I had been trying to adapt this scheme for my Tyranids for 40K since the first video. Now with the Kroxigor having plates similar to the nids’ I have a perfect example to work off of! You’re the goat.
awesome! Post pics of your Tyranids on Instagram (or the channel Discord) some time, i'd love to see them!
I was thinking the same thing for my Genestealer on my GSC army.
If you have already painted your nids I will be interested to see your work 😁.
I think this scheme looks even better on a larger model like this. So many scales though. Thanks Mr. Matt.
Yes there are a lot of scales. Hard to keep from going cross eyed! Thanks for watching Shane!
These are awesome but these are pretty much the only models I see painted up as Starborne. I'd love to see others like Slaan or some big monsters painted up this way.
A big monster/mount will be next on the docket, so stay tuned. Thanks for watching!
Holy moly this is incredible!!! Before all the highlights it looked great but those elevated the model to “Named boss” level! I think I want to try this on a troglodon model as a super powerful skink oracle summoned it to battle
Sounds like a cool idea, good luck! And thanks for watching!
I would love to see some of the seraphon cavalry in this paint scheme!
I have a Carnosaur in the pile of shame... might have to dust that off! I've been trying to think of a similar, but different kind of Starborne scheme for it. Maybe i'll switch out the blue for something different.
Love the seraphon vids. Would like to see some quick versions of other paint schemes 😊
Noted! Thanks for watching!
Absolutely breathtaking !!!👏
Thank you very much!
Great video Matt. These contrast hacks will surely help anyone looking to get into AoS.
thanks HTM!
Yes they are, i've been using contrasts for my armies from 40K and these videos are helping me with my Seraphon.
I feel like the white line recess shade in the scales would be a good place for white oil paint depending on how much of it you intend to do, also if your already busting out the oils the black lining is another good spot for that.
good idea, it might be worth trying! Oil paint tends to flow quite a bit, so you'd probably end up getting a much larger area of glow if you're not too careful. Please let me know if you try it out and what kind of results you get. Thanks for watching!
Love all the contrast work
Thanks for watching!
Learned so much from just this one vid. Thank you!
Awesome! Great to hear. Thanks for watching!
Amazing video as always! Helps get me through my week and inspires me to want to slay my pile of grey. Two video suggestions, 1) Star Borne mounts video and 2) white fur skaven please and thank you!
Great suggestions, thank you! I'm glad you enjoy the videos and hope they help you get that pile painted!
Very nice color scheme and paint job. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I would be interested to see how you would paint lizards using brown as a main color. I'm fast becoming fascinated with brown and different shades of it. It seems tricky to use browns in ways that are interesting, but I've seen it done and I'd like to learn. Great video! Hoping for you to do more lizards!
good ideas! Thanks for watching!
Found this video by accident and I wish I didn't now I want to put my skaven on hold and buy some seraphon xD the colours are beautiful
Glad to have you here! I do have a couple Skaven videos on the channel as well. But I'd highly recommend adding some Seraphon to your collection! ;) thanks for watching!
Impressed with this painting 😉😉
Thanks!
Ooohh looks amazing! Gonna enjoy watching this one! (as always with your vids!) =) Will you do one in the "standard" color scheme as well?
I might just have to! I have two more Kroxigor models, just need to decide on how to paint them. I'll put one vote into the "standard" category. Thanks for watching!
@@MattsHobbyHour I'd be insanely grateful if you did! Been trying to find a good tutorial on how to paint the Kroxigors that resembles the boxart, but they seem impossible to find, which feels odd, compared to how many people I see on different forums and fb-groups looking for it :D Regardless, keep up the amazing work, your videos are too good to give a miss, even when watching tutorials on models I dont even own :D
Really cool paint job. 🦎🖌
thanks for watching!
This is some stunning work…
Thanks for watching!
Firstly thank you for matching box art so amazingly well! Please could you do a saurus warrior next!
thanks for watching! We have a Saurus Warrior guide on the channel already, you can check it out here: ruclips.net/video/p1E0XkQjgw8/видео.html
@@MattsHobbyHour sorry I meant the base colours with the blue and ultramarine blue scales, maybe you have already, I’ll look too
@@mypointofview777 noted! Thanks for the suggestion!
