I think my favourite part of painting this mini may have been the custom sculpted plinth I designed and painted SO WE'VE MADE IT AVAILABLE TO BUY ON MY STORE HERE!! roguehobbies.com/ If you have your own 3d printer you can also get the STL and a full painting tutorial for the plinth on my patreon now! www.patreon.com/roguehobbies IT'S PLINTH CITTTYY!!

A half-foot of Silver During one of the chapter's earliest engagements Chapter Master D'Arquitens famously decreed during a seemingly hopeless defense that he would "Take not one single step back, nor give a foot of ground to the foul ork." as a symbol of bravado and honourable oath-taking as was chivalric tradition within the Chapter. Leading through example his firmly planted feet did not move while he fought ceaselessly for over 40 hours against the green orkoid tide. Emboldened by this daring feat his fellow marines fought with incredible fury and victory was within their grasp. At the final juncture the Warboss himself set upon D'Arquitens. Their weapons clashed again and again until with a thunderous blow the surrounding onlookers saw their chapter master take a blow head on. A groan of despair arose from all around as the impact drove the Chapter Master back, until the Warboss miraculously fell dead, his heart impaled by their liege-lord's mighty relic blade. With his death the ork horde broke and the Astartes claimed victory. As the marines cheered suddenly their celebrations were interrupted by laughter? D'Arquitens looked down at his left greave, seeing where it had clearly been pushed back from the jarring impact. He had broken his oath at the very last juncture but uncharacteristically found humour in his failure. Taking a valuable lesson in how sometimes even sworn oaths must be broken he decreed that the "half a foot" that his left leg had been shifted be henceforth made a permanent part of the chapter's livery. A constant reminder of flexibility in the face of defeat. Throughout the Emperor's Grief's long history other such amendments have been made, with some veterans remarking that eventually they will be fighting entirely without colours at all. The right-most pauldron being another notable example, but that is a story for another time...

The pointing to the sky is very renaissance appeal to god pose. Really fits the holy knight vibe. Awesome storytelling.

It's weird to understand how you see your own work because I really look up to you as one of my favourite and best painters - social media is full of successes, not failures or struggles and insecurities. Thank you for reminding the internet that we are all human and on our own journeys. Your work is absolutely incredible 🥰

Honestly, the first idea that came to me was a Blood Angels successor Chapter. They embody the Emperor's grief at the death of Sanguinius and their chapter emblem having a drop works well to tie that in. Additionally, the purple makes sense to me because red (blood)+blue (water from tears)=purple. Maybe their Chapter has a higher incidence of members falling to the Black Rage because they're tied not only to the defect in the Blood Angels' gene-seed, but also psychically tied to the Emperor's grief at the loss of Sanguinius before his eyes. They presence of plenty of gold also ties in well to them paying tribute to the Sanguine Gaurd more so than other Blood Angels.

With the red and the pointing to the sky, I could see them being a loyalist chapter comprised of Word Bearer geneseed, spreading the good word of the Emperor, and being battlefield orators and leaders of mortal soldiers. Run them with guard units if possible.

With the purple and the name, this could be some kind of loyalist Emperor's Children successor. Their name might mean that THEY'RE the ones grieving because of the betrayal of their parent chapter. The grey stripe could be some kind of command color, where the higher seniority of the marine the more grey they have.

Omg that's a totally sweet scheme; a little busy but WAY better than the old GW schemes that were garish and clashy

I really enjoy your work! Oh, the half silver leg could be like a connection to an important battle and/or the ad mech. Like the chapter's first major campaign. The Emperor's Grief name has Lamenters feel. Victory at extreme cost, putting humanity before themselves.

Thought on the half silver leg. The chapter adopted that motif after a few of their companies were spared destruction from a warp incursion in which the timely arrival of the Grey Knights prevented this. The Grey Knights took high casualties and the chapter wanted in memorialize this sacrifice on their power armor from that day forward.

