28.04.2023Bah, you had me until the edge highlighting , I hate edge highlighting !
I'll try dry brushing the titanium white on before all the other details and just bee ultra careful afterwards 😂

28.04.2023The only thing that sucks is paying $20 for the white scar. I only need to paint one apothecary white, rest of my army is a totally different color so it doesn’t really make sense to buy it for one model.
Disendromeder
28.04.2023Could you do a video of how to make the base? If there isn't already one
Peter van Zon
28.04.2023Thank you very much for this tutorial! I'm now going to use this for my first ever Space marine Army. Question. What did you use for the red dust effect on the legs!? I'd like to do the same thing.

Anvilarm07
28.04.2023Dang, that grey wash looks amazing. Also thanks for the tip in the Bold Titanium White.
Bodger
28.04.2023Would you say this new shade is a more effective way of painting white vs the apothecary white contrast paint? They seem quite similar in method and finish?
kamen25
28.04.2023was the soulblight grey or any of your contrast paints thinned down at all?
SeymourButz
27.04.2023So stoked to paint my ravenwing apoth, but I've already primed it black 🙁 hahha
Nick davis
27.04.2023Mmm yes a new way too do stormtrooper
Camy252 Camy
27.04.2023Didn't realise the new washes were out! Awesome!
Ansbach
27.04.2023Just picked up some of that bold titanium white the other day. Best white paint out there imo.
MarcusTullman
27.04.2023Transitions are really jarring but cool stuff, really helpful examples
Cristobal Mena
27.04.2023Esperen ¿hay otra forma de pintar las figuras blancas?
Julian Kelly
27.04.2023Would Corax white work as the primer/base?
Jade
27.04.2023this looks so easy but i feel like its not easy at all
Michal Zaleski
27.04.2023When U do this, it looks so quick’n’easy.

26.04.2023I thought this was going to be crap but was very pleased to be very very wrong, new sub o/
Indigo
26.04.2023Why Bold Titanium White out of interest, and not any of the others like Vallejo cold white? Is the Pro Acryl one a heavy body acrylic? Not familiar with the brand
TheDeadPoolfan
26.04.2023Why did you use just contrast paint?
Also, what did you base it with at the end?
david trainor
26.04.2023This really help when I start painting T'au, greatly appreaciated.
40KWarrior Tuber
26.04.2023Im not a fan of contrast paints, but that turned out very well! Great video !
Litera P
26.04.2023Very nice Video! What did you use for the base, I really like the look?
White Wolf of Yorkshire
26.04.2023Did you have to paint many layers of the red?
c47_nebula mkv
26.04.2023The end effect is amazing! Do you thin the soulblight in any way, or just have very little of it on your brush?
ANGRON
26.04.2023This is gonna help me so much when I start HH. Thank you.
thebigoneisbig
26.04.2023Absolutely useless video
thebigoneisbig
24.04.2023Great advice. Undercoat white, the paint the mini and do some highlights. F-ing genius here
Andy Muscarello
24.04.2023Any reason to use soulblight grey over apothecary white?
Linda Clemens
24.04.2023I like the Martian base, did you spray the legs, and with what ? I'd like to use that effect, great tutorial.
James Flint
24.04.2023Looks amazing by the way, but would i need to use White Scar out of the pot over the flat Panels because of using the Soulblight Grey all of the model to bring back the white ?
OmegaIdiot
24.04.2023Could i do apothecary white instead of soulblight?
Nicholas Mattiello
24.04.2023A nice bright base to contrast the.. white? Go dark base but besides that love it bro. Nice little squad markings ya make it so easy looking but gonna try that connect the dots goodness
Luke W
24.04.2023Gonna give this white armour a crack on my SWL Clone Troopers but the whole white spray prime and Soulblight shade is really a nice look.
Vishal Gor
24.04.2023Thanks for the video! Will definitely use this method. I wanted to ask what you used for the basing? Specifically, what paint did you use to get that dust effect on the marine's legs? Thanks in advance for any reply.
L B
24.04.2023Going to give this a go. I REALLY want to paint my new sisters of battle in white armor but I’ve tried white before and it went poorly. This looks like you made the perfect video for me. Emperor bless you
John Almore
24.04.2023How exactly do you get the dusty boots effect with your base?
Kiwi129
23.04.2023This is perfect! I've been struggling to know how to go about painting my custom white Tau sept and have used both White Scar and Corax White sprays but never known how to get a crisp white armour whilst still being able to highlight and that soulblight grey is exactly the thing I need!
Jordan Florko
23.04.2023Was wondering how that Pro Acryl Titanium White contrasts when highlighting an off white like Wraith Bone?
prebioticc
23.04.2023Amazing, would this work for Biel tan???
iamthefly 1
23.04.2023what's your recipe for the base ?
A J
23.04.2023Will try this for my white scars 😊
Etienne CZ
23.04.2023Great video! Do you think that applying the Soulbright grey through airbrush is a good idea? Will I archive similar results? Thank you
VINCEVAUGHNDOOM
23.04.2023I primed white scar and used soulblight grey but I’m getting this like weird brown. What did I do wrong lol
Derek Stiles
23.04.2023Super cool but most of us would prefer you not bounce around paint products. Most watchers don’t have the exact paints from multiple brands.

23.04.2023Thanks for this video helps a lot! Very fast and simple 👍
