Love how rich and vibrant the blue ends up being. The combination of the retro vibrancy and the more modern accents is a wonderful result and a nice change of pace from the grimdark trend
Thank you 🙏🏻
That was exactly what I was aiming for.
Trying to do something a bit different to just change things up a bit 👍🏻
exactly why i liked on the video!! i saw the thumbnail and i was immdietly drawn in by the blue!
It's insane how artists such as yourself bring life to a piece of plastic. Absolutely incredible 👏
Thank you, very kind 🙏🏻
I like this bright, punchy take on Ultramarines!
Thank you 👍🏻
I haven't played this game in YEARS!! but watching you paint this figure makes me want to buy 1 figure and give it a go!!!! LOL
haha thanks for watching. So great to hear it has made you feel like you want to get back into it again.
If you can get to a Warhammer store, they have a miniature of the month, where you can get a sample miniature to try for FREE!
They will even give you a refresher painting lesson to get you up to speed with things if you ask.
So why not check that out?
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides Thank You kindly - I know right where 1 is. I'll stop by.
probably one of the best marines i've seen. That blue is great. Love the contrast too. I just purchased that and the faded ultramarine from pro acryl because I love it so much
Thank you
So glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful.
Thank you so much for checking out my channel 🙏🏻
A friend wanted to get into modeling and I sat her down and said, "For both building models and painting them I have three rules: 1. Slow down. 2. Pay attention. And 3. Slow down." In my experience, getting in a hurry is the worst thing you can do, and from watching this, I see that you seem to follow these rules, too.
Absolutely 👍🏻
Calm and steady.
Painting is how I de-stress
I can't get over how well this one looks. Amazing work.
Spectacular, I've been searching far and wide for a simple bright blue ultramarines scheme and this is it. I wish you made more videos as the production quality is great and you don't overcomplicate the process.
Thank you.
That’s exactly the style of tutorials I’m aiming for, uncomplicated.
What else would you like to see? I have lots planned but I’m keen to make videos people want to see 🙂
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides Personally I would like to see an impulsor/repulsor/gladiator video done in this colour scheme or a T'au sept painting guide. Other than that I'd be content to see anything.
Love the brighter blue. Very 2nd edition too, would love to try this with the old school yellow trim.
Thank you. Yeah, adding that old school yellow trim would be cool to try.
Please do give it a go and let me know how you get on 👍🏻
Great tip about the heavily thinned down paint for the details coupled with the light touch!
Never seen an ultramarine pop like this! I’ve been putting off painting my indomitus boys but you just gave me some real motivation and direction to take them. Thank you from a new fan and sub- cheers mate!
Hey man, thanks for supporting my channel. Really appreciate it.
So great to hear this has inspired you for your Indomitus set. Please let me know how you get on 👍🏻
This is amazing, the end result is so good. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching
So glad you enjoyed it and found it useful
Spectacular result you've achieved there- that's one sharp looking marine. And not to diminish the work you put in to it, but it seems like a relatively painless process, to boot. Gives me the confidence I need to finally tackle some of these miniatures I've "collected" over the years. Have a great weekend.
Thank you, and you saying it has given you confidence to try it yourself is the best feedback I could ask for.
I aim to keep things nice and simple and show it doesn’t need to be difficult to get a nice looking result. Please do give it a try and let me know how you get on 👍🏻
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides Why, you're very welcome, and thanks for the reply. Something about this video, and the way you lay it all out, just clicks with me. Will certainly keep you posted, and take care.
THAT is the blue I’ve been looking for! I’ve been wanting to find something that fit my memory of the old school Ultra paint jobs. Thank you for sharing.
No problem! 👍🏻
Will you be putting them on goblin green bases too?
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides it’s entirely a possibility.
Legend
Love this blue really takes me back to my child hood when I fell in love with the ultras I will be trying this with my Roboute Model I have picked up great work friend … subbed!
Really great to hear you like the blue. It is very reminiscent of classic ultramarines. Maybe I should have gone the whole hog and done a goblin green base too 😀
Thanks very much for checking out my channel and giving it a sub, really appreciate it 👍🏻
Excellent paintinh guide for the Space Smurfs!!
