Sad to see the end of this series, but incredibly grateful that you devoted such time to creating a benchmark series utilising contrast paints. I have picked up so many tips from this and constantly direct my fellow hobbyists to your videos. Excited to see what you have lined up (hoping for something non-GW)
New to 40k and start with Thousand Sons because I liked how the models looked. This is hands down the best rubric marines painting video anywhere. It’s incredibly informative, beautifully produced, and an absolute joy to watch. I especially appreciate the little details-the sound design is downright sumptuous. Pure zen.
It was difficult to wait for over a year to see my Legion painted, but it was more than worth the wait! Amazing job as always and congratulations on finishing up the 'Eavy Contrast Marines series - easily one of the most informative and entertaining painting series ever recorded!
Every video you've put out has been a masterclass, but you really saved the best for last. Absolutely amazing, my jealousy and admiration know no bounds.
I’ve never painted a space marine and probably never will. But this series teaches so many different techniques with Contrast, it’s a must watch no matter the mini!
I've really enjoyed this series showing how the contrast paints are another useful tool rather than an instant fix for quick painting. I understand videos are time consuming and costly to make but I would love to see you take on one of the greater demons using this approach.
Thank you so much! I'm new to painting and wanted to use Akhelian Green for my homebrew Space Marines, but was having trouble with the contrast paint. This video, along with your Blood Angel one, have really helped show me the techniques to remove the splotchiness of my painting. It's also helped me decide on what classic paint colours I'll use for the vehicles. You're a legend!
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Painting has never been my strong suit, but videos like these are seriously so amazing as teaching tools. I'm still getting splotches, but I think it's because I'm loading too much paint on my brush. I'm also accidentally/habitually tapping older, half-dry spots as if I were using classic acrylic paints. I'll soon be trying to cover up these mistakes using your mix of Ahriman and Temple Guard blues. I cannot state this enough: these tutorials are invaluable!
Love the video, Convinced me to buy some Thousand sons. I have airbrush primed Vallejo white primer and have airbrushed base coat with Corax white. Every time i paint Akhelian Green its alot darker that in the video. Did you use any contrast medium? (Wish me luck for 10,000 hours of trims)
Hi, I've just run into the same issue but over White Scar spray. I think 1-1 akhelian green to contrast medium will be good but I'll have to test it tomorrow.
This was awesome I just got into the game of Warhammer and chose Thousand Sons, but I always found painting to be difficult. Thank you for making it so clear and easy!
Another awesome video Juan. Gotta say I’m kinda disappointed that this is the last video for the series though. Can’t wait to see what else you decide to make a series about. Keep up the great work.
I absolutely love blue and want to paint my Slaanesh Astartes with an obnoxious pastel blue (Daphne Blue probably) and thanks to this series, I can pull it off! Thank you!!!
Gracias por el fantástico vídeo. Cuando pinté las partes doradas entendí porqué Duncan empezó imprimandolos en dorado... veo que también te lo has pasado genial pintando los dorados 😅. El mejor marine rubrica que he visto hasta el momento 😍
Yep...this was as good as I thought it might be. Dude that gold is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. It has so much depth and richness without looking orange. I have thoroughly enjoyed the Eavy Contrast Marine series(s) and greatly look forward to whatever you paint next. 10/10. :)
One question regarding painting Chaos Marine trim...would it be less painful to paint everything gold first, shade and then highlight. Then clean the inner panels and drop in the colour. I have lots of CSM's to paint and the idea of painting lots of fiddly trim is kinda putting me off them LOL.
I’ve been waiting for this one 😀 great stuff like usual. I’m looking forward to painting my space marines like this. Thanks again for the great work that you do, and stay safe.
Damn that was good series to watch. Thousand Son made incredibly nicely :D If you want idea for next project then why not try to do Guard/Renegade Guard series? They should be a breeze to paint with Contrasts.
Really good - I had a thought to avoid the pain of the trim - base coat with gold spray? This will change the look of the Akhelian green for sure to be warmer and metallic, but might be a good compromise?
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Naw. I was watching from home... Thank God! Awesome videos man. You inspired me to paint my new death guard army using contrast paints. I watched a ton of death guard painting tutorials and yours, by far, resonated with me the most. I hope you keep enjoying, and putting out, videos for a long while. Your painting tutorials are unreal!
Congrats sir! You are now free of the monolithic rock of the contrast marines. As much as I loved your series I honestly cant wait to see you branch out now the saga is complete 😂. More stuff like the shovel knight or just general techniques is great. Regardless of what lies ahead I cant wait for you to make all of our paint jobs look bad!
Another nice video and I just got a bunch of Rubric Marines myself to try out. This morning before work I had the fatal idea to quickly spray base coat my Rubrics with Corax White spray and now they look like sandpaper...... so I will brush base coat the next ones I think.... how did you base-coat yours?
