one tutorial i know of is on duncan rhodes' website, but they only show the contrast method. i would think the "classic" method would include the aptly named "word bearers red." though i'm unsure

I'm so glad that I came across your channel. I've just recently started looking to get into the warhammer 40k miniatures. I've been torn on which army I wanted to start with. Was leaning towards the Castodes army, however after seeing this shadowkeeper set I'm decided. I've subscribed and will be looking forward to your videos!

Awsome 😃 I’m glad your getting into warhammer, it’s a great hobby with so many different ways to enjoy it aswell. Custodes are a great army to start with as well. Small model count and relatively straight forward to paint. Good luck and I hope you enjoy yourself with it 😁

While the content of your videos is great, what I really appreciate about it is the brevity. Dunc's Custodes video conveys all the same info as this one but in 3 times as long. Rapidly becoming my favorite channel for painting tutorials! I'm sure you get plenty enough requests already, but would you ever consider doing a video on AdMech Serberys Sulphurhounds?

I eventually would love to have most factions done, it’s just having to get hold of miniatures and time at the moment ☺️ but I’m sure eventually I’ll have something that will help you get them painted 👍🏻

@TableTopReadyYoutube 2 жыл бұрын

they're not that different to the gold custode I've done. The robes I would start with Corax white. apothecary white contrast all over, recess shade with some administratum grey if you want to make the folds a bit darker. layer back up with Corax white and then highlight with white scar.

You know, beyond how instructional these videos are they also give a bunch of attention to subfactions I didn't even know existed. Even if there isn't much lore on them your paint schemes alone usually sell me on the faction!

I like the idea of multiple schemes for a faction, it gives people a lot more choice and you can mix and match if you like different things I show

Do you think you will show off the shadowkeepers as other units like a dreadnought or dawneagle jetbikes?

@TableTopReadyYoutube Жыл бұрын

Probably not. But once you have painted a unit this way, you’ll find you actually know how to paint anything this way. I would be using the same techniques and colours. Just take your time and plan the process if your worried. I believe in yah 💪🏻 you can do it

@isr4el187 2 ай бұрын

I followed this tutorial to paint a variation of the shadowkeepers. I'm struggling to figure out how I could do your gem method but in red. Could I use Mephiston Red instead of kantor blue? and if so what would you replace blue horror with? I'm not sure if there's a light enough red to get the same effect.

@TableTopReadyYoutube 2 ай бұрын

I would use Mephiston red, evil sync and fire dragon bright

from my experience with painting gold ( Thousand sons main army), it is not a good idea to water down gold. its too unwieldy even if using small amount of water.

Personally I find I have more control thinning it and doing multiple layers, just like any other acrylic paint. But everyone is different and you should paint the way you like. Thanks for your comment. I like learning how other people prefer to paint 😁
