@@iloveyoushima4953 thanks

[@InsongWhang]

Hell yeah. I've got 20 of these pyromaniacs to paint, and I will definitely be using this

[@MegatronYES]

Definitely doing this to mine

[@burrowsforge3538]

Very cool, only thing I might add to a flamer like that is some flat black to the very end/tip to simulate soot!

[@millroll97]

That looks great. I heat treat steel pretty often and it looks spot on to my eye. Very nice!

[@NitroModelsAndComics]

I've been doing this on my drag race car model headers for years using the transparent Tamiya acrylics. Good stuff.

[@katamattyon]

That looks incredible, definitely adds something extra to the model!!

[@NickCowell]

I use a very similar technique but 3 shades - Seraphim Sepia, Druchii Violet then Drakenhof Nightshade

[@justaguyandadog2984]

I used this method ona seething bazelgeuse sculpture i did, and it was perfect, thanks for the tip man

[@SonofGuilliman281]

This convinced me to buy Infernus Marines

[@jonathanbee514]

music and effect are smooth af

[@skyhymitch]

Not only the flamer, but I like the rugged look of the armor too.

[@trovarion]

Thanks! there's a full video on my channel!

[@Nicolas-Cage-]

You can also get this effect, I’ll be it a lesser version, with retributor gold/runelord brass followed by drucchii purple and drakenhoff blue. I’m relatively new to the hobby so sorry if I got the names wrong

[@Funkabull]

I did something similar but with a base of screaming bell. May have to try this one out on one of my marines!

[@spartastic4]

This is actually exactly what I was looking for

[@mahari7285]

I had this idea so many times but never found a proper technique...thank you so much! 🙏🙏🙏

[@mrmlmxyzptlk6376]

I have a bunch of infernus that I was trying to figure out how to paint their barrels/vents...I certainly know how I'm doing it now!

[@fallenfossl]

Mate i love these shorts of bits in your long vids. This really makes me wanna paint these now 😂

[@seancromwell2482]

Fckn love the backing track

[@LuciaFinstra]

Superb! Thanks for sharing! 😊

[@darbypea2223]

I love the blued metal effect. Very cool and realistic

[@nurglematthew893]

Automatically Approved

[@andrewcrane5105]

Absolutely gorgeous

[@liruichen]

Thanks for this I was just wanting this little recipe

[@PaintAndPlayWithJay]

Ooooh that's incredible and so easy! Thanks for the tip.

[@brianfpp540]

Thats a really nice look.

[@DigininjaRobin]

That is a beautiful effect

[@TwoRavensMinis]

As a professional blacksmith, I approve this technique. It's bang on mate.

[@dubuyajay9964]

What is it?

[@TwoRavensMinis]

@@dubuyajay9964 It's the colours that appear when you heat steel. It goes from a burnt grey to a lovely straw colour. With beautiful violets and blues in-between.

[@jakelilevjen9766]

Really cool heat effect!

[@sirohpacey1796]

I used this on my latest mini. You rock.

[@Dracobyte]

Nice tips!!

[@EnginesofNurgle-ku9ug]

I do cassandora yellow, carrosburg crimson, naggarro night? Idk some purple paint that’s a wash, & the drakenhof nightshade.

[@dfly27485]

Very Nice

[@zeroxexe111]

I didn't think I'd love painting these intercessior guys, my flamers are still only base coated cuz I'm nervous to try this effect Hella dope tho.

[@lokifred13]

Great mini tuto, thx

Sick!

[@raidenw1ns85]

BROTHER, embrace the DRIP.

[@HomeWithDrew]

I like you using techniques foun on scale car kit exhausts (based on real ones) and using it on miniatures 👍🏻

[@kolm24]

serious that.

[@TempleOfShadowsTOS]

Hell yes!

[@badinkstudios]

Genius

[@tommyakesson8858]

Oh boy. Im aboit to paint a ton of Sisters This will help a ton!

[@absolutfreak5012]

Excuse me while I go put the finishing touches on the Flash Gitz that have this kind of gun barrel. Thanks!

[@mtb4l484]

EPIC!

[@zuccbucc4778]

Exactly how gw shows you to paint them

[@AlexanderEiffel]

Tip of the flamer should be burnt clean. Maybe do a bit of clean metallic on the very edge

[@stevenborman9110]

Aircraft and car modellers have been doing this for years. You should try getting some laquer paints MRPaint type and use your airbrush for this effect.

[@spaznorcrest]

I won a mini of the month contest using this method

[@ryankyle2467]

Would it still be the same process if the part of the weapon that you’re doing this to isn’t gun metal color (like silver)?!? What I mean is since most of the weapons I have painted that I’ve been trying to do this effect on is normal black or dark grey! But with these exact weapons I’ve been painting that end bronze (weapon bronze from army painter)! So would I do the same process to do this effect? Or do I need to repaint all of the gun metal? Either way, thanks and have a great day!!!

[@blackdragon5274]

I thought this was pretty much the standard way to do it

[@warhammer89000]

Vallejo💪💪💪

[@anathema1828]

Damn!

[@miker8560]

Did you think down the contrast paints too?

[@dominicchetcuti5704]

May I asked what the base cost silver was?

[@Mr.Monocle64]

Question should you wait for the washes to dry inbetween or just put it all on at once

[@trovarion]

I let them dry

[@salamandra161ovd5]

Выглядит здорово, но в оружии используют сталь устойчивую к термическим воздействиям, поэтому радужные побежалости на металле появляться не должны Хотя повторюсь, выглядит потрясающе

[@trovarion]

no comprende

[@212madfool]

joink!

[@101wilku101]

Use heat next time, as this is done on that exhausts 😂

[@reelement8032]

I wonder how this would look on a power sword.

[@MuichiTheFemboy]

OH HELL NAH DON'T TELL ME I WAS SUPPOSED TO LEFT THAT LITTLE THING IN THE TIP UNDER THE BARREL 💀 I REMOVED IT BECAUSE I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS A FLAMETHROWER, NOOOO

[@trovarion]

SHIEEEEET

[@MuichiTheFemboy]

@@trovarion 😭😭😭

[@Descent9]

Thumbnail made me think you modeled flame that was magically detached from the flamer. I was confused 😅

[@trovarion]

I accidentially chose a good thumbnail then for once xD

[@chrishollinrake3171]

Is the contrast thinned?

[@trovarion]

a little, yes. helps with blending when the first layer doesn't cover all the way.

[@lockandbone6784]

Commenting so I get more of your content

[@mindlasher]

I tried this and my outcome was hot garbage. I'm guessing that I did something wrong. I tried to wetblend the inks and washes I had. For my next attempt should I let each colour dry before painting the next?

[@trovarion]

Yes

[@mindlasher]

Thank you.

[@Reapray]

Yeah but compared to your reference picture, you're putting the colors on backwards?

[@jm329]

It isn’t backwards. The hottest part is the darkest.

[@psyk0tixz]

Is this slap chopped?

[@trovarion]

No. It's my grimdark approach. There's a couple of videos on my channel about it, including the salamander.

[@ryanhatzenbeller4327]

Omg warhammer has gone WOKE...jk i love rainbows

[@usernamedkjahstill5003]

Spice things up? I thought that effect was a requirement?

[@oliviergiroux3382]

I prefer oil paint to achieve a better and easier blending

[@solidzaku2]

I'm going to make a color shift paint that does this. I'm going to call it 'Eldar Improver'.

[@ThisMiniSucks]

Wowwww so clean 🤙🏼
