Starting your own army of miniatures can be daunting, and it seems there's hundreds of different ways of painting them. Ultimately, this is true! But part of the fun of tackling your own painting projects is in finding a style that works for you and gets models on the table in a way that you find appealing. Here's one of mine where it comes to getting Ultramarines on the table in no time at all and with a minimum of fuss and paints - you could base your own differently, of course!
How I Paint Things is a series of simple instructional videos designed to help the newcomer through some of the basics and demonstrate how the very simplest techniques can still give you some great results that're easily replicated. Aimed at the beginner to painting miniatures, there might be one or two tips or tricks that help even you old hands!

I have seen a lot of painting video on doing the Primaris smurf army quickly, and this is probably the best. Two powerful techniques you demonstrated will give best results with least amount of fuss. Starting from a dark to lighter is the trick, but powerful tool.. and dry brushing for quick results. I do the same but instead of dry brushing the blue, I do it with air brushing, not as straight forward as your example, but gives the best blending of colors. Then just finish up with a small amount of edge highlighting with a small dry brush, finishing touches are the guns and badges. good work.
I painted my first mini today, using the tips in this video. Took me longer than twenty minutes. It doesn’t look *quite* as good as yours, but I’m very happy with how it turned out. Thanks for all the work you put into this channel!
Nice one! Really glad to hear you gave it a shot and had fun, and what's important is you're pleased with the result. It all keeps getting better from here. :D
This is too good, thank you
Another great vid.
Finished the video and worth ANOTHER YES.
YES! :D
Holding my breath while he paints the eyes
You're not the only one! 😂
Do you have an OnlyFans?
@@Ally.Cat.252 oh, sure. I pose with my vast collection of unpainted minis.
What do you mean, "This won't win any awards"?... That looks amazing! You won an award with me, I want to paint minis as good as you!
All it takes is a bit of practice! ;D I've been at this for a while of course, but these are the basics that ought to be in everybody's toolbox.
Here is what happened as a direct result of this tutorial.
th-cam.com/video/wQPLWGZwx8k/w-d-xo.html
Absolute madness! :D Astounding result, and they look so cool en masse like that! Now that's something to be proud of.
YES
"Anywhere that you can't get the old tricky bit in." He chuckles. That's what she said.
gave this a quick shot and I gotta say I am really impressed I am with the result! cheers!
Man. I really want to paint some space marines but our group only plays D&D. But space marines are just so cool.... maybe I'll just get a small starter set and decorate the shelf above my monitor with them.
If you've got paints and brushes already, there's a great little box of three Intercessors that goes at a fraction of the usual price. Could be a fun way to just get your hands on something different to paint, with the bonus that if you want to go crazy with the colour schemes, you don't really have to worry about the rules. :D
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio Almost, I have brushes and I asked for paints for december.. I've been focusing on terrian so I have lots of hobby paint but only a couple bottles of washes, primer, and varnish for minis until I get to unwrap gifts. =) I think I'll likely get the First Strike set as that's a really good value and then I can rope my hubby into playing with me at some point hopefully. Seems like GW is using that set as a gateway drug. LOL
They're Vallejo paints though, so if I want to match the colors of Citadel I'll likely have to do some mixing.. but I went to university for art, I can figure it out.
@@emilylindstrom724
I'd recommend checking the Paint Compatibility chart on DakkaDakka.com
It really helps finding your Vallejo-Citadel equivalent
@@That0therAsian found it - www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/Paint_Range_Compatibility_Chart super handy! Thanks!
the idea of letting the black primer show through the blue rather than painting the entire thing blue and using a wash or whatever to panel-line blew my mind.
WHERE WERE VIDEOS LIKE THIS WHEN I PAINTED MINIATURES AS A KID BACK IN THE 80S!!! Great work!
I dont know why but there is just something so satisfying about the way you put the gold on the shoulder pads, Its like its just too clean.
The back of his….. arrmmss ahah. Solid video mate.
My son (8) and I just got the leviathan set, and I've been looking at an achievable painting method for him to use to approach painting his new SM force with minimal help from me. This looks perfect - thank you!
i never understood what varnish Does So i ordered some Varnish Matt and Glos Today LOL
Really terrific. Love the emphasis on new entrants to our hobbies.
