"They're a disaster." *Produces one of the best black templar schemes I've ever seen*
That’s what I said to him 😂
Everyone is their own worst critic.
As someone who is very self critical- I promise you these look great and all the small details us perfectionists zoom in on aren’t noticed in the macro. They look brilliant can’t wait to see the whole lot done !
I second this… I tear myself up about my painting sometimes (mainly those damn imperial fists). These Black Templars look quite amazing and I wish I was at this level lol
IF thats wrong I dont want to be right!
Amen brosky!
One of the things I love, and I hope you keep doing, is how you mention your airbrush PSI, and your paint mix ratios. Makes it really easy for beginners to follow along. Cheers :)
+1
I really want NightShift to do a rebuild of Rogal Dorn. He does scifi models sometimes (Ma.K, most recently) so its not implausible.
im not sure even Uncle Nightshift can fix that chibi tank
Mate, it looks fantastic. It has an amazing Black Templars vibe as far as I'm concerned. But I totally relate to that vicious circle where you're not quite happy with one thing, even if you're not sure why, and then you start questioning all sorts of stuff that you were completely happy with before. It's good to hear it happens to others, and how to get around it. After a bit of distance those vices can start to look like virtues. Really enjoyed this video - cheers!
Yep. Externally, these look really so sick. Coolest BT I've seen in a while. But I get whole malicious cycle of self criticism thing, I do it every model! haha
I feel your pain!@@juble7086
Muh friends! Love Nightshift!
I think it’s lookin great. I understand that feeling though and I think it’s vitally important for us all to show mistakes. The myth of the flawless artist has really gotten out of hand and I think videos like this and some others I’ve seen have done a great job to push back on that and show that art making is a wonderful, life-affirming process that sometimes makes us absolutely miserable 😂
it's meant to be a hobby right!?!?!?!
Can't spell "painting" without "pain"!
left shoulder pad reads lighter than the helmet only thing I can see.. Also think something of a similar white on the legs or maybe the thigh flaps of the model might also help tie it together. Being massively pedantic of course, I'd be very happy with this.
A gorgeous model!! I love all the little touches. It sucks that the squad fought you all the way. Maybe using VMS Exhaust Manifold for the silver base? Give it a little more....personality?
big fan of that one
@@cultofpaint Very much the same!! It gives a good, lived in look.
First off; I always really appreciate showing that it's not all sunshine and rainbows. Can't spell "painting" without "pain".
Second, I want to echo the other commenters that while this looks great compared to what I normally see, I think the color temperature is the issue; the moment you put the green wash on the gold, I went "oh that looks really good... but not on this model". John Blanche seemed to always go for the more sepia, orangey golds rather than using the very limited greens available in the Zorn palette for it. That, and the use of a shockingly high number of warm accents against the cold armor, like reds on the bolter casing, even more purity seals, etc. Obviously we mere mortals can't put his level of ragged edges on a physical object that has to see the table, but that basic idea may be useful; consider amping up the usage of brown grime on the armor to help break it up?
This is a very helpful video and I'm really glad you posted it! I'm definitely going to try making purity seals like this, at minimum.
I would definitely take the white towards the yellow and keep that white for tabards ! That military clinical white i think would work better on larger models like vehicles but in this size it feels as a hot spot at least in video
I cant see how this didn't work 😛 - I would just use it for what it is; a learning experience for the beginning of a scheme. Move on, the next mini will be closer to what you want - keep moving, - this terminator is AWESOME - Great job Henry - Love the honesty and authenticity.
Great tutorial. It's because of yourselves that I've finally stated playing around with oil pants - mostly as streaks on Titans.
A good source of Black Templar decals is the Mighty Brush. They seem to use a thinner and easier to manipulate film than GW.
Great shop for decals I have ....... Many!
youre painting at a level above 90% of the people who paint 40k minis. i dont watch your vids often but i can say the humility is comforting
It’s very human an relatable to have things not go right from the start. Embrace it and show us how you work through it. Again, a lot of us are watching this for guidance on our own armies - and what could we use guidance on but help working through a vision not completely working out from the start. Love your content. Thank you.
