That steel with orange rust effects looks stunning! Got to say, I’m really impressed with Artis Opus here in terms of quality of content. I’ve got a set of brushes already and the effort that’s been put in to these tutorials given out for free from a brush manufacturer is way above the rest and makes me want to go out and get more. Whoever’s decision it was to make this channel - well done!! I’m sure you’re subscribers will be hitting peak numbers in no time!
This all still seems like magic to me, would really appreciate a "here's the basics of these techniques" video, going over the dampening pad, texture pallete, when to clean/rinse the brush etc.
I guess im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a way to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot the account password. I would love any tricks you can offer me
@Kaison Dante Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and Im trying it out atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
They were great. That 2nd base the base colour popped immediately. I really lijed that chipping fluid - never seen it used that way This channel/you has so many great ideas. Cant wait for my dungeons and lasers kickstarter 2 comes in. I ordered 2 of your brushes as part of it
If you wanna do this a little cheaper, either hairspray or salt can be used in place of the chipping fluid, which is basically overpriced hairspray anyway, for the hairspray, a couple of light coats to get a satin sheen will be about perfect, with the salt technique, use coarse sea salt, grind it up a bit so you have lots of variation in crystal sizes from a fine powder to bigger chunks, either with a pestle and mortar or the recess in a clean brick and a stone will work too, anything you can grind the salt down slightly with really, varnish the piece, then wet the surface then sprinkle salt over the bit you want to chip, sprinkle the salt on, leave a minute or two, then paint over. use a stiff paintbrush or a soft-ish old tooth brush to remove, and hey presto! works a treat! unfortunately the salt technique only works with an airbrush at low psi, but the hairspray technique works with a normal brush brush, just let the top coat dry and remove with a damp paint brush! (some people will tell you to buy specific expensive branded hairspray but it honestly makes no difference, find that the cheap stuff from the pound shop works fine for me! Just remember, 2 light coats is enough)
Cheers for the input Simon, I like being able to pick where I'm doing it, I guess you could mask, then hairspray, then paint... or would it attach itself to the mask?
You can turn regular basis into this if you have atleast one sector base. By using greenstuff press mold, dry then apply baby poweder and then press in new green stuff cut away unwanted material and glue it to the new regular base.
How Do matey, great tutorial, which I will be putting into practice as soon as me D Brushes arrive, I have now base coated 60 x 30k Imperial fist space marines, 3 Rhino's and 25 terminators and his lordship Dorn, who I think and hope would make a great dry brush tutorial, especially with all that gold armour. Nick at customer support was great and explained the delays, so big thanks to him. Lastly Scale75 has hinted that as an incentive to seeing more of it in tutorials they will be changing one of their paints, HULDRA BLUE will be known as BYRON BLUE !!!!!!. Thanks for all the hard work and keep them Tutorials coming. best regards Anwar.
Haaaa, I wish, my dream is to have a turquoise named after me ^^. Thanks for the kind words and the patience dude... the joys of working in a C19 world :|
Missed you in the chat Byron but looking amazing as always. I always try to go more organic with my bases, outdoors stone, soil and grass, but these to look really good. Thanks for your continued tutorials and hope to catch you in the next one!
Finally bit the bullet and ordered a set of your Series D brushes, perfect timing as I have a load of these bases to work on to finish off my Ultramarines. Do you have any plans to do a Death Guard painting? Be great to see you work with the grime
2:10 is sorcery and you can be expecting a call from the inquisition. bases look awesome! also what happened to your nose? did you get into a fight after someone said rude things about Huldra blue? Also what are your thoughts on Vallejo model colour vs game colour?
Cheers dude! Unfortunately no Huldra Blue based fighting 😅. VMC is much wider and less cartoony but they both really have their strengths. Personally I use VMC mostly backed up by Scale 😊
Hey Aaran... I may have one of those assembled and waiting! I don't think so unless I avoided 2 things: 1 - Weathering - you get amazing results in the time, but the GUO had 45mins just on his sword for example 2 - Freehand/decals/masking - detailing in general adds up, similarly to weathering I think it's worth doing, but it does add time, however efficient you are. It's less of a all similar blob too, unless you did it all 1 colour with minimal other stuff - e.g. flat matt black panels, etc. I'd say 4.5-6 hours probably
@@ArtisOpus your tutorials help the community so much. I'm sure there are many other painters like myself who have a back log of miniatures and want to get good results in the quickest time most people. Most Imperial armies I see are some variation of black. Having separate videos would mean the techniques could be used by the community on other miniatures. Whichever tutorial you do I look forward to it along with many others. Thank you.
Quality as always Byron. Feel like you do some magic with washes so I've started making my own over the last month or so instead of just using Nuln Oil or Agrax Earthshade and I've gotta say I really rate it more than ready mixed washes. My necrons have been having washes of Huldra blue mixed with Vallejo black where I would have used Nuln Oil before and the results are way better and the hint of blue adds so much interest on the copper sections its like free weathering as well as contrast. For my Blood Angels, I copied the wash from your tutorial from over the summer and that's worked a treat too. Just need to try some on my Dark Angels now. Any suggestions for a nice Deathwing scheme using Series D and washes?
Hey Patrick, amazing to hear dude, just leaving the beaten track a little can often result in some amazing discoveries! Mhhmmm, it needs some real proper thought, I can't pop that one off the top of my head, it will have proper consideration though, and become a tutorial (soon, hopefully!)
I really love the look of your series d dry bruushes.and I don’t mind paying for a premium product.my question would be the way we all see you using the brushes how long do they last you before you decide to use a new one? Thanks and keep up the great content.
Great question dude - I tend to get ''an army'' out of each brush. Once they get to this stage, they are demoted to basecoats and stippling as they don't loose shape, they just get shorter. You'll notice me using the same brushes in tutorials now from when I started the channel 😊
Heya!!! This video is awesome!!! Ive been trying to find some inspiration for my bases for my kill team squad (using the gw necromunda bases with a bunch of bits and mechanical junk as just basing details) and this has been perfect!! Out of curiosity cause ive never seen it before, what does the chipping liquid do? And is this how its normally used? Also is there an alternative to the fluid i could use or do i have to try to get ahold of it? OH ALSO I REALISED I RECOGNISED YOUR CHANNEL NAME CAUSE MY LOCAL GAMING STORE (ACME GAMES) HAS A BUNCH OF YOUR BRUSHES FOR SALE!!!!!
The second base coat went on like you was brushing on a computer program. So perfectly smooth. Incredible.
Magic, right?! Even surprised me, some colours are just made to make your life easier!

