I'd never thought to mix two similar colours for a base coat, but it makes a lot of sense when you see the subtle highlights and shadows you can get afterwards. This was a really educational video, thanks!
Super true, I’m not super fond of REALLY pronounced shadows. It looks too “painterly” I suppose. Having it far more subtle, but shaded nonetheless I think is a far better approach
Yes! I have mixed two base coats and highlighted up with different combinations but never shaded before, only washes
Yeah me too. Seems like a no duh sort of thing. Lol
Yeh it actually makes sense when you think about it.
I reckon most people would typically take their original base colour, and then mix that either with white or black, or with another similar colour in order to achieve the "same" effect.
I guess doing the mixing on the basecoat gives us a richer 'primary' colour, so the shades and shadows actually blend properly.
The first way around I've always thought results in the 'secondary' colours almost always having a very stark contrast to the basecoat. This heavy metal way allows us to keep most of the colours being use the same.
Im not sure if I explained it properly...
Frazetta baby!!!
Good ol Daryl!! He might not exactly share your enthusiasm for miniature painting but damned if he’s not ready to help out a friend in need when it comes to breaking something or into somewhere 🙌
He reminds me of that one chill friend your older brother would have
Daryl would call you an idiot for killing a person but also help you hide the body. be like Daryl
@@lv100Alice and killing them would be Daryl's idea
Daryl is a good friend and a great wet work guy
Daryl would also own a 1979 GMC truck that is predominantly primer grey.
I would like for GW to release all the 'Eavy Metal recipes. Not because I would follow them perfectly, but to know what is the main color they've used. Even if I have to mix the basecoat color, I could use this and then a shade and one highlight to get close enough to it.
I'm a "infernal brush" patreon he has most of the eavy metal painting recipes on there as he was a eavy metal painter. I wanted to use the black templar guide its great but it takes so long to do. If you want to learn how to paint in that style he's a great one to watch.
Who was a Eavy Metal painter?
@@Dragongaze13 No, The Who was a band.
@@Dragongaze13 Infernal Brush, he has an instagram, a youtube and a patreon
@@Dragongaze13 just search for "infernal brush" on TH-cam and you will find him. Well worth it.
@@craggylotus the *Guess who*?
I remember when I first started, white dwarfs would sometimes have very in-depth painting articles on how to paint certain models. For example, when the Legion of the damned was redone (but still done in pewter) they had a wonderful article on how to paint a model step by step, far more in depth than some articles I see today. A lot of the steps they used were mixes of various colours. I remember at the time people scoffed and said they (heavy metal) didn't actually use those mixes themselves and they probably just used Vallejo. Regardless of if that was true or not, I tried the painting guide and copied it perfectly, and sure enough it was an exact match to the box art. Seeing this video, and remembering that article makes me think that maybe they did actually use the mix recipes after all.
They probably just pre-mix bottles of these colors.
It's crazy to me that some believe that they don't go through all those steps. It's like fuck nuts they do this professionally. It's literally their job to go all in to make it appealing to the customer.
they definitely did and also recommended it back then, I remember when I started I bought a magazine with some uruk hai models and paints and brushes, a little starter kit and in the manuals for painting they explicitly said to mix the colors and whatnot to get the Uruk skin right and stuff, so I find it kinda funny that people only seem to catch on now
I saw an interview with Peachy recently. He used to work for the army painting team and he talked about how they would get the 'Eavy Metal example and have to translate it into something doable for an entire army (for photos). It was pretty interesting.
I think one of the most important thing to take from this video is that it's normal for things to look "wrong" or "bad" when you're in the middle of painting a model. It can be really easy to feel like you've made a mistake or gone to far, but it's not until the model is finished that you really see what you've been building
I actually stopped painting at game stores for this very reason. I'd get SOOOO many comments from onlookers that my work looked "bad" or like I was messing something up. But whenever I showed them the final product. EVERY. FRIGGON. TIME. they were like "BROOOOO THAT'S SOOOO COOOL!!!" It's like, yeah man, you gotta let a process breathe. And to be honest it's NOT easy seeing the end from the beginning. It really does take a lot of experience to get there and things can seem really off or weird when you're doing something that will end up looking stellar.