Henry, I think the whole scheme looks amazing. For those of us who love painting as much (if not more) than other facets of the hobby, the hyper self-critical stance we take is part and parcel; it can be a hinderance but it's also what drives us to constantly improve. I'm glad that looking back over the footage brought back a sense of achievement with the key aspects of the scheme. As personally, I think you nailed it, particularly with that warm red/brown introduced into the recesses I immediately see this in John Blanche's codex art.
If you asked me one thing I think you should change, it's the Storm Bolter casing. Red/yellow casing, hazard stripes, flames, litany decals? Honestly I can't decide either, but something to sell that juxtaposed goofy-yet-grimdark 90s aesthetic that's within the key accent colours of Templars. The tilt plate looks fantastic and I think the black Bolter feels misplaced in combination. My instinct would be to go for red, but this could change depending on each tilt plate's heraldry.
absolutely agree on the bolter casing
@@cultofpaint Excited to see how the alterations will change your perception of it. Although, going by all the great suggestions I've seen on here, picking which might be the hardest part.
Had a quick scroll through and realised I'm about the 100th person to tell you not to beat yourself up in one way or another, so sorry for the preaching - I know if it were me I'd be sitting there with a reluctant modicum of self-worth, muttering, I hate you all for validating me. But I think the self-reflection, or admission of failure in some regard, is what makes yours' (and Andy's) content special in that it follows that uniquely personal journey we all go through building and painting armies. It's a privilege to be part of that and I'm so grateful you share it.
I think there is a lack of cool and warm contrast perhaps? Maybe try a cool base to offset the nice warm shading in the white and reds in the black. It's all executed very well but for me, that's the main thing that could dial this up ❤
Would perhaps lighter Crux Terminatus and deeper shadows on the black? Honestly I think they look amazing but maybe some more (subtle) extremes could help catch the eye.
i think it was just totally the wrong grey!
Thank you for the plasticard idea for seals. I've been using and fighting with copper for so long. Also big ups to nightshift totally agree on everything you said about his channel.
The honesty here is something you don't usually find with tutorials and is really appreciated. Have you done the usual gloss varnish before your decals and oil washes with this? I'm inspired and have started following along.
thanks Jason. Yes normal decal process with varnishes
You can also pick up one of the aluminum baking trays and use that for rivets.
great suggestion
Looks fantastic, I’d smash a highlight on the Cruz and I think the chest purity seal looks a little flat, maybe put a wave in it or maybe even some tears so it doesn’t look so neat and tidy but that’s all I can think of, base looks awesome.
I'm not sure why you're embarrassed by these at all, these look fantastic and what I aspire to be in my painting. You've done an amazing job on all of these Terminators.
Sorry to enjoy your suffering but I really appreciated how honest this was and I am very glad you chose to post it. It represents what I think is most people's experience of trying something new. I also found it immensely valuable when you talked through how you analysed what went wrong.
It might not mean much but I think it's great. If your expectations are higher than this then I can't wait to see when you inevitably nail it.
One minor comment... I think a different colour choice for the weapon would add another point of interest. With how much you guys love John Blanche I was expecting some silver, red, or yellow bolters. An easy tweak for one test model maybe?
Agreed. I think that's change number one.
So much respect for what you’ve touched on throughout this, great video 💪🏻
I think you're too hard on yourself - that's an amazing figure. My only suggestion is to shift the green out of the yellow and gold. I think if you tried a warm yellow and amber washes instead of the necro-green gold, the warm "blanchitsu" would shine! You've got blue armor, warm white, warm sand bases... I think the green is clashing the warm tones instead of complimenting them.
You might be right, that Blanche artwork (Zorn palette btw) is really warm and I don’t see a place for blues and green either now that you mention it.
great suggestion
I don't think it is half as bad as you think.
I think the two major items are a bit more scratches and edge highlights using silver / white and staining the white with a yellow brown wash. The black of the gun looks unfinished which might throw you off. The silver is too dark but you said that already. Give it an extra hour and you ll be much happier
This still looks really good, but that's a very artist mindset of not liking your own work because of subtle things not going to plan that other people aren't going to really notice. I'm very interested how you painted the yellow eye lenses, I'm following that old famous Blanche artwork colorwise (You know the one!) and they have those cool yellow eyes, I'm having trouble finding the right pants.