Outstanding
Thanks for watching!
great stuff mate ! very nice and detailed tutorial ! keep them coming !
Thank you! will keep them coming!
It looks so good, and you make it look so easy! I’m gonna try it on the next model I paint.
Sounds great, good luck! Thanks for watching!
Very cool.
I like this color gradient from light to dark blue.
This scaly body really reminds me of your Tyranids in the Kraken color scheme.
Btw, I think it would be cool if you made some more of these in the Hive Fleet Kraken color scheme. I would especially like to see a fierce Deathleaper in that Kraken scheme, but also older models like the Maleceptor, Winged Hive Tyrant, or Tyrannofex.
Well, I could try them myself to see them, but I think it would be cooler to see them here with you first.😂
Besides these, I would also like to see how you would design a Kroot Lone-Spear or some Krootox Rampagers.
Thanks for the kind words and suggestions! I would like to revisit Kraken again too. Hopefully some time soon!
Great scheme! Any ideas of how to implement a similar scheme for Necrons, particularly the glowy bits?
I bet the scheme would look really cool on Necrons. Great idea! I think you could do a similar glow in between the armor panels. I think the glow shows up better on darker surfaces, so a very dark, almost black steel would probably be the most effective.
Make sure to share on Instagram or Discord if you try it out, I'd love to see the results. Good luck!
Been wondering how to paint starborne since the last battletim3...Thanks! 😊
Happy to help, thanks for watching!
Another brilliant video, I have finished my 4th Saurus warrior using your previous video, 1st one wasn’t amazing, but the ones following are looking really great, I’ll 100% be coming back to this video when I start my Kroxigors, thanks Matt!
Awesome! I'm really glad the last guide has been helping you. Thanks for watching!
I hope that you would do a monster like the carnasaur or the stagadon in this color scheme
got a Carnosaur in the pile of shame waiting for a video! Hopefully I'll get to him soon. Thanks for watching!
As always, great work
Thanks for watching!
Great movie!
thanks for watching!
Dude! this looks so good! I have 15 Kroxigar to paint, and a lot of saurus (30 warriors, 7 aggrodons, 2 carnosaurs, 15 guard) I'm tempted to paint with this method (but more green) but idk if i should take the time when I have 4k points worth of soul blight chaff (my main army) to paint...
this scheme does take a little time! I have another Starborne guide which is a bit simpler, and utilizes some drybrushing. Might want to give that a shot if its for a big army. Good luck and thanks for watching!
@@MattsHobbyHour I do have a big army, but I also have a lot of time... Hopefully I can turn that into something that looks good 😂😂😂
please do a lava lizard paint scheme!
Thanks for watching and for the suggestion!
awesome as hell!!
Thanks!!
I really like this scheme. Do you think it would work or with purple red and/or a green?
i think those colors could work out. Which colors would you swap for which? I think that in order for the glow to show up well, the scale color should be dark. So whichever route you go for that, I'd make sure it is dark. If you go with green for the scales, I'd use a blue-green rather than a yellow-green. A dark blue-green, like Stegadon Scale Green would work well for the skin, and I think that would pair really well with a reddish purple.
The scheme and effects look amazing, but I am cracking up that some of the recessed areas got apothecary white, then apothecary white + ultramarines blue, then ultramarines blue, then black lotus, then back to white for the glow effect
That's what's cool about this kind of paint - the layers are very thin and the more you apply, the more depth you get. Seems like it might be a lot but the end result doesn't seem too thick to me! Thanks for watching!
I wondering what color of their starbone cavalry should look like?
That's a good question! I'm not well versed in their lore, so I dont know if there might be any info in there. Maybe another glowing kind of color, purple or red? Got any ideas?
My contrast paints dry within 10 seconds and leave lines along the edges. Any idea how I can fix this?
It really makes blending look atrocious.
