2nd Edition Grim Bright Dark Angel

Hi all and happy Thursday! I am stoked to finally start presenting new minis as well as my snazzy new 90s Grim Bright Dark Angels Painting tutorial! Sooooo, ere we go lads! And yes, you get bonus points if you heard that in an Orks voice in your head ;)

So much like my Ultramarines, I never seriously painted Dark Angels until this little phase over the last month and a half. Took me an evening or two to come up with my formula for them good ol dark green lads seeing as finding a replica for the old Citadel Ork Flesh/Dark Angels Green wasnt easy. Thankfully, AK made something fairly close with their Black Green. AK Black Green doesnt have quite as much yellow in it as the old Citadel color did, but it did the trick! I also utilized AK Alga Green which is a replica of the old Goblin Green from Citadel that everyone loves.

But yeah, after figuring out my formula, I sat down and went to work on a 5 man squad. I saved the last mini for my painting tutorial. I found doing the first 4 minis is a great way of getting my formula working right and cemented in my brain! The video itself took a little over 2 weeks to make from start to finish. Finishing the Dark Angels tutorial rounds out the 4 major chapters on my channel. Feels good to accomplish a goal that took me 2 odd years to complete!

If youd like to check out said tutorial, it can be found on my YT via OldGrumpyWolf (all one word). This will be my last indepth tutorial for a while. I plan on making some short fun tutorials in 2027, including an update to my Blood Angels tutorial as Ive changed my formula for those red lads a bit!

Anywho, I hope you all like this old Dark Angel bad lad and that my Dark Angels tutorial helps with your own painting in some small way! As always, I hope you all have an awesome and productive weekend!
