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.
I agree, such a simple and good looking effect! I'm always looking for more gold options, so I've got to try the Nazdreg next! 😊
Man you gave me the perfect solution I was looking for, thanks a bunch.
Glad to hear the techniques are working for you, I love using glazes like this! 😁
So this is how my Chaos Terminators are gonna look? Awesome! I've picked Luxion Purple. Soooo looking forward to seeing how these guys look. 😂
That's awesome, there are so many great colours that work with these metallics! 😀
I can't wait to try it for my black templars!
Sweet as! I'm sure they'll look awesome! 😀
THIS IS AMAZING! What a great idea!
Thankyou! Glad you enjoyed the video! 😊
That red glaze gives quite a nice almost copper feel to it.
The red is very interesting, I'll have to try it over some of my tmm gold 😀
@@TheHobbyGrotto Would be very interesting indeed over some gold. I guess I’ll have to be doing some experimenting of my own this weekend!
Really cool! I do a similar thing with my Chaos Space Marines to create metallic power armour 👍
Nice one! It's definitely a handy technique, I need to get more colours for further experiments! 😁
Lovely, I appreciate the mix ratios as well. Love the black and fleshtearer
Thankyou, the ratios are going to vary depending on how heavy you want the glaze, its just always good to have some medium in there 😁
Very interesting. Going to try this tonight. Thanks!
Thankyou, glad to help! 😄
Love this. I recently tried this on red armour which worked well but not well enough. You’ve give me ideas thank you
Thanks for stopping by, glad the video gave you some ideas 😊
Wow! I found this really interesting!!😀👍💯
Thankyou, glad to hear! Really enjoy your drawing videos! 😀
love the videos, keep them coming!
Cheers, will do! 😁
I'm gonna use this method for some battle forces coming up.
It's quick and painless! 😁
Great tutorial!
Cheers mate! 😊🤘
Nice tips and good results mate!
Cheers Nayfee, simple but effective! 😁
Just found this channel, I was also planning to use magos purple on silver to paint some slaanesh minis but I couldn't find any examples online, this is excellent!
Thanks for stopping by, Magos Purple was made for Slaanesh armour, so good! 😃
Nice work. I've done this a bit with my Speed Paints, but really only for gold. I can see now I need to experiment more.
Thankyou! There are definitely more contrast paints I'd like to try, but I might need to give speed paints a run too, I was eyeing the box last time I was at the lgs 😂
will try the green tint on my skeleton horde mob
Sweet! I'll look forward to seeing them 😃
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).
Great tips, all these glazes work so well over metallics, I've got to try some 40k weapons I had some ideas for heat effects 😊
@@TheHobbyGrotto speed paints blend quite well as well and I did a graduated exhaust (white base, blended to zealot yellow, blended to blood red, blended to gravelord grey) for my Inceptors. 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.
Very cool, it seems they would be perfect for this kind of stuff, glazes have so many applications! I really should try the speed paints I reckon.
Looks like I've got another set of styles to try! Great video as always - looking forward to trying them!
Thankyou, I've got more to try myself! 😁
@@TheHobbyGrotto As an added kicker, I have the exact model you showed at the start - from my old pewter Brettonian days as a child. I regret stripping her, but - now that I have - I find myself needing to paint her. You've inadvertently given me some ideas for that too!
That sorceress mini is one of my all time favourites still to this day! It's just a wonderful simple design that says everything it needs to say, I really need to make a video focused on it at some stage 😃
@@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.
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'm going to totally try this yellow on some ironjawz to get their metal armour!
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 Iyanden Yellow is the one I have so I'll use that one, I'm hoping to combine your rust video with this one to get some rusty (in places) but well used metal armour, any recommendations for to best achieve this effect?
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.
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 😄
@@TheHobbyGrotto thanks a bunch, oh i have the big SpeedPaint set and a ton of contrast here, just didn't pick up any shades recently (besides nuln oil) will check on a regular marine for sure to figure out what's best, was just super curious to hear the thoughts of someone with more expertise and experience ☺️ (Eventhough i worked in that field, i always disliked painting, building and playing though rocks xD)
No worries, glad to help! You'll be all set with those speed paints, they have a solid range of colours! 😀
what medium do you use instead of water?
I use Lahmian Medium from GW, but most miniature paint brands will have an equivalent that will work perfectly fine! 😄
Out of curiosity, what armour pieces did yo use for the video???
The armour pieces are just spares I had from the Blight Kings of Nurgle box 😁
@@TheHobbyGrotto Cheers mate 😜
