This is the best looking dry brush power sword I've seen. One small suggestion. Running the final center highlight could be done more easily by leaving the first piece of masking tap in place and adding a second on the other side - leaving a super thin gap between them to brush over. Perfect, crisp straight line.
I'm actually not terrible at dry brushing so watching this has me believe that it's achievable. Especially since you go through the method step by step, showing the progress. I'll be trying this myself.
I feel like drybrushing still has more untapped potential. It's one of the most forgiving techniques and is so simple to use. It's like the contrast paint of techniques.
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures I just want add though, I think it probably takes pros like yourself to find these new techniques, because your standard of quality and speed is higher, so you're going to have a better idea if a new idea either won't work at all after an attempt or two or instead go "Hey, I should try to refine this, this might work". I'd wondered once about dry rushing swords a couple of times, but I have trouble sometimes with applying too much pressure with dry rushing. I originally assumed the paint just wouldn't handle it.
First way my models started to look not terrible, if I'm honest I still use it to cheat and add something else to panels so I don't have to highlight 😂
Really appreciate this , have recently started getting back into painting and weapons have been what i have struggled with the most . Had been trying and failing to get a decent result with glazing but this is much more intuitive to me and has given great results.
This is a game changer. I can never get glazing and blends to look right, and with I've now finally made my first good looking NMM blade thanks to this. Thank you!
I wasn't sure how to go about painting my power sword and decided to give this a shot, it worked perfectly and looks amazing. Thank you for making this video!
This series is an epiphany truly. This is gonna help me not only with a few swords on my new space Marines but with doing the energy blade on my necron destroyers! All the thanks JH!
This is exactly what I was looking for ! Thanks you so much for the tutorial. I always though it was a very hard job to get an energetic sword, but you made it very simple !
So fun fact, I’m by far, much better at dry brushing than I am glazing. Just tried this on a sprue and yup, first time I got a NMM that actually looks correct. Thanks for this!!!
I just got over worry by trying a molten sword using a similar effect, but the NMM style ripple of light this makes feels like a natural next step for me to try next. Always out the comfort zone!
Cool. Looks great. I could use some more instruction on the dry brushing the small parts, like when adding the white. This should help though on my Blade Guard Veterans I'm finishing up for my DA combat patrol. Only the Captain and 2 of the BGVs till it's done! Took me 6 months though. I paint very slowly
After you mentioned the Artify drybrushes, I picked them up. I haven't gotten around to using them yet, but I definitely picked them up. I've been using the same 3 brushes and two make up brushes for like a year (my curled up synth detail brush for like 4 years). It's time to retire those race horses.
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Well, not that much work for a really cool result, yes, it takes off a lot of pressure and you gain the fun aspect. Again, very smart ^^
Me ha gustado esta forma de hacer transiciones con pincel seco. Voy a probarlo con naranjas y amarillos en los cuchillos de plasma de unos yaegir que estoy pintando.
Muchas gracias Juan por este pedazo de Vídeo !!! Queda Genial esa Espada 🗡️, qué opinas, se podría hacer igual con pincel seco pero un NMM? Muchas gracias y un saludo !
Holy hell does that look good, amazing stuff man. I'm struggling with painting bolt rifles for my Sisters of Battle currently, the flat sides of the bolt gun make the end result of painting them look a bit boring, especially compared the more interesting shapes of their armour and accessories, can you remember if you've done any videos that include painting a bolter? Or, if not, how would you go about making a rifle have the same eye-catching, jaw-dropping effect of something like the power swords from this video? They look soooooooooo good. Thanks for the tutorial!
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures I have a few dry brushes,a couple of ak interactive etc, but decided to get this Artify set as the various sizes are what I've been looking at. Thanks for the recommendation. Keep up the excellent videos best guides I've ever seen on UA-cam.
Another great tutorial. Thank you! A question about the use of the brushes. Do you wash them out completely before changing color and then dry them or do you just keep on brushing?

You most definitely can do it
I like this new 'no fuss, no muss' method of painting swords! So easy, even a caveman can do it!
That's the idea
Hello caveman here! It's true
@@JuanHidalgoMiniaturesno skill = less chance to make mistake & easy to apply
Skills are good & all, but being consistent is more important😊

Yeah same I struggle this will help heaps
Just used your guide a few days ago and the result was amazing. Best sword I have made by far. Thanks for the great tutorial.
Really appreciate this , have recently started getting back into painting and weapons have been what i have struggled with the most . Had been trying and failing to get a decent result with glazing but this is much more intuitive to me and has given great results.
The edge highlight with the tip of the brush being held perpendicularly to the sword is nightmare fuel.
I was shaking watching it haha
I live at the edge