Awesome job dude! Love the old skool colours on it!! 👍👌😎
Thanks man 🤛🏻
I Follower your tutorial step by step. I out the ultramarines in a glass case, opened the light above and the Armour LOOKS AMAZING!
That’s amazing, so glad it’s worked for you 👍
Thanks for doing this video. I just found my mostly unpainted ultramarine army from about 23 years ago and I have started working away at it in this style.
Welcome back to the hobby 👍🏻
Great to hear you enjoyed the video.
Would love to see pics of your marines when they’re done
Mate it really helps me to see how you dilute your paint and whatnot for the first steps. I'm never sure if I'm getting the viscosity of my layers right when painting bright colours, seeing it was really really helpful.
Thank you thank you
Oh man, I bought the blues from pro Acryl thinking they may be great for my Ultra's, you have shown that it's amazing before I even tried. Great video as always.
Perfect timing, hey?
They are really nice
Only thing I’d say, as I think I mentioned in the vid, when thinned they do like to separate so keep an eye on that and keep them mixed and you’ll be fine
Please more Videos, best channel with Step by step guides 🙏🏻
Your videos are very therapeutic with the background music 😊 Great tutorial thank you! Would love to see your take on painting a Tyranid….
Love to see a two tone paint job by you. Ideally Howling Griffons!!!
That is a brilliant idea! I would love to do a split colour scheme. OK, off to look up Howling Griffons
Excellent video! So glad to see an ultramarine painting video that aimed for that brighter blue result that many of us think of when we think ultramarines. Macragge blue is way too dark in my opinion. I really like they way you do videos too. youre very organized and get really close to the model while going over every step. Thanks!
Really glad you enjoyed it and like the format. 👍🏻
Ty man. I been out of painting like 9 years. Very interesting content. I'm back again.
Welcome back 👍🏻
Thanks for checking out my channel
That is a Beautiful paint job....cheers
Thanks for watching 👍
Gotta be my favourite Ultramarine I've seen. The blue pops so well it makes the standard look that GW promotes just look dull, thank you
Thank you, really glad you like it.
I agree, it does make the standard GW scheme look dull in comparison 🙂
Great video mate thanks for the pointers
No problem, thanks for giving it a watch.
Another great video as always!
Thanks very much for watching
This was fantastic!
Thank you
Really glad you enjoyed it
Most of the time, i also do i all over wash, then layer it back up with a few extreme thin layers. Could say glazing it back up. Gives you more control over feathering/shading for different areas. I find that it works way better for me than doing recess shading, and then adding darker wash to shaded areas. Takes longet maybe, but imo a much better finish. No right or wrong, just how i like to paint. I like to paint it a little more realistic, faded, and sometimes "gritty" (not grim dark) but clean, understand that this is a one-off cartoon like, and i really like the result! Excellent video!
Thank you for watching and checking out my channel.
Really glad to hear you enjoyed the video :)
Lovely! This is exactly what I've been looking for! I'm just starting out with Ultramarines after a 20 year break when I was collecting Eldar as a kid and the default coloring felt always too dark and triste to me. This is exactly what I'll try to replicate. Amazing job and channel!
Thanks for watching and welcome back to the hobby.
I really like the punchy blue too. You're so right, the current scheme has gotten really dark, I suppose to tie in with the grim dark narrative, but I have fond memories from my childhood of them being the super bright marines and I think this scheme really ticks that box
Please do let me know how you get on
I just started painting again after 10/15 years.
This was one of the first videos I watched when looking for inspiration And tips.
Didn't get much painting done the first day.
Binged watched every video on your channel in a day.
In awe of how good each video is and how you paint.
Keep up the good work
Thank you 🙏🏻
That’s so great!
You’ll have noticed my earlier videos were a bit rough and ready, but I do try and improve with each one I do.
Really appreciate you taking the time to binge them all and I hope they’ve given you the inspiration you were looking for to get painting again.
Please send me pics of how you get on, as I’d love to see them 👍🏻
@Brushstroke Painting Guides
The visual and sound is far better now. Everyone has to start somewhere tho and the main objective was captured.
