Moistbrushing... that is a rough and amazing term...
Say,.......is this the Kromlech Mecha Boss in the beginnning? If so, How do you like it? I'm waiting for my first delivery of theys, ork comissar, Otto von Reh......well the Mek-General-Nazi-Ork, and "The green Baron"
It is, @Asz! It's awesome :)
@@MidwinterMinis ha, I'm just about to start Rehborg😜 oh..... UPLOAD REIN AND RAUS YE LAZY GIT YOUS LATE YE IZ! WAAAAAGH
so in short
1. dry-brushing
2. gradients
3. *M O I S T*
M O I S T all day every day, haha
@@MidwinterMinis lol
yes, yesssss
Nice vids
Hey is it just me or brents icon reminds me of boba fett
The thumbnail is just
"Hang on dude let me turn on my reading light."
*click*
Haha, look at that beautifully soft-focus background!
I dont even play Warhammer and this is mesmerizing.
Haha, you mean... you don't play Warhammer YET ;)
@@MidwinterMinis gaze long enough into the abyss and the abyss stares back
Time to astartes
I don't play necrons and this is still really cool
@Adeptus Gloriam Hope so
"Its not going to win you any golden demons..."
I dont know, i have seen glow effects on winners that absolutely ruined the model and where not that good.
Haha that's true!
Yea, less is more for glow effects.
Same applies to blood effects as well.
@@Jackaljkljkl definitely
Stopped painting Warhammers many years ago, fell on your video, the temptation is to high, i'll turn broke again... a drama in 4 chapters.
Haha, the struggle is real. Sorry in advance ;)
@@MidwinterMinis Well at least it will be money well spent
@@dodowoelf6373 at least it's not actual heroin, right?...
Midwinter Minis i don’t know, already got high because of the prepaint bomb, but i don’t think it counts..
Research 3D printing. And look at third party models and blue stuff/oyamaru. Just sayin'.
Modern day Bob Ross videos. That background soundscape and the easing voice make for the best videos to play just before sleep XD
Haha, thank you! Maybe I'll make a special sleep video one day.
You should have started with a layer of liquid hwite
Is... is that a Bob Ross reference? I think I love you.
I really do adore this channel, y'all talk with such calm, casual voices. It gets me relaxed and ready to work on some minis.
Thank you for this tutorial, because it's been a long time since I was looking for an explanation to make light effects without airbrush because I painted my figures with a brush exclusively, so thank you again!
You're welcome Boris! Glad you found it useful :) You can get a lot done with just a brush, that's for sure.
Been wanting to do a bone and light blue Necron army for a while, and with kill team out, I thought it would be the perfect time. Loving your videos, can't wait for more.
Yeah! It's the perfect scheme for a quick Kill Team. Mine is called the "Brotherhood of Dust".
I loved this tutorial! I've wanted to try a glow effect on my minis for a while and this is perfect!
Really cool ! I have test u'r 1rst tutorial, and i like that ! I start my Necrons army because i see u'r 1rst tutorial :P.
I'm a novice painter, and now my little army have really nice appearance ! Thank u for that !
That's great Benjamin, thanks for letting me know! That's exactly why I started making these videos. Experienced painters probably won't need these tips, but I would have loved to know some of them when I started all those years ago. Good luck!
What I love about sandy/dusty Tomb Kings and these kinds of Necrons is that drybrushing actually makes the model look better, due to the rough texture actually being desirable.
So, rather than being a method that sacrifices the quality of the paint job for time and ease, drybrushing actually ends up being an all-round win.
This applies to wooden/bark things like Sylvaneth as well...
Thanks for producing such a great tutorial.. I’ll try this for sure!
Keep up the good work!
Awesome :) Thanks for watching. Good luck!
First off I gotta say that sandstone effect looks amazing! And a great, easy to follow tutorial to boot. Cheers!
Very kind of you to say, thanks! :)
I do gundam models, was recommended your video by YT and love your personality man. Great video, great effect.
Thanks George! :)
This video was exactly what I was looking for, for my newest minni. Thanks!
This looks great! A simple and easy to follow tutorial that results in an amazing effect.
Mate... your work with a brush is brutally stunning, its absolutely love your necron sandstone scheme, it almost makes me want to drop my Thousand sons right away, love the finished product, in the realistic time frame and relative "ease" with which you achieve a fantastic result. really appreciate your vids.
