I never realized until I saw your videos just how much it ground my gears that people highlighted the TOP of the plasma lines, rather than shading them. It makes so much more sense visually this way around.
Interesting how plasma is basically the reverse of what is usually done - Dark to light colours, while here it is Light to dark. I guess thats how it would be with molten metal or magma effects
That red is lovely. I'm going to have to use it for the few plasma Pistols I have in my Sisters army. But I think I might make it the flaming red you were talking about.
It might be nice to see this on something that's not a standard coil shape. Or to see how you'd make a take on gems/cockpits (since your plasma method is in a different order than commonly done).
The red plasma is just what I needed to fix my failed orange attempts. Only problem is that casings on my guns are red since they are dark angels... EDIT: I just tried and worked even in the more shalow details of older models. Used regular oil paints intead of mig
I loved the unexpected Simpsons reference at the end - I literally LOLed! Also I guess your plasma tute is kinda good too. Seriously though, I'll use this as my method.
Sorry to be a pain but could you recommend the formula for orange glow? The red looks close to what I want, but wander how you would tackle more of an orange?
You skipped blue plasma! Perhaps the most common plasma color! How dare you! Snrk. But yes, these are some great easy plasma tutorials. They're simple and look great. Probably will be how I do it from now on.
Love this - I'm on a mission to create an orc who's got vibrant glowing tattoos on his chest/arms due to a magic infusion. How can I sell the effect and make it really pop at a table?
I have a question, shouldn't you be able to achieve the same effect with inks instead of oils? It wipes off with water instead of thinner, and you don't have to stink up the room with oil paints, right?
Lol, right when I wrote it, the faq section came up. As an excuse, I don't know if inks are acrylics. And the question is if they work similarly, giving an equivalent outcome. Don't know, sorry.
Inks are of two varieties generally speaking, alcohol based (which we don't use) and acrylic based. The thing is I can blend or clean up oils, so much easier, once the ink dries in 30-40 seconds max that's it, it's there forever, while oils lets me adjust and clean up with no problems It can be done with acrylics but as I say there, this is about creating the SIMPLEST and EASIEST way of doing this.
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Catching up on my playlist is actually on my painting to-do, so I certainly shall be! Keep it up, genuinely had me choking on my coffee in tears. Still giggling.
Amazing! I plan on doing my admech using this technique but using the blue colors laid out in your older video! Do you think this effect could also be used for the admech eyes / lens glows?
Here's a crazy idea -- how would you go about painting white plasma? Or just any standard white light? I'm thinking a very pale yellow or blue, then a slightly darker shade (but still light) on the top and the white oil to finish.
It would basically be a monotone plasma, so essentially black and white or grey and white and you can add some flavour using greys that have a bit of hue
This is fantastic! I'm definitely going to be using this for a couple of my projects. Could this technique be adapted to paint flames as well? Also, in what way does thinned white paint make things more difficult than white oils?
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Thanks! I did catch that bit at the end, but I was just wondering if there were particular pitfalls to look out for if using acrylics instead of oils. Unless it's just a case of needing to build-up layers?
So, these videos have caused what appears to be a nationwide in the US (or possibly even worldwide, based on my searches) shortage of Ammo MIG Oilbrushers - From an order cancellation email I got: "I had not sold a White Oil brusher in over a year and then in two days I received a ton of orders for it?? I cannot fill the order as my distributor is also out of stock now." Would you happen to have recommendations on other oil paints?
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Sorry for missing that in the video! I honestly had avoided using plasma weapons on my minis because painting the effect is intimidating for someone just getting into painting. These video changed that. Grabbed some nice Titanium White from Winsor & Newton and I'm looking forward to the results! Congratulations on reaching "economic force" levels of popularity!
Talk about attention to detail. Pretty sure I've never seen this done before in the hobby space (in one easy click). This video is like a bag of Skittles; we get to taste the rainbow. What's next? Maybe this is a good idea for future videos? One stop shop videos for colors of power armor, eyes, skin tones, etc? Probably redundant in places given the body of your work on this channel. Either way, keep being awesome, primo.
Which drybrush do you use for this effect specifically? I tried the technique but I think my drybrush was too big. t I don't have any drybrushes this small. I had a really hard time getting the OSL around the edges of the plasma.
@JuanHidalgoMiniatures wow thats really cheap. Are they durable?I was thinking of getting Artis Opus, but this is like 75% cheaper. Thank you so much for the speedy reply. I have a bunch of plasma inspectors to paint. I appreciate you.

😂😂😂
@theend Careful, dont give Corsair any ideas!!!!!
It's actually the NMM of miniature painting.... Oh wait we already have that.
Nice
Request for birds?
Do you mean BFG from "Doom"?
I never realized until I saw your videos just how much it ground my gears that people highlighted the TOP of the plasma lines, rather than shading them. It makes so much more sense visually this way around.
It really does
One of the most underrated tutorials out there. Always use this method when it comes to plasma 👌
Thanks mate 😘
Underrated by whom? Seems pretty well received to me.
