So what I've found out at 12:12 is that you just need to get non-metallic base color and then dry-brush one coat of metallic on it to get perfect bluish metal without messing around washes and multi-layering
Viewers we'd LOVE your metallic preferences, products, tips, recipes, etc! Post them below, we'll copy the best ones into this comment for the community to use as a resource. What did you think of the video?
Patrick Ball - Stone Junction:
This is the kind of thing I love the contrast paints for, their ability to tint metallics is amazing. One thing I've used myself quite regularly is Talassar Blue contrast paint over a silver base coat and it gives a really beautiful metallic blue - normally my cheat power sword recipe is base coat Iron Warriors, drybrush Vallejo silver and thin coat of Talassar Blue and it gives a nice effect.
Luis Gargallo:
For really rusted look i use base: burnt umber + smoke ink, then sponge in this order: red leather, hull red, orange fire and plague brown then some metal colour like natural steel (all those from vallejo)
I like to use leadbelcher as a base then follow with 2 coats of basilicanum grey. Then highlight once again with leadbelcher. Gives a nice industrial feel to steel.
I'm building a Strormcast Eternals army and wanted a quick and effective dddddway of making them look dirty compared to all the celestial color schemes they normaly have. So I based them with Leadbelcher, followed up with an all covered wash of Agrax Earthshade and followed by Fuegan Orange for that rusty, yet unified look.

Molotow Liquid Chrome can give some phenomenal results. It is so good that I've started to dive in deeper on their other products.
Try their liquid chrome with the techniques you shown in the video. Hint Hint.
Vallejo model air aluminum as a final highlight for any bright finish metallics works beautifully

I don't own it, I will remedy this ASAP :D! Thanks for the tip dude, pinning!
This was a super helpful video. Thank you for sharing!
The chalky type effect that the drybrushing leaves seems to just work perfectly for a heavy metal, giving it a kind of cast iron look .. really do like that effect :D
I think I ended up highlighting some bad priming on these two! Luckily it didn't work out too badly! 😁
You have a new fan from Brazil!! thanks for share and NEVER STOP!
Thanks so much, buddy! Welcome aboard! Love from the UK 😁❤
Amazing video thank you so much for the superb technics and tricks !
Keep up the good work hope to see more very soon !
Oh you’re very welcome bud, always happy to share!☺️Thank you for watching and supporting!
How did you know I needed this right now? Gave it like, then watched it :)
Great minds think alike?😁
Great video Byron, answered all the questions I had and saved me a ton of cash as I can now make all the colours I was after. Keep up the great work
Wow that's amazing to hear, dude 🤩Thanks so much for your support!
Great tips, definitely want to try some of these out! One more for consideration: I like to mix in an ink (in your color of choice - I use vallejo) with the silver color basecoat to tint the metallic from the very start. Seems to make it a bit easier to shade/highlight later on, and I feel like you get a little more intense color saturation. As always though, it just depends on the look you're after.
Honestly the best acrylic metallics i’ve ever used are the Vallejo Metal Colors, only downside is their availability. Their coverage and ease of application combined with the sheen they produce are second to none. They also take inks really well so you can create any metallic color you want without buying a bottle for each one
Interesting dude, I've heard they didn't play well with other colours or blending. I guess this doesn't extend to inks though! 😊
They take contrast rather well.
I think they also have interesting textures that you just don't see in other paints. Magnesium for example, really is black metal. There's not much sheen to at all.
these videos really are next level excellent even for seasoned painters learning new tricks
Wow! Happy you think so 🤩Thanks so much!
Thanks again great info, great video, another one added to my save collection. Keep up the good work much appreciated
Awesome, thank you! And Happy 2021🥳
Really liked that last example. Think I'll use that on my Grey Knights. Can not wait for my Artist Opus brush set to arrive :D
This Video poped up exactly when I needed it.
Encouraged me to do a whole army in tinted metal colors, wich I'm hopefully finishing by the end of February
Big thumbs up
Oh wow, that's amazing to hear! Good luck with your new project and don't forget to share your progress🤩
Wow amazing results!! Thanks so much, this will be perfect for my future grey knights project. I loved the mixture results best and will probably do that. 👍🏻
Thanks so much, dude! I will definitely be tackling Grey Knights at some point in the future. It will be nice for the challenge to be how to make it look as shiny as possible and clean rather than wethered. Don't be afraid to experiment, good luck😊🤞
Leviadon Blue is one the Citadel best colours, can be broken down almost to any kind of blue colours. Great video, thank you!
