Awesome format. I love the no nonsense commentary free videography with color and recipes in the description box with timestamps. It is a nice change of pace. Excellent job!
Told you last video you were becoming one of my favourite painters on youtube and now is official. Awesome video, quality and editing. Putting the video-segments for each part is really helpful. Keep the good work please!! We can't get enough of this xD
ahahah, well we just recently started to make these SM videos, it's normal that YT is still a bit shy, concerning us XD but I want to get this channel to the top, so keep an eye on us!
Definitely one of the better Imperial Fist tutorials on here...and very fortuitous timing as I'm painting up some Imperial Fists this weekend. I never thought to use Reikland Fleshshade for the panel lining and I love the Iyanden Yellow/Gryph Hound Orange shading. That blends really nicely with the Averland Sunset and the panel line shading. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Thanks! I'm glad you like the process ^^ I hope it will be useful, glazing with contrast (diluted with their Contrast Medium) is easy, I think that they have a lot of potentials!
Really nice job bud. You make it look easy which it certainly isn't. I've been trying to get better at painting over the last year or so. I've definitely made progress. I really need to focus on skin, metals and freehand, your video offers great insight into all three, so thankyou.
Thank you Joel! What you see in these first videos, with some exception (I won't lie, freehands are not beginner-friendly), is not that difficult: the basic process behind many of my techniques is simple, I'm self-taught so I had to learn by "divide" the most tricky and technical parts into simple step, in order to understand them! The edge highlight is just straight lines, and despite with practice you'll learn how to make almost perfect lines with a single brushstroke and your hand will become firmer and firmer, you can achieve great result even if you are a beginner, because it's easy to fix errors. For the skin, for example, my process is pretty linear: basecoat, wash, then I only focus on the contrast light/dark, highlighting the volumes of the face. Once I'm happy with the bright/dark contrast, I use glazes to adjust the hue, in this case I used just red because I wanted to keep the skin simple, but usually I use also green, yellow and orange glazes to give the skin more interest. If you want to keep improving your painting, the best way is to learn how to divide complex techniques into simple steps, and above all (at least, this is my opinion) to train your hand to paint in a clean way.
Il giallo più pulito che abbia mai visto tipo. ^^ Mi piace molto e ottimo tutorial come sempre, ci voleva una cosa così sul giallo. 👍🏻 Probabilmente con qualche tecnica di invecchiamento viene da paura. 😉
sì diciamo che con gli SM è proprio una questione di ideologia: puliti puliti puliti sono splendidi e li adoro, ma credo non ci sia niente di più irrealistico XD Sto ancora cercando di sviluppare un effetto weathering che sia però preciso e pulito come piace a me .___. (per capirci, applicare quel concetto di texture che vedi sulla fondina dell'arma, all'intera armatura)
Durgin Paint Forge Miniatures Mmm forse ho capito, anche se il cuoio invecchia in modo diverso. Una volta ho visto un tizio che faceva una cosa così con le PA, tipo i contorni dell’armatura erano tutti graffiati, ma tanto, che alla fine sembrava realistico. No io comunque per il giallo penso che mi andrebbe bene anche la tecnica di Latham, sul bianco e sul giallo viene abbastanza bene, le classiche macchiette “puntineggiate”, nei punti giusti viene bene. Spugnetta per il “pattern random” e poi ci rivai sopra col pennello e ingrandisci i fori e poi lumeggi. A posto. Poi si possono aggiungere le polveri sugli scarponi volendo.
That edge-highlighting was so good and detailed that I got exhausted just watching you. I'm a beginner when it comes to painting (long-time lore lover though) so seeing this is immensely helpful, fun and satisfying. Thank you, and keep up the incredible work!
