Do you think a darker, maybe blue skin would make Fyreslayers in general look abit better? Maybe even a dark blackcurrant colour or something?

I apply gold first since I like applying reikard fleshshade on the gold. It complements the purple quite well.

I came to your channel cuz youtube recommends warhammer kit bash to me, and then I saw abs and had to sub. Well played sir

Amazing job!

why not just spray paint gold and paint over with blue?

this is why house rules rock, like me and my dad use outdated models and stuff but since we don't care about playing traditionally, we just follow almost all 9th edition rules and make or break other rules

Awesome trick creating the moon with that piece of plastic!

I would not recommend Retributor Armor spray if you prime your models outside. That stuff gums up so easily in even a little humidity, or dries before hitting the model, leaving a dusty surface, if it's too hot or dry. It's an awful spray, I'd definitely look at other brands for basing in gold.

What I've found to be easiest is a gold over black zenithol, then fill in blue, then finish any trim the spray missed while cleaning up any blue mistakes at the same time. This makes all the hard to reach blue panels less demanding since they'll be black in shadow. You can also accomplish this by drybrushing the gold over black prime instead of doing a full basecoat.

Great STuff!

I dry brush the trim first. I'm telling you it saves so much time and looks amazing

I like DA Gold first.

Hope life is treating you well! And we get to see your return soon.

Even after all the caveats of “no clean up” etc gold first only won by 3+ min. However the “apart base with gold” is irrelevant as you can spray prime blue just the same. Apply that, chop 5.75 min off blue first and blue first is still fastest even given the 3-4 caveats.

Almost always faster to paint trim than panels. Trim is raised and you can use the edge of the brush to catch it. Panels require carefully working the tip into odd places.

i learned from painting knights that trim really aint that bad

please trevor come back to us

Upside of the genesteler: They got load of charisma. Down Sides: They are a Sigma Rizz getter of Stan Gyat Simps .

Me, taking two weeks to paint one miniature: oh. ok.

That is so cool!

Now we need to see someone who’s never painted thousand sons do it since obviously the method you prefer is going to be faster than the new method. Pretty biased data here.

so amazing I going to do this, thank you for the video😁

You can also basecoat blue with an airbrush first.. But its typically going to be faster or easier to paint inside out (so blue first) due to less mistakes needing cleaned up.

genestealer familiar, no assumtions needed, they are just canonically awsome perfect roommates/assistants/messengers already - very Helpfull - smart - likes spending time with you - low maintenance - smal - can surprsingly throw serious hands... i guess that can be usefull depending on where you live I want one

I use the gold first method, but that's mostly because I use Sycorax Bronze rather than Retibutor Armour, and as a layer paint it is easier to get solid even coverage by doing that step through an airbrush. I then wash with Reikland Fleshshade and drybrush with Silver. This makes a beautiful hue of bronzey gold, but this method is too finicky and messy to do while trying not to spill over onto the blue panels. I then go back in with blue and fill in the solid areas that stay pretty much solid blue without any extra detail layers necessary.

imagining 12 hungry pew pew bugs gun down a daemon prince is so metal someone should draw this epic showdown

This is an unfair comparison because you only did it to tabletop ready standards. Gold first parade ready is much simpler because you can instantly highlight and shade the gold when you start.

You are not funny

I honestly don't care how long it takes. Whatever looks better is my choice.

What a nonsense!!!! You are “very worried to say” the name of the color? Color that states “Negro”? Negro is word that actually means the black color in Spanish, from Spanish producer of colors … that uses Spanish word for their color?! World has gone unbelievable!

That's why they called It a heldrake

What I’d give for thousand sons blue spray paint

What if you hadn't built the models first to get to all those hard to reach spots? Would have been faster to paint the arms, torso and legs separated and finally assembled.

Asking the real question

thes guys make me smile every time

Never ask what happened to principal Skinner's platoon

The Nuln Oil took 30s longer over 'gold first', at that stage the models should have been identical! I'm not saying this was rigged, but it's hardly conclusive.

I'm picking this guy up for my Thousand Sons army in 40k. I'm ery excited to paint him!

Yup the wings you lit bashed look better

I feel like doing gold first is good if your using a different wash for gold. Since you did everything in nuln oil then blue makes sense.

Hive guards don’t shoot through walls, their ammo can fly around them. That’s what the lore of the spike cannon is for.

What are you going to use for the McBlips?

The gold blue base coat debate depends entirely on whether its thousand sons 30k or 40k the red gold of 30k scheme is definitely quicker with a base gold as I imagine the blue green of 40k is quicker with base blue

Just starter thinking about kit bashing and experimenting with the sculptures and damn does yours look good xD I don't think I could do the same but Rome wasn't build in a day so someday I hope to reach that skill :D Thanks for the video !

Hey man. I loved this conversion. Any chances you could try to do a lionel heresy loyal mortarion(from the famous lionel heresy loyal primarchs fan art) from either abbadon or his own deamon primarch and de-chaos it?

I print in blue with the Vallejo Deep Blue spray. Its basically Stegadon Blue, so your rubrics will be a lil bit darker but still cool. And its even faster.

i'm shamefully used gold primer to avoid the trim... then i had to fill in all the bits anyway with kantor blue DX

The galactic elephants are a raven guard successor since their successors are known to have physical mutations. Don’t @ me
