@anonsenpai6533 3 года назад

Funny enough, I just got the new Shadow & Pain box last week and have done something very similar to this with my Daemonettes using rattle can primers. Sprayed from below at an upwards angle with black, face on with a grey, and overhead with white. Then I used some Druchii violet to wash the whole model, then dry brushed with white. Now they have this great purple pre-shade and all it takes is a single layer of purple glaze to get the skin tones exactly the way I wanted them. I highly recommend experimenting with pre-shading your models even if you aren't an airbrush painter. It really does provide amazing results with far less time and effort.

Henry, do you think Tamiya White lends itself to less spiderwebbing than other acrylic products (paints, inks)?

@cultofpaint 3 года назад

Absolutely. The plastics in it and the solvent base means you can thin it down tons but still maintain lots of control. It’s why it’s been my go to for years. Tried white ink when it was getting a bunch of hype, but in my experience it’s inferior in every way for preshading.

@sarcasticlittleass 3 года назад

I used Tamiya white my first time today. After a bit of trial and error with the pressure I must say I really like it through the Airbrush. But I must say I at first thinned it down 3 parts thinner 1 part paint as you described in one of your videos but I had a better control with slighty more than 2 parts thinner and 1 part paint.

@cultofpaint 3 года назад

Nice one! We use it at a variety of dilutions depending on the task. It’s great that you can dilute so much if needed.

Another paint range to try the candy coat part of this technique with is Liquitex Soft Body paints. They tend to be more transparent than opaque, especially in the reds and blues. Naphthol Crimson is a personal favorite which I use on my Sons of Orar Space Marines in this exact way.

Before I learned about Tamiya X20-A thinner, I used Vallejo Airbrush Thinner with Tamiya XF-22, XF-20, XF-55 and XF-2 and XF-1 to build up layers for my World Eaters. I got excellent coverage and my airbrush never clogged. Tap or distilled water will definitely make your Tamiya paints split, but if your go-to thinner is Vallejo, you ought to get the same results as me with Tamiya.

@willsham45 3 года назад

Essentially how I did my salamanders, Black, white zynathol, green, yellow. Though I was using Liquitex inks. Leaves you with 2 nice ways to finish them. Fast where you just keep them shiny or slow where you add some matt medium once done you can go in and push the highlights further to really make the volumes pop.

@miguelortiz3836 3 года назад

I really love this video and is my go to for reference when I try to paint with an airbrush, specially because I'm doing Blood Angels. However I've been wondering I it would be posible to get a similar effect using Basilicanum grey or Black Templar instead of Blood Angels red for making a black model like the Death Company marines. Would it work or be just too redundant to use a black primer, this kind of highlight and then darken it with grey or black again? I dislike edge highlights in general and drybrushing but I definitely love this kind of highlight for army painting

@completelyrandomtask 2 года назад

starting with the highlight glaze first, before doing the base color makes sense when doing air brush glazing.

@GlobalLife 3 года назад

Thank you for such great tutorial! The question I've been having is how do you then proceed to do shading for individual panels or crevices without messing up the air brushing? If I have a fairly flat (horizontally) model like a space ship with lots of panels, what would you suggest

@cultofpaint 3 года назад

You could go in with a hairy brush to further refine your highlights/shadows.

@superspecky4eyes 2 года назад

Lately I've been experimenting with zenithal priming, then building up layers final detail highlights with pure white with a brush. Once I've got all my tonal values I use washes over the top to tint it to the colour I want. The only problem is, since I'm using rattle cans, you see the speckles of the paint.

The old GW glaze worked quite well for this. But I've not tried it with the two yellow contrasts. I'd be inclined to try and work from a gold base and alter that with glazes of inks/contrasts/clears.

@idiealot9958 Год назад

Really nice tutorial. I’d gloss varnished and oil washed, these models would look amazing in so few steps! Doing 40 of these doesn’t sound daunting any more. How about models with two colours? E.g. sisters of battle? Would you advice just brushing on the colour after the highlight phase, or there is some trick to speed it up?

@cultofpaint Год назад

Yeah just AB the majority colour and brush paint the other.

@CMDRJoobs 3 года назад

Another great tutorial guys - will definitely give this technique a go. As soon as you guys are able to start running classes again (hoping you pick Edinburgh or Glasgow) I'll be there! I have a couple of questions as always :-) Do you tend to use rattle cans or airbrush primers? That comment on Chaos Black at the start surprised me. And then, would you use this technique on blue (ultramarines) or does it only work on certain colours?

@cultofpaint 3 года назад

Hi Robert, we'll definitely be heading north of the wall next year for some classes. We use rattle can primers, we find they give us a better result than airbrush primer. Our 2 go to's are GW Chaos black and Halfords Grey. The pre shade works well for ultras, BUT it's worth saying that blue is such a strong colour that you can just work up from a dark blue to light blue instead.

