The easiest way to paint perfect Gold on Warhammer

[@BjornTheOld]

The hardest thing about NMM for a newb like me is that I don't have that feeling of how to portray light reflecting off metallic surfaces. I just can't visualize it in my head. Videos like this really help. Thank you!

[@alexGonzalez-rf5pb]

if this helps, I remember seeing a tip where you use glossy black paint (Or Primer) on the mini and point a light source where you want it from. Wherever you see the light reflecting is where your focal points should be. Hope this helps!

[@JEndymion]

NMM only makes sense for display pieces. If you are painting an army and moving them around the battle field then the portrayal of light doesn’t look right. Save yourself time and just do TMM for your armies.

[@Nozz_959]

Another eassssy way is to just video your model while primed and hold the light at a few directions. Play the video back and find the highlight angle you like the most and pause it 🎉

[@Nozz_959]

Sorry, I’m not sure why it added so many “S’s” in easy lol. Was not meant to de written that way lol

[@knightmareminis]

​@@JEndymion Not if you paint it with multiple light sources! Currently trying to an army in NMM and it is a drag, but what better way to hone your skills?

[@jonnil1997]

OMG I had no idea there was a second Squidmar channel cool

[@erictaylor5061]

I wanted to give a huge Thank You!!! for this bit. I’ve been struggling with Gold NMM on my MESBG Rivendell army, and after following this tutorial, everything came together in a very rewarding way. I had to sub out paints, but I’ll be sure to order your set after this.

[@davidjohnson-rj7op]

Nice video. Didn't know you had another channel. Might be worth mentioning it on your main one! Looking forward to bingeing these videos!

[@arucart]

oh my god a new squidly bits i was just looking at this channel yesterday

[@squidlybits1985]

Hopefully we'll keep publishing videos here weekly from now on! :)

[@johnnyheckma4412]

Same thing happened here lol

[@Brettpw]

Nice process. One of the best I am seen for an easy break down and the theory how to do NMM. You and Lucas are kings for simplifying theory and application, without tricks or endless products! One that would be cool that I rarely see on KZbin is to take this and add some sub surface scatter lighting. Let’s gets us all to competition painters haha

[@squidlybits1985]

Lets gooooo!

[@lucifer616161]

Dope video mate, I got great results with my first attempt at NMM, very informative

[@MrDavs1985]

Have to say, I use a little different colours but this is spot on. Great video, great advice! Keep it up squiddy

[@Fulgrimator]

I love this tutorial!! Amazing learning with you guys!! Hugs from Valencia :)

[@johnnyroyal6404]

i love it thanks a tone, i allready happened to have the paints so i will definetly try it and master it. yes in terms of light polacement i am a total noob, but at least i have the correct colours so now i am starting the fight!!!!!

[@Dante_8183]

YES! This is what I have been waiting for! Thank you Emil!

[@laurencecripps]

I gave this a go following the video and turned out rather well using citadel paints.

[@Holger87]

The glazing really does the magic!

[@laszlolupkovics4972]

Nice Gold NMM . I will try this colors in the future.

[@АртёмОлегович-г8ф]

Thank you for the video, really liked it! Please make a detailed video of NMM steel, metal, iron.

[@jackcat8994]

can you do one for steel or multiple metals and how you'd apply rust/ verdigris to it? I love the look of your metals vs just a metal paint.

[@darkseas3846]

Works absolutly fabulous. Thank you very much. Now I would like to see the recipe for standard metal (greyish/silverish)! Also I can recommend using "Heavy Goldbrown" from Vallejo paints as an alternative to a light brown :-)

Watched this video several times before giving NMM my first try. Video’s like this are realy realy helpfull! Thank you for all the efforts you guys put into in!

[@xxSeanVxx]

Yo that paint job slaps

[@goforitpainting]

Really cool.

[@powersave2]

Think you could do a video to get a cell shaded effect? Ie something like borderlands

[@KhorneliusPraxxGames]

I was wondering how the final glaze would work using yellow ink instead.

