[@IneXtrikabul]

This is exactly the style I was looking for! Nothing else looked anywhere near as good.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks 😊

[@NatesMiniatures]

o0o0o another How to paint video, commenting before I watch it because I know it will be good

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks mate

[@roshamjoepaints]

Not sure if I should be grateful or resentful for this tutorial. On the one side, I've been able to see what I was doing wrong and have been extremely happy with how the blades/weapons I've been painting since watching this have come out. On the other hand, I now feel the urge to repaint all of my other Necrons who don't have this method...
I'm gonna go with grateful though. Nicely done!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks, I really appreciate it.
Nothing wrong with painting the blades again, if you do, you will be happier

[@Andy-ok7wy]

There are so many talented miniature painters on UA-cam but this is the best I've seen.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks mate 😘

[@PezzaTheFlezza]

Everything you produce is just top tier! Can’t wait to give this a go

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks! Try it, it's good fun

[@attiladukai2121]

Best one.
It was really helpful for my wife.

[@fitzgigler]

Juan I just wanted to say, this was some of the best advice I could have asked for! my blades look SO MUCH BETTER than I could have ever hoped, even though they pale in comparison to yours! You are one of the best!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks mate, that's really appreciated

[@CMDRJoobs]

This is an awesome tutorial with lots of carefully explained detail on quite a difficult technique to get right - I'm going to try and replicate it on my new Necron army!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks, I really appreciate that. Good luck and have fun!

[@725Chrisj]

This is such a fantastic tutorial! My first run did turn out quite as well, but im still happy with the result and can’t wait to try again on another blade to see if I can improve

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks mate, I'm really glad I could help you.

[@AndreasNolh]

This is the best tutorial I've seen so far on on how to paint the Necron blades.
I'll definitely be using this technique from now on.

Amazing work, man!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks mate 😘

[@IchKuchen]

Man you can't believe how much you helped me. The Plasmancer is among my first minis and the way this technique elevated my army is beyond insane. Thank you so much man. Sadly, I can't support you financially as of now, but I will make sure this video, and you channel in general gets more exposure (as it deserves) by spreading it across all platforms I'm on. Cheers brother.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks mate, I really appreciate it.
I'm very glad you found my video useful

[@alphariuslives8923]

Great tutorial, simple and easy to understand! I would have personally applied a thin coat of Ardcoat on the blade to do a small shiny effect on the weapon but that's just my taste ^^

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

I don't like that because it detracts from the blending work and if I want to paint something shinny I like to paint the effect myself.
I personally never use gloss varnish but I understand why people do and I respect it. Always do what makes you happy

[@markgnepper5636]

Great stuff friend 👏 👍

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks 😘

[@danielkelley4036]

I just want to say thank you a lot. I have watched probably 30 videos and no matter how hard i tried to get these blades down for my Skorpekh Destroyers I just couldnt do it. But for my lynchguard i decided to give it another try and with ur video i finally made it work.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

YEAH!

[@TheCrmerry]

This tutorial really helped me paint Necron blades. Greatly appreciated!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks

[@mcintyreseamus]

The base coat mix will look perfect for my dark angel army, pure caliban green is a crap paint to get smooth no matter how many thin coats I try.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

I never had any problems with it but this mix is a bit lighter and I think it looks great

[@CyberDagger003]

Caliban Green might as well be water if you want to paint it over a black primer.

[@yannleroux1005]

First time I actually comment one of your videos, they are all exceptionaly good but this one surpasses them. You're on the way to become the new Darren Latham my dear, hats off to you!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Stop it, you are going to make me cry

[@Lmwpitt]

It's an incredible tutorial.
Yet to utilise, but if I'm patient with waiting drying times then it looks fairly simple to execute.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks

[@DiegoPerez-ot5jl]

The hand of a true master.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks, Necrons paint so well. I loved painting the one I did for the channel

that looks amazing dude I just painted some blades myself and was somewhat satisfied until I saw this video lol

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Lol
I'm sure they are great

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Lol, thanks 😊

[@jherazob]

You went no less than 2-3 steps further than i'd have, to fantastic results!
And now i have the itch to try this same method on my undead robots, *but using metallic paints instead*

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Nice! What a great idea

[@jherazob]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures And i would do it *in bluuuuue* [Evil laughter]

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

LoL

[@quasistellar]

That's the beauty of it though. You could stop at the moot green edge highlight step and already have outstanding looking blades.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Yes, that is true

[@OrrgunUK]

Thanks Juan! I’d been looking to try this kind of effect on a power sword for the first time. This video really helped!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Glad it did! Thanks for watching mate 😘

[@Ghostbearuk]

This video is superb. I finally understand glazing thanks to this tutorial. Also the music is great ... reminds me of Darkwoods for some reason. Great job on this tutorial!!

