@hades67618 Год назад

i am so mad lol. i just got done painting a whole mortal nurgle army with the "slapchop"(cant remember the other name for it) method with almost all contrast and one of the things bugging me was metalics. i was putting lead beltcher, retributer etc and was like "dang im covering all the highlights from the first step of this..." it never accrued to me to just dry brush them on. just shows how much i still have to learn with painting. great video and im deffinitly going to use this for my blood knights!

@GamingMediocrity 3 года назад

Love it. Got a head from an ArtelW vampire/gunslinger model I bought that'd look amazing on these Knights. Sadly, these are so expensive (even second hand...) that I doubt I'll ever get the chance.

@fjdexx 3 года назад

Wonderfull Mini.

@willfeen 2 года назад

I am starting with Monument Hobbies (MH) dark grey primer, then MH metallic silver/gold drybrush. Then, I have exclusively red-blue-yellow MH 'Transparent' (Contrast) paints, which I will mix to create my colors, adding varying amounts of Citadel contrast medium. I think I can make a Wash that way (like your thin blue "shadow"). I will layer them in several coats. Additionally, I think I will glue the whole model together (shield too) before priming and painting. This is my first serious effort; your instruction has inspired me, though I'm clearly on a budget. Your advice will be so much appreciated!

@paulbaker5256 3 года назад

Really good result! For the caparison cloth I’d have been tempted to start from a dark base coat like Night Lords Blue or maybe even Corvus Black, then dry brush with Incubi. Starting with Incubi then going up to Thunderhawk is just a little bit bright for me, but that’s my own taste. Love the tutorials, keep them coming!

@ArtisOpus 3 года назад

Completely valid dude, I could see that working nicely! Thanks :)

@chalkdemon8019 Год назад

Considering NightLords Blue myself. Appropriate for Vampires right?

@simonleach6632 3 года назад

Awesome looking scheme dude, I think the gold undercoat makes everything look a little too warm and perhaps a little bit alive for me, but thats just personal preference, it still looks super cool!

@tombrand236 3 года назад

Would love to see your approach to an alt custodes scheme using a contrast mix over metallics like you did here

@ProrokLebioda 3 года назад

Best idea when working on an army using this technique is to make separate mixes (in their own bottles, dropper bottles are fine for this) just to keep colors consistent. Having a recipe is okay, but if someone doesn't paint whole unit in one sitting it's good to have mix ready. It also helps with evaporation. Great tutorial. I need to get back to drybrushing for now, as I can't be bothered to setup my airbrush booth. I've decided to go with LRL instead of Gravelords (kind of disappointed that more emphasis is on zombies/skeleton hordes than on foot vampire troops, like for ex. Castlevania). If they get wave 2 with units of vampire fighters (Vyrkos Bloodborne?) I'll start an army. Until then I'll wait.

@ArtisOpus 3 года назад

You could always go with Vargheists for core/Terrorgheists, if you're looking for the non-decrepit vamp army? Yeah, mix bottles are great, always used one on my mixed order for the turquoise glaze, invaluable!

@masver2424 Год назад

Amazing video! great tips what primer do you use?

@perche26 3 года назад

What colour have you used as a base colour for priming before the first coat of retributor gold?

@ArtisOpus 3 года назад

Hey Miguel, it was a chaos black prime, I filled in the gaps with Monument Hobbies primer - which is great. I may have put a light layer of huldra blue over this... which was a complete waste of time :D

@riccardogarzelli 9 месяцев назад

I would have started from a Tinny Tin Vallejo basecoating, followed by the drybrush, it gives it a better finish in the shades areas, for the rest: great idea for the blu glaze on red

@WithinWicked 3 года назад

I appreciate the technique, I actually have a box myself and am tempted for a quick paint to boost the spirits to battle the tedious layering Gods. I wish more attention was paid to details here tho! Would've made it more comprehensive.

@KillyBones 3 года назад

Another amazing paint job legend … I use my M series brushes to edge highlight 🤫

@ArtisOpus 3 года назад

:D So does Angel, I think he's not doing a very good job of keeping it secret 😅

@Felizwerg 3 года назад

This looks fantastic :) If I put a base coat on a mini without dry brushing, just diluted paint on a brush, how to best make sure it won't end up being blotchy? Especially for big minis with big surface parts. I am not sure how to best apply the paint evenly😅

@Blazeillustrator1978 3 года назад

I like using the blue to darken the red, have you tried using a green wash/diluted contrast in all the shadowy areas before you do the contrast red and it will really darken those red shadow areas.

