Painting simple grimdark Blood Angels (get your army on the tabletop quickly)

[@ISVIK2000]

Recently got into the tabletop and I got to say, your channel is a breath of fresh air in the painting space. It really gets frustrating when I see how to paint videos with 10+ paints for a single model. Thank you for these videos man, they really help a newbie get motivated to paint an army. Keep up the good work. The Emperor Protects !!

[@FogOfGore]

Thanks, man! That's exactly what I'm trying to show people. You don't need a large collection of paints and with some simple techniques you can get a decent result.

[@TheTungdil2]

Love those battle damage marks and the dusting.

[@FogOfGore]

Thanks. Super easy and quick to do once you get a little confident with drybrushing.

[@dimitris2936]

This is the best looking space marine I’ve ever seen.

[@FogOfGore]

Thank you!

[@davidhuang2070]

Extremely helpful . Now I will paint an entire army with your method.

[@KAZBEATS]

Awesome! Well worth the wait

[@FogOfGore]

Thanks, man. Happy to hear :)

[@chuan6292]

Been painting for a while and always hated how my bloodangels looked, this tutorial has honestly save me from hating them anylonger

[@michaelgeorgeduddy6153]

Fantastic mate, love your work, simple but really effective!!

[@FogOfGore]

Thanks a lot!

[@travislankford9254]

Thanks for posting a link from Reddit. Awesome work!

[@FogOfGore]

Thanks, man!

[@Duo_20]

I prefer and recommend this over slapchop

[@FogOfGore]

Yeah, me too. You get a more gritty and slightly grimdark feel like this.

[@40kwarriortuber92]

great vid, I used a similar technique to paint my Charnel Guard!

[@egidijusp4123]

Yes, finally! I was waiting for this grimdark Blood Angels tutorial! Your channel is like a treasure trove for me. Keep going!

[@jackdipompeo7732]

Best blood angel speed paint I've seen so far

[@crustythewanksock2413]

Nice!

[@tommyblve3010]

Amazing!! Im about to start painting again after a 10+ year break.. Will definitely be using this to help me start painting my blood angels 🩸

[@FogOfGore]

Go for it! I came back after a similar long break and it's still an amazing hobby.

[@alrethianscraftsbattles]

I am going to be using this technique on my chaos space marines, my World Eaters (Not the Horus Heracy era)

[@FogOfGore]

Yeah, it's perfect for them too. Just highlight the red with the base colour Khorne Red and don't darken the black too much and you'll have a World Eater

[@Bobfett1982]

Could you use this scheme on a Blood Angels dreadnought? And would it look good with an oil wash?

[@FogOfGore]

Yeah, absolutely. I would add some more details to the dreadnought and use the decals that come with it though. Otherwise there is goong to be quite a lot of empty space. You can add those later though and see how it goes first.

[@Inconvenient_NPC]

I always had a tough time understanding the ranks of blood angels. This was a great video by the way. No streaking grime though? 😮

[@FogOfGore]

Not this time 😀 occasionally I like to keep it as simple as possible. As few paints, brushes and techniques as I can with still a decent result. Perfect for beginners who are painting their first minis and if you don't want to spend another 100 euro on paints after you just bought a 50 Euro box of minis.

[@jacksonpierce943]

how did you apply the armagetton dust to look like that

[@FogOfGore]

On the base? It's armageddon dust washed with some agrax earthshade. On the mini I just drybrush on some Zandri Dust to make it look dusty.

[@marbelastra1675]

Awesome video!! Definitely going to help!! Was just wondering if you primed the mini, and if so, what primer did you use? :D

[@FogOfGore]

Thanks! It's just primed black with Citadel Chaos Black Primer

[@j_scriv5686]

Great video! Thank you. I have a couple questions: at what point should I add the transfers? And what colors would you use for the yellow, blue, and gold helmets? Thanks!

[@FogOfGore]

Hi! Transfers are tough with this style, because if you don't paint over them they will look like the stickers that they are. If you can work neatly, I would apply them right after doing the highlight and then paint over them a bit to make them better fit with the other colours on the model. Go over the blacks with some Eshin Grey or Eshin Grey mixed with Abaddon Black for example to get them the same colour as the trim. For yellow I would use Averland Sunset, washed with Agrax Earthshade and drybrushed with Averland Sunset again. Runelord Brass washed with Nuln Oil for the gold. Thunderhawk Blue washed with Nuln Oil and drybrushed with Teclis Blue for the blue.

[@renzelldelacruz5412]

Do yo dry the dry brush or keep it wet for basing drybrush?

[@FogOfGore]

The brush is dry (I don't use water) but there is a lot of paint on it so that the first layer is done quickly.

[@renzelldelacruz5412]

Do you water down the paint?

[@FogOfGore]

@@renzelldelacruz5412 no, not with the drybrushing. That is just straight from the pot. For the detail work I use a little bit of water.

[@renzelldelacruz5412]

Thanks I’ll give it a try
