Scions of the Flame: how to paint LAVA, FIRE & OSL

[@kabojjin]

Hearing Marco say "Burnt Umber" is what gets me through the week.

[@clintseppowitz5642]

I laughed so loud my wife came in asking what is wrong with me :-D

[@JackieChan1199]

That HELLOOO GUYS never fails to put a smile on my face! Thanks for the awesome video Marco

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

😍😁😍😘

[@Nortic111]

This is a great tutorial for the bases alone, never mind the superb minis on top of them!

[@karlmerritt6504]

My 10yr old is now going round saying “Ello Guys! Iss Maarrrco” 😂😂😊😊

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

😂😂😂

[@BarokaiRein]

The trick you showed with bases alone was enough to blow my mind. Holy shit I had no idea it was that easy to paint lava bases.

[@jehrad0]

I have been mini painting and watching painting videos for about 6 years. This is easily one of my favorite videos. I learned so much more in this short video that I haven’t learned from so many other people. Thank you so much and I look forward to watching your whole catalogue and future videos.

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

😁😍😁 Thanks a million man! Super appreciated!

[@gaijin8014]

This guy is so full of energy and happy....it made this vid easy to watch

[@Zammoron]

For the first time ever, I didn't watch your, Marko's, new video immediately, and I have been trying to think of why that was. It came down to this, some kind of... skill-depression/master fatigue. I have painted here and there for many years, but not to a level I think is good, which is of course my problem, and not something I blame others for. But every time I see your work, Marko, I am completely blown away. Your skill, the way you master the different aspects of even individual paint manufacturers to get the results you want, is just mind boggling. And not only that, the way you explain things, have given me more insight into this hobby than I’ve ever had before. You and Vince Venturella are, for me, the true masters of miniature painting on KZbin, and the all-mighty algorithms of KZbin should be pushing your videos to the front page, every day! So, what’s wrong? To be honest, you are too good. I know you too make mistakes, and I know that you have done this professionally for a long time, and I know that I am not a professional, and that shouldn’t be what I am for, and still… Dammit man, you are so freaking good! I absolutely love your art style and your videos, and I will keep watching them and keep promoting them to others. But, if I could make a humble request, it would be this, Is it possible for you to make a short video that shows how you got to this stage? Like… old miniatures or paintings or something. Because I know, logically, there was a learning curve for you too, but emotionally, I don’t see it, and my brain uses this against me, and against me continuing with this amazing hobby. Love your work man. Many long-distance manly hugs from Sweden!

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

Thanks a million man! Really, from the heart 😊 I understand the feeling and I can totally relate because sometimes I feel the same seeing the production of other great painters 😅 there's always someone better! It could be an interesting topic to explore in video... In the meantime the short answer is: a ton of constant practice, study and good teachers. I know it's cheesy and not a groundbreaking revelation 😅 but I really believe this is the only way to become good at anything

[@Zammoron]

@@MarcoFrisoniNJM haha, I know man, practice makes perfect! :D Thanksbfor your reply, sometimes it's nice to know that even badass people have bad days. My favorite is probably from Darwin, he has a passage in his journal that reads, "But I am very poorly today and very stupid and hate everybody and everything" :D I'll be practicing again tomorrow :) Have an awesome weekend!

[@kaeskawood9020]

I think the best part of this, for me, is the basing, as I can modify that to get some... *other* results. Use a super bright lime green or pastel blue and suddenly it's not lava, it's magic. Thanks, Marco!

[@bunkbess20]

Legend. Learn something everytime I watch your videos.

[@cabe_bedlam]

The mid-layer of PVA on the bases before the crackle paint, genius!

[@youtubevanced4900]

Did he let the PVA fully dry?

[@matthieuverrette6209]

Yeah! You are right Mr Frisoni... it's always good to have visual art references before starting a project. You are my reference with these awesome pics in the last minute! Thanks! Best video tutorials out there!

[@mostxtremenoob6384]

O no he made it again!!!! top of the line content, every new video brings something new to the youtube painting tutorials.

[@leeperry7068]

This is, without doubt, one of the most impressive painting videos I've ever seen... and I watch pretty much all of you well known KZbin mini painters. 3 hours... Jesus on toast. Incredible.

[@neil2242]

I was looking for a guide for flames rising from a charred/burnt object - youtube read my mind and recommended this vid. Thanks for sharing this. I am, however, not confident I can complete even a single figure in just 3 hours.

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

Perfect timing 😁! Don't worry about the time, that's just a sub product of experience and planning; focus on quality, all the rest will come by itself 😉

[@GingerGiant247]

No kidding, this is how I've always thought lava bases should be made, and finally I can point to a video to say, "LIKE THIS!"

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

😍😁😍

[@MrStatistx]

I mean they look good, but I often see them made like this. The paintjob on the minis though, THAT is the real star of this video imo

[@brodius257]

I hadn't seen them done this way before either and absolutely LOVED watching them take shape!

