How To Paint: Grimdark Ultramarines

[@nilsirrah7672]

Now THIS feels like a miniature painting tutorial of the modern era.

[@cuthwulf]

Yeah...the modern era = dab paint, roll it in grease, wipe off with a q-tip. Call it "grimdark" and claim it takes a lot of skill to achieve. Sorry but when your 22 minute paint job looks like a 22 minute paint job, just fess up and say "I wanted something quick".

You have the best tutorial on YT, no BS just professional painting and film making. Thanks

[@greggonzalez661]

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!

[@Mateodestiny]

Just started a few days ago. This video appeared as if it was meant to be. You got a life long subscriber. Keep it up brother.

[@InfectiousViper]

That’s such a cool Ultramarine model!

[@v0nstrudelhaven]

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

[@jeremytitus9519]

Word. Anybody wants to tell you otherwise, can catch these hands 🤜🏾🔥🤛🏾

[@NT-wg1fg]

Been doing the same for 20 years Never learned to play the damn game 😂

[@plasticbudgie]

Choose my chapter because pf thos video, ill never paint like this, but this is the coolest one ive seen

[@Draltair0]

It is Heresy that this doesn't have more views! Can't wait to try some of these tricks myself.

[@A2Ztigers]

I watched this video a few days ago and thought, "wow, it's incredible what he does with just black, imperial blue and magic blue", then tried to find the video later and couldn't get back to it no matter what I searched for. Eventually got here through a reverse image search of a screenshot I took of the paints, which took me to your Reddit, which linked to your KZbin. So glad I found it again. Liked and subbed so that won't happen twice.

[@Souvlaki_Enjoyer]

what a ride

[@A2Ztigers]

​@@Souvlaki_Enjoyer fuckin tell me about it, this video was my white whale for a few days.

[@MaxskiSynths]

The camera quality really does your beautiful painting a disservice! great job 🤩

[@Robonator14]

This looks incredibly sick and i hope i can try it out in the near future

[@andrew182matches]

This is a great video! I just got some of my first 40k kits in years so I'm excited to try these techniques. I'm especially eager to follow this guide for my Space Wolves unit.

[@shogunmage9036]

This is a great tutorial. Not only is the paintjob well executed but your video editing to explain it is stellar. Keep it up!!

[@Demigodish4o3]

I really dig these tutorials! Love the format and how you're displaying/showcasing everyting.

[@theangrydinogentlemen1096]

Love the video man keep it up and take as long as you need i will willingly wait years if it means i can see your work

[@morgang9882]

wow dude. you just made me realize a big reason i and many others don’t have a huge interest in the ultramarines is because we see them everywhere already. on box art, all the promotional material, the videogames etc. but you’ve made them interesting again and gave them something back that i felt they’ve always been lacking with this paint style. so excited to see what comes next!

[@baconwhale6414]

Sir please make a painting tutorial for Grimdark Grey Knights please.

[@ForgeofSouls]

you deserve far more subscribers. This was an amazing tutorial on every level. 10 out of 10

[@DailyDanish768]

Absolutely amazing and highly impressive. Truly jealous of your talent, and there I was thinking Ultramarines were boring - not anymore!

[@Treppenwitz_]

What an incredible video! I just discovered this channel and holy crap this was top notch!

[@bmohr9826]

I saw the paint list and immediately winced. Don’t have that kind of money to buy that many paints quite yet but I will still watch with interest. I’m always looking for new techniques and ways to improve

[@Licher_]

Just get the main paints you need and like you said, work on your technique and skill! you can always come back to them in the future and repaint them :)

[@grantmurchison2679]

Nice work! Easy to follow too

[@QuotidianStupidity]

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.

[@martinnordling4812]

this is the most amazing mini i have seen !! amazing man !!

[@jorgeotaola5859]

I didn't see it mentioned in the video whenever he gets to metallic paints, but an essential tip is never to mix your cleaning water and brushes for metallic and non-metallic colors. the shinny bits/sparkles from the metallic will get onto your brush and make your non metallic colors be shiny.

[@e0fx]

Where can I get that awesome head? Super nice paint job! Subbed and excited for more!!

[@VoidForgeMinis]

absolutley beutiful model, i think this would look great on carcharodon space marines, I would LOVE to see that 10/10 video!!!!!

[@Pargie81]

Thanks a bloody lot mate, i watched this video and then decided i must redo my leviathon imperial fists and copy your grimdark ultras. Great video ;)

[@TheVenom46]

Stunning work, you've got a subscriber for your awesome grimdark style and presentation! Would love to see a Flesh Tearer in this style

[@QuintonWatsonDesign]

I've actually got a model that I'm planning on using for a Flesh Tearer, I just have to find the time to actually paint him up!

[@BaconGold790]

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.

[@Zwenguard]

I would love to see a similar vid for Dark Angels... you have my sub - excited what comes next

[@QuintonWatsonDesign]

I am working on a Successor Chapter of the Dark Angels called The Angels of Defiance that may scratch that itch! thank you!

[@Rasmus.Elnegaard]

Great video and great paintjob! Would love to see your take on the Dark Angels.

[@dylanbaur5449]

Fantastic work as always. I’d love to see how you’d do a black templar!

[@tipsytengu]

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.

[@paulofreire7520]

Awesome job, my man 👍🏻 It’s a pity that this model was only available in the leviathan box. Very cool

[@diyfireking]

How awesome, such a great work 🥰🥰

[@escherleduc9567]

This model looks great.