I really love this. The kinda weathered, earthy approach reminds me of that classic John Blanche artwork of the Black Templars that inspired the new Castellan model. Really like how the gold/brass looks too, may have to steal that recipe! The only thing I'd change is to give the weapons red casings.
I think it's the temperatures, thats giving you the impression about something being off, like the black is cold and the white is warm, whilst it would be more realistic if it was warm in the front & top and the cold in the back & bottom, so if you used some light grey-blue as shade for the white, and maybe some brown as highlight for the front of the black armor, then the temperatures would be fixed.
Thank you for leaving the stuff in that you aren't happy with. I like that you show the ups and downs instead of a perfectly curated video, that we viewers have a harder time to identify with.
I like where this is heading, specifically because you’re not there yet and I’m now invested in the journey.
That model is awesome. The gray for the crux looks great, and the small change in tone helps to set it as a different material. The yellow on the shield, while at first it looks off, I really quite like it. It looks to be more weathered or sun bleach than a brighter yellow would be. I hope this helps a little.
This was a fantastic video from my point, very helpful to see tutorials but also it’s actually helpful to the little guys to see that mistakes do happen, somewhat why and how they happen and how you overcame it. When you mentioned about the yellow and grey brown being wrong and a way to correct it thats the stuff i find really helpful. Thank you for putting this video together! Fantastic work
It is so refreshing to see a video where not everything goes to plan. I would for sure appreciate some footage of the mistakes as well, e.g. the transfers or eye-lenses.
I like scale colors brown grey highlighted up with scale color rainy grey for an interesting grey tone, it’s definitely more brown than skavenblight dinge but still in the realm of being grey.
Good suggestion
Looking forward to more, I've just started trying to use oils.
Yeah, complete disaster, throw'em in the bin! *rolls eyes.
You are over thinking this, mate. They look great.
I had a mould slip on my Leviathan Terminators. Not bad that before on GW plastic
Fantastic! More/clearer chipping, dark red lenses
I liked it that😊 undercoat before the black ....
This is one thing about my start to a Space Marine army is getting the right look thats in my head. Out of all of my armies I am finding solidifying a color scheme and theme for my custom chapter to be the most difficult. I feel a lot of us, including you guys, we see soo many unique custom color schemes and even different takes on the lore accurate space marine chapters/legions, that we maybe find it harder to get something exactly as we picture it in our minds that can be distinguished among the rest of the community. I definitely feel for you here as you really put a lot of hours and patients into this one termie and you still have a whole squad, let alone a whole army to do and it definitely seems like a huge mountain to climb and Im not even the one painting them haha
Thank you for putting out this video. I feel for you that it didn't go as well as you wanted it to, but it's also super nice seeing an imperfect painting video and then what to do about it. It will be super nice when the next video(s) come out. Thanks for taking us with you on this journey, Henry!
Also with a test model like that, do you think you'll fix the parts and repaint them when you've figures out the final scheme and make them part of the army? Or will they just be part of the army as they are now? Ooor will they just wander in a box as a test model and that's it?
You guys have the best paint jobs on youtube, but more importantly to me, you have the best attitude! I appreciate the honesty and sincerity. It can go a long ways to step back and look hard at a piece, realize that's good, but not quite what you envisioned. Then you have to raise the bar and do your best to adjust the plan/scheme, and capture what you're after. Sometimes, my vision of a mini, or an army, will change right in the middle of my test models, and I have to pivot to make the new vision work, and then adjust my plan for the army.
Great video, it's actually good to see when things aren't going according to your plan and the back and forth of resolution and the reasons behind them.
I like it but I think it's very subdued. It's like its been painted with lighting from a very overcast / stormy day - eg weak omnidirectional lighting. I think it looks more realistic than most. :)
A paint scheme for pre-heresy Assassins. There has to be a way to do them in an unconventional way! Maybe taking some inspiration, Splinter Cell?
But these look good to me, I have stripped my mini's for less.
These look absolutely lovely.. proper grim dark but not too dirty grim dark... great job!
I love that yellow! Looks great desaturated, like its been worn down.
