INCREDIBLE METAL made easy! Using ONLY ONE METALLIC PAINT?

Best channel for this hobby in my opinion, well done 👍

[@ThewallyMan100]

The one thing I have Learned from putting knights together magnetize the weapons and paint the plates separate. It would take just a little bit more time but it makes everything easier and if you do won’t to keep the plates on use blue tack because sometimes people don’t know how much a little bit of glue or what kind to use. Super glue as a dot will work but plastic glue will weld the peace’s together and when pulled apart might damage the model. You don’t won’t to damage something you have payed up to $100 or more so I just recommend the blue tack or paint them separate.

[@te9591]

I had an idea. I think it would be neat to see a couple Tyranid gaunts painted in Caucasian fleshtone on their skin, flat matte, with their hard shells painted slightly lighter like the color of finger nail and then with a white edged tip. Finish with a gloss on the shell only. Like the nids absorbed human biomass and wound up looking like them. Maybe even put some blemishes like a mole or freckles or glued on hair fibers in certain areas emulating human organic textures..

[@benjamincliman2735]

I know that the Vallejo metal colors are generally the recommendation from many people in terms of metallics, but honestly I prefer the game air/model air metallics for regular brush painting. They're inexpensive, have a very reflective finish with no graininess like you get from something like the GW metallics, and have awesome coverage. I tried the scalecolor metallics as well, and while those have a nice finish, the coverage isn't nearly as good and they don't go on as smooth as the Vallejo metallics. Definitely liking the technique of overbrushing that you're doing here for basecoating as well, I can't believe I wasn't doing it before, it just saves so much time.

[@ArtisOpus]

Thanks very much, dude! Agree on all accounts! If you want a proper British-indy metallic recommendation to check out Dark Star paints - they're super interesting and generally exceptional 😊

@@ArtisOpus ?

[@simonleach6632]

That looks super nice, but I think I would stop quite early on, cover it with hairspray, then a red/brown "primer" then I would slap a paint job over all that with the salt chipping technique because this would be an awesome base for a layered chipping effect! then you can be choosy about weathering and pick out the bare metal bits to add rust effects to that make most sense and leave some shiney bits as recent damage! Damn, you got me thinking again.... Oh yeah, also, have you ever tried streaking effects like where rain has washed some of the grime out from between panels? That might look really good over a scheme like this, and its super easy to do too!

[@Aalborgian]

Just stumbled onto this one. And it made me want to paint all of my knights in that colour scheme. A question though: decals, before or after weathering? I'm tending towards before.

[@ArtisOpus]

100% before, the weathering is a fantastic tool to tie everything together🤩

[@Aalborgian]

@@ArtisOpus Thank you. Thought so too. Any damage to the decal would just be weathering damage to the knight in question.

[@pinkwolf6407]

I love the colour scheme here, the dark grey metal is exactly what I had in mind for my current project. I’ve ordered my dry brushes & I’m going to give it a go on the armour plates on my Wulfen. Can we substitute similar citadel colours in if we don’t have Vallejo/air?

[@ArtisOpus]

Hey dude, fantastic, thanks for the support! Of course: The important thing is to pick a 'good' metallic, try and get one with these properties: Bright (we can add black to darken) Strong! (Good coverage) High quality: fine pigments (Some GW feel smoother, less grainy, you want ones like this, retributor armour is a perfect example, you want a silver equivalent)

Would you suggest, of not battling the clock, to varnish between the first drybrush step and the wash step?

[@ArtisOpus]

Before the wash step dude :)

[@graememolineux49]

Awesome video, Artis, thanks! I will be trying this technique on a 1/72 Razor Crest when I get to it. I have trouble drybrushing acrylics as they dry so quickly. Yours seem to be still workable after 20 and 30 minutes. Why is it so? Is it the brand, or the metallic content? I'd love to know!

[@ArtisOpus]

Hey dude, I can't pin it down specifically, but I don't think it's anything to do with the brand (it doesn't contain retarder, etc). I leave it neat on a primed palette, it's chaos black which is satin, that extends working time... And with the paint not being diluted you haven't increased evaporation speed, neat until used is safer, much like a traditional artist's palette :). The palette itself is impregnated, but the prime is recommended in addition. I now use the XXL redesigned one, it's got more flat space for traditional use, it's on the second page of this link :) store.artis-opus.com/en-de/collections/series-d-drybrushing Any more questions let me know in another comment, not a reply, they get lost :)

[@advictoriamgaming7554]

I know it's a long shot but can you give us the exact recipes for the two washes?

[@ArtisOpus]

Honestly bud, it just doesn't matter: You're doing multiple stages, each of which obscures some of the last, you could always note yours down the first time so you have exact replicable steps, if you wanted a way to have an army all exactly the same. Don't want to come off flippant, and understand it's more comfortable for people to follow an exact recipe, if you rock on without one though... You will still smash it, and get an amazing result. Do let us know if you do, in another comment, KZbin isn't great for notifications on ongoing conversations:).

Like you I dislike painting "Wobbly" bits but then as I paint on the sprue, this tends not to happen. And yes there will be some out there that find that an abomination, painting on a sprue then having to match up afterwards but it's how I achieve the effect I am after. Also I tend to paint metallic with rust effects saving on multiple steps - maybe you should try it and see if it suits your needs? Cheers.

[@isisnmagic1812]

It's your kit, paint as you feel and certain techniques cross over if its miniatures, planes , tanks or cars. And yes I get the painting on the spruce bit, I had one guy in a group tell me " you shouldn't paint on the sprue" I told him you do it your way and I'll do it mine, lol not in that group anymore.

I absolutely love the cool metal look you got! I'm curious, should you use a separate brush for working with metallics? my concern is some of the metallic flakes getting stuck in your bristles and turning all your future projects metallic. kinda like how if you're layering, everyone says you should use a separate water jar to keep the metal flake out of your non-metallic paints.

[@ArtisOpus]

I should do, but don't always... I clean my brushes as I go (dampening pad, texture-palette) and it makes a really big difference. If you ever see me using a brush with a black dot on the end... They are the ones I reserve for metallics only, I just don't always remember :)

I bought the metal colour as it can be used to make glazes from. I just hope it;s good for this sort of thing as well, as honestly I've bought so many metallics paints now, I'd hate to have to start buying even more. Although I'd only need the one air brush vallejo for this (the metal colour is air brush paint as well though)

How do you not strip the paint away when handling it with your bare hands? I have to use gloves when painting
