I had the opportunity to paint one of the new Necron C'tan Void Dragons. I wanted to paint the model to fit my other 9th Edition Necrons, of which you can find a video here: • Paint AMAZING 10th Edi... so I used mostly metallics and washes to adapt tones and create transitions.

fantastic use of colours.
This is the weirdest oscar I've ever seen.
I'm late to the party, but mate, this is a great video! :)
Thanks!
Love the metal skin color, reminds me of an Art Deco statue on a building.
yeah, that was a big thought i had!
I absolutely love those colours. The gold skin against the red energy beams just gels fantastically. Overall an excellent guide, you've definitely earned a thumbs up!
The only thing I can add to this comment section is that you have inspired me and I am certain others as well to try out new approaches to painting our miniatures. Thank you very much Trov!
happy to hear that!
Damn! That’s an absolutely killer paint job on every level, from the contrasting colour scheme to the glowing metal effects. A real knockout
This is pretty fantastic. Aside from just painting the model by brush, not just by airbrush like many big minipainting youtubers do (feels great to me since I don't have one), you also subtly explain the value of color theory and really show how powerful it can be. I'm also a huge fan of using washes in creative ways, something I find many frowning upon for some reason, but you've used them in a fantastic way- and not just in this video.
Seldom have I subscribed to someone the same day I found them, today I did. Can't wait to see more from you, and you'll be the one on my monitor when I paint the coming days.
Excellent.
Outstanding! That really looks great! Thank you for sharing with us!
Was super happy when I saw you tease this model after seeing a few others post theirs painted up pre release.
Hope to see a few more like this in future for the odd GW release ;) Either way keep it up! Much love from Australia !!
Amazing smooth conversion and the result is beautifull
This was incredibly elegant! How deftly you used the glazes to produce such a riveting energy effect in particular amazed me. I felt like all of this was clearly explained and achievable. Thank you!
Great job! Learned a ton again! Really appreciate it and FANTASTIC work!
I don't think I've ever sub'd to a creator on youtube after watching just one video. Wow. This was an amazing watch. What you did with the fluorescent paint and blending it in so seamlessly still has me in awe.
That paint application, the technique, the use of filters... Flawless
Thank you for sharing all your knowledge on your channel
Beautiful as always and very helpful. Also I must say that your editing has improved with every new video!
thank you!
Lovely model, great paintjob!
This is the first ever video I've seen from you, and I now have to bingewatch everything! Amazing work.
awww...thanks! too kind :)
absolutely amazing paint job and tutorial
Really enjoying your Necron videos. Hugely inspiring as I do my own Necron force
great! thank you!
This is unreal I can’t stop watching this video the way you paint it and break it down Is such a helpful tool. The yirel yellow and the red against the metallic gold colour is stunning to look at. 🤘🤘🤘
Thanks! Happy you like it!
Wow! Just wow! If this was a box art I would consider buying this model. Great job on painting and thank you for the video, Christoph!
You make it look so easy!
Great video. Love the varied techniques and now I got to go buy more stuff!
This looks great man!
awesome as usual my dude
Looks sick!
So good, thanks for sharing.
Love it! I've never been drawn to anything 40k before but this model is sick (especially your conversion of the base)
Thank you! it really is a nice model! I'll have to paint another one in nmm!
Fantastic !! Finally got around to watching this this morning... I love this model.. you've definitely elevated it with your own twist to the base.. good work... there's been some great paint jobs on this.. but this is definitely up there with one I might rip off when I get my model... superb work !!
thanks!
Beautiful work! Instant subscribe.
Impressive, I first saw it on the GW website but seeing the process makes it even more impressive!
Very good video, very nice painting scheme.
Very Cool! Very simply techniques, done by a master, makes great results seem attainable, by plebes like myself ;-) ! Thank you, Sir!
Great conversion. And love the glow effect on the spear and glowey bits. No sold on the metal skin but fantastic as always to see your thought process and your artistic magic happen.
Wow! just wow man.
Using the oyou...
Ouyo...
Oi-you....
...blue stuff/thermal plastic silicone to duplicate basing bits is genius! And a great way to make more bits for bases on the cheap!
Incredible!
thanks!
Really well done and thank you for showing me the FX Fluor Paint set. Maybe I'll paint my admech with these!
thanks!
Looks absolutely stunning! Looking forward to buying this kit (expensive AF!) and doing one!
This is great!
Lovely!
