IRON WARRIORS || Easy Grimdark Style Recipe for Warhammer 40,000 Chaos Space Marines

[@Matt-md5yt]

Awesome. Glad the Iron Warriors gotten some love

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

@@Matt-md5yt we are happy to do them!

[@speaktome4778]

I think it's great that you called this "standard" or "easy" grimdark in the title & thumbnail. There's some people who want to gatekeep what the style is but what we really need is a spectrum of the grimdark styles. We're all one big grimy, battle-worn family here.

[@TheFeralPainter]

LETS GO!!!

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

You da man!

[@MitchinMalta]

Damn man...for me this is such a perfect characterisation of what I have read of them in the books and how I see them in my head. Keep these videos coming; so inspiring.

[@bobbystickel5107]

Just... WOW! I'll never paint Iron Warriors, but I learned so much that I can apply to my Undead, my Star Wars Legion minis, and more. Excellent video!

[@ianspeare539]

This is exactly how it should be. Just taking small tips from each video to apply to your own minis

[@MyWorshipIsWarfare]

Just started Iron Warriors, so pumped to try some of these techniques - especially that cast iron!

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

Have fun!

[@TuShan18]

Feral painter! Love your work too

[@Crushanator1]

That glue plus green stuff combination looks GREAT. Never seen that before and I'll definitely be using it for ork armor

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

Iron within, iron without! Superb work Nate 👌

[@yaelagulto9746]

Iron Within. I love the grim darkness and all the weathering except of the rusting. As Iron Warriors have the dour duty to always make their equipment clean and rust is the enemy. Wonderful guide! Especially the green stuff cast iron warriors. Let's Go!

[@DewayneMcClure-bm2pj]

Usually yes, as they even as unsupported Grand Companies still construct and maintain corrupt manufactoria. However, not every warband of the Iron Warriors is located on Medrengard as splinter warbands exist, some are in exile or nearly extinct as of the Dispute of Iron in M34, and can't properly maintain their gear or build facilities to manufacture replacements/rearmaments.

[@Yashu1105]

Awesome brother. Iron within, Iron without

[@withDefiance]

Truely amazing paintjob. Its not precise but still very complex!

[@JDean1995]

OMG YES!!!!! Amazing work, please more!

[@Paranormal-Stupidity]

You did a great job on that one. I love the conversion too. Thanks for sharing!

[@TaylorWatson-f8i]

This is exactly what I'm going for, model and style.

I think that cast iron look is something I'm going to steal forfantasy orcs and chaos!

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

Do it!

[@commentingisdangerous7530]

man, grimdark gets some heavy hitters on here. nothing but home runs.

[@8Scientist]

PERFECT TIMING. I've been thinking about converting gravis Marines to Termies for iron Warriors

Wonderful again! Get well soon Dark!

Ahhh the best legion, fantastic!

[@TheFeralPainter]

Thankyou

The best!

[@Ben-rq5re]

This looks class pal, I’m definitely going to give that cast iron effect a go! The inks are on the never-ending shopping list too..

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

@@Ben-rq5re ty ty!!

[@nikot.9920]

Phenomenal recipe! Love the use of the AK True Metal Metallics on this piece as well. Love using those products on my knights. Still need to acquire the Villainy Inks however

[@XthetrooperX]

For the cast metal look I can also suggest „Mr. surfacer“, that’s the scale modelers choice for rough looking metals like WW2 Soviet tanks etc.

[@niallskinner7800]

Going to be using this to add some new depth to my Aggressors in my (definitely not loyalist Iron Warriors) Marines Malevolent army. The kitbash alone is fantastic, let alone the incredible texture work and paintjob!

[@TheRedBrethren]

i didn;t actually dare to dream my request would be answered, and so soon! Love it, now i have three different colors/styles to do my army

[@pileofshamehobbies]

May the Emperor's healing light shine into that most grimmest and darkest of Workshops!

