    A guide on painting black armour without using a prominent blue highlight is a God send. Thanks for the information Richard!

    I really like how the shoulders came out with the matt varnish and the brown oils.

  • @russellmartin3951
    @russellmartin3951 Před rokem +2

    You mentioned that you should have used gloss varnish before washing, but I think the brown looks great for a grim dark marine. I also like the highlighting.

    Amazing mate, even when a colour combo you use doesn’t apply to me too much, I always find something really useful and your vertigris is so simple and I have been looking for this look. Cheers dude. 😁

    Sweeeeet Lawrd, quite literally, how come I've got You subscribed but never payed much attention - those are ones of most wholesome tutorials I've seen in a long time. I'm at the stage, when I can do pretty much everything (not in a perfect way, but still) but I'm looking for some inspiration to push me further - kind sir, YOU ARE THE GUY!
    Thank You!

    This was exactly the style I was looking for for my Legion of the Damned! Thanks so much, and I'll definitely check out your other videos for grimdark yellows and reds when I finish and move on to Howling Griffons!

  • @jonathanwernham2296
    @jonathanwernham2296 Před 2 lety +2

    I've always been put off watching your videos after seeing your Mortarion and thought i would never be able to paint like that (it is properly intimidating but amazing beautiful a true masterpiece) so I thought (incorrectly) that your vids would be another high-level painting vid where you need to have gone to art school to truly appreciate it and understand your instructions ....
    However, this video is fantastic and your awesome approach to it is phenomenal!! The way you almost talk down the ability to do stuff is great for people wanting to better their best. It broke some misconstrued barriers about techniques and methods. Just pop this here, pop that there, don't do that do this instead, worried about light source just say its a bomb exploded :D
    Honestly, i can say this has been one of the best vids i have seen where someone has rushed through a model and it still looks like it would get a final place in Golden Daemon! Keep up the amazing work...

  • @RogerS1978

    Love the tutorials, especially the grimdark ones. Would be interested to see your take on purple marines (like soul drinkers, it's hard to get it to look right - metal marine has had several acetone baths so far). Oddly try adding the highlights with oils as well, can get a good effect blending them with spirits and adding while still wet

  • @allenbenningfield3865

    This is fantastic. I’m planning to put together at least a Black Templar Kill Team, and This will be my template. Thanks.

  • @dekai7992

  • @saltedllama2759
    @saltedllama2759 Před 2 lety +3

    I have learned over the years that judges for painting competitions do NOT like the grimdark, textured/sketchy style. So when I paint for competitions, it's all about being clean, high contrast, sharpness readable to the eye. When painting for myself? I love to do it like this.

    • @snowy5628
      @snowy5628 Před 2 lety +3

      Well Richard paints with a texture/sketchy style for his models and has won plenty of GD's with that style. So I don't think that's true. I mean look at the most recent Gold winner in vehicle. It's as grimey as you can get

  • @user-hi1mj4mc3w
    @user-hi1mj4mc3w Před 2 lety

    Many thanks! Could you have used a cotton tip in spirits to dab off your highlight to save additional time. Could miss the gloss coat altogether too? Would love to see you speed paint a squad and your overall work flow. Thx again 👍🌊

    • @mrcultivator2340
      @mrcultivator2340 Před 2 lety

    • @dekai7992
      @dekai7992 Před 2 lety

      The easiest way is to count the brushfulls of paint and water and stirr those together on the wet palette. The ratios depend on what you need; whether you need a glaze or something more opaque for layering or highlighting. It's also not the same for every paint because those behave quite differently, depending on the manufacturer and tone/pigment. Experiment and try out for yourselves.

  • @spencerm1633
    @spencerm1633 Před rokem

    Really liking your methods (found this after your Mk6 blood angel tutorial).
    Watching your black armour, you suggest Basalt Grey after the German Grey…is there an alternative to this you would suggest? Comparison charts suggest Dawnstone from GW but that looks lighter than the Basalt you use.
    Keep it up!

    sort of a necro here but I just now found this video. Would it be fair to surmise if you prefer the more blue black look of BT that replacing the grey's in this process with blues would work with the same workflow?

    Thanks for the amazing content Richard

    • @demonrich
      @demonrich  Před 2 měsíci +1

      You should be fine, just be careful that the oil wash was very thin. Oil takes a lot longer to dry than acrylic and will cause cracking on the acrylic if the acrylic is on top. A very thin wash shouldn't cause an issue though.
