Just picked this librarian up - he’ll be my 3rd miniature to paint so having this to follow along is great! Really well explained and easy to listen too - thanks.
Thank you very much for your clear tutorials and explanation. As a 'restarting' painter (who never achieved a good level of details), these videos help a lot!
I’ve watched a lot of Warhammer painting tutorials…you make it seem so much easier, really looking forward to getting started on my miniatures (a mix of Orks, Tyranids and Ultra Marines…including this Librarian).
welcome to the hobby. I hope you enjoy painting, remember to take your time and spend some time just getting use to actually applying paint :P theres no rush
A big thank you for this tutorial, all the steps are clearly well explained and detailed. I am resuming painting after a break of twenty years and it is a pleasure to follow your videos and see the results obtained, i also used them for the terminators, great job man
Currently painting my terminator librarian too. Amazing how you use glazes to elevate so much of the model. I'll definitely give your methods a go. Thanks for the inspiration!
Just finished my librarian following this tutorial. Not sure how many people really follow all the steps but I do. I did a pretty bad job on my edge highlights. However the initial gradient work at the beginning looked amazing and really made the model look a lot better with not that much work and a large room for error. It gave the illusion of shadow and movement that i’ll probably keep using that technique. Overall i wasn’t in love with this model due to space marine fatigue, but the tutorial itself was very thorough and even if you aren’t as skilled as the TTR channel, your model will likely look a lot better than most. TTR is correct in saying that doing these advanced techniques poorly looks better than just slapping on a base coat.
thank you very much for the feedback :D I apreciate it. this was tough model to paint, the rune details are a huge destraction and get in the way of tose highlights. Kep practicing and you'll improve massively with each miniature :)
This tutorial's great, amigo! 😄 I came here for the glow effect but learned so much from all sections of this that I can't wait to try in my own content! Cheers, man! Your work is an inspiration! 😁
Your videos are so great, easy to follow, clear to see the details. And the techniques you sometimes explain are also very interesting. I would love to see videos focused only on the techniques, something like the citadel master classes, where you could do them in various different colors and models.
I have thought about doing something like that, but I would rather include it in a full miniature tutorial. full miniature tutorials are more exciting for me. I like to focus more on the techniques because once you know that you can appy to everything
Great video as usual! The tutorials help a lot as a new painter. Would love to see an apothecary tutorial to see how you paint that white armor. Amazing work!
I always appreciate the hands on skill of edge highlighting, shading and glazing etc... but I think that most people who have the dedication, time and practice, could get a satisfactory result, by just improving their hand/eye coordination, and muscle memory, if they dedicate themselves to many hours of practice. The thing that really makes me impressed, and is really an art, is the choice of colours, and the use of the right colours to blend, that artist like yourself use. That IMO is something that can't be learnt quite as easily, and is really the artistic side of the hobby.
when it comes to colour choice, thats also experaince as you learn what works and what doesn't. Its good to see how other people use colours as everyone has different approaches. When we explore, we find our style. A lot of my personal minaitures tend be black and yellow, so imperial fist, ironjaws, ulthwe, black legion etc I learnt a lot from copying how the games workshop studio paints theres
Saving this guy for last, was bricking it but watching this has eased my nerves slightly! Wish I never fully assembled him first though that face is gonna be a pain to paint 😂
don't worry too much, just paint what you can see :) if you ever worry about painting something. go into it with a plan. write down how your going to paint something, what order and what paints to use. think about the techniques your going to need as well. personally I like to challenge myself to something new i havn't tried before with each miniature, so for this librarian it was the glow effects.
Great Video! I'm new to the Hobby and working through my first Librarian now! Question/Request, could you explain or maybe one day make a video showing how you setup your models for sub-assembly paint on those blocks? I cant find any good tutorials on how to pin/mount everything and when i tried to just wing it stuff fell apart while I was painting..
My friend is giving me his Librarian in terminator armour as he is doing a black templar armour so this will be useful for my ultramarines army also great tutorial😃
Hey, in the last 8 months i have gone from nothing to 30 minis. Because of you, i got into painting and have practiced my highlighting to a point that i am very happy with by studying your tutorials. One thing that i am very insecure about is my blending/glazing. Now granted i have not tried beyond things like visors and optics but i find it quite hard to execute to the point that i'm happy with. That tutorial you did about edge highlighting. Do you plan to ever do one similar to that about blending/glazing? I know that i would greatly appreciate one.
well done :D 30 miniatures is a lot, some people don't even get that many done in a year ha. I recon I'll be doing a dedicated glazing video in the future, I just want to get better at it first as I'm still pretty new to it myself.
Whew about to tackle this. It’s unfortunate my base color is so bright for my army. I need to figure out how to darken it so that I can get that glow effect
the brightness or lightness of the base colour sholdn't stop you from doing these glow effects. they're not highlights, they will work as they are there own thing. if you wanted to change the colour, I would look at complimentary colours rather than lighter colours
Amazing video Michael. I just started painting my Librarian and I'm considering to paint the runes/axe etc. red instead of Sotek Green, Temple Guard Blue, etc. Any suggestions which colours you would use to get a decent glowing red colour?
Thank you :) I was going to use Calgar blue but I wanted to stick to the official studio recipe. I thought because your only gong to paint a small number of librarians then its not such a huge thing to mix. You can use Calgar if you didn't want to mix but it is a different shade of blue, not much though
I think all the lighter blues going on with the runes ans stuff, as well as the yellow pipes will make it stand out against crimson fists. you could go retro and do a lighter librarian armour
ur figures look like the images from the GW homepage.... but... they recommend another colours..... what is the right way now? wanne try to copy the original looks. and by side, i am new in the W40k universe.... so sorry when my intention sounds... a... little.. bit confuse? xD
The paints they suggest on the website arn't accurite to what the studio use. This is because they want to give a more straight forward way to paint certain things. For my tutorials I do my homework and learn how the studio have painted them and then use that to come up with a way to replicate that as close as possible but in a more achievable way for people.
love the tutorial, it helped a lot. But what could help more, is do a round-about of the model after each stage. Granted I have numerous images of the model pulled up, but after each stage I checked every picture to ensure I captured every piece according to these pictures. You do great work, and I'll leave it at that: "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness" by Oscar Wilde

