Well ...this has been a journey... ever since I painted the first of these a few years ago much has changed, but the enjoyment stays the same!
I only just now realised the parallels to Slapchop, mainly why the technique exists and what the implications for painting are, so I thought I'd put my thoughts on it in video form, while we expand the grimdark series by another chapter.

We would love to see you paint grim dark Plague Marines ! Thanks so much for sharing man.
@Andrew Sullivan thanks for lmk!
Paint salamanders! You could try a cool burnt paint effect, like it’s peeling or something different like that
@@NightfallTH What does that mean bud ? No Motives on Displate ?
Can you do a video on brushes plz
For anyone who wants to do this but is unsure about doing really fine edge highlighting with a brush; Get a colored pencil like white or lightblue and run that along your edges. Or normal grey pencil for putting edges on metallic stuff. Works like a charm and is very easy to control or correct if you mess up.
I have just started painting and edge highlights are incredibly difficult for me. Sometimes I feel like I don't have enough paint on the brush, sometimes too much.
Despite all the resources, there's a lot of common knowledge stuff that isn't common for beginners.
i chose suffering 😂😂
Thank you for the tip! I will for sure try it. I found using a super soft, very fine-pored sponge, like a make-up blending sponge, with dry paint, works great with highlights too vs a brush.
@@ThomasDobosz can you link the product please?
I just love that the finish given by Grimdark makes the model feel so much more alive and in the midst of battle. It's brilliant and you execute it with a level of care that makes any painting style so much more enthralling.
I would really love to see the Dark Angels for the next video in the series, either the basic green armor or the bright tan/bone of the deathwing. I’ve had a really hard time finding references and tutorials for them that I really love and I would love to see your take on them
second this!
This style of painting makes the finished mini in the photos look like it is 54mm rather than 30mm; great work.
Dude I love this so much. Would be very interested to see your take on Dark Angels green in this style
Yes! Likewise!
This ultra realistic style has inspired me in painting several of my minis. I’m currently doing a Legion of the Damned Marine. Thanks for the inspiration 👍
Looks wicked. As a filthy dark angels player I'd like to see you tackle the first! I'd be interested to see how you'd deal with the already dark green ^_^
As a new Dark Angels player i'd love to see a new way of painting them!
Your grimdark series is just so refreshing. The models look so much more alive than the traditional box art. Thank you!
Hey Trovarion your content lately I think has been getting better and better; your techniques and tips were always good but I think you have really stepped it up a notch and I just wanted to say I feel like I noticed some growth and I love it. Thanks for being a pioneer, pushing for new territory, and sharing the journey.
I used this method back when your video came out for my Primaris Chaplain and it's still one of my most interesting paint jobs years later. Taught me a lot about taking advantage of the actual properties of paint and pigment. Love this style.
This is masterwork. I can't believe some people don't like this. Love all your work!
How good are your follower's results? AWESOME! You're teaching and helping so many painters, Trov. Love it.
You hit a HUGE nail by stating that you needed to define your own methods of weathering on the smaller scale. Doing it all with acrylics also helps the younger crowd. Not everyone has access to oils and enamels. You can do so much with a basic acrylic starter set by getting creative.
I love grim battered marines :) . It's the bright shiny ones I struggle with . Excellent work . Keep it up :)
Hey Trovarion, apologies in advance for getting a little mushy here, but I wanted to thank you again for this video. I came to your channel for the techniques and painting tips, but the thing that always makes me pumped to come back for your next video is that I just freakin adore you. I identify a lot with things you express about your personality in this video and others, and not only does it feel great to feel like I've got a lot of common ground with someone I look up to, but your openness and honesty about your struggles and challenges and how you cope with them--like constantly needing to evolve new styles in order to not get bored, etc.; I feel like that stuff gives me a lot of insight into how to cope with my own struggles as an artist, and I think that stuff is at least as valuable as the techniques and lessons about painting itself, and I just can't thank you enough for being you, sharing yourself and your art journey, and for the years of great content and lessons. You rule, man.
By far the most engaging style I've seen. Having the minis look like they're living in the terrain of their baseplate is awesome.
This mini on arid dirt is a nice and versatile environment, but I'd love to see really sloppy mud, or even bioluminescent-style goop/slime. I feel like there's a lot to be said for the baseplate and what it provides for the mini.
Exceptional and inspiring. Thanks!
