"Finished is better than perfect." That cut real close. Looking forward to trying this out on a sword I'm painting myself!

[@Omanion83]

The tutorial we need but did not deserve :P As always I am a big fan of your painting!

[@clawhammr666]

Thanks so much for this, remember seeing the pics on reddit and just YES, this is exactly what i wanted, then tutorial out, awesome

[@matthuckabey007]

Outstanding. What a great effect. The armour brown subtleties really makes it pop! Thank you for sharing.

[@Kaasbaas1234]

Using this on the edge for my fireslayer axes :D

[@TheRunesmythe]

So I don't know how I didn't find your channel before, but after watching this video I immediately subscribed! The final effect is amazing and gives me ideas for my Shadespire/Nightvault Stormcast minis! Looking forward to more awesome tutorials.

[@coolbeensify]

Thank you for making such a detailed tutorial. I like the way you show the proper consistency of the paints and even showed the entire painting process. I'll be giving this a go on my slaves to darkness army for sure!

[@ulgulu7433]

Outstanding job, glad I had this pop up on my recommended list, now subscribed to your channel. Just what I wanted for the blades on my daemon army.

[@Sakurajima616]

Just absolutely CEWL!!!! Thanks for this Tutorial, I really appreciate it. Awesome Paintjob.

[@MrGrey15113]

Amazing and detailed tutorial! I really liked that you moved the pallet so we can see the consistency and how it should look on the pallet. Not something you get to see in a lot of videos. Very helpful!

[@geppo9012]

WOW!!! il miglior edffetto di metallo fuso che abbia mai visto. Complimenti.

[@JudgeShamgar]

"If you are not a brush licker like me..." Automatic like and sub! Awesome job, beautiful effect.

[@13Robzilla]

Great video, the slag floating through the molten really sells the effect and is missing in a lot of molten effects. Excellent and easy to follow.

[@FluffyMuffinofDoom]

Definitely going to be using this for my Lofnir Fyreslayers Army. Amazing work man!

[@lacunalunacy]

Anyone else notice his amazing taste in music? That background song is amazing. Friggin love this band.

Fantastic! Thank you for making this and please make more. Very informative

That was badass, I will be trying to create something like that for my Salamander power swords, best version I have seen yet.

[@AJDeLaRosa]

Not only are you a fantastic artist, but you also have excellent taste in music. 🤘

[@2brushes1cup]

Well thank you good sir.

[@gohan924]

Love the name my friend. Awesome job on the mini. I just got into the hobby and am looking for pointers which is how i came across your video. Ive seen swords like your before but wondered how it was done. Thank you very much for showing us. Keep up the awesome work!

[@Muotek42Dalgar]

The final effect looks amazing. Kinda dynamic even. I need to try it :) . . . . And as per tradition... I appreciate the music :D

[@jshaw5000]

Beautiful Concept - Amazingly Executed!

[@sorebmidven]

Take my sub! Loved the uncut blending process - going to try this effect out myself!

[@philRminiatures]

Most impressive and superb, have to make a try!

[@riptroidstudios4296]

Great tutorial mate! I'll be using this for my Warcry Iron Golem weapons, get that forge feeling going in the battlefield.

[@montlejohnbojangles8937]

Fantastic tutorial! Thanks heaps for filming it. ✌🏼

[@rods2207]

Looks hot! Great paint job and video👍

[@Scrombo2]

Been thinking of making my own 40k Vulkan conversion, techniques like these would look amazing on the primarch of the cuddle-manders

[@TheMiniJunkie]

Fantastic tutorial, the final result looks amazing. Subbed!

[@B3rrymon]

Just found your video, very very interesting and informative man! And I salute you for being a sir of high culture playing sweet djent in the back🤘🤘

[@DMInsomnia]

So amazing! You make it look so easy, but I appreciate how you described it so simply....now to do one of my own!