I’m so glad I stumbled upon you thanks to a Midwinter Minis video. You have not failed to impress thus far.
holy hell, thats awesome
You are my favorite painter.
love it ! thank you : D
thanks!
That's amazing
wow dude. I have to try your approach to metal colours. Personally i feel more comfortable with nmm, but your take on metals is really interesting! the model came out supernice btw!
Thank you! I prefer NMM too. But I kinda wanted it to fit my other necrons :) I will have to get another one and paint it nmm though...
Good TMM is a pleasure
This was my favorite of the Void Dragon minis in the Warhammer Community article about painting them, I just love the colours.
I was surprised to see that this looks, well, not easy to replicate, but do-able. Perhaps I'll have a go :)
Masterpiece!
This is beautiful. I can't wait to contribute to the Patreon when I'm able.
Thanks for the brass tip (from the other necron video). I've been using the warplord bronze GW's sells for a while, but that looks great!
Very, very nice!
Love it!
Mega. Hab's gleich mal nach gemacht. :) Ganz schön scary die Blitze abzuschneiden :D
Absolutly Amazing. Bravo! For me, the Best Void Dragon of the net ( with the one from sergio calvo, very closely)
Amazing
Great video as always! Absolutely love this new editing approach you are going for - short, sweet and bite-sized.
I'm not rushing to buy a void dragon, but I'm going to - well try to, apply the same techniques of matte/shiny contrast to that damned warlord I keep saying I've finished.
Still think that that one looks great!
wow, awesome
Im impressed. Didnt even know such things exist.
A tutorial on my level, awesome stuff
The greenish tint that VMC gold has is usually hard to work with for me, but it's perfect here.
thanks!
Esta brutal 👍👍
Hello. I don't know how i never found this channel before. Just saw you judge Guy's mini on midwinter minis. Came over and subbed. All the best
thanks bud! welcome!
Best man
"simple" color scheme but wow ! That looks amazing !! =D
Somebody now a Citadel alternative for the red that he used
.
Thank you
And super cool video and great paint model btw!!!!
there is no GW fluo paints.
@@trovarion OK thank you
@@jakob9200 If you want a nice red for glow effects there's SEVERAL manufacturers these days offering fluorescent paints, just yesterday i saw a video by Two Raven Studios where he did a *thorough* review of multiple fluo paints from various brands, looking for the absolute brightest ones since he has a project for this, look it up as i think it's the best review of fluo paints for minipainting i've seen (so far, he didn't cover some brands so maybe we'll see part 2 at some point) and you'll likely find the color or shade you like :)
that is fucking amazing fair play
Amazing work! Really love how everything comes together in the end! One question! What kind of emerald is it that you’re using for the stones! Is it the regular emerald from Vallejo? Thanks in advance
Yes
Outstanding work man as always! One question though, for some reason I didn’t think you airbrushes, but you do! Which model airbrush do you use and any tips? Cheers man either though, keep on making these videos
H&S infinity. I have a few recommendation in the comments. But it depends on how you want to use it, if you only need it for basic stuff you can go for a lot cheaper model.
@@trovarion thanks man. This is amazing anyway
Love the video, and your earlier 9th edition Necrons video inspired me to take the same approach with my army. I also use the Vallejo Metal Color Dark Aluminum over a black primer, but I've found that if I use it straight out of the bottle onto a smooth surface, it seems to not cover very well and overall just seems extremely runny. A 2nd or 3rd coat usually does the trick to make it seems like an even coat of metal, but anything less than that it almost looks splotchy. In your video here it seems like the metal color coats pretty thickly on the wings, are you going straight from the bottle to the model when you use it? Do you need multiple coats or does one seem to do the trick for you?
Love the content and this model looks amazing! I will likely use most of these tips when painting mine!
Straight from the bottle but usually needs a second coat to cover completely. Make sure to shake it well.
It's Kuh-Tan! you help me with all manner of painting, I help you with pronouncing a made up word. really interesting use of metallics!
I haven't played warhammer in 15 years, but this model is causing me to want to return to the hobby. It's so goddamn cool.
Thats phenominal!!
thanks!
@@trovarion The quality you produce is the reason i follow.
Wow
Could you maybe show how to paint nice contrast White Scars. White is very intimidiating for most. I wonder if you would start with Grey Prime to get better transition to white (like apo or ul grey) or with black and build then darker grey, then brigher grey and move slowly to white.
