This Video will turn you into a Space Marine painting GOD.

[@Picosaurus]

As a regular viewer, I’m commenting to show the algorithm how much I enjoy these long form videos! Maybe my experience will help it reach more viewers 😅

[@Nigelius]

I think the thing that I enjoy the most about your work is how you consistently present the rationale to your approach, it’s less a case of “do this, do that” and more “here’s why I’m doing this”. It makes your videos infinitely more easy to digest. Also your explanation of what you interpret as grimdark goes a long way to explain your approach in the first place.

[@Astrospill]

I wish he did them in separate videos. While it is interesting to see his rationale and how he reached certain conclusions sometimes I just want to see painting tips/tutorials and don't have time to watch 2 hours of hum "figuring it out"

[@jason2089]

​@@Astrospill There are dozens upon dozens of other channels doing short videos. You seem to want something that is easy to find elsewhere. Should a youtube channel switch styles to be like all the others?

[@trovarion]

​@@Astrospillall of these videos are available as seperate videos on my channel? 🤔

[@Animaedamnatae]

Grimdark isn’t about the end results, it’s about the friends we made along the way.

[@L3GHO5T]

The journey brother!

[@ShutUpWesley]

That sounds like the complete opposite of Grim Dark. What you said is more Amiable Light😅

[@peterclarke7006]

Friends? FRIENDS?!?! HERETIC!!! FETCH THE FLAMER, BROTHERS!!!! THE *HEAVY* FLAMER!!!!

[@gregorysmillie2008]

Enemies we made along the way. No friends.

[@JonBius]

Thank you for taking a deeper look at Grim Dark than just " slosh on some streaking grime". It really is more of a mental and emotional aesthetic attempting to convey the hopelessness of the reality in that imagined time. I appreciate the work you do and the thoughtfulness with which you approach it.

What if your chapter of Space Marines are clean freaks?

[@torok8974]

@@DiggitySliceyou can make it clean and dramatik, you do not need mud to be dramatik

@@DiggitySlice You could have really shiny and clean armour with bright blood or something that shows the emotionless, "robotic" side to Space Marines, perhaps?

[@WD4wg]

The biggest thing I get from watching your videos is just to trust the process. I often get too hung up on avoiding mistakes and I end up not pushing the paintjob further. I'd love to see you do something for space Wolves, Grey is a hard colour to get interesting!

[@chris-k6v]

i cant count the times i watched this .its such a pleasure watching the best mini painter on u tube . the technique , the explanation . you have helped my mini painting go to a new level .thank you

[@Typhoonatlas]

This 1 video tells you 80% of what you need to do for most painting. Amazing stuff

[@SgtVennamo]

I have been binging on painting videos lately, after coming back to 40k from an over a decade hiatus. Your skills and the results are astounding. Thank you.

[@Canty117]

I've been working at a blue-grey colour scheme in this style adapted to my own tastes. Thanks for inspiring me to try something different after 14 years of doing similar things and not having the courage to change things up. I realised after painting my second mini that I'd been falling out of love with the hobby and this has been just the thing to rekindle the joy I felt when I first started.

[@thedonkeysmonkey3586]

What colors are you using? I‘m think about doing a similar thing for Space Wolves. A transition from a darker grey into a grey blue

[@MrSquidshark]

'Don't be afraid, it's only paint' thanks, I needed to hear this.

[@wolf40k]

I'm going to paint my marines as Legion of the damned, but I've held off as I haven't seen a black armor scheme that I've liked, this was awesome. It's exactly what I needed

[@mapleflavouredsyrup]

As a relative newbie to the hobby, this has been fantastic in making me think/move beyond the same old steps!

[@Typhoon_FGR4]

This couldn’t be any better timed. I’ve already watched your Grimdark videos several times over in preparation to try the style myself. Now I can watch this and procrastinate painting just a little longer!

[@scenczyk1429]

I think what you were describing about not viewing painting as clearly defined stages transfers to anything in life, and using your understanding of something to be more fluid with your actions is so beneficial. It's also such a massive confidence booster using your own knowledge

[@Magmadon]

Dude casually drops a nearly 2 hour painting vid. Holy crap! Thank you man, gonna give this a go for my Howling Griffons!

[@EtBr1978]

The difference once the model is properly dried always amazes me! I don't know anything about mini painting but from hours of watching youtube videos! I really enjoy just watching the process!

[@michaelbrian219]

Exquisite workmanship, beautifully painted and weathered.

