This is my digital tip jar if you'd like to brighten my day. No monthly subscription or anything soul binding, just a way for people to show their appreciation and keep the paint flowing. Thanks everyone!
I've received quite a few requests for a tutorial on how I paint my Icejawz icy weapons and armor...so here we are! This is a really quick, and easy, but effective way to give your minis a cool icy effect.
Good stuff. Informative and concise. Absolutely no unnecessary rambling. Subscribed.
BerserkerBryan Thank you very much! That means a lot because that's exactly why I want to make tutorials. There are a lot of good painters out there with a lot of painfully long videos. I'm going to try and keep mine short and to the point.
Congratulations on your tutorial: clear, concise and really inspiring!
This video has made me buy a box of savage orcs just to paint them in "ice mode".
Just what I needed to know. A lot easier way to get the effect that I was looking for than some of the other videos I found. Thanks.
And thank you! Glad to hear it was helpful :)
This is gorgeous and will help me immensely in an upcoming project. Thank you so much. Subbed, belled.
Thank you so much!
Great ice weapons, my friend!

Super easy and with only two paints, too! Thanks!
Wow! That’s brilliant , thank you for a wonderful and easy to follow video. Love that effect!
My pleasure! Glad you liked it :)
Wow! This is so simple yet looks phenominal. Thank you for the guide! I have a fire elemental that I think would look really cool painted as an icy water elemental with all of the flames instead acting as ice spikes. Definitely going to implement your technique and I know it will turn out amazing.
so glad i found this. simple and to the point yet very well explained! def gonna use this!
Thank you, that was super easy to follow! Your orks are gorgeous 😍
I'll be sure to link this video when I use your ice technique on my Aberrant weapons!!
Oh thank you!! I'm glad it proved useful. And that would be awesome, thank you!
Unbelievable, straight to the point nice and easy. Thank you
I've wanted to find an ice blue color for the armor of my Chaos Space Marines, beautiful job, and thank you for a great tutorial. Look forward to more.
Great! Always loved how your ice effects look
Looks great and I will definitely be doing this!
So simple, but the most impressive and stunning appearance for the ice effect I was looking for! I'm really inspired by the miniatures you had as an example, I'm looking forward to painting my own with this added flare!
Aw thank you so much! That is wonderful to hear, and definitely feel free to share pics of your own icy minis when the time comes. I'd love to see them!
So simple and by far the best look for ice weaponry I've seen, you got another subscriber :)
Thank you so much 😁
Looks great. Solid video
A babies milk bottle as a water cup nice! great job!
I found your channel, and this tutorial has helped me a lot. Thanks a lot!
Glad to hear it! I need to do an update on this recipe now that the new Contrast Paints are out. The new Frostheart paint is even better than the watered down Thousands Sons.
Hello new painting channel! Make more vids like this and they will come. Nicely done Darcy.
Matthew Walker Thank you very much for the encouragement (nice Field of Dreams reference)! I'm going to try at least to have one or two tutorials a month.
Thank you for this. I have the epic encounters frost orcs and frost giant boxes. Wanted to give an ice effect and found nothing to help, till I found this video.
Great video!!!
Love your content! Best how to guides for warhammer, so helpful!! Thanks so much for helping this beginner
Aw well thank you! Happy to help 😃
This video help me so much for my Space wolves frost weapon's.
Perfect video and very straight to the point. Other videos suggest a tray full of paints and you do the same thing with two. Love it. Thanks
Even 6 years laters it's still really good and easy to do
Badass! Keep the videos coming!
Great job, this tutorial is really well done !
Thanks for this tutorial its very helpfull
GREAT STUFF good narration and description. thanks a bunch
This is so simple and wonderfully done!
Thanks! Glad you like it. Hope it's useful to you.
Darcy Bono Creations absolutely, I was looking for an easy frosty weapon effect because I want to try to make a sword that looks like it has frost effects but only partially. This technique should easily help me accomplish this. I might blend the sword metal into the frosty portion with a little gloss varnish and see how it goes.
Sounds gorgeous! Just a heads up, I've tried blending metallic paints in with a blue glow kinda like you're meaning and just could not make it work. You may have a totally different experience, but I recommend trying the effect on a spare piece or part of sprue first. Not trying to be negative, just forewarning against a potential headache.
You’re right and I plan on practicing on an old model. I have a few ideas for blending it. One involves gloss varnish, one involves realistic water products, one involves wet blending. I have a whole bunch of warhammer elves in my basement that I use as guinea pigs.
Thanks to you though I now have a simple icy technique that looks great as a basis.
Hey Darcy, I really love your tutorials! They’re well thought through, concise and to the point! I’d like to see more of these!
Aw well thank you truly! I'm glad you enjoy them. I'd love to make more, but sadly am not able to fit it into my schedule atm. But thank you so much for your encouragement.
Thanks for the quick and easy tip, will definitely use this in the future :)
I am working on a custom project that includes a chaos marine whose power fist I want to have an icy look, I think this will be super helpful for that.
Thanks a bunch for this tutorial!
Hi Darcy! Great ice weapon idea!
David Cook Hi! Thank you! So pleased you like it.
Nice. Pretty simple and looks awesome.
Holy shit im gonna try my hardest to recreat this, this looks amazing
Good work this will help me with my project
Excellent. You paint with such ease.
Great simple advice! Thank you very much!
Very cool. Nice, simple and looks good!
Hey Darcy,
How did you do the ork skin on the image at the beginning? They look fantastic!
Thanks! Here ya go 😀. The following contains recipes for each component:

