Ok guys, you asked for them and I was only too happy to paint the glorious Celestial Lions! Don't let their simple paint scheme fool you, this Space Marine Chapter is awesome. Please don't just take this video as their full lore drop, their history is expansive and full of epic moments. I'd love to see more of these guys out on battlefields, so let me know if I've won you over to get some painted! We need a name for these lore drop/painting tutorial series-any ideas?
PS
I'll be giving away different codes for Warhammer videogames over on Twitch this Thursday (May 21st) while also streaming the classic Space Marine game! Hopefully I'll be able to stream Space Marine 2 soon...?
We'll be live from 8PM to 12AM Thursday evening Irish time! Click the link below to follow and get notified when we go live!

Basing scheme:
AK Terrain Texture paste in Firelands-perfect dupe for Martian Ironcrust but a lot cheaper!
Allow each stage to fully dry in between!
Gryph-Hound Orange (contrast)
Ryza Rust (dry)
Screaming Skull (layer) Light drybrush over the top!
Paint List:
Chaos Black (This coat makes the metallic spray adhere better!)
Retributor Armour (can be brushed on but if you're doing a full army of these guys, it's worth investing in a rattle can!)
Macragge Blue
Leadbelcher
Abaddon Black
Reikland Fleshshade
Ironbreaker
Caledor Sky
Corvus Black
Gryph-Hound Orange

I always loved these guys! Tried to stand to the inquisition for their misdeeds (which nearly lead to their chapter being destroyed), even when being killed and sabotaged by Inquisitorial agents they were missive boons in the third war of Armageddon, was deemed honorable enough by Chaplain Grimaldus that he ignored their request of a final stand, and then when Grimaldus was faced with a Warboss that was giving him trouble the Celestial Lion Chapter Master strolled in and asked to one v one it and was able to keep it still long enough for Grimaldus to kill it at the cost of his arm and leg. Was sad that the Chapter Master was killed when he returned to their home world (if I'm remembering right). Thinking back on it now, I decide to paint my Space Marines has any of the sons of Dorn (and maybe sons of Sanguinius now too) guess adding a unit of Lions wouldn't be too bad. Also, great work on the model it looks amazing!

I absolutely love the Celestial Lions. They're a fantastic chapter with a great story. I used to have a pretty sizeable force of them a few years back. Unfortunately I had to sell them. I still regret that. Maybe I'll start over one day.

Good job on this guy Andy, a very effective scheme. And yep yellow jackets are real, I hadn’t heard of them either till a recent trip to Warhammer world where i noticed one in their “lots of different marine colour scheme cabinet”. Another cool one to see would be the star phantoms as they don’t get much love.

Sons of the Phoenix would be really cool, a good opportunity to paint white but I don't think there's enough lore on them to be fun even though they're theorized to be Emperor's Children successors What about the Mantis Warriors, Astral Claws, heck a lot of the Badab war chapters would be awesome!! Great video as always Andy

Stylish Successors. :) You could do Cowled Wardens? They got new lore in the latest Dark Angels codex and I found you can basically do them with a version of your Black Templar scheme.
@daviddalglish9430 13 күн бұрын
Yasssss, Celestial Lions are my favourite chapter, such a depth of lore to them (mostly heartbreaking and tragic sadly). I have a load of bits saved for making a force of them including those old Stormcast lion shoulder pads and for the Chapter Master, the lightning claw from the forgeworld Lufgt Huron model. I think my summer project is decided ✨🦁

Would be nice to see your take on either the White Panthers or the Angels Encarmine - I always liked the idea of the Angels Encarmine having the pure white Death Company Armour and Sanguinary Guard with white armour and black wings - when I had the DC Dread with Blood Talons before, I had the visual of the white Dreadnought with the blood splatter from the Talons smearing across the front armour panels around the Sarcophagus as a visual.

It depends how fussy you are but you might be able to use 28mm medieval shield transfers although normally they are the Lion rampant which is similar to the bret design you used. So far never been able to just find a Lions head.

Yea I repainted my 4 000 points ish at the time of Imperial Fists to Celestial Lions (Same primers and blue used here) and I love it! It started in 9th and I refused to play my Imperial Fists as Ironhands etc so I repainted them and the other 2 000 points after that have been fun to paint, its so motivating to get things quickly on the table as bettle ready then finish them up when you feeling it.
