This changed the way I paint forever...

- Today I'll show you how to paint a Dark Angels Bladeguard in a Grimdark Deathwing bone armor scheme. Today this is considered a very traditional approach but back in the day when I stumbled over it, it really revolutionised my painting and how I think about application of paint, and storytelling with miniatures.

This channel is about painting miniatures for your warhammer, infinity, warmachine & d&d games, as well as age of sigmar and warhammer 40k. space marines, space wolves, sisters of battle, stormcast eternals, beastclaw raiders, mawtribes, cities of sigmar, chaos space marines. Also painting different scale models and miniature busts! How to paint NMM. How to paint warhammer, how to paint D&D figures.
Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh, my God. It even has Decal Transfers.
Do you like Huey Lewis and the God emperor of mankind brother?
Love this take on Deathwing armour, and the statement about Grimdark being an aesthetic rather than a technique. Experimentation and utilising/discovering new techniques is part of the joy of the hobby for me.
Good points. A lot of things like NMM and dramatic lighting are also not techniques, but a result or effect. How we get there is a matter of experimentation followed by experience. :)
This ended up being one of the best marine painting videos I've ever watched. The range of techniques, the way you mix paint, it's next level.
came to say the same thing
Came here from North Of The Boarder. Instant subscribe. Love watching people who are so insanely good at their art.
me too
Damn, I don't want you to cut down the fluff of the video. The step by step, full process is what I love about this! It's how I really learn!
Maybe have the "main video" short and sweet, and then post the longer ones in a separate channel? Call it Trovarion Deep Cuts or Trovarion Happy Hour, but please, post the longer form!
Completely agree!
Big ditto! There's so few long-form painting videos that really help me grow my technique. Having a shortcut with a verbalized description just isn't the same!
when I say fluff I mean me being on camera or fancy filler shots, etc.
I think allowing the die hards to trade deep knowledge for some money over on patreon is perfect. It's a win for the fan, and for the creator
Does painting tyranids in a grim dark style make any sense?
5:49 I agree. Reads like snow interestingly enough.
Probably one of the best painting videos I have seen on this platform.
My young daughter says: “You put a lot of work into that and it turned out really good. Well done. You are ridiculously good.”
What is your daughter's name?
What I love about this video (and a lot of your tutorials) is the end result looks absolutely amazing, and also the process looks very achievable and easy to follow. The ‘techniques’ are not overly complicated but I definitely wouldn’t have thought about it by myself
Thanks as always!
First time I encounter your channel, I see an extremely teaching video on painting deathwing armour, green cloth, decal chipping, basing, sculpting a hood, scratching shoulder pads and shield,...all. Very very good content.
Couldn't understand the title yet, though.
You got good content, the title made you click it. Both parties happy.
Sorry to hear that UA-cam isn’t pushing your videos. There’s so much really interesting information and advice in your videos and I sincerely hope that you can continue to make them. All the best!
Thanks! it is pushing most, but the painting videos usually underperform. I don't mean to sound like I blame youtube though, I think I know what the problem is and I just have to change things around a bit :) manly make the videos more precise/shorter for more engagement.
I really like the way you display the paint/colour on the side when you are talking about it and using it on the model.
Bro…I’m so happy you exist and are willing to share your knowledge. Thank you man. I know how much effort goes into putting together a video of this hobby. You’re amazing 👊🏽
Might be the best weathering tutorial i've seen. Congrats.
I'm trying to restart painting after 10 years. I'm not really into speed painting and have the mini just ready to play. It's nice that you show all those technics and explain what it adds and the result is just amazing.
Awesome! Looks simple but fantastic outcome
As always to very impressive and helpful. Thanks, Trov!
This has been a great inspiration for the blade guard I have! Thank you 🙏
Love the shoulder pads. I’m not sure what it is but there’s something about that look that just hits. You’ve got me thinking about giving it a go. I will say I nearly had a heart attack when you took the knife to the shield, lol.
This is the best Dark Angel mini I’ve ever seen.
Love the battle damaged decals! When you first showed off the models, my initial reaction was "OMG, how did he achieve that look?!" You made it so simple, yet so effective
Thanks for showing how to make standing GW figures truer to the feeling that comes from the audio CD's and some of the Books!
Excellent Educational experience and that's down to yourself !
The shield made me ridiculously happy. I sat here smiling at the process. Amazing
Love the look of your weathered armor with all the decals
stunning job. absolutely LOVE the tone on the armour
Love the simple act of removing various trim pieces and sculpting a hood. Little things can make a big difference; our conversions don't always have to be super ambitious.
Love the heavy weathering. This is an effect I have been trying to get down. Your video will be helping me do so. Thanks!
love the purple shading on the green cloth, great idea
best painting tutorials on YT. always love to see a new vid from Trov!
Your greens in this - both the robes and and metallics - are sublime.
This was recommended to me, and I subscribed. This is probably the best space marine painting video I’ve ever watched, and the easiest to follow in terms of how you do things and how you explain it. Excellent video
Just want to say That since I have started to watch your videos, I have started to change the way I paint. Which is great, I am still learning a lot. Keep up the amazing work, and Thanks for inspiring me.
👏🏼 Amazing final result, you never disappoint!
That decal work is mind bending, can;t wait to try it myself.
Mezmorizing. This tutorial gives me some great ideas to try to get my deathwing looking more grim..... and dark.
That is a phocking beautiful piece.
Wow.
You really really sold me on how to use decals better, unbelievable. Thank you so much!
Looks good! I find painting or observing someone who paints very well very relaxing for the mind.
A delight for the eyes. Thanks!
Always wicked looking paint jobs. Love the comments as they make you feel that you can copy and work along with the process. Love the close ips so you can see what’s going on with the brush tip , sponge etc.