@MentoliptusBanko 3 года назад

This video is so full of super useful info! Thanks Henry! I love the contrast paint over metallic paints effect, I've used it for my Khorne demons. I used Vallejo Metal Colors Copper and GW Contrast Flesh Tearers Red. I got quite a matte finish, almost like velvet. I like it, but would like to know why it lost almost all the snihe. Do you have any idea why?

@cultofpaint 3 года назад

Good to hear you enjoyed the video! The reason your red has a more matte finish is becasue thats the finish of the contrast paints. Whereas something like an ink or tmaiya clear has a gloss finish. if you want to bring back the shine then give the model a thin coat of gloss varnish.

@MentoliptusBanko 3 года назад

Makes sense. Thanks!

@TomWestonz 3 года назад

This is an awesome tutorial! I’ve recently just started a white scars army and I’m just hanging onto my new paints arriving (Vallejo blacks, greys & whites along with apothecary white contrast). Would your steps be the same as the techniques used above on the matte space marine?

Absolutely. But for White scars you could simply work up to white, so your preshade its actually your finished paint job. You cant hen use that as the preshade for any red bits.

@MatthewGreenUK 3 года назад

Nice video. I was wondering, what is the benefit of doing this white preshade before the red, instead of just doing red over the black? If you're deliberate with your application and build up the layers wouldn't it achieve the same result? Thanks.

@cultofpaint 3 года назад

Red is a particularly weak colour. So by using the preshade we get a brighter red than we ever could over black, as well as using fewer layers of paint, therefore improving the finish. Something like blue doesn't really need a preshade and you could just work up from black with successively lighter blues.

@voidwraithprime8521 3 года назад

I'm getting ready to paint up a Flesh Tearers army, and I think I'm going to give this method a try. The Blood Angels Red contrast over the metallic undercoat looks dark enough to be a Flesh Tearers armor, but I'll probably test out Flesh Tearer's Red Contrast to see how it looks. Do you have any advice?

@cultofpaint 3 года назад

Agreed, I think it would work great for tearers. I’d go blood angels all over then hit the shadows with flesh tearers.

@reinheart14121412 2 года назад

Hello! How do you clean the airbrush after using the Tamiya Flat White? :D Should I use mineral spirit or something? Awesome video btw!

in addition to your normal airbrush cleaner, you can use a drop or two of isopropyl alcohol or the tamiya x20a thinner.

@cultofpaint Год назад

It works fine doing it that way.

Would this work for grey armour at all?

@cultofpaint 3 года назад

Yes. But generally when doing grey armour we just work up from black to light grey. Our two recent space wolf videos demonstrate this.

How much do you recommend thinning the contrast paint? ….. and the metallics?

@cultofpaint Год назад

It will vary between paint and what you want to do with it, and your own airbrush setup. I’d recommend starting 50/50 and adjust from there.

@only1symo 2 месяца назад

Yup that worked must send you my photos of my test mini, looks ace.

@MetalCooking666 10 месяцев назад

How about using ink instead of contrast paint?

@cultofpaint 10 месяцев назад

yeah just dilute it

What PSI do you personally pre shade with?

@cultofpaint 2 года назад

25-30

@RickSanchez-1943 2 года назад

@@cultofpaint Thank you for the information and reply. Appreciate it. I learned a lot. Nice work you brought it to life!

@WalkerintheWaste 3 года назад

I keep trying this with inks but after anything else goes over the pre shade it just seems to wash off, even if I leave it overnight. I hope I can get it to work soon!

@cultofpaint 3 года назад

Do you mean ink for a preshade?

@WalkerintheWaste 3 года назад

@@cultofpaint Yeah was trying just liquitex white through your lovely airbrush as a preshade, but might have to try some tamiya.

@cultofpaint 3 года назад

Yeah give the Tamiya a go. One of the reasons we dislike using ink for preshade is that it normally dries glossy. This means that paint finds it much harder to adhere to the surface, hence it rubs off.

First time painter here. I just built my Space Marines from the Indomitus box set, plus purchased a Primaris Repulsor. I was wanting to know if you could give me your opinion on what Citadel color scheme would best fit the *Brazen Skulls* (warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Brazen_Skulls ). They are listed as a Loyalist chapter of Unknown Founding and there is virtually no information on them in regards to painting schemes. I personally like their simple design (blue and gold/bronze), but I would like your professional opinion as well.

Can't see the front and back at the same time, so just change your light source...... so now that my mind has been blown and I call into question everything I thought I knew about painting, let's proceed with the video

@cultofpaint 3 года назад

HahHa perhaps that comment needed some clarification!

i dislike contrast paint i am not hating on them but i feel like any thing that = short cuts also = drop in quality. its a personnel opinion and i am definitely not hating because i do see the appeal and application of contrast paint
