Simplifying Howling Griffons - How I Paint Things

- Painting quartered Space Marines can seem daunting, but like any other project it doesn't need to seem impossible if you've got a plan in mind for how to tackle it! READ MORE:
The Howling Griffons are an awesome Chapter and absolutely iconic - when you say 'quartered Marines,' someone's almost invariably going to mention them immediately. With just a little thought in your preparation and the right paints and primers, you can make this a far easier task than it might seem otherwise.

Yellow: hard to paint good because the pigments are always either gritty or translucent.
Red: hard to paint because the highlights either look pink or orange.
Sledgehammer: Why not both?
You absolute mad lad. I love it.
If you're going to make it up by the seat of your pants, might as well do it big style, right? 😅
This is the Start Collecting box for the Marines, isn't it?
I love it. Great paint job my friend. Of course now I'm going to have to try this myself.
Much obliged! I quite enjoyed the process myself; it's definitely a tick on the Hobby Bucket List to have painted a Howling Griffon.
Great breakdown, thanks! I hit my last 1st Born Tactical Marine with the Griffons scheme and had fun doing it. Will probably have to do some Primaris after watching this.
This looks so good. It is seriously tempting me as I try to pick a chapter to build and paint.
It's surely not the quickest Chapter to paint, but my word do they look smart on the table!
Q: How do you turn an ordinary Gryphon into a Howling Gryphon?
A: Knock over a paint pot.
*Weeps in Mancoran*
Top work sir. Hopefully this will encourage people to give Griffons a try.
They're an army that has a lasting appeal and they look absolutely killer on the table. It'd be great to see more of them!
Yellow-red quartered? Is that some kind of punishment for sins in a former life?
(Awesome results and guide though :-))
It's reserved for people who get coffee grinds in the sugar
Not gonna lie, slightly elevated heart rate at the site of that pot going over
Mine too! I had an incident with a shade of beige a couple of months ago. Fortunately it kind of matched the carpet, when I say kind of, you can’t see it at all with the rug I threw over it. Wife hasn’t noticed....yet!
@@wargamesgeek1334 I also have covered a paint spillage with a rug, bedroom with a pot of 90s chaos black...mum wasn’t impressed
You're not the only one!
@@OldNightTavern Rugs, the saviours of miniature painters across the world 😂😂
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio it’s that split second when it goes over, heart in mouth time. Great figure beautifully painted 👍👍
This helped me SO much. I wanted to do a Howling Griffons Killteam and this have me the courage to do it. Thank you!
Really cool video, i love your channel its always super relaxing !! Can you paint death korps of krieg they're awesome ?!!
I think that defence to biting would work in a court of law. Nobody would think it was unreasonable behaviour.

