For those stuck on ideas for how to break up the black armour on the new beakies. Some Dark Angels had bone coloured armour, I believe if a piece of armour got destroyed or as a sign of veteran status. You could easily make a unit leaders have a bit of bone armour. Use transfers whenever possible if you get a single Legion transfer sheet and spread out across squads. Add stippling weathering effects on the present edges like the knees for a spot of silver. Paint the "beak" silver, that should help draw the eye to the face. Paint the shoulder stuffs silver.
Almost there! I suspect mark 6 paint schemes might have things like quartered or checkered shoulder pad livery to break it up and further differentiate them from Raven Guard.
Good call on the shoulder trim in the video. I am a bit concerned with the marines in the Horus box as I don’t like that shoulder. I want beaky boi’s but don’t know that I want to drop $300 usd on them.
YES! For the Lion! For Caliban! Absolute ace work. Thanks for the scheme, this will be simple over the 80-100 infantry I have waiting in a bin. ~ ScorpionInkHP
Hey Mediocre Hobbies - great video! Whenever you have a chance, I'd love to see your take on the modern Dark Angel Scheme as well. I quite like your methodology - it seems easy to scale for a whole army or "upgrade" for heroes and the like.
I like how you paint the amour, I would like to see if you could paint a Mk VI Dark Angel with their heraldry included, also I did have the first codex brought out for them & on the cover their bolt gun s were gray? Keep up the good work. Bless you & your family
I have a video on a black templars dreadnought down with contrast of you wanna check that out. But I will be doing more tanks of contrast soon to show people how it works.
Really great tutorial thank you. In your opinion, if I only had a chaos black undercoat but didn't do the zenithal layer (don't have a leadbelcher spray), but did a leadbelcher coat then templar black, would I still get that black metallic look, but with less shadowing?
@@MediocreHobbies I ended up taking your advice and getting the leadbelcher spray! With the templar contrast, are you diluting it with water at all? My attempt has for some of the models wiped out the metallic sheen and almost left it quite matte. Also strangely enough my leadbelcher seems to be a much darker shade than yours in the video. Have you seen that before? Thanks for your advice!
@@MediocreHobbies how would you go about doing the vehicle/dread. Prime black, zenethil Lead Blelcher, then contrast Black Templar? Or would it be more of the stippling layering method you did with the SoH tank? EDIT: Bump
@@MediocreHobbies I have not yet but I just wanted to know if I do follow the Templar video can I apply it to MKIII armor or would it be better to just by a black Templar squad
@@sunnycaljon5319 it is actually a Concern I have with there no trim shoulder pads. But the rest of the model should have plenty of crisp detail to catch the brush. But I will test when they come in.
One more Legion left to go…! Hard to believe how many videos I’ve gotten out in the past few weeks, let me know what was your favourite one!
Must admit I'm drawn to the Space Wolves scheme you shared (though my regular 40k armies are Ultramarines and Raven Guard)
fingers crossed there is spartan, contemptor and kratos videos coming after you finish the infantry!

Ye that makes sence. I look forward to seeing what people do with them.
Another awesome job, will be nice to see them all side by side once complete
Ye I’ve taken a few pictures already it is quite satisfying
Would be cool to see a tutorial for contrast paints and vehicles at some point, loving this series!
I do have one up on a black templars dreadnought. But yes I do want to do a proper tank soon.
Thank you, I will try to apply that paint sceam to my 8mm models
Oo cool! I did a few videos for Legions imperialis, might help to see what level of details you need!
Yes! Excited to watch this one

Awesome dude hope you liked it.
Ye I get you. I’m not a big fan of the shoulder pads with. I trim either.

Hahahah I hope it will be tag me when I’m there all painted so I can see.
@@MediocreHobbies you will be, Andy! Watch over on Insta.
Really been enjoying this series
Glad to hear that pal.
Totally going to do this method. Thanks!
That’s awesome to hear, hope you’re happy with results! 😊
Gland to hear it pal.
Amazing work as always brother
Cheers pal.
Legend, you won’t have to have me whine anymore!
Hahaha good to hear.

I will do a dark angel don’t worry. There one of my favourite chapters.

I’m not sure if I will be going back to do more heresy infantry anytime soon. But I shall see what I can do.
So how do you adapt these Contrast based paint schemes to the largely flat panel vehicles?
I have a video on a black templars dreadnought down with contrast of you wanna check that out. But I will be doing more tanks of contrast soon to show people how it works.
Wonder how the paints would play through the airbrush for this scheme. Awesome look
Should go on fine. Drop the psi down to between 10 and 15 and you should be good.
Really great tutorial thank you.

You could do that. But you need to make sure it’s a nice smooth coat. Honestly the investment of €15 years is well worth it.

Ah, my boys, finally!
Finally lol. I told you to me patient I’d get to them. Lol
I love the color scheme. Would you use the same technique for larger DA models like Dreads and tanks?
I would indeed.
@@MediocreHobbies Also, i was considering: Black Templar, Black Legion or AP Grim Black...any thoughts/suggestions?
@@sjbellotti black legion is to dark. Never even heard of the grim black. So my vote is the Templar.

EDIT: Bump
Really helpful video. Have you used the Black Legion contrast paint, and if so how does it compare to Black Templar?
Black legion is so much stronger in my opinion it doesn’t do much contrasting lol
Can I ask you for a 40k Dark Angels paint scheme ;) ?
Thank you in advance
I’m not sure when I’d get videos out on them but can help you if you have specific questions on paint colours?
Quick question if I wanted to paint a black Templar using this guide even though it’s for the pre heresy dark angels would it still work
Have you watched my black templar video first?
@@MediocreHobbies I have not yet but I just wanted to know if I do follow the Templar video can I apply it to MKIII armor or would it be better to just by a black Templar squad
@@brandonproctor423 of course. Any scheme can work for any armour. It will look great.
@@MediocreHobbies that’s great thank you for helping me I’m excited to do a black Templar squad
Final furlong Andy!
Hahaha just about there.
Looks amazing but I am worried about doing this on mk6 marines.
What’s then concern?
@@MediocreHobbies I’m afraid there’s not enough detail for the dry brush step but I also don’t have the box in front of me yet
@@sunnycaljon5319 it is actually a Concern I have with there no trim shoulder pads. But the rest of the model should have plenty of crisp detail to catch the brush. But I will test when they come in.
@@MediocreHobbies I plan on buying the upgrade helmets and shoulders for dark angels so maybe that’ll help me out then
Yes that should help a lot
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you.
No excuse now. Get these boys painted and that kreig army.