[@2brushes1cup]

Try it :) of course it requires some practice and getting the dilution levels right, but in the end the technique is not that hard :)

[@DMInsomnia]

@@2brushes1cup I have been painting miniatures for a few years, but doing the molten effect was always so.....tricky for me. I have a miniature on my table now that would be perfect for this.

[@enricopenaglia8289]

Impressive. Inspiring. Beautiful.

[@KOTEC525]

super sick! Gonna try to replicate this!

[@WarMongersWarhammer]

🔥 very useful and clear tutorial 💪🏼Good work! I’ll try with Citadel and Vallejo Paints. Thanks

[@dannyeccles1894]

Really good quality tutorial. Very clear and easy to follow. New subscriber here. 😊

[@nathanhaltom9675]

The really interesting part, to me was how the 2 browns really defined the molten look. For the longest time the very subtle blending of the white, yellows and orange were so similar, but as soon as the Mournfang was added it completely changed the blade and defined the effect. The Vallejo brown just totally finished it though. Amazing.

[@2brushes1cup]

Well, I find that that's the case with most paintjobs. It doesn't look very good until the very end so sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith and just go with it ;)

[@slipperysquid]

Excellent result! I’ll be giving this a go! Cheers.

[@ashfield4313]

Awesome tutorial. I'm going to try to emulate this effect on Nemsis Force Weapons from Grey Knights in WH40k. Though I only have 2 shades of blue and white, hopefully it turns out well.

[@Axiom_Dominus]

I lost it at the channel name. Love it.

[@fjdexx]

Great work.

[@VanquisherSardonic]

this is going to take me alot of practice

[@14DEADSOUL]

Great tutorial

Nicely done sir!

[@2brushes1cup]

Thank you!

[@steelman296]

This popped up on my feed, so glad it did! Got yourself a new subscriber as this paint work is new flawless. Cant wait to see what else you bring to the gaming table. :)

[@2brushes1cup]

Thanks!

[@2brushes1cup]

Ah, and to answer your question - this paint scheme tutorial will be next :) instagram.com/2brushes1cup/p/Bvmloi2HpW2/?igshid=qrb8j4g4rqma

[@Soriichi]

With a bit of ingenuity, you could make the sword look like it had an aura. For a paladin maybe yellow or orange around the blade or maybe even blue or green or purple, black for necrotic aura, and white for a regular magical aura.

[@smopoo]

Stunning.

[@2brushes1cup]

Thanks!

[@WeirdMedicine]

an hour to paint a sword...at first I thought you were crazy, but that's amazing! :-)

[@2brushes1cup]

Is that long? :D not for me, I can spend 60+ hours on a single mini :D

[@WeirdMedicine]

maniac! :-)

[@ZackWilliamsPANCAKE]

Awesome! Geshlon!

Holy shit , you do a very good job man .

Thank you :)

Nice job, but I already knew the final effect due to Your post on facebook :) I will use it for sure.

[@Matt-tb5un]

I always get intimidated when thinking about painting my Eldar Avatar. Saw your fire sword pics on reddit and was hoping you'd do a video. Thanks!! I think I'll take what I learned from you and try it on an Avatar. Finally!

[@2brushes1cup]

Don't be intimidated or scared of making mistakes. It's the only way to learn.

I am planning to start a Salamanders army, I'll be watching your video a couple hundred times for the next few weeks :D

[@theonetruedoge6375]

I kinda want to see you paint an errant questor model. Having trouble doing this in his runesword.

[@2brushes1cup]

Maybe someday, but for now I can't see myself painting any more Stormcasts :D

[@joaojoao6423]

Thats crazy awesome! I just found your channel recently and im in love with your work.Thank you so much for making videos about painting minis! I have a question for you: would i be able to aply your blending technique if working with oil paint, or it would require a different approach, like changing the consistency/viscosity or even an entirely different technique? (if i get it right, for your blending technique to be aplied, the layers/basecoat need to be dry but the previous small lines/dots from the other colors still wet, right? the consistency of paint used to layers/blending is the same?)

