I love blue, too. And I even have Juan to thank for the tip on doing a 1:1 mix of Talassar and Ultramarine Blue Contrast paints for my Ultramarines.

Very Cool video, Thanks Juan. It's very hard to get Metallics across on a video that's already reflecting everything everywhere, but you've done a great job explaining it all.

Thanks! It's SO HARD to film metallic paints

This video was a great motivator to keep on using true metallics, every video and artist you see nowadays pushes NMM and it’s a technique I want to learn but don’t want to feel I HAVE to learn in order to achieve a high quality show piece if that makes sense. Thank you for this video sir!

I think that's the thing. NMN is an incredible technique for learning shading, but I find it is far easier to get an incredible result by taking a true metallic and shading it down. I do delight walking by games workshop display cases for that reason; is often very simplistic schemes but it actually shows nice a simple scheme can look.

You are a certified MASTER, señor Juan.

I got curious painting one of my minitures up and used my Vallejo express line over my iron armour. I used black lotus specifically with the medium added, I think it was like 3 to 4 drops of medium. It gave this really nice blue tinge to the armour. I wanted to do nmm on him but I'm still a newbie to all that stuff and don't have all the paints still. The effects you can get with metallic paints looks great if you just put that tiny bit extra in.

Beautifully done!

Great. Just what I needed for my Knight.

Brilliant video. Vallejo metallics are so good. I'm definitely giving this method a go soon. Thanks Juan.

JUAN!!!! I needed this today. I'm working on a Celestial Lions chapter for my Space Marines (gold armour). I was struggling with how to highlight and shade my already epic mid-tone of gold. I'm glad I watched this before trying a different approach I was 80% settled on. Needless to say, this is the effect I was after but unsure of the technique. Thank you for sharing your talent and being an inspiration!

Blue is my favorite color!

Apparently the model color metallics are all new and all vastly improved. The Game Color ones were reused from the old Model Air range and some are good and some a bit iffy. Super excited to get them.

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures What I want is just scale75 levels of metal color variety, vallejo model air colors. Or at the very least, just a retributor armor/dwarvish gold with that same insane coverage and thinness. A sensible US distributor would also be nice: Go see how many US stores that carry the Vallejo range have Squid Pink in stock. I end up having to go back home across the atlantic to stock up!

Very helpful video! Can you comment on how you thin your metallic paints to get the correct consistency? I use mostly Vallejo Game Color and GW metallics thinned with water. If I don't thin them enough I get an unwanted texture but if I thin them too much they run into unwanted areas. Do you thin with water or something else?

@JuanHidalgoMiniatures

Ай бұрын

I use just water, if your paint is running everywhere you need to load your brush less but you are also thinning too much

If you wanted to substitute standard paints for contrast paints should you glaze a darker brown for the shadows? Or would you get a better result from mixing a dark brown into your mid tone metallic paints?

Green is the worst colour because it wants to be blue or yellow but can't make his mind up. 😂 Jokes aside, if you want to fall in love with blue, you need to get some pure pigment blues and start with those! Manufacturers add too much other pigments in the background of most miniature paints which makes them difficult to highlight, mix, shade
