JH - Add's that layer of Tesseract Glow. Me: "By God you've done it again!"
Lol, I had been thinking about that glaze for WEEKS!
A year down the line and I'm thinking exactly the same thing.
Before Tesseract Glow: "Meh"
After Tesseract Glow: "đź"
Thanks đ
I love how good Guilliman Flesh looks on this. I literally said "Wow that looks great" out loud when watching it.
Yeah, it's just perfect
Yeah I would have never thought to try that
Rapidly becoming my favorite Miniature Painting Channel. Well done, Juan!
Thanks!! I really appreciate that
Absolutely beautiful, for sure my favourite painting channel
đđđđđ
Brilliant as always Juan, I was looking forward to you tackling the Necrons!
Glad you liked it!
Amazing effort friend, thank you for sharing!
Thank you for watching!!
I love it. Just makes me want to start painting everytime I watch one of your vids
Then I'm doing it right
Really learn alot from your guides, your approach to using contrast with regular highlights has changed the way I paint, glad to see necrons getting a turn
Thanks! I'm glad my videos helped you
Huge inspiration for my own necrons! Thanks for sharing dude!
Thank you for watching!
Amazing tutorial as always Juan. I look forward to trying it out on my Indomitus box. Muchos gracias por los videos, me encantan.
Gracias!
Man it is an absolute privilage watching you work. Thanks for sharing your amazing gift in order to help out other people in this hobby.
You sir ROCK!
đđșđžđ
Thanks mate đ
I already know I'm gonna love it.
Thanks
Great tutorial! Thanks for showing us that mistakes do happen to even the best painters!
They happen all the time! The key is just recovering from them
Excellent guide! I needed this! ^^
Glad I could help you! Thanks for watching đ
This was amazing, the tesseract glow step, pure genius!
Thanks!!
Excited for this one!
YEAH! be sure you don't watch it in public just in case
I'm so impressed by the effect of the tesseract glow. You really made all the green POP immediately! Awesome work!
Thanks! I'm quite proud of that recipe
As exceptional as usual Juan. I've seen a few new Necron tutorials and yours is the best so far sir. Simple, effective and the final results have the punch I like to see on a miniature. Your approach captures the sinister Necron vibe but at the same time is vibrant and fun to capture. As a fellow TMM fan I love your approach to painting TMM and many of my own projects have been inspired by your tutorials. I know my Indomitus Necrons will be inspired by this video, so THANK YOU JUAN. You sir are a legend.
Thanks mate đ, you know I love you .
That green energy is amazing! Iâll definitely steal that for my Indomitus box
Yeah, I'm quite or of it
Fantastic paint job. Great fine brush control, I am definately going to try this out on my indomitus crons. Thanks.
Thank you for watching
I really enjoyed this video, thanks so much đ
Thank you for watching
That glow effect is downright amazing!
Thanks!! I'm very proud of it
This looks more like the boxart than the official how to paint videos!!! Nice work
Thanks! I think so too
FantĂĄstica mini necrona Juan! Por fin veo a alguien que usa bien la nueva tinta! Enhorabuena!!đ€đ»đ€đ»đ€đ»đ€đ»
Gracias!
Eres un maquina Juan, lo explicas super bien!!!! Vaya pedazo profesional!!
Gracias guapetĂłn đ
First I thought, omg why tesseract glow on an already perfect miniature - but then you made it even more perfect - wtf i watch many hi quality tutorials, but this is over the top! THANKS!
Thanks! I'm very glad you liked it
That makes no sense but I still 100% agree with you
Thanks mate đ
Well done!
Thanks
This video prompted me to FINALLY start snipping the sprues in my Indomitus box. I've been painting most of my minis in the grimdark style, and I want to push myself to this standard. Thank you for the inspiration!!
Thank you for watching đ
Thank you , Juan .
Thank you for watching mate
The glow effects are excellent!
Thanks
So relaxing...
Thanks

Great video thanks for the info!
Happy to help
steady watching these as i paint. enjoying the edits when you make a mistake... i chuckle
VIEWS FOR THE VIEWS GOD!
I like the gradient on the armor panels & that tesseract glow really made the glowing bit pop.
Thanks
Wow, good paintjob!
Thanks
Amazing technique.
Gracias guapo đ
Me ha gustado mucho, gran trabajo đ
Gracias a ti!
Nice finally Necrons :D really awesome work ^^
YEAH
Excellent Juan, as all your videos. I started painting F*****G blue with your tutorial and know i'm going to start painting necrons. Great job!!!!!!