This is how I learned to paint and how I've always painted. No slapchop for me, i'm too old to learn new tricks 😄. The Guardsman looks great! I have tried to follow GW studio schemes but they can be so inscrutable. These days, I have my own approach that's finally starting to look like my own. Cheers!
Honestly the slap chop and other speed painting techniques seem better served for hoards of units, not the leaders, vehicles, or hero units. Learning something new should be a focus though, as the paints themselves are changing and competition is definitely a driving force.
Same here. I learned how to paint from the How to Paint Citadel Miniatures book. I slowly deviated my own approach as well, which works great for me. I've practiced other techniques, but prefer my "eavy metal" style, as I'm still learning and becoming a better painter.

I don't think i would use only "one" technique to paint a whole army. One of the best things in our hooby is that we can use sooo much techniques , wether it's sculpting, wet blending, nmm, airbrushing, oil paints, drybrusing, stippling, glazing and i certainly forgot half of them. If i had a recipy for some characters, or one or two units ? yes, sure, the result is amazing. But i can't let so much diversity disapear in my work. You try techniques, sometimes it fails, and sometimes you're proud of your work. And that feeling is awesome. At least for me.
8 hours for 1 guardsmen seems excessive
😂 I'm definitely in noob (returning veteran) territory and I'm not far off that.
For the metallics, eavy metal will be using thinned black ink or thinned contrast paints for the shading. Multiple layers. Also if you want to knock gloss off you can mix some matte medium into the paint or just glaze it on after.
I don't know if I have the level of brush control to really nail those fine detail shadow affects, but I have to say the end result you've come to is impressive. I'd probably go insane trying to do a whole army like that but if I had the full recipes? Yeah, I'd tackle the occasional hero model that way.
GW needs to release the colour recipes for all the official art and painted mini's, even if its just referencing their own paints and not just general colours, it'd give us all such a head start in matching the official colour schemes since as you even pointed out with the flak armour, some official art has colour tones we just dont have paints for, its a real shame.
One really solid thing I pulled from this video is the red colouring in leather. Great tip and explains a lot. I'm just starting to lean into my painting more and trying to actively improve and it's little nuggets like this, sometimes that is completely off topic for the video, which bring the big light lightbulb moments for me. Thanks Jon and Darryl!
Subscribed and a big thumbs up.
Things I like:
1) You explain things, things that I already technically know, really well and end up clarifying and enhancing knowledge I already have... I feel like you are unlocking doors in my mind.
2) Your painting is excellent and well presented
3) You have a great personality. Some US TH-camrs I find incredibly obnoxious (hello, Miniac), but your style of presentation and delivery is just lovely. You seem like such a lovely man.
Only just found this channel, so I have plenty of content to enjoy now! I'll look into the channel more later and you may just have a new Patreon! THANK YOU!
Great video! Very insightful indeed. :) I think you hit the nail on the head when trying to explain about the thinning consistency. And this is definitely the thing I would recommend to someone to practice and learn to control to level up their painting regardless of the recipe as it's just so useful in most painting situations! :)
Really loved this. As a newer painter, knowing the colors the "pros" use is tremendously helpful in teaching me how to achieve volume and light so that I can eventually branch off into hopefully my own style and color pallette.
Ambrocio from Mexico... was not subscribed... now he is... like your videos man!! fun and informative and as always with awesome resulting minis, just been on this "mini painting path" for less than a year and is always a great source to come to your videos, keep 'em coming!!
Great content as always Jon, thanks for the tips! The end result of your paint-job was amazing!
Awesome approach! Perfect timing for me as I’m about to paint 4 Mega Gargants. Really appreciate the great content. All the best.
I've been struggling a bit with starting dark and working up lighter colors, so I was already thinking of trying to start with the midtone. Great video and really impressive result!
Went and got one of those dice trays! Love your videos man. You're amazing!
I would use the ‘eavy metal recipe for hq options. I used one I found for house Makabius for my armigers and they look great.
Incredibly valuable tutorial. I would love to use the framework as an exercise to see if it works well for me. It seems like a great guideline for anyone who wants to push their shadows and highlights more. Especially the shadows for me being that I learned to paint via Duncans videos and they always go darkest to lightest.
