Amen Brother! I have roommates that are extremely sensitive to airborne particles due to asthma so anything involving rattle cans and airbrushes are pretty much no go. So I am stuck with hand priming>>>>Brushing only; which is why I subscribed to this channel due to classic painting tips and straight forwardness/short content :D
My father introduced me to Warhammer many years ago and ive recently rediscovered my interest in the hobby, especially with painting. There are a lot of great tutorials out here that help a ton, and your videos especially are great at breaking it down step by step. It doesnt hurt your case that youre covering some of my favourite models (Guilleman and Thraka) keep up the great work :)
I just painted this....that was miserable. I never want to paint another model like this again. Thank you for giving me a video to reference. That was absolute hell.
Thanks a lot for making this video! I followed your guide pretty closely, and really surprised myself with how well Guilliman turned out. I've only been painting models for a few months now, and this one looks like it belongs in a display case!
I've got him for my birthday and you gave me the last puzzle piece i needed to know to get this legendary good on the battlefield. Thank you very very much
Man what an absolutely stellar job!!! I look at big g man every time I’m in games workshop but I don’t think I’m good enough to do him justice yet I actually just picked up Calgar and the ventrix guards and I put them down and I was like I have 15 other models to paint, I’m painting them first before I get to old Marneus
Thank you so much! He was a beast - all you need is a little patience- hopefully the video helps! And good luck with the others - the vid should help with those too haha
@@ThePaintingCoach Thanks mate. Not painted since my teens, I'm 40 now and find it's a nice way to just get some peace. I'll have to find a way of showing it to you when I'm done :D
I had a blast painting mine but I took some pleasure in hearing another painter moan a bit about the gold. I used Vallejo old goldbwith the alchohol base. That was well worth the effort and learning curve of working with that paint.
I commented on this before. I finally thought my skill was good enough to do justice on gulliman and jeeze what an under taking. I painted the leg with the ultramarine symbol on the knee last night and it took me 5 1/2 hours. Looks good though, watching this again while painting
Great tutorial. I am no amazing painter but I wanted my Guilliman to look good as a centre piece. Followed along with this video and OMG I am amazed at how it ended up looking. Top quality video that shows how to make great looking models! I will be using the techniques you have shown on other models going forwards!
I'm not a big fan of the contrast paints but wow that was incredible what you did with the sword, you have single Handedly changed my mind. I will definitely give it a look now. Incredible work just incredible 👏
Thanks for leaving a comment and thank you for the kind words! Contrast definitely have a role to play - you can also check out how I did the bio-transfusion on Illuminor Szeras. I won't use them on space marine armour (apart from Death Guard) but they are great for anything with a bit of texture!
Just starting painting and I chose ultramarines. I'm thinking I'll paint this as my final figure in my army. Looks great and I hope mine will look as good!
Brilliant! Just got mine today and put it together. I've watched this tutorial many times to memorize the steps and techniques used. So satisfying to watch a work of art.
all those gold squiggles on the big G's armor is a nightmare! I suggest a cup of earl grey and soothing music lol. great job man. I'd like to see someone do this in contrast with mccrag and retributer for highlights
Very good tutorial! One of the best out there, not counting those of Saint Duncan BUT! I have the impression like half of the tutorial is using traditional paint methods and the other half (from the head and so on) uses mostly contrast paints. It may only just be my feeling since I am traditionalist and don't get along with contrast paints so well but overall it's still job well done - thank You sir!
Loved your Guilliman, looks amazing and was easy to follow. My only personal gripe was the sword. I just can't make it look right. I don't like how it looks on yours either, although it's just my personal preference. I think it just needs something else.
Thanks for the feedback - I'd do it with an airbrush id I was just painting the model - my challenge is making the vids as accesible as possible for anyone!

so im super new to the hobby but just picked up g man. ive painted like 6 ultramarines so far, very mediocrely i might add, so probably gonna start guilliman next nothing builds confidence like failure!
Thanks for the comment Luke, I appreciate it! I would always encourage you to have a go - just break it down into small chunks and do a little at a time - accept that the model is frustrating and embrace it haha! Once you get past the gold, it's really straight forward
Try this one John th-cam.com/video/3QeJWKIWWgs/w-d-xo.html I show you how to do vials - you can just change up the colours - so for green we would use warp lightning and dark angels green - blue would be talassar blue and leviadon blue etc
super cool model you made there. a lot of gold 🙈 thx for the vid 🤘🤘🤘 since my black legion i prefer the variant, retributor armor, then liberator gold, with agrax earthshade once or twice over it and finally here and there the edges here and there with some stormhost silver highlights here and there. somehow gives a cool dirty and worn effect. robute comes with the Imperium subscription. But since I'm a passionate Blood Angels player, I'm going to craft a showcase diorama with him and the first three marines. all four models miss nicely worn armor. sort of grim dark Blood Angels. let's see if that will work with blue too. again a lot of tweezers swam work.