Thanks!! Get those Robot Bois looking all shinny!
Thank you so much, Juan! Don't know how I missed this one. But, this is the best Necron paint technique I have seen.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it đ
You have done it again! The best necron videotutorial! I wonder if eavy metal has this dedication and love for their job.
Thanks mate đ
Entrar en CZcams y ver este vĂdeo a los 2 minutos de haberlo subido, perfecto para el break de media mañana. Ver que te equivocas y que arreglas los fallos me encanta. Muchos omiten esas partes y te hacen sentir torpe o que no mejoras. Se agradece mucho la naturalidad. Muy guapa la mini, al final tendrĂ© que pillar alguna contrast aunque me den mucho coraje jeje
Gracias! Siempre intento que todo sea lo mĂĄs real posible
Having recently gotten into painting WH40k minis, the necrons were some of the first ones that looked so badass and fun to paint, little did I know they seem to be some of the most challenging in terms of getting contrast and interest painted on them. Thanks for the vid!
Happy to help
Good thing there is plenty of necron side indomitus pack available. Thanks as always
Yeah it seems everyone wants the Marines
Very cool, muy bien đ
Gracias
It must be Friday!!! The kettle is brewing!! Itâs time for a Juan tutorial!
Oh yeah!!!
Nice easy to follow guide. I didn't have as many paints so painted silver, used contrast paints like black templar and snakebite leather and managed greens OK. Came out pretty good. Guessing medium is some kind of clear coat varnish. I used to use clear varnish with a darker ink shade to give shadows and it is really effective.
Medium is basically paint without pigment but yeah Varnish works well too
Iâd just like to say a massive thank you for these guides. Whilst I cannot justify starting armies for every guide they have really highlighted how contrast paints can be used to achieve the best effect possible. I am learning a lot and like to think my own painting is improving as a result. I honestly think GW should be crediting you or commissioning you to produce guides for their ranges. Do you plan on exploring other miniature ranges? Or larger busts/scales? I recently received my Kickstarter for Gatefall and the âminisâ are considerably bigger than anything I have painted before and I am a little daunted/unsure how to begin working on them
Thanks! I really appreciate your kind words.
As for other ranges, I just plan to paint Age of Sigmar and 40000 for now.
Iâm buying some necrons. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you for watching!!
no sĂ© cĂłmo me habĂa podido saltar este vĂdeo xD me encanta! el resultado mola mucho :D
Gracias guapo đ
I can tell you were really excited about this by how many mistakes you made.
But seriously thanks for another fun video. I definitely appreciate the glazing instructions for the blade portion.
Happy to help! And yes, I was very excited about this one. I've been thinking about this recipes for months
Holy hell this looks great !!! ... Thank you so much man !
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures I've been looking for a good necron painting guide and yours honestly beats all the others I found so far. I'm gonna take a look at your channel to see if you made a guide for other necron figurines because this one rocks !
I have one for the blades as painted by the Eavy Metal Studio, apart from that this video can be used to paint all other Necron minis without much trouble
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Yeah, makes sense. I'm sure I can apply the same theme to other figurines without much trouble like you said. Plus one should try to improvise here and there at some point ;-)
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Man, you're so precise with the highlights, I'm gonna have to go through a few "meh" models before I get there lol
Absolutely top tier! Would love to see your paint scheme on a Skorpekh Destroyers. The blades would be the toughest but I think applying your technique would work!
Alternatively you can use my more advanced Necron Blade tutorial. That will work on any size blade
haha so much work for such tiny infantry!!! the temptation to try it tho!!!
DO IT!!
"Hello fellow haters of the blue" has somewhat becomming of a "welcome home"
That's because this is you home
I need to paint some blue soon, pray for me
F
What about red?
Red is one of my favourite colours, it's up there with Yellow and Teal
Sweet
Thank you for another great video. I personally do not believe those were mistakes at the beginning. They were simply needed to forge a new path. You are creating a new way of doing something there are no mistakes, just improvements.
Thanks!
đ¶It's Friday, Friday
Gotta get down on Friday
Everybody's lookin' forward to Juan's vid', Juan's vid'
Friday, Friday
Gettin' down on Friday
Everybody's lookin' forward to Juan's vid'.đ¶
Lol
Gracias por el vĂdeo!!! Soy super nuv en esto de pintar WH y la cuchilla del arma me estaba llevando por la calle de la amargura, voy a intentar pintarla asĂ â€ïž
Gracias! Espero que te ayude! Si tienes alguna duda no dudes en preguntarme.
