Absolutely do the colour roulette again.

[@planet_gardener4031]

Seconded

[@celticrain8170]

Yeah it’s a cool concept. And yes, different factions with this challenge would be interesting to say the least. Keep em’ comin, it’s great stuff. 👍🏻

[@celticrain8170]

Awesome channel my guy. I know your always wondering why your viewers keep coming back. I gotta say this is probably my favorite painting channel for minis. I’ve learned more from your videos than any others online, even if you think they’re shitty lol. 🤙

[@perjohanaxell9862]

Yes it's a cool challenge! Helps to free your mind and get out of the box.

[@colinmorrison2446]

The local GW store just did this same thing this weekend.

[@sctbroadbent]

"Frost Drakes" They are a Salamanders Primaris successor chapter based on a frozen hell world.

[@charlieknight4538]

no it should be the "frozen green beans"

[@bunnybomb4149]

Y e s

[@somemate884]

Looks like big emp's plan of having the salamanders visit a frozen world didnt work out too well.

[@DesertRatPainting]

STOMP STOMP

[@daggerfly0087]

Absolutely

[@Miniac]

faded plum MVP

[@alexoke3097]

"Fulgrims Bane" they could be former emperor's children that remained loyalist

[@achijatheizzetbard]

I like that!

[@kambulwatts3309]

If rylanor lived this Is the chapter he'd join

[@BasedGhoul]

@@kambulwatts3309 Maybe he was somehow able to get loyalist Emperors Children out of dodge before the hammer came down and these loyalists eventually secretly formed a small little known chapter called Fulgrims Bane??? Their thing is they're a small special ops force who specialize in fighting chaos space marines, especially noise marines, and only the higher ups in the imperium know of their existence?

[@kambulwatts3309]

@@BasedGhoul I now know what I'm home-brewing today

[@1Kapuchu100]

I think this "Paint Roulette" thing is an incredibly idea. It allows you to explore paint mixing and blending, and a variety of techniques, more than regular minis and paint schemes, where you have all the paints you want. It breeds creativity, and gives (me at least) more to learn from your videos.

[@uthmanetn7855]

Still kinda feel like Brent already did this Paint Roulette thing already

[@1Kapuchu100]

@@uthmanetn7855 Maybe, but seeing as I have literally never seen this type of video before, it's new for me.

[@uthmanetn7855]

@@1Kapuchu100 I don't really mind Jon doing this,it's a great challenge and I love too see how others deal with this Challenge

[@jdinger]

@@uthmanetn7855 The overall idea of rolling a die was done by Brent, but Jon is doing it differently enough with how he's already got the mini picked & is rolling totally random unique colors from different racks VS how Brent picks a random mini & then rolls for an overall color (red, blue, yellow, etc) and then picks his unique choice of paint based on the colors rolled.

[@YodasMessenger]

Agreed 100% percent. Big fan of limiting the amount of paints to use in a paint job in general but randoming the colours forces you to think even harder and come up with cool spontaneous ideas, that you might never have to come up with if you were able to just choose all the colours you wanted.

[@Cusher667]

Omg please do more of these "let the dice decide" videos, this is so fun, i havnt been so excited to see the outcome of a model in so long.

[@flipvdfluitketel867]

I third this

[@BinxyBrown]

Was great also nice to see what colors you got out of it

[@braucsdaddy]

The mild panic in your eyes when you got your first two colors was priceless.

[@jnasta214]

Chapter Name: Thorns Respite. Lore: Guardians of overgrown chapter temples on a deeply shrouded and traditional planet. Sworn protectors of natural environments, and using combat tactics that display calm harmonies of peace and disciplined brutality. Make their symbol like a lotus flower with thorns on the stem.

[@user-qt3jy4ms5d]

that is the gayest thing i have ever heard.