Slap on a quick wash after the drybrushing stage to blend and remove the chalky look !
Really love the drybushing base paint. Complete skips the shading :o
At first I was like: there's noo way that drybrushing the base would work, and then You blew me away with the result. Impressive
It does take a bit of practice to get just the right coverage with the Base paints owing to their high pigment, but if you use 'too little' and give it a couple of passes while you're getting the hang of it you'll come into a winner. :D
That's one cool looking marine man! Nice job, and easy. Just getting into kil team and i got me a little box from a friend containing some space marines so wanted to paint them up quickly...this is the way i will be doing it :).
That's amazing looking for 20 minutes work I struggle to get that quality in double the time
I challenge you to paint Abaddon the Despoiler or Ghazgkhull Thraka 😏 I wouldn't buy these models due to how intense to paint they are! But your tutorials are so good at explaining I would give it a go 😃
Both those kits are over 45 euros for me... probably not something that'll get done any time soon, I'm afraid.
Well, I'm currently painting my first minis as Ultramarines and yesterday I've spent a good 40 minutes basecoating one thoroughly so I guess my approach so far hasn't exactly been "speedy" :D
To be fair I had the paint a bit too thin so I basically coated the entire model twice. I think I'll stick to the method though, I like the blue coverage and then shading down afterwards. Maybe I'll change my mind when I'm done with this first round of models but we'll see ^^
I think if I continue with the method I might just get Macragge Blue Spray to at least more or less skip the first step.
I never thought of dry painting the blue to shade!!
If you are not entering your figures into a contest, there is not much point in going crazy with the painting. The whole point is to play the games and have fun. The techniques in this video are more than adequate to get a bunch of figures done quick that look okay, so you can play. I have been playing for a quite awhile. Sure you get better at the painting, but I still don't waste a lot of time on regular troops. get them done and on the table.
I'm buying models for an Ultramarine army so I'm watching as many painting videos as I can. This one looks so nice.
Wonderful job your a great painter if you could show more techniques for drybrushing or link a video I have suck a hard time get those details perfect
This video is exactly what I needed. Very much appreciated. Thank you.
Who dropped a bomb on your palette between the first two colors?
that's a cracking technique, you don't really base paint, you dry brush the base and the highlights on, both of them and here's no messing about with a wash and then tidy up after as the black prime sorts that out.
could we see you do a black legion (only because i have the shadowspear boxset) using this guide for the ultras :)
I just watched one of these randomly and they started showing up in my feed. Kept looking at a few because the guy has such a cheerful and calming voice. Now I'm just watching them all in the hopes of one day finding the elusive video that is NOT special >: D
When I'm around, it's always special. ;D
I had some really good results with pallid witch flesh, then a crimson wash over the socket. Leaves a slight "light" for the eyes
video was extremely helpful! Im 14 and ive started war hammer one thing I struggle with is shaky hands . And another thing when I do my base . Ready for blacks details I get les careless and it course me to mess up my brain goes ‘ just paint over it ‘ then it takes me ages to paint an space marine when I can paint one with highlights in 3 hours really well if im patient any advice for this ? 😁
Really nice video. Particulary, I like your very basic style with a small set of colours. Actually for beginners this is the best. Keep it going.
Hey dude what paint did you use for the gun? That sorta silver look
Leadbelcher. I've only just realised I missed it in the description. Whoops!
Your channel is really good! Got some good tips. Thank you. Have a good Christmas. Look forward to seeing some new videos in the new year!
Really great looking figure! Easy and simple to do. The limited pallet of paints would be a big bonus for someone on a budget but still wanting a good looking model. These have been very useful tutorials and as always I look forward to your next project. Your work inspires to paint more. Thanks for sharing this.
Cool video! Please tell me! I'm assembling the 4th company of Ultramarines Primaris. Faced with the question of how to paint the interests of veterans) Shoulder pads should be painted white or green, how would they be veterans of the 4th company?)
I'm honestly not sure, I'm afraid. Off the top of my head I'm relatively certain that 'veterans' of a company still wear the Green/Red/Gold or whatever of the company they belong to, and it's only 1st Company Veterans that have the white trim. If in doubt, look to the Codex Astartes. ;D
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio Got it) Thank you very much)
I was wondering could you list the brushes that you where using?
