Hi

[@Rakatan384]

"Their heads pop from a mile away" I mean, that's what happens when you go to war with a bright orange helmet😂

[@ThatguywhoplaysSlaanesh-ih3gm]

Not the most tactical decision they have made.

[@_munkykok_]

@@ThatguywhoplaysSlaanesh-ih3gm I'd say it's *very* tactical. Horrible tactics, though. #SuicideSquad

[@crimsonknight7011]

Just think how dumb it would be for a ninja to wear a bright orange outfit, could never be stealthy

[@TheKsalad]

Every "normal dude" that kills a egyption robot or glowing sword wielding freak is a win.

[@VoskahMarkhov]

That is pretty much the appeal of Imperial Guard. Punching up against the horrors of the 40K setting.

[@chestersleezer8821]

Thing is that Imperial Guardsman might have gotten one Necron down it was the one that got back up that killed them.

Love how the reason he doesn't like guard is the reason I like them. "Just normal fellas" Yeah, normal fellas facing the worst the universe has to offer and holding the line and I think that's pretty neat.

[@teddycush55]

For Ten thousand years they have held that line.

[@shogunender8752]

I really respect that faith and stoic attitude against the horrors of the galaxy. I’m a huge blood angels fan because while they have two gene flaws and really are in a low point after the siege of Baal. They are tragic but still are filled with hope even amongst the horror around them so I can definitely understand the love for guardsmen. The vehicles they use are by far some of the most beautiful and for my guardsmen it’s a lot of cool infantry sure but many many hellhounds, leman Russ punishers, rogal dorm battle tanks, and a stormlord because rule of cool

[@strawberrypuddin8919]

He disrespected all of my imperial guards minis with that one line!

[@brianpower5868]

I actually prefer the "just some fellas" factions in 40k, because they're just some fellas in war with demigods...and they manage to attain some degree of success against all odds and common sense. Just feels like the strength of the human spirit is still present when facing down cosmic horrors, like a good horror story.

[@KamenRiderGreed]

PLEASE do the Thousand Sons Kill Team next!!!

[@PerfectionHunter]

Instead of having to modify and kitbash a normal IG-army, i would pay full price for a GW-made Chaos Renegade Army with tanks, flyers and everything.

[@Aleks0207]

Wargames Atlantic just finished their crowdfunding campaign to essentially release an entire Chaos Renegade army in plastic. The kits should be available in under a year, as they gave May 2024 as their worstcase scenario for a release timeline.

[@peacefulorc4731]

I prefer the chaos renegade militia as they look grim and vile, I wish forgeworld would bring back the conversion kits.

[@marcwittkowski5146]

FW used to make such amazing kits that are now lost to us. It's a shame.

[@loke801]

[@plixplop]

The "Decepticons = Liarcheaters" thing is hilarious

[@sweatilaa5325]

somewhere in Warhammer 40k the IS boats, well in Warhammer 33K to be fair. One of the early War of the Beast books is about a planet with a regular navy fending off Orks. But considering how slow technology evolves, and often evolves backwards in 40k, there should still be a fair few planets with navies.

[@Fisthammet]

There's mention of boats in 40k; Fire Caste and some of the Last Chancers books I'm pretty sure?

[@sweatilaa5325]

@@Fisthammet I'll have to check them out :). I really like it when sci-fi settings like 40k have such normal things as boats, it often makes for engaging stories with normal boats in a crazy sci-fi world.

[@jordanmanley9172]

There were some imperial water-naval forces in Flesh and Iron. I know the book has its tarnished honor, but it does show how the imperium fields boats and nautical ships.

[@ben.harnwell]

Great job Jay. Really like the way you can turn around what might seem a chore into something fun and really good

[@paulreid5746]

Thats amazing timing! I was literally JUST assembling my Blooded Kill Team & priming my blackstone fortress traitor guard as you posted this lol! Excellent stuff, love to see traitor guard shine and become represented!

[@michaelsebi]

Not a fan of Skittles traitor guard, I think these sculpts really benefit from a more sinister and drab scheme

[@willdunn8846]

Nice Video, I painted my guys up just like the GW style and thought you were going to end up making the TG too garish but I was really impressed by your results. I prefer my guys but I like how you mixed it up and changed my expectations.

[@Joseph-no6sn]

I adore your vids of you just painting stuff. Loved how this got straight to the point as well. Keep it up buddy

[@DocHuckleberry09]

Issa vibe! Great paint job Jay, always look forward to your videos 😊

[@IKMojito]

Cool stuff, I've been repainting my Vraks guys and I think this has turned me to a brighter scheme

[@CelticpredGaming]

Glad to see you using more speedpaints! I love them!

