The next 'Eavy Contrast Marine is done! It seems the choice of chapter was on point with this one! IMPERIAL FISTS!!
As always this is a series of video tutorials where I try to paint a Space Marine as close as possible to the 'Eavy Metal style and quality using just Contrast Paints with Highlights.
I really hope you guys like it and find it useful!
Finally, some realism and not black lines everywhere. Nice job.
"'players must agree how they are going to select their armies, and if any restrictions apply to the number and type of models they can use."
This is an actual rule in the actual rulebook. Quit whining about how you can imagine someone's army touching you in a bad place and play by the actual rules.

When people ask, "What's the point in understanding everything?" they've just disqualified themselves from using questions and should disappear in a puff of paradox. But they don't understand and just continue existing, which are also their only two strategies for life.
Thanks! Why is still people doing blacklining? I thought the 90s happened a very long time ago
Probably because that's how it used to be taught and they are trying to come close to their older models.
I Never liked the Yellow and Red of the IF, but the yellow you have going there is great. I'm also not a fan of black flexible joints, so your grey tone is a nice find.

I was also taught that, we all painted like that back then. Still most of us moved on at some point. I think the introduction of Shades made a HUGE impact on that style.
Thanks for the compliments, yellow is a colour that I love painting and I really think it shows
Nice tutorial and the model looks great. When you finished the armor and painted other parts with a basecoat for the contrast paint again, I was wondering how easy/difficult it would be to fix any mistakes for painters that aren't as skilled and neat with a brush as you. I could totally see myself hitting some of the armor when applying the corax white on the knee joints for example. Is that a total disaster or are minor paint spots on the armor fixable?

Well you've stumbled upon what is the main problem of Contrast Paints, correcting mistakes. Most of the mistakes will be on an Edge or a recess or shadow, those are easy to fix as you can use the regular yellows for the edge and Gore Grunta covers very well and will disguise any mistakes.
Hitting a main panel.... That is a problem, if it's something small, playing with Flash Gitz Yellow and Yriel Yellow will disguise it quite well, if it's something big I would just paint the panel with Corax and start again just in that panel.