Great video! Nice to see that not all attempts end as we expect. Looking forward to seeing the future videos with improvements.
“Just a disaster”…….😢
I am sad because, I am a complete noob amateur to 40K and my faction that I have chosen is
Black Templars
I have built all of my units and support armor …primed them all Chaos Black and now ……………………………………………………………………………………
Complete mental breakdown….
way too many techniques and styles and effects to “ZONE IN ON “ and say ok this is what I want them to look like and this is how I will represent them on a Battlefield and I am proud of what I have done……
I am not sure but I have like ur Terminator and I really did not think they weee a bunch of chameleons looking in different directions…..
I am new to this ….
I need to keep watching to see what you really wanted and what you are proud to say …” I got it!”
I have subscribed and will be on edge of my seat to see the outcome!!!!
Maybe the black needs to pop more if that makes sense? I have no idea how, I'm useless. Looking forward to seeing how you do it though!
yes i think i can take the chipping highlights a step further
Mate, the terminator looks absolutely bangers! And I say this from the heart, give it some time and don't rush any changes. It will grow on you. I get the same feeling with most of my paint jobs and after a day or two I am completely satisfied with them.
yeah, just time to take it slow and enjoy this project!
It's insane you think this went south. The only thing I can say is yes that yellow should be warmer but dude it still looks killer!!
The white is some of the best i've ever seen on a Space Marine (those little rivets also look great and i'm glad you had success trying something new), however i was a bit struck during the first sequence of the video, which i presume you picked as it is particularly unflattering, that the black didn't look great at all. But purely because of the Finish imo. It looks a bit well... blobby (via youtube video ofc) it appears glossy where it shouldn't to my eye.
I don't know if it's one of the GW paints as they are good but notoriously inconsistent in their finishes/mediums, it's worst in those leg tube things. One thing i would suggest is that my experience with Black Legion is that it is absurdly matte, to an unprecedented degree in GW's range imo, and i noticed you used it in a very focused way through the airbrush and it's not gelled well with the typically very satin GW off-blacks.
The other thing is that i think the yellow/orange/red of the tilt shield is bringing some real excitement to the model and saves it for me (so yes i do love it), maybe look for more areas to push it? John Blanche low key made the 'Zorn Palette' his own but it predates him for a reason.
I really appreciate the honesty in this video. I'm also now super invested in seeing what you do to get it to a place you want it. "grabs popcorn
This series has been the push to start building my own BT army and this video is actually encouraging for those of us nowhere near this level. Thanks and keep up the great work!
I really like how the gold and the white came out!
I feel you. I'm searching now for years for a schema for my Black Templars.
I don't know why it's so hard for me with so many cool paintings out there. Here some thoughts and what's worked for me.
- Maybe a little more color. I find it more easy to read the black with a little more contrast, so a red bolter and a brighter blue-grey for the skulls on knee and shoulder.
- I go with a cold black leaning on the blue side but warm with my red and white
- Painting the hydraulic pipes in silver
I hope it helps, as a good or bad example , to find what you're looking for, 😅. I'm excited to see what's coming up
Great video guide. Please Henry take a breath and enjoy it 😊 This is very good work!
I think it looks great. I really appreciate your detailed tutorial and thought process. It's very relatable that even an amazing painter like you has the same self doubts. I personally would want a more striking red, especially on the purity seals and transfers.
I think you are very nearly there. I do think it needs some extra colour, try making the gun a dark red or maybe a grey, I feel it’s a bit lost on the model currently.
Love this series. Love following the journey. Love Black Templars! Keep making the videos ❤
I think I agree with your assessment that it's just something slight that's missing and I also think it could very well be just slowing down a little and spending some time on the highlighting of the black. I also was wondering if you had thought about a splash color for the scheme, usually for BT this is the red in the gun or in the old Blanche art yellow, maybe adding something like that will help break it up a little more and give the interest you were searching for. Lastly, I was thinking it could be some more curios and trinkets to add to the models hanging off the belts ect.
