How To Speed Paint In The Grimdark Style - Warhammer 40k & Necromunda

- Sure, I know I can and usually do better paint jobs over on Instagram but the processes are much the same. This style is not for everyone, but I enjoy it and I hope you do too. If you want to copy this method, I fully believe you can get an entire gang, squad or army painted in no time and stop thinking about your pile of shame. Just get it done!

Something you can do to protect the contrast paints before adding the streaking grime is to paint on a layer of varnish. Gloss will aid removing more enamel and matte varnish will keep the most enamel due to the rougher surface.
i was scrolling through all of the cawdor painting tutorials and videos and yours was the only one that caught my eye. i saw your finished product and instantly thought that is what i want my results to look like. love your style and color scheme choices. keep up the good work and am looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Thanks a lot!
Here is a tip because I see a huge amount of painting youtubers make this mistake when shooting videos: don't use a high contrast background like the one in this video because your camera auto focus will latch onto it. People keep holding the miniature up to the lens wondering why the sharp, striped background is in focus, now you know why. Use a background that has no detail, ideally a solid colour and ideally underexposed compared to the miniature. Or just use a plain black background
I've tried it that way too and I still have problems for some reason 😑
Love the painting tutorial! Starting Cawdor now as I love your conversion, so simple. Yet changes the tone of models so much! Keep up the great work!
You’ve shown me the first “slap chop” models I didn’t overtly hate. I paint more or less grim dark and I had written this style of painting off for my purposes
Painted my orlocks very clean in the beginning but after some serious battles and some grave losses they getting your grimdark treatment.
Sir, thank you for the fantastic inspiration
The Ad-mech heads look incredible...I wish I thought of that myself so I wouldn't have to feel guilty about copying it in the future
Never feel guilty dude, that's a super easy one anyway 😃
For the base if you want rusty style, you cak try dirty down rust. It as a better réaliste effect and can be control with water
Yeah I know. Unfortunately it's not available in NZ. Hopefully I can get some in Australia
You can get the same grimey results using a tin of army painter strong tone then use a matt varnish spray and its alot easier.
Its how I grime up my zombies in my Zombicide games 😁.
A drybrush of a dark blue often looks neat on black.
oh, i see you are on a slapchop hype train too :D
FUUUUUU!!!....Just built my Cawdor today and I see these with the AdMech ranger's heads on and I totally had the bits to do the same! They looks so cool! Well done!
Its never too late mate just pop them off and swap them out
Thanks for this nice tutorial! It's a fun and quick way to get really nice looking minis on the table and to have fun playing with them. :) I like both minis, probably the lighter one a bit more. :) In general, thanks for your Necromunda content on your channel! I really enjoy it a lot!
Thanks so much!
Freakin’ awesome mate love the look of the lighter coloured guy. Very nice cheeky little tutorial you’ve done there.
Excellent! Thank you ❤ I love the result!
Very cool technique. Appreciate all your videos but especially the terrain and painting ones 😀. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! Once I'm settled I think it will be more of that stuff than before actually and probably less of the fluff overall
Nice!
BTW, I really love the new logo!
Yeah I'm super haply with it. I'll probably do a few tees and hoodies actually
Hey mate, love the models! How long did you let the streaking grime dry for before applying the white spirits? Thanks man!
I don't really, i tend to find that I pretty much do it straight away myself 😁
Great video, thank you for sharing. I’m trying to emulate your style but really struggling and I think it’s with the zenithal highlights. Are you using rattle cans or an airbrush?
Thanks again
Thanks! Yep just citadel cans mate
Wraith bone or corax white?
The Honest Wargamer who was taught the ancient arts of Slapchop via Turkish Monks and brought it forward to the masses has just been shown your channel as he has just got into Necromunda
That's awesome! Thank you
Looking to paint some Cawdor soon, so this was massively helpful. Definitely prefer the lighter of the two.
Loved the cream/off white one until you added the streaking grime, still looked good after just in a different way. I've been painting 'slap chop' style since the release of contrast paints.
Each to their own, I just prefer really super filthy personally
@@wellywoodwargaming I still like it, just for different reasons.
@@wellywoodwargaming I think the streaking grime goes a long way to hiding the blotchiness of contrast paints
Both "before" and "after" AK Interactive stuff are superb. But for me, personally I like more colorful view. The "after" is way too dark and grimy. But still very nice result, one of the best looking dark minis.
Streaking Grime is grimdark in a bottle.
Love these -- the eye glaze is really nice. I had no idea about using those enamels on minis either!
Thanks mate!
