Don't promote vaping... Kids are dying due to poor vape laws... Local teenager lungs collapsed due to vaping.
It’s not a Vape and has zero nicotine, instead of gaslighting do a quick google search 🤦🏼♂️.

@@aaronclark9386 You need to google gaslighting mate. It could still be conceived as vaping. Clearly from multiple comments that seem to be the perception.
@@benmiles00 I appreciate that it’s “their perception” but it’s not the truth. Unfortunately it is now commonplace to attack or amend facts to placate individuals that are too lazy or ignorant to see past their own alternative facts that contribute to a “personal reality” that isn’t based on facts. So…stop trying to gaslight, and have fun in your hobby journey.
Thanks so much!! I greatly appreciate you checking out Villainy Ink. 🎉 The Model looks awesome!
Love your channel! Awesome to see you get a shout out.
@@laughingman4570 thank you!! 😊
In regards to the dirty down rust and vertigris, i have found that if you let them sit for to long in the bottle, a realy thick layer at the bottom of the bottle forms, that has all the "reacting" stuff in it, and in order to get it working again, you have to REALY stir the stuff with a stick to get it working again. sometomes the agitator ball evan gets stuck in the grime at the bottom.
Vortex mixer?
WAIT YOU WATCH NINJON?!
I've been following you for years! How exciting!
Then buy a good mini vortex mixer
I've found that warming the bottle up a bit (not in a microwave or anything like that lol) under my armpit or behind my knee for 5-10mins before use and then mixing does the trick nicely
if you had of put a ultra-marine blue filter before the basecoat it would have been perfect. It still looks like iron wolf as is. I know you're trying to reduce steps and streamline; but having the correct saturation of colour is just as important.
Yea he probably should've just pretended it wasnt an ultramarine from the get go. Doesnt quite fit right
Yeah, that blue looks anemic.
Appreciate you still doing high production value painting tutorials that focus on technique rather than clickbait and entertainment.
Grimdark painting is clickbait.
Captain here - the music in the background is Powerhouse1984 as usual in John's videos performed by Lupus Nocte.
If you held a gun to my head and asked me what chapter he was I would still say space wolf
I clicked the video because I'm a SW player and wanted to see how he painted a SW
I personally like Trovarion's grim dark marines better as it looks more like battle damage. Your method looks more like he's been slogging through mud or fighting in melee with nurglings. It's good to have different options though or maybe even combine different methods to get the grim dark effect you prefer.
I may be wrong, but I think trovarion's take way more than an hour and a half to be painted
You nailed the environmental damage. That color and weathering is spot on for "Ford Blue" that's been derelict in a pasture for 60 years.
ha that's accurate.
I love those asylum inmates over at grimdark compendium so so much...
Thank you for all of your content. I've been procrastinating for years to get into this hobby, and I've finally started delving deep into the lore and painting of Warhammer 40K. I appreciate your videos, which have helped guide me in the right direction on how to create these masterpieces.
Take your ripped sponge and shove it in a brush tip protector plastic tube. Really effective for neat, accurate, controlled sponging.
I thought this comment was going in a completely different direction when I started reading it.
Very nice tutorial, since i use enamels and oil based washes regulary id like to add something, Enamel and white spirit fumes a very unhealthy (villany inks are supposed to be less toxic cause of a different formula), use it in well ventilated areas, white spirits will fuck up your natural brushes, id advise to use syntethic brushes for those in the long run...also if you go for the reduction technique ( remove enamles with white spirits) you should use a clearcoat on your mini before you use enamels, cause if you "scrub" to hard some acrylic colors or speedpaints might reactivate and get "washed" off the model
clearcoat as in varnish right? I've been trying that but matt varnish didnt manage to protect the acrylics fully and glossy varnish stays glossy even if I put matt over it at the end, so I'm struggling a bit atm...
@@TheCountSummon i normally use the satin varnish from army painter, its not that glossy and after you use enamels (i use them all over like the mini is dipped in, then reduce with a sponge and soft dipping) so there is absolutely no shine becaue ethe enamles are as matte as can be, what do you use for removing the enamels? I made bad experiences with qtips since the are to hard
Makeup sponges is really nice especially over larger surfaces. Less hard than qtips which makes scratching the underlying paint harder.
