You can say what you want about eavy metal but I'm convinced it played a way larger part in making games workshop the biggest miniature company in the world than people realize.
you're definitely on the money. Part of the reason the Eavy Metal style is the way it is (or at least was back in the 80s) is because all the old catalogue photos were in black and white, so they needed to paint with bright colours and really sharp edge highlights in order to make the models look good in B&W. If it looks good in the magazines then people are more likely to buy in
Hey everyone, this is a much older Patreon video which I've decided to make public! It's a long one and I fully cover how to paint everything, even the base! Enjoy and happy holidays!
Thank you! I’ve been looking for long form videos like this! It’s actually helped me a lot because I’ve always gravitated towards the Eavy Metal style.
Dark Angels are my alltime favorite faction and I've been a huge fan since third edition. I really wish GW would do away with the Red Bolters and go back to Silver/Black. If you look at the 1999 Dark Angels codex, that's what they should look like. They started putting way too much red into the designs and just made it look corny. Regardless, watching you paint is a real treat. You have an amazing amount of talent. Thank you for this video.
I think, for me personally, the layer of moot green creates a bit too much of a bright, glowy effect on the mini, but that's just personal preference, and I really appreciate the tutorial and your careful explanation of your process; thank you! I'd be curious to see what you think of those new bodyguard units they revealed on Christmas; it seems like they've changed up their forumla?
These are just absolutely incredible! Beautiful work, eavy metal painters are the rockstars of my era, the real deal superstars for me, that was when I was 13, 14. Years old, I’m now 41 and feel the same way 😂 thank you for these videos 🙏🏼
Yes! First legion baby! Dude you should make like a combat patrol of them dark angels if you ever have spare time. Your guides always bring a lot of painting insight. thank you.
It goes without saying that your work is absolutely amazing, thank you for producing this tutorial. Can I ask roughly how long it took you to paint this marine?
Well I guess this is going to be my go to turtorial for paiting Dark Angels. Awesome timing since GW just revealed a bunch o new dark Angels models, wonderful christmas gift ^^
I’m a Grey Knights player and I just recently completed my army. I took my time and it took over a year for about 65 models…. And now I just keep watching Dark Angels videos. That green looks like magical or something once you edge highlight it. Friggin Grey Knight edge highlights are barely noticeable unless you look close. Even chrome on shaded GK steel or iron hands steel isn’t all that visible. I put chunky highlights of stormhost silver before the chrome and that helped, but still looks nothing like this!
Really love this series. Imma try it on my first sergeant. Thanks for the amazing tutorials, man! Merry Christmas! (I got some minis via your link as well!)
I understand why people like eavy metal, the style is beautiful. But, for me I like Grimdark. Grimdark is more gritty and fits the universe for me. Beautiful work, brother. Keep it up.
Awesome video! I would love to know how to setup my wet palette to look like yours as you have so many years of experience in painting. Keep up the great videos, they are fantastic to watch!
What type of paper do you use? I use Rynolds baking parchment as an alternative to the paper that comes with the pallet as I find this much better and cheaper.
I use an A4 document folder with spontex for the sponge. Then either standard white baking paper or a special baking sheet I got from Home Bargains which has tiny holes in it and actually keeps the paint wet.
Hey Dave! Quick question, seeing you subassemble, what glue do you use to assemble the mini itself? I know plastic cement is almost a must on the base-body connection, but what about the rest? Is the ability for the plastic cement to ruin the paint worth the risk? Or is super glue more recommended for the mini? I cant really figure out which is better and my current economy doesnt let me "just f around and find out" Much appreciated!
Hello, you can use either super glue or plastic glue. However if using plastic glue it's best practice to scratch the paint slightly at the connection point or mask it prior using blutac/masking tape for a stronger adhesion. Also be extremely careful with thinner plastic glues like Tamiya extra thin as it can run over the paint work if not careful, I normally find using a thicker plastic glue applied with a paperclip/piece of wire, the same can be done for superglue. This minimizes the risk of mistakes or getting glue where you don't want it
This is such a good guide.. I've always wanted to try to paint DAs and I think this could be my guide! Does Infernal ever say which brushes he uses? They look incredible
Thank you so much for this! I've been waiting for a while for the DAs E'vay Metal. Personally, I still think moot is just too bright. I may try a 50/50 Moot with Warp Stone as 3rd highlight and just a tiny amount of pure moot or Moot + white on sharp corners.
GW has a strange way of highlighting their figures, I guess that's more for advertising purposes than how light would normally fall on a subject. You did a fine job.
What brushes do you use? I just started painting miniatures and the brushes I am using are cheap ones off Amazon and I'm not too fond of how soft they are.
I recommend getting a couple of Kolinsky Sable Brushes of different sizes. Whether that's Rosemary & Co Series 33, Winsor and Newton Series 7, Artis Opus Series S.There's a ton of other manufacturers too but these are ones I have personally used and can recommend. Try out a few different sizes and see what works best for different tasks. Brushes are quite a personal thing but I think most people will see an improvement using one of those over a cheaper brush/synthetic. Also getting some brush soap and trying not to let paint get into the ferrule will prolong the life of the brushes and help you keep it in good shape for months/years to come.
Awesome work, love how good that "Tron glow" act over a Dark Angels armour, it gives it a lot personality to it😁 One question, if I heard well, you said that you are using a single 0 brush and even a 1, Right? Do you have any trick to hold the tip solid? I have tried with brush from several prices and all of them has a soft tip so things like you do, using the tip of the brush as if were "a pencil" is unthinkable to me 😅
Would you suggest adding a second layer of PVA anywhere? I find if I try to overbrush or drybrush that some sand ends up coming up off the base. What's your advice to prevent this? Thanks!
Hey man great tutorials! I've got a question/issue. When I try to do the finest highlights my paint almost immediately dries on the tip of my brush and it doesn't flow smoothly. Idk if its low humidity in my room or paint not being properly thinned or an issue with my water or what. Ii am uusing a wet pallet and do thin my paint quite a bit. Can you give me some advice?
Is the footage slightly sped-up. Even if it is, something I think I’m learning from you to get good edge highlights is to go thinner than I might expect, and slightly faster to avoid shake, with repeated coats to build coverage.
Hello, you can apply scratches using warpstone glow followed by the moot green then moot green/ushabti stage in smaller amounts. I will try to do a video on this topic in future
Painted up my Azrael with this tutorial, still can't quiet get that super thin final highlight just yet tho. Also just curious, I don't have a twitch account but I see you painting an NMM terminator chaplain and I was wondering if you were planning on doing an NMM tutorial in the future?
box art green angels look so dumb, thats not dark, these are bright angels. i hate eavy metal painting.
the highlights are way too bright.
and yet you clicked on an 'Eavy Metal painting guide
@@InfernalBrush💀💀💀💀
yeah, thats why they are on the cover of Boxes around the world, cuz they are dumb. Get real man
Aww boo hoo poor baby. So sad
I mean, you could just go and paint some Black Templars then?

