I love when you do these videos and show how the wider artistic world relates to warhammer. I can really see your art school background shining through, I love it

[@OlegC3D]

The inquisitor at the end definitely hit the spot with the colors! I'm a huge fan of Beksiński's art, thanks for introducing me to John Blanche! definitely gonna try his colors for my next piece

[@AriSolMorningstar]

One of my favorite of jays paintjobs, absolutely makes me want to try this Maybe one day if i started a black templar army

[@Pyre001]

The interesting thing about the Zorn palette is that with the colours you can actually create a decent green (Ivory Black is *slightly* blue), but mostly, the Zorn palette creates very good (pale) skin colours.

[@euansmith3699]

Those are great paint jobs; and Spindly von Legg, the inquisitor, is a get bit of conversion. Jay, with hundreds of Black Templar minis all painted up, "Maybe I can get something that looks like those John Blanche paintings..."

[@kuddlykraken2157]

This is an absolutely wonderful video! I love watching you experimenting with different art styles and materials for your Space Marines and I'd love to see more Astartes painted in different art styles by official Warhammer Artists

[@sophia_comicart]

Really glad you did the second model for the shape and gesture of the model because was thinking what it really needs is like an abandon or something. That said your yellow on the marine is probably the best representation I’ve seen of translating Blanche into a model of the new kit videos going around.

[@Dadley920]

The muted Blanche effect was nailed here Jay!!! Great Job!!

I know Jay has referenced the model before in one of the Black Templar videos, but given the BT Castellan is very heavily inspired by (I believe) a Blanche Artwork I'm kinda surprised he didn't use these to paint up an artwork accurate Castellan

[@drebodollaz3504]

It’s basically an exact replica of the black Templar artwork he did for 3rd edition rulebook

[@catcadev]

LOOOOVE Blanche's art. Blanche's art is so disgusting and stark. The pallette is so fascinating to work with-- I myself have used a Zorn pallette, using only warm colours and it works wonders. My Templars have blue power-sword glow-- the pallette makes the blue pop like nobody'a business. I'm also supremely excited to see what he does for Trench Crusade

[@cbjewelz]

That sounds cool! do you have any pics to share?

[@gribblegreeble]

Glad you addressed the Zorn pallette...he had a neo-gorhic influence, but Blanche's secret weapon was Zorn.

[@theyobby]

i've been thinking about the idea of painting in this style for awhile but didn't really know how to approach it. you did an amazing job bringing something to life that i've only had the vaguest of ideas about trying

[@ThePlasticBaron]

I think the sets are supposed to be used together in order to get to full affect

That marine is absolutely beautiful

[@TylerSantinelli]

I'd love to see a followup on how to integrate this palette into a more traditional paint scheme. Maybe Ultramarines would be difficult to swing, but a white-armor chapter must be doable while maintaining the Blanche vision. Very fun video, and fun paint set!

[@Fafnersbane]

Great paintjob Jay! I love the yellow on the spacemarine, I think the blue-green shadows realle makes the warm orangy yellow pop! The red on the checkerboards feels a little thin next to it. I know it was done with a speed paint, but i would really love to see that pattern with a super saturated dark red!

[@leonardneubeck1003]

This is the painting that portais everything Warhammer stands for

[@andydogdad4349]

Jay this has gotta be 1 of your best videos! I love videos where you just get artsy fartsy and go wild! Would love to see you make a john blanch black templar!

[@PackmasterJack]

They look pretty Blanche-inspired to me, Jay. I'm looking forward to these sets so much, and more with every video I see of them.

[@JaceTheDragon]

I'm going to intentionally/unintentionally throw some shade on you, by saying... I really didn't think you'd come close to John Blanche art when you unveiled the paint set XD Mostly because I didn't think _anyone_ could bring a real-world mini close to that style (as you said, minis are *real things* not pictures on a flat page). However, I am __honestly__ impressed with the finished product. It actually does capture the style I remember--I got started with 40K in its 3rd Edition and this art was _everywhere_ back then, but I never saw a mini that matched the style. This Space Marine *does* and you should be proud of it. (And if I'm honest, I like it better than the inquisitor, but I'm a sucker for checkerboard patterns!)

