Hey man, glad the video was helpful. Hope that you and your family are keeping safe

Jason Fahy Thanks you! I am itching to get more done!

Great stuff, cheers!

Good stuff, give it a bash!

Dimos Xylas Thank you for the great comment! :D

Thanks dude! And thank you for sharing mate, it is always very much appreciated.

Thanks for watching buddy, and thanks for the support. It means allot man.

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks Kris! I am trying a new style of doing the tutes now, with the camera in front of me. You are right, I should have used another light and diffused it. I will correct this for the next one. Do you think that style is good? With doing the normal speed theory and talking at the start, followed by 3x speed with a voice over later? Oh, and painting with the camera in front is so darn awkward - trying to paint to a half-decent standard is a real challenge!

Colour of the Gods I did really like the theory segment in the beginning. If you continue to do one (and you should), maybe go over the theory that specifically relates to what will be shown in the tutorial. What I mean by that is your diagram could have shown how you are planning the highlights on the aquila as well. Rather than talking about how NMM works on a curve show how you apply that particular knowledge to the wings. Something like that... ;) Overall a real good vid. I like the sped up moments, but edit out the dead spaces. Also staying in frame. I only noticed it a couple of times but it's no biggy... And Yes painting for the camera is a pain.

Dude, you are a star. I owe you a hug. And I would very much like to have a picture with you... hitting Owen. Lol!

Beautifully done tutorial, thank you very much for taking the time to share with the community. You've inspired me to give this technique a go.

Thanks man, you humble me.

Adeptus Ignika Thank you Adeptus!

Ian Westbury You have given me a great idea right there - painting photo-realistic metal on miniatures. Very very rare to see it done, but it can look great! Thanks for watching and take care!

Thanks dude!

Thanks for watching dude!

rhysiieboii Please post up some pictures of your work to the COG Facebook page - would love to see your work!

Thanks man, I am glad you enjoyed watching it! :)

you have really good Vids man!

I'm just not sure I want to paint my Khorne Lord of Skulls with nmm lol. Maybe my juggernaut Herald though! Why can you not walk. Please don't tell me polyneuropathy, I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. If I had any enemies :-)

No, I do not have polyneuropathy, but I do have neuropathic pain in my right foot due to nerve damage from cold. I can't walk due to being injured in the military, so I have ended up with osteochondritis dessicans in my right femoral medial condyle, slightly posteriorly. It is pretty darn painful, and prevents me from walking. Next step is to potentially have a partial knee replacement, but this is not a good think at age 27.

Ouch my wife just had total knee replacement back in late Sept. At age 46 it is young, 27 is WAY young. With a one year recovery though everyone I've spoken with says it's miraculous. Several of her family members needed it and so they support her tremendously. Best of luck my man. I know for me personally, painting/modeling is a good distraction from the pain. I hope it is for you as well.

It certainly is! And so are very strong painkillers! Lol! Take care dude!

Thanks James!

Ferran Grau Leal Hi Ferran! So the skin test just means that you put a little bit on your skin and if it runs into the recesses and folds in your skin then the consistency is about right. Don't use water for GW paints - it gives the paint a bad quality and is not great to work with. I would recommend the medium that GW sell, called Lahmian Medium - as this is the stuff the paints already have in them to thin it down. With Vallejo, then use water - as Lahmian Medium will screw up Vallejo paints.

Colour of the Gods the lahmian medium really changed the dilution and consistency of GW paints. As you said, vallejo are well diluted with just water, but I wanted to try their own vallejo glaze medium and the results I am getting with this medium are good enough for both vallejo and GW paints, I think even better than with lahmiam medium (give it a try if you hadn't yet). I am getting closer to a nmm gold (but more yellowish in my case, since I am paiting high elves) and mostly thanks to you. Cheers!

Oh gosh, there's a question. I don't actually know off the top of my head, I'd need to have a look for you. The problem is the newer colours don't match up 100% and there's slight variation. I would usually just eyeball it and pick a colour that I think would work.

I think it's pretty accurate terminology.

Mark Sanford Hmmm, you know what - the answer to that would probably make a good video actually, so I will add it to the list. Thanks!

awesome!!! you made it! love your work!

Sure, I don't see why not. Give it a try, just use it very sparingly and specifically at the start, maybe watered down slightly just to see the effect.

mike hunt When I thin down GW paints I use their Lahmian Medium. Stockpile it - it's valuable ;) With the Vallejo paints I just use water, as the medium from GW makes the paint go horrible.

Thanks for the tips, I only use GW paint because I have to match my old paint schemes, but I'll be picking some up as soon as possible.

Hmmm, look, any brown will do really as long as you get the tone you want roughly right. Just play around with a few test cases until you find one that you like. Ultimately, its going from black to white with a colour in the middle, this case brown.