Michael Feldman indeed, edge highlight might seem difficult and frustrating, but it’s kinda relaxing and easy: there is always a way to fix errors, it’s easy to achieve great results with this basic technique ^^ you only need a bit of patience, but it’s easy to control it. I find way more stressful to paint smooth transitions, where it’s way harder to fix mistakes so I have constantly (especially on last steps) that feels of “damn, if I ruin it now I will throw everything away!!” XD
Thanks you Pete, really appreciated ^___^ indeed, yellow is tricky above all because it's difficult to fix mistakes and keep a clean style with it! But I think it's rewarding! (congrats for your channel, I love to kitbash and you've inspired me many times!)
Thanks! I use a very cheap airbrush, a sparmax max3 with 0.35 nozzle, I think it's perfect for beginners and for those (like me) that use it only for very basic tasks ^^
@@Vapingdeath Awesome chapter, but I still have to figure out if they truly have the Imperial Fists gene-seed, or they are Emperor's Children in disguise .___.

This is something else. I love the fresh approach to the "paint a mini" video genre. Not just another creator droning on (albeit a useful thing to hear) about this paint or that method. If you're taking requests, I'd love to see your take on the Inquisitor Kyria Draxus or Night Lords. Thanks and cheers!
Preston Keebler thanks, really appreciated! :) I really like night lords, but I confess I have never painted a chaos space marine before :O maybe after this first wave of loyalist marines, I can start with some heretic ones :D
Very nice. It reminds me a lot of the Eavy Metal style I remember best from back in the mid 90's. Bright colours, clean lines. All it needs is some technicolour terrain around. It's interesting to see the evolution in techniques, and see modern techniques applied to a much older stye.
First Midnight Gospel and now Trollhunters, you have excellent taste in Netflix's animated programming in addition to your fantastic painting skill, sir. I've been loving these videos! Can't wait to see more of them.
@@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures I'm giving them a read through as we speak 😂 it would have been Black Templars after your last video but I'm painting up some Goff Orks too so wanted to avoid another black scheme 🤷🏻♂️ very interested in shading the yellow with the contrast paint through an Airbrush, never tried that before, anything I should try and look out for with that or fairly straight forward? I usually look to wet blend those types of shades so again I'm looking forward to trying something a bit new...
Just when I needed to see how to paint yellow :) These videos are a delight to watch. One thing I would say - give your finished model another turn or two on the turntable at the end, so we have enough time to really appreciate the end result! Wonderful stuff!
Bruh that skin painting process was well done, I've never considered glazing skin tones instead of layering skin tones. Gonna try that myself right now!
@@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures I was just interested in an overall time in the description, breaking it out in the video i think would add a bit of clutter in the clean stlye that you have going on!
Dude your videos are awesome, no messing about, great editing, really enjoyable to watch! Also love how you flex on everyone by making your own brown rather than just using a brown 😂 keep up the great content!
Thanks Josh!! :D it's important to experiment with colors, some hues are perfect out of the pot, but some other need adjustments to look more interesting u__u and above all, I give a meaning to all the money spent in buying tons of colors XDXD
bravissimo come sempre, mi è piaciuto molto tra le altre cose la resa dell'oro, non è facile renderlo interessante in mezzo a tutto a quel giallo, almeno per me!
vero, infatti ero un po' dubbioso anche io u__u ho usato delle velature di viola per dare quel minimo di contrasto in più con l'armatura gialla, devo dire che sono servite!
holly crap dude, i feel like ive just watched an audition tape for the heavy metal crew, this is on another level man great job. the video editing was really well put together as well looked so good.