[@taylorsackett2556]

Definitely got a strong Green Knight vide from Matt Colville's Priest novel

[@Drumfreak127]

“Slayers of the Grey” Best name

[@ericswearingenmusic9967]

Agreed. Or greyslayers

[@RyanEdwardsVA]

Yeah, Grey Slayers would be so great and fitting!

[@fullsent]

I wanted to come up with a chapter name, but some iteration of this is the winner so well done.

[@Maxillirator]

Yep, this is it. Every space marine painted this way should end up in this, the same chapter.

[@Drumfreak127]

This is like my most liked comment so far. May you all slay your grey 😂

[@jonathanswift7582]

With the shared Blue pigment in the Purple and Green paints I have this feeling like has some sort of Aquatic reference. The copper also reminds me of old-school Diving helmets and equipment. Sons of the Deep or Reef Walkers: A Fleet-Based chapter that coasts around some segmentum looking for prey.

[@Ninjon]

Oh very cool idea!

[@goldnage]

I really think your on to something! Some custom power spears and tridents could sell this theme a ton!

[@Velcraft]

My head went the same direction, so going to add some more name suggestions here: Depth Stalkers Void Mobula (manta ray) Kraken/Leviathan Slayers (some cool tyrannic war vet kitbash options here) and two joke entries: Marine Marines Aquamarines

[@leafcultist]

Oo, maybe they could be from an Aquatic world, like, their chapter homeworld is mainly water

[@j_chaos5811]

Same! Something like Abyss Hunters with a nautical theme.

[@that1scoutcollins851]

“The Mortal Plague” A loyalist chapter that broke away from the Death Guard that specializes in CBRN warfare. They like to work with the Death Korps of Krieg because of their similar specialties and propensity to soften up enemy lines.

[@km304]

"The Goody PewPews" Is what I think this chapter should be named.

[@TheStafman97]

Jon slotted hours to get the shot of rolling a 1 on that D20. He got it on the first try

[@Ninjon]

It was the 3rd try. About average for my attack rolls in D&D 😂

[@jamesbutler4243]

Absolutely do paint roulette again! As for a name, I like “the twilight wardens” the paint scheme really reminds me of really early mornings or really late evenings when the light hasn’t really reached or left everything quite yet. They could be a Imperial Fists successor chapter that inhabits far off worlds as an “occupying” force after battles

[@kimbrvenik2245]

Amazing! Definitely keep doing this, and take over the lore pages! I submit this chapter as “Aeris Dracones” - the Copper Dragons. The colour scheme reminds me of the oxidised patina of aged copper, and the word “Aeris” has a dual meaning of air/copper depending on context, so we could have a sweet Raven Guard or Salamanders successor here

[@robisonwells1]

I like how you can do something that is so technically advanced as this (it's far beyond my skill level) and yet it never seems like you're talking down to us--something I get from a few other KZbinrs. Very well done.

[@Ramza012]

That's a sweet dice box!

[@danielsanderson4239]

"The Verdant Vigil" The green really gives off a glade or peaceful and foggy Glenn vibe

[@bitzbox]

I love this paint roulette idea. Would never have expected these paints would have worked together but they really did

[@YodasMessenger]

Please more Paint Roulette or smth similiar to it. In my humble personal opinion, tackling mini-painting from unconventional angles and coming up with creative and out of the box solutions for problems is where you truly shine as an artist and a content creator.

[@marshallsonsteby3862]

I want to see this 3 colors for tyranids! Chapter Name - Druidic Heliotropes

[@alexknott1696]

"Brothers of the hanging plums" as a chapter name, very regal 🤔

[@alistairb5839]

Love it! Print it!

[@roofingwithhart6920]

Your ability to take advanced techniques, explain them simply, keeping it light hearted and fun, is a great learning experience for us viewers. Great work! Thanks!

[@quahodron2756]

"Imperial Fleshy Plums" Loved that Roulette.