[@gtriana04]

I love this painting style.. great job Jay!!!

[@snorka1943]

those orange helmets make them almost look like star wars rebels! great work!

[@riley.mclaughlin]

The armor looks the death guard armor that jay painted when he was drunk

[@Deaths_Disguise]

How this channel doesnt have a bigger sub count I will never know ! every video is a banger

[@eberwald4438]

They fit in really well with your Plague Marines, too!

[@judenewlands6693]

So glad i got to watch this withon 20 minutes of coming out great video

[@guillaumeneve9105]

You did a really good job, these are super nice !

[@JoshMC2000]

"Good bad whos to say" Basically Jay your painting Reneged Guard as apposed to Traitor Guard.

[@DehDrowing]

Evey EOB painting vid "I dont like these minis so imma just start painting" 10 mins later "I love these these minis, i hope they beat shawn" "

[@kristianjensen5877]

The motivation speech at the beginning could probably have been summed up as "What makes me motivated to paint my miniatures is that I can try using them to beat Shawn" 😁

[@Xvampirex2]

HELL YEA! I think I've been asking for this every video since you did the Poll

[@JDSG360]

Shout out to the ikea hand thing flipping up the bird over in the background.

[@marlontruscott]

I feel like they're ripe for some light conversion with more esoteric weaponry and augmentation. It's a cool kit. Thanks for sharing.

[@levvy16]

I'm wrapping up a slapchop style on my blooded and I think it really suits them. my dry brush was a bit chalky and rough but it gives them a cool grim shadowy look which is great for a horde of traitors imo

[@TheMichaellathrop]

When you painted the helmets orange I thought you were going to paint them up as penal legion guard but then with the chaotic additions.

[@bopaintsminis]

So. Cool. You make it look so easy. Kudos.

[@dracorotor]

"Normal dudes" is an interesting take. These were some of my favorite minis from GW since the cursed city box

[@CliveHarvey]

I just painted a group of these guys up! I painted them as a super dirty down group of Blood Pact for a friend of mine. These look beautiful!

[@Chadow-ranger]

How dare you even think chaos is stronger than the imperium of man, the inquisition will hear of this

[@sethmunro6575]

I don't I know if your can or not legally, but your music is just close enough to the OOT soundtrack to make me think it is and then get disappointed that it isn't...

[@drrhino_]

Gorgeous work and Dirty Down is for sure a big win

[@Virakotxa]

Awesome work! This dudes also work great for Blackstone Fortress... If you are into that...

[@chrisjulien7698]

Christ bless you, ngl I have never seen a traitor guard before so thank you

[@fkaroundhandleit]

Perfect video, and on time. I just 3d printed some of these. Lol

[@warmasterkyst199]

Love the pale skin, any tips on the formula used? Noticed that was the one area skipped over in the video.

[@antonjonsson424]

when life is shit I really like watching your videos to feel better

[@IamZeus1100]

“Grab that half of indomitus”… as my mostly unpainted Necrons from that box stare at me opening leviathan…I feel attacked

[@Modge17]

Awesome! Really bad timing though as I’ve just put my Blooded KT up for sale!!

[@daverage4729]

"These are just some fellas...." I believe that's the description printed on the box.😄

[@davidatkins9793]

For my traitor guard army I might just steal this paint job. Maybe change the helmet colour. Any recommendations of paints that work with it?

[@Mech_B0i-MK69]

Mine have red armor black cloth and covered in blood it's on their weapons and a skull trophy on them and bases as well! My ogyrn has been skinned and has a skull face. Playing blooded is super fun you get something whenever they kill or get killed and you can shoot through you're own guy xD

[@laughingman4570]

He said lascannon when it's clearly a lasGUN !! Get him!!!

[@bizarrejoji5209]

Yeah, I get your idea about blooded being just soldiers. I painted my in colors of 512th Cadian, basically light grey armor and dark grey cloth

[@vodoopupped9687]

how do i get those trenches? I want to start a Gaunt Ghost campaign but i am not really getting it how to buy those files!

[@Enzo012]

'Hey sarge do we really have to go into battle with these spiky metals all over us? They chafe and they keep getting stuck into things.' 'Yes the spikes are mandatory for Traitor Guardsmen you must be fully spiked up at all times.' 'But whys that sarge? I don't see any practi... 'BECAUSE WE'RE BLOODY CHAOS THAT'S WHY!!'

