I'm in awe of how clean and well painted this is as well as cringing at the paint in ferrule and washes/metalics on the wet palette. A very confusing experience, would watch again.

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

ahahaah DO NOT take exemple from me for what concerns the tools care, I'm a mess and a horrible person with my tools T__T

[@killrockstartv]

@@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures the results speak for themselves, I am having to rethink my basic principles on tool care!

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

oh no, don't be like me with brushes! I'm a bit lazy, so even if when I buy a new brush I spend the first days treating it like a kind of deity/baby child in need, after a while I just get tired of slow down my painting process to be careful not to put the color on the ferrule .__. On the other hand, talking about the wet palette, I'm aware of the "do not put metallic color on wet palette" theory, but I honestly never found out a real evidence of it: I never noticed metallic pigments on the sponge, let alone metallic pigments that find a way to contaminate other colors directly from the sponge. Maybe I'm lucky, or maybe my wet palette doesn't work .__.

[@mikeadams3722]

You're damn right, that's proper 'Eavy Metal standard. Your skill is incredible (not to mention your patience with armour edge highlighting!). It's the subtle details that make it, plus the overall balance of tones, plus the smoothness of the finish. It was an education to watch you create the effect of cracked leather. The result is really quite beautiful, certainly the best Black Templars I've seen (sorry Maxime).

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

Thanks, Mike, I really appreciate ^___^ Personally I love this style, I was grown up following the 'Eavy Metal tutorials on White Dwarf and despite the miniatures painting art has evolved so much during the last years I'm still too attached to this style to abandon it XD I plan to keep going with this kind of videos, Space Marines are maybe a saturated topic but they are interesting to paint and above all they allow me to show you many techniques and colors u__u Said so, I would like also to engage you with something more "technical", I would like to start some Golden Demon entry (I don't know when there will be a new one, but it's better to start in advance :D)!

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

@@bertrandbloch4779 well, I'm thankful in advance for your wish to support our project! About Patreon and video curses in general, I'm still trying to figure out how to approach this matter. Nowadays there are plenty of artists on patreon, many of them way better than me, so before asking you to pay for something mine, I would like to be sure that I'm able to deliver something worthy. Creating video tutorials is funny and fulfilling for me, but as you may imagine is also a time-consuming stuff: at this moment, I'm happy with what we are doing because I can handle this kind of videos without stealing too much time to my proper job, so I think it's cool to give my contents for free! ^^ Only time will tell me if these videos will be enough interesting for the community to invest more time and resources on them (and that would require for sure some kind of retribution), at the moment I'm only focused on sharing with you my painting projects ant tips :) I saw that these two first Space Marines videos have been welcomed unexpectedly well by the community, so I'll keep doing them, but I would like also to make something more technical (like focus on specific techniques) ^^

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

Chris Mason thanks, Chris! I’m still a noob concerning KZbin but when I saw the chapters feature I decided to learn it! :D

[@SaltyBob355]

I’m jealous of ppl with this amount of skill. And no amount of practice can get me to this level. I’ve been “practicing” for 30 yrs now. Lol. Amazing!

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

Well, I understand your feelings because for a long time I felt like being stuck in a kind of limbo where, even if I practiced a lot, I saw no progress. Luckily, painting miniatures is not a crucial life-skill, so as soon as you enjoy it it's cool! Said so, do not believe that what you're seeing is not within your reach, at all! These are basic techniques, that don't require extreme artistic knowledge nor talent, it's more, well, a "scientific" approach. Think about the edge highlight, that is the 90% of the armor look: it's just painting a line, as thin as possible, on all the edges of the miniature: at the beginning, your hand is not accurate and you might paint too thick lines or trembling ones! But you can fix mistakes easily, by using the basecoat color to restore the lines giving them a more uniform shape. With some practice, your hand will become more firmly and you will need to fix less mistakes, and so on. At first, don't look at the overall result, it's too complex: focus yourself on simple tasks. The two basic skills that I suggest to focus on are clean lines and dilution. Reading your comment (and many other) I'm convinced more and more that I need to make a proper video on very basic techniques u__u

[@liquidtoad3910]

same here, been painting over 40 damn years, this hobby drives me nuts. it is supposed to be a fun hobby, but it's hard finding any enjoyment when the paintingresults look subpar after so many years. it's a struggle every single time.

