Metallic Black Armour - Iron Hands Revisited [How I Paint Things]

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Okay, now I'm thrilled by KZbin. Someone had asked why a comment was removed which I don't recall having touched, and now there's *another* two comments which I know are there that I can't see from my account - and I've got no filters up for that sort of thing. Great website, very functional!

Painting space marines can feel like "comfort food" for mini painters, instead of a "guilty pleasure"

[@russellmartin3951]

Amazing and unique project! Very nice!

[@Paranormal-Stupidity]

My favourite chapter. I really like the way you paint yours. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@evileyeball]

BTW This is perfect timing on this, I've been thinking about doing Black metal armour Necrons coming up soon here and so this lets me know I should proceed.

[@Matt-md5yt]

awesome glad you did some Iron hands my friend

[@arandomlostsoul753]

I quite like this paint job. Iron Hands are one of the cooler Space Marine Chapters, in my book. I just can't help but admire the menace and elegance of such a dark colour scheme, and you render it very effectively in this video.

[@mcw280]

Even without highlights it look good and battle ready

[@johnkelley9877]

Great work Troy! I like the coloring of the skin and it does look like Darth Vader. Thanks for sharing this.

[@Rasmus.Elnegaard]

I always enjoy your videos, but this one was somehow particularly awesome! Great work 👌

[@alessiodecarolis]

Nice job, this kind of scheme could be used on a lot of other figures, on Etsy there are a lot of anime inspired Power Armours that would be perfect with these metallic paints . I didn't knew about this black metal, probabilly it will end on my next shopping list.👍

[@j.marien_minis]

Thanks for introducing me to the model air metallics, they are so much better than any others I've used before! After seeing this video, I immediately ordered some and they are absolutely great.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Great to hear! I'm always really glad when folks find something new that works for them.

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Troy . 🐺Loupis Canis .

[@HacksawsHobbyBunker]

Excellent as always. Cheers!

[@TheEr910]

looks good

[@rjlarose5271]

Model Air Metallic Black is one of my favorites. Ive used it on my Grey Knights for a more grim look.

[@keithamos2287]

finally ime not the only one with [primaris] marines in metalic black with blue plasmas i used old marine juice as had buckets of it made before change ,my 1st born are done to your original scheme.

[@nalta8744]

Love the paintjob. Please do one as a Death company marine aswell :D

[@Jim-yk9if]

"Unwell Flesh" needs to be a paint name. 😛

[@nickdavis5420]

Might use this for rifts deadboys

[@bewildered5983]

Is AP Weapon Bronze similar to GW Brass Scorpion in hue? Looking to expand into AP Fanatic paints and looking for similar colors to Brass Scorpion, Mephestion Red, and Khorne Red in the range.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

I don't have Brass Scorpion myself, but it looks fairly close. Brass Scorpion might be just a fraction darker based on colour swatches.

[@evileyeball]

You want his skin to look like 7 of 9 when she first came onboard and was still fully Borg

[@dantejrl]

great job, it's really "iron hands" 👍. Otherwise, i really like your base. is it your recipe with stirlandmud + mournfang brown and tyrant skull drybrush?

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Close! Golgfag Brown rather than Mournfang. Base recipes are always in the description, too. ;D

[@dantejrl]

​@@SonicSledgehammerStudio my bad, i rarely read descriptions but i follow you for long time 😋

[@aspect0]

Is the wash mix you do here a somewhat similar concept to your marine juice? I noticed you used a speedpaint medium instead of lahmiam

[@1garryrippon]

GIVE US A CLOSE UP,YOU MUPPET❤

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

That's the image at the end! 😜

[@SafetyBriefer]

Could we just shade with Nuln Oil?

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Sure, it'll just look different. The recent Nuln Oil reformulation isn't as strong as it used to be, so I prefer Dark Tone for pretty much everything, but it's a matter of preference than what will or won't work.

[@SafetyBriefer]

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio Maybe Black Templar contrast with a lot of medium...

[@winewithhedda]

Why was my partner's comment removed? Poor form old bean. ☹️

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

I don't know who that would have been. There's usually a small handful of spam comments in the first half hour or so of a video going up that I trim, it's possible I nuked an innocent comment.
