How to Paint Clan Jade Falcon Elementals | Battletech Iota Galaxy Tutorial

[@uialion1740]

Love your work. I haven't build or painted models or miniatures in a very long time and watching your content is making me want to pick these up. I love the Battletech universe as it stands, so re-igniting an old hobby is seeming like a very promising thing to do.

[@CamoSpecsOnline]

It’s great to hear that, thanks for sharing.

[@koreanbill]

Very cool, I used similar methods (only with gray tones and red accents) for my CSJ elementals.

[@CamoSpecsOnline]

Right on, I need to do some CSJ stuff.

[@williamteter9474]

Always useful! I would love to see how you do Clan Wolf Beta Galaxy Elementals and Mechs.

[@CamoSpecsOnline]

Thanks for the idea!

[@john88benson]

Great tutorial! I'll be adapting the techniques for Wolf Beta Galaxy.

[@williamteter9474]

What color are you using for them? I'm doing Army Painter Banshee Brown, Light tone wash, and Basilicum Grey with a Ash Grey light dry brush.

[@john88benson]

@@williamteter9474 For the upper works I ended up using Citadel Wraith Bone spray primer and a Skeleton Horde Contrast as the wash, I then used Vallejo RAL1001 Elfenbein to liberally drybrush all the raised surfaces. For the legs I used Vallejo RAL7021 Dunklegrau with a light grey drybrush just to pick out the highlights. The Vallejo paints are from their Panzer 1940-1945 colors, I think it makes for a nice desert tan and dark grey scheme. I am still working my way around the trim, I wasn't happy with the initial test mini so I am thinking of keeping it pretty minimal going forward.

I love it. Any plans on doing some Clan Ghost Bear in the future?

[@CamoSpecsOnline]

It's on the short list. Probably Beta or Delta.

[@gameprose4293]

@@CamoSpecsOnline I look forward to it.

So nice! Elementals are great. Great tutorial.

[@CamoSpecsOnline]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@bryy2053]

Great work! I used to love Exo Squad as a kid so elementals were fantastic for me

[@CamoSpecsOnline]

Same here!

[@patriotjedi530]

FANTASTIC! Score another win for the Badass B1B!

[@CamoSpecsOnline]

Well thanks for that, glad you like it.

[@Rocketsong]

These look great. I would have painted the metallic a base coat of black or gunmetal and then drybrushed the metallic. But given the tiny size, this will still allow the metallic gun barrels to "pop" more. I really do love Citadel washes. Reaper or Valejo paints, but nothing comes close to Citadel's washes.

[@justinskol597]

Awesome video! I like the technique you use. Can you do a clan ghost bear for mechs and armor?

[@CamoSpecsOnline]

It's planned to be done but will definitely be after the New Year.

[@fredgilbert2032]

Great job these look fantastic! Too much work for me for these being as small as they are. I primed, based, added oily steel to the main gun barrel, washed, and dry brushed. They will never look as good as these, but they look good on the table

[@CamoSpecsOnline]

Thanks and not every mini needs to be a top level piece. I have a lot of things I paint quickly too. It's always a good feeling to use painted minis, regardless of their "quality" after painting.

[@johntaylor8095]

Very helpful video, thank you!

[@CamoSpecsOnline]

You're welcome!

[@dubuyajay9964]

Tbh, I want to do a Jade Falcon force for my Clan Box and extras, but I still don't know which Galaxy I want to paint as. :-/

[@CamoSpecsOnline]

Sometimes those are the most difficult decisions!

[@IanDresarie]

I haven't even decided on a Clan yet! So many choices!

[@dubuyajay9964]

@@IanDresarie Going to guess you are relatively new, quiaff?

[@KillerOrca]

Oh shit was that Tex in the opening? Can I get a Tex Bitchin' Betty mod plx?

[@SilentRavenCroaker]

Can I make a request for Zeta Galaxy paint job, don't care what type of unit. I'm a big Jade Falcon fan.

[@CamoSpecsOnline]

You can absolutely request it, but it's not likely that it will be done. I have to spread the faction appreciation out and there's no shortage of those already. Hopefully you'll see one or two more CSO artists contribute to video content in 2021.

[@SilentRavenCroaker]

@@CamoSpecsOnline Its all good, I understand completely. Thank you for getting back to me quickly. I watch all your videos. When are you guys going to get on the WNRP Podcast?

[@kaibechtloff5674]

thx guys

[@basecoat1966]

What do you use for a palette?

[@CamoSpecsOnline]

It's Palette Paper I cut into quarter sheets. I use the white when not filming and the grey helps prevent wash out on cameral. www.amazon.com/Strathmore-365-9-Palette-Bound-Sheets/dp/B00CPD0O1U/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=palette%2Bpaper&qid=1607541418&sr=8-4&th=1