Thanks mate, I'm glad my video made the technique click for you

[@bezzy8257]

Excellent tutorial

Awesome paint job, well shown and explained.

Really good content. Going to try this with a pink colour scheme.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks for this tutorial! I like the fact that you don't have to use a ton of colors.

Mine is red and blue-black but the technique is sound.
Thanks!

Happy to help

[@javimotta8237]

Amos a ver Juan...creo que me he enamorado...el verde va a ser mi más mejor color/amigo a partir de ahora 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Me encanta el acabado tan suave en el cambio de tono que le has dado. Estoy deseando abrir mi caja de indomitus y empezar a pintar cuchillas llenas de energía gauss😋.
Eres el faro que guía en esas noches frías y oscuras, intentando acabar una mini antes de irte al sobre a sobar😄
Gracias Juan por este efecto tan conseguido. Mucho más detallado que en el vídeo anterior...para los que somos menos hábiles jaja.

Gracias guapo 😘
Es más detallado pero también es otro proceso distinto, personalmente prefiero este modo

[@DeamoDan]

Just getting back into the hobby after over 20 years & this tutorial helps me understand glazing. Are you using any flow aid or just water for your glazes. You've earned yourself another sub, many thanks!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

If nothing is clearly stated, only water but if you have troubles using medium is a perfectly acceptable option

[@joshsimpson7259]

Nice

[@Vikingeek]

Have got to the stage of painting my necron character weapons, and this video will be super useful - though I'm doing mine in Yellow, not Green, so will have to try and figure out the colour recipe for that, but using these techniques!
That and figuring out which parts should be light and dark on the Skorpekh Lord's massive blade!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

You use a dark orange for your darkest colour and yellow for the midtones, just add white for Highlights

[@Vikingeek]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Thanks! So far I've got Tau Light Ochre, Averland Sunset and Flash Gitz - do you think I'd be better off with more of an orange tone than the Tau Light Ochre (with more of a fade to black from there?)

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

If you do tau light, it will look more like Gold NMM than Yellow.
If you want a light yellow look, you need to use orange as shadows and move away from ochres all together. Also don't use black.
That's my take on it. Flash Gitz Yellow is a good start

[@Vikingeek]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures I guess I'll be heading to the shop tomorrow to find a suitable orange!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

I would probably choose Wild Rider red for the Darkest tone (Black here) and use mixes of that and Flash Gitz for the intermediate tones. Highlights would be Dorn and White

[@schaeefer]

Spank me sideways this is amazing! Great tutorial and I can't wait to try it on the indomitus set

Nope, sorry mate. All the loyalists marines are already painted and I don't plan to paint any more ever.

[@CrimsonTemplar2]

Really great video. Any reason you didn’t use Dark Angels Green & Warp Lightning as opposed to Caliban Green & Warpstone Glow?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Because I already did that and this was to recreate the Eavy Metal recipe. They didn't use any Contrast for their blades

[@DarkDramon]

Just found this video! Looks very very simple (just needs lots of patience). But I'm confused how you made your glazes? did you apply the lahmian medium to each one or just add water until it was the amount of thinness to apply?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

If I don't say anything, I just use water, but feel free to use Lahmian if you find it works better for you

Watch the How to Paint - Farsight Enclaves. That's how I would paint it personally

[@CaptainCoolpants101]

Just watched this again, step by step, to paint the same model. Nowhere near as pro looking as yours of course. But looks decent from a distance.
So thank you for video once again!
On a side note. Don't suppose you have a similar video in the pipe works for a larger necron weapon, like what a skorpekh destroyer has? Id be very interested in seeing how you go abouts painting all the separate paneling on the blade itself.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

No sorry I don't. Also I'm glad it helped you
