Be'Lakor has to be one of my favorite models GW has ever released. The model is a beautiful piece and I had a ton of fun painting him when he released (took me a month of slowly chipping away a him. Took me a while to field him as he was a bit of a mess to field with Chaos Marines, but the Daemons codex made that easier.

@@ryanneilan3223 As a different idea, I used one of the thin cleaning sponge cloths you can get for mine (I forget the actual name for them), and put it in the lid of the tupperware, as it's just thick enough that the baking parchment is level with the lip, so no reaching into the tupperware to get the paint. I found that the damp sponge holds water for longer and doesn't need to be replaced as often as paper towel.

Always loved Be'lakor (Bella) and gonna make my Bella according to this tutorial, even though I know you make it look way easier than it probably is. Thinking of showing the different gods power in him, by using Blood for the Blood god on the hooks and base instead of lava, Nurgle corruption at the holes in his wings as it was about to regenerate and his tongue as Slaanesh. Thinking about using some more Tzeenzy colours on the swords smoke effect. EDIT: Changed my mind, and will paint the talons on the wings as "bone"ish with blood for the blood god on them.

First of all, Thank you very much for the videos Is showing all of the proper painting techniques. I am still very new to all of this but your videos have helped me a lot in this area. You know the only question I have and I hope you can answer is when you were painting the base and using Dawnstone was it just regular Dawnstone or Dry Dawnstone? Because when I looked it up and there were 2 different versions of it It and since you were dry brushing it I just wanted to make sure.

@DuncanRhodesDRPA Жыл бұрын

Hi Matthew. It depends on the colour you are using. Some of the Contrast paints are chalky by nature so this issue will occur unfortunately. You can try some water and see what that does but personally, I avoid the chalky colours (such as Space Wolves grey or Ultra Marines Blue).

Great video, but why did you jump around so much? Like all the leather- you based the leather, then did some metalics, then cloth, then the leather again, then skulls, etc. etc. I think the only area you didn't jump around was the skin and wings. On such a large model, isn't it better to just do one thing at a time until complete before moving on to the next?
