- The galaxy is the Emperor's, and anyone or anything who challenges that claim is an enemy who must be destroyed. In this tutorial, we show you how to paint the most loyal of Astartes Chapters, The Black Templars for Warhammer 40,000 by Games Workshop. The miniatures is one of the new Primaris Crusaders Marines and are packed full of Black Templar Iconography and details. We show you how to approach painting Black Space Marine Power Armour including how to get a great edge highlight, which is quite a challenge with black. We also teach you how to paint the white pauldrons as well as all the other Grimdark 40K details that make the Black templars so awesome. Enjoy 😊

This would be perfect for painting 30k dark angels I bet, especially the primarch
Agreed!
Watching for 30k Raven Guard. (Started painting but could use the advice)
@@ahmedrazick4946 Its basically just this. With some white details (Ulthuan grey, your choice of recess shade (I prefer blue for a clean look), white scar highlight)
That Traitor?
True that!
I was waiting for years for my hero to finally paint a Black Templar
I think one of my favourite things about your tutorials is that you often give alternate or equivalent paints when listing the colours you use. It really makes a difference knowing that you're not limited to one kind of paint if you want to achieve the same or similar results.
it's a classy way to promote his paint line without forcing the viewer to think they need his product
Couldn't agree more, I like all my paints to match so because I started with Citadel I only really buy their so all my paints look the same on my shelf. So having him list the Citadel closest equivalent means I can still reliably use his tutorials without having to compromise on shelf aesthetic.
Agree with everything said here, i liked the paint options as well 👌
Came here to find this comment 👊
Not on his new stuff tho haha :)
I love how chill these tutorials are. Even when I didn't paint, I watched them to relax.
Every time I hear that intro music.. I know it's going to end up with an epic paint job. 🎨
This scheme doesn't look quite as obnoxious as the GW version. I like this more grounded look a lot
agree not a fan of their over the top blue edge highlighting
Agreed
Not sure when the blue highlights started on anything with black armor, but I don't like the look.
@@cmleibenguth Different colors for different situations, This is still a clean color scheme and grey highlights will show up nicely, conversely on my black templars even a bright blue barely shows up because of all the wear and tear. A grey highlight on that just wouldn’t show up.
I don't mind the blue highlights for colder, high-tech factions like Raven Guard or Death Watch, but greys really look better for Black Templars.
@@alessandro348 That's always the question I ask when painting black... do I want a cool highlight (blue-grey), a warmer highlight (brown-grey), or neutral (true-grey). I did my Raven Guard with blue-grey and I didmy Jackyl Tempestus with a neutral grey
Great stuff - best painting tutorials on youtube by far!
Thanks so much 😊
Indeed!
GW:
*Okay, you need to pay for seeing how to spray a mini.*
Duncan, god of paint:
*You're on YT? Sweet! Now I'll show you how to paint Black Templar, from start to finnish. Hope you enjoy it!*
Lovely guide. I don't want to rewrite my paint guide for my Get Started series again, but I may have to steal that method for the lenses. Certainly easier than layering up to orange.
i bought my Black Templar Combat Patrol Box today.... after this i watched your video, which helped me to solve my questions hows its done. Now i m painting my 1st Black Templar with the Vid in the Background. Thank you, may the emperor protect you :)
Awesome!
You may get tired of hearing this, but you have great skill with making this hobby accessible. I just spent a while following your directions word for word on this video for my first Black Templar model. Even though I got maybe 70% of it, I felt it really strengthened my foundation for the hobby. I so appreciate your work.
Hey Duncan! Could you potentially do a painting tutorial for the Emperor's Champion's black sword?
Oh yea the black sword is hard
The best thing I could suggest is to base it with iron hands steel and then go over it with a layer of black templars contrast
Happy to see that you put the colour equivalences.
I've been looking for a BT scheme for a while that looks like a cold smooth black without having intensely blue highlights that still stands out, I think this is it :)
Awesome. Glad it can help 😊
Yes I've been painting my Black Templars the same way after watching this, and I will tell you this they're great
Thank you for uploading it here
You're welcome
@@DuncanRhodesDRPA Your tutorials are the best, you really are able to explain each step so it can be understood. E.g. the explanation why you went for a grey priming was great and understandable
Hey Duncan.
Quick question, could you perhaps do a guide on how to paint or make chapter insignia not supported by GW. For example the carcharodons and others?
Mmmm....not a bad idea. We will have a think about that one 🤔
@@DuncanRhodesDRPA Lamenters :D
OMG! this saved me! i started building a templars army and this tutorial is a life saver
This is exactly the scheme I'd want for my Black Templar army, in the desert crusading along!
