How to paint Space Marines Blood Angels: Video 6 post ink

[TheChaosleigon]

i believe that all molding paints are not toxic so you most likely wont die from paint

but u could end up dieing by my chaos space marines

[Night0wl44]

Hey Jawa, im just starting warhammer 40k, and wondering what are 3 essential brushes that a newbie like me should get?

[MrHarrysworld]

one of the best vids ive ever seen, by the way, the paint is toxic. it may be too late now for you, sorry!!!!!!!!!!!

[toxicbiscuitj28]

@MrHarrysworld its not toxic

[MrDreamblade]

hey jawaballs, it was fun hanging with you and fritz at games day. anyway, i realised you still havent done a how to paint red power armour video yet, so are they ever gonna be up?

[illlite]

what did you ink them with? I can't find the video before this and after the one were you used the drybrush to coat it. good video though

[jawaballs]

@illlite the complete set is available from my store, there is a link above the video

[GuttedWrenStudios]

Hells yeah, Radiohead. Great music to paint by. Very "artistic" music.

[haloister123]

hey dude you still making videos now so probably not

[robtom011]

hay jawa i whent to gw and thay had 0painted blood angels with black primer and i tride it and it showed black areas still

[tmbGr1msbyProduction]

Hey Jawaballs, I'm painting dark angels with black Armour and red cloaks but what should I prime them with. thx loads btw I love your vids!

[jawaballs]

@tmbGr1msbyProduction Get some Black Primer from The Army Painter. It gives a great finish that is ready for highlighting, no further painting needed!

[MrDreamblade]

@tmbGr1msbyProduction black, then base the robes mechrite red.

[GEOdozer420]

i have a question... im doing a dark angels and blood angels army, im still not sure what you mean by inking. basically use the dirty paint water and go over it hitting all the crevices? i didnt find your video on the arms and jump packs. just the heads inking. thanks for the help too! great work

[jawaballs]

@GEOdozer420 The entier set is available on my estore, the link is at the top of my youtube profile. Inking is no longer the term, it is now Washing, and the update for that is in the online video download set. But you got the basic of it. Using a liquid dark color to fill in the recesses and make it look shadowed. Now the proper material is called Baal Red.

[ttspiritblade]

"and the paint is non-toxic"..." I hope"!! haha lol

[ventrillo1]

hey we got the same name, lol off topic :P

[MrLashdog9]

can u use a spray brush for the base coat

[OLIJOE2]

what do you do with the arrow on the shoulder do you just pait over it

[freedom195x]

hey I have a question I am just being and want to know how to use ink paint properly. You mainly use it in areas you cant get to and to make better detail right.

[darknessrage28]

im stilll confussed aboutif i should go for dark angels or blood angles

iv got info from friends who play dark angels i dont know any who play blood angles could you or anybody else give me sum advie on the blood angles

by da way great video

[chrisst150]

if ive base coated my models chaos black what would you suggest to get a bright red finish ( they were going to be ultramarines but i've decided to make a blood angel army!) thanks

[MrShinybutt]

i think it a flesh wash imk they dont do it anymore

[armorcraft2]

what ink did u use

[Shadovv117]

could u tell me what ink u used? if chestnut i dont think i can get it anymore right?

[IPreferEvidence]

which ink are you using?

[MaxonQ]

what are the wash/imp u use?

[MaxonQ]

are u putting your bruch on your lips when u have paint on it?

[RXS15]

would it be okay to paint em orange-ish?

[BleachKid264890]

I asked this question to a GW staff, and they replied saying, you could even have "Blue" Blood angels. So im pretty sure you can make them orange - ish :D

[Diloco95]

Paranoid Android!!!! woohooo Radiohead!!!

good tutorials btw, I´ve enjoyed them a lot.

[qpoulton]

[ikkiiiieee]

[gearsofmuffin]

[sodamaxmann]

you must be a beauty jawa xD blood red lips eh? xD

nice stuff btw you actually brought me back to painting :)

greez from germany

[thewally2008]

no-toxic i hope lololol

[daveintheclouds]

i still dont understand has he went over the armour of the model again with blood red and basically missed all crevices or has he just covered the larger areas?

[fally15]

general question here, my bro has primed his blood angels black but now wants to prime em white, if he sprays white over the black is it gonna make the paint on the model too thick (i seen models destoryed by double basing)

[jawaballs]

I think you answered your own question... it's a crapshoot...  good luck!

