Why not follow it up with a Dark Angels Ravenwing model, eg. an biker or land speeder, and a Deathwing model, eg a terminator or bladeguard veteran model?
Would love to see a video on Star Wars rebel AT-RT and troopers on tatooine pretty much any rebels if possible and some marvel crisis protocol terrain if you have any
Could you use dark angels green contrast paint rather than mixing base with medium?
I can't do a good edge highlight, but I can control correctly the dry brushes.... I just discovered your channel and this exactly what I needed!!! Thank you sir!
Yes! Glad to be of help, Florian, happy painting!
I am so overly happy I founds this video, I think this is the Aesthetic I want for my Dark Angels it looks so good!
Simply fantastic work! I cannot how good the figure looks simply dry brushing. Thanks for making and sharing this tutorial.
Missed this one, thanks, buddy!
Haven't painted with a drybrush focus in 20 years but these videos have my attention - can't wait for my series D to show up to give this method a try.
Awesome to hear dude! Thanks so much and I hope the brushes serve you well :)
Love this. Will definitely be using it for my DA’s
Awesome! Have fun🤩
Just what I needed for painting my Striking Scorpions! Thanks!
Our pleasure, good luck!
Stunning paint job, really makes that green jump out and such a lovely sheen! I think painting a whole army of them this way would drive me nuts but for the main characters, beautiful!
Thanks so much for your support, John😊
Lovely technique and explanations!
I like how high you went with the dust effect getting caught in the knee pad crevices.
Thanks man
The best looking dry brushed dark angel I’ve seen, can’t wait to try this out on my new army 🦁⚔️
🤩🤩Nice one, thank you! Hope it works out well for you, let us know :)
Amazing tutorial as per usual. I just tried it and got an incredible result in just 45 minutes. Thank you!
Amazing dude! Feel free to share it with us, so pleased for you :)
Awesome painting tutorial!!
Great video as always ! I would love to see a metallic power armour tutorial for things like red or blue etc.
Fantastic suggestion with an interesting twist! I'm gonna have a think about this, it's a brilliant idea 😊 Thank you so much buddy!
Awesome work as usual!
Thanks again!
It looks absolutely stunning.
Cheers, dude!
That green is great. Neat shadowy kind of effect.
Agreed, we really liked how the colour turned out too! Thank you so much! 😊
Great technique and outcome, cheers 👍
Cheers, dude!
First army i ever worked on. wish i had this tutorial back then. excellent video.
Thanks so much Kim!
Really good and simple enough for beginners and intermediates as long as you have similar paints and dry brushes for the scheme 👍
wow man i wish i could paint like this currently im working on 20 imperial guard infantry im about halfway done and they will be the first ever squad of guys i have finished! i have dabbled before but never relaly done a good job!
Just stick with it, Jake, you'd be surprised how fast you can improve if that's your goal!
Top tips from me - just do the basics well, that doesn't mean take forever, but it does mean take care, especially when you've repeated it a few times (like on 20 dudes!) you'll be surprised just how solid covering the basics looks, everything else is just icing on the cake :)
Thanks for your support, let us know in another vid if you've got any questions, YT isn't great for ongoing conversation notifications.
Awesome work.
Thank you so much 😀
Just a brilliant video with great advice.
Thanks so much, James🤩
Wanted to give a update. Bought the Drybrush and basic brush set back at the start of quarantine, and honestly? Some of the best stuff I've ever used to paint models. They take a teeny bit of care, but they're worth every cent I paid.
Oh dude, that's amazing, thanks so much for your support!
Great video as always Byron. Great use of contrast paint over a highlighted base coat. Love the face, really quick and effective technique. My top tip for decals on a curve is gloss varnish first then micro set and sol to soften. Leave it a while and the decal will melt into the surface. GW decals are nice and thin, so they conform really well. Keep up the great content
Hey Simon, apologies for the delay, dude! This is a great tip, I'm genuinely very inexperienced with them, so I'll lap up anything that'll help me out :)
Mate, your videos are inspiring. I love all the great tips you're sharing. You should get to 100k subs easily with all the quality content you're producing.
Oh wow, what incredibly kind words, thanks so much! If we can hit 30k by Christmas I'll be stoked, 100k would be a dream!
One of the main aims of the channel was to help more people enjoy painting, and learn that they don't need to worry about it, and that they can achieve desired results far more easily than they thought, if we hit 100k it'd be amazing to have so many people informed of our new release video drops, fingers crossed.
