  1. You are smashing it with the kit bashes, Jon! Great video. A bit disappointing you didn't use your own blood for the blood effects, however… Grimdark can be a bit hit and miss in making it look intentional, but I think you did a really good job of it. Please make more kit bash videos and please keep painting up your kit bashes on video. They are the best. And it's only half a kit bash without a paint job! Thanks.

  2. I've honestly enjoyed the Kitbash the most, as it shows what we can do with other bits and misc items.

  6. Upbeat 80'sish music as the musical soundtrack for painting grimdark? Ha! I see you Ninjon.

  7. 1. Yes I do. It has really improved my engagement with my army
    2. Yes. Every different artist's interpretation of Grim Dark informs my style.
    3. Frickin' yes. I loved this, your defiler, and I am eager to see you paint the ridiculous monster kit bash you made from the ogre scraps.

  11. Do I paint in grimdark? Sometimes.
    Do I like watching you paint grimdark? Yup. All your vids tbh.
    Do I like watching you kitbash then paint a thing? O yeah. I like seeing unique models.

    Love your stuff man. Can't wait for the next.

  12. The lore actually goes even farther funny enough. During the Horus Heresy the World Eaters were allied with the Knight House of Ordax. Who funnily enough utilized a large number of Armiger Knights (Non-Chaos Wardogs) that were said to hunt in packs.

  14. Great work, very realistic. In my personal opinion you do a great kitbash

  21. Like video and grim dark style. I think tmm and more weatherd hides so many crimes that it's better for beginners than trying to do the clean box art more people should give it a try

  22. I like the grimdark style, but the overlap with Blanchitsu can get boring, so I really like how you've kept it bright, instead of just brown.
    I'd like to see more colourful and bright grimdark painting, maybe even grimdark synthwave.

    Of course, that could be whatever music you're using speaking – it's very New Order, and has me in the synthpop/synthwave mood.

  23. Love the grim dark and the kit bash and paint-do some tyranids grim dark please

  26. What’s funny is I kitbashed by assault intercessors to have chain spears/pole arms

  27. This is my favourite of your videos. Mostly for the "chain spear" but the model was pretty dope too 😜
