This should be your next Golden Daemon dude!! This is one of the best paint jobs I've ever seen!!!

[@andystocking5316]

I heartilly agree, this is 100% worthy of entry into Golden Demon.

[@jakewhite4192]

Bit of a stretch there lol

[@yaywoow]

I think any painting competition that's based of creativity this would excel

[@11AleZZ]

I don't think so, the grey on the cloths looks bad, looks like grey plastic, the rest of the sadly, 10/10

[@vexatha8701]

@@11AleZZ Agreed, the model is so beautiful but is really let down by the grey cloth in my opinion. Really amazing on the wings and armour though.

[@imthelizardking]

I always think it's funny how Jay is just casually one of the best mini painters on the planet. No big fanfare, just all skill.

“I’m worried that this will be hard” *proceeds to paint the sickest primarch I’ve ever seen the full process off*

[@sovviedan6791]

That is seriously one of the best paint jobs I've ever seen on a mortarion. If you take what you have and just polish a few dozen hours, that's golden demon material.

[@Bloodworia]

Holy shit you have outdone yourself. The armour looks amazing

[@jamesowens-darkcurvstudios]

Get yourself someone that looks at you the way Jay looks at Morty....that's love right there :)

[@Mistheart101]

The eyes on the wings are fucking fantastic dude, holy shit

[@jjrneptune]

My absolute favorite part of Jay’s scheme! I just wish they were on the back of the wings too like they would be on other bugs, but hey

[@11AleZZ]

That's a pretty common feature in several Mortarion paint jobs

[@xesca.7999]

this is, genuinely, the best Morty I've ever seen, even beyond Golden Demon worthy imo, amazing.

[@magnusmillerwilson]

Jay has a lot of great lines, but this one might be my new favorite. “He has the face only a mother could love, which is sad because he doesn’t have a mother.”

what started out as a drunk paintjob experiment is now the best deathguard color scheme out here 🤩

[@worthless_punk]

no way that guy is gonna be so happy

[@anthonyconvery6304]

I really wanna see a pic of the whole army together. this looks unreal. Jay legit might be the Deathguard guy now instead of the Black Templar guy.

[@MarcusBriggle-go5be]

Bro did not just casually drop a competition worthy paint job in a 19 minute video. He is THE death guard guy.

[@righter8665]

The Universe according to Jay: Everything is covered in (cork) rocks and everyone must stand on them. Also, Cork is an anagram of Rock. Coincidence? I don't think so...

[@IFunkyCheese]

WEVE DONE IT BOYS HE FINALLY OPENED THE BOX LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THE STENCH RISES

[@SilverOilman]

My favorite part about this paint job is the juxtaposition between all of the colors and the drab cloaks. It’s as though his cloaks aren’t actually there but instead they’re clouds of spores that have surrounded him to form something resembling clothing.

[@Wildonion1]

You could have had Morty two years ago, but he wouldn't be this. Think of all the work you've put in during that time, all the other awesome models you've painted and techniques you've tried. Not a moment of it wasted and now Morty is an incredible milestone on this leg of your hobby journey!

[@JohnJAXJackman-qq9fb]

I can’t wait to wake my daughter up so she can see this! We love how you paint death guard….. now Morty!!!!!!! My family loves this channel!

[@Ryadic]

Video proof that there is no pile of shame. Just pile of opportunity. And sometimes that opportunity takes 2 years to reveal itself. Awesome paint job.

[@donovanledoux4515]

Your paint jobs with this army make me feel a deep NEED and desire to be a bolder painter when it comes to color choices. Simply stunning.

[@MrHiliarous]

That paint job is incredible, but what’s even more impressive is how excited and stoked you are during the whole painting process. I’ve been watching you for a long time and it’s clear to me how much your death guard videos stand out with not only your unique style but absolute excitement painting them. We all appreciate how much energy and excitement you bring to this hobby and to us

[@THE_FOREVER_DM1221]

YEAH! Probably not gonna see this, but that should be your next golden demon entry because that’s one of the best models I’ve ever seen. Praise the plague father!

[@yaroslavk1998]

I really really like when Jay is casually doing his best and doesn't restrict himself with a crazy time frame, and he also seems very happy and excited rather than exhausted!!

[@Stanmanme]

You started painting the eyes and i was like "hmmmm, i dont know" And then you finished and i was like "perfect, i couldnt imagine it without it"

[@hanskneesun123]

The eyes on the wings were beautifully done, I love the color scheme and the finished model looks amazing!

[@ThomasGallinari]

I love colorful Death Guard instead of dull-brownish-green, your Mortarion is probably one of the best I've seen so far !

[@destroyer-dv6jv]

“I don’t want to take a hundred hours” dude what would a hundred hours look like

[@colbybastian17]

Mortarion is, without hyperbole, the single greatest model in all of 40k. Nothing else comes close.

