Hobby Cheating 140 - Quick, Simple NMM Weapons 

I have been painting miniatures over 20 years. I only recently stumbled upon your videos. In the two or so weeks I've been checking out your content I feel I have learned more that in the two previous decades. Thanks for your excellent content and your contribution to the community.

your hobby cheating series are the best tool to learn painting past the beginner level! truly amazing there is people that give such a gift for free. thanks!

Seen a lot of painters recently start doing value sketching, it’s a waaaaay easier technique for me than doing a gradual fade with layer after layer of patient glazing.

I lot about this video I would like to say, but, I'll stick with thank you Vince! You turned something I honestly thought I couldn't do in to common practice.

Really wish I would've found this sooner. Thanks for the content and your awesome tutorials, they've helped me astronomically

Nice! I will certainly give this a try on my next batch of minis.

oh wow thanks a lot! I tried it, liked it, and will do it again.

Will be doing this on some power weapons in the future. Thanks a lot! It’s obvious to me that you’re extremely knowledgeable and your videos are really helpful. My only suggestion for improvement is that you’re pallets are really crowded when you film and it can make it hard to see which colors you’re using

Very good video !! i often try to do this but i don't think i was glazing the black enough!! thx a lot !

Love to see a video on zombies faces not a lot on that purple fresh zombie skin great video mate 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Looks great and so easy when you do it! Something that would be appreciated is if you could list the colors you are using in the video :). The undershading, the glazes, the edge highlight and so on. As a non-English native speaker it is sometimes difficult to hear the exact names.

Very helpful Vince. Thanks

Mind either doing a tutorial of the paint scheme you did for your Melusai, or post some pictures with the colors you used? Please!!!?? They look SO good.

Trying to give nmm a go as I'm learning. So far, I get close, then get frustrated, then cover it in TMM, work in shadows and highlights there, then move on to next figure. I am not wicking enough liquid off of my brush, /headdesk. And possibly thinning my paint down too far. I'll get there.

Very cool, looks like my new night haunts are getting an auto upgrade ;)

Great stuff thanks

Hey Vince. I just got back into painting miniatures after quitting about 10 years ago. At that time I couldn't get the results I wanted so I said screw it and went fishing:) ur videos, holy crap, have given me techniques that have really pushed my painting.THANK YOU. Would luv to contribute if u have a patreon account. As a request can u do more of it competition level techniques, I have no plans of competing, I just want to get better

NMM is one of my greatest weaknesses, (along with OSL) but with this new weapon, I will slay my old foe! Or at least inconvenience him!

Are there cuts that I'm not seeing where he waits for it to dry, or are the glazes really drying in about a minute? I figured for it to dry completely it would take like at least 10 minutes no?

Hey Vince, I'm new to mini painting and your tutorials have really been a wealth of knowledge to me, thanks a ton! I've spent most of today trying to get this technique to work on a blue sword. Haven't had much luck with it yet, keeps coming out as, well, a blue, black, and white sword. I've thinned down my paints as far as I can get them, but it still comes out as blocks of color instead of any kind of blend. Any hints for a newbie?

Vince I'm constantly putting my brush in my mouth too lol.

Great video! Will look into for my seraphon units with potentially jade/gem weapons. What do think about red for khorne weapons (like reavers) if they have dull iron armor instead of the typical red?

Hey Vince, great video as always!! How would you combine this type of technique with the Zenithal Metals from Hobby Cheating 104/105? I want to do a Stormcast ethernals army and I am happy with the Zenithal for the armours, but I think the weapons deserve a little more pop. What would you recommend? Would NMM weapons look good with TMM armour? Any hobby cheating techniques for the TMM weapons? Thank you!!

Maybe I missed it. Do you want to prime/undercoat in the same or similar color to what you are going to glaze with?

Great video as always, I know it's Heresy n'all but one of the best "cheats" I found as far as edge-highlighting is filling up an empty pump marker (I use Molotow 2mm) with some white acrylic ink. give it a shot if you haven't already. Oh and please do Airbrush Black Power-Armour video Vince! Been staring at that damn Deathwatch battleforce box for over a year now >_

Great vid as always, only 1 thing English is not my mother language and I can't cacht the name of the 2 colors mentioned after the daler rowney white ink, can someone name it here. Thanks!

I love your videos Vince! You are my number one goto youtuber for painting info. Thanks! What mini is this? I've been tryin to find her and just can't! Please help.

i would like to know if a person use this for a single figure at all?

Hi Vince, does this technique work for nmm in general? Or mainly for weapons?

Vince, what did you say you love to use for hightlights?

Hey Vince, what was the base coat green colour you used on the blade?

So, I have an idea but I'm having trouble figuring out how to actualize it; maybe you can help. For my Stormcast Eternals, I'd like to paint their weapons as if they're glowing from the inside with a sort of blue-white light (a.k.a. the Fury of Sigmar, something like electricity but I want to make it look like the energy is suffusing the metal; so in the end, I want something like this (www.etftrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Encouraging-Signs-for-Hot-Steel-ETFs.jpg) but with a blue-white color spectrum. Its the dark edges (which in red hot steel represent cold areas and/or impurities) that I want to be able to capture, since I feel it really adds an element of visual interest to the weapons, instead of just making it a solid glow.

Good video, I'v dabbled in none metallic metal styles before with mixed resaults or what to call it, semi happy but this seems to be a pretty fast way to get a basic type of it done pretty quick, makes me interested in doing it for my next project. but probly not my current one as I'm in the middle of painting 155+ Night goblins (um.. Moonclan) hahah... I'm slowly losing my mind.. my plan is to get all of them done within a week or perhaps a little more. I'v done some custom Netters since I wanted more dynamic poses for them that I'm pretty happy with ^^ imgur.com/a/ZXcYqdl

Your videos are the best ones on YT, period. I particularly like the ones that are more on competitive mini painting side. Keep up the good work. It would be really cool if you hosted an online mini competition some day :) Also, is there a chance to see a gallery of your Daughters of Khaine?
