Excellent. I painted one of these about 3 years ago, before contrast paints existed, and it was hard work! You should do the Glottkin next!

[@Warhipster]

Thanks Mark! It's quite the model to paint right enough! I'll certainly get the Glottkin added to the list.

[@sdghtjsdcgs]

@@Warhipster Get a 3d printer and make a bunch. I have about 5 of each greater demon, they cost about $5 a piece in resin, more options and have superior detail imo. The STLs are also free.

[@Thornspyre81]

@@sdghtjsdcgsGW sends him stuff, as much as he paints he probably doesn't have time to do resin printing, nor does he need too with how much stuff he gets sent.

[@patton631]

Nicely done! Can’t wait to start my Nurgle army once the AoS battletome comes out. Thanks again for all your hard work on this demon army.

[@Warhipster]

I'm looking forward to that book too and seeing what I can maybe build out to. You're more than welcome and I'm glad you've been enjoying the videos!

[@crochetcreations6794]

I think this deserves more likes with all this time and effort put into it

Aaaaah! He's only gone and done it! This was brilliant 😁

[@Warhipster]

Thank you so much Hellglazer!

[@brendenconolly7161]

Brilliant work as always Josh! A lot more complicated than I expected!

[@Warhipster]

Thanks Brenden! There's a ton of detail on the model so it's easy to get carried away with it.

[@mariegilbertson8206]

That is disgustingly gorgeous - I want one! Amazing work as always, Mr Warhipster 👏🏻👏🏻

[@Warhipster]

Thank you so much Marie! It's a really fun model to paint so I can thoroughly recommend picking one up.

[@eganharvey442]

There any chance you would consider taking the plunge and try to make a painting guide on how paint rotigus to look like the paint scheme in the box and in the tome? No one has ever done it and if you do make one that'd be two times the GUO painting guides that'd be the first made for those color schemes.

[@Warhipster]

I’ve no plans for that any time soon I’m afraid Egan, I’m all daemoned out! For now though, if you use the armour recipe from this Mortarion tutorial I reckon this should work quite well for Rotigus’ flesh: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZ_Pg6B6bpd5idU

[@davestrong4487]

This is one guy still on my list of to gets, along with my deathshroud. I'll be saving this for later lol. Incredibly good work as always!

[@Warhipster]

It's such a cool model, it'll look amazing in your collection. Thank you so much!

[@eganharvey442]

Happy to be Like #3! That thing is bloody perfect!

Fantastic

Thanks Mark!

[@tonybayer2546]

Just got this guy as a Christmas present and I must say I'm very excited to get to work on one of these, I'm a Space Marine player but this is one of those models you just have to have if you love the building and painting side of Warhammer. I was surprised to see how large the base was, doesn't even fit the XL painting handle GW sells for stuff like Dreadnoughts, also this will give me an excuse to go to my hobby shop to buy a ton of paint.

[@Warhipster]

That's an awesome Christmas present Tony and you're right, it comes on a heck of a base - it's bigger than some of our plates!

[@Digitalfiendscom]

I've wanted this model since I dipped my toe into AoS 2nd ed a couple of years ago but had so many other models to buy. Finally just picked him up this weekend and now I find this. :) Perfect! Thx! With the new Maggotkin battletome and Shadow Throne starter coming out this month, it is almost like Christmas or something. :P

[@Warhipster]

That sounds like perfect timing and like you've a great few weeks/months of hobby ahead of you!

[@theadro91]

Good lord this is pretty!

[@Warhipster]

Cheers buddy!

[@ZZJohnDyerZZ]

Just leaving a comment to say thanks for this video! I got the big flabby boy for christmas this year and your guide has been getting me all sorts of compliments on my own work-in-progress! I wondered if you had any plans to do videos for the World Eaters units coming next year - particularly Angron? I'd love to see your take. Thanks again!

[@coolguy10060]

The nurgle line is absolutly the best model line of gw's models i really get uncomfortable looking at this monstrositty 😂😂 great job man

[@Warhipster]

There's some amazing miniatures in the line though I think you're right there, this one is a real beast!

[@chalkdemon8019]

Yeah, the chaos models are really beautiful and colorful when you think about it. Each god has its own signature color that applies to 99.9% of its models: Khorne-Red Nurgle-Light Green T’zeentch-Light Blue or Turquoise Slaanesh-Purple and Pink Paint models up from all four and line them up, and they almost look like some sort of grotesque but beautiful rainbow.

