🎸Question of the day! 🎸 - What would you use the Gemstone Red & Glittering Green Paint on?
Also what's your favourite colour? - I know thats two questions, but i'm a rebel!
I use Gemstone as armour for my Bezerkers. Looks really cool!
Gemstone red works well for candy red applications. For example Horus Heresy Thousand Sons have a metallic red colour scheme. ANd glittering green could work for salamnders If you want their armour to be metallic. But could also work for a green dragon with shiny scales.
Thank you for using the same mini!! It sucks when creators use all different minis. I can’t tell the difference as good as I can with the same!
Glad to hear that, im the same - i find it such better to look at something when it's on the same thing.
These little goblins have had fun being my test subjects :)
Gemstone Red will probably be the armor color for my Thousand Sons.
ooh yes thats a good one! They would suit that perfectly! :):)
The silvers look pretty good, may pick them up to try them out on some Middle Earth minis
Yeh the Cobalt metal is a nice addition to the other silvers, i'm really looking forward to using that on some minis! :)
Ordered the metallics set of Fanatics and they came yesterday. Looking forward to using them.
ah fantastic, they are cool - I really like how the range has expanded, but i didn't mention it in the video but - i like the way the bottle feels! haha
The metallic paints have a slight embossed label at the front.
It's the little things i notice haha :):)
You'll have to let me know which is your favourite, and if you come up with a good combination for them!
witam , duzo zalezy od farbek ale jeszcze wiecej od malujacego,zeby pmalowac w inny sposob jak zawsze na pewno sie przydadza te kolory metaliczne ,dzieki za filmik👍👌
Absolutely, the nice thing with this hobby is there are a variety of styles that people can paint on their miniatures and to have a nice variety of paints just makes the whole creative process even better :):)
What a great showcase! Thank you so much, truly perfectly executed!
Glad you enjoyed it! :) I thought i'd just go through them all individually and that may help people get an idea of what they are like.
Any favourite colours?
@@SwordsandBrushes I think I'll use the true brass for my stormcasts, really like the subtle colour of it
Amazing! I love that you are demonstrating these colours! It is so nice to see them in use when trying to decide which to buy.
Only problem is, there is a lot of really nice ones, so it is really hard to choose 😅
I need one accent metal colour for my new necron army in addition to a dark silver but cannot decide between True Brass/Evil Chrome/Tainted Gold/Rough Iron, they all look great. And I have to find a place for death metal in a project somewhere because that colour is awesome!
Thanks very much, for me i just like seeing the colours in front of me rather than on a website that uses a swatch colour or just the bottle.
Ah yes i know you, i'll message you back on Facebook properly about the necrons as i have some ideas and it will be good to have a discussion :)
I painted up some test colours a while back and made a video series on the Swords and Brushes Sci-Fi channel - but they were before the Fanatic line came out! Grr lol
@@SwordsandBrushes awesome! I just checked your sci fi channel, will definately check out the necrons videos.
The video is a few days old, but I'm commenting anyway - I have now finished at least 20 models with the fanatic metallics and wanted to share my insights: you NEED at least 3 coats for maximum shine. Maybe even more. I used Mithril for my stormcasts and they really start to shine (ha) after 3 or 4 coats.
Daaaamn! The "Evil Chrome" looks amazing! I'm gonna use that on a new Stormcast Eternal army.
I've been looking for a good bronze/copper paint and this absolutely nails it.
Appreciate the video.
Dark emerald would be sick for my 'totally not evil' sisters of battle.
Thanks for painting a mini rather than a base!
No worries! Thats exactly what my wonderful test Goblins were for :):)
Rough Iron is really nice for primitive, robust armors but I have no idea what other metallic can be used to highlight it. 😂
Gemstone red could be a solid option for red Skaven Verminous armor.
So nice and interesting video! Thank you for sharing
Thank you very much! Glad to make these videos :)
Gemstone dragons for the gem paints
The real question is if I should buy Vallejo or AP metallics 😉
Great video 👍🏻 would love to see you check out the game of thrones miniatures and maybe some paint tutorials on those. Ordered my core pack today, can't wait to get to painting!
