Thanks! I am personally moving away from the GW paints as well, because the pots just keep drying out. :( On the other hand they are the most accessible for beginners and that's who I make the videos for. :)
I’m new to painting Warhammer and want to start my first army with the Mechanicus, how easy would it be to replicate a scheme like this to the rest of the army? And tips and tricks would be much appreciated
It's pretty easy, but for the smaller models, I would leave out some steps. I wouldn't bother with picking out little metallic details, just drybrush it all one colour. That will save you a lot of time with the little guys and you won't see the difference really. Learning to paint with enamels is a bit more of an advanced skill and I would wait with those steps until you are comfortable with painting a few models first. Welcome to the hobby and good luck!
I think it could have also looked good if you held off on the dry brushing of the bottom of the robe until after the wash on the texture paste and then dry brushed both the bottom of the robe and the base with more of the orange you used earlier.
Yeah, this is usually done so that both blend in better. I was just afraid I would make the base too light coloured and draw attention away from the mini.
sorry but im a brand new beginner. did you literally just spray paint the entire mini black with an airbrush before starting? Does this basic concept of spraying with black primer apply to all figures one paints?
More or less, let me.explain. You need to use a primer to spray the miniature before you start painting. This primer sticks better to the smooth plastic than the regular paints. You don't need an airbrush though, you can get this primer in a spray can from Games Workshop. It also doesn't have to be black. It could be white, grey, bone and other colours too. In this case I used black because I want a darker looking miniature. If I wanted a lighter coloured mini I would probably start with white. For other minis I use contrast paints and those are best used on a contrast primer. Feel free to ask more questions if something isn't clear!
@@FogOfGore Thanks for the write up, it definitely answered my question! And also thanks for making your videos the way you do. There are tons of 40k paint youtubers on here, but 99% of them have unnecessary, quirky, cheesy, side commentary or just do things in a convoluted way. But you talk straight to the point and explain all the colors and techniques very clearly, It's very refreshing. And also, could you recommend me a good set of brushes for painting my admech army?
Thanks for all the compliments! Regarding brushes, you have 2 options. Go for super cheap brushes that cost 30 cents per brush from a local painting/hobby store. They will lose their shape very quickly, but they are so cheap that you can just replace them. If you want something better, then I would go much better. I use Rosemary and Co. Kolinsky Sabel brushes, but Windsor and Newton are good too. I would definitely not get Games Workshop, because they are pretty expensive for the quality you get.
I really like it! One critical point imho is that for the real Blanchitsu experience, you should´ve kicked the red up a notch or two. And with some yellow dusting for more accents. But thats my view anyway. Nice to see another video from you!
Thanks! I was looking back and forth at the artwork and was so torn between getting closer to his colours or sticking with a more muted tone. In the end I just decided to go with what I prefer myself 😀

Fantastic paint job, the sickly skin tone on the hand weirdly is what really sells the rest of the look.
Nice you discuss the actual colors used rather than just mentioning brand names. Really helps for those of us who do not use GW paints.

@@FogOfGore Yes, but at some point they have to start learning about colors too 😛
Absolutely!
You deserve more followers !! Nice job, really good exemple to do 👍🏻
Thank you so much 😀
Honestly, this is my favourite Mechanicus paint job I've seen to date, this video should have a lot more views
