Fun fact: Different coloured helmets were initially a mark of censure and were later converted to act as signs of leadership during the battle of Calth by the order of Robute Gulliman. This was done as coms were down and the chain of command was difficult to determine amongst the chaos that was Calth.
And it was only red in the Ultramarines. It was changed by Guilliman in honor of Sgt. Aeonid Thiel, first censured for thinking of theoreticals to fight other astartes, then praised in Calth for his lateral, creative thinking.
Excellent, as I have come to expect from you. I'm holding back from the game at the moment (letting the initial rush die down a bit) as I'm eagerly awaiting some Battle Reports, something which you mentioned about doing. I hope you do because I'm sure your conclusions will be honest and therefore will be very much a deciding factor
The models look great and I agree with you that painting the weapons black is a good idea. This has been a really neat series and I have enjoyed every tutorial. Take care of your hand and thanks for sharing this tutorial. I am looking forward to the terrain and buildings and how you paint them.
Thanks so much for the LI videos. I ordered 2 starter sets from Eire Hobbies as a result of your content. I've convinced my brother to take a set and try it.
Hope your hand gets better soon! I’m taking my time with my little dudes, trimming away the excess plastic, only takes a few seconds per marine. No more effort than having to scrape mould lines on full size minis. Keeping my hand steady to paint the tiny details is much more work haha
Love your videos, please do an Ultramarine video, and one with white armour either World Eaters or White Scars. I think I will paint the little area between the feet before applying the Nuln Oil as it might make the figures blend into the base better.
Thanks for this! Becoming increasingly convinced that 4 or even 500 infantry figure armies are going to be straight forward. Really enjoyed the Rhino paint job, that was so good I'm seriously considering a Blood Angels force now. (Which is interesting as usually I'm a Night Lords player, but what the heck, I need an enemy force to mow down, don't I?)
First! I'm looking forward to trying LI, there's an epic fan at my local store and he's got his set which he plans to get built before Christmas and he's going to be giving demo games, which I'm all in for. Still not sure if I'll dive in myself and which legion I'd do if I did. I'll be interested in the future basing videos and how you tackle the other legions. Rest up your hand, I'm eagerly awaiting the Flesh Eater Courts box myself.
I have watched a number of YT creators work on these LI models and I have a question. Do you think they need to be weighted (perhaps by putting so metal inside the)? I'm a bit of a Klutz with a plastic 40k figure, fining it easy to drop them. A fix I use is to put metal washers in the bases. Not sure what I'd do with a Rhino of this size, but I would think it is very light.
Awesome video again. I really like the tip with leadbelcher on the rhino. Blood Angels are indeed iconic. Looking forward to black oriented Legion like the Raven Guard. Because with such a small size I wonder how it could look good. Btw, you have great control with your brush, which size is it plz? the one for the Rhino for example. Thanks again.
"He painted this in a cave! With a broken hand" Awesome tutorial, going to be trying almost the exact same scheme this week. If you were going for a brighter undercoat, would you still go Chaos Black first, then White Scars White?
Love your videos, Hope you will do more chapters ❤ i will do Salamanders and titan house legio solaria. I couldnt resist the early christmas present for myself so got a WARLORD TITAN 😂😂
Why do you use chaos black then a white or grey? Why not just start with white scar or grey seer to begin with? I thought all citadel bases act as a primer.
Adding a light spray of Grey Seer over a full coat of black primer adds a small amount of texture to the primer which gives the contrast paint more to grip on to. It also adds light and shadows which helps define the model more.
What method did you use to spray the two primers? Did you spray one directly over the other or did you spray the grey seer/white on top of the model head-first?
The BA iconography and heraldry incl. helmet colours etc. existed since the great crusade era. See official descriptions in former 40k BA Codices. i.e. 8th. Edition pages 16 / 17 : " The BA use a system of iconography and heraldry that dates back to the era of the great Crusade"..."though it is similar in some respects to the CODEX Astartes system introduced and refined by R.G., it has a logic and a martial artistry--all of it's own".... And the BA KEPT their markings throughout the great scouring into the 40k era until today.
Not gonna get into Legions Imperialis. Not gonna do it. I keep repeating myself that and then I keep seeing these wonderful videos and results. It gets harder.