Always love your blend of inspirational painting and spot on humour mate
Thanks 😘
Absolutely love the red plasma look, my favorite of all these by far~
Thanks
I have been asking around for a good yellow plasma, and when I saw it on the thumbnail, I knew that's what I was looking for!
Happy to help
Im trying the red one using yellow for that fiery effect you mentioned and it looks amazing, thank you very much!! 🦎🔥
Amazing! This is so ridiculously useful, can’t wait to steal all of these
Awesome!
This is making me want to re-paint all my plasma.
Give it a try!
Thanks so much for this video, helped me nail down a plasma color, going to be using the Cold Green for my Dark Krakens.
Awesome!!
my tyranid brains are gonna look so sick, thx man!
Happy to help!
The yellow in my white was what I needed for my green plasma!
Interesting how plasma is basically the reverse of what is usually done - Dark to light colours, while here it is Light to dark. I guess thats how it would be with molten metal or magma effects
Yes, to me it's what makes the most sense
That red is lovely. I'm going to have to use it for the few plasma Pistols I have in my Sisters army. But I think I might make it the flaming red you were talking about.
I have been looking for a purple plasma glow tutorial for months and this is perfect. Great, work and keep these videos coming.
Thanks 😘
Love the old plasma marine meme in the background. I always meant to build one of my own, but never got around to it.
It's so funny

I like that the white Nowhere brush basically sold out everywhere :D
Lol, happy to help getting the knowledge of a great product out!
Also any oil paint will work
Thank you for sharing these tips, thanks to this technique, plasma cannons are easily made and have a great effect! Thank you!
Happy to help
Love the picture on your shelf, "plasma weapons... totally worth it".
Seems appropriate 🤣🤣
That frame is the best purchase I've ever made
Thank you , Juan .
🐺
😘
Fantastic, I've been dying to try glow effect, you have now made it straightforward, thank you
Happy to help
A friend recommended your plasma tutorial to me, and it really is incredible! The cold green coils are definitely going on my Word Bearers
Thanks mate
That was a great answer to the final question, Mr. Burn- I mean, Mr. Hidalgo
😂😂😂
Thank you for this applying this technique to my chaos knights
YES
im very impressed, how would you go about with the ork mek with shokk attack gun?
that warm purple, cold green and orange are excellent color combinations :D
Thanks
Amazing video and tutorial mate thank you I really think I can do that! Thanks so much or teaching us
Happy to help!!
YOU CAN DO IT!
The Simpsons reference had my rolling, well played sir, well played!
Thanks
Bureaucrat here. Blue paint is amazing. Buy more of it!
Lol
Great tutorial Juan. This will really help me, AND you already answered my two questions at the end. Glad I watched the whole thing!
The end is always the best bit
Wow !
The ammo white goes up the fiches instead of flowing into the recesses !
Very weird. I'm going to try this.
Thank you !
If you don't overload the brush it won't go everywhere, need to be careful
Just saw this. Can't wait to try it soon. Thank you for showing how to do it easier.
Happy to help 😘
Thats what we need on a Monday afternoon, a nice slice of Juan!
Only the juiciest bits
This is really helpful :D Thanks! I need to try that purple plasma with my Alpha Legion.
Happy to help 😘
The thumbnail for this video is PERFECT!! Love your work my man!
Thanks 😘
It's simple enough to do for the average painter and it looks really good. Very good video 👍
Thanks 😘
It might be nice to see this on something that's not a standard coil shape. Or to see how you'd make a take on gems/cockpits (since your plasma method is in a different order than commonly done).
This won't work for gems as you need the brightest point to be in the center of the gem and the oil wash can't do that
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures I think it would be great for Tyranid Bio-Weapons tho! I’d try that
Absolutely great video/ tutorial! Great idea to show colors for each mix. TY
Happy to help 😘
The red plasma is just what I needed to fix my failed orange attempts. Only problem is that casings on my guns are red since they are dark angels...
EDIT: I just tried and worked even in the more shalow details of older models. Used regular oil paints intead of mig
Then I suggest you don't do orange because it's going to be too similar. There's a reason the EM team chose blue for them
That box of hellblasters finally came good 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
You gave me food for thought, I'm going to count how many blue types of paint I have..... Maybe it's worth stocking up... ;)
😂😂😂
As I said in the previous video, amazing technique and tutorial. I'll have to buy white oil paint after seeing this. Keep the good stuff going Juan!
Gracias guapo 😘
I loved the unexpected Simpsons reference at the end - I literally LOLed!
Also I guess your plasma tute is kinda good too. Seriously though, I'll use this as my method.
Thanks
This is a great glow effect, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching 😘
Thank you so much for such an awesome video!! Its great to have so many different combinations!
Happy to help 😘
Always an awesome tutorial i'll show this yo My newphew who is new to painting tbx man
VIEWS FOR THE VIEWS GOD
Thanks for this tutorial I try this tomorrow! 👌🏻🙏🏻
Awesome
This is really helpful. Thanks for making this video.