Will use this guide when I get around to painting my LIbrarian, very straight forward and logical layering process on the axe
good luck, it was a lot of fun and chanllenging but the results are amazing :) and honestly its not too difficult if you just take your time
Your work is always so smooth and beautiful as well as easy to understand, nice work :D
thank you. such a nice commit :)
Convinient how i started my librarian today!
convenient you say :P
I almost never comment, but just wanted to say thanks for this video. I used it step by step for my librarian and he turned out (nearly) perfect.
i'm really happy this helped you paint your own librarian :D
Just picked this librarian up - he’ll be my 3rd miniature to paint so having this to follow along is great! Really well explained and easy to listen too - thanks.
wow. thats amazing. I hope you enjoy painting it.

Currently painting my terminator librarian too. Amazing how you use glazes to elevate so much of the model. I'll definitely give your methods a go. Thanks for the inspiration!
Wicked :D I hope you enjoy painting the librarian. it was a lot of fun and a brilliant oppertunity to do lots of glazing. have fun with it
I think you've outdone yourself this time Michael. Absolutely outstanding work!
oh shucks, thank you :)
I just bought the ultimate starter set and im most excited about this guy!! Thanks for the video!
Awsome. I hope you enjoy painting your starter set. make sure to have fun and take your time :)
This is probably your best tutorial so far! Great paintjob too
wow, thank you. I am very happy with how this eneded up :)

Another great video, well done. I particularly liked how the force axe turned out, I’ll have to try that.
thank you. painting force weapons are one of my favorite things to paint. they're a lot of fun to do and they just look amazing when done
This tutorial's great, amigo! 😄 I came here for the glow effect but learned so much from all sections of this that I can't wait to try in my own content! Cheers, man! Your work is an inspiration! 😁
awsome. I'm glad you've found more things that are usuful for you :) I hope you enjoy painting :D
The axe looks so cool!
thank you :D

