I made a grimdark spacemarine with an lmg. Cut off his shoulder and replaced it with a plaguemarine shoulder. The one with the three skulls. Cut away his mag and scope from his bolter and glued a box mag underneath. Used a flag from a chaos warrior flagbearer to use it as a shoulder cape wich i shaped with a lighter. Doesnt wear a helmet. Spacemarine head with the short hair. Cut off his chest insignia and smoothened it. Chipped off some pieces of his normal shoulder pad, his neck protection and his kneepads, used a stanley knife to damage the armor even further. Grimdark styled paintjob on it and there we go.

Thank you for taking the time to go through all the steps, I guess it must be boring to keep repeating the basics but it is very very useful to have everything summarized in a single video. Personally loved the fact that this paintjob had a lot of basic steps covered: green stuff management, varnishing, shading, contrast paints, filtering with watered down colors... also appreciated the soundtrack and the wow lighting during the final showcase. Pleasant video with its own personality. I dont have specific requests, as long as I feel that you are following your own style! Kudos

You should look into using enamel washes, Pete... Takes care of the wash, adds a nice mottled dirtiness and discoloration to the areas that you dont clean it off with white spirits... And once dried, you get a nice matte finish as well. Grimdark in a bottle.

5:37 Swedish Cosmetics' Counter Joke (has to be read in a Swedish accent to work) "I would like to purchase a deodorant, please." "Certainly, sir? Ball or Aerosol?" "No, I want one for under my arms." This is another great conversion. Make that simple tilt-shield is a smashing idea. I'd have thought that apply the ground paste to the base, and then glueing on the mini, while the paste was still wet, would have made that stage a bit easier?

A lot of great ideas in this video! I've only built 5 of these from the Dominion set in the classic gold and blue and I'm not a fan so I stopped working on them until I find something I like. I like the idea of denting these up as they do look too new to be on a a battlefield. I also like the idea off getting rid of the shield emblam and I possibly will get rid of the lightning on the pauldrons. I found a Krylon brand 1401 bright silver that I experimented on with my Necrons so I might try that on these for a base coat. It is very metallic so I noticed that a few coats are required for any other basing colors. I also found a sallet helmet 3D .stl that I might try since I'm nopt really a fan of the normal helms.

How essential is this step? I'm thinking if you wanna keep that glossy sheen effect for your model if there's any alternatives or if you can just skip it?