@@shaunwhitehead2966 my inner metalhead me agrees with you, warmly. Unfortunately, this genre of music is the most decent one, concerning royalty-free songs :\ please endure, 'till this channel grows up, I'll become shamefully rich and I can pay Zakk Wylde to make the music for my videos ^_^"
Holy moly ! Beautiful colour scheme ! Amazing painting skills and just a joy to watch! You give the top youtube minature painters a run for there money :) defo subscribed 👍 keep up the good work and you will go far
Thanks so much ^___^ I'm having such fun with these mini-videos and I see that subscribers are growing fast, I'm really proud of it! (I was even able to start to monetize, I've earned a tasty 2$ since Monday XDXD)
your airbrush control has made my airbrush control look like the 3 stooges with a fire hose! that is freaking awesome oh im never going to paint yellow
Just built my very first WH40k model's today, the captain and the intercessors from the start collection elite box. I can't decide to paint them regular space marines, Iron Hands, or a custom chapter. I really like the idea of my own color scheme but having examples of space marines and IF's can be helpful seeing as ive never painted a mini either lol The one thing that suprised me was how small they are! Just seemed bigger on TH-cam
Amazing work! its incredible how methodical you work and it makes me excited to paint again! could you list the materials you used to block out the colors on the shields?
Rhode thanks Rhode! I used a set of stencils made by fallout hobbies (www.fallouthobbies.com), they are useful for this kind of decoration! Of course, being the shield full of details, the stencils didn’t adapt perfectly to the surface so I had to fix some smudges with brush ^^
I love this channel! I do feel like the contrast could have been pushed a little farther with minimal extra effort, however, and the solid white decal on (his) right shoulder pad feels unfinished. Otherwise, this is exceptionally clean and consistent work! Perfect for the design of the new Primaris marines. Keep it up!
I agree with you: I could have pushed farther with contrast glazes, I preferred not to exaggerate because I wanted to show an (almost) easy way to paint yellow armours, a fair mix between a good result without too much time spent on shades! Concerning decals, I get your point, in fact they look a bit unfinished but I have a tremendous fear of touching them XD Maybe, to improve them, they need some light grey glazes, in order to give them more tridimensionality (and match with the shoulder pads that have a bit of mid tones)!
Thanks, David! We are organizing about that, at the moment I have not a decent microphone and above all I'm still a bit nervous concerning english voice over (I'm not extremely good at it XD)
I've done a Space Wolf, but that video was the first one of this "series experiment" and many things were speeded up or just skipped u__u In fact I have a more detailed video about Space Wolves, but I haven't upload it yet because I didn't want to give a kind of deja-vu effect XD
Just discovered your channel and I'm mesmerised ! Been painting for years and, despite feeling more confident with practice and time, I still struggle with skins. Could you make a list of the paints you used for the face ? The result is absolutely gorgeous ! Many thanks !
Robin ]Venice thanks, Robin! I’ve written the whole list of colours used in this video description, in specific for skin I used bugman’s glow, kislev flesh and pallid wych flesh :)
"Finished, not perfect" should be the mantra of any painter u__u you've done good job on your models, you are happy with it and this is all that matters :D the next miniatures will be better for sure, and so on!
Congrats on amazing work. Love your style, very subtle but still very detailed with prominent shading. Looking foreward for next video :) Maybe do something from Age of Sigmar range?
I'm working on it, principally I have two issue: I have not proper tools to register (but this is only a matter of saving some cash XD) and I have a bit of complex for my English, that is not properly awesome XD
I love th music though as well, but some dialogue would be good. One thing I would say I've noticed and for a OCD person like me is showing names if colours I even if it's a repeat. Example : in this video you add the wash to the recesses and then repaint yellow, was that the original yellow colour?
cpttalion78 yes, in that step I just fixed some stains and recesses with the basecoat color (Averland Sunset). Yellow is a very “delicate” color, so even being careful it’s impossible to avoid that the wash stains it a bit ^^ for this reason, I just restore with the basecoat color all the areas where the wash stained the armor!
Can you share your thought process on the airbrush of the yellow armor glaze? What are you trying to hit and cover with airbrush? I understand its a subtle effect, and I can't really quite see where you airbrush the paint and then why you would also go back in with the brush
Of course! I wanted to add some subtle mid-tones to the armour, nothing too evident but just a kind of orange hue to give more depth to the yellow. I applied at first with airbrush some subtle layers in the areas where I wanted to add some shadows (like, for example, inner legs, the lower part of the knees and backpack etc). To be more accurate, I applied also some glazes with the same mix with brush, trying to add depth on the various plates of the armour!