No worries, Sam :)
You’re awesome I love watching your videos!! Thank you!!!
Hi thanks for making such great vids your content is really helping me learn
Happy to hear that! We're here for this! 🤩
Aw yisss ! The video I needed in my life.
🤘🤩
Great tutorial! I recently made an error on a nice gold stormcast where I used an all over purple glaze which was way too strong. Lesson learnt!
"No way to go wrong here"
You sir, underestimate my power greatly!
Thanks for the tutorials >< gives me a lot of ideas on how to flesh out all aspects of my minis
You're so welcome! Thanks for watching!😊
What such a good video, congratulations!
Thanks, dude!
Very nice video I can really use this, cheers byron
You're welcome buddy, my pleasure
Thanks for the comparisons. I love using thinned contrasts as washes. Much more versatile and has a better finish than GW washes
Good point! I actually prefer their first way of washes by a long way! 😊
THANK YOU!!! That was very informative and useful! And a treat to watch too! =)
Glad you enjoyed it! Always happy to help! 😊
Fantastic video. Thanks. Subbed
Been hemming and hawing about how I'd going to tackle some kharadrons for underworlds and grey knight paladins for kill team. Occurred to me tonight that washes and glazes might be worth exploring, so couldn't have watched this at a better time. Thanks mate!
Absolutely, dude! Grey Knights will probably be appearing in the next couple of months on the channel which I'm really looking forward to😊
nice video, thank you for sharing your knowledge
My pleasure! Thanks for your support and Happy 2021🥳
Again again another perfect video for us painters - really amazing and cheers from Denmark 🇩🇰
Merry Christmas, hopefully we’ll Brexit transmission and a very happy New Year 😊🇩🇰🤘🏻
Amazing, buddy, hugely appreciated🤩Happy Holidays and lots of love from the UK 🎅🎄❤
After trying Vallejo Metal Color I use mostly them. And mix them with inks or apply contrast paints over them for coloring metallics. Inks give a glossy finish, whereas contrast paints give a more matte finish.
Awesome video. Thanks. 👍
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching and supporting
Thank for the video 👍
You're more than welcome, dude! And thank you for watching!
Speaking of Contrast/Glaze + Metallics, it's worth mentioning the various extra effects that you get when combining them with non-silver metallics, like gold (for example: Retributor Armour + Akhellian Green contrast). With some practice, you can achieve some really nice results.
Really do love your videos, would love to see you do a bust or something like that
Interesting idea! I'll give this a think although I need to think how to make this relevant for the most viewers as possible😊Thanks so much!
I like the video. Been trying different options for some old school Chaos Warriors. This will help greatly. Also, nice to find someone else using Bensound!
Glad you enjoyed! And happy 2021🥳
So, one of the things I've been playing around with is a way of getting a super-patinaed bronze base color starting with GW Balthazar Gold and then washing with a cold green wash like Coelia Greenshade or similar. Something about the strong color temperature contrast between the base and the wash works. Instead of getting something muddy, there's a really interesting warm but muted green metal tone with bronze highlights out of it. Makes me want to try some other nominally contrasting washes on strongly colored metal bases.
I absolutely love that type of stuff! I've made a lol of similar discoveries by 'accident' on my texture palette. It's one f the reasons I'm not using one so much. 😊
Vallejo Metal Color, there is a downside though. You'll never use your other metallic paints again.
100 % on this - some of them are a bitch to find but absolutely
I agree for base coats, it makes doing trim a breeze. The only downside is I haven’t been able to dry brush with it as it is so thin. .
100% agree! Except for the bright gold, their gold is kind of green-ish...
Mix 3 parts vallejo metal colour gold to 1 part copper for a richer, warm gold.
I love the Vallejo Metallics in their game range especially the golds that they do
100% agreed!
Excellent video again Byron. Was there a premiere? If so I had no notification ☹
Love the style of these shields will need to look at using these effects on my next armour plated model, super effective as always.
Keep up the great work, truly inspiring!
There was a premiere buddy and there will be plenty more. Always here for tips and inspiration! Thanks a ton!
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it Thanks for watching!
As always, awesome video 👍 love from France
Awesome! Thank you so much! Lots of love from the UK❤🎄
@@ArtisOpus do you want a stormblade?