Thanks Vinnie! That's very kind of you to say :) Glad you're getting a bit of inspiration from my videos.
Blessings for you, from me. I have to relearn lots of painting techniques after seizures this year. Very helpful
Excellent, thank you for sharing your method! I feel like getting an airbrush is a big step in painting that I'm not sure I want to take just yet, so this looks like a pretty solid alternative.
Yo! That's true, it certainly is a big step, but it's not a necessary one. It's really just a time saver, and lets you do some easier tricks with colour and light transitions, but those are all basic techniques. Getting "good" with an airbrush takes just as long, if not longer, than getting good with a brush.
Amazing how much you have grown up as an artist since this first video
This was a very useful video, happy that I found your channel. Been thinking about how to get that affect with brushes, you made it very approachable to try. Well done, sir, I will be back for more!
Excellent! Thanks for the kind comment. Glad you enjoyed it :)
100% what I was looking for; hyped!
Such a beautiful blue color. What an amazing paint job!
Yeah, I bloody love that blue and sand combo!
Simply stunning.
Thoroughly enjoying your videos mate👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for watching them!
Finally a great tutorial when using only brushes - thank you!!!!
guy your vids deserve so many more views and you deserve way more subs. i told all my friends about you
This is absolutely the theme I'm going with for all the new Necrons in the 9th edition starter box set.
I fell in love with them the moment I saw them on one of your battle reports. Though I'm considering making a couple modifications and would like your thoughts. Primarily, doing the glow effect with Citadel's Calledor Sky, then highlighted with Teclis Blue, followed with a top-most highlight of Ulthuan Grey, and finished with the Guilliman Blue recess shading. I'm also considering PVA gluing sand and rocks to the mini before priming and sponging on some leadbelcher to give the effect of areas that the caked-on sand is starting to come off.
So how'd it turn out?
@@s7r49 Decently! It was helpful to have some decent instructions
You alone have gotten me interested in Warhammer tabletop. And your painting amazing.
Hey there. Your video is great. great technique mixed with humor and fantastic job of filming. Keep it going
Thanks pal! :)
Nice job with the guide! Definitely going to try this thing out.
Thanks! I'm glad you found it useful! :)
Fantastic work, while keeping your humility.
Soothing, well delivered voice and calm ambient sounds.
Quickly and succinctly educated on theory throughout the video. Subscribed.
Wahey! What a lovely comment. Thanks so much for watching, glad you're enjoying my stuff :)
Just done rift cannon / stasis bomb in green, using this great tutorial. Very happy thanks again
❤❤❤❤ Many thanks boss. That makes things wonderfully clear
This is going to be super helpful for my tau army.
This is so easy, amazing. Greetings from a bass player and miniature painter to another bass player and miniature painter 🤘
Hey Yuri! Thanks very much matey, glad you enjoyed this! It was my 2nd ever video! :)
This is amazingly helpful! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it, mate :)
Good tips and wicked looking final product.
Thanks Richard!
Great tutorial!
Love looking at this. It helps a lot.
Thanks Nicolas! Glad you enjoyed watching :)
I cant believe how clean this palette was back in the day!
I did like this video, can’t wait to try the technique out and I have subscribed :)
Good luck! It's always fun trying a new technique :)
Instantly subscribed lol
Great video editing! Thank you very much for sharing this stuff
Oh, thanks! I try :)
Stunning blus effects, absolutly superb!
Thanks Phil!
Super refreshing to have a tutorial video thats useful and not full of gags or book ended by Patreon shoutouts. Good work!
Thanks Karl! No Patreon here, people can donate if they want, no pressure :)
@@MidwinterMinis You should check out lester bursley miniatures painting channel. Updates are pretty slow but he does great work, his videos are very information driven. I use his sunny skin tone airbrush highlighting technique all the time. 11 parts water to 1 part sunny skin tone though a very low psi brush with very low feed. Works great on black.
Yeah! I'm well aware of Lester, he's awesome :)
Glad your back. Excellent video.
No worries! Would you be happy with me showcasing some of the things you did following my first tutorial in my next video? Awesome work :)
Midwinter Minis no problem. I’d be honoured to feature in your videos. If you need better quality images let me know.
fantastic!! the models look awesome!
Thank you! :)
You made this look so easy, always kind of intimidated but OSL with a brush but im going to try this on my warmachine army instead of doing it with my AB as usual
Thanks Josh, glad you enjoyed it! The benefit of doing it this way is you can control the contrast you create a lot more than with airbrush. The result isn't as smooth, but you can create tighter, more "popping" effects this way, especially on small things like eyes. Good luck!