Really great look, love how grounded the model looks all over! Would be keen to see how you'd tackle a split pattern like the Angels of Redemption
I love this method, it’s genuinely great to watch. You see things really tighten up as each pass is applied.
Really enjoying this content. Your delivery and production make new processes and techniques understandable, relatable and most importantly applicable. Feeling very inspired.
Already subscribed - rung the bell for all notifications going forwards.
I like it, is probably one of the best takes on the dark and grim style I have seen.
Most inspiring - I loved your take on BA's and have used your technique - this also, is superb!
I've watched a lot of videos recently about painting and this style is by far the most realistic I have personally come across!
Haven't painted a single mini in ages, but watching your videos truly gives me inspiration to star again, I'd love to see this method applied to the space wolves armor 😁
Great work as always! 😀
Hi Trovarion, looks great! I love all the different approaches you took.
Simply fkn awesome. Pure Gigachad Trovarion: Sees the "chop", slaps it in the dirt by creating his own style, refuses to elaborate and leaves.
It truely is a joy to see your journey on TH-cam over the last years. The quality is getting insane. Proud to be a Patreon Member!
Absolutely love this style, so quick with such a great grimdark effect.
Nailed it! When I finally get down how to do it with my raptors (basing in dark olive drab) I'll share it with ya so you can see your influence! Bad ass stuff man. Keep it going!
I love what you do, how you film it, edit it, and I steel your process and some Richard Gray stuff and damn….I am happy. You do you so I can continue to learn how to do me!! Thanks so much!!
It's fantastic! As an Ultramarines player it's something that I have a strong urge to do as I think it would simplify the painting process for me (I'm not very good!), however I think for now I'll stick to a more 'standard' method to try and improve my basic painting skills, even if it takes me longer. Definitely going to try this approach on a future army. Would be really interesting to see how you'd apply it to a metallic armour colour - thinking something like Minotaurs etc.
I’m in love with this style of work! Thank you!!
Looks fantastic. I really like the heavy industrial look you chose for the weapons.
Looks absolutely amazing. Incredible job as always
I’d enjoy you trying this on Dark Angels. I’d be curious to see what choices you make. As always, great video.
Working on the painting my Marines right now. This vid is one of my best inspirations. Thanks.
Great video, love the overall effect and cohesiveness! A space wolf as your next model would be awesome ;)
Amazing!! Great video as per usual! Thanks for posting all this work and techniques!!
Wow. It's fantastic, as always. Your videos are huge source of inspiration for me. And something I aspire to achieve.
I'm preparing to start painting my first set of minis. Super excited to try this out on a few of my units to highlight the troops that are more seasoned rather than fresh recruits.
absolutely love using grimdark style for space marines. i actually am in the middle of my first commission of Ultramarines and i'm doing them all grimdark. glad to see channels showing it some love still
This style is absolutely astounding. I love how You painted Blood Angels and I need to finally show it to my father, because He collects them. Personnaly I would like to see White Scars or any chapter in white armor, because I plan to paint World Eaters in pre-heresy colors for Gladiator Cadre 331 or Salamanders, my absolutely favourite legion/chapter and I think that style would be suiteble for them.
Hi, I’ve painted a few in white armour in Grimdark style. Feel free to view some of my uploads 👍
Your video is very clear, dense, go straight to the point. Very interesting.
This is video belongs in the proverbial minipainting TH-cams hall of fame. I’ve watched a statistically significant sample size of videos to make that claim with a 99% confidence interval.
Beyond the obvious (I like the results one can achieve with this sort of thing in a stepwise fashion)…it’s 1, adaptable, and 2, a damn fun way to paint. It’s an especially enjoyable way for me to paint Space Marines, which are - despite getting a lion’s share of GW’s effort as a company and thus range from very good to stunning sculpts - kind of a bore to paint. Big open curves and lots of empty space begs for the stippling.
I don’t even really go for what I think of as some kind of obvious grimdark look. They just look weathered to me. The adaptability comes in here. I go fast and over-highlight a lot up to a desaturated highest highlight, then hit it with easy glazes. Both to bring the saturation back up top and to bring my shadows back in line. Blackline and then some additional easy weathering (scratches, stipple in glazes for stains, etc). Boom. A really good looking Marine quite quickly because I’m very rarely being that careful (I do have pretty good brush control these days though…which this exercise has made me more aware of).
