Painting a grimdark Ultramarines Primaris Lieutenant (just drybrushing, detailing and washing)

[@FogOfGore]

The Streaking Grime video is now available here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZrWip2Ja5WGZtE Go check it out if you want to learn three different ways on how to use this amazing enamel paint. I use the third method described in the video there, just apply with a brush and wash it off with white spirits with a brush.

Great looking poster boy, my poster boys are also painted very simply and look decent, I might weather them more really adds that extra step, great video.

[@FogOfGore]

Thanks! Just a bit of dabbed on Leadbelcher and a light wash of Streaking Grime adds so much. The good thing is that you can always add it later after you have finished painting.

[@stefan020290]

Looks good, but I would suggest some things that will also save you a good amount of money in the long run. Replace Armageddon Dust with one of Vallejo or AK interactives basing materials. They cost a bit more, but a single pot has over 200 ml rather than just then 30 ml GW gets you. Second, for the dust effect on his shins I would suggest either pigments or the cheapest solution, crushed up Pastell chalk. A cheap box cost about 6 Euro on ebay and provides you with a ton of colours in earthy and rust tones and some more out there like blue or green. Really good for the grim dark look. And last tip, maybe missed it in your video, mix your gold tone with a bit of silver and drybrush you gold with it to give it some extra age and definition.

[@stefanscholl1985]

No edge highlights on a Space Marine - that almost sounds like Heresy but it looks so good. The temptation is real.

[@Liberation_from_the_matrix]

The blue with just the teclis blue looks like a good start for an Emperor Spear marine. I guess nuln oil then another light drybrush of teclis blue could be good, because grime wash would darken it too much.

[@FogOfGore]

For the Emperors Sprears I would go for a drybrush of Hoeth Blue. It's just a bit less bright than Teclis Blue and probably comes closer to the colours for them.

[@Blue_Dingo]

As I am about to work on Ultramarines, I love this, but as my other Space Marines are Blood Angels, I would really like to see what you do with them.

[@FogOfGore]

Absolutely! I'm getting to them soon :)

[@joshuagraham5422]

Awesome stuff 👍🏻 Will try and apply it on some intercessors Could you maybe do a tutorial on a plague marine from the pallid hand?

[@FogOfGore]

Cool, man! One of my first videos was a plague marine and pox walker of the 2nd plague company that the Palid Hand is part of. Maybe you can get some inspiration from that in the meantime? Check it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZCwinh7iMh2bcU

[@FogOfGore]

The legs and torso are from the lieutenant from the Dark Imperium box. Those leather straps in between are from the Ultramarine upgrade kit.

[@ZFBEGhost]

I just build my first Dreadnought, because i love the figure so much. But now I am heavily feared of messing the whole miniature up at my first try to paint something. I am soaking your vids up, but that doesnt replace experience^^

[@FogOfGore]

Yeah, it's scary. I just finished Be'lakor last week, the biggest model I have ever done, and that was still scary for me. At some point you just have to take the jump. Practice a little on some smaller models and work your way up. And don't forget, if you keep the layers of paint thin enough you can always spray over it again and start from scratch.

[@ZFBEGhost]

Would love to know how to get my hands on those heather tufts they look great on the base but I am not sure geek gaming sells anything like that at the moment? any suggestions for alternatives with a similar look? Also which base ready did you use on this it really looks great with the armageddon dust.

[@ahoymatey1234]

Do you think the AK streaking grime step would work on a tank?

[@H_11115]

I have a question I’m painting a black legion army and I was wondering if I could use decals with streaking grime or will the white spirits make it chip

[@Sketchy_jeff]

This is truly masterful work, excellent job! I am going to paint my Ultramarines with this guide. For the AK streaking grime, is there a particular one you used for the dusty look?

[@rootsenglish4287]

Is this model still in stock? I can't find it. Looks amazing.

[@FogOfGore]

It's a slight conversion. The original model is the lieutenant from the Dark Imperium box set (no longer available), but the helmet and the leather straps between his legs are from the Ultramarines Upgrade Pack (the original one, not the Primaris one that lacks all Greco/Roman flavour) here: www.games-workshop.com/en-EU/Ultramarines-Upgrades-2020. I think you could make something very similar with a standard intercessor and the Ultramarines upgrade pack.

