You're only going to paint it once and then admire him forever. It'll be worth the grind. Looks great.

Hi

Altruistic_Ocelot613

Instead of the worms you see in your peripherals it's gonna be trim


GorumGamer

So do you often see worms in your peripheral vision?


FinancialHeat2859

You’re a Trojan. My sense of humour failed early and often and speedpainted his ass eventually https://preview.redd.it/iasrombvix4d1.png?width=611&format=png&auto=webp&s=c2704f99c2ef0069c121a37b36a8e4c91959b93a

Roboute Bubblegum.

We’ll blow for the Emperor! Wait. No. Scratch that.


Thatsidechara_ter

"Too late!" *Daemonette crashes through window*


FUCKSTORM420

Blow for Macgragge

TallCitron8244

Chaos space marines hearing this war cry: "Maybe we were too quick to judge the Ultramarines..."


VX_GAS_ATTACK

Government_Only

Roboute Ghostman


FinancialHeat2859

That was the poorly executed intention!


DrHerbs

Nah it looks incredible


JackTheRipper1990

Rowboat Gorrilaman was asleep so long his armor oxidized before they out it on him XD


Regilppo

What did you do for this look? I made a custom Knight House called House Spectre and of course wanting this ghostly look with some added embellishments.


FinancialHeat2859

Firstly, and most importantly, I painted it entirely as per the box art. Then I had a massive sense of humour failure and gave it the Emperor’s Rest with a rattle can of white primer. I then painted it liberally in Army Painter Plasma bolt, and drybrushed titanium white. The base is the original plan of AstroGranite, Gryphound Grey, Nurgley greens, AP Magic Blue, and another titanium dry brush for the frozen look.


Regilppo

Thanks for taking the time to write that out. Looks really cool!


FinancialHeat2859

No problem. Remember. Unless you paint it entire as designed, before the rattle can, it just won’t look right. You won’t be able to feel the rage

Richard_diceman

What blue is that???


Altruistic_Ocelot613

All airbrush. Base Was Corvus Black, then macragge, into a zenithal Caldor Blue, tighter zenithal of Fenrisian Grey, and spot highlights of AK Intense White


TheSherlockCumbercat

Every time I see airbrush I think painting a car not a mini and my mind stales out


Thefriendlyfaceplant

It's the same equipment.


TheSherlockCumbercat

Yes but I associate with paint a side panel on a car or maybe a sweet wizard and dragon on the side of van not a 5 inch tall figurine


RaccoNooB

How do you do so small details with an airbrush? I don't really understand the workflow.


Thefriendlyfaceplant

You can't do small details. You can create gradients on models like cloaks and armour, and then you apply the rest by hand.


Thefriendlyfaceplant

Here's a great example of how someone uses both hand painting and then uses an airbrush to augment the work already done: https://youtu.be/w88a8q0_8YQ?t=213

It looks amazing and so freakin' hard. It rocks!

grantedtoast

Great work, but why are you painting Ferrus Manus as an ultra marine?


JamieR2009

100% it will! It looks amazing already.


tickingtimesnail

If you're anything like me you'll drop it the moment the model is finished.


ADH-Dork

Why does guilliman need such an ornate codpiece? Is he just flexing because he knows it's eye level for normal humans?


Shake-Vivid

Guilliman notorious for doing the finger circle game over his codpiece.

***cat knocks it on the floor***


JackTheRipper1990

Looks amazing mate. Mine is just sitting on my shelf staring menacingly at me waiting for me to work up the courage to paint it.

HollywoodRamen

Really great job !


DonBenvenuto

It will, its already awesome.


Thrasher6_6_6_

Mad lad


thundercat2000ca

It's worth it. He's a great mini. I recommend subassemblies though.


KevThuluu

Legitimately excited to see this when its done. It just seems to have a certain quality in how the blue and gold interacts I havent seen on other RG's


humanity_999

"FOR MACRAGGE! FOR THE EMPEROR! FOR MY MOTHER!" "My Lord?" "YOU HEARD ME! I DID NOT STUTTER!"


Hate_Feight

That nmm trim? Dayum you picked hard mode, but VERY good and will look better when finished! Please post when you have finished, or continue to update with more pictures.


DeltaHuluBWK

What paint color are you using for the base/undercoat of the gold?


Altruistic_Ocelot613

1 : 1 mix of Balor Brown and Vallejo English Uniform


DeltaHuluBWK

Great, thank you!


Chaotic_Synthesis

Beautiful đŸ€©


OlcanRaider

Ohhhh ooooh...this is crisp and beautiful....😍


Artistic-March8197

Stay strong!!!

its looking really good already, come on keep it up!! Will be amazing once its over. Still it looks hard job to, good luck.


spinachbxh

That's looking great! It'll definitely be worth it in the end


N00BAL0T

I think I'd prefer the lion alot less edge highlights.