Thank you so much! Now I dont have to spent a fortune on a way to paint light. You've just gained a subscriber😁👍🏻
Insane levels of detail!
Quick and easy! :)
Awesome Tutorial. I have been working on a Slann Star Master and wanted something like this
brilliant love this colour layout for Necrons......
Great job, really nice to see a brush tuitional for this effect, OSL is one of those things unfortunately that when done well looks awesome but when done poorly can ruin a paint job. Fortunately this looks awesome!
Thank you! Yes, it can be a disaster though. It helps to do a couple of practice pieces just to hone your skills before you use it on models that you want to keep :)
Great video with detailed commentary 👍🏻
Thank you Phil :)
Looks killer! I'll have to give it a shot.
Go for it Adam!
Great tutorial, thanks for the knowledge, my friend. You got a new sub
Wooo! Welcome aboard :)
The most savage of digs at citadel brushes @ 3m40s.
Haha. Can you even call them brushes, though? ;)
I don't know much about Minis but i think i can use this technique for model kit, thank you!
me: i'm gonna do this to all my marines' eyes.
also me: all your 37 unpainted models not including your two dreadnoughts?
me: uhhhhhhhhhh
Hahaha, I believe in you!
I just recently started a Militarum Tempestus box and I think I'll try a simplified version of this for a glowy-red effect on the helmets. ... I hope I won't go insane first assembling the finnicky bastards, though!
Oh.. this would be fun. Looks at 130 primed space wolves...... to do on a couple characters.
This was awesome.
Thanks for this tutorial MWM! Also, 10/10 comedy gold for the Michael Stipe reference!
At my most beautiful, I count your eyelashes...
secretly.
This is great! thanks!
No problem :)
Really likes these, was going to have this color scheme until it came to making the glowing. :( so mutch work.
The extra work of the glow effect balances out the super easy stone effect though, so it'll not any extra time than a normal speed-paint army :)
I like the music, it feels very fitting for Necrons!
Thank you! It's available now if you're interested: midwinterminis.bandcamp.com/releases
this is awesome
Great tips. Thanks for the video.
You're welcome!
Thanks a lot for this tutorial. I had a lot of trouble trying to make my power weapons for my LSMs to look like they're glowing.
Nice, good luck with them! :)
I keep hearing the second version
Looks pretty nice I would of liked to see you add the "light" to the 4 ends facing the center glowing thing also maybe working out just a bit of light on those ball joints and on the curve of those hoses would of looked really good.
i use citadels 'ARDCoat (gloss varnish) to make painted lights look like they are under glass again.. its good for gems and such also... it doesnt matter how rough it gets from dry brushing.. it leaves you with a nice shiny light/gem.. love the paint scheme of your necrons..
Great tip! Do you apply it before or after?... or BOTH? :)
i just use it after.. :)
great looking army
Thank you very much! :)
Came over from Goobertown love your channel and great tutorial!
Thank you Samnuel! Welcome to the party :)
Thank you
I don't have enough money to get one shade of blue, let alone six. Inspiring work, though.
Thanks! Yeah, there's definitely a cost in the hobby, but most paints tend to last quite a long time when you buy them (particularly those in dropper bottles), so you can get just a couple a year and your collection always expands :)
Just mix with white in to get it brighter then mate, you'll find it quite easy :)
@@asz3337 That doesn't work if you want to retain vibrancy sadly... You end up chewing through so much blue to make it work that you would just be better off spending the money on a lighter pot.
As white will always desaturate what you are mixing it with to some extent.
Could one mix up the variants you wanted from 2 colours and white if one of the blue colours was missing? At that point I'm not aiming for a 100% copy of this effect, but using the same principle idea and ending up with a slightly different colour on the light.
Thanks for making this tutorial.
Thanks for watching!
i must say i also love your music, friend
Thank you Tyler! :)
Well done on 100k views!!!
Woooaaaaah mama! *Record Breakers theme intensifies*
Very nice video !
Thank you!
It’s a pretty cool job if you don’t have access to extreme sheen or chameleon.
Being able to do this with what you had here was amazing.
I just bought a few bottles of chameleon and have a huge collection of sheen, they are great but not cheap -.-
I mean no disrespect, really great job you done!