[@Velcraft]

Here boosting the algorithm, I don't usually watch grimdark painting videos so passed on these when they first came out - glad I checked this one out, turns out your approach is more in line with my interpretation on grimdark paintjobs. Here's how it's done, folks!

[@marksutherlandjr.2121]

More than any other artist I follow. I'm never quite convinced while the work is happening. But when the finished product is shown, I'm BLOWN AWAY!! NOthing encapsulates this more then Trovarians grimdark necron. Will forever be my favorite paint job. I've rewatched that video hundreds of times. Edit: No one should ever be in a hurry when painting a Primarch.

[@garycarney484]

Truly amazing as always. I would like to see you do Grimdark with the different chapters of chaos space marines. Thank you for what you do. 😊

[@coreyburge8663]

Yes me too, about to get into 40k with Chaos Space Marines!

[@ovan2190]

This is definitely one of my favorite series you've done. It's helped me try to be more aware of where I place colors but also with experiment with how I paint I even started mixing contrast and shades. This was fun to watch all of these in one video

[@TheDebildriver]

Your,, grimdark" videos are simply amazing, i'm always looking forward for the next one

[@svendironheart6073]

I wasn't actually looking for a grim dark tutorial, but I thought it sounded interesting! I just started painting, and this really gave me some ideas, and techniques to try out on my sylvaneth army! Thank you so much man!

[@King_of_Sofa]

You're probably the best space marine painter in the world

[@JumpyWizard00]

I'd love to see you do this on a Chaos model! Seeing how you would incorporate your grimdark style to metallic trim would be great!

[@nikkizerocool9101]

YES!!! THE ULTIMATE GRIMDARK PAINTING VIDEO!!! Thank you for this, my favorite is still the Black Templars 😊

[@khyron6]

Wow, Great job. Your one of the Best I've seen. Thanks, You Rock. :)

[@kyledavis7353]

This is honestly the most fun I've had painting a space marine. Would love to see you use this method on a chaos marine

[@SnowTroIl]

Excellent deep dive into this painting style. I love it!

[@KevinoftheCosmos]

I've never wanted to follow a walkthrough for painting a mini as much as I do with this video. Boutta go bust out some paint. I own 1 single Blood Angel that I pulled from a Space Marine Heroes mystery box, and I want Brother Lucien to look exactly like this.

[@an0nycat]

*Our favorite Austrian artist with the mustache.*

[@ivorybow]

In the late day of 2024, I just now discovered Warhammer. It only took a few days before I knew it would be a glorious obsession. Thank you so much for getting me started learning to paint. Very helpful!

[@moognothing5341]

YAAAAAS, love your painting style, your videos have had a a profound influence on my painting and desire to paint, glad i get to see more of the process

[@z3r0tonine]

Amazing work, both painting and teaching other pigment pushers!

[@Xaltotun]

This was perfect listening for my painting session!

[@beemo1579]

Awesome to have it in one video. These videos have competely changed my painting style. Can't go back to factory fresh any more.

[@StefanTarras]

I'm loving your videos. Total newb here but I find much value in watching your techniques as it gives me ideas on how I can make improvements. Thank you!

[@TheDutchMitchell]

Thanks for making this and putting them all together. Learned so much! Would love to see your take on a Dark Angel

[@djvertical]

You’re painting skills are second to none - so inspirational! I loved the texture on the Black Templar, although I felt it looked more blueberry than black, but still defo want to try it. Fantastic job as always! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@MrMarbolous]

I love this. The Blood Angel is sort of a template for my Word Bearers Kill Team right now. I would very much love to see this technique on some models with more details such as trim (CSM) or maybe just decoration (like Custodes). Anyway I really love this and the fact that you teach things that are approachable for beginners and intermediate painters and which are also fast and have the potential to grow with practice. In contrast I feel that I am much more limited with a technique like slap chop when it comes to "growth".

[@Monstein]

Been excited to watch this! I could not bring myself to watch it before out of fear of wanting to restart my LVO army and now I am preparing for next years it is a perfect time to watch.

[@tyezvex1608]

Love your work and proud to support

[@FoxhoundRegimentClan]

About to paint my first set of Imperial Fist HH. I've some experience weathering 3D prints (I build Mandalorian Armour to wear) and I wanted a style in my miniatures that looks lived in too and this is perfect. Thanks for the really in-depth, easy to follow guide.

[@MrAevans3]

these are so great. I would love to see how you might apply these techniques to chaos marines, with all of their trim, especially the red and black techniques

[@jtrain9926]

Good point, anything that makes that filigree less excruciating would be great

[@thewispo]

Man! this is totally the way I'm taking my hobby. These pieces are fantastic!!!