[capnpac]

just use alchohol and a toothbrush and remove the primer

[fally15]

ohhhhhhhh ok i'll try it. thx

[devastator06]

the paint is non toxic.............i hope. lol

[Capnpac40k]

whut ink

[pts2800]

i think he used Baal Red, but he might of used badab black for the ink

[vaultdude101]

maybe it was brown ink

[capnpac]

yhats whut it is

[ultramarine1234]

yeah it was baal red u wood hav noticed the badab black more but that is wot i personally wood hav used

[Capnpac40k]

jawaballs

[chrisperson94]

If you were to glue the arms on to the model, wouldnt the paint make the bond not as strong?

[sxrt15]

radiohead rules

[JVLRHappy]

and i think it's paranoid android

[JVLRHappy]

is that radiohead in the background?

[vader2145]

what did u do in the recesses??

[BonjoviScott]

what does he mean when he says ink btw

[jawaballs]

The term Ink and Wash are the same. Using a mostly fluid pigment to 'wash' over the recessed areas and fill them in with darkness creating the illusion of shadow.

[Shadovv117]

what kind of ink did u use after painting it blood red?

[Shadovv117]

may i ask what wash u have used? if baal red it doesnt give it that deep red yours have?

[12tayres]

@BonjoviScott games workshop sells the washes as inks. black ink, chestnut ink etc.

[Lucaex69]

These videos aren't complete...

[jawaballs]

The complete sets are available on my estore, jawaballsproductionsDOTcom

[theflyingpinoy]

hehehe don't worry jawaballs I do that with my brush and accidentaly drank (or ate) blood red and I'm fine :-) *starts to choke in background* I'm kidding :)

[sonofwaranddeath]

hey do you thin down your paint? It looks liek straight out of the pot.

[jawaballs]

I paint straight from the pot. Tsk tsk me I know... :)

[sonofwaranddeath]

haha well it works for you!

[heartrate0]

don't you taste the paint hahaha

it tastes so bad

[jawaballs]

It does taste bad. I suggest heavily that you rinse your brush in fresh water before putting it into your mouth.

[heartrate0]

i heavily follow that

[Born360Gamer]

next time dont have your hand covering while you paint....bekose i cant see when you paint:(

[plague903]

sorry m8 but did paint the the tactical marines with blazing orange or blazing orange and fiery orange?

[Chap444]

what was the wash that you used. badad black?

[phirdude101]

chris is the 21 century Vincent vangough

wicked painting though.

[shootoutactor]

chris i think you are alergic to paint, you sound better in the earlier vids

[jawaballs]

You may have a point there.  I need to see an allergist.

[lvdmonstarr]

what was the outcome?

[kickman200]

WHAT COLER INK??

[jawaballs]

baal red or ogryn flesh

[Altier215]

baal never seems to show up. should i glob alot on, or, as i do now, and add a bit of it to every where

[JohnLeaf64]

I just finished using it like an ink with my fine detail brush and compared it to painting the whole model in it, and let me tell you that just putting a lot in just the crevices looks much better and makes it look highlighted. Also where did the inking video go?

[thexyn]

sacroficsing ur chanceses of toxic paint for little tatical squads wow my hero

[cod4jrsarge]

what wash did you use also with ink did you use?

[KillerSniper446]

what wash did you use?

[svonk92]

baal red wash, its one of the new citadel paints.

[arvin4445]

damn you lol i tried to bye that brush and x-acto blade set but they don't sent it to Australia

[jawaballs]

Ahhh that sucks. If you purchase over 50 dollars worth of bases from my site, I will pick up the brush and blades and mail them with the bases for you.

[arvin4445]

would that be 50 dollars American or Australian?

[thefuzzIRL]

you should have more subscribers cos ur vids rock

[cptmachine]

We all eat paint, it tastes so gooooood...

Thanks for the advice, I've just gotten back into paiting to switching blue for red I'll be using this techqiue to start an ultramarine army.

[azmagicboy]

i miss ink

[SaintofWar84]

dude good videos but great music lol same taste man

[CaptainRexFan]

wow ... 0-0

[cjpendleton1993]

How much s the set?

[mackleydu]

11 dollars or 8 pounds

[WindowsShutdown]

Are the videos you are selling on your website the same as the ones posted on youtube?

[jawaballs]

The ones on youtube are from the sets yes. I think I have 6 or 7 of the 18 Blood Angels ones on youtube.

[strongfp]

Dude ... keep a cup of water beside you dip it in there every so often and then just twirl the end with your fingers. Paint isn't good to have in your gums (I think someone said that before) it causes build up.

[connor556]

Dude saftey tip, paint is not a good thing to be putting in your mouth even if it is none toxic, if you keep putting it in your mouth as much as i see you doing it could cause some damage to your gums.

[Staribuck]

Where is video 7 and the rest? Also what wash would you use for Imperal fist?

[jawaballs]

The entire set of these videos is available for purchase from my blog. As well as many other chapters including Fist.