[@LeathArNak]

I've probably watched this video two dozen times. I find something new and interesting every time. Also I love hearing Marco say "the Scions of the Flame."

[@shawnp601]

Marco, my friend, I’m a budding mini painter and I’m subscribed to many different mini painters but I have to say that no one understands painting more than you....a true ARTIST! Thank you so much for your content and keep up the awesome work; you inspire me to push well past my comfort zone and aspire to be my best.

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

Thank you soooo much man!!!

[@tylerhillin5745]

The amount of information and all around painting tips I get from this guy is crazy!!! Thanks so much Marco!!!

[@JQAsCrustyNightSock]

3 hours? Humans have left the chat. We are not worthy of a painting god.

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

😂😂😂

[@JQAsCrustyNightSock]

@Corn Pop lol thanks. I'm mostly just messing with Marco.

[@finnon7460]

You've shown so many genius techniques here! You're a great instructor, and I appreciate your explanations. Those are some amazing models. Thanks for sharing!

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

Thanks a million man!!!

[@oscarlaborda6613]

Awesome, I fall in love with your paint job. Best video painting that I saw. Thank you!

[@nikotillmann9764]

3 hours? Marco, you're killing me... The minis look great and might inspire my own paintjob, but damn, I'm probably looking at 10-15 hours ;(

[@draadhaai]

Very cool! Thanks again for all the useful information. Got to clean and use my airbrush again. Inks are fantastic!

[@csl2885]

Your work is very impressive. This will help with my project I'm working on now. Thank you for posting this.

[@clintseppowitz5642]

In three hours! Jeezuz! And that italian flavoured english is just awesome! Ti saluto, Marco! Forza NJM!

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

😁😁😁😘

[@rossknowles5608]

love the enthusiasm. cheers for the video Marco

[@robinwesterlund5563]

One of the best videos you have done (filming and editing) and... yeah those minis was... amazing as well! Keep up the great job Marco and stay healthy!

[@komsomoletz828]

My mind is blown. I have been trying to get better by AVOIDING relying on box art - hoping trial and error would provide better teaching. The advice at the end of this video (to learn from others' years of experience) has probably saved me years of struggle. Thank you!!

[@ctpopham]

-a TRUE INSPIRATION. tHANKS FOR THE VIDEOS KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.

[@StormcastMarine]

My girlfriend is sick of me saying "hello guys!" like Marco says it. I love these videos. Edit: that 3:45-3:54 is magic like I've never seen before

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

[@HipposHobbyHours]

You sir, are incredible, this is some pure miniature gold!

[@josephpalasz5226]

Absolutely incredible bases holy crap

[@lorenzococchiola2903]

The basing thingy is genius.

[@GarethNewtonWilliams]

My miniature projects linger on my desk for months, years in some cases, and don't look this good when they're done. :D

[@Evo1veTT]

I've got the Warcry: Catacombs boxset waiting for painting and I was looking forward to painting the Scions of the Flame the least out of everything. But thanks to this Video I'm now reallly up for them! Thanks Marco!

[@lordlizard2195]

never buyed product this fast... those bases are just pure perfection i hope mine will come out the as close as posible

[@pauls3585]

Beautiful looking models, Marco, and a great lighting effect.

[@minimishapsgames894]

The models, the paint, the video. Everything is astounding as always, thanks for the vid!

[@Nomad6763]

You have such a wealth of artistic knowledge Marco, it really elevates the art form! Keep doing what you're doing and I'll be watching.

[@tommywagner3154]

Marco, these look fantastic! I learned a ton watching you work here! Thank you very much :)

[@TJM108]

I'd love to see a Warcry tourney at your place! All your incredible warbands, and that magnetic table - would be such a feast for the eyes!!

[@davidfortin6437]

Amazing content Marco, thank you.

[@tassosmoukas5247]

Sick paintjob Marco!!!! This video made me a proud Patron!

Stunning … wish I could paint like that… and had that accent!

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

Hahaha you don't want that curse 😂😅😂

[@studiofoureightnine]

Learned a ton on this one, thanks Marco.

[@sienasiena7849]

Speed painting King 🎨👏👏👏You did it So fast and easy.

[@voxkine9385]

Absolutely amazing! Can’t say I’m even close to being able to do this scheme justice yet, but I will probably be stealing the bending the pin under the base trick!

[@jean-sebastienmarty2425]

And again, a really heart-warming video.

[@jakessofa8187]

Spectacular as always Marco! Scions of the Flame - great metal band name love the flame/OSL effect, fast yet very realistic!

[@euansmith3699]

That's a such a high energy opening :D I almost spilt my mug of tea. The lapsed time shot of the lava cracking was really cool.

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

😂 too much coffee that morning 😂

[@spcwolf]

thank you so much for sharing this!!! this is a really beautiful video!

