- Today it's the turn of the White Scars to get the Grimdark treatment! In this video I show my method for painting some nice grim and gritty white armour, no brilliant bright whites here!
White armour is definitely one of the toughest things to paint in the grimdark style but with the right techniques you can definitely capture that Grimdark feel.

So then guys....... Who can guess what chapter I am going to be grimdarking next?
You should do Grim dark Candy (Horus Heresy Forge World metallic paint scheme) Night Lords!
@@willnox1 Oh wow, Night Lords is a great call! The Candy would make it tougher but it's definitely do-able!
Space Wolves , maybe ?
@@loupiscanis9449 Funny you should say that ;) May be waiting for some bits to arrive!
@@SprayBlackStudios Make it happen!
I owe you the world for introducing me to oil paints and streaking grime. Titanium white, that black oil wash, and streaking grim are the sole reason why my white scars force actually looks battle worn, and good.
I'm glad to hear this bud! They really are a total gamechanger for me. I'd love to see those White Scars!
Finally found it. Now my hundreds of white scars will have a kickass color scheme.
Good to hear! All minis deserve a kickass scheme! Feel free to tag me on facebook or social media when you paint them, would love to see!
@@SprayBlackStudios Hey bud, quick question. Does Windsor's titanium white work as well?
Wow, this looks amazing! Great job dude!
Thanks bud! Gotta break out of this style today though....
What a cracking video. This looks really good. Well done man 😀
Thanks bud!
Nice usage of the The Vicar of Dibly clip for the puddle
Haha thankyou!
This helped me with my apothicary.
I don't plan on making White Scars, but I have been considering making a Space Marine army with a white scheme (Excoriators).
When I get around to making them I think i'll use this scheme.
I'm glad it helped! The Excoriators would be a great use for this technique!
Amazing work! Grim dark style nailed! 🔥
Thanks Gary!
You SoaB! You nailed it! Fantastic looking mini!
Thanks bud!
Truly beautiful result!
thankyou!
Really brilliant work on this, my brother! As a huge White Scars fan, I honestly feel like you positively nailed this!
Honestly, if I hadn't already painted 3000+ points for my army, I'd want to emulate this, for sure! Maybe I'll do it on a single Scar just to give it a go!
Keep up the badassery, my brother!!!

Thanks bud! I was hoping that you'd enjoy this..... I know you love your White Scars!
I'd love to see you give it a shot, even if it is just one model!
Just soo some grime on the army you know it makes sense
Great results dude, love that end product
Thanks bud, I am really happy with how it came out! Thankyou for the share also.
I’d recommend applying the oilwash/streaking grime after painting all ground colors, makes it easier to give highlights after that
Great scheme and thanks for the tutorial! Oil paints seem like a very quick way to get a good looking miniature.
Thankyou! Oil paints really are amazing, by no means an essential but they do give a look that's just so hard to replicate.
Nice video dude, the wonders of painting white
Thanks bud! Normally I hate painting white but I really enjoyed this one.....
@@SprayBlackStudios still waiting for your clean bright version but it doesn't have quite the same ring to it as grim dark
@@elstonation haha definitely not quite the same ring to it! I also feel like it would be much tougher too! 😂
This is really good!!! Thanks heaps :) keep up the good work
Glad you enjoyed it! 👍
absolutely stunning work mate! Keep it up!
Thanks buddy!
Great tutorial, maybe I'll try this for some new genestealer cult models, that faction is perfect for going all in with weathering.
Great vid. Could you basecoat all the colours, including leathers and reds etc before the oil wash?
You make this look easy. What a great tutorial!!! Subscribed
Thanks bud! It's not me making it look easy, it's genuinely not that difficult. Just gotta make the paint do all the hard work for you!
Great job again !
Thanks bud!
Nice and concise video. Thanks!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
10:49 did you add pigments to the model and if so which ones? Great tutorial I’m using this white technique for my sons of the Phoenix
Really informative and easy to watch, thank You for this video.