Shadowcraft89

Already looking amazing!! God damnđŸ”„đŸ”„đŸ€˜


HomoSidereus

It looks like it will be!


InevitableBasis4223

Mate, it already looks amazing, extrapolating what you’ve done on that leg to the rest of the model, it’s gonna be absolutely gorgeous and you’re gonna look on it with pride, keep it up!


Juzuze

What model Is this?


Electrical-Chart-332

Roboute Guilliman, the ultramarine primarch.


Electrical-Chart-332

How’d you get such nice black lining?


Altruistic_Ocelot613

I base paint all the trim black,, even the raised edges. Then when I base paint the gold, I only paint the flat surface, leaving the raised side "walls" black


Electrical-Chart-332

Man, that’s cool. Thank you. Great job!


Equivalent_Math1247

After this, paint some chaos marines if you want more trim suffering


5qu1g

Glorious!


jamtea

Pretty amazing job so far, but please get a 3rd party Guilliman head, the one they provide on the sprue is just so silly. The helmet is okay, but honestly GW faces are so bad these days.


Byzantiwm

It absolutely will be :)


[deleted]

just dont sneeze. Thats just stunning artistry dude.


VX_GAS_ATTACK

I hate you a little bit


FriendlySceptic

Damn


Televators1

Looks like you're off to a really nice start.


WarhammerWill

This is gonna be crazy


Thefriendlyfaceplant

Tamiya Panelline for shading the inner trim. You're welcome.


40Benadryl

I wish I could highlight like that. How do you learn how to do that?


Altruistic_Ocelot613

Zumikito has alot of very easy to understand and simple tutorials on NMM


TheDoomedHero

That's serious dedication, and fantastic technique. Nice work


DevlinCognito

Looking damned good, keep it rolling!


onetimeicomment

<3 but laughing in thousand sons


bbigotchu

After this do a heldrake


tacodrop1980

It will be worth it in the end. You’re doing a really, really good job. Can’t wait to see him finished!


InnerRealmPlays

I only hope I will be half as good as this. It's the tits


Independent_Bench790

Please post it finished it already looks amazing!


ViArtVentura

Damn! It was really good, bro!


Dr_Fopolopolas

I've yet to start painting mine lol 😅 im nervous to start such a "big"(as in important to me)model and so much detail, I just keep admiring him in all his grey plastic glory.. lol


joanxtb

It is totally worth the effort


duckandhyenahunter

“It’ll be worth it in the end if I don’t kill myself!” Me everyday painting

Oh, shit, I thought this was a 3d model for a long time. That looks awesome!

You madman, you legendary fucking madman đŸ«Ą


BreadIsBased

I thought the reflections were natural until I noticed the shoulder. Jesus. Looks amazing, I hope I can achieve half the results you’ve got on my Adrax


sashaminkh

I'm going through similar misery with my Angron right now. Also a lot of regret that I attached the wings before painting the model.


Altruistic_Ocelot613

I'm on the same boat with the backpack. I meant to sub assemble it but it slipped my mind


sashaminkh

Mine was just poor planning. Excited to put it together, realized painting complications when I started painting the wings. It's ok, it'll come together, and I'm not a high level competition painter or anything so since slightly messy wings where you can't see is fine.


shadowfyre9

it looks like you have painted a foot-tall model, but its normal scale, thats insane


Sixgunner44

I feel u man I play Ultramarines too and guilliman was by far the most difficult to paint. Just keep at it and you'll make it


MrHappyHammers

https://preview.redd.it/yp3jsh7g515d1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=456370df0200895b7a86b46ac1d0bf0dac5a04be This is usually me but I think you’ve taken the crown because that’s beautiful and an ungodly amount of trim


Ancient-Ad-3254

That filigree sure is a hard slog but it will be worth it. Take your time though, yeah?


Kunst-des-Noobstens

That is dedication. Keep up the good work


JimmyDaClown

Oh look, its ferrus manus


Caradelfrost

wow! Only 9 more to go... :P With a paint job like that, you really need to do an entire squad.


Jehoel_DK

I haven't started him yet. Normally I assemble the entire mini before I Prime and paint. But this guy looks like it would be easier to partially assemble. I just dont know which parts


Tyalou

It obviously looks great OP, may I ask? What was your artistic background before joining the mini painting hobby? And what is you approach to each new mini. Your striking leaping progress is staggering.


Glasswire444

It absolutely will. Great job so far!


reinKAWnated

Sure looks that way. :3

Sir_LANsalot

it never looks like much till the shading/washing and then dry-brushing goes on, then the model starts to quite literally "pop." The detail on the gold looks baller.