Please kindly consider doing full white armor with your "Eavier than Metal". Thank you
See this on the warhammer Community site
Thanks for showing us your processes
Um, wth is this witchcraft? What did I just watch? That was some incredible brushwork. I just watched with my jaw open for 17 minutes. Great stuff, man.
Looking great, love the skin especially. Any tips on highlighting with the Vallejo Metal Color? it's so fluid that its sometimes hard to control. Thanks!
I have used the white aluminium for highlights in the past. I tend to get some on my brush then place the brush onto some kitchen roll to soak up some of the more watery bits before applying.
Joshua gave a good reply!
Sweet, i’ll give that more of a go. Sometimes i try to mix a thicker paint like scale75 metal, but then i lose some of the shine.
Looks super nice! Do you thin the black templar before shading the silver?
yes! various grades of thinning, according to how opaque i want the layer.
@@trovarion with water?
@@XavierArnau399 yes. I am lazy. you can use the medium and see if it helps!
Great Work! what is the name of the blue stuff you used to make the mold?
Instant sil blue
Wow. Very cool! Do you know how many hours you spent on this (including the base)?
Since I worked 100 hours this week across all jobs...no idea :D But I worked on it somewhere in the ballpark of 4 days, but with filming (which means i had to position cameras, reposition ofr takes, etc. etc.)
Really great painting
Do you have tips for using oyumaru? Mine keep sticking to each other.
I've used blu stuff quite a bit. If you are struggling with the stuff sticking together, let the stuff cool down as much as you can, then just add water! Just make sure it's covered, then add your hot piece right on top. If that doesn't work, you can always try the trick used on silicone moulds, talc. Just dust some on and apply the hot piece with most of the water gone. Then you can wash any talc left. Hope it helps!
I have it stick a little, it's usually np for me and helps with less flash forming, imo. But it depends what you prefer of course. DeVoideID made some great suggestions!
Looks really cool with the red lightning effect (also I think it’s pronounced Seh-tan )
pretty sure its ka-tan
@@martinfllan9163 yeah, K'tan.
Nice video, as always ! Awesome paintjob and awesome composition !
I've a question for you or the community :
Vallejo metal color (airbrush) are the best metal colors I have tried so far. I've see lot of miniatures painters using the aluminium color (vallejo), especially for mixing with other paints.
- Did they use Duraluminium or Dull aluminium ? and what is the difference ?
- Why don't using silver or chrome paint ?
- What metal colors did you consider mandatory to possess to not have too much paint but not to be too limited ? (I come back to the hobby after 10 years not painting).
Thank you in advance !
Duraluminium - Dull aluminium - I never heard of these colors. Are we talking about the same metallics?
silver/chrome - idk! I used these because they are ok. why not use carpaint? why not use color X, why not use color Y, why not...irrelevant really. Use them if you like to use them!
you dont need that many metallic colors. a medium tone (Dark Aluminium e.g.) and a very bright tone (White Aluminium) are enough. You can always darken the medium tone by mixing in black or by washing it.
@@trovarion Thank you for taking the time to answer me. It is really helpfull. There is so much "fancy" product for miniatures now. keep up your great work. It is really inspiring and it push me to challenge myself.
I apologize if you've answered this already, but when you use contrast paint like with the stones, do you just add it to your wet palette? I've seen a few people suggest not to, the same with the GW shades? Also, I absolutely love the finish you achieved on this model! The stones look almost like jade, it's a really wonderful effect.
i put everything on a wetpalette but metallics.
@@trovarion I appreciate your response, thanks!
Grax x tus videos, ojalá pudieras tenerlos con subtítulos en español FELICIDADES
I don't speak spanish, so no idea how I would be able to make spanish subtitles. I also don't have the monetary capacity to pay someone to do it.
Grax eres buenísimo y grax x tu respuesta tan rápida 👍🏻
@@jaimecastellanosnavarro9516 no hablo espagnol...
Love it. Can the same energy effect be done using Vallejo fluro red?
oh, i didnt know there was a vallejo fluo red, but yeah, definitely.
Ah, its called "Fluorescent Red" but it's definitely more of an orange out of the bottle.
@@trovarion Here's a VERY thorough review of several fluo paints from several brands that i found yesterday, comparing them to each other and rating their shades, brightness and whatever, it's a nice thing to keep in mind as fluos are fucking magic: ruclips.net/video/-h0b_OWuLBk/видео.html
@@jherazob excellent, thank you
What's that you're spraying the model with after you pin? Varnish? Some sort of spray adhesive?