@@DarcyBonoCreations amazing, thanks!
Helped me with an ice sword. Thank you!
Your effects are incredible!
Awesome! My armies all have 2 running themes, blood and ice so thanks :3
Lovely work, Darcy :)
Thanks a bunch, I'll try it. 👍🏻
Very useful, thank you.
So helpful and simply!
Great video , clearly explained each step so even an idiot like me can understand 😂, can’t wait til the next one 👍
Oh Jules you flatterer! But thank you sir!
This is amazing, thanks
Just found you and love the no nonsense approach, so I've subbed.
Thank you! Glad you like my style. I figured the sooner everything is demonstrated and done, the sooner we all get back to painting 😄
very nice video tutorial and easy to understand and to apply. I take it it would be the same procedure for skin? or would there be some extra steps to consider for skin?
Thank you! The skin for these guys was done with Celestra Grey, shade coat Drakenhoff Nightshade, highlight Celestra Grey, highlight Ulthuan Grey and then very finely white. BUT now that Contrast Paints exist, you can expedite all that by applying Space Wolves Grey over either a white or very light grey base coat.
Nice and easy tks !
Lovely. I'm thinking of trying something like this on the trim of my Night Lords Chaos Space Marines....no idea if it'll work as well as I hope tho but we'll see.
That wash water pot looks rather familiar to me too....
Really nice little tutorial, certainly seems like a good little / simple technique, i'm pretty new to painting so would be interested to see more videos as clear and precise as this :)
Mark Powell Thank you truly! Yep, going to try and keep things simple for the most part and keep it 5-8 mins at the longest so everyone can get back to painting 😁
ooooh my Fosty Axe tribe might live
Can you do a tutorial of a full Frostork step by Step?? Pls
thanks, thanks to you, my orcs got armor
This looks heaps good!
Thank you!!!! also great tutorial
Looks awsome 👌 thinking of doing something similar for 40k orks
more plaz darcy more ice effect video plz!!!!!!!!, i need learn how skin and armor paint!!
Glad you liked it! I actually have a written tutorial for the other two parts. Be sure to check out my Smooth Drybrushing video first because I do all of the skin drybrushing using a makeup brush.
ruclips.net/video/vMP4qpInpRc/видео.html
Anyway here is the link to a summary of how to do the skin & armor. :)

thank you so much!~
yes. Icey Burna Bomber yes. yes yes. gonna turn into a skaven doing that one..
Love the time compression so I can actually see what happens.
As a parent and mini painter I’m jealous that your using a tomee teepee bottle for your paint water.
Haha you're the first person to notice that! My son outgrew his bottle so it made the perfect little paint pot.
So if I want to do metal armor that's been frozen instead of armor made of ice, should I do a TSons blue drybrush on the edges and then a white drybrush over that?
Do a glaze of Space Wolves Grey Contrast, it will give it a cold grey blue Wrath of the Lich King color. Then lightly drybrush white on the edges.
do you think this would work for necrons(for the upper armor) i want go for a ice version of the bastion scheme
Why have you stopped making videos!!! This is exactly what I needed for my custom death guard warband.
Haha well the short answer is, life got in the way. The longer answer, we moved to a new state a few months ago and once settled in I bit off way more than I could chew with commissions. I'm also mom to a crazy 2 year old, so I can't stay up past midnight if I want to survive the next day since his day starts at 6am. HOWEVER, preschool is just around the corner so that may give me the extra time I need for videos 😄. But I am very happy to hear you like them, and will resume production as soon as my schedule allows.
Darcy Bono Creations ah! I see, life has many of these lol! I’m very glad to hear you are alright and will continue on with videos. In the mean time I look forward to them!
What did you do to make the black armor look ice too?:)
Great! Thanks!
aaaaaand subscribed :D
Darcy, could you upload a video on how you did the icy skin on the orks you’ve made?
Yep, I plan to do a revamp of the whole color scheme. In the mean time I do have the written recipes here: ko-fi.com/post/How-to-Paint-Icejawz-C0C139LGA
@@DarcyBonoCreations fantastic! Also, what can I substitute the Ceramite White with? I checked, and the price range is pretty ridiculous. $30 to $60ish yikes Just for a little thing. 😬
This looks insane for such a simple technique. Do you think it would be effective on the large surface that is the skin of a Stormcast Eternal Dracoline?
I know this video is 2 years old but if by chance you saw this could you tell me if you could do this to sylvans or any creature for that matter because i love how it looks but i don’t know if it’ll work. Thank you!
I actually did do this on a Sylvaneth. I thought it fit them pretty well actually:
instagram.com/p/ByqgsjKn_4U/?igshid=1v2rcksxxjhyz
Darcy Bono Creations ohh that looks so good do you mind me asking what paints you used? Especially the white on the chest and the blue on the legs?
Thank you! I'm fairly certain the blues on this one are the same as from the video (this was a few years ago as well). The white bark is Dawnstone as a base coat, then a heavy drybrush of Ulthuan Grey, then some Ulthuan mixed with white and finally edge highlights in white.
great
Think you can do one for frost effects on armor?
For an easy ice and snow effect apply super glue to a base and dip straight into water. Try it.
Any particular tips for getting this effect on armor?
You can do the exact same process, just use a little medium like Lahmian Medium to prevent it from pooling on the more rounded surfaces. You can also do some stippling with white instead of drybrushing for the frosty effect. If you're not familiar with stippling, it's almost identical to drybrushing except you lightly jab the surface rather than flick your brush over it.
@@DarcyBonoCreations Noted. Thanks a ton for the quick response.
hi this looks good. Do you have any suggestions for more of a dark ice look? Like one might see on a deep lake?
Thanks! So most pics I've seen of deep frozen lakes have a deep turquoise color to them. I would try using the new Akhelian Green Contrast paint (it's a perfect dark teal) and then highlighting with either Sotek Green or Temple Guard Blue and then finally drybrushing on the edges with white for the frosty look.
First off congrats on being featured in white dwarf for this. And second off is there a contrast paint that could do instead of thousand son's because I'm not good with watering down my paints
Thank you very much! I was tremendously honored. And I haven't personally tried it, but Talassar Blue Contrast over Grey Seer or a white base looks pretty close. There is an example in the Citadel Color app under a Bright Blue color recipe. Here's a screenshot.

