Defeatist attitudes are a plague. I have bad eye damage in one eye giving me a large blind spot in the center of my vision which also means I have no literally no depth perception when I'm looking at something. Didn't paint for the longest time because I thought this would make it near impossible. When I finally gave it a shot the first squad I did was far above tabletop standards. Adapt and overcome.
Definitely like the xenomorph one the best. It's done so quickly, but looks so 'natural'. The classic scheme kind of looks like a scary alien just came to work in his pyamas.
Blurple! My favourite is the Gigerseque one, that is really nicely done. I also have a soft spot for the classic Genestealer colours, as the original Genestealer Chaos Cult army list was first published in the first White Dwarf I ever bought - issue 116, in 1989! By the way, it looks like you really need to scrape some dried paint out of the lid of your pot of yellow paint, if you want it to stay useable for much longer.
I had the original issue with both expansions and painted over fifty of these things in original purple colour. I still twitch when I see a Genestealer. Great vid as always 😃
You sir, are a gentleman. I have been looking at my Space Hulk box for ages, daunted by the volume of genestealers but I’ll have them all primed and ready for paint tonight. After painting up the BSF sets and seeing the amazing result I got following along, I can’t wait for this.
lol same - bought off Ebay a week ago, cracked open last night and oh look a guide on how to paint a 6 year old game pops up today. Cheers for the tips - Going with glossy black and blood covered white for mine.
Man, I miss my old Genestealer army. The hobby shop where I used to live had a bunch of Space Hulk and Tyranid Attack games for their players to play and would sell the minis from the games for 25 cents each, I bought a lot of them. This was about the time of the White Dwarf Genestealer army list, All I have left is three of the Tyranids that must have been put away in my Battle Masters or Warhammer Quest games. 30 years later and I'm getting back into the hobby with my sons so it's a lot of fun! I wish I had your tutorials back then! :) Keep up the great work!
What an inspiring video! Really love the scheme and the way you cut out all the complexity- it really feels like something an amateur like me can achieve! I'm really looking forward to seeing the terminators and the 2ed tactical marines painted up too - especially in a classic goblin green style!
Quoting the late, great Bill Paxton in one of his best roles, from the best film ever made... You sir definitely deserve my smashing of the Like button
I know this video is older but your tips and instruction are the best I have ever seen. I mainly wanted to start painting for the mcfarlane warhammer figures. You explanation and demonstration is perfect. Thank you so much.
I’m sorry but wha- I can’t believe your colour blind you are so talented . You are really just proving that anyone can do anything . Thank you for always bringing a smile to my screen .🦋🌌🌑
I've been absorbing all your tips and tricks for a couple of months and yesterday I give myself some courage to paint my first miniature! I found myself remembering/using a lot of the info you give and that made me felt more confident, soooo thanks a lot!
I've been watching miniature painters youtube for so long now - you finally provided a HD close-up of the color consistency after adding water. Usually people only reference skim milk. I think this helps a lot for many new painters. Also: favorite color scheme is the xenomorph
That Aliens scheme is what I am going to use for my whole collection of Space Hulk Genestealers. It is magnificent and truly looks like the Aliens from the movies.
I just got done a couple of weeks ago with my 2e Space Hulk genestealers, goodness what a chore! But I have the 3e/4e 'stealers yet to paint, and this is the perfect guide. THANK YOU! You got a subscription, sir.
Nice video. Reminds me of my tyranid army back in the days of 3rd ed. Liche Purple, drybrushed Blood Red, with claws Bleached Bone drybrushed over Bronzed Flesh. Those paints are still going strong over 20 years later!
really love the brown one. it feels the most natural, like it could be a real horrifying alien. Gene-stealers always start feeling "fake" when they are brighter fancier colours
Love to see more of your speed paints, they're always so relaxing to watch and listen to late at night with the lights off and the dark moody tunes. I don't even paint/play warhammer!
i remember painting my first genestealer 30 years ago as a 13 year old in a purple and pink colour scheme. but i must say your "alien" inspired version is top class.
My first models are gonna be genestealers from the first edition Space Hulk game, and I’ve been loving your videos so much I’ve been clearing your back catalogue. Was very happy to see this one so perfect for what I need!
I like the green paint scheme, much as I realise you were going for typical alien fare, it gave me a pretty heavy Creature from the Black Lagoon vibe which I love.
6:38 - I just love this stuff! I've been thinking of this exact style for a Space Hulk army. It seriously inspires me to get my hands on some Tyranids =D
Colourblind? Nice one! Me too and it is always frustrating when paints are given daft names which don't attribute themselves to an actual colour! Loving your videos and slowly working through them all 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Wonder what his reaction would be with those glasses
I have double vision in both eyes, where i essentially see 3 or 4 versions of the same image...Im now a commission painter :D
*tearful salute*
Haha, you're too nice. Let's see how nice you are next week though, after our collab... wait, are we suppose to be keeping it a secret? D-:
Smart. Starting a warhammer channels so you can mark it as a business expense
Big brain time!
@@MidwinterMinis this gives me an idea
@@MidwinterMinis +1
Dude, that xenomorph scheme is *chef’s kiss*
Right? Legit makes me want to start a Tyranid army.
The “Alien” color scheme was awesome. I liked the stabby color effects! Keep up the GREAT videos, Guy!
I think I’m going to try it!
Would like to like but can't, it is on the funny number.
i love the colour scheme as they actually look like genestealers rather than the creamstealers gw paint them as
Creamstealers hahah
@@AconKirt No one's custard cream biscuits shall be safe!
Creamstealers, the genetically engineered breakfast cereal kids can't get enough of
Ah yes, creamstealers
Arch-enemies of the Adeptus Custardes
Creamstealers!
Not going to lie I laughed when you flexed the TH-cam award
I laughed when I did it ;)
I’m honestly just happy to see that he got the award. He earned it.
@@MidwinterMinis Congratulations to Penny for getting the 100,000 award
Those things are worth flexing!
Same

