Speed Painting Ultramarines

In this video, I will show you how speed paint Ultramarines - the poster boys of the 41st Millennium! I'll show you how to get a tabletop standard really quickly, and then also show you how to take this up a notch for tabletop+

This process can also be used on tanks - which is great when building out a whole army!

Finally someone made a good and fast video on ultramarines. Thank you will totally use this for my models.

[CarterK-rv]

I’m thinking about starting ultramarines and this video really helps

[dennissmithy]

I really like the simplicity and detail you dont need weeks to make good figures the shadows and edging do alot of justice

[yiningsu]

“Commit immediate heresy.” Lol. This is a nice guide for my crimson fists, thx!

[coreyr.]

This is almost exactly how I was imagining painting. Good video

[MariusGage]

It blows my mind that black legion goes over so well

[Rannos]

Love this paint scheme! Getting ready for 10th!!

[Alkhatibr]

Do you find it necessary to do the black primer before the macragge blue spray?

[sirnuke]

Super helpful guide. Thank you! Quick question: it might be the lighting, but the shoulder pad seemed to get glossy around 3:46 (whereas it looked more matte at 3:40). Did you do anything special to achieve that look?

[BK-qcrr]

im gonna try this on nids lol wish me luck

[kezhengleow]

Some question to ask
Do you base a layer of macragge blue paint after done priming?
And after the space marine painted, does it has a large contrast between the light blue surface and the black shadow area? If it has a large contrast, what would you suggest to build the transaction

[kylekeenan]

What Brush did you use, it had a great tip when doing the recessed shading.

[JamesThompson-]

DO you think Celestium blue is better than Leviadon blue for the recess shading?

[patrickthomas]

hey just wonder did you spray it black first then spray blue? or did you just spray blue?

[Chickensaretasty]

Was the macragge blue done with an airbrush or a spray can?

[Vanklomp]

Really good quick method - if you was to do 4th company what colours would you use for the shoulders?

[generalwilhelm]

Can you do a minotaurs chapter speed painting guide?

[danielwilliamson]

Are you actually going to go back to doing painting guides for individual models? I used to watch a lot of your stuff and you haven’t done any of the more recent models. Are you not doing those types of tutorials anymore?

[patrickvaughan]

I'm hoping to get this good lol but my macrage blue never turns out this color, it's like a duller version

[ricknaum]

I love these short how to videos to get troopers painted up. You have never really done a “pink” themed video - how about some Emperor’s Children? They get no love 🥲