My New Year’s resolution was to get back into painting Warhammer since the last one I did was the Necron that came free with White Dwarf issue 217 (I was 12 years y/o). I followed the instructions to the letter and glued sand to the base which I brushed brown and green… and then never painted again. I’m using this video as pure motivation to pick up a brush again.

Lore Idea (Inspired by the Blood Angels Black Rage): The Emperor’s Greif Chapter emerged from a region plagued by constant warp anomalies, causing intense psychic disturbances. The chapter's gene-seed is subtly influenced by these chaotic energies, granting them a heightened connection to the Warp. Despite their formidable combat prowess, the Marines struggle with haunting visions of the Emperor's past, burdening them with a collective sorrow known as the Emperor's Grief. This emotional weight fuels their determination in battle, as they strive to redeem the pain suffered by the Emperor in millennia long gone.

For the background: The guardians of a collection of systems in the galactic north, the Imperial Fists successor chapter The Emperor's Grief were the honourable knights and protectors of flourishing paradise worlds, keeping them safe from the horrors of the galaxy. But with the fall of the Cadian Gate, Chapter Master Roger Hobert was forced to use the Chapter Fleet to purge the rampaging hordes of a chaos uprising, who were driven to madness and heresy by the uproar in the Warp, sacrificing much of his Chapter's strength. Now, the grim duty of patrolling the orphaned worlds falls to the rest of his brothers, who travel the ruins of once splendid cities and shrines. Seeking the left-over roaming abominations and slaying them in knightly combat, they are ever reminded of their failure by the silent stones of their fallen worlds.

A great exercise in pushing one's self outside of their comfort zone. People not only need to do this to become better painters, they also need to be okay with failing; possibly a few times before they figure it out. We are in an age of consume consume consume (via KZfaq or social media), but afraid of putting it to practice. Then we blame our anxiety as an excuse to not try something. Take back control and be powerful! This video is a fantastic motivator to get in there and try new things. It will bleed into other areas of your life! SIDE NOTE: Once you do figure out a color or technique, don't let that be your default with every project. If you find you really like how Mephiston Red performs, for example, that doesn't mean you should use that paint for every instance where you need red. Sometimes the properties don't align with the overall aesthetic you are hoping for. Or if you figure out how to achieve a circular highlight through stippling, that doesn't mean you should use stippling for every instance where you need a circular highlight; different textures or materials being represented, as well as the volumes of the piece means that you may need to approach it differently. So again, find a dummy model or even a drawing app to try something out and continue to push your own boundaries.

I love this “oh no you didn’t!” Spacemarine!

I think the reason he's got one metallic leg is because he stepped in a bucket of paint stripper

A trick I use with red is to highlight with pink to white without going into yellow or orange and then glaze with red to brink back the “redness”

A very wise shape shifting yellow dog once told me "Dude, suck'n at something is the first step to being sorta good at something"

Firstly this video was so fascinating to watch. That has to be one of the best darn space marines I’ve seen! As a novamarine painter myself I was stoked to hear you mention them! Lore reason for the Iron/Steel leg, it represents the chapter ethos of unwaving duty no matter the odds. Stand resolute.

You're my fave painter, don't pay too much heed to social media, love your endless positivity

Purple has easily become one of my top three colors to paint with. Great for shading or adding life to organic subjects.

The main thing the half grey leg makes me think of is the saying "one foot in the grave", in reference to someone who is near death. So maybe it is a tribute to a high ranking member who is still a total badass, like an ancient Dreadnought who is held in reverence (kind of like Bjorn the Fell-Handed). Given their name it could also be in reference to the Emperor himself. Or maybe there is something about the chapter that has them all in a near death state.

Great video! The easiest approach to red is what the grimdark people are doing: Forget about thinking that the leg is red: it's brown with red highlights. Once you overhighlight to death, the way many of us do in green skins, mimicking the old Warhammer Fantasy green... it's just properly red. The same trick with the grey, really. When you watch, say, Jose David's golden demon grey knight, you see that the base color is very dark, so the midtone ends up darker than we'd think.

had an idea for that white leg, it is the one part of their armor they spend each sun set cleaning. Being the grief, the anticipate disappointment, so as a small symbol of showing that they only exist to serve, they will make sure there is a shinning white part of them on display for all of the warp to see. They carry white paint with them to touch it up if needed. It is the leg as it is the root to a tree - their commitment, the foundation of their cause.