Uh, how I know your struggle with decals! I love them, but on SM shoulder pads they are a nightmare :| in specific, I had to cut a bit them (4 little cuts on the 4 "angles" of the decal), otherwise they simply couldn't lay down without making horrible wrinkles!
Could you also share thoughts on edge highlights? How do you place 2 edge highlights? How do you determine which spots deserve the 2nd highlight? I'm feeling a bit frustrated because I just can't seem to know how to improve my edge highlighting skills. Lastly, do you ever do battle damage? Curious how you would do it with such a neat style if at all.
Generally, for the second edge highlight I focus on the edges that I want to put on evidence, and I paint of those edges the section that I think it would reflect more light (like the vertex of a plate armour). For example, let's see the right arm: with the second highlight at first I observed the position of the arm, and I decided that the light would be reflected more on the central part of the arm, so I highlighted the edges to bring the lights on the center of the arm. If you notice, the edges of the arm are lighter at the center, reaching their highest brightness in the two vertex of that part of the armor (the vertex below and above the indomitus crusade decoration). Generally I look at the model and I just try to imagine where the lights would make the model looks better, giving priority to those part of the armor that are more visible: you don't need to work too much on the lower part of the backpack, but the more you are near the face of the miniature (the focal point), the more it's important to add contrast--> increase the lights. I think that a good approach to space marines armours, concerning highlights, is: highlight more the upper edges of the model, and of these edges, highlight more the part near to their vertex (or corners, angles, I don't know what term is better, my English is not good sorry T__T).
There's a lot to be said for 'eavy metal style. Done well it is high end table top or display standard. It's what I like to do but usually add bits on the end like weathering and scratches and dirty to make it look more realistic. Nothing more I dislike than a fresh and clean decal sticker on the side of a miniature, dirty it up with nuln oil and scratches.
I understand your point, but a dirty decal on a perfectly clean paintjob would looks weird. This style is just a graphic exercise, let's say so, a kin of painting that is meant to enhance the sculpture of a miniature: after all, it is developed by a company, GW, to promote their products ^^ for sure it isn't realistic, it is not meant to be ^^ I can't wait to start to paint some "serious" projects, so you'll see how I developed this style with my personal view: these videos are made to start a long journey :D
@@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures Go To "Dave Dogge" on Instagram (there are only 3 posts and only one Dave Dogge in the entire world) and take a look at my ultramarines Primaris. I dirtied up the decals on the pauldrons etc and I think it looks 'right' on my first bash at doing 'eavy metal space marines
I hope this comment finds you well. I am a huge imperial fists fan. I have been trying to find a way to paint a army of them for quite awhile and havent gotten a result I was satisfied with. However I found this video I absolutely love the way yours came out. I was wondering, did you prime the miniature with chaos black or mechanicus grey? Its hard to tell from the video. I also like to know how your Averland sunset came out looking more like Phalanx Yellow after base-coating? It just looks a lot brighter then it should be. Going from my experience. Was there any other colors you mixed with it? I saw you added airbrush flow improver but I dont think that would make it lighter would it? Sorry for the many questions. I just really like how you painted this. I hope you are doing well.
Hi, fellow Dornian! I always paint with a kind of dark chocolate primer (basically Rhinox Hide), there is not a specific reason for it, I just started to use it and I kept using it! About yellow, it's just averland sunset, airbrushed. I noticed that, in fact, also my local GW store staff asked me about that, and we discovered that my averland sunset (which is very old, basically first generation) is a bit different from actual ones, as GW slightly changed the formula meanwhile :\ probably, the fact that this video has been filmed under very bright light, increases a bit the brightness perception itself of the yellow, but it's just..normal Averland Sunset ^-^"
What brand, style, type of brushes are you using? I see your brushwork with pinpoint tips and such clean lines, I would like to invest in something the same or similar.
