Blood Angels Painting - Oil Washing & Custom Vanguard Veterans

I promised myself that I would finish my Blood Angels Army before I bought any more miniatures!

So in this video I am going to cover my process for Oil Washing and I will be using my Custom Primaris Vanguard Veterans as a guide.

This isn't meant as a comprehensive guide but will show you my tools, my process and give you somewhere to start. Give your minis a good coat of gloss varnish to start and feel free to experiment. The varnish makes it really easy to remove and protect your base paints!

My Primaris Vanguard Veterans using the method from @TheCockedDice – Check it out as it's a really simple conversion.

The second squad is made from spares and standard Primaris Torso bits but with Jetpacks and Storm Shields glued on. Basic but it works.

Here are some links to my main painting equipment and some other supplies that I use in this video. These are Amazon affiliate links, so I earn a few pennies with each purchase without adding any extra cost to you!
