Fantastic video , great content, it’s so nice to see Raptors becoming mainstream. They’re now even supported by GW transfers. Thank you for inspiring work.
Very cool to see one of the lesser known chapters to get a video, especially in the grimdark painting style. If I may be so rude: I'd love to see you do the Exorcists. I just subscribed to your channel and am looking forward to your next videos
Great work. One tip if I may, prior to washes, varnish using gloss instead of matte as you do in this video, as washes and oil paints flow into the recessed areas and details much easier over gloss than they do over matte. (There is less surface tension with gloss) You can always give it a coat of matte varnish after the washes. It may just make your cleaning of the washes stage a little easier. 👍🏼 cheers!
@@robp5141you’re right though, a gloss varnish before the wash is perfect to help direct the wash into the appropriate areas, and it can always be dulled down later after all the final details with a nice protective matte varnish
So nice! I wonder where the raptors should pad is from...? 3d printed? OR bought. Eighter way, do you have a link the file or the shop? Cool paint sceme with the base green. Really nice man!
One technique I started doing (more so on fully armored models since cloth isn’t shiny lol) is I will varnish the armor with a gloss spray let it fulled dry. Then add decals or any faces or additions that aren’t metal to the model and final step is to spray it with a matte finish. This gives the models armor a more muted sheen to it that can make your models armor look genuinely metallic without being stupid and tacky in contrast. A nice added effect is it forces the light to naturally blend whatever lighting shading you’ve painted on
Also have you tried priming them with a dark brown instead of black? Just curious. Over all tho this is now my official raptors painting tutorial for my models! Great video! I Subscribed and even hit the bell!
Thats one way to do it! I personally don't like shiny armor, its just no really my thing so i don't use gloss varnishes that much. But that is a interesting idea I a may try it for myself to see how it turns out! Thanks for the suggestion!
@@stephenrichardson8529 Black has always worked out best for me, I guess i have a fear of other spray paints not working as intended so i always just go for black 😅
I get that. I think it can give a good contrast for sure to certain chapters depending on their colors giving the armor itself a very light sheen and then adding your dirt and mud and rust with a matte
That's a nice Raptor! I've been wanting to try out some enamel products and other oil paints but the white spirits tend to make me a fair bit woozy and tired a bit too long after I use them. So I think I'll have to stick to the casual grimdark liquids, Nuln Oil and Agrax Earthshade. You might already know this, but VMC Refractive Green is also a solid dark military green, it has become my go to base color for schemes like this one :)
Rust on the helmet did a great job of achieving separation, color contrast with the blue lenses is really nice too! I think your bases could use a bit of spackle to cover up the cork sheet's.. sheetyness? not a word but you get the idea.
Excellent video, I really like the military color scheme of the raptors and would love to see a tutorial for the raised base which had exquisite detail! Noob question, but what is the purpose of coating with maxx matt twice?
I painted some dark green Tau models like this going for a Master Chief armor type look and they just look black on the tabletop without adding some extreme edge highlighting. I am curious what this would look like without studio lighting.
Thank you for this video. I'm new to Warhammer and painting minis in general. I plan to use this style to paint my first minis. It's also super helpful that you did one of the Raptors minis because their chapter is what I've decided to start with. Where did you get the miniature, or did you print it yourself? Great job!
I clear coat my base colours before adding oil based washes as well; just peace of mind if I have to apply multiple oil finishes and solvents. Also, make-up sponges from dollar stores are great for removing and working oils. They're super absorbent, you can cut them to different sizes, and the best part is they don't leave lint behind like cotton buds can.
Raptors don't have a set, that's why you can't find them. You'll have to get a generic Astartes set and decorate them yourself. It's pretty easy for Raptors though, they don't deviate much from generic marines. Stick some bandoliers and pouches on them and you're set. Most Marine sets come with some pouches anyway, and there's loads of third party decorations for sale.
Wow… I don’t think I’ve ever seen a miniature so detailed…

Best painting tutorials on the tube and excellent grim dark aesthetic
Great tutorial, really detailed and with really impressive results
Great work. Definitely using this for my raptors.
Love the work you do! Keep it up man!
you should paint some Space Marines eliminators in a raptor scheme. I've been seeing a lot of DIY ghillie suits on raptors and they look so sweet!
I've yet to paint my Raptors so thanks for this guide :)

Except you get a completely different effect, and lose a lot of the filtrering from the washes. What he's doing is just fine.
@@aanler okay man thanks for the tip 👍🏼 I’m relatively new to miniature painting but I’ve been painting larger scale custom figures for a good while.

I'd be really interested to know where the pauldron with the 3D Raptor logo on it came from.
Really looking forward to your take on the Death Korps of Krieg!
Looks pretty badass to me brother lol great video!
Great work, quick question where did you get the Raptor shoulder pad? I'm sick of hand painting the chapter badge lol
YOU SIR! put all the paints in :D bless you🎉
Great figure I will use this method to paint my raptors but I will change it up a bit to make it unique
So nice! I wonder where the raptors should pad is from...? 3d printed? OR bought. Eighter way, do you have a link the file or the shop? Cool paint sceme with the base green. Really nice man!
Where did you get the helmet? No slits looks awesome!!
Hey, where did you get the shoulder piece for the Raptor's emblem?
whered you get that shoulder decals, is it me or it is relief!??

Yeah, ill be honest, i didn't put as much work into the base as i should have lol, but thank you for you comment!

I've been on the fence about trying my hand at painting minis. This gives me the umph to take the plunge though
@Quinton Watson how do you thin down your paints? I.e. what do you use as a paint thinner and what ratio?
Can you start giving us an idea of the consistency of the paint when you are using it? For instance, are you thinning the Iron Warriors paint at all?
Where did you get the raptor pauldrons from?

Where did you get the shoulder insignia?
What is the head that you use?
🔥🔥🔥
Hey!
What helmet did you use here? It’s awesome!
Hey! So I 3D printed off this helmet that I got the STL's for, but I have seen some sellers here and there on Etsy sell similar helmets!
@@QuintonWatsonDesignwould you be able to link it?
Been looking for a helmet like this for ages 🙂
I see raptors and I press like
Cool

What would happen if it was based in brown instead of black?
That'd be fine, I just use black cause that's all I use for a lot of stuff
@QuintonWatsonDesign I have some rhinox hide equivalent spray and I was thinking of stippling on the green to get a weathered look in the recesses
Anyone know where to get the Raptors? I want to build an army with them (I’m new to W40K) but I can’t find their sets anywhere online

@@theak1910 That would explain it! Thanks so much!
Nah mate looks sweet, if I had one nit pick base is to a little bit to much height wise.
Please Paint a Iron Warrior
I hope my models never see this video haha
I'm looking for a solid White Scars grim dark. Seem a few, but not to your level. Would really like to see if you can do a white and red in grim dark.
