How to Paint: NMM Gold on a Stormcast Eternal Annihilator from Dominion!

[@southerngrey]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. You top level fellas just giving away your knowledge is equivalent to the golden goose teaching us all how to lay non metallic metal golden eggs. I am extremely grateful. This was phenomenal to watch. Thank you.

Rich out here giving away how to casually win a Golden Demon. Great stuff Rich 👍🏻

About 35 minutes in, I’m looking at the miniature thinking ‘that’s incredible’, Your voice over “it looks really bad”. It shows the difference in skill levels between us but, from my point of view, it’s what makes it so fascinating to watch. Keep up the good work!

[@roopy1]

This was probably the best video on NMM I’ve ever seen! Explained so well and so thoroughly I was glued for the whole hour. Looking forward to the next part. Thank you sir!

[@zacsuth]

I feel like I’m in on one of the best secrets on KZbin with this channel. That won’t be the case for long. Awesome work as always!

[@WardenOfTerra]

This is how Van Gogh painted his works. Where it's all about the addition of layers to build texture so that it visually blends due to the depth rather than technically blending each colour on the palette. It gives surfaces far more interest. This has always been one of my favourite styles to paint in. It's so much fun as you can make things work that wouldn't work when using a more traditional 'Renaissance' blending method.

[@KingPrincess69]

This mini is the best NMM I have ever seen. Watching a tutorial on how to do it feels like a privilege.

[@djm.4807]

This was honestly the most helpful nmm tutorial I have watched so far. Thank you!

[@michaelgilmore2558]

Been hyped for this ever since I saw it on your Instagram!

[@THATUKGUY2023]

Hands down the best and most informative painting tutorials on youtube, absolutely astounding stuff.

[@demonrich]

Thank you very much

[@eduardorodriguezcorrea7386]

This video is just a masterclass after a year of the first watch I keep coming to it and learning from it! I’ve improved so much thanks a lot!

[@Derpwalker]

This is amazing. I see so many attempts at painting NMM that just look awful, like just gradients without thinking where reflections are, that I started to hate that technique. And then you appeared and gave me hope again. Thank you, great job.

[@paintbusch]

Okay, I have a few things to say about this... 1. I really don’t get why these masterpieces of tutorials don’t get more views and why you are not like at 200k followers already. That’s just bullocks. 2. This gold NMM looks just insanely beautiful. Funnily enough I’ve done my first NMM mini paintjob today and boy do I have to learn a lot.. But this is just everything I wanted it to be. I honestly was thinking about painting my Dominion Stormcasts in a NMM style and THIS will be my reference. 3. Honestly, Richard. This might sound a bit weird but I didn’t want this to end. :D I‘m thoroughly enjoy your long, relaxing and beautiful tutorials. They are just a pleasure to watch/listen to and I feel like I could watch you paint for hours and learn a lot. And I can’t wait for what you‘ve got next up your sleeve. Thank you very much!!!

[@nessus47]

I bow to your superior skills and the fact that you are willing to show us how it is done. Thank you so much, it is a delight that you have made this channel for all die-hard mini painter fans.

[@rhag1394]

This is the best nmm guide I've watched! Thank you

[@SPACENOMADMALEV]

Cheers Richard for taking the time to put this together for the YT peeps. This Dominion box really blasted out the free-content for the masses !

[@ChewiePainting]

these tutorial are so good richard! love the calm voice and all the effort that you put into this - its realy good !

[@roganzar]

This is the tutorial I needed for painting my Sigvald. I want to do nmm gold on his armor but have been feeling intimidated by the prospect of doing it well. There’s a kind of roughness to painting this that makes me feel more comfortable with with the technique.

[@protanomania7284]

you don't make it look easy, but you make it look fun! going to try this out on some old stormcast i have laying around

[@redrooster7371]

Thanks a lot. It always takes some time to watch your videos but I love every minute of it. So much insight in your thoughts and painting process.

[@MrLokhe]

It was really cathartic to watch you slowly scratch away at this model and hearing you narrate it. Personally I really love it when the brush strokes are visible, but then at arm's length or on the table top it all blends together really well. Amazing job! One thing I really struggle with myself is how to deal with direction of the light source. I noticed in the penultimate section (when painting the back of the right shoulderpad) you highlighted the model as if the light was coming at it from about the same angle as the front, only from the opposite direction. In a real life scenario (assuming the sun is your light source) you would only really get those highlights on the front of the model, whereas the back of the model would be much darker and duller. I understand that in order to make the model more interesting to look at, you may want to "cheat" in this manner and highlight the back of the model in a similar manner to the front, to emulate perhaps the character having turned around and now having the sun in their back. I find this effect very tricky to wrap my head around, where to place the second highlight as to not make it look very weird from the side. What are your thoughts on this? :)

[@danollerenshaw8410]

That is some damn fine NMM gold. Great work!