I honestly would love to sit in a workshop style lesson with you and these brushes
We used to do plenty painting classes before the Covid situation. Looking forward to continuing with it, got many new interesting ideas. Keep updated and as soon as we're allowed to do workshops again you'd be the first to know. Happy 2021🥳😁
@@ArtisOpus awesome
Great vid again! I'm really liking mixing tallasar blue contrast paint in with leviadon, as leviadon is a bit dull, whilst tallasar is to my eyes, actually too bright for almost anything warhammer.
Thanks so much for the support, dude! That sounds awesome! Love the thinking behind it!
Another amazing video with a nice overview of technique combinations. With such small items like these shields, could you, in future videos, sometimes hold the miniature closer to the camera? The shield is about 2% of the screen size and it would be lovely to get a better and larger view (especially on mobile) of the painting process during the session and not only at the end.
Thanks so much, dude! Thanks for the tip, we'll do our best! 😊
Perfect timing! I'm working on Vulkan forge father and I wanted give the armor lizard skin metallic look! Sub'd and notifications are on!
Thanks so much for your support, bud!
@@ArtisOpus I used a flat green and used black to darken it for shadowy areas and mix with yellow for highlights. This worked so awesome!
Tips wise I find Dark Star molten metals really good for dry brushing. They give an almost burnished effect and mix well with other metallic to give a wide range of colours / effects. I use their Copper, silver and bright steel in various combinations do the thing Vallejo metal colour isn't so good for
Great point! I've got a lot of love for Dark Star range and their quality
Holy Jesus thank you so much for this tutorial this one's going to be my permanent save
Always happy to help😊What are you planning to use it for?
@@ArtisOpus I mainly paint gundam mecha kits from Bandai! Been always a struggle though with 100% handbrushing in full
At the moment for my metallics I've been using Turbo Dork's Silver Fox and Tim Star. And I have gotten with the airbrush an almost chrome looking effect.
Vallejos metallics are also very nice
Lovely! We know the guys are Turbodork from our shows abroad, they are good peeps :)
Would to love your take on some grimdark models maybe AOS models still see what kind of look you can achieve
I like using transparent Pro Acryl mixed with Pro Acryl metallics. Another nice color is Scale Color speed metal for edges.
This looks amazing! Couple questions though, will this work to this extent with any silver base? For example leadbelcher? And also, I want to do a red metallic armour, what red wash/glaze/contrast would you recommend?
Another technique: With AP Speedpaints you can tint the metallic and after it dried reverse-drybrush with a damp brush by slowly taking away color to bring out the highlights again. The "flaw" with the reactivating paints really is more of a feature I came to realize!
Thanks man, basically using them a little like oils, thanks to their flaw, it's a good idea!
I am pretty sure the glazes are out of production, but my go to metallic recipe for my SOB of the argent shroud, is basecoat with leadbelcher, and is then a wash of 50/50 nuln oil and drakenhoff nightshade, then drybrush with ironbreaker, and then a lighter drybrush with necron compound... For golds I use vmc bronze, then use a wash of the geedubs verdigris milk stuff😂 quick drybrush of the bronze again and a very subtly drybrush of auric gold
They look awesome. I've been playing around with going bluey metallic weapons on my red themed army. Looks ok, but I'll use some of this to take it next level. Thank you
You should do a Lord of change/ pairs fateweaver. Lots of people will have him from the new Battleforce box. I have a plan of how to do mine, but it would be I rereading to see your take on the wings particularly.
Cheers
Thanks a ton, dude! We will 100% get to this one at some point in the future! It's asking for an attempt on speed painting. I can't wait to try those wings either once I've worked out what approach I will be taking😊
@@ArtisOpus some birds have a Metallicy/ iridescent look to the feathers 🤔
Haven’t watched yet. Already liked, change my mind.
😅😅😅😅😅😅❤
Hello, first of all congratulations on your tutorial it is great, I have a question what is the glass thing where you wipe your brush (wet sponge to clean your brush?)
Vallejo metal colors are hands down better than any other option. I use the Duraluminium as the base for steel silvers and gold and then the copper for well... copper
Another video that holds a lot information and helps to understand different techniques. I will try the methods the next time I paint steelclad knights. Thank you very much. What abot the Bloodthirsters though? ;-)
Glad you think so, dude, thanks a ton! That one is probably going to fall around 30k subs😊All the equipment we think we're gonna need has arrived though as they're gonna be part of an army painting challenge.
I have experimented with metallic thinner medium for dilution of a vibrant color and the results are pleasantly surprising.
Amazing! I need to give this a go myself! 🤩
Cool!
Thanks!🎅
The contrast is already convincing me to expand more on the method. Good glazing for the metalic effects on the shield.