I’ve been doing it like this for years, glad to see someone else does this.
We knows it ;)
I have never in my life played a game of Warhammer yet here I am watching these videos because they’re so damn interesting. Well played, CZcams algorithm.
Thinking about starting warhammer with an Ad Mech army, you've really given me some ideas.
Good luck on the journey mate! :) enjoy
I just got back into painting, I'm actually awaiting my first order of a 50 color warpaint set and batch of D&D minis right now. Should be here in two days. I have not painted in 34 years. I saw this effect in a few videos and was wondering how the hell they did it. I thought it would be a great spell effect.
Vallejo - Medium Blue
P3 - Arcane Blue
Citadel - Ethereum Blue
Citadel - Guilliman Blue
And a little bit of white of your choice.
Wonderful, dude, thanks!
Now, I only need to find a good combination for other colors 😬
Cheers 🍻
amazing effect
Thank you James!
Aha finally a OSL video that i can use. Very good. thanks.
Nice and easy! :)
I like the effect you have here, not too over the top. Just needed a refresher as had a long break of a few years from painting. Strangely I seem to be far better at it than I used to be, the Ultramine Primeris guys are coming out really nicely and figured on the hellblasters I would have some fun with a bit of OSL. Hopefully I don't wreck them with the attempted glow! P.S add some tweezers to your painting kit for those pesky hairs :-)
Great tutorial
Thank you!
Really helpful video
Glad you like it Jay!
always get horrid goosebumps whenever I watch him drybrush stuff, it looks so good but my body hates me for watching it
would love to see you do this with Green variants and Red-Orange variants. I REALLY wanna try making good chaos power weapons that match my red/orange plasma weapons. i can handle doing green to some effect, but i really want my chaos power weapons to look energized, not magma or fiery.
good leçon , thank you Mate.
Amazing video. Quick question, what's your substitute now for the guilliman Blue, now that it no longer exists?
Loving this effect an really want to give it a go.
Your videos are amazing and very inspiring. Keep it!!
Maestro no hay palabras simplemente perfecto
¡Gracias!
The ominous scifi-sounding ambient music was a nice touch.
Cheers mate, glad you liked the music :)
Thanks for the tutorial! I'm going to try this out on some cave mushrooms 👌
Painting cave mushrooms, or consuming cave mushrooms?
@@MidwinterMinis I am not confident in my ability to paint miniatures after having consumed cave mushrooms 👽👨🎨
I’m going to use this method for some orky tellyporta bits. Wish me luck!
Can you show your army of sandstone necrons ? Thanks
I will... once I've finished it, haha!
@@MidwinterMinis i need the motivation haha im starting a necron army !
Darude sandstone
@@gigamesh780 well played good sir
If you want to stop that orange peel effect from the dry brushing over the glowing areas you'll have to completely avoid those areas when priming by masking them off with either masking fluid or some form of putty. Then you'll want to brush on a layer of blue then very lightly sand/polish it flat. (polish if the paint is still soft) You should end up with a near perfectly smooth base, it should look like a low gloss even though its matt paint. After that paint blue with layers of wash.
The gloss effect will disappear at this stage but that is only due to microscopic bumps from the wash. continue your steps from here. You will find that the dry brushing will look as if it was airbrushed on.
I only reccomend doing this just for the challenge or for learning how to do a candy finish because it is basically the same steps ; trying to create a perfectly flat coat.
Using air cans for primer will cause orange peeling it's just a fact. but you can also sand back can primer very easily without fear of tearing the paint as is possible with layering.
i sand all my can primed minis, it really doesn't take as long as it sounds 5 passes over an area is usually fine and that takes about 1 second. sanding off a 28mm mini usually takes about 1 min.
What you will find when doing this is how easy it is to engrave you're own extra details into your minis. but that's another story.
Woah mama, those are some pro tips. What method do you use to sand the primer? Fine grain sandpaper?
Sponged back fine grain. Minimum 400 grit. The higher you go in grit the more you need to sand and the faster the sponge will loose sand. Try to avoid the sand 'paper' sponges with paper glued to the sponge as the sharp edges of miniatures can tear it and the paper tries to retain its shape. Instead look for 'sand sponges' that's with the fine sand adhered directly to the sponge.
It allows for better sanding on detail areas as the sponge will conform to the shape of the miniature and remove the orange peel evenly.
@@danielchalmers9815 Nice! Thanks for the great advice Daniel. I'll look into it.