Hi Tim! I use Windsor&Newton series 7 brushes, the watercolour line (brushes of this line have longer and more flexible bristles). In general I use only two sizes: size1, for almost everything (you've seen in this video for example that I painted the pupils with this brush) and size 2 for washes and when I paint large surfaces :) They are expensive, but I think they worth every € spent on them.
Looks amazing! Can someone tell me why my models basecoated with Averland look way more orange/brown than this seemingly more yellowish base? Reproducing this (as a novice, to be fair) I seem to get a more orange ochre looking mini.. thanks!
Thanks, James! Actually, I've almost finished to paint the Dark Angels character that will be soon uploaded :D so you only have to wait for a couple of days ;)
eh my friend, we do what we can do: filming miniatures while painting is difficult! This format is meant to give a kind of "look around" of the painting process, I honestly don't think you would have the strength to bear 1-2 hours of video (that would be, however, 1/5 of the actual painting time required XD)
@@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures Oh Don't worry I completely understand that. Lol :-) It's a personal thing, my eyes aren't good enough to handle this type of camera work which is frustrating because I really like the way you paint stuff. :-)

@@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures I was just interested in an overall time in the description, breaking it out in the video i think would add a bit of clutter in the clean stlye that you have going on!
Dude your videos are awesome, no messing about, great editing, really enjoyable to watch! Also love how you flex on everyone by making your own brown rather than just using a brown 😂 keep up the great content!
Thanks Josh!! :D it's important to experiment with colors, some hues are perfect out of the pot, but some other need adjustments to look more interesting u__u and above all, I give a meaning to all the money spent in buying tons of colors XDXD
bravissimo come sempre, mi è piaciuto molto tra le altre cose la resa dell'oro, non è facile renderlo interessante in mezzo a tutto a quel giallo, almeno per me!
vero, infatti ero un po' dubbioso anche io u__u ho usato delle velature di viola per dare quel minimo di contrasto in più con l'armatura gialla, devo dire che sono servite!
omg superclean! I'm speachless...
Thanks! ^__^
Great paint job, looks amazing! Tbh, I really want one of those DQ slime glasses haha
holly crap dude, i feel like ive just watched an audition tape for the heavy metal crew, this is on another level man great job. the video editing was really well put together as well looked so good.
Vinnie barkworth thanks Vinnie! As a painter that learned from the White Dwarf tutorials, I really appreciate your words! :D
Rather silence over this horrid fucking mind numbing noise! Silence or law about the chapter
@@shaunwhitehead2966 my inner metalhead me agrees with you, warmly. Unfortunately, this genre of music is the most decent one, concerning royalty-free songs :\ please endure, 'till this channel grows up, I'll become shamefully rich and I can pay Zakk Wylde to make the music for my videos ^_^"
@@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures for what it’s worth I disagree wholeheartedly. Let them complain about the music, I like it a lot.
You sir deserve more subs as your content is amazing 👏
Thank you ^^ we've just begun, step by step I hope to make this channel grow!
@@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures I definitely think it will as your painting standard is very high 😎🙂👍
Subbed today! Master class. Loved watching this come together ....infinite power... i dig it.
Nathan Staker thanks, Nathan!!
Holy moly ! Beautiful colour scheme ! Amazing painting skills and just a joy to watch! You give the top youtube minature painters a run for there money :) defo subscribed 👍 keep up the good work and you will go far
Thanks so much ^___^ I'm having such fun with these mini-videos and I see that subscribers are growing fast, I'm really proud of it! (I was even able to start to monetize, I've earned a tasty 2$ since Monday XDXD)
Amazing work!!!!🤘🏻
Been waiting for this video since you posted the pic on Facebook!
Airbrush is such a cheat code for yellow sheesh!
your airbrush control has made my airbrush control look like the 3 stooges with a fire hose! that is freaking awesome oh im never going to paint yellow
Don't be scared by yellow, it's a cool guy!
wow man this is phenomenal you are a brilliant artist!
