You're quickly becoming one of my absolute favourite painting youtubers. You have a unique style that's quick, easy and looks great. Keep doing your thing!
I didn't dilute Nazdreg Yellow when I tried it for my gobbos, which is probably why I didn't like it as much. And using diluted Gryphcharger Grey to recess shade the skin should be a winner! As always, thank you for all the recipes! ❤
Darcy, i just recently discovered your channel because you had posted a tutorial on painting Cadians on Reddit. However, I can´t find a video related to that on your channel. Do you plan on doing that in the future? Your scheme is my favourite after hours of research on the internet and since I have to paint like 800 of those dudes it would be great to see your scheme in action lol Great work on the Ironjawz btw
Well thank you, and thanks for checking it out! No sorry, no video on the Cadians. They were painted for a massive army commission and the time I wasn't making videos. To be honest I don't think I will paint khaki and green ever again after that one 😄.
I came to TH-cam to find yellow Ork armor because I saw an amazing Ork Kommandos kill team posted on warhammer community. Half way through the video I realized they’re yours! Amazing job on both
Well thank you! 😄 Yep, this is exactly how I did the Badmoons Kill Team armor (sorry I can't remember if I say that in the video). In case you didn't see it, this is how I did their skin. th-cam.com/video/bw0lmE_kkAg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=d4but3xTTv2LC_e9
Thanks for the awesome video, I will be definitly following your method. Might add some green highlights to the face with Nurgling Green. Two questions: what is the best way to consistently mix your contrast paints in a certain ratio? And, why do you use White Scar primer? I thought Wraithbone was generally the way to go with natural, warm, and earthy color schemes. Thanks in advance!
Hey thanks! To answer your questions 1) I just put my Contrast Paints in dropper bottles and then mix them with a an old brush on a paper plate. I twist the brush to press some of the excess paint out before rinsing it. 2) Yes, ivory is what you use if you want warmer colors. However in this case vibrancy of all the other colors was more important than saturation of the yellow. I generally use ivory when I want all colors to be warmer (blues turn more green for example). But there's a point of diminishing returns on using ivory for something like a saturated yellow. Nazdreg Yellow is already a very warm yellow, so ivory doesn't really do much to augment it (think of it like putting a warm filter over a picture of a desert vs over a snowy landscape). Also, Wraithbone would make the layers of Black Templar a very green black and the skin a warmer slightly olive skin (which I didn't want). That's a long winded way of saying I didn't want warm earth tones on everything and the warm tone I did use was already warm enough 😅.
I was expecting this video even when I didn't know I expected it. I was sad to not see something of yours in the new orruks' painting article in Warcom.
Really cool Vid thanks ❤ just started Ironjawz with the new big piggy and havent decided for a sheme yet. Would love to see a tutorial for your ice orks too.
That's actually how I did this guy several years ago: instagram.com/p/CxK-FHkuRg1/?igshid=NzZhOTFlYzFmZQ== I think I put down a layer of Cadsandora Yellow Shade first so it was a bit less burnt orange. But either way you can highlight/chipping highlight using Skrag Brown or even Tau Ochre.
Yep, sadly no start to finish video though. They were done when I was getting back into painting in 2018, but I do have my color recipes here: ko-fi.com/post/How-to-Paint-Icejawz-C0C139LGA Contrast didn't exist at the time. Nowadays I would just apply Space Wolves Grey & Apothecary White Contrast (1:1) over white for their skin. And I do have a Contrast Paint example for ice here: ko-fi.com/post/HOW-TO-PAINT-ICE-IN-3-STEPS-T6T7HXOCF
I hade the exact same idea! I used the Brutes from Warhammer Underworlds as the basis. Weird Boy: instagram.com/p/CRapbkVn0FS/?igshid=NzZhOTFlYzFmZQ== Big Mek w/ Kustom Force Field instagram.com/p/CP54I02n0cJ/?igshid=NzZhOTFlYzFmZQ==
When painting this yellow (which i love the color of) onto the more flat and smooth 40k ork armor, its easy to see the brush strokes after its dried, any tips?
If you're doing it on large flat smooth surfaces, it's easier just to paint it with Imperial Fist Yellow and Shade with Gor Grunta Fur like in the following video on painting yellow:th-cam.com/video/xEcNnCYHVFM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=9y83ULF6bSSdakxx The end result is pretty close to Nazdreg Yellow but smoother application. Alternatively, if you want to stick with Nazdreg Yellow 1) make sure you're using medium in it to spread it around 2) Check out how to make Contrast Paints smoother in this video (skip to the 5:00 mark) th-cam.com/video/altHjuzV7_s/w-d-xo.htmlsi=uPpbA8uUBfkNIQlx And as a finally, you can try stippling Yriel Yelllow over the surface. It gives a more worn look and breaks up and brushstrokes.
If you mix Citadel Paints with Contrast Medium it's just going to be like mixing them with Lahmian Medium except it won't flow quite as much nor be as transparent. What I mean is that the paints will be slightly thinner, but they're not going to give you the same "Contrast Paint effect" due to the pigmentation of regular Citadel Paints. You're better off mixing them with a thinner medium (such as Lahmian Medium) or water as there isn't really a benefit for mixing them with Contrast Medium.

Aw well thank you! That's so kind 🥰

Firstly let me say that this tutorial is awesome. I'm looking to emulate it how long roughly did this mini take ish
Thanks! This was one of the few I actually timed. It took 2.5 hrs including dry time and basing (I did speed it up with a hair dryer).
Your videos rock. Simple techniques, great results. Thank you!
Good for smudging eye shadow and makin dem choppas sharp
Your Ice Jaws is what made me follow you in the first place so it’s nice that you’re going back to the Iron Jaws
Very nice your easy to follow the model looks great
Thank you for the tutorial Darcy, I was among those who asked for a tutorial for the Kommandos and this coversa most of it!
Hey! I'm glad to hear it. Sorry I didn't have another box of Kommandos, but this was exactly how I did their armor.
Ironjawz gonna krush you ! Excellent work ❤
Great Video! Thank you for sharing

I love her Iron Jaws

I remember playing a little skirmish game against your Ice Jaws with my Stormcast! They were gorgeous!
Was that at the Warhammer Layton store!? If so, that was my first game of AoS 🤯.
And thank you!
Haha yes it was. @@DarcyBonoCreations

Aw, yeah I would have loved to get the new Ironjawz, but ah well. They do send me a lot to paint so I'm not complaining 😄
@@DarcyBonoCreations I'm shaking my fist in fury right now, totally alone, in silence, to complain in your name.

If I had the opportunity (and possibly had more bits) I'd like to convert some Orruk Ironjaws into 40k Orks
I hade the exact same idea! I used the Brutes from Warhammer Underworlds as the basis.

Hey got here due to the algoritmo gols. Nice work
Thank you! Glad to know I'm in their favor atm 😄
What do you think of green primer ?
It's fine if most of what you're painting is green. But you won't be able to use Contrast Paints with it.
Nice, but no yellow for me, thanks. I’m a heretic paint wise. 😊
Honestly I'll probably go orange with mine 🤔