[@terrain4print]

You just HAVE to enter him in a painting competition. Glorious!

[@DJofSparta]

Nurgle: "Morty *burp*, come hang out with your grandpa, Morty!" Morty: "Ahh jeeze"

[@ericcarey1761]

When jay got to the eyes my jaw dropped at just how amazing they look I wish I was half as good as jay my blood angels would be so cool if I was lol

[@faizaldarsandur8291]

TO see you progressing through your Death Guard army, from that one squad to a it's inevitable presence on the tabletop.... it has been an honor

[@notnubilous3804]

It's truly crazy how much Richard Gray's Morty has influenced every single one painted since

[@olliegittins8012]

The wings make him look like a huge moth, love it!

[@user-fh5jk7ke7k]

those eyes look fantastic! well done man!

[@skeeter5076]

Fun fact, his pistol Lantern isn't a plasma pistol, it's a relic from the Age of Strife that the Emperor found in Shenlong during the Unification Wars and later gifted to Morty after he was found and brought back to Terra

[@jeffk3801]

Idk why, but I think Morty's pistol being called "The Lantern" is the coolest fucking thing.

[@Biggles369]

If you had told me what you were planning and the colour scheme then I would never have believed it would work as well as it has. That is the nature of an artist, the vision to see the final product and something I am insanely jealous of! A great model and worthy of accolade

[@Mystrich]

DAMN this guy looks incredible. Definitely your best mini ever - maybe the 2 year wait was worth it.

[@treyturner9707]

one of the best motarions I've ever seen, you need to put this into the next Golden Demon!

[@zeldaholic]

Holy heck - that looks great. The vibrancy of the color scheme really works well at that scale. I'd love to see more primarchs and large model paints.

[@YNGKRTBOY]

Aaaand just when you think you've seen it all, Jay comes round the corner, and freehands some eyes on mortys wings.

[@squirtleninja]

Youve really outdone yourself here. This is a Golden Demon calibur paint job!

[@bearnecessities9568]

Only 8 colours. That's just fantastic. Maybe one day I'll take the plunge and paint the Lion. Only not in green......

[@KerkorDragonblood]

this is, without a doubt, out of the hundreds of Mortarions I've seen, the absolute best! Your whole death guard and especially this Morty are such massive inspirations!

[@ac_clone1300]

Love the paint job Jay but I think you got mortarion’s role messed up. Morty is more of a buffing character for turns 1-2 with his ignore all modifiers rule. Then when turn three hits you bring him out and run him at something you want to die.

[@bigg7379]

He looks amazing, Jay. You’ve made papa nurgle proud!

[@lockjaw36]

Was the biggest model I painted for sure and the longest. I put the body together and painted everything separate after that, because this is Morty and an amazing looking model, I didn't want to mess it up.

[@Akimbo411]

Our stories are near identical. I only painted mine a month ago. Took me a full week from start to finish but I loved every second of it. Even won my first game with him.

[@Ammonitemare1711]

He turned out absolutely insane! You've really caught some lightning in a bottle with these death guard!

[@kadennightwing9563]

So what your telling me is that Mortarion is a scarecrow, that is kind of cool. Fits into the theme that the death guard have and Mortarion looks like a scarecrow too

[@riffhurricane]

If I painted with that colour palette in that style it'd look like a dog threw up its dinner, yet you somehow make it look amazing. Great paint job! 👏

[@skorpekh]

I am genuinely speechless. That is absolutely incredible. It cant be overstated how good he looks.

[@vonstranglegaming3178]

Overall STELLAR paintjob aside, the eyes of nurgle are my favorite free hand addition to a mortarion model ive ever seen

[@bakamaru3867]

Jay, this is one of the most amazing paint jobs I have seen you do. So freaking amazing, that color scheme makes him look so good and the eyes on the wings were an amazing touch.

[@mogwiawolf4354]

100% should do Tyberous of the Space Sharks next

[@travismckee6352]

Think of those 2 years as an investment into your skill and creativity. Absolutely amazing job.

[@theriddler6994]

This might be the best painted model ive ever seen in my life. No joke. Jeezus thats amazing

[@connendarf3857]

You learned a lot in the last 2 years, and it took ya a bit to get your perfect Deathguard painting scheme. I'd argue this was the perfect time to start Morty and get him all dolled up nice, Jay

[@monkeyslovewand]

I know you said, "Make the base your favourite part of the model" But those wings with that freehand... If they aren't your favourite part now, amazing!

[@ElectricTree]

War thunder and Modeling? My 2 favourite things!

[@zer0stream748]

I think the shine in the eyes should’ve been burgled chaos symbol, but other than that amazing paint job I’m blown away at how cool this is

[@7firefly763]

This is THE best Mortarion I’ve ever seen, absolutely fucking phenomenal work dude

[@haaspaas2]

Very cool. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Maybe in 2.5 years I'll be brave enough to start on archaon.

