  2. Guys it's really literally so easy
    Puts in exuberant amounts of effort and motorical skill

  3. Really enjoyed this video mate. Id love to see more non warhammer branded painting videos. I love warhammer and just got back into painting it but these bright saturated colour videos are nice change from the grim dark. need MOAR

  4. One of your better videos!! Thanks!! Paint for yourself more often or at least act like GO Tendies!!

  7. idk why but the style/look of it really reminds me of like colored pencil drawings/sketches and its super weird but cool to see it on a 3D model, looks great

  9. Love this as I started a model with a lantern that I had to stop as I wasn’t sure what or how to proceed after an initial drybrushing the light source shine area.

  10. This video gave me for lack of a better term a “eureka” moment, I cannot wait to give this technique a go. Excellent video Jon!

  12. That came out awesome! I think that is my favorite paint job that I have seen you do to date. I love the style and will definitely be trying out those tips!

  14. Ninjon 17th June: Im NOT painting Leviathan.
    Ninjon 3rd June: I paint Leviathan Terminators

    Neat timetravel trick

  15. Is funny how much u and Scott didn't like 3d printing in the beginning, I'm proud of you guys!!! Love the video. Keep it going!!!

  16. Very interesting tutorial. Though I have to ask: for something that is not a display piece but part of an army, would you really choose this style? It seems to me the light is "artificial" (I.e. not the actual real-world lightsource) which may clash with the rest of the army or scenery. Like, if you don't commit to the same lightsource from the same angle for every piece in your army, you'll get a "clash" of composition! I understand this style for display pieces which are meant to be looked at from a certain angle, or for dioramas where every piece is done in concert and with the same lightsource in mind…

  19. the timing on this video, holy crap, I was just resetting my paint style for my Necrons and trying something similar. I will have to paint one up using this video as a guide. Sensei Rabbit looks great BTW
