Without a doubt you are one of the best users of Contrast, before your series I was very skeptical about the paint itself. You really threw me off with the start! The filter changes it all. Really love your work, please keep it up! KING JUAN
Seriously, best paint tutor on YT! I did the Drazar tutorial, it came out great. Also his fool proof plasma is great. Out of all the painters, I've learned the most from Juan!
I love that colour filtering trick. It's something I really need to experiment more with myself. Personally I did my best to follow the 'Eavy Metal recipe down to the letter when painting my Lion, which was a challenge as I normally don't even dare to try volumetric highlights. It was worth it in the end however. Also went with a red cape and robes instead of green as I saw that on the cover of Lion's Horus Heresy novell and I dig that look on him. Magnetised the heads too, because there was no way I was ever gonna choose one head without instantly regretting it as soon as the glue dried.
Howdy, the oil painting on the cloak is making me seriously rethink what paints I "write off" for mini painting. I knew of an oil painter doing minis on here on youtube, but darn I just didn't quite like the results....seeing it in this case makes me think well oh boy, gotta do a revisit!
A delight to watch as always my man, kudos to you for how you do all this with your family and job priorities. I get an hour of painting a night after all the wee ones are finally down😅
I am currently painting the Lion and I was delaying the armour and focusing on the rest to see how you were going to do the armour, I am glad I waited. Hopefully you can do the sword video soon as I am not liking the way I painted it
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Out of curiosity have you tried the Army Painter Speed Paint 2.0 and do you recommend them? Is there a paint you would recommend and being better overall?
You are still second to none in contrast and much more ,love your videos mate ! You are always thinking ahead ! It is awesome how you approach with contrasts.Much love much respects !
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures You know, Im usually in my oil paint stuff but I always give it a watch ,because you are knocking me out with your contrast style,really .
Been waiting on this one from you for a while. Glad to see you chose the Tywin Lannister head head too! Who doesn't want Charles Dance leading their Legion
Another comment, gotta tell you Juan, I noticed something. When I watch your videos, I breath slower. My heart rate goes down. I didn't notice that until I watched one while I was having a very bad mental health day and about 20 minutes into the video I had forgotten all about the things that drove me nuts that day. You're a hero
I don't have any contrast medium or a store where I can get any around me. This is the method I'm really wanting use though! Can lahmian medium or water be used to make the dark angels green filter?
@JuanHidalgoMiniatures that's what I was afraid of. I wish my local store actually kept paint stocked. Thank you for the response! Amazing video also! I've learned so much from watching your videos
Because first o didn't have enough time to film everything, if I did that would have been like an hour, hour and a half video, and third because I wanted to try something new for me as an experiment. For the bone parts I tried a new paint that I can't really showcase yet and for the green I did an airbrush layer with oil paints on top.
Doing other details near armour thats been so worked on gives me so much anxiety! I'd be too afraid to paint anything on that armour till it was the last thing.
Is the tint technique you’ve pioneered applicable to shyish purple? I really enjoy your tutorials. Black base>Thunderhawk Blue>fenrisian grey>blue horror then tint with shyish. I want to replicate but it in a very dark violet hue.

Love how you didn’t change much from the box art, but it’s still more vibrant.
Thanks 😘

Thanks!
As usual my only complaint (Yes! COMPLAINT, you read that correctly) is that you don't upload more often. Superb as usual, many thanks!
I do what I can, it's really hard to script, film, edit all by myself while having a normal job and a family 🤣
You do an amazing job man!!! Thanks a lot for everything you do :) Lion looks amazing
Thanks 😘
@JuanHidalgo Miniatures time to get a camera man and go pro. You owe it to the world to make it a better place with your superb content!
I wish I was making enough money to be able to pay for employees 🤣

I can't be arsed with magnets
Thanks Juan, I always learn a lot from your tutorials! ❤
Thanks mate 😘
My jaw hit the floor when you put the thin layer of green contrast over the amour - it was like watching a magic trick!
My dude, you've been such a help. Sincerely, thank you. It's a rare talent to be able to share and encourage passion.
Thanks mate, appreciated
I finally got my hands on the Lion and put him together this morning, super excited to paint him using your method. Thanks for another awesome video!!
Thanks for watching 😘
Thank you , Juan .
🐺
😘
Have been following your draz'har guide so awesome to see the same technique can be used on the lion, great tutorial
Thanks, glad you liked it!

