For those who want to avoid citadel paints, Vallejo has an equivalent to the contrast range called Xpress Colors, and one of the paints is called Heretic Turquoise and is obviously designed to paint Sons of Horus.

Excellent work Andy! I like the color scheme and the silver dry brushing looks good. I appreciate the Legions Imperialis tutorials as I know they involve a lot of work. Thanks for making and sharing them.

Really loving those Legions Imperialis videos, keep them coming please!

Just what I needed, about to begin a load of these, more please 👏

Lots of helpful tips in this video. Thanks for the great content. Can't wait to see your video on World Eaters! ;)

Another fantastic tutorial, really nailed the Sons of Horus colour scheme. You're really making it difficult to decide which Legion to go with now....... Roll on Solar Auxillia Part 2. Thanks and keep up the good work

They look fantastic, nice work yet again! Waiting one more week is killing me

Another great painting video for the sons of Horus. Ideally anticipate your video on painting the best legion of all time, iron within.

I think you identified for me why I've always liked Epic (and why I mostly paint 15mm historical these days). From about the 5:30 min mark. Get it slapped on and get it on a table Every faction is a hoard army so it levels the playing field in terms of effort vs reward. The spectacle and enjoyment for me is in the sweep of the army. The table presence of the whole force. Soooo many tanks :) And simplicity and readability in the paint job is key. It's like Contrast was designed for Epic; everyone can have a great looking army no matter their skill

Lovely results. Inspires me to give it a go.

Great video, I am doing Sons of Horus so appreciate it 😊

They definitely look cool. Simple is always good. There's a part of me that wants to get enough of this to paint as Ultramarines vs Word Bearers. Maybe down the road.

You're really knocking these out of the park. Great tutorial!

Cheers Andy!

Loving this series of videos, lack of source material for Solar Auxilia is disappointing. Looking forward to more in this series.

Can't wait to see some Word Bearers done at this scale. :)

Yes, please bring on the bases!

I think this setup would work really well for alpha legion, only change I need to make is a pure white prime instead of a grey. Can’t wait to try it out! I just need to see if I can find some of the hydra transfers for my tanks and dreads

Very good. I’m seriously looking at this. Please do the other Legions.

Loving this series. Decided to dip in with a couple boxes of solar auxilia... Whoops lol

If you are using a DSLR camera, get some Macro Lens Extenders. I use them for insect photos.

Thanks!

Looks great! Really like the Son's of Horus colors. I only wish I could afford to buy in to the new game right now. But I just can't justify the price right now.

The “free” option is to boost total user numbers, it looks better to investors.

Thanks Andy. Legend! I do love those bases!

Someone asked for blood angels and i second it

Next time you paint up some infantry for marines, would you be prepared to try your silver drybrush on at least one of them and show a comparison? It makes such a difference on the vehicles and I assume it would take seconds on the infantry so I'd be really interested to see if it had the same effect. Also, casting my vote for your suggested basing video. Keep up the epic videos!

For the Dark (Algorithm) Gods!

Great video. 👍 Please also do one on bases.

Great vid❤️❤️

Great video as always and loving the epic content. Any chance of a blood angels tutorial?

I need a blood angels guide. For basically everything lol

Great couple of videos, really making it look less intimidating and easy to achieve success with. Years ago I planned on some corrupted Titans for AT (never got round to it), having had fun doing so for BFG a long time ago. As such I’m looking at Death Guard for LI. Any recommendations for quick paint schemes and appropriate speed/contrasts that would work?

More legion scheme videos would be really cool

I would love a tiny Sanguinius and to see blood angels

Gray Seer must be enough of a difference from a base paint of white. The last time I tried Terradon Turquoise mine turned out a lot brighter and not the dark sea green you see on the box art.

Great job Andy, I can see away of doing all the legions, contrast pinky purple of your choice over silver emperors children, contrast red over gold thousand suns, etc etc but the eighth have me scratching my head, a nice dark contrast blue over silver can get me a nice heresy era midnight clad blue but I’m damned if I’m gonna paint lighting on the infantry in the normal brush method, even the tanks might be a stretch in terms of getting the scale right. So as I know your also a fan of the eighth Andy I was wondering if you had any ideas of how to make them look good without selling our souls and more importantly sanity to the ruinous powers?

Beautiful result. You don't use contrast medium to dilute the nuln oil. Have you found that water does the trick the same way, just fine? I've heard cautionary notes in this regard.

Thanks for doing the Sons of Horus. I wanted to do them and wasn't sure if I should use the Sons of Horus base paint or Aeldari Emerald contrast to get the proper color for them. The Terradon Turquoise does look awesome. What color did you use for the miniatures tiny base between their feet?

An Iron Warriors version would be helpful. I'm mostly trying to figure out how I'll handle the hazard stripes.

Death Guard, please!

They look good, but I think it's a crying shame you didn't use a metallic undercoat!

Will terradon turquoise still pop like that if i already base coated my figures with mechanicus standard grey?

I paint my normal sized Dark Angels Silver than Shyish Purple than put a slightly thined coat of Black Templar over it and Blood Tearers red for those parts would that work at this scale?

I know it's a slim chance, but will we see you paint Iron Hands?

Damn, I has hoping to give Legions Imperialis a pass, but the models are looking really nice...

Do you have to Spay black and then Grey or can you just go straight to grey?

This is class any plans to do wolves?

Do you thin the contrast paints at all?

do a video for bases only pls!

Was the nuln oil applied to the vehicles as well?

What did you glue them to the lollipop sticks with?

Why is your terradon turquoise so much darker than mine?

Ploom is what's on the head