I’m planning on working on my librarian in a few hours! It’s my last piece for the combat patrol portion of my leviathan box
good luck :D
Great video as usual! The tutorials help a lot as a new painter. Would love to see an apothecary tutorial to see how you paint that white armor. Amazing work!
I will be painting some apothecary’s later this year 😁
Really great tutorial! A lot of great details

I love this so much and am wondering when you’re going to upload a genestealer cult video because I really want to see how to paint it!
I will be doing a genestealer cult video on November. it just keeps getting pushed back for priority stuff that I want to get done first
Ok thanks for letting me know i love your content by the way! Keep going and don’t stop!
Fantastic content as always
Thank you, Thank you :D
I would absolutely love a tutorial for some bone armour like with the deathwing!
It’s on the list to do when I get round to it 🤪
I shall be patient! :3@@TableTopReadyTH-cam

Love your videos. Trying to learn as much as I can before I start my journey 😂😅
you'll learn the most when you start painting :) good luck
Cracking tutorial! - keep up the good work 😎👍
thank you :)
Looks amazing thank you 😊😊😊
no, thank you :D
Great video thanks!
Thank you
Looks cool.
Thank you
Very nice tutorial!! 🤩 Can you repeat the tutorial of Salamander? You're an another level of painting now 👏👏
thank you. I wouldn't really change anything about how I painted the salamander, I was really happy with.

Lucky for you I’ve already made one. It’s call getting your miniatures ready for painting 👌🏻

thats a good friend, they get to kill the librarian now ha. good luck I hope you enjoy painting it

Just got the Cerastus Knight Acheron 😊 would be great if you could do a painting on him sometime 😊
I would like to do a knight, but thats a future project
No rush 😊 I have to get done with my ultramarines and necrons before I start the knight or the warmaster titan 🤩
I love your painting guides❤
Many ways to improve my paintjob!
What's for Spooktober? Necron Dynasties? Or some orks?🤔
I havn't got anything palnned, sorry, but I am working on Orks for my own army :P
@@TableTopReadyTH-cam oooh! ME TOO🤩
I'm making some Bad Moonz. What about you?
I have Goffs and painting loads of gretchin and boyz
@@TableTopReadyTH-cam oh, I like them! Black orks in 40k
Ghazgull tutorial maybe...? 😉
What colours did you use for scrolls, wax seals and skull on breast plate pls?
I would go watch either my terminator captain or chaplain video. I cover purity seals in both of those
Amazing video Michael. I just started painting my Librarian and I'm considering to paint the runes/axe etc. red instead of Sotek Green, Temple Guard Blue, etc. Any suggestions which colours you would use to get a decent glowing red colour?
thank you. Gal vorbak red, mephiston red, evil sunz, troll slayer and fire dragon bright
Hi, first love your channel! Second a question… for the first edge highlight why use a mix of Alford guard and fernisian instead of calgar?
Thank you :) I was going to use Calgar blue but I wanted to stick to the official studio recipe. I thought because your only gong to paint a small number of librarians then its not such a huge thing to mix. You can use Calgar if you didn't want to mix but it is a different shade of blue, not much though

Ola 😃
How would you do this as a crimson fist? I’m stuck whether to keep the armour kantor blue but then it blends in with every other fist
I think all the lighter blues going on with the runes ans stuff, as well as the yellow pipes will make it stand out against crimson fists. you could go retro and do a lighter librarian armour
@@TableTopReadyTH-cam retro would suit a crimson fist vibe, thanks
Also what is your favorite space marine legion mine is of courese the boys in blue or the poster boys of 40k the Ultramarines.
Nice
nice

Were you able to put that head on it's place? I made that mistake...
yes. I mention at the start of the video I left the chest seperate so I could put the head in later :)
It looks pretty close to the box art
thank you :)
you should have been a surgeon with those steady hands..
Haha be thankful I’m no surgeon
It's not work if you enjoy it
absolutly true, its hard to take a day off in fact
lol, imagine using citadel paints. What a goof.
Haha call
Me goofy Hayuk!
