How to Paint - Gold Armour

[@danielatar4686]

This was just the tutorial I needed! Had painted Guilliman Flesh over Retributor Armour for my Black Legion and pondered how do I highlight this and make it look more golden but retain the base colour underneath. Thanks! Brilliant as always.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks for watching mate

[@chonko31]

Again a super tutorial. It is cool to see someone painting true metallic metal. I struggle with my custodes !

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks! I really hope this video helps you

[@AngelGiraldeZ]

Sencillito pero efectivo 👌🏻

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Gracias! Aunque quizás debería empezar a mezclar acrílicos normales en mis metales como haces tú... Tengo que probar un día de estos

[@mutehowl]

Very nice. I started golding my squad leaders arm. Just one though just so I can easily identify them on the battlefield.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

That is a great idea!

[@mutehowl]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures thanks.

[@robertderouin3169]

Excited to try this out on an upcoming Sisters of Battle army.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Nice!

That pin vise paper clip trick tho!

As always a first class video Juan 😊👍👌🖌️

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks!

[@AndrewHilson]

Looks amazing! I want to use a similar method for my Death Guard bronze armour pieces. Which brushes do you use? I have tried the medium artificier brush from GW and I find that it doesn't have enough belly to hold paint...

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

That sounds great! I use Raphael 8404 sizes 1 and 2, those are my favourite brushes and the ones I do most of my work with

[@AndrewHilson]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Ah super cool. Yeah, I've been finicky about my brushes since getting back into the hobby (20 year hiatus! Dug out all my old Dark Elves from my parents basement last week HA. I'm going to have a look at the Raphael's as well as the Artis Opus. I have trouble getting a really nice point and actually prefer a larger brush to a smaller one... You have some brilliant work, man. I've been painting a combination of contrast and traditional with my Death Guard. Used diluted Space Wolves for a blueish look, instead of the traditional bone colour but I love this one that you did recently BTW.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks, I really appreciate that. Regarding brushes I actually have an Artis Opus set and I don't really like it very much. It's ok but they don't have as much belly as Raphaels. I also recently bought a set of Brokentoads MK3 and they are very good but the set includes two brushes that are too small for me.

[@AndrewHilson]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Cheers for that feedback. The Opus' look very nice but there's no real way to see, or feel them here (I'm in Canada BTW). So I really appreciate that feedback; they do look gorgeous FWIW. I had a look at Raphael's as well as the Winsor and Newton's. Didn't pull the trigger because I wanted to give the GW one's a go (they're apparently made in the same factory as W+N). Maybe I'm just too picky...I dunno. I want to give the wet palette a go from RGG (waiting on its arrival this week) and see how I do. Strangely, I've really loved my daughters GW M Base brush lol. Super still and I can sort of get the point that I want.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

@@AndrewHilson I have the RGG palette XL, in fact I have two. They are awesome, 100% recommend. I have also a set of W&N Series 7 and they are good too, better than the GW ones but still not as good as Raphael (that's my opinion BTW)

[@TheSuaveLion_]

Awesome job

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks!

[@1objection]

Exactly what I needed. I (foolishly) decided to paint my first custom redemptor dreadnaught I printed out gold and thought it looked terrible. Hopefully this will help me tone it back a bit so it looks less gaudy and a little more professional.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Happy to help, you can also check the Stormcast video I did

[@narcisobattellocchi5014]

Bravo!!!! Thank you.

[@Dash277]

Good stuff! I was just highlighting my Ironbreakers today from the Greywater Fastness Start Collecting. Perfect for this.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks! Indeed that would be perfect for those

[@galan8115]

Sory to botheryou Juan, when trasspasing metal paints into dropper bottles, what thinner do you use? Perdona por molestarte Juan, cuando pasas las pinturs metalicas a las botellitas cuentagotas, qué thinner usas?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Agua destilada, como las demás. Para las metálicas hay que añadir solo lo justo para fluyan y ni una gota más

[@galan8115]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures De la de plancha no perfumada desmineralizada, corresto?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Yo prefiero destilada pura, pero si, de esa también vale. Básicamente quieres agua lo más pura posible.

[@ajtame]

Do you think you could do this with contrast? like maybe basecoating with silver then covering it with Aggaros Dunes or something? i've not tried it but would love an easier way to do them

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Well, technically this IS done with Contrast as I applied a coat of Guilliman Flesh over the whole thing. That being said I think that would work actually, maybe using Nazdreg Yellow, but Why? If you are going to Basecoat with Leadbelcher or silver why not Basecoat it with Retributor armour? Also Retributor is also in spray form

[@ajtame]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures you make a good point, cleary i like making life difficult for myself :D

Same here, a tutorial by Hidalgo on Silver/Blue steel would be awesome. Love your videos and work :)

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

@@MisterBueno100 thanks! It's already planned and coming soon

[@wapakguy]

I've done my Grey Knights with Leadbelcher base and Space Wolves Grey wash. Pretty nice.

[@adamthaxton3157]

That looks super good. I wonder what would happen if I tried a copper base instead with Agrax Earthshade under the gold/silver highlights.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Mmm, you would probably get a very dark brass / bronze colour. Interesting

[@squidge46]

Been watching a few of your vids great work have a sub.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

VIEWS FOR THE VIEWS GOD SUBS FOR THE SUBS THRONE

[@Mundane05]

These vids are just great, sir. Using citadel products simplifies things a lot for me. Down the line I might consider mixing my own paints and stuff.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks mate

[@jonashenriksson2182]

Looks good! Nice music and good explanation. Only criticism is that it would be nice to see a sample/showcase of this method used on a larger area (like an entire marine).

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

I know! I whish I had a spare marine to do so. I'm in the process to acquire one Primaris Intercessor just to use in this kind of short tutorials. Thanks for the feedback! It's greatly appreciated

[@XCATX25]

Hello. What do you think about using Basilicanum Grey mixed with less medium instead of using Black Templar with a lot of medium?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

It can work definitely. My only concern is that the pigment is more greyish and won't look as good. But that being said it can definitely work perfectly well, I'm just very picky with my colours

[@XCATX25]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Nice, thanks. Our lord and savior Duncan uses basilicanum from the pot like a nuln oil especially on metallics

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

@@XCATX25 nice, I will definitely try that, I prefer my mix as it stains the surfaces less

Very good guide! I really appreciate these sort of quick guides. Maybe I should start to paint some of my Stormcast :) btw. may I ask which brush you use?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks! I really appreciate it. In this video I use my Windsor and Newton Series 7 size 1 and 2. I have a couple of sets of brushes I like and use like the Brokentoad Mk3s or the Raphael 8404 sizes 1 and 0. My favourites are the Raphaels but all of them are good
