The one thing I have Learned from putting knights together magnetize the weapons and paint the plates separate. It would take just a little bit more time but it makes everything easier and if you do won’t to keep the plates on use blue tack because sometimes people don’t know how much a little bit of glue or what kind to use. Super glue as a dot will work but plastic glue will weld the peace’s together and when pulled apart might damage the model. You don’t won’t to damage something you have payed up to $100 or more so I just recommend the blue tack or paint them separate.
I had an idea. I think it would be neat to see a couple Tyranid gaunts painted in Caucasian fleshtone on their skin, flat matte, with their hard shells painted slightly lighter like the color of finger nail and then with a white edged tip. Finish with a gloss on the shell only. Like the nids absorbed human biomass and wound up looking like them. Maybe even put some blemishes like a mole or freckles or glued on hair fibers in certain areas emulating human organic textures..
I was totally unaware of this type of painting I have always made model kits I stumbled on your vids during lockdown and I am hooked on it, so many thanks for opening this new challenge too me I am now looking at buying some figures and having a attempt at painting them will follow you with great interest you are a very talented painter and your methods are inspiring
I know that the Vallejo metal colors are generally the recommendation from many people in terms of metallics, but honestly I prefer the game air/model air metallics for regular brush painting. They're inexpensive, have a very reflective finish with no graininess like you get from something like the GW metallics, and have awesome coverage. I tried the scalecolor metallics as well, and while those have a nice finish, the coverage isn't nearly as good and they don't go on as smooth as the Vallejo metallics. Definitely liking the technique of overbrushing that you're doing here for basecoating as well, I can't believe I wasn't doing it before, it just saves so much time.
Thanks very much, dude! Agree on all accounts! If you want a proper British-indy metallic recommendation to check out Dark Star paints - they're super interesting and generally exceptional 😊
I've been looking at how to add that really aged dull metal for the base of my knights. This is definately something I'm going to use. I've had a lot of luck with basing those mechanical parts in a flat brown so far.
Buy the brushes and texture-palette used in this video here: store.artis-opus.com/collections/series-d-drybrushing This video has received a lot of love, why do you think? Would you like more metallic-content? Let us know what we should cover next!
That Armigar Knight turned out well. This could be a colour scheme I might use on my Chaos Knights when I undercoat them sometime this year? The tone on your mini knight is good.
Totally agree. I have watched Byron's last few dry-brushing videos and am determined to have a go (even bought a set of Artis Opus series D brushes!). Brilliant tutorials.Thanks again Byron.
Awesome as always! I love how your videos are becoming more self aware in terms of the little jokes that go in the videos. One small request (and I know it's been asked before and you've kinda done it already) is an in-depth cleaning video of these brushes
Thanks so much for the support Alex😊We do have a care video but we're also planning to do a more in-depth one in the near future. th-cam.com/video/YtusgeEr3tM/w-d-xo.html
Absolutely hyped to try and use this on my Grey Knights (though I'm kinda terrified to paint them, since it's my first time painting minis and they have so many tiny details on them)
Loved this tutorial as i have all your other dry brush tutorials, i have even ordered a set of your brushes, some paints and accessories, and some 40k miniatures, i am going to try and follow your Space Wolves tutorial as my first attempt at painting anything 😃 what i would like to see would be a dry brush tutorial for white scars as that was what i had first wanted to try but had no clue where to start, keep up the good work 😄
I have a tip that I just figured out today for wobbly moving bits you take a teeny tiny and I mean a teeny tiny little blob of super glue on the joint and work the joint while it drys so it dosent dry together and if done correctly it should leave you with a still poseable stiffer joint so it dosent just fall down like a limp noodle.
That looks super nice, but I think I would stop quite early on, cover it with hairspray, then a red/brown "primer" then I would slap a paint job over all that with the salt chipping technique because this would be an awesome base for a layered chipping effect! then you can be choosy about weathering and pick out the bare metal bits to add rust effects to that make most sense and leave some shiney bits as recent damage! Damn, you got me thinking again.... Oh yeah, also, have you ever tried streaking effects like where rain has washed some of the grime out from between panels? That might look really good over a scheme like this, and its super easy to do too!
@@ArtisOpusHey do I detect you blaming someone else !!! 🤣😇 you can have the best paint job in the world but for me mould lines connections and flashing just irk me something fierce. I did however love the content and learned some new things, and I have tried many metallic styles including polishing certain parts on necrons painted with enamels !
Just stumbled onto this one. And it made me want to paint all of my knights in that colour scheme. A question though: decals, before or after weathering? I'm tending towards before.
