How To Paint Fast & Effective Grimdark 40k Warbands

[@1pirate]

I think for my tastes, i would have kept the typhoid corrosion on the skin, but kept it off of the bandages, clothes, and weapons. It gives the whole model a look that they are sandy instead of full of boils and warts. But good technique, whenever i get back into painting, i'll keep the techniques in mind.

[@leojones1964]

Would love to see another collection showcase from you since you've expanded!

[@wellywoodwargaming]

Ok cool I'll do one at some point for sure. I did sell off a lot of the gangs I wasn't using though 😅

[@ededdie757]

Lovely conversions. Mad in love with that stage of the hobby. Amazed also at how little actual "painting" does it take to get this level of quality. This one gets saved for future inspiration, thanks!

[@wellywoodwargaming]

Thanks!

[@ZodiusXx]

I feel the lightest bright silver drybrushing on the bases would 100% complete the look, but I do like how the models turned out a lot

[@JoshColley-f7s]

Awesome looking minis. Love the grimdark look, the wow factor to effort ratio is unbeatable. If you're using a bunch of the texture paint definitely look at the Vallejo and AK Interactive texture pastes, same as the GW product but much better value since they come in big tubs for almost the same price. Also consider giving the dirty down products a look, pricey, but excellent results for rust (and other) effects.

[@smosmo1]

These look awesome. I for sure will try a couple of your techniques next time I'm painting mini. Thank you.

[@Gary-gq2le]

Those minis went together pretty well nice kitbashing. As far as the painting goes i am speechless lol it takes me an entire night to do a single mini!

[@wellywoodwargaming]

Thanks dude! It's all about workflow and cracking it out all at once

[@crossedpolars]

Looks great - will try incorporate these techniques with my next batch of walkers

[@mickbrilliantfootballeroft327]

Just wow. Well done.

[@Modge17]

This is awesome! I’m going to try this for a Mordheim project I’m working on. Subbed!

[@wellywoodwargaming]

Thanks! Yes, great for mordheim warbands too for sure!

[@Modge17]

@@wellywoodwargaming so I’ve just tried this on my Mordheim Vampire and love the result! I slap chopped the zenithal and had to use flesh wash instead of sepia but really happy with the result! The typhus corrosion gives the model some nice texture for drybrushing! Also this was my first time using streaking grime and it went surprisingly well! Thanks for the tutorial again!!

[@poxjaw8429]

My mates & I are starting Mordheim soon, so I’ll definitely try some of these techniques 👍🏼

[@ltmammaguerillz6745]

Dude, you are legit my favorite. The kitbashing is so legit. Hope you have a good weekend 🙌🤙

[@wellywoodwargaming]

Thanks so much!

[@VoiceInTheGrimDark]

Great work on these guys!

[@jon0963]

So cool!

[@meanderingshade]

Beautiful work bud, absolutely love it!

[@wellywoodwargaming]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@SirFingleton]

they looked a bit lack luster before the streaking grime. but oh boy did they look amazing after

[@wellywoodwargaming]

Thanks

[@dilophosaurusking7437]

Fantastic

[@AlwaysDrawing2012]

Wonderful tutorial! Thanks for sharing! 😀

[@Matt-md5yt]

they look awesome

[@Andersonzabuza]

I thin kthe part I find the most nuts about this is its almost entirely done with shade paints! Despite that, it still looks detailed jut a bit faded! I really wish I had an army I could try something like this out on!

[@ralphdutton9334]

Absolutely fantastic! 🎉😊

[@Niklas_r]

Great tutorial! Thanks

[@mikekristiansen7495]

I like leaving a 3mm high not black on the base, but keeping the top part of i.e the 3mm the colour of the top of the base, make its look "better", can't really explain it different :D

[@danncozey]

DUDE THIS WAS INSANE lovedddd this video, so inspiring man! I cant get streaking grime where I’m at, how would you describe it as an oil paint mixture? I have oil paints so would just have to mix something up

[@wellywoodwargaming]

It's an enamel I believe. It's has a very matte sort of finish. I'm sure you can get it online from somewhere? Thanks for watching 😃

[@ernestgraves4401]

AMAZING!

[@sammci]

These look amazing! Almost exactly the kind of style I am looking to create for my Mordheim possessed warband. Do you seal the miniatures with a varnish before applying the AK Streak and Grime, or just at the very end?

[@wellywoodwargaming]

I don't use varnish. Everything I did is in the video except for a touch of green contrast paint on a couple of guys and a gold visor

[@danielecarnelli5553]

Amazing!!!😍

[@wellywoodwargaming]

Thank you!

[@DotJus]

You have great skin for a dude in his late 30’s / early 40’s.

[@wellywoodwargaming]

Haha thanks! I'll take it

[@mangoman9290]

I like it!

[@Helliondre]

I feek like you, i have a lot of difficulty to paint something with a lot of saturated colour, amd it tooks me a long time before finding about john blanche... Now i found what i like to do and i work with a lot of similarities than you😅. Except that i prefer ratling grime over seraphim sepia to shade my mini and i work a lot with enamel too. I really enjoy your video and will look for other 😁

[@Le_Petomane]

This is spot on! As i paint my new gang. My question is how can you be so simultaneously British and Kiwi at the same time? Clearly a man of my own heart but whats the story there? Now living in Oz?

[@wellywoodwargaming]

Yep from Cambridge originally, lived in London a long time. 7 years in NZ and now Oz for however long. NZ has my heart and is my real home though tbh

[@toomaskotkas4467]

I am a big fan of "grim dark" style of painting, but I don't like going overboard to the point it looks like an Nurgle army. I am more of "wear and tear" type of style.

[@wellywoodwargaming]

Each to their own eh! 😁

[@Spawn733]

Really great! What about varnish I wonder? Don't care for it?

[@wellywoodwargaming]

Personally, I don't bother but I can understand why people do. When I've varnished them before, I've usually had slightly negative results to the paint jobs underneath. I handle my minis fairly carefully generally too, so it's not a huge problem

[@Spawn733]

@@wellywoodwargaming Even non-spray varnish? I always found painted-on citadel varnish was good but maybe I should let go of my notion to always varnish...

[@CB-sf9mx]

Great video buddy. The new nuln and aggrax suck. Use Army painter washes with a drop of medium.

[@wellywoodwargaming]

Thank you!

[@CB-sf9mx]

@@wellywoodwargaming i had a bit of a breakdown when i first realised they had changed it.

[@Spandau-Filet]

You reckon a House Delaque would work ok with this..?

[@wellywoodwargaming]

Definitely! My own delaque we're a similar scheme

[@Spandau-Filet]

@@wellywoodwargaming awesome! Just got my copy of 2nd edition this week. Want to learn and play asap. Had my Delaque box sealed for 2 years. Cheers for the message. Keep up the great work.

[@CasparLapthorne]

I can't agree more with the sentiment of how boring the typical GW painting style is compared with Blanchitsu. "In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war" implies the EXACT OPPOSITE of what's printed on all the 40k box art. Even Nurgles look like they take bubble baths and polish themselves three times a day. It's such a strange juxtaposition to the whole ethos of Warhammer I really don't understand it.