All this said I definitely look forward to more of this project and can't wait to see it. KEEP IT UP AND KEEP THE FAITH! It will be great in the end
yeah colours for the bolter casing a must i think
looks absolutely amazing as always! the only thing i'd like to see changed is for them to have yellow weapons, in proper john blanche style! :D
Looking good! Sometimes a break from thinking (obsessing?) can help clear expectations from the mind
You always learn a lot more from a process that goes wrong than one that is flawless. Keep up the great work.
Been following Night shift for ages too :) Learned a lot for terrain, but also things like making tanks look like they're cast or welded.
Great to hear you being so critical of your own work. Think we are all like that. Think you are being way to hard on yourself as I think it looks great already. Have learnt a lot and have now I want a set as well. Cheers lads
I really appreciate the honestly and vulnerability shown here. I think it looks fantastic! But I completely understand the disappointment if it's not turned out how you wanted.
Watching this is the first time I've ever had an itch to paint Black Templars, so I'm excited to see the refined scheme you land with to be able to have a go myself. I love Cult of Paint tutorials, fantastic style and always clearly explained steps.
Keep up the great work!
This is stunning, of course, but if you're asking for things that could elevate it, I'd highly suggest a glossier finish to the black armor only. I know how much you like matte finishes, but to me satin or gloss really enriches and deepens inorganic black shapes.
I love where this is heading! I think that the black armor and especially the gold and the purity seals look amazing and I'll be looking to try those recipes myself. Good luck in refining the scheme, I cant wait to see what changes in the final product. I think with how much you've already persevered through with this one squad of terminators you'll be able to push through and come out with something really special!
Looks great! And pretty faithful to the John Blanche art style too.
I feel like this video is a cautionary tale about standards and that the higher your skill the more critical you are of mistakes that only you notice
I would say maybe there are too many touches of different colors, even if they are subtle. There is red, yellow and burgundi and I think one of these should disappear. I would replace burgundi with red for the purity seals and maybe go with the classic red with the eyes (I'm not convinced by the yellow eyes). The shield is great tho.
Oh my oh my, thats gorgeous. Looking forward to thr base video. Using vallejo yellow ochre but maybe i will "rebase" everything with red ochre.. i think i can see it in the thumbnail?
I really liked the look of that Templar. I get totally what you mean and how you feel though. Im like that with nearly everything I do.
I'm thrilled you're starting this series. I've been converting a Templar Crusade for a year or so on and off, and have had terrible perfection paralysis about how to start painting them. I love the pallet you've chosen, very similar to my own test piece for the black. I also much prefer the white chapter pads on Sword Brethren, Characters etc. myself. Will be making a playlist of all the vids you post for this and standing on the shoulders of giants to achieve my hobby dreams. ⚡⚡⚡
Enjoyed the Night Shift shoutout. Used his cast armor texture recipe on my sororitas rhino and it was amazing how much such a simple technique could add such scale and realism.
nice!
A military modeller i used to work with put my onto Nightshift and his videos are great
Being self critical is one of the most important parts of painting otherwise complacencey takes hold imo. It looks good honestly if u want a subjective opinion id say ur right the shield leans on green yellow tint but there is something great about it, just the wrong yellow. The lenses i believe should probably contrast the helm more. Also possibly too much white overall and i think it needs more dark brown in the scheme whilst the black looks great it leans too much to the blue for blachesque imo, possibly increasing the chipping effect and bringing in more dark brown to that aswell. Its a tough one but i really apreciate u being honest about the process something we don’t get to see alot of. My own theme song on the hobby journey is hello darkness my old friend so i can relate to the struggle! just need to get to bible black from dio lol! Good luck n hope it goes well
8:07 Night Shift prefers plastic cement over super glue to glue the metal rivets on. He mentioned that softening the plastic is enough to let the rivets sink in at adhere to the plastic.
Dude, if you want to remove transfers in the future, vallejo decal softener just left on a bit longer takes them off nicely.
id already varnished over them to try and fix some of the problem
@@cultofpaint oh dear, that sucks
It’s really great to see the style in this tutorial. I think subtle highlights work really well and not everything needs a high contrast. I’m experimenting with a black that uses brown grey highlights a bit like the FW Raven guard.
