Fixing NAGASH || How to Convert Miniatures & Make Up Your Own Way

[@Kletterhase]

New grimdark compendium video? Gotta get my robe and candles

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

AW yes. Glad you vibe with it.

[@DarkAgesWorkshop]

That's the spirit!

[@MenschWerdeWesentlich]

Man, I never expected Nagash to be considerate enough to wear an all-hazard-stripes coat! OSHA must have gotten him gooood in the past. Jokes aside, I'm not fond of the coat, but that's obviously a matter of taste. The golden advice here was the beginning. Posture and composition are crucial, yet too often neglected. It can be a painfully slow process to repose a miniature to make it read as believably animated, but I've never regretted taking the time. There is this moment, when you turn the miniature and it comes to live, because the weight and vector of its pose jump at you. So satisfying and sometimes even quite easily done.

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

Ahah! Yeah actually I never intended it to be a hazard stripe. Just a stripe. Was inspired by some medieval knight digital art I saw that was cool. Thank you!! Much appreciated.

[@MenschWerdeWesentlich]

@@GrimdarkCompendium Yeah, to be honest, I guessed as much and my second association was medieval heraldry. Very popular in Turnip28, so it’s grimdark adjacent to say the least. Maybe it just triggers my necromunda reflexes too much.

[@Blackchance]

I got more of an Egyptian vibe from the cloak, myself. The blue-black and gold striping of the pharaoh's headdresses was what I thought of.

[@FirstLast-nq8ov]

I'd love to see how you guys handle a more Hellraiser/ Hell Bound Heart inspired Emperor's Children!!

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

That's exactly the type of inspiration we were thinking about.

[@benpowell4272]

Grey knights. I always thought of them being perfect for a grim dark style because it's so different then what everybody expects. I love your guys content and it inspired my own style even though am just starting I love how different my grey knights are to others and I would love to see what you guys could do with them.

[@speaktome4778]

Yeah they already have this medieval knight look and they're fighting demons 24/7 so it's surprising to me that you don't see them get the grimdark treatment more often. I don't have the time or the talent to give the minis in my own army the kind of treatment GDC would so it would be cool to see them do it.

[@Ryuondo]

I would love to see some GDC Grey Knights.

[@ScratchAttackTV]

When the title isn't clickbait: You've actually fixed Nagash! Would be great to see your take on my childhood/teenage chapters back on 1st and 2nd edition, Space Wolves and World Eaters.

[@Red_Crows]

Had this model for years and always wished he wasn’t flying, definitely going to adjust it over the weekend. Awesome vid. 😊

[@o0krazyboris0o]

Awesome work, and i would love to see full blown Grimdark Sanguinary Guard

[@robozombie5255]

big Dark souls vibe from this one, I love it!!!!

[@carlh8731]

Great video, looking forward to seeing more of the creators. The GDC has really inspired me with my last three army projects to push things further and try new things. Soft pressing is next on the list.

[@tonyclfc]

Ooooh! Im excited to see Tom's work on the channel! I recognised his work instantly.

[@eaten2life]

Absolutely brutal, and flawlessly executed. Love your channel, dude!

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

Awesome, thank you!!

[@forkekus6917]

Emperors children or Iron warriors would be sick.

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

Yeah! We have those already on the GDC courses. Emperor's Children could use a good remake/addition though.

[@daemonishere]

I'm still watching but it's absolutely fantastic to see you go all Grimdark on my favorite Warhammer character of all time! Really educative tutorial and thank you for sharing as always!! Stunning finish from what I saw in the opening.

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

Thank you! Much appreciated. Stay until the end - some cool news for everyone!

[@daemonishere]

@@GrimdarkCompendium Yeah I saw it, great news indeed! Also awesome to see the positive reviews of the Inks, Fauxhammer 's been featuring them a lot in his shorts and one of his reviews lately!

[@BoogViking]

I really would love to see your interpretation of the Imperial Fists chapter. I love the grimdark style, but with yellow often times being a very vibrant as well as difficult color to paint, I would like to see what you could achieve with your style of painting.

[@TheMichaellathrop]

I'd like to see your take on some of the legions before they found their primarchs, so Duskraiders and Warhounds Imperial Heralds maybe The First, alternatively what about a demon prince of Vashtor or some dark Mechanicum goodness.

[@DJO_Kosick]

I would love to see you guys do some Night Lords. I am really keen to see that new blue enamel ink in the next edition of Villainy Inks for my own NL's.

[@lilpain1997]

I recently picked up your inks, and although this grimdark isn't my style ( I prefer a bit more contrast and more in line with trovarions grimdark ), this video is excellent, the same as the inks. I love them, and you get so much in each bottle that i won't run out. I have been rude and harsh in the past and wanted to apologize as well.

[@abelbabel8484]

Completely changed the feel of the model, he seems so much more threatening haha suggestions: Exorcists (loyalist daemon-summoners working hand in hand with the inquisition), Lamenters, and Steel Brethren (chaos robot engineers in shiny chrome :D)

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

Thanks!!