[@sdghtjsdcgs]

They're also the most fun to paint. The AoS line blows 40k out of the water for the most part.

[@Swornmanpower9]

These Tarkir art cards make me want a return to Tarkir block

[@deffkon_c1242]

Have you done a Blightking yet 😮 oh I must check back! 🧐😆

[@Warhipster]

I’ve not and I can’t say I’ve any plans for them right now - I reckon the various Death Guard videos I’ve done should more than cover Putrid Blightkings though.

[@deffkon_c1242]

@@Warhipster thank you for the reply and video's to check out, I'm sure it will be more than helpful and possibly still beyond my level to achieve 🤣 really loved seeing my favourite Greater Demon coming to life in colour 😊

[@specialk_gaming]

nice

[@Warhipster]

Thank you!

[@kampeo]

can you do the glottkin as well? I would love that!

[@vladtheimpaler3625]

Any suggetion for Rotigus skintone？ I want less green.

Plaguebearer flesh reminds me of changing baby diapers

[@Warhipster]

Haha, it's certainly an unpleasant colour!

[@russ5838]

Looks A1 m8ty, you make it look so easy, you have some serious skills my friend. Loin cloth Josh, you wanted to say Bum Flap did you not? :)

Thank you so much Russ! Haha, it did cross my mind once or twice!

Praise Nurgle!

[@emanueledibona5929]

War, what contrast would you use if you had to change skin tone from green to sickly blue?

[@TheAranan]

As a master of the contrast paints, could you share any tips on applying them to large areas without getting visible brush marks? Things like large, flat armor panels or cloaks. I've seen you do them in previous videos and it seems like the paint just goes so smoothly on, but when I try to replicate it it's streaky. I'm clearly missing something. :)

[@Warhipster]

Try adding a dash of medium either Lahmian or Contrast medium to it. Remember you always need a little more paint than you think on your brush. If you don’t have enough it’ll come out scratchy almost every time. You need enough paint that it’s visibly full but so much that it’s forming a drip. Keep your brush strokes methodical and take your time covering it. Being gentle and methodical will go a long way towards smoothing it out.

[@sdghtjsdcgs]

Late, but try the express line from Vallejo. They take way longer to dry, so you have plenty of time to make adjustments.

[@levimarsden]

i wish my green came out that bright :(

[@ulkair3650]

Comment a year ago, but if you still want to know it’s because he doesn’t mix the pot.

[@Wolf1337DK]

Are you gonna do any Blightkings or Pusgoyle Blightlords?

[@Warhipster]

I've not got any immediate plans for them, but I shall certainly add them to the list! In the mean time you might find some of the Death Guard videos I did handy, and you can find them all in this playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLhgWgr4lFYKfGXcOT0vOHFYuhof9WSw2i

This is disgusting. I love it! The exposed subcutaneous fat is especially gruesome.

[@Warhipster]

Thank you so much!

[@scottywan82]

I will say my two biggest struggles with these tutorials are following them when I feel like the camera is so far from the model and the length of time between paints. They are great painting recipes, but I often find myself skipping ahead to see where it goes and losing track of the overall process.

[@brendenconolly7161]

Hey @scottywan82, if you’re a KZbin paid subscriber to the channel or a Patreon supporter you get access to painting guides which help with this exact challenge

[@Warhipster]

Framing can be a bit tricky at times, especially with these bigger models but I'll certainly see what I can do in the future!

[@gallien]

Was that grey seer that you primed it with?

[@Warhipster]

This one was in Wraithbone gallien, a slightly change for me!

[@joshbarber3213]

I'd love to see you do an Olynder. Please respond, I showed you my comment ;-;

I shall add her to the list, Josh!

[@XavierArnau399]

The 4 greater daemons painted in 11 days? wtf

[@azir64]

The Warhipster is a painting legend.

[@Warhipster]

After doing the other three it seemed wrong not to include the Great Unclean One. :D

[@Kerath]

The Contrast Paints were simply created to paint this wrinkly abomination with ease.

[@Warhipster]

Right?! They're just perfect for models like this.

[@GordonMcLachlan]

Absolutely disgusting in the best possible way! :D

Thank you very much Gordon!

That’s so gross. But in the best way.
