@samgray4777 3 года назад

Nice I gotta try that old rust fantastic tip. Dry brushing space marines is a great method, saves time and in my opinion looks a lot better as it shows the armour has seen some action, use it for my own chapter (Kantor Dry brush Alaitoc - Nuln oil - then Fenrisian drubrush)

@SprayBlackStudios 3 года назад

Thankyou! It definitely does work better for this style of painting, just that little bit more wear and tear makes a big difference!

@rjwtaylor 3 года назад

Really like this. I'd prefer a little more brightness on the flashy parts of my Raven Guard (company trim, weapon casing and decorative bits), but this looks like it would take less than half the time per model my current edge highlighting approach takes... May do a test model following this guide and add a few brighter colours before the weathering powder to see how it looks. 4th company represent!

@SprayBlackStudios 3 года назад

Thanks Robert! You can definitely push the brightness up a bit on those details, I just chose to keep them all a bit darker to go with the scheme. Would be very interested to see what you come up with!

Thankyou! The Vallejo primer that I use for almost all of my work is the standard Vallejo Surface Primer Black, it's the more matte finished one.

Exorcists would be an interesting one, would make for great kitbash/conversion opportunities but it may be tough to grimdark them without feeling too like Word Bearers.... may ponder this one a bit! 👍

@jamst123 2 года назад

Massive problem with the gw style.. although it's crisp and not a line out of place even on a macro level.. it's just too cartoonish. A space marine in the 40k universe should be that crisp once.. the minute they walk out of the factory. The rest of their time should be covered in dust, grime and battle damage. I can't even drive my truck to the end of the street without it needing cleaning and these super soldiers from gw look like they are spit shined.. get some grimdark on them! Love it! Thanks for the vid will help me a lot with getting my raven guard up to spec.

@SprayBlackStudios 2 года назад

I completely agree! GW style has it's place but I love a bit of immersion and I just don't get that with models that look like they have just stepped out of the factory as you say!

@jamst123 2 года назад

@@SprayBlackStudios 100% I'd rather see your efforts on the cover art than there's to be honest. Or at least alternative box art for grimdark too. 👍

@bradytatro8565 2 года назад

How do you clean up mistakes on the black armor? I want to try this method but not always the cleanest painter and it seems like it would be very challenging to fix any mistakes if I accidentally get any of the other colors onto the black.

@SprayBlackStudios 2 года назад

It definitely can be challenging to correct mistakes but I would keep handy something like Corax black (slightly lighter than Abaddon black) and apply with very thin coats, almost like a glaze. This can cover up any major mistakes it'll just take some time.

@darkojovanovic5637 3 года назад

Good Job. But we need more Heretic Marines. Iron Warrios are demanding a Grim Dark treatment.

@SprayBlackStudios 3 года назад

Yeah you are definitely right, the heretics need some loving too!

@tobiasrobinson6474 3 года назад

Amazing result, will be trying out some of your techniques on my salamanders. Silly question, what type / band of white spirit are you using here?

@SprayBlackStudios 3 года назад

Thanks bud! Would love to see how the Salamanders turn out all grimdark! The white spirit I am using is just a normal decorating one from B&Q.... Artists one would definitely be preferred but I ran out and this is a lot cheaper!

@keithcarter5468 2 года назад

Do you add a final coat of clear acrylic spray for protection or will the white spirits act as a protective coating ??

@SprayBlackStudios 2 года назад

The white spirit won't act as a protective coat I'm afraid, I fully recommend a layer of an acrylic varnish to protect your miniature at the end.

@mikusheep 3 года назад

I know they're more black marines but I wanna see your take on the Deathwatch with your style, I think it could be cool with the large amount of metallics they have, plus all the other DW tutorials are just Eavy Metal style, or don't have the production value your videos have.

@SprayBlackStudios 3 года назад

Thankyou! I hadn't thought about Deathwatch previously but I think you might be right! Let me get some more colours in so everyone doesn't accuse me of just painting black and I'll give them a shot!

@elliothamer3034 3 года назад

What brushes do you use, particularly when you were doing the weathering? Seems like they hold a lot of paint but keep a point nicely

@SprayBlackStudios 3 года назад

Hey Elliot, I use a range of brushes, for most of my painting I use Broken Toad Mkiii brushes but for the majority of weathering I just use some of the citadel synthetic brushes! The key is looking after them properly, making sure they are cleaned well etc.

@DataMineNo69 3 года назад

Think you could do a Grimdark craftworld eldar?? No one ever does the pointy ears, its always space marines. Btw I noticed you get some bubbles in the paint cup when using your airbrush. Is that normal as I also get some bubble when I use mine. I thought it was due to some blockage, but im very vigilante when it comes to cleaning. Thanks in advance and great video. :D

@SprayBlackStudios 3 года назад

Oh I could definitely Grimdark up a Craftworld Eldar! Sadly Space Marines get the views and are always popular which is why people gravitate to them. I am liking the Eldar challenge though! Bubbles does generally mean you do have a small blockage and are getting some air leakage, I'm normally pretty good on the cleaning but I'll admit that sometimes I get carried away and forget!

@takeo575 2 года назад

Hey, it looks so good ! How many coat of nuln oil shade do you need to darker the armor after drybrush ? And do you use the dawnstone dry or the layer one, please ?

@SprayBlackStudios 2 года назад

Hi Takeo, it depends a little on how strong an effect you are going for but realistically at least 2 or 3 coats of Nuln Oil. As for the Dawnstone it's entirely up to you, personally I tend to use the Layer more often than not but the dry one is easier to drybrush.

@takeo575 2 года назад

@@SprayBlackStudios Ok thanks =)

@ruleofkoolwargaming4926 2 года назад

How would you paint a raven guard vehicle in this manner?

@SprayBlackStudios 2 года назад

To be honest for vehicles I would likely use a slightly different technique. I would likely start with the black and then just use the drybrush to pick out edges etc. It would be very difficult to get an even finish with the washes on the large flat panels of Space Marine vehicles

@12345jina 3 месяца назад

is it safe to lick your brush when painting resin mini?

@jakefuller685 2 года назад

Hey SprayBlack quick question my man! I know obviously this would work for other infantry units but can this method/steps also be used for vehicles? I got a bunch of SMs coming in the mail after discovering the ravenguard. Haven’t played in about 20 years (first game was a demo at GW back when I was a wee lad). Tmi I know! However thank you anyways for this sick tutorial!

@SprayBlackStudios 2 года назад

Hey Jake, sorry about the delay! This technique will work for videos although if I am honest not quite as well as on infantry as it doesn't work quite so well on the big surfaces. I am currently doing some trials into a similar effect using the new Black Legion contrast paint through and airbrush to avoid the pooling but not quite got it right yet.

@jakefuller685 2 года назад

@@SprayBlackStudios all good! Thank you!

@goodbigbadboy 3 года назад

Have you tried using the Black Templar contrast paint instead of a black wash to darken the zenithal highlight? I’m curious if it would require less coats or it might be too thick. Thanks for the videos, it’s helping me put together my paint plan for my Blanchitsu Deathwatch!

@SprayBlackStudios 3 года назад

Hey, I've tried using the Black Templar but I find it's a bit too thick. It will do the same job but in applying one thick coat I find you get a bit less control. Personally I'd rather take the time to build the effect up slowly rather than rushing it 👍