Excellent video again Byron. Love the look of this model and wanted to say I spat my tea out with your "I do not enjoy painting wobbly bits" comment. That was a class comment. As always this is an amazingly clear and useful tutorial. Just out of interest. I notice your brushes had a black tip. I guess this is your identification to know which brushes you use for metallic? Is this an accurate assumption? Keep up the great work. Excellent as always and really look forward to your videos every time they release
I love the colour scheme here, the dark grey metal is exactly what I had in mind for my current project. I’ve ordered my dry brushes & I’m going to give it a go on the armour plates on my Wulfen. Can we substitute similar citadel colours in if we don’t have Vallejo/air?
Hey dude, fantastic, thanks for the support! Of course: The important thing is to pick a 'good' metallic, try and get one with these properties: Bright (we can add black to darken) Strong! (Good coverage) High quality: fine pigments (Some GW feel smoother, less grainy, you want ones like this, retributor armour is a perfect example, you want a silver equivalent)
Did you try it out yet? I'm thinking of giving it a go for my space Mariens... not too sure about the streaking grime tho but absolutely love the dark matte bluish metal look
Iron Within Iron With out Iron Within Iron Without. Hmmm Shadowspear chaos half might see paint this year after all. Could you do a Orange armor for Space Marines for example the Angels of Vigilance.
Honestly bud, it just doesn't matter: You're doing multiple stages, each of which obscures some of the last, you could always note yours down the first time so you have exact replicable steps, if you wanted a way to have an army all exactly the same. Don't want to come off flippant, and understand it's more comfortable for people to follow an exact recipe, if you rock on without one though... You will still smash it, and get an amazing result. Do let us know if you do, in another comment, TH-cam isn't great for notifications on ongoing conversations:).
That looks amazing! If you were to do a death guard daemon engine style model, like foetid bloat drone, would you suggest doing the flesh portion after the drybrushing and weathering?
I've tried this twice and it's very different from my style of painting. I need to learn how to do it first or ask someone for help. I'd love to demonstrate it😁 Thanks so much and Happy 2021🥳
Awesome video, Artis, thanks! I will be trying this technique on a 1/72 Razor Crest when I get to it. I have trouble drybrushing acrylics as they dry so quickly. Yours seem to be still workable after 20 and 30 minutes. Why is it so? Is it the brand, or the metallic content? I'd love to know!
Hey dude, I can't pin it down specifically, but I don't think it's anything to do with the brand (it doesn't contain retarder, etc). I leave it neat on a primed palette, it's chaos black which is satin, that extends working time... And with the paint not being diluted you haven't increased evaporation speed, neat until used is safer, much like a traditional artist's palette :). The palette itself is impregnated, but the prime is recommended in addition. I now use the XXL redesigned one, it's got more flat space for traditional use, it's on the second page of this link :) store.artis-opus.com/en-de/collections/series-d-drybrushing Any more questions let me know in another comment, not a reply, they get lost :)
This made me want to give my Necrons some love. As a video suggestion, I'd love a video of how you clean your Series D brushes. As a side note I'm considering putting an order on the Series D kit, but would love to know if you've got any sort of estimation on delivery times to Sweden for such an order if it was placed tomorrow (14/12). From one drybrush addict to another. Keep up the good work!
Like you I dislike painting "Wobbly" bits but then as I paint on the sprue, this tends not to happen. And yes there will be some out there that find that an abomination, painting on a sprue then having to match up afterwards but it's how I achieve the effect I am after. Also I tend to paint metallic with rust effects saving on multiple steps - maybe you should try it and see if it suits your needs? Cheers.
It's your kit, paint as you feel and certain techniques cross over if its miniatures, planes , tanks or cars. And yes I get the painting on the spruce bit, I had one guy in a group tell me " you shouldn't paint on the sprue" I told him you do it your way and I'll do it mine, lol not in that group anymore. I paint miniatures and planes, did two tanks recently as a change, new skills learnt.
@@ArtisOpus Im trying to paint up this awesome steam punk dragon . I would love to see you use more different colours and techniques for metal in the future!
I absolutely love the cool metal look you got! I'm curious, should you use a separate brush for working with metallics? my concern is some of the metallic flakes getting stuck in your bristles and turning all your future projects metallic. kinda like how if you're layering, everyone says you should use a separate water jar to keep the metal flake out of your non-metallic paints.
I should do, but don't always... I clean my brushes as I go (dampening pad, texture-palette) and it makes a really big difference. If you ever see me using a brush with a black dot on the end... They are the ones I reserve for metallics only, I just don't always remember :)
For other viewers, if you want it really battle worn, consider different colors on parts, like the top access panel being brighter as if it had been replaced, so is newer. Also leave pieces off, like a shoulder panel that was lost in combat, this is why if you find good WW II German tank models, you will see missing panels on the sides, or fender parts.