[@Ryuondo]

I would absolutely love to see your take on Khorne Daemonkin faction The Wrath. Not because they're my army, but because they're particularly groady even by CSM factions. I would love to see how you guys deal with the bones, blacks and vivid reds they have while keeping to the fact that they anoint their armor in pulverized gore of their fallen and enemies alike and buff their armor in bone powder.

[@Paintonomicon]

I like it! For the Heretic Astartes videos i‘d like to see some REALLY grimdark Night Lords!

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

Copy! Thanks!

[@diyfireking]

I'm excited to see this video 👍👍

[@CursedCrusaderArts]

This channel has been a huge inspiration to me over that's year and I'm building minis again. It was interesting to see how you changed the Nagash pose and it reminded me of when I was a kid and wanted to convert him into a Fallen Angels Daemon Prince. Maybe I'll revisit the idea one day. I'd love to see your guys' take on the Crimson Fists, especially with their pretty horrific backstory with the orks.

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

You're welcome. Thank you so much! Yeah we're receiving lots of feedback regarding marines. Although majority seems to lean towards chaos. We'll see.

[@jorgenpinoy1724]

This is absolutely artwork, grim artwork… great job and thanks for the tips, always a delight to see you guys post a video 🤟🤟😎

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

Thank you!!

[@welsh_wargaming]

Always find you guys' process, and execution, inspirational.

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

Awesome. Thanks!

[@Cainite]

Honestly, I can't wait to see what you people can do with Night Lords or Charnel Guard... 😍

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

Awesome. Thanks! Night Lords are amongst the most picked in recent feedback.

[@Furryblueelf]

Would love to see Thousand Sons (troopers). Not the higher echelon as already on the Grimdark Compendium

[@joebob390]

They may not be Marines, but seeing some adepta sororitas would be cool

[@TriskelArts]

Amazing video. The more fantasy stuff the better.

[@laughingman4570]

I'd like to see your take on grimdark Blood Angels. Since they are very regal and noble in the lore. Would you lean heavy into the vampiric theme? What kinds of add ons would you use to spice up the smooth space marine armour?

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

The key word here is Gothic. More Gothic elements for sure

[@Wald-3]

Anyone else want to see them takle grimdark Lisardmen sometime?

[@stingray4567]

Love the conversion idea + the paint job is great. The harzard stripes doesnt work IMO though

[@dedrite4781]

Keep setting that Grimdark bar. I enjoy picking up a lot of tips from your style and would absolutely love to see your take on 30K and 40K Word Bearers. From characters to troops to vehicles to demons. The Bearers of the Word, the first heretics have been conceived for your style. “Faith exists to be tested.” -Lorgar

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

Thanks! Copy! We are considering Horus Heresy as well.

[@ernestgraves4401]

Amazing!

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

Thanks!!

[@Nooala]

I would love to see your take on Iron Warriors.

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

We have Iron Warriors on the GDC! Check it out!

[@nickmayne1901]

Fantastic video, just amazing i would love to see you paint some kingdom death minis please ❤

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

Thanks!! Yeah I bet they would be fun. Lots of stuff in the backburner right now!

[@Val4394]

Even though with the shield he is pretty cool, imho as a choice of equip for a necromancer it seems strange to me..

[@Gashadokuro-CTC]

It would be great to see your interpretation of chapters like the Charnel Guard: their genetic flaw that makes them similar to ghouls opens up many interpretations! Furthermore, seeing you do justice to Tzeentch would be incredible: recently I think it has been too relegated to the "memey" and bird-like aesthetic... Some healthy "Howardian" esotericism (like on the old issues of White Dwarf) would restore its charm!

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

Awesome recommendations. Thanks!!

[@benfieldhicks7064]

Lesssss go!

[@ripstainmcripstain905]

Love the channel!

[@madMARTYNmarsh1981]

Excellent video. You should look at using used guitar strings on models, they would be excellent for Grimdark.

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

Yes indeed. Used them in recent projects. Thanks!!

[@Matt-md5yt]

Awesome job on this bad boy

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

Thanks! Appreciate it!!

[@ivanzovko2399]

Absolutely amazing video😮

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

Appreciate it. Thanks!

[@Ingethel-]

Nagash looking like a God of Death instead of a cartoon villain!!

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

Oh yeah. Like it's supposed to be!

[@geanhitchcock1170]

alpha legion for me, dark hidden disguised as something you would suspect.also trench crusade please

[@DiceLifeJohnny]

its nice to be able to hit the like button before even watching the video. killer content as usual. the only thing is we need a supply list for each video. the amazon links arent working btw

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

Ahah, thank you! Hope you enjoy the video. Excited for the future of the GDC.

[@karljohnson1702]

Dark Eldar seem natural candidates for Grimdarking (wasn't a verb before; is now).

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

Yup. Dark Eldar are such good candidates.

[@panosdimi4713]

Where can I find the brushes you use thank you

[@smoothbrush4722]

nice kitbash

[@fokin_skaven]

The cult grows

[@quentindufau]

As much as your new design is nice, you're not fixing anything. Fixing imply the item is broken, wrong or "bad art". Using "reimagining" or "rethinking the design of" is a much more humble way to present things. Kind regards :3

[@helloyou5549]

first

[@helloyou5549]

do some dkok

[@GrimdarkCompendium]