Thanks again dude!
Really like your videos. Learned so much so far and bought series D! Would love to see your techniques on horses and feathers/wings (e.g. Pegasus).
Thanks so much, Friesian! I'll be doing feathers at some point for sure but I committed to doing each of the Greater Daemons. I can't remember the last time I've painted a horse, so I'll need to refresh my memory😊
Artis Opus is basically a cheat code for miniature painting.
Haa, thanks so much did, I think this is one of the nicest comments we've received, that's exactly what we're going for! :)
Have to agree I only just stumbled upon the videos and put in a latte order never spent this much on brushes and accessories before so hoping I can pull it off
Loved the gold and never thought about using cassandora yellow afterwards
^_^ Thank you so much!
I love your guides!
Thanks, dude! Glad you're liking them😊
looks awesome
Glad you like it, thank you! 😊
Awesome work! Using some Micro Set and Micro Sol should help with decals on rounded surfaces.
Cheers dude! I did, but I am not hugely experienced... any tips? 😊
Thanks, great job 😃
Thank you too!😊
Lovely green and super easy. Would love to see silver marines that is not just spray leadbelcher.
Thanks so much dude! I am very into metallics at the moment, this will definitely happen soon :)
you might have my favorite paint style on youtube. would love to see some bone armor in the future if you haven't done it yet
100% on the list, perhaps for Deathwing or Deathguard! Thank you so much
I'll give this colour scheme a go for some of my Dark Angels Kill Team squad. I was looking at trying a different scheme to paint them with. Also, I should paint their heads seperately to give them more details. I normally do it to the WH 40k vehicles, I rarely do it on infantys. Thank you!
You're most welcome! It definitely makes things easier, dude. Especially if you always paint one eye better than the other like me😅😅
I would love to see some Tau! Maybe a crisis suit, or a recon drone? Thanks for all the great tutorials!
Thanks so much David. The Tau - I'm gonna make a comback as soon as we've done some Eldar 😊
Oh hell yeah! Looking forward to watching this to see how to nicely paint my favourite totally-not-traitor boys
Did the inspiration work? ^_^
Really like this one, great to finally get the Dark Angels done on the channel! I think I would personally use Ork Flesh contrast over the actual Dark Angels green one just because I've found that this paint behaves better for me - My DA green contrast always comes out more patchy than the other contrasts, I'm not sure why but I have found that the way the paint behaves varies massively across the contrast range. I like the trick with Cassandora Yellow on the gold, I'm definitely going to be using that from now on!
Hey dude, apologies for the delay! The contrasts really do have far more varied properties than I'd originally thought, I've been on the lookout for it more and more since the Aethermatic blue Gloss incident ^^.
If you like the Cassandora trick you should enjoy the next one! :)
Excellent vid again Byron. Amazing. From the Live Chat, Christmas Marines now must become a thing!!
Thanks so much dude! Can I put glitter on them? 😊
@@ArtisOpus Without a doubt...and baubles.....
Any chance you could do a deathwing model? Love to see how you would go about doing the bone colour power armour. Still waiting for my series D brushes to arrive, then I'll be giving this a go.
Absolutely, dude! Thanks for the purchase! Hope they serve you well😊❤🤩
Looks awesome! I love how the awesome things that are TUFTS (and skulls) really make a model come together and I love the edge highlighting via dry brushing. I'd love to see a fully weathered KO army (or maybe just a squad) painted with 40K power armour techniques. That would look sick! ;)
Dude, that's literally my #1 'I want to paint that for me' project, I think their boats could look incredible painted like tanks!
@@ArtisOpus yessss do it!
Your videos are so useful for quick application of base layers and highlights, and from there you can really spend more time on details without feeling like it is a big slog. Nice.
Absolutely, mate; exactly what we're aiming for, all about letting people get to the fun bits quicker, and allowing you to meet expectations, thanks so much for the kind words!
Fantastic, never would have thought that such a result is possible with dry brushing :) would love to see Crimson Fists done in your style~
Thanks so much Jan! It's on the list, for now Ultramarines is the closest we've got :)
@@ArtisOpus Just to say I second the Crimson Fists request! All your videos are incredible though, I always learn a lot and absolutely love your brushes!
My understanding is dry brushing produces a powder type finish yet I dont see that here. Is the video not clear or is that effect not happening?
Looks amazing, wish I could see it in person.
