    I mostly do tanks and planes. But finding citadel paints sure is an ez button. But I’ll say. The easiest way to do eyes is using oil v acrylic and letting them separate on there own for the color and pupil. Still finicky and can fail on occasion ie doubles or figure 8. Anyone else have eye Color tricks?

    I find doing a layer of my original base coat after the wash then moving on to the mixed shades helps with the blends a lot more

    • @TheHobbyGrotto
      @TheHobbyGrotto 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I've generally always done another layer of the basecoat after the wash with my painting, but I've found I don't have to do that quite as often these days now that the new Nuln Oil doesn't stain as much. Of course your mileage may vary with other washes, and certainly on a larger model more layers like you mentioned will get that blend looking even smoother 😀

    My #1 most versatile paint is probably cygor brown. It’s almost like a natural black. Goes good on bloodthirster wings, lord of change talons/beak, bloodletter horns, and more. My #2 is blood angels red. It’s good for any injury like what you see with Nurgle daemons, Khorne daemon skin, and dry brushing blood onto weapons

      That's just how drybrushed metallic pigments look when super zoomed in on camera. If you grab a pot of your own metallic paint, open it, and stare at it super close under bright light you will see how it looks different to regular acrylic, almost like there are tiny metal flecks in there. The mini looks completely fine in person 😁

    I am new to the paining part of the hobby - been a lore hound for a while. Playing Raven Guard. I realize the RG are basic black, but wondering if this sort of thing can give me a hint of metallic under the black/raven purple paint scheme of the RG so that they are not entirely "flat black" without having to dive into metallic blacks - a lot harder for new painters.

    • @TheHobbyGrotto
      @TheHobbyGrotto 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It can definitely work with the right contrast/speed paint. I've done metallic black before with Black Templar contrast but you might be able to find something even darker. Best option is to experiment with a test model and see how it looks! 😀

    • @armyfirefighter
      @armyfirefighter 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @TheHobbyGrotto Thanks. First thing I ever bought in the models long time ago is a 9th Edition Starter Kit. Never opened the box. Maybe it's become valuable these days lol. But I might use that or just buy a set of 3D prints to experiment with colors and method with before I mess with the costly items. I would love to find a way to catch that irresescent purple/blue you get with real raven feathers. There in the right light kind of thing. But I'm just glad that doing this with basic blackworks well.

    • @TheHobbyGrotto
      @TheHobbyGrotto 12 วันที่ผ่านมา

      You mainly want to keep to one or two bold feature colours, and then compliment these with neutral colours like brown, black etc. Something that can really help is looking at characters from comics, games, and other source material, you can often find bold limited colour palettes in these areas. They're also just great for colour scheme inspiration 😀

  • @Weeklong_Seagull
    @Weeklong_Seagull 12 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I think citadel is really over priced. But you're definitely right there reds and golds are probably the best as well as their contrast. The white and yellow sucks tho

    • @TheHobbyGrotto
      @TheHobbyGrotto 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      For me in Australia, the price difference between Citadel, Vallejo and Army Painter is pretty negligible, all the pots are around the $6 mark. Citadel is the most consistent brand in terms of availability so that's a big selling point for me, but mainly I'm just used to them 😁