Thanks for watching 😘
Another great video
Thanks
Sorry to be a pain but could you recommend the formula for orange glow? The red looks close to what I want, but wander how you would tackle more of an orange?
Great video! this really helped, much appreciated.
Happy to help!
And I thought your last video was your best how to paint glow effect video
😘
"Le sigh..." I just wrapped up painting som primaris and one had a plasma.... And then I watched this video... (goes back to the painting table)
Lol
You skipped blue plasma! Perhaps the most common plasma color! How dare you!
Snrk. But yes, these are some great easy plasma tutorials. They're simple and look great. Probably will be how I do it from now on.
That's the first one I did
if i want to change the red to an orange glow what paint swaps would you recommend? would you stick with the red tile and white blend?
Love this - I'm on a mission to create an orc who's got vibrant glowing tattoos on his chest/arms due to a magic infusion. How can I sell the effect and make it really pop at a table?
Not like this. That's way more complex and requires careful glazing
Juan you are the best, this is amazing!
Thanks 😘
i cant believe JH made a simpsons reference, this video is a 10/10
Thanks 😘
Juan ur Amazing! brother thank you 😊 🙏
Thanks 😘
Ah. The MVP is back with some painting hacks! Thank you.
Happy to help 😘
Ah, had a mishap with the hobby knife ? RIP the finger 😂
For the red coils can i just use lugganath oil instead of the red tile oil/white oil?
Learning and laughing :-) your videos are really great!
Thanks mate
*The sudden urge to redo every plasma gun in my entire army*
😂😂
I came for the plasma tutorial, and the kicker was the simpsons reference.
😂
Thanks
I love this video, bit I'm struggling trying to do this with orange. Do you have any tips or suggested paints to use?
Orange is not the best colour to Drybrush with, I would just do the red one but don't go as red at the end
the yellow + white mix around 2:50 looks like ice yellow from AV...
It does because Ice Yellow and Dorn Yellow are exactly the same colour
What do you have against blue?
Mr Burns, what did you think of JH newest video? Burns: Excellent.
😂😂
Next stop: Rainbow Plasma!
YEAH
You avoided to use pure white oil to finish when painting green and red plasma, what is the factor that depends on for using pure white or not?
It's all about saturation, white can desaturate the color too much and red and bright green are specially sensible to that
Great stuff friend 👏 👍
Thanks
Love you for listening! #Lone
😘
I have a question, shouldn't you be able to achieve the same effect with inks instead of oils? It wipes off with water instead of thinner, and you don't have to stink up the room with oil paints, right?
Lol, right when I wrote it, the faq section came up. As an excuse, I don't know if inks are acrylics. And the question is if they work similarly, giving an equivalent outcome. Don't know, sorry.
Oil paints don't stink, that's why you use Odorless Thinner.
Apart from that I answer that question at the end of the video in the FAQ section
Inks are of two varieties generally speaking, alcohol based (which we don't use) and acrylic based.
The thing is I can blend or clean up oils, so much easier, once the ink dries in 30-40 seconds max that's it, it's there forever, while oils lets me adjust and clean up with no problems
It can be done with acrylics but as I say there, this is about creating the SIMPLEST and EASIEST way of doing this.
Quite possibly the best opening scene i've seen in a good while 🤣
Watch the previous three videos, I've been killing it lately
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Catching up on my playlist is actually on my painting to-do, so I certainly shall be! Keep it up, genuinely had me choking on my coffee in tears. Still giggling.
My favourite so far is the Slapchop Cadian Infantry video. I'm very proud of that one
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures It appears i'm about to embark on a journey 😂 Look forward to it!
Gracias por el video!
A ti guapetón 😘
Is it best to base the plasma area in white first before applying the colours or just from the black primer?
White is best
@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Thanks man appreciate the tutorial 👌
Amazing! I plan on doing my admech using this technique but using the blue colors laid out in your older video!
Do you think this effect could also be used for the admech eyes / lens glows?
Maybe a tad too small I'm afraid
Muy buena juan!!🔥🔥
Gracias

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Thanks! I did catch that bit at the end, but I was just wondering if there were particular pitfalls to look out for if using acrylics instead of oils. Unless it's just a case of needing to build-up layers?
It's a matter of not being able to clean up or blend your white wash after it dryes
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures I see. Thanks for the tip!
Looks amazing! what colors do you advise for the blue coils?
The video is linked in the description
Amazing video! 🎉
What synthetic brush do you like to use for the oil step? I’m trying to buy some new ones but am not sure what to get
Whatever one I have next to me, it doesn't matter
13:13 People, please don't be afraid of using oils and enamels. They're an absolute game changer!
They are indeed

Will air brush thinner work for the oil paints?
No
So any white spirit thinner will work?
Yes, white spirits will work
Cant tell if you thinn it down with water or something ?
Got got som ammo mig oilbrushers they are quite thick
I'm telling you in the video, of course they are thinned down using Odorless Thinner
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures any specific brand ? Or type ?
All odorless thinners are the same, you can use white spirits as well. I buy some generic one that comes in litre bottles
