Highly doubt that will happen, I hate painting large models for one, and there's really not much to add that's not shown here. There are a lot of factions left to tackle before I think of doing repeats
Congratulations on this video, I think it's your best edit to date. The transitions, zoom and shorter segments make for a better watching experience IMO.
Beautiful. You are truly a master of the medium. I recall seeing the "here's what great miniature artists can do with contrast paints!" during the release event - you're doing this and, more importantly, sharing your process. Bravo!
Amazing mate. I'vs wanted to do Sylvaneth for a while now and this video is perfect timing. Thank you for your work sir, the outcomes are stunning in your work.
Thanks! That really means a lot to me. I always try to improve the quality of my videos and thanks to my Patreons I finally managed to buy the lens I needed to do 4K well and that really made a difference
This is really great I tried painting this set with regular acrylics and found it incredibly frustrating due to the number of textures and impossible to reach bits. Might have to revisit them with contrast paints at some point.
Hello Juan. For few weeks i found your page and i want to say Thanks for this nice tutorials. I have just one question.... In germany we have big problems to get the Wraitbone Sprey ( Thanks Braxit) and we have to wait months...... Can i Prime my Miniatures with white and Airbrush it with Wraitbone Contrast, for the same result? Or can i buy Vallejp Hobby Paint 28.013 Prime Sprey? Online looks very similar. Did you have experiance? I just want paint... i still waiting for to long time.... :(
Hi, great videos, you’re certainly getting me exploring contrast paints more. Do you think there is anything you would change in this scheme after trying the new colours coming out?
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures thanks Juan, don’t get me wrong it’s a great video and I love the final results just wondering what you thought about Garaghaks Sewer for a lighter wood or Briar Queen Chill or Poxwalker for a more blueish skin tone………ah, just realised the flaw in that 😁 Btw, would love to see you do a Shadowkeeper Adeptus Custodes
Hi Juan, I really love your eavy contrast series and this video has inspired me to start a sylvaneth army With some of the larger models how would you suggest doing the lighter wood that is shown under some of the bark? Also, how would you do the beetles and wings on the gossamid archers? Thank you so much for the amazing videos
Muy bueno el vídeo!!! Parece que me has leído la mente estaba buscando en tu canal haber si habías pintado algún silvaneth estos días y vas y haces uno😂😂
Nos agrada que haya disfrutado del nuevo servicio de Tutoriales Prescientes Juan Hidalgo. Podemos garantizar buenos resultados, porque ya los hemos visto! Juan Hidalgo, siempre un paso por delante.
Buenas Sr Hidalgo, en primer lugar ya sabes que me encantan tus videos y que haces maravillas con las contrast tio xD. En segundo lugar, estoy mirando para cambiar mis pinceles y he ido a tu enlace y me han surgido dudas. ¿que usas exactamente? ¿largos o cortos? entiendo que minimo tendras un 2, un 1 y un 0 pa detalles no?. Un saludo tio, y a seguir con el curre que me flipa como pintas.
I noticed you removed the horns from the head. I would also like to do the same. Was it difficult? I can't tell that there was ever supposed to be horns when looking at your finished mini.
It's the least I can do, if someone takes part of their time (which I consider the most valuable resource we have), to post a comment in my videos, the least I can do is reply and try to be helpful. Maybe I just do things differently 😂
Had to check the playback speed on my browser to make sure it wasn't sped up! It wasn't! Beautiful mini as always! What size brushes would you recommend from your affiliate link? Would be great to see your take on one of the night haunt models.
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Thanks, I thought so but I was scared of ordering what seems like such a huge size! I'll get on it now, how can I make sure you get the kickback? Just follow the link?
Yeah just click on that link. As far as size goes Rosemary's are a bit smaller than something like a Raphael 8404. I would recommend you order a size 2 or 1 just in case you find the 3 a bit bigger to begin with but once you get used to it there's no going back to smaller brushes
Get a pair of magnifying glasses, I use a cheap pair from Amazon and I'm very happy. There's so much your eyes can do and there's no reason to stress them more than necessary, there are no replacement parts available so you better take care of the ones that came as standard from the factory. Also please remember that the bigger sizes work for me but they might not be the best tool for you, in the end you have to use the tools that work for you very particular case
GW just started selling this model again, and after buying it and putting him together, I was surprised to see that he has huge horns on his head. I’d be curious as to what happened to your model’s horns? Love this video btw.
Love the video, but the spinning transitions are really jarring. Especially when we’re focused on what your doing with your brush and then the whole screen starts spinning for the transitions.
Awesome, more AoS videos. Love the 'Eavy Contrast series - would you even consider doing a Stormcast Eternals version of the space marines series? I.e. doing one from each of the major Stormhosts, etc? Regardless, another excellent video tutorial!
Black Templar, Gryph-charger Grey Iyanden Yellow Guilliman Flesh Fyreslayer Flesh Skeleton Horde Wyldwood Gryph-Hound Orange Flesh Tearers Red And Medium of course
Honestly such an inspiration, I feel like with the contrast+ technique I could get much better looking miniatures than my painting skills would normally allow! Question if you could help me, I'm painting seraphon with purple scales and been using a 1:3 mix of shyish purple and contrast medium as a wash over the scales and it's made them extremely glossy, is this usual with contrast medium?
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Thank you for your reply, and amazing work on the minis. Sorry, i should have been more specific. What is contrast? Is it something you have to buy separate from the paint?
Contrast Paints are a range of paints from Citadel (Games Workshop) they are a very specific type of paints that work by creating basecoats and shadows on a single coat. They are essentially strong and fluid transparent paints that need to be applied over a light primer
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures that answer was extremely helpful. Thank you very much for helping an uninformed old guy who has been away from minis for way too long. Looking forward to using some of these techniques
I dont do Drybrush, I don't like it myself. And this looks much better to me, but most importantly this is about replicating the Eavy Metal Team paintjob, and they don't use Drybrush. That being said, nothing wrong with it, it's a great technique and if you want to speed your painting then it's a great resource.
There's no such thing as cheating. There are just different tools and techniques that you can use to make your painting easier and more fun. Same way that an airbrush isn't cheating or washes aren't. I still remember when we had to mix our own washes from inks, now I just have to open a bottle, it's just progress. The more tools we have the better for all of us.