This is so bosssss
Do you have a tutorial to paint the orks like your first picture??
It's just a text version, but contains the recipes for all other components:
ko-fi.com/i/IR6R539L81
very nice video
I know this is late but what primer did you use?
I used Army Painter White. It's a bright "pure white" compared to the off-white, Citadel Corax white.
bit late to the party - but have you ever tried it with a metallic base color underneath?
The contrast paints are actually great for that! If you mix Aethermatic Blue and Talassar Blue you get the semi transparent equivalent of Thousand Sons Blue. I'll go through my archive and see if I have any pics from when I was tinkering with it and post the link here. It gives you a gorgeous metallic teal, but it doesn't look icy. I have one I did of Warpstone Green and Aethetmatic Blue and you get this:

@@DarcyBonoCreations yeah basically what i tried a few times ;) works out really well with the contrast ones ^
I mostly had to do rustys or regular swords and axes so far - cant wait till i can add an effect ^^
like for the effort :)
Thank you! Not for the result?
Can you convert this into a fire effect?
Can i use drakenhoff nightshade instead of watering down thousand sons?
Joey Gomez I wouldn't recommend it. Drakenhoff is a navy blue, and when painted over white it makes a faded denim blue color instead a bright blue. Maybe Guilliman Blue glaze if you have it?
I dont actually. But i have some cheap acrylics i use for washes and dry brushing. Ill find something thats similar.
Joey Gomez Yeah anything teal or a bold blue should work :)
Darcy Bono Creations Calgar blue?
Joseph W Gomez II I honestly can't confirm that one, I dont have that paint. It looks a bit too pale for the effect, but don't let me stop you from trying it. I've had good results with Caledor Sky though if you have that.
can we have a tuto for the skin of the orck ?
Kamix .zen Absolutely! I intend to do a tutorial for each of the components to my Icejawz. I just need to order another box of brutes first.
lot of thanks, i want to paint my ironjawz of shadespire like this , thanks you :)
how did you do the skin
What color scheme did you use on the skin, on the mini at 3:07 ?
This is actually going to be an upcoming video but here's my recipe:
Base coat celestra grey, once dry, shade coat all over with drakenhoff nightshade, drybrush celestra grey, lightly drybrush ulthuan grey, extremely light dry brush/ highlight with a flat white.
That's it :)
Darcy Bono Creations ty for the reply, i think thats the scheme I've been looking for 😙
How could you make armor appear ice cold? Like red blood angel armor in sub temp environment, it getting ice cold. Making it look like blue ice but on red armor
Hmm that one I honestly may not have a complete answer. If I understand the effect you're looking for, I did a similar "frosted" effect when I first got back into painting a couple years ago. Check out this link and let me know if this is close:
instagram.com/p/BOOdtKrhWeb/?igshid=ort3dp4f2k0v
If that's a similar look, I did it by lightly stippling very lightened blues and finally white along the edges of the armor. I recommend using a rounded brush like an e.l.f. concealer brush so it has more of a fade to the frost. You could try lightly blotting the edges in Fenrisian Grey, then Ulthuan Grey then white. I think you could also put a blue glaze like Guilliman over it in the end (just on the frost, avoid the red armor). I recommend testing this on a spare bit though as I am not 100% certain, it's just where I would start.