Showed your wicked painting skills off.
So I happily looked past some auto focus and mic quality.
If I have the guts to send images I will.
Know where near your standard and can only dream that.
Your Premier league and I'm a pub team😂.
Either way I'm loving painting again.
That blue is lovely and glad I bought the bundle.
Look forward to more videos on here.
Thank you
You said it yourself, we all start somewhere. So, never be shy or embarrassed to show your work.
I’ve found this hobby community to be incredibly supportive and encouraging to new and seasoned painters alike.
No pressure though, if you don’t want to send pics that’s cool. But I would genuinely be interested to see how people get on using my guides and of course if I can offer advice and tips I’d be more than willing to help 👍🏻
@Brushstroke Painting Guides your guides are helping me no end and I love watching them. I will send you some pics once done.
Thank you for taking time out to respond.
Ultra Smurfs ,
1) Open the bin , 2) Dump the Smurf , 3) Pick a proper chapter , ~ Job done ~

Haha
Just finished the Prospero Burns book and gotta say, wolves kick ass 🐺
There are no wolves on Fenris 😉
This looks incredible! Nice and crisp paint job! Would love to see a tutorial on carcharodons aka “space sharks”.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Carcharodons is a scheme I’m going to do for sure. I love the cool freehand tribal markings. Just need to decide on a kitbash to use for it.
love the color and the clean and sharp look of the paintjob! great work! courage and honour brother! :)
Thanks man 🤛🏻
Great Guide, purchased myself some new paints and Captain Uriel Ventris. All ready to go, hoping to get the same fantastic results and finish. Been a while so fingers crossed. Would be very interested in seeing your guide to painting the new Cadians...
Nice one man! 👍🏻
Please let me know how it goes and what you think to the result 🙂
Yes … been watching that process on insta and waiting for this vid yewwww 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Nice one, hope you enjoy it
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides always enjoy your break downs … your minis are always soooo smooth must be those Artis opus brushes 🤔
Great video I actually used this exact same recipe for Ultramarine blue on my primaris librarian I did a few weeks ago. The pro acryl colours are great! Could of done with this tutorial would of made things a lot easier!
Great minds hey?
Pro Acryls are really lovely colours. The blue is just so punchy, I love it
Brilliant tutorial mate.its given me confidence to do my first marine ...and it's coming on great thanks to punchy blues. Keep up the great work 👍
That’s awesome man. Really glad you found the guide helpful. Would love to see some final pics when your done 👍🏻
How do I upload photos to your channel 🤔
@@paulbrickell5660 oh you may need to message me on Insta or Facebook
Yeh that’s good the comic book look works. Really well. Very nice painting. The paints look pretty good
Thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks, been looking for a more bright tone comic style scheme for Ultramarines.
Bought the three Monument blues. Hope they give you a kick back for referring me lol.
Nice one 👍🏻
You’ll have to let me know how you get on, I’d love to see the results.
If you bought them from Element Games using the links, then yes, they are supporters of the my channel and do give a small amount for each purchase I generate for them.
Thanks again for checking out my video
Do love that very clean effect on the marine. Would love to see your kitbashed attempt at a soul drinker, where they are chaos mutated loyalists.
Thank you
Oooo! Not seen Soul Drinkers before, they look great
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides Technically they rebelled from the imperium but love the emperor and technically follow Tzeentch without knowing it and have picked up 'emperor gifted' mutations. Like the chapter master has spider legs, another is almost a topless khorn berserker with his hands replaced by chainswords and massive regeneration. Others had tentacles, scales and various other mutations.
Man, I really like your skin tones. So much cleaner without the Bugman's Glow base. Looks great.
Thank you.
I find bugmans a bit too dark for shadows too.
I prefer a softer look like this
Your color choices are exceptional! I think I rewatched the video 15 times. I absorbed it and put it into practice: amazing. Thanks for your videos. PS: Do you want to try Robote Guilliman with these styles? 😎🙏
Damn that is clean as fuck.
Haha thank you 🤟
Gotta steal this for Dire Avengers. I wanna do my Aspect Warriors in the older 90's style.
Great idea, go for it!
