  • In this video I show you how I paint my Warhammer 40k imperial fists before they meet their demise. I love space marines and the fists are definitely my favorite legion. This recipe can easily work on your new Horus Heresy models for 30k as well.
    All of the blood fx are purely just paint and special effects on miniature models!

    There's no way this is your first youtube video, it's so slick and well-structured.

    @MadRedCap 2 роки тому +46

    This is as compact as it gets without losing anything relevant to the painting process. And while the ground laying paintjob idea is from Elminiaturista, you still gave it your own twist with the weathering, streaking grime wash and the blood.
    Keep 'em coming, I like your paint style and will definitely try something similiar in the future.

  • @Digitalfiendscom
    @Digitalfiendscom 2 роки тому +21

    Probably one of the best grimdark Imperial Fists I've seen...and I've seen a lot while looking for a good recipe. So many grimdark approaches end up looking really desaturated (naturally, but almost too much) ... whereas this one still has a rich yellow tone to it that still breaks through the streaking grime. I'm not usually a fan of the pink undertone used to get shading but it really works well here with the streaking grime! Great job.
