Uh, none took me to any thumbnails of your work. Would really like to see some, print & put up for inspiration. Will apologize for my comments had to much eggnog this weekend. But, should not have lowered myself to that level of ignorance.
This is nuts! I just got in to the miniatures, built and painted my first one last night. I really hope to get on this level at some point. This is award worthy. Before getting in to this I would browse and gawk at everyone else paints but this is by far the best I have seen.
I gravitate to a more "grimdark style"... But, when this high impact is done right, like was here... Can't be denied that it's really striking and really brings up the details of the mini!
Finally had a chance to watch through this, definitely going to make use of this for Obsidius and his henchmarines for my Blackstone Fortress. Thanks for linking me to your videos when I asked about getting back into painting after a 20 year break before a certain person kicked me from their "hobby" page (though at times it started to seem more like their own clickbait service). Also even though I already have an Element Games account will do my next paint order using your affiliate link so you get a bit of a bonus from them.
Thanks so much for these videos. I understand that a lot of your method is how you think your paints to the right consistency - would be interesting to have a video where you cover that and possibly show you you're able to get such thin and consistent lines on your models - they always turn out so crisp it's something to be envious of!
Thr only thing I do to thin paint is add water to it, there's no secret technique. As for the thin lines, sadly I cannot teach you brush control over a video, it's all about practice. You need to develop the soft touch required by yourself, use just the VERY TIP of the brush and use a large brush, using a large brush will make you learn it much faster.
Like and subbed, really nice work. I dismissed contrast paint as something for people who don't like to paint details, but you have proven how valuable they can be. Gonna try to paint my leather with Gore Grunta now, it looks really nice. Excellent video mate!
You rule, friend. Lovely as always. Black is one of my least favorite colors to paint, I think making it look good is harder than any other color. Also, big fan of how that brown on the gold turned out. Makes it less color saturated than I usually go with, which works very well on a black color scheme. Although, I'm always wondering how to manipulate the colors I've used on a mini, I think maybe going a bit warmer by using the Gore-Grunta Fur in the recesses of the black and the gold wash could be a really neat effect. I'll give it a try next black and gold model I get a chance to paint and will try to pass on the results.
I've seen Girlyman Flesh contrast used as a wash over gold before as well. Think it gives a warmer gold than this from what I have seen but for 10,000 year old Black Legion this approach is really good for an older gold (as said by Emdee 001 above)
@@GarethS998 yeah I know, I use fleshtones for gold most the time. Just thought maybe in this particular case, going with the same brown he uses for the pouches and leather might be a little extra tying the miniature together, while still keeping more of a brown tone for old gold.
White Scars were the first ones!! Go check the video mate. As for HH Thousand Sons I'm afraid that won't happen, I will only paint them in the 40k boxart colours
You've made a believer out of me, Citadel contrast paints have a place on my workbench if you can get good effects with them. Once again you've done some fine work!
Thank you for this tutorial. I’ve been putting off my black legion army because I couldn’t get their gold trim the right colour. I found it to be too cumbersome to mix the metallics. Your method is so simple and effective!
Amazing, your brush control is outstanding. Inspires me to go practice! I've got some CSM sitting on the shelf sprayed black - might have to give a second grey coat!
No worries on the recording, it happens. I still love all your painting tutorials. I'm doing a Deathwatch-style Chaos Space Marine Warband, and these videos help a lot.
Thanks! But sorry, I won't paint the main man himself. I only plan to paint one marine for each legion and no more. At this point in time that means I only have 4 left to do and then I won't paint another marine ever.
As most have already said Excellent work. I’m always amazed / impressed how one small point of paint (HL) can have such dramatic effect. Only trouble I have is when you (& others) use a paint I just happen Not to have & looking for compatibility is difficult at times. Anyway, wanted to also ask if you by chance have a dedicated page somewhere that has thumbnails of your work as I’d like to look at better than I can in video? Just hope you don’t say Facebook as I don’t do Facebook. I don’t do most social media as I’d like to paint rather than keep up with so many F’ing apps. Hope you do and thank you for your doing what you do. Sorry I can’t go as far as patreon ‘cause if I do with you then I’d have to with all others and I’d end up not being able to afford hobby.
Hi! Right now I only have Instagram if you want to look at all my pictures. Link is in the description of the video. I might do a web page at some point
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures I've noticed you use the Black Templar mix as a black wash a lot. Do you prefer it over Nuln Oil or is there a different reason you prefer it the way you do?