Wraith one lends itself to warmer colours, whilst grey seer is a colder base. Coral white is fairly neutral compared to those two. But for most people with human levels of painting skills we pick one primer colour and learn how to work from that.
Hi Jaun. Would it potentially be easier to paint the brass first that way a painter like myself doesnt have to try and touch up the contrast teal if i mess up? Love the videos by the way. My go to painter for tips!
Not If you are doing Contrast. It's more important to have the smoothest teal layer on the armour possible and you cannot do that without being messy. Also I personally really dislike that method. I always paint from the inside out, makes for the cleanest result
Buenas! Podrías hacer un vídeo de 'Eavy Contrast Marines de los Dark Angels?? Me manejo bien con las sombras y perfilados, pero no sé cómo darle bien las luces a esas cacho hombreras verdes. Muchas gracias de antemano y un saludo!
Muy chulo! La verdad es que me estaban dando ganas de pintar un ejército pequeño de Mil Hijos hasta que he visto lo tedioso que es pintar la parte dorada xDD (aunque te ha quedado genial). Sabes ya qué vas a pintar después?
Excellent job! I can't help but feel though, that painting to this level defeats the marketing strategy for contrast. This is not usage of a simple technique.. just excellent painting! Would you mind sharing your prefer thinner for metallics that you used for the 1:1 of runelord brass and liberator armor gold?
For the thinner part, just water. I don't ever need any other thing that put them on my palette and add about of water till they flow nicely. Regarding contrast paints, I refuse to think any paint has a designated purpose, paint is just paint, just a tool. Also that marketing by GW is the reason a lot of people don't like what is an amazing and useful tool.
Thanks for a great series. I'm curious, how you would do some of the 30k variants of some of legions (such as red for thousand sons or purple for emperors children)?
No idea sorry. And I don't plan on doing them either. Again sorry That being said, some contrast over a metallic undercoat sounds like a good plan for Thousand Sons
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Excelente trabajo, como siempre. Algún día tendrás que contar tu secreto sobre como hacer que la pintura con contraste te vaya tan bien en la miniatura. Ni muy espesa que se seca enseguida, ni muy líquida que parece un glazing. Perfecta oye. Yo no consigo que se mueva tan bien...
No hago nada especial. La pongo en la paleta, cargo el pincel y como ves en el vídeo. Es cuestión de mover el pincel rápido y usar un pincel bien grande
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures ¿Con bien grande te refieres a un 2? 🤔 Empiezo a pensar que a lo mejor el pincel que he usado, o era muy fino o estaba poco cargado de agua. ¡Muchas gracias por responder!
Yo no uso nada más pequeño que un 3 y un 4 para pintar últimamente. Pero los números entre marcas no son equivalentes. Cuanto más grande más fail es aplicar el Contrast uniformemente
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Realmente en los vídeos el pincel se ve grande, pero pensaba que era por el zoom; no creí que fuera un 4... Este tip del tamaño en relación a la uniformidad es oro, JH. ¡Muchísimas gracias!
Lol, my theory is that Akhelian Green and Terradon Turquoise had their names interchanged at some point by mistake. Realized too late and had to stick with it
Not sure if this comment will be seen because this is an older video but how do you attach the sub assembly parts after? It doesn't look like you use any kind of coverage on the connection points
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures thanks for the response, I heard elsewhere that super glue wouldn't hold that well but it clearly works for you so I may give it a shot.
It works perfectly well, specially for stuff like backpacks and the guns on marines that have a physical plug or two points of contact. If you are worried just scrape the paint from the joint before gluing it. If you do that you can also try to use plastic cement but be aware that it will destroy paint, so be careful
Have really enjoyed all the videos in this series - now, out of all those Space Marines which would you be most excited about turning into an entire Army?
Genial trabajo, como todos los vídeos! Como sugerencia, estaría ver alguna mini con muchos remaches y detalles para pintar metálicos que no sean lilos de armas (rollo admech) sigue así!
Say, how did you figure out the positon of his arms and weapon for sub-assembly so that when he's complete it looks good? They just dont want to fit right for me :|
Espectacular resultado, aunque pintarse 30 marines así...🤣🤣. Me encanta el acabado del dorado ( te lo copiare para mis necrontes ) y espectacular de las gemas moradas. Que pinceles usas? Porque parece que pintas con lapiceros con esa punta tan afilada... 😅
This was about 6-8 hours maybe? I never time myself. The only reason I would never paint a full army is because I would go mad with the trim. Not for me. I've Painted an army to this level before, I have no issues with the quality, it's about the f*cking trim
Thanks! There's usually a couple things that make things better. 1 - USE A BIG BRUSH, the bigger the better but don't sacrifice control. The key is doing as little brushstrokes as possible to cover an area 2 - GO SECTION BY SECTION, Don't try to do the whole mini at once, concentrate in a section you know you can manage 3 - APPLY THICK, REMOVE THE EXCESS, here the previous point is very important, apply a thick coat to a manageable area, let the paint sit and gravity and surface tension do its job and then with a clean brush, BEFORE it starts drying, soak up excess and undesired pooling. Hope that helps
Yeah no, with contrast for flat large areas you want a large brush. I use my Rosemary and Co Series 33 size 3, its my general go to brush for everything but it's big enough to do a good job with contrast paints as well
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Last question, sorry to be a bother, but I've seen you mention glazes in several of videos, do you have a video guide as how to make a glaze properly?