I tried before this video came out to do the same paint job and made the same basecoat mistake, i actually used the new runelord brass as i thought all the new colours went together which was WAAY too dark. You are right you definitely need a light silver base. Good video looked awesome in the end
Thanks! Yeah, for this method the brightest silver you use the better
you sir are a painting wizard! fantastic vid, I have also used guilliman flesh on a bright silver instead of the brass and armour wash that gw was peddling, dont get me wrong, I like those paints, they just didnt perform how i wanted.
They don't, this is closer to the original scheme for sure.
I'm in love with Canoptek though, fantastic Highlight for a lot of metals
These are great, easy to understand tutorial videos. Thanks for making them!
Are you planning on doing any videos on non-caucasian skin tones? There are very few high level tutorials for them around. I think a lot of people would appreciate it!
Thanks
I have to give it a thought, I'm not good with skintones
Necrons usually paint a lot faster but they can still look great like what you did here. Just because they tend to be simpler and easier color schemes does not mean they cannot be painted with finesse and skill. The depth of shading and highlighting and then the signature glow just makes them look striking.
I totally agree, they can be a stunning army
This is like watching Bob Ross. For most of the way through I'm thinking " Looks good". Then Juan goes and does something and I think "Ha! He's screwed that right up". Then comes the finishing touch and I'm all "Crap, he pulled that right back, a god amongst men"
Thanks mate đ
"... we just want to pickup the basic shapes of the OOPS..."
Lol, yeah. That happened
I just want to say, You've probably saved my army from looking like an oily mess. I SUCK at using the Cryptek Armourshade Gloss, and it often pools and dries before I realize it and it looks terrible when I do it.
So I tried the Guilliman Flesh method, but instead I did it over Runelord Brass and damn did it actually look really good. Then I just glazed Runelord Brass over it then highlighted with Canoptek Alloy and It actually looks like I knew what I was doing.
Awesome! Glad I could help you
I'm a serial try hard who has a hard time spending less then 10 hours on a model. I have an army project that's taken me literally about 12 years from now in is about 3000 points. I'm forcing myself to speed paint the necrons from Indomitus to have an away team for teaching folks how to play. This video is threatening to push me off the wagon.
Well, this was faster than 10 hours so.... đ
đđđ
Thanks đ
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures absolutely outstanding work!
this is a great video and super helpfull, its a shame there is non video for flayed ones. I would be super curious to see how you paint them.
Like this plus you can use the recipe I used for the skin cape on my Chaos Warrior
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Thanks a lot for taking your time to respond, you are the best :)
I KNOW!!!
Es un trabajo de lo mĂĄs fino y preciso. Demuestras una gran maestrĂa con las contrast y el pulso que tienes Juan. Todo un ejemplo a seguir para aprender y a utilizarlas adecuadamente...una lĂĄstima no entender inglĂ©s para entender lo que dices jajajaja
Gracias! Lo que digo es bĂĄsicamente de relleno đ pero si tienes dudas pregunta, y si estĂĄs en un ordenador puedes activar los subtĂtulos generados automĂĄticamente en cualquier idioma
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Un placer Juan. Jaja imagino que gastas bromas por las imĂĄgenes pero la prĂłxima activarĂ© subtĂtulos jaja. Lo veo en el mĂłvil pero reconozco que soy torpe con esto del CZcams jaja. Pero en serio, eres un referente. Lo haces genial y desde que te sigo desde el confinamiento, espero con impaciencia tus vĂdeos de pintura. Gracias a ti he aprendido a pintar dorado y gris MNM, asi que mi mĂĄs sentido respeto y admiraciĂłn ;-)
Gracias de verdad! Pronto sacarĂ© un vĂdeo de NMM rojo, a ver quĂ© te parece
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures pues genial, como no podrĂa ser de otro modo jajaja.
Un placer haber charlado un rato. Sigue asĂ crack. Hasta el pronto. đ
Nos vemos guapetĂłn đ
Makes me want to breakout my Necrons. Thanks a lot Juan.......as if my ADHD wasnât bad enough. Iâll never get through these models.đ«đ«đ«
It happens to all of us
Amazing work! I truly love watching your videos and trying to incorporate your techniques in my own models!
Any plans on painting a Tyranid model? I'm currently building that army and would love to see how you would do some "eavy contrated space bugs!
Yes, I already have the models bought. I don't know when I will be able to tackle them but they are coming
JuanHidalgo Miniatures wow, thatâs awesome! I look forward to watching! Thanks for the reply!