What's your thought on the new Army Painter Speedpaints 2.0 contrast? Are they good with the glazing?
The paints i use is mostly Army Painter then i use Green Stuff World Colorshift paints. :)
but Vallejo is also good paints.
Gonna try this with my Orks, I like the idea that they didn't put enough paint on to cover the metal so it just got sheared off over time.
Should be perfect, dude! Let us know how it goes 🤩
you put blue contrast into your lahmian medium. My eye twitched a bit haha.
good video though! I enjoyed learning
These shields look really cool, any of them would be a real talking point across a whole army, but if you really want to make metallics pop, hit them with a satin varnish! Gloss can make them look a little plasticy, but satin will give them a nice realistic sheen!
Very good point man, that's something I should have covered in the video! 🤩
I tried mixing some kantor blue with leadbelcher, it worked pretty well for my purposes! Definitely doesn't look like this though, though I guess I didn't shade or drybrush or anything, just basecoated
The filtering is really important, it adds depth you can only get from the end steps of painting, that base is a good one, though!
Wow awesome, What brush you using bro?
At the 12:24 mark was that the Leviadon Blue or the Drakenhof Nightshade shield?
I wish i had a best friend of ur caliber?
"Cause I'd be gettin 1 awesome Minature this Xmas" 😆
are you going to do one on the different ways to paint copper?
So these are all amazing... Speaking of grey knights, What are your thoughts on grey knights steel as a silver/blue colour? I haven't used it myself. My pile of shame has some grey knights in it and one day I'll get there haha. Also, would love to see some of your work on the channel. especially if it pairs well with the content of the video too. like a "here's a simple tutorial. but if you want to push it to the limit, here's something I did a while ago using these techniques to get max quality". Or would that sound too much like bragging? :P
Excellent video. May I ask what that sponge in a jar is from? The one you use to dilute the metal paint before your dry brush? I've never seen this item. Thank you
That's our dampening pad John. I use it for adding moisture to the painting process - before, while and during😊 It works for all paints, not just metallics. store.artis-opus.com/collections/frontpage/products/dampening-pad-preorder
If you wanna have a real muddy effect on your miniatures specially the ones with armour like space marines, storm troopers maybe stormcast I would do the followin:
First do some armour scratches with your silver of choice cause drawing random lines will mame your mini cool and it combines really well with the muddy effect .
You will need Vallejo European Earth and Vallejo Pigment Binder ( you can use any binder o air brush thinner ) . Now you begin with showering really hard your miniatures and trying to have some of the pigment accumulate. Keep in mind even with the binder a lot of the pigment will fall before it gets nicely fixate so even if it seems to much pigment trust me it's allright. I reccomend you having some paper in your workzone so you can collect the pigment that fall s off the miniature. Now you can ham as well with the binder try avoid excesive pooling but don't get to concerned if it does pool it takes some days but it dries away eventually. A nice trick you can do if you are doing the base afterwards is accumulate the excesive pooling in one of the feets this will help you do a cool effect when you are adding your texture. I added stirland mud and when it finally dried the result was that in the pooled zone there was a little hole with some pigment in it and it contrasted really nice with the base. I ended up drybrushing some rakarth flesh and some tufs.
It's just a really basic way of taking advantage of scratches and pigments to take some meh looking troopers to some cool ass unit but I hope someone can take advantatge of it.
A brush company promoting contrasts and glazes..well played..
Great video. How do you find that the Series D stands up to Metal paints. I’ve never tried dry brushing using your method with metal yet, but have long heard horror stories of metal paint eating nice brushes. Do you find that the life of the series D is shortened by the tiny razor blades within the paint?
Thanks, dude! Surprisingly no actually😊because we don't encourage any paint to reach the ferrule of series D ever the metallics don't get into the most problematic areas and cause mischief. I do recommend sticking to high quality 'non-gritty' metallics but you should be fine with any acrylics really😊
Do you use different dry brushes for Metallics or does it matter? I’m worried about transferring those metallic flecks into other paints that aren’t metallic on other projects.
great tutorial! what's the difference between the contrast & lamian mediums?
So I need to do some proper research into this, but for me it feels like they are very similar, perhaps with lahmian being better to use in washes you want to look super smooth (for some reason?). It could be because contrast is still meant to hit raised areas as a filter, whereas washes are meant to pool in recesses, with very little coverage on raised parts/minimal filtering.
I hope that helps!
