Hey guys... what did you think? Do you want us to cover other 'glowy/SFX weapons' - e.g. Ice Blades, or do you have other suggestions?

[@liammonkman9982]

Amazing, thanks for the great video, I'll need to try this on some Legion of the Damned

[@EadeMatt]

Definitely would love to see your Frost Blade after watching this! 🐺

[@Dreamzkape]

Awesome video, mate. It looked very cool when you'd finished. Definitely go for a frost blade, although what about other elements? I remember a video game I loved called "Drakan: The Ancients' Gates" where there were 4 Elemental Blades: earth, fire, ice, lightning. Collecting all four let you forge a powerful sword to bring down the big boss. Cannot remember what the EARTH Sword had regarding powers, but it was green in representation. You could try browns and reds... :/ Would be an interesting concept to try. Earth Blade, Earth Blade! (and a Frost Blade) :D

[@knoepert666]

I wish i could paint waiting for my brushes from #artisopus #badservice #badcompany

[@benkraft8334]

Hey great video man just tried it for the first time thanks to you and it looks amazing

[@xXOAXxTempest]

well Found how the Captains power swords getting painted! Your tutorials are basically going to paint my whole army LOL. Thanks

[@ArtisOpus]

Our pleasure, my dude! Happy hobbying 🤘

[@KnightYellow]

Uh oh... I submitted a mini for the next Mini Painter reacts video with a molten sword effect a few days ago. *nervous sweating*

[@ArtisOpus]

Interesting! We'll have to see, sure it'll be good, dude :)

[@MrGenerichead]

I think I want to try this with a different color palette

[@misterraven5159]

You thinking trying in say purple tones ? I am

[@ArtisOpus]

It will absolutely work with different colours. So far the 'rule' seems to be that any deep saturated colour works best😊

[@johnmarkes2038]

Thank you! I used this for my salamander captain and its awesome!

[@garyknight3018]

Great video!! Will definitely giving this a go on my salamander blade guard, also awesome shoutout for another great artist, keep being awesome.

[@ArtisOpus]

Thanks so much, dude! I feel pretty strongly about crediting sources of inspiration, be they big or small😊

[@JackJester21]

Watching this go from layer to layer was beautiful

[@thatgenericdixienormouspicguy]

I use the scale75fx Fluor yellow for the glazes and it makes it pop out even more.

Very impressive, I really like it. Keep these coming !!

[@ArtisOpus]

Thanks, will do!😊🔥

[@stephendemeulemeester8568]

I really enjoy your videos, you explain things very well. I would love to see you painting a frost blade.

Cheers dude! Great idea, we just need a Space Wolves release or something with a nice chunky one! :D

[@katherineweston3393]

This is pretty awesome. I’m going to try and apply this to my Fyreslayers runes cause I’ve been trying to find a way to make “lava glowing” runes so I really am excited to test this out

[@ArtisOpus]

Amazing, it's perfect for it, enjoy! :)

I guess that's that then😉

really impressed with the pigments on those Monument Hobbies paints. Need to get myself some of the Yellow to Red colours for my Fyreslayers project for their hair

[@ArtisOpus]

They're absolute dynamite, a real pleasure to use. They're strong which takes a bit of getting used too but they're generally great and really fun to use😊

Woes I need to try this amazing painting another great tutorial thanks

[@ArtisOpus]

Late reply! Thanks man, you're welcome :)

[@13Robzilla]

Awesome work sir.

[@ArtisOpus]

Many many thanks😊

[@CrovanBlaze]

This is very similar to how I do mine, inspired by Vince. I've tried loads of brands and even a couple acrylic inks, but ProAcryl Orange simply cannot be beat for this!

[@ArtisOpus]

Amazing! I don't hear bad things about their paints so I will definitely pick it up🤩🔥

[@folixmute]

lovely effect, gonna give it a try on one of the minis I have in the pipeline

[@ArtisOpus]

Amazing, enjoy! 🔥

[@simonleach6632]

That looks properly awesome, certainly never going to miss it on the table top anyway! Never tried pro acryl paint myself, I usually stick to Vallejo, lifecolor and ak or hataka, but I might just have to give them a go at some point

[@ArtisOpus]

Thanks, man! They're definitely worth checking out!👌🤩

[@nathanrodgers86]

Nice do, brother! I received my artis opus brush cleaners today - really nice product!

