Grimdark Newsh Painting Warhammer 40K Arco-Flagellants

On the Workbench - Grimdark Newsh Gets All Over My Arco-Flagellants
This time I explore the Zorn Palette popularized in 40K by artist John Blanche, and I use three different techniques to achieve the same thing.

I really love the game plan breakdown at the beginning!
Subbed!

[@BombshellMiniatures]

Awesome, thank you! I will try to keep that format for future videos.

I saw you kept referencing the Zorn pallette without using the standard black - ochre - vermillion - white. I recently painted some Repentia and an Eightbound using just the four colors; I highly recommend playing with it. The skin tone variations and that red "pop" that Blanche does on many of his memorable works just really shows when you limit yourself to those four colors. It's an amazing exercise I think every painter should try on a group of minis once, it upped my skill level on painting greatly.

[@BombshellMiniatures]

I absolutely agree. These three were more of an experiment with technique that I wanted to try first. But I have a 10-flagellant unit that I want to use the Zorn palette on with just the four colors. I will probably make a video for that one too.

[@Lanessar8008]

@@BombshellMiniatures Love to see that! I think mini painters would be shocked at how simple art lessons with light, color mixing, textures and etc. really would improve their end product just from attempting. I started with oils on canvas, and applying the stuff from my art training to minis has been quite eye opening.

[@BombshellMiniatures]

@@Lanessar8008 That's pretty much my art journey too. Started in 2D back in the 70s and just applied what I learned from that.

Nice paint work. I really enjoyed this video.

[@BombshellMiniatures]

Thanks! I'm still trying to get used to painting on camera. :D

[@briankito1655]

So grim, much dark.
Nice painting stuff you got going on there! I've played with oils and oil washes a bit lately. Lately being a year or two ago when I painted last.
Might be nice to see the wife's take on some grim dark minis. As I remember, Vicky is a pretty good painter too ;)

[@BombshellMiniatures]

Hopefully you can get a chance to pick up a brush again. I've been having a lot of fun and it's been great for my mental health.

[@goforitpainting]

I look forward to try this Medium. 👍

[@BombshellMiniatures]

It's pretty cool. I'd like to work with it a little more and try some different techniques..

[@TheCollin19]

Great video

[@BombshellMiniatures]

It was very interesting to see these all used together. It is something i wish i had done, or had to to at the least. Thank you
I wojder what that red with streaking grime splattered woild look like? Dried blood layer, etc

[@BombshellMiniatures]

Thanks! It was a fun experiment. Hopefully it was informative.

[@itsio7188]

DONT bother with the proacryl primer. Im a HUGE fan of their paints, but stick with the stynalrez. Its proven to be 90% stronger than pro's white primer. Im tempted to throw my bottle away. But i figure i could find something to do with it eventually.

[@BombshellMiniatures]

Good to know! I was going to order a bottle of the ProAcryl black primer just to test it out.

[@dumbcow1]

I second this. I love every product Monument has put out....except their primers. They just don't have the grip I expect of a primer.
Love the satin , almost matte finish it has...just poor adhesion, which is a primers job.
I hope they reformulate. Because it's just not up to snuff. Stynlrez is my go to airbrush acrylic primer.

[@darksandman66]

You removed to much of the streaking grime. When you said you were pushing it around instead of removing it, that's what you should be doing. You looked like you were cleaning the model. That's not the objective. You said your results were meh. Try to leave a blend of it back into the shadows of the model.

[@BombshellMiniatures]

Good to know! I will try that next time. Thanks for the tip.
