You're like the Bob Ross of mini painting. So calming, so reassuring... makes me feel like I could do any of these on my first try!
same, these vids are my therapy. I could watch him paint for hours.

Thank you so much for the timestamps!
Two thin coats is the new Happy Accidents. Great mantra.
Mega. The days we living in when you can watch pros painting on videos rather then looking at magazine pics and poorly try to work out how its been done haha. Thank you
OUr pleasure
Absolutely love the extended videos detailing advanced techniques. This is what I always wanted from Duncan and felt that he was teaching with one hand tied behind his back due to some production requirements.
Totally agreed.
Something beautiful about refining skills. A good habit to get into
Me too!
And there you have it. 6 months and 735 thin coats later your sword is done!
Duncan , I just love your tutorials! You go so much in depth and explaining each step ! This really help me understand how to get the effects that I always wanted and where I did wrong !
Thanks Duncan!
You are so welcome! That's what we aim to do, teach ☺
This is hands down the very first genuinely good tutorial on how to paint glowing hot weapons.
@@DuncanRhodesDRPA Duncan, can we have more tutorials like this ? I feel like we really need these kinds of in depth tutorials.
In particular, I hope you might be able to consider a video on how to paint good female skin. It's something that I have struggled much on , and couldn't find good sources on how to do this
What is Duncan's favorite paint to put in his paint water to make it tasty? I haven't found a particularly tasty combination yet.
Still searching.....
Thanks for the vid Duncan!
Any time!
Absolutely phenomenal tutorial. I feel like I've leveled up just from watching this.
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the kind words.
I really appreciate how you explain why you’re painting something and how it will grant the wanted effect, it’s really useful for applying your techniques to different things!
I love the magma blade! Though all of the are absolutely amazing. Great work Dunc!
This was perfect timing- I had just gotten my first Primaris Lieutenant and wanted to paint his Power Sword, but I had no idea where to start- this video helped a ton!
Awesome! Glad it helped.
This should be on tv.
Thank you for this video, I've stolen all three techniques and was super happy with the outcome every time. The key really is patience, which surprised me because I was sure I wouldn't be skilled enough but skill isn't actually that much of an issue when you take your time. Thanks again, you're the best!
Exceptional video. As a beginner painter, I thank you.
Welcome to the hobby!
Thank you for this video, Dunc! You just handed me the perfect way to make my Salamanders Primaris Ancient really stand out on the tabletop.
Glad we could help! 😊
Indeef!
all 3 Brilliant
I love these longer videos where you explain fully what you're doing and show the process
other 3 pearls of art!
It's not often I think 'I can do this!' but this has really helped give me direction to push my skills.
Thank you :)
Thank you , DRPA .

Great Video. This is exactly what I need and I am happy that you show us more techniques than base, wash, highlight - the stuff you can find anywhere.
Best video ever. I return to it frequently. Very universal, impressive effects and enough choice for everyone
Wow, thank you so much for the kind words. Glad it has helped 😊
Love this video. I recently used the magma tutorial to paint up a Stannis Baratheon mini wielding Lightbringer. Thanks for all the terrific guides!
This is perfect timing. I'm painting Archaon now. I'll paint his slayer of kings sword with the nice magma effect!
Sick swords bro
This is just so well put together tutorial for these types of swords 👍 That magma in particular is something I'll be using on most of the swords for my marines, because it just looks damn good and if done properly like shown here, it looks realistically hot too. Like something you would subconsciously avoid touching. And if your hand ever had made contact with red hot iron or steel, even looking at something done this way will make you hesitate a bit 😂
Thank you. The magma sword is our favourite too. It turned out better than expected 😊
It would look incredinle on Salamamders, Ultramarines, Howling Griffins or even Dark Angels!
Hi! First time in the channel!
Just wanted to know that I loved the video format. As a beginner in the hobby, these very well detailed and step-by-step videos are incredible to help me step up my game.
Keep on the good work!
Awesome, thank you!
Welcome to the hobby!
That howling banshee's sword is gorgeoua. Love those colours!
