How did bro make a space marine helmet suffering from middle age baldness💀💀💀💀

[@RowdyTheHitman]

Space marines are blasted with growth hormones, steroids and a cocktail of other chemicals, so it would be a miracle if they had any hair left

[@EliasFakenami]

Morda tam pajacu

[@fenrirsrage4609]

1d4chan pretty much made a joke about how almost every single Space marine is bald. Anyone that has any ou ce of hair is a Hair-etic (unless they come from special Chapters like the Blood angels, Space Wolves and etc.)

You say "middle age baldness" like it's a bad thing.

[@jamesflames6987]

I was already really impressed by the paint job. But then I was utterly blown way by the boldness of covering it in dust. The final model has so much story and character. Amazing.

[@The_WarL0rd_Way]

Iron Hands, that is what I am painting my first army as. great video.

[@jc7997aj]

Patriot 105 Xtreme !! You gotta love that lil guy. I've had mine over a decade and it's a true work horse. Makes a perfect 1st AB if anyone is looking. You have the regular, fine and super fine options for needles. Can't reccommend enough.

[@SparrowNoire]

In light of your idea regarding "Wacky" paint-schemes that need a good touch of grounding in the 40k Grimdark Universe, I Humbly request that the Lamenters make an appearance! The McDonalds Marines need some love, and an appropriately grim paintjob to match their sad, sorrowful existence.

[@cowshedenderman5773]

The iron hands successors, the Sons of Medusa are my chapter and i would love to see a dive into them. A very unrealistic red-orange dessert base looks good on them.

[@Moonenvoy93]

The decal on the head was a great idea I feel that it was just out of scale that's why it was failing. The silver dome is a great improvement.

[@iain.sm.c]

Man, I think coating it in pigment powders was such a fantastic idea. Definitely adds a dimension of story telling

[@jamesmacken9501]

If you want a flamboyant scheme the Iron 10th's rivals the Emperors Children is the best you can ask for.

[@n3dstark]

Really cool results. So important to tie in your model with the base. That extra (but well demonstrated) bit of effort just elevated the model exponentially.

[@Jonny.Y]

I know that you’re a big fan of Deathwatch but I have a challenge. (The same challenge we all face), can you try to modify a small 5 man Kill-Team so they all have the same usual colour scheme but bring out their chapters and identity more than just painting their right pauldron in their chapter symbol? Detail through design! Great video as usual, thanks!

[@Kavouraki_]

I love that you put out so many videos. It enlightens my week and I get excited those days I know you are going to upload another video. Thanks for keeping the hobby motivation up and great content. I'm thinking doing similar Death Guard scheme as you have but looks so tricky haha

[@steveharrison76]

I’m not going to be hyperbolic here, and maybe it’s because I haven’t actually SEEN many Iron Hands minis, but that’s easily one of the best I’ve seen. That pigment powder trick and the rest of the techniques with the dry brush really make him a bit special, for my taste. I’ve just started back in the hobby and begun a Lamenters force, but now I want to paint some of these guys like that 😂 goddamnit 😂

[@xardas149]

Well the technique and the details are amazing, yet the end result is also....bad because as technical great as it is, long term would just bore you to death

[@steveharrison76]

@@xardas149 I don’t know, I really liked it.

[@thomas_st]

I would really like to see your interpretation of a Blood Raven Marine.

[@sillyness3456]

I support this notion. Ideally someone with a visibly stolen weapon, like a Terminator with a Custodian Spear, or a Bloodthirster's axe.

[@hamletthecockatiel6423]

Always so good to see new conversion videos!

[@Turalyon0001]

Carcharodons next would be pretty cool !

[@cynicfenrir3514]

I’d love to see a run where Jay works with some people and does a single model of their custom chapters(or faction equivalent). Even in a small selection you might get a very diverse/unique challenge, with interesting results. Amazing work, appreciate the content.

[@ajmetal2849]

Wow the cog-style shoulder pad a stroke of genius!

[@CarlyCurly_]

This is the earliest I’ve ever been to a video, happy to be here!

[@StagDigital]

The color scheme is simple, yet efficient, and you made it so alive with so little colors, well done !

[@sjaakninaber4989]

The Crimson Fists definitely needs some Reinforcements

[@Miodoe3]

Howling Griffons would be an interesting one to grimdark

[@Imperial_Gear]

I feel like Jay would have fun painting a Hospitaller marine, despite their armor being white like the White Scars, the gold and red stands out well, and with their silver helmet it is definitely something that catches the eye. Also checker patterns go great with them for more personalization and variety.