[@2brushes1cup]

I have no experience with oil paints besides weathering and washes, but from what I know the approach to blending with oils is much different than with acrylics. I'm not nearly competent enough in the topic to give any meaningful advice though.

Sorry to disappoint but I don't see myself recording any tutorials currently. Maybe later this year. No free time unfortunately 😞

[@MrLeeRony]

holy shit, that a Work. I 'll try on my St Celestine !

[@MrSJPowell]

It is interesting to see how little paint you put on your brush each time, and how little you keep on your palette.

[@2brushes1cup]

You don't need much paint if the dilution levels are high enough. I can control the amount of paint on the brush rather well, but you can always wipe the excess on a paper towel if you're not sure if you don't have too much of it

[@MrSJPowell]

@@2brushes1cup I usually end up doing the latter. Thanks for the video!

[@Kino1428]

If possible, you should add in the description the list of paints you used. It would be useful to make sure I have them all before starting the tutorial :) Thanks! It's a very nice tutorial.

[@2brushes1cup]

This is a good idea, I can provide the list of paints in the video description, but honestly, unless it's a very specific effect that absolutely requires the very same colour that was used in the tutorial - you can just choose any paint that is similar. This effect can be replicated with any combination of white, yellow, orange, red and brown. Moving away from the belief that you absolutely have to have all the same paints as the tutorial to copy the effect is the first step to becoming a better painter :)

[@Kino1428]

@@2brushes1cup You are absolutely right! But sometimes, a beginner feels more confident trying it out with the exact same colors and experimenting later, like myself. I personally do the same thing for cooking. Try the recipe as is, once, then experiment.

[@2brushes1cup]

Yea, don't get me wrong, there's nothing bad in using the same paints as shown in the tutorial. Hell, I do this all the time if I have the same exact paints and even if I don't I sometimes will just buy some paint recommended by the tutorial cause I'm a complete paint addict and buy way more than I actually need. I know that it's helpful for a lot of people, that's why I always have the paint name shown on the screen and adding them into the description is a good idea that I will implement from now on

[@Kino1428]

@@2brushes1cup :D

[@Splatterpunk_OldNewYork]

An alternative is to spit into a cup and use that to moisten the brush. Saliva is most excellent paint additive, and traditional.

[@Critical677]

This sword looks so great! Could you do this with an airbrush too, to paint it quicker? If yes, do you have some recommendations? Thank you!

[@2brushes1cup]

I'm not that skilled with an airbrush to do such small details, but maybe there's someone who can ;)

[@PlanetTrendy]

Hot damn dude, that's absolutely great. I also appreciate you including long start-to-finish shots for a technique heavy tutorial so we can actually see how it's done.

[@steved.4816]

looks great but my painting-skill are to low for this :(

[@jimeronimo]

Incredible effect my friend.. was that titanium white an oil base paint?? Never seen than before of so.. if it was, has to be completely dry first or are you taking advantage of it still being wet to achieve the effect?

[@2brushes1cup]

Thanks! Titanium White is an acrylic paint :)

[@umbertomaliziotti2412]

Wow! Great job, Amazing! Please, tell me the name of the band!

[@2brushes1cup]

Sorry, I deleted my previous comment. The music is by Night Verses not Tesseract. Tesseract is on the other video :D you can always check in the description of the video what music I used

[@schmodizzle4465]

Your content is amazing , but would love it if the camera was closer

[@2brushes1cup]

I would love that too :D unfortunately due to limitations in my gear I was not able to place the camera closer to the mini and still have a comfortable way of painting. I just bought a new lens that should allow me to zoom closer to the model.

[@sparklytazer5678]

Awesome, one question. What is the equilavent paints from citadel? Is there a chart I can check?

[@2brushes1cup]

I don't believe in colour conversion charts. Just use white, yellow, orange, red, brown and dark brown. Any will do, even if it will not be a perfect match to what I used

Thanks! It was my third sword with this paint scheme so I already knew exactly what I was doing. First one took a bit more time :)