[@FlippyDipDipper]

Love when Jay is able to go ham on the artistry. You can see his thoughts really come alive. You're awesome Jay!

[@chaseherrington]

I was so hoping to see if Jay would get a set of the JB paints. Very cool to see how he used it and what the colors look like!

[@michaelmjb9945]

Looks awesome! definitely going to try this in the future.

[@riverrunners3621]

That color palette just gave me flashbacks to art school

[@NordicDragon89]

Lovely result! The marine looks fantastic but I prefer the base on the inquisitor. It would have been interesting to see the volumes swapped on the minis, painting the marine with volume 2 and the inquisitor with vol 1, I feel like that would have been easier to work with, but they both look like they would fit in a Blanchitsu article in white dwarf. :)

[@Luis_LG93]

Zorn palette is my jam and this seems like such a fun set. Will stick to Model colour vermillion, Game colour extra opaque heavy goldbrown (now OOP, go buy what you can find it is 10/10), heavy body titanium white and citadel Abaddon black. So much fun to find creative ways by limiting yourself.

[@Rasmus.Elnegaard]

This was really interesting, and I liked the paintjobs, especially the inquistor 👍 I would love to see you incorporate these colours into "regular" paintschemes. My favourite picks would be dark angels where I feel the dark green and the reds can do something interesting. Alternatively some necrons with classic green glow, just because I have a hard time picturing how that should work.

[@son-of-Mandalore]

You should do a gravis squad with melee weapons that you can play as assault terminators for your templar, it would be epic

[@albinonoodle5229]

What's this made out of in your mind? Like aggressors with the terminator arms?, could work I suppose but those terminator arms are really showing their age now.

[@son-of-Mandalore]

@albinonoodle5229 I personally used heavy intercessors and added black templar melee weapons, the size isn't different from the normal gravis arms and it looks really nice

[@evanherland504]

If you haven’t read or looked at Phillipe Druillet’s work you need to see it. The father of the space cathedral and gothic structures. His six voyages of lone sloane is the perfect place to start.

[@erik_the_red-t5x]

I think out of all the tubers that have got these paints, that space marine is probably the closest I've seen looking like a john blanche..

[@Seizedfaun]

I really like what you did to the inquisitor and would like you to try using these on something that is supposed to be cute and vibrant like moonstone or something.

[@sawoodburn]

In early! Happy new year Jay, awesome content.

[@tiberiumnp8030]

I’m looking forward to getting these paints individually!

[@matthiasbonnici5266]

You did a great job and they do feel the right color wise but I think you need a backdrop behind them, a lot of Blanches characters are the highlight of a bigger scene behind them.

[@betchouwetch8466]

I think you did good! The space marine is great, reads very Blanchian to my eye. With the inquisitor, I feel like you were fighting against the paints rather than working with them. I wonder if you’d started on a white prime it could have made things easier?

Wayne Barlow, didn’t he make the kings new portrait.?

[@Lanessar8008]

I think as a "professionally trained" artist, the biggest miss on this video was not actually using the Zorn palette - just using four colors you labled as needed for the palette. The "zorn palette" isn't JUST four colors, but a mixing exercise. You get better by using those four colors in different amounts combined to create the tones you need.

@@catcadev nah, warhammer 40k isnt actually some sort of one of a kind magical thing that is so unique that no one else would try it. att its core its just warhammer fantasy mashed together with dune.

"Why DID Warhammer 40K look different?" there, fixed it. 40K now looks like a run off the mill scifi wargame, if anything, even duller and more generic to "appeal" to new audiences. TLDR: Boring

[@dexterbeazley1501]

1 MINUTE LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@oskar6661]

Yeah, I think Blanchitsu style is best applied to heavily kitbashed minis. The guys over at Grimdark Compendium push this idea to the absolute limit. I've never liked Blanche's art (from an art perspective), but I think he definitely produced the "vibe" of 40K more than any other artist. I think GW is moving far away from their punk-rock roots and that's includes the art. It's so wildly lazy/uninteresting now that it's sad.
