Ive been so unmotivated by how i cant managed to do all the glazing-based tutorials out there for my necrons but this one which is mainly based on drybrush worked so well for me. Thank you so much :,3
this is by far the best way I've seen someone paint these weapons. for a while now I've been looking at other people paint glowing weapons and haven't liked any of the final products I've seen, but this is absolutely incredible. thanks for the tutorial :)
Really nice tutorial! ❤ But for god sake it must be mention: when drybrushing, DONT use a paper towel (or similar) which also sucks out all the transfer medium (water/liquid) from your brush. Use a dry-palette, like a well-sanded wooden board. Slightly moisten your drybrush before dipping into the color and then brush 95% of the color (in your brush) onto the drypalette. The result will be more smooth and more vibrant, cause u avoid the dusty side effect which will occure when u get grid of all the transfer medium in the brush (on the paper towel) just leaving only pigment on the model!
I was looking for a quick easy way to paint Necron Hyperphase weapons and after painting a few units this week this is the way I’ll be painting them going forward. Looks so much better than Tesseract Glow over corax white base and far simpler and than the games Workshop way of doing it with contrast paints.
You could try a matte medium and Yriel Yellow and Troll Slayer Orange. Could also try to watering down some contrast paints, there’s so many new colors you could try but I’d go light with layers
@@90bubbel60 as in I wouldn’t apply a thick layer, I’d instead water it down and apply thin layers slowly. You can always add layers but once you go too heavy, you’ll kill the blend
I LOVE Tesseract Glow! It is one of the most unique paints I’ve seen, and used! Sadly I found this tutorial too late as I just started updating my Necrons. :( Wish I found it sooner!
thank you very much for the great tutorial. looks awesome on my blades and that without airbrushing. does that also work with plasma weapons? greetings from Germany 🤘🤘🤘
Hey, I’m so glad that the tutorial helped! As for plasma glow, the dry brushing and glazing of color does work but I only use it for the glow around the coils
For sure and it’s worth a shot. Could always mix in a bit of Drakenhof nightshade to thin it down and darken it up. Let me know if you try it, would love to give it a go!
Why do you keep bouncing the paint pots around when I'm trying to read what you need? I want to see what you're using before I bother watching your video. I'm not going to go out and buy more paints if I don't need to. Having a graphic at the beginning of the video would be very helpful.
Hey, sorry about that. This is one of my older videos and I didn’t put the colors on screen at the time (was still getting used to the program). I do mention the colors in the video and on the transition screens but if you’d like a list, let me know! I’ll happily shoot it over.

Absolutely! Glad it helps 😊
I tried to do this on my necrons using not so good paints and still got the finish I wanted. Thanks a lot!
Really nice tutorial! ❤

3:56 Skorpekh Lord, but close enough 😄
Thank you so much for a great tutorial!
Of course! Glad ya liked it!
Simple, rapide et un super résultat.
Je viens d'essayer et c'est excellent :)
Thank you much!
Nice! Thanks!
Looks good! If I ever get some necron minis I'll be sure to use this technique! 😄
Thanks! And right on, if you use it let me know how it goes!

Thank you! I’m glad it’s able to help you out and once you get the hang of it, it’s super easy to do
so im thinking of trying this but with orange energy and a yellow edge, any tips on colors?

@@thedrypaintpot what do you mean with you would go light with layers exactly?

Could always use it for other green glowing things! 😁
On the larger blades (4:06) what did you use for the inside of the blade design?
For the white, I simply watered down some white scar and carefully dripped it in. Did that once or twice and was all set!

Finally! Now I can make weapons glow! But why stop there? Glowing Armor? Glowing bases? Glowing
S K E L E T O N S ?
Do it...do all of it...NOW 💀
Nice, but what happens if you just dry brush white over black? Doesn't that make a gradient of its own?
Good question! Might just be me but I’ve noticed that using darker to lighter colors have always led to a better blend. Again, might just be me
@@thedrypaintpot Ok! I'm going to do some experimenting. If all fails, i'll have this great tutorial at least haha, keep it up!
you said you're a marine player? i can assume you use this same technique on your marine's power sword?
I do! I’ve done similar on Grey Knights halberds and surprisingly enough certain terrain features
what blue equivalent of tessact glow?
Hmmm I’d try soulstone blue
@@thedrypaintpot Really? interesting i never think try out those gem colors thank dude

@@thedrypaintpot try soulstone watered down kinda meh but will try that next
@@thedrypaintpot with drakenof it getting there but not exactly i'm looking for, well I guess ill keep experimenting until i got colour
Gauss rhymes with house.
Ahhhhhhh makes sense