*edit: Nevermind, it's apparently 'activator spray' for the superglue*
exactly!
Do u think that a zenithal undercoat is worth it if your going to apply a fairly opaque base coat
no.
Cool pose and good colourscheme. But I do not like the green parts on the tail. They do not fit well with the rest of the colours.
Also, nice tutorial of the blue putty sculpting.
just one sprue... $130 canadian... but it's cool, especially after you painted it. Love the "dirty" hands and feet.
Can you make a tutorial for black armor?
i have a black templar video.
love the idea of the Thermoplastic to sculpt duplicates easier does anyone know where to find this stuff?
it's called "instant sil blue" or "Oyumaru", like I say in the video - if you put it into google, you'll get tons of results of shops selling it.
@@trovarion thanks dude! sorry couldn't find it i misheard and thought it was "instant seal blue" and it came up with plumbing supplies 😂
this is beautiful but I have a question , if I want to use normal paints and not contrast or washes (cause I dont have all of the required) what colours will do for the stones and the green/turqoise/emeraldy green on the wings ?
I mean, it's not a must to use Contrast paint to achieve transparent paint, you can mix the emerald/torquoise with washes...or just regular water. the transparent nature of the contrast paint just makes the applycation easier in my opinion.
@@trovarion oh ok , is there an equivalent of emerald in GW product line ? sorry for the questions Im 2 months into the hobby
any torquise will do. when in doubt you can always mix a bit of green in. Something good to learn early on is not to get too hung up on color tones. just get something similar.
what is that blue stuff you used to cast those i cant find those
instant sil blue
Awesome video, simple but effective tecnchique. You´re awesome. I always have truble with Vallejo metal colors, but I use instead Liquid Gold and liquid Silver. If I use them with the brush It seems to be like if I put the brush into a can of glue, it´s very sticky and smells like if has a lot of disolvent. And With airbrush I´ve lot of truble to clean it. I do love the color but I feel it´s too difficult to manage. Do you have the same truble? Any tipo to avoid this? I have to clean always with Whit spirit. Thank you.
I have used vallejo metal colours as well (the big bottles) and I find them super thin rather than goopy. If you need to thin them, I suggest using a couple of drops of IPA, flow improver or lahmium medium helps greatly.
liquid gold and liquid silver are not waterbased as far as i know? they are alcohol based. I don't use them because of that. I only use acrylics.Try the suggestions DeVoice ID Dee recommended!
@@trovarion Thank you so much. I think I´ve purchase the grong material. Indeed are not water based colors. The shine they have is amazing but difficult to use, and the pigment is always stucked at the botton of the bottle. Now I don´t know how to do with this colors...jejeje. Thank you for show me my mistake.
@@devoiceiddee7459 Thank you so much. I really aprecciate you comment. I make a mistake purchasing the product... because the ones that I have are not water based colors... now I´m sure. Thank you so much.
@@josemariacampos2572 no problem, mate!
Just a tip for you. When I watch this video I want to buy this mini to try to paint it like you do, so it woul be good for you to insert a link to a shop to buy the mini you´re painting in each video. May be you can get the mini for free and earn some extra money whit this awesome videos you´re doing for us. Other painters has a partnership whit some on-line shops, not GW, but generic ones, retailers...If you know what I mean. It also can work on your Patreon. Regards.
yeah, i see what you mean! :) I have an element games UK link in the description - i need some more partners in other regions though, that's true!
Trovarion out of curiosity as someone who just returned to the hobby after 20+ year break, how much time do you invest in a mini to this quality? The reason I'm asking is that I feel I spend far too much time to get a mini to tabletop standard, we're talking 5 hours for a mini or even more.
it took some time, but not that much, since a lot of it was indeed washes and washes applied through airbrush, which saves time of course. I cannot really say how long, because I don't have a feeling for time when I paint and also I had to film of course, while painting, which dillutes everything a lot more. Ultimately....you should do what you like. If you enjoy taking longer for your minis...take as long as you need. If you are having fun with it, that's what you should do. Unless you are in a hurry to finish an army for an event, you should not rush through it and hopefully people will understand and wont be dicks when they play against part of your army not being painted. And if they don't then you should find some nicer people to play with :)
@@trovarion Oh I don't really paint to play, I paint because I missed painting, but I just feel I keep going back to my minis correcting things and hence never actually finishing a mini. You and Marco Frisoni are my main inspirations when it comes to painting and I just love your and his work.