[Bl4ckst4in]

Just intresting, what colors you use for HLs? Since I saw at the begin of series started you used fiery orange as one, but now GW quited to make it so what you use now?

[jawaballs]

Just mix firey orange, blazing orange with yellow.,..

[starmaker116]

wait are you doing all the time that lip thing??

[JohnLeaf64]

will this all still work if i primed my models with chaos black? I primed them before i saw your videos on youtube.

[jawaballs]

you will need to paint them mechrite red

[mackleydu]

Mechrite, then highlight blood, then highligfht over that with a small ammount of Blazing Orange

[TheGreat213]

@ 1:01 the I hope part made me laugh

[13attleScared666]

could you make a video on high lighting them.

[jawaballs]

This is part of a whole set of videos that are available on my blog. The link is in my youtube profile. GO check it out!

[thedr00]

struggling to see the details in this video as your hands are in the way: In the purchased video's do you use different angles? For example, i cant tell if youre inking the entire model or just the crevices and i cant tell what youre tidying up as i cant see the mistakes, theyre not in shot?

[jawaballs]

This issue was addressed in many other comments. It took me a few videos to get the right camera angle, and learn to keep the shot in frame. The first few in the BA set had a bad angle, but the last 15 or so are good to go. There are 22 in the set. Also, this video is no longer part of the set since Flesh Wash has been discontinued. I replaced this video with one on Baal Red. (to demonstrate the new wash, and replace the crappy production) Hope that helps,.

[thedr00]

OK thank you, I've ordered the video's anyway, cant wait to get started!

[Oyufurodai]

Uh... you do realize that all paint is toxic if you put it in your mouth lol, you can get cancer from doing that. Just dip it in you water instead of your mouth.

[jawaballs]

Probably, but this is straight from the GW website. "Citadel Colour paints are non-toxic, water-based acrylic paints specially formulated to cover Citadel miniatures. These properties mean that you don't need any harsh cleaners or thinners for your paints -- water is all you'll need." However, their washes and metalics do not say that. True though, I should wash my brush before I put it in my mouth. :)

[Oyufurodai]

That madness!!! lol, so if you put non-toxic paint in your eye it wont burn?

[jawaballs]

OH it does burn. I think they even reference putting paint in your mouth some place in that it won't harm you... but they dont suggest putting the FOundation paints in your mouth because the high pigment count makes them taste terrible... and they are right! Ok kids, Oyufurodai and I officaly suggest you do NOT put paint in your mouth. Put it in your eye instead.

[Oyufurodai]

nice... my Flamers and their breath of chaos rule will rape your blood angels and your best friends crappy lil Saim-hann I will screw you all Ne He Ha Ha Ha... okay I'll stop now lol

[superxtracrispy]

u can just dry brush over the ink and it wont hit the crevises it acually works.

[Barrazarama]

radiohead.. bowie in your inking video

your a master

[outrageousmayo]

oh, sorry to double post, but where is the next part?

[jawaballs]

Being self admittedly cheap you probably wont like this but the only way to get the entire set of videos, and there are 22 in the blood angels set, is to purchase them. I sell them on ebay and from my blog.

[outrageousmayo]

i'm curious. as i'm an extreme cheap-ass, when i start painting warhammer, i will just buy the assault on black reach paint set, so won't have any inks, and probably wont bother buying any. can the same inking effect work using something else, like just highlighting?

[jawaballs]

You can ommit the inking and just highlight.

[Deathofblades]

for the / in paint brushes it means ot

[jacksprat117]

PLEASE DO A VID CLIP ON RAVON GAURDS!!!!

PLEASE, if you did you would be my best friend,

just jokeing, but please i would love it!

[superxtracrispy]

i saw a guy who done that too his brush before, what i do it is dip my brush in water and use my fingers to compress the brisels of the brush.

[DeCheeseGames]

lol me too

[petergollum]

hey i doo that with my brushes too

[sagax3410]

The paint isn't toxic. My mate and I are still alive as well.

[jawaballs]

Phew!

[HTMLxrulezxd00d]

radiohead = awsum

[GRIMTHENINJA]

hey jawaballs you have a nice family:) XD

[bigshotgunxxx]

Paranoid Android

[jawaballs]

Love Radiohead.

[braveheartofglasgow]

haha"request" doesn't seem the right word....

[jawaballs]

Lol, I have only been painting myself for a year and have only tried 3 chapters, Ultras, Black Templars and Blood Angels. I plan on trying Crimson Fists, Dark Angels, and Imperial Fists. Any one else have any requests?