[@guillaumeblauwart1238]

Paint some Howling griffons pattern divided in 4 parts, red and yellow

[@Culebrunch]

[@liamhier8414]

Honestly I would love to see you tackle a marine from the scythes of the emperor. They have a very bright color scheme that would be fun to see brought back down into the grim darkness of 40k

[@superlurkeable]

JAY! It's Non-GW April! Give us more conquest :D Your old dominion video was hekkin awesome. Also this is probably the best Iron Hands scheme I've ever seen

[@Purportedzero]

Rahhhhh! Iron hands! I wish there were more bionic torso and leg bits. That’s the only problem I’ve run into. All the art shows robo legs and like a bionicle looking torso

[@BiomechanicalBrick]

all the identically shaped but differently vibrantly colored space marines do evoke early bionicle

[@blackc1479]

Gawd, watching you xacto that barrel out just gave me a ptsd flashback to trying to push bristles back into one of those cheap testors brushes when i was like 12. I put the blade all the way through the tip of my index finger. In on the thumb side, out on the finger side. 😬 Safety first kids.

[@brokenheroics8223]

Dude, this looks amazing. It's straightforward and "simple." I may borrow.

[@Wolfineer_]

You've said it now, I look forward to the Grim Dark Rainbow Warrior video XD

[@originalcontent9150]

So, there's a little-known chapter called the Yellow Jackets and i think it would be cool to see you free hand a wasp.

[@princepstkhan1639]

Hello Jay, I want to suggest the "Iron Fist" Chapter. It's not clear who they belong to, but I think they are Sons of Rogal Dorn. I have already kitbashed 10 Captains, a Master of the Forge, a Master of Saintity and a Chief- Apothecary. You did a great Job on your Iron Hand, a hard Contrast to the polished Amour the actual wearing

[@douglasbeckman9849]

Would love to see your take on the Carcharodons. Such a weird chapter, but really awesome painting and kitbash opportunities!

[@MrZangetsu1997]

I would love to see Jay paint up some Blood Angels on the Deserts of Baal

[@jessesosh7052]

I would love to see your take on the Iron Snakes! They were my original army choice as a teen and to this day I still really love their lore and style.

[@docsads1]

Dame that sliver head really pulled it together, was not felling it then boom came together

[@maxbrandt6]

Excellent work on your Iron Hands figure. Yeah, do the Brazen Claws chapter or Howling Griffons next! GOOD LUCK!!

[@grimshank]

I'd love to see you mess with some of the "official" homebrew chapters - Blood Ravens, Storm Wardens, and Red Scorpions

[@fixit9844]

Paint obsidian jaguars! They’re a pretty niche ultramarines successor, but they have a massive vendetta against orkz. Perhaps even… blue orkz?

[@edwardhedley]

This makes me want to go paint iron hands right now, great video!!!

[@Ladude90]

For drilling Barrels, I take a needle to pierce a little hole in the first place. Makes it easy to hit the right spot in the middle. Then it’s way easier to drill the hole with a drill. Optional. I drill the hole with a bigger drill at first and then I change to a smaller one. Gives a cooler front for a muzzle

[@KHFanForAll]

Great suggestions! Thanks for sharing!

[@Perkustin]

He looks pretty cool, the freehands are impressive. Personally i start with a Gun Metal prime, then i spray a sepia wash from above and a purple from below to add a little interest also emulates forged steel, it ends up very subtle on the finished figure. Drybrush with a lighter Silver then brush on Black Templar contrast (tiny bit of Airbrush thinner) all over. Next pick out some scratches/edge highlights with silver, you can be sloppy/just drybrush due to next step, varnish then a 'Starship Filth' oil wash. after it's dry i pick out the best looking edge highlights/scratches and leave the ones that look a bit sloppy under the Oil, varnish, armour done. You would do transfers/freehand after the black templar stage (before oils). The furniture on the weapons is painted pretty much identical to this, For the pouches i paint them in a ochre/khaki (kinda like British WW1/2 webbing) colour as it really adds a nice pop. For conversions i STRONGLY recommend the Bald Eradicator (and Hellblaster i think) heads as they look like faceless cyborg clones or something.

[@Slurgical_3D_Terrain_Channel]

Looks really good likewise with your patreon this month. Looking good.