It was only censure for the ultramarines, night lords used the red gauntlets to mark censure fir example
And it was only red in the Ultramarines. It was changed by Guilliman in honor of Sgt. Aeonid Thiel, first censured for thinking of theoreticals to fight other astartes, then praised in Calth for his lateral, creative thinking.
The lore is all over the place on this one.
@@MediocreHobbies And also: "your dudes" rule. Always the most important.

Cheers pal. Ye is still hope to. Let’s hope o don’t get to distracted my old world…….
Thank you for doing multiple chapters! I like the yellow helmets
Anytime pal.

Cheers pal. God your enjoying them. Many more to come.
Thanks you so much for this video/tutorial I tackled the first few squads and they look awesome for that scale
Glad your liking it pal.

That’s awoken to hear pal
Great result on these Andy, sorry to hear about your hand hope it’s feeling better soon.
Cheers pal.

Good to know pal. I shall give it a try on my next batch.
You really do feel accomplished when you complete these units.
Such a good feeling.
Love your videos, please do an Ultramarine video, and one with white armour either World Eaters or White Scars. I think I will paint the little area between the feet before applying the Nuln Oil as it might make the figures blend into the base better.
That’s not a dad idea.
Even though I'm not doing Epic I love watching these vids!
Glad to hear pal.
Praise the Emperor he made the video! Now I need to extra make sure that I completely build everything
Hahaha ye that can happen.
Great video as always, thanks for posting 👍
Thanks for watching!
Would love to see how you paint up World Eaters, thanks for the great content!
Cheers pal. I will see what I can do.
Cheers Andy! Rest that hand man!
I wish lol.
That leadbelcher dry brush ❤
Crazy difference right?!

I am really enjoying your Legions Imperialis content. Sorry to hear about your hand, though.
Cheers pal.
First!
I'm looking forward to trying LI, there's an epic fan at my local store and he's got his set which he plans to get built before Christmas and he's going to be giving demo games, which I'm all in for.

Do.
Can you please do Night Lords? Having real trouble trying to figure out my paint scheme
I shall try and find the time.
I have watched a number of YT creators work on these LI models and I have a question.
Do you think they need to be weighted (perhaps by putting so metal inside the)?
I'm a bit of a Klutz with a plastic 40k figure, fining it easy to drop them. A fix I use is to put metal washers in the bases.
Not sure what I'd do with a Rhino of this size, but I would think it is very light.
The aspect ratio (base diameter to height) makes them very stable. There’s no need to add any weight
The bases are very thin so probably no room for anything like and they have a very low centre of gravity so should be good without it.
Awesome video again. I really like the tip with leadbelcher on the rhino. Blood Angels are indeed iconic.
Looking forward to black oriented Legion like the Raven Guard. Because with such a small size I wonder how it could look good.
Btw, you have great control with your brush, which size is it plz? the one for the Rhino for example. Thanks again.
Ye I need to get around to doing more.
"He painted this in a cave! With a broken hand" Awesome tutorial, going to be trying almost the exact same scheme this week. If you were going for a brighter undercoat, would you still go Chaos Black first, then White Scars White?
Hahah best comment ever.
Hey how would you do Word Bearers? As not to make em look like Blood angels? Black pauldrons but what else? :)
Well there a very dark maroon red. So I’d go down that route.
Do you nuln oil wash the vehicles after the leadbelcher?
I was wondering the same thing
No not in the tank.
Love your videos, Hope you will do more chapters ❤ i will do Salamanders and titan house legio solaria. I couldnt resist the early christmas present for myself so got a WARLORD TITAN 😂😂

Here’s a video on how I prime! th-cam.com/video/fJWQtxZVcOg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=rxYtFMokns_JJMON
@@MediocreHobbies thanks I was just looking at that, would you say there anything different with priming these tiny dudes compared to an unclean one?
this video might help! th-cam.com/video/CLvqjjDoQSI/w-d-xo.html

Also. REST THAT HAND MAN! lol
I wish I could pal.
oh Andy what are you like busting your hand like that? Cool video and i hope your hand gets better quickly
Cheers pal. And I will.
Not gonna get into Legions Imperialis. Not gonna do it. I keep repeating myself that and then I keep seeing these wonderful videos and results. It gets harder.
Just get a small set and see if it appeals or not!
Night Lords pleaaaase 😊
I do love night lords.
You talk so dang fast sometimes, hard to keep up! Anyway, looks good, per usual
Haha I will try to watch that! Thanks man, glad you liked it!
of course, I love all your videos! keep it up.
