How to Speed Paint Metallic Red Blood Angels 

Thank you!!! The weathered schemes just work so well for the hours heresy I think as it adds so much character to the models that you just don't get on the 'evy metal style of crisp edge highlights. And, as you mentioned it is far, far faster to do.

Right? I was a bit skeptical at first as well because every painting instinct I have says that eyes should contrast the color of the armor, not match it. But I was heavily inspired by the Astartes series on warhammer + for this squad and they have red glowing eyes, so figured I would give it a try. Glad I did as I think it really worked out.

I think it looks a lot better than having the eyes in another colour.

The Scale 75 metallics are hands down the best I have ever used. Highly recommend picking them up!

Would be appropriate for the Alpha Legion! And thank you, I have been meaning to do a video on "highlighting" with a hobby knife for a while now so figured I would give it a try.

Thank you!

You could pretty much take this exact same process and swap the reds for teals or blues/greens and have a fantastic alpha scheme!

Thanks! Try to get out one a week!

No problem! I love candy colored knight schemes. And that reminds me that Ill need to do a video on how I paint my Vyronii knights soon.

Agreed, its always shown as highly reflective in the forge world color plates

One of these days I really need to do a video on "painting with hobby knifes"

​@@AmnioticlyTanked I found your video because I'm planning few models in this scheme, but with Molotov Liquid Chrome and Schmincke AeroColor candy flame red (applied with brush lol). I plan to roughly follow Marco Frisoni Blood Angels "Angels of Death" tutorial. Shiny and chrome. On the side note, mainstream miniature painters rarely mention companies like Molotov, Golden, Schmincke, Montana or other professional art supply producers, shame. In my city, Copenhagen, a 400 ml can of professional graffiti Montana Gold series, low pressure, costs $6 dollars, while Citadel spray $18 dollars. And professional street painters won't even touch Citadel with 10 meter pole, it's not even close to Montana with quality. Pure madness. Graffiti spray is an amazing primer for plastic. For the same price you can buy 3 colors and spray base layer, 45% degrees and top zenithal angle in one priming session. If you paint an entire army, it really does make a difference.

@@emceha I''ve actually been using Montana gold recently for some terrain projects and have been really enjoying them. For some reason I never though to use them for minis, but after looking at their website I might need to change that... There is a huge range of colors and I think you are right that you can get three colors, hit the mini with an oil wash, do some sponge chipping, and have an army done in next to no time. Saying that, I think it would make a fantastic video - so my question to you is, what chapter should I do?

I think this red next to colbalt blue of the Ultras would look really damn good!

Thank you!

Thank you! I've been meaning to do a video on "candy colors" with out an airbrush, but I absolutely think its possible with out an airbrush. I still need to experiment, but I would try to rattle can a dark > light silver and then apply the contrast/transparent paint over that. The other alternative is to use some sponge chipping to build up the metallic volumes before applying the contrast paint.

Thanks! They are much more subdued that most you see and I think an army of these is going to look really good on the table top.

@@AmnioticlyTanked Absolutely, these look fantastic! Bright red does not do the 9th justice, and I think these are gonna be a standout on the table because of how different (and better) they look.

So I was actually thinking about this the other day, as it might be fun to paint a marine from each legion in metallic colors, and I was thinking that a blue + silver base coat with a bright silver highlight could work. Could then do a very thin layer of white ink to really make it look white as well?

Vallejo gloss varnish thinned down 50:50 with vallejo thinner.

Got it!

So, you haven't watched yet, you lied about posting later, or RU-vid is hiding comments? 😝
