For someone like me with a limited amount of space for hobby supplies, this is brilliant. Knowing I can get an effect like this with my existing stuff is unreal 👍🏼
I love this - I'm working on a Rhino tank I bought when I was 10, and I had a tube of brown that's half dried up. it's made the most amazing mud effect, so now I'm locked into a grim dark look for the whole thing. Time to buy a tiny sponge and a teeny clamp! Great tutorial, thanks for sharing!
One thing I discovered with ratling grime is that if you dilute it 4 parts speed paint medium to 1 part it, then add one more part of paint retarder and cover an area, while rapidly dabbing it off with a paper towel you can get a very fast grimdark style and weathering in one step. Keep in mind though you can't do the entire model at once, do sections and remove the excess within about 20 seconds.
I’m so glad I found this video. I want to start painting in the grim dark style. Sadly the videos all show the artist using an airbrush which I don’t have. Thank you for the video!
This is so awesome! Thank you for that guide! For my first miniature I went with a brown undercoat and then sponge on different blue tones to create an effect of rust on the edges. Doing the weathering effect in the end seems a lot nicer to me .. looking forward to test it. Nice job!
Bravo! Freakin amazing 👏 looking good as always. These look so good, and it is always impressive. I'm having a slow time at my 5 grim space marines I have going. But I'll get there is suppose. Thanks for encouraging us.
One simple step in between I would suggest is after sponging the basecoat on, wash the WHOLE thing. Ideally with a selfmade wash, but any GW or Army painter wash might suffice, then do the sponge basecoat once more. that way you got some nice grimdark and dirty crevices without adding much work overall
It would actually be awesome to see how you extend this style to larger models like tanks or dreadnoughts. And also see how you manage this style for more complex models like Calgar or a Librarian. It's actually easy to do it on troops but I struggle a lot when there are more details to keep it consistent through my army. Thanks for this awesome tutorial tho !
Great tutorial, now i want to repaint my Ultramarine army haha...but i'm not going to do that. But definitely will do some others in this style. Thanks for the video.
@@TheFeralPainter yeah I get the difference in display vs play. I saw someone seal the powder using airbrush thinner which I hadn’t seen before. Any plans on possibly painting some grim dark weathered terrain in the future ? Would love to see your take on some building / pipes or ruins etc 🤟🏼
Fantastic!!! I'm painting Flesh tearers and trying to get the right balance of rust and grime so it doesn't blend in with the colours or take mute it right down against the red. Love to see your take on from dark red schemes 🤘🏻
Looks great! And I really appreciate that showed how to achive this with just acrylics, will definately try some these techniques. If you paainting a dark angel, would you still do the sponge weathering with the dark brown, or does it get lost in the darker colour scheme?
It’s a case of trail and error, I somtimes dampen my sponge before hand. Dap off on a towel. Just a case of playing as most paints have different thickness/opacity
Not that I’m painting ultramarines. But this is super useful for my blood angels librarians! Wanted a more grimdark look for my librarians and this worked perfectly
Hey man, amazing job! Like and subscribe! I am going to try to replicate this. A few quick questions: I was looking the paints you used for the gold parts and I am a bit confused with the Scale 75 Peridot Alchemy. The color see in the Internet is quite a dark greenish gold. Did you really use this one for gold highlights? Also, are any alternatives to the Rusty Gold? Like Runelord Brass from Citadel maybe? Thanks mate!

Thanks man!! Sounds amazing!!! X
awesome mate, most of us don’t use airbrush or enamels so it’s very useful to see a tutorial like this! thanks mate
Glad it was helpful!
I’ve been struggling with my Ultramarines, this is excellent! I will be using this method. Ty so much !
You're very welcome!

Maccrage blue looks so vibrant when it’s wet. I wish it stayed like that after it dried.
Yea I hate it when coulors do that
I have a fresh batch of terminators I will be trying this with! Thank you!
I have some tutorials on termis too
This is so awesome! Thank you for that guide!

Have fun man sounds awesome
Im using this style to make Salamanders and its looking amazing, thank you so much!
Glad i helped man!
Excellent tutorial and he looks great! Well done! Who knew you could do grimdark without oils/enamel? Thanks for listing the alternative paints.
Your welcome dude
Bravo! Freakin amazing 👏 looking good as always.