Wonderful tutorial on the use of Villiany Ink. They are great products and a great company. Can't wait for the wave 2 colors. Thanks again.
I love painting in grim dark with oils. As a working adult, I find that I don't have the time to flex the hobby muscles consistently. A painting style that encourages messier highlights and a process that I can stop and start again is great !!
If I'm not mistaken, Goon's Grime was designed to color match the old Streaking Grime recipe from AK that was super popular before they changed the formula. I also think Coelia Green and Carrion Crimson are close matches to Coelia Greenshade and Carroburg Crimson washes from GW. Zatcaskagoon would often use those as filters through the airbrush and I think he wanted to make enamel versions for them.
Correct!! Thanks!
Very nice Ninjon, just DRILL out the gun barrels! 😁
just started getting back to oil/enamel after many bad experiences as a kid with testors paints, and it's been a serious level up and an incredible compliment to acrylics
Fantastic video
I always appreciate the work that goes into these tutorials. Talking about your process and highlighting the steps to make them easy to follow. You're damned good at your craft! Having said that, I hate all that rust. Orks and Death Guard? Rust all the way! Necrons? Could work. Seeing rust on a Space Marine? Madness. Ah well. Art is subjective and the tutorial has to show all the possibilities available to us. Looking forward to the next video.
Jon "Airbrush Priming Is Terrible" Ninas once again priming with his airbrush 😂
You don't airbrush prime because it's good, you airbrush prime because you're too lazy to go outside.
@@Hudston what's a better alternative? Spray cans? I've been using Army Painter cans but they speckle so much, at least the white does (no issues with black)
@@PeterResponsible You're going to have a hard time with white primer regardless of what brand you use; at microscopic level the white pigment molecules are larger than other colors so it's really hard to avoid speckling. I'd recommend getting a light gray primer. I use a Vallejo rattle can but I haven't heard anything bad about Citadel's grey seer or even an off-white like Wraithbone.
Love it - amazing end result. Got me thinking I might do this for my new fists
I think it would look phenomenal on Imperial Fist yellow. Go for it.
I physically cannot contain it. It’s too light for my brain to believe it’s an ultramarine. Even with very heavy lighting in mind.
Beautifully done thanks for sharing.
I've learned more from watching your brushwork than most channels with tutorials. Thanks!
Oh damn!! I have been dying to see these enamels at work!! Thank you for another great video
Love your work mate I learn so much after watching your videos
looks great! I think the one thing that would help it read as Ultramarine would be the gold shoulder pads but I like the desaturated look
For an hour and a half of painting that is fantastic!
Just the sort of video I tune in for - thanks for getting this one out
Absolutely loved the effect, speed and intro to enamel grimdark / pin wash. Thank you.
Love ya Jon! Keep up the amazing work!
This my favorite painting video you have done; so far.
Grimdark is my jam! Great video. Going to take this into my own painting. Thanks!
I'm sure I'm not the first to say it but you gotta get some makeup sponges for the removal step of enamel or oil washes. You can get some more interesting and sharp edged contact points and the sponges don't run the risk of leaving stray fibers behind that you need to clean up. They're just as cheap as cotton swabs and very satisfying to use.
That is one of the best space marines I've ever seen. Great work! I have the full set of villainy ink enamels. They work really well with AK interactive matte effect thinner and disposable eye shadow applicators. This is my new favourite space marine tutorial. Thanks for sharing!!
I am 100% going to try this with my charcaradons! The Villany ink also looks awesome!
Thanks Jon! Never painted a space marine and probably never will, but I definitely want to integrate a lot of your techniques into my slaves to darkness army
Absolutely epic
Looks great!
