It's a crime that you made a way that I could paint as well as you. Not only are you good at your craft but you're also a good teacher that's very rare
Nice video and recipe! Something I struggle with is understanding which colors work together. From what I watched, it looks like you picked grays that are in the "cold" or blueish family. That helped spice up the black final color. I wish I had the eye for knowing which to test and try to get results like that. Super helpful JH. thank you!
@@lovemysi07 One way you can approach colour and train yourself is thinking about contrast, particularly light/dark contrast, cool/warm contrast, and, by extension, complementary contrast. Use those to contrast model vs. base, eye lenses vs armour, weapon vs. armour. That should be a good starting point for coming to grips with this topic. Similarly, look into primary, secondary and tertiary colours in colour scheme concepts.
This is amazing! I’ve been doing almost exactly this with drybrushing two tones of greys and army painter gravelord grey for Deathwatch, but the volumetric touch with the smaller Drybrush is such a great touch that levels it up, I’m def gonna use! This was honestly just so encouraging that I’m on the right path!
Normally, I’m annoyed when there’s a lot of ads, but you have four minutes of excellent painting advice and the rest is shilling, and, to be quite honest, I’m not even mad. You deserve it! This is incredible!
Is there anyway to prime in grey first and use a black legion contrast maybe? Or do I really need to buy black primer? My budget is limited rn- thanks!
@@BattleBrotherCasten you should be able to just paint over the primer with any black. i paint a lot of dark color schemes and always start from cheap grey primer and often end up just blacking out the whole model as my first step. its fast though because you are just covering the whole model so no neatness needed. Honestly even if you use black primer this step is likely something you would want to do anyway, to make sure you are starting from a solid color with no lighter areas in deep recesses
Im still thanking you for that Skink skin tutorial still! That cyan blue armour on my Chaos Astartes is beautiful, thank you for simplifying the process!!!!
I've always been someone that has dipped in and out of the painting hobby for years and I have a few boxes of unused GW models that I do want to eventually paint. This tutorial is just great for a novice like me, and I love how it's only 4 colours and basic techniques.
Always amazes me when you show a technique which isn't quiet obvious. At first i think nah I don't like that, this isn't looking good. But then, the last step comes and everything before just fits together (like here when adding black lotus) and it looks magnificent. Thank you especially for this tutorial. I find black armor one of the difficult colour schemes, since without proper highlighting details can be missed.
I got this technique from Midwinter Minis a couple years ago. Black base, several lighter grey highlights and then one coat of black templar. Beautiful easy black for any black shrouded miniature as a nazgul or a AOS ghost boy. Really cool effect.
Honestly, an amazing video with solid advice for a beginner painter. A great way for folks to get an army on the table that could be adapted to a lot of color schemes, thank you!
Wow! What a fantastic tutorial! I play Dark Angels and have been wanting to add some Ravenwing to my army and will 100% be using this tutorial. Thank you!
Absolutely love your tutorials and have used these techniques on multiple models now with great results too! Keep up the amazing work and I look Forward to seeing what you bring out next!
I’ve been trying to figure out ways to make my iron hands look more interesting so this actually might help a ton to make them more interesting to look at
That was fucking incredible. Ive been trying to figure out how to handle black for my shoulderpads for the longest time and you made it so simple. I love your use of drybrushing. I typically see people just use it for basing but your precise application is just so much more fun
Sadly i don't have either of those other colours but i do have black lotus and medium. This is so easy to do and looks amazing and would be perfect for my oathbreaker paladin
@@audreyleblanc8859Eh not really, if someone gives a recipe like this it's best to follow it. Already tried to substitute colours before using ones people recommend and I'll never do it again.
The great thing about this technique is that if you do it by watering down the paint to begin with, you can do two layers at each step, it's still quite quick, but you don't see the drybrush effect as harshly, and gives an amazing tabletop finish :)
Just tried this and the result is fantastic, thank you so much Juan! - do you think similar steps and colours could be follow to paint a black vehicle ?
This is amazing. I just started a Black Legion army to get back into 40k after about 15 years, and I was inspired by a Black Templar model I saw online with red edge highlights that gave it an infernal look. I can't wait to try this method, it looks like it'll give a much softer effect than my hard edges.