Thanks so much, dude😊
love to see you do a Sons of Medusa - though guessing they be like Salamanders
Hey dude, we'll get to similar chapters and obscure ones once we've done the obvious favourites, so they'll get a look-in at some point 😊😊
Great video, I have subscribed to your channel!
Thanks buddy! There's plenty more content where this came from :)
Great looking finish with that technique. I'd really like to see your take on Crimson Fists using the D series
As we build up our Power-Armour library this is getting requested more and more, I need to work out how to do it my way, and how to make it obviously distinct from the Ultras (ignoring the red hand :)), it's definitely high on the list though (perhaps after white scars, and some bad-dudes)!
Might have to give this a try- I've been looking for ways to take my Dark Angels to the next level. They come out alright with my current techniques, but very basic. They need a little something, so maybe this is it.
Practice, practice😊
New Necron models are coming soon - would love to see your take on the new C'Tan Void Dragon - doing a teal to white - spin the boxart paint job a little bit to Artis Opus styling
We love the models and I'm pretty excited to get my hands on one. There are plenty of new Necron videos coming soon 👀😊 Stay tuned!
Almost as good as the tutorial made by the legendary PugButtMinis,great work!
Thanks, dude!😊
Top job again! I'd never have though to thin down a red for skin tones, I've gotten too lazy with Guilliman flesh or mixing Rhinox hide and black.
Absolutely dude, it's easily done. They are just so convenient :) This mixture does work wonders though and is very flexible.
A great video idea, if it’s not been done already, would be 3 - 5 dry brush blending exercises that would advance blending skills for the beginner/intermediate painters using a spare base, or spare plastic items lying around.
Woo hooo. Definitely some DA food for thought!
:) Did you enjoy it?
Artis Opus absolutely. Ordered some of the paints to give it a go next week.
Dark Angels ftw.
🤘🤘🤘
Nice!
Thanks Nick! :)
Could you go over the technique of using sticks for the arms and such? I’d love to start doing sub-assemblies like this for painting some models
Big fan. Got back in with 9th. Been trying to find a way i'd like to paint a dark angels force. Think i'll try and emulate your methods. It's subtle, but pops where a lot of Dark Angel paint jobs feel kind of flat.
Awesome, dude, good luck! 😊Let us know how it goes.
All of these are amazing!
Have you done or could you educate us on either a white miniature or the half and half coloured miniature?
Thank you
Keep up the great work.
White definitely yes, half and half is a bit more tricky but we'll definitely cover it at some point! Thanks for your suggestions and support, buddy!😊
Awesome video! I am using your technique for my new Dark Angels. I haven’t played since 6th edition so I am pretty excited.
I couldn’t find it so I am wondering, what ratio you used when you mixed the medium and the Dark Angels contrast? Thanks again! 4:35
Great! Thank you for the tips. My DA color scheme is too close from Salamanders. I will try your receipt very soon
Sounds great! Cheers dude!
Would love to see you do a crimson fist
You think you could paint a White Scars dude? I know you've done a video on painting white on minis. But a nice grim dark worn white on a space marine would be much appreciated. If possible. Love the videos.
If Guy Gardener was a Marine...Great job!
I really hadn't though of this until you said it, but you're so right! 😅 Thanks so much bud!
I love your videos! Keep up the great work. I am just starting out on Dark Angels and as it’s Christmas I don’t have any Dark Angels Green Contrast. As it’ll be a while before I can get some, can you recommend something else that isn’t contrast for the wash please?
Hey dude, sorry for the delay. Try using any vibrant green paint you have and mix it with green ink. If you don't have one then carefully adding in a little purple or something for depth may be close for this purpose😊Let us know how it goes!
I have a friend who has a 3000 point unpainted dark angels I will be sending him this right away
I felt a great disturbance in the hobby, as if thousands of painters suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.....3000pts unpainted the Heresy lol
Amazing dude :) Let us know if he liked it!
Love the video, I've just ordered my set of brushes. Quick question, how do you get the arms to sit so well on a stick. When I've tried they move around quite alot. Thanks
I just push them really tight dude, these ones have a very snug fit, you can always put a tiny dot of glue on, and then break the bond if needed, this way you'll get greater friction too, as things'll be less smooth :)
Can you do a dry brush Death wing termies video to?
Thanks for a great video!