Maybe it’s just me but I’m finding how you explain your process much easier to follow than most other videos from other content creators I’ve been watching. Great video, keep it up
Thanks you. 😊
the best for painting tutorials for ever ^^
Thank you so much 😀
Just in time for the Harlequins I picked up in anticipation of the Kill Team update in the next WD! Awesome video.
ah man, i got a shipping delay on my Artist Opus series S Size 1. Now i will have to wait 3 weeks to move onto step 3 >_>
For months I've been saying to myself I have to join DRPA and kept putting it off - I'll get around to it, I thought. Watched this video. Got around to it and joined today. 😎
Thank you for another great tip! I will try my best to follow your instructions! Keep up the good work!
You are welcome!
I can't believe how well someone can paint. Gj👏
Thank you. But the techniques shown here aren't too difficult. Just requires a little practice ☺
Well I've learned some important tips thank you! 😎👍
Thanks for these vids. I customize 1/18th figures, and your tips and tricks have helped me a lot! Keep up the great work
Glad to help and thank you.
Link to wear i can buy?
@@chrisb8041 Buy what?
please duncan i come to you on my hands and knees. every day when i paint i religiously speak the holy words "two thin coats... two thin coats...." as i meticulously use my most sacred weapon the brush to cut down the grey hordes of my pile of shame. i need you to paint belakor. i am a loyal disiple of this academy and i humbly request from the bottom of my soul which was painted in two thin coats that you do a video on him. praise be duncan in his holy and painted name
You'll be pleased to know we have a full, in-depth guide on our Academy website (duncanrhodes.com) covering that amazing miniature ☺
My favorite army is the Custodes. I'm DEFINITELY gonna be giving that molten sword a spin when I get around to painting a Blade Champion.
Awesome
Ооо, то чего так долго не хватало!
Been painting 40k since I was young back in 2004, Your tutorials have upped my confidence 10 fold in last few months. Much love & thanks my dude 👍🏽
This is great. BTW Duncan I really appreciate your "multiple" approach.
I've seems various tutorials on how to paint swords, but your duncan is by far the best one, and I'm not bad mouthing the other creators, far from it, just the level of care and explanation you do in your videos are so much in detail that helps a lot, one thing you've shown us that usually you don't see anywere is the brush strokes, and your handling of the painting on the pallet makes us even see the consistency of the paint we have to achieve wich helps a lot, thanks duncanyou are saving my life since your last job before this one
Beautiful results! Bravo Duncan! 😍
Thank you! Cheers!
Never before has a randomly suggested video so perfectly given the solution to exactly what I needed. Those jade weapons are perfect for what I was struggling to achieve, thank you!
Without people like you, this hobby would be impossible for people like me.
What kind word. Thank you. We hope that the tutorial helped you :-)
Amazing and thorough videos Duncan, very detailed and helpful.
I don't paint much these past few years. But i still follow your vids, and I find by doing that, I'm a better painter every time I get back into it.
So thank you, and keep up the great job! 👍😀
Thanks so much for the magma sword! It looks great on my minis!
That's fantastic! Glad we could help.
Yo!! I’m about to start a squad of Salamander Blade Guard. Was gonna try my hand at molten blades. Thanks for the timely video!!
Any time!
Thank you so much for the video Duncan! I've always wanted to make a powersword, but I could never found such a digestible guide.
you are such a beast wtf wow, its insane how easy it looks on your hands
Anyone can do it. Just takes a little practice and patience.
@@DuncanRhodesDRPA yes and I am very happy to see there are you who are making these amazing tutorials
In past at the videos of GW it though it's insane, that was at the start of mine inside the hobby
But with these videos with your explanation I think everyone with time can get it with you
It's amazing, thank you
Thanks so much Duncan! Learnt some great stuff on glazing there! Your tutorials really are superb!
Awesome stuff. Finally beggining to understand glazes!
This is going to be fun to practice each style 👍🏻 Thank you very much for your quality instruction!