Bloody good job on this! Looks amazing, can’t wait to try this myself
Honestly just the leather portion of this video has blown my mind. I've suffered painting leather for so long.
Using the midtone as the base coat is a bit of a mind blower!
Was looking a dicetray so your advert came along at the right time lol
Really enjoying your videos, Jon! Very nice mix of painting and talking head as well as fun and helpful tips. Both entertainment and education. Very well done, sir!
Thanks for watching and the feedback 👍 Congratulations you have been selected For the ongoing PS5 Giveaway, Telegram only to claim your prize 🎁❤️.
Every time I think I’m doing well with painting I come watch one of your videos and learn something new. In this case, I’m trying to paint too fast which means I’m putting too much paint on my brush, which means my control is worse and my lines are thicker. Thanks for another excellent video!
Thanks for the content. I love how you post material. Little light hearted with a comedic spin. Keeps me coming back.
I would not try it. I've been painting for 20+ years and have learned from people like you and just created my own style/techniques.
I too love Frank's work! Conan the Barbarian is what got me drawn to his art style. You should paint a Barbarian in his art style as a fun challenge!
Keep up the great content! 🤙
Dear Mr Ninj, I would quite enjoy to see you paint a mini with light colours in the recesses and dark colours for the higlights, just to see what it looks like. Please could you consider making this happen? Thank you!!
Your intro had me rolling 😂😂😂, thank you! Love all your content sir
Excellent work, John!
When I noticed I hadn't subscribed yet, I smacked my forehead so hard it scared the cat. A great blend of technical and personal perspective with a dash of humor, your videos are some of the best hobby content around.
Great video Jon. I'm learning a lot, as always!
Tipp for the glossy drying: add a coat of contrast medium and let it dry naturally, it will take a way the shine!
Actually works! Great hint!
Nice Video so far! I am wondering where you have got these awesome showcases from! Thank you for the entertainment, Sir!
Love watching your channel grow. Keep up the good content.
Great video! I love your analysis, especially since it's such a structured dissection of 'Eavy Metal's style.
(From a viewer standpoint, I want to point out that I feel the audio editing is slightly off; audio level is very quiet despite the clarity and quality. I had to crank up the volume on my PC.)
Its interesting that you mention painting a base coat first, which is then either highlighted or shadowed. But this was always the kind of 'classic' way of painting GW minis; basecoat, shade, highlight. Its a more recent technique to start dark and build up to the highlight and you're correct that this technique can end up obliterating mid tones and just having a mini which is all highlights and shadows, giving way too much contrast and looking odd. I sometimes paint 54mm historical models and I nearly always work this way, laying down a basecoat, which is the colour that part of the model is and then highlight and shadow. The only difference is I tend to highlight then shade to avoid falling into the trap of perceiving the base coat as the highlight and ending up with too dark a model. But either way works fine as long as you always step back and critically consider if the mini looks 'right', you can always deepen the shadows or push the highlight if you need more contrast. But it is a time consuming way of painting, the investment of time on one mini is great but if you do it right, you end up with a rewarding result; a balanced mini that really pops where it needs to.
Me too, especially when I'm painting armies.
Jon this is a bloody good video and guide. Well done, I learn a lot from this vid!
I'm enjoying this 90's montage music you have been using lately.
The marine looks great by the way. I still prefer the character your personal paint style brings to the models, but seeing you push yourself into another technique and pulling it off so well is very impressive. 🤘🤘
Awesome tutorial! Thank you for breaking this down in a manageable format. Quick question: what did you use as a primer?
I think it's great to paint a couple models in a documented step by step process of a professionals recipe. The skills learned throughout the process can easily be applied to further develop each individuals own style of painting.
Amazing video. Loved the look into how much work those HM folk do! Could you share what zoom goggles you're using in some of the footage that shows your painting?
This is perfect and been trying to find something like this! Thank you so so much!

Thanx for great video! Think this helps me to move forward as felt like death way to build up from darkest color. Was moving in circle for some time. Need to try it immediately!
Another fantastic video Jon! Really helpful to see your interpretation of the eavy metal style. Would I paint a whole army in this style? Nope, that's too time and labour intensive. But for a hero model or a display piece? Heck yeah!
great work as always!!! where did you get those bits for bases?