The free handing of the symbol, just mind blowing. Incredible work.

Thanks for bringing us along on your self improvement journey! I've heard: "Art is never finished, only abandoned." I want to get into this hobby, but I'm scared of failing, which is probably the least useful fear ever. Of course, if I'm just doing this for me, "failure" is my own definition. Hm... Edit: re-organized the "Art is never finished...", and added the admission of fear.

Wow Louise, amazing attitude to your craft and a beautiful paint scheme. Inspiring.

_"Sucking at something is the first step in becoming sorta good at something"_ *- Jake the Dog*

So for lore hear me out. Might be a bit complicated but I think it plays. So the icon you went with for the chapter made me think of 1K sons and their armor was red in 30K. These are primaris marines which officially none are made from traitor geneseed but most people seem to agree that Cawl probably did anyway. What if the "Emperor's Grief" chapter is made from the geneseed of 1k sons that cawl got ahold of. We can go further with this and say the chapter is made from a blended geneseed of 1k sons and emperors children. The red and purple. During the heresy Malcador had a group of loyalist space marines that had come from traitor chapters he called the "Knights Errant" who used gunmetal grey power armor, which we can use as a tie in to the half grey leg. So what I am proposing is the Emperor's Grief chapter is a primaris only chapter made by Cawl with an experimental blend of EC and 1k sons geneseed. They keep the half grey leg as a nod to the members of traitor legions who remained loyal and fought for the Emperor in the Knights Errant. The red and purple can be references to the 1k sons and EC's original colors (vs current blue/yellow and pink/black0 and the name "Emperor's Grief' can be a a reference to the grief the emperor felt at his sons turning traitor and betraying the great crusade.

I feel like his theme tune is Dance Commander by Electric Six. "Whoo gives the orders here?"

He looks superb. It's quite surprising how well this mish mash of different colours have ended up working so well together. Whilst there will always always room for improvement, you are an excellent painter and I think if any of us compare ourselves with the best mini painters in the world we're all going to feel like our painting isn't good enough. That's social media in a nut shell unfortunately.

With the purple, I feel a disgraced Praetorian guard style backstory is what's needed. They would wear purple and their relationship to the Roman emperors was variable. Also, your painting is an aspiration and inspiration.

RIP bryan angell. I went back and watched the "Bring out your lead!" Episode Rogue hobbies did. Thank you for doing that ❤

Alright, lore idea for the half Grey leg... Since they're called "The Emperor's Grief" (love that name, btw 🎉), you could make the reasoning for the Grey being there is that is the signification of the Emperor's physical form dying in the Matierium, while the Gold is the signification of his rebirth as the new god of mankind, being born anew as the one thing he never intended to be, nor ever wanted to be... and us such, the Emperor is in his grief of new role, and in grief with how humanity has fallen so low. So while the Red, Gold, and Purple are all signs that the Emperor is very much alive in the Immaterium, he is very much dying in the Materium, which is what the Grey signifies on the leg. Just an idea to go with. Hopefully, I explained it well enough, and it actually made sense. Love the work you do, Louise 😄😊🎉

Thank you for your videos and candour as they have inspired me to produce some of the best work I have ever done in 30 years of collecting, seeing your love of the craft and hobby makes me want to do more. I spent so long wanting to be better, for my models to be perfect, my brother can paint as well as the box art, and it wasn't until the last year I realised that is not what I want from painting. I'm not painting to be the best I don't have that drive or time, I paint to have kick ass models on my shelf and for relaxation. I will get better and try to improve but this is for me.

NMM is a daunting enough wall to scale that I've never dared it; more power to you for forging out into unknown territory

these are LITERALLY the things I struggle with most. This video was ABSOLUTELY for people like me.

