looks amazing! Thanks for suggesting some alternative paints when you go through. I watch so many tutorial videos and I'm always trying to work out what a similar paint might be, I don't want to keep buying the same one from different brands !
Defiantly going to use this tutorial for when my knights come in in the box set. Are you going to do the abominant? I like the GW scheme but dont know what to do.
In the codex there's lots of cool examples of paint schemes. I just picked a bronze/maroon color scheme - no idea if that's one of the house colors haha :)
I've been wondering what colour scheme I wanted to paint my knights, and this looks like the one for me! Is it a scheme for a specific house? Or more just a generic knights scheme?
@@WatchItPaintIt ok I'm still tempted to just blu tack mine to keep the possibility of repositionning it. (And i'm quite lazy so i don't want to magnet lol)
@@WatchItPaintIt I finally purchased a chaos knight box set and boy am I overwhelmed. Also lacking heavily on tools and material. You should make a basic painting tool and paint brush list video or something of the sorts!
@@WatchItPaintIt Your videos are really easy to digest for guys like me who are inept so figured I'd mention that suggestion. I am excited, but really afraid I'm going to mess it up lol. Probably will only attempt the war dogs for now and leave the knight for when I am a little better. I really just would like to bring them with my thousand sons army for the fun of it.
@@Fast85FoxGT Yeah start with the smaller ones for sure - and you can't mess it up - just get some paint on it, and it'll be great :) It's chaos - so if your paint job is a bit spotty in some places, add dirt and rust to cover those parts!
My hands don't go numb, but my back & neck get sore after a few hours. Maybe your chair is in a bad position? One of my favorite painters does a video talking about posture. (It's like 3 min in) th-cam.com/video/qW0fpSkgwLA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=sxnrLMuwsXVPcC_c
I've heard it pronounced both ways, so I never knew if I was saying it correctly! The word is misspelled in the books and the paint pots - it should be spelled Abbadon not Abaddon.
Thank you to Games Workshop for sending an early access copy of the Chaos Knights Army Set to Ben & I :D
the stippling on the armour panels turned out amazing
These were exactly the sort of painting tips I was hoping to find, and on the first video too!
Right on! :D
Just got these as my first unit! I’m excited to follow your guides with these

Amazing tutorial! Thanks! Can´t wait to paint mine :)
Started experimenting with volumetric highlights and using stippling to achieve that is an interesting idea.
Yeah I kept it pretty basic, but you could keep going brighter with the colors to get more "volume". I stole the idea from Trovarion 😁
wow great looking model, great guide. Good job and thanks
Thank you!
Thank you for the painting tutorial. 5:11 What colors did you use for mixing.
I like how u are using the speed paints as I'm just about to buy the box.
They're pretty handy! I don't usually paint an entire model with them, but they're very good for quickly painting details.
This looks fun to Blow Up as an ORK
Definitely gonna go back over my knight and try stippling.
It's easy to do, and gives a cool weathered look. It's the easy part that I like :D

Nice job Mike!
Thanks man! :D
what do you use to prime these bad boys?

Totally generic - I think. I just thought maroon and bronze would look cool together :)
Nice color scheme !
Did you glued the torso on the legs after painting it or u just blu tack it ?
I did glue everything - except the arms at the shoulders (they interlock - you don't "need" glue) and where the magnets attach.
@@WatchItPaintIt ok
I'm still tempted to just blu tack mine to keep the possibility of repositionning it. (And i'm quite lazy so i don't want to magnet lol)
Can i get a paint list?
over the course of this video i went from mildly interested in chaos knights to wanting to get that box..
The big knight looks amazing - haven't built it yet. The "Abominant".
Damn I wish I could paint this well lol.
Just takes practice - I'm definitely no expert, but I paint a little bit every day, so it gets easier over time :)

@@Fast85FoxGT That's actually a great idea for a video :)
Have fun with that box set haha. Each knight is a major project!

Do your hands ever go numb while painting? Mine do all the time, it sucks.