Always happy to help!
Brilliant video! Love it :D
Will you be doing more necrons in different schemes, by any chance? :)
Maybe, I have a couple of videos before I get to that
The lighting/exposure in the video is pretty high and kinda throws off how this recipe actually looks when you try it.* Once I hit that Fyreslayer flesh step, I was sold. Its pretty easy to control, or if you have to, block out one panel and fix pretty quick. The most important part... it's also consistent, especially important with an army like Necrons.
I haven't tried what selectively applied varnishes might look on the armor plates yet, but I am gonna.
*Perhaps Juan could do an updated video with his newer studio setup. đ
great job as always! could you do Tsarakura dynasty necrons next?
Maybe at some point in the future.
Amazing as always ! Not a fan of Necron but damn this look so good ! Are we gonna see bigger models in the future ? Like Abbadon or Great Unclean One ?
Thanks!
I really dislike painting large models so no, I doubt it.
Great tutorial ! I was looking for a tutorial to have the same "Copper" color result on those spooky bois, and also I've seen that you precised their dynasty, are you gonna do more Necron ? :D
Yes, I will do more dynasties in the future
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Yes ! Can't wait to see that ;)
Hey, Juan, do you happen to be able to suggest a NMM recipe to match the szarekhan dynasty copper tones? From what I could tell cryptek alloy is close to rakarth flesh, but I have no good idea how to go about the body copper-like metal here. Seen your copper tutorial and, while beautiful, I feel it doesnât quite match. Thanks and have a lovely evening!
Hey Juan
What if I wanted to do this but have the gauss red instead? what paints should i use instead?
Love your videos!
Mmmm
Red glow is complicated, probably the hardest one to do. I would start from pure black and make the brightest tone a pure red, but it has to be a really intense and pure red pigment to work, something like Kimera The Red or a Heavy Body Acrylic Cadmium Red (that is toxic so be careful with it though)
Sorry I can't help you with that more
Thank you for this video. I've been looking for the right colors for this dynasty for so long. âLikeâ is yours ;)
Glad you liked it đ
As always, an extremely helpfull video! Only downside is CZcams decided to stuff more than 10 commercial breaks into it...
No way!!! I will immediately check that out!
Thanks for letting me know
I just removed all the mid-roll adds that CZcams had added without me knowing!
That is from ALL my videos!! Thank you for letting me know, I hate those.
Hi!
Incredible work! Definitely using your tutorial for my shiny necrons.
As it's the first time i try glazing, is it mandatory to use the contrast medium? Would water do the same? What about the vallejo glaze medium (cheaper option)?
Thanks!
I highly recommend you use Contrast Medium for the mixes. Water completely mess up the chemistry of Contrast Paints and can lead to severe coffee staining.
As for Vallejo Glaze Medium, I personally don't like it so I don't know. You can test it and see, I personally prefer to not mix chemistries and use each paint with each own proprietary medium.
This is such an amazing guide but what is the medium he is referring to or using during the gulliman flesh plus medium step?
Contrast Medium
Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial! Really stunning result, Iâm going to try it on my own necrons, adapting the colors to the Vallejo range apart from a few very specific paints (Canoptek, Guilliman Flesh, Tesseract). Quick question, the Wraithbone paint is shown at the beginning of the tutorial but doesnât seem to be used at any step, is it used at all in that paint scheme?
No, that's a mistake on my part, I re-use the colour screens from one video to the next and I surely forgot to delete the Wraithbone . It's definitely not used
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Thank you for your answer!
Amazing job! Congratulations! How would you paint turquoise pannels instead of the cooper ones?
If you want them metallic check the Alpha Legion video, if you don't check the Thousand Sons one.
Hope that helps!
Fantastic video! I just have one question, why don't you use the new armour shade made for the necrons?
Because it doesn't look like the boxart when you do
Uff, I've now painted 5 Necrons according to these instructions, first of all, these are my best painted Necrons so far ... But my eyes, such hardcore concentration is really not good for my eyes ... Respect that you can do it so easily ...
Try using magnification glasses, your eyes will certainly be better
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures In the grooves of the gun and on the barrel I carefully let a little Tamyia Black Panelliner run into it, now it looks even more extreme because the knobs are now really sticking out and the glowing effect on the edges is stronger.
But I still need a lot of practice, I can't get it that clean with the highlighting yet, but the necrons I've painted so far look really good. Thanks for the many tips here :)
Nice, happy to help
Incredible! You really encouraged me to finally continue working on my necrons! I love your scheme / recipe and how you make these colors pop! Left you a thumb and subscribed, too.