Thank you Jake! Maybe "artist" is too much, but I appreciate your words ^___^
@@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures well miniature painter? you are most definitely an artist with work like that! for real its phenomenal!
Love your shading and highlighting! Hot damn!!
Scratch that, i love all of it
Thanks, Randy ^___^
très bonne vidéo j adore
Just built my very first WH40k model's today, the captain and the intercessors from the start collection elite box.
I can't decide to paint them regular space marines, Iron Hands, or a custom chapter.
I really like the idea of my own color scheme but having examples of space marines and IF's can be helpful seeing as ive never painted a mini either lol
The one thing that suprised me was how small they are! Just seemed bigger on TH-cam
Amazing work! its incredible how methodical you work and it makes me excited to paint again! could you list the materials you used to block out the colors on the shields?
Rhode thanks Rhode! I used a set of stencils made by fallout hobbies (www.fallouthobbies.com), they are useful for this kind of decoration! Of course, being the shield full of details, the stencils didn’t adapt perfectly to the surface so I had to fix some smudges with brush ^^
I love this channel! I do feel like the contrast could have been pushed a little farther with minimal extra effort, however, and the solid white decal on (his) right shoulder pad feels unfinished. Otherwise, this is exceptionally clean and consistent work! Perfect for the design of the new Primaris marines. Keep it up!
I agree with you: I could have pushed farther with contrast glazes, I preferred not to exaggerate because I wanted to show an (almost) easy way to paint yellow armours, a fair mix between a good result without too much time spent on shades! Concerning decals, I get your point, in fact they look a bit unfinished but I have a tremendous fear of touching them XD Maybe, to improve them, they need some light grey glazes, in order to give them more tridimensionality (and match with the shoulder pads that have a bit of mid tones)!
Speechless
You definitely deserve more subscribers
Yes mate! Awesome
Adam Duncombe thanks, Adam!
Really love the effect in the gold in the shield. Though the whole thing is amazing anyway!
Thanks! I love to paint with metallic colors, I hope to have some time to make a proper video about advanced techniques with them ^^
Top work 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thanks! ^__^
Awesome!!
grazie Angelo!
That SWORD😍 (looks kinda like a daemon weapon... ehemmm... HERESYYYYYY!!!)
MrTheVOne tsk, it’s clearly a holy energy u.u XDXD
Great work! Would love a voice over to learn by listening also, this would elevate this even more!
Thanks, David! We are organizing about that, at the moment I have not a decent microphone and above all I'm still a bit nervous concerning english voice over (I'm not extremely good at it XD)
Fantastic work again :)
WarMiniPainting thanks!
Pretty amazing, if you could do some instructional ones that would be great. Next level paint job on this guy.
John Myers thanks John! Yes, I’m planning to make also more technical videos, proper tutorials :)
Lovely video, maybe space wolves next. Keep up the good work
I've done a Space Wolf, but that video was the first one of this "series experiment" and many things were speeded up or just skipped u__u In fact I have a more detailed video about Space Wolves, but I haven't upload it yet because I didn't want to give a kind of deja-vu effect XD
Just discovered your channel and I'm mesmerised ! Been painting for years and, despite feeling more confident with practice and time, I still struggle with skins. Could you make a list of the paints you used for the face ? The result is absolutely gorgeous ! Many thanks !
Robin ]Venice thanks, Robin! I’ve written the whole list of colours used in this video description, in specific for skin I used bugman’s glow, kislev flesh and pallid wych flesh :)
Fucking love limited palettes, the entire model looks sooo consistent.
I thought I had done a pretty good job on my models.. then I watched this. Time to repaint my army.
"Finished, not perfect" should be the mantra of any painter u__u you've done good job on your models, you are happy with it and this is all that matters :D the next miniatures will be better for sure, and so on!
incredible
Congrats on amazing work. Love your style, very subtle but still very detailed with prominent shading. Looking foreward for next video :)
Maybe do something from Age of Sigmar range?
I'll paint soon a Slave to Darkness Knight, but for a Golden Demon project so you'll see some AoS stuff ^^
@@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures Sweet looking forward :)
Incredible.
