Yeah, I bet that'd look great. I think Tzeentch flames could look good with a different fluorescent spray too: maybe pink or green? I bet blue ink sponged over fluorescent pink would look neat and create some interesting purple-y transistions.
@@JollyLark Ooh, I might have to try that. Maybe I'll use the orange spray for my brimstone horrors and the pink spray for the accent flames on my other models. I'm still thinking about the flame tip colours but leaning towards blues/purples. I'm new to the hobby, just started painting a few weeks ago. Thanks for the tips!
@@johnw9038 Post a link to some pics, when you try. The key thing when using the sponged-on inks for the flame tips will be using something that will blend with the base color, since the inks are transparent. So I'd avoid any colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel, like I wouldn't layer blue over orange or green over red.
@@JollyLark Thank you, I will keep that in mind and I will try to remember the pics. I think I'll get the 3 sprays you suggested then transition them to various purples/blues as appropriate. I'm excited to try this. I will need to wait at least a month though because my parents will pick up the sprays at a shipping depot in the US.
That's really cool! For some reason, I've never considered using the purple and blue, even though I know you see the colors in real fire. I'll definitely be trying this
That was my thinking: trying to pull in more of the colors that do flicker through flames. I'm curious to try something similar but with other color palettes. I like the "texture" that sponging on the ink created.
Nice - I was eyeing some of their metallic for the Radjukar. They have a dark bronze/copper color that looks like it might work well as a base coat. I may end up just air-brusing the metallic, but I often prefer spray cans over airbrushing for base-coating a big batch of minis (and I've got 24 Redjukar assembled and ready to paint).
@@JollyLark They look great! but I had to use brush on primer over the bits I wanted to paint over as a first layer! May just be part of the very shiny sprays
The Montana was the best looking option I found locally, but another bright orange spray would probably work fine, as long as it goes on reasonably thin. I've found airbrushed fluorescents really want to be put on top of white and don't cover other colors that well. I haven't been able to get a similar effect by airbrushing fluorescent paint over an opaque color.
@@JollyLark Not even Bad Moon Yellow? Huh. Good to know. That was actually my plan. I was thinking I could just use a Pro Acryl or Army Painter fluorescent orange from a airbrush. Either way, thank you for the tutorial. I'm still going try stippling purple and blue the next time I attempt to paint magical flames.
@@matthewmatheny387 If I was going to do it without the fluorescent orange spray, I would probably prime white, airbrush fluorescent orange, then wash with white ink, followed by bad Moon yellow.
Great looking mini! Personally I never enjoyed the Montana Gold paints due to their low pressure, I much prefer their Black line as it's high pressure, but I don't think they have it in fluo colours.
Interesting. I'll have to check out the black line. I thought the low pressure was good for a controlled over-spray of orange. For an even base-coat, I could see the higher pressure being better.
@@JollyLark I just felt it didn't come out as finely misted with gold, but to be fair. A lot of work is done by the nozzles/caps you use. I think "we" want soft and/or skinny
Haven't heard anything about the new turbodork metallics but just looking at this footage they look great! Have you tried vallejo metal colour - and if so how do they compare? VMC is my gold standard but would love to fill the gaps in their colour lineup.
I really like the Vallejo metal colours, but they're not great with a brush; they really want to be airbrushed on. I've only tried the one metallic color from Turbodork so far, but I'm impressed with it's sheen and how good it looks brushed on. I'm going to pick up a silver metallic from the local store this week and try it out. I also really like the new, reformulated metallics from the Vallejo Game Color range. They work will with a regular brush and all look great. I suspect I'll land on using a combination of those and the Turbodork paints.
Looking gorgeous!
Wow those genies look great. I'm gonna try to do this with all the flames on my Tzeentch units.
Yeah, I bet that'd look great. I think Tzeentch flames could look good with a different fluorescent spray too: maybe pink or green? I bet blue ink sponged over fluorescent pink would look neat and create some interesting purple-y transistions.

I use the 94 brand spray paints exclusively for painting terrain. They're amazing!
I picked up a couple more colors to try for scenery: some browns, some rusty reds. They seem like they'd be great for that.
@@JollyLark I really like their greens as well for forest stuff, and their light blues work great for snow colors.
That's really cool! For some reason, I've never considered using the purple and blue, even though I know you see the colors in real fire. I'll definitely be trying this

love those colours!
Ive used the montana chrome gold on minis before, its really cool. Will have to look into some of their other colours now you have mentioned it!

I may end up just air-brusing the metallic, but I often prefer spray cans over airbrushing for base-coating a big batch of minis (and I've got 24 Redjukar assembled and ready to paint).
Do you have any examples posted of how the chrome gold looks on a mini? I'd be curious to see it.
@@JollyLark They look great! but I had to use brush on primer over the bits I wanted to paint over as a first layer! May just be part of the very shiny sprays
I've never seen flames done like this. It looks amazing! I might need a substitute for the Montana spray paint but I need to try this.

This model looks great and I saved your video to try this technique later! Your audio is really quiet though. I had to watch at 100% volume.
Thanks for letting me know! It sounds OK on my end, but I can try boosting it bit in the future.
Volume is fine for me seems normal