I prefer it for metals yes. It's WAY BETTER. Same reason why I use Guilliman Flesh instead of Reikland or a mix of Wyldwood and medium instead of Agrax
It's all about practice and getting your hands well secures onto the table. But I know for some people getting your hand very steady can be a big challenge
I love how your work always feels achievable. You end up with similar effects to much more complicated methods, so I feel like your level is reachable (tho honestly it probably isn't for me lol).
Einstein once said something like, and I'm paraphrasing here: "Any idiot can make things in a complicated way, but it take a genius to make them simple" I work very hard to make things as simple and as easy to replicate as possible
Mate you are an artist! And also your tutorial are very easy and well explained, I learn a lot, thanks! Can you doing something about contrast paints on large skin areas with muscle? Like ogor mawtribe or similar?
The one of chosens warriors of Warmaster! As always high level of detalization. It’s a pity you didn't add lightning effect of the force field to the axe 、 but it doesn't make the model worse
Thanks! I already did that to one Sister of Battle and I don't like to repeat myself if I can. Also I tend to follow the boxart at close as possible (if I like it that is, the new Night Lords scheme is shit) Again, thanks mate
What I do is put a couple drops of medium in my pallets and then slowly add tiny bits of Akhelian with the tip of my brush until I have the desired consistency
Amazing video and results - made me go and make a batch of 1:1 Retributor:Stormhost as that gold looks so good! One question - the silver base - was there a particular reason for using Iron Hands Steel rather than Leadbelcher that most schemes use? I'm going to use a matt varnish as the final layer to seal my minis and I'm thinking that Iron Hands Steel will 'push' the shininess a bit further than Leadbelcher and give a better result once it gets dulled by the varnish. I know you can do back and either do metalics after varnishing or selectively apply a gloss / satin varnish but I rather just have the matt as the final layer and be done with it. I like how Stormhost Silver looks like after a matt varnish but Leadbelcher looks too 'muted' next to it I find. Ta in advance :)
Tengo una pregunta muy rápida Juan, a ver si podrías echarme un cable. El spray de citadel "Mechanicus Standard Grey" en España ahora mismo no se encuentra por culpa del brexit... cual sería el equivalente en Vallejo u otra marca ??
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures jajaja ok, no pasa nada, gracias por la respuesta! es que me estoy volviendo loco... probaré a hacer eso sobre la imprimación negra a ver...
I plan to tackle all the factions, they will come for sure. I just need to finish all the marines first, otherwise I won't have the mental strength to finish them
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures 100% understand. Love the videos. It's great work and doesn't make me feel like I can't accomplish the same end result! Thanks again
I always say what I'm using, usually Contrast Medium. As for how much, to get the consistency I show in the thumb. There are no ratios, you have to learn how to do it by feel.
I gotta tell ya Juan, I come to your channel sometimes just to feel good. Your background music and your voice are good for learning and relaxing. I have no interest in painting Chaos, but I'm watching this anyway because it's just so damn theraputic. Keep up the damn fine work P.S fuck blue
Brilliant... I love the idea of contrast paints and had no idea how amazing the finished product could be... What highlight colors would you use on Shyish Purple?
When you edge highlight the black armor on chaos space marines, you basically press that first row of thunderhawk blue flush next to the gold trim? Im having a tough time edge highlighting csm bcause theres really not edges per se. The edges are technically the gold trim, so the highlights are technically where the trim touches the armor in every place?
This is an AMAZING way to paint black, I'd have never considered using contrast as a tint, you've ended a long LONG ordeal of me trying to find a way to paint black that I like! This is such inspiring work. If I may ask. I've tried to recreate this about 10 minutes ago, and I have a couple of questions if that would be okay? 1) I don't have access to Mechanicus grey spray can, can you suggest another paint that would be a good base to start from? (I have an airbrush if that changes anything). 2) How do you get such a smooth finish on the black contrast coat? Mine cones out somewhat streaky on the smoother panels like the shoulder pad. Thank you for making this video, consider me subscribed!
Glad you liked it. You can use any mid gray, I know there is an Air version as well as regular pot of Mechanicus available. But again, any mid grey paint will serve as well. As for the smoothness, try using a large brush, apply a thick coat and let the gravity and surface tension do it's job, then absorb the excess where its pooling too much. It requires a bit of technique, but it's easy to get the hang off
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures A great painter and one who quickly replies to his fanbase. A great painter and gentleman too. Thanks so much! Keep up the amazing work! Do you have any other miniatures painted up in that black scheme? A full army like that would be killer! Thanks again!