[@MalsBrownCoat]

I'm glad that you recognize that a "basic techniques" video would be very helpful. As someone just starting out, I see where I want to be with my skills, but it's a matter of figuring out how to get there. I've watched a ton of videos from others, but it would be great to get Your perspective on the basics. Also, I appreciate that you show the wet palette as you work. This is very helpful to get a Visual understanding of what the dilutions should look like. Subbed and eagerly awaiting follow up vids. Thanks!

Amazing video and painting!

[@Val4394]

Braaavo per il tutorial sulle Bladeguard hai scelto i Templari. Perché SONO Templari dentro! 😉 Hai fatto la scelta giusta. 👍🏻 Mi ha colpito la parte delle luci sul tabarro.. se ho capito bene metti il modello in orizzontale e dai pennellate una accanto all’altra in verticale lungo le pieghe. La pennellata ovviamente, nonostante per quanto piccola o breve che sia, termina sempre nella parte alta ed esposta, dove ci sarà la lumeggiatura maggiore. Il resto è easy. Giusto il cuoio l’avrei fatto con un marrone più scuretto, ma è questione di scelte pittoriche, come la pistola pure. Ottimo video come sempre! Like like! 😁👍🏻

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

Esattamente, la direzione della pennellata è importantissima e fa la differenza, tieni sempre a mente che il grosso del pigmento si deposita alla fine della pennellata, quindi, quando possibile (ci sono alcuni punti in un modello che ti obbligano ad una determinata direzione, perché magari nascosti tra mille dettagli o in zone poco raggiungibili!), devi sempre cercare di direzionare la pennellata dove vuoi che il colore abbia più effetto. In questo modo, con un po' di pratica e la giusta diluizione, riesci ad avere transizioni morbide con stacchi quasi invisibili :) (discorso cuoio, a gusto ti do ragione, più scuro avrebbe avuto una resa superiore di per sè u__u avevo solo paura che circondato da armatura nera risaltasse poco!)

Marvelous finish! Slick and black as a moonless night. Thank you for the post! Had a quick question regarding your AB clean-up, if I may. What material/ thinner works best for you when cleaning vallejo primers/ varnishes in between paints? And does that mess up your citadel paint texture/ flow afterwards? If you could kindly shed light on these two points, I'd appreciate it immensely. Thanks again!

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

Thanks ^__^ About airbrush, pleas consider that I'm a savage beast, for what concerns AB: I have very low airbrushing skills and I use only cheap and oversized airbrushes because in my hands they have a very short life u_u" said so (I know, not the most reassuring premise XD), my actual aibrush is a kind of highlander, I'm using it for almost a year and I had only to replace the needle once because it fell off my desk. I clean it using only water and Chanteclair degreaser, and I generally dilute my color with water and a couple of drops of Vallejo Airbrush Flow Improver, no matter if they are citadel, vallejo or andrea (the range I usually use). I'm sorry for not being extremely helpful in this specific topic, I suggest you to follow Angel Giraldez's channel: kzbin.info/door/QVY6ZD9YjxwPzJqJ6DcHgA you probably know him, because he's one of the best painters out there, and he's also great with airbrush!

I won't lie: before achieving this level of precision, I had to practice a lot. But you can paint a great edge highlight even if you are not able to paint straight lines in a single brushstroke! If, for example, you paint a too thick line, it's just a matter of make it thinner adjusting it with the basecoat color.