[@HasteHobbies]

Wonderful painting style.

[@benbrotherwood9128]

2 hours ago watching your Iron Golems speedpaint - I have not seen anyone tackle the new Scions yet... 2 hours later - it's one of them days, I better go and get some lottery tickets!

Beautifully done my friend. I now want this kit. Wish they were better on the table in age of sigmar!

[@KappaJP]

Absolutly AMAZING! Nice Job! i love that!

[@torymiddlebrooks]

This is incredible and seems so easy. Bravo

[@torymiddlebrooks]

I'm also stealing that pin to base technique. It's so simple and clever and will help my heavy metal models firm to the bases.

[@sebastiendesautels8567]

This paintjob looks amazing! God job and thank you :)

[@Dmitry_Solid]

Amazing job. The fire is real. A great gang!!!

[@nofuxgivens2797]

Ok so Marco is the reason why I am buying the new starter set. I was undecided and once again his tutorial got me to buy a new game...first was Necromunda with Corpse Grinders

[@leonosborne3461]

Really impressive. Just found your videos recently, they are great. I have a lot to learn. Thanks :)

[@NEOCustomMiniaturesVlogTV]

Ahhhhh questa la provo! Adesso che ho l’Aerografo ci do dentro!!!! Grazie dell’ottimo video Marco!!!

Very helpful, thank you!

[@phillippowell7905]

Holy cow. Another amazing video but being honest.....I both love you and secretly hate you a little for doing that in three hours. Bloody hell!

[@MentoliptusBanko]

I never used a hairdryer for the crackle paint...maybe that's why I never got bigger cracks. Anyways, awesome paintjob and super useful tips. Grazie Marco!

[@alino61]

magnifico! so good, love watching you paint ..thnx :)

[@logcabingaming3710]

Hellllo guys!! Another amazing tutorial Marco! 3 hours? 3 HOURS? THREEEEEE HOURS?!!!! I couldn't even do that with contrast paint in 3 hours! amazing work my friend - i have just about picked up the courage to try painting with an airbrush so will be def hitting up all your vids for tips/techniques and just general positivity and creativity. Thanks for doing what you do.

[@timesup5105]

Marco Pollo Marco Hello guys! Great job!

Fantastico Marco! 😁

Livello stellare, come sempre.

[@David-ey9jg]

Inspirational!

[@legweg1149]

OK, this vid was epic from genital highlight to transparency tricks. I really like the fact that this speed paint approach rely more on color theory / planning than on brush/airsoft manipulation skills: I usually paint 1-2 times per week and can apply these methods straight forward. Thanks for this ! (PS: I secretly hope to see infinity miniatures on this channel).

Love It! Gonna try It out rn :)

Another great video with lots of useful contents and informations ! ( only the bases !!) Have you also tested the 3rd generation acrylic paints of AK ?

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

Thanks a million! I have not properly tested AK acrylics, I have just a single pot arrived as gift with my last order of basing stuff 😅 That one performs well

[@tibo16ia]

I love your tutorials. A lot of fun and energy. I watched your video on airbrushes and I am on the fence. Do you think it is feasible in small family apartment? That is no possible fixed duct to the window or premade booth. Thank you for your time and sharing.

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

Thanks a million! When you know how to handle the airbrush, working on the average size of our figures you don't produce any notable overspray and it's totally safe to use (I don't have overspray even on my cutting mat) but beginners tend to be heavy on the trigger and make a mess covering everything in coloured dust 😅. It's a steep learning curve but the first attempts can be really really messy. It's always a good idea to have a respirator for high volume works (I use mine every time I have to prime more than a couple of models)

[@tibo16ia]

@@MarcoFrisoniNJM thank you for taking the time to answer. Much much appreciated!

[@Coffaro]

Hi @Marco. Thanks for the video. Do you have by any chance a video where you explain a little bit about highligting a miniature with your kimera colours? maybe some tips and tricks?

[@sekh765]

I've literally been looking years for a crackle paste that came in large pots, that actually did a good job of making the crackle effect. This video is perfect. Thank you! Do they make a clear one for ice?

[@buggelindpetersen5187]

Absolute 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@nikolaosalexandrakis8059]

I really like the bases. And i have to say i have some ideas about applying crackling effects. I have a couple of questions though 1) assuming they are acrylic can can you change their color by adding paint? (i am referring to the AK crackle effects) 2) the same procedure applies to them as well? ( pva glue and then hairdryer?)

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

Thanks!!! You can add colours to the AK paste but you have to use the minimum amount possible because you are lowering the concentration of the components that make it work. Yes, PVA glue and hair dryer work always like a charm!

[@TheSixthWorld]

Dude those bases are HAWT...

I thought i heard that wrong, "A little more than 3 hours from start to finish." Did you sign something in blood, WTF? Your speed paintings are works of art!
