I don't know why this got recommended to me and I know nothing about painting but this was really well done and informative and I feel like I learned something new.

You're putting out tutorials better than some of gw's

Tested this tutorial and my first squad member is looking rly awesome, thx for the tips. Chest eagle was the hardest part to highlight, but it managed to get pretty good!

Absolutely love using Black Templar for my black weapon profiles. It was nice to see in this video!

With my army mostly red, I made haste to watch this content ASAP! :D I Learned a lot, as I do not keep things simple and that makes painting even one model wayyyy too long, and I hope to speed things up significantly after this! Thanks again and Looking forward to the next one : )

[Drakio]

that was really fast and so god damn VIBRANT! I love it :3

[Sanguine_Vampire_Lord]

Very glad I found your channel, just got the Combat Patrol for my entry set & to have them next to my blood angel omnibus. Definitely going to have these videos in the background when I start painting😂👌

Oh wow that Baal red looks amazing and covers so well! I may have to pick up a pot or twenty lol

[cameronarmstrong]

Epic, this is like a cheat code! The how to paint colours videos are excellent.

[GrantFirth]

This red looks nice and bright compare to some of the newer tutorials for blood angels. It’s a nice blend of the newer darker red and the old bright red of the blood angels

[numaios]

Hello can you do a vid for speed painting on the green contrast coloris for exemple dark angel please.thanks.

[nicomenicucci]

This video is so cool. I want to see Blue Armour. 😊❤️ Best regards from Italy.

Briliant video. Baal red looks like an amazing color
What brush are you using in this vid?

[TomasTrsek-xpzd]

Amazing tutorial. Thanks a lot for that.

[nikot.]

Solid recipe, definitely have to give that Baal red a pickup sometime soon. Have you considered doing an updated Night Lords recipe? Would love to see your take on that.

Man, I need to work on my touch with the spray-priming. I found Baal red WAY too opaque for my janky priming. I got very little shading. I think I just went too heavy with the light. I also did a 3-layer prime with black, grey and white, so maybe that is too much for Baal red? Yours looks super. Fortunately, I am just getting back into painting and don't much care if some of my individual units come out janky. Great video! THX! :)

Great tutorial. I’m new to 40k and will be following this guide as soon as my modeling tools arrive. What color should I use for close support troops? There’s too many shades of yellow for me to choose.

[JanBaucke]

For me as a Blood Angels player this is a brilliant 9.5 out of 10!

You lost half a point for the red helmet w/o a skull or drop of blood on its forehead to make it a Intercessor Sergeant. So this is a Blood Angel Assault Intercessor, a Close Support and that role has yellow helmets.
To me it is somewhat harder to paint the helmets to the right Battlefield role (red = Battleline, yellow = Close Support, blue = Fire Support and gold for Veteran & Command like Lt. & Cpt.) than just paint all the minis in red.

Would love to see how you use "Black Legion" next

[AdamRowan-Lovell]

I have used the Baal red on wraithbone white and it looks really great and really pleased with it. I have begun painting black legion on the soft parts of the armour, etc, but got a bit of it on the armour itself. How do I correct that? I have tried covering it with baal red contrast paint, but it doesn't cover it. I have used Mephiston Red base paint to cover, but it looks blotchy as it's not the same colour. Any help with this would be very appreciated.