[@ArtisOpus]

Awesome! Thank you!😊

[@Alf_Hairy-arse]

Frost blades would definitely be cool!

Once I figure out how to do this it will definitely become a future video😊

That was freaking awesome.

Glad you like it🔥🔥

Very cool!

Thanks🔥

[@marcjones5862]

Looks really good mate!!

[@ArtisOpus]

Cheers!🔥😊

[@pawlshepherd]

Axes get nowhere near enough love, and give you a much bigger surface to get nervous over! =D

[@ArtisOpus]

😅😅I think they'd be considerably easier for this type of thing. There really isn't much space for tiny swords to squeeze a transition in.

[@pawlshepherd]

@@ArtisOpus there's also less space on swords to make mistakes, which can actually be forgiving for us shaky-handed folks! 😅 I'm also now wondering how well this would work on Necron blades, as I've yet to finalise the scheme for my Indomicrons...

[@Dante.astartes]

so cool

[@subversive1219]

This looks like something I may be able to do! I'll give it a try next weekend. Any suggestions for doing one with a bright green fire type effect, also?

[@egiljo72]

Looking great and tnx for the tutorial Byron, This fits perfectly to my paint schedule, since I'll start to paint 3 fireslayers tomorrow while I wait for my next Blood Bowl team to arrive. Guess what I'll try to learn on those fireslayer axes 😎

[@ArtisOpus]

😉😁Perfect! I love it when a plan comes together. How did it go?

[@egiljo72]

@@ArtisOpus I tried, but it's wasn't any award winning result yet. The base paint was a very light yellow almost luminescent. Didn't give good coverage and I made to many inconsistent layers and ultimately making a total mess of it. Covered it up with a "silver" receipt and blood for the blood God and made kind of a miniature save in the end 😉 But I won't give up, and will try again, this time a icy blue lightning axe. Have this based, but got distracted by a new Blood Bowl team in the mail 😂

[@darrenj3720]

Interesting stuff. Leaves plenty of room for colour changes to make things colder.

[@ArtisOpus]

Yeah, absolutely! Definitely some other stuff that's completely different that could be achieved with the same technique, or small alterations.

[@shrimperlincs3395]

That's inspirational. I'm going to try that myself, except I only have Contrast Paints and Dry Paints. So it's an additional challenge.

[@ArtisOpus]

That definitely does sound like a challenge. Let us know how it goes😊

[@Himle_]

Amazing work as always! Don't have any weapon were to try this out (nor probably the skill^^), but more knowledge is always great to have. And yes, more weapon effects are always great! Plague maybe? (Don't know why, but haven't gotten any notification for 2 out of the last 5-6 videos :'( ) Never done a yt video, but maybe 24h notice could be the standard? edit: Love your videos, but have you thought anything about putting it in print? Not everything ofc, but like the video above. Videos are great, but having a painting guide/book is imho even better. Also, it's much easier to have a book beside you, then a computer when painting. Especially when you can go back to the video and see it live, so to say^^

[@tommyd2235]

I love the look just don’t care for it on a powersword. This really makes me want to get an FW Avatar of Kane.

[@ArtisOpus]

Now that would be a perfect recipient🤩The method is universal so it should work wherever😊

[@jedibob7660]

This is really gonna help, I got the 10 pack of bloodletters the other day and they all have lava/fire swords

[@Vicky1138thx]

Would love to see a frost blade 👍👍👍 Thought the lava blade was so realistic ... did you burn your fingers 🤣🤣🤣

[@S3b5Tube]

and a lightning blade too!

[@ArtisOpus]

😅😅not yet, maybe I will get a frost bite from the next one😉

[@MentoliptusBanko]

The effect is super cool! But I liked it more before doing the lines in the middle. The black dots make it even more lava-like.

[@ArtisOpus]

I can definitely see the argument for not doing it, it's why I mentioned it in the video, would love to see some people experimenting!

[@davidstone3698]

I held my breath too!

[@ArtisOpus]

😅😅

[@bizgigj820]

Great video as always, glowing weapons are always fun. Wasn't there talk of a heat bloom video at some point?

[@ArtisOpus]

Thanks so much, dude! It has been requested a few times recently. I used to have it specific sequence of colours that I went through with Scale 75 Inks, but I've completely forgotten it😅😅

[@stefanholgersson4282]

Great as always! How is the lockdown army coming along? We are aching for it!

