He did the meme at the start

[@DismemberTheAlamo]

Dont have the model, have no intent of buying model But damned if that didnt make me watch it all the way thru

[@JoelCoffeeholic]

There were more memes and star wars references during the video. Ionce wanted to buy the game to but at the moment im am overhelmed and frustrated with my backlog.

[@marcoscastellanos4114]

Only imperial storm troopers are so precise...

[@complex9k]

Can anyone list them???

[@JoelCoffeeholic]

@@complex9k In the commentsection was a list of memes 2 days ago. i asume its stil there

[@lepszykomentator]

"better pallet for more civilised age" "Only stormtroopers would be so precise" "...even if the tile is so uncivilised" "Zandri Dust is too much on the Dark Side" "don't paint from the low" "just finish it of" "good idea to use just brush like this" "when you look at the miniature from a certain point of view" "This has been the video you are looking for" "Move along. Move along." aaaaah he did it again ❤️

[@fergusconnor7476]

You missed hello there

[@mouseketeery]

He also used "the force" of the bristles and referred to the lightsaber as being looked at "from a certain point of view"!

And the day the video was posted on.

[@lordvermintide4441]

It is only after breaking his ancient blood covenant with the Citadel overlords that Saint Duncan could share the arcane knowledge of the wet palette with mere mortals. "Never! You shall damn us all! You have no idea what you have dooone!" they shreiked. But Duncan was unafraid, undeterred, for his coats were thin. Some even said that this cataclysmic shift of power would be enough to force the malevolent Citadel barons to begin producing dropper bottles- But it was not to be, and the war in the heavens rages on.

The "Hello There" completely slipped past me on first viewing, bravo duncan.

"Two thin coats" meets "Hello there." Unable to contain the combination of two such powerful memes, the internet exploded.

HELLO THERE

[@PhantomJavelin]

*LORD DUNCAN!* *YOU ARE A BOLD ONE.*

[@Chunkyfunk01]

"Zandri dust is a little bit too much on the dark side." You are a bold one. Only just found this channel as a new painter myself, absolutely love your content. Super helpful without going over the top on faff or jokes. Perfect balance.

I like that he doesn’t go over the top with highlighting like a lot of other folks do.

[@keepcalmandre-roll5480]

Loving all those Star Wars quotes Duncan :)

[@srsgoblin]

Great video, Duncan! Appreciated. One minor thing I would like to point out that I feel like you guys could touch on, is when applying a glaze the directionality of your brush affects the paint. Glazes, as thin and watery as they are, deposit the majority of the paint where your brush leaves the model. So, for the white parts, paint it upwards rather than downwards to give the impression of light being brightest at the top. It's a small thing that really helps especially when doing a more pigment rich color like blue or red.

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Hi Casey. That's some really great advice and thanks for sharing with everybody 😊

[@shiggitydiggity4839]

That mini will make a fine addition to your collection.

[@mandalorethemadman2182]

General Kenobi! And May the Fourth be with you all on this project, should you attempt to paint it

[@Zych.Grzegorz]

Amazing as always. Though I can't get over how Obi-Wan is wearing armor that protects everything but his vitals...

[@BeforetheStorm.]

Rule of cool all day every day

[@pitied3744]

In the 2003 Cartoon he wore full clone armor with his cape

[@christopherpeery7436]

14:31 using the force of the bristles? Nice

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Thank you😁

[@lois87]

The sheer amount of puns was incredible!

[@jamesrichards2442]

So many references and the first sight of a wet palette on the channel. He's become an absolute madlad free from the corporate overlords.

[@carbon1255]

"Hello there!" Great first line, it did not go unnoticed xD

[@Luy22]

Your painting is impressive. You must be very proud.

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

Thank you Duncan, I learned how to not only paint but to love table top games as well.

Lovely to see a Star Wars painting tuorial posted on May the 4TH, loved the meme puns and more importantly I'm glad to see that Duncan is well and healthy in this uncertain time! I extend the hope that everyone he knows and cares about is also well. My sympathies to anyone reading this who has suffered or lost a loved one recently.

[@adamjackson260]

Thank you for the entertaining and informative video Duncan and Roger. This brightened up my day.👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Chip_Damage]

It's so nice to see you getting to use the full panoply of available tools (like all of us) when paintings mini's now.

[@vojtasjedyny]

Hey Duncan! Great video. BTW - I'm glad that you started using wet palette in your videos - it's a big help for new painters.

[@itsthequenchiest3270]

Extremely excited to see more SW: Legion paint jobs!!! Amazing work Duncan and crew!!!

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Thank you and thank you for the support :-)

[@adamg157]

Absolutely stunning work. Especially that armour. Loved all the puns/references throughout too. Both the subtle and not so subtle 😂

[@Norseraider84]

Thank you Duncan for the upload ! 🤘🏻 I’ve been following you for the past 6 years and you are the reason I got back into this fantastic hobby again ! Take care and cheers from Denmark 🇩🇰

I’m loving all the Star Wars puns. Also nice to see a wet palette in action.

[@audioweasel6997]

Straight faced Star Wars quotes, top notch. Also very informative about painting technique. All in all, well done

[@Grennak]

its nice to see you finally let loose to make longer in-depth vids, always thought your gw ones were clipped and to short to be fully useful

[@cybergolem7724]

Duncan thanks for all you do - side note my Archaon is painted!!! Thank you for your brilliant painting tips.

[@LordRaif]

As someone who is prepping to paint up a Clone army, this has been exceptionally helpful, especially as it pertains to the armor. I love the technique you used there and it seems simple enough to use on a large army of clone troopers (before adding colored markings, of course).

[@johnkelley9877]

Outstanding work! It looks very realistic. Thanks for sharing this, it was great to watch and learn from.

[@adamsmith6589]

Hello there General duncan. Love the kenobi model and im glad your back painting.

[@FishHookEXE]

I am SO GLAD to see you guys doing stuff from other games, especially Star Wars stuff! Warhammer painting gets a ton of great support on KZbin but a bunch of other also great games don't get anywhere near as much.

[@kortrentuk]

The meme game/reference game is strong with this one.

Wet palette for the win🤏🏻 Love you Duncan!😘

That's a great sculpt on that mini! Lovely painting too, wish I could do faces like this!!

[@GrammerPollice]

Love the model and Legion, hoping to see more Star Wars stuff from you in the future. I'd especially be interested in seeing you tackle Darth Vader. Making black on black stand out would be challenge and I'd love to see how you yet again knock it out of the park.

Hello There!

[@rossvolkmann1161]

Great to see the channel focusing on some more character-quality paintjobs. Not as instantly accessible as some of the rank and file tutorials, but great for those who want something a little more challenging. If anyone hasn't subscribed to Duncan's premium content I'd recommend they give it a shot. It's a lot cheaper than something like Mini Wagaming's vault and he posts several videos there for every one that ends up on youtube. His technique videos on applying transfers and painting late war German tanks has really helped me get my Market Garden Germans rolling again.
