How to Paint a Blood Angel Intercessor - Space Marine - Warhammer 40K

For his first miniature in 20 years, Core decides to tackle something that he never painted before. A loyalist Space Marine (He has always been more of a heretic). And what better than a noble Blood Angel Intercessor to warm up his skills and confidence?! In this video, Core will share his experience painting this miniature, the challenges of working with the gear that you have at hand and how much freakin edge highlights you can find on a Space marine armor. You 'll even get some freehand painting for your time.

"I haven't painted in 20 years" proceeds to paint all the Blood Angels chapter, company, and squad markings freehand

That's frikin' amazing, man! After 20 years such a result! Masking fluid over the joint pins? I woundn't think about that. So, even from a dinosaur like you people can still learn something and take away some cool ideas. Thanks! You have a new subscriber right here, good sir ; )

Wow! Haven't painted a miniature in 34 years. This is an enjoyable memory moment. Cheers.

[talondanger]

Super qualité de production. J'aime beaucoup la transparence sur les erreurs rencontrées en cours de peinture. Bravo et vivement d'autres vidéos.

[ghostofsolomon]

For years I didn't watch anything on YT with normal play speed. And I enjoyed every second of your work. Thanks.

[darksheepvids]

Nice work and thank you for the tip on the free handing !!!

Great painting! My first space marines I painted were the metal Grey Hunters box set from 2nd edition. I got them in 1995!

Really happy you posted to r/minipainting. The production quality is insane for such a small channel, and i really enjoyed your “frictionless” approach.
The end product is also great.

[rujv]

Extraordinary crispy contrast on that hip-guard.

Just started my Red Talons (IH successor chapter) and came across your tutorial. New to the hobby so I'm a noob, your video was clear, articulate, paced, and edited well so I could reference specific points/methods while painting.
Seriously keep doing these videos they're a huge help.

Love your work on something as simple as an Intercessor. Great brush work too! I really appreciate your camera angle for watching your painting as well. I feel some hobbyist have an issue with is but you've managed to find the sweet spot as for you. Really looking forward to your next vids. You've got my subscription!

Superb ! Well done !
Painting a whole army would require shortcuts and strong planning. And a force of will :)

[oliveribrahim]

How what an incredible result for your first miniature in a long time! That reveal was probably one of the best I have ever seen! the production quality / camera quality! How did you even do that!??!?!

[CORIOLANVS]

sacre bleu (rouge) they look great!
merci et salut d'allemagne!
🩸👼🩸👼🩸

[PiggieGamez]

Very nice result!! you look like you have been paintingfor years with no break. How much do you thin the paint for you zenithil highlight and scarlet red basecoat, what do you thin it with?

[MH-ezpo]

Je me suis remis à war40k il y a peu et je cherchais des tutos pour peindre des bloods angels, je tombe par hasard sur ce tuto !

Super bien monté et explications claires ! Ça sera un plaisir de regarder de nouvelles vidéos !

PS : Petite question, dans le fil de fer pour'peindre les bras, on peut mettre de la patafix au lieu de la colle au bout du fil ? Ou sa laissera des résidus chiants à enlever ?

[Rich.Echo.B]

Brilliant paint job. Your presenting style is very relaxed and informative too. Thank you sharing. If I can ask, what are the brushes you are using? They kept a nice point throughout. Are they still available?

[rakdos]

Amazing video, easy subscribe and looking forward to your next projects :)

[FunMushizzle]

So you have mini wet palate, mini brushes, mini holder, mini paints but haven't painted a mini in 20 years? I feel like I'm being Rick Rolled. You are awesome though! Thank you for making this video.
