Or what I could ever hope to accomplish in a month.

I have primed some of my minis
@@stefancarter1 good for you, mine are still on the sprues
i really struggle at painting but holy cow. i followed this step by step and my marines look insane now. I am so incredible happy with how they turned out. Thanks for the vid.
> look insane
sounds like your marine got tainted by Chaos, time to call the Inquisition
@@alienvseditor I SMELL HERESY
They do look amazing which is not a word I usually associate with Ultramarines but Midwinter managed to make them look good!
If I painted miniatures I would do a few infantry models really well while leaving the others with less details to save time but still have some stellar models. This way I could use my time on things like characters and vehicles/monsters.
The fact you get to a decently painted model in about 20 minutes, I find actually incredible. It takes me about that long to get my paints out.
Heeey, get off my lawn! :D glad to see you paint marines!
It was hard to paint while holding back vomit ;)

Midwinter Minis nope you made us wait to long, you shall endure this
That idea about watering down the dust colour into the leg armour is exactly what I needed to finish off my own marines, cheers Guy!
Yeah, it will be very helpful for my desert strike themed marines!
About time we saw an Ultramarine that looks like he's fighting rather than resplendent on the parade ground. Killed it again Guy.
Hey Guy! I'm a game designer/developer and 3D art enthusiast. I think all 3d game artists should watch your videos. One can learn a lot about painting virtual 3d models from your tutorials. Also... I was a huge tabletop and paper RPG games fan in high school (some 20 years ago...) and I miss these "physical models" that you can actually touch. Your videos kinda fulfill this need for me :). Thanks for it!
Your need for phisical touch is fulfilled by watching something you can't touch? lmao aighty.

Also me: *sweats nervously*
Space Marines: Our Purity seals bless us in battle, grant us strength, and show that the God Emperor watches over us
Guy: Awww Look at this cute little participation award
One of us, one of us, one of us! I knew you'd finally crack and paint up some marines Guy 😉
I absolutely love how you YOLO your paints into whatever suits. Very easy as a 'new' painter to watch endless videos on painting schemes, when I just really need to sit back and think about how I used to manage with about 20 paints total as a 12 year old, and had ZERO problems - but I'm back after 25 years out the loop, and need to remember that TH-cam should be for reference and not get in the way of progress :D love your content Guy, you are a super cool dude xoxo
I just bought my first set! The Recruit Edition. It looked really daunting but your videos really put me at ease and I made the leap of faith! Thank you!
How did it go? I am thinking of taking the leap also...
I got the same one
@@LuckySunbear Mixing the recruit box and the box just above it the elite? or something gives you a wonderful starting force for either Necrons or Space Marines.
I know It's almost a year old at this point, but I kept having trouble referring back to the recipe provided with my own marines trying to match the color. I think Caledor Sky is the GW blue equivalent you would want rather than Calgar Blue--hope this saves new painters some headache!
Thank you, I used Calador blue how he had in his description and it was not looking the same as his video, is maybe the issue. I’m gonna pick up some sky and try it
Got frustrated when I saw him mention calgar blue, knowing damn well that's no where near calgar blue. I assumed maybe Caledon sky and lo and behold on the conversion chart it is
Best painting tutorial for space marines I’ve seen. They look relatively perfect at each step that you can stop at and the final form isn’t tacky or cartoonish
Spandau Ballet cameo, 'participation award', 'vent-y things', 'sticky-out bits' - all add to the 'this is way better than the standard "now we will paint in the Eavy Metal style" instructional video
As a wise man once said" ultramarines are not actually ultramarine blue, in fact, they are actually a shade of cobalt blue making their entire existence a lie. "
Since you publicly said that you don't like primaris Space Marines can I have them😛
This is my favourite Ultramarine painting tutorial that I've seen. It's actually inspired me to get back into the hobby after nearly a 10 year break.
Next thing will be "I'm paiting 2k of Ultramarines in 24 hours"...
*Pulls out giant can of blue spraypaint*
Tinfoil hat time: The moment Guy paints a firstborn marine, they get +1 wound and buffs to their weapons... coincidence? I think not.
Can Guy paint some more orks/nids then?
Never thought I would say this, but now I want some space marines
Agree these look really gritty and grimdark.