I can get overly focused on a task, and have learnt to set myself a timer for between 20 and 60 minutes. When it goes off, I have to put down my task, stand up, and turn it off. The act of standing will usually prompt me to go "oh, I should eat / pee / whatever." I found this a more successful tool than some other things, because the only extra step I need to remember is to set the timer, and everything else just flows from that. Especially if you're used to setting timers whilst cooking - then your brain has the "oh, go deal with the timer" reflex reinforced by things catching fire when you ignore it. What works for me may or may not work for you, but it's an idea if you want to try it. Learning to walk away from a project and come back tomorrow was harder and still isn't perfect, but one time when I was exhausting myself over my R2-D2 build, my father pointed out something very helpful: I'm in my late 40s. I'm probably going to live at least another forty years. I have *lots* of time to get this droid finished and enjoy it. I know it's not quite the same because you need content for your videos, because that's your job now. But still: you're almost twenty years younger than I am. You're probably going to live for another sixty years. You have so much time to finish your projects; it doesn't have to happen today. And I know you know this; but sometimes, having someone outside your head say it helps one remember these things.

Fabulous job. The struggle to get past our own perceived limitations never ends. Bravo for tackling this project. Keep growing.

I love reds, my tip for highlighting red is that you should generally still highlight them with white and pink and then if you want to warm it up or bring back saturation you can glaze with yellow or red

Backstory idea: the grey on the leg could perhaps represent a mark of penance or something. Perhaps there was a hive city whose occupants were under the boot of the enemy, and the chapter wasn't able to rescue them on time. This year, I've started actually tackling some of the things I've been afraid to do with painting (infantry camo), and so far I've been pretty happy with my progress. I take plenty of breaks though. I've found that if I paint in small stages and small batches as I learn, I can come back to each stage with fresh eyes and adjust my approach. I do the same with art as well, very iterative. Your results may vary, but this is a nice piecemeal approach that works for me. :)

Absolutely love this video! It really shows the struggle and joy within this hobby! It's just so easy to quit rather than push through when things gets difficult.. ❤

Roses bloom from new growth. That, and the fact that such a skilled artist can be open and honest about things that they struggle with makes this a fantastic video. Great job! I look forward to seeing more videos in the future

Thanks for this video! Not only did you show a ton of great painting tips, but also wasn’t shy about your struggles and gave ideas how to deal with them. It’s good to know that such great painter as you also can get stuck and not make any progress for hours, now I know it’s not only me and my lack of skills 😉

Alternative title for this video 'Eleventy reasons why Louise hates herself set to Spaltoon (?) music' Also, that Primaris came out brill, don't beat yourself up. Seriously, I'm always envious of people who can do NMMs, but I do wanna say you're REALLY helping me come to terms with my perfectionist streak.

As far as the grey split leggings and the Chapter name... I picture them coming from a funeral or tomb world (not necrom tomb world... unless that irony of putting a funeral world on a tomb world jives with you) and they basically have this entire population that focuses on funeral rites and maintaining these tombs and graves for probably billions of saints and fallen warriors... so the old Terran phrase "one foot in the grave" permeates their entire world, and then grey split on the left leg represents them and their people always being a step away from death... whether their own, or those of the people, shrines, and tombs they care for... And on a side note, thank you again for sharing your challenges and struggles with maintaining a healthy life, work, rest, sleep, eat, passion, and excitement balances... I do think it really helps to see that everyone has habits that can be detrimental to their hobby and health and really appreciate you letting us see into your world. #EmperorsGriefFTW

Pose is giving me a space techno viking vibe :p

Alright im inspired! *cracks knuckles* time to tackle the things I hate most about painting miniatures!... the painting part

I know that pushing yourself to admit and work on your weaknesses and how powerful that is especially for an audience of burgeoning artists is the whole point of the video, so I in no way want to diminish your struggles by brushing them off and saying “what are you talking about?? Its good enough!” Or something like that. That being said… This is seriously one of if not my favorite color schemes I’ve seen on a space marine. Like holy crap Im so in love with the design the shading the highlights the base colors the gold the INCREDIBLE silver the red and purple mix so well aaaAAAA ITS SO COOL

