what would be a comparable Citadel paint blend for your Vallejo Green+Blue ink mix?
@@jordanharcombe84 good question
Akhelian Green
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures thx a lot 👍🏼😃
This is the best power sword style I have seen.
Great video with great explanation and relaxing background music!
Thank you!
Thanks! That really means a lot!
As I'm searching on how to paint my power weapons for the future this gem pops up with all but 1 of the paints I already have.
Simple and efficient
Result is great
Thanks! Much appreciated
Saw you on Dakka, was not disappointed! I especially like the last step - that is definetily something extra that a lot of painters do not do, these sort of small white microreflections. I wish you good luck with your channel!
Thank you very much!
The support is appreciated
Nice production quality!
Refreshing to see, when there are so many videos out there that are just unedited rambling.
Thanks! I like to make the kind of videos I like to watch myself. Glad the effort is appreciated
Pretty easy to do and usefull for any kind of miniatures ! Appreciate it !
Thanks! I appreciate you watching it 😘
Aprovechando que la mayoría de los que te ven son guiris y no entenderán esto, diré que cada vez que veo una notificación de un video tuyo se me ponen los pezones como para cortar cristal. Gran trabajo, como siempre.
😂😂😂😂 Calla ladrón, que me pongo tonto
Que trabajo tan impresionante y lo haces ver muy facil. Te iba a decir si me pudieras orientar en qué colores usar pero para una power en tonos como de fuego como si estuviera en llamas
@@beobalf seguramente haré un tuto sobre una espada que parezca que está ardiendo pero si quieres usar este mismo método yo usaría estos:
- Mephiston Red
- Evil Sunz Scarlett
- Wild Rider Red
- Lugganath Orange
- Blanco
Eso para las luces, como ves hay un color más en el proceso pero no es complicado
Para las sombras yo usaría Rinox Hide.
Después le daría a todo una capa de Lamenters Yellow, para aportar los tonos amarillos y potenciar el brillo.
Espero que sea de ayuda!
I’m giving the Lord Solar in my army the Master sword with this. Thanks.
AWESOME choice
Epic! THank you!
Happy to help!
Nice work my friend. Beautiful piece.
Thanks
Amazing, definitely going to give this a try. Thanks heaps mate
Thank you for watching!
Very nice. I've been trying to paint a full gradient on mine and blend each tiny little section, this is much simpler.
Yes, I try to make things as simple as possible
Your work is excellent. These tutorials are so useful. Thank you
Thanks for watching 😘
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures my pleasure. Really. I like to play these while I'm working on my figures. It gives me something to try to aspire to. Thank you for doing these. It's a giant help.
Hello
Thanks for this tutorial, you help me paint my Farsight Sword !!! :)
Happy to help!
Excellent! I've really been enjoying your videos. Great instructions and sense of humor.
Thanks! I'm very happy you like them, I do my best to produce the best videos I possibly can
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures it totally shows! I've JUST started making painting videos as well (I've only uploaded a short introduction so far, but am editing next 2 now), and your consistent level of quality is what I hope to achieve eventually :)
@@earh0xable GREAT! It took me a couple videos to get to the system and setup I use now, good luck with your videos I will surely take a close look.
If you need any help with editing or setup just tell me and I will do my best to help with my limited knowledge
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Thank you so much, your encouragement means a lot!
Very nice :)
Could you make more power sword Tutorials with other colours(Red, Purple) flashes and more?
Thanks! All of that is planned
Amazing. Thank you.
No, thank YOU for watching!
“You can use any white, but if you are intelligent, you use white ink”😆😂
And I stand by it
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Not arguing, the phrase just gave me the biggest laugh in the morning. Keep up your amazing work and your presentation, love the tempo, the perfect volume of the well picked background music. It’s a really nice experience
Thanks mate, it's appreciated. I take great pride in my videos and always try to make them as best as I can to the limit of my abilities and technical skills.
If you watch some of my latest work you will see, hopefully, some improvement in the video and sound quality
Wow! This seems really attainable! Thanks a lot. Just out of interest when you make your glazes, what kind of ration do you usually go for?
Thanks, I try to make my videos as easy to replicate as possible.
As for ratios, there aren't any, sorry. Each colour from each manufacturer is different, you need to learn how to do it by feel.
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Thanks, I guess I'll experiment on some Stormcast models.
That's the only way to really learn!! If you are having trouble with glazes, use Lahmian Medium to thin the paint
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Thanks. Would gaussblaster green still be suitable if I used some darker blues as I don't own the exact blues you used.
