Thank you for showing how you fix mistakes. This is something that is so often overlooked in tutorials that everyone will go through. Being able to see exactly what touching up entails, what wicking away ink looks like - these are very important for building confidence at dealing with brush-slips.
Thanks! Yeah, mistakes are inevitable, so you may as well learn how to fix them :)
I really appreciate that you actually demonstrate how you mix paint and fix errors, also the paints you use are easy enough to match with what you have.
I think I'll be sticking around for these videos
That's what I like to hear! :)

I honestly can't believe more channels haven't done speed painting videos. The problem that 99.995% of people in the hobby face is too many minis and too little time to paint. Tutorials like this help get more painted minis to the table. Great job!
Exactly! I think I've painted more models since making this channel than ever before, haha.
I agree and I love these speed painting videos. Sure, some of my models I want to spend hours on to look their best, but the majority of my stuff I just want to get to the table and look halfway decent. These speed painting videos are perfect for that and I can't wait to see what else comes out of this channel.
I totally agree i play warhammer 40k for 2 years now and i couldn't finish any army past 2 troops and 1 HQ because painting them took to long and now i have seen how quick black legion can be painted i am sold and really want it done before oktober when me and my friends make a trip to warhammerworld.
@Gareth they dont look bad although i would probably do a few things differently. however them done like this in a reasonable amount of time and effort will lead to a fully painted project and will be a much better experience then trying to paint a whole army on too high standards to finish.
I love these videos and the channel, but quite a few people paint for the sake of painting, which may be why there aren’t many speed painting videos, as some people enjoy painting and spend hours on it
Lots of folks making “speed painting” videos that really describe high quality tabletop painting. I love those videos but they aren’t “speed painting.” Thanks for your truth in advertising. I have been painting for a year for Star Wars Legion and while I love it, it takes me a while. I wouldn’t have dreamed of buying something like Blackstone Fortress just because I wouldn’t get a chance to play it - it would take me a year to paint everything. But your videos are making me reconsider.
Woah mama, that's a serious comment! Thank you for the kind words my friend, I'm really glad you're enjoying the format and content. Stay tuned for more! :)
As a person that has just started the hobby I really appreciate that when you say thin your pint in to a glaze you don’t just say that but gives us amounts that are effective to follow! Thanks!
This is the best way I've found to actually put a fully painted (and good looking) black legion force on the battlefield. The combination of easily achievable results in a reasonable amount of time (even for a slow painter like me) is unbeatable. Well done and thanks.
I like the way that there are a few bits of over painting in these tutorials. It gives hope to the hamfisted among us that we too can end up with cool looking minis like these.
Exactly! Things don't need to be perfect, they just need to be DONE! :)
I absolutely love the black power armour and the metallic details. It's a great look for Black Legionnaires.
Thanks Jacob!
This mirrors my technique eerily closely that I've gotten to over around 6 months worth of painting, I try to attempt or refine a more advanced technique with each HQ or full troop box and my skills have vastly improved utilizing simple but useful skills such as these.
While I mostly already have these skills, if you are a new painter, these techniques will RAPIDLY accelerate the quality of your minis. Look into a wet palette, that is also a massive game changer.
Thanks mate! I can't use a wet palette unfortunately, my colourblindness makes it impractical.
Just want to say how much I'm enjoying this series. Its great to come across little tricks and techniques that can get these models ready for Blackstone Fortress as quickly as possible.
In the interest of speed, might I recommend painting the adversaries in the order in which they can appear in the game. For example, I think the starting line up is Spindle Drones, Ur-Ghul's, Traitor Guardsmen and Negavolt Cultists. All others crop up later on in the adventure. Just an idea! You have a new subscriber either way :)
Yes yes yes! Truth be told, I started painting these models during my Christmas break, and hadn't played the game yet. When I played it for the first time with my mate, I was like "oh, piss... I've done these in the wrong order", haha. Anyway, after the Chaos Beastmen, I'll do the Negavolt Cultists and the Traitor Guard!
Haha, I totally understand. There is the order is "should" be done to get it on the board, but then there is the order of "but this model is cooler and I must paint it now!". I know I've fallen victim to it many times
@@MidwinterMinis tbh, I feel the series is well sequenced already in that the simpler techniques are introduced at the start before the ‘heroes’ are introduced. Thanks so much. I really appreciate the effort you put in here
First time warhammer painter and this series on BSF has helped me massively. Cheers 😁
I ended up painting my whole chaos army. going overboard on the grey and white made them look different, but i like it. such an effective guide, thnx.
