Nice explanations of your process and a very cool effect. Would you consider doing a quick tutorial on the lightning effect?

[@KujoPainting]

Yep, I'll be doing lots of tutorials on this, lightning will be one of them.

The paints for this armor will be my first foray into Scalecolor. I'm hoping I've watched your vids enough to at least have an educated guess on how to work with them.

[@chrisshaw451]

Very nice technique, I used to go for the best quality that I could achieve, now in later years with fading eyes I go for a tabletop quality.

[@Xlaminator]

Very impressive! Thanks for sharing.

[@KujoPainting]

Thanks, glad you liked it.

[@uglyduckling81]

Im tempted to try this technique as I have a Guilliman waiting for paint. Thinking about a test marine but instead of doing those initial layers of blending for the base colours, just going straight in with the airbrush to get a good enough base layer. Thoughts?

[@KujoPainting]

Yep go for it, using an airbrush will speed things up for sure.

[@daralinn]

Any special things to keep in mind for the round shapes such as the shoulder pads? Would you continue the striped effect there as well?

[@KujoPainting]

Hi Marti, I use stippling (applying little dots) on the rounded highlights to create the metallic effect.

[@Marlerc11]

Yes this was my question too

[@carstr9547]

Great video, where did you pick up this technique? I've seen a couple of minis painted in this way but can't think of a single video where someone show how it's done. This video right here really proves why your channel is one of the top best for learning how to paint minis. Cheers!

[@KujoPainting]

Hi thanks for that. I didn't really learn it from anyone in particular, I guess to quote Paul Atreides 'it seemed the proper way' :) . I've just been messing about with texturing techniques for a while and trying out different ways to approach using them to get various effects. So I guess this is just the culmination of a lot of trial and error. Cheers!

[@dawidkowalewicz5845]

Can you explain why aren't you using the smaller paintbrush for such details?

[@KujoPainting]

Sure, it really comes down to the tip of the brush. If the brush is good with a sharp tip, there's not a huge difference between a 1 and a 00. Paint tends to dry faster on a smaller brush so using a 1 throughout lets me have workable paint on the brush for longer. I usually use a 1 for pretty much everything, I might go up to a 5 or a 6 for larger areas but it's very rare I'll go for smaller than a 1. Hope that helps.

[@ygyeung2056]

thk for the great and clear step by step tutorial.

[@KujoPainting]

No problem at all, you're welcome.

[@sagejn1471]

Really usefull! Getting the Konrad Curze model and want to make it look special, thanks for showing me this amazing technique in such good detail! Are there any gw paint equivalents to the ones used here? Would really appreciate it 👍

[@KujoPainting]

I have that one too, been meaning to paint it up! I can't think of any equivalents off the top of my head but they have a lot of blues so I'd imagine they'd have a few, I'll have a look and see.

[@Theplasticbench]

Top Video ,Mate.Will try this on my next figure(the stripe technique)👍

[@KujoPainting]

Awesome, best of luck, hope it goes well. :)

[@13Robzilla]

Another great video, thank you. The only way I can actually tell I am getting better is through your videos. I used to think "Oh yeah just be super talented and never make a mistake and you still won't be able to do what Kujo does." (Well I can do it but yours awesome and mine is hawt garbage.) Now I can actually see how you develop the process all the way to planning the method before even starting (like applying mid-tone and then shade or in this case shadow color as the base and work up.) Thank you for all you do for painters and taking the time to teach us. Greatly appreciated.

[@KujoPainting]

No problem Rob, glad you're getting something out of it. Try to compare your paintjobs now to one's you've done in the past to gauge your improvement. Sometimes we can get blind to our own progress because we're always focused on whatever we're working on right now. Looking back at your earlier work will show you have far you've come. Cheers. :)

[@13Robzilla]

@@KujoPainting Great advice, thank you.

[@andrewjohnson5606]

Why do use a red brownish color on shading. Does it help to geta deeper color? Why didnt u use simply a darkest blue?