Yes, probably. But you can use Blue horror intead if it's too green
I just realized you can do a similar method but for the Necron's warpblades, for similar contrasts
In fact I have a video on Necron Weapons in the channel already and yes, it's very similar indeed
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures I realized that after I posted it because I started viewing your other videos lol
VIEWS FOR THE VIEWS GOD!!!
Gerat tutorial as always! Keep doing it! :-)
Thanks!
please Juan can you show us how you make your glazes? the difference between glazes and heavy glazes would be mist useful
I might do it in a future video. In the meantime watch Kujo's video on Heavy Glazing, I really doubt I could do it better.
ruclips.net/video/nVEHpedTct4/видео.html
Mate for someone who hates blue you wield it better than a Champion of the Emperor wields his sword
Thanks, it's my own personal hell
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Wow I didn't expect a reply,mine is purple f##k that colour
how'd you make the glazes for each color? Is it equal color to water or is it one pinch of paint three water?
If it's not clearly stated, it's just paint and water. No ratios here, each colour is different and you need to learn how to make it by feel
Text paint reusing what are the colors using
Me encanta encontrar vídeos en los que has pintado cositas que necesito 😋
Voy a probar con maccrage blue, calgar y nikilah oxide para las luces e igual talassar con gorgon green para las sombras (esto último no tengo muy claro). Mi problema ahora es que es una alabarda con parte roma y no sé cómo ponerle luces/sombras a esa parte, veamos si tu vídeo de necron blade me soluciona el problema 🤭
can't get gauss blaster green what is a good color to mix to make a similar effect
Sybarite Green with white
Very well, i want to do same sword and may you tell me? Do you mix paints for layering/glazing in this video with lahmian medium, or not?
If nothing is clearly stated I only use water but feel free to use Lahmian if you want
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures I will be try =)
Great video. I'm happy with my sword so far, just trying to see if I have the bravery to do the middle highlighted line...
Yeah, it's one of those buttock clenching moments. But once you manage to pull it off your swords will look miles better
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures I have spent like 2-3 hours on this sword so far...I am like 90% happy with it. The line could bring it up to 100% or drag it down to 0%! Any technique tips on how to do it neatly - brush size / angle, paint viscosity etc? Thanks as always, love all your videos and now Darren Latham's has gone, think it's my favourite out there.
Thanks mate, not really any tips, it's just brush control. I so it with my regular brush a Rosemary and Co series 33 size 3, just make sure the brush has a nice tip. You do want the paint to flow nicely but not too much.
JuanHidalgo Miniatures ah ok, I use that brand of brushes, I like the size one. So nervous about this!!! But it’s a growth lesson haha
It's something you just need to go and do it. Remember you can always thin down that line using the adjacent colours.
PAINT BRAVELY
so, just wanted to say THANK YOU for this tutorial, it allowed me to finally paint cool frost blades on my space wolves ! you rock, sir !
Thanks mate 😘
Great video, and you really do have the best name in the PMP haha:)
Can you tell me about/ how you made the handle you fashioned? I think it looks more comfortable and easier to manipulate than my hunk of cork.
😂😂 Thanks!
This "handle" is an old pin vice or hand drill. That's all.
It's a dreadful hand drill, but an amazing holder
hola amigo!! me encantaron tus videos. Que color en citadel puedo usar para suplir los vallejo ink?
Esto fue mucho antes de que las Contrast salieran a la venta.
Hoy en día usaría Terradon Turquoise
Hola Juan, sería posible que me dijeras los equivalentes que puedo usar de vallejo para los colores de Citadel que has utilizado? Los dos azules y el verde. Me encantan tus videos! Gracias.
Lo siento, no conozco en absoluto la gama de Vallejo. Apenas tengo un puñado de pinturas.
Gracias! Y siento no poder ayudarte
Is lorthern blue sufficient instead of temple guard blue? Or will it drastically affect the sword?
It's not as bright because it doesn't have yellow in it but it will work.
hey cool channel. very informative an educational. Did you thin down the Vallejo Game Ink's for the power sword or use them as is from the bottle?
They are applied as glazes, and that means thinning them down of course
Me ha dejado temblando el video, impresionante. Pero tengo un problema y es que no tengo esas pinturas exactas, y bueno con las citadel puede que me apañe pero con las Ink de Vallejo no se que puedo usar para sustituirlas, me podrías decir que usar para sustituir esas de Vallejo en concreto por unas de Citadel? Muchas gracias y gran video, eres un artista.
