    I've been doing some grim dark Imperial Fists a different way, but I am really enjoying the stippled on base tones and the texture that it gives! Lovely work.

    I find myself going back to this stippling technique more and more. It's really effective and satisfying to do. It works exceptionally well with oils over black primer and a gloss coat also, especially for that grimdark style. Well done mate!

    For anyone wandering, when Richard says Sansodor, he means Winsor & Newton's version of white spirit witch doesn't smell.

    That point of the video where you are line highlighting the bolt rifle while talking about paint speed. Those line highlights were ultra fast and impressive. I'm literally, right now, painting Heavy Intercessors and have painted 30 regular intercessors in the past. I know the process. That was crazy cool to see. 👌

    I'll second the "grimdark"-Emperors Children. I'd be keen on seeing that
    But personally, black armor is something that I'd like to see

  • @MrStatistx
    @MrStatistx 3 роки тому

    The big risk with priming black and leaving it in recesses and such, is that combined with the thinned yellow over it, it can easily read as green. When I did my imperial fist, I only used brown and yellow and everyone was saying it looked green. Add that I'm colorblind, it took me a while to figure out that the black I left over was the reason.

  • @judsonbates1359
    @judsonbates1359 Рік тому

    Love your videos but wish you used only a brush. That’s ok though, you are one of the few artists I watch who does use an airbrush. You are a great teacher and I always pick something up in your videos.

  • @chrisg3726
    @chrisg3726 3 роки тому +1

    Amazing work again Richard, could you please do this for a Blood Angel? There’s some other great efforts of doing Grimdark BA’s but I’d love to see it with this technique and skill please.

  • @thomashermansen9263

  • @davidkinniburgh2265
    @davidkinniburgh2265 3 роки тому +1

    I’m really blown away by this method. Thank you for sharing. I do have a couple of questions though.
    How easily can this method be transferred to a split scheme? For example Angels of Redemption?
    Also, how well does this method work on tanks with big flat areas?

  • @michaelgoldsmith3834
    @michaelgoldsmith3834 3 роки тому

    Even though the stippling technique may be less skill oriented, I do think that as far as the grimdark universe of 40k goes I have never imagined the armor of space Marines being particularly shiny and reflective unless described as heroes before battles ( maybe more like ceremonial?) So I think this really fits in better with the universe.

  • @youtousim
    @youtousim 3 роки тому +1

    Awesome tutorial. Surprised you didn't "scratch" some paint over the decals though. Would complement the battle worn stile nicely i think.

  • @sergiobarrachina3330

  • @IDHC_CBSickles

    the yriel yellow and ice yellow highlights could those be added by stippling as well or even and over brush?. i sadly dont own an air brush atm and am looking for other ways to recreate this.

  • @zootsnchoons649
    @zootsnchoons649 2 роки тому

  • @crossroaddevil4711

    @pierrepesnel7355 Рік тому

    Hi, thank you for your video, the result of your figurine is really nice, and helps a lot to try new techniques. Do you think that the grimdark painting technique you use could give a nice rendering on Tau Fire warriors? I find that it lends itself particularly well to Space Marines. Good day

    I just bought the 40k elite edition box set, never played, built, or painted a model in my life and i THINK I have decided between imperial fist or a custom chapter, (successor chapter think they are called). I don't really want to match the set box art and was looking to paint them a unique way, that being said i found your videos very helpful.
    Another thing if any can tell me, will regular supper glue work on the minis? The models were advertised as no glue necessary but the box advises to glue them.

  • @IDHC_CBSickles

  • @Desheep
    @Desheep 11 місяців тому +1

    My only issue with this is: I don't think grimdark is appropriate for imperial fists. You don't see the UK royal guards or soldiers in Washington in damaged, dirty armor.
    Hell you don't even see Ukraine soldiers in dirty armor, but that's a whole other discussion about why grimdark is a silly meme.