Was that dry, broken dirt texture part of the base when you printed/bought it, or do you have a technique for creating that yourself? I mostly do dioramas based around hot wheels & die cast star wars ships and have been experimenting with techniques to get that look, but haven't quite nailed it yet. If it's something you did, it'd be dope to see how it's done! Either way, this turned out awesome!
Just found this recently and it is as awesome and inspiring as always, Byron, thank you for this content! 🙏 Could I ask you for tips regarding choice of blue paints to replicate the GW Boxart for House Terryn? 🤞🤓
Hi Amazing tutorial, One question: how would you suggest to add color to the shoulder plates (for example Red) and at which stage of your process? Like a contrast paint would do the trick? Thank you!
@@leviatano91 No worries man, always best to ask! We have a few videos on red, check out the vampire one to see how you can use contrasts over metallics :)
What if you used gold-leaf instead of painting it gold could you still doing everything thing else in the same order or would the gold-leaf seal mess things up?
Hey dude, you absolutely can! NMM is all about the placement of the highlights/shades/midtones, and you can stipple/drybrush that :). Check out our latest video, there's even a contrast slapchop method for gold :)
Hey dude, can you provide a timestamp? We'll help you out. You could just be talking about Vallejo black paint, if it's for the weathering step? Please ask in a new comment, YT isn't good for notifications!
I like true metallics. I'm glad you do too. this big fella looks awesome! Do you treat the air silver paint like a pre watered down paint when not using it in an air brush?
Can this be achieved with Vallejo Metal Colour as well? I have 3 silvers in that range, and I have 3 in the much cheaper Game Colour as well. The Metal Colour is the highest quality metallic colours I have though. The Vallejo air that you've used looks amazing though. I imagine I can get a similar effect with the Metal colour as well. I bought the metal colour as it can be used to make glazes from. I just hope it;s good for this sort of thing as well, as honestly I've bought so many metallics paints now, I'd hate to have to start buying even more. Although I'd only need the one air brush vallejo for this (the metal colour is air brush paint as well though)
Hi, very nice video, i can t wait to receive my imperial knight in a few weeks now ! But I have a question, what is the thing on the top right where u put ur brush in ? I m not quite fluent in english, so u might said it but i didn't got it, sorry about that !
Touch Dry. That paint is thinners based so it doesn't really dry for quite a long time. You can usually rub it off within a few hours or even longer with a bit of odourless thinners.
Really awesome video and given me some ideas for some of my own big vehicles :) Would you go in at the rivets and lower sections with some of the AK rust deposits to add even more weathering and contrast with the super bright orange of them or would that take it too far? I know that going too far is always a risk when throwing a load of weathering materials onto models. Also, I assume it would have come out just as well if you wanted to use cassandora yellow or iyanden yellow instead of retributor juice?
The one thing I have Learned from putting knights together magnetize the weapons and paint the plates separate. It would take just a little bit more time but it makes everything easier and if you do won’t to keep the plates on use blue tack because sometimes people don’t know how much a little bit of glue or what kind to use.

The blowing tip is such a good idea.
Magic, isn't it? And it's hands-free!
Best channel for this hobby in my opinion, well done 👍
Appreciate the TMM, I always love how it contrasts with the more Matt of a standard paint. Top job, thanks!
🥰 cheers!
Love what you did here! Going to try this on some necrons. Thank you for all your hard work and time! You really push the limits of dry brushing.
I don't know how we missed this! Did you test it out dude? How did it go?
Let us know in another comment :)
Thank you so much for these vids, I never thought I'd be able to come close to achieving the airbrushed looked without using one.

I have a tip that I just figured out today for wobbly moving bits you take a teeny tiny and I mean a teeny tiny little blob of super glue on the joint and work the joint while it drys so it dosent dry together and if done correctly it should leave you with a still poseable stiffer joint so it dosent just fall down like a limp noodle.
Very solid advice buddy, works a charm! Thanks :)
@@ArtisOpus yaay I help. Lol
That looks super nice, but I think I would stop quite early on, cover it with hairspray, then a red/brown "primer" then I would slap a paint job over all that with the salt chipping technique because this would be an awesome base for a layered chipping effect! then you can be choosy about weathering and pick out the bare metal bits to add rust effects to that make most sense and leave some shiney bits as recent damage! Damn, you got me thinking again....
Oh yeah, also, have you ever tried streaking effects like where rain has washed some of the grime out from between panels? That might look really good over a scheme like this, and its super easy to do too!

A question though: decals, before or after weathering? I'm tending towards before.
100% before, the weathering is a fantastic tool to tie everything together🤩

Byron put down a couple of games workshop's basing pastes to create the effect, I think he shows which ones he uses at the start 🤔
Just found this recently and it is as awesome and inspiring as always, Byron, thank you for this content! 🙏
Could I ask you for tips regarding choice of blue paints to replicate the GW Boxart for House Terryn? 🤞🤓
Another very helpful video, any plans on an orks video?