[@peevita723]

[@Pat315]

This was amazing. Would love to see this in 2k or 4k quality in future. Such a good format for painting. Please do grey wolves in grimdark when you can :)

[@Matt-md5yt]

he looks awesome. thanks for this

[@Corrie-WH4095]

Amazing work! I'd love to see your take on Crimson Fists as I'm about to start my own 😬

[@ridcoiong1434]

Magnificent! Master piece.

[@VodKaVK]

That was so good! Thank you for this! I'd love to see som AoS painting if you ever get around to it! All the best!

[@QuintonWatsonDesign]

I've got a Ratling Warpblaster heading towards me that ill do, I'd love to do more AoS but not sure how soon I can get to it. thank you!

[@CaimanAlphaFoxtrotMike]

ive been having trouble with painting grimdark. my attempts arent convicing and just look “badly painted 😂” i will def base my army with this as standard! maybe not use every paint but def heavily inspired by the steps mentioned!

[@CaimanAlphaFoxtrotMike]

im amazaed by the camera setup!

[@bear0907]

Amazing!! Great painting! Thank you.

[@fjdexx]

Great paintjob. thx for sharing

[@noahward9445]

That Vallejo Imperial Blue looks so foamy. The final result is nice.

[@QuintonWatsonDesign]

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!

[@dannoble4196]

Ultramarines have never looked so good!

Awesome, dude!

[@codyconrad7245]

Might be a dumb question, but what/where is that right arm with the armor from on the model? Thank you in advance!! Awesome work!

[@arklight3447]

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!

[@philthymofo]

what brushes do you use - those tips are pinpoint ! and amazing work

[@somewhereyouarent]

Great job Q.

[@somewhereyouarent]

Dude I really like that helm, Q. He looks 10x more badass with it.

[@bravo2325]

Very like your videos. The model looks very nice

[@Jd-ci8gl]

Great video, would love to see your take on grimdark death guard.

[@CHlEFKEEF300]

Love your style of painting! Do you think you will ever do a deathwatch marine? I would love to try this on one of those.

[@Sjakkel]

Looks awesome dude, I hope you'll show how to paint a heresy era world eater sometime >.>

[@nickrushton6899]

Would love to see some grimdark Deathwatch!

[@nomad5346]

It would be nice if you make grimdark blood ravens and carachadons astra - btw in my personal opinion your tutorial are the best, i paint by my own idea, but always when im stuck in your tutorials there is all times solution for my problems

[@alessiorivano9306]

Fantastico!

[@Joe_Smo]

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?

[@MikiBorow]

this is soo good i go buy my first miniatures :D

[@mavl4250]

incredible ! a grimdark deathwatch or inquisitor ?

[@FullMetalAnus]

What type of sponge is that? I love the finish

[@wengeance8962]

what a beast

[@broncoBACON]

I've watched this like 5 times

[@Kalas1024]

Nice Job! Where's the head from?

[@messergabel]

Perfect ❤

[@dwwolf4636]

Personally I like the slightly older artwork that trended towards a lighter ultramarine that had a more Mayan blue glow ( greenish tinted ) over all hue. This is close. The newer artwork tends towards a deeper ultramarine color ...but it tends to lack visual depth IMHO.

[@dante_1014]

Subscribed at like 4:59. Lovely work

[@floriansticher9912]

Hey - thats so amazing. I'm google-ing my pants off to find the model or the conversion pieces. How did you do that?

[@HollowSovereign]

You should really try one of the JoyToy 40k figures.

[@TheTechima]

Sir, would you mind to tell what figure is that Ultramarine? I loved it and would like to buy one. Best regards and excellent work of yours!

[@TheTechima]

I found out, problem is find where to buy to delivery here.

[@YouAreAsleep]

Looks amazing. But that paint list is insane. Almost the cost of a whole army lol!

[@QuintonWatsonDesign]

@@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.

[@Blue_Maxxx]

Where did you get the 3D printed helmet from?

[@Senor_Elegante]

Fantastic video! I love that head too, do you know who makes it?

[@aaronjones4464]

That is perhaps the sexiest space marine I've ever seen

[@latch9781]

That had damn well better be a cosmetic option in SM2

[@toi_techno]

Cool

[@solebydesign]

so awesome! can you do grim dark tsons!?

[@enemyofthestars]

great! how to paint Custodes in grimdark tho?

[@John2A]

I dream about own a 2000pts army painted in this style

[@SaaboTheHun]

Gimme a Grimdark Black Templar!! With a Helmet also where did you get that sick bone shoulder pad?

[@QuintonWatsonDesign]

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 :(

[@dorogundam]

Can i know where you got the 3d print of the helmet? I've been looking for a primaris marine helmets without the mouth vents.

[@kgeo2686]

How many coats do you do of each base color and metallic?

[@MikePhumanaut]

Any accurate idea what the imperial and magic blue colours would be from the AK range?

[@RM_3D]

Is that a conversion? what's up with the bone armor? doesn't seem like something Space marines would use. look cool though.

[@TheMichaellathrop]

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?

[@BioClone]

CTR lines would be too thin to made by hand on that scale, however would be interesting to get a custom transfer sheet printed and used in place.

[@OpenHeadMiniature]

lovely. Ive just subscribe your channel!

[@EdisonLaw9811]

Could you please tell me where did you get the head?

[@schaeferkosman3416]

Could you show us how to make blood angels grim dark? Thanks

i would love to know where the helmet came from