Thanks for this. Between this one and the Blood Angels from a few months ago, I've really learned a lot for painting my Flesh Tearers.
That's awesome! Glad we could help a little 😊
@@DuncanRhodesDRPA I had a question about the helmet. When you're highlighting the part under the eyes, specifically the vent holes, do you edge highlight them? Or feather out from the center?
Sign #536 that Duncan is indeed the paint god. At 3:42 you can see his Corax White looks pretty liquid unlike the chalky cottage cheese texture it usally has, proof of his supernatural powers over all paints and brushes
Oh my god I thought that was a problem with just my Corax white, it’s so wierd
Duncan is the Bob Ross of miniatures.
Indeed!
You make it look easy. Great model.
Ive been painting for about a year now… love the BT… i pulled this guy out my combat patrol box…. Went and bought all the paints used and did him step by step with this tutorial…. And he is defo the best one i have done in the short time ive been painting…. Mega proud of him…. Cheers Duncan you absolute ledge…. 💪🏼💪🏼
Looks great 😊 would love to see a grey knight colour scheme by Duncan.
Inspirational, always fantastic work. Any chance you will do a tutorial on Helbrecht?
Thank you for this amazing video. I've been thinking about starting a BT army and this is gonna help out tons with choosing the right colors.
Would love to see your take on Helbrecht and Grimaldus as well! 😁
Great video. Ill start assembling my BT army soon in preparation for my pledge arriving. I'm looking forward to it.
Do you have tips/guides on painting symbols onto folded cloth?
The templars tabards have a lot space that feels unused
I didnt watch yet (but will after comment). I dont care why you’re doing it. I’m just stopping here to say I’m glad you did this. It‘s comforting having someone you appreciate, working on something you have affinity for. Carry on Sir! The Crusade is eternal…ly ensuring two thin coats! Anything less is heresy.
Just finished my crusader squad last night, and was heading to the store for paints today! Divine timing!
Yeah!
Yolo Duncan finally created his own paint set, congrats my dude
Thank you .We are excited for people to get their hands on it.
Glad to see some of the Two Thin Coats line in the tutorials. The metallic paints look great, and I'm looking forward to receiving my order next year.
I'm glad of the opposite actually. He could have easily just dove into using only his own paint line and didn't so I appreciate that he's still doing a variety(including his own of course, can't wait for mine!)
I am so absolutely thrilled you continue to make nods to the citadel paints.
Monetary issues go without saying, but it is really nice to hear the professional opinion on a color to substitute.
Would you be willing to do a daemon day?
I'd love to see how Duncan would do a Daemonette and a Blue Horror with his new perspective.
Oh wow! I am not prepared to paint my Dark Templar Army! I am in for a rough time. :S
Thank you for the guide. Im very bad at highlighting but its coming along atleast.
I just received that new box from GW and very happy about my boys receiving some love but fearful about messing them up, this gave me a ton of good pointers, thank you! Still nervous about working with corax white, pots I receive are so thick, I first thought they were defective.
Thank you for your work!
Every white paint I've received from Games Workshop has come all clumped up and thick. Once way you can 'fix' this is by getting like a bottle of airbrush thinner. Put some in the pot and mix. if it's still too thick, add a little more. Keep doing so until its a consistency you'd like to work with. Obviously be careful of adding too much otherwise it might get too thin.
@@dreadreaver55 Thinning your paints golden rule
I've have missed you, so much!
Please do keeper of secrets! You are amazing at painting btw
We did a full tutorial for that exact miniature awhile ago and it is available on our website (duncanrhodes.com). It was a fun project, especially painting the skin and getting those nice smooth blends.
I wish you would paint a terminator or sword brethren with these same colors
Great tutorial, Duncster, as always!
One thing I have always had a lot of issue with that seems very silly but has cost me a few brushes already would be how you go about cleaning and generally treating your brushes right. Just washing them out in your bucket of painting water rarely gets them properly and easily clean and tends to catch pigments too far up the bristles and ruining the point long-term. Always replacing the water after every paint is obviously also not a realistic option, so how to go about cleaning them up mid-paintjob?
I know I'm not the intended recipient, but I have a method that works fairly well and has kept most of my expensive detail brushes in good shape.
I tend go go and give them a eash every 30 minutes or so when painting. Running, warm water is best, and just give the bristles a gentle flicking while wetting them. I have found that this helps keep my brushes feeling soft and staying in form for longer.