You really should, they are an INCREDIBLE tool you just have to be patient with the drying times
those tinting results just fully blew my mind.
Happy to help 😘
A delight to watch as always my man, kudos to you for how you do all this with your family and job priorities. I get an hour of painting a night after all the wee ones are finally down😅

Next weekend
This is just the tutorial I was looking for thanks!
Happy to help
that Dark Angels Green coat over the highlighted black actually gives me an idea for some necron vehicle armor :o
Yeah, it's a great technique
you have gold hand friend , epic good job !!
Thanks
Awesome piece of work! New secret paints? You drop the bomb and hope I will survive this hype? Juan don't do this to my poor heart 😂
😘
DAAAAAAAAMN 😮😮😮 awesome....you are a true inspiration.... fantastic job
Thanks
That looks amazing!
Thanks
Have you considered putting together a full lion painting video? Maybe on your Patreon :) ?
Another great video, thank you.
Thank you for watching
Next video : How to paint Lion El Jonson while out of stock ( sponsored by Ebay )
He will be back very soon
This method would look really good on Drukhari models too
Oh yeah, I did a very similar scheme for Drazar, check it out!
Love the chapter names 😂
Wait, chapters??? I didn't make any for this video
Finally a recipe tomatch the box!
Very proud how close it is too
Secret paints?! Sweetness!!
🤫🤫🤫
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Vallejo xpress new colors?!
No idea what you are talking about
Very good job.
Thanks
I had an idea of doing something similar but wasnt sure what colors to go underneath my contrast on the black, thanks!
Happy to help
Love the video
Gracias guapo 😘
Man I wish I could see such small details and had that much brush control.
Use magnification, helps a lot and brush control is about practice
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures I am going to invest in a wearable magnifying set so it will be easier.
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Out of curiosity have you tried the Army Painter Speed Paint 2.0 and do you recommend them? Is there a paint you would recommend and being better overall?
I haven't sorry
Hola Juan! Como estas? Tienes el video completo en tu patreon sobre como pintarlo? Muchas gracias!
Por desgracia no, solo está este video y el de la espada.
You are still second to none in contrast and much more ,love your videos mate ! You are always thinking ahead !
It is awesome how you approach with contrasts.Much love much respects !
Thanks, much appreciated
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures You know, Im usually in my oil paint stuff but I always give it a watch ,because you are knocking me out with your contrast style,really .
Well, the cape here was painted with oils, and I'm planning on a full video about oils very soon!
Been waiting on this one from you for a while. Glad to see you chose the Tywin Lannister head head too! Who doesn't want Charles Dance leading their Legion
Exactly
Hi, newbie here. I’m wondering which of your other videos cover the techniques and details that I would need to apply here to finish the Lion. TIA!
I have another for the sword, but not for the rest sorry
Hi Juan, is there a tutorial video for the whole miniature?
No, just this video and the sword in a second one
Would the results be near the same if I were to not use black Templar over mechanicus? And instead do a black prime and basecoat then the highlights?
Yeah very similar, just harder to do because you have to highlight more
Bit late to the game but do you have any tips on how to paint the cloak?
Another comment, gotta tell you Juan, I noticed something. When I watch your videos, I breath slower. My heart rate goes down. I didn't notice that until I watched one while I was having a very bad mental health day and about 20 minutes into the video I had forgotten all about the things that drove me nuts that day. You're a hero
That just made my day, thanks
is there a lion followup clip? cant find
I don't have any contrast medium or a store where I can get any around me. This is the method I'm really wanting use though! Can lahmian medium or water be used to make the dark angels green filter?
Lahmian probably but Contrast Medium is better
@JuanHidalgoMiniatures that's what I was afraid of. I wish my local store actually kept paint stocked. Thank you for the response! Amazing video also! I've learned so much from watching your videos
Great vid but why did you skip painting the cloth and face ? Was that on purpose ?