May I ask where you got those shields? I need a cost effective way of practicing without subjecting my models to my unskilled fingers
Hey Timothy, it might be a time to jump on Ebay for some second hand Stormcast. These are a job lot of demo models that I got my hands on and they've been incredibly useful 😊
I've tried to use Druchii Violet (shade) on Runefang Steel from GW however the shade really dulls down the metal. What am I doing wrong?
It may be a particular trait of Druchii, you could try a couple of things:
- Varnish after (shine restored!)
- Use a shinier metal base (I use Vallejo Game Air silver lots, they have chrome, aluminium, etc that are even brighter, though
- Mix some medium with your violet, it'll make it more dilute
Good luck :)
You could also go back in and edge with your silver after, even with a little druchii in it for coherency
Have you ever used Turbo Dork metallics? I’ve only seen them on UA-cam, but the finish looks amazing
Not so great with a brush, but multiple coats using airbrush are good. I have a few, with a brush it's hard to manage pigmentation, it takes a while to build up.
I actually just picked up my first at Element las week. I'll be sure to use them on the channel once I've tested them out. I've heard good things about them :)
@@ArtisOpus They have potential as a tint on other metallics too. One of my thoughts was for a sort of chimeric edge adding some turbodork to something like the vallejo blue metallic, to enhance a sort of magical quality to it. Otherwise adding it as a highlight colour for a coloured metallic could work. I'm quite interested in the new Army Painter metallic colours when they come out and mixing them with turbodork too.
What brand is that large brush?
We are using our XL Series D, bud :)
WHat is that dust you were dipping the drybrush into? New to the hobby, never seen that before...
It's a series D dampening pad, it's moisture, not dust :) check out our introduction to drybrushing for some more info, and products here store.artis-opus.com/collections/series-d-drybrushing
I am rather new to the hobby what is moisture pot called so I can look into that for when I start to learn drybrushing?
It’s a dampening pad. I got mine from Artis Opus. It’s a part of the system that Byron and the team have developed. Change how I paint overnight
Yup! It's our dampening pad, we use it to add moisture to the brush while painting😊
Have you tried using a transparent paint over metal? Like the monument transparent paints?
I have but not the Monument ones yet! I am really looking to trying more out of their range 😊🤩
With application of contrast medium, you can make Contrast paint as weak as you need it to be.
The initial application of undiluted contrast made my heart skip a beat - don't think I'll ever see contrast the same way haha
It's a little ballsy but very fast. You can always use a bit of medium if required. 😊
Where did you get gulliman blue from?
If you mix regular paints with Lahmium Medium in the right ratio you can achieve similar effects to the old Glaze paints. I think that Warhammer TV have a couple of videos where they did this very effectively (where I got the idea from) - can't recall on what off the top of my head.
All correct! Thanks for the input guys!
I airbrush contrast a lot , used to airbrush guitars and it acts almost like a candy paint
I am a real fan of this too and definitely haven't given it enough time😊
asking because i have health problems. but does wiping paint on your hand like that bad for you?
Hey David, I personally haven't got any issues with that. But if you have any health conditions you'd might want to advise with your GP, just to make sure 😊
Any love for Army Painter?
Scale 75 dwarven gold instead of retributor it has much better coverage and is easier to work with over all i has a much better golden metallic shine and look to it
Interesting, I've used S75 a lot, but didn't clock any of the golds as being this sexy, I'll see if I have it and give it a go next time I need something shiny! TY
I need 30 shields to practice on 🤣🤣
😁😁😁Start an army then you can have 30 minis to go with them
@@ArtisOpus I’m a painter not a gamer 😕
I made this step by step guide on how I paint weathered dark metal with mostly washes, hope it helps one or the other :) instagram.com/p/CG7lGuzH69K/?
Contrasts+Glazes+Metallics are brilliant for painting armour. This is exactly what I used for this guy from AoS
instagram.com/p/B5FOeekHvTu/
Are you insane ? 1:44 doesnt it contaminate the medium by not cleaning the brush before you us the medium ?
I get this a lot, honestly not to any extent which matters IMO, due to the consistency you're much more likely to pick up medium than contaminate it. However if you're less lazy than me it's always good practise. of course :)
scalecolor metallics
They are tasty, love a bit of thrash metal :)
Don’t forget to like and comment to appease the almighty algorithm 😁👍🏼

Good techniques, usually i wouldn't watch a fantasy painting vid as it depletes my testosterone and adds to my gynecomastia, gotta draw the line somewhere.
There's a time and a place for everything, dude😊Now go back to chopping trees and waging war😂