Hi! I'm sorry you're having trouble with blending. I'm going to share my answer from another comment here for you:
"There are a lot of variables at play and it's hard to narrow it down without being in person. I think it's one of two things: speed or not enough paint on the model. My blending in the video is in real-time without cuts, so if your painting is slower than the video, that may be the problem. The other possibility is that you're not using enough paint. Really thin layers will dry so quickly you wont be able to blend them. I would try to match the amount of paint that I'm applying to the model, and also be aware of how you apply it. When I lay down the paint, I tend to end my brush stroke in the area that's about to be blended - that way the paint in that spot is freshest and I'll have the most time to finish the blend.
I hope this helps you out. Feel free to join my Discord server and share some photos of your progress. It may be easier to help you that way. Good luck!"
@@MattsHobbyHour thanks, man!
How would you compare VGC White to ProAcryl White? Have you had a chance to try both?
I haven't tried the white from Pro Acryl yet, but from what I have heard it is very good. I bet it would work just fine for the techniques in this video. Thanks for watching!
bruh this scheme should be the base scheme in their books from GW
also oh my....... is this your first non-GW color???
@@ericheideman7512 got some Xpress color in my Squig painting guide ;) but yeah for the most part I just use Contrast
that would be cool! GW is more than welcome to reach out to me. I'd love to help them out!
also that gold, you really should check out vallejo model color air gold. that line of metallics is AMAZING
This looks amazing, was struggling to work out a scheme i liked for the Seraphon so will be giving this a go.
Can you provide a link to the primer paint?
similar to gray seer but for airbrushing
The grey primer that I use is Ace Hardware Premium Grey Primer, in a spray can. This may not be available outside the US. If you can't get this grey spray, I would recommend spraying with Grey Seer instead.
After priming the model grey, I used my airbrush to spray Vallejo Game Color White (thinned with water) from the top and sides.
Hope this helps! Good luck!
@@MattsHobbyHour Ok, I wasn’t paying close attention... I thought you were applying the primer with an airbrush. I like the Grey Seer color, but I don't like spray primers because they tend to flood the details. I'm looking for a primer for an airbrush that will work well with contrast paints. :)
No matter how much I try, my attempts at contrast blending would result in coffee stains. I even used 2 separate brushes in hopes that it would reduce the time the contrast had to dry. Is there something I am missing?
I'm sorry to hear you're having a tough time with the blending. There are a lot of variables at play and it's hard to narrow it down without being in person.

@@MattsHobbyHour great thank you. It feels like there's so much I have to take into account that it feels almost never ending. I was having the same issues trying to get proper dry brushing down
@@thatchris1626 hopefully it all clicks soon and you'll be an expert in no time!
What doesn't Magos Purple go with?
I wouldn't put it over ice cream, but it's great with just about anything else!
I only had 1 sip. Not bad.
This may have already been asked but what brush is that??
It is Rosemary and Co series 99; I use sizes 2, 1, and 0. Thanks for watching!
@@MattsHobbyHour thank you so much!!
Engaging with content!
I don't want to buy kroxigors. Stop making me want to buy kroxigors!
Get some Kroxigors! You deserve it! You know you want them! ;)
You lost me when you went for the third darkening layer on the scales. The first layer looked pretty good. I thought it was borderline too dark after the Ultramarine. And then you started with the Black Templar and i was screaming at you internally that you're just making it so dark. Maybe your eyes pick up something the camera doesn't, but you've lost all definition to me.
That and the more you have layers of contrast paint the more you lose the sculpt definition as it slowly pools and fills the cracks and crevices.
Contrast/speed paint is design to be a fast single coat solution with average look. If you are going to layer it, you might as well use regular paint IMO
@@laptitegraine1298 I don't mind the layering. The contrast paint is not that thick. It would take many layers to make a significant difference to the sculpted recesses. But they do serve as additive layers, like stacking plates of colored glass on top of each other.
Sorry to have lost you! It's very likely we have different ideas about how dark or light a model should be. I wanted the scales dark to set off the glowing effect. It may not show up on your screen very well, but the skin was looking flat and the Black Lotus layer helped define the scales for edge highlights later. The beauty of this hobby is we all have different tastes, and you can take all, some, or none of my advice when you paint your own models. Thanks for watching anyway! Glad to have you here. Feel free to join the channel discord as well, we can talk at length about color theory and schemes!
Looks pretty detailed to me idk what you're talking about really
