Howdy Folks! Hope you guys enjoy this one! Due to the shipping of Villainy Ink Enamels I will be absolutely covered up in work for the next little bit so this may be the last video I personally post for a little while. Don't worry though Dark Ages Workshop will be the man to bring you the Grimdark goodness until I return! I appreciate you all! Catch ya in the next!
Awesome video. Lots of inspiring stuff to look into trying. Thanks! And congrats on the partnering
You guys are awesome. Love your whole approach.
Great stuff again and some excellent tips to try out!
Glad you enjoyed it!
very excited to try out the new paints
Ty ty!!
That's it I purchased the all set on pk-pro and can't wait to try it. I will watch the videos to get the better of this new product 😁
Awesome! Hope you enjoy it!
Can’t wait for my ink to arrive. Worth the wait!!!!
I appreciate it!!
Really appreciate that you partnered with pk pro, congrats!
Thank you, too! I'm glad I was able to, and Felix was a huge help.
Agreed, finally get to order them without paying an arm for shipping
Amazing advices❤
Glad you think so! TY TY
Great vid !!!
Ty ty 😊
Can not wait to get my inks!!!
HYYYYPE
Love this video! The theory is very useful. Also, is there a way to buy your enamels in CAD? I live in Ontario
Can buy direct atm. I am looking for Canadian distributors!
Thanks again for another wonderful video Zat! Take your time with your new project and looking forward to the next video.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you.
Do you have a distributor in New Zealand or Australia lined up yet? I'd be keen to try these out!
Contact Grimdark Gaming.
I really love your videos. Do you ship your Enamel Wash to Italy?
Yes we do, but you can also get them from PK-PRO
Be patient?
BE PATEINT?
Okay. Patience activated. 😂
Good luck with the packing, mate. Sounds like you've got a nightmare ahead. Good luck, and I look forward to receiving mine from Element Games.
Question: clear acrylic bases are acceptable for grimdark miniatures or they are some kind heresy!?
Nah. I don't guess. I use them when I have to.
@@GrimdarkCompendium Hi and thanks for your reply! I've asked because in whole web I don't see any "grimdark" miniatures set on clear / transparent bases.
Btw. Did you have any photo (example) of your miniatures with clear bases? I'm really interest to see how it looks like.
Thanks in advance!
Congrats man on getting the hookup with Element Games. Been a fan of the channel for a long time and subbed to The compendium. This is a great step for fans of this style and pushing the art form. Keep it up!
Much appreciated! Byron has been a huge help. Thanks for being a member, I you enjoy our work.
Thanks a lot guys, I've just ordered your full inks range from PK-pro.
I am very happy to find a way to paint my miniatures in a different style.
Great to hear! We appreciate it!
These inks seem shiny how do you get a Matt finish?
Thin with 3 parts mineral spirits. But, the feedback has been noted, and batch #2 has less base, which should fix that issue.
I have an army of mesbg orcs painted in contrast paints that I always wanted in this style. Could I achieve this style over the already complete painted orcs?
Yeah, you can always add weathering and stuff to something a little more grim.
hmm, ok! so an ink wash over them would create the desired effect? i guess ill buy some and do a test. What ink of your range would you suggest?@@GrimdarkCompendium
@@georgeste Goons Grime is the best for general purposes.
@@GrimdarkCompendium thanks for replying and taking the time :)
@@georgeste no problem at all.
Awesome video, definitely pre ordering the full set bundle from element on payday.
Hope you enjoy it! I appreciate it!!
Great candles on the tank. Source?
28mm Candles from Etsy
Great job! Looking forward to getting the inks! :)
Ty ty! Which ones did you get?
I bought the full set! @@GrimdarkCompendium
@aslbaron1 Nice!!! Whwre you located?
US/TX@@GrimdarkCompendium
@aslbaron1 okay! Awesome! Thank you for your support!
Awesome stuff!!
Ty ty! I appreciate it!!
Another great video on this style :)
I appreciate it! Are you painting grimdark?
@@GrimdarkCompendium I have not purposefully or been requested (via commissions) to, however due to painting anything, my historical side sees a lot of realistic weathering etc so it's not too far removed.
I am following your socials and website and I'm looking to gain 'Grim Dark' knowledge into my options.
Are these going to be available in Japan?
We ship worldwide. But have no distribution in Japan.
Thanks for the quick reply, it’ll probably just be easier to stock up before I move.
@uro13 I should let you know that all new orders will have a shipping delay due to how many last-minute pre-order there were. If you are moving very soon, let me know, and I'll see what I can do.
