Love it! While I do appreciate the insane technique and skill of good non-metallic metal painting, I've always thought it made the minis look like cartoon characters instead of anything that could exist in the real world. So it's always going to be metallic paints for me.
NMM is awesome in photographs. It handles lighting predictably. TMM or just regular metallic paint is almost always better IRL, unless you're pulling a James Wappel and literally painting the reflected scene into your helmets.
I've generally found the opposite! I'm not an expert on nmm by any means, but I find you can make it look less shiny and stand out less from the rest of the paint job, while still selling the metal look. I love using both styles in different settings though.
FFS. I’m 4 days into a sunny 2-week holiday and now you’ve got me itching to be back in pissing down Cardiff just so I can try some of these bases out. Damn you, Guy!
I just do the metallic paint and use bascilum grey contrast to add some detail, then five-seven quick dips of water with bascilum grey in the brush for a wash
After watching your videos for over a year I finally bought my first few model kits and started an imperial fist army about 2 weeks ago. It’s been a blast so far thank you for being my first introduction to these dope little pieces of plastic.
Number 7 - Contrast Tinting is my go to for metallics over large areas. In addition to Iyanden Yellow you can also use light browns contrast paints to make brass or bronze effects as well.
I just love using contrasts for gold. I use a pearl silver metallic and bad moon yellow to make an absolutely striking gold, add a little brown wash on it to really make it pop
When it comes to brass/bronze verdigris, I've found that the technical paint "Nihilakh Oxide" works great for minimal verdigris, and any matte finish teal or jade acrylic paint works great for heavy verdigris.
Was just thinking of starting sisters and getting some knights to support them, this will be a massive help for achieving an ancient zealot knight faction. Thanks Guy :D
Just bought the metallic Liquitex inks, and accidentally bought two bottles of bronze, so there is a LOT of metal painting in my future, this is well timed!
I like the gold method. I'm doing some golden carapace tyranids, and while the method is too involved to do for every tiny little nid, I'll try it on my next larger monster model!
I plan on making a space marine squad that is kinda kill team, and i picture them being on something like a space hulk, so i will definetley rewatch this video once it’s time to paint them and figure out how i want to paint the bases
Great vid as always Guy but my one hint is when you mentioned candy apple red. Over silver is good but if you put bloodletter red contrast over a bright gold metallic (like Auric or many just a little deeper) it's amazing candy apple
Would love to see more models painted like the old black stone fortress series. Regardless thank you for all the great stuff you’ve put out over the years
When drybrushing, try using a non (or minimally) absorbant surface, like some plastic or wood. It'll keep the result from looking chalky, and feels like a bit of a miracle cure. I got the idea from Artis Opus. In case you're using paper on purpose for a specific effect, it'd be nice if you mentioned it. Great video, I'll try to remember to try these methods.
I use inks a lot, not just for metallic areas. They're amazing, and can often offer opacity for brighter colours that no paint can hope to match. Anybody thinking of using them, give them a try. Just be aware that they have very little durability, so a coat of varnish at the end is absolutely essential if you're going to be handling your figures at all.
@@aceofspades9503 I usually buy Daler Rowney, but simply because they're widely stocked in art shops around me. Liquitex or Winsor & Newton are also fine if they're easier for you to find.
No7 is really good way. I usally use ths way when i painting giant metal thing. But i recomand using tone-downed snakebite leather(contrast paint) rather then other contrast paint. This way can make grim-dark metal very easily!
I painted up Iron Man for MCP with the same technique as you used for Contrast Tinting but just did a solid silver basecoat and then 2 layers of the red contrast paint (I think it was Blood Angel Red?). Worked amazingly and I think you could do the same for any punchy contrast paint over silver. Loved the rest too!
for a similar effect as the first one, I often do Prime black > heavy silver dry brush > if you want accent colors, put contrast (or equivalent) edit: I got to contrast tinting
My favorite's got to be 5:38 I've always been a big fan of the "metallic base, contrast over it" to make colored metals! It's become the main theme for my admech army :D

That's actually exactly why I've used nmm on my Shatterpoint minis, to make them look like they're from the clone wars cartoon

How did he know I was looking for metal painting tutorials?
Unsanctioned psyker
Army Painter Sand Golem... My "contrast Paint" of choice to create a awesome gold.
Nice!
Yes! I was just about to say that 😂
Yeah!!! Absolutly
I'm more of a Snakebite Leather person, myself
15secs then laying down facts. No BS.
Thank You!
Absolutely bloody perfect. Absolutely bloody love this video 🫶🖌️🤘
Literally the perfect tutorial video.
No fluff, all to the point. Banging results.
Thank you

This is fast becoming my favourite hobby channel. Well done guys. You always deliver. Practical, applicable and succinct. Great content.
Wow, thanks!
The first two were the best looking to me and I am glad you added the bonus at the end. Great Video. thanks
I just do the metallic paint and use bascilum grey contrast to add some detail, then five-seven quick dips of water with bascilum grey in the brush for a wash
I bet that looks great!
@@MidwinterMinis it’s simple but I like it