I also did a sister of Battle and the Raven Guard marine. But not I don't have a 40k army. I personally appreciate each and every single comment and I believe that if someone took part of their time writing it the least I can do is take a bit of mine to answer it. If you check my comment section of all my videos you will see how I treat my audience, I do things differently
Como siempre un trabajo excelente y de admirar estimado Juan H. por favor podrías indicarme que pincel es el que usas recuerdo que una vez lo mencionaste pero no se en cual video fue.
Question: Why use "layer" paints to highlight? Why not use base paints mixed with Lahmian medium or with water? Or both? How are layer paints superior? I don't use layer paints therefore my curiosity.
Great Video. What kind of brush did you use? And would you say you could get the same result using a normal shade like Nuln Oil on the metal? Thanks a lot. Gonna try this on the Eldritch Omens Box.
hi there really like your vids my friend i was wondering if you could do the metallic style ultramarine ive been seeing people do for there new box sets kind regards paul :)
Dices para la veladura final sobre el negro? Si puedes. Te va a aportar un tono distinto pero será muy sutil. Como tú dices, mezcla Guilliman Blue con Lahmian Medium y tendrás algo que te servirá bien
I usually note very clearly when I'm using medium, i haven't re watched this to confirm but I'm very sure I used medium because I always do for contrast paints
Hello Juan, great work like always. Have you ever painted a mini with only one light source from above, because I saw you work mostly with four light sources ? So that the parts which lie in the shadows are nearly black? Like big miniatures or paintings? Would be interesting what you think about that style ? Greetings keep up the beautiful work. I tried it and it is really difficult.
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Thank you for your response. You always write back, really great. I think your style looks better to but you are really a great painter so other so. I tried it out of curiosity.
Of course I always respond. If someone takes the time to write a question or a comment the least I can do is answer. I do use that method for faces and flesh actually, makes it look more realistic bit for the rest I tebdo to go pure Eavy Metal

One question - the silver base - was there a particular reason for using Iron Hands Steel rather than Leadbelcher that most schemes use?
I'm going to use a matt varnish as the final layer to seal my minis and I'm thinking that Iron Hands Steel will 'push' the shininess a bit further than Leadbelcher and give a better result once it gets dulled by the varnish.
I know you can do back and either do metalics after varnishing or selectively apply a gloss / satin varnish but I rather just have the matt as the final layer and be done with it.
I like how Stormhost Silver looks like after a matt varnish but Leadbelcher looks too 'muted' next to it I find.

I plan to tackle all the factions, they will come for sure. I just need to finish all the marines first, otherwise I won't have the mental strength to finish them
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures 100% understand. Love the videos. It's great work and doesn't make me feel like I can't accomplish the same end result!
Thanks again
Very happy to help mate
When you thin down the contrast paints to a glaze consistency, what do you use to dilute it and how much of it do you use?
I always say what I'm using, usually Contrast Medium.
As for how much, to get the consistency I show in the thumb. There are no ratios, you have to learn how to do it by feel.
Can you paint a blightking ❤ love your work🎉
I gotta tell ya Juan, I come to your channel sometimes just to feel good. Your background music and your voice are good for learning and relaxing. I have no interest in painting Chaos, but I'm watching this anyway because it's just so damn theraputic. Keep up the damn fine work
P.S fuck blue
Thanks mate 😘, love you too
Brilliant... I love the idea of contrast paints and had no idea how amazing the finished product could be... What highlight colors would you use on Shyish Purple?
Thanks, not sure as I haven't used it much. Probably something like Deamonette Hide would be my first guess
When you edge highlight the black armor on chaos space marines, you basically press that first row of thunderhawk blue flush next to the gold trim?
Im having a tough time edge highlighting csm bcause theres really not edges per se. The edges are technically the gold trim, so the highlights are technically where the trim touches the armor in every place?
Yes, you need to leave a super thin line of the black in between the gold and the edge highlight, as small as possible but has to be there
love this tutorial thank you so much. can i ask what size brush this was that you used? looking at moving up from citadel layer brushes

Mira Juan, con este sí que te la has sacado.
😂😂😂
Es fácil cuando hay poco que sacar, casi sale sola 😂
Very nice
Thanks mate 😘
This is an AMAZING way to paint black, I'd have never considered using contrast as a tint, you've ended a long LONG ordeal of me trying to find a way to paint black that I like! This is such inspiring work.
If I may ask. I've tried to recreate this about 10 minutes ago, and I have a couple of questions if that would be okay?
1) I don't have access to Mechanicus grey spray can, can you suggest another paint that would be a good base to start from? (I have an airbrush if that changes anything).
