Hey everyone! Today im going to show you my process for painting a Raptors Intercessor in the grimdark style! Give it a watch and let me know what you think!
Great work. One tip if I may, prior to washes, varnish using gloss instead of matte as you do in this video, as washes and oil paints flow into the recessed areas and details much easier over gloss than they do over matte. (There is less surface tension with gloss) You can always give it a coat of matte varnish after the washes. It may just make your cleaning of the washes stage a little easier. 👍🏼 cheers!
@@robp5141you’re right though, a gloss varnish before the wash is perfect to help direct the wash into the appropriate areas, and it can always be dulled down later after all the final details with a nice protective matte varnish
Fantastic video , great content, it’s so nice to see Raptors becoming mainstream. They’re now even supported by GW transfers. Thank you for inspiring work.
As others have said you can get decals for the shoulders, the one on this model I 3D printed, but you should be able to find someone on Etsy that sells 3D prints of them as well!
One technique I started doing (more so on fully armored models since cloth isn’t shiny lol) is I will varnish the armor with a gloss spray let it fulled dry. Then add decals or any faces or additions that aren’t metal to the model and final step is to spray it with a matte finish. This gives the models armor a more muted sheen to it that can make your models armor look genuinely metallic without being stupid and tacky in contrast. A nice added effect is it forces the light to naturally blend whatever lighting shading you’ve painted on
Also have you tried priming them with a dark brown instead of black? Just curious. Over all tho this is now my official raptors painting tutorial for my models! Great video! I Subscribed and even hit the bell!
Thats one way to do it! I personally don't like shiny armor, its just no really my thing so i don't use gloss varnishes that much. But that is a interesting idea I a may try it for myself to see how it turns out! Thanks for the suggestion!
@@stephenrichardson8529 Black has always worked out best for me, I guess i have a fear of other spray paints not working as intended so i always just go for black 😅
I get that. I think it can give a good contrast for sure to certain chapters depending on their colors giving the armor itself a very light sheen and then adding your dirt and mud and rust with a matte
So nice! I wonder where the raptors should pad is from...? 3d printed? OR bought. Eighter way, do you have a link the file or the shop? Cool paint sceme with the base green. Really nice man!
Very cool to see one of the lesser known chapters to get a video, especially in the grimdark painting style. If I may be so rude: I'd love to see you do the Exorcists. I just subscribed to your channel and am looking forward to your next videos
Looks awesome! You got yourself a new sub. If you could do a grimdark Leman Russ video, I'm in dire lack of this type of instructional video for such a vehicle.
I painted some dark green Tau models like this going for a Master Chief armor type look and they just look black on the tabletop without adding some extreme edge highlighting. I am curious what this would look like without studio lighting.
That's a nice Raptor! I've been wanting to try out some enamel products and other oil paints but the white spirits tend to make me a fair bit woozy and tired a bit too long after I use them. So I think I'll have to stick to the casual grimdark liquids, Nuln Oil and Agrax Earthshade. You might already know this, but VMC Refractive Green is also a solid dark military green, it has become my go to base color for schemes like this one :)
Excellent video, I really like the military color scheme of the raptors and would love to see a tutorial for the raised base which had exquisite detail! Noob question, but what is the purpose of coating with maxx matt twice?
Rust on the helmet did a great job of achieving separation, color contrast with the blue lenses is really nice too! I think your bases could use a bit of spackle to cover up the cork sheet's.. sheetyness? not a word but you get the idea.
Thank you for this video. I'm new to Warhammer and painting minis in general. I plan to use this style to paint my first minis. It's also super helpful that you did one of the Raptors minis because their chapter is what I've decided to start with. Where did you get the miniature, or did you print it yourself? Great job!
I clear coat my base colours before adding oil based washes as well; just peace of mind if I have to apply multiple oil finishes and solvents. Also, make-up sponges from dollar stores are great for removing and working oils. They're super absorbent, you can cut them to different sizes, and the best part is they don't leave lint behind like cotton buds can.

Great figure I will use this method to paint my raptors but I will change it up a bit to make it unique
Wow… I don’t think I’ve ever seen a miniature so detailed…
Love the work you do! Keep it up man!
Great work. Definitely using this for my raptors.

Except you get a completely different effect, and lose a lot of the filtrering from the washes. What he's doing is just fine.
@@aanler okay man thanks for the tip 👍🏼 I’m relatively new to miniature painting but I’ve been painting larger scale custom figures for a good while.

You just earned a sub. This is the best tutorial! ❤
My only question is, where did you get the Raptor shoulder puldron?
Had the same question! The black helmet with the blue eyes adds so much personality to the design, love it.
I bought the new space marine elite command squad or whatever it is, and it came from the factory with a raptors decal sheet

Looks pretty badass to me brother lol great video!
I've yet to paint my Raptors so thanks for this guide :)
this is awesome.
Cool

Really looking forward to your take on the Death Korps of Krieg!
Can you start giving us an idea of the consistency of the paint when you are using it? For instance, are you thinning the Iron Warriors paint at all?

Yeah, ill be honest, i didn't put as much work into the base as i should have lol, but thank you for you comment!
I'd be really interested to know where the pauldron with the 3D Raptor logo on it came from.
I've been on the fence about trying my hand at painting minis. This gives me the umph to take the plunge though

I see raptors and I press like
Where did you get the raptor pauldrons from?

Hey!
What helmet did you use here? It’s awesome!
Hey! So I 3D printed off this helmet that I got the STL's for, but I have seen some sellers here and there on Etsy sell similar helmets!
Nah mate looks sweet, if I had one nit pick base is to a little bit to much height wise.
What would happen if it was based in brown instead of black?
That'd be fine, I just use black cause that's all I use for a lot of stuff
@QuintonWatsonDesign I have some rhinox hide equivalent spray and I was thinking of stippling on the green to get a weathered look in the recesses
Please Paint a Iron Warrior
man wish I watched this before starting my Greyjoy archers.
I'm looking for a solid White Scars grim dark. Seem a few, but not to your level. Would really like to see if you can do a white and red in grim dark.