Just got some weird flashbacks to guy’s video on retro necromanunda…. Crazy to see the progress this channel has made
When humanity needed him he delivered
Well... I'm doing everything in that ork metal from no on! That looks incredible!!
Great job Midwinter, I`ve been looking for a video like this
Really great tutorial. Just followed the first section and painted up a batch of terrain I've had for a month in about 30 minutes. Thanks!
Here he is the GOAT (Guy of all time)
THIS is the video I needed for my chaos knight! Thank you!
Excellent tutorials! Definitely will be using the Titan Metal for my Knight.
0:11 Hive walls
1:09 Ork Metal
2:04 Titan Structure
2:55 Vermin Steel
3:57 Daemonic Metal
4:45 Warm Gold
5:37 Contrast Tinting
6:18 Arcane Brass
7:33 Dust

These metallics are amazing, recently tested it on my dreadnought and it looked great, thanks for the video❤
Absolute brilliance! This video is a beacon of creativity in a sea of content.💞
Such an awesome metal technique video. Thanks so much!
Very nice video. The painting effects look great. Keep up the good work.
This is brilliant for my Leviathan Siege Dreadnaught. Thanks Guy, this video is exactly what I needed. 👍😁👍
The first one, hive walls, looks so easy with such a great effect! I'll probably do this on boarding actions terrain at some point...thank you :D
One of your best videos in terms of presentation format
Short and sweet, good video, Guy!
I just love using contrasts for gold. I use a pearl silver metallic and bad moon yellow to make an absolutely striking gold, add a little brown wash on it to really make it pop
I really liked the dust effect, I never thought about it
I really like the second one, hive walls, and will likely use it on a couple of my knights.
Good timing! Time to get started on the understructure for my Imperial Knights...
That contrast paint over silver method for gold... Trovarion does something very similar - Looks great.
It does!
For number 6: My go to gold top coat is yellow ink with just the smallest amount of orange added to give it a little more hint of warmth.
I am intending to make Hive Fleet Phyrexia so these varried metalic recipes are a must. Thank you.
When it comes to brass/bronze verdigris, I've found that the technical paint "Nihilakh Oxide" works great for minimal verdigris, and any matte finish teal or jade acrylic paint works great for heavy verdigris.
Excellent. Looking forward to trying these out.
Have fun!

Pure sickly efficient MM's style
The first two are my favourites
I love that man ❤
The real king of Hobbyist youtubers
For me. The first one are perfect!
I'm always impressed by the professionalism of your videos.
Rust nom nom nom ❤ Great video
Definitely need to try some of these myself. Thanks Guy!
Just bought the metallic Liquitex inks, and accidentally bought two bottles of bronze, so there is a LOT of metal painting in my future, this is well timed!
This was a banger!
10/10 would recommend.
Nice short vid, straight to the point.
Ork metal recipe just in time for me starting Ghazghkull... cheers Guy
Amazing short video! So much stuff in so little time
I recommend using a bit of dark dark purple when doing rust effects.
Very cool effect Ill definitely keep this video for future reference.
this was a whirlwind of knowledge transfer great work!
Brownish rust effects look very convincing over chipping.
perfect timing! I have a friend who is talking about getting some Battletech on, and need to paint up some mechs!
my streaking grime just arived today, and im hyped to try these methods out!
very nice, thanks.
Most welcome
I've got a ton of terrain I need to do and this helps a lot!
Thx for the content, very useful for my new Project ... Some bordingpatrol floor tiles
Awesome work, Guy! Ill have to give it a go.
I like the gold method. I'm doing some golden carapace tyranids, and while the method is too involved to do for every tiny little nid, I'll try it on my next larger monster model!
I'm about to start working with ink for the first time and now I'm gonna have to get some of that silver!
I plan on making a space marine squad that is kinda kill team, and i picture them being on something like a space hulk, so i will definetley rewatch this video once it’s time to paint them and figure out how i want to paint the bases
Awesome stuff. That rusted metal would look pretty cool on a nurgle mini
i love really rusted metal on models it looks so good
Great Video and great techniques…they will come handy as I‘m just going to paint the Bheta-Decima stuff…
YES!
Great vid as always Guy but my one hint is when you mentioned candy apple red.
Over silver is good but if you put bloodletter red contrast over a bright gold metallic (like Auric or many just a little deeper) it's amazing candy apple
I have a friend who's just getting started. This video is perfect for her!
I am making a whole heap of hive-sump terrain and this is a perfect reference for me! Thanks Guy
Aggaros Dunes Contrast paint over silver makes for a great old gold type colour.
Very good Video! I like these practical techniques! ❤
real handy, honestly am actually gonna save this for some other time
Would love to see more models painted like the old black stone fortress series. Regardless thank you for all the great stuff you’ve put out over the years
Love you guys!
Brilliant way of showing how to get metallics to look real quickly
Small correction, Mr. Guy, the Statue of Liberty is made of Copper and not Brass.
Now that said, they both do appear to weather the same.
An excellent video thank you.
My favorites are Arcane Brass and Hive Walls.

the brass effect Would look wonderful on some necrons!!!

I was literally just about to google this subject yesterday. Fantastic timing.
that rust effect is so much handier than my go to drubrushing orange
"8 is a weird number" *sad Khorne noises*
That blue-silver ink looks like a power weapon users fondest dream
Grand job mate
Great Video - thanks!
Amazing thanks mate
Wow awesome!
That was super helpful!