@Firebirddna 3 года назад

Hi. I did attempt to follow your steps, albeit not using a branded dry brush. I should have kept the Lance's separate as i did the shields. Army painter glistening blood did a good job of adding a shine as a glaze over a mix of Khorne red/contrast medium, cause that's what I have on hand. Dry brushing is definitely different.

@ArtisOpus 3 года назад

It takes some time to adjust dude! Grab a Medium D/a set and see if it makes a difference

@ArtisOpus 3 года назад

Did you varnish after? Thanks for the support!

@Firebirddna 3 года назад

@@ArtisOpus no. I'm not actually finished with any of them. Just experimented on the shields using the various reds I do have to find a combo I like. I'll get there eventually.

@jangohring9301 Год назад

Hey whar color are the basecoat from the clothes , huldra Blue are to dark?

@Pyre001 3 года назад

Would this work for a black metallic look? Drybrushing up bright and then using a dark Contrast such as Black Templar?

@TheVirtue01 8 месяцев назад

Hey man, I love your work! Just wanted to ask, what colours do you reckon I should use if say I wanted to have blue armour for my blood knights instead of red.

@ArtisOpus 8 месяцев назад

I'd say just pick your favourite blue, but maybe add a little purple to it, in the first stages at least to keep things deep and regal

@travisdelucia3184 Год назад

Excellent, brilliant - I liked this back when I was painting blood knights! Never seen a paint scheme like this before. Now I'm wondering if something similar would work for my blood angels army I am building. Perhaps with a bit of a brighter contrast color choice? Let me know if you have any tips :)

@ArtisOpus Год назад

Hey dude, it could definitely work! Lighter colour *and* lighter base, the base is what punches through as well as setting the tone, so if you go lighter there (perhaps mid tones, and highlights) that'll help keep your boys shiny :). Any questions LMK in another comment, replies can get lost!

@666maciora Год назад

Hi. Love Your work and technique!! As I am new to this stuff, could You tell what colours You used for cloak, leather and tail, horses legs? Thanks.

@ArtisOpus Год назад

Hi Patryk, they're listed on screen on the relevant sections of the video :). Most of the work was done with citadel's cool greys

@AlexUCP 2 года назад

Hey Artis Opus! First, thanks for you content. I'm trying to use more drybrush and contrast metals mostly thanks to your videos, awesome result for a pretty quick process! Quick question that may sound stupid but... What kind of putty do you use to put your shields, heads and other pieces you want to paint separately? I kind of struggle finding one 😅

@ArtisOpus 2 года назад

Hey, Alex, not a silly question at all! It's the putty that came with the redgrass painting handle, which I have used far more than the handle :D

@maskedmustachio9472 3 года назад

I can relate to drying paint living here in Arizona. Even in the winters I need a wet pallet and constantly have to add water every time I go back with the brush...Watching people use a regular pallet without the paint instantly drying is weird.

@Neliss44 Год назад

what basecoat was used?

@tombrand236 3 года назад

I messed my one up completely by putting a terribly over powered glaze all over it. Really not happy with it. Best to strip and start again or just respray?

@Enchaladaaa 3 года назад

How would you go about making the battle damage on the armor pop a little more than just a black recess on the horse? Great videos ill be stepping into more heavy dry brush methods soon. been using it mostly just as highlights and finishing touches.

@ArtisOpus 2 года назад

Hey dude, sorry for the delay! There's a couple of approaches, depending on how 'old' you want stuff to look, also how much time you want to spend: #1 - Brighter chips (easy, fast) #2 - Deep black brown chips, and then chip silver/metallic inside these, pushing contrast (slower, fancier, can use less bright silver and still gain decent contrast) 3# - Deep black brown chips, dark metallic inside them, bright metallic final inside these for most recent (slow, looks amazing done right, difficult, easy to obscure previous steps)

@loadedgun28 Год назад

What colour was the Prime?

@willfeen 2 года назад

@Barthaas 3 года назад

@@ArtisOpus I think it's a very close match, but to horse armour. Rider is more bright red. Nonetheless it's really amazing paintjob and it will be very hard for me to pick scheme for my BK's... Initially I just want to make horse armour black and keep rider red. Now I'm not sure anymore... I guess whole model should be red-ish to be called truly Blood Knights