They are a little bit like the “Stock characters” but to be fair they have some awesome looking models.
Been wanting some blood angels for a long time. But they’re starter box is bloody expensive. Like every other army. Not being able to get a job sucks
Heretic
Reminds me of the old forgeworld models that actually looked like they’d been in a fight.
Finally, some marine that looks like he's really fighting on the battle ground, and not looks like on parade in the name of Emperor on Terra. "The blood, the sweat, the tears.."
Love the grimdark look to this ultramarine, I've seen so many that look too pristine, I'm definitely going to use these techniques for my crimson fists!
I will forever refer to purity seals as "participation awards"
Sounds heretical
@@foty8679 Indeed...*laughs alongside Nurgle brothers*
Just a fun little fact for you: A combination of Gold and Silver is called "electrum"
Your videos have rekindled my love for minis and painting, and now I'm browsing ebay and GW day and night trying to find just the right set of models to paint.
That stippled effect really makes an Ultramarine look a lot better
Thanks for the support, Girth Quake
omfg. "Participation Award" ahahah love it!
“We March for Maccrag! And we shall know no fear!”
I can NOT imagine doing this for hundreds of pieces. It's such a powerful gate from keeping my from entering into the hobby, alongside the price of entry (which would be higher if I wanted prepainted units).
As someone who's just getting into tabletop gaming this is absolutely amazing to watch
“Random torrential rain” standard English weather. If you referred to it as torrential though, does that mean a few small towns were washed away?
There were landslides and sadly a train derailed in Scotland, killing three.
Also a caravan park fell down a hill
I get it, torrential is biblical level rain. Torrential in Australia is rain that lasts more than 4 hours. In my part of it anyway.
@@coalitionofrob436 Rain can last for less than four hours?
Oh yes, rare it goes more than 4 down my way
When Guy paints an Ultramarine:
*The codex astartes does not support this action*
Gman: IT WAS A GUIDE NOT A RULEBOOK
MAN! I just ordered my first set and going through videos of how to's and this one really looks good. I might try this method as I like the worn gritty look
I get that sometimes you want to get an army done quickly, but to me painting minis is a chill precise thing, not a rush. But interesting to see how you can get them done quickly.
I know my comments mostly get lost in the noise now that you've boomed in popularity, but just know that the old viewers are still around guy
Oh, don't worry, I know
That is the cutest thing ever.
I want to say something childish like 'Get a room' but it's just so damn sweet I'm like awww I can feel the love, sorry to intrude
As a new viewer I stand in solidarity with the old guard.
This looks absolutely amazing. Would you consider doing something like this for each new faction release through 9th? Your sandcron scheme is really simple and effective, and this looks similar. For a decidedly poor painter like me, the relatively low level of detailed highlight type techniques really makes these schemes accessible. Really looking forward to trying this out.
If ever you think to you self “do people like my little jokes I say here and there, should I keep doing them?” The answer is a resounding YES. Great video.
I really enjoy your videos, I wish these were around when I was first getting into painting 5 years ago or so.
I also really enjoy the videos you make with Penny. My wife and I enjoy watching together when she's on, we like to see nerd couples doing nerd stuff together. It's awesome.
Man Warhammer 40K: Space Marine was such a good game, and to think they had 2 sequels planned which were scrapped as the studios had to close down. Such a shame no-one else has picked up on a game like that yet :(
Sick and tired of 40k cash grabs, I want another genuine and passionate 40k third person shooter...
good news
Hehehe

Black gesso or Vallejo brush-on primer. Time saved with rattle cans is negligible, considering you'll have to go in with a brush after spraying anyways, to catch all the spots left out.
I've had a basic airbrush for about 6 months and it's great, never having to use a rattle primer ever again was well worth the £80.
Steve H I got an airbrush for Christmas but I haven't even touched it yet as I can find any tutorials that show just how to set it up, explaining what psi is, how to thin paints, how to clean it, etc so it's just sat on my shelf waiting to be used
I just started this hobby a couple days ago and I have been looking at videos constantly to help myself improve. Little did I know, the most helpful video I could find was a SPEED PAINTING video. Subscriber well earned, and thank you for these amazing tips 👏
Wow....In an hour? That...actually looks really good!
