as a growing third force or at least a combat patrol. Now having said that I love your Leagues of Votann and there's also something to build a force from there relaunch. No idea how thry play 😂 Space Marines & Leagues of Votann followed by quick scheme for Tyranids.
Your Eldar have been a big inspiration to me to get my army done. Great looking force and I can’t wait to see what you do next. Banners would be a must for Howling Griffons, definitely! Thanks for the input, I might try to break the back of the Nids over a day or two. I’ll add you as one vote each for SM and Votann. Cheers!
@@TheHalfDoneHobbyist I feel like there has been a real shift to getting armies painted and also the paints seem to be right with contrast and two thin coats. I still can't believe how good you get that white!
I think that building a Combat Patrol of an army you like and playing it a couple of times to try its gameplay is a good start. If you don't like it you can go to another one without too much investment
That’s a good idea. I’m still thinking in terms of the old edition, need to get with the times!
Orks!!! It’s super orky to send your mek boy to weld on some freshly looted scrap to broken models. Hobby-wise, probably the most fun faction if you enjoy kitbashing. And they are diverse in playstyle on the table. People generally love playing against orks- it seems they are fun for all on the table.
Thanks, that’s great advice! I think I’d do well with all of the broken models I have. I do quite fancy some kitbashing, I think that’d be fun. Cheers!
I am pretty new at the hobby, I was really into the books, lore, and podcast kinda side of 40k for the longest time. Decided to get ork boarding patrol recently because i love those green gits the most and they seemed fun to paint. I was having a hard time between Orks and Votaan. I went orks, you go Votaan?
That’s brilliant that you took the plunge! Orks are definitely fun to do due to the variety in units. Maybe I will do Votann, they seem to be high on everyone’s list for me. Cheers!
@@TheHalfDoneHobbyist I think people are really excited about squats 2.0 but they are on the fence cause it isn't like a full army yet. Gives you some time to get the lads ready while you wait for the others.
I’ll certainly keep them going. Thanks!
Anything but DG
🤣 deal!
