This is definitely my new go-to for painting Word Bearers. I've seen every video n YT on how to paint Word Bearers, and this is The One. I am also so happy that you explained the differences between Black Templar and Black Legion Contrast paints. I thought it was just me, that Black Templar worked more opaquely on my minis, than one results the other YTubers were getting. I look forward to seeing how you tackle a Death Guard marine.
Great tutorial. I just managed to build 10 Termagants and now really feel the need to start a Word bearer army. If I'm lucky I can start to play in 13th edition 😂
Holy crap that technique looks amazing. I'm just getting back into it and the techniques and paints have come such a long way. I have just been painting and washing my word bearers with word bearers red and agrax earthshade. This technique looks a million times better. I just learnt a lot from this video, thanks. Biggest one being. I think i'm going to love contrast paint!
Great video! I'd love to see a tutorial on painting older, slightly cruder minis to make them look as good as possible- I'm specifically thinking the AOS spider riders would be a good choice, those things are rough!
Loving these tutorials, you deserve more views! On a side note, I saw a typhus you painted with contrast layering Mantis green. Im not sure what contrast layering is, do you have a vid on the teqchinqe? If not, would be great to see some deathguard!
I loved this! Thank you so much… I have a whole box of these things to paint, and was not looking forward to all of the trim! I do love the full miniature from start to finish tutorials-thank you so much
Thank you for your video. It is very well explained. I have been making terrain for a friend and he has gave me some chaos marines .I have not played warhammer for 25 years .Good to get back into it .
Really like the functional fixes you do for correcting hiccups in painting through your vids I find a lot of value in that off tangent "Hey if you run into this likely problem here's how to bring it back to the scheme" thing you do in your vids Darcy.
Aw well thanks! Glad you appreciate it. I've heard from a lot of people they're worried they'll "mess up a mini." I just wanna show that unless you drop it in glue or acid...things are fairly fixable 😄
@@DarcyBonoCreations Oh absolutely, I've had a few occasions painting where I've done something that didn't turn out the way I hoped and wasn't sure what to do next. I've ran into that problem a few times painting my 1000 sons with a metallic blue from turbo dork they look great, but it's a slog to get all the trim done without running amok of the blue.
I'd love to have been there to see your face when you realised his toe was missing 😂 ''Oh balls... ah well, I'll just stick a nice big tuft here, no one will ever know...''
Awesome scheme! I'm thinking of starting a WB army myself and digging through painting tips for them. Your armor is the best one I've seen, so different from the others. I absolutely love it!
That burgundy-copper color came out beautiful! Any chance you would ever paint a Chaos Knight Abominant? It's one of my favorite models and I need to work up the courage to put paint on it, but now that I've found your channel, I kinda want to see what YOU would do with one. Keep up the great painting!
Hey thank you! I'm sorry to disappoint, but if there's one thing I don't enjoy painting, it's vehicles (especially big walkers). I've actually turned down commissions before because they just really aren't my thing 😅.
Yaaaas! The best legion!! Also, if you want to stick with their gold/brass trim, you can replace the first step with Skeleton Horde Contrast. Since it's a warm yellow tan, the red should go over it nicely when you do the rest of the armor.
Starting a random Word Bearer this weekend and love the way this came out. Always wanted to try to get that sort of Angels of Death metallic armor going, this seems like a great way to do it. Just need to get some paper plates...
the weapons are my favorite part to paint because I paint them in gaudy colors like the 90s bright red or green. really cool technique for the lens in green. I enjoyed that! will try it out
This was awesome, I absolutely love it but I have a few notes. Firstly, leadbelcher spray as a zenithal over chaos black might help this, the chaos black coat will negate a lot of the hydrophobic effects you get with lead belcher spray. Secondly, the first section should probably end with a sarcastic comment along the lines of 'and that's it for our iron warriors tutorial. And third and finally, your 'notes' on the consistency, opacity and hue of colours is frankly perfect, everything that needed to be said was said and I congratulate you on the completeness of your commentry, I really appreciate it.
HYDROPHOBIC! That's the word I was looking for 😆. Thank you! And that's too funny because I actually had originally recorded "And now he's part of the Iron Warriors." at the part you suggested, but then deleted it because I thought it looked a bit too clean for them 😄. And thank you so much for watching and for your amazing feedback!
Good timing on this as I just started painting my first Tyranid army and was looking for a good way accent their purple chiton. Was just looking at different ways to get an orange highlight and now I'm convinced to try flesh tearers red and iyanden yellow like you recommend here. Looking forward to seeing the blended orange effect.
I actually have one kitbashed and awaiting painting (eventually) 😅. I do have a tutorial on painting purity seals already if you're interested: th-cam.com/video/5al4Ggf3sXY/w-d-xo.html
Awesome video! Would love to see your take on a metallic purple scheme (say, pre heresy Emperor's Children). I've tried a few methods myself but I'm far from an expert so would love to see how you'd approach it
The simplicity of your techniques and your mastery of applying them is always great to see, and encourages my learning-to-paint self to give things a try. When do you choose to use Lahmian Medium over Contrast Medium? I don't fully understand the difference in their application, but I would have assumed that you'd default to Contrast Medium when using contrasts. You mention that Lahmian diffuses more... is there more to it than that?
Never really thought about collecting or painting Word Bearers - but after watching this fantastic video, it kinda had me wanting to give it a try - fantastic video - subbed
It was nice to see something that wasn’t another Imperial Space Marine. Maybe try one of the Zeno’s races like Eldar or drukhari? But thank you, very informative and easy to follow
A metallic primer that doesn't make shades just wick right off? I need a can of that stuff! Love what Contrast can do with metallics. This looks awesome and is relatively simple to do.