We used to call them the California Raisins
Hatty knocked all of her’s out the park and Guy’s 90s and Leviathan were legit.
Well done.
I've always been a fan of the classic Genestealer color scheme, and you did it really well.
I'd love to see a whole Tyranid Army painted up like Xenomorphs in this style. So good!
Midwinter minis upload! Go Go Go!
So true
The flexing part with the Silver Button is my favourite
The fact he can paint so many models that look amazing fast while colorblind is amazing!

This was posted the actual moment I sat down to paint my own Space Hulk genestealers. I'm scared.

Cheers for the tips - Going with glossy black and blood covered white for mine.
The great devourer watchesssss
Guy put cameras in your place. Now thin your paints and go finish those 'stealers! 😂
Same, I'm using the terminators in a deathwatch army I'm building instead of dropping more money on separate terminator squads. Spooky
such a good omen
Dana Howl and Midwinter Minis, two great tastes that go great together.
2:33 -- Priming your palette. Smart lad! That tip alone makes the video.
It’s like Gordon Ramsey seasoning the outside of the oven.
"it's been sitting on your shelf unpainted for at least 6 years now"
Never felt so personnaly attacked by a youtuber before :P
Space Hulk and your Beginners video are what got me into Warhammer. I really appreciate that you got me into a new hobby.
I love the ET inspired one, great idea for the reddish wash!
They mostly paint them at night. mostly. Those Giger style ones are fantastic! loved the subtle colours.
"I've chosen some paints with good opacity..."
*stares at Flash Gitz Yellow*
Ugh you can keep your flash gitz yellow. Yuck!
The best flex of the silver plate I've ever seen on TH-cam.
I can't wait to see what you'll do when you'll have the gold one you truly deserve!
They look really good, well done 🙂
Seeing Dana Howl on the patron list makes me happy!

