No matter what range of miniatures you are painting, whether its for Warhammer 40,000, Age of Sigmar, Old World, Mordheim, Star Wars, Fallout, Starcraft, Conquest and so on, chances are you are going to be painting metals. In this tutorial, I show you a different way of painting metals...TRUE METALLIC METALS! This is how I approach this technique to get a bit more contrast whilst keeping that beautiful shine.

Let us know in the comments below if you have a different way of painting metals.
We hope you enjoy this one!

Cheers!
Dunc, Rog & the DRPA crew!
