No-Fuss Ultramarines: Everything You Need to Know! [How I Paint Things]

Рет қаралды 59,680

Күн бұрын

From start to finish, everything you'll need to know about painting Marines, with some tips which might prove useful to old hands as well as newcomers to the hobby. These basic methods will work for just about any Space Marine Chapter, as well as Ultramarines. All you need is to tweak the colour choices for the three stage drybrush and shade step, and there are a ton of extant How I Paint Things guides which should point you in the right direction if you need some suggestions there!
Ultramarines are cool. There, I said it! There was a time when Blood Angels were on the cover of Warhammer 40,000 and before them were the Black Templars, and they were always cool - just because they're 'on the box' doesn't mean they're not neat. Standard? Vanilla? Ultramarines are still made of the same gigantic slabs of Fightanium and Murderite as any other Space Marine, and set the standard in lore for years about what it meant to be to be proud Astartes before the arrival of certain authors on the scene and the point at which everyone regurgitated memes ceaselessly as fact... but I digress!

This video really helped me. I've always liked the Ultramarines since I was a kid. Now at 37 and able to afford the hobby, when I returned 3 years ago Ultramarines were my first stop. But after trying a few painting attempts, I got frustrated. I tried a few other chapters that were simple and even some that weren't. Each time I was frustrated at either the scheme or the fact they just weren't Ultramarines. It got to the point last week where I was ready to swerve Space Marines altogether (upsetting as I'd just got HH: Age of Darkness). But this video has really changed my mind. Thank you so much for uploading this. It may just have saved my hobby.

Damn, you convinced me to try contrasts. I've already had some success with Kislev Flesh and Bugman Glow as a skin color, but the contrast you showed looks great and requires much less work. Apart from that, a great and clear guide.

@bluedotdinosaur 11 ай бұрын

FYI one very easy additional step you can add to brighten up large power armor panels that are too stained by the wash: thin down the base armor color with water in a 50/50 (or more) ratio and brush it back on the wide flat areas like a thin glaze. This requires no fine skill and goes very quickly. It will be very translucent but it's JUST enough original color to return richness to the base - and tone down unwanted coffee stains or splotches.

@SonicSledgehammerStudio 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! Faces are something which can be pretty daunting, but the best thing to do is clip a few spare heads off a sprue, glue them up to something you can hold and just start painting to experiment. The best way to overcome those nerves is practice, and there's so many spares in most GW boxes that you're not short on material.

Glad it helped! Contrast is a useful tool for stuff which has a lot of detail and texture, but on Marines... eh, I don't know. It doesn't really do it for me compared to traditional methods. It's not as if they don't have a purpose, but I prefer the old ways for bigger, flatter panels like you get in power armour.

I haven't done it myself, qnd I'm a little slower painting my stuff but if you prime the shoulder pads separately you can get the trim from the outside and not have to worry too much about messing up. This is def more useful on models that are white or colors that are harder to touch up. I'm sure you already knew that but that's for the newer folks here. Happy painting guys!

Hey mate. Awesome video as always. Can I ask a really dumb question? The cork and spike setup you have for painting the head, how did you actually set up the head on the spike? Was it just a simple drill thingy? What's the spike made of? I just tried to paint a Stormcast with an exposed face and it was a pain in the ass and turned out pretty grim, so looking to try doing the heads seperately.

@SonicSledgehammerStudio 2 жыл бұрын

It's not a dumb question if you can't spot how it's done! I buffed the bottom of the neck joint a little flatter with a nail file and then just drilled a hole into it. I have a bunch of corks set aside for the macabre duty of painting heads; just push a dressmaker's pin into them, then clip the head of the pin off. You'll be able to use the 'head spike' again and again with a tiny dab of superglue to hold the head in place while you're painting.

So long as you make sure the lids are closed, it shouldn't really matter which way up you store your paints. It's far more important to make sure you properly shake your paints before use. Any sludge left at the bottom means you haven't shaken it enough. A ball bearing (that doesn't rust) or glass bead in the pot can really help agitate the pigment through the medium. Once I added agitators I found a lot of my paints applied better and had better coverage as I wasn't shaking them enough.

Actually, it's good to varnish a model before you apply decals, as it makes the surface better to apply to. In some cases, depending upon the final finish, some model makers use a matte or gloss varnish FIRST, and then the opposite varnish AFTER applying the decals. This acts like a "colour filter" in Photoshop, whereby all of the the model has the same "colour/texture" outdoor to the final vanish application. Anyway, why didn't you paint the eyes? He looks blind...

@SonicSledgehammerStudio 2 жыл бұрын

If I'd been thinking about it at the time, I'd have used the brush-on varnish first where the decals were going to be, then spray varnished later. Citadel's decals are generally pretty good, though, and especially with those made in the last couple of years you don't see the film backing once they're dry - even more so with the solvent layer! As for painting eyes, I generally don't bother for anything destined for the tabletop. You just don't see them at arm's length! With the scales involved, once you put one of these guys on the table he's standing about 300 yards away - difficult to spot a real person's eyes at that range, anyway. There comes a point where you've got to pick some corners to cut if you want to finish something the simplest way possible, and eyes are usually the first to go!