Can't wait to give it a try myself, however I gotta wait for contrasts being available at my retailer again...
Please do me a favor and clear one thing up: did you really just used leadbelcher as a primer? A forum suggests to spray a thin grey plus a top and front white shot, followed by a brighter metallic. And, as you stated, Leadbelcher isn't a very bright color, although I used to apply abb black as a basecoat so far...
Long story short; can you tell us what you think about grey plus white and what metallic primer color you'd recommend? Rly want to make these guys pop as much as possible :) Keep up the great work!
As I say in the video, I I where to start again, I would do them in Mechanicus Standard Grey and Basecoat the metallics by hand after doing all the black skeleton with a bright metallic, I like Ironbreaker myself, buy something like Vallejo Metal Color Silver or Duraluminium can also work very well.
I personally don't like zenithal priming, I prefer to create that contrast myself so I can put it where I want.
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Zenithal priming, that was the term! True expert here, appreciate the fast answer very much and'll do so, as it also comes in cheaper this way (in terms of avoiding additional colors)! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
More than happy to help. Thanks for watching đ
I saw a Reddit post where the user had talked with an actual 'Eavy Metal painter who did some of the Necrons and this is basically the paint process they used (and is wildly inefficient for actually painting an army):
(Brass parts)
-Base Runelord Brass,
-Shade with Cryptek Armourshade Gloss all over,
-Reikland Fleshshade and Drucii 1:1 mix in cracks,
-Lighter parts repainted with Runelord Brass
-(when needed) further highlight with Canoptek Alloy and Stormhost Silver
(Silver Parts)
-Base Canoptek Alloy
-Glaze Runelord Brass
-Shade dark areas with Reikland
-Shade Cracks with Reikland+Wyldwood 1:1 mix
-Optional Glaze with Stormhost if too dark
(Black Metal Joints)
-Base Iron Warrior+Abaddon Black 1:1 mix
-'Eavy Shade of Nuln Oil
-Thick Highlight Iron Warrior+Administratum Grey 2:1 mix
-Spot Highlight white scar
(Normal Metal)
-Base Iron Warrior
-Shade Agrax+Abaddon 2:1 mix
-Highlight Iron Warrior+Stormhost 1:1 mix
-Highlight just Stormhost
(Sharp blades)
-Base Iron Warrior+Stormhost 1:1
-Shade Agrax
-Highlight Iron Warrior+Stormhost 1:1
-Highlight Stormhost
(Green Orbs)
-Base Corax
-Layer Moot Green+Flashgits Yellow+White Scar 1:1:1 mix
-Glaze moot
-Deep Recess shade Caliban Green
(Black on the guns)
-Base Corvus black
-Shade Nuln Oil
-Highlight Incubi darkness
-Highlight Eshin grey
-Highlight Fenrisian+Eshin 1:1
-Spot Fenrisian
(Cables)
-Base Moot+Waaagh! Flesh 1:1
-Shade Caliban
-Highlight Moot
-Highlight Moot+Flashgits+White Scar 1:1:1
-Spot White Scar
(Dark Metal)
-Base Iron Warriors
-Shade Bascillicanum grey
-Optional spots of Iron Warrior and stormhost.
(Gold if you're doing the Royal Warden)
-Base Retributor Armour
-Shade Reikland
-Highlight Liberator Gold
-Highlight Stormhost+Liberator 1:1
-Spot highlight Stormhost
Thanks for the insight, that is priceless information.
Yeah the Eavy Metal recipes are always ridiculously inefficient for army painting but of course that's not why they are developed in the first place.
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures I think the most surprising thing to me is that they've actually painted the Box models with all citadel paints (as it was theorized the team would use a ton of non citadel paints)
I think I'm definitely just going to use your method because it looks fantastic and will probably take a fraction of the time (while still looking just as good, imo)
That's just false assumptions, the Eavy Metal exclusively uses Citadel Paints as it would only be logical as one of the objectives is to actually sell the paints as well as the models. All those rumors are just started by paint snobbists that like to think Citadel is so bad not even the official GW painting team likes to use them when it's very much the opposite, Citadel Paints are outstanding.
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures My thoughts exactly, It wouldn't make sense for the in-house GW team to not use GW paints, especially since it's been proven by many others (and you in this very video!) That it can be done using only GW paints. (And with multiple methods to achieve the same result).
