Wish you would’ve redesigned the Ridgerunner as a car as well. Could’ve taken it in a few fun directions. Why shouldn’t maybe an upper level manager at the local mine drive to work in his Imperial Sedan??? Id just be afraid of people saying I’m misleading them because we already have a unit in our index called “Truck” haha

[@Neolazaro91]

"Genestealer cults are just normal dudes". Jay, my friend, my dude, my buddy, I have to ask, how many arms do you think the Emperor has?

[@Wingsoficarus9868]

4

[@Joseph_Neuys]

@@Wingsoficarus9868 Yes Inquisitor, this answer right here.

[@michaeljdauben]

😂

[@AzertyOnFire]

Oh... you think thoses are "arms" ? I mean... yes arms, totally that.

[@TheLongVigil]

@@Wingsoficarus9868 The Deathwatch would like to know your location.

[@exoticxlj8815]

More people need to appreciate that he probably put 100 hours into this project not to mention designing all of the new terrain and 3-D, printed parts from his team, and squished it all into a 17 minute video that had me hooked from beginning to end. Great work EOB team!!!!

[@MrBiggybit]

I think you nailed it there “looks like two armies proxies together” Make every unit completely different looking, like a random city all waking up at once

[@03dashk64]

Exactly! It’s a feature! Lean into it

[@Harry-cj3yu]

Exactly this. I kitbash a bunch of necromunda models in and the only consist detail I have between units is that they have the same white Armour recipe as their base colour. Skin tone, cloth colour, and sculpts are all mixed as much into a hodge podge as possible

[@MoxAmber26]

I really feel the struggle you've had with gsc, so many times half the struggle is figuring out how to move forward and fix mistakes but that gets harder and harder as you keep committing to it

[@mark7993]

Those crates are just a grain shipment from Andorhal, there's no need to worry, milord

[@andresquezada5531]

I laughed way too hard 😂

[@Klopsfett]

Ah yes, the yearly event of Jay getting out his GSC collection. Can't wait to see what he will do this time. And what he will do to them next year.

[@mochatoast887]

It keeps the content rolling, whether people like it or not lol

[@johnlowkey359]

Protip for your cultists: save all you bits and especially your heads, and buy necromunda sets to put them on. That way it feels like your cultists are emerging from more than just the mines but all parts of the underhive,

[@MeatbagKillaXD]

I did that and bought a bunch of different bodies from Anvil Industries! Lots of unique Neophytes and Acolytes!

[@_p3n9u_23]

Literally building my first Genestealer Cult combat patrol right now and I'm so happy you got around to revisiting these guys!! Absolutely love how they turned out!!

[@EldemRehber]

I think this video needs a part 2 %100. You did the minis very well but one of the main challenges is to integrate soldiers into a miner society. Now that’s a real color scheme challenge. Cant wait for you to come up with other genestealer units to show the whole picture. Great job Jay!

[@SnyperMac1]

The drill vehicle is awesome, but i can tell you one thing about heavy equipment the yellow paint doesn’t wear off it comes off in chunks. So sponging on bright bits of paint would still look accurate for the type of vehicle

[@sliderkyon2145]

I can't help but feel like the videos about GSC and deathguard are just procrastinating from finishing the dark eldar. And this is something I vibe with

[@TapioSalminen74]

KZbin's automatic subtitles (which I had on by accident) decided that this army is now called Jean Stealer Cult. So that's going to be canon for me going forward. 😁

[@skeeter5076]

another reason the hairdryer didnt work on the green stuff: the putty cures by the two surfaces touching, heat does nothing. theres really no way to speed it up as far as i know, but on the bright side you can paint over uncured green stuff with no repercussions

[@ryeloafbreadmen1080]

Just recently got the combat patrol, and this is some great inspiration. Been really struggling to figure out how I wanna paint them, but now I think I've got a better idea. It's shocking how little GSC content there is on KZbin

[@harleyjay338]

dude, you are such an amazing painter and don't give yourself enough credit, you really inspire me to try new things whether its converting or painting, you always help, much love from Australia my friend

[@literalgarbage2027]

As a Genestealer Cult player, it took me three attempts before I settled on a scheme I liked. Glad to see you found how you show your devotion to the four armed emperor!