Oh my god this looks amazing, I especially love the plinth! I was so happy when your channel started because I was pumped to see another woman joining the creators I already love to see at the face of the hobby. I have loved every video and you immediately became my favourite KZfaqr, your personality and style and talent are incredible, and I’m excited every time you release a video! This one was an amazing idea, it’s great to see how you work through difficulties and you’ve inspired me to try challenging myself like this at some point! Can’t wait for your next video!

The name and the purple is giving one of those "we totally didn't use traitor geneseed" primaris chapters to me, for emperor's children.

You have actually inspired me to give my Iyanden another crack. Having painted Black Legion only for 20 years, I decided during lockdown to branch out, only to find I REALLY struggle with yellow & blue. Time to fix this without casting judgement on myself as I usually do!

In Heraldry a split or quartered arms is usually down to combining two noble lines. If Space Marines follow the same pattern then the Emperors Grief might be a chapter originally combined from the remains of two chapters (maybe they were nearly wiped out after fighting together with only a few left?) And the white leg might be the remnant of a previous quartering (or 'dimidatment') in the past. So maybe 1000s of years ago in the Age of Apostasy the Bringers of Sorrow (purple), fought alongside the Grievers of the Throne (white) maybe against a corrupt Cardinal or something, and were nearly wiped out apart from a handful of guys. Then Sebastian Thor said they could combine their Chapters to create the Bringers of Grief. Then millennia later during the Indomnitus Crusade the Bringers of Grief (Purple and White) fought back to back with the Emperors swords and were nearly wiped out (again), but G-Man said they could combine their chapters (again for the Bringers of Grief) to continue as a new Chapter - The Emperors Grief. With that single White element being the only record of the Grievers of the Throne (though their legacy goes on).

Lore ideas: 1. The grey leg - long ago a hero of the chapter named Azim defeated a horde of Tyranids whose corrosive ichor removed the purple from the outside of his left leg. This was adopted by the chapter as a symbol of sacrifice and stubbornness in the face of adversity. Purple is historically the colour of an emperor to display wealth and glory so the burning away of the colour symbolises the Emperor of Mankind's sacrifice and grief. Red is the blood spilled in His name. Gold is the throne that imprisons Him. Purple His glory and grey the ashes of His grief. 2. Pointing up - the chapter have a liking for orbital bombardments followed by drop pod assaults. This marine is relaxed, sword down, because he knows what's coming

The grey part of their leg represents the shard of the emperor that he cast off into space. It was all of the emperor's compassion. He removed it so he could kill Horus without hesitating.

This turned out incredible!! In particular the tree really works with the purple basecoat. I also like to imagine that he's heard another space marine make a minor error and he's going "_umm, actually..._"

That looks awesome Louise! Nice job. I love the colour on those stones and the purple tint on the plinth works very well. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I’ve been at this for years and I’m still Only at the, “I believe they’re tabletop ready and that’s fine for me, please don’t look too close” phase. 😅 But seeing you tackle this has made me want to try this approach out. 😊

Oh, do I feel you on this one, especially on the NMM gold bits. I've improved on painting red and purple, for sure, but convincing NMM is still evading me too! Obsessive head space? Been there a time or three, for sure. Your humor always makes your videos all the more fun to watch, for what its worth. I've been at it for about 15 years now and I'm still not nearly where I want to be as a painter, believe you me. Merry Christmas from the fine and glorious state of Texas, Miss Louise!

at least you actually have made that homebrew chapter. i'm still a YEAR into deciding my chapter colors and schemes! I'M GONNA DIE BEFORE I GET IT DONE AT THIS RATE!! DAMN YOU PROCRASTINATION/REAL LIFE!!

