How To Paint Grimdark Imperial Fists
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
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. You absolutely killed it with presentation and clarity. It's so cool seeing content creators raising the bar and helping make this great hobby more and more accessible to everyone.
Keep up the great work 👍🏻

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.
This is some top tier production value and painting! I likewise love the grimdark side of the hobby so hopefully you have many more tips and tricks I can learn from!
I always get so nervous when you cover your beautiful mini in grime… but then you just make it look 100x even better

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.
Your content is the gold standard to me, your editing and painting is second to none. Glad to see your upping the youtube content
Man I just got done painting my first set of space marines from the starter set and this just shows me how far I have to go. Exciting!
This is awesome for when the addiction to plastic crack finally kicked in. Thank you so much, subbed, and waiting for more.

Amazing video, the content is great and the edits are amazing! Cant wait to see more!
Perfect editing, good voice for KZread, I have no doubt you’ll make it on KZread. Love all your work I’ve seen on IG.
Amazing once again Maverick!! Really enjoying these videos
The quality of the painting, audio edit and graphics are all amazing. Subbed!
Hey Maverick, thank you for bringing me back to Warhammer. I’m striving to get more creative with my builds!

Such a good video! It makes this kind of paint job so much more attainable. I feel like I can actually attempt this!
Love the feel and design of this video! Definitely do more of these. I'd binge your channel for sure.
This, and a few of the others you've done like it, have been a massive inspiration to me in making my Red Corsairs army (which sat unpainted for nearly 10 years) really come to life. Thanks man, keep up the great work and informative videos!
This is honestly super helpful, thank you for sharing your knowledge.

My absolute favourite ARTIST on KZread! Amazing!!!
This has become my favorite video on KZread, I love how much information is packed into this short video and how great your editing and final product is. I think under 8 minutes is The Sweet spot for KZread videos these days and I would call this a perfect KZread video short sweet and to the point. Please make video similar to this of other factions and just show off your skill! ❤ And props to you for having one of the most badass intros. I love the 8-Bit Gore theme it suits you brother!
Dude! amazing video! cant wait to see what you do next! I would love to see some World Eaters both 30k & 40k. Keep up the great work!

The first grim dark that I've actually enjoyed. So well done and the editing too that I ordered all the materials to replicate! Much appreciated 👍
Great video! I love the eye part with the heartbeat sound. 😂 Really nice editing of the video.
Alas. This is the dude who has been putting out all of this next level work I've been seeing all over the internet. It doesn't get any more grim dark than this. Well done sir.
I absolutely love the format of your videos and your shorts on Instagram! They are the perfect “bite” size length! Keep it up my man!
Fantastic Job ! I love the wear and tear on the armor and weapons, it's so much more realistic. !! Very nice Imperial Fist Marine !
@Maverick - Love your video and paint style my man! Wouldn't believe this is your first time making video(s)!
Such a gorgeous paintjob. Insane skills in video making too. Looks legit asf. Thx for doing this.
I liked your video's vibe and production. The retro feel was a great touch. I like IF too. Sigi is my favorite, as well!
Absolutely brilliant tutorial - thank you

you know, ive always wanted to paint one but ive never been able to find a way to grimdark gold the way I want to. I think I would do white custodes
Dude your grimdark minis are insane, that’s exactly what the WH franchise needs. Keep it up!
You are hands down my favourite artist in this hobby. You capture the grim dark effect perfectly. Please do a Novamarine in this style it’s my favourite chapter that I’m working on!
Nice results, clear and concise instructions, and you made me laugh more than once. Liked 👍
This is by far the best and most useful miniature painting tutorial ive seen
This is some quality content!
This Imperial Fist technique is amazing, the best I have seen in my opinion. Love your work. Now to go ruin some minis trying to replicate your results! Thanks for the video.
that paint job is absolutely awesome...100% gonna try copy it lol
You make this look easy, very impressive!
Imperial fist at my favourite chapter and I loved watching this
God damn that airbrush work is clean
Wow I've never seen that airbrush blood trick before, that's such a good idea! I'll definitely be using that for all kinds of stuff from now on lol
This is the best single marine tutorial I've ever seen
I love your choice of music
The way you portray brutality in your minis perfectly encapsulates the "grimdark" aesthetic that makes 40k....well, 40k. Can't wait to see more.
Best Imperial First painting tutorial EVER !!! I got to get me some of that AK interactive stuff I love me some grim dark marines

Your tutorials are INSANEE

Btw, if you need to reach the longer duration that the algorythm loves, just talk to the camera to tell what you're going to do, and just say a few obvious things during the painting footage 😂😂😂