[@ArtisOpus]

Keep your eyes peeled on Sunday😉

[@Thornspyre81]

My god I love the Bold Pyrrole Red

[@ArtisOpus]

🥰🥰🥰

[@theonetruedoge6375]

I want to see this in a rune sword like the ones wielded by Prosecutors and Errant Questor

[@timothythorne9182]

I love to see you breaking out the Monument Pro Acryl paints.

[@ArtisOpus]

Me too! I am very impressed by their overall quality and usability🤩

[@timothythorne9182]

@@ArtisOpus I've almost switched entirely to using their paints. I only use my other brands to match things I've already painted now

[@PollinatorMk2]

I'm probably going to try a green-turquoise-blue gradient (rather than yellow-orange-red for real lava) on my Necron characters. I can't really imagine it on the blades because of how they are separated into different plates, but I'll try on their shoulder plates/pauldrons to see how it works out!

[@ArtisOpus]

You can make anything look cool if you put enough thought into it, experimenting is one of the most important parts of the hobby😊

[@BarokaiRein]

Funnily enough basically the exact same technique can be used to paint magic swords. Just don't add black dots to it and change the colors,I tried it with blue myself and it actually looks way better than the usual way of painting power swords for example.

[@ArtisOpus]

Oh, fantastic! To be fair, a lot of nice painting is about quality/interesting transitions so that kinda makes sense😊

[@grimmriffer]

A brilliantly executed effect, but, I'd have made it hot at the edge and cool in the middle. The edge is the bit you hurt people with after all. 😆

[@ArtisOpus]

Interesting point, do tag us if you test this out, it could look legit!

[@grimmriffer]

@@ArtisOpus ha, if *I* did it, it would look like something that *rhymes* with "legit". 😆

Hey, I know this an old vid but an eldar witchfire blade would be awesome

[@Chrollo_Lucilfer]

Very cool indeed.

[@ArtisOpus]

Glad you think so!🤩🔥

[@spice6828]

My Salamanders thank you for this and your guide on braziers! It's made a huge difference. Any chance of you doing a free hand flame motif tutorial please? I thinking for Pauldron's and the small chest shield on certain newer Space Marines.

[@ArtisOpus]

You're so welcome, dude! Possibly, videos like that are a little bit niche though and we always try to produce stuff that's relevant to the most people possible😊

[@spice6828]

@@ArtisOpus yep, that makes sense, but if you don't ask you don't get!

[@davidhardstaff8110]

Would look good on a salamander shoulder pad

[@ArtisOpus]

It absolutely would! You could even put texture paint down beforehand if you wanted it to look like cracked lava👌🔥

[@imp3ri3x93]

Great job. Love the effect, I may try it but with blues. You think that would work?

[@ArtisOpus]

Absolutely, dude! You'll need a deep blue in the recesses (so, edges). Do some googling of ice, you'll be surprised what colour it actually is.😊

[@zeehond23]

Did you ever do an OSL drybrush video? I'd love to see you guys go at that

[@ArtisOpus]

We definitely will. We do have quite a few videos that touch on it already, just not exclusively😊

[@juanpic2]

Guauuuu very gooodddd

[@ArtisOpus]

Thanksssss😊

[@bevanwilson8820]

That's a great looking lava sword. I can't help but wonder why you wouldn't want the brighter yellows on the outside. Surely you'd want the cutting edge to be the hottest part. But then again I suppose the hottest part should be the source of the heat. I'm not sure I've seen an "inverse" lava sword. Either way I wanna figure out which model is worthy of such a blade haha. I'd love to see a sword glow reminiscent of a paladin or something like that. Golden heavenly light or something like that

[@ArtisOpus]

Hey dude, good point! I guess Stormcast would actually look really cool with heavenly light coming from the sword😊

[@bevanwilson8820]

@@ArtisOpus I feel like this needs to happen... For science... Just to be sure

[@S2uBuGaming]

Excellent video as always Byron. Really interesting effect and technique. I am not sure when I would use it but it would be great to try. Thanks for your continued support to the community and your ever helpful tutorials, I really have learned a lot from your video. Keep up the great work (and great hair cut BTW) and I am looking forward to the next one already!

[@kamenridertheblueknight5313]

I have a question, how would you paint a burning blade where the fire was white? I’m asking because different colored fire determines how hot it is and I’m sure that white fire is the hottest and I wanna use that for one of my character’s power swords, so what would you recommend?

