yeah i agree, usually corrosion goes for a much more richer and saturated colour, the whiter (desaturated) tones here really makes it look eerie/ethereal glow
CoP is the best channel on YT when it comes to paint techniques. I have literally taught myself over the last year or so with this channel and I’m pretty proud of my progress
I followed the oil-wash technique on a larger-scale predator bust I've been working on and wow... It's a really striking look in the thumbnail, but in person it's an absolutely gorgeous effect! Super credible and a lot of fun to apply. Thanks for sharing, Henry!
Lovely scheme and tutorial. Always a joy. I really like your calm and considered delivery great for imparting knowledge and instruction. I look forward to future updates.
'Veridian! Blue-green!' Otto, Beetlejuice. I think of all the artists on the tube of the you. Without a doubt you have the best green and blue scheme tutorials by far. Turquoise, blue, green, aqua are all colours i adore. The oil paint you used here is just tingly fresh dazzle to my eye balls. Could look at that all day.
Great video, can't wait to see the rest of this mini-series! Very happy I recently picked up the Abteilung turquoise to try a (admittedly, very much dumbed down) version of this 😅
Have been wanted to try this effect on necrons for ages but couldn't get it the way I wanted with the nihilik oxide effect paint will be giving this a try
Thank you for the tips. I used this method on my Screaming bell. Only I subbed Sotek for Baharoth blue because I don't have it. Was worried it would be too different but I'm quite pleased with the result.
Looks so damn good!!! So this has gotta be what my skellies get painted as! Very curious to see the end product. I’m already thinking about what else I’d add to the colour scheme 🧐
I wanted to make my skeleton horde look like the ones from the black cauldron and this is perfect! I think I'm going to use a bit more green than blue colors, but this technique/methodology is amazing! Thanks so much for the tutorial.
Brillant,actually i tested another verdegris product: Dirty Down Verdigris,very good,especially on dark surfaces,also moss and rust effect with with company,you can order directly to DirtyDown or at PK-Pro shop in Germany !
I always use Abteilung 502 oil paints for my washes and weathering. Every time I use a GW wash or contrast painting it eats through the paint under it. But I can’t complain I think oils are easier to use. Great job on the weathering effect.
I think for a weathered bronze, the effect should have more green, and less blue. More realistic for bronze imo. But ofc this is a fantasy miniature, who really knows what metals they have in the mortal realms. This looks great though!!
I'm so glad I found this and your page! you're so informative and so easy to follow along. Thank you! Q. Do you recall what gold/bronze you used as the base?
I have seen some bronze amour of Macedonians. Though all that signs of aging were removed, but color of bronze was way way darker then this one here. This bonnie have a strange look like he spill a paint on himself while painting a fence. ;)
Stumbled upon your work via Instagram and came here. Wow! To echo many others - awesome video, great descriptions and an incredible final effect! You’ve inspired me to start a skellington army! Which model is this you used please? Keep up the amazing work!
What would you recommend to varnish the effect? A matt would be correct for the verdigris, but would kill the metallic. Alternatively, satin would be great for the metallic, but not be right for the verdigris.
Well, if you are into Etymology you'll be thrilled to know, that Sansodor comes from "sans odor", as in "without smell". Probably a good hint at how it's pronounced too :)
Very interesting video! Thinking of adding this effect to my Death Guard models. Atleast up to Sotek Green, the things after that is way beyond my painting skills. And even up to Sotek Green will (probably) be difficult for me. Questions: -What is the metallic colour you're using as base? (or equivalent, since I don't have an airbrush) -Do you think this could work over Death Guard Green as well as the metallic paint?
It’s S75 Victorian brass but jut about every brand will have a good base brass/bronze colour. You’ll be fine, just keep it thin and don’t put too much on your brush. And I’m not sure about over the green, it could end up looking like really heavily oxidised bronze, bit like Statue of Liberty, could look great!
Very cool technique, I recently had an oil wash strip paint from a piece of terrain - it was the bottom of a ramp I forgot to varnish, though I use an old bit of cloth to wipe up the excess. I'm guessing when having the spirit oil wash sit on the bottom of the ramp for a bit + the abbrasion of the cloth you do need a layer of varnish?
@@cultofpaint That makes sense, with the technique I'm using I think the varnish does help though - providing an extra layer to 'take the beating' of the abrasion of the dry cloth in stead of the paint layers. I'll experiment with some less abrasive techniques, though I very much like the effect. :D
@@stephenboulton1114 the varnish does matter though, since it'l get stripped before the paint (unless you rub so hard the entire coat comes off ofcourse)
@@cultofpainthello my friend…. I’m finally starting on these, thanks for the tutorial. Just thought I’d come back, I finally ordered the Scale75 metallics (so nice)… I think the base coat was actually necro gold. I tried the Victorian brass and realized it was off, so I tried the necro and it looks spot on. Looking forward to finishing these! 😀 thanks again
@@cultofpaint Perfect! Thanks for the quick reply. The weathering looks great by the way, i may just steal your scheme once i get my hands on these skeletons :) Cant wait for the rest of the series!
amazing that you're using models from a very limited release which everybody who couldn't get are crying about just to "try new paint schemes" for what's likely to be a very easy to get general release! anyway, thanks, it looks very nice, just noticing how someone's "trash" is somebody else's "treasure" I guess