Have you thought about adding a voiceover to future videos to explain a bit more about your processes?
I'm working on it, principally I have two issue: I have not proper tools to register (but this is only a matter of saving some cash XD) and I have a bit of complex for my English, that is not properly awesome XD
I love th music though as well, but some dialogue would be good. One thing I would say I've noticed and for a OCD person like me is showing names if colours I even if it's a repeat. Example : in this video you add the wash to the recesses and then repaint yellow, was that the original yellow colour?
cpttalion78 yes, in that step I just fixed some stains and recesses with the basecoat color (Averland Sunset). Yellow is a very “delicate” color, so even being careful it’s impossible to avoid that the wash stains it a bit ^^ for this reason, I just restore with the basecoat color all the areas where the wash stained the armor!
Can you share your thought process on the airbrush of the yellow armor glaze? What are you trying to hit and cover with airbrush? I understand its a subtle effect, and I can't really quite see where you airbrush the paint and then why you would also go back in with the brush
Of course! I wanted to add some subtle mid-tones to the armour, nothing too evident but just a kind of orange hue to give more depth to the yellow. I applied at first with airbrush some subtle layers in the areas where I wanted to add some shadows (like, for example, inner legs, the lower part of the knees and backpack etc). To be more accurate, I applied also some glazes with the same mix with brush, trying to add depth on the various plates of the armour!
I hope you paint a Dark angel soon! Amazing work
I've started to paint a Dark Angel today! :D
Durgin Paint Forge Miniatures I cannot wait!
Really great job! Subbed!
Dash277 thanks! And welcome!
Also glad to see someone stick it to the common believe that paint in the ferrule is a bad thing... intentional or not, lol
kaotictube yeah I’m a bit rude with my brushes u.u”
I wish you had shown a bit more of your decaling, I struggle so much getting the Fists transfers to lay down flat even with microsol and microset
Uh, how I know your struggle with decals! I love them, but on SM shoulder pads they are a nightmare :| in specific, I had to cut a bit them (4 little cuts on the 4 "angles" of the decal), otherwise they simply couldn't lay down without making horrible wrinkles!
This video should be called: "painting minis during an earthquake" :)
Lorenzo B. We must be prepared to paint in any situation, after all!
Could you also share thoughts on edge highlights? How do you place 2 edge highlights? How do you determine which spots deserve the 2nd highlight? I'm feeling a bit frustrated because I just can't seem to know how to improve my edge highlighting skills.
Lastly, do you ever do battle damage? Curious how you would do it with such a neat style if at all.
Generally, for the second edge highlight I focus on the edges that I want to put on evidence, and I paint of those edges the section that I think it would reflect more light (like the vertex of a plate armour). For example, let's see the right arm: with the second highlight at first I observed the position of the arm, and I decided that the light would be reflected more on the central part of the arm, so I highlighted the edges to bring the lights on the center of the arm. If you notice, the edges of the arm are lighter at the center, reaching their highest brightness in the two vertex of that part of the armor (the vertex below and above the indomitus crusade decoration).
Generally I look at the model and I just try to imagine where the lights would make the model looks better, giving priority to those part of the armor that are more visible: you don't need to work too much on the lower part of the backpack, but the more you are near the face of the miniature (the focal point), the more it's important to add contrast--> increase the lights. I think that a good approach to space marines armours, concerning highlights, is: highlight more the upper edges of the model, and of these edges, highlight more the part near to their vertex (or corners, angles, I don't know what term is better, my English is not good sorry T__T).
@@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures Thank you I will keep practicing and hope to improve!
Great video! May I ask why you put the ‘Ardcoat on before you shade the armor?
Kevin Groch thanks Kevin! The gloss coat helps the wash to flow better into recesses ^^
There's a lot to be said for 'eavy metal style. Done well it is high end table top or display standard. It's what I like to do but usually add bits on the end like weathering and scratches and dirty to make it look more realistic. Nothing more I dislike than a fresh and clean decal sticker on the side of a miniature, dirty it up with nuln oil and scratches.
