Thanks for the shout out Guy! I love the freehand detail on the forehead. It's fun to get creative to add splashes of accent colour on these marines. I really enjoy the "less is more" sculpting design, it seems to make it easier to be creative with these guys.

Enjoyed the mini scat version of the theme tune way more than I should've at the end

Pouring a box full of citadel pots onto a table takes some serious bravery.

0:47 Guy's color-blindness coming in strong: describes "hot pink" and shows a very neutral purple. Kidding aside, this is one of your best speed painting videos!

GW: gives almost every youtuber that has ever said "warhammer" a whole age of darkness box for promo

Also GW: gives Guy a *singular* beakie

Eric and Guy would be the hobby crossover of dreams man, all the chill energy in one place

You mention the namesake paint being a little yellowy.

I’ve often thought a good painting challenge would be to paint a model ONLY using paints that are named around that model/faction.

Very Minimal mixing is permitted.

And you’re allowed to pick any base coat (spray can stuff) though get bonus points for using an appropriate spray can.

Example: Painting an eldar model using only eldar-related named citadel paints.

I thought of this idea when looking at the Seraphon named stuff while picking paints for my… well my Seraphon.

Howdy Guy - Love the video, me and my brother have been watching your videos for a while and we have just picked up our first starter kit this weekend. He's going to paint up the Space Marines and I'm starting my Necron army!

Somewhere on his editing machine guy has a folder with dozens of takes of Dana saying "Pale Sand".

I'm curious how many takes are in that folder.

For the sake of speed, the freehand gold sketching on the helmet can be simplified or omitted for the bulk of the troops. While Sergeants, officers, and more elite troops get more varied, complicated, or personalized ornamentation. Both to show the differences in rank, and to save your hands from carpel tunnel.

Speaking of fixing mistakes: Keep a second brush on hand. When you make a mistake quickly dip it in water and use that to erase the mistake. If you are quick enough you can fully remove the mark with a bit of light brushing. Be patient, sometimes it takes a little bit to get it off, but it'll come off. Don't flood the whole model with water, and wait for that area to fully dry before continuing. This has saved me on many occassions.

My favorite Warhammerk channel posted a video on a topic I love. Thanks

[GrayPrimer]

This was a great approach to a painting tutorial. Clear instruction, additional context when needed, lovely visuals, and nicely catered to all types of painters. Thanks so much!

[KabinMiniatures]

Awesome! I'm doing 30k Night Lords myself, really excited about the new edition!

I love this tutorial because it’s cool way to paint Emperors children but it’s also useful for me since I use some of the same paints for my homebrew successor chapter for blood angels

I really love the way you link other awesome builders who aren't getting the attention they deserve. I found Eric's channel because of this video, and it is a WEALTH of information. I am getting into the hobby again, but this time with my daughter (11) and his videos have increased our technical modeling knowledge and our lore discussions.

I love how you put the transfer on backwards, even though the FW sheet has decals that you can use properly on the right pad. Ha!

I really missed these basic painting Videos. I was just about to look up a Video with some easy weatering and there you are with greate Tips for the average human :)

Thrilled to see this! I have 40 guys I have to grime and damage up a bit, and I wasn't sure how to do it efficiently! Thanks!

Tamiya's extra thin is great, but check out the Tamiya Airbush Cleaner - 250ml for the same price as 40ml of the cement and it's the same stuff! :O