Bloody hell Juan, you were always ahead of the game but you are pushing back new boundaries here.
Thanks! That's the idea behind this series
Thx for showing.
This is exactly what I was looking for ! Thanks you so much for the tutorial. I always though it was a very hard job to get an energetic sword, but you made it very simple !
Happy to help!
Well done! Looks AWESOME!
Picked up that dry brush set. Excellent recommendation
They are amazing
Bought a drybrush set to support you and it is really nice. thanks for sharing this technique its fairly easy and gives good results for me
Really happy you like the brushes! Thanks for the kind words
Gonna try this on some necron hyperphase blades, looks awesome.
Thanks
So fun fact, I’m by far, much better at dry brushing than I am glazing. Just tried this on a sprue and yup, first time I got a NMM that actually looks correct.
Thanks for this!!!
Outstanding tutorial, Juan!
Gracias
I’ve finally found an easier solution to painting power weapons without making them look crappy. Thanks for the video, I’ve been practicing all day!!
YEAH!
Very nice will give this a try on my Bladeguard, thanks
Perfect!
Thanks again Juan !!
You sir are a genius
I KNOW
awesome Tut! i drybrushed the whole Armor of RamMan from the Masters of the Universe Battleground Set and it works pretty well!
Awesome!
Wow. Ok I have been looking for a tutorial like this. Power swords have been my biggest failing.
Thank you for putting this out.
Voy a pintar varias espadas con este tutorial. Muchas gracias
Gracias

I love these power weapon paint guides 🎉
Thanks
Beautiful work, will need to give this a try when I finally get around to doing my Dark Angels terminators, those blades need to shine!
Indeed!
I take it you can do this with Necrons...just need to figure out the colors (as well as get the tape and brushes).
I might do a video for necrons using this technique
Super vidéo 👍😀
Suggestion : how to paint the Skavens ?
Thank you😊
Not going to be soon as my Skaventide box is lost in transit
I have never been able to make a good looking power sword, but damn I'm going to try this out
Please do!
Love your work and pedagogy
Thanks
Haha - I love the genuine shock at how good it looked when you took the tape off - priceless!!
There are things you can't fake. That's why I record my Audio while I'm painting
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Definitely the highlight of my day - excuse the pun

very smart. I should try it next time, instead of my classic Eavy Metal TMM + fun effects habits.
It's so much fun

Genial!
Awesome - as always - great how it comes togther and you have to have confidence
Thanks
I want to try this with red. I actually used a kind of sloppy pseudo nmm with a green contrast paint and it had a cool power glow effect
Nice
Awesome tutorial! 🥇
Thanks
this is really useful thank you
Happy to help!
More great tutorials! Awesome work!
Thanks
Your videos are fantastic, thank you so much for the effort!
Thanks
Thank you for your great tutorials
Thanks for watching!
Could you do something similar for guardian spears? I simply cannot get a good look with then and would be interested to see what you do
Do a simple transition on the blade portion and leave the flat dark
Muchas gracias Juan por este pedazo de Vídeo !!! Queda Genial esa Espada 🗡️, qué opinas, se podría hacer igual con pincel seco pero un NMM?
Muchas gracias y un saludo !
Por supuesto, solo usa una de mis recetas de NMM
Niiice. Might as well call this a NMM drybrushing tutorial as well!
For sure, it's essentially the same
Juan, esta serie de zero skill la considero una de las mejores aportaciones a la humanidad hechas desde UA-cam. De veras, gracias por estos vídeos :D
Un placer
Qué guapo el efecto NMM sólo con pincel seco!
Tengo que pintar mi nuevo Kill Team de Yaegir y creo que lo voy a intentar con el de los cuchillos
Dale caña
Awesome tutorial!!
Thanks
great vid. i will def give this a try
Thanks
What sorcery is this! This looks amazing! Do you think those brushes help with the DB smoothness? Great video Juan 👏
Oh for sure the brushes help. The hair is very soft and makes for a smoother result.
This is incredible!
Thanks

I’ve been stuck on painting a Samurai’s sword, will use your technique, just need to work out what colours to use.
Any suggestions?
Check my nmm guides and use those
fantastic video as always. brilliant effect and a satisfying masking tape reveal
It was amazing, I was nursing a semi the whole time
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures sim[le things get us all. Satisfaction highs

I wash and dry them personally
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Thanks!
This is gonna be good !!
Thanks mate
Epic work, I wonder if I can adapt it slightly to use 1mm pinstripe tape for different effects.
Inspirational :)
You most definitely can!
Great !!
could you do a eavy contrast video series for each of the main house gangs in necromunda?
Sadly I don't think so. I have plenty of things to do first
Love the ‘innit’ haha! Now we know where you learned your great English! ❤
Lol
Just so you know it was Weston-Super-Mare funny enough
Sick!
Nice!