One I've seen people say is that they actually use Vallejo chrome for Silver/Gold highlights, even though Stormhost achieves the same effect (or the fact that the team mixes paints and shades to achieve colors/effects that aren't individually sold) Myself being somewhat new to the hobby, I initially believed it to be true, but after reading the post I shared here, I just figured that the team is *actually* just really really good with Citadel paints.
Oh sometimes the DO mix colours, it's very common, in fact some of the new paints like Orruk Flesh are developed to COPY the mixes that the Eavy Metal team develop for their paintjobs (mix of Averland Sunset and Skarshnik Green in this case)
But yeah mixing is just part of normal painting so it's a given but not using in house paints it's idiotic.
Nice tutorial! I'm trying it by myself currently and while I'm painting, I have 2 questions: 1. Do you use your best Kolinsky brushes when you paint metalics? 2. Do you do something with your brushes, that the tip is stiff? It is looking like you have a pencil instead of a brush. When i get in contact with my mini, the tip is bending all the time. I'm using Raphael 8404.
Yes I use the same brushes for everything. I don't do anything to my brushes the tips will always bend when contact with the mini it's hair, that's normal, mine might appear not to bend because I have a very light touch, it's all about brush control.
Chief just called. This channel is still it, its fantastic. As a side note for 'haters of the blue' will you ever be tackling Thousand Sons? I understand that you may wish to do things other than contrast marines and thats cool,just thought I would ask đ
Yes, the original plan was to do the 18 original legions and that plan is still standing
siempre triunfando como la coca cola papi
Pero Zero para que no engorde, que hay que mantener la llama encendida
eres sabio papi
Thank you for this amazing video. Canât wait to try it out. I have a question: I know you hate blue but are we ever going to see a thousand sons video from you? :)
Yes, all the original legions will get a video. Thousand Sons included
Really enjoying your videos having binge-watched a bunch this week. With the citadel sprays sold out pretty much everywhere at the mo, my priming options are army painter matt black or citadel grey seer. Would one work better? thanks
I would do Grey Seer and apply the correct Basecoats over that
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures fab, thanks for the reply! Especially as it's late.
Happy to help đ
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures finished one warrior and enjoyed both the techniques and your style and clarity of instruction so thank you. I did have a doh moment - having primed in grey seer, joints in Mechanicus, I then managed to copy you and armour plate first in leadbelcher. Doh!
Im happy my videos were helpful, keep on painting
Hi Juan! I'm working on my necrons and love that glaze at the end. What do you think could be a good substitute for the Tesseract Glow? Maybe an Yriel Yellow glaze? Or does the paint have some special properties that make it more glowy? I'm thinking whether it's worth it to get just to make my glowy bits pop more.
Tesseract Glow is a slightly fluorescent paint, it's not like anything else in the line because it has Fluorescent pigments (although not as much as proper fluorescent paint)
You can get Vallejo Flou Green paint, that will work like a charm or any other hobby green fluorescent paint.
If you don't want to get more paint, use Moot Green as a glaze, is quite close to Tesseract Glow.
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Thanks a lot for the suggestions!
Happy to help, thanks for watching
I tried this out on a couple warriors and have been testing several methods and the closest to your video I found is flesh with a little bit of water. Did you do the same or straight from the pot?
Hello Juan! Very inspiring work. I am wondering if you thin the Ironbreaker anything before putting it on the model. It looks so smooth and covers very well. I've not had that experience with citadel metallics before
Of course, you should ALWAYS thin your paints before applying them as a rule of thumb
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Thank you. How much do you usually thin the metal paints?
As much as I need to. If you are looking for a ratio, that doesn't exist sorry, you need to learn that by feel, each paint is different
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Thank you, Wise oneđ
Do you thin contrast paints like normal paint? Or only when you use the medium to thin them?
Only when I clearly say I used medium
Hey there Juan,
I finally gave my old Necrons a try today as I'm sort of practicing for my pre-ordered Indomitus Necrons.
Would you please tell me what light source / lamp you're using? I can't see my own brush strokes or distinguish the metallics on this insane detail level and my lamp is just crap.
Glad for your answer,
have a nice evening đđ
I uso two IKEA lamps with decent bulbs. My bulbs are 17,5 Watt 2500 lumen 6500K bulbs
Hope that helps!
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Yes, your input helped a lot as usual :) I still consider getting some magnifying glasses as I still can't see these incredibly fine lines perfectly though. Your paintjob and brush control really are amazing
Thanks, I really encourage you to get some
