Thanks again everyone, I hope the guide is helpful. Let me know which of the 5 you would pick to start your army or let me know what models you would like to see a painting guide for next time around 😀🥳
I would love to see your take on different ways to paint Space Wolves. Whether grey or blue. There’s lots of room for artistic inspiration.
Thanks!
Would you be able to link all the paints you used for your grimdark version?
Hey,
I think all of the paints for the armour are in the video. Outside of those;
Symbols: it’s just bone and off whites with a sepia wash.
Bolter: dark blue greys like eshin then a few highlights with lighter variants. Then the wash then nurgling green for some scratches.
Eyes: same Vallejo fluro green.
I think that’s everything 🤔
@Flashing Badger Painting thank you so much. I love the way you did the grim dark look. It is by far my favorite paint job I have seen! I'm am fairly new at painting, but I am going to do my best to replicate what you have done. Lol, I really hope they turn out half as good as yours. I am also having trouble trying to figure out how to do my blood angel librarian like that, so if you would have any pointers on how you would do the librarian, that would be great!
me personally, I adore the grim dark style. It adds a sense of realism to the whole army. That is definitely how im going to start me first BA army
Awesome! Thanks so much for the feedback. Good news, if you are interested I continue with some videos where I have started my own Blood Angels army in the grim dark style.
A video is already up where I paint a squad of Inceptors and another comes out within 24hrs where I’ve painted an Apothecary in Grim Dark White 😀
That would be sick, it'd definitly give me some tips, and inspiration to work with@@flashingbadgerpainting
aye grim dark look is nice I think ill paint my blood angels like this, thanks for the tips
No worries at all. I have a few extra videos including one that comes out this weekend where I start to paint my own Blood Angels army in this scheme. You might like to check out how they turned out 👍 so far I have inceptors, dreadnought, a jump captain and apothecary
Black pauldron trim & golden aquila is the way to go!
🤘
I tend to do the Contrast method over a zenithal highlight with a black base to retain natural shadows. Great video!
Cool idea! Thanks so much, it was fun to make 😀
Been painting Blood Angels since late 7th. I go with a heavily weathered candied apple red paint scheme. TMM golds (Vallejo Liquid Gold) and a silver (Vallejo Metal Color silver) zenithal then transparent red (Tamiya X-27) over them.
That’s sounds awesome! Do you have pics on Instagram or similar that we can check out?
Getting back into the hobby after a year-long hiatus, this video was incredibly helpful in getting some of the rust off prematurely, in addition to being a really fun and well-made video in its own right. Love your channel so far and looking forward to your future videos
First up, welcome back! What modes are you working on? If you have Instagram let me know and I’ll follow your journey 😀Thanks so much for the kind words 😀
Just starting my blood angels army from being a die hard ultramarines fan for the last few years… this is exactly what I wanted to find when starting a few weeks back. Great video, thank you!
Hey thanks so much for the feedback 😀 I
Might have to start a BA journey with you!
I think I may end up starting a blood angels successor chapter in the eavy metal style
Awesome! Will look great as a force
Starting a BA army and just appreciate showing the various styles side by side at the end. Love it! The Trovarion GD method is what Im doing as well!
Awesome! Have fun with the painting journey, I’ll post some more of my BA adventures over the next month or so.
Would love to see you do this with Space Wolves
Hey thanks for letting me know. I have a space wolf sitting on my shelf in my to do list. Watching me. Judging me.
This video saved me
And your comment has made my day 😀👍
I haven't played in about 10 years but I still have a blood angels army that's been unpainted this whole time. Thinking of getting some paints and giving it a go soon and the last one is definitely my favourite so will be coming back to this video when I get to it
So cool! Yeah definitely find time to paint them 😀
A man after my own heart. Thank you sir ❤
No worries! Hope it was helpful!
Awesome guide mate! Some day ill get good at painting minis! I could totally see myself making something cool with that grimdark one, love the look!
Hey! Thanks man. I was intimidated by it at first but it ends up being easier than expected. Give it a shot and I bet you’ll like how it turns out.