A little note, doing the weapon case and if you use a silver as the base just stipple the black on. You get a nice, a little interesting and worn look in the black and this metallic vibe. Similarly if you just pain the gun black give it a veeeery light mix of black and silver drybrush and you get a neat little highlighted and used look. :)
Citadel Screaming Bell is close (sorry didn't know that at the time of the video). It' more reddish instead of orange copper, it's just not quite as vibrant as Huge Minis.
Looks really fantastic, just like original Word Bearers colour scheme. I work with AP Speedpaints and I think the recipe would be Slaughter Red + Hive Dweller Purple or Purple Swarm (probably HDP) and a drop of Speedpaint Medium. I must try this now. I'd gladly watch you do Death Guard Chaos Marine with this technique (with a lot of vomit & slime).
That mini looks gorgeous and I might give the technique a try. There are enough unpainted models in my Word Bearers army 😅 I wonder though, anything you would do different on a Rhino?
I'd airbrush on the copper, but for chaos, stippling works just as well. You'd have to either airbrush or be careful applying the 2nd coat of the glaze. Leviathan Purple spreads evenly over smooth surfaces but since it still has Flesh Tearers Red in it, you may run into streaking. I did it on a Helbrute and it was no issue, but its panels are still much smaller than a rhino's.
I tried it on a Hellbrute and it worked well. If you were doing anything with really large flat surfaces like a tank, you'd probably wanna use an airbrush for the second glaze.
Please, please, if you have a moment, respond to my question! How would you go about painting Word Bearer vehicles that match the armor? I just returned from Adepticon and my whole team followed your paint scheme (we love it!!!), and while some of them painted their vehicles to be a flat, non-metallic red, I wonder if such a burgundy-on-copper-and-silver effect is possible on the flat surfaces of, say, a Rhino?
I'm trying to learn to paint too but it sounds like it would work as long as you adjusted the highlights and shadows accordingly? Might be a duller sheen than on the armor but easily more widespread
Hey sorry for the delay. I posted the Adepitcon mini giveaway and unfortunately your question got buried under the entry comments in my notifications 😅. Glad your team liked the pain scheme. So you definitely can use the same process BUT you'll want to use an airbrush to apply the glaze over the copper so you don't have obvious brush strokes on the large flat panels. Huge Minis does make an air paint version of the copper as well so that's an option instead of doing a ton of stippling.
Hello! Thank you for the video, the result is just astonishing. Exactly what I was looking for. I would like to ask if there is any difference between old vallejo spray ans the new one? I cant find a new one in my area, so I am thinking about the old version of the spray.
I was wanting to use a mica powder and matte medium to spray the power armour, but not sure if thatll be too impercise and muck up all the finer bits and bobs
Amazing work and great tutorial!! I'm a new subscriber... How can i highlight flats panel (like shoulders) for black legions chaos marines? Thank you. Cheers from Italy. Roby
Thanks for subscribing! Oh I have painted a whole army of black Tau so I definitely know that one. I used a small makeup brush (an e.l.f concealer brush or smudge brush for larger surfaces and dryrbrush/stippled a dark charcoal like Vallejo German Grey, Vallejo Heavy Charcoal or if youre using Citadel, Corvus Black. Makeup brushes are ideal for creating an easy gradient compared to traditional chisel tip drybrushes. There's an example of using them on smoother rounded surfaces, here. th-cam.com/video/vMP4qpInpRc/w-d-xo.html There's also an example of painting Black Armor with Contrast Paints here: th-cam.com/video/JvQjhXezdic/w-d-xo.htmlsi=HKdwW14nxDKwfHE-
I would love to try this out, just wanted to ask one question. The spray you use, is there a difference between the black Vallejo can and the white one? Are they the same thing, or are there different formulations
I'm 95% certain they're different formulation. I say that because the previous metal primer was no where near as fine mist as these and Contrasts ran off it (it could be I just had a bad can though). The black cans are the newest ones, the white are the original formula.
I learned something new about coloration over a metallic base. What do you think about hairspray over the metallic and under the color coat to let you 'chip' away the paint for some of the weathering effect?
The following kit is the easiest. For the traditional acrylic paints, put an agitator ball in the pot and several drops of flow improver and shake it up before transferring it. The Contrast Paints and shades you can just pour right into the dropper bottles. hugeminis.com/product/dropper-bottle-transfer-kit/
Hello. Thank you very much for your method! I have already painted terminators, chosen, MoE, and chaos lord with it. Now finishing Forgefiend and lord discordant. One question, which varnish (if any) to you recommend? I tried Vallejo satin and Vallejo metal gloss with it. Satin dulls the metal trim, and gloss look too unrealistic, making reflective shadows, though my brush application might be too thick. So what would be your choice?
I would love a guide to Emperors Children and Iron hands

Great video. More just like this one, please. This red-copper came out great.
Word bearers are one of my favorite legions, only iron warriors are better in my eyes.
This is beautiful.
👍👍 this is awesome! I had a similar recipe planned for my Gravis Salamanders, it would basically be the same process but with greens 😃
Great tutorial.

Great result from a simple technique. Really liking the bronze aspect showing through.
Thank you for this great guide. I have wanted a different method than just paint flesh tearers red and this is perfect!
I’m usually not a huge fan of candied color for armor but this looks incredible, fantastic job!
Wow this really looks like Word Bearer from novel covers. ❤
Excellent work, Darcy! Contrast paints over metallics has a neat effect, I should try this sometime.
This is gorgeous, and seems quite easy. Thanks for the tips!