Thanks mate, much appreciated 😘
So happy to see you do a Sylvaneth episode. Would love to see you do more with the Sylvaneth, like a treelord or Kurnoth Hunter.
Highly doubt that will happen, I hate painting large models for one, and there's really not much to add that's not shown here.
There are a lot of factions left to tackle before I think of doing repeats
Wow that sword, in the first two coats was amazing! That would have been good enough for me. My confidence is boosted.
Thanks mate 😘
When ever I start a new project I always hope you have a video on what I’m painting, lucky for me you came up first in the search again 😎🙌❤️
I've been looking forward to a Sylvaneth video in this series! I think this this is your most impressive contrast model so far, it's stunning.
Thanks, I agree 😊
Certainly one of your best works. Wonderful masterpiece.
Gracias guapo 😘
Congratulations on this video, I think it's your best edit to date. The transitions, zoom and shorter segments make for a better watching experience IMO.
Thanks, I always try to make my videos better with each one I make.
Starting to record in 4K was a very important step I had to make
Beautiful. You are truly a master of the medium. I recall seeing the "here's what great miniature artists can do with contrast paints!" during the release event - you're doing this and, more importantly, sharing your process. Bravo!
Thanks mate 😘
This is seriously impressive.
Thanks mate 😘
Contrast paints were made for figures like this! Superb work through focused applications of the right color at the right time, obviously!
Thanks mate 😘
Hey Juan, I tried out a wet palette like you suggested and it absolutely solved my problem. Like you said, total game changer. Thanks again!
Happy to help, a wet palette should be a staple in every painters toolkit.
Amazing mate. I'vs wanted to do Sylvaneth for a while now and this video is perfect timing. Thank you for your work sir, the outcomes are stunning in your work.
Thanks mate 😘. Good luck with your tree bois
Lots of fantastic gradients in this one.
Thanks mate 😘
Dude, this video gave me wood! I love your work with contrast paints and its always inspires me!
Thanks mate 😘, enjoy your wood
Amazing tutorial. I am going to have to go out and get some contrast paints to try.
Awesome!
Great vidoe as always. I am in love with your paintings, maestro!
Gracias guapo 😘
I really love that filming skill of yours and the paint job as always ,nice camera job !! Another outstanding 'Eavy Contrast !
Thanks! That really means a lot to me. I always try to improve the quality of my videos and thanks to my Patreons I finally managed to buy the lens I needed to do 4K well and that really made a difference
Amazing tutorial! Also it is really relaxing to watch these tutorials. GW send this man box of contrast medium :D
Thanks mate 😘
Buen tutorial como siempre. Muy bien explicado, me ha gustado especialmente el resultado de la espada.
Gracias! Esa parte fue muy divertida
Very nice gradients. Great tutorial.
Gracias guapo 😘
Brutal! Me encanta como te ha quedado 💪😁
Gracias guapo 😘
Thank you , Juan .
Thank you for watching mate 😘
This is really great I tried painting this set with regular acrylics and found it incredibly frustrating due to the number of textures and impossible to reach bits. Might have to revisit them with contrast paints at some point.
Do it, it's great fun
Awesome tutorial Juan!!
And I've painted some with the Rosemary brushes! They are amazing! Oh and I'm using a wet pallete now too.
NICE!! Isn't the wet palette something you would never paint without? It's a game changer
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures oh absolutely! I’ll never go back again.
Perfect as always👏
Thanks
Hello Juan.
For few weeks i found your page and i want to say Thanks for this nice tutorials.
I have just one question....
In germany we have big problems to get the Wraitbone Sprey ( Thanks Braxit) and we have to wait months......
Can i Prime my Miniatures with white and Airbrush it with Wraitbone Contrast, for the same result?
Or can i buy Vallejp Hobby Paint 28.013 Prime Sprey? Online looks very similar. Did you have experiance?
I just want paint... i still waiting for to long time.... :(
You can use the regular Wraithbone paint over the airbrush for sure but prime the models first with another colour.
Fantastic work!
Thanks
What type of floc did you use on the base? Looks amazing and mossy
Gamers Grass Tiny Tufts
Your contrast paints always seem to behave so much better than mine! How do you discipline them?!
Always a pleasure to watch you at work
Thanks mate 😘
I really don't know what I do except for using a large brush and move the pigments whereby want them
Hi, are you using a wet pallet for your contrast paint? Great video by the way!
I use a wet palette for everything
Me han molado esas transiciones de cámara!!
Gracias guapo! Vamos mejorando poco a poco
Hi, great videos, you’re certainly getting me exploring contrast paints more. Do you think there is anything you would change in this scheme after trying the new colours coming out?
Not really no, maybe the green on the leaves but that's it, I stand by this video in particular, I think it's as good as I can make it.
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures thanks Juan, don’t get me wrong it’s a great video and I love the final results just wondering what you thought about Garaghaks Sewer for a lighter wood or Briar Queen Chill or Poxwalker for a more blueish skin tone………ah, just realised the flaw in that 😁
Btw, would love to see you do a Shadowkeeper Adeptus Custodes
Hi Juan,
I really love your eavy contrast series and this video has inspired me to start a sylvaneth army
With some of the larger models how would you suggest doing the lighter wood that is shown under some of the bark?
Also, how would you do the beetles and wings on the gossamid archers?
Thank you so much for the amazing videos
For the lighter wood, I think Skeleton Horde will look cool, as for the bugs, why not purple? The new Leviathan Purple os amazing
Thaks for replying so fast, purple sounds ds awesome for the bugs. Now fora trip to my local for some paints
Happy to help 😘

