Can you comment on what type of thinner you used? Close caption says "Animal thinner" does that mean enamel thinner for oil? I assume acrylic thinner wont work for the oil.
ive always thought the core should be brighter and the outer coils are what cools it enough to keep it from exploding, same with volkite. noone else seemed to think so.
Ikr, it makes so much more sense this way! (I mean there is a slight explanation of you want to paint the outer ones brighter but its way more convoluted and raises more questions than it answers)
Commenters note: this method also works if you want to paint red plasma, green plasma, or whatever other color your plasma wants to be. Basecoat the midtone, drybrush dark, then wash with the highlight color.
I love this because you are painting coils in reverse of other tutorials. Others treat the top of the coils as the brightest part, whereas you treat it as the dullest part, with the bottom being the light source. It looks amazing.
@@alexthehopeless3778 the confusion is because the rule of thumb of miniature painting has always been using brighter colors on the outside to simulate highlights. However, as you stated, it doensn't make any sense and therefore doesn't work well with energy weapons and other heat effects (such as flames).
Best painting channel on youtube. The intro comedy, the accent, the friendly demeanor, the pure knowledge and accessibility. I rate Juan Hidalgo 11/10. Plus, I said hello to him on Facebook one time and he responded. It was like being waved at by a celebrity. I rate Juan Hildalgo 12/10 EDIT: The background music is soothing to the soul. I rate Juan Hildalgo 13/10
Not the cheapest or the easiest process (though you do a wonderful job to simplify it), but i'll be darned if it isn't the best looking plasma glow. I was skeptical of the white oil wash but that went on soooo smooth, and it wasn't just a straight line it leeched up the coil. Absolutely beautiful work.
Thanks! Definitely not the cheapest but I think some drybrush and a wash is pretty accessible. Especially compared to glazing or using an airbrush, but that's just my opinion
@JuanHidalgoMiniatures its definitely not the most expensive process either, but I do a lot of paint mixing to save on space and money. Like I said, outstanding work. 👍
@MrFahqup oh yeah I totally get it! I usually mix a lot myself but I like to keep my videos as repeatable as possible and that usually means using more paints.
@JuanHidalgoMiniatures the recipes are S tier my friend. If I need to substitute some ingredients, that's on me. You made the blueprint. Keep them coming!
AWESOME Tutorial . Thank you! And no airbrush. Love it! Thank you for sharing this. I cant wait to use it on my space marines as Im redoing all the plasma glows!
Awesome job mate. Not only the easy painting method but also the fact that like nearly everyone else you paint it proper. I for one dont want to be near anything plasma where the actual coil/casing is brighter than whats inside. Thats the good start of a very, very bad day.
This is going to change the game for some of my stuff, I've stripped an old model already because the plasma effect being bad ruined it, and even the redo I was only somewhat okay with. Maybe I can try the oil step on its own to brighten it up first, since the old metal infantry ones "ribs" are sooo shallow. Thanks very much!
That plasma looks great! More interesting to me is that OSL however. OSL is a technique that I've always shied away from, but this is looking very approachable and easy to do. Also, I got those kind of brushes! They're awesome! I use the bigger ones to get tanks done very quickly.
I just randomly stumbled across this video at just the perfect time as I'm getting ready to paint some plasma coil lookin parts on the underside of Farsight's jet packs. Two thumbs up, this method makes for an amazing looking end result.
Thank you for this video. I have been hearing from others that air brushes were the only way to do plasma effects well. I prefer brush painting, and your tutorial is top-notch!
Happy to help, top tip: If you glaze the fort two steps instead of Drybrushing them you get a smoother result but of course the increase of difficulty is also notable
Thank you so much! i was unsatisfied with my plasma effect, but now I know why: I painted the recesses darker, and the coils brighter. But obviously if the bright light comes from inside the coil it would be the other way around! Also leaving some paint on the weapon really sells the glow effect!
Wow. That looks great, and you weren't kidding about how easy. Definitely got to get my hands on that oilbrusher, never thought of using white oil paint for this!
Thanks for the fantastic tutorial! Definitely one of the best plasma effects I've ever seen (and I've been seeing A LOT of them for many many years). I'll look into your channel now to see if I can find a tutorial on who to paint flames. Cheers!
Love it. Wish I'd had this technique for all the plasmas I've done! I kept trying different things to try and get it to look this way, and this looks easier and better results. Thanks!
This was pretty similar to Mavericks Paint's tutorial, albeit a bit more streamlined and optimized for efficient speed painting. Citadel color masterclass on Warhammer+ also has a similar tutorial but it takes much longer, requires more paints, and will set you back roughly $5 USD a month to watch. So yeah, for the time invested, this is one of the better tutorials out there.
Very good tutorial, very helpful, easy to follow with great results! Probably some of the best plasma I have every painted, really made the Plasma mortar on my Thanatar look amazing.
Hello! Thank for this video. It's amazing! You are one of the most usefull blogger for me by painting. I am already paint sword for my librarian by your guide. And it was turned out gratefull!
That was a great instructional video! I've been messing around with doing plasma effects for the first time too, thanks for sharing these tips! I'll give it a spin soon enough!
🤣Now the one I watched this morning makes more sense! Ahhhh these are absolutely gold, I reckon you should just go unfiltered. I can pretty much guarantee you'd entertain so many people, I am, and i'm still learning new things at the same time. That's a twofer. Keep on keeping on, glowing up like a boss. As one Mr Cornell once said; "And to be yourself is all that you can do". No one does it better 😉
Awesome. I have a primaris techmarine that is all done and based, except for the plasma effect that I have been avoiding. This looks like a great way to wrap him up.
When I still played 40k, I used to do plasma coils and energised melee weapons with ice blue, skull white and finish with coloured citadel ink.

The paints were, iirc, discontinued in 2014, the inks were discontinued around 2010 😥

Can you comment on what type of thinner you used? Close caption says "Animal thinner" does that mean enamel thinner for oil? I assume acrylic thinner wont work for the oil.
Odorless Thinners, that's the name of the Thinners, and yes they are oil or enamel thinners
Finally somebody who's painting the inner parts of the plasma "coil" brighter than the outer ones. Thank you !
That's how you do it!
ive always thought the core should be brighter and the outer coils are what cools it enough to keep it from exploding, same with volkite. noone else seemed to think so.
@@FenrirFrostborn most gamers has no grasp of thermodynamic physics 😆
been annoying the shit out of me for decades. The coil is the houseing the bright shit should be in the middle/inside! So this is deffo major good.

100%
what is a good acrylic white wash ?
None, but if you are determined to use acrylics, buy a good quality artist white ink. Liquitex or Daler Rowney FW are my favourite ones
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures would thinned white paint work? The water would make it seep into the recesses.
But he basecoated the lightest, then dry brushed midtone, then drybrushed midtone before wash? Howd you mean basecoat the midtone?
I love this because you are painting coils in reverse of other tutorials. Others treat the top of the coils as the brightest part, whereas you treat it as the dullest part, with the bottom being the light source. It looks amazing.
Thanks
It makes sense tho, the coils are supposed to be hotter on the inside, idk why others are painting it differently

VIEWS FOR THE VIEWS GOD
Amazing as always. the finał step (white wash) can be done with regular acrylic paint with thinner or even water.
Yes of course but that makes it no longer zero skill as it requires way more finesse and control
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures even with acrylic ink? My problem with oils is You need other brushes, cleaner etc.