Please do let me know how you get on 👍🏻
Looks fantastic love that blue.. could you do a grey knight next pls .
Thank you
That’s spooky, I’ve just been looking at the new box of Grey Knights.
They look fun to do.
The video is likely to be a Sigmar dragon and I have an Ork jet car to paint in the new year, but I think Grey Knights would make a good next chapter to do. 👍🏻
Never played a game of 40k, but I'm starting to collect a few minis that I think I want to paint as void tridents, this will definitely help a ton
Thanks for checking out my channel. Just checked Void Tridents and you may find this blue too bright (unless that's what you're going for?)
If so, I did a darker blue guide a few years back for Crimson Fists which you may find of use too
instagram.com/p/Bv3TjdcH0Sr/?
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides oh kantor looks like it would work well, I will have to look through citadels catalog for some options.
@@Cryptid9 kantor blue is a nice paint. It would be great for Void Tridents and with nuln oil you can make it as dark as you like 👍🏻
That’s an amazing paint job, probably one of the cleanest minis I’ve seen. I did notice that the blue seems a little powdery, almost textured. As much as you said you thinned your paints to get a smooth finish I can’t help but see a rough texture to that blue. I don’t see it on the citadel paints though. Is this a property of pro acryl paints? Do you notice it, or is it just me?
Thank you
I know exactly what you mean and it’s only on camera that it’s visible. Even under heavy magnification after then light spray of varnish was applied it all disappeared.
I think it’s more my primer than the paint to be honest, as I get the same with citadel paints.
One of the many draw backs of filming so zoomed in I fear
A very nice blend of the good old 2nd edition Ultramarines paint scheme and the best of the new color schemes. I like it alot.
I am not sure if a zenithal highlight is really required when you plan on painting very solid layers over them anyway.
Thank you
No, the zenithal isn’t essential for this scheme. It just helps with the camera picking up details in the video.
For the bright result it does need a light grey or white primer though
We March for Macragge! Courage and Honour!
Amazing Video, found your space wolves article and would like if you could do a video demonstration of that if possible :)
Thanks man
I’ve been trying to start with vids for colour schemes I’ve not done a guide on yet.
That said, I do enjoy painting Space Wolves, so maybe I could do something a bit cool like Njal Stormcaller? 🤔
Thanks for checking out my channel though
Is Calgar Blue the GW Color taht fits? Great job btw!
This is what I been looking for but wish I could achieve with my already extensive paint what blue would you recommend as a substitute from gw or army painter
I really like this. I would like to see or know what colors you would use for Salamanders.
Thank you
You’re in luck, I did a Salamanders video a little while ago.
th-cam.com/video/sJvEzDKPkMw/w-d-xo.html
Love the blue, exactly the same colour i am about to paint my blue boys.
The macragge blue is too dark for me i enjoy the brightness and making them pop.
If you could do more marines, especially about doing plasma and swords that would be legit fire.
Hey chieftain did you end up painting your army like this?
Great video mate, superb. Can I check where you got your paint pot racks? Thanks
Thank you
I got them a few years ago on eBay.
I think you can get similar on Amazon these days.
Search for Nail Polish Display Racks 👍🏻
Do you have any suggestions about color convert blue pro arcy to citadel color
Really enjoy the vibrant colors. I prefer my models to be colorful like this, I don't care much for the muted "realistic" faded colors a lot of the other TH-camrs do.
thank you, so glad you like the brighter colour scheme.
it's not easy to do a unique take on Ultramarines, but I just thought this looked really cool and was inkeeping with their lore as well
It makes for a very cool looking army on the tabletop
REALLY pops
Love the process especially since i just started with this hobby...how do you keep the paint from drying on the brush...just working quickly or is there a specific thing im not doing?
Thank you, really glad you enjoyed the video.
So, the secret to keeping your brush from drying out is “brush management”
Give my paintbrush basics video a watch, it should explain it for you and more besides 👍

Do you know if Blood for the blood god from GW is any good for purity seals?
Oh cool, just what we need! Yet another Space Marine painting tutorial!
Always open to suggestions for future videos. So, if there is something you would be interested in seeing let me know :)
Really like this, do you think using drakenhof nightshade or Basilicanum Grey as a recess shade would change the look too much?