What did Evander Hollyfield say to Mike Tyson?
I thought howling griffons were orange and yellow 🤔 the red looks good too
I used to play brazen claws back in the day. So what I did was undercoat then lightly pencil on the lines
beautiful job there my friend great tutorial thanks for sharing
Have you considered using Contrast paints for this? I actually really like the red and yellow ones, and it might be easier than trying to use thin layer paints.
Trying to get a straight line would become much more difficult, in my experience with Contrast. The colours are certainly very vibrant and the shading is taken care of, but tidying up any mistakes would rely on reapplying Wraithbone from the pot, which never seems to give quite the same finish as the primer spray. I'm sure it's not impossible, but I think it'd need a much steadier hand than I have!
Superb 👍
Welp, as soon as my deathwatch and guard are done, I guess I’ve got a new project
Using primer to clean up mistakes is genius, that never occurred to me
the mighty brush does griffon decals
Oh my... 👍 !
Great job, the gloss varnish step gave me ideas to do a pop art style-much like in the form of comic books or manga-for some certain minis I have.
It isn't a better thing painting some parts separate, before the final assembly, such as arms & backpack? Impressive work, in any case!
Except for some very hard to see parts under the pack, it's actually not very difficult to set up the center line. It'd take more time to paint the miniature in parts and then assemble.
As always, great video. I love the variety of the minis you paint. I always learn something new to try. Thanks!
Glad you like them! I try to make sure there's at least a little something different in each video so no matter what you're watching, you'll take away something useful.
Tips and tricks. Love it mate.
Haha, I saw you talking about doing this on twitter. I was hoping I could convince you to do a colonial marine from Aliens but this is cool too. Can’t go wrong with space marines!
They're very much an 'in the future' kind of thing. Not something I need to be ordering while I'm trying to move house! 😅
I remember the colour scheme from teh 2nd Edition 40K books. Loved it at the time and still do. Top effort this with great tips as usual. Have you considered getting an airbrush for those base coats? When I realised how much I was spending on rattle cans I thought actually an airbrush, even a cheapo one, is a great little investment.
I've actually got an airbrush, it just doesn't see much use. It's a bit of a hassle with my current setup to get it out, plug in the compressor, make room for all the gumpfh... I'll get to flashing around what one can manage with an airbrush eventually, but I figure rattle cans are a little more accessible to most even if the price does add up fairly quickly to airbrush and compressor set territory!
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio ah nice! Certainly a useful tool and the learning curve isn't too bad, especially if you're just doing base coats. They've been around for ages so I wonder if back in the day the GW 'eavy metal did actually use those old red and yellow paints with a brush to achieve the results? Would have been 15 thin coats!
Thank you , Sonic .
@3:10 does that mean it's not viable to lay down some masking tape and spray the red on like you did the yellow?
Edit: HAha! @7:07, you call this out. Watching the video is so educational.
Yeah, the sheer number of curves and bumps on a Marine make it next to impossible. I'm sure it could be done, but it's probably a lot faster just to paint it!
Looking super cool, I am scarred of painting some thing like this 😬
It's more time consuming than a regular paint job, for sure, but it turned out to be not much more difficult. Definitely not as hard as I might have thought!
Quality work again.Reminds me of a medieval court jester or is it a harlequin,(help grey matter cells fading) but with pimped up weapons.Red and Yellow are a great colour choice🙂👍
Not sure but perhaps painting the parts while dissasembled might be a quicker option, you can get a squad of these in parts, cover one side of the part for all of them and just spray paint and repeat for the other.... that way you can get the whole squad much faster I think and as for the mistakes or details you can always fix them later on
wow very different than my formula for my HG army but quite interesting regardless
@3:10 does that mean it's not viable to lay down some masking tape and spray the red on like you did the yellow?
Very nice result. Good tip on spraying Demonic Yellow over Skeleton Bone. Always impressed at how well the Marine Juice works. I did some mucking about with mixing washes off the back of seeing it and Aly's Brown Liquid. Haven't quite nailed a mix for the Napoleonics yet - shading yellows, blues and whites in one go inevitably leads to compromise.
Yeah, some of the 'all in one' solutions do work better for some armies than others. The Marine Juice seems to be the best compromise between shading and a bit of subtle warmth in the recesses. Dark enough that it'd work on Ultramarines, but with enough tint that it works pretty well over both red and yellow? Bonus. I think Aly's Brown Liquid is probably the one that sees more use since it's not dark enough to stain things like wood and metal quite so much. I can all-over shade with the brown stuff, then go back to metal and similar with another shade to darken that out a bit more.
Great job! 👍
Who else had a mini heart attack when the paint pot went over?
You're not the only one... 😂
Thank you! You've given me the confidence to go ahead with my own Howlling Griffons killteam.
Paint pot in the wet palette, rookie mistake there Troy 😂
Dear Mr Sledge.
I love your tutorials, your methods and your charm.
Very stunning and bright take on a ditto chapter and scheme, with very simple steps. Bravo 👏🏻❤🤓
Did you use a brush on varnish?
Spray in both cases, listed in the description.
Thank you
Wow! That looks really neat and tidy.
It's definitely a case of 'more haste, less speed.' Slowing down to apply the red over the yellow made a huge difference in how little clean-up I actually had to do.
I think I'll just do this for a single model, I'd die if I had to paint a full quartered army
Always been a fan of the griffins, my custom chapter the star vypers is a dark yellow and blue quartered scheme, with white helmets and knee pads if I'd not already finished the army I think I may have done the yellow this way, great vid as always sledgehammer 👍🏻
Just started my own Howling Griffons force at the start of the year... I found it much easier to do the colour scheme with the backpacks off... i'm also thinking of painting my vehicles a totally different colour but painting hatches etc in the red and yellow quarters... thinking of a leadbelcher spray and a wash then highlights... as simple as possible lol
Howling griffins are so cool. Now I can finally recreate the painting of the howling griffin blade guards in the codex. Thanks
Wicked looking model that that pose of the marine really kicks it off nice job mate
While biting someone may be off the table, everyone within hearing should give "that guy" a firm 'SOD OFF' whether it's their mini or not. Looks great! One day I'll paint lines half that straight!
Looks really cool yellow is classically hard to paint you’ve made it look easy
Excellent Work Sonic! It looks really good and is a very interesting color scheme. Thanks for sharing this.

Shared this into the only Howling Griffons Facebook group :) thanks for sharing!!
Also, we have decals on our group.
Awesome, thank you! I had a feeling someone out there would know where to get their hands on 'em - or make their own!
Great work! Love Howling Griffons.
Ketchup and Mustard Marine
The dividing line between the colours is so crisp that I would have sworn you used some form of masking. Amazing that you did it all with just a steady hand 😳
Great job and I loved all your little hints and tidbits while painting
Not the steadiest hand out there, just plenty of little spots of clean up! Patience will pay dividends with these guys for sure.
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio seems like practice does make perfect 😉
Hello, love it.
A beauty as always
Stunning mate