[@NA-zs4xi]

I really love this idea, it would definitely be interesting to see you do this for every model and see what all happens, not just Space Marines, could have some really unique models! As for the naming, I'm bad as well but the white of the plum and that deep green really gave me kind of a snowy forest vibe, so something like The Frozen Branch of the Emperium, or Sons of the Wooded Tundra, something like those

[@bopaintsminis]

I've been looking forward to this one since the preview vid. Watching this after a long overnight shift. Cheers.

[@doczoff5655]

Yeah, more 3 paint roulette please... Really pushes Jon to find and apply inspired combinations, and oh boy did he do good!!

[@VinniWonka]

the copper cops! the fleshy tone looks like clean copper, the greenish plumish mixture looks like oxidised copper. kinda love it!

[@GarryWButler]

Do more of these "let the dice decide" videos. chapter name “Slayers of the Grey”

[@Crivicus]

Dang it Jon, now you have made me want to completely repaint my marines with a roulette colour scheme, I've only just finished them all! I think the name needs to be "Aequor Executioners" or something along those lines. Great video, as ever, and I look forward to your next roulette challenge.

[@gregoryaouad1313]

I think the Chapter should be called "Roulette Newborns" - The advanced genetic template that will exceed their Primaris Marine brethren. And also I would like to say that was an absolutely brilliant video! I learnt so much and really appreciated how you explained the process. Would love to see more content like this!

[@elricdotah]

The woodland fleshplums :D Also, keep the roulette spinning, love it.

[@donronzful]

The EMPEROR'S PLUMS

[@PunchingUpward]

I'd love to see this in a Tyrannid format since they have so much customizability! And there isn't much Nid' representation on youtube.

[@paradox1995]

The chair twirl makes me LOL every damn time! 🤣

[@ElNick09]

Purple, Green, and an earthy brown? I got three words for ya: Daryl's. Dank .Dudes. And I likethe idea of randomizing paint schemes!

[@kinkaid8553]

Really reminds me of "The Phantom" has a bit of a foresty vibe especially with the shrooms/leaves you did with the artis opus promotion. Chapter name "Phantoms" but for a video name id suggest doing something with more vibrant colours ie nagaroth night to genestealer & leprercal warboss green and a full range of metallic & washes to see how far you could push the concept, perhaps also chose a chapter logo (a nice skull is never a bad idea). Loved the vid and would love to see more dice roll concepts :)

[@user-rz7ih2vh1c]

Umbral Knights. Damn. I literally thought first 2 words that came to mind and it is actually Primaris Only chapter in lore. Crazy.

[@brainstorm8778]

I like Scott and Guy a lot but you are currently my favourite painting KZbinr right now, and this really tickled me.

[@Ed-xo9pc]

This was awesome, love to see you do more like this, especially as you talk through the process of how you use those colours so well.

[@tombombadil9338]

Me: Spends days on impcat trying to find good color combos, then testing all my triads looking for the perfect color scheme Ninjon: Ain't nobody got time for that Chapter Name: Scions of Fate

[@squidly162]

I loved paint roulette. That was a Hell of a paint job! That marine is obviously from the Emporers Samsquatch chapter.

[@czroce3586]

This comment has nothing to do with the video itself, which is super; But the fact that you put in amazon links for your tools for Australian audiences really made me fucking happy. Thank you, that small link solidified subscribing to you!

[@gt3155]

The Goondah Gray Slayers. Absolutely stellar job, Jon!

[@Kujireika]

[@TheBlackSpiral]

Wow, didn't expect those three colors to work, but the end result is fantastic.

[@actableteleportation2009]

[@PeterVerheirstraeten]

Also, from all nmm tutorials I have watched, none were able to summarize what you’re aiming for. Seriously helped.

[@alistairb5839]

Colour Roulette is an amazing Idea Jon! MOAR! Also I believe the Space Marine chapter should be known as "The Lavender Lads"

[@alfyb4512]

The Green Plums. I’m a literal kind of guy. And yes, do that again, Colour roulette is fun!