I wish you had the info on your website as a magazine or book. I would definitely buy one even though the internet is free
@@lanesteele240and it could be Called Infernal Dwarf 🤪
Merry Christmas 🎄🎁🥂🍗🎅🏻
Thanks so much for this! I love your content even if it's unachievable 😂
Thank you so much!!
Man is fitting 4 highlights on a parts of armom i'm not even abble to aim precisely with my brush at... nice.
Man, your brush precision is out of this world. Thank you for sharing on YT

You're a damn genius for posting this during the DA Christmas stuff, I'll admit it motivated me to make them my second army
Fantastic video! And big props for using ArbitorIan's music
As usual an absolutely amazing tutorial from a master painter ! Thank you very much !
Best tutorials on TH-cam! A legendary brush.
I've never seen a miniature and thought 'absolutely beautiful'

Thanks heaps for releasing the vid! There's so many bit of info im going to try an apply! Cheers
Looks incredible. Though I'll never develop the patience for this level of edge highlighting, had to sub.
This is arguably the best painting style for displaying miniatures.
That was incredibly useful. Very nice to see a longer video with a lot of the work shown. Extremely helpful. Thank you.
Could you do a video on your process for gluing together your pieces after being painted? I really want to learn how before I attempt it.
It goes without saying that your work is absolutely amazing, thank you for producing this tutorial. Can I ask roughly how long it took you to paint this marine?
They take around 2 or so days each in the studio, a little bit longer with recording it
I love your long from videos! I learn so much and find them extremely motivating. Thanks for sharing these tips!
Gorgeous paint job probably will use a trimmed down version for my army but I do want to work on some individual display pieces for contests etc
This is absolutely the best tutorial I’ve ever seen when it comes to miniature painting. I look forward to subscribing on Patreon.
Well I guess this is going to be my go to turtorial for paiting Dark Angels.