@@ThePaintingCoach Ill see what I can do! My local store just opened up again so I have to head over and see what paint they have. Might have to do it in stages and give updates like that.
I'd like to see power swords with a mixture from the generator up to the tip in shades of controlled heat. As if the inside was filled with a hurricane of fire,not flames like this but glowing heat and fire ....As hot as hell ! Great lesson in the art of miniature painting. Do you prefer the new larger figers or the old sizes.
Thank you for your kind words - that sounds like a chaos type sword - if I paint one in the future I will try to make sure I paint it like that! I prefer the larger minis - but more because the quality of the sculpt is so much better
Thanks - no I didn't I'm afraid - but my personal favourite varnish to use is Tamiya Clear (comes in pots or spray cans, with matt, semi-gloss and gloss).
@@ThePaintingCoach ok great! Every time I use varnish it fades the highlights out. So was thinking I wouldn’t varnish this one but don’t want the painting running off overtime.. 😬 is that something you have noticed with yours if you don’t varnish? Or is varnishing not really necessary ?
I don't play, so I am not handling them all the time - eubbing paint off can be a risk - but remember, varnish is just another layer of paint - it will also rub off over time. Different varnishes will do different things - the best advice I'd give to test this out is paint three spare parts exactly the same and put a different type of varnish on each one to fond out what effect you like the most 👍🏻
Just got my Guilliman, I feel I’m going to know this video well over the next days and weeks. What do you think about the alternative technique of undercoating him with gold rather than blue?
Just finished my Guilliman using your steps and it came out so good!........for me haha Thanks again for this stellar tutorial! I decided to magnetize the two head options so I could always swap when I felt like it.
I feel your pain painting this as I just finished mine about 2 weeks ago. I followed the GW recommended way of spraying it gold first then painting in the blue panels as that's supposed to be easier. In truth it is still extremely difficult not to mess it up that way as well. After painting this though every model looks so much easier now!
im follwoing your guide and really like the way you put them together. i was wondering if you do more long form videos, and do you have some basing videos for gulliman? great work
Hi Matt - glad you like it - check my channel page - I have over 100! I haven't done one on Guilliman's base but I have done a few other types that might inspire you!
@@ThePaintingCoach ive been working through some of yours, the rtaven guard was really helpful and the brush choice video was really interesting.. ill have to pay closer attention; there is anotehr tutorial guy that i follow that does tutorials that are like 3 hours long, he doesnt do too many cuts; theyre really relaxing to watch. anyways, back to trying to die from the detail on this model ;)
The techniques on this guy are the same as a standard ultramatmarine - there is just a whole lot extra gold so if you're going to practice, focus on brush control 👍🏻
I just got Guilliman and I am wondering if you were to do this again is there anything you would have done differently? And I am curious about why you didn’t paint the arms and legs in sub-assemblies?
I hate piece 23 of this minature. Just picked it up, and it just does not want to work with me, lol. Awesome tutorial. Can't wait till I get to the point where I can start painting it.
Just got mine, can’t wait to paint. Your guide is great. Is there a reason you went with basing in blue and doing the gold detail instead of basing in gold and doing the blue detail? I’ve seen both methods and not sure which to try.
Thanks for the amazing guide. Just started this guy today and following this. Did you have to go over with anymore mcgragge blue after your washed with nightshade?
Oh i got a question too. The clay on which you place the seperate pieces, what is it and where can I get it? And how did you place his body on the small base and get it off again? Im really scared that i brake this
Have you got any tips for getting the retributor armor gold on all the fine details? I'm finding it very difficult to get all the little gold swirls looking good without going over the macragge blue I've already painted. And any tips for touching up the mistakes once I'm finished with all the gold? I'm a bit worried the paint will end up being too thick on the model. I have been thinning the paints. This is my first time painting a mini so I may have jumped in at the deep end.. 😅
You certainly have gone big rather than home 🤣 it's really easy to touch up the macragge blue if you do make a mistake Otherwise try and get a good point on your brush and where you can, pull across the raised edges of the model
Warhammer TV has a full video on that, if you need it. I am glad there is now also a tutorial for Roboute Guilliman, because I have both of them in my pile of shame.
