  • This warhammer 40k Ultramarine Gravis Captain gets a grimdark make over. Oils, Dirty Down Rust, chipping lead the way in weathering this model to place it in the universe of warhammer.
    I stripped the model with simple green and Ak stripping

      Also, you're right - very decent paintjob at the start.

    I love the idea of slowly upgrading your ongoing figures over time, repainting, adding battle wear and gore... I feel like it really adds to the overall story of the figure VISUALLY.

  • @akumaonduty3446
    @akumaonduty3446 Год назад +1

    In my personal opinion, Grimdark is the feeling of wear and tear, seeing something that was brilliant in the distant past and that now is no more than the shadow of what it once was, that is why in the grimdark style contrast and contrast are so important. the rust detail

    I love this video series.
    A well meant tip. I find it easier to let an ultrasonic cleaner do the main work of stripping the model.
    I got a 3l steel ultrasonic cleaner (where you can also select the temperature and waveform/intensitiy) . I fill the tank with regular water. In the warer bath I drop a llvery lossely fitting glass bowl. In the bowl are the modells in methylated alcohol or what ever you use to strip the paint. I set the cleaner at 25°C max Waveform and 45min cleaning. Afterwards usually I just need to rinse and brush of remaining very lose paint. But most of the paint dissolved in the mean time.

    Grimdark to me is about weathering and, gore and age without drawing away from the readability as an art subject.
    High resolution textures, high contrasts and soot/dirt/grime all techniques that lend to the mood!

    I think you hit the right notes on the Grimdark model.
    Desaturated colours, adding grime, rust and blood, and higher contrast between the dark and mid tones.
    Some people also limit the variation in colours to neutral and earth tones

I've spent 13 years of my life in active wartime service and it never ceases to amaze me how when there is war most of the world is still peaceful..Space is too big.

    The first paint job wasnt bad, but the deeper tones and range on that armour is just too good. The cape is also pretty boss, but i might have gone a different color set for the cape, as the clash of red and blue i find slightly distracting from the grim dark theme. Purley a personal asthetic choice however, your skills are not at all in question here. Lovley work.

  • @zipp4everyone263
    @zipp4everyone263 Год назад

    Really nice painting job, however not roughed up enough imo. Technically flawless and gorgeous but id love some physical damage done to the armor, going through the number of probable battles that guy has been in, taking inspiration from the amount of bashes taken, kinds of monsters encountered and then try to replicate the experience in an armor that likely never sees extensive re-painting.

  • @toyboxlemonza3293
    @toyboxlemonza3293 Год назад

    Another great way I used to add wear is a small triangle file to put chunked and chips on edges and a small dremel to add rears and holes in the cape, it's amazing what you can achieve by just hacking it up.

  • @murgel2006
    @murgel2006 Год назад

    Grimdark to me is superbly expressed by the clean and bright look we find in the painting style of 2nd ed. as opposed to the brutal, goriness of 40k's reality. The futility of fighting against inevitable defeat. My preferred method to do this is to mix pristine, shiny minis with those clearly showing signs of combat in one army, one unit.

  • @dolphinboi-playmonsterranc9668
    @dolphinboi-playmonsterranc9668 8 месяцев назад