I understand your point, but a dirty decal on a perfectly clean paintjob would looks weird. This style is just a graphic exercise, let's say so, a kin of painting that is meant to enhance the sculpture of a miniature: after all, it is developed by a company, GW, to promote their products ^^ for sure it isn't realistic, it is not meant to be ^^ I can't wait to start to paint some "serious" projects, so you'll see how I developed this style with my personal view: these videos are made to start a long journey :D
@@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures Go To "Dave Dogge" on Instagram (there are only 3 posts and only one Dave Dogge in the entire world) and take a look at my ultramarines Primaris. I dirtied up the decals on the pauldrons etc and I think it looks 'right' on my first bash at doing 'eavy metal space marines
I hope this comment finds you well. I am a huge imperial fists fan. I have been trying to find a way to paint a army of them for quite awhile and havent gotten a result I was satisfied with. However I found this video I absolutely love the way yours came out.
I was wondering, did you prime the miniature with chaos black or mechanicus grey? Its hard to tell from the video. I also like to know how your Averland sunset came out looking more like Phalanx Yellow after base-coating? It just looks a lot brighter then it should be. Going from my experience. Was there any other colors you mixed with it? I saw you added airbrush flow improver but I dont think that would make it lighter would it?
Sorry for the many questions. I just really like how you painted this. I hope you are doing well.
Hi, fellow Dornian!
I always paint with a kind of dark chocolate primer (basically Rhinox Hide), there is not a specific reason for it, I just started to use it and I kept using it!
About yellow, it's just averland sunset, airbrushed. I noticed that, in fact, also my local GW store staff asked me about that, and we discovered that my averland sunset (which is very old, basically first generation) is a bit different from actual ones, as GW slightly changed the formula meanwhile :\
probably, the fact that this video has been filmed under very bright light, increases a bit the brightness perception itself of the yellow, but it's just..normal Averland Sunset ^-^"
What brand, style, type of brushes are you using? I see your brushwork with pinpoint tips and such clean lines, I would like to invest in something the same or similar.
Hi Tim! I use Windsor&Newton series 7 brushes, the watercolour line (brushes of this line have longer and more flexible bristles). In general I use only two sizes: size1, for almost everything (you've seen in this video for example that I painted the pupils with this brush) and size 2 for washes and when I paint large surfaces :)
They are expensive, but I think they worth every € spent on them.
Durgin, thanks for the quick response. Also, like Harvard Ross, I will be excited to see a Salamander video
Tim McMenamin great! I’ll definitely paint a Salamander, after the two Angels that are about to be painted ^^
Looks amazing! Can someone tell me why my models basecoated with Averland look way more orange/brown than this seemingly more yellowish base? Reproducing this (as a novice, to be fair) I seem to get a more orange ochre looking mini.. thanks!
Love your vids man. Favorite format for painting I’ve seen so far. You gonna do a dark angel one at some point?
Thanks, James! Actually, I've almost finished to paint the Dark Angels character that will be soon uploaded :D so you only have to wait for a couple of days ;)
@@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures Thats great news, thanks man!!
Not going to lie, it looks like there's an amazing paintjob hidden somewhere behind all the jump cuts and shakey cam. Lol
eh my friend, we do what we can do: filming miniatures while painting is difficult! This format is meant to give a kind of "look around" of the painting process, I honestly don't think you would have the strength to bear 1-2 hours of video (that would be, however, 1/5 of the actual painting time required XD)
@@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures
Oh Don't worry I completely understand that. Lol :-)
It's a personal thing, my eyes aren't good enough to handle this type of camera work which is frustrating because I really like the way you paint stuff. :-)
@@adamminister7123 maybe in the next videos I can show some details more slowly ^^
@@DurginPaintForgeMiniatures
Nah, You don't have to. I'm just getting old. Lol