[@NightRazor]

Is it possible to see what it would take to translate this to the upcoming dragons for Stormcast Eternals dragons? I would like to be able to do them in the theme of Deathwing from World of Warcraft.

[@niallrichardcurran2466]

is this a kittle bit of wet blending with dry brushing? especially at the start. thank you

[@mikecouzens6606]

Hi. Could you do your take on a Necron blade? I struggle with the green blend seen on so many fantastic models...

[@ArtisOpus]

More time on power weapons in general is definitely something we should be doing! When we do I will make sure greet gets a look in as early as possible👌😊

[@ramza813]

AK Burnt Red = best color in the line

[@ArtisOpus]

Couldn't agree more! Although I can't pick between that and Wine Red which is very similar😊🔥

[@Quaaludio]

Amazing video, I'd like to echo the comments below and ask for this in green or purple please!

[@MikeBeals]

Definitely a frost blade or maybe a lightning blade as well with dark blues and purples

[@ArtisOpus]

It's classic colours that will definitely work! 🤩

[@cremationtv9132]

This might be a dumb question, but do you do the exact same thing on the other side of the blade, like you would a power sword?

[@ArtisOpus]

yeah exactly dude! Although if it's facing down you could definitely get away with less stages/speeding up :)

[@Stormeris]

How would you do this if the blade had actual flames sculpted on it? Like the Fatemaster's glaive or CoS Wizard's sword?

[@ArtisOpus]

Check out our How to Paint Flames tutorial. Given that they're both painted realistically it should be easy to combine the techniques for a great finish😊🔥

[@dongutierrez1709]

Can you do one with tesseract glow power sword?

[@ArtisOpus]

I'd just use the strategy we used on our glowy green necron blade, it turned out beautifully!

[@thealleycatuk]

I'm curious how long the difference between being 'allowed' to get a haircut... and 'getting' a haircut, was? [I wanted to link a video from the Mary Whitehouse experience but couldn't find it on KZbin... and I suspect it would only show my advanced age.] I'm all for sword/weapon effects tutorials, the forthcoming Belakor model seems like it warrants something awesome doing to it.

[@ArtisOpus]

I was initially a bit lukewarm on the Belakor model but I think that's largely due to the basically one-colour paint job. After more consideration, I think he'd look really cool with a bit more colour.. I waited 1 day to chop the mushroom off😅😅

[@thealleycatuk]

@@ArtisOpus I agree, I think you could airbrush, drybrush, blend up some really awesome colours while keeping the whole 'shadow demon' schtick. And that sword is just begging for something clever to be done in painting it. I think the model itself is excellent though, Darren Latham's last couple of sculpts have been ridiculously good.

[@ourlocalhero3395]

Frost blade!!!

[@vagrant2863]

I kinda wanna try this with bright green or amber colors.

[@ArtisOpus]

Interesting, I'd probably go green-yellow myself, maybe with a deep purple base like Warpstone 😊

[@RampantFirefly]

Could listen to/watch Byron paint all day. So relaxing. Would love to see some frost blades - I've got some Lich King inspired chaos models.

[@ArtisOpus]

Thanks, dude! We'll absolutely make this a thing. A bit more research is needed, there will be a way to make the technique simple and effective😊

[@NightWolf1982pl]

Ok, so I still have huge problem with overbrushing. If I use only paint on pallete, it will come out chalky and all, like normal dry brushing. But If i use a pad, take some moisture away, take some paint, move it out on pallete... i have like no coverage and it is like it was too diluted and all... what am I doing wrong? :(((

[@ArtisOpus]

Hey dude, it sounds like you're at the extremes with bot htechniques, try taking something like a piece of terrain, using a larger brush (balance is easier to get with them) and just experiment (in small increments!) You could even just stick on the texture palette for a bit :)

[@YuriZahn]

So how about Cold Flames, Ice Swords or *ahem* laser swords?

I've even noticed a reduction in hand shake too, I assume because of the magnification making the mini look bigger so painting requires less concentration? Not sure how it works but it has.

[@benrichardson5662]

Ironic you put this on a Grey Knight when, if I had to bet on it, most people using this are painting Khorne Daemons.

It's not too hot in the UK so sweating the paint off doesn't happen very easily. I do sometimes go and wash my hands between stages if I am worried about it though😊
