How to Paint: Darth Maul.

We're very, very excited about this one. As fans of Darth Maul we were so excited to be able to paint this fantastic and highly detailed hard plastic miniature from Star Wars Legion by Fantasy Flight Games. Now although this miniature isn't available until a bit later in the year we hope this whets your appetite for his arrival. Enjoy.

That is just crazy how you managed to make that TINY TINY face ooze such character and personality! I suck at faces, myself, and that's something I'd ultimately like to improve at in the future.

Those face skills though, incredible.

It is kinda funny how easy you make it look doing his face when those little tiny littles are a nightmare to paint!!! But I really like how you did the rest of the model!!! Too bad I didn’t see this until way after I painted him!!!

Duncan, I’ve enjoyed watching you since I first discovered “how to paint citadel miniatures”. I love the different types of minis you paint. I always knew your range could be expanded.

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Thanks Cereth 😊

Thanks Jan. The miniature is fantastic and there are plenty of choices with his pose too which is great 😊

Darth maul is bloody awesome and this scheme is so coooolll

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

He is great.

[@rabsrabble5415]

What a nice miniature sculpt. Such an expressive face.

[@RJP0PE1]

for the eyes, I would recommend starting with an orange and then going yellow before the black. He has a deep red around the yellow of his eyes and it would give much more of that presence.

[@Captroop]

Or! You could do what I do for eyes, which is mash white clumsily all over the orbital socket, and then drop pupils on opposite corners of the eyes so he looks like Kawann Short. But you know, either way is good.

[@estebanlopezperdomo6705]

I love your work with Maul, here! Definitely will refer back to this video when I finally get him, myself. Also! You should really watch The Cmone Wars tv series, Maul makes quite an entrance, and the show is fully confirmed canon. A LOT more lines to choose, as well!

That face job is immaculate.

[@davidlagunafernandez6476]

I'm not usually very "sold" on most of the sculpts of the SW miniatures - good enough, I guess, but they just didn't "wow" me. But DADGUM that face sculpt on Maul is amazing!

[@Iceeagle85]

Great video as ever, will you also do a video for Count Dok and Boba Fett? And an Infinity O-12 video would be nice with the upcoming Starmada set, though after you summer holdiay of course.

[@frauskden1006]

an alternative way of painting a lightsaber blade is with metallic paints and then add some spiritstone red over that, looks good and the blade have ''glow'' effect on it as well! ;)

Duncan, I do like your tutorials very much, I find them most helpful for my own painting skill improvement. However you only use GW and Army Painter (from the videos I’ve seen), so why not Vallejo, or 3P, or cote d’arms?. I ask as I am always looking for “better paint”, to help me.

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

There may be 😉

[@bradsimpson8724]

Painting the fine detail on his face would give me fits - you made it look all too easy. Out of curiosity, are there any plans to do anything with airbrushing on your channel, or are you sticking solely with brushes?

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Hi Brad. For now we have no plans. We want our tutorials to be accessible for everyone and unfortunately not everyone has access to an airbrush because of cost and even the step learning curve. Saying that, we may have a look at it in the future should enough people want to see it. 😊

[@chadnine3432]

Whenever Duncan says "layer brush" I hear "air brush".

[@yatam]

I looked up from my model to see if it was a "small air brush" lol

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Mmmmm...we may just add that to our list....

[@stephenkerr9702]

Hi Duncan, love the videos. Could you maybe give some tips / do a video on how to recover painting eyes when it goes wrong? I have been painting minis for a while, eyes are the one thing i hate, i have tried multiple techniques and have about an 85% success rate with eyes. When they go wrong, they go really wrong and no matter how thin the paint or what technique the correction ends up blocking out all and any detail; usually resulting in striping the mini to prevent an alien frog look. This isn't to much of a problem with a mini in armor with just an exposed head where i can start on the face and if the eyes go wrong start again. It is a pain painting any sort of mini with a lot of flesh and have spent time working on the rest of the miniature.

[@The_gentleman_gamer]

I love the effect of the red glow from the lightsaber on the robes it's subtle but a nice touch I'm thinking of trying something similar with my grey knights and their weapons out of interest as I'm on a budget could I achieve a similar effect with a green wash thinned down with medium? (I say green as I want to paint the blades of the weapons in green rather than blue)

[@fatboy158]

For the grey knights power weapons, I'm pretty sure the standard method is to layer heavily thinned down grayish blue paints to make a gradient, so I'm pretty sure you could do the same with greenish colors.

[@fatboy158]

I don't know if you could get the same effects with shades/washes though.

[@humongousego3026]

I’d love to know where you got that tile Palette, I haven’t been able to find one I like.

[@mouseketeery]

I think it's just a normal ceramic tile such as you use for tiling the kitchen or bathroom. DIY store is your best bet.