Because first o didn't have enough time to film everything, if I did that would have been like an hour, hour and a half video, and third because I wanted to try something new for me as an experiment.
For the bone parts I tried a new paint that I can't really showcase yet and for the green I did an airbrush layer with oil paints on top.
Hello sir. I'm new in painting. Do you use any primer before spraying with base colour?
The base spray IS the primer.
Any spray will act as a primer over plastic pretty much
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Thank you for answer and your amazing work!)
Happy to help
Hello Juan, there is the full tuto on your patreon?
No, sorry. This is all there is plus the sword video
Great work!
How do you mix paints in parts/ratios?
By drops. All my paints are in dropper bottles
i have to ask. what is the reason you use Templar on grey to make it black. why not just go straight black if that is the case.
Because we have some highlights these way
Hola Juan, cómo vas con la gama xpress? No resultan poco pigmentados para trabajar con ellos sin base debajo?
No, si necesitas más intensidad siempre puedes dar dos capas pero yo me estoy pintando un ejercito con ellos y solo doy una capa
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures me alegrará ver más contenido usando exclusivamente xpress, gracias campeón
A ti guapetón, mira mis videos de la Guardia Imperial
Doing other details near armour thats been so worked on gives me so much anxiety! I'd be too afraid to paint anything on that armour till it was the last thing.
You get used to it with practice
Danos una pista sobre esas nuevas pinturas que mencionas de refilón... Son de GW o de otra compañía?
Creo que es bastante fácil de deducir, ya que comenté hace algún tiempo que más colores estaban de camino
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures si no recuerdo mal, debieran ser las Xpress, que no eran demasiadas inicialmente… 🤔
Any chance you give me an idea how to create the sword? I am struggling:(
Video is coming next week but I can suggest you try my How to Paint - TMM SWORDS video if you want a true metallics look
I'll wait a week. Thanks for all the videos. ❤
What is that wonderful background music
Thanks! I'm very happy with it
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures No 😭, I’m asking where is the music from? I forgot to put the “?”, I would like to listen to I while I paint :)
@YoungMagic111 I honestly can't remember where I got it from, 100% sure is from the RUclips audio library
Would there be any major difference if I were to prime black then basecoat the mechanicus?
Not for the back no, but if you want to paint the robes bone.... Yeah that would be miserable but who I'm I to judge
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures true lol, also what brush did you use for the highlights and applying the washes?
Same for everything, Rosemary and Co series 33 size 3, I think I used a 2 here and there too. You have a link in the description
Well done, too bad we mere mortals can't get our hands on it...
You will be able very soon
I prefer your version, way poppier. I'm curious about this secret sauce now 🤔
Coming out very soon, I'm getting the last batch for testing today actually.
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Eeeeexcellent....
Fantastic job, master.
Gracias 😊
There is no way I will paint a DA or the Lion green but great video.
You can always stop at the black stage
24 new Vallejo Xpress colours by any chance?
24? That sounds like too few
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures sounds great
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Don't tease us so! 🤩
Continue this video on lion el johnson
I can't, it's already painted and for the most part I used the paints I'm testing for the Xpress Color expansion coming out soon or oil paints
Doing fenrisian grey on the lion just doesn’t sit right lol…😅
MUAHAHHAHAHAHA
Is the tint technique you’ve pioneered applicable to shyish purple? I really enjoy your tutorials.
Black base>Thunderhawk Blue>fenrisian grey>blue horror then tint with shyish. I want to replicate but it in a very dark violet hue.
Yeah but I would personally try Leviathan Purple instead as it's more saturated. But you can try Shyish if you want
Thank you so much for the response! Time to test these on different contrasts: JH tint series 😃
Los primeros 10 segundos 🤣🤣🤣
😘
Tremendous work, like ever.
Love your work but hate your goldfingerz
That's what she said!
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures but she loves... your brush liking technique?
It's s fan favourite
Sadly, in order to paint the Lion you would have needed to get one... Im so sad..
Just wait a little bit