Nice! You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it :)
Well done. I like videos about speed painting because they are about saving time, and time is the one resource we cannot get back.
Profound, but true! Glad you like the videos :)
I love this series. Havn’t painted a mini since 1999, but I’ve bought the paints and made a start on the Ur-guls thanks to you!
Yas! Good luck Giles, welcome back to the hobby :)
Midwinter Minis. Right, I’m up to date and they are by far the best looking minis I’ve ever painted. Thanks so much! Looking forward to the beastmen video!
I'm going to watch this video about 50 times in preparation for starting a Black Legion army for when the new Shadowspear box comes out!!
Those new Chaos models look pretty awesome, eh?
Found this channel by chance. Glad I did!!! Love the tips and your voice is better then most audio book narrators I listen to!
Thank you John! I'm waiting for Audible to come knocking at the door, but all quiet so far, haha
Midwinter Minis
I got into the hobby about 13 years ago with War Machine. Then I stopped for a couple years and now I’m back in. They’re just doesn’t seem to be anything more relaxing after a long day of work then building miniatures and then painting them up. Keep the videos coming!
Thank you for these great videos. This is my first experience with miniatures and I'm following along. I'm more use to building wooden models and one tip I have (although you may already know this) prior to sanding the bases, I apply a drop of superglue in the divot and add roket powder. This can be sanded down and fills the dent lovely. Used this a lot when filling in gaps in wood. Thanks again and massively looking forward to the next vid.
Thanks for the kind comment, Lee! It's a great tip, occasionally the superglue/baking soda mix can react with certain paints over time, but it's definitely a super-effective filler!
This tutorial is great! Not only will I be following this with my BSF models, but also my upcoming Black Legion army as well! Thank you for this!
The timing worked out well, huh? Glad you enjoyed the video!
Just got my "Blackstone fortress" box today. Started following along in order, and managed to finish first three tutorials. Great stuff. Very emboldening/empowering. Looking forward to using the rest of this tutorial to blitz through the remaining models. Then maybe I'll have the courage to face that " Indomitus" box that's glaring at me..
Am I the only one that keeps being blown away by how simple *AND* effective this scheme is!?? It's amazing. I need to go look for more black legion models just so I can do this again. :D
We always clean our weapons, and polish and shine our armor during any down time. (LOL) Thanks for the video, it really helps. Being fully color-blind and seeing the listed paint colors and washes.
I've probably watched this video over a dozen times. I'm planning on doing a space marine kill team and this video pretty much nails what I want to do with them. Once again Guy, thank you for putting out videos that makes the hobby more approachable and far less terrifying.
This really helps with black armour in general thank you
It's nice to see how you do things as it's more instructive than other videos, I started painting when I bought the first LOR boxed set so it's nice to see someone showing how to paint so that you can play rather than up to Golden Demon standards
Exactly! This way, you can play your game, without the urge to kill people that touch your display-quality models ;)
I think drybrushing is now my favorite technique. Thanks for the tutorial!
This series is fantastic. Great tips/techniques well presented and easy to follow. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Gordon!
You’ve given some really good tips here. They really do look amazing! And it seems like I don’t need a million colors like a lot of tutorials suggest.
Literally mostly black, haha. Glad you enjoyed it!
BEST tutorial i have seen so far, by using basic technic, step by step. most people arent art student after all and i find most speed paint video useless except this. With Black legion released in this this month people seek more video like this, subscribe now! Hope u can do more tutorial besides black stone fortress box set.
Hey Leon! Thanks so much for the lovely comment. There will be SO much more beyond Blackstone Fortress, don't worry! :)
Purple glaze for the face to give a deathly visage is a genius idea. Thanks a lot for that!
Easy and effective, my favourite combo! ;)
Catching up on some of your older work! I like this scheme a lot, I'm going to use elements of it for the chaos space marines in the kill team nachmund box set.
Love this perspective and speed. Much easier to follow.
Thanks Matthew! It's pretty irritating having a camera right in front of my face, but I'm glad you appreciate the effort, haha.
Like the way you mixed gold and silver for the trim!
Planning on getting black stone fortress at the end of the month, will be watching these vids a lot. Epic vids. :-)
I usually spray the sprew not entirely just the model parts, and then paint the parts unassembled.
I find it quicker with a better result than painting it assembled.
great the video.