[@kiesminis]

Fantastic tutorial Richard, this will certainly help me in future NMM I paint it very brightly far but I definitely feel using techniques here will improve my own style. Kieran

[@adamallen5691]

This is amazing, so detailed and broken down into steps that actually make sense thanks Rich!

[@anthonyunwin2081]

Amazing, didn't know you had your own you tube channel, how stupid do I feel, thank god I've found it now 🙏

[@sellsword]

Gotta say, didn’t really understand what they meant by high contrast and asymettrical lighting. After throwing myself at nmm for a week it’s insane to see how incredible this guy is, it’s insane how beautiful this comes out with his techniques.

[@Adamslee72]

Many thanks for sharing I've been trying nmm gold for years and keep failing and fantasy figs being my favourite your vid is certainly an eye opener for can't wait to get my Dominion set I'll practice for now on an old storm cast fig thanks for sharing your knowledge appreciated

[@TheDiscobeef]

Thank you for making this. Your advice is really useful and watching how you apply the paint and use the brush is brilliant

[@BinxyBrown]

This is great info, thank you so much!

[@Dmitry_Solid]

Amazing result!!! As soon as my box arrives, I will definitely try this mmm)))

[@adamfillier3515]

Thank you sir - incredibly generous - brilliant work

[@outofthisworldmodelsandmin898]

Thanks for such an easy to understand tutorial! Am now subscribed. -John

[@Voular]

I am just about to start on a warcry warband, and want to try NMM on them. Certainly have armour trim in gold! Great video, thank you.

[@michaelgoldsmith3834]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Great stuff!

[@MadRedCap]

60 minutes of Richard painting? That's me 60 minutes watching KZbin.

[@adamkimberley2575]

This is such a great tutorial. Thanks mate!

[@brali1717]

These are awesome videos, great job and keep going!

[@dhxmg]

This is amazing, thank you so much for uploading this!

[@AviTheFire]

i still canneth believe that this is NMM. Anyway, thanks for the free masterclass!

[@giroppa99]

Amazing work

[@danjackco24]

Love it 😀 I'm definitely going to give this ago

[@bryanm6826]

Outstanding work. Thank you for sharing. How do you create the perfect pancake shapes of your paint on the wet pallet?

[@John-xn6sn]

I can apricate this but I can see my self painting 100 guys like this.

[@jemholland6964]

Richard "they look really bad" Me "they looking f-ing amazing"

[@Wijkert]

I find airbrushing without a needle-guard (or whatever it's called) very stressful. Also destroyed a needle that way, so that might have something to do with it ;)

[@rossevans3862]

Hi there. Great video! Can you tell me why you used the xv88 at the beginning? You don’t seem to use it again later whereas you do use the mournfang brown. Thanks.

[@bhairava21]

Amazing!

[@Samhain23]

Is there any way to start the base without an airbrush? I see so many tutorials that use them but my paint space is incredibly tiny and I just don't have the space for it at the moment.

[@shruggingatlasminiatures]

Phenomenal!

[@fabiotesta4542]

You are not human 😵‍💫

[@Ljaysauz]

I just want to know how he mixes his paints on his palette. It looks so buttery smooth. Does he just use water?

[@Mortres]

I think you can see the process at 53:33. He creates his glazes with water.

[@jeff551z]

How come you blutac it together?

[@Lodorn]

Does anyone know what brush that is?

[@saltedllama2759]

On those thigh plates, I think it's odd that you chose to put the highlight on the upper part of the plate given that light tends to "slide" downward on metal. The brightest spot of reflection often ends up towards the bottom of a surface like that. You showed that on the lightning bolt right next to it, which led to a bit of an awkward visual composition.

[@Firestalker]

This is great, but never in my life have I found a brush that sharp, straight, thin, and firm. I constantly feel like I'm pushing the paint around with spaghetti...

[@MenagerieAU]

Vince V sent me

[@Wijkert]

13:36 I gonna be honest, my attention kept being drawn by the imperfection in the armor (especially the right shoulder). That being said, I am very anal about how clean my models need to be. Also the way you paint can accentuate imperfections; for example airbrushing, dry brushing will highlight them more than regular brush painting.

[@anibalgonzalez7990]

I thought that it was TMM... how wrong I was!

[@jasonnewman3355]

I feel like your paint was drying out *really* fast on your palette.

I cant believe its not metal Like my eyes are like “thats metal” This is some blak magic shit

[@DudeOnASkateboard]

Games Workshop called... They want you to stop giving away free pointers and putting their "Citadel Color Masterclass" videos to shame.

[@sirtootiemus]

Beginner guide 😂😂

[@x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x]

Non metallic metal is really bad, I never liked look of it.

[@demonrich]

Well that's just your opinion ;)