@@kamtschatkas I have them both, I have a second guilliman that I've been planning on using for a diorama for him and abaddon. I just need the second abaddon. But I love his style of tutorial, and the emperors sword looks so badass compared to the GW version
@@ThePaintingCoach thank you! There is a fantastic tutorial called 'Making Howls Moving Castle out of trash ' or similar and he has some great dry brushing cheats that could be used for mass producing space marine armies. Combining your intricate detail talent with mass production would be great if you made a video of acceptable quality but large outut. Thank you!
Yo - just getting into painting after a looooooong hiatus. Great video, I've got this dude ready as my next project. I use GW brushes but I can never keep them on point, what brushes do you use/recommend? Thanks
Welcome back to the hobby! I use Winsor and Newton series 7, size 1 and 0 - I think there is a link in the description - i use a red grass games synthetic brush for metals Good luck with the project!
@@ThePaintingCoach what I mean is that I just would of used a smaller brush for the calgar blue and not covered the darker blue as much and the same with the gold highlight but I understand that you have your own style.
Oh my god this is amazing great job love this channel by the way right know I’m painting Chadian shock Troops think you could do something on them if not that okay love the channle
You can use normal paints, such as Iyanden Yellow, Flash Gitz Yellow, Evil Sunz Scarlet and Black, you'll just have to work at getting the transitions either through wet blending or by using glazes 👍🏻
It's a zenithal prime that, on reflection you don't really need - I like it here as it makes coverage a bit easier. Generally you would prime like this to identify where the light falls and where your highlights would be
Cool thank you mate! Last question 😬, you say there’s a link to how you painted the base but I can’t seem to find that video. Have you got a link to it?
So I am just getting into miniature painting, and am having some difficulty thinning paints to the right consistency. What do you recommend for the right ratio?
Thanks for the comment! In general with normal paint it's 2 parts paint to one part water. I use only a tiny bit with metallics. I also use a wet palette that helps keep the paint hydrated. I'll do a video on how I thin my paint soon so keep an eye out One other tip is to make sure you don't have too much paint on your brush
How amazing this is aside. It's just bloody refreshing to see someone who still paints with a brush these days.
Thank you for the kind words!
@@ThePaintingCoach you're welcome.
What does everyone else paint with?
Think it's reference to use of airbrushes 👍🏻

Sorry to bother you again, but would it change the effect if I used Nuln Oil instead of Drakenhof Nightshade for the blue armor?
No problem - only slightly - might be a bit darker
I hate piece 23 of this minature. Just picked it up, and it just does not want to work with me, lol. Awesome tutorial. Can't wait till I get to the point where I can start painting it.
Cheers - I have to say I have no idea what part 23 is 🤣
I’ve got everything else to where I’m completely satisfied but I can’t seem to get his eyes right I’ve done them at least 5 times
Just got mine, can’t wait to paint. Your guide is great.
Is there a reason you went with basing in blue and doing the gold detail instead of basing in gold and doing the blue detail? I’ve seen both methods and not sure which to try.
Thanks for the comment! I thought it would be faster - in reality they are probably the same!
@@ThePaintingCoach cheers for the reply, I’ll stick to your way then. See how it goes
No problem 👍🏻
Thanks for the amazing guide. Just started this guy today and following this. Did you have to go over with anymore mcgragge blue after your washed with nightshade?
Thanks Mark! I honestly can't remember, but gut says I did in places!
Oh i got a question too. The clay on which you place the seperate pieces, what is it and where can I get it? And how did you place his body on the small base and get it off again? Im really scared that i brake this
It's modelling putty - you should be able to get it ar hobby stores or amazon - mine came with the redgrass games handle
Thank you very much again
No problem!
Have you got any tips for getting the retributor armor gold on all the fine details? I'm finding it very difficult to get all the little gold swirls looking good without going over the macragge blue I've already painted. And any tips for touching up the mistakes once I'm finished with all the gold? I'm a bit worried the paint will end up being too thick on the model. I have been thinning the paints. This is my first time painting a mini so I may have jumped in at the deep end.. 😅
You certainly have gone big rather than home 🤣 it's really easy to touch up the macragge blue if you do make a mistake
Otherwise try and get a good point on your brush and where you can, pull across the raised edges of the model
Great! Thanks for reminding me about mine ... 😓
Hey at least you can follow a painting guide now haha
I hope you do abaddon next, that'd be great to see you do
Warhammer TV has a full video on that, if you need it. I am glad there is now also a tutorial for Roboute Guilliman, because I have both of them in my pile of shame.