[@RobMitchell53]

Are you trying to have your deathguard and drukari armies done before Scott has just the drukari?

[@titanmatrix]

Those wings are just perfection. I haven't touched my Mortaion battleforce because I fear him. I want to give mine Mothra wings, but I'm so scared to do anything that complicated

[@bananalad2129]

That blue, into teal, into yellow/orange is gorgeous.

[@fybso3057]

Mortarion in 9th truely felt like an untouchable god on the battlefield

[@evanownerofthefriends2495]

As a follower of papa nurgle, this warms my decaying heart

[@samtownley9019]

This was clearly the perfect time for you to paint him because it's flawless!

[@JoeFlamenco]

“Ah Jeez, Dad, can’t I just hang out with Horus?”

[@mpparish67]

Jay, this is phenomenal. I love how the drab, gray cloak contrasts against the brightness of his armor. Absolutely stunning job that I would love to see against me on the tabletop. Good luck with your Death Guard army!

[@woahhbro2906]

YOU'RE MAKING ME CRAVE EGGSALAD SANDWICHES (excellent job on Morty - sorry for yelling)

[@adinfinitum4765]

Those eyes! This has got to be one of the absolute best morty paintjob ive ever seen! This is a masterpiece well done jay

[@jean-nicolasgauthier5484]

Your paint scheme made me remainders mine for my Slaves to Darkness mark by Nurgle. The more metal the have, the more different rust they have. But I refuse desaturated color, so Turquoise is always predominant. Nurgle is a life God! Bring color to your Nurgle armies Boy!

[@AuramiteEX]

Amazing work BTW Jay, in the lore, his alien weapon "Silence" is not corroded at all. Its clean and pristine. The only change is that it's size has grown to match Mortarion's hand.

[@theticksquad8218]

Mortarion is so baller. I remember one time he 1 shot a knight, redemptor, and predator. Predator blew up killing him. What a chad.

[@DigDugDubbs]

Shamefully looks to bookshelf holding same box containing unbuilt Morty. The fear is palpable, but with how good yours turned out I may just venture forth finally.

[@Kavouraki_]

Fantastic job ! Cant wait to see them all painted. Its probably one of my favorite army projects youve done. Who am I kidding, it IS THE BEST army project youve done imo. Love it

[@HitamHitamHitamHitamHitam]

Thank you War Thunder, to sponsor Jay, painted giant bug grim reaper 👍

[@derekhensche6648]

Dripping yellow goop from the eyes…definitely pink eye. That model looks incredible, great job! Super fun to watch the process!

[@Spoonergasm]

I just wanna say that I really appreciate how Jay tends to build and paint a model from start to finish in a single video instead of doing a part 2 a week later. I always get a little burst of excitement when the build part is done and the painting starts and I check the time and we're only half way. A project this big would take most people months to finish so it's just nice to not have to wait lol

[@odharrison23]

Morty is not a squad wiper, he’s a butt wiper!!! Burn!!!! Dang he looks amazing!! Thanks gents!! Fantastic as always!!!

[@laflecack]

this is next level, i love the attitude shift as well like facing the trepidation pushing through and coming out with "the best thing ive ever painted" feels so good so im glad its something we all share as painters and that you shared this process with us

[@callumglover8413]

I know it’s not really your channel, but I’d love to see a battle report between your beautiful death guard and who ever you end up playing!

[@drazenbristow4962]

He has at last painted mah boi Morty. It's like Christmas 🥲

[@S4LtyTrIcKs]

Cool idea for a challenge would be to paint an awesome looking army for the lowest cost, all second hand and eBay miniatures and the fewest paints used

[@acledfloyd]

I’m so happy to see you get Morty done. I’ve been waiting those 2 years

[@CaptainRex105]

Damn dude, this is probably one of the best paintjobs you've done yet. Fucking sick

[@darbydolan4655]

Honestly man you have the coolest death guard on the internet

[@davidmentzer]

This DG army keeps getting more awesome. Been waiting to see you paint Mortarion for a while and it didn’t disappoint!

[@comradeshadles4967]

Speaking of kitbashing a mortarian model I’ve seen someone make a dark Mechanicus daemon prince by replacing the wings with those from a helldrake and what looked like knight abominant lashes as the melee weapon and gave him a tech priest head and did it all in red black and rust It was really cool

[@cakalafatides]

Our prayers have been answered by Papa Nurgle. Jay's painting Morty!

[@S1leNtRIP]

The eyes on the wings made me gasp. You’re painting is so amazing!

[@Sasquatch4811]

One of the best Morty’s I’ve seen for sure. Congrats bro, well done. Lots to be proud of on that model. Those eyes are crazy.