Gracias! Bueno este video lo hice antes de que las Contrast hubiesen salido a la venta, así que usaba las tintas de Vallejo para el mismo propósito pero ahora uso Akhelian Green de Citadel para esto mismo o quizás puedes usar Incubi Darkness para dar esas veladuras.
Espero que te sirva!
Buscando alguna forma de pintar la espada Dardo de Frodo del Señor de los anillos me topé con tu video, que me ha dado una idea de como pintarla pero no es el resultado que estoy buscando. Podrías darme alguna idea de como hacer dicha espada en el momento que detecta que hay orcos cerca que se vuelve azul y brilla?. Me estoy viendo tus videos y son geniales, me he suscrito al momento.
Para una espada que brilla yo seguiría aproximadamente este tuto pero usando los colores azules por supuesto:

Espero que te sirva
What are the names of the colors using with type of paint are you using to paint the sword
Sorry I don't understand what you are asking. All the paints names and brand are listed in the video
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures what kind of what kind of paint did you use
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures I don't want to stay where you're saying anything
I use Citadel Paints almost exclusively and in this video a couple of Vallejo inks.
If you are asking if my Citadel are of the Air version, they are not. Normal Citadel layer and Base Paints
How would you paint a single blade sword?
You have two options:
- Do the gradient in the edge, leave the flat dark
- Do the same, I would encourage you position the maximum light right where the blade curves for maximum effect
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures yes I like the second option. It’s really a beautiful effect using your technique! Gracias!
De nada 😘
Buenas de nuevo Juan! Me gustaría saber tu opinión sobre barnices. No se si barnizar mis minis de Warhammer por riesgo a perder color. En caso que seas partidario, que barniz me recomendarías? Muchas gracias maestro!
Hola, para mis ejércitos uso Munitorium Spray de Citadel. Para mis piezas de display solo Ultra Matte the AK.
Pero ten en cuenta que el barniz de Spray es muy temperamental, usalo bajo tu propio riesgo
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Muchas gracias Juan! Al ser novato había pensado en empezar con barnices a pincel para evitar casos de los que me indicas. Eres un fenómeno!!
Un placer! Prueba los de AK interactive, can genial a pincel, mi consejo es el Mate normal para todo lo que no sea metálico y para los metálicos es complicado pq cualquier cosa les va a afectar, pero el satinado supongo que es un buen compromiso
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Seguiré tu consejo! Gracias de nuevo por tu sabiduria!!
Awesome video as usual, not sure how this one got by me :) Do you think fluorescent paints can be used in this process to enhance the contrast or glow effect? I'm tempted to give it a try but wondering if you've ever tried it before.
Not for blue, blue florescents are all terrible. You can use colours like Baharroth Blue to get something brighter
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Thanks good to know. I saw a tutorial for glowing Necron weapons using Vallejo Fluoro Green and it looked awesome...didn't think blue would be bad. Saved me some frustration, thanks. :)
Great stuff! Thanks for posting this. Any reason you use inks for the shadeing? Any other options besides using inks?
Mainly because of the intensity and richness of colours while also being transparent.
That being said, this was made before the release of contrast paints, so I would use those now. Probably Terradon Turquoise or Akhelian green
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures fantastic!!! Thanks Juan!
You’re Juan-believable!
Happy to help
Question what do I do on the other side of the sword do I flip the tones around?
Yes! Exactly. On the other side it should be mirrored. So directly opposite of a light spot it should be a dark one and vice versa.
Hope that makes sense
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures gracias
@@LionoversusKingkong de nada!
Great video! Does this technique also works for curved swords? I'm painting my Howling Banshees now :)
Of course it does! And very well too!
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures by the way, do you thin your paints with something for multiple coats? I tried regular water, but transition was quite harsh. Should I use Lhamian Medium to thin them down?
@@Bodya_CN I just use water myself but I you use Lahmian Medium or a bit of vallejo glaze medium it would definitely be easier to achieve a smooth transition.
A blue sword? What have we come to?!
Don't know man, those Space Marines are crazy
Yeah smurfs are scary, even worse than those Golden stormcast!
do warcry!
I would like to, specially for skin tone tutorials, those untamed beasts look perfect. Sadly I can't really justify purchasing them right now.
How do you make glaze or do you have to buy it?
No, I just add water to regular paint till it's very thin. If you have problems, you can use medium instead, but I use just water
Thanks I have both. I've painted alot since xmas so looking for a quick but effective approach for a tabletop style army.