Keep goin man url smash it
Just getting into this hobby and this style is exactly what I want to achieve! Great video!

Thanks for the comment. And your advice
This is freaking brilliant! Thank you sooo much! Going to try this out asap!
Hope you enjoy!
Looks great mate! Keep up the content, love how your models look!
Thanks a ton!
Very nice, reminds me a lot of the Trovarion series of videos, really fun and cool technique!
Thank you very much!
Wow looks amazing, like all of yours. Thanks for the tutorial
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice job! With regards to the handle for sponging you can use a pin vice if you want something more chunky to hold.
Great tip!

Glad to see a new video 🤟🏼
Do you ever seal the pigment powders? Do they set firm, I’ve never tried them.
Sometimes. I don’t usually as I only paint for display. But deffo can use a varnish or sealer
@@TheFeralPainter yeah I get the difference in display vs play.
I saw someone seal the powder using airbrush thinner which I hadn’t seen before.
Any plans on possibly painting some grim dark weathered terrain in the future ? Would love to see your take on some building / pipes or ruins etc 🤟🏼

Thanks man. Think I did some blood angels on here somewhere 👍🏻
@TheFeralPainter ahh my mistake!!! I must go and see. Thanks for your videos and great content dude!🤘🏻
I like this, and I was wondering what sort of paints for this style would you use for Black Templars?
Tutorial coming soon
Fantastic guide, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
@TheFeralPainter would this work on vehicles?
Looks great! And I really appreciate that showed how to achive this with just acrylics, will definately try some these techniques.
If you paainting a dark angel, would you still do the sponge weathering with the dark brown, or does it get lost in the darker colour scheme?
Yea gets lost a little but yea can achieve it
Any tips for getting the right amount of paint on the sponge? I always end up woth more than a need or less
It’s a case of trail and error, I somtimes dampen my sponge before hand. Dap off on a towel. Just a case of playing as most paints have different thickness/opacity
What 'weathering' colours would you use on black armour such as the Templars?
Possibly the same as here for the rust etc 👌🏻
Great tutorial keep up the great work.
Thank you! Cheers!
Have you got a video like this for dark angels?
Yep
Alternatively follow the same technique judt change the colours
Very nice video !!!! I will try in my Salamanders!!!!!!
Have fun!
If you were doing the blood angles what colors would you use?
Hay man I have a tutorial on here
@@TheFeralPainter thanks i found it.
Are there any alternatives for the scale 74 peridot alchemy and decayed metal? They appear to always be out of stock everywhere
Not sure buddy. Take a look at some brands with similar colours. I know castallax bronze by citadel is similar
What's this all about no streaking grim sir 😂 looks good mate
Hahhahaha thanks man
Not that I’m painting ultramarines. But this is super useful for my blood angels librarians! Wanted a more grimdark look for my librarians and this worked perfectly
Glad u enjoyed’ i do have a blood angels one on here with same technique 👌🏻 thanks again
Do you thin your paints at all or do you just grab it straight from the pot?
Thin
Awesome work.
Thank you! Cheers!
No enamels
No oils???
Greatest tutorial I found, I love you videos man would be awesome if you did grimdark night lords ❤
Coming soon!
Can you do this with Dark Angels or Deathwatch (or both?)
There are some on my channel for those, hope they help 👌🏻
@@TheFeralPainterI’ve watched your dark angels videos but I’m unsure of what colours to use for something like this

Yea runlord would work ok. And yes the peridot for some reason looks green on images but it not. Its more a creamy light gold. Thakks for the comment
looks amazing holy shit
Thanks dude
I'd like to see a similar video for painting grimdark orange armor
Uve hustled guessed my next project hahaha literally editing it now 😜
@@TheFeralPainter Hell yeah!
Good think I had a quick look. UA-cam didn't notify me about this >.
Hope u enjoyed
No oils or enamels!? Who are you and what have you done with FeralPainter!?
😂😂🙈🙈 I have no idea we’re gone
would love to see salamanders done in this grim dark.
Yea had a lot of requests for that will deffo do one soon
@@TheFeralPainter Cannot wait! the green is so bright I can't even begin to think what green to start with as a base coat
