This changed the way I paint forever…

by



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.

  5. I don't want you tu cut the fluff either! This was a great and simple video for us to follow and recreate. Which colors did u use for the base!?¿!? It pops!

  8. 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.

  11. The shading and chipping on the armour looks absolutely stunning!
    Just a quick question. At 12:10, do you mean that you mixed the varnish with ink only, or did you add some medium to the ink as well?

  16. I’ve just had a flashback to painting faces years ago – I’d do one layer and be like okay… another layer omg it looks amazing – final layer… oops it looks awful.

    Every. Damn. Time.

    Loved it.

  18. Thank you for mentioning there's many ways to approach Grimdark.. a certain "grimdark" creator is more of a commercial for certain products sometimes than the love of the aesthetic.

  20. my suggestion to you, because I like your videos and want you to continue, is not to pitch at the beginning. If people like your videos, they'll watch and subscribe on their own