2) How do you get such a smooth finish on the black contrast coat? Mine cones out somewhat streaky on the smoother panels like the shoulder pad.
Thank you for making this video, consider me subscribed!
Glad you liked it.
You can use any mid gray, I know there is an Air version as well as regular pot of Mechanicus available. But again, any mid grey paint will serve as well.
As for the smoothness, try using a large brush, apply a thick coat and let the gravity and surface tension do it's job, then absorb the excess where its pooling too much.
It requires a bit of technique, but it's easy to get the hang off
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures A great painter and one who quickly replies to his fanbase. A great painter and gentleman too. Thanks so much! Keep up the amazing work! Do you have any other miniatures painted up in that black scheme? A full army like that would be killer!
Thanks again!
I also did a sister of Battle and the Raven Guard marine. But not I don't have a 40k army.
I personally appreciate each and every single comment and I believe that if someone took part of their time writing it the least I can do is take a bit of mine to answer it.
If you check my comment section of all my videos you will see how I treat my audience, I do things differently
Awesome video like always!!! When will we see this for Word Bearers? Because they also are real Haters of Blue 🤣
Soon
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures thank you for the quick answer 😀
Como siempre un trabajo excelente y de admirar estimado Juan H. por favor podrías indicarme que pincel es el que usas recuerdo que una vez lo mencionaste pero no se en cual video fue.
Question: Why use "layer" paints to highlight? Why not use base paints mixed with Lahmian medium or with water? Or both? How are layer paints superior? I don't use layer paints therefore my curiosity.
Paint is paint, forget about the arbitrary category GW has decided to give them, I just use the hue I need that's all
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Cool. Thanks for response. Great channel. I've learned a lot from your videos!
Happy to help, thanks for watching
Great Video. What kind of brush did you use? And would you say you could get the same result using a normal shade like Nuln Oil on the metal? Thanks a lot. Gonna try this on the Eldritch Omens Box.
Rosemary and Co series 33 size 3, you have a link to them in the description.
Yeah you can use Nuln Oil instead bit it's not as good, it works though
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures thank you, i will give it a try
hi there really like your vids my friend i was wondering if you could do the metallic style ultramarine ive been seeing people do for there new box sets kind regards paul :)
Sorry but I don't plan on doing that.
You can watch the Alpha legion video and basically change Akhelian Green for Talassar Blue
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures i will try it cheers
Está muy bonita, cuánto tiempo te llevó pintarla realmente?. Un saludo.
Ni idea, nunca cuento tiempo. Pero quizás entre 8 y 12
When painting detail do you still thin you paints
Of course, you always have to thin your paints
Any tips on what black to use if I got some gold on the armour pieces? Just starting off and the gold detailing can be a bit frustrating. Thanks!
Depends on where it lands, but corvus black or Dark Reaper could be a good starting point
Amazing paint job! What figure is that I'd love to try my hand at painting it.
It's made from the Chaos Marines box
Thanks.
Hola! Soy nuevo en el mundillo de pintura! Una pregunta, en lugar de Akhelian Green podría utilizar Gulliman Blue o Lahmian Medium?
Un saludo!!
Dices para la veladura final sobre el negro? Si puedes. Te va a aportar un tono distinto pero será muy sutil.
Como tú dices, mezcla Guilliman Blue con Lahmian Medium y tendrás algo que te servirá bien
do you recommend using a zenital prime with black and then mechanicus standard grey?
You can, it will work very well for this paintjob
When making a glaze from akhelion green do you thin with water or contrast medium?
I usually note very clearly when I'm using medium, i haven't re watched this to confirm but I'm very sure I used medium because I always do for contrast paints
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Thanks mate !
Happy to help!
Hello Juan, great work like always. Have you ever painted a mini with only one light source from above, because I saw you work mostly with four light sources ? So that the parts which lie in the shadows are nearly black? Like big miniatures or paintings? Would be interesting what you think about that style ? Greetings keep up the beautiful work. I tried it and it is really difficult.
I did back in the day but I find the Eavy Metal style more compelling to me if I'm honest
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Thank you for your response. You always write back, really great. I think your style looks better to but you are really a great painter so other so. I tried it out of curiosity.
Of course I always respond. If someone takes the time to write a question or a comment the least I can do is answer.
I do use that method for faces and flesh actually, makes it look more realistic bit for the rest I tebdo to go pure Eavy Metal
I love your work! Can I ask what size brush you use for this video? I love that it holds the paint well but still has a fine point
