As you know I’m a huge fan of the Warhammer 40k poster boys, the space marines! And in my time as a miniature painter I've painted everything from black templars to Blood angels and everything in between! But a few months ago I stumbled on the worlds most outlandish, colourful and well… quite frankly hideous Space Marine Chapter ever, the Crayon Eaters! So OF COURSE I'm going to paint one but the real question is … can I use all my years of practice painting space marines to actually make it look good?

About This Video

If you play Warhammer 40K, you’ve probably got a favourite flavour of freaky buff spaceman… and I’m sorry, but the Crayon Eaters might be the most ungodly one yet. In this video I take the infamous Space Marine 2 fan chapter—born from people abusing the game’s customisation—and I try to do the impossible: paint the world’s ugliest Space Marine chapter and somehow make it look good. Naturally, I don’t pick “any old Space Marine” either. I use the commemorative Lieutenant Titus mini, wrestle through the build (after months of Gundam, it aged me 20 years), and even magnetise the head options because I’m a massive control freak. For the scheme, I let a Twitch chat of 500 frantic Warhammer fans yell colours at me until we land on a full-on Skittles-in-a-wet-t-shirt-fight monstrosity. To keep myself sane, I paint it heavy metal style: basecoat, recess shade, then crisp edge highlights—one colour at a time. I also push focal points like Titus’s face, add Rogue Trader-style freehand details, and design a custom Crayon Eaters chapter symbol (a toothy jaw… but chomping a crayon). And somehow—annoyingly—it works. It’s hideous, but it’s also maybe the best Space Marine I’ve ever painted.