I’d love a more in depth look on how you approach underpainting and priming! Question; when you prime white (for contrast) through airbrush, how do you make it smooth and what primer do you like best?
I’ve just tried out this method, but I feel like black lotus looks very green. It doesn’t look like that in the video at all. The transparency is just right, but it should be bluish or neutral in tone imo. Tried out using black Templar, leviadon blue and contrast medium mix on the next model, but will have to redo it. I need way more contrast medium for the contrast paints. I also probably should’ve tried just black Templar without the blue.
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Agree with the "minimum" part - I tried your technique out and did a 1:3 paint to medium mix and I think the opacity of the Black Templar is still a little too strong. Wanted to try and use a GW paint since they are generally more accessible AND I know they don't reactivate if they get wet (a la Army Painter speed paints). Not sure about the Vallejo express paints, but worried about finding out, lol.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!! I tried this on my tyranid model and this works even better because of how heavily textured and sculpted they are. Thank you!
10/10. Just gave this a go on a couple of test models and key thing for me is that the xpress colour will NOT cover up a lazy drybrush job. Getting the drybrush stages right is the most important and difficult part of this, but the finish and tone of the black lotus is fantastic
I’ve tried twice and my marine keeps coming out blue. He looks great but not like a BT more like a night time stealth marine. I believe I matched the degree of dry brush coverage but the 1:1 x press mix doesn’t seem to make it black enough more dark grey
I was totally convinced that I want a Exorcists army… and now you’re coming with this beauty! I was suspecting that this type of painting strategy was going to give great results, but it’s great to see it in the „digital flesh“! Excellent video!
Thank you Juan Hidalgo! I've been staring at my newly assembled Black Templar crusader squad and trying to figure out how to quickly get through them and maintain quality. One more question about this technique how would you approach this with an airbrush?
Prime Black Airbrush Thunderhawk Lightly airbrush Fenrisian, mostly just the spot highlights Drybrush Fenrisian to catch edges Apply Black Lotus by hand, you can use airbrush but hand will give you the best results
@JuanHidalgoMiniatures will try with some different scale 75 colours to see what effects I can get when they arrive, or on some test models. This would also be great for doing black battletech schemes too
Love this recipe, and I just got my hands on the xpress range, so these videos showing how to use them are great! I think I may try this with green dry brushing to make some fallen/risen dark angels.
Thank you so much I have been trying to find a black armor color scheme like this! I have been zenithal highlighting and do so many extra steps can't wait to try this method out!
No editing on the photo, but the studio lights I use for filming are VERY strong so you can see everything with great detail and that can cause that effect.
What an amazing video. It is one of those cases of "trust the method". Without the context, the armor looks too grey still, but then when all the other colours ar eadded, it looks amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Such great timing, I'm about to paint a squad black and I was looking for a quick and awesome colour scheme, thank you fir the very easy to follow tutorial
Great minds think alike I guess; I settled on almost this exact recipe after some experimentation, but applied with airbrush and using black Ghost Tint instead of xpress color (which didn't exist at the time) and some manual highlighting. I think this might be faster, I'm keen to try it out to see which I like better. And, you know, eventually paint the actual army sometime in the next couple decades...
Thinking about doing my chaos marines in a blackmetal scheme. All black armor with some silver accents and white helmets, with the corpse paint designs over their eyes
I too was skeptical about this video, but now I what to go back and RE-DO my SM faction that is based off the Black Templars(the Dallas Star -LMAO, really, it is). I just used gold, green and black.
Do you think it would work as well to do the thunder hawk blue stage with an airbrush, dry brush the fenrisian grey, and then use oil paints to black line/pinwash to establish the shadows again. Before applying the block lotus with an airbrush as well. Just thinking that might work better and be quicker
I’ve tried this recipe a couple times but I can’t get it to come out right, it always reads as blue under the hobby light. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong, but I can’t say for sure yet I have some xpress medium on the way . I’ve tried a 1:1 mix of black lotus and lahmien medium and plain old water but both of those make it very transparent and the undercoat shines through very strongly. I’ll try again once the xpress medium is here
Id suggest dry brushing with eshin grey and celestra grey, they're both more neutral. Thunderhawk blue and fenrisian grey have very strong cool/blue hues in them