For larger brushes, say the kind you might use for washes, you can get away with less washing and still keep them in good shape.
Hope this helps, cheers mate!
ur the best bro... dont ever forget. bringing the activity of painting to everyone and talent levels, peace mate😊
Peace!
Playstyle and flavorwise, I love Black Templars. Paintingwise, I think I'd get tired of the color scheme after a while. Either way, gorgeous models you've got there.
or on a budget, the templaers have like 10 000 space marines xD
I think i prefer this, and will use it Upon my Black Legion. Once it's out of the dastardly hands of my brother. :D
Duncan I just wanna take a sec and say thank you for telling what a citadel color equivalent we can use I really appreciate that mate
Duncan, can you do an imperial knight video. It would be great!
Nice! Around 8:18, Did you apply Agrax Earthshade all-over shade or recess shade on the chest armor with Balthasar Gold? I guess the former?
Looks awesome as always...:)
I don't know the first thing about miniature painting or warhammer, but I just find these so relaxing to watch
Omg how you did the eyes is genius definitely going to start trying that for my marines
Yesterday I got myself Thunderstrike Brotherhood
And after watching Duncan for month I can say that they finally looke decent
Good coverage! On corax white!? what kind of warp sorcery is this!?
Hi Duncan,
Excellent video as always. Had a quick question, I'm not too keen on edge highlighting, could I get the same effect on the armour using a dry brush technique?
Hi Rodrigo. It won't be as sharp, but it will work. Just be gentle and use the right sized drybrush and paint against the edge 😊
Hail duncan
I've been admiring your videos for a while and I wonder
Will you do a tutorial on
any Eldar minis?
Thanks
We have done a couple for the Academy (duncanrhodes.com) but it may be time to do another...it's been awhile.
Would fenrisian grey work for the black edge highlights
Another excellent tutorial and I really like the fact that you are starting to work the two thin coats paint range into the tutorials.
How did you make the white so smooth? Mine always looks chunky. And I try and thin it down
yup, I just put on the corax white and it looks like complete a$$ even after shaking, stirring and thinning
At the beginning you mentioned to use either your line of black, army painter or Abaddon black. Just curious what your thoughts are on using the Black Templar contrast?
It's a great paint and can be useful on this miniature. You want get a 'pure', deep black but it will be close enough 😊
Start with an off-white primer if you are gonna use templar black. Such as greyseer from citadel
Awesome tutorial Duncan. Subscribe to the painting academy. You're seriously missing a lot of painting advices througout all the videos posted there. I've painted my Exalted Sorcerer just like Duncan did. It wasnt simple and took a lot of time but it was worth it. :D
Thank you for the kind words #Azreal. And for the support too .It means the world to us 😊
Duncan's a legend in the community for good reason. Great tutorial, easy to follow and excellent results. Time to paint some Templars !
I would like to know best colors from two thin coats paint range are good for painting Vandus Hammerhands steed? There is those old warhammer painting videos where you use stegadon scale green to it but I dont want to buy anymore citadel paints because of those pots
Is there a good substitute for mechanicus standard gray spray? Since it is impossible to buy GW spray paints outside of the UK...
Also Duncan a follow up question for your blood angel blade guard is it possible for me to use a airbrush as my right hand is broken so I can’t really paint
How the fuck did he get a Corax White that wasn't clumped up like hell?
Duncan, you have so much good luck with the GW/Citadel range of brushes such as the Small Layer brush! I don't know how you do it! lol. I think thats worthy of a video unto itself. ;)
Even though it may not be my chapter there’s always something that keeps me intuned watching Duncan which is superrrr helpful because I’m learning much better painting techniques
The great thing about his videos is that he occasionally switches things up and teaches a technique you may not have been aware of before. Or he might explain a technique he often uses differently or more thoroughly. You come to see which colors he uses but you stay to see how he uses them.
Coating
Base colors (up to 2 layers)
color wash (basically extra diluted paint for shading)
-the deep black armor does not need it, but for other matte areas (such as the joints), a dark gray wash could help
Layering (using the base colors, clean up the color wash and add highlights)
Highlights (using a lighter version of the area ur highlighting, gently brush the edges. Up to 3 layers or more depending on the level of detail wanted, highlighting the highlight and so on)
-for the black armor, a blueish highlight may help making the deep obscure colors stand out
-detailing at some areas with a light gray
Detailing (similar to edge highlighting)
-think of the material ur highlighting. Is it metal? Fabric?