Thanks for watching!
I LOVE THIS SERIES! Can you do one for Dark Angels pleaaaaaaseee? Nothing screams 'edge' like Dark Angels in the grimdark way.
Thankyou! I can guarantee that the Dark Angels will feature in this series.... I just need the right model for it!
@@SprayBlackStudios Honestly I'd love to see how you'd do Lazarus. I love that model but the 'regular' paintjob is so bright and knightly. I'd love to see how you'd do the armor but also that tabard in a bit of a worn and grimy way!
@@oscarsaris3183 I was planning a kitbash but Lazarus definitely could be interesting. The model itself is very knightly but I think he'd grimdark up fairly well!
Wow! That comes really handy for a white scars kill team I planned on building! :) Although I would like to know how you did the base. Will there be a tutorial? :)
You are welcome! The base was a relatively simple one using some cork and vallejo weathering pigments but I can definitely have a look at doing a little tutorial!
Would a grey zenithal be a good idea?
Thank you , Ritch ,
Thanks for watching as always Lou!
@@SprayBlackStudios And as always, My pleasure . Thank you Ritch .
Great video dude. On a side note, I'm pretty sure that is a GU dessert pot that you are using as your paint pot at 3:31, I do the same thing haha.
Thanks bud, good eye! I have a low-key addiction to Gu Keylime Cheesecake.....
That was great! I'm chasing a scheme to paint that Indomitus boxset... And I thought I had it down to a grimdark red... But now I need another test following this recipe! Got my Grime ready!
I need to suggest you AK's Track Wash color... Basically reddish Grime for all grimdark needs. Over zenithal white it's a perfect foundation for anything NMM, parchment or... Anything, almost... And it's an oil wash already, so you would generally only swap away the very top highlight if anything.
Well it never hurts to do a few test schemes!
I'd be very interested to see what you come up with. Although I have a rack full of AK stuff I don't actually have the Track Wash, will take a look into it!
@@SprayBlackStudios I'm testing your scheme (with some variation) on five terminators right now!
Tried some blue, black, red and now this... Sooo... Yeah...
My initial wash was likely not thinned enough and the acrilic under was showing sign of distress before I could ever turn that bright back up again, so I went back with a glaced offwhite highlight (trying a directional lighting I have set with well lit pictures) ... Happy so far! I think this might be a winner, but it's soon to tell! I'll upload a short video on my youtube account... Would love to get any feedback from you!
@@Virakotxa very interesting! Hell yeah, I'll definitely take a look at it once you get it uploaded.
@@SprayBlackStudios th-cam.com/video/L1TKDb97-aw/w-d-xo.html Thanks alot!
@@SprayBlackStudios Finished them! wordpress.com/view/tvcgartist.wordpress.com Really hope you like them! I think they are my best pieces to date! So thank you very much, again...
Love the tutorial but I've always wondered: when it comes to the oil washes, how long do you let them sit on the model before you rub them off with a q-tip and white spirits? Do you let them fully dry? I've played around with oil washes a bit and I find that they come off super easy even after waiting like 20-30 minutes, and I accidentally grab them out of the recesses :\
Normally I tend to leave them about the time you have mentioned and sometimes I'll use a hairdryer just to flash off the excess white spirit.
I'd say if you are bringing it up too much then you are possibly either making them too thin or applying too much white spirit when removing them. The removal should be done fairly slowly so take your time 👍
@@SprayBlackStudios I think if you want to bring your videos' quality up, you should mention these times. You very good at showing techniques, paint amounts and so on, so please include this information :)
Nice
Looks amazing! Could you recommend what yellows you would use for the chapter logo? Thanks
Personally I'd probably use Averland Sunset as your base and then Vallejo Moon yellow as the highlight with a bit of shading glazed in by using some Reikland Fleshshade 👍
Awesome paint job and even better tutorial! You did a great job explaining it so I can follow along and apply it to my Adepta Sororitas models. I'm wondering though, how long did you wait after varnishing the zenithal? I usually wait until the next day but I'm kinda hoping I don't need to.