Already been doing this thanks to trovarion. I really dislike how people assume this is low effort and skill though. It can be taken very high up and imo looks way better than the clean look. I dont use any of the streaking grime or oils. I paint scratches, rust and everything else with acrylics, i prime dark brown and then add lighter brown's to edges and places where dirt/rust would build, then i paint my army colour ( black with blue mixed in for bt )
okay guy
Glad to see your pig guy with a sword in the display case, it’s my favorite model I’ve ever seen you paint, and have revisited that video countless times.
looks great!
Some how I got off painting TH-cam, it’s good to be back!
I would love to see what you can do with AK's RC lacquers instead of water acrylics. As someone with a fraction of your talent, I'm getting the best looking minis I've ever painted. Being able to feather in lacquer thinner to get perfectly smooth wet blends with lacquers just feels good man. I just need AK to release a bunch of sci-fi/fantasy colors instead of endless variety of WW2 camo tones.
I love that model. It really does feel like a grim dark space marine.
Gorgeous model, beautifully painted, but that's a space wolf. The grimey look lends itself better to them anyway, since while I agree I can't imagine the Space Wolves bringing an elite cadre of combat armor polishers and paint touch up servitors with them on campaign, I absolutely CAN imagine the ultramarines doing that, since the Codex Astartes demands proper identifying marks and badging.
I always imagine the differences in the combat ethos of the chapters, and the 'timing' of the painting in the battle controls the dirtyness. My marines would never dream of entering a battle without proper paintwork!
Chemical warfare minipainting galore!
I love the outcome ,Jon
Keep up tge great work
Is "grimdark" just a model with battle damage and dirt? I see the videos from Grimdark Compendium and those make sense to me that they are called grimdark because he adds bits and stuff to make the minis look disturbed and creepy. But I see so many youtubers using that term and I don't see where the difference between their "grimdark" and a normal paint style that just uses more weathering lies.
It always amazes me how someone can paint something like this in an hour or two. It usually takes me an entire day or more just to paint something to a very basic gw style parade ready.
Heck yeah! Those Villany Inks have been on my wishlist for a few weeks now. Waiting for payday to get a few and try them out on some Tyranids! Thanks for showing off the techniques! :)
Holy schmoly I would pay good money to see some kingdom death survivors painted in this style!
Due to building a model railway before warhammer I have only ever painted with enamels and have only just started using acrylics for occasional details. Death Guard painted with only enamels looks great!
Nice job 👍. I too just switched over to using PA Satin Black for my base rims too.
Great tutorial
Slapchop with enamel washes = love
Great video, lots of ideas for my new scout squad kill team.
Looks good-- still a little too Space Wolf, but still a lot to learn from the pain job.
It's pretty cool
Nice! Love the mini! I'll have to give Villainy Ink a try, I think.
Always enjoy the grim dark style especially with nurgle models
TTB (Time To Blanche) : 45 seconds. Respectable. Thanks for the videos!
Would love a follow up to this when the skaven arrive - I dont think there's a more perfect army to paint grimdark in all of warhammer.
I think this looks amazing but I think the blue needs a bit more saturation although I understand the reasoning behind using less.
That's a sick paintjob for that amount of time.
Nice video. good paint job and neat effects. My only quibble is that I think his armor still reads more space wolf grey then ultra marine blue. I would go a shade or two darker on the initial base coats. Still looks great and i would be very happy with an army of them.
I have a question about paint storage.
I've recently come back to the hobby after a 15 year hiatus, and I'm just rebuilding my paint collection.
My question is this: At what temperature can i safely store my acrylic paints, how about enamels for washes?
I live in a desert, where temps can regularly hit 115F in the summer, and my painting setup is in my uncooled garage. Is it safe to keep my paints there? or should I keep them inside when not in use?
How hot is too hot?
I just got a case set of 80 Vallejo Mecha colours (Airbrush Colours). I got an amazing deal on them during the mid year sales. I ended up paying $210 AU (which is about $139 US). That was a 40% off saving. The paints look great and even though they’re marketed as airbrush colours there’s no reason why you can’t use them with a brush. In fact they work great with a brush as there is little need to thin down your paints when you’re using them. Can’t wait to put them to use.