Thank you
If you’re still using the ProAcryl Blue rhen using a different shade for the recesses shouldn’t change things too much.
I would say though that drakenhof is very strong so I would at least thin it 50;50 with medium first
These really help I started warhammer in 2021 September it is fun and these really help(I make lots of mistakes I'm 9)
Thank you
Really great to hear my videos are helping you.
Don’t worry about making mistakes, that’s all part of the process.
I still make plenty of mistakes, but it’s OK because I just try and do better next time.
It’s by making mistakes we learn.
Stick with it and keep having fun 🙂
Be great to see your take on Black Templars or Sisters of Battle
Good call on the Sisters of Battle. I have a set which I’m planning on painting soon. Need to decide which scheme to go with first. I’m thinking the white armour would make a good video.
For Templars, I did a picture guide a while back (before I started my TH-cam) so that might be useful for you

No problem man
There is a chapter in this video, "painting handles" which shows how I do it
th-cam.com/video/KxF8t6k39cE/w-d-xo.html
Hi I have watched several videos and they all have been excellent. I noticed you painted wearing gloves. Is that to protect the finish from oils from your fingers, or is there another reason.
Thank you
Yes, the main reason is to prevent oil from my skin getting on the paint and I’ve noticed they make a big difference.
They also allow me to test my paint consistence on the back of my hand without me permanently having paint on my hand 🤣
I'm not even an Ultramarines fan but this is spectacular. Excellent tutorial. You should post more often.
Thank you, really appreciated 🙏🏻
Really glad you enjoyed it.
I would love to post more, but unfortunately making videos takes a surprising amount of time to do and my channel just isn’t big enough to do it fulltime.

Hello, I'm new to the hobby. Would you recommend to prime my Ultramarines in blue or is black (zenithal) the better way? Thank you in advance.
Hi
Welcome to the hobby 👍
So, if you’d like a darker finish to your ultramarines, then use a black primer.
If you’re wanting a brighter vibrant blue then a pale grey or white primer is better.
Of course, if you can find a primer which is the exact shade of blue you’re going for then using that will be the quickest route of them all.
Zenithal of light grey over black is great as a best of both worlds. As it will help show where the shadows and highlights need to be. If you keep your layers thin you can even let that pre-shading show though by applying washes over the top
More details in this video
th-cam.com/video/mADYQQOH9a8/w-d-xo.html
So, it’s all about choices.
My advice would be to do some quick tests to see which result you prefer before committing yourself to one option
Can you do a tutorial on how you mount separate parts when painting a sub assembly? Thanks
Thanks for watching
The details of how I mount parts for sub assembly painting is in my preparing minis video

Hope it helps
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides thank you so much
Great video, awesome clean result. Perhaps I’m going mad though, but you don’t show the pupils being painted in?
Thanks man. You're not going mad, it does appear I haven't included that step. Really sorry about that.
They are painted in using Rhinox Hide by painting a vertical line down the middle of each eye and then tidying back up with the skintone once dry.
I am planning a video on just face painting, so I'll be sure to include the step in that one. Thanks for checking out my channel
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides No need to apologise! Rhinox hide is a good shout, thanks!
How did you get such a smooth coat with the Pro Acryl Blue? I’m following this tutorial for my marines and the blue just seems to come out with a blotchy texture. I feel like I make sure not to go over the same spot twice in one coat, blow dry the model in between coats, and thin my paint, but it still comes out rough.
It’s difficult to know without seeing how you’re applying it but I would suggest trying the process without the blow drying to see if that improves the result.
It will obviously take longer but it could be that by accelerating the drying of the paint is making it clump rather than dry evenly.
Other than that, I’m not really sure what else it could be.
Not shaken enough perhaps? Or could it have split on your palette during the session?
even with a white undercoat, my pro acryl blue doesnt look anywhere near as light as this, im wondering if the video edit has adjusted colours or did you add white into your initial blue base layer? i find i have to mix quite a bit of white in until my blue resembles this
that's odd, as the proacryl blue I used was straight out the bottle and just thinned with some water.