Great tutorial Dave, just in time for the up and coming Dark Angels release.
Outstanding work like usual my friend! Now i only wish you would do a nice paint vid of the 30k Lion el johnson. /wink
This was absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much. It's both an incredible lesson and also just beautiful to watch this develop. Amazing skills.
Just decided to start the hobby dark angels are my first too!
Love your longer videos! The music is on point 👍🏽👍🏽🔥🙌🏽

Another brilliant tutorial. Eavy metal dark angels tutorial for the algorithm.
Fantastic Tutorial!
I'd love to see a video on Crimson Fists or Flesh Tearers! Keep up the great work!
Super neat, using the official recipe but the final product is much better than the official one!
Hi ! Amazing work and technics ! Thanks for sharing, I'll be pleased to see you paint some Drukhari
Wow insanely good
Awesome video! I would love to know how to setup my wet palette to look like yours as you have so many years of experience in painting.

@@rightonkeww757 That's an amazing wet pallette, much better than other I have tried.

Love your videos, if you have any time it would be sweet to see you do a night lords scheme when the kill team comes out!
The night lords video is on the patreon.
What size of Windsor and Newton Kolinsky MINIATURE Sable Brush is best?
Sorry just listened again, you say size 0 or 1, thanks.
Great job as usual 👏
I think you are awesome for making these videos
Thank you!
This has helped me out I'm beginner thanks
Absolutely bang on
Thanks so much for your amazing content !
Amazing work
This is such a good guide.. I've always wanted to try to paint DAs and I think this could be my guide!
Does Infernal ever say which brushes he uses? They look incredible
thanks a lot dave ! great work
Tremendous job. 👌
Pfffff, i'll try It, but your brush control... Seriusly, 😮, i would like paint almost a miniatule like yours... Its amaizing, thanks for yt It, master
Absolutely great to see you do more space marine legions. Are you planning on more Horus Heresy as well?
I would love to when the assault marines come out, they are some great looking miniatures!
Thank you so much for this! I've been waiting for a while for the DAs E'vay Metal. Personally, I still think moot is just too bright. I may try a 50/50 Moot with Warp Stone as 3rd highlight and just a tiny amount of pure moot or Moot + white on sharp corners.
Lets goooooo
haha thank you man! I'm a big fan of your lore videos
@@InfernalBrush Cheers man! I've been looking for a really good DA tutorial and ended up here
I wonder if dark angels green contrast would be a good line shade paint
Love your work bro!😎🤙 would you make in the future How to paint sons of horus like the box art? Merry Xmas!
Amazing work thanks for this great video
Awesome video!
Thank you Ariel!
The Lion is pleased 🦁
I love this! Could we maybe get a tutorial for Ogor mawtribes from the age of sigmar range? would be really nice to see how you paint skin on them
MASTERCLASS!
GW has a strange way of highlighting their figures, I guess that's more for advertising purposes than how light would normally fall on a subject. You did a fine job.
it's main purpose is make the miniature as readable as possible as far as I know, and it does that perfectly imo.
i adore how clean this is!
I have to ask though, how do you paint with such a light background? It darkens everything in front of it.
Could you share how you did the gold bits for the Dark Angels? I don’t think that was covered in the video; if it was I missed it 😅
What brushes do you use? I just started painting miniatures and the brushes I am using are cheap ones off Amazon and I'm not too fond of how soft they are.

@InfernalBrush awesome! Thank ypu so much! I just finished my first space marine squad and I am addicted!
Please do cadians, I have all 3 generations & just doing them standard.
This is killer. Lion tutorial next in the DA series? 😉
Thank you.I hope so!
Great job man, thank you

Love the video. Do you by chance have a eavy metal style Space Wolf video on your Patreon?
W&N Series 7 Miniature, but which number? 00?
bonjour je viens de voir ta vidéo qui est génial et j'aimerai savoir quel pinceau tu utilise?merci d'avance infernal

Is it possible to have the compilation of the music you used on the video ? xD
Very nice video as always.
Do you think it could be possible to apply the Lion painting scheme to the rest of the army.
If so, would you change it?
What brand of sand does he use for the base?
fantastic work mate, aslso what was the first two songs? love em. cheers from downunder!