Thankyou! I am actually using this for some Adepta Sororitas myself!
To be honest at minimum I would wait a few hours! I believe I waited about 4 hours but that was as I was filming the video. Generally 24 hours is about right for the varnish to fully cure!
Going to use this method for a pre heresy world eater, thanks ;)
No worries, please feel free to tag me over on Instagram when you've done it.....
I also have a blood technique that would go pretty well with this too!
Damn, thinking about redoing my black templars into white templars now :'D
Well I'm definitely not going to persuade you out of it......
@@SprayBlackStudios seems like a good start for getting used with airbrushwork. acryl washes would also work but i would have to work faster right?
@@SirHirnschaden using acrylic washes would be very different as you cannot do the reductive technique where you remove it with the cotton bud. Acrylics generally have a very short working life and unlike Oils can't be "re-activated"
@@SprayBlackStudios hmmm i could swear i saw People doing that though. or something similar. Maybe more like a removing color with spirit idk but actually nevermind i should push my materials anyway :D
@@SirHirnschaden you can layer a wash down and then try and absorb it whilst it is still wet but it won't give the same effect sadly, this is one of the great things about Oils and Enamels is that you can get so much more control over them 👍
Hey man, one final question. Apparently the streaking grime you used isn't being made by the manufacturer anymore, does vallejo streaking grime work? Thanks.
I can't say I've used the Vallejo version to really advise sadly. AK Interactive do definitely still do their standard Streaking Grime though, it's code is AK012. It's a slightly different formula from their old one but this was done with the new.
What ratio's did you use to make the oil wash?
Awesome vid!
Hey bud, quick question. Does Windsor's titanium white work as well?
The Windsor and Newton inks are just as good as the Liquitex so would make a great substitute!
How was I not subbed. Don't worry I fixed it
This is very good to hear.... Welcome on board Commissar! *Salutes*
Which undercoat primer I should use if I have not air brush?
Great video btw !
Most spraycan primers will do the trick nicely, Chaos black from Citadel is great but a little on the more expensive side
@@SprayBlackStudios Thank you vers much for your answer. Chaos Black with adding zenital corax white or grey seer?
@@Celtik64 Corax white could work although you'll possibly find that it'll be a fair bit more difficult to control the amount being applied etc.
Just start with a black base and drybrush with grey seer, corax white, and white scar getting lighter and lighter of a drybrush as you go
It’s how I paint my sons of the phoenix and it looks brilliant
Alright it is a bit more of a grey than it is a white but it still reads as white if you do it right
Is there anything you can recommend for a substitute for the liquetex white?
You could use normal white paint if it's nicely thinned down but it won't apply quite as well as the ink sadly.
Love this video! Just curious, did you varnish after the initial oil wash or just wait for some time for it to cure before going for the acrylics?
Thankyou! I didn't varnish it but that was mostly for speed as I was filming. Ideally then it's better to varnish than not but it's not essential
@@SprayBlackStudios thank you!
What PSI did you do the white ink at? Same with the primer.
Hey, is Streaking grime "simply" a liquid pigment?
Streaking grime is an enamel based paint, it's a bit thinner than most enamels which means that it behaves a bit closer to a wash.
Looks awesome, mate. Great job! I love you simple yet instructional style. Thanks for the video man 😁
Thanks buddy! Always looking to make my tutorials as clear as I can!
this was magnificently done! I just decided to start a white scars army and I will be following your method albeit some changes
Love your videos man, it's rare that the grittier paintjobs are made look easy absent a ton of airbrushing. Small piece of feedback though, unrelated to the content. The intro music comes in wayyyy louder than the voiceover, which for someone who listens through earphones, it can be pretty jarring. .
Thanks bud! Definitely agreed, I love my airbrush but it's just a tool and all of this can be done without! I apologise for the music, I have to manually turn it down each time and I seem to have forgotten this time!
Step 1 buy airbrush fuck
Nice