Never doubt the messiah

Incredible tutorial. Struggled to find a decent recipe for Black armour. This one is by far the best I’ve seen. Great work!
Thanks!!
Juan, I’m painting a Black Templars army… so now I won’t have to paint them blue 😊😊😊
Good
It's a crime that you made a way that I could paint as well as you. Not only are you good at your craft but you're also a good teacher that's very rare
Nice video and recipe! Something I struggle with is understanding which colors work together. From what I watched, it looks like you picked grays that are in the "cold" or blueish family. That helped spice up the black final color. I wish I had the eye for knowing which to test and try to get results like that. Super helpful JH. thank you!
Happy to help.
Not everyone has that eye for colour, just keep practicing and painting
@JuanHidalgoMiniatures this is also why your videos are so important to the learning community. Keep making them and helping us develop these skills.
@@lovemysi07
One way you can approach colour and train yourself is thinking about contrast, particularly light/dark contrast, cool/warm contrast, and, by extension, complementary contrast. Use those to contrast model vs. base, eye lenses vs armour, weapon vs. armour. That should be a good starting point for coming to grips with this topic.
Similarly, look into primary, secondary and tertiary colours in colour scheme concepts.

Yes, that is correct

Thank you Juan Hidalgo! I've been staring at my newly assembled Black Templar crusader squad and trying to figure out how to quickly get through them and maintain quality.
One more question about this technique how would you approach this with an airbrush?
Prime Black
Airbrush Thunderhawk
Lightly airbrush Fenrisian, mostly just the spot highlights
Drybrush Fenrisian to catch edges
Apply Black Lotus by hand, you can use airbrush but hand will give you the best results

black templar ,eventually mixed with contrast medium, I suggest you to thin layers

@JuanHidalgoMiniatures will try with some different scale 75 colours to see what effects I can get when they arrive, or on some test models. This would also be great for doing black battletech schemes too

Basically a slap chop variant.

Your method would be faster for vehicles though, maybe a hybrid technique could be the ideal solution
Thinking about doing my chaos marines in a blackmetal scheme.
All black armor with some silver accents and white helmets, with the corpse paint designs over their eyes
Nice
I wonder if you can also apply this to guardsmen or Krieg, but also make their gear (backpacks, belts and straps) stand out in some simple way?
Take a look at my Slapchop video to see how you can apply this to minis with different colours and textures
I too was skeptical about this video, but now I what to go back and RE-DO my SM faction that is based off the Black Templars(the Dallas Star -LMAO, really, it is). I just used gold, green and black.
Nice colour scheme!
Do you think it would work as well to do the thunder hawk blue stage with an airbrush, dry brush the fenrisian grey, and then use oil paints to black line/pinwash to establish the shadows again. Before applying the block lotus with an airbrush as well. Just thinking that might work better and be quicker
I’ve tried this recipe a couple times but I can’t get it to come out right, it always reads as blue under the hobby light. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong, but I can’t say for sure yet I have some xpress medium on the way . I’ve tried a 1:1 mix of black lotus and lahmien medium and plain old water but both of those make it very transparent and the undercoat shines through very strongly. I’ll try again once the xpress medium is here
and?
Id suggest dry brushing with eshin grey and celestra grey, they're both more neutral. Thunderhawk blue and fenrisian grey have very strong cool/blue hues in them
I’m tempted to pick up the Sisters combat patrol box but the black armour was putting me off… this might be the push I needed!