The final mini looks fantastic! I'll be sure to try and use some of the weathering techniques you used with my own miniatures :) Great work!
I really like how that turned out. And i always watch the whole thing. Love your work man.
Gotta stay and watch every second for the channel!
Incredible job, very well done. Love the weathering and combat damage
This format is awesome. Camera work and cuts are spot on. Such positive advice. Thanx!
That's incredible mate.
Thanks for such a wonderful tutorial.
Loved the montage, as well as the FULL LENGHT of this video.
Okay , I’m blown away . One of , if not the best paint jobs I’ve seen on a space marine . Especially pulling off that creamy white of the death wing and weathering it to perfection .
Also so many damn techniques being used ! So many things I want to try out now ! You sir , are a master of your craft and also a terrific teacher . Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills with the world !
Bud you are awsome. They look soo good. Love to see wot you done with vehicles.
Those decals/chipping look so great. I'll be trying this.
Great video. There is so much to learn here. Thanks so much for sharing ❤
Your grimdark series is amazing. For myself, the best advice has been to not be afraid to experiment. Ty so much for sharing
The absolute mastery you show while painting this mini is insane. I didnt want the video to end lol.
That is absolutely incredible.
He looks amazing. The battle damage really makes it
The shield looks amazing, you did so much with simple decals, it looks like the personal sigil of a medieval knight.
Insane, seeing something like this is just a pure form of art. Im absolutely speachless
Also, the montage/ editing really does well in your videos. Love to see more. It's just sad that our attention capacity is that low, but yeah, it kinda works with your montages
I loved this video - I felt like I was able to see a lot of the process you used, and in a way that I could take away ideas for my own models and actually know how to implement them. Please keep more videos like this coming!
Huge props! Just found this as a suggestion in my feed. You were a very easy subscribe choice. Keep up the great work!
Really enjoy your content, just got back into miniature painting and your grimdark styles are very accessible to attempt and enjoyable to complete. It's also great to learn to use different techniques for similar results
Looks amazing! really enjoying the different take on take on grimdark
That sir, is the best ive seen, absoutely loved it, has given me some ideas and will be trying to replicate a lot of this on my next models, thank you so much,, much love from Australia
This is great, I am about to start painting my mortifactors and I’m for sure using this bone armor recipe thanks!
Even if a prefer long and detailed videos, this one is amazing. Clear, consistent, lots of points explained. Very well made and interesting.
Awesome video, gives me a lot of ideas for my Heresy Dark Angels too. Love the music you use for the videos as well, can't beat some synthwave.
I never knew it was possible to create such effect with a sponge, I want to try that too! Great video and great technique!
That looks amazing. I will steal some of these techniques for my models. Thanks for sharing!
I'll be rewatching this many times, thanks a lot!
This was a great video. It really makes me want to start working on my Relictor Space Marines again.
Armor is AMAZING ❤
Beautiful work. The textured heavy cloth technique alone is worth watching. I really like the older veteran head you used too. That combined with the weathered armour and wargear is a much better fit for The Lion's Guard. Cheers!
Love the result here 😍 i even like the base textures!
So good!! love the montage of the shield aswell. Great music too
I love the music you use. Also love how dark and weathered the piece came out. Awesome job as always. 👍🏽
So hyped for this video! Have to watch it later. Cheers to the algorithm!
Perfect look for a fallen/redeemed brother. I absolutely love this cloth look, need to try and replicate it with my blood angels vets.
My dude, this looks absolutely amazing.
I love how much I learn from one single video. Every single time I watch one I instantly want to cancel all my plans and paint.
Please keep these coming! Great video
Awesome video as usual Trov.
I appreciate your work and wish you all the best.
thank you, that's so kind of you!
I absolutely love your work. I'm currently working on a Salamander successor chapter themed around warped, damaged, soot covered armor and ash, and so many of the principles you talk about/introduce are immensely helpful.
Great video, I think focusing on a few key techniques and moving fast through the rest really help tighten the video.
I love the burnt umber washes, they give some great depth and colour, can't wait to try that out.
First video! You're clearly a super-talented artist but you've made it feel like a noob could achieve this result. Thanks so much!
Great video, I really enjoyed seeing your vision for the Honour Guard. Cheers mate!
This one turned out amazing, gonna pick up my brush again this week to paint some more Black Templars in this grimdark style - That one is still my favorite
Solid video. Really appreciate you explaining your techniques. Bone colored armor has always been a pain for me but I think I wanna give it another shot after watching this.
I often click on to videos but this is the one of the first videos I watched (along with your slapchop and your HH Ultramarine recently, both a similar style to this) the whole way through. For me if you keep adding in tutorials like this, along with the more in-depth/longer videos) I would watch more and that would act as a gateway to being more invested to watch to the longer more in depth vids.
Deathwing have always been my favourite but I haven't painted one since the early 90s. Might be time to try again!
Looks great. This is the first time I have seen your channel, so I'll have to check out some more of your videos.
Watching you work is incredible. I could watch you paint all day man. Thanks for sharing your talent and passion with us. You inspire me to grind out hours of painting to reach a level like this.
Absolutely love that mini
Man, I'm about to start painting my first minis and watching this makes me think you're a wizard with a brush. I sure hope one day I can get this good at painting. Thanks for showing the techniques!😃
This video was really enjoyable to watch! Loved it!
i like it when u show more painting like this.
Amazing video brother, very captivating watching it!
A long video is the difference between outrageous clickbait and quality. Thanks for showing us your talent and your techniques !
Dark Angels were my first 40k army. Haven’t played them since 2008. But this video made me want to dive back in. Beautiful and full of character!
Beautiful work !
That green metallic is beyond amazing. God damn!
This is the first time I've seen sponge "paint chipping" turn out so good. Great work, liked and subbed.
