These new Enamel Washes Will Change the way you Paint Miniatures

Ahoy! The launch of Villainy Enamels washes has arrived! Watch the video, visit the Grimdark Compendium website, and LOAD UP!
Check out Villainy Inks: grimdarkcompendium.com/villai...

[@seither2k]

Can't wait to get my hands on some. Now invent a cotton swab that doesn't leave threads all over my models and I'll give you a million dollars!

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

haha. Thank you! I'll work on that!

[@iplaygamesnude-5683]

Disposable makeup brushes. They works soooo good

[@christopherheintz2634]

The cotton swabs you use for cleaning guns. Swab-its are also excellent (washable). They're designed to clean up gun cleaner residue, mineral spirits and enamels won't phase them. I accept cash and money order only. :-p

[@christopherheintz2634]

But seriously, cotton swabs geared towards gun cleaning. Very tightly packed, most have nice firm points to let you get specific areas. Alternately, buy Tamiya craft cotton swabs triangle small, part TAM87106. Pricier, but you get from a trusted manufacturer.

[@oldoneswithdice]

I use makeup wedges and cotton swabs made for electronics

[@virgilromero3252]

This channel was the reason why I made my own washes after streaking grime using oil paints and various combinations to create certain effects. I was not part of the initial start up, but I will be a customer because those washes are beautiful and I can see myself using them on a regular basis. Edit: I did not realize you are Canadian, I am in Ontario and this just solidified my purchasing power because you will be getting my support

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

That's awesome to hear! I appreciate your support!

[@Scribbinge]

That packaging looks truly spectacular. A+ to whoever did the design work on that.

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

Ty ty! I had a blast making it.

[@Zolerous]

So happy to see you launch your own enamels and I’ll be picking them up once you’ve secured a UK seller. Also looking forward to seeing some demonstration videos for sure

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

Haha! Thats awesome! I appreciate it!

[@inigomontoya6968]

I've never worked with enamels before, but I'm familiar with oil washes and how those are used. These look great but I'm still a bit fuzzy on the proper reductive method you're referring too. I look forward to watching the demonstration videos. I'm also eager to see if there's a recommended undercoat for better application, such as a gloss varnish which makes using oils more optimal.

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

Thank you! They are much different than oils. I'll have the demos up soon. In the meantime time you can watch the learn grimdark course. It's covers enamels and the reductive technique.

[@LordFawful13]

Congrats, they look amazing! Do you have plans for distribution in Europe/Spain? If you need a product review in spanish, count us in!

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

Yes, we are looking for distributors in Europe. Once all that is hammered out, we will begin sending out products for review.

[@dahSweep]

This sounds great! Would love to get them, but the price for shipping to Sweden (and the inevitable import costs that we get when ordering from the US) along with the bottles themselves would be a little too expensive for me. For others in the same situation, that are looking for something like the old AK Streaking Grime, I use Ammo by MIGs Streaking Grime. It has that reddish-brown that the old AK one had. It's not perfectly the same, but very similar if I remember correctly.

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

No worries. Thank you

[@NicothyRaven]

Very happy to see these and will be buying them in the near future. I do have a question I hope you could answer, why is the From The Vault Death Guard video no longer freely available, I was super inspired by it and bought everything to start painting my minis using that video as the basis and now that I have everything and was ready to paint this weekend its no longer free to watch? Bit sad as I feel as it was free for so long and now that Im finally ready its locked.......

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

Every video that is part of the course material on the Grimdark Compendium website has been moved to membership. Members of the Compendium pay to have access to all these tutorials so we can't have them be free on KZbin.

[@NicothyRaven]

@@GrimdarkCompendium I can appreciate that but it was free on KZbin for 2 years. Pretty disappointing to have it locked behind a paywall seemingly out of nowhere as I hope you can see where I am coming from.

I've purchased all of the available ones thus far, looking forward to seeing them. So they are different to other enamels in that you don't use other solvents to remove them, did I understand that correctly? Put them on and remove without spirits etc? They look really vibrant unlike other weathering enamels too, nice job.