Actually I made a video on the reasons behind that. Check it out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmjQqpWwZdplgck

What are Scale 75 paints actually like to work with ? what would you use them for (any restrictions ?) and what additives if any would you add to them to pant infantry / a vehicle ? Just realised today they got their HQ in the suburbs of my city !

[@minorharmonicscale]

I'm by no means in kujos level if painting, but I have used Vallejo, gw, p3 and now scale75. -Compared to the others, you need to add mix-balls in the bottles, since they need a really good shake with their gel medium -They need to be thinned down a bit more with water(but almost every brand need some water). -Very High pigment density even when thinned down. -they dry very Matt, can be strange at first :p Other than that they are just colours :)

[@davedogge2280]

@@minorharmonicscale thanks, I've got those 'illuminous Scale 75 FX' colour set but still have not used them I always put mixing balls into bottles and shake with hand and one of those ladies' varnish bottle shakers which are pretty good really.

[@YeahBrah_kicked_my_dog]

Great vid, really helps explain how to glaze those creamy blends nicely. Quick question though, how long would you say the entire model took you all up?

[@KujoPainting]

Thanks! I'm not sure, it's hard to gauge because filming the painting adds a lot of extra time on top, so your guess is as good as mine.

This was a very helpful video also where did you get the backpack for the model from

[@KujoPainting]

Oh it's from a forge world model, I forget which one. I didn't build it so I'm not sure.

[@MidknightMarauder]

Hey man, the Night Lords got a recent buff and I've been wanting to at least get a couple of them to model. I gotta ask, what parts or models did you use to make this guy? I want a build a similar looking HQ and finding longhair male heads is a bit of a pain. Also that sword and the jetpack wing combo looks sick.

[@KujoPainting]

Thanks! It was already built when I got it, but I did make some alterations. The head was actually a scratch sculpt, my client made the face and hair from green stuff, then I altered it a bit to make the hairlonger and flow down onto the armour. I just green stuffed over the top and used a sculpting tool to cut in the strands. I think he got the wings from some Vampire model and the backpack is from forgeworld, sorry I'm not sure what model, I'll try and find out for you.

[@revanjg]

Subd... nice work. How are you liking the scale 75 range?

[@KujoPainting]

Thanks! Yeah I really like them, they have some issues that give them a bit of a learning curve, and I wouldn't recommend them for beginners, but if you're willing to persevere with them and you have some experience with other paint lines it's worth putting the time in with them because you can get some really nice results.

[@revanjg]

I have several of their earth tones and some of their extreme game color... I really like how they look through an air brush and how matte some of the colors are... just amazing effects.

[@stefan_HEX]

This is not my style of painting, but i love to watch it. but for blending things i prefer oil paints.

[@KujoPainting]

Thanks, I have a bunch of oil paints but I've never tried to use them on a miniature, isn't the extended drying time going to be a big issue?

[@stefan_HEX]

@@KujoPainting drying time can be a problem if the oil paint have to much linseed oil. But this can be reduced buy placing the oil on cardboard to suck it out from the paint. I use abteilung502 that is made for miniature painting. But still it will dry slowly, and that's why i use it. ;) I can blend my shades for a day or two and then I lock them in painting with a varnish after 24h and move on with acrylics on top if needed. Maybe check out ´Zatcaskagoon Miniatures´ here at youtube he uses oil in almost all videos painting warhammer 40k stuff. It is very different style of painting to say the least. But to me it´s great fun using oils. I find it faster then layering and easier than wet-blending acrylics. Biggest issue is that oil look very glossy while painting. And you have to wait a long time to see your results matte.

[@Therealsuperbeard]

Creativity aside: really good explanations. Clear and concise, no distractions. I appreciate your subtle whimsy and sense of humor. Your brush control is phenomenal. What size brush are you using? (Apologies if I missed it in the video.)

[@KujoPainting]

Thanks coop, it's a size 1. Pretty much everything I do is with a 1 unless I'm painting something bigger then I'll go up to about a 5, at least for the earlier stages.
