Don't worry too much it's just a tabletop piece: proceeds to casually paint a miniature to a standard I could never hope to achieve trying my absolute hardest haha. Amazing work!
@@TierDrama Dude, seriously? This model is like a fricking painting. I saw it over at Reddit it I didn't believe it was a mini at first. Every stroke is as precise as it can be. All of these gradients and effects make it look so perfect.
@@FlameJackstar I hope you are joking. of course it looks good...its fucking freaking richard gray. but have a look around at his more serious stuff and other painters...jesus christ. www.puttyandpaint.com/projects/20593 instagram.com/p/CBWaseah-eh/
✅ Skill demonstrated that are widely applicable to ALL color schemes. ✅ Calm informative commentary, ✅ commentary on own work, and best practices? Dang These videos are the best!
I just did my intro set of Intercessors using a lot of advice in this video. I'm really happy with my with how they turned out. Especially for my first 40K models, and not doing any modeling in probably 36 years. Thanks for the help! Great video.
I really like this style....it is full of texture, grim dark, but a controllable type of grim and dark and the final effect is very realistic, thank you
This always pops up when I search for inspiration to paint my ultramarines, really nice. Besides everything else, I am still amazed about the control with calgar blue. I made some proper baby blue marines in the past :) I also just skip it these days and go straight to fenrisian grey.
I recently got into miniature painting. Being a chaos guy myself, i chose as my first miniature a Great Unclean One. Iv been having a blast painting it but its not anywhere near perfect like the works of Richard Grey but I now have something to truly work towards. If i knew what I know now going into this I would have painted some of these pieces before gluing stuff down but in a few years when i learn more I will absolutely be picking up another Great Unclean one to do a comparison between where i started and where i end up.
I love seeing content like this from you. I really have to try to do more grimdark. I love the style but in the past I've become too comfortable with the clean Eavy Metal style. Great inspiration to give it a go.
Amazing to see your process. I've been working with oil washes on miniatures for a few years and I can recommend using small make-up sponges with thinner to remove the washes. It doesnt leave unwanted fibres like the cotton buds do. Saves a lot of hassle, but they tend to be more absorbent. Awesome work and truly shows your masterful control and experience as an artist.
Absolutely phenomenal table top mini, captures that grimdark feel perfectly and still carries your signature look and feel to a T 👍 from someone who moved to studio scale modelling for years before coming back to minis, it’s really nice seeing all the techniques starting to blend 😎
Love this effect. I find it much more in keeping with my idea of how they should look rather than the edge highlighting bonanza you see on other models that end up producing a Tron warrior appearance!
1st video of your channel. Fantastic video! Great that you tell folk what the "extra" / over-and-above steps are. Keeps an easy to follow consistency. Great video and great to see things like oils and transfers used
Me: getting bored of RUclips.... RUclips: Richard Gray? Me: I love RUclips!!! Great content, a joy to watch a master painter!!! learnt so much more watching just how you work the brush over the model.. thank you Mr Gray!!!
For gold I use a mixture of vallejo gold and copper (6:1 ratio). It makes a warmer gold than the pure one, close to the color you used but with better coverage.
I really enjoyed this. Kudos for advertising on FB... was totally unaware of your channel. So yeah. Perfectly paced video. Great technique. If I could just aim that airbrush like you can... thanks mate!
Model looks great. One tip for Vallejo Metal Color gold - Make a mix of 3 parts Vallejo Metal Color Copper to 2 parts Vallejo Metal Color Gold. It makes an amazing rich gold color. I keep a small pre mixed bottle.
FYI, Micro set is basically just white vinegar... for anyone who doesn't want to pay for that. just get some white vinegar from the kitchen or from the dollar store. works exactly the same.
Love the paint scheme again, loving this series of video's. My one C&C is the feet don't press into the ground, so it looses some of the feeling of weight.
I absolutely love this. The only thing I have a minor dislike for is the initial stippling step adds the rough texture to the gold areas of the paint job and I don’t like the way it looks. But I think the textured look looks great on the blue parts of the armour. 🙌🏻👌🏻
Very interessing method overall. Also the gold choise is pretty interessing even if the covarage is not ideal, But I feel the light stipling part (18:49) could be used in place of the airbrush step, IMO prepping an airbrush and cleaning it after just for 3 quick passes is to laborious. The gradient as you said is better on airbrush but you can always glaze the hightlights.
Fantastic tutorial!! I’d love to se a tutorial on how to paint salamanders instead, so to understand how to properly highlight black shoulder pads, which for me are difficult to paint!
Wtf I’ve spent hours on one model and it looks awful next to this, this is so awesome very well done you’ve really inspired me to try these methods and practice more 😎
Been watching this over a load of times. I have a lieutenant calcius model from conquest magazine I'm planning on trying this on. I have some makeup brushes that I'm hoping will be a good substitute for the dry brush you've used fingers crossed

This is hands-down the best painted model I have ever seen in my entire life.
under which rock are you living? ;)

@@TierDrama ... Well, okay then.
@@FlameJackstar Almost nothing is overly precise on this model, that is the whole point of the video and the techniques demonstrated :)

Long in depth videos are so undervalued, so I find this so useful!

Impressive! Looks very grim dark, but at the same time not dirty, like many other "grimdark" miniatures. Thanks for sharing the tutorial!

This is an amazing way to paint ultras without them looking "boring". Brilliant.

