Again very clear and awsome. Thank you a lot. One thing that I think also adds to it a lot, is the contrast to the rest of the materials. The end result becomes a lot clearer, when contrasted to the other materials on the model (like the fur in this case). The result in the prior stages before these got painted was sometimes a bit difficult to judge.

thank you again, hope you ll keep enjoying the content

I've just tried this technique and it's the first time I've liked the final finish of the metallic. Thank you so much for sharing it.

[@theminiforge]

very happy to hear! hope you ll find other techniques ive covered useful also

[@lilpain1997]

perfect for me. I have a paladin oath breaker for DnD and I wanted him in black armour and was going to do NMM but I am not really at that level just yet. This will be perfect for him and looks great.

Glad you liked it, there is also a newer video on black armor if you want ot contemplate other options

[@toadpope2522]

I love your tutorials and absolutely am obsessed with all the Bestiarum minis.

[@theminiforge]

working on another one right now, prob out in a week and a half 😉

[@9daywonda]

Unusual colour there mate.

[@SamZappo]

I think I'm gonna try this for my Deathwatch army...been failing at black armor for a while now.

[@theminiforge]

Hope it comes out to your liking

[@carlosroca1407]

Great result with easy process❤

[@theminiforge]

glad you found it that way

[@Psycho-Babble]

I do think that the result looks cool, 1 method that i use for black metal is basecoat with that same Vallejo Dark Aluminum, then using Blacj Templar contrast paint over the top, and finally edge highlighting with a brighter silver, usually from the Scale 75 Alchemy range

[@SamZappo]

Would you recommend a matte primer like Pro Acryl's black or a Satin like GW?

[@Psycho-Babble]

@@SamZappo i use GWs chaos black and I think that works pretty good.

[@gabrielnguyen5580]

Im gonna have to try this on some etsy models make some knights of morr

[@theminiforge]

hope they come out great

[@AndrzejWlusek]

looking forward ;)

[@theminiforge]

😁

Looks great! Where did you get the miniature (which also looks great in itself)?

[@theminiforge]

its from bestiarum

[@BM-yy8db]

Looks cool! I'm curious, why/when do you pick true metalics over non-metalic metal painting and vice versa? Like, what are some of the possible reasons to go with one over the other?

[@theminiforge]

to be honest how much time i want to spend on the model or in what mood i am. Originally the bret knight i painted a couple weeks ago was inteded to be nmm, but since a lot of people requested a part 2 i decided to keep it begginer friendly exploring colors in tmm

[@ianfleming446]

To add my two cents as well, I want to get good tabletop quality models to play games with. This is a quicker method and I quite like it.

[@theminiforge]

@@ianfleming446 thx! yeah, when it comes to tabletop i doubt id ever paint an army in NMM
