Awesome Frost Ice Armor Paint Tutorial ! - Age of Sigmar Slaves to Darkness Varanguard

[@bas_6983]

Why the liquitex glaze after the UV resin instead of before? Doesn't that dull down the resin also? Great tutorial btw!

[@TheHobbyCollab]

That's a great point! I ended up losing more of the blue color after the resin layers than intended. The post resin glazes (with the Prussian blue) was a reaction to wanting more color, not a part of the original plan. Liquitex ink is pretty glossy/satin out of the bottle so I didn't think the difference in finish was noticeable. However, in retrospect I think it would be smart to brush on a layer of gloss both for a unified finish and protection, because inks can be a little fragile. Great question!

@@TheHobbyCollab Cool, thanks! I love the unique look and will definately consider it for an army in the future!

This is EXACTLY what i imagined when thinking of how i wanted to paint my Slaves to darkness

[@MoadikumMoodocks]

This is great Cire.

[@zramirez5471]

Its really incredible what the resin does on this: its really surprising to me how few content creators use different materials - even like mod podge or liquitex! I've only seen a couple that even do different varnish finishes for different surfaces (matte over everything then like satin on metals). Liquitex gloss with fluorescents is my favorite method for fancy effects.

[@brettlee4955]

Amazing

[@JohannanasTheBrave]

Looks awesome!

[@Anthony_io]

Holy crap. I never considered using UV resin like this.

[@patc6099]

I thought the same thing😊

[@AdeptusArtifexus]

My dude, you are destined for more views & subs! This is so cool! (like ice 😅), I'll be learning a whole lot from you, I think! Easy sub from me & best of luck on your KZbin journey, amigo! 😁

Are you going to do a showcase of all the knights when youre done with this series?

[@cireesco]

Yes, absolutely!

[@thegamersmanifesto3671]

Love this, my slaves to darkness are frost death knight themed and I picked up some UV resin to try something like this on the bigger models. Happened across this tutorial from the Banners of Chaos project on reddit. Waiting for Abraxia and the next 3 to arrive now.

[@sshim950]

Incredible!

I agree. The best ice armor I've seen!

[@hobbycathartic]

This is absolutely stunning. I'm definitely going to give this tutorial a try. Amazing work.

You can clean UV resin off your brush using Isopropyl Alcohol.

[@SigurdBraathen]

Oh, now I need UV resin and UV torch (flashlight)! Thanks for the money I'll lose on this!!! =-P

[@TheHobbyCollab]

Welcome to the club!

[@derskalde4973]

Would using a silicon brush or silicon tool be an alternative to sacrificing a brush? In theory, you could just pull the cured resin off afterwards.

[@TheHobbyCollab]

I havent tried it, so Im hesitant to give a firm answer. I think the resin would also ruin the the silicone if Im being honest though.

[@carsonphipps9904]

Would this work on smaller scale chaos warriors?

[@TheHobbyCollab]

Absolutely!

[@BacklogBuster]

Resins yellow over time, so how does the model look 8 months later?

[@TheHobbyCollab]

!remindme

[@TheLxsd]

As someone who's contemplating making an army in that style, I would also be interested to know how the resin holds :) Good point @BacklogBuster. And awesome work @TheHobbyCollab!

[@MrDaqar]

What's the reason for choosing UV-resin over a gloss varnish?

[@TheHobbyCollab]

Resin is quite thick, almost like a glue. When it dries it gives a ton of "dimension" to the model, wheras gloss varnish dries flat against a surface.

[@morrisonnolan5687]

Which uv resin did you use here?

[@TheHobbyCollab]

Green Stuff Worlds Clear UV resin!

[@morrisonnolan5687]

@@TheHobbyCollab Besides GSW are there any UV resins you would recommend? Thank you

[@TheHobbyCollab]

@@morrisonnolan5687 Im sorry, I dont have any first hand experience with other brands. I have heard that the ones used in nail art are comparable, but I cant say for certain.

[@SigurdBraathen]

Is this 28 mm scale?

[@TheHobbyCollab]

Age of Sigmar is “heroic 28 mil” so mostly

[@glengearhart5298]

Can you show doing this without an airbrush?

[@PapaBadger823]

Also would like to know this, super awesome scheme but don't wanna drop $300 doing it tbh

[@TheHobbyCollab]

I dont think Ill make a video for it, but I can tell you how Id do it. Instead of airbrushing blue, Id use 2-3 different rattlecans of varying blue and grey hues. Once dry, Id glaze on some turquoise paint with a brush to smooth out the transitions. Then continue on as in the tutorial to the drybrush and resin etc. Another method would be to stipple the blues on with a round brush and thinned down blue paints. It would be a little less smooth, but it would probably still look awesome! Sorry for the late reply!