Louise: The half-grey leg could be a badge of rank. Codex Compliant chapters usually use helm color to denote sergeant/lieutenant/veterancy status, but the half grey leg could fit the bill here. I could see them being based on/wardens of an Imperial Sepulcher world where honored/high valued dead are kept. In keeping with the funerary theme, the Veterans of the First Company could call themselves "The Cremated" (because they've been burned in the fires of battle).

Another gorgeous mini. Thank you for sharing 😊

Dude, that looks absolutely fantastic!

Lore blurb why the chapter would have gray parts of their armor (not just leg), "The chapter has been known to make various sections of their armor gray to represent the death of his son [sanguinius|ferrus]" Which also sets them up to be a successor chapter of either of those two chapters.

I started painting miniatures when I was 12, I'm now 45. I recently dug out my old Ork army and I can honestly say the best model is my old Gazghull from 2nd Edition. Honestly though that's not a surprise because the Characters are the focal point of the army and I painted the Characters over a white undercoat and the rest of the models over a black underfoot to save time & effort. It also lends them a certain look that at the time I preferred to full blending & highlighting.

I love your videos. They always cheer me up and get me to hobby.

That base SLAPS! On the model, and the jingle of the chapter transitions!

I started watching Vince Venturella’s exploring colours series & found it very helpful. Im definitely with you on NMM the whole idea just puts me off, I guess this could be me New Year’s resolution, along with using oil washes too.

We loved this video. We watched this during some Christmas Warhammer hobbying. My son thinks your Space Marines are the best.

It came out looking great! Your chapter name suits your colour choices if you consider colour theory and the emotions they evoke. As for the a lore idea behind the white/grey spot. You could say that the longer a Marine serves in The Emperor's Grief, the more his armour is coloured. Your Marine might just be a veteran.

Emperor's Grief, great name. This marine looks like a higher ranking marine. Perhaps the half silver/gray leg helps denote something. Perhaps its the mark of a veteran? The black on the helment looks like a command mark. So I feel like your marine could be a veteran sergeant. The gray could be because a founding member of the chapter is now half bionic, or it reffers to a traumatic event where half the chapter was turned to ash/and or dstoyed. Or it could reffer to half their homeworld being destroyed. I hope these ideas help. I love homebrew chapters 🔥

I can definitely relate to the obsessiveness leading to poor health. I was trying to do something new and challenging a few years ago, and got so wrapped up in what I was doing that I managed to give myself some of the symptoms of anaphylactic shock (I didn't recognise it, a doctor did later). This led to a six month journey of going to various medical specialists, while carrying around two epipens, until they came to the conclusion that I just needed to stop my blood pressure from falling to low in the heat.

Great work, really like the fact you covered something you felt your not as good at. It's nice to see someone show they aren't just immediately good at something. This hobby takes practice, patience and perseverance. My favourite way to do red is to add a bit of blue (or purple) to the base shade and just work up to pure red, with maybe the very lightest touch of yellow for the pin highlight. Also welcome to the world of adding purple to everything now, its how I do almost all shading.

I love your painting style and you are far greater than you think. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

The name and unique scheme are already making me fans of these fabulous boys and would love to see them further developed! As for the grey strip maybe a chapter tradition is that with the exception of the most important identifiers the chapter actually have to EARN the right for them to rep the chapter scheme with there armor getting more filled out the more glory they win for the emperor. This marine with only the final segment of his leg missing is close to being fully honored!

The painting scheme about this primaris is just amazing ! congratulations and thanks for your channel. Long life to Rogue Hobbies !!!🤟😉

Another awesome vid! Cheers Rogue ⚡️

Absolutely amazing.

This is an awesome video/painting video idea! I think that pushing yourself to paint things you arent comfortable with is a very healthy approach to the art side of the hobby. hell, that same mentality is why i began painting warhammer models in the first place! I have had a bunch of injuries between my brain and my right hand, and the idea of losing fine motor control sucked, so i picked up painting 40k as a hobby. I figure that pushing my brain/muscle connection to its fine detail limits are the best way to keep my fine motor control intact as i get older. Seems to be working.

