Painting gold Salamanders? Next level Warhammer 40k miniature painting #spacemarines #warhammer40k

Always think outside the box when trying new schemes! Starting with a metallic undercoat when painting Warhammer miniatures may sound crazy but it works! It's also really fun to paint minis this way too. This Salamander space marine, for example, takes a lot of the yellow tones from the gold so when we are done painting the green is bright and has a very subtle shine. This paint scheme combines lots of different painting methods - slapchop, underpainting, highlighting, shdaing - to name just a few.

Warhammer painting tutorials be like: “how to paint lizard green. Step 1: *Gold*”

1) Paint gold entirely.
2) Paint over with green until gold is no longer visible.

I love this concept. I wonder how it would look if you intentionally spread some of the paint too thin over the top coat to give it a worn dowj feeling and have them feel weary and worn with a more stylised armour style

[rickmoser]

looks like he belongs in a necron army

[RedCrusader-phvk]

That's a neat lookin green man right there I tell you what

[arrownymouse]

You make it look easy, those brush strokes are clean. Looks incredible

[agnody]

Man I fucking love Warhammer. Good stuff buddy 👍

[Shothells]

Damn, really motivating me to paint that free infernus marine they gave me at the store lol

[stonelion]

I love how you can undercoat a mini with pretty much anything, and it will look great. It will look slightly different depending on what you use, but pretty much every option looks better than a black and white undercoat.

Just when i thought you couldnt add more highlights, you highlighted the highlights XD looks AMAZING

[corgi]

That is genuinely a genius method to paint them with! :)

[thegingercat]

Totally stole the blue highlights on the black for my salamanders looks very clean nice work! I use a base of white scar and black Templar contrast for the black to give it a faded look, then thunder hawk blue highlights brings it together nice work man!

[MrZangetsu]

Honestly surprised by the gold basecoat and the amount of brush control looks amazing, good job

[SmugLantern]

Ain't ever seen it done with gold before, that's real interesting!

[tylerserr]

I don’t usually comment on videos but this one is just *chef’s kiss* I feel excited to paint my entire salamanders army now!

[klingon]

*glances up at my infernus squad I’m waiting for the paint to dry on, knowing damn well I won’t ever be able to paint them this good*

[TheSailingLord]

I absolutely love the outcome, this looks like an awesome technique to get a full army painted to a great standard. Do you think it would work on bigger areas like on a vehicle or dreadnought too? Maybe an idea for a future video? 😂

[wesleydoogan]

This looks rad. might use those on my striking scorpions

[Cyberdyne_research]

What’s your process for painting? How do you figure out the order of the layers?

[NedRigNerd]

Besides going bright on the highlights, I would think Dark Angels before i ever thought oh those are Salamanders.