[@N00b_Bot]

Dang, only just found this channel! Didn't know you had it alongside your main. With the shadows to push the paint job further would glazing a burnt umber or similar tone over the shadow areas be a good next step? (similar to the yellow stage you did) thanks

[@diyfireking]

How awesome ✨✨

[@Cheese1master]

I clearly have no intuition on where to place the first highlight layer for NMM lol. Time to get some references and practice!

[@tilo8812]

Prime the mini black, place a light in Front of the Mini (Position as you want the higlights) and Take a picture, this Picture will Show you all higlights and shadow parts and you can Just follow this Picture while you Paint

[@reosir1]

If u are kind new on this tecnique this Is my personal suggestion after many trial...dont focus on where the light are going to correctly place just focus more on smooth the color right...then with practice u naturally start seeing where the light should go...or at least that worked for me :)

[@tilo8812]

​@@reosir1yeah get your Point for Sure but i often Paint really rough NMM and think the right Placements and the right colors already selling the effect

[@reosir1]

@@tilo8812 if It match for you It means that u have done a good job cause keep in mind that in the end It a matter of how mutch time did u wanna spend on smooth the effect, unless u want to win a Golden demon i think that's if u like what u see its ok, otherwise try to question the light that u place moving it to another angle and see what suit the best...if u have same copy in same pose of minis( that's quite easy to have) try to change the secondary reflex or mabie some angle and see what's the bether ... My advice if u love the tecnique, thing that i personally do, never gonna give u up[cit.] and go on painting :)

[@reosir1]

Uh and more important all of that its only my opinion ofc, this video Is really amazing and teach a really good tecnique that im going to try for sure but for example i personally use a different recipe for nmm Gold like i mix ak tenebrous Gray with ak Sahara Yellow covering 80%/90% of black than use Sahara Yellow covering 90% of previous step, then 1:1 Sahara Yellow with Ice Yellow on 90% of previous step and then a little bit of pure White for extra brightness only Just on max reflex point...the contrast with the black for me its more of impact than the Brown but this Is only a matter of personal taste

[@alexanderk.7782]

I wished you tell us some alternative brands and colour, i have s many but not these 4... :(

[@santiobiols1856]

Hi Emil and Lukas, great tutorial! Why do you prefer now parasite brown instead of scrufolous brown? Is it the colour tone or the coverage?

[@squidlybits1985]

Scrofulous brown is much more on the yellow side, and lacks a little bit of that transition between the darkest to the midtone. Parasite brown does it all with one coat. So while we used to love scrofulous brown as one of the colors to use in the mix, after our extensive testing the past two years to find the ultimate colors, we got a much better result from parasite brown!

[@nikroth]

HELL YEA

[@obi-wankenobi3477]

any citadel replacement for them (i only have citadel paints)

[@squidlybits1985]

@@obi-wankenobi3477 for the gold, it's really difficult to get this tone without sun yellow and parasite brown. You've got colors that get about 70% of the way, but for the gold I wouldn't compromise. The brown you can use rhinox hide though. I can't remember the closest color to sun yellow. Maybe dorn yellow?

[@artfrombelow]

Im having a hard time with very small bits. Like the little dangly strips that hang from an Overlords chest. I have no idea what to do with them cause theyre flat and so small

[@squidlybits1985]

Do you have a great brush for it? We did a video on brush control on the main channel some weeks back. Could be worth a watch

Everytime i try this... all layer colours end up mixing , it doesnt looks like this at all...

[@squidlybits1985]

not sure what you mean. Are you adding the next layer before the previous one havent dried, or do you mean that you're painting the next layer on too big of a surface so there's no transitions?

[@arkchanger]

@@squidlybits1985 I ADD THe layers instantly before the layers below dry, then i try to do a "glazing" but end up mixing all layers into one colour making a whole mess