Just subscribed to your channel, I recently started working on a Black Legion army, I've got a Daemon Prince, Abaddon, and 10 CSM so far. This video has really inspired me with what to do with my minis.
Excellent! I'll have a Chaos Marine video coming out this month, so I hope you find it useful!
@@MidwinterMinis I can't wait for it! Hope you're doing well
Glad i stumbled upon your channel. Very easy to follow tips and the results are great. Thanks heaps.
Glad you like our stuff! :)
They models are amazing. Following along, however I dry brushed the lower half blue, then mid section grey, then upper grey/white. Turned out great. Mixing the sliver & gold was a great tip. They turned out great. Again thanks for these easy to follow videos.
I've been playing 40k for about 16 years now, and i've never had the confidence to try my hand at painting my own models, but i think im gonna try some of your methods and finally learn how to do it
10:20 How the hell have I been so stupid not to ever do this????? so simple and obvious now you've pointed it out..
Another fantastic video can’t wait to paint these guys
Thanks Ashley!
Love your channel especially your speed painting. Makes painting seem less daunting.
Thanks Bryan! That's good to hear :)
So nice! Thanks for this cool guide, it inspired my to finally paint my BF miniatures.
In my paint job of black legion I decided to use gold instead gold-metallic for pipes, decorations on armor and weapons, they are really stylish now :)
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that paints black by drybrushing grey over black and washing it to darken it down.
It's a bummer this didn't exist before I painted my ghostkeel. I was struggling on how to do black without having to do edge highlights, (I don't like the look). These look great. It's also great that you show where you messed up and fixed.
Thank you for the tips.
I tell you what, when you're old and grey, lying on your deathbed, you certainly won't look back and regret all the time you COULD have spent edge highlighting, hahaha.
Another awesome video! Even if this is focused on tabletop standart miniatures for this game, there is so many work and much time invested in it. They look all fantastic and are worth it to have a good place in a showcase 😁. All tutorials are great explained and good to realize with own miniatures. Keep it on!
Thanks Artur! Absolutely, I'd much rather have a complete game painted fast to "tabletop standard" than have my beautifully painted hero fighting the grey plastic legion ;)
Fantastic video. This is so helpful.
Fantastic quick paint job. I am getting a little fatigue going through the full set. Will be certain to use this techinque when I get to the marines!
It's no small task! Good luck, I hope these videos make it a bit easier for you :)
tried this scheme on csm from the shadowspear box set, I was a bit heavy handed with the drybrushing so had to do 2 good washes of nuln oil but reasonably happy with the results and lessons leaned for the next batch.
Nice! Yeah, don't be afraid to double-down on the Nuln Oil :)
Some excellent tips. Given me some ideas I can use on other models
I'm sure it'll come in handy for the new box set! :)
Guy just started this series thanks its excellent
Brilliant really inspirational lots of idea's for my projects 😀
the purple flesh tint is inspired. totally nicking that.
I like how you are preparing the glaze by mixing excess water with paint, will try it next time I paint my models
Yeah, of course you can add medium to the mix too to improve the flow, but I'm trying to keep the materials simple in this series :)
Brilliant, as per usual!
You're too kind!
Another great video for beginners and long time amateurs like me haha. I'll be following this tonight.
I've got a feeling "The Guild of Long-Time Amateurs" would have a pretty huge membership. Me included!
@@MidwinterMinis haha you make painting fun again though mate, a lot of the tutorials on youtube are very dry you add little humour in there, it is great! Have you got a Facebook or Instagram I can follow? I can post my poor attempts at following your vids.
Haha, thanks Liam! I only have personal/music pages at the moment, but I might make a MWM profile soon. Watch this space :) You could always shoot me an email with the "business address" in my TH-cam profile.
thanks man, I love your videos, keep going please!
Thank you! :)
Awesome. Though I have to say, the mid-point where the Chaos Marines are just black with light drybrushing (and metallic trims) would also work as a ghostly color scheme. The end result looks great, but it's also less ghostly/scary :)
So, you're saying you're going to make a Ghost Legion? Cool! ;)
Thanks a lot! Thats what kind of content Im looking for, very logical succession of used paints, so there is not that much time to wait in between. Thanks again, liked and subscribed!
That's the kind of comment I look for! ;) Glad you enjoyed the video.
I love this paint sceem so im going to use it on my marines cheers mate
Nice! Good luck Vivian :)
goodlord these look sick
great job
Amazing!