He is just brilliantly talented.
Utterly stunning Richo, sheer brilliance.
Your tabletop standard is ridiculously good. Bravo.
This has me so excited to try. Wish I had an airbrush. Going to try the same stipple style with the other 2 paints

Just starting out in the hobby, watching this with a breakdown of techniques and paints used is incredibly helpful and inspiring - thanks so much!
Did anyone else fall in love with the dwarven gold by the end?
Absolutely phenomenal table top mini, captures that grimdark feel perfectly and still carries your signature look and feel to a T 👍 from someone who moved to studio scale modelling for years before coming back to minis, it’s really nice seeing all the techniques starting to blend 😎

I’m so glad I watched this! I haven’t painted up much of my death guard and I think these techniques would work great with them!
I love the texture you gave it
So cool! You're my new internet hero. Amazing work.
1st video of your channel. Fantastic video! Great that you tell folk what the "extra" / over-and-above steps are. Keeps an easy to follow consistency.
Great video and great to see things like oils and transfers used
this is exactly what i was looking for with my little ultramarines army, thank you!!!!
This is so fire, i paint grimdark so this is great brain food for my journey to this skill level
I have to give this a go. Looks really good; higher than table top for sure. Thanks for the vid.
looks great! Its the subtleties that really make it ~ very good attention to detail
Thank you Richard beautiful table top model
Beautiful process! And results
Watching your work is something else learning alot to add to my arsenal of painting knowledge thanks for the videos look forward to the next
Wow... I am going to be painting my ultramarine's like this.. thank you so much !!! Can you do a Grimdark Gulliman next ?
As always an astonishing work! Big Fan of Yours
What a nice surprise finding you on Youtbe doing tutorials, looking forward for more, thank you for the content
awesome to see another step by step process from you, keep up the great work
Me: getting bored of RUclips....
RUclips: Richard Gray?
Me: I love RUclips!!!
Great content, a joy to watch a master painter!!! learnt so much more watching just how you work the brush over the model.. thank you Mr Gray!!!
I’m over the moon that RUclips and Squidmar recommended your channel. Your content is incredible 👍. Thank you 🙏

Lovely cinematography 😎
Saw this figure on instagram, unbelievable good!
I really enjoyed this. Kudos for advertising on FB... was totally unaware of your channel. So yeah. Perfectly paced video. Great technique. If I could just aim that airbrush like you can... thanks mate!
Same, need to cross promote some more. I see some fb posts and follow on Insta, had no idea yt was being done.
the final result looks amazing! it looks just like a painting

Your Painting skill is awesome, your Marine looks so real, very good. I try it for myself with one Marine I have left. Greetings from Germany.
The most beautiful space marine I've ever seen! Love your stuff!
lovely work this, thanks for the vid. My next SM paint will be ultramarines, and they'll be GD style for sure
This guy truly is Emperors finest. Great job!
Love it ! I want this for my future Dark Angels.
Great job, this space marine looks really cool and all of the steps were well explained. Thank you for sharing.
Looks beautiful.
Awesome work, 2,5 hours including drying times! Sheesh, I got some way to go!

That is an amazing paint job. Blown away. You make it look so easy too.
Lovely work Richard. Thanks for posting these here!
Wow, love that texture!
Love your videos, buit the swalloing sounds drive me nuts.
I really would like to see more grim dark from you... maybe even a higher level of details, like you mephiston mini. You are an insanely good painter.
Thanks for a Night Lords colourscheme
Absolutely phenomenal.
Thanks so much for this Rich, great one to try for someone like me trying to up my game but also paint 50 models! 🙏🙏
Absolutely amazing
Awesome result with a simple process!! I love it! Thank you.
Gorgeous.
The decal tips were rly helpful!
Love love love these recent videos! Keep them coming!
Awesome work.
Loved watching this, cheers Richard.
So satisfying
Absolutely amazing. Thank you
Put your micro sol/set into dropper bottles. Those things tip over so easy
Great Video! Looking foward to try this technique.
Excellent technique combining stippling, airbrushing and oil washes. Very effective with nice depth and texture.
Very interessing method overall. Also the gold choise is pretty interessing even if the covarage is not ideal,

I guess you missed the part where he mentions this is probably best to do in a “batch process” 💋
It’s beautiful 🥹
Can we get crimson fists next.
Fantastic tutorial!! I’d love to se a tutorial on how to paint salamanders instead, so to understand how to properly highlight black shoulder pads, which for me are difficult to paint!
As always great work Sir!
Very good work.
Amazing job. This is far beyond tabletop quality
Incredible work.
this looks amazing
wow. these were very short 3/4 of an hour. good looking mini. cheers
awesome work dude
Brilliant that is mate.
Interesting video try out vallejo's liquid gold range, I think they are good paints
Thank you for uploading!
FANTASTIC!
Wtf I’ve spent hours on one model and it looks awful next to this, this is so awesome very well done you’ve really inspired me to try these methods and practice more 😎
I NEED that brush
Amazing job!!🎉❤❤❤
Fantastic, easily becoming my fav RUclips, keep going! That sub count will catch up to your work in the near future
Pure art!!!
Been watching this over a load of times. I have a lieutenant calcius model from conquest magazine I'm planning on trying this on. I have some makeup brushes that I'm hoping will be a good substitute for the dry brush you've used fingers crossed
What primer did you use? Its so nice and matte
Great work! As always!
That was amazing !
