[thewiseman15]

did you add water to the second coat as well?

[godblessolbas]

Your music choice is great, shame about the painting.

Joking of course. Your painting is incredible as well :)

[iluvAUSandScooters]

Why don't people give them a black under coats anymore?

[rdelacruz700]

good music choices lol

[legoguy275]

I use the same color scheme and I didn't watched this vid when i started!!!

[future10marine]

would i use the same process but differant colors for a differant scheme?

[legoguy275]

@future10marine yes of course i use the same process but with different colors ;)

[angelsoffurtitude]

so without the speed up how lon did this take ?

[legoguy275]

@angelsoffurtitude a loooong time

[Screaminglarry]

uh black primer sucks and white does alot better

[MrCaseusTerra]

If all you want is a darker Green, just paint it with a Basecoat of Catachan Green, then Highlight with Camo Green. It's the simple guide from the old Codex :D

[MrYourmomsboyfriend]

Did you not use primer?(!)

[TheHarcipoter]

hmmm i dont like your armour color.

[chetdaye]

When your highlighting the armour .. what kind of brush are you using. .. it appears too look like its made of sponge ,, wat is it excatly

[19Marvin96]

dude, that guy needs a base coat b4 hes ready 4 painting

[ThaHeliGuy]

what do u do when u have painted a guard and after a while he is sticky?

[ThaHeliGuy]

i painted by guard fully green (differant green to the one u used) and it looks very good.

anyway nice vid , nice guard.

[chetdaye]

Your.. sir king of the paint gods.. what kinda brush are you using when you highlight the shoulder pads withs with snot green.. it almost looks like the brush is a peice of sponge É

[Nu11nV01D]

You pick some good music for these videos. Nice.

[chetdaye]

What kind of paint brush is that?? where would I pick one up at.. that would make detailed spot alot easierr

[WARHAMMERtelevision]

nice but why didnt you choose to prime in black and then layer up from there? I am just woundering that's all :)

[minisofwar]

sry, good painting but i think white primer is not good for the imps... i paint it with black primer. The green sucks...

[DirectHitPainting]

@minisofwar that's fine, im just showing you my way of painting them.

[RiotHouseLP]

@minisofwar I use the Xenith prime technique for guardsmen, works perfectly.

[freakyspac]

im new to IG, can anyone help me pick a good colorscheme? and should i glue the vox casters to the vox guys back before or after i paint them? im debating on it but i wanted a professionals opinion

[DirectHitPainting]

There are many different schemes to pick from but my advice would be to base it off of a Real life example, video game or colors you like. for example, swat or police, desert storm, arctic, woodland, or some crazy scheme that u may find in some sort of war video game. :D

[freakyspac]

i hadnt thought of that, thanks, secondly, when i was putting together a Guardsman with a flamer it doesnt look like it came out right, the flamer came out farther away then i could get his hand to go, i dont know if i messed up or it wasnt supposed to fit together like that, what do you think?

[DirectHitPainting]

if the arms don't connect like on the box, one of the arms is probably positioned inccorectly, that ok though, an easy fix :D

[ChaosFlash1000]

@DirectHitPainting man a lot of people dont like your way of painting them put i think its incredeble (i dont speak english very well becaus im not )(im french but i understand perfecly) thankssss

[Dexelator]

dont worry, same thing happened to me, just rip it off and keep trying, if it still happens you could try using green stuff?

[freakyspac]

super glue doesnt come off so easily lol, where would i get green stuff locally? i havent seen any of it at the two shops here in Modesto

[Dexelator]

erm, its not acctually green when you buy it, its blue/yellow. But if you cant find that you could try ordering it from the web.

[freakyspac]

well that would explain why i cant find it, you figure theyd just keep it green lol

[kickthetv643]

@freakyspac just cut off the left hand and grab one of the open handed left arms use for holding las rifle, chop the hand off at the wrist and rotate it so the hands upside down, glue it back to the wrist and then use that arm to grasp the top of the flamer. its what i do when some of my arms dont fit flamers.

[Number1GamerAsh]

great start!

[DirectHitPainting]

Thanks!

[falknerblitz]

Great work. The tutorial came out great. For the next one I think a bit more lighting would help as this vid seemed just a tad dark

[DirectHitPainting]

yep! I'm working on that lighting!

[FlipFingers2]

Awesome! I've been looking all over for a good IG guide.

[DirectHitPainting]

! :D

[fistmarine]

very professional :D

[DirectHitPainting]

Thanks

[Malivictus]

you never did the skin or the Gun so is this just part 1 ? also Lenny Kravis is ok ( for the late 90's) try adding some narrating to your video,but all in all not bad video went out of Frame a few times to..but not bashing just giving you feed back that's all mate happy new year to you and best of luck with the rest.

[DirectHitPainting]

Thanks for the feedback, I'm open to all Constructive Crits. I have decided that every tutorial,I am going to pick a different artist. There will also be a part 2 and three. I couldn't fit it all into one video. Happy new year to you too! :D

[Malivictus]

thank you I am glad you understand that I was not chewing you out or anything its just that the video said that its the full video and yet well the hands,face,base was not finished,However I know that its hard to make a good video but you did a good job my friend ( subscribed )

[DirectHitPainting]

Thanks man :D

[pmoon72]

If i may, if you can try to get some more/better light some things were a bit dark.

Thanks and keep up the Great work

[DirectHitPainting]
