This is a slightly different video. We concentrate on workflow for a larger project. Instead of concentrating on display level pieces, I take you through a methodology to produce amazing looking armies that won't take half a decade to complete. 

Enjoy! And with Xmas around the corner, if you could share this patreon on social media, give recommendations or invite friends that would help out a great deal.

This video is about ultramarine workflow

Damn, those are probably the best looking ultras I’ve ever seen. Love the art style.

Hey Myles, I want to paint my Black Templar following your method from the Sons of Horus Spartan from March 22, 2018. What adjustments should I make if I want to batch paint the marines like in this video?

Also, what would you recommend when doing shoulder pads that are a different color than the armor (in this case I would do white shoulder pads, black body). I was considering using masking fluid like you did with your World Eater Terminator, but wasn't sure if that was practical on 30+ marines.

This is probably one of the best videos you have done. How to do a Legion quickly and efficiently. Bish, bash, bosh...done! I’ve been using your stippling edge highlighting technique for a while now and will never go back to smooth lines. Would be great if you could do something similar for mechanicum. Particularly Thallax which I’m struggling to approach. Is it best to basecoat the skeleton then do the armour panels by hand? Or airbrush the panels then paint in the skeleton by hand. Something like that.

I don't collect imperial, but I do have a squad of Eldar Dire Avengers that this will be perfect for. You mentioned in the video there will be a PDF with all the colors listed, when will that be available? Want to make sure I get the right blues

My concern in leaving the shoulder pads off is getting the highlight and shadow wrong since arms will be in different poses.

What I would do in this case is to blu tack the shoulder pads when your painting the light and shape. Then remove and paint separately.

This video is amazing. I run into so much speckling from my airbrush, with white, blue...really anything...I've concluded that it can't be from the paint thickness since I've used different concentrations and even thinned out ink/wash does this. I'm running 20 psi and my airbrush is clean...

Still need to sort the speckling.

Ok, so I jacked up the PSI, made sure my paints were thinned enough (took your advice and thinned even airbrush ready paints) and made huge progress in the last week. This is a great way to pain up armies. I don't know about other painters, but I seem to always have models 2/3 or 3/4 of the way done, before I get something else started. I've grabbed 3 inceptors, two intercessors and a captain, and I've begun this method. Just finished the final passes of blue ink, no speckling and I'm going to move to metallics, etc. tomorrow. So pumped at this progress.

Couple of questions for you: first regarding the “glaze layer of turquoise.” Do you thin it down and simply run it through the airbrush? Normally when you thin down a glaze for brush work, you can control the amount in your brush with a paper towel. I’m going to assume we skip this step here? Second question: with respect to the oils, specifically over the gold. We wait 12 hours and then remove the majority? All? I’m not super familiar with oils...I had a look at the space wolves video but I feel like that focuses a bit more on pin washing...

1) Yes. It resembles dirty water for consistency. You can reinforce the airbrush layers with further brush work. 2) Yes. The stain needs a longer time to adhere to the surface. It should stain the underlying layer and leave a darker shadow. There’s no substitute for practice - observe the technique then dive in. 3) There is a section on staining in the metallics section. It’s the same technique. Hope this helps clarify the process. You know the theory of the technique, now go practice on a couple of test pieces!