Just wanted to add: big open curves and negative space are not in and of themselves why I don’t like painting space marines (those are things I love in other contexts). Space Marines being boring to paint has more to do with them all being the same basic set of curves and negative space and everyone, collectively, having painted literally what has to be tens of millions of them at this point.
I LOVE this style! Thanks for the tutorial!
Love your Grimdark videos. As a newbie this style has clicked with me!!!
I love this dirty, weathered grim dark paint style. Its really the first method I've seen that gives me that same feeling i have when thinking about the 40k universe; drab, hopeless, dark, and utterly fantastic. Huge props 👍 Going to try my homebrew order of flame inspired sororitas like this!
I love this style and technique. I just got myself some Dark Angels, hope to see your take on them at some point in this style btw. I however tried out different schemes and colours for them over two weeks before I came across your Blood Angel video and I just love the final look of them! I still need some time to get the sponging right and get paitient enough in generell to paint in quite thin layers but I prefer this way FAR over slapchop!
Man it looks great! I'm definitely going to try this technique. I want to see you try painting a more interesting space marine color scheme in this style, maybe Novamarines, Red Scorpions or even Legion of the Damned!
I love this method. Ive been using it for my Dark Angels and while they're not as awesome as yours. I like em. Cheers Trovarion
Great video! The intensity of the eye lenses really sell the model as an animated living thing
Bro, I love this mini. Great job! I also like your technique for doing Gold. I'll have to try that out on mine
Although i opt for a more clean style when painting my miniatures. i love watching these videos and seeing the results. It looks really striking and very much like you expect to see a war torn marine. One thing that would be awesome is to see this approach on a darker color scheme like dark angels. I always struggle to weather darker base tones, as a lot weathering is is dark grimy colors which don't always have the impact, compared to doing it on a yellow or blue.
I also must say that I love your style here. It's what I'm always going for, and sometimes getting to.
This is absolutely insane. You’re incredibly talented, brother.
I’m enjoying your work and this looks awesome. I’m really enjoying using slapchop immensely and have changed to this for the remainder of my Black Templars. I’m going to give this technique a trial run before having a crack at it on my Bayard’s Revenge though.
I’d be interested to see your take on lighter armour on a Tome Keepers dude. 🤙🏼
Love this! Please do the dark angels!!
Love stippling so much! Thanks for another great vid!
I was planning on painting up some space marines using slap chop method, but after seeing this video, think I am gonna give this a shot. It looks amazing!!
It really looks bad-ass. Dark Angels next? I have an entire army of unpainted Dark Angels, and am in desperate need of inspiration.
I'd love to see Salamanders next up. Absolutely love this technique. Looking forward to trying it out soon 😊
Excellent work! Excited to give this a shot myself. Would love to see a green marine in this style (Dark angel/Salamander)
I would love to see your White Armour version of this technique, Trov - you the man! Thanks for your art and effort! 😀
Brilliant video, the results are amazing. I might try this on the Knight Magaera I have on order.
This is the style I want to use. That looks amazing! More please, just more!
I've been going down this road for a bit with my models now. And I see as you are growing in it, so am I. Altering things in different ways. This method is extremely enjoyable to me with a grand outcome. I hope to see you progress is this similar style. May I our models be grim
-Mjar
Looks absolutely fantastic! Love it!
There is so much texture, I love it so much!
This video has inspired me more than any I’ve watched in a long time! ❤❤❤
Quick newb question; what product are you using for the dirt/dust? How do you glue it (or varnish it afterwards) without it changing color?
Looks amazing. Love the way this one turned out. The white weapons were a great choice.
this painting style looks so sick!
you feel much more humble and welcoming in this video than in some of your old ones. I really like that!
I honestly don't know where that idea comes from. Maybe because I am massively uncomfortable in front of the camera and I have gotten slightly more used to it? I never had an ego about my painting ever...so this impression I give really confuses me...haha.
I would love to see the Tau or Necrons brought to life like this, you're a great painter!!
Thanks a lot, trovarion! Would be very interested to see your approach on a white armoured army, like white scars for example. Keep up the great work❤
Amazing result! Love this technique
I love to try out new styles and techniques. While I haven't given the ultramarine one a try I did do the black templar and while I definitely have a lot to improve there, after all it was the first time I had tried this technique I can comfortable echo that it was fun and for some reason super relaxing.
