Great video:) The only thing I would add is that for the heavy contrast red, I think you made a very common mistake of confusing saturation and value. The effect doesn't sell as high contrast (i.e. reflective) as the midtone and highlights are roughly the same value - take a screenshot of your palette/mini and convert it to greyscale, and you'll see what I mean. The highlights need white added to increase the value contrast, to get a pallete with values closer to the high contrast black (which is why that effect sells really well).
This turned out great! I really like how you lay out each step in these videos. It’s also interesting to see you use medium (matte I assume) on the palette as you go. I’ve been incorporating mediums a lot more since I found your channel and I’ve been really happy with the results I’ve been having.
Really good video, Paintman! Having those high detail miniatures is what nightmares are made off and you just showed us a really nice way to overcome it!
I think to read as metal you should add some white or near white specular highlights. Stopping at the pure red gives it more of a hard leather look to me. But it's a very interesting exercise, getting different material effects with the same colors. I dig it.
Very cool to see a Battle Sister painted up, and the choice of color is pretty slick. I think the Sisters are very fetching in red.

I wish i had a quarter of your talent
You are Not the best Painter,
But i love your Videos so much
You are something between a wizard and a scientist
Not a big fan of pure white. Often using light buttermilk I can reduce the severity of pure white.