[@Ryuondo]

The Liquid Green Stuff technique can also be done with Tamiya Putty and Tamiya Extra Thin followed by a fine grit sand paper. It might be easier to get than a Liquid Green Stuff since its available from Amazon.

[@jorgenpinoy1724]

[@Megametalwolf-g9w]

Fantastic

[@SWATDRUMMUH]

I guess it would make sense for chaos to loot the newer armor now with the incoming primaris

[@IaintHappy]

The same effect can be achieved with Tamiya putty by mixing it with extra thin glue for gluing models

[@Dad-bodgaming]

Would be great to see you paint some warmachine

[@Dharleth82]

A lot to ask, but can you guys do a Black Legion Daemon Prince?

[@Dharleth82]

@@GrimdarkCompendium I wish I could heart your comment back! In a world where GW seems to be going in an increasingly less grimdark direction, you guys have single-handedly got me back into painting the minis.

[@MTG_John]

Where can I get the custom iron warriors hear you used?

[@Dannythaline]

Its a kitbash

[@erykzwierz1629]

Wondering how true metal works on bigger surface like tank

[@Dannythaline]

Work awesome!!!

[@MultiCyberAngel]

Do you know any examples on Instagram or some painters from Facebook group? Just to know what you're getting into when investing in them. Tanks are different beasts after all, with big, flat areas.

[@Dannythaline]

@@MultiCyberAngel i use them all the time buddy. They come in a tube. So plenty of paint. Feel free to search them yourself 👌🏻

[@MultiCyberAngel]

@@Dannythaline Nah, I've got them and used them with a satisfying result. However, I was curious to see how they behave on flat surfaces. I want to paint Spartan for IW, but not sure if brush painting it using true metals is worth if over airbrushing it. Thanks man, I was just asking because they don't get a lot of love in Warhammer community. Even Feral Painter didn't use them on his iron warriors.

[@Dannythaline]

@@MultiCyberAngel ive used the ak extreme metals before they work a dream through airbrush

[@FlowBran]

What about Transfers and your inks? I have watched quite some of your Videos now and want tontest out the inks that habe arrived soon. Never have seen Transfers being applied in the Videos

Iron warrior in gravis armor... I knew all this time that they were loyalists!

[@stg.wendigo1655]

When Skaven?

[@andrewcoates5681]

I genuinely love the Iron Warriors and their themaric playstyle of lots of vehicles and next to no demons and the disgust of any mutations, which they then cut off and replace with bionic parts. The problem is that GW have lumped them together in the generic Chaos Space Marines codex and hasnt given them any nice models. I don't feel that the aesthetic of IWs fits with the standard Chaos Space Marine models. The only way is to kit bash them, which can be expensive as well as disastrous if your conversion goes wrong

[@georgee9250]

Literally been at grim dark for years and I still can’t use a Q tip without taking paint what is the secret! Lol

[@zhdirjfnfb]

Same, use the little make up sponges instead, infinitely better.

[@commentingisdangerous7530]

pressing too hard?

[@Crushanator1]

Varnish first?

[@BlackChaliceStudio]

The main thing is making sure the acrylic layer you apply the enamel over has had sufficient time to cure. Secondly it’s just about lightness of touch and technique, I favour gentle tapping motions no back and forth or pushing / pulling. Hopefully you’ll get the hang of it!

[@HotShotZX]

The only thing I would have done is trimmed the knee pads so it reads less as primaris. The top is a solid change overall, but those Emperor damned kneepads make it too obvious it's Primaris. Other than that, really good stuff

[@LeviathanDoom]

I've used the MIG ammo dark wash and it just doesn't seem to want to dry/cure. Hair drier has been on and everything, it's staying glossy and far too easy to remove. any tips?

[@tam653m]

I'll take Nate any day.

Honestly, what kind of fucking q-tips do you guys use? Cuz anytime I remove oils/enamels with a q-tip, the model ends up with 6,969 fibers all over the model

@@warsmithonyx4622 just takes practice. I have to remove fibers sometimes.
