I loved that intro. I thought it was going to be really hard to get out of it but it turned out to be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Beautiful creation! Laughed so hard at “Woopsie” 😂😂👍🏼

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

I would like to take credit for the hilariousness but I can't. Gonwatch the Pitch Meeting videos, you will love them

[@bmbtdk]

I love the skin tone and the armor and especially the statue, a joy to watch aswalys!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks 😘

[@alBoomer19]

I love this. I feel like I learned a lot of techniques for each section, and since you explain your reasoning and thought process I feel like I can take a bunch of these techniques and apply them with different models/colors. I especially liked the glazing techniques.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks

[@nnnssnhfgj3862]

i like this kind of highlighting of the red with te tau ochre more than fire dragon

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Makes for a more muted red which I really like for armour

[@bw1469]

As always, great job :) I really liked the way you used the mix of contrast paint and regular paint for the leather highlight, and the juicy unifying glaze afterwards. I'm definitely going to try that.

Taking intro tips from Ninjon now - definitely adds some humour. Another great tutorial

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Not from Ninjon, no. Not to dismiss Ninjon's work or anything but I don't watch (and have never watched) his videos. This is taken directly from Ryan George's Pitch Meeting series for Screenrant one of my absolutely favourite series in KZbin. Again, not saying his content is not good, just be clear, I'm sure it's excellent. I just rarely watch other hobby channels.

[@uriance88]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Aah, I don't watch the screenrant videos (and habitually never take time to read the intros to videos - because that delays getting to the awesome content). Ninjon's 'signature' has become humorous intros, so a fair number of hobby channel followers might think that's where it came from

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

That's awesome, just note that I've been doing humourous intros for a long time as well, the first one was if I recall correctly the Copper NMM on October last year. Of course they were pretty lame back then and they are more complex with time. If you are a person with good sense of humour and you start to pour more of yourself into the content you make, I guess we all come to similar points.

Hey Juan, really loving your videos, I always learn something new, thanks a lot for that! I have a question: You used a few glazes in this video. How do you mix those? Do you just use water or do you use any kind of medium? Is it different for the ones with metal color?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

If nothing is clearly stated, just water.

[@kassill3786]

beautiful work! If you were to paint Blood Knights, would you do the barding on the Nighmares the same as the riders armor using this method or something else?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Honestly, o think the recipe the Warhammer TV guys used in their video is spot on, just needs more work put into the highlights

[@CGOLAN]

I have enjoyed all of Cursed City movies including 3h one, current one and Chaos Warrior movie as for now. Really cool stuff. I wonder what paint scheme would you pick for other vampires that were included in The Crimson Court? Still red armor or different?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

I personally prefer all to have the same colour scheme myself

[@fernandomorillo]

[@rubengalvez2006]

Flipante como siempre 🤘🏻🤘🏻. No me queda del todo claro cómo hacer el glaze con las contrast 🥺

[@rubengalvez2006]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures jajaja ok

[@damianmacias7859]

I could replace the skin layer with the Nuln oil wash and have the same effect or would it be better to use another paint?

You mean to paint for detail and not speed paint with contrasts?

Love your scheme for this, esp the vampire skin Would love to see you paint the rest of the court or even some classic WHFB Vampire minis like Vlad. Edit: Btw, at the 33 minute mark. The mini in the upper left near the Vyrkos Bloodborn. What is that?

[@oliverquickdidnothingwrong]

Love it as always. Didn't realize I wasn't subscribed! Question--how do you keep SUCH a tiny point on your brushes? I'm trying out a similar kolinsky sable brush and can't get nearly as fine a point.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Light touch and not overload your brush. That's basically it

Buenas. ¿La pintura contrast la tomas directamente del bote o la depositas en una paleta humedad?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

En paleta siempre, ya sea húmeda o seca. Nunca pintes directamente del bote, esa es la mejor manera de destrozar tus pinceles. Yo uso la húmeda pq ya la tengo fuera y es conveniente pero he usado la seca a veces y el resultado es el mismo ya que solo doy una capa y no vuelvo a esa pintura más.

[@Resolcer]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures ¿La pintura contrats la diluyescon agua cuando quieres quitarle espesura ?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

No, agua nunca. Si quiero que el color sea más tenue uso el Contrast Medium que para eso está. A veces las Contrast pueden ser un poco demasiado espesas y es conveniente una pintura más fluida, cuando necesito eso, uso Lahmian Medium.