Im defintely going to attempt how you approached grim dark albeit a bit different with the paints i have at hand (ive bought too many paints lmao) thanks for giving me a different path in how i take my painting especially for my blood angels which are my utmost fave!
Awesome! No worries at all 😀 yep it’s convinced me to start a blood angels army 😀
Well thanks for this, I'm going to try the grim dark one on my khorne daemons, just about to watch the OG video too
Awesome thanks for the feedback. Would look unreal for Khorne. Let me know how you go!
This is a great tutorial, thanks!
Thanks so much and no worries, glad it was helpful 😀
I they look great as a group. Mixing techniques makes for a visually interesting bunch of Marines.
Thanks so much! Yeah they make a cool mix match bundle of a squad 🙂
I prefer zenithal over the other. I also like the green eyes. Do White Scars next.
Thanks! Yeah white scars would be fun to paint up as well
This is incredible! Would love to see you do this with the angels sanguine chapter.
Thanks! 😀
Nice, ive got all of those contrasts, firstborn blood angels, here we go!
Unreal! Enjoy 😀
I love the FBP style. Came out amazing! Id love to see take on halved or even quartered space marine colour schemes and what the best way to tackle them.
Thanks so much and great idea! I did have something similar penciled in. I think I have a concept that might work 🤔 watch this space.
@@flashingbadgerpainting Awesome! Feel free to have a crack at my Black Swords Space Marine chapter if you want too (Half Black/Half White)
As someone that has the entire Citadel range, dozens of Vallejo Model Game and Metal Color, almost 200 Pro Acryl and a few random others, picking color schemes is THE most difficult thing for me. I realy screwed myself with analysi paralysis by having so many.
Yeah I can appreciate that frustration. I hope the guide has helped and for me at least I try to convince myself just to look at the bottom of the paint pots to see colours and not worry about names or brands and then just back myself and put paint to model. 👍
I'd be perfectly happy with the contrast method, love that bright punchy 90's red
Yeah there’s something cool about that 90s feeling. It’s pretty much how mine looked as a kid 😅
That last mini is soooooooo dope. All are really cool but the last two are really awesome
Hey thanks so much. I’m about to start my journey with the Blood Angels army and I’ll paint them like the last mini. Would you be interested if I make some videos about painting them?
I sure will watch them
Maaaan all these look really good!! but I have to say that GD version is Fire!! Iam actually getting back to blood angels and I am considering adapting this Method! Thanks man and Subbed :)
Amazing! Glad to have you onboard for the journey 😀
You’ll discover on the channel that I’ve started capturing my building and painting in the GD scheme for a whole BA army. So you’ll probably enjoy those videos.
Annnnnnd if you are still hooked, you can even jump into our discord to show off your progress pics and get some extra tips from the amazing painters in there.
Your edits trovorians grimdark is awesome and I’m going to try it
Awesome thanks! Let me know how you go with it 😀
Love the final model. Really cool.
Thanks! Good news, I’ve just finished filming/painting a whole different kind of squad like that with a few extra elements. So that video will be coming soon 😀
@@flashingbadgerpainting I'm looking forward to it.
@@flashingbadgerpainting are you on Facebook? I'd love to send you some of mine.
dude you have mad skills!!!! I am wanting to start a blood angel army but dont want it to be the typical paint scheme. I loved the number 5 painting.i am wondering if a blood angel army could have like 2 different main colors. but yeah you have motivated me to see about getting into blood angels.
Unreal! I’m glass this has helped. Yeah for sure they could have 2 different main colours. As long as the bases are the same I think they would tie together well.
Because of Death Company and Sanguinary guard we already see other dominant colours on squads so I think you would be fine 👍
Super video mate. I'd also add a 6th - red spray base coat, black, gold, silver, eyes, wash. Done.
Nice! Thanks for the feedback as well 😀
Great comparison of different painting styles! The Baal Red contrast gives off an oldschool bright red 1990s vibe since the colour is so opaque. I was checking the contrast paint comparison video by Sword 'n' Steele for other reds, Blood Angels Red seems really thin in comparison and not great as a basecoat, it just seems like a red tint... Fleshtearers Red seems like a good alternative if going for a more "realistic" red. My biggest problem with the contrast method is that if you make a mistake later it can be harder to fix the red!
