My Gold NMM recipe - painting BEAUTIFUL gold on Warhammer & D&D miniatures

👑👑 I'm in the midst of releasing my dream miniature brush as well as some wonderfully sculpted miniature busts. It's something I'm really proud of and been working on for the better part of the last year. Late pledges from the Kickstarter are up and You can check it out here: www.squidmar.c... 👑👑
Another video tutorial voted by my Patreons! This time I will teach you how to paint non metallic metal, or more specifically how Squidmar paints NMM on his warhammer & dnd & scale models & busts. In this specific video paint tutorial we're using a Stormcast Eternal miniature from Age of Sigmar (Warhammer Underworlds), because these are easy to get hold of, have shapes that are easy to understand and references for inspiration and where to place highlights come in plenty!

Coat d'Arms Barbarian Leather is Citadel Snakebite Leather that's still being produced. I don't mean it's the same color - it is literally the same paint. When GW dropped their contract with HMG, HMG carried on producing the paint line under the name Coat d'Arms. Pretty much the whole range is still available as well as some additions.

That yellow glaze. That was the ticket. I was having a hard time figuring out the colors, and then your hint about the yellow glaze put it together for me. Thanks a lot! Also the contrast in the browns drove the point home.

[@bigolbearthejammydodger6527]

hush little baby.. good little baby... please go to sleep... PLEASE.. Im quite a bit older than most of you folks I think, Ive been painting minis for about 30 years. I love seeing how these new techniques are evolving - wet pallets, non metallic metals, painting light sources and glows its all really very interesting and im going to have to dig out my paints again just as soon as I can find the time. ;) I actually painted for GW (about 20 years ago) - store display models and some of my stuff went into the magazines/books. Its truly interesting to me to see the evolution of techniques, I look back at some of my better models and think how much better the good painters of today are doing with all these new techniques and innovation! So from an old dog to you young pups: GOOD SHOW!

Been struggling with nmm but I think this has helped alot, shall try tomorrow!!!!

[@Jk-vr1hu]

Hi Mr. Squidmar - if you are looking for the old citadel paints, don't invest to much time into mixing colours for "close to" results. The company "coat d'arms" still produces exactly the old citadel paints. I'm buying the crappy old flesh wash over there cause I want to match some minis with my old models... Hope this helps. Greets from Berlin Love your channel - it's a huge inspiration - for example the painting competion - we copied it and had so much fun!

great info. the kids crying in the background as you are trying to work really clinches this video for me. stay strong!

[@Komomo69]

One thing that seems very important when painting NMM is dramatic transitions between shadow and light. I can't seem to get it right and no one really adress it in tutorials. It feels more natural to make smooth transitions, but it seems that is not always the way to go when making NMM. Anyway, awesome video as usual!

[@olli2374]

He Emil. Fantastic art work and next-level miniature-painting-skills ... And very well explained. I love your channel and the stuff you are doin. I hope that I can paint one day as good as you can (hopefully). Big up and nicegreetings to Sweden.

This will be a great resource for me on a miniature I am currently working on. I decided I wasn't going to use any metallics on it and the only NNM I really have any experience with is on power weapons. So the armor has been kinda tough.

Spending this weekend cleaning out my parents attic. Just found an un opened bottle of citadel snake bite leather from an old 40k starter paint set. It is from the time when they had the black screw lids that was impossible to open. Probably about 20 years old... also found som plastic spacemarines still in there spruces stamped 1993!

Amazing as always Emil but oh man. More paints I haven't bought yet. I might just try it with a few of the browns and Evil Sunz Yellow I still have for now. Otherwise I'm buying $50 worth of paints every week. I also bought a Raphael brush but I'm too afraid to use it! Haha! It's a thing of beauty though.

We are using the sun yellow from ValllllllYAYho. This is a great guide. I was thinking I should try NNM on a sword first to get the hang of it. But I might grab a Stormcast and give this a go!

That was awesome, really effective technique

Coat D'Arms were the company that originally made the paints for Games Workshop they still sell paints with similar names. I think Barbarian Leather might be a renamed Snakebite Leather.

Hello Squid, could you do a short on a darker grim kinda NMM? Something for like a Black Legion opposed to Space Marine trim kinda thing

[@CATFEESH666]

Not sure if the crying in the background was added or nature but it seemed fitting given the subject matter :)

[@sebs2157]

I have old snakebite and have been trying to get NMM gold down for a while. I have very limited selection of paints. Do you think Snakebite leather + Bleached bone would work for highlights? And for shading, scorched brown? (old gw paint names, dont know the new ones lol)

[@deanamusprime]

That’s a really cool and fun (fairly straightforward looking) process. Thanks for that! Do you think it could translate into doing an “oil” or petrol look? All the reflected colours like an oli slick on tarmac. Just changing the recipe colours but keeping the same values? Anyway, this one was fun to watch,

[@deanamusprime]

So thanks

[@furdefurciotv3228]

Hey, sorry if this question sounds like i'm a noob on this (well i actually am), in case you want to do green reflections (like, idk, some spectral light or magic or something), it will be correct to do the "glaze part" in green or would be better to start the nmm with some kind of green pigmentation? Thanks in advance

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

I'm not sure exactly how green you want it to be?

You can get the original snakebite leather from a company called Coat d'arms, they call it "Barbarian Leather." It's literally the exact same paint. GW ended their contract with the original paint maker but the paint maker still had a surplus of paints leftover that they had made for GW so they sold them to other companies including Coat d'arms. The bottles are even the same as the 90's GW bottles. www.blackhat.co.uk/product-category/coat-darms-paints/coat-darms-paints-fantasy-range/

I love this technique. But I dont use yellow a lot. I wanna try a bluish green colour.

[@davelee6002]

Just a slightly theoretical question: I understand the importance of black lines for distinguishing different parts, but wouldn't a gold object right next to another gold object have a fairly medium value and somewhat saturated boarder between them, as they reflect each other's reflected light?

[@HeyBenRichards]

Try InStar Paints. From the U.K. IV-31 - Snakebite Leather 3rd-5th Editon

[@PandorasFolly]

If like me you lack the ability to even attempt to do NMM stuff look at Stuart Semple's paint line. The metallic line, glo line, iridescent, and coloriest color line are all amazing. He is most famous for his blackest black and its 2.0 and 3.0 versions, and while those are great for matte undercoat and specialist work his other paints are God tier. Though they need to be thinned a bit more than usual because they are not strictly model paints. Also sells powder versions for your mixing pleasure. His LIT line of glow paints are so good you can use them on plasma guns and other "glowy" bitz and expect them to actually display some glow in room normal light after you charge them. Also there is a magnetically alignable nail polish I just saw that is incredible. Colored polish with magnetic filing that are a different color than the polish. Then you orient them by passing a magnet over it giving it a tiger's eye look.