The Cystalline blade guide is useful to me so I can paint my Autarch Star Glaive. I've just assembled it from the Eldritch Omens battle boxset and about to undercoat it very soon.
you think you can do a sequel video explaining other blade types like ice and lava??
Great tutorial as always, love the reference image for heated steel - a smart idea to try to mimic something like that to add realism to the effect.
wow this looks crazy, thanks for your sharing your skills.
Thank you! Cheers!
Those 90's power weapons are interesting for sure haha
Just watched this wonderful tutorial and it turned out really well absolutely wonderful guide for blades
Outstanding.
Very good introduction!!! Thank you so much!
Excellent narration of your painting techniques. I like how you actually show every step of the way. I'm getting back into model painting and these tips will ease my way back. Liked and subbed.
I love these technique videos! Keep up the great work Duncan and Rog!
Thanks! Will do!
Thank you this is exactly what I was looking for
Glad to hear!
Hey man your videos are really good. The teaching is very detailed. I love it.❤
Thank you Duncan!
This was a great video. I have always been a slow painter and it is encouraging to see how that helps using these build-up techniques. I think the pace of this video is excellent and I approached you having the color and brush details on the screen.
I just received the first two waves of your paint line and I am excited to paint some minis.
Cheers!
You're very welcome! And we hope you enjoy using the paints
Painting Abaddon the despoiler this weekend. Just watched your black legion video and now this. Perfect timing
It's like we knew...🤫
Great video, these are very informative!
Glad it was helpful and thank you 😊
@@DuncanRhodesDRPA these long form videos are rly great, this is some top notch paint quality also.
an excellent guide, thanks Duncan. My Eldar weapons turned out looking nice
You do a really good job of explaining the techniques. I really learned a lot from this video. Thank you.
Such a good tutorial thanks!
Just found your channel a few months ago after getting back into the hobby 👌 Great content and some really useful tips and tricks! I used your molten sword method to create a ghostly green blade for my OG Demon prince, came out spot on! Thank you man! 👍
Glad i saved that video. My newly aquired Custodes will definitly get those magma-weapons!
Love these advanced videos! Keep it up!
Just the tip! Duncan, you’re the man.
Thank you this great content! 👍 helped me out a ton for step by step.
CONGRATULATIONS DUNCAN ON SURVIVING NURGLE'S PLAGUE!!!!!!
Thanks for the excellent tutorial! I'm painting some crystals on a portal to the Abyss d&d terrain piece with your magma blade scheme. Very excited about it!
Great tutorial. That heat sword is..um..er..fire. Subscribed. 😁
Awesome! Thank you!
Great tutorial. Ty for your vids
Fantastic stuff Duncan.
So thankful for your channel. Think about trying to explain these techniques in less than 5 minutes on another channel. The 18th thank you for the forging.
Great content! Highly recommanded!!!
Glad you enjoyed it and much appreciated 😊
Amazing tutorial I’m going to try on my mini s. Thanks
Amazing video ..you always amaze me with ur content.
AMAZING video, love it.
Thank you for another awesome tutorial!!
My pleasure!
impressive!
These citadel guys paint some impressive stuff.
Independent now 👍 (www.duncanrhodes.com)
Thanks Duncan. Great vid as ever.
Glad you enjoyed it
Little color theory tip. At the hottest (white) area of the blade add the smallest tint of a blue green (phthalo blue) into your white to cool it off. It will glow even more. Cool white against warm yellow orange creates a push pull with your eye. It is a cool optical illusion.
Saved.
this helped me great, thanks a lot.
You're welcome!
Duncan, Any suggestions on paints to use for a blue crystalline blade? Much appreciated if you can answer! Love your stuff
Dude so many beginner tutorials talk about layering and thinning and show them doing it but don't show how to add water properly to the paints on the palette to thin them. It's so simple of course but as a newby it's still a valuable tip so thank you. Great tutorial i subscribed half way through.
Awesome! Glad it helped and thanks for the sub 😊
Yes, these tips are very useful
Duncan, thank you once again for fantastic tutorials :)
It's our pleasure 😊
One word: Wow.