Not gonna lie, I sprayed my coffee when you flashed up the Disneyfied primarchs. 😂
I have a fully assembled space wolves army that's been sitting in drawers for over a year. I've tried various test models but nothing has ever stuck quite right... I think I might finally have decided on a direction for the paint. Always loved this look but forgot just how easy it was to actually do. I use AK grimes for terrain so.... yeah. Here we go.
@Ninjon Just wait till you use the coelia green on a dead flesh effect...amazing. Very happy to see @grimdarkcompendium getting some love.
Man you are a sick painter...90 minutes to do that I couldn't do it in 8 hours
awesome.
base rims look so good with Golden SoFlat black and it comes in a much bigger container, so it really lasts.
"It almost feels like Disney bought out Games Workshop."
JEEBUS MALONE ON A POGO STICK, WHY ARE YOU GIVING THEM IDEAS?!
In other news: I am always in awe (and a little - okay a lot - jealous) of your painting results, regardless of the model, technique, theme, or style.
nice and gritty.
I would still go with a deeper blue for an ultramarine even in grimdark. Would deffo use this recipe for a lighter marine though, like a space wolf.
Jesus, doing a mini like this in 1 hour and a half is insane. It probably would take me a month or something.
Id love to see you do a howling Griffon in that style
Am I the only one who dances in place during the painting montage moments?
Looks more like a rainbow warrior imo. For an ultramarine id probably go the full zorn pallet and use the bluish black, and hightlight up with white a bit. Still great model tho
Someday I hope to paint even half as well as you do Ninjon.
I use that exact term about most models, right off the factory floor.
I feel only Ultramarines and maybe some Eldar should be shiny and clean. Everything else, especially human infantry, should be dirty and worn. Bugs and daemons, dirty and worn. A veteran unit might be clean, or cleaner, but their items and clothes should be well used and worn.
I did that with my Goliath gang for Necromunda. The Juves have deep color on their clothes, since they just joined and have new clothes, and their weapons are old and worn. They got the hand me downs and stuff sitting around. The leader's clothes are worn and lighter in color, but their weapons are shinier and well kept, well-polished and sharpened.
I just picked up Pro Acryl's Satin Black to do base rims to see if I could replace Abaddon Black. I'm glad you gave it your vote of confidence!
It seems similar weathering effects could be made with Pro Acryl “Newsh” medium by working and removing mixtures with acrylic paint. I’m hesitant to use enamel and spirits due to their toxicity
Awesome work! Love to see Villainy Ink get some coverage!
Great vid
Hey Jon, it seems, that Steamforged just acquired Warmachine and the p3 paints rights (or sth like that). It seems, like they want to re-release the P3 paints. Maybe, if you like, just contact them and let us hear, what they planing to do. P3 in a bigger range and in droppers is probably sth, we all want to see.
Great video.
Are enamel better than oils? If so, why?
Thank you!
The verdigris makes a space marine look like undersea Rip Van Winkle.
The bolter barrel in the mouth of that cartoon mouse. Love it.
I'm really loving the Villainy Inks, but I got a really bad reaction when I tried to varnish a mini too soon. So give them plenty of time to dry prior to adding a varnish (was the Army Painter Matte varnish, although i'm assuming the reaction may be more wide spread).
Varnishing mine with Vallejo Matt varnish messed up the paintjob in such a horrible way that I had to clean the model in mineral spirits and start over. Feels like the product is made for dioramas and not minaiture wargaming/board games that you are supposed to actually use and touch....
Fantastic stream!!!
As an automotive model builder I have a ton of enamels. In fact, I don't use acrylic metallics on my minis. I only use enamel and lacquer based metallics. I have all the paint so it is time to get to it
I dont really like Grimdark Paintjobs, but I can understand why people like them. I much prefer the grimdark paintings and art that we find in codexes and novels.
Crazy how fast you made a good looking mini.
John I would really love a tutorial on speed painting skavens. :D
Dope
Trovarian type paint job
This was a really cool technique. How do the enamels differ from an oil wash?
Awesome Tutorial... now question: how would one pull off a similar effect if they wanted to have their Army (imperial guard) in full Black Armor with any fabric being dark grey.