Wheres the slapchop? You're just using contrast paint as GW intended lol
It's pretty similar really its just my own version of it
Gotta agree this isn't slap chop.
@@calebhargus no it's not entirely, it's my own version and draws from similar methods and influences. I hope you enjoyed it nonetheless
It’s not even a tiny bit slap chop. Good video. Totally erroneous title.
Thanks
I get good results from varnishing before adding the streaking grime👍
Yeah I used to do that but these days I'm too lazy
Hail all
Hail!
I’ve been playing around with a few other variations. Basing in Zandri Dust then a lighter zenithal than you use of Wraithbone pre-tints a whole bunch.
I also often zenithal with an off white then do some drybrushing on some areas with pure white before I start with the contrasts.
Both look very good but the one on the right really pops! What is your recipe for the lenses?
Thanks! It was just red, a smaller amount of yellow, a dot of white and then a wash if bloodletter. Super easy
This was great. Looks so good.
Thanks so much!
Kia Ora. Loved the vid. Thanks dude.
I looked up AK streaking grime and found a bunch of chatter about them drastically changing the colour for it, do you know if you used the one that's more brown or olive coloured?
I prefer the more greenish one yeah. Up to you though, I think you can buy both
Should this be called "grimslap?"
Ha I love it
A suggestion, spray the model with varnish before you put that grime B,S, on the models to stop its removal from taking off the paint underneath.
Yeah you totally can and probably should but I can never be bothered with varnish as I'm too lazy 🤣
Porkchop painting is the best painting. Anything else is crap.
ONE THICK COAT!!!
Great tutorial and a great logo too.
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome Vid, thank you 🤣
Glad you enjoyed it
Kia kaha! Those r great, they have that grimy medieval pilgrim look which fits! I'm putting a request in for your corpse grinders, were they a similar process? Thx
They were fairly different actually, no dry brushing just inks and oils over zenthal with the armor being contrast over silver etc
5% Slap..
95% Hard work..
It was easy as hell, 0% hard work, 100% fun
I'm not even sure I would say semi-slap chop. My understanding of that technique is to use dry brushing to develop contrast in the undercoat. I don't think you did that here. Not that it matters, because the results are quite good. I prefer the tan one because there is a greater depth of contrast.
I think my point here was to rely on the zenithal prime more than a dry brush that's all. Thanks for watching
@@wellywoodwargaming I wondered about the zenithal priming. It seemed quite white at the start. I wasn't sure there was a darker undercoat. It seemed more like prime white, use contrast paint, highlight. Regardless, I enjoyed the results.
What is it you say at the start of your videos?
Kia Ora!
@@wellywoodwargaming nice one. Googled it. Kia ora!
26:10 Is the base unfinished there?
Nah I didn't go any further with it in this instance but often do by covering in more oils etc
@@wellywoodwargaming Cool thanks.
Also, can you recommend a blue to substitute the red? Something that pops but also looks good grimy.
Good job brother, just not slap chop.
The description states that it's not pure slapchop but it's a similar process. Cheers
What miniature are these your painting
Cawdor with admech heads mate
hmmm, id understand what slapchop is before doing a video about it, stopped after 5 mins.
Thanks for the feedback
So many of these "how to paint badly" videos. Who needs a guide for this?
Well clearly not you 😁
@@wellywoodwargaming Be honest. We all paintedlike this until we learnt how to do it properly. This trend of giving a turd a cool new name and pretending it isn't turd needs to stop. It's not grimdark, it's not slapchop. It's lazy. Slapping a wash over a drybrush isn't a new style.
On a positive note, your necromunda content is great
@@stevepickford3004 thanks for your opinions champ! 👍
@@stevepickford3004 Wow, this comment is so arrogant. :( Painting minis is not everyone's priority in the wargaming tabletop hobby, not everyone can spend hours and hours on painting one mini (job(s), family, other hobbies - need not be laziness!), and last but not least, not everyone has the same goals when painting a mini. Many just want some decent looking minis to play with on the table that are not gray but still are better than just base colours, and not everyone paints for display or to win a Golden Demon.
Luckily, there are many ways to enjoy the tabletop hobby - painting minis is only one part, and, as I said, might not be the most interesting for a lot of players.
I don't understand that there is so much hate for different approaches in our hobby, which should be fun for everyone, no matter what fun means for each of us. I don't get hurt when someone uses the approach shown in this video, and it is totally legitimate to do it that way and having fun playing with the painted mini. This way of painting doesn't affect yours in any way, so you can go on doing it the way you like - why don't you let others to it the way they like without bashing on them?