Wow that’s excellent brush work. Could you go over the gold receive for the shield trim? I didn’t catch it in the video. Thanks.

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

Of course! The gold is a mix between Retributor Armor and Ironwarrior: I mixed them in a ratio 60%/40%, but then it's up to you, the more Ironwarrio you add to the mix, the colder and greener the gold will be ^^ With metallic color is crucial to paint a smooth basecoat, so keep the color diluted (with equal part of water) and paint several coats 'till you have a nice, uniform basecoat. Once ready, I gave a wash with Agrax Earthshade Gloss mixed with a bit of Anthonian Camoshade (optional, I noticed that the Anthonian was barely visible...). For a tabletop mini, you can stop here, but if you want to add more details, I then added some glazes of Contrast Snakebite Leather, diluted with an equal part of Contrast Medium to enhance the shadows of the gold and make it more deep and interesting, and then I add some glazes of Contrast Gore Grunta Fur (diluted too) to make the deepest recesses more intense. Then I add some runefang steel to the basecoat mix, and I highlight the edges of the gold ^^

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

Thanks!! About dilution, it mostly depends on the specific colour and only experience can tell you how much to dilute it, but let's say that in general I use two kinds of dilution: •standard: for edges that I have to paint "directly" (I mean, when the edge is not so "edgy" so I can't just use the side of the brush, but I have to literally draw the line with my brush -for example, the edges of the knee, or the edges of the chest or arms) I do not dilute too much the color, about 1 part water, 2 part color and a bit of Lahmian Medium. I paint a couple of lines, or even one, then I wash the brush, reload it and so on. •edgy edges: for those edges that are very "edgy" (for example, the side edges of the legs, or the shoulder pads trim, or the collar or the edgy plate above the knee in primaris armor), I paint them using the side of the brush: this way is very easy and fast to have perfect lines. In this situation, I keep the color slightly more diluted, because I want that it flows better. If, with this technique, you use a too thick color, it's very likely to paint big and not uniform lines. So with "edgy edges" use a more diluted color, keep a very few amount of it on the bristles and then use the side of the brush to paint. You have to paint 2-3 layers to obtain a perfect result, but it's easier to do it than to explain it, believe me :D

cool job!

[@punkcabbage]

Wow, this paint job is *phenomenal*! So clean and crisp. Amazing work, new subscriber right here. How many coats of yellow did it take to get a smooth basecoat over black? I've really struggled with this!

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

Thanks, Chris, welcome! :D Averland sunset is probably the best yellow color ever produces (apart the legendary Foundation Iyanden Darksun): despite it has decent brightness, it has also a fair coverage! To avoid lumps, I preferred to paint 3-4 diluted coats and take my time. If you have to paint large surface, I always suggest to use airbrush (like I did with the Imperial Fists that we are about to upload :D), but for surfaces like that vulkite pistol, it's better to spend a couple of minutes more and be sure to have a perfect coat. The risk with yellow, in fact is that having a bad coverage, people usually paint thick coats, gaining only a very bad result. Of course, if you want to speed the process is better to start with a white base, but I'm not a fan of it.

[@punkcabbage]

@@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures I've been there - yellow not covering very well and then thinking, that I must be over thinning it. Then the next coat is too thick and doesn't look so good! Thank you for taking the time to reply, really appreciate it!

[@TheRyano4ever]

i love watching your edge highlighting, might i ask how often you have to reapply paint to the brush becuase it goes dryish?io feel as though im doing it way too often... and have to add water constantly to stop the paint from drying out

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

It depends, thanks to these brushes quality and size I'm able to load them with a big amount of paint, so depending on the color I use (some colors are richer in pigments and dry quickly), I can paint 2-3 edges before having to reload my brush!

[@adriant1654]

Amazing!

[@darkeningaspect6660]

Looks incredible! The metallics especially. I'd love to know how you keep such a great tip on your brushes for the detailed work. I got a W&n S7 and I just can't get it to hold a point.

