How to Paint a Grimdark Dreadnought | Sons of Horus | Warhammer

In today’s video I will be painting a Contemptor Dreadnought in Sons of Horus colors, but instead of a clean factory paintjob I will make him look like he has seen some action with paint chipping off the armor, and corrosion and the environment leaving their marks. A veteran who has fought a thousand battles for the Warmaster and even in death he still serves!

I believe on a previous video I suggested you paint a contemptor…oh well it’s my favourite kit of all time so I hope you had fun!

Just want to say I absolutely love how this turned out, you should paint some cataphractii or a land raider proteus

Hey guys! What methods do you use to weather your models? Do you have some cool tips and tricks to share?

Massive fan of your channel and IG. One of my favourite painters and really helped me try new things sir so thank you. One question I do have though….i always see that Wraithknight in the back and I love the colour. Will you do a video on how you painted that or achieved the colour. Thank you for sharing your work 🙏

This is the first time I’ve heard of water mixable oil paints. How do they work?

The way you pronounce varnish is wrong. I'm not sure how to explain it because i imagine saying it's not wurnish won't help! Maybe check out another video of varnishing to hear.

You should apply the decals before the oil paints so they get dirtied at the same time as everything else.