[@markrowlands1849]

Green and purple? Absolute Mad lad. There's no way... huh. Wow. That's amazing.

[@Lorkynn]

I'd love to see a whole squad of these to see how they would look on table. Also paint scheme roulette is always fun to watch, you never know when something could work.

[@wombatman5164]

3 paint roulette seems like an outstanding idea. As for a name for the custom chapter, I'd say "Tundra Knights". The color scheme puts me in mind of permafrost and the lichen beneath it, so it makes me think these marines came from a frozen world. Maybe a Space Wolves successor chapter?

[@user-vs5dt5ui3i]

Love your work. And like how you explain whats going on in your head while you paint.

[@juliehamel8330]

I love this this challenge! It's been around for a while in the copic marker community and I can't get enough of it. I'm such a color geek. 😻🌈 I hope the other mini painting peeps hop on that wagon.

[@jhoodfysh]

Extremely useful video Jon, gratz on a job very well done.

[@angelsolblade1800]

Wow very amazing video. Definitely do more like this. It was a pleasure to see you work with this model and scheme. Thank you for an amazing video.

[@razpenguin]

This guy turned out extremely rad. Lucky rolls for those nice colors, too. It's great to see how you move your brush around a model and make these techniques look easy; definitely a big help. Can't wait to see what happens next time if you do a roulette again.

[@Obviously_Nick-O]

The colour purple itself is usually associated with nobility and power, so something like "Knight's of the Palace" or "The Cavaliers" would fit nicely

[@nomusenopaint]

Holy Lord, again I admire your skill to place the highlights in exactly the right places.

[@astrozombiac3535]

This is definitely a good exercise in painting. I also think this was an excellent exercise for you in how to turn this into a learning experience. You did a fantastic job, both painting and teaching.

[@davidpascualfores3995]

"death saviours", in honour of your shirt, which is cool. This is the video I liked the most from your channel.

[@wait4tues]

This color roulette is pretty cool. I think I mostly watch your videos for the breakdown of the painting, watching it go from solid primer to complex fully painted mini. This one was interesting to me. I wasn't a huge fan of the plum for a while but once you started with the flesh tone for the copper it looked perfect. I love it. Please do more of these.

[@scryptogram5686]

the 3rd paint you rolled is one of my all time favourite paints for skin tones, allows you to do so many varied tones with very little effort, just different highlights

[@almost_zab]

Such a good exercise to do this frequently. Three random colors Is a great way to push your creativity, mixing and contrast skills. That was a great finished project 👌🏼

I love the space-capades idea! Also... Breakers of Dusk

[@MastaDRD]

I'm not the first to say it but I want Jon to actually see this comment and nesting it under comments where he's already been is less likely to work, I think. I second the Grey Slayers, and here's why: I think, with the colors we got to come out the way they did, with the sort of muted look to it even with a lilac and a green and an orange-brown, the name is fitting, maybe even fated. Here's my lore idea. The Grey Slayers were Dark Angels successors (or Salamanders successors, maybe) who encountered a very odd warp entity. It eluded them constantly in battle, inflicting minimal if any casualties, or so it seemed. However with each blow struck, with each battle fought as they hunted this monstrosity, their vibrant armor colors were gradually leeched away until they were no longer recognizable as they once were, only dulled hints of their original palette remaining in the deepest recesses of their gear. Their armor cannot be repainted, and any new armor they forge or requisition is desaturated and leeched grey the second it enters their possession. Stripped of their identity and former glory, they are now the Grey Slayers. Only by hunting down the escaped warp entity can they hope to reclaim their former colors, and they pursue the merest whispers of its presence with relentless, obsessive fury...

[@integraman78]

Heck yeah do more of these, this is interesting

[@aerlands100]

The Jade Knights. Love the green tones you came up with. Roulette was awesome! Would watch again. :)