Thanks Sebastien :)
You make amazingly enjoyable videos much love ❤️
I've really been enjoying these videos. Makes painting quickly seem like it's very achievable to get a good look model on the table. Would it be possible to show the paint you are using? Sometimes you do, but often you just reference the color. I know it's ultimately up to the painter to decide, but I'm always curious to see what colors of what brands a painter prefers. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Hi Matt, the recommended paints are in the video description, and I list all the paints I'll be personally using in the first episode of the series :)
Midwinter Minis duh! I should have looked at the notes! Didn't even think of it. I must have not watched these in order when I first came across them. Thanks for the response!
Man I want too see you paint a Word Bearer Space Marine so bad now, I don't even like the Black legion but you did such a great job in this.
Interesting! Interesting! I might add that to my "future episode" list :)
@@MidwinterMinis man I would love this! Whenever I try to paint them I end up with a Red that's just ... It's too Bright. Like I'm painting World Eaters or Blood Angels, or I make it too Dark and it just looks like I dipped the model in a Black Wash. That sweet spot in between eludes me.
It would certainly be a challenge! My eyes don't see red that well, but Penny can hopefully keep me right ;)
Guy - your process would also work Chaos marine squad set and the Chaos figures from the new Nachmund set.
I love your grimdark style, would really love to see you do Deathwatch or Black Templars.
The music is 🔥
nice video with good tips! only thing you could change would be the silver for their armor to gold to represent the black legion. Im painting them too now but i already have painted the ghouls and drones and i’m finishing the guardsmen. Looking forward to more vids!!
Thanks! Yeah, you could obviously keep them traditional Black Legion by just leaving out the silver in the silver/gold mix for the trim, but I think it looks a bit too gaudy for my taste ;)
Midwinter Minis tell you the truth i would make them death guard and i would if they weren’t named as black legion. It’s a shame i already finished the guardsmen and won’t benefit from your videos.
That's not an excuse. Strip them, and paint them again! ;)
Maybe they are black legion deserters and have their own agenda!
Iv been in the hobby for over 20 years and was always intimidated by painting chaos, after painting up my black stone I feel I could do a solid chaos army, and I don’t even care about chaos lol
as for this figures and dry paints from citadel - for medium grey I used Dawnstone (looks very nice) and for white I used Terminatus Stone - it's not exactly white, but looks very good, when you use just a pinch ;)
Yeeeah! I bet those colours would look awesome actually, slightly warmer maybe?
@@MidwinterMinis Dawnstone in my opinion looks exactly the same as medium grey You used, but Terminatus Stone yeah, it keeps it a bit warmer. that's why I sugest to use it a bit less than usual. I always have problem with two things wile painting my minis - to much primer and to much dry paints! ;)
Sounds like you need some... #moistbrushing
Great tutorial man! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it, Cole :)
Going to spend some time when we next get snow and paint away!
Oh man, I love painting when it's miserable outside!
@@MidwinterMinis going to make it much easier to follow your guides too since I just finished transferring all of my citadel paints into dropper bottles
Oh my WORD, that's some serious hobby investment. Bravo!
awesome tutorial, thx!!!
Thank you!
Good video and very nice results!
Some suggestions (for beginners) if I may:
-When thinning your paints to create shades or glazes, use acrylic thinner. If you use water and you have "hard" water at home, it may leave some milky residue akin to coffee stains.
-Paint the physically deeper parts of the model. Example: On Mallex I would paint the cloak first and then the fur. That way, even if you splatter a bit of paint on the fur, you will correct this automatically since you will paint the fur next. This helps you avoid the annoying "patch up process" of going over the model again and fixing paint splatters.
Great tips!
if i ever get abaddon, i might try to use this tutorial to paint him just to see if its feasible
Nice work, great tutorial, and I appreciated and learned from the whole thing.
But I don't care for the red orange you picked for the cloth, just a personal preference thing.
Keep it up, thanks for the videos
Thanks Matthew! Obviously you can use whatever accent colour you like to personalise your own set :)
New sub, nice vid and great technics. Thanks
Cheers :D
i've recently wanted to get back into tabletop, and this channel is what pushed me over the edge. once it's in stock, i plan to buy blackstone fortress and kill team, and eventually get a bunch of kill teams and blackstone expansions. although i'm planning on buying other types of paints than the GW ones due to the tiny amounts you get for what i think aren't great prices. are there any other paints you'd reccomend, ideally with nice equivalents to GW paint colors?