Thanks so much for the feedback and also for the advice on the other contrast reds 😀
Glad you liked it and let me know if there’s something you’d like to see next 😀
Thank you for making my decision for me! I've been struggling since I got my Leviathan box which chapter I'd paint up, I've been back and forth from Blood Angels and Ultramarines and this is just what I needed. Love the video! Now then... Hive Fleet Leviathan, or Behemoth? 😅
Amazing! Glad it helped. You’ll be excited to find out that I’ve since documented my journey of painting a blood angels army from scratch and I’m now 5 episodes in. So you might get some ideas or enjoyment from those videos.
Leviathan and Behemoth are both amazing. I have 2 videos up where I paint different hive fleets including these are well a bunch others including some custom ones. Colour wise Leviathan would pair great with Blood Angels and so would a turquoise style one.
@@flashingbadgerpainting I'll check it out!
This is amazing. Just got back into the hobby with a few blood angels kits after over twenty years away (used to be more of a painter than a gamer back in the day) so this is a real game changer. My eyes are bad these days and I have a bit of a tremble in my hands, but I’m going to have a bloody good crack at it! Cheers!
(Edit: that last one legit looks like a John Blanche painting come to life!)
Amazing! Thanks Steve and more importantly, welcome back to the hobby! 😀 I recently came back from around 20 years removed as well 👍 great way to unwind
@@flashingbadgerpainting I couldn’t agree more - it was always a happy place for me, and I’m really excited about getting them painted up (got the boxed game with the marines from that, plus the combat patrol one… things really have changed since I was last painting with flying hovertanks and loads of different types of marine it seems, so it’s a whole new world all over again, really!).
Thanks again, and all the best!
No worries! For info we have a discord chat where a group of us (most of which are getting back into the hobby) share our work in progress pics and encourage one another. We are painters of all levels with all of us still learning. You’re welcome to join if you’re looking for a place to chill and be encouraged 👍 discord.gg/4Shac4AN
Dude you last one looks GLORIOUS !
Hey thanks so much. I really liked how it came out so I’ve decided I’ll start a Blood Angels force like that. Working on my first squad at the moment. Would you be interested in watching if I film that journey?
@@flashingbadgerpainting I'm beginning my first Space Marines force of Blood Angels too after more than 20 years playing necrons only, so you bet i'd like to see every squad and units you paint ! If I can have a similar effect on my minis my whole army will look great ! (Also I want them to be the ones who fought in the Devastation of Baal so it makes sense they have a lot of battle damages ^^). Please continue that super work !
Unreal! I’ve started filming my first squad tonight 😀
@@flashingbadgerpainting Cool ! Looking forward to see that ! (For Sanguinius !)
@@flashingbadgerpainting Hey mate that's me again ! Could you tell me plz : I intend to do the helmet of my assault teams in yellow like the codex says nut I don't know how to do the same effect you did for the red parts. Any piece of advice would be very welcome ^^
Okay. They ghostly green eyes sold it for me for the grimdark
Awesome! People are divided because they aren’t the classic style of painting lenses but I really like the ghostly green 😀
I'm looking to start a Blood Angels army, and painting has never been my forte. I'm looking for a very specific shade of red on my Marines and I'm trying to figure out a good baseline method to go with. That third method resulted in my absolute favorite model from this video, I _love_ the way that model seems to shine. When I sit down and start practicing on my Marines, I would love to try to figure out how to recreate that style with my potential color schemes.
Unreal 😀 I’m glad to hear when the videos help someone. I’m excited to see how you go with your painting. If you’re on Instagram, you should send me some pics!
Again, best of luck and have fun with it.
@@flashingbadgerpainting Maybe once I get some models painted I'll make an Instagram just for that!
Awesome content mate. I’ve used this for inspiration for my BA army.
Are you Melbourne based?
Hey thanks so much. Yep Melbourne 👍
I prime my blood angels with Vallejo dark green. Then zenithal with white ink, then all over with thin Mephiston red, and just the top with Vallejo bloody red. The green shadows look a lot more interesting than black in my opinion. I then finish with fire orange highlights with a brush.
