Hello everyone and welcome back to the channel and something that I’ve been working on for the past few months. This project was inspired by a Kill Team box by Games Workshop and I took the opportunity to experiment with a new painting - stealing grime!

I wanted to paint these figures in a different way to how I would normally have gone about painting them as I wanted to achieve a more drab and grimdark style befitting how the miniatures looked. So after a bit of research online and watching quite a few YouTube videos, I decided to opt for the streaking grim technique to achieve that grimdark aesthetic.

It was definitely a step outside of my painting comfort zone but as the technique really seemed to work, I kept painting more and more! In the video, I will show you all the different miniatures I’ve painted using this technique.