Using a metal colored sharpie can also be a good way to do the metal trims
Yeah, I've been wanting to try out metallic markers for a while...and chrome graffiti pens!
Great video again. I used your tips for the Spindle Drones and Ur-Ghuls...they came out great and I was basically able to finish all 8 in one night...took maybe 90 minutes total...not counting the primer the night before. So now I have the explorers done and 8 enemies. Ill mark this video but think Ill do the Negavolt's next since they are starter enemies as someone mentioned. They seem pretty easy mainly black, silver and then the sickly skin like the GW video shows. Any tips on them? Im thinking prime grey probably...
Thanks! Yeah, as I mentioned in another comment, I realised I've started painting these out of order once I played it for the first time. Next video will be Beastmen, then Negavolt Cultists. Priming grey is a good start, but I'm going to try to make mine quite pale and sickly :)
Great video. I'm painting my Chaos guys with gold trims though, since who doesn't want to fight Gucci Gang as a final boss?
End boss theme: Sam Sparro
Nice wonder if that black armour technique would work for black templars or ravenguard
I think it would work out great! Why don't you try it out? :)
greate video :D I have learned a lot from this series :D
but what the heck is the round thing on mallaxs sholder :P :P
No idea! Maybe he should get checked out by a doctor, it could be malign ;)
Very nice dude, I'm curious about what brushes you used/use?
Great tutorial and glad I found your channel! Seeing a detailed model painted quickly to a high standard is motivating! Question for you. Does adding a glaze medium improve the coverage/flow to glazes and is it worth adding?
You definitely could, but I'm trying to keep this series pretty simple with the painting resources, so I'm just thinning with water :)
Does cleaning your brush on MDF really give a better drybrushing finish than on paper towel?
I find it makes a little bit less paper dust than paper, but not a crazy difference. Paper is fine :)
9:40 Woah, mouldlines!
Don't worry, most of the big ones are removed, the only ones I left were the little ones that aren't really visible at "playing range". We covered removing mold lines in episode 1 of the series :)
I think I might be a little too obsessive with cleaning mold lines on my rank and file models! Same with painting, and I think that's why it takes me so long to get a squad finished. And I play Guard!
Oh man, the lines on the Cadian helmet drives me crazy.
@@MidwinterMinis oh, I had one sprue of Cadians, and ran away screaming. I now use Anvil Industries models for my dudebros.
great video , and i like your technique . not sure why you didn't save a step and just use a black primer instead of priming grey and then spraying the models black .
If you have black primer, by all means use it! :)
Question and apologies if it has already been asked elsewhere. I noticed that you start a lot of these with grey primer then a black spray ans sometimes a white primer. Is there an advantage to this rather than just using a black primer to start and skip the grey primer step?
Have you ever painted the night bringer?
Great!
Cheers!
The music has an Eve Online vibe to it.
I've never played Eve Online, but I feel like if I did, I would literally never do anything else...
@@MidwinterMinis I just dipped my toes in real quick for 5 years :|
I loved the idea of mixing gold and silver, will have to try that out on my ancient Space Wolves dreadnoughts.
To me it seemed that your paints was too watered down when you were applying them? Is that by choice?
Sort of! It's better to make the paint thinner but reinforce the colour with 2 coats. That way you retain control and flow, and still get a nice finish. if you go too hard and too thick, the paint is harder to control. That being said, the metallic was quite thin, yes. Mix it however you feel comfortable :)
@@MidwinterMinis
I would just be afraid to lose control of the paint. It is always a balance though.
Happy painting! :)
I’m kinda new to warhammer and I just brought the chaos marine lord and tried painting it I did terrible but I’ll keep trying to follow the guide (is there a detail brush you reccomend)
Good content
oklay i need to know this: how do you get such nice blend of colors after agrax earthshade? whenever i use a wash it always leaves very distinct lines on the edges of covered spots.
Thanks for this guide. One question. I bought black primer instead of black spray paint. Should i prime grey and paint black over by hand? Or priming black and dont use a black paint coat. Thanks for helping. :)
Good question! Ignore the grey primer in that case, just prime black spray, then brush black to get into any recesses you missed :)
@@MidwinterMinis thanks for your help!
so I never use a black primer on my minis is that a bad thing?
What is exactly a primer? Is this the original Citadel standard grey Spray followed by the Citadel Chaos Black Spray? Thank you for answering :)