My painting lights will make it a little lighter I guess but the final photos are how the end mini looked for me in person.
I will check to see if there's any chance they do another blue which could be sold as "blue" too
Really sorry about that
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides i think i might just have a dodgy blue from them possibly
How did you do the dusty faded effect on the legs?
Oh, that was done as part of the basing process.
It’s just some pale grey weathering powder drybrushed onto the feet and legs and sealed with some matte varnish
pls do a deathshroud terminator and nurgle base
Deathguard are something I've been meaning to do for a while. I dont think I have any deathshroud but may have a Lord of Contagion somewhere I can paint up. Nurgle bases would be fun too. Consider it on the list
Thanks for checking out my channel
What set is this in? I've been thinking of taking up the hobby and this just pushed me over the edge.
Thanks for watching, really great to hear this has inspired you to get into the hobby.
This particular mini was sold separately but I believe it is not available anymore.
They do regularly come up on eBay though, so keep an eye out for “Lieutenant Amulius”
Hope that helps 👍

Please how do you put the head in this stick for pain the head? Do you use glue?
For all the pieces I'm painting, I drill a small hole in them with a hand drill and then super glue them to short pieces of paperclip.
You can see more of this process in my Preparing Minis for Painting vid

@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides love you, thanks so much!!♥️🙌
No problem
Do you use the same brush for metallics and non metallics?
During a painting session no, I wont use the same brush for metallics and non metallics.
I also have separate water pots for metallic / non metallic too.
At the end of each session I clean all the brushes with brush soap and then I will happily use the brush I painted metallics with for non metallics next session. If that makes sense?
I know some people who have brushes which they have exclusively for metallics, but I'm not that organised :)
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides do you use a synthetic for the metallics. I normally use kilo sky but for metallics use a synthetic but not had much luck with finding the right one
Ment kolonsky
I use kolinsky brushes for everything to be honest. I know a lot of people say metallics will ruin them too quickly etc etc but I just don’t get on with synthetics. So, I go with what I enjoy painting with
What model is this?
In this video I am painting a limited edition Lieutenant Amulius primaris space marine mini from the Games Workshop's Warhammer 40K range.
Will you do LOTR miniatures?
Absolutely
I’m just starting a Balrog project at the moment as it happens.
What would you like to see?
How tall is the figure?
28mm scale
Looks amazing but it is to perfect, needs scuffs bare metal , bullets marks and claw marks . looks to clean
Thank you.
Of course you’re right and
battle damage and weathering is an option that can be added at the end.
I have a battle damage video in the pipeline as it happens.
In fact, now you’ve said this I may use this mini as the starting point for that video 👍🏻
And Please More middle Earth 😊
I'll stick to deeper blue like maccrage.
"Ok so that's looking pretty good now" Then it cuts to the head looking completely different. Pffff.
Great paint job but why do so many people paint space marines as if they just got fitted for brand new armor. Shouldn’t the armor look like it’s been through some battle? I don’t like the way Games Workshop’s paint job looks because it’s too clean. Just not my cup of tea. I’ve always visualize them in middle of a battle.
Thank you.
So, I think it’s just a painting choice. The lore says that the servitors repair and condition their armour like new for the start of each battle and many chapters pride themselves on caring for their armour as a mark of honour and respect to their Emperor.
Of course, during battle they take damage etc and will look beaten and weathered.
So, it’s entirely up to the gamer if they want their army to be painted ready for battle or in the thick of it.
I’m terms of painting guides like this, I took the option to show how to paint the basic chapter colour scheme and then if the viewer wants they could then go on and add battle damage and weather on top. Hope that makes sense 🙂
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides your technique is great and I wish I could paint to that kind of quality. I’ve just started last year after looking for reason to get into the hobby. Thanks to the Lockdown and COVID for giving me the opportunity 😅.
I guess I picture them in the GW and Black Library art work where they look like they are in a middle of life or death battle. Anyway thanks for answering my neewbie question. Keep up the great work!
The Calgar comic artwork is so bad lol
almost every guide is useless to me because I refuse to buy gw paints lol need to figure out conversions
This is a good place to start