There's a Citadel Large Drybrush and Shade Brush, and the grey-handled brush is from a local manufacturer that does synthetics I quite like. It's the same as any 1 size, or the Medium Layer Brush from Citadel.
wow you read my mind :O i was looking for some vids on ultramarines as I want to play them for my first army :D Keep up the great work, and I love these speed painting vids!
the bob ross of warhammer
That was a very special video. Thank you for sharing.
Not only the technic is good and easy, your way of story telling is perfect, nice and clear. Thank you for your effort.
having just started the Ultramarines and deciding to start with Bobby G and Calgar, this is still a great video on how to get standard troops done, absolutley loving your videos and you style of presenting. Keep up the great work
I'm going to be giving painting minis a go with the introduction intercessor kit and I think I'm going to use this style as an inspiration.
I do have a question though: A lot of other videos have recommended priming with the zenithal highlight, would that even work with the way you went about painting this guy? Initially I would think no but I don't really know anything when it comes to painting so I figured I'd ask.
Given the way this technique works, I doubt it'd make much difference. The zenithal highlighting technique isn't particularly advanced, but it's an extra bit of Fuss that you really don't need to worry about if you're just getting started. On top of which, if you put a lighter shade of primer on the upper edges of the Marine, this 'overbrushing' method won't work as well - those recesses are going to be shining out from under the blue!
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio I gotcha. I had a hunch that it wouldn't go to well with this, but I figured I'd ask just to be sure. Thank you for getting back to me, and also, thank you for the content you make. I've been really enjoying it.
What a great tutorial- I'd definitely recommend this method to anyone starting out.
Your videos are as informative as ever, I love how easy you make it. I just posted vids of me painting my first Ultra marine mainly using the techniques I picked up from watching you. I would love to see an instructional on how you handle things like weathering and battle damage on armor, to give your marines a more battle-worn look. Thanks!
Just watched that upload and it's really cool to see you getting into it and having fun. So begins a long, long habit! I'll admit to being the sort that doesn't really like a lot of battle damage and heavy weathering on Marines - I usually take the idea that mine are just catapulted into battle as and when needed - but I know plenty of folks like the worn look, so I'll see if some tank weathering tricks work on these guys. There's plenty of armour... that ought to work, right?
I think this was the first tutorial video I watched over a year ago now when I got back into the hobby. Like a fool I ignored it and listened to the edge highlighting mafia. Since then I've painted less than 50 minis and now have a massive pile of potential glory. With the time I have as a Dad, it would take me years to paint a fieldable army. I'm so glad I rediscovered this video. Thank you!
The satin varnish trick really makes a difference. Please, could you do more awesome videos like this one? They are really inspiring :)
Fantastic. Now I want to strip my marines and do it this way. Thanks!
useful and well done
Great video that should turn into a series ;) Fan request: Now do speed painting poxwalkers :D
Got a few Nurgle blokes on the back burner for this style, too. Poxwalkers are going to come along early next year at this rate, since being in the starter boxes you'd think they'd be pretty useful! ;D
New to all this and I'm struggling. How do you paint the chest with arms and bolter in the way. Do you leave them off untill the end.
The easiest way to do it is to paint 'down' into the gap between the bolter and the chest. So rather than trying to approach with your brush from the front, move the model so you're holding it almost as though it's laying down and paint down its front like that. Alternatively, what you can't easily reach with a brush isn't often easily seen once it's on the table, so skip bits!
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio thanks for the reply I'll be sure to use your advice.
Awesome. Subbed
Nice Video. :)
I have watched this video so many times. Thank you for all the great videos!
Yes this is worth another. Doing Orks like this is a good idea imo. When you're like me, you want to churn through Boyz super quick and that makes layering them decidedly sub optimal.
Orks are definitely on the list! I've already touched on Orks a couple times before, but if I can find an even faster way of doing them? It'll show up here.
This is very useful and presented very well
Been looking at this video vs those using the new Contrast paint: I agree that the contrast is more “crimson fist” blue vs ultramarine blue. Your process doesn’t seem much slower. I only say this as I consider you one of the premier Contrast painters. Have you tried the new Contrast on ultramarines- thoughts?