[PNxACL]

space wolves please im going to play wolves but theyre changing the codex so im gonna not convert my ultras yet

[jawaballs]

Wolves are on my list. I plan on having a marine done for, Ultras, Crimson Fist, Imperial Fist, Dark Angels and Wolves by the time the new codex comes out.

[apostatewolf]

I'd also like to see a Space wolf but preferably in the pre-heresy colour scheme (darker colours- similar to the 13th cursed company of the space wolves chapter), might seem a little obscure but i have an entire Chapter to repaint, (1000 marines) so any help greatfully received.

[jawaballs]

Woah!  Well I will check them out. Dont know any thing about them. :)

[ndeppftw]

i cant wait for the crimson fist one :)

[lloydzy]

Salamanders and Hawk Lords :)my two favorites. oh and maybe Storm Lords

[braveheartofglasgow]

are you going to do every chapter! That would be amazing!

Hurry up with the next video! I need my fix!

[braveheartofglasgow]

Was U2 towards the end ....

[braveheartofglasgow]

Meh...I lost all my paints... And most of my models...

They disappeared... Hope they are toxic as I'm sure the dog got them...!?!

I have only got around £25 ($50) to spend so I'll probably only have enough for a tact squad and like 5 paints <_<

Paints are way more expensive in the UK at the current exchange rate... at £2 = $4 as opposed to your $3 = £1.50 paints....

That might not seem alot but it means an extra pot every 4 paints... very handy when having to collect paints from scratch..

[braveheartofglasgow]

hope they AREN"T toxic****

[TheGreat213]

our metallic paints are about $3.50 in US

[braveheartofglasgow]

See that's interesting cos' we don't pay extra for metallics....

Still.....it's still cheaper than our paints as that's about £1.75....

[TheGreat213]

yeah but i dont get why our mettalics are more expensve

[braveheartofglasgow]

Maybe the metallic component used is made in europe and it costs more in the us as it needs to be imported?

(cheaper importation to the uk?)

[braveheartofglasgow]

Can do a cheap inking with watered down chaos with a drop varnish to break surface tension?

[jawaballs]

Well, I do use watered down Chaos Black sometimes. But I like the look of the Flesh Wash better. As far as surface tension, this is a beginner video and I don't think we need to be concerned with that just yet! From what I heard, the new Wash set is phenominal, and I will be trying them as soon as they arrive.

[jawaballs]

Oh, and just an explanation on surface tension, as I understand it. Surface Tension refers to how evenly the paint flows. A wash with a tough surface tension will more likely pool up on the flat surfaces of the model, rather then flowing into the cracks evenly like a broken wash.  This refers to paint too, breaking surface tension on a paint will help it more evenly cover a surface. To break ST, you use Varnish, Thinner or even just water. However, again, I don't feel that is necessary here.

[jawaballs]

Please, any readers feel free to expand or correct my opinion on Surface Tension. Just remember that the point of the videos are to help beginners and intermediate painters quickly put together a high quality table top model. Thanks for the input Braveheartofglasgow. Keep it coming, a lot of people are reading this and learning and improving!

[braveheartofglasgow]

I think ultramarines are hardest to paint to a decent standard!

It's difficult to know when to highlight them...

That's why I recommend starting with another chapter or even a simpler race like Tau...

[jawaballs]

Tau?!? Tau use the same concept as painting marines, only their armor plates are half the size, soooo, harder to paint. You are right that their color scheme is easier, especialy when you use the Tausept foundation paint, but I suggest all beginner painters start with marines. You can avoid tricky flesh and can practice your skills with nice big armor plates and broad areas to cover..(Opposed to Eldar, Tau, etc.) And yes, Ultramarines are more difficult to paint then Blood Angels. IMO.

[jawaballs]

No prob man, great questions! When you highlight, you add a slight accent on the edge of the armor, to make it more pronounced. So, you would use your base color, in this case red, and highlight the very edge with a lighter version of it, (red mixed with yellow to make orange). This light edge will stand out more when you look at the model. To keep it simple, ink EVERY recess of the model. In some of the bigger recesses, more ink, less ink in the little tiny cracks. Ink is artifical shadow

[saphiraftw]

I still don't get what highlighting is, after you've painted the sm red and inked it, do you "highlight" a coat of red over the last one or do you only do the highlighting in certain places?

Also with inking do you put it in areas on the model where there would be shadows in real life and only in those places?

Thanks, keep up the good work! :)

[MistaOssu]

you should add still pic's or zooms on the model at the end of every vid beaouse its kinda hard to see were you added paint =)or touch ups

looking forward to him finiched

[TehPyroFang]

Well.. if you die from 'toxicnesses' than i will also coz i do the same thing xD

Good vid.. they startin 2 look like my spacemarines ^___^