He looks absolutely stunning, gives me motivation to improve on painting skills. Awesome video.

This is such an amazing paint job. Loved the whole thing!

Trees not being brown has been an endless source of grief for me.

Emperors Grief could be a hint at having failed the emperor by not rising to a challenge. Each member of the chapter is an individual that has had their previous chapter colours and history stripped away and in penance they work at building on past failings. Each time they succeed they get a new part of their armour painted in the Emperors Grief. Those of the highest ranks are all fully painted. Those newly brought to the chapter are all bare metal. The one you painted is a captain preaching the values of self improvement and the fact that only half the leg is bare metal to act as an ever lasting reminder that there is always more to improve on. ? Maybe something like that?

I totally understand the hyper focus rabbit hole! Forgetting to eat, or drink. Louise, I love your style and use of saturated colours. It’s unique to only you!

Usually variant colour schemes could be excused as a battle honour or campaign badge. So chapters or specific troops who took part in a certain campaign might say be allowed to paint a kneecap or a leg or a codpiece or whatever a different colour.

Umm, ACKCHYUALLY, you did an amazing job! Props to you for opening about your weaknesses and insecurities and for actively trying to improve upon them. I love the color scheme and design and his sassy stance is perfect!

i've been watching mini painting videos for years, but this is one of the coolest concepts for a video i've seen.

Absolutely gorgeous.Your brush control is nuts. Merry Christmas Louise + team.

Amazing work Louise. Taking a proactive hand at something you feel weak at something you see as shameful or not good enough is a massive sign of strength. Addressing what causes that and working to improve is the only way we can grow. And yes taking moments for distance and self care are absolutely part of that process. As for the chapter lore? This whole process kind of reminded me of the Fallen. As lion El'Jonson has returned he has taken some of these redeemable warriors to fight at his side. Unfortunately these forces are extremely limited in number. To combat this a Primaris demi-company has formed using geneseed of these redeemed Fallen. Under The Lions watchful eye The Emporer's Grief took to their first engagements hungry to prove that not all those who falter are lost. The chapter keep this a loosely guarded secret opting to let their actions speak for themselves long before such a history is revealed. The Emporer's Grief is often deployed in unison with other Imperial forces. Especially those that are suspected of renegade action. Though they can quell rebellion with bolter and blade they are just as likely to avoid the in fighting altogether with empathy and inspiring battlefield litanies.

Someone at my local hobby store recently informed me that you can use air metallics as metallic contrast paint, and it is AWSEM!

You are honestly an amazing painter! It's really cool to see your process and what you think of your own work! Now for the emperor's grief, I was thinking the official records state that they are a successor chapter for the blood angels but the other chapters and inquisition suspects something else. After being commissioned by roboute guilliman personally using a 'unknown' gene seed, the emperor's grief have been tasked to seek knowledge as about the eye and to find a way to close it! Due to their task, the need for perfection and almost cult like worship of the emperor many suspects that perhaps the gene seed used by fabius bile to create Fulgrim's clone may have been used. Because of their task and more likely the lack of trust, this chapter is always accompanied by an inquisitor and squad of sisters of battle.

Merry Christmas!! Thanks for all the awesome vids to watch and most importantly for the Inspiration!

Damn that Jam hits hard at the end. Never forger how talented you are.

I love your reposing of the mini. The pose is natural and doesn’t seem forced. As in, a human could be in this stance and not struggle to keep it. As for the grey, how about calling back to the ashes from the incense they burn as they pray to the Emperor on His throne?

I feel this video in my soul. Its like you're in my head saying all the things i think.

Awesome video concept and very good way to exercise your weaknesses

I love the way you've really pushed into this challenge. I definitely hope to have some of that spirit this coming year to help my craft improve!

I love that chapter name! It reminds me of the gamer slang "griefer" which would make them an antagonistic bunch.

Louise talks about getting in the zone. My AuDHD arse fully understands.

Great video to make me feel better about my own painting, love it keep it up