Very helpful
This is just the video I've been looking for for my Space Marine Adventures minis. Cheers
brilliant technique. As you said its not painting comp standard but that isnt the purpose. With a technique like that there is no reason to be fielding unpainted armies. Great video mate. will check the rest of your channel
I spray mcragge blue and edge highlight by hand with calgar blue. So many details
Amazing video! I wished you were around when I started playing years ago! I would have spent more time playing then actually painting! Fantastic tutorial and your miniatures look incredible for the amount of time it took!
Very easy for a beginner to replicate to i think.
I'm pretty regularly amazed by the wealth of information available online for people getting started these days. It's a fascinating new world for those of us that didn't grow up with all this to begin with!
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio Agreed I remember building my first metal miniature as a kid and literally just gluing all my fingers together! No one tells you have to wash the miniature first and than green stuff is actually how you get the arms to stick!
How things have changed! Thank you for the awesome content!
Amazing
Another great video - really nice quick finish. Really enjoying these.
This will probably get lost in the comments but why do people paint with the bases on? I’m brand new to 40k and I’m just trying to think of ways to paint
Thanks for the video I will be trying this out
Awesome little guide , if you were going to do classic world eaters in White armour with blue shoulders/back pack ,, would you recommend priming in corax white and washing the whole model in nuln oil then dry brush back the armour in something like white . or that weird grey white ?
If you want to do your marines by hand you should get a citadel painting Handel would make handling your figures much easier
Very good guide for beginners. On the other hand, I only spend 6 hours on one marine.
I've decided this is the guide I'm going to use and listen to when I paint my first space marines. The process is very straight forward and I can only hope someday mine look like that
i know this is a speed paint job but i dont understand why you assembled the mini fully. Best thing to do is paint in seperate parts so every angle is easily accessible. It prevents mistakes and therefor also speeds up the entire proces.
Super easy but it requires a lot of paints o don’t have ;( I just got the two starter packs one with like 3 incissors and 3 recovers and a bunch of death guard then I got the starter paint pack why are there not videos on how to paint them ones with the first paints you get
Absolutely loved this and the GS video! PLEASE make more "how to paint in 15 minutes" videos!!!
Thank you for revealing the magic of dry-brushing to me.
It doesn't have to be harder than that. Good video, thanks.
I wish i had seen this before I started my Dark Imperium boxed set. I love your stuff, keep on cracking at it.
looks like gw has really trimmed down the dry paint line in the last couple of years.
Great video. Really enjoy these videos. Thanks!
What do you think is the equivalent to retributor armour in vallejo paints?
Very good guide.
You Sir, have just got another sub. 🙂
Macragge Blue spray I think is a better base coat. Quicker to.
🔥🎸🔥
Another excellent speed painting video that produces great looking results in a short time. Thank you for taking the time to share.
Wow only 20 mins I thought it would take like 3
franchement génial, le meilleur tutoriel que j'ai vu !!
Thanks for the tips, how I’ve tackled the chest eagle is not installing the arms until after I’m done with the eagle. It’s probably some sort of sacrilege doing that but we all have our processes.
If it works, it works. :D
Excellent video series, a great idea with the 15min videos
Bob Ross vibe, love the mood of your work, thank you
Love these new videos. One thing a lot of people forget is if you super detail your rank and file it doesn't let the leaders, SGT's, LT., CPT., or HQ units progressively stand out the way they should.
Plus, if you've got a large block of grey plastic to get through, it can be kinda disheartening to see how 'slow' it is to paint everybody to competition standard! It doesn't hurt to knock out the troops. ;D
Loving your painting videos so far, especially these ones, I'm curious if it would work for other chapters like Dark Angels? (got a bunch I need to get table ready...)
The Dark Angels colours might be a little dark overall, but I'd try overbrushing Caliban Green, then a very - very! - light drybrush along the edges with something like Niblet Green for the highlighting.
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio Thanks! I'll also check the Dark Angels tutorial you have too and steal a few ideas.
Excellent ! Great help indeed , thank you 🙏
Just started the hobby. I have two little kids at home and a 40hr week job, you sir, are a life saver! Thx for this!
Gotta make use of the time you've got when you can, right? :D
I just got that character yesterday now I know exactly what to do
pretty refreshing video man good job