[@GoodSirMathew]

hi loved the video I'm gonna use this technique for my entire army, quick question though what ratio do you use when you mix the AK streaking grime with white spirit?

[@FogOfGore]

Thanks! I just use Streaking Grime straight out of the pot and then wash it down with white spirits. The best I can do is point you to my full video on Streaking Grime here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZrWip2Ja5WGZtE where I explain three ways to use Streaking Grime and exactly at this point kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZrWip2Ja5WGZtE?t=543 I show the method that I use for my Ultramarines.

The Roman vibe actually makes me want to paint up some Smurfs and i hate them lol

[@FogOfGore]

Hahaha! I hear this so often! Everyone hates the smurfs because they are the poster boys, lack grimdarkness and/or are kind of bland in the lore. They just lack that flawed hero aspect that almost every other space marine chapter has. With a bit of kitbashing though, you can get an awesome Roman legion vibe. If you like this... wait until you see my Bladeguard Veterans :)

Aaah, the heretics. Cool, what do you play? The bits are from the Ultramarines Upgrade Kit, not the Primaris Upgrade Kit, but the regular one. The helmet and shoulder pad can just be glued on, the leather straps required some cutting and shaving. The beltbuckle and his cod piece had to be scraped off.

Have been thinking of getting back into 40k for a while, this is the push I needed. LOVE the grimdark theme! Have you tried any of those weathering pencils like the ones AK do? Was wondering how they preform.

[@FogOfGore]

Thank you! It's great to hear that I could give you that bit of inspiration you needed. I had never even heard of their pencils before you mentioned them! 😃 I just took a look and it seems like it's really for making display models? Not sure though. I would be constantly afraid to rub it off while playing so you would need a varnish, for sure. I'll give it a try some time in the far future, but for now I still have a lot of their enamel paints and washes to try out and experiment with.

[@loken9124]

Great Vid! I love the look of this guy. How would you do Deathwatch character, same as the Primaris Chaplain?

[@FogOfGore]

Thanks! Yeah, I would do the black the same as the Chaplain and do the silver with Stormhost Silver, washed with Drakenhof Nightshade then drybrush with silver again. I'm making a video for a Deathwatch intercessor next week!

[@loken9124]

@@FogOfGore nice ill be watching :)

[@tylercannon1210]

Thanks for this. I'm starting a squad of blue boys and I'm going to use this recipe. Do you mix in some white spirits with the AK streaking stuff in a small pot or go back over the model with like a q tip or something?

[@FogOfGore]

Oh man, I can't believe I left that out of the video! I go over the model with white spirits as I apply the Streaking Grime. I have the brush and the pot of white spirits already open, so just wash out the brush in the white spirits and then go over the model until the wash is in the recesses. I have used the qtip technique before and I feel it is just a bit too much work for too little gain. If you are painting a display model or really want to go for top quality you might get better results with the qtip, but I paint for the table top and with the brush you get a result that is perfectly fine.

[@Castillo525]

I have a question, what would you recommend to get started with AK enamel washes? :( I want some but idk much about enamels, do they offer some of these spirits? How do you clean your brushes with it?? 😭

[@FogOfGore]

Hi, I am going to do an introduction video on enamels and in particular Streaking Grime soon with all this information, but for now I hope these answers help. White spirits is a solvent that you can buy in any paint hobby store, DIY store and even in the supermarket. It works in the same way as Methylated Spirits (made from alcohol and poison) and Turpentine, but it is less flammable and less irritating to your skin, eyes and lungs. If you can't find it anywhere, then you can get it from AK Interactive as well, they sell small bottles, but they are more expensive than what you can get in the supermarket. When you paint with enamels you use the white spirits instead of water. So you can use it to thin down your paint and you use it to rinse your brushes in it. Exactly the same way that you clean your brush in water. Just make sure you work with enough ventilation when you use White Spirits. It stinks and it isn't very good for you to inhale the fumes all day. Let me know if you have any more questions! The video on Streaking Grime should be done some time next week.