I'm about to completely restart my Night Lords army and I think this is the method I'm going with. Different shades of blue of course. I'm just not sure how its going to look on vehicles/dreads, or if I should substitute brown for a dark purple as the base. Either way, I absolutely love this method. I must have watched this, along with your Blood Angel video, 10 times.
Awesome work with the channel man!
Hey man, this looks amazing! Nicely done!
When I first started doing minis, I got some flaks around me because I would paint my space marines as dirty looking rather than all clean. I do get the satisfaction of having a nice and clean paintjob, especially when you are learning the basics, but I got brushed off for the ideas of doing Space marines that looks battleworn as just me hiding how bad I actually was at painting rather than me truely liking my paintjob.
Sure I did and I still suck, but your minis and your paintjob warms my heart that yes, you can get a very awesome looking space marine that looks like he is on an actual campaign rather than a military parade, and the paintjob would still look rad.
Gotta say i love this style alot, simple in theorybut with alot of potential as we can see. Great
When it come to a slapchop paint job style. I used a familiar method for the Ironwarrior, Word Bearer ,Black legion and Night Lords models. As to give them grim dark look while looking clean enough look for some one who do regular maintence to their war gear. For me i find acrylique paint and Vehelio paint with some shading work for a grim look. Also to make some of my models look like their gear have a grim dark look that the gear seen better days i like to use a scapel blade and damage the mode for where damage done by a melee blade or a bullet make sense for a mark left on the armor still from a previous fight.
Can’t wait to try this method out!
Might try with a oily steel base coat
1 I was looking for the metal posters and they sponsored this video yay lol, loved the work you did on the marine, I just need a box for my to do stash thanks for this video, keep them coming.
Love seeing your videos dude! Great content
I'm in love with the hazard stripe scheme for the weapons. Overall, great result
that really does look amazing, great job and keep it up
Fantastic painting! I love this method!
Can't wait to try this technique out!
I’ve used your method for so many things now, to include my Ork Trukk, Deffkopta, and Deff Dread. STUPID SIMPLE AND AWESOME
Man this is such a cool look and technique.
Really cool technique and loved the style you're going for. Personally I would like to see this technique with a metallic chapter such as the Silver Templars, curious of any differentiations you would do working with a metal armor and varying colors that are with the chapter such as the yellows and blacks.
This technique led to my first space marines I was truly proud of, thanks dude!
Started to watch to hear Trovarion say 'sponge'. Stayed for the awesome paint job. Both did not disappoint.
So a brown primer would work and then start the blue show.
Im doing a dark angel army. With their new codex coming I would REALLY love a guide to a grim dark painting scheme :)
This was great! I'll follow along next time I sit down to paint.
this is just amazing, really really lovely technique
"Making it feel fun, not a chore" Love that take in the beginning on finding what is fun for you. Sometimes it's fun for me to put in the tedious work to get a really high level or improve my skill. Others it's quick and fun. There is room for both.
Exactly!
I love each version of these videos as they come out. I find this style matches really nicely when for making an old battered imperial knight
Like a dekade ago, this is how I painted rust effects. Just using various brown and orange tones and at the end either highlighted or just drybrushed with a silver metal colour and it was done.
Just started working on a small Crimson Fists force based on the 3rd edition box art, and I'll definitely be trying this method to get the vibe
Something i tried recently for a customer who wanted a seriously battered "crusade" look to her Space Wolves/Dark Angels force was to tear a piece of the foam packaging from the insert of a figure tray up into VERY small pieces, dab them into some lightly thinned paint, wipe/dab the excess off on a paper towel, then lightly dab the armour. This left me with a very nice chipped/worn/Grimdark mottling over a black primer base paint, and then I did the same with smaller pieces of foam, using different steel to silver mixed with greys of various shades. I'd already applied the decals for her squads, so they got the mottled effect, too. By the time I'd finished the figures, they looked like they'd spent centuries in constant battle, world-weary and almost beyond repair, but also looked pretty awesome, too :-) She was delighted with them, as they were exactly how she wanted her crusade force to look, and she's now commissioned her entire force (Vehicles and all) to be done the same way. LOVE how you do the figure in this video, and I'll try it out on some of my own Kill Team Phobos Marines soon :-)
Looks great. Funny thing is, armor modelers have been using that technique for years. i use it to weather tanks that have flat panels, so i think it's great to see it on space marines. I love the chipped and weathered figures. I'm more into realistic than clean.
