    Yeh it actually makes sense when you think about it. I reckon most people would typically take their original base colour, and then mix that either with white or black, or with another similar colour in order to achieve the "same" effect. I guess doing the mixing on the basecoat gives us a richer 'primary' colour, so the shades and shadows actually blend properly. The first way around I've always thought results in the 'secondary' colours almost always having a very stark contrast to the basecoat. This heavy metal way allows us to keep most of the colours being use the same. Im not sure if I explained it properly...

    I remember when I first started, white dwarfs would sometimes have very in-depth painting articles on how to paint certain models. For example, when the Legion of the damned was redone (but still done in pewter) they had a wonderful article on how to paint a model step by step, far more in depth than some articles I see today. A lot of the steps they used were mixes of various colours. I remember at the time people scoffed and said they (heavy metal) didn't actually use those mixes themselves and they probably just used Vallejo. Regardless of if that was true or not, I tried the painting guide and copied it perfectly, and sure enough it was an exact match to the box art. Seeing this video, and remembering that article makes me think that maybe they did actually use the mix recipes after all.

    Honestly the slap chop and other speed painting techniques seem better served for hoards of units, not the leaders, vehicles, or hero units. Learning something new should be a focus though, as the paints themselves are changing and competition is definitely a driving force.

    I don't think i would use only "one" technique to paint a whole army. One of the best things in our hooby is that we can use sooo much techniques , wether it's sculpting, wet blending, nmm, airbrushing, oil paints, drybrusing, stippling, glazing and i certainly forgot half of them. If i had a recipy for some characters, or one or two units ? yes, sure, the result is amazing. But i can't let so much diversity disapear in my work. You try techniques, sometimes it fails, and sometimes you're proud of your work. And that feeling is awesome. At least for me.

    I think one of the most important thing to take from this video is that it's normal for things to look "wrong" or "bad" when you're in the middle of painting a model. It can be really easy to feel like you've made a mistake or gone to far, but it's not until the model is finished that you really see what you've been building

    I actually stopped painting at game stores for this very reason. I'd get SOOOO many comments from onlookers that my work looked "bad" or like I was messing something up. But whenever I showed them the final product. EVERY. FRIGGON. TIME. they were like "BROOOOO THAT'S SOOOO COOOL!!!" It's like, yeah man, you gotta let a process breathe. And to be honest it's NOT easy seeing the end from the beginning. It really does take a lot of experience to get there and things can seem really off or weird when you're doing something that will end up looking stellar.

    Its interesting that you mention painting a base coat first, which is then either highlighted or shadowed. But this was always the kind of 'classic' way of painting GW minis; basecoat, shade, highlight. Its a more recent technique to start dark and build up to the highlight and you're correct that this technique can end up obliterating mid tones and just having a mini which is all highlights and shadows, giving way too much contrast and looking odd. I sometimes paint 54mm historical models and I nearly always work this way, laying down a basecoat, which is the colour that part of the model is and then highlight and shadow. The only difference is I tend to highlight then shade to avoid falling into the trap of perceiving the base coat as the highlight and ending up with too dark a model. But either way works fine as long as you always step back and critically consider if the mini looks 'right', you can always deepen the shadows or push the highlight if you need more contrast. But it is a time consuming way of painting, the investment of time on one mini is great but if you do it right, you end up with a rewarding result; a balanced mini that really pops where it needs to.

There's a clear progression, or evolution, from what we were doing then to what they are doing now. Great video, and great results on the model.

    I would totally do an army this way. I'm currently close to half way through my first 2k point army ever (Ultramarines cuz I'm a newbie and like blue) and I've done the whole thing trying to match the box art. I just assumed that's what everyone did and now I've got half an army that I love that shows my skill progressing with each model. I don't think I'll ever get into speed painting simply because I love seeing a full army painted to the highest quality I can muster. Ninjon, love your stuff and would love to meet you one day if only to pick your brain for tips with my son who's getting into painting minis with me. Thanks for everything you've taught us.

It sounded so much more time consuming! It is also heavily requiring buying a lot of paints.... Probably not something I'll try at this point, I'll keep on trying to keep learning to mix colours. Thinning paints with water is a nightmare for me, they usually get so runny that I have a hard time using them afterwards. And I haven't found the way of adding less amounts of water yet. Gotta keep practicing!

    Man, that bit about using an anchor and moving up and down from a mix with that anchor makes a lot of sense. I've been struggling with armor that looks very flat and then just has a very out of place "line" of edge highlight that's a very different color. I'm going to give this a try! Any thoughts of just mixing whites and blacks with your anchor color to move to darker or lighter tones?

    Also, about leather: another secret shortcut to making leather not look like brown cloth is washing it with... purple. Rhinox hide and similar browns already have some red in them. A purple wash for overall shade and recess creates a "plum" tone which is evokes leather.

    I find a base of Orange Brown followed by a wash of Reikland gives a pretty good leather effect. But you’re right the reason leather is so hard to do is because it’s effectively a twotone colour.

In answer to your question if GW released an "official" 'eavy metal recipe I'd definitely try it out on at least some models. For anything that's going to tabletop in a group, straight to contrast for the shading at least.

    I've got a guess as to why they mix similar colors together as the base color. This then allows the original colors to work as accents/shadows/highlights. Extremely subtle ones at that. Since they gotta have those beautiful transitions, it makes sense to base something with the "harder colors" (mixed) as the step you don't have to re mix it later.
