Contrast+ How To Paint: The Norn Emissary

[@broony77]

Just followed the norm emissary tutorial to paint one as a surprise for my son’s birthday. It’s come out really well. He is going to be ecstatic. I am going to need more tanks however. Thanks Warhipster!

[@Warhipster]

Thank you so much! I hope he loves it!

[@marioernestomadridcruz5745]

Really wish there was such a great tutorial for the Norn Assimilator as well, im starting in this figure painting world so I really appreciate such detailed and well put tutorial

[@nikot.9920]

It's quite the sculpt. I can't wait to get this on the painting table

[@Yurikan]

Definitely a model that takes to contrast or or washes well. That tail looks tricky due to being so smooth though.

[@lilbigmike8945]

I cant believe how smooth you get a dry brushing to look. Its super impressive and I just cant get any dry brushing to look as good

[@echoechoecho7142]

Not many can haha. Smears, streaks, overkill, etc etc

[@jasonpaulson9116]

Takes time and patience

[@Cyd99]

It’s difficult and really I stay away from it, a lot easier to edge/glaze/layer imo it always looks ‘dry brushed’ for me.

[@epsilondelta2967]

The trick is to slightly dampen the brush first ​@@Cyd99

[@alancorn8308]

Fr, mine looks absolutely nothing like that. It’s so disheartening and makes me feel like garbage

[@owenallan7917]

Great video, looking forward to following this in anger when I paint mine. Question: when you wash out your brush before blending, do you leave the brush wet or dry it before coming back to blend? Thanks!

[@sandorcastle]

He sucks excess water off in his mouth, also helps with maintaining the point.

[@tinbum45]

Why add Lahmian Medium to Carroburg crimson when it is already a shade? Should have also played a drinking game...Drink every time you say it is Warhipster battle ready

[@jorgitos94]

Ehh nicee onee. This piece looks amazing. I will use your colours for mine also. Thanks for the video 💪

[@Xpert4Life]

AMAZING i finna study this one for days until my Norn Emissary arrives 🤣

[@freshwaterspaceman7194]

Gorgeous mini, big fan. You've done it justice with your paint job. That said, wish it was Wraithknight sized! 😁

[@goldendoomslayer6301]

Is it your lighting that is putting that gloss effect to the heavier carapace or am i losing my mind lol if so what are you using to gloss it because you dont mention it. I want to follow your video as this is my first norn and you do it absolute justice.

[@KyleDLH]

When you applied Nuln oil @33:10 , did you also do it over the head horns that were highlighted orange and washed with red? Or is it just over the black claws etc? I can't tell and I'm trying to follow along.

[@Warhipster]

Yes it is over the head horns as well. Anywhere that is black or with orangey red highlights is done with the Nuln Oil as well!

[@Rayvnkontis12]

@warhipster, do you also use Genestealer and Slaanesh on the hand bits? After the volupus pink is applied?

[@Elathar007]

Next month im gonna paint my 1st big Bug and use your tutorial ❤

[@laffkowski]

Can I copy this paint scheme for my new army? Its so buetiful

[@rienzieduardosandovalmoral4843]

Excelente video para pintar este magnífico monstruo 👌👏👏👏👏👏. Saludos desde Chile querido amigo ❤🇨🇱

[@electricsheep1963]

Another awesome video 😀

[@cupraflash6892]

Looks amazing and have 2 to paint. Where did you get the rotating stand from?

[@Warhipster]

It’s a basic lazy Susan from Amazon and then I got a Dwarven Dais from Darkfantasticmills and I use that on top of the spinny thing!

[@andrewdowns9047]

Wait, does Druchii violet apply a gloss effect, or is that something with the camera. My shades don't do that, I don't think.

[@Boarguts69]

Such a nice paint job, ty for sharing this!

[@phrasothorn]

Great job. I dont like the big visible join line on the tail. Have just order one though!!

[@Kerath]

This Tyranid walks on the Objective with his OC 15 and slaps your gf's ass. You're an Imperial Guardsman, what do you do?

[@jasonpaulson9116]

Watching you gets me hyped to paint. LOL

[@Warhipster]

And comments like this keep me hyped to keep going!

[@fernandodelgado8005]

Increíble trabajo hermano, yo estoy hacienfo todo mi ejercito basado en tus tutoriales. A seguir asi. un abrazo y muchas gracias por tu tiempo!!❤

[@mattylebatty1518]

Ive just gotta come back here to say I followed your tutorial and I’m absolutely in love with the outcome. The Norn emissary is such a great model and it absolutely needs solid paint job!

[@安安-j3s]

Great painting and I think your teaching is very clear that I could easily understand what you are doing during the video with my bad English listening.

[@garvielloken9947]

Looking for measurments of this beauty. Someone can tell me plz ?

[@mr.grunnson9302]

Amazing sculpt til you get to the feet. Those hooves are just to small to support that massive frame it feels like to me.

[@RandyOrton667]

Hope we will see a contrast+ mutalith vortex beast sometimes it's a great Modell but great work on the Tyranids

[@Walker44800]

thats not a norm emmisary ITS TYRANID GODZILLA!!!

[@bread3958]

Loved the video! Can’t wait to get my own!

[@mkulchar]

One day I can't ever understand is you do three to one for the skin red. And I do the exact same and he's almost still white and you are yours looks completely pink. Are you sure you're doing three to one because we never actually get to see you doing a mix

[@Warhipster]

It’s definitely 3:1 yes. You could always try Magos Purple instead or use less Lahmian Medium?

[@davehall6053]

Great video and an awesome model. I'm sure it will be able to eat loads of Blood Angels 😜

[@davidhabichNL]

what is the color for the feet? fadeout at 14:10 and suddenly the feet are colored.

[@t-dogg9556]

Do you dry the brush archer you wash the brush doing the blends of tail at the start

[@Graavigala85]

this is really one of those "trust the process" videos... it really came out amazing at the end

[@timbo807]

New Nids range is a FUCKING BANGER!!!

[@Thornspyre81]

Damn I thought this was in the Leviathan box!

[@eddeph]

you're like a bob ross of minipainting

[@knoxville12211]

Proooo

[@benbrown3778]

Best tutorial I've seen for these techniques!

[@hellglazer]

Absolutely fantastic model and paint job ❤❤

[@Thornspyre81]

Unbelievably gorgeous paint job!

[@loosid5209]

This was fast, real fast

[@enterthejouz6728]

Really beautiful.

[@RSB703]

Do you use a matte varnish or anything at the end?

[@ukaszchmielewski1304]

Reviving the question, does this beautifully painted models required some varnish finish? I mostly hear that tyranid players experiment with satin carapace and matte rest of miniature

[@andydunn3835]

Amazing work but is there a line highlight stage missed from the video before drybrushing the carapace Slannesh?

[@Warhipster]

Nope! It's just Genestealer Purple followed by Slaanesh Grey!

[@andydunn3835]

my bad i missed that!@@Warhipster

[@BEASTmodeontheRoad]

The model should have been bigger

[@echoechoecho7142]

Love this one and the paint job. Terrified to spend 100 bucks on this, and get it together properly since I don't think it's "push to fit" like Leviathan models and not botching the paint job.

[@kaspersaldell]

What buying Warhammer in America does to a guy

[@pesky_fool7714]

​@@kaspersaldelllol are there's push fit

[@echoechoecho7142]

Not sure I get what you mean @@kaspersaldell

[@kaspersaldell]

@@echoechoecho7142 Because they need to spend 33% more lol

[@echoechoecho7142]

lol so true.... hands shaking while gluing and painting so we don't ruin our huge investment haha... @@kaspersaldell