Did you let the blue dry before applying the green?

[@cobbnobb]

just a question wondering if anybody could help, what should i use to apply grass tuffs any advice would be appreciated thanks

[@seanp5600y]

if you want a story featuring Imperial Navy navy try the short story Ciaphas Cain: Dead in the Walter, some good use of boats in there with a great Cain story to boot

[@Francesco-gf1sv]

My favorite thing is when artists take warhammer grimdark and make it wholesome with art! I love the original dark evil colors BUT it is a fresh to the eyes seeing different colorful art, a example is nekona.

[@Zacaris09]

If I'm not mistaken the deceptions where named that way because the side that would eventually become the autobots told everyone that Megatron was deceiving them when he spoke about how the transformer working class was pushed under boot. ( well this is one if the origin stories they change it a like marvel but I think this one is consistent)

[@normalguygames]

It's funny, I just finished like 20+ traitor guardsmen from Blackstone Fortress and the Blooded Kill Team this weekend. Start to finish in one day. Quite a feat!

[@arkitektual]

this reminds me of your acid trip death guard

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

They give of "followers of Tzeentch" vibes in that colour scheme.

[@Khirlan]

The music that starts at 2:30 is an absolute banger for the montage!

[@Rodrigo_Vega]

Big fan of "normal dudes". What's the scale of all the epic space supermonsters if there's no normal dudes to crush underfoot? what is it there to compare? Besides, I'm more of a hard sci-fi RPG guy really, so I'm biased towards the kind of minis that could represent my player's PCs or their enemies. So these guys, regular guardsmen, genestealer cults, all look great for human mercenaries, mutant, marines (of the "not 40k" kind) cultists, mutants, etc. Are just great.

[@Capin91]

Next time I’m talking painting to a friend I’ll be sure to refer to it as, ‘some goopies’ 😂

[@Narcomancer1943]

What do I do if all the stuff I’ve not got round to painting is already sat at the primed/basecoated stage 😅

[@boriszhu4346]

Dont worry, u cant paint them either. The traitor guard is a well organized and equiped fighting force not a bunch of street thugs

[@danitron4096]

Quite the contrary, the traitor guard are VERY unorganised, with entire regiments operating independently

[@boriszhu4346]

@@danitron4096 of course, there are such assets like u described, but again, there are many that are an equivalent to the Imperial guard, or even a better fighting force, bc thry are not held down by the warring high ups and have generals who were fed up with the bureaucracy of the imperium, instead they wanted to wage war like it is supposted to

[@boriszhu4346]

Blood pact, ghe cadian renegades, there are many such examples, they form the core of the traitor forces, and the usually fo command mindless hords of mutants and madmen, but tha traitor GUARD is not them

Im actually thinking about getting my hands on them for a necromenda group set

As a traitor guard player, love the scheme man!

[@Sgt-lott10]

I want this because I love normal dudes, but I'm no heretic to I'm gonna kitbash them into veteran guardsmen who have been surviving on a nurgle infested world constantly being hunted by pox walkers Side note, guardsmen can retire as commissar yarrick's uncle was a retired guardsman

[@RichardChildsPhotog]

I so hope they bring out a Chaos Renegade army with all those Forgeworld Ogryn in plastic as you predicted they would

[@DodgethisCZ]

How about Kasrkin remake? Those 3 colors video was interesting but I want see your profi painting on our elite boys :)

[@yagsipcc287]

The helmet colour would look really cool and some necromuda guys body armour

[@luanshala1433]

They look awsome, would make an awsome blood bowl team too.

[@BiomechanicalBrick]

im into the idea of traitor guard because of the game darktide, hopefully we'll see a more grimdark looking traitor guard from EoD in a year or two

[@nexviro8987]

The priming is the biggest painting deterrent for me. I live in Texas so most of the time the weather outside is not great and then I have to buy the rattlecans. I hate it. The painting past the priming is not too bad for me.

[@alessiodecarolis]

As usual, you've transformed "normal" renegades in something very special, lights ' effects on the armours are really great, on the whole they're a really menacing bunch. P.s. WGA just made a new group of Chaos/Post -apocaliptic soldiers, The Damned, you should give them a try.

[@_munkykok_]

They're good dudes.

[@chestersleezer8821]

So they fell to Slaanesh though the slight bluish tinge to them might suggest Tzeentch.