[@Karmeeni]

I love the colorscheme and it's amazing how quick you can paint an army looking this good. But I do think you rushed a bit too hard, with not painting the nosetubes or the cultsymbols on their belts. But it probably catches my eye because you show them close to the camera. On the tabletop, I don't think many people would notice.

[@03dashk64]

I am the opposite. I think the new scheme is way too…simple? I don’t say this to be offensive, but it absolutely looks like he zenithal primed the models and then messily hit them with two contrast paints. It’s extremely amateurish. Like “I just want to play in tournaments and need 3 colors and don’t care how the models actually look”

[@robertchmielecki2580]

@@03dashk64Well, that's what you do when you want a horde army ready in a couple of weeks and not in a year or two. Different approaches for different ends.

[@Karmeeni]

Yea, I think they are good for tabletop, but with a little more time, I think they would look alot better. But you have to weigh that time against how many units you have to paint for a horde army and what you want out of it. It mostly cahtes my eye in the close ups of single models, with the entire army on the field, it looks cool.

[@Adrien323]

6:05 the secret to the Achilles Ridge Runner is to make it into a regular guardsman vehicle. Brown or tan paint job, the missile launcher weapon option, and a few decals makes for a neat little Imperial scout.

[@Wildfox1177]

Yay, new Video! The guy at 4:45 reminds me of a Fremen from Dune with the black armour and tube in his nose.

[@theinternetofrandomthings7796]

Can't believe this Ridgerunner slander! One of the best vehicle kits made by GW.

[@darthkek1953]

It's a great start for an Ork buggy.

[@tifffelske]

“But I came prepared” 😂 I laughed at that casual camera look full of PPE

[@iamaraindog385]

That Siraya Tech resin is fantastic... pricier than some of the other ones I've used, but I've had fewer failures with it and my minis are quite resilient.

[@katieblackmore2004]

I had such a good time painting Genestealers like the Xenomorphs. Black undercoat, then two thin washes of silver. Once dried a wash of green and black over the entire model. You get that black finish, with that shimmer/shine Xenomorphs have. Then use PVV glue mixed with some UHU glue, and almost glaze it over the teeth, mouth, tongue and joints. After 3 or 4 passes, it builds that ozzing, goo that the Xenomorphs have and drool. Once you've done that, it's ALL about the detailing and highlighting.... If you are good at detailing and highlighting, these final touches make an absolutely evil looking army of Genestealer Xenos.

[@ybolskie]

I got my first set a week ago and haven't stopped watching your videos, I NEED MORE ARMIES is what I've taken from them haha your paint work is awesome I hope mine look as good as yours do someday

[@TabletopTime]

The new scheme is great and the sortof... Human but not human flesh tones are eerie and work fantastically

[@evileyeball]

I always find the D-Cal vs Deck-al thing funny when comparing someone like you to someone like me from north of the 49th.

[@veryblocky]

We say deck-al in the UK too, although I’ve heard the Americanism so much now that it doesn’t really bother me anymore

[@acedraco7658]

Tbh the only thing I would change is that you gotta paint the tnt red on the left guy 16:31

[@Ennio444]

I absolutely love the approach you have in this one. Spend quality time paiting the parts you love to paint and find a way to paint the parts you don't love in ways that aren't tiresome. Applause! I'd like to ask if you do tests for color schemes. I always feel like picking color schemes is the hardest part for me, it makes me very indecisive and I get sometimes blocked. Tanks, for instance, get me stomped.

[@lain4231]

I love your videos. This is some of my favorite content online. Thanks again.

[@shadstout6387]

I recently found and subbed to your channel. I don't know anything about warhammer. I have never bought a miniature, I do not know the first thing about actually playing the game, and I honestly don't have much interest in craft and art stuff like this. That being said your energy and positivity and excitement about this Hobby and passion that you obviously care so much about is so entertaining to watch and I have really enjoyed watching your challenges and projects over the last couple days since I found you. Thank you for putting out such great content!

[@emilsundstrom2722]

All of those armys up to 00:20 were insane, that ghazkull model was insane, that deathguard marine was awesome WOW! I would have loved for u to paint a tau or necron army for me bro ahahhah

[@tony_ellis]

Another excellent video Jay - I just love how you do an absolute ton of work, but there is rarely any complaining or negativity about it. Love your style, happy personality and hard work ethic... Keep it up mate, we appreciate you .

[@LylaMev]

I love how excited you are about these models.

