I HATED These Models Until I Gave It A Second Try!

[@kriss667]

Putting a medium in paint is not faking a blend. It's one of the techniques of blending . There's no cheating in painting in the end, just techniques.

[@The_WarL0rd_Way]

Yes, but you can call it cheating. I know of a certain youtuber that has a segment called "Hobby Cheating" where he demonstrates techniques. If it cuts the time you spend and it still looks awesome, it feels like cheating! 😁

[@seanrydell112]

"There's no cheating in painting" i say, as I dunk a batch of orks into a 5 gallon bucket of green exterior paint

[@gman1515]

I do something similar with my orkz. No medium added to the mix but a rapid fire of thin coats of paint slowly mixing in lighter and lighter colors until I've gone from a dark olive drab in the shadows to a nice bright light green at the highlights. No blending needed just enough thin coats that you can't see the edges from more than 3 inches away. It doesn't take forever either since each coat is dry by the time you are ready with the next one

[@baldeagle13x]

Where does it state in the rules of miniature warfare that painting is even required, let alone ‘cheating.’ Cheating appears to imply that there is a taking part in some form of competition or game, after all.

[@tobycampbell2739]

Took the sentence from between my teeth.

[@ericguzman4043]

After seeing other youtube painters paint with their state of the art equipment and endless amount of high quality paints, it's always good to see Jay paint because Jay is like us merely mortals but way better lol. I actually surprise you don't have a store bought wet palette tho.

[@skazkatzroy3444]

My friend bought Overkill when it came out to start his cult army, I think we went through about half the missions. It felt sort of one sided in the Deathwatch's favor, I ended up trashing him every game

[@mr.miniaturesmodels8465]

I gotta give it to you, watched the video despite not being interested in the genestealer cults. Good production and your passion for the subject models was admittedly contagious.

[@karoliszutautas808]

I must say I'm not really a fan of the brown aberrants. I think the brown makes them look more dirty than fleshy. If the brown was more transparent I think they'd look much better. Overall very cool minis, great job!

[@rootsnootthnute8598]

I think the Genestealer cults should look pretty grungy and gross, they often live and travel in sewers after all.

[@svengro5019]

This Genestealer skin really lookes great. A fantastic overhaul of the original paintjob. The way you do your weapon is very simmilar to how i do my rusted terrain. Its even the first time I saw someone using the pigment powder the same way I do myself and make a isopropanol pigment solution. Flows better than water.

[@bingus5404]

I have a squad of half-finished genestealers, and this is just the motivation I need to put a lovely glaze over their lilac skin. Kudos.

This gives me hope to get back to my GSC army. Shame some were sold for house renovations but still have some Neophytes left

[@EonsOfBattle]

these abberents where not in my pile of shame, they where 100% painted and based, just not well enough for me ;)

[@cody1570]

damn, i want a genestealer cults army now

[@alexwild1435]

Do it! They’re a really fun army to collect and play.

[@lazerhosen]

@Daniel Chang that's why you do cult ambush and other movement shenanigans... sure there are some over-costed units, but in the right player's hands, GSC plays 9th pretty well... since it's more about objectives than shooting people off the board.

[@kzmekos]

The intro sounded like Jay was in Bad Armies Anonymous

[@RichardRae88]

Using medium to create a glaze to make gradients is not cheating, its just a different technique to achieve the same result

[@stephenjdutton]

I have that original genestealer patriarch sat on his throne on my desk right now as part of my Rogue Trader vintage army.

[@EonsOfBattle]

amazing! that is a very cool classic model

[@iansalish8969]

Genestealer cult glow up! They look fantastic! Also really liked the painting setup montage and the equipment/dice scenes.

[@SALBATORE1]

13:31 I saw the 3 alien movies while painting the broodlord haha nice work!

[@baneofbalor5881]

What was your reasoning behind using watered down black as opposed to a black wash such as nuln oil?

[@EonsOfBattle]

the watered-down black paint made everything evenly darker, a black wash would have left the surfaces mostly the same and the recesses dark black.

[@ironofithaka8357]

“Its a good paint style.” Still miles better than mine, lol. I have always been fascinated by the colt.

[@Flamethrower1942]

Ahhh a cultured man,excellent taste sir Black Templars and genestealer cult.

[@EquusMulus]

hm, i've been mulling over my cult for about a year and a half now wondering how I should paint their skin to make it match the colours of my tyranids and this definitely gave me an idea on how i could do it. I think i'm not going to go with such a vibrant pigment underneath maybe already have a mixture of the purple and fleshy tone as a basecoat and then layer just flesh overtop so it transitions better on a small model. But this was a good experement, thanks for the inspiration!

[@petermartin9224]

[@tellable9425]

Interesting topic but a slight correction GSC were NOT bad in 8th at all. They consistently placed at tournies, they were just difficult to play and expensive to collect so not many people found amazing success with them, they straight blow in 9th though

[@EonsOfBattle]

ah I was thinking about 8th edition day 1, the indexes where not kind to the cult, I just shelved them and played space marines for most of that edition.

Cults are just an AESTHETIC

[@youtousim]

Was always complemented for my Warmachine Protectorate of Menoth army. It had a cream + golden style. Not too clean of a paintjob, and i was never too happy with it. But it seemed to be enough to fish for compliments, so I was fine. Until I entered a major tournament that went over several days, including a paining competition. Was really excited to show off my army only to realize i wasn't even close to scoring top 3 in the painting competition. So I made a choice to paint over all the muddy gold trims with high contrast red (With purple shadows and magenta filter, what a revelation!), and the details in Paines Black to give some blue-ish contrast, and now the army is really popping, and actually worth winning some painting prices. Not scoring in the initial tournament was a real bummer. And it made me hate my own army for some time. But also made me step up my game a few notch, and now I'm really happy with it again. Sometimes it just takes a step in the right (or wrong!) direction to realize you're capable of something cool. And the result almost never disappoints. Keep up the good work, EoB!

[@Olingova]

Knowing that you embraced the four armed emperor makes me happy. It's all right to take your time with them, they are used to lurk in the dark for generations before the insurrection hehe

Awesome video. So rare to see an artist go back to an old piece of work, that's something we (at least, I) need to see more often! Hope you continued working on your cult, would be awesome to see the whole army finished!

[@theepicjoey3215]

I started out in the hobby with napoleonics, a lot of models to paint to get started. I made the mistake of batch painting entire 24 man battalions at once, which quickly wore me out on them. Now i don't work on more than 4 models at once, which seems to work well.

Loving the more human skin tones on top, with the more alien color scheme underneath. It really makes it feel like the transformation to aberrants happened from within, their new alien physiology straining and showing through their skin.

[@jeppehansen16]

GSC have some awesome models but as someone who was used to painting tau and tyranids, GSC Neophytes and Acolytes, has so many details. Pistol holsters, grenades, flares, kneepads, cables on their armor. It is too bad abberants are a bit overcosted points wise cuz they are such a cool model.

[@Malygon]

Yeah, way too many details for what is basically chaff units. I wanted to start painting mine back in April but I went way too overboard with the color scheme and while I did end up painting a test model of a Neophyte that came out amazing the amount of work necessary to finish an army would've been simply too much.

[@EonsOfBattle]

I know what you mean I have 30 neophytes and they are so complicated to paint.

maybe you can sneak in some different colors on the different types of tyranids? perhaps if your scheme is mostly red with some yellow, all the hive guard can be mostly yellow with a little red.

[@nexttoradio]
