    Using these for metals is such a "duh!" moment when you do it for the first time!
    For gold, use Nazdreg yellow. It works great.

      @@TheHobbyGrotto I can definitely get behind this idea! Weird as it may sound, the wand/stave's head always threw me off. I love the design, yet I was always left going "but how should I paint this?" The all-metal look you went for looks fantastic and sold me on it. When I repaint her, I'm going to do something similar.
      ...Might try to make the robes something pink/purple as an homage to her original scheme. Maybe white base with purple and blue glazes? Undecided.

    • @TheHobbyGrotto
      @TheHobbyGrotto  Před 2 lety +1

      I had the same thought with the stave, that model is still a wip but I just wanted to keep everything looking simple with it, so the mini itself could truly shine. I'm planning on painting the mounted sorceress with blonde hair and light blue robes to contrast with this one. For the one in the video I was going for more of a Maid Marion / forest sage look.

    I like to make my plasma weapons metallic no matter what colour I choose so when I painted one of my Redemptors in Death Company colours I used the Blood Red Speed Paint over Leadbelcher and I like it. I usually paint Gravelord grey over Leadbelcher for my standard Plasma Weapons; I also use pre-paint plasm effects in grey and white and then just go over it with Highland Blue (thinned down a little).

I did it spur of the moment and simply went lightest to darkest painting a band someway bellow and just used a wet brush to drag the colour up; I do my lighting claws like this as well and paint the area I want solid colour, clean/wet the brush and drag the colour.

      The Nazdreg Yellow contrast paint also looked interesting, but I've yet to try it. When I was picking up paints I thought the Iyanden might be a more flexible yellow overall, but the Nazdreg had a nice golden hue to it 😊

    • @TheHobbyGrotto
      @TheHobbyGrotto  Před 2 lety +1

      You could try putting a rust effect over the yellow metal, instead of basecoating it with doombull brown, paint it the yellow and then sponge on the doombull and do all the other rust steps as usual after that. I've not actually tried this but it's worth testing 🤔

    Question:
    Wouldn't a wash from GW achieve similar results in these cases?
    Super curious cause starting some grey knights soon and thinking about picking up some color washes as well.

    • @TheHobbyGrotto
      @TheHobbyGrotto  Před rokem +1

      Definitely! You could use washes, inks, all kinds of things really to create these glazes (even regular paint!), I just find contrast paints particularly good for this as they're already at a great consistency for glazing. The important thing here regardless of the product you're using is to test it first, so you can get it to the right consistency and transparency for what you want, in regards to how much medium needs to be mixed with it. Everything has different levels of pigment and intensity.
      As per the washes, GW changed all their washes to shades, and these behave in a similar way to contrast paint, so depending on the colour you want, it may be easier to just get a contrast paint or non GW ink etc. They have some nice blues in the contrast range if you're going for that kind of look with the armour. Hope this helps 😄