[@outbreakgaming1213]

Calling his former ones “not so well painted” accidentally roasted everything I’ve ever painted lmao

[@joshy7759]

10:14 BET! It's my favorite Astra model and I have two!!

[@intzbk1]

@4:19, Greedo: Solo!!! Excellent work Jay! They look great with minimal effort! Years ago, I found a 3d printed sci-fi limousine on Etsy I think, perfect for the Magus to ride around in style. While I do love the current GSC vehicle line, I think GSCs need some normal looking scratch-built / 3D printed vehicles that aren't all mining. I like the idea that GSC are everywhere within the community, gas stations, hospitals, daycares, etc. I only have the SC done up so far so it would be fun to find some minis and put GSC heads and arms on "normal" everyday folk. I really need to check out Ash Wastes now that you can create rules for your own vehicles, sounds awesome and reminds me of Gorkamorka kinda.

[@TheRealLachlan]

Brooo I'm doing the exact same thing. I got inspired from that 1 incredible piece on the codex cover that and am going for a hellraiser vibe. It's mostly black and white but the vibe shift has been great for motivation to finish it. Dude crazy. I had the truck yellow but it looked like a toy. I painted over with a dark grey and left some of the yellow showing. The story being they stole it from work and quickly painted over it

[@tobycampbell2739]

Excellent! Videography++ well done!

[@PearlJam2k6]

The sentinels could work really well as mining units as well, just needs to replace the old school catachan chainsword with drills (or those FW loader claws, god those were awesome parts) and "mining" lasers and you're all set, plus they would be real fun to paint. The "not Hot Wheels racer" truck feels like it needs a bit more love though, mostly in hazard striping to really flair-up that "industrial" vibe to it. My chaos guard was also based on a rebelling mining colony and a big part of it was played by repurposed mining gear thx to the Siege of Vraks resins, especially the Ogryns with their pickaxes and rock drills.

[@ericstokes2853]

Happy to see this renewed love for the cult! I have ALOT of cult models and I’ve been in a slow grow, working on my 1500pt list now

[@arkslippyjunior7773]

GSC is really hard to paint don't worry man I've had mine for about 4 months and I can't find the inspiration to paint em. So i just kinda put em away for awhile but I'm getting there now I got em painted in a bright yellow and blue jeans

[@MoMagnets]

What a wild ride. Great paintjob and awesome MINE!!!

Best vid you’ve done in my opinion! Love all the of it

[@abcdefghijkl123454]

i read the thumbnail text as "fixing my arm", saw you with the saw in hand and was really concerned

[@nugnax1357]

From the moment i understood the weakness of my flesh it disgusted me

[@bretticus6722]

I ❤ the ridge runner but i think it should have been a Imperial Guard fast attack unit that you could also use for the Genestealer Cult

[@wulf2757]

the more fleshy tone works so much better for GSC, looks great.

[@computersocsci]

Great video, thanks! I'd love to see you update your Sentinels too :)

[@Mosaic117]

Jay for the love of god those models all looked absolutely amazing. You really need to give college you some more credit 😭😭😭

[@TapCat]

That's what I thought, his old version looked pretty darned good to me!

[@markus1351]

I am currently working on a similar project, but I took a bit more drastic measures.. reworking my grey knights and the most annoying part for me,... their size and pose so I started kitbashing every single infantry model after I sold the old army for quite a good price the leviathan terminators and assault intercessory are amazing bases, but require a lot of work and quite a lot of plastic putty so far I finished: - Draigo - 5 purifiers - 10 terminators now working on a strike squad

[@Cairanmac1]

This actually really helps me. I'm currently painting my Genestealers for Necromunda, and I am having zero fun but couldn't figure out why. Completely ditching the traditional painting methods and just embracing contrast and shades. Also going to have to subscribe to the Patreon just for the STLs. Need stuff to flesh out my Zone Mortalis

[@NotJarred114]

love the flesh color you chose! might try something similar for my cultists!

[@rothelsan1176]

They look amazing! I think i need to re paint my tau, votan, starstriders and galarpox kill teams now...THX 😅

[@thetoxictoaster7062]

I feel the same way about necrons, I love the models but lost the passion and enjoyment of painting them, was thinking about eBay, but this just gave me an idea. I’m wanting to start a death guard army and I have some, maybe a nurgle necron might be in my future

[@bhubbard491]

Jay, you've clearly demonstrated that the key to happiness is not having what you want as much as wanting what you have. Very fun video!