This is still a fantastic game to play. The green skin looked good closely followed by the cream coloured one. Loved it all
Surprised by how much I loved the green scheme, definitely my favourite
Love the TH-cam backdrop, great way to showcase the minis. All are great but partial to the shiny black and classic.
Quoting the late, great Bill Paxton in one of his best roles, from the best film ever made... You sir definitely deserve my smashing of the Like button
Please always do painting videos, I could watch them all day!
For someone who’s colour-blind you make the best painting tutorials I’ve ever seen
Gloss off-black looks awesome, almost pearlescent. Wow.
I know this video is older but your tips and instruction are the best I have ever seen. I mainly wanted to start painting for the mcfarlane warhammer figures. You explanation and demonstration is perfect. Thank you so much.
I liked all of them but mostly the last, classic colours of the Space Hulk DOS Game from 1993. Great job!
Nice variety of schemes. Your tutorials make batch painting seem both fun and plausible.
Feeling guilty - I only ever painted the Terminators and the genestealers remain unpainted, hiding in the same metal Quality Street tin since 1989!
That green scheme can be used on so many things other than genestealers, its amazing!
Great schemes! Goes to show how effective one can be in very little time at the table.
The xenomorph scheme is genius. It's so hard to make black interesting. Thanks Guy!
I’m sorry but wha- I can’t believe your colour blind you are so talented . You are really just proving that anyone can do anything . Thank you for always bringing a smile to my screen .🦋🌌🌑
Yeah... I can't choose a favorite, because they're all so... Geiger. It's the Geiger. Such a creative approach!
I really liked the xenomorph and the green color schemes. I have ever seen models that had that wet look about them.
The way you did the claws in this gives me a lot of info on how to fix my botched Shadowhulk. thanks!
I've been absorbing all your tips and tricks for a couple of months and yesterday I give myself some courage to paint my first miniature! I found myself remembering/using a lot of the info you give and that made me felt more confident, soooo thanks a lot!
Painting the plastic tray gray. Genius!
That Geiger inspired stealer though... man, so simple, yet so well done!
I hope we see another release of this... I'd love to play it.
Being obsessed with The Guyver is a perfectly natural feeling.
I like all of them but especially the lubricated boy and the talented pole dancer.
Great video!
“All your paints will still be wet on your pallette”
*cries in Australia*
I feel you brother
Isn't it winter there right now? How deep is the snow?
Midwinter Minis, it winter but yesterday I cooked an egg on the sidewalk
@@MidwinterMinis We only had a little bit, but the paint still dried in a minute.
@@MidwinterMinis How deep is a freezer? cos that's only snow you'll get around here xD
Love that xenomorph scheme. Inspired a new genestealer cult army!
I've been watching miniature painters youtube for so long now - you finally provided a HD close-up of the color consistency after adding water. Usually people only reference skim milk. I think this helps a lot for many new painters.
Also: favorite color scheme is the xenomorph
Love the H.R Giger scheme, simple, but very striking
The Xenomorph for sure!!!! I've done something similar for mine but I've used purple and bright green!
That green scheme is an excellent Hive Fleet Gorgon look!
Really love the wet gloss look. Will try to remember it for any future projects.
This has been one of your most enjoyable videos. I liked that you give so many colour scheme options. Thank you.
The black glossy one look amazing!!
This is amazing. I love the videos where you show multiple colour schemes on models. Looking forward to the next video. Keep up the good work.
That green look so much better than i was expecting!
Very nice. That zenomorph glossy scheme. Very nice.
Love your videos Guy, I would love to get my demon hunter tau on a board with you one day!
That Aliens scheme is what I am going to use for my whole collection of Space Hulk Genestealers. It is magnificent and truly looks like the Aliens from the movies.

Got some Genestealer Cult minis in the works and box of Genestealers to paint, so this has come at the right time for me. Thanks, guy!
Love the Giger inspired one. The Green was also a great new idea. Keep making fantastic and fun videos.
Really love your speedpainting tutorials specelly this one becuase it had multiple color schemes
The green one looks SICK!
Beautiful models, seriously well painted and in that time!!!😱 nice job!
Nice video. Reminds me of my tyranid army back in the days of 3rd ed. Liche Purple, drybrushed Blood Red, with claws Bleached Bone drybrushed over Bronzed Flesh. Those paints are still going strong over 20 years later!

Love the background! Awesome. Proud to be 1 of 100000
i remember painting my first genestealer 30 years ago as a 13 year old in a purple and pink colour scheme. but i must say your "alien" inspired version is top class.
Been here since the sandstone necrons!! Favorite Warhammer TH-camr. *Love from the U.S.*
5 great schemes AND a reference to the greatest film of all time (Mac and Me)? I can't imagine this day getting any better.
My first models are gonna be genestealers from the first edition Space Hulk game, and I’ve been loving your videos so much I’ve been clearing your back catalogue. Was very happy to see this one so perfect for what I need!

I love that green scheme!!
Love your Xenomorph-Style & Pvt. Hudson Quote ♥
I loved the first one, and the alien one, looked sooooo amazing
Really nice video! Hope you make more videos with alternate color schemes, I have a feeling that it will really help some people out!
That wet-look genestealer turned out great! I'm going to have to try that if I ever paint Space Hulk Set again.
all of them dude would be cool to play all different at same time awesome work
6:38 - I just love this stuff! I've been thinking of this exact style for a Space Hulk army. It seriously inspires me to get my hands on some Tyranids =D
Green is definitely my favorite
Awesome! I love the aliens one! Thanks for sharing.
'It's an ugly planet, a bug planet'
That's the paint scheme that was missing, one of the arachnids from starship troopers.
Mediiiiiiiiiccccc!!!!!!!
You two are tempting and inspiring me to get back into this hobby , keep up the great work
I loved the xenomorph color scheme so much, im using it in all my Tyranid units and I'm in rhe process of making a Xenomorph army!
Colourblind? Nice one! Me too and it is always frustrating when paints are given daft names which don't attribute themselves to an actual colour! Loving your videos and slowly working through them all 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Oh my god. It`s first time i`ve been so early on video. I love ur work,keep it up!
Love the different colours may try some
