Learn the FUNDAMENTALS of the Grimdark Miniature Painting Style! PART TWO

Howdy Folks!

The second part of my Grimdark Painting Fundamentals Series is another introduction video where I will be discussing the basics of the reductive technique that I heavily use in my version of the Grimdark painting style. The main topic in this video will be on the usage of Acrylic Inks/Washes and Enamel Products. (mostly acrylics)

Really opened my eyes to what is possible in painting. Gotten very tired of the 'Eavy metal look most painters go for. This is some next level stuff in terms of getting the right (in my opinion) atmosphere for the grim dark setting of 40k.
Thank you

That plasticard looks like a nine inch nails album cover. Absolutely fantastic!!!

[khadorstrong]

Also, an important note when you're doing that airbrushing with enamels MAKE SURE YOU'RE WEARING A MASK!!!

[sabarslax]

Thats the coolest piece of styrene i ever saw !!!

[Tinweasel]

It's nice to see someone else using products and techniques commonly used by the "armor" community with tabletop gaming miniatures! I've been using weathering pigments, oil/enamel washes, etc. for years - I'm surprised more people haven't caught onto using them!

[jorthardon]

I really really really love the way you approaching painting models. Love the reality in colouring, the grim and dark finish of the models.

[jurriaandejongh]

Thanks for sharing.. I was starting in awe at that tester.. Glorious grimy textures!

[Fear]

Would LOVE to see any of these in your unique style:
The Night Haunter
A larger nid
Any range's tank
A bust of some kind
One if the bigger necron models
One of the forgeworld primarchs

[ashclayton]

Top 5 models id love to see your version of:


Tau ghostkeel
Dark eldar raider/ ravager
Literally any large tyranid creature
Any necromunda gang (but Escher would be cool)
Lizardmen carnosaur

[Hierojin]

Thank you for opening a whole new range of paints to me. :)
I would like to see something shiny like a Grey Knight of some sort. Getting the grim dark paint on without overdoing it to retain the shinyness and the "knightly style" of the silver armour and the model.
Looking forward to the next vid.

[MadMonkeyMonkInc]

I really am thinking about switching to this style...so delicious.

[niklashvid]

Mortarion; Plagueburst Crawler; Myphitic Blight Hauler og a Word Bearer scheme🤘🏻

Rubric Marines.... I even can't imagine how it looks like in grimdark

[salimosman]

Amazing skills pulled off with ease...truly the master of your craft...🙌

[dragon]

I love the grim look been doing it for my Spac marines for a while. I hope to take it to the next level with help from your series ...thank you for sharing this

[longmeaderulez]

Excellent video. I have used some of these tools and avoided others, but nice to see them all used in one video to compare and contrast. Going to have to do some experimenting of my own.

[credoimperialis]

really educative and well explained. Thanks!

[elskanko]

Hey wow thanks for posting these up. I am returning to the hobby after a 22 year hiatus but am quite experienced in other art forms. While I wont be following you step by step this was incredibly inspiring and wow you know your business sir. That dirty washed out watercolour approach is precisely what I was looking for.

[leejaify]

Incredible. I've never heard of anyone backing out an acrylic wash with alcohol. Can't wait to try it.