Just focus and try to forget Sicarius exists for a few precious minutes...
Honestly though, this paint job is really great, I've always like it when people take the Ultramarines and don't treat them as the perfect, pristine poster boys of the Imperium (a la Space Marine, as you mentioned, and the book Know No Fear)
He posted this right after I finished my first ever models which were space marines😂😂
Many a Warhammer nerd got their start that way, good luck friend.
This is absolutely one of my favorite Ultramarines that I’ve ever seen and it didn’t even take that long!
I've been in this hobby for 25 years and never have I seen an ultramarine I liked.....until now. Thanks Guy for ruining my hatred of smurfs.
Great job as always
Guy 1 hour later: Completes a really nice ultramarine.
Me 1 hour later: I think I got most of the blue base coat on
Preach! 😂
I'm glad I'm not the only one. When he is at the 23 min mark, that is where I would be at the two hour mark. I am like OK cool that's done enough for a generic foot trooper. When he has an expert pro painted model after an hour for a peon foot trooper, that is where I would be after about 5 hours putting that much detail on my chapter master.
Which blue did you use? I'm trying to follow this tutorial and I purchased the army painter ultramarine blue that you wrote in the description and it looks nothing at all alike :( Followed instructions to a T.
UPDATE: For other newbies out there looking to replicate this tutorial the answer is Vallejo Model Colour Medium Blue (70.963). I ended up purchasing the other two from the description, Vallejo and Citadel Calgar Blue. The Calgar blue and Ultramarine blue from army painter are both very pastel in appearance, while the vallejo is much more vibrant and deeper and looks to be what guy uses in this tutorial. I did a test on some Hot wheels cars and the Vallejo definitely looks to be the one used here. Also a mistake I made with my marines was to apply the wash too soon after applying the blue coats. Even though I thought they were dry, they still must have been soft in some places as the wash reactivated the blue in certain areas and resulted in nasty looking white spots. So maybe wait a while before you put the wash on and you should be fine :)
Thanks for your updates, did you finish the tutorial ?
@@tokyojapan6295 I'm stalled on it because they're the wrong blue lol. I'm up to the decal stage and I'm torn between stripping them and starting again with the Vallejo, or just commiting to what I've already done as they're my first minis in like 20 years :s
Been keeping my mind off the problem with 3d printing random sci fi units to practice painting on lol.
Thanks. I used to be into painting miniatures when I was a kid and wasn't great, I never got any advice from anyone regarding painting. I'm twenty five now and I'm considering getting back into this hobby x
I don't collect or paint minis, but i love the process of a great artist. Its all a boring grey colour and this guy paints models that pop out and look interesting
Can you do some dnd mini tutorial good vid keep doing what you do:)
Ahh yes ultramarines *Cato sicariucs flashbacks intensify *
I CAST FIST
I Cato Sicarius, am the most grimdark ultramarine
I watch this as i work on my Dark Angels army. Keep up the great work Guy! Love the content
This is disgustingly good talent. I used to do some of these as a kid. It really makes me want to try it again. But you glance over so many easily missed skills that you take for granted. Paint thinning method for example. Very envious of your ability.
I don’t know shit about War Hammer or painting miniature figures, but somehow I ended up here
are you painting minis yet?
Welcome, brother.
Question on the blue: description says Calgar Blue, but this looks a lot lighter than in the video, and is also a layer paint. Should a base like Macragge be used instead?
I have the same question, how did you do ?
@@tokyojapan6295 Mine looked terrible! I'm fairly new to this though so it might just have been me. Ended up stripping them down and doing a more basic paint job, but I might try again soon.
@@RTotaleXVII someone in another post say the blue used was vallejo one.
@@tokyojapan6295 Cool, I've got some of that now - cheers!
I love how calm, relaxing and inspiring all your painting tutorials are!
Refreshing take on painting minis and i like the basic approach to the colours insted of always having the specific citadel shade
I much prefer you saying "light blue" or generic colour names. Instead of giving us a list of weird GW names of paints I definitely won't have
They are cool, but not only do they get hard to remember, but also as has been said in a different video by Mid Winter, they are not always the easiest to know what color they actually are just based on the name.
