Painting the greatest Warhammer model EVER with Wētā Workshop

[@Zorpazorp]

Check out the amazing Lieutenant Titus here: www.wetanz.com/brands/warhammer Check me out forging a real sword from LOTR in the Wētā: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4a3pp2oZcypiJI AH MAAAAAAAAAAAAATE I love this video. A huge huge thank you to the entire Wētā Workshop Paint department for letting me come and hang with special shoutouts to Leonard Ellis, Sourisak Chanpaseuth and of course the almighty Jules German!!!

I absolutely agree with you. I don’t get it. Zorpazorp is a true artist.

[@joek600]

The salt masking is a quite old trick of scale modellers reproducing mainly aircraft paint ware. Works best on big flat surfaces like wings

[@Vaderian88]

That is a prize possession, one of a kind and a true relic. Painted well since your not used to painting anything that size.

[@Zorpazorp]

Yeah it was a wild scale change haha, thank you :)

Absolutlrt fantastic stuff. No other 40k/wargaming channel has your level of access, unique content and editing. Brilliant series, cheers mate!

[@Zorpazorp]

Much appreciated buddy! I bust my ass to try and make stuff I'm proud of and there just isn't time to get most videos to the quality I want. The more time invested past a certain point, the less food on the table for the family, but I am just beyond happy with this video, really really proud of it. Nice to be able to publish something I'm proud of for once haha.

[@hunsler1006]

Yes, more awesome weta content, these colabs with them are so cool, and I'm so jealous 😂

[@ChristopherDessens]

This series as well as the other Weta videos have been awesome. Reminds me of some of the Adam Savage Tested prop builds with all the wisdom being imparted

[@bicskeiz]

Its an incredible series! Thanks for the insight, Weta is amazing!

[@lord17c]

Loving this series. The model is out of my price range, but I am really enjoying the "how it's made" of the videos.

[@Zorpazorp]

I'm thrilled buddy!!

[@garnermcculloch2778]

AK Interactive has a metal wax paint line called True Metal. Really interesting stuff that works the way you described. But you definitely have to matt prime it before washes etc, or paint just slides off of it. I use it for D&D metallic dragons so they are a bit bigger.

[@Ennio444]

I've been using the salt trick on terrain for years, with very nice results. But in 40k scale, it does get a bit messy, and some salt grains tend to stick to the surface and never leave.

[@Zorpazorp]

Yeah I'm really keen to experiment with it on some big stuff like death guard tanks or something 😁

[@Trollface667]

Maybe make a feature with Juwels. He seems like a super cool guy and i bet the world would love to see those conversions and mordheim minis

[@Zorpazorp]

He is one of my favourite human beings on the planet, I owe him more than I can really explain.

[@monsvillerailways5736]

Wow. How lucky are you to get to work with the Weta gods??!! Learning from the masters and using their, paints, equipment and workspace must be a fantastic experience. Great work! The rest of us are envious as hell. Happy Modelling Mon

[@Zorpazorp]

Thank you Mon, it was a real pleasure, I learnt so much!

[@CadiasFinest]

I love watching Jules ( I think that's how you spell it) paint, its incredible to watch a master in his craft.

[@heyokawolf13]

Amazing, thanks for sharing. I'd repaint the left knee but only after repairing the printing scar (visible at 24:41). A little putty, prime, paint, and off to purge the heretics!

[@Zorpazorp]

I'm actually going to be doing a full weathering pass and resculpting parts to be blown up and shattered when I turn it into a statue scenery piece so I'll do it then I think :) Glad you enjoyed it mate!

Dude your content rocks! You should have way more views for something like this. I played 40k when I was a kid - disappeared from the hobby for 15 years, and am just getting back into it. I’m more focused on the painting/art part of it. Your work is always so inspiring, thanks for the great content!

[@Zorpazorp]

Ah thank you so much mate :) :) Stoked you're enjoying the crazyness :) :) :)

[@randomusernameCallin]

For fdm 3d prints, I use a brush on vallejo primer. It was made for an air brush and could leave brush marks but that also allow it to smooth the layer of a fmd print most at 0.05mm.

Would it make sense to 3D print paint stencils for those symbols on curved surfaces? Perhaps a low-tack adhesive could be brushed on the mating surface, to lock it in place and form a seal. But then you could get the exact shape and placement very quickly.

[@Zorpazorp]

Thats a super cool idea!!!

Thank you so much Simon, that really means a lot mate :)

[@Zachfive]

Masking on curves can be a pain, but I found in my last job that keeping the positive element of the mask and applying the surrounding resist portion around it will make keeping spacial proportions easier to manage. Then remove the inside before painting. (This is less practical on very small item) Lines like to wander on curves and they need a Commissar to keep them in line...

[@Trisaart]

that abbadon hasnt been revealed yet 😳😳😳

[@rbleisem]

A bit too big in my eyes. Takes up too much room. Still nice to see, though. Have you ever thought about using a Land-Raider as the trailer of a Sicarian Battle Tank? Potentially with a corridor connecting the two and the Land Raider positioned backwards? Could be tank & MPC, could be anti-air with tracking radar & artillery, could be something else, like a recovery tank & a mobile workshop. Even a mobile hospital should be possible, I think, same for a mobile command unit. Why could it not be fusion powered? Find it weird that no ground crawling unit seems to have a fusion engine, you know. And the Baneblade should be the easiest on that front, in terms conversion, since you could simply use the fusion reactor terrain pieces for that. Do check out the terrain artillery pieces, the big one is perfect for a Baneblade chassis, if you mount fake walls to the sides. (a certain imperial army manual book, picture) The small ones are perfect for the Sicarian & Land Radar anti-air with tracking radar & artillery. As for potential game potential, getting in position, defending position & defending the resupply (like you often had in C&C) route, so the resupply convoy could get true. Man, that could mean several boards, that are all connected, including the board that the artillery unit(s) are firing on. Now some fun, Mechanicum units, I can see Fallout Protectrons, Thunderbirds (International Resque) it's mole. I see Iron Man mkI, Starcraft Marines, Fallout Power Armor, when ever I look at Warhammer 40K soldiers. Would that potentially be a fun way to paint those units? By a book about old European soldiers, their uniform colors, one that has it all drawn. Could be a good inspiration for painting some of those armies. Anyway, good going, keep it up.