@@squidge46 i would personally reserve this kind of techniques for characters if you are going for speed but it will definitely look cool and it's something that I actually do because I don't care for speed myself.
An airbrush could be a very interesting tool of speed is what you are looking for
I have a couple of charachters to do so I'll give it a try, I plan to tweek some other bits bit utilised contrast for armour with some touch ups, rather than my normal style
@@squidge46 that sounds like an amazing plan. Would love to see the progress
FW Artists Ink for white otherwise go home crying, interesting you mix green into the blue. I can't even remember what GW rocmmends instead. UPDATE: ah GW recommend Stedagon green and sotek green and greys but yours looks far better than what's knocking around their videos
Thanks! Their videos are usually very basic, they have their function but they are also a bit lacking for more advanced painters. I still watch them though!
Thanks!
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures It's got to the stage where I don't watch official GW painting tutorials for the techniques, only for the recommended paint schema for factions lol
JuanHidalgo Miniatures what would be a comparable Citadel paint blend for your Vallejo Green+Blue ink mix?
Akhelian Green probably, it just didn't exist when I did this video.
Mniamuśnie! I mean delicious! It looks greate. As usual, a very handy video.
Could you make a video about tools? Like brushes, how to choose a proper model of a brush or size, or about way of dilluting paints? For newbe, u know ; )
That is a good idea. I think I will do that as soon as I can.
Thanks!
Is there alternative paints instead of the vallejo game ink mix? Could i use citadel paints, because my local shop do not sell them anymore unfortunately.
Yes, Terradon Turquoise. Contrast paints just didn't exist when I did this
Hi, I can't seem to find just green or blue ink? Are the actual names azul blue and Verde green? Or am I looking at the wrong things aha
These are the Game Color inks, the Green and Blue simple as that.
You can also use Terradon Turquoise Contrast Paint for this.
Thanks for the tutorial I'm trying it now and so far so good and its relatively easy to do thank you 👍
Happy to help, glad it works for you
😁😁👍👍
Absolutely beautiful work, very good job on this tutorial. It is very welcoming as well!
Thanks! I really appreciate it!
Buenas Juan, veo que las pinturas que utilizas son de la marca Vallejo, puedes decirme el color utilizado equivalente al Thousand sons blue? Y el Gauss? gracias!
Utilizo mezcla de todas las marcas, pero no puedo ayudarte, lo siento. No conozco las equivalencias.
Seguro que hay alguna tabla por ahí que te ayude
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Seguiré tu video para pintar mis leones blancos de Cracia. Siguiente paso hacerme con los colores! Gracias Juan!
Un placer 😘
Would Terradon Turquoise work instead of the 1:1 mix of green & blue ink?
Yes of course
Great video. And I know you enjoy painting blue :P
😘
Man this is like the fourth or fifth video of yours ive come across randomly just scrolling. So far each of them has been amazing!
Thanks! I really appreciate it! It means a lot to me
its a shame you cant get glazes anymore...
I have a video on how to make your own, with an almost perfect colour match!
Beautifully done! An instant sub from me.
Thanks!
Awesome video! Thank you!
YOU are awesome! Thanks for watching!
Great Video thank you!
Thank you for watching 😘
I would like to ask.. What happens if you make a mistake, like accidentally painting the blue parts silver in an attempt to paint some of the sword’s details. Do you just restart the process from step 1?
no, just mix the correct colour and fix it.
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Ah I see, so if the silver for example is on the shaded side, do we just keep glazing it with the Vallejo Game ink mixe until the correct colour is observed?
No, ink is transparent. I will probably touch it up with a mix of the ink and the base paint.
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures I see, thank you 😊
Really great job
Thanks!
Glorious!
Thanks!
How would you do this with a sword with a groove in the middle, e.g. the new Dark Angels Lazarus model
You can either leave the groove dark or, the best option, invert the pattern of Highlights and shadows on each half of the groove if it's big enough, so it would be something like:
Shadow -> Light
Light -> Shadow
Shadow -> Light
Light -> Shadow
Hope that helps
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures thanks :) Ive order thousand sons blue just now as its the only paint i dont have! P.s. subscribed !
Thanks mate!! I really appreciate it, good luck!!
I think it's a bit sad you skipped over some of the import/hard parts
Its a compromise, recording requires me to adopt a position that is not 100% comfortable so I stop recording once I'm happy with the footage and finish the step.
Other times I accidentally slip off the frame while painting and can't use those parts.
I still think the steps are clear though.
Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for watching!