Sylvaneth are really not my favorites...but now because of you, I have to buy some! lol! Thx for the (always) excellent video
Thank you for watching 😘
Love the pose of this model. Is this a conversion?
No, it's from them Underworlds warband
Fantastic video I love your work sir, how do you get your undercoat so crisp?
I use Citadel rattle cans, don't do anything special really, just warm the can and shake as per usual
Buenas Sr Hidalgo, en primer lugar ya sabes que me encantan tus videos y que haces maravillas con las contrast tio xD. En segundo lugar, estoy mirando para cambiar mis pinceles y he ido a tu enlace y me han surgido dudas. ¿que usas exactamente? ¿largos o cortos? entiendo que minimo tendras un 2, un 1 y un 0 pa detalles no?.
Un saludo tio, y a seguir con el curre que me flipa como pintas.
Largo o corto se refiere al mango, los largos se usan para pintar en lienzo.
Yo uso el 3 y 4, ya está. Ni me molesto con pinceles más pequeños.
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures muchas gracias maquina, eres un crack!
😘
Fantasy is back in the menu
YEAH, It never went away
I noticed you removed the horns from the head. I would also like to do the same. Was it difficult? I can't tell that there was ever supposed to be horns when looking at your finished mini.
It wasn't the most difficult thing but it does require some careful filing and smoothing with sandpaper
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Thank you for the answer! Your tutorial excellent, btw. It inspired me to start a Sylvaneth army :)
Loving this. Just subscribed
Thanks 😘😘
Fantastic tutorial. I’d love you to do the new lumineth nations. It doesn’t seem that there’s any guides in the new battletome or coming on WHTV 😟
I might do some more Lumineth at some point for not for now. Plenty of other factions to do before I start with repeats
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures I love the fact you take the time to always reply, even if it’s not what I want to hear 😂
It's the least I can do, if someone takes part of their time (which I consider the most valuable resource we have), to post a comment in my videos, the least I can do is reply and try to be helpful.
Maybe I just do things differently 😂
Great stuff as usual! 🍻 Nice transition too, though a little too much spinning haha
Thanks, it was just a test, I'm going to dicth the spinning versions all together
Had to check the playback speed on my browser to make sure it wasn't sped up! It wasn't! Beautiful mini as always! What size brushes would you recommend from your affiliate link? Would be great to see your take on one of the night haunt models.
I use the size 3 and 4 exclusively. The size 3 is what you see me use in all my videos
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Thanks, I thought so but I was scared of ordering what seems like such a huge size! I'll get on it now, how can I make sure you get the kickback? Just follow the link?

