The 'Grimdark' painting style is incredibly popular in Warhammer currently, but is it really the best way to paint? Is it just another fad? In this episode, we discuss the origins of the style and how it has changed over the years, our experience with it, and debunk some of the stigma around the gritty aesthetic and its affiliation with speed painting...Also in this episode, we talk more about the 'pile of potential', hoarding paints, hobby contraptions and the dreaded drawer of doom! And as always, don't forget to stay to the end for our parting hobby hack!
