I'm surprised you don't have more views, you're definitely deserving. I've been searching so long how to paint a primarily black army without it just being boring black. I love the idea of the pale blue to grey dry brush with the dark blue shade to make it look like a "cool black" as you described. It's the little stuff like that, that really make something less flat. Kudos, man and thanks for the great video!
Thank you for your guide. I pretty much followed it for my Deathwatch. I just dont use the Nuln Oil as I ended up really liking the blue black armor, it makes a nice contrast with my orange Mars bases.
Really like this mini. I especially like that it didn't use streaking grime, because you made it look considerably grimdark without it using easily approachable painting techniques. Thanks again for another great tutorial.
Thanks! Good to hear that you like it. This is the first in a series of simple grimdark marines where I'm just drybrushing and washing. There will be more!
I use Citadel's drybrush, but it's really old and worn. When I drybrush I don't thin the paint at all. I just make sure most of it is no longer on my brush when I drybrush. When I drybrush organic materials I make the brush a little damp. That will make it look less streaky and less dusty, but for metallics and armour I like to keep the brush dry to get that rough look.
I stumbled across your "Cold steel and red plumes Stormcast Eternals" guide, I presume the process is kinda similar to this video? I really dig what you've done to them, and I picked up the paints according to your color scheme.
nice video, going to use that as base for my deathwatch 👍 you sure though it was leadbelcher on the silver parts?? looks way brighter like stormhost silver
Yes, it definitely is leadbelcher on the weapon and to create battle damage. Only the shoulder is really silver. With the dark armour it will already look pretty bright.
It's from the base ready range of Geek Gaming Scenics: www.geekgaming.co.uk/collections/base-ready-range/products/lukes-aps-basing-ready-mars-terrain Just put PVA glue on the base and dump the material on and it's done.
I really don't mind the chalkiness of drybrushing at all. I have multiple drybrushes that I use one after the other so I can rinse them out and still have a dry brush ready for the next colour. The dusty look is just part of my style. That being said, you can tone it down a lot with a wash over your drybrushing. It will soften the transition between the layers. You can also drybrush with a damp brush. Just wet it in some water, dab it dry and then get paint on it and drybrush like normal. It's more difficult and you easily overdo the drybrushing, but it will be a lot smoother. I do this when I drybrush something organic, like skin.

@@FogOfGore Literally can't wait for those to come out. These are incredibly helpful and encouraging.
looks great! i like how its very rugged looking
High quality video as always man, you need more subs and views!
Thanks! I'll just keep making videos like this and subs and views will come 😃
Shout out to Chestnut Ink...mine dried up years ago...great to see an old favorite again!
Yes! I'm so happy I kept my old paint pots. It just feels good to hold the good old goblin green too 😀
Love this. What brush brand do you use for paint and dry brush? Also when you highlight, do you wet or thin the paint ?

I loved this video. Would you please come up with a similar recipe for Iron Hands, please?
Could we ever get a grimdark Lamenters?
Oof, grimdark bright yellow, now there's a challenge. I'll definitely give it a shot!
Can I ask you if the Eshin Grey is a base or layer paint?
Any chance you could do the imperial fists id like to see how they would look in a grimdark style
Yeah, absolutely! Great idea.
I very strongly second this 👍🏼
How did you do the red base?
It's from the base ready range of Geek Gaming Scenics: www.geekgaming.co.uk/collections/base-ready-range/products/lukes-aps-basing-ready-mars-terrain
Just put PVA glue on the base and dump the material on and it's done.
@@FogOfGore no extra work at all?
@@colouredIncognito nope, that's all. Check the video at 9:20 and you can see how I did it.
I know I am late to the party, but really nice, simple and effective work. How do you work against the chalkiness coming from drybrushing?
I really don't mind the chalkiness of drybrushing at all. I have multiple drybrushes that I use one after the other so I can rinse them out and still have a dry brush ready for the next colour. The dusty look is just part of my style.

@@FogOfGore Thank you for the excellent tips! :)
@@docremington1589 Happy to help out :)