Cut them off, that's what happened.
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures LOL thanks. I’ll assume you preferred him without. 👍
Obviously, otherwise cutting them wouldn't have been ideal
Love the video, but the spinning transitions are really jarring. Especially when we’re focused on what your doing with your brush and then the whole screen starts spinning for the transitions.
Yeah, sorry. I was testing more advanced transitions but I will skip those all together. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thank for the feedback
Awesome, more AoS videos. Love the 'Eavy Contrast series - would you even consider doing a Stormcast Eternals version of the space marines series? I.e. doing one from each of the major Stormhosts, etc?
Regardless, another excellent video tutorial!
Thanks mate
As for doing the Stormhosts, no, that is not planned, sorry
What brush size are you using here?
Rosemary and Co Series 33 size 3
Hey Juan, if you could only chose 10 contrast paints, which ones would you get?
Black Templar,
Gryph-charger Grey
Iyanden Yellow
Guilliman Flesh
Fyreslayer Flesh
Skeleton Horde
Wyldwood
Gryph-Hound Orange
Flesh Tearers Red
And Medium of course
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Uhhh so no green or blue at all! I see
Not for me, those are the ones I use the most BY FAR

Question if you could help me, I'm painting seraphon with purple scales and been using a 1:3 mix of shyish purple and contrast medium as a wash over the scales and it's made them extremely glossy, is this usual with contrast medium?
Have you shaken both the Medium AND shade very well?
If not shaken properly, the matting agent will settle to the bottom resulting in a glossy result
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures I didn't shake the medium! Thank you so much knew your knowledge would get to the bottom of it quickly 😂 love your content
Thanks for watching mate 😘
What size is your rosemary brush?
3
Can I ask what size brushes you use?

Size 3 and 4
Newbie here. What is contrast medium?
It's a product that is essentially Contrast Paints without pigment
I Love it can u did more sylvaneth my Favorit chery blossom same Skin tyrkis glow an pink withe
I might do more in the future but nothing promised
Acojonante, mis cienes 🤣
Grasias, Bendisiones
Sorry, i am a pretty big noob, but what does it mean "mix with contrast"? what am i supposed to be mixing the pain with?
Probably that you need to thin it down with Contrast Medium
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Thank you for your reply, and amazing work on the minis. Sorry, i should have been more specific. What is contrast? Is it something you have to buy separate from the paint?

I love your videos so much. If I can make a small request, however, the spin transition is very dizzying.
Yes, it was a test and I'm going to cut it off completely.
I was testing a lot of different, more advanced transitions in this video.
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures I noticed that! I liked the orange paint splash, personally. But thank you profusely for not doing the spins anymore, lol.
Thank you for your feedback, that's how I grow and get better
"One of the most fun minis I have ever painted for the 'Eavy Contrast series"
And still no new Sylvaneth models after 3+ year! *Crying emoji*
Lol, very true
how to paint white ropes - start with purple .... wait , what ? you always surprise me !
Lol, that's what I like to do! Spice it up a bit

What's the deal with all that blue???? ;)

👌😁💚
Thanks mate 😘
Why just not drybrush the bark ?
Good drybrush is not bad ;)
I dont do Drybrush, I don't like it myself. And this looks much better to me, but most importantly this is about replicating the Eavy Metal Team paintjob, and they don't use Drybrush.
That being said, nothing wrong with it, it's a great technique and if you want to speed your painting then it's a great resource.
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Thx Juan ! Love your Revenant !
Thanks

You need new shirts brother. I can't wear something that says I hate blue. Lol
Or the word hate. Lol
Actually working on them 😂 I'm just lazy.
It took me a while to realise they can be an issue in the US
Great tutorial. But is it just me, or are these paints cheating?
There's no such thing as cheating. There are just different tools and techniques that you can use to make your painting easier and more fun.
Same way that an airbrush isn't cheating or washes aren't. I still remember when we had to mix our own washes from inks, now I just have to open a bottle, it's just progress. The more tools we have the better for all of us.