In my experience of GW videos, lots of comments ask for specific paint names so they can copy, instead of learning technique and theory then applying their own colors. Xp
Don’t dis my Incubi Darkness themed army or they’ll blast you with Sotek Green lasers!
Midwinter: "Apply a black base coat"
Me: "No problem"
Midwinter: "break down the brown with water"
Me: ...
That might be the best speed paint ultramarine I've ever seen even at 1hr pr model.
Very inspiring and refreshing tutorial, comparing it to a much brighter Ultramarines color schemes.
I feel so dumb I’ve been putting the omega transfer upside down. Luckily I’ve only done two so far
To be fair, that is the original omega :D . The ultramarines use it upside down.
I deliberately put them the "wrong" side up, as I play the Omegamarines and Omagon is there boss
@@ceowulf69 That's actually brilliant.
Hi, question for you. Is the paint you used the first one on your list (with options after)?
I used ultramarine blue, which doesn’t look great
That's what i assume he did. I did the same thing as you and mine look nothing like his in color. I bought the Medium Blue paint that he has listed and it does have a teal like color to it
After seeing a lot of guides, this is the one I liked the most.
I need hour 2 1/2 - 3 hours for one miniature....but some of the techniques u used already brought me down to 2 hours already, nice video!
I’ve been working on 1500ish points of space marines since like May. Jealous of this speed
yeah, exactly my thoughts xD when I am done with the base colors, I sually have spent two hours on them alone already ^^ and the finishend model doesn't look anything nearly as impressive -.-
Just take your time and do the best you can because he has probably thousands of models painted by himself
You could have been a surgeon with that pulse, but here you are, painting miniatures for TH-cam views. Just Beautiful
Micro sol/set is so good for decal work. Lasts forever so worth getting
Man I can't stay still after watching your videos because I get this urge to get preparations done, prime and paint my first mini once and for all.
Although I'll have to wait until sunday or monday for humidity to be low enough. Subtropical climate can be a pain in the ass.
Definitely gonna follow this for painting my first set of models. Thank you so much!
Nice, I love how grimdark it is.
Guy, your videos have been a huge help in me getting back into the hobby! Thank you so much for making everything feel so fun and approachable.
Hoping to really improve in the coming years. Your ~20 minute speed painting looks infinitely better than something a spend hours on
I keep coming back to this tutorial. Just the right amount of detail on a quick n' dirty paint job and it looks brilliant.
I'm watching this video for the fourth time. If the Astartes come out so perfect in your speed painting I wonder how awesome must they look when you're "doing it right".
Awesome work Guy. Love your honest approach to ‘getting it done’ and it’s something anyone can follow along and still learn from! 👌🏻
I like the video, since it's really insightful for beginners but what I love is the super useful paints and tools list and their alternatives in the description - thanks, really helpful
The way you get some results with a pair of touchs with the brush is almost outrageous.
The dirt on the boots alone makes it look so much more realistic, incredible
Awesome! I'm relatively new to model painting and more into D&D than Warhammer, but watching and practicing some of the stuff you do has really helped me step up my painting game.
This is one my favorite vids from your channel as I play ultramarines
After watching a total of like, 15 of these, I gotta say. Watching pros paint miniatures like these, ahs to be one of the most satisfying, and calming experiences I've had in my life. Great work!
Dayum sun! Those look whickhad!! I love it.
Its been 43 years since I painted a model and decided to paint WH figures. Your video has been really helpful. I will be trying this soon. Thanks
Just got the Recruit-box with some Necrons and Space Marines. Definately gonna follow this guide, looks really gritty and great. Thanks!
This painting tutorial is MUCH better then official ones
I love the work with the sponge. It gives the armour a dirty, battle worn look that fits perfectly with dirt of the boots in the end. I wanted to paint my marines in Dark Angels scheme, so thanks a lot for this awesome tutorial.
I just really like this video, the story, the music, the style. Thanks for making it.
Tried the paint, wash, sponge technique on an Imperial fist, and I really love it. Thanks for making this
Good stuff! I love seeing variations in style for these. I've really never done the Grimdark yet and I'm slowly working my way there
I find myself returning to this video over and over. As I get better I always find something new to try. Thank you!
Smurfs need those participation medals.
watching this gave me the confidence to finally start painting thank you for this wonder step by step detail
