Painting Magneto & Storm – Marvel United Miniatures with Lotus Thalia

Description provided by Lotus Thalia on YouTube:

In this Marvel United X-Men miniature painting video, I paint two legendary mutants: Magneto and Storm. I begin with Magneto over a German Field Grey primer. For his cape, I create a dark red-purple airbrush blend using Nocturnal Red and purple. Glory Red defines his helmet and inner costume, while Chainmail Silver adds contrast to the metallic armor details. I finish the miniature with controlled drybrushed highlights. Next, I paint Storm over a Bone White primer. Off White defines her iconic hair and the smoke effect beneath her, while Black Lotus creates a deep, dramatic cape. I use Bronze Skin and Pale Flesh for her face, a yellow marker for the eyebrow details, Gold for the cape tips, and a grey wash to add depth to her white hair. The two miniatures use very different color palettes: Magneto combines dark red, purple, and silver, while Storm brings together black, white, gold, and natural skin tones. Which finished Marvel United miniature is your favorite: Magneto or Storm? Let me know in the comments! All miniatures and hobby materials shown in this video are personally owned by me. The painting, filming, narration, editing, and final presentation were created by me. 🎨 PAINTS USED Magneto: • German Field Grey Primer • Nocturnal Red • Purple • Glory Red • Chainmail Silver • Drybrushed Highlights Storm: • Bone White Primer • Off White • Black Lotus • Bronze Skin • Pale Flesh • Yellow Marker • Gold • Grey Wash ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – Introduction 00:10 – Magneto: German Field Grey Primer 00:20 – Nocturnal Red and Purple Airbrushed Cape 00:50 – Glory Red Helmet and Inner Costume 04:13 – Chainmail Silver Armor Details 08:45 – Drybrushed Highlights 10:48 – Storm: Bone White Primer 10:58 – Off White Hair and Smoke Effect 11:47 – Black Lotus Cape 13:45 – Bronze Skin and Pale Flesh Highlights 14:35 – Yellow Eyebrow Details 16:08 – Gold Cape Details 19:05 – Grey Wash on the Hair 20:21 – Final Showcase If you enjoy Marvel United, X-Men miniatures, board game painting, and beginner-friendly miniature painting videos, please like the video and subscribe to Lotus Thalia for more personally painted miniature projects. #MarvelUnited #Magneto #Storm ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Welcome to Lotus Thalia — your source for Warhammer painting, miniature painting tutorials, board game miniatures, and 3D-printed terrain builds.
