A fun trick I stumbled across to do color-accented black like you did on the talons is actually sort of the reverse of how you laid it down - I do a layer of basilicanum grey over the area, then cover that with the contrast paint I want to be the highlight color. They mix down into an almost perfect black with the top contrast paint poking out on the edges/raised bits. I was trying to find a way to avoid edge highlighting black boots and it ended up working out great!

[@Inconvenient_NPC]

Don't forget to pour the excess oil wash into a dropper bottle for next time! 🫡

[@morewarhammer]

Love this colour scheme. The purple closers to the claws is so nice.

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Cheers 😁

[@SanchoPeas]

Perfect video, got the leviathan box and it has sat on the side. I’ve never army painted before and trying to work up to doing it. May pick a different colour scheme but your methods will definitely inspire it!

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Thanks! Enjoy it 😁

[@nikot.9920]

Perfection, lovely work on that screamer-killer 👌

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Cheers Niko

[@davidteel7701]

I really, really like that effect you did on the claws. Very nicely done.

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Thanks!

[@davidteel7701]

@@ThePaintingCoach I think I'm going to change the red to a nice dark blue or purple and use that on my nids.

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Cool!

[@ThePingouin2ter]

Impressive. It is given me the final push to start using oil paints !

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Enjoy!

[@potatophantom9717]

Well done as always!

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Thanks!

[@WarlockOfWiFi]

Exactly what I was looking for!

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Glad it is helpful!

[@SomeBlueStuff]

Great tutorial, would love to see some other hive fleets too

[@ThePaintingCoach]

I've got some others in my shorts format feed 👍🏻

[@Razyrazer]

love it and i started using oil paints cause of you

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Awesome!

[@RobTheHandsome1]

Hoping you do a video show black armor plates and a red flesh.

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Check my shorts for red flesh - or my khorne demon prince tutorial. For more detailed red flesh check my angron vid. For black plates, try black templar dry brush mechanicus grey and then sharp highlight administratum grey

[@adrianuszwijsen8243]

That looks awesome! Do you do requests lol I want to do a Soulblight Gravelords Zombie dragon, incorporating some purple for the exposed muscle

[@ThePaintingCoach]

I don't I'm afraid - but some thinned volupous pink over pallid wych flesh is a good start

[@Theotherone89]

What are the benefits and drawbacks of this technique/recipe vs your previous tutorial with the parasite of mortrex?

[@ThePaintingCoach]

This is a lot quicker - but probably not as detailed

[@rosasakura4172]

In this video. I Will make you regeret not spending Extra money to g’et the screamer killer. Damn its a sweet model

[@user-je6ty3dw7x]

Will white-spirit dissolve previous paint layer?..

[@ThePaintingCoach]

No it will be fine - if you are worried, you can add a satin or gloss varnish before hand

[@GordonMcLachlan]

Love this! Unrelated question, but have you ever thought of doing some AoS painting guides?

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Cheers Gordon - yes in fact I have a few on the Channel, and will be doing the new Cities of Sigmar box when my copy arrives!

[@GordonMcLachlan]

You've just made me a very happy man!@@ThePaintingCoach

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Are you getting the new box too?

[@GordonMcLachlan]

I am! My first AoS purchase!@@ThePaintingCoach

[@ThePaintingCoach]

Awesome! Hopefully I'll give you some ideas!

[@james-and-his-stuff]

[@ThePaintingCoach]
