I really like the way you demonstrate your painting techniques! You are a great teacher of painting. Instant follow!

[@paul80085]

Juan, you put out content that is far and above a lot of other painters out there. Thanks for teaching us common folk how to paint like the pros

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks, that really means a lot

[@rhag1394]

So sparkling! This effect is amazing and actually looks like it requires less blending than a normal power axe. Obviously you do need master craftsman brush control :D Thank you for guide!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks 😘

[@mirage809]

That is a cracking axe! Love how Dante came out. Might even like it better than the NMM scheme that 'Eavy Metal did. The Axe tutorial is a handy one. I never quite grasped how to best place highlights on an axe blade. Having it shown step by step like this really helps put it all together.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks

[@facesnbases9853]

Lovely easy to follow guide. Excellent use of that colour you dislike so much 😅

As someone newish to the hobby actually showing a rougher sketching phase, with the glazing and touch ups included, actually made this style of power weapon painting seem approachable. I'm excited to actually try it now. Thanks for the videos!

I really enjoyed this and the power sword video you did. Love your color choices and ease of applying. Wonder if you would go the next step and show how to paint the thunder hammer? None of the video's out there have very satisfactory outcomes

[@uocypher74]

Wish you would consider a power hammer video... can't figure that one out.

[@davijoe2002]

I love Sotek Green. It mixes really well with black and white. You can almost get away without the othe blues!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Exactly! You most definitely can do it just with three paints but I always try to simplify the steps and mixing only causes more doubts on people. Giving them definitive and very precise steps makes for a more repeatable tutorial

[@paintbusch]

Fantastic paintjob and very good tutorial😊

[@Rannos1677]

The close up shots you provide are so incredibly helpful and showing the paint consistency on your thumb vs others who show on a pallet which isn’t as helpful! Uhhh Temple Guard BLUE?? Blue? SMH

[@louisbriane]

As always a masterclass, and for free, you're a gift that keeps on giving! I'm just slightly disapointed that you didn't freehanded "F U Rob" in the lightning of the axe, it's the back of the min after all :x ^^

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

🤣🤣🤣

[@BadgerLovingFluffster]

Excellent tutorial as always. And excellent model all over! You might want to sort out the focus on the bit you painted at the end though 😉

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Focus is hard for certain models, specially when you do allow your own

[@BadgerLovingFluffster]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Yeah, I appreciate that. Also extra hard on a turning base. But anyway, the video was brilliant 👍

[@mathewdensmore3285]

Hi Juan, always appreciate the content! One general comment, when you mention thinning your paints in your videos, can you clarify what medium you are doing so with? Between water, contrast medium, lahmian medium etc, there are lots of options these days and it would make attempting the same techniques a little more clear. Thanks for another awesome tutorial!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

It's very easy for my videos and it applies to all of them If I don't specify it's water If I use something else it's always clearly noted

[@mathewdensmore3285]

[@KuPaoChicken]

It was amazing. Did you have any art training? I tried to follow what you did exactly, but therr was no way I could paint such small lines even with my smallest brush. I couldn't even do the fades you had on the blade. I dry brushed it with three different blues I'm going darker to light towards the edge. It's all I could do. I've only been painting for 3 months and these videos kill my confidence. They're great though

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

I've been painting miniatures for over 20 years, I make it look very easy but these are advanced techniques. You will get there, trust me.

[@Isgoroth]

This may be a silly question, but could this be done with a dark metal colour instead of black ?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Yes, 100%

[@destrocrimson]

what orange colors would you suggest for a chaos type of lighting

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Watch my Avatar Body and Flames video and use the flame Colours

[@SaimHannRookie]

Do you have one more suited for a power sword, looking for something for my yncarne blade :) thanks for the amazing video!

Yes I have several power sword videos, feel free to look at the Swords playlist

[@SaimHannRookie]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures thanks man! Will take a look :)

[@thedoombroom5331]

I'm trying to do something similar for my chaos terminators. Would you suggest doing the same order but with red/orange colors? Or would you use a different base color?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Exactly the same but with the red - orange progression

[@DBSG1976]

How can you look at Pastel Blue and not want to bathe your Chaos Space Marines in it?! On a serious note, I appreciate the tutorial.