No, but just because Kujo has made the ultimate guide and I cannot ever make a better one. Look for Kujo's video called "Fat Glazing" it's absolutely perfect. Happy to help
Most fun, Alpha Legion and Emperor's Children. As for the second question, the whole idea behind the series is to break the mentality that they are separate systems, they are not. Just different tools for different situations

Brilliant. Hadn’t considered using Drakoath flesh for gold shading. Had only done Gulliman flesh before. Will try it!
Do.it, it's a beautiful tone. Very similar to Chestnut ink actually
i really like the music you put in your videos, it's some kind of hypnotizing stuff and of course really love your videos
Thanks mate 😘
That runelord brass + liberator gold mix makes a nice brighter gold color. Also like how you used canoptek alloy to highlight. Great job.

How do you decide to do either wraithbone, grey seer or corax white as base coat?
Wraith one lends itself to warmer colours, whilst grey seer is a colder base. Coral white is fairly neutral compared to those two. But for most people with human levels of painting skills we pick one primer colour and learn how to work from that.
I choose Wraithbone when I want to paint warm, saturated tones, Greyseer if I want a desaturated look and Corax if I want very bright colours
Wonderful job. Thanks for the example, it remains to buy rubrics and repeat ...
Thank you for watching! And if you do buy more Rubrics, please don't send them to me

Hi Jaun. Would it potentially be easier to paint the brass first that way a painter like myself doesnt have to try and touch up the contrast teal if i mess up?
Love the videos by the way. My go to painter for tips!
Not If you are doing Contrast. It's more important to have the smoothest teal layer on the armour possible and you cannot do that without being messy.

Me encanta el acabado del dorado ( te lo copiare para mis necrontes ) y espectacular de las gemas moradas.
Que pinceles usas? Porque parece que pintas con lapiceros con esa punta tan afilada... 😅
Rosemary and co series 33 tamaño 3 y 4.
Y gracias 😊
It looks like it'd be fun to paint a few hundred points of these guys, but that it'd get old pretty fast.
Yes, yes it will 😂
Premium intro. Great video! Why did you use yellow on the runes and eyes before glazing with green? My feeling would be to do green over white.
Because I wanted a lime green glow, but yeah, you can do straight green for sure
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Oh I get it! Thank you for the information!
Happy to help
This looks so fantastic!
This was about 6-8 hours maybe? I never time myself. The only reason I would never paint a full army is because I would go mad with the trim. Not for me.
I've Painted an army to this level before, I have no issues with the quality, it's about the f*cking trim
How do you feel after painting a blue marine?
It's not blue though. It's TEAL, teal is awesome
These look super cool! I dunno, whenever I try contrast painting it never seems to look clean and smooth, it gets a little bit patchy.
Thanks! There's usually a couple things that make things better.
1 - USE A BIG BRUSH, the bigger the better but don't sacrifice control. The key is doing as little brushstrokes as possible to cover an area
2 - GO SECTION BY SECTION, Don't try to do the whole mini at once, concentrate in a section you know you can manage
3 - APPLY THICK, REMOVE THE EXCESS, here the previous point is very important, apply a thick coat to a manageable area, let the paint sit and gravity and surface tension do its job and then with a clean brush, BEFORE it starts drying, soak up excess and undesired pooling.
Hope that helps
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Thank you very much. I've been using a skinny fine detail brush on these guys. ^_^;;
Yeah no, with contrast for flat large areas you want a large brush. I use my Rosemary and Co Series 33 size 3, its my general go to brush for everything but it's big enough to do a good job with contrast paints as well
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Last question, sorry to be a bother, but I've seen you mention glazes in several of videos, do you have a video guide as how to make a glaze properly?
No, but just because Kujo has made the ultimate guide and I cannot ever make a better one.
Look for Kujo's video called "Fat Glazing" it's absolutely perfect.
Happy to help
How about black templars?
Use the Raven Guard video or the Black Legion one. No point in making yet another black marines video
So what's the verdict Juan? Which do you have more fun painting with and which feels easier? Contrast or Traditional paints!
Most fun, Alpha Legion and Emperor's Children.
As for the second question, the whole idea behind the series is to break the mentality that they are separate systems, they are not. Just different tools for different situations
I hate to ask but I have been struggling to paint daemonettes with contrast and was wondering if you could make tutorial?
Yes I will at some point, all factions will get a video.
Don't know when though
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures thanks man
Happy to help
amazing!
Thanks