-pay attention to the eyes or other light emitting areas
What's the rule or guidline when it comes to washes va contrasts for shading the miniature?
Whatever works for you
Hello Duncan. Do you have video for this desert base? Its great colors
watched 2 of your videos, watched a couple of how to play games. think i have no time for this at aged 47... now won a competiton of the new black templars war set.. erm ok.. what to do lol. ty
gonna have to watch a few more before this and learn and make sure i put together ok etc.
i nay have to find a local help here :s
Been prepping to start a Black Templar army and this is definitely the color scheme I’m going to use. Looks just stunning and not as tedious to do on multiple models. Great video and very clear instructions
I just got into 40k and I just started learning im really struggling to paint the whit on the shoulder plates without hitting the cross. Does anyone have any tips or reccomendations for being an accurate painter and only hitting what you intend to?
Would you guys consider this to be comparable to Parade ready of Battle ready levels of detail?
I was hoping for Death Company...😭
question could i replace dawnstone with eshin grey , or would that risk making the highlight look odd , alternatively is there a diffrent colour i could use besides those two
When do the ttc paints get released?
Yours look better than GW.
Shouldn’t you gloss coat the miniature before applying washes? How come it’s not staining the base layer?
This tutorial is helping me paint my Templars so much. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Grimdark Compendium did their version of Black Templars. As much as I love his work, his version failed. His black was blue IMO. Midnight clad it shouldn't be. Grey scale it should.
If remember correctly You used to make the paint turtorials for GW right or are you still doing that?
Duncan,
What is your view of using a blue-black for the base 'black' colour, in order to give the armour a bit of a different feel/ to link the blue highlights?
I'm considering doing a Kantor blue, Abaddon black 1:1 for a Deathwatch armour.
I really like how that tabard turned out. It’s ho I envisioned my battle sister’s cloak
Oh. Small LAYER brush.
I thought he was calling it a small air brush. That's what I get for listening to this video instead of watching it.
So whats the actual time it took to complete this. Like im VERY new i know my stuff isnt going to look like this but to get something like this for 1 mini is this an entire weekend or is this like 10 hours of work. and how should i be painting my Mini's 1 at a time or get them all to a made and covered in black then shoulder pads???
This shits hard but i do enjoy that it unlocks a side of me that in 27 years of life ive never really done.
For us, as we have painted a lot of these, it's less than a day, maybe 5 -6 hours to this standard. Remember though, you can follow along and don't do all the highlighting parts (longest stages by a mile). Then you can knock one out in a couple hours. If you want to paint a squad then set up a production line and do one stage on all of them then cycle through that way.
Just wanted to thank you for this video, as well as others on your channel, for helping me get my black templar army started. I used to paint old world warhammer minis as a kid (with rough results), and watching your videos now motivated me to shake the rust off, learn some new techniques and get the BTs to a state I can be happy with. Cheers!
Awesome Video. Thank you! Black templar are my first army and I like your take on them the best. Can anyone tell me if I have to use varnish for such a dark color scheme? I'm a total beginner and a little bit lost
thanks for the video. ive just painted my 1st figures and the results are better than expected
Duncan imo is games workshop's best painter and because he makes the best videos aswell.
Can we get a sword brethren paint tutorial
I want to make my black templars pauldrons green. Not sure how it will look
Quick question, can I use Nuln Oil gloss instead of the normal one?
Been meaning to ask for some time, now--what's the opening music from? It's somehow extremely appropriate for this channel.
I love that even though you have your own paint line. Your using paints from army painter and citadel. It really shows these as suggestions and not blatent product placement. *cough* warhammertv *cough*
Suffer not the unpainted to live!
Uphold the painting for the Emperor!
Abhor the gray, slay the grey!
Paint any mini, no matter the odds!
I am a newbie and appreciate you giving options on what paints to use...I have the army painter starter set and the GW space Marines paint set....and a patrol set for my first go at WH... looking forward to watching and learning more cheers!
Jo 60K clicks. Congrats Mr. Rhodes. Epic.
I wonder what happen to a black Armour highlighted with red shades
Very very very helpful tutorial! I´m going to be getting some Primaris Crusaders and this is going to help so so much.
Thank you for uploading these vids, I learn so much from watching them and they definately help to get started on color schemes you´re unfamiliar with.
This has really helped me, as the color scheme I wanted to use for my marines uses a very dark blue, a parchment color, and a dark red, very similar to this miniature! Thanks a bunch!
purrfect now I can make black templars actually look good hopefully mwahahahahaha!
You will 😊