I'd love to, just wish they had a little bit less stuff on them 😅 the nurgle tank has been tempting us for a looong time :)
maybe your take on orks/orcs? always loved those models
Certainly doing it in the near future, it has been requested a lot! :)
Hello, I´ve been following your work for some time and the things you do are amazing. I even bought brushes from you and they are top quality. I like your drybrushing technique tutorials. I would like to ask you, if you are going to create tutorial for White scars. Manny thanks, yours faithfully Jan Ježek
Thank you so much for your kind words and support, Jan!😊Keep a close eye on this week's releases!
Might be a bit late, but what ratio did you use for the dark angels green to lahmian medium.
Love these videos but I am intrigued about the lifespan of the brushes using this technique?
Usually they last around 2 years or 2000 points army. Multiple of the brushes you see in the videos are used a lot and are more than a year old😊
I bet you go through a ton of hand soap lol 😆 Beautiful job brother 🤘👍
😁Thanks, buddy!
@@ArtisOpus You're welcome brother 👍
what is the mix between the dark angels green and the medium? because i em trying this video out for my first ever army but i keep getting these ugly brush strokes on my model and idk what im doing wrong. got any tips?
I was wondering how it would look if i started with caliban and then paint as you did show, woud it change the end resault too much? Love how this ended up looking👍
Hey mate, note hugely, just a difference in shadow nuance - it's a tried and tested base, so it'd probably look A1!
Can you do a video/whiteboard talk about how you do sub assembly? I’m having a difficult time with sub assembly on my Necrons because of the small round joints on them! But the way you had the marines head set up for sub assembly seems like it could help
This is genuinely something I wouldn't have thought of at all, but it could be a great topic, it's quite a complicated question/answer, but could absolutely help a load of people out, thanks so much!
Artis Opus hey man no problem, you’d be doing me a real favour by covering this topic and like you said I’m sure it’d help a lot more than just me aha
Hi ! Great video, I love the result !
I didn't understand where the blue on the backpack comes from + your black priming seems purple-ish... Could you explain what you did there please ?
The blue on the backpack is the original sprue colour, the Space Marine heroes have blue, red and green sprues for the ultramarine, blood angels and deathguard versions
The result is so smooth ! Do you think it would work the same for a Space wolves scheme ?
Thanks so much Dorian! Absolutely, check out our Space wolves video: ua-cam.com/video/IuvCLYVCc14/v-deo.html
I'm new to this game beautiful work as usual take care my friend 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏✌️🐑😁😂
Much appreciated Neil :) Hope you're well too!
I'm learning so much but not much time to paint until I get back from work in the morning 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 cheers mate 👍✌️🐑😁😂
Looks awesome mate. What order did you use the paints to get your red details? I really like how the red on the gun looks. Did you do all the gold birts on the model the same way you did the chedt eagle? Thanks.
Hey Billy, it'll sound over simplified but it's really is just the following:
Mephiston red
Black wash (can be a diluted wash, or black paint +medium/water as I did)
Mephiston red again
Wild rider red
Troll slayer orange (optional)
@@ArtisOpus thank you.
I have open ear studio headphones and the audio was so good compared to a bunch of others that I had to stop as I thought the sound was on my speaker / coming from the room and it was really disorienting for the first few minutes :D Do you use some 3DIO microphones or what? :D
Mhhmmm, it's just the normal Lav mic, maybe I got the distance from me perfect or something...? It was on a collar so it could just be the sound entered more directly than normal, when it's a little under my chin.
I wish I knew so I could duplicate it!
@@ArtisOpus It was so perfect on the reference headphones that you can't imagine :D It was a strange experience for sure :D I hope you find how it happened :D FYI you can get fairly decent ones for under 100$ so if you do not already have proper headphones get one :D Also nice job here , I love your videos ^^
Question about the palette you use / sell... Does any of the dried paint ever flake off into the newer wet paint? You have your contrast paint on it and any time I use my plastic palette , anything dried under it starts breaking up and pulling up into it. I think I’m a bit confused by your palette lol. In the store it says to prime it. I think I need one of these.
Hey dude, not unless I've been silly and put new paint on old paint from the same session, that hasn't fully dried yet. I think there's probably a big difference to a primed painted surface and plastic, as it's pretty much the same as a miniature.
The one exception is after you've drybrushed over it, where you can get little dusty flecks of paint, I just brush off the pallet to avoid this :).
Hope that helps, they really are magic, I can't recommend picking one up enough, you'll find yourself learning a lot about painting using one!
