Hey everyone! Today I'm going to show you my process for painting a Ultramarine Phobos LT. in the grimdark style! Give it a watch and let me know what you think! Reddit: / quinton_w IG: / quintonwatson.design
Nice work. I like your style as I paint Grimdark as well. I do volumetric highlights, and usually avoid doing any edge highlights. Except the top edge of the knee pad as that’s usually sticking out there. Keep the tutorials coming please!
Love the grimy look - baffles me that so many painters have such clean looking models, with highlights everywhere when it is meant to be a grimdark setting.
And here I was asking myself if I’m a fuckin mad man for the amount of paints washes and thinners I’d be using for one single model. I’ve come to realize that since I don’t play and just paint using 40 different paints and spending a week on a single miniature is actually normal
I love your work! Could you do Dark Angels next? Maybe a standard green marine or/also a Deathwing bone color Terminator would be really nice to see a tutorial on, for me at least.
Love your painting style. Wrestling with creating grim dark Dark Angels in the flatter, earthier, dark olive green military styles that look good. Think World War II dark olive tank colors. Would you be willing to do a video on Dark Angels?
Excellent work. I'll be sure to reference this when I come work on my successor chapter. Also, where did you get the STL for that helmet? It looks great.
Hey mate, love the tutorial! Great work. The grim dark style looks great and very informative and helpful tutorial :D. Just wondering if you could do a grim dark Void Trident chapter marine!
When I was applying it I unintentionally watered it down too much and I must have agitated it to make it appear foamy, but it turned out good regardless!
@@YouAreAsleep you're not wrong lol, but the lieutenant model here has a lot of different elements on it that requires those extra paints and washes: the bone armor, the tyranid base, and the flamer for example. You get rid of those and you shrink your paint list by a lot because you wouldn't need them.
So not canon, but I've seen someone do space marine lenses as black and then hit them with a gloss varnish and they had a very intimidating look that worked really well with grim dark painting. Two what about doing the screen black with white lines and then glazing a green over to get the look of the old monochrome CRT screens?
Eventually I will! I have a few other chapters im working on now! That is part of the model from the Leviathan box, I dont know if GW has plans or is currently selling that model by itself or not though or if there is a upgrade spru :(
Did you shake the absolute shit out of your bottle? I have had that happen and its due to everything not mixing in the bottle, I'm not sure how long it will take for it to dry for you unfortunately, sorry :(
I wonder how it looks on the table. I find a lot of grimdark schemes look amazing under a studio light and with a black background - but on the table the army just looks like a blob because grimdark often lacks contrast... 😮 Even here you can see how every color is super-desaturated, with lots of grey dominating the model... 😢
I am not trying to be critical, but way (way) too many paints, too many washes, too many techniques, just too much. Please go back and repeat the work, but you get 5 paints total.