Very noice video and amazing results!!! What tufts did you use, these look really good!
Absolutely amazing video. Never played 40k but this video made me want to try. Thankyou
Great stuff Jon! You're really hitting your stride lately. Love to see it.
Thanks for another great vid and especially for the words of wisdom on paint consistency. Agree 100%, still struggling to get it right. In answer to your question if GW released an "official" 'eavy metal recipe I'd definitely try it out on at least some models. For anything that's going to tabletop in a group, straight to contrast for the shading at least.
This was gorgeous. Great job.
Wooo ordered my dice tray. Glad to be able to support one of my favorite content creators. SLAY THE GRAY!! Ill see you at adepticon, Jon! :)

I like doing my own thing tbh. Not sure if it's the heavy metal approach. But it looks great!
Thanks for the video
Hi Ninjon! I've hit that Subscribe button after watching way too many of your back catalogue, and admiring your work and presentation style. Quick question: what are the magnifying glasses you wear for painting, and do they interfere with your regular glasses to any extent? Thanks heaps.
Been looking for an excuse to buy a dice tray. Now I get one that has been touched by the Ninjon himself and bares his name ! Purchaser no.90 it is !
I pray the dice gods are kind to me upon the many rolls ! Cheers guv, keep up the great work !
Also, about leather: another secret shortcut to making leather not look like brown cloth is washing it with... purple. Rhinox hide and similar browns already have some red in them. A purple wash for overall shade and recess creates a "plum" tone which is evokes leather.
I find a base of Orange Brown followed by a wash of Reikland gives a pretty good leather effect. But you’re right the reason leather is so hard to do is because it’s effectively a twotone colour.
Thanks for the video. Just wanted to add, that the choice of music is super cool)

I'm kind of a scrub painter but I used to hang out with a bunch of pros and while everyone's technique is a bit different this kind of glazing/layering technique was pretty consistently the standard. And yes, I have learned that learning to get your paint the right consistency is the key skill that masters have (and and eye for light)
Jon is 100% correct that how the studio say they paint it and how they actually paint it are very different. They even sometimes use paint colours not available to the public and their techniques are very advanced although stylistic in tone.
the paints are absolutely available to the public. the reason why they don't divulge this information is because GW forbids the house painters from using non GW branded products.
@@KT-pv3kl Darren Latham got into trouble for using Vallejo and Army Painter, I believe. Are you saying that the Heavy Metal team uses non-GW products? Many people suspected that for years!
@@MrPolicekarim im not sure if its the eavy metal Team or other externally hired painters but i can spot vallejo liquid gold from a mile away in some of those promo images XD
@@KT-pv3kl What they sell is a lie! Just like the whey powder companies! Any other stuff you noticed, please? I have heard they take photos of the models by themselves, then edit them so they appear altogether, like in 1 photo! Then people complain about why they can't take good photos like GW!
I'd attempt it, I've loved the 'eavy metal style since I first saw a 40k box in 2003.
THANK YOU NINJON.
I WAITED YEARS, HOPING YOU TO MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT ASTRA MILITARUM.

Ninjon, thanks for the amazing content that you produce! Please could you tell me the name of the magnifying glass that's attached to your head when you're painting? I really need to get one of those to save my eyes.
I would totally do an army this way. I'm currently close to half way through my first 2k point army ever (Ultramarines cuz I'm a newbie and like blue) and I've done the whole thing trying to match the box art. I just assumed that's what everyone did and now I've got half an army that I love that shows my skill progressing with each model. I don't think I'll ever get into speed painting simply because I love seeing a full army painted to the highest quality I can muster. Ninjon, love your stuff and would love to meet you one day if only to pick your brain for tips with my son who's getting into painting minis with me. Thanks for everything you've taught us.
Yeah, I'd attempt it occasionally. I love using different styles to gett different feelings in individual models.
I know I'll definitely use these colour recipes though.
Interesting. I might try it for my command figure or two, but the rank and file grunts get the contrast paint speed painting technique.
Wow great video, started painting my first miniatures this year, and this style feels so much away now because every time I paint I learn new things on how to use my brush and the paints etc. Still at my basics, but I am proud af about my miniatures :D Best wishes, ah and.. subscribed.