Oh cool. That sounds ace, I want to see how it looks. Do you have pics on Instagram I can check out?
First I didn't know which red I wanted to use for my marines.. Now I got 5 different ways to paint them. Thank you!!! NOT> i confusion what to do
Haha! Sorry about that. Good luck 😀
@Flashing Badger Painting do you use any Vallejo paints at all ?
Yep. I bought a second hand large set of citadel which is why I have so many of them however whites, bone colours, light browns and yellows I’m using almost all Vallejo at the moment. I also like AK interactive bright colours like magenta.
@Flashing Badger Painting hey babe. Do you think nuln oil works same as black wash from vallejo?
Yep for sure 👍 they will be pretty much identical
Can you please make one of these videos for Dark Angels :)
Nice! The greens would be fun 😀
liquitecks red ink , is that readily available at spotlight im seeing it come up online on ?
I’ve purchased them from my local hobby store or otherwise from Amazon/ebay.
Hi. Great video. Just wondering what red ink did you use. Sorry if I missed it in the video?
Hey thanks so much for the feedback. Apologies, turns out I left the name out. It’s Napthol Crimson from Liquitex. Hope that helps.
@@flashingbadgerpainting thank you. Don’t forget to turn these videos into TH-cam shorts if you haven’t already! Really, once again, thank you for the video and the response.
What unit are these models?
Im starting my blood angels and going to do the Grim Dark scheme! I’ve also ordered vampire heads online so some models that don’t wear helmets will be vampiric with pale grey skin :)
Great idea! These models are the Primaris Intercessors which are a all rounder troop choice.
I’ve also put another video up where I paint and entire squad of jet pack Inceptors in the Grim Dark style which you may enjoy 😀
Best of luck and I’m looking forward to seeing how you go with yours. Vampire heads sound awesome!
The zenithal model (3rd one) how did you panel line the model?
Hey, just with black paint slightly thinned down and a sharp brush. Took my time and wiped away any mistakes. You could also use the technique where you lightly gloss the model and use a specific panel line ink but I prefer the other way 👍
Great job ! Could be cool to see a Grimdark Salamander, because the are no good video on it on internet, most of the time the looks like dark angels or are not either grim or dark sadly :s
Thanks 😀
Great, now I want to paint salamanders 🤣
@@flashingbadgerpainting haha you're welcome 😁!
Which liquitex red ink is it? Napthol or pyrole?
Thank you for the video!
Naphthol Crimson 🙂 sorry I should have included that!
how % of mix between rhino and mephiston red at 20:39 ? thank you in advance
Hey! This was a 50/50 🙂
Paint sime space wolves in the grim dark style you painted the blood angle in
Cool idea!
If I was going to replicate the last scheme for another chapter (Blue Ultramarines) would it still be best to start with Rhinox hide and then mix of Rhinox hide and blue?
Awesome! Yeah I like that idea. Do a single test model first to make sure you are happy with it. I was planning on painting a blue marine soon and figured this is how I was going to approach it as well.
@@flashingbadgerpaintingthank you! I've already started some Blood Angels using the method and really loving the result, but my son wants his own Kill Team as Ultramarines despite me trying to persuade him Blood Angels are cooler! 😂
Haha! Yep one of my boys is the same and my attempts to steer him away from the boys in blue only made him want them more.
Enjoy painting and gaming with him, I look forward to hearing how you go with it or you can send me pics of them on Instagram 👍
what contrast colours for blue/yellow helmets?
Hey, I didn’t dabble in blue or yellow helmets for mine so I’m not sure. There’s a great opaque yellow contrast but I can’t remember the name 😬
I cant wait to strip my army and paint them like #5
I can’t wait to see them! Tag me in on Instagram if you have it so I can see how you go 😀 I just ordered my first box of space marines to start a BA army, so feel free to subscribe if you want to see me paint some more just like #5. 😎
The last one i think yall call it grim dark looks amazing great job brother 💯🫡. New to Wh so waiting for my first couple troops to start painting an hopefully get into the game itself. Look forward to seeing your other vids
Unreal thanks mate. You might be interested then, after this video I begin a new army project on Blood Angels in this Grim Dark style and I’m a couple of videos in already. 😀
@flashingbadgerpainting
Nice appreciate it brother you got a new sub 💯🫡
This maybe a lil nitpicking but the shoulder pads should be switched. Chapter shoulder marker is left shoulder while the right one shows company shoulder marker
What a pick up. I’ve just finished a squad of marines and slid across the house in my socks to see what side I put the chapter symbol on.