Is the method you used to dry brush the armor and then apply contrast green to it considered the slap chop method?
Kind of, drybrush and then contrast of any type basically fits, it's a method we've used for years, before it got a name :)
Question about the green, because on a proper camera even a lame layering looks better, so I have to ask, does the drybrush look as good as it is on this video? Because as I know drybrush always leaves that stippled effect and giving it a glaze doesnt change much, or maybe i miss something? :)
My man, you should definitely check the rest of our channel out 😃. We are all about the drybrushing, and pushing the quality as much as possible. The glaze does make a difference, but of course it is still important to do high quality drybrushing underneath it!
Could you do a Deathwing? Please, and thank you!
White Scars and Plague Marines are on the list, Deathwing should follow shortly after :) Thank you too buddy!
I'm just starting out with 40k and my army is Mantis worries, I would love to see how you would paint them.
Hey dude, I've just googled them, what an awesome colour scheme! I'd actually start them pretty close to how I started this guy, I loved the colour mix of xerus and moot :)
I'm considering buying all three sets of opus brushes next week also, they look absolutely amazing.
You folks really want my money ! Guess I shouldn't disappoint .
;) we're doing our best dude, much appreciated!
What are the blue pieces you have in place of the arms?
They're the pegs for attaching the arms :)
How do you keep the paint from drying on your primed board?
I don't find it's much of an issue really, I paint in the coldest area of the house, which helps. If you're somewhere dry and hot a humidifier actually makes a big difference
I don't suppose you would let me know what recipe you would use for Ultramarines ? Just ordered the dry brush set 😀 should land tomorrow 😀
And I just discovered you already have one on Ultramarines 🙈
Exactly the same as we did in our Ultramarines tutorial. Take that method's colours and apply them just like we did on the Space Wolf or the Imperial Fist. Let me know how it goes 😊 And thank you so much for your support!
@@ArtisOpus they haven't came yet,, apparently element games is waiting on the stock,,,I can't wait,,it's worse than Xmas lol
Can I switch the colors for a purple colored armor? Green as a filter for the purple shadows.
Absolutely dude, just pick a nice deep one (Caliban would be perfect) 😊
How do you get such even coats? Do you just keep the brush very dry? I find it so hard to get the recesses painted without the flat surfaces coming out super dark, and the whole model looking mottled. I guess also the brushes you use, I need to pick up some more like the first brush you were using.
The right tools for the job really make a big difference. Also thinning your paint I'd actually avoid it feeling dry personally and rather aim for just having very little on the brush😊
@@ArtisOpus Thanks for this! I'm still practicing, and it's getting better. I thought thinning paint meant taking most of the paint off the brush, and I'd heard with contrast paint you wanted it fairly thick so it would settle into the recesses, and that the issue I was having was overbrushing it? I'm just really not sure. I'll keep watching videos and practicing, and hopefully I'll figure it out eventually! I'm sure either way I'll need to strip and repaint all my models at some point!
do you add any protective coats to the final model? and if yes how/what?
Not on plastics buddy, I don't feel there's any reason, unless you want a different finish (satin/matte/gloss)
@@ArtisOpus thank you sir!
How Do. Full videos or 1/2 don't care just keep them coming, and one request can we have a 30k Iron warrior or even Pret himself. Ta muchly BaBa
Thanks so much for your support 😊 It's on the list, thanks for the suggestion!
could this work for brighter colors too? for example space wolves?
Absolutely!
when you say the arms are "pressed on" rather than glued, what do you mean?
This model has pegs on the arms, they are pressed on but not glued :)
What kind of pad/wet pallet is that?
Same question for the Dry brushes. Look like Army Painter, but not sure.
We're late on this one! It's our drybrushes and palette :)
store.artis-opus.com/collections/series-d-drybrushing
If you want to can you use caliban?
Absolutely dude! This is just a format, you can swap in/out any paints you want!
How would contrast angle green look over an undercoat of bright silver?
It'd look like a metallic version, check out our ultramarine video for an exact equivalent :)
How essential is it to mix your own base colour vs using caliban green. Only 5 models in and worried about consistency over a whole army.
It's fine to use Caliban, not a worry, with several processes over the top I wouldn't worry about consistency overly, though :)
@@ArtisOpus thanks, it's absolutely awesome to get a response on such an old video. Ive got an iron warriors army in your style and now on the way to creating a DA one. If you ever run master classes, sign me up!