Thanks so much! Yup, definitely e need to give orks some love on this channel😁
That music has me expecting Cartman to pop up on the screen and try and sell me a house.
🤣🤣
Love these!
Going to be using a bunch of what you did here in my planned army... brb watching this again :D
Thanks so much, dude! What army do you have planned? Glad you find it useful 😊
@@ArtisOpus All mech to run about and stomp stuff. is it doable? :D
Hi Amazing tutorial, One question: how would you suggest to add color to the shoulder plates (for example Red) and at which stage of your process? Like a contrast paint would do the trick? Thank you!
Hey dude, just before final weathering or any dirtying :)
@@ArtisOpus hi thank you Sorry for the stupid question but i am Kind of a noob and the end result Is so good that i didn't want to ruin it
@@leviatano91 No worries man, always best to ask!
We have a few videos on red, check out the vampire one to see how you can use contrasts over metallics :)
What if you used gold-leaf instead of painting it gold could you still doing everything thing else in the same order or would the gold-leaf seal mess things up?
What is the purity seal that you mentioned? How were you able to wipe off the rust color with just a dry rag?
If you were to scale this up... Like to a titan, how would you approach getting the depth across a much larger area with less detail?
😂 them sleeves r living dangerously
Sure are, bought black for good reason apparently, although unhelpful with silver :D
Great video mate 👌
Cheers dude, big love, I hope you're both doing well
@@ArtisOpus thanks mate yeah we are all really good thanks hope you are too
hot damn that is good, well done once again
Many thanks, dude😇
hey Byron love your vlogs can i dry brush nmm or does it have to be painted in a normal way please ?
Hey dude, you absolutely can! NMM is all about the placement of the highlights/shades/midtones, and you can stipple/drybrush that :).
Check out our latest video, there's even a contrast slapchop method for gold :)
@@ArtisOpus thank you
Thank You for the Video! One Question, what is that dampening Pad for? A Sponge with Water?
Hey dude, it releases moisture before, during and after painting and increases quality. th-cam.com/video/kxuY2NXeI2M/w-d-xo.html
Maybe I missed this somewhere in a prior video, but what is the powder in the bottle? I don't recognize it as anything in the "paints used" list.
Hey dude, can you provide a timestamp? We'll help you out.
You could just be talking about Vallejo black paint, if it's for the weathering step?
Please ask in a new comment, YT isn't good for notifications!
Great result, did you use anything on the cleaning cloth to remove the streaking products like odorless thinner or lighter fluid?
Nah, just gave it a proper scrub with washing up liquid and soap, you could though :)
@@ArtisOpus ok, thanks for the reply
I like true metallics. I'm glad you do too. this big fella looks awesome! Do you treat the air silver paint like a pre watered down paint when not using it in an air brush?
Can this be achieved with Vallejo Metal Colour as well? I have 3 silvers in that range, and I have 3 in the much cheaper Game Colour as well. The Metal Colour is the highest quality metallic colours I have though.
The Vallejo air that you've used looks amazing though. I imagine I can get a similar effect with the Metal colour as well. I bought the metal colour as it can be used to make glazes from. I just hope it;s good for this sort of thing as well, as honestly I've bought so many metallics paints now, I'd hate to have to start buying even more. Although I'd only need the one air brush vallejo for this (the metal colour is air brush paint as well though)
Hi, very nice video, i can t wait to receive my imperial knight in a few weeks now ! But I have a question, what is the thing on the top right where u put ur brush in ? I m not quite fluent in english, so u might said it but i didn't got it, sorry about that !
When buffing off the streaky grime was it still slightly wet or completely dry?
Touch Dry.
That paint is thinners based so it doesn't really dry for quite a long time.
You can usually rub it off within a few hours or even longer with a bit of odourless thinners.
amazing...
Glad you think so! Thanks a lot!😊
Any alternative to the silver ?
Your strongest light silver :)
“I also really like drybrushing, you might have noticed” 😂😂😂 just a bit!
🤭
Amazing.
Is the Streaking Grime Mixture with the Wash 4 parts Grime or 4 parts Wash?
4:1 Light:Dark in this case :)
Really awesome video and given me some ideas for some of my own big vehicles :) Would you go in at the rivets and lower sections with some of the AK rust deposits to add even more weathering and contrast with the super bright orange of them or would that take it too far? I know that going too far is always a risk when throwing a load of weathering materials onto models. Also, I assume it would have come out just as well if you wanted to use cassandora yellow or iyanden yellow instead of retributor juice?
What is the estimated ratio of metal/blue/black in that first overbrush?
Around 1:1:1 - the black and blue are so much less strong than the silver, they kind of balance out.