@@GrimdarkCompendiumI appreciate it, I’ve got some time before moving so can exercise some patience. Thank you!
Ooh, definitely going to be grabbing at least a few of the Villainy Inks!
Awesome! I thank you, kindly!
@@GrimdarkCompendium thanks to you as well, from what I’ve seen these are pretty much the perfect enamel products for me, something I’ve been hoping for for a good time. Looking forward to the release!
@@user-qg4st8ih1d oh yeah?! Is it the lower toxicity?
@@GrimdarkCompendium that is a nice plus (might be helpful for trying to convince some friends to give them a try), but it’s more the specific tones/colours you’ve chosen, had very poor luck mixing up my own and sadly have run out of the older formula streaking grime I used to use.
@user-qg4st8ih1d ahhh. Yeah, the Grime is on point for sure. If everything goes smoothly, I will be extending the range of colors with 7-10 more colors.
outstanding thank you
I appreciate it!! You been trying out Grimdark?
Can you use the inks that are for pre order with a brush?
Yes.
I saw an ad on instagram for your range and ordered them there. Been starting to get into enamels over the past year, and I’m excited to try colors outside just streaking grime and dark brown. When they arrive I’ve got a terrain set that will be great grimdark practice.
Awesome!! I appreciate it. I'm glad you're digging enamels. They are a really great addition to any paint collection.
I see that cannibalized Tallgeese shield, you monster.
Hahaha 😆
Agreed story is everything when it comes to making really cohesive models even if they arent grimdark. Great tips my friend, cant wait to purchase the villainy inks 🤘
Thanks for watching!
Love to see some new vids on Khorne/World Eaters or Emperors Children with the new inks. Great stuff as always
I appreciate it!! I may actually have a Kharn the Betrayer to paint up for a tutorial soon.
very cool!@@GrimdarkCompendium
@Primogen1988 I would want to do a crazy kitbash. Make him a little bigger and better pose. I'll probably spend a while looking for the best bits to use.
sounds good. Looking forward to it. Really wanna see a new take from you on the color scheme.@@GrimdarkCompendium
Will there be an Australian distributor mate?
Grimdark gaming. Send them a message and let me know if they get back to you.
Any one in Australia stocking the inks mate? Excellent video. The style is bonkers good.
Grimdark Gaming. Contact them and let me know if they get back to you.
Where can I find the skin recipe at the 14:00 minute mark ?
That is from our famous Mordheim series. You can find it on the website.
@@GrimdarkCompendium Thank you
Thanks for another informative video. I agree about DD Rust, yet it's biggest downside is that it's very difficult to varnish because it's water soluble, but that can also be used to effect. If anyone has any tips on how to varnish it though please do tell. There's several products out there that are great for grimdark painting yet refuse to be varnished or reactivate with water, like DD Rust being one or Windsor and Newton drawing inks, haha
Cheers
I wouldn't varnish over weathering effects. Kills the effect a lot of the time. But if you have to use lacquer varnishes.
Thanks for the tip, any Lacquer you could recommend? Just realised Laquer has shellac as does the W&N drawing inks so maybe thats the answer for them, haha. Thanks
@@GrimdarkCompendium
PS would love to know if you have any general tips on varnishing grimdark miniatures, that would make a good video. Thanks again.@@GrimdarkCompendium
@brockvenator2299 I like Alclad aqua gloss and Testors Dull Cote
Many thanks indeed. I'm in UK but will try and find those.@@GrimdarkCompendium
Cool vid
Thanks!!
Take my money!
Do it up!! 😊
Is the extremely dark lighting deliberate? It hides too much of the painting and makes it difficult to appreciate the work properly. While it may be intended for photography of the completed product, segments showing the painting process should be filmed in brighter light.
100% a lot of guys in the grim dark community just hiding crappy and sloppy paint jobs with under exposure the fotos.
Hope the inks get rdy for shipping soon .. would like to see some other content-providers reviews before I order.
Yeah, I'll send some out to content creators, too. Just as soon as I can.
No, I wont be patient! work faster xD
Haha. Working 💪 hard!!
@@GrimdarkCompendium can't wait to try them out! Look sick in the videos you've posted
*inhales* Boi, Pre-Order @ Pk-Pro just started! *throws money at PC*
Go get it boi! Just heard from Felix. He said that orders were coming in hot!
@@GrimdarkCompendium If they don’t perform I will be coming for you, Boi. 🤣
@@christiangruening352 haha.