It looks great man
Thank you to share this amazing project and experience with us. I learned things today thank you
Thank you so much for sharing this video. It is so refreshing to see that even great painters like yourself get downhearted and also need to see something finished. I think the terminator looks great. I get it isn't perfect and that you aren't happy with it. Take a break come back to it and see the good as well as the "bad" your are focusing on. I'd be happy if my painting looked like that full stop.
I love the filters and off colour effects that are created. As ever this has given me lots of ideas and surely that is the point.
Keep up the great work, don't be so hard on yourself - I do wonder if TH-cam is good for creator's mental health. We consumers aren't as critical as you may think. I just like to learn and enjoy seeing ideas played out.
thanks mate!
I am really looking forward to this series!
In my experience, this is where I'd go back to the reference. I think if it were me looking at Blanche's artwork, I'd reflect on the fact that there are templars with red weapon casings, and even some red and steel trim. Maybe that'd be a good place to go.
For what it matters, I think this is a lovely take, and if I saw this army across the table to me, I would be absolutely chuffed to go into battle against them.
Looks amazing for an initial test set! With the yellow, could there be some yellow incorporated into the bolter? The artwork has this for the flamers and plasma but maybe being such large models breaking up the black just a little there might give it just that little extra?
Yeah bolter needs to not be black
Great work mate. I’m constantly like this as well . Most of my projects either end up on eBay or in the bin. Only a few have ever made it into my display cabinet haha.
My personal opinion, I would remove the gold part from the powerpack. I feel it draws the attention from the real focal point of the face/helmet, maybe even dim it down with some shading but who am I to say haha. Good luck with the rest of the project.
“Hi everyone it’s henreh here”
Love these guys
Nice start to the Templar project. I completely understand what you mean by, every element came out well but it dosent look like you intended. I think on review it’s a lovely paint job but I do think certain elements may not blend together as well as you may have set out. For example I love the more cream bone white with the black armour. I also think some of the highlights prob could be brought up a notch mainly on the black. I thought gold recipe was awesome but again do those gold tones go with the black compared to a warmer gold? It’s hard to know and art is very personnel. But I think it’s great to see what creating a project can look like at the start and stages you have to go through to where you want to be.
Regardless it is still a great paint job.
I've painted the black on my Deathwatch marines in a very similar way (just without the oil wash bit) and I found that Celestra Grey from citadel has a very nice tint to bring it away from just plain gray - it's a bit lighter than Mechanicus Standard, but I recommend trying it out. Also a trick to get the perfect brown-ish gray that I've seen used a lot was mixing Skavenblight dinge with Stormvermin fur. And one final thing that I've used a lot and people have been picking up is using Ratling grime contrast to wash silvers, resulting in a somewhat darker more battered look.
Great work Henry.. I'm not entirely sure what you don't like about it... I'm definitely keeping an eye on this project as I have my own BT force to paint up and this could be the inspiration I need... love the gold....I liked the bright orange dusty base, really lets the dark model pop off... love the eyes as well ';)
This is stunning, indeed nightshift is such a gem to the community!
It is a formidable scheme, that's out of question. But, in an attempt to look for something "odd" in it, I'd say the yellow colour in the shoulder shield doesn't add up. Maybe in red, matching with other details, could make everything come together. But is am incredible job, no matter what. 🙂
Honestly it looks fantastic. Problem with black and white( and both elements are so nicely done, I adore it ) is I think the method you've used to do the black is too dark when it contrasts with the white. The base looks awesome as well, but I wonder if it's too light / pastel. A darker contrasting organic orange might help you feel more satisfied? Just some thoughts. But honestly, I wouldn't have said any of those suggestions if you had just presented this as a normal tutorial- you deffo could have gotten away with it. Fantastic as always, will be applying the same methods to some Imperial fist / Templar cross over chapter I have in mind :-)
"the black is too dark" what do you mean the black is too dark - it's BLACK! :D they're BLACK templars!
@@ecMonify to be honest, I looked at the stills in higher Resolution and ive changed my mind about what I said already 😁. The black looks great.
What a quality painting video, thanks for sharing. Love the new addition or rather updates of these.. just wondering on how I can fit them into my HH 1st Legion force 🤔🤔
Swap the templar cross for a winged sword, shave off the crux and you're basically there!
