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.)

[@LordBelakor]

not only for Iron Hands, but in general, with so much missing limbs in lore, there needs to be an upgrade sprue for bionic arms, hands and legs

[@Matt-md5yt]

Agreed time for an update

[@jc7997aj]

3d print them. There's already more amazing options than GW will ever be able to produce.

[@cadettrev762]

I know Sternguard have a robotic arm in their sprues

[@LordBelakor]

@@jc7997ajI see that differently. I would if the 3d printing stuff would reach the good quality of GW models. I am not putting some bad item on a otherwise great sculpt. in my opinion +95% of all 3d prints are bad design. Either they are comic dimensions, false dimensions, to less or to much details. Not to mention all the weird choises some 3d designers make. I know alot of people think most of the 3d stuff is amazing, but most people also do not have or have a weird taste.

[@gangreneday]

Emperors children, please

[@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.

Howling griffons! (or charcaradons..) Your model looks real neat too!

[@williaminghamfarrow9371]

Yes to Howling Griffons! A great colour scheme, and ancient chapter (in lore and IRL)

[@The_Iron_Storyteller]

As someone who painted quite a few Iron Hands Blue lenses really make the model pop better

[@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.

[@Kesomazarin]

O no! You made a Silver skull marine. 😊

[@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.

[@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.

[@jamesmacken9501]

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

Raven guard and Iron hands in a forgettable legion competition

[@hamletthecockatiel6423]

Always so good to see new conversion videos!

[@iain.sm.c]

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

[@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.

[@The_WarL0rd_Way]

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

[@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.

[@StagDigital]

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

[@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.

[@AsgeirrSpjuth]

Great job! I'd be curious to see what you would do to an Emperors Children.

[@ekilnotpoven]

Iron hands are underrated, GW Please make more books for them.

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

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

[@Miodoe3]

Howling Griffons would be an interesting one to grimdark

[@Turalyon0001]

Carcharodons next would be pretty cool !

[@vurtne]

such a cool video man, such neat simple conversions! but so effective

[@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.

[@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.

[@Wolfineer_]

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

[@TheJordanMB]

Jay, the cog shoulder pad idea was great - good job

[@Culebrunch]

Man really mad Iron Hands look interesting

[@MrRlsquared]

That shoulder tip, Chef Kiss!

[@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

[@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!

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

[@docsads1]

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

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

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

[@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.

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.

[@kosachilles2504]

I'm enjoying these videos 😁

[@fixit9844]

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

[@musicalDrebin]

i recently started painting Iron hands myself for my MK3 horus heresy battle group. it's been super fun personally i give it a black under coat, then Vallejo black metalic over everything, then Iron hands steel on all the trim. after that and all over shade with agrax earth shade, and a dry brush of Iron breaker to give it the armor the almost metalic grey look of some of the heresy art. then i paint all the pipes and eyes using tallasar blue and paint the bolter white, using thinned down pylar glacer as a shade. they're looking pretty good so far for the little work i've done, but i'm thinking about painting one or both of the shoulder pads black and giving it some kind of gloss to still give it that shiny look, but i'm not too sure. might even give a few of them a bronze face plate just to mix things up a bit

[@corvetteee1]

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

[@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!

[@guillaumeblauwart1238]

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

[@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.

[@jazzrandall]

Would love to see you do a synthwave project. I know it's not your normal thing, but love your videos, and would love to see you try your hand at it.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@lofidante1778]

I would love to see the chaos legions done as well. Either as intercessors or as legionaries
