Not sure if I should be grateful or resentful for this tutorial. On the one side, I've been able to see what I was doing wrong and have been extremely happy with how the blades/weapons I've been painting since watching this have come out. On the other hand, I now feel the urge to repaint all of my other Necrons who don't have this method... I'm gonna go with grateful though. Nicely done!

@JuanHidalgoMiniatures

3 жыл бұрын

There are lo ratios, that doesn't exist. Each paint is different and will require different thinning and even if I measured mine precisely, my paints are pre-thinned when I transferred them to droppers so that would be useless for anyone but myself. Even in between different batches of paints the thinning required can be different. It is something you need to figure out by yourself, that's why show the consistency on my thumb.

Have got to the stage of painting my necron character weapons, and this video will be super useful - though I'm doing mine in Yellow, not Green, so will have to try and figure out the colour recipe for that, but using these techniques! That and figuring out which parts should be light and dark on the Skorpekh Lord's massive blade!

If you do tau light, it will look more like Gold NMM than Yellow. If you want a light yellow look, you need to use orange as shadows and move away from ochres all together. Also don't use black. That's my take on it. Flash Gitz Yellow is a good start