[@kevinarchibald6757]

So glad I found this video. I've been looking for more realistic looking techniques than most of the other miniature channels use. Also been having issues with my metallic golds having odd consistencies compared to other paints, and painting over the silver is a brilliant fix to the issue

[@dongalt4203]

Sweetle, I prefer a similar style. You gave me a few techniques to try out and keep things fun. Thank you.

[@keithmofley8275]

Im so glad your still making videos. They alwaus inspire me to paint and to try new things. Thank you!

[@BombatGeneral]

I’ve really learnt to look at my models in a different way because of your vids. I don’t see a surface that needs a colour anymore I try to see the gradient of colour in the scene. Probs obvs to others. Thanks for the vids!

[@maxxammax0]

Oh Trov posted a video *>Sees length of video* Oh we in for a treat.

[@anthonyadkins7487]

I have a new favorite technique!

[@jeffcapes]

I feel like the black templar highlights could easily be knocked back a step with a black glaze just to bring everything back within that "black" range

[@JamesHuxford]

I played this all the way through just to help then went back to the bits I needed a great vid

[@trovarion]

Thank you!

Can’t wait to watch this in full, in full detail.

[@conquest4211]

Been big fan of this series since came out. This truely how image warhammer to feel and look. have (no prob with peoples ultra clean, but doesnt always missing dark feel) Every time you post new one these always give me urge to paint

[@Grimmlocked]

so i haven't been able to play many gamese of warhammer lately and was looking for a way to get more solo time out of my hobby...... and you helped me realize a way to get more enjoyment out of my hobby was staring me right in the face.... actually enjoy painting my minis and not just slapping and chopping them as quickly as possible. Thank you! thanks to you i paint for about an hour before bed on weeknights and am enjoying painting more then ever... still not good at it but i'm having fun!

[@helikontex2467]

My guide to my space marine minis. Love the scope used on these models

[@matthewnungesser5638]

This was the almost exact method issued on my orks back in the early 2000s, and I had tons of wonderful painters tell me that this method is garbage and they would never do that on their space marines.. now, since videos like this have come out, most of them are starting to paint this way..

[@Mello_me]

honestly thats the coolest imperial fist I've ever seen

[@JustAnAnonymousDude]

you asked what your next job should be.. please do the underrated Tau!! I see so little about them! Yet they have very interesting models to paint!

[@VikingGrazers]

That Salamander at the end was beautiful. I miss my mini's but physically couldn't hold a brush to paint and couldn't afford to commission so that's my 40k over >_

[@grimdarksun]

I'm doing my part! (also, I've used these tuts more than a few times!)

[@zramirez5471]

Man I love watching these: I think I'm going to use this technique for a pair of Wraith Lords...

[@n64ufoman]

This is great to have on the background while painting lol

[@figurehe4d]

These results are incredible.

[@danbalderson4977]

I like this, but I feel it might have been interesting to emphasise a contrast with the bolter; we expect the armour to be banged-up and dirty, but as with modern forces- a soldier has to depend on his weapon- it would have been trained into him from the start to look after it and I think it might have been interesting to have the bolter close to pristine maybe with some wear around the magazine well, etc just to show how much care the marine is giving to his holy bolter 😊

[@rain4825]

I come from the community post to let this run in the background as I've seen the individuals uploads already. Consider this comment an additional tribute to the almighty algorythm.

[@jgnunan]

I appreciate your time with these videos, as a newb, your work is approachable and understandable. I love the brush and feel sometimes FOMO as I do not have an airbrush. I feel better now. Ok mostly better. Thanks from Minnesota. Also... if you come to visit Ninjon or Miniac here I will pay for a nice pizza dinner.

I tried to do the shadow with the airbrush with sepia for "white" armor and it was also very nice.

Great vid ! I'm struggling atm, trying to make it not look like just a shitton of dots... Not achieved quite what i wanted yet, but i experiment and try things i would've not think about and i thank you for that again. I'm quite new but keep it up, don't fear wanting to do complex things, but don't focus too much on the result, focus on the practice and the fun you can have. Keep it stimulating !

[@lordcommanderminis]

Excellent tips! Thanks for sharing.

[@DG16045]

I wonder if the Black Templar would benefit from a thinned-down coat of Black Templar contrast paint (or similar) to help the blues read more as blacks? Could always re-highlight areas that lack brightness / range.

[@Nolsie]

I want to see this but with Grey Knights or Iron Warriors where they are generally based metallic by many people!