Great suggestion! I do really like the miniatures from the range, they have some awesome sculpts. Maybe one day i will get some! For now i have a whole load of Middle Earth to get through! :):)
Спасибо большое за обзор❤. Быстрее бы следующий. Купил из новой линейки только 2цвета. А пользуюсь базовыми и металликами из speed paint 😊
Happy to do the video and happy to see that you enjoyed it :) Oh yes how are you finding the Speed Paint range so far?
@@SwordsandBrushes Скажу так, Speed Paint версии 1.0 был лучше, но металлик SP 2.0 шикарен. Я тут заказал эффекты и часть проливок новых, но не знаю STRONG SKIN SHADE and DARK SKIN SHADE куда их можно приметить)))
@@foxdream1158 100% i prefer Speedpaint 1.0, i loved the way you could easily blend the colours.
Strong Skin Shade and Dark Skin Shade are amazing on metallics! Strong Skin shade is my new favourite when working with copper colours :)
@@SwordsandBrushes Oooh, I didn't even think that you can use these colors on metal) then I will order these 2 spills will not be superfluous)))
@@SwordsandBrushes Привет, привет)))))Вот и пришли мне поливки Dark Skin и Strong Skin shade, значи ты их используешь для металла как еще можно их использовать с большей эффективность ? А еще пришли Death and Cobalt metallic ))))) по-видимому все больше уже покупать из Warpaints fanatic в своем регионе я не смогу))))
gemstone order of the bloody rose
Oh that would be quite an interesting one for their armour! - Good shout! :)
Soulblight gravelords blood knights the red metallic
That would be awesome!
Found them really hard to work with - compared to something like Scale 75 metallics, they’re pretty terrible!
ah no any colour in particular?
I have some Scale75 skin paints, i was curious about them so got a set - i really like them! The matt finish they give is quite different to GW & Army painter. It's nice to have some choice :)
@@SwordsandBrushes Most of the starter set actually! They take 3 layers to apply an opaque coat - which in itself can be great if they glaze well or at least thin well with a glaze medium, but they split like nobodies business!
The colours are really good don’t get me wrong though.
Those poor gobbos. You fiend.
haha they have served their purpose as test subjects - they have retired now and live in a land where there are mushrooms galore and Squig space hopper racing - they are very happy :):)
The metalics are ment to be used over a while primer, not black.
My ideal primer would be the one most suited to the miniature i'm painting, so for example if i'm doing lots of metal armour - i would more than likely either spray it gun metal or black (depending what else is on the mini, like clothing etc)
Browns and creams are great for gold colours and greys are lovely for Silver metallics :)
I decided to do them on black for this video as it's more than likely what beginner hobbyists start with when they buy some toys and a black primer from the shop. Plus it's nice to see how these paints can tackle a black undercoat :):)
@@SwordsandBrushes Yea, I normaly prime in black too, however it was stated by one of the main developers of the Fanatic line that the metalics were developed using a white primer in mind. Priming in black makes them darker then intended.
Their fanatic silver is not good guys.
Which one doesn't tickle your fancy? And also are their any specific brands colours that you may suggest? :)
@@SwordsandBrushes Vallejo Metalics are the best, the most expensive but are mostly used with airbrush.
@@SwordsandBrushes I have a huge collection of metallics. The AP Fanatics are not yet on it, but I'm planning to get them.
My top trio would be:
1st: Vallejo Metal Colours. Sadly the colour range is very limited for gold/bronze/brass/copper and absolutely no coloured metallics like red, blue and green
2nd: AK 3rd gen. Great aspect and a great range of colours. Sadly they botched the copper.
3rd: Scale75 Metals & Alchemy. Good aspect and a great range of colours. Best range of golds ever
At a honorable 4th place are coming the new Vallejo Model and Game Colours. So much better than their old formulations, but quite restricted colour range.
And in the To be avoided: Reaper Master Series. Great colour range but looks more glittery than metallic
True Brass is such a wonderful color for edge highlighting gold. Very happy to have it. I paint a lot of "white metal" models for other games and highlighting gold with silver just looks like the paint has chipped. True brass saves the day! Also The red gemstone color works great for "candy apple" red cars, or painting iron man for MCP or other candy apple red power armor.