That muted blue and orange look great.
Thanks dude! 😊It's a surprisingly good combo 🤩

Hey dude, it will come soon! We're just waiting for some R&D to be finished. Thanks so much for the suggestion 😊

Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Kaison Dante It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much, you really help me out !
You did well with the bronze details!
Thanks, buddy, glad you liked it😁
My brushes came this morning ,can’t wait to try them out 🥳🥳
Yeey 🥳 Hope they serve you well Vicky! And don't forget to update us with the beautiful painting you achieve 😊
Nice looking bases. Necrons will look great on these
Absolutely dude! Need to give it a try. Thanks so much for your support 🤩
My Series D brushes and pallet shipped a few days ago!! Can’t wait to use this tutorial for my GSC army!!
Amazing Gary, thank you for the support and I hope they serve you well! Don't forget to share your progress 🤩
Proper cool video!
Thanks so much dude! 😊
Mmmmm, that intro music is great!
Thanks so much! It's from Bensounds if you'd like to hear more 😊

This channel/you has so many great ideas. Cant wait for my dungeons and lasers kickstarter 2 comes in. I ordered 2 of your brushes as part of it
Perfect dude! They received the brushes a while back, so they may well be in the post for you right now 😊
@@ArtisOpus have to wait till next year when new stuff is ready
We are sure it'll be worth the wait! We really enjoyed painting them 😁

@@ArtisOpus don't think so mate, masking against hairspray should be no different to masking against paint
I'll have to give it a go sometime :)
Amazing results as always dude! Thanks for all the videos, keep up the great work and stay safe 😁
Thanks so much! Keep watching and we'll keep painting 😊
Awesome effect, Thanks!
Glad you like it! Thanks Chuck
Such a great job my friend I never miss a video from you unless I’m at work....damn you work lol
Much appreciated Jirhon 🤩🤗
You can turn regular basis into this if you have atleast one sector base. By using greenstuff press mold, dry then apply baby poweder and then press in new green stuff cut away unwanted material and glue it to the new regular base.
Absolutely dude, I like the crisp edges and the reliability from the plastic though 😊
I’ll remember that the future is always supposed to look cool!
😊Absolutely, especially when it's full with toy soldiers.

@@ArtisOpus Just glad you are okay. When you weren't in chat zi admit I was a little worried
All good dude, I am just bad at setting alarms correctly 😫😅
Hey man great video
Glad to hear 😊 Thanks so much dude!
love this ! need my brushes :)
Thanks buddy! Did you place an order already? :) Series D are magic for this type of work!
@@ArtisOpus I did a while ago :) but i'm in Belgium ... maybe that is why it takes longer :)
just send an email to the support :)
How do matey. This one will be great as I'm mounting my Imperial Fists (30K) on those types of bases. Keep them coming Byron
Amazing dude, glad I helped 😊

100% Luke. They are very obviously missing from out catalogue, we'll get to them soon 😊

Does anyone know where to get these bases?
Comment and like to appease the almighty algorithm
Appreciated dude
Is it just me or is that picture at the back crooked
Could well be... more likely to be my sloppy camera skills 😅
Slow down dammit I'm running out of bases to try your stiff on
I can't recommend picking up these bases enough when you run out. They're incredible for drybrushing 😊
ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!! HA HA HA HA.
😊ALWAYS!