Thanks! I have the model here - and will definitely get round to him soon!
@@kamtschatkas I have them both, I have a second guilliman that I've been planning on using for a diorama for him and abaddon. I just need the second abaddon. But I love his style of tutorial, and the emperors sword looks so badass compared to the GW version
@@ThePaintingCoach I can't wait to see what you cook up for him
It will be done soonish - next few weeks!
Dear Sir,
If you can put a ratio to it, how Water to Acrylic is your Macragge Blue ratio please? Water:Paint
Probably 1 part water to 2 parts paint
@@ThePaintingCoach thank you!
There is a fantastic tutorial called 'Making Howls Moving Castle out of trash ' or similar and he has some great dry brushing cheats that could be used for mass producing space marine armies.
Combining your intricate detail talent with mass production would be great if you made a video of acceptable quality but large outut.
Thank you!
Yo - just getting into painting after a looooooong hiatus. Great video, I've got this dude ready as my next project. I use GW brushes but I can never keep them on point, what brushes do you use/recommend? Thanks
Welcome back to the hobby! I use Winsor and Newton series 7, size 1 and 0 - I think there is a link in the description - i use a red grass games synthetic brush for metals
Good luck with the project!
@@ThePaintingCoach Legend, thankyou x
Rowboat Girlyman!
hmm is it good or bad that ik that I can paint better? I still like the outcome though.
I'm not sure I understand the comment - but if you can paint better that's great!
@@ThePaintingCoach what I mean is that I just would of used a smaller brush for the calgar blue and not covered the darker blue as much and the same with the gold highlight but I understand that you have your own style.
Cool!
Oh my god this is amazing great job love this channel by the way right know I’m painting Chadian shock Troops think you could do something on them if not that okay love the channle
Cheers Jason! If I was painting them in normal cadian colours, I'd honestly use all contrast for the rank and file
Would Averland Sunset work for Guilliman's hair?
Hmm, it might be too yellow, but you could mix in a bone colour and then highlight it with a bone colour like ushabti bone
@@ThePaintingCoach Thank you. I ask because that's the only real yellow I have on hand, heh.
amazing job... i wish i was that good at using a paintbrush... i am rather rough and unskilled with it ..
do you have an etsy store ?
Thanks glad you liked it! I don't have an etsy store- I occasionally put stuff on ebay though 👍🏻
thanks for the reply
can you send the link ^^"
@@Jayko30 www.ebay.co.uk/usr/paintingcoach
any chance we can get an Emperor's Spears tutorial?
Thanks for the comment Dan - no promises - i'll add them to the list though!
Good guide. How best to do the sword if you don’t like contrast paints?
You can use normal paints, such as Iyanden Yellow, Flash Gitz Yellow, Evil Sunz Scarlet and Black, you'll just have to work at getting the transitions either through wet blending or by using glazes 👍🏻
Thanks!
Hey mate, just wondering, why the several colours of spray? As in, why black then white?
It's a zenithal prime that, on reflection you don't really need - I like it here as it makes coverage a bit easier.
Generally you would prime like this to identify where the light falls and where your highlights would be
Ah ok thanks for the explanation! And also, did you not use macragge spray so you could demonstrate painting with macragge instead?
Yes pretty much 👍🏻
Cool thank you mate! Last question 😬, you say there’s a link to how you painted the base but I can’t seem to find that video. Have you got a link to it?
th-cam.com/video/Ftd_KACLK40/w-d-xo.html this one maybe
So I am just getting into miniature painting, and am having some difficulty thinning paints to the right consistency. What do you recommend for the right ratio?
I would like this info aswell
Thanks for the comment! In general with normal paint it's 2 parts paint to one part water. I use only a tiny bit with metallics.
I also use a wet palette that helps keep the paint hydrated. I'll do a video on how I thin my paint soon so keep an eye out
One other tip is to make sure you don't have too much paint on your brush
The Painting Coach thank you so much! Wow I didn’t expect you would respond so quickly, thanks a million!
No problem - happy to help!
how do you attach him to the base on your painting handle?
Some modelling putty or blu-tac will work fine