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

I've seen many requests about brushes, and especially about how to keep a sharp tip! Indeed, I think that 90% of the job is done by W&N, they are awesome brushes, I think that they worth any € spent on them (unfortunately, a lot XD).

[@darkeningaspect6660]

Could be the basis for a video, if you're into hobby tips as well as tutorials :) Yeah I had a really good time with them on the first go. So I suspect I've either got paint in the ferrule that I'll need to soak out or there's a technique I'm not quite getting hold of to maintain it through a whole painting session.

[@astroeclipse5392]

Holy shit dude ur edge highlighting skills are something that I would dream to have. How are you edge highlighting with such speed? I take easily 2 hours on a single model edge highlighting and even my lines are never that straight and I have to fix it up most of the time. I also notice that during the same area edge highlighting you are able to widen the highlight slightly as you go, how the heck do you achieve that ? Again awesome video was very relaxing to watch.

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

Thanks! I think it's only a matter of practice ^^ the more you paint, the faster you'll become :)

[@abbiplay5974]

So strong Paintjob. How long you need for this awesome Edgehighlights?

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

well, I noticed that in 2-3 hours I edge highlight the first light the whole armour, the next steps are a bit faster, cause you have to paint less edges!

[@tomfson8609]

How many coats did you use to get that yellow on the gun? I'm asking since yellow often doesn't have the best coverage and especially on black

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

about 3 diluted coat of Averland Sunset. If you want to speed up the process, with an airbrush is pretty simple, fast and effective, or just paint it over a white/light grey base ^^

Exceptional work, subbed, can I ask what brushes are you using? Thanks

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

Hi! I use principally Windsor&Newton series 7 (watercolor type) size 2 and 1. I'm testing also Da Vinci miniature Maestro, and they are great too!

How did you get the shoulder pads to get so smooth, plus any tips on edge highlighting overall?

[@wolfworks101]

I want you to take my money and teach me this.... bloody amazing!!!!

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

ahaha, it's just a matter of practice, if you pay attention on the techniques that I used, you will easily realize that they are pretty simple: it's just a matter of doing straight lines and "clean" washes :D Maybe one day I can make a video with more basic techniques, just to give you a more clear explanation of them ^^

[@wolfworks101]

@@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures the flow you get off your brush is... insane. I've never been able to get that right... it dries in 0.0001 of a second or i touch the model and the titanic comes flooding out

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

@@wolfworks101 that is indeed the most difficult part of the "painting improvement", do not get discouraged about that because ALL of us have to deal with it even after years of practice. There is not a kind of holy grail of dilution, because you'll easily realize that different colors/brand/hues/techniques require their own dilution ratio! Only with practice you'll get that experience that will tell you how to dilute a color, unfortunately I have no secrets about that T__T Said so, consider these principles: •when I have to edge highlight, I don't dilute too much the color: it's a waste of time! Instead, I just keep it about 80%color/20%water (or, better, Lahmian Medium). For this task you need a kind of creamy consistency. •when I have to paint with classic transitions (like the tabard), I dilute the color with a kind of watercolor consistency, so very diluted: about 20% color, 80% water (with a bit of Lahmian Medium, that helps you to maintain a kind of coverage).

[@MarioVicoDrums]

Wow man, that's pure class on painting. My fav chapter. Just amazing how good it looks. How many time takes you per mini? That way I can count 10 times more for me to achive 50% of that result..hehehe. Congrats bro.!!!

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

Mario Vico ahahah thanks! I spent about 8/10 hours on this guy, consider that filming slowed down a bit the process!

[@marq0992]

Why did you apply matt varnish before continuing to paint the shield? Was it for better paint adhesion?

[@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures]

Principally because of paint adhesion, but also to avoid a "caramelized armor" effect :) I gave a gloss coat to help the wash to flow into recesses and increase the capillarity, but the glossy finish is weird looking u__u