Thank you for the video. I am going to try this on my Emperor’s Children that I am just about to start. I won’t do the whole recipe/system on every model, probably not even on the HQs or other big pieces, but I will take the advice and technique on starting with the mid tone and adjusting for highlights and shadows.

Great video Jon.
Great Video…I learned a lot!
2 questions: where did you get your Citadel squeeze bottles, I often use a wet palette and like Citadels pigments but find their usual bottles with the big lip hard to use.
Question 2 : did you make your display light boxes on your wall behind you ? They are awesome, where can I buy those ?
I would appreciate it so much if you could do this with the new Aledari Guardians! The saim hann ones! I've bought so many red paints trying to match the beauty of their scheme and I just can't quite get it!
Man, that bit about using an anchor and moving up and down from a mix with that anchor makes a lot of sense. I've been struggling with armor that looks very flat and then just has a very out of place "line" of edge highlight that's a very different color. I'm going to give this a try! Any thoughts of just mixing whites and blacks with your anchor color to move to darker or lighter tones?
I've got a guess as to why they mix similar colors together as the base color. This then allows the original colors to work as accents/shadows/highlights. Extremely subtle ones at that. Since they gotta have those beautiful transitions, it makes sense to base something with the "harder colors" (mixed) as the step you don't have to re mix it later.
Or it's just that there's more colours out there than the premade ones they sell.
Thank you for the great tutorial! Would you mind sharing where you get your basing materials (Stones etc.?) :)
I did the Avatar Masterclass on Warhammer+ and it was eye opening. It’s exactly as you’ve shown, a lot of unexpected blends for base coats, sometimes six layers of very thin paint for a base, no Shade or wash apart from the texture paint on the base. All the shading is thinned paint, a lot of diluted Contrast for bringing areas together. It really changed the way I thought about miniature painting.
The white loincloth for example is a 50/50 mix of White Scar/Corax White diluted to milk consistency then painted over black… I think it took about seven very thin coats.
The model probably took about 40 hours to paint.
Wow, that leather is incredible. I've always wondered how they do it!
I never understood how to make leather look good, thanks for the recipe! That mini legit looked like the box art. Very cool.
Thanks for watching and the feedback 👍 Congratulations you have been selected For the ongoing PS5 Giveaway, Telegram only to claim your prize 🎁❤️.
Strangely. I been painting in roughly this style without thinking about it. For some reason I did find it much easier and as soon as I strayed from it I found myself fighting with shadows and highlights.
Nice to have to it explained and codified!
I would. I wouldn't do it for all my models but would do it for my main play 40k & AOS models and for any tournament armies. Went to the grand narrative, would have painted whole Necrons army if I had the exact recipe. Also I got the dice tray, so excited for it to come. Thanks for another great video.
Daryl cracks me up!! Still love the Shaun spear!! I really enjoyed your 80’s style music for your transitions.
Incredible skill, incredible style!
Daryl! Production value increasing!
This was great! I’ve always wanted to see how they “actually” paint their minis. I would definitely give it a try.
I could see doing this for a few characters and that would be a lot of fun, but if I did it for the infantry I painted over the past two and a half months it would take me closer to a year. Though it might get me to use GW paints again, since I prefer other paints these days.
Good video Jon! cheers👍👍
I do use the 'eavy metal recipe for Word Bearers - I just love that paintjob a lot although it's a lot simpler than this.
Ordered my tray, soooo frikking excited!
Thanks for watching and the feedback 👍 Congratulations you have been selected For the ongoing PS5 Giveaway, Telegram only to claim your prize 🎁❤️….
Even if I had the exact recipe I could not do it. I have VERY shaking hands and it has always been very hard for me to paint to the standard I want. Washes, dips and now contrast paints are all god sends for me and I use them all the time.
I would try their style of painting at least once. I play Skaven, so I have many models if I end up not caring for it. I started with midtones and a lot of color mixing naturally because that's what I do with digital art and traditional painting. I transferred a lot of that process to model painting. While my order of operations is similar to what we see from Games Workshop stores, my color transitions are a lot more stark (I like it that way).
i definitely would love to do the 'Eavy Metal style for some special minis. Itd be a nice relaxing way to spend time while improving my ability for layering.