[@Razalonjrt1]

LOL basic a Space Technical A great idea for a multi purpose vehicle. Glad you made your own colours and fell in love with that army again.

[@beerhammer40k23]

The new scheme looks mint 👍 it would be nice to see a show case video on your orks

[@n1ll3r]

Really needed this for my own cult. Thanks, Jay!

[@Archon762]

I had the idea of going greyscale with mine, silver weapons, then pick out a specific piece on each guy and make it red. Never got to it because even with playing them right my dice absolutely abhorred giving me even minimum successes even on 2+s. I had several points where Kelermorph was hitting and wounding on 2s, only got 3 hits after all shots made, then 3 1s to wound.

[@liamdrury229]

Yep just joining in the love for Onitama! Would only recommend the sensei expansion but such a great game in a stand out box 😊

[@saberxsamusyangbang5661]

jeez your painting style is top notch ,really need to start collecting more ,need a combat patrol of black templars asap

[@reavern]

I also have a GSC army that I haven’t played in a while. I don’t hate the paint job I did; I think it’s pretty good considering how difficult GSC’s paint scheme is… but it could be better. I think I will paint strip 10 Hybrids and try again, and see how they turn out. I really liked that Drill Rig model and making those special blips. I’m going to buy more crater terrain and use those as blips, and sacrifice some of my old Purestrain Genestealers models to make my own blips. The only problem is that blips are relatively small in diameter and even the smallest crater terrain might be too wide. But that’s an issue for competitive play and I’ll just play my GSC army casually against my friends.

[@kris1d20]

"Patience is required for greenstuff and I have none." Jay for President lol...🤣🤣🤣

[@soyjoony]

Love how simple but cool they look

[@evileyeball]

I've got a Wyrmblade team here awating some paint so this video is quite well timed. hahaha

[@carlsoll]

Wow 😯 What a settt! Wet stickers look *Awesome* on your machinery 🤘

[@screaming_cat2007]

I know my tau army will need a repaint once I’m better at painting so this is good for me in the future.

[@Arukandi]

I actually love that the two armies are connected and i don't see it as a downside. The cult is suppossed to be a revolution, not an fully organized organization like the Guard or Space marines. I also think they should bring back the limousnines.

[@chrislail3824]

I can’t believe you didn’t strip the paint.. I had a lot of them painted, and did in fact strip them. I have a lot built and are waiting to get the new color scheme going. Probably that grey and orange that looks pretty good on them.

[@paulbeattie1182]

They look ace. Love the blips. The stealers have a bit of that freshly made just birthed greasy look. Love em.

[@TeaIngyer]

Making me want to do a GSC prison break. A prison planet infected by Tyranid filth, angry prisoners born into imprisonment for their forefather's mistakes, turning to the four armed god in the depths of the ancient prison.

[@ericsmith9212]

What a resurrection of an army! The vehicles look great as do the blips!

[@teoiny1]

Great results!

[@XSXGhostXSX]

Minute you said "hackin and wackin" Fallout instantly came to mind XD

[@recurvestickerdragon]

My initial thoughts on seeing/hearing blue gsc was "should add pockets, seams, buttons, and patches, turning them into JEANStealers

[@frogjog8822]

this terrain looks like command and conquer buildings!

[@PlasticMenace]

How does thinning the pigment powder work? Is it just water and powder and slapping it on? Or do you need a specific thinner?

[@rotmgpumcake]

Dune brought love back into the gsc, i want to paint them in black/white harkkonen

[@warce82]

Did you strip the paint off first or just reprime them? You’ve motivated me to repaint my death korps killteam.

[@MrHooshay]

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR SOOOO LONG GSC FOREVERRRRRR

[@benjamin2629]

love the paintjobs, nice speedy and grim, the models look somehow heavier. I just dislike hazard stripes. One part of this hobby that can go in the bin IMO.

[@clood0814]

I've tried to like them as well, but I failed. Cool models and everything, but something was just missing. Weird

[@theoddonion2812]

Ive been thinking of starting a genestealer cult for forever... But i always felt like i wasnt good enough cause of the box art. This video inspired me to get some neophytes and start

[@robbiev9296]

I feel like the dark, less colorful, and more serious feeling this army has now really complements your other army's more colorful paint jobs