*phew*
Nailed it.
Can you share what songs you used here? Thanks!
Hey I’m away from my PC this week but they are all songs from Artlist if that helps
@@flashingbadgerpainting Thank you so much!
Okay update. I may have made a mistake. I painted my model in wynona ryder bread :( how to fix
Bahaha 🤣 you’ve made my day
Yaya I’m a blood angel lol
Nice! They were my army as a kid and now I’m tempted to start collecting them again.
@@flashingbadgerpainting yeah I started at age 29 actually I’m relatively new in 2019 when I started collecting I’m addicted so welcome home brother
How can i paint as flat as your's? My painting's always rough.
I'm following the first way you've showed in this video.
Hey! My advice would be ;
- give the contrast paints a good shake first
- use of of their primers like Wraithbone
- unlike their other paints, don’t be afraid to load your brush up and put these on thicker
- once it’s in place, they dry quickly so don’t move them around with your brush or the paint will tear.
Try that and let me know how you go 👍

First
Thanks!
It always trips me out to hear the Catachan accent like that.
I've been painting blood angels for almost two years now and I have some notes intended as potentially interesting rather than critical.
The super bright red and yellow one looks straight off the old box art from the early days, minus the goofy limitations of old casting methods.
The last method was nice, but with blood angels lore being so focused on their passion for the arts and the bolter being a holy relic, the idea of a rusty bolter is slightly uncomfortable.
My go-to method is similar to the 'Eavy Metal style with a few extra steps, and my favourite style for my "hero" models uses both the 'Eavy Metal style and glazes for silky transitions between layers.
Hey thanks so much for giving it this much thought and then sharing with others here because you raise some great points.
Yep the bright red reminds me of the original art as well and I felt odd at first making rusty bolters but the more I thought about it, I wanted to try and sell this idea of how they can hold these important values under regular and even difficult conditions but if a small force were completely cut off and over an extended period of time were so broken down, exhausted and focused solely on survival against the odds, could their values and beliefs be tested to such a point where they couldn’t sustain it?
And I think something that makes them so interesting is that they would be willing to die before they broke this honour… but what if another driving force meant that death wasn’t an option yet?
This conflict just absolutely pulling them apart.
Maybe that’s too deep for me. Maybe I wanted an excuse to paint them more weathered 🤣
@@flashingbadgerpainting hell yeah, I dig that too!
Add chapters!!😜😜😜
For me it has chapters and they are working 🤔
they are backpack how else to they carry homework aka purity seals home that fall off HAAHAHHAH
Backpacks with tactical lunchboxes. This is what has become of the imperium.
You seriously not even going to add the fundamentals of adding a water 50/50 and adding layers
👀 Style 2 and 4 both feature layering and each of these steps use either water or thinner rather than straight paint. I discuss that a couple of times but the video is already nearing 30mins long so I need to find ways to keep it moving.
Blood angels eyes are green
It’s literally in the codex
Yep, I painted a couple green and some in different colours to mix it up in case someone wanted to branch out from the norm. 🙂
@@flashingbadgerpainting oh my bad I’m very codex compliant so I see blue eyed and I cringe i would do ultramarine the same as codex too tho hahaha
mephisten red is an horrible color... the paint is terribly chalky and muted, theres no vibrancy in their new colors or depth
Khorne red is my favourite. Now there’s a red you can set your watch to.
@@flashingbadgerpainting I'm glad you agree, I only wish they brought Red Ink back... I miss my old colors. Army painter Dragon Red base, black twist top Blood red and stinky pop-top Red Ink. There is no finer finish.
12:40 which red did you use?
Napthol Crimson from Liquitex 🙂