[@Evohunter7]

I built a Kill Team of Iron Hands Terminators to use as Morloks (using Custodes Rules). I gave them all some kind of servo arm, big ass weapons, and made sure their silhouettes were wide. I love them. I also made an Intercession team and used Heavy Intercessor bodies.

[@corvetteee1]

Carcharodons would be awesome to see converted. The tribal tattoos on their armor are sick.

[@theemissary1313]

Amazing work. The only critique i would offer is that the black looks a bit like a really dark blue, like he's more an ultramarine at night.

[@Alphariusstolemycheese]

this is a nice change would love to see more.

[@MrCSisley]

I think I might have a colour scheme for you if you're interested on turning it grim-dark. Chest & Left Arm in Bright Red Lower Right Leg Guard in Yellow & Black Checkers Right Shoulder Pad in Yellow & Black Checkers The rest of the body in Silver (Add bonding studs where wanted)

[@MrRlsquared]

That shoulder tip, Chef Kiss!

[@theyobby]

i'd absolutely love to see you do a very ostentatious blood angel, the kind who writes poetry in between xenos-murder sprees

[@hdexplicit5721]

Hawk Lords are always fun, love the purple armour

[@mogwiawolf4354]

gotta make like a squad of salamanders cause that would be cool to see your use of green also maybe the chapter of the son's of medusa

[@mrpizzacat8273]

I wasn’t digging the shaved helmet but making it a literal chrome dome really tide it together and now I love it.

[@_malprivate2543]

Having just coming back to Warhammer 40K and starting an Iron Hands successor army, I really love this. I'd prefer the black armour to be more black and not so purple but it's still cool and and he chrome dome helmet is spot on. B)

[@Why_does_this_exist_YouTube]

I think you should make a raven guard beakie marine next. The concept of a massive power armored marine being stealthy and hidden

[@stephenwitham]

Paint up a Carcharodon. Lots of great freehanding and conversion work.

[@computersocsci]

Awesome work! Iron hands seem like a cool chapter, but they always seemed super boring to paint until now!

[@marshall104]

Since you are so experienced with black armor and your sculpting skills have been improving too, you should do a Jump Pack Intercessor from the Black Dragons chapter. You could have a lot of fun with those Adamantine coated bone spurs.

[@venerablebrothergoriate5844]

I hope Gorgon Terminators get a 10th edition makeover. Like, keep the overall structure of the armor the same, but just bulk it up a little bit. I don’t even play tabletop, I’m in it for the lore, books, videogames and art. I like to draw space marines a lot, too. Mainly Iron Hands, and mainly Terminators at that. But Gorgon Terminators, just by their lore descriptions, are some of the most terrifying shock-troops you could face on any Warhammer 40K battlefield. They’re basically the predecessors to the modern Indomitus pattern suits you see in the modern imperium, albeit heavily up-armored, and with one unique enhancement. Where Cataphractii Terminator suits utilized miniature Ion Shielding, with the generators housed in the pauldrons, the Gorgon suit uses a Conversion Field generator, that turns incoming enemy fire, kinetic or energy, into flashes of blinding light with every hit. That’s right. Disco Death Mode. Shooting a Gorgon Terminator is basically like trying to shave your eyebrows with a live flashbang grenade. The drawback is that this device embedded within the armor produces a lot of toxic chemical runoff and radiation, which requires the battle-brother to basically be entombed within the armor permanently in the form of intense cybernetic alteration and a very, VERY painful bonding procedure. But for the Iron Hands, this is an immense honor only one step below becoming a full on dreadnought, so they’re all for it. And with the Iron Hands being the hardasses they are, you know damn well that any Gorgon Terminator has to have an INSANELY extensive service record and killcount to be offered the opportunity to become a Gorgon Terminator, so if you see one of them sumbitches on the battlefield, not only can you bet your ass he’s seen and successfully replied to just about anything the galaxy can throw at him, he’s also very likely not alone, as they deploy in squads of 5 at the minimum. They also don’t use powerfists, with their melee weapons being either power axes or thunder hammers. And one member of the squad can carry either a graviton gun or, my beloved, my favorite heavy weapon, the Reaper Pattern, twin barreled, over-under, alternating autocannon. (While the Reaper autocannon has such a childishly grim name, it’s a fucking double barreled autocannon, and it needs to make a comeback for the loyalists, because chaos marines get enough cool shit with all the chainaxes and badass daemon engines they use)
