Painting the High Elves RAREST mini

[@zac8603]

That freehand is insane. If I hadn’t seen you do it, I wouldn’t think it was a freehand at all.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate!

[@tonypridham1253]

Magic happens when you combine a classic mini, some paint and a brush. Top stuff mate, fantastic.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks so much mate! I appreciate it!

[@nolancarey6244]

That shield freehand looks amazing! Excellent work. With how he sits on the Pegasus though it makes you wonder how he stays no. "Look mom, no hands"

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate! 🍻

[@adamherring9803]

"The most High Elf looking High Elf of all the High Elves!" - he sure is that. Riding a great big horse with the horse helmet and double horse on the back of his chair thingy - what a guy! Love what you've done here, really interesting on the white. I was really happy with my own dry-brushed wings on Magnus but this is next level. Sometimes it's the right technique for the job!

[@marklindsey4112]

Oh dayum! That white recipe is a winner, looks so great on that flappy horsey. Seriously great work this time Deetz (is that the right spelling? I ne'er know) and that freehand shield deserves a stan'ing ovation. Your army of Helves is getting more and more beautiful every model. Bravo good sir.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate! I appreciate it. I’m glad you like how it turned out! Deetz or Deets, I’ll leave it up to you 😎🤝

[@nickyforsythe]

Superglue activator spray changed my hobby life. Instant set on any join and fills most gaps too!

[@davidpaterson2979]

You might say that you struggle with painting High Elves, but dude that model is glorious, you've totally captured the essence of the time with a modern rendition ❤

[@Bazscoobz]

The freehand turned out great Deetz. Outstanding again. Cant get enough seeing these old minis ❤

[@thecrownofcommand5830]

My favorite High Elf mounted beast ever made❤ awesome paint job Deets!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

You have great taste 😎🙌 thanks mate!

[@mcyolicjones9081]

Wow! This is the sort of stuff that got me into Warhammer to begin with.

[@Zogrut]

Nice work deets! Another banger and I have to say your skills are becoming next level my guy! Shout outs to Benny also, I’m gonna give that white recipe a crack 🍻

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks so much man! Good luck with the white 👊🤝😎🍻

[@corbiG]

Wow amazing can't stop locking at this fella

[@maxbrandt6]

Beautiful work on a very rare Warhammer model, it was hard to find back in the day, next to impossible these days so you're quite fortunate!

[@dominikk866]

I love watching those videos, taking me back to early 90

[@SlabBulkhead]

That white is just killer. I love it.

[@nyuzotturunk]

Fantastic work, as always. The 4-5. edition high elves' style is so memorable, even after 25 years it's still the definit colorscheme for any kind of good elves in my head. :) Also, I know it's really not the point... but I literally loved these Warhammer boxes with the polystyrene inside at 1:24... :D

[@Breland1976]

OMG! Freehand is sick looking! Awesome job.

[@rupertjones5197]

Dude you’re insanity talented, great video and keep up the fantasy content

[@TA-yw7ce]

Would love for you to do an overview of your whole painted oldhammer collection some time !

[@narwhalcheese]

For awkward multipart creatures I'd do a part assembly and paint the wings separately. You should try a great spined dragon - you'll have fun with those wings!

[@ellesse3862]

That is the best I've seen this miniature painted outside of 'Eavy Metal, beautiful work and one fantastic sculpt that will look great with Eltharion and Stormwing, framing you army.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thank you so much! I appreciate it!

[@NordicDragon89]

Your channel is my favourite oldhammer channel. the result is amazing!

[@stevencatt4026]

That is beyond ridiculous.... I'm in awe

[@JBenderP]

Beautiful work! I used to have that model...sold it, and the rest of my High Elf army for a pittance years ago...sigh. The follies of youth!

[@tribalice]

Deets, it’s so awesome!!! I love the pegasus’ colour!

[@bobdolla9356]

Very impressive, what a painter, what a model. Great stuff

[@taylorphresh819]

genuinely insane how amazing your miniatures come out at the end, aspiring to reach the level you have someday o7

[@ronitabick961]

This is incredible work! I think I have one of these minis in the basement with a paint job that my 12 year old self was very proud of. Wonder if I should give it a dip in paint stripper and have another go... Can't wait to see more classic minis!

[@0shlem0]

Fantastic work. That freehand blew me away.

[@eriksolie511]

Awesome work, as always! Great to see that old buck-toothed Pegasus get some love ❤❤❤

[@Filippo5]

Surely one of the best one so far ❤

[@canuckchuck8836]

WOW!!! ...just wow! I love how the Pegasus looks like it is glazed porcelain.

[@rayshouse4933]

That freehand is epic man, you killed it, great work!

[@Sandrip3926]

Really nice result! You did the mini real justice

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thank you!

[@BigGrim78]

Super jealous you managed to get this guy! I'm also on the look out for him. That paint job is bloody glorious and super, super smooth. Congratulations!

[@thunderccr5056]

Absolutely stunning mini! Great effort!

[@petsdinner]

Awesome paintjob on an awesome mini! Amazing work Deets!

[@drakeushellblade1786]

hopefully they add these when High Elves get their arcane journal

[@hadrienvesseron5321]

Very well done ! You really did it justice !

[@BrushQuill]

This is looking amazing. Always a lovely feeling when you get the model you've wanted for ages

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate! I couldn’t agree more, very happy to finally get my hands on it.

[@hogs0war]

Thanks for the detailed instructions on the wings, I've never painted them and I have several Pegasus knights to do. I feel your pain on the metal mini's as I've just had to pin, glue, and prime several metal horses from Sally 4th mini's. Frustrating but rewarding work.

[@danielkochis5133]

That’s incredible! Thank you.

[@bernardwinetroube9764]

Great job, thanks for sharing your process. I'm always impressed with a washes based style. Super clean work, great job!

[@titogalleguillos4360]

Outstanding, looking great 👌🏻 always good to see your high elves 🤘🏻

[@MrPeterTang]

Damn, you inspire me so much!Thank you for all your hard work and your enjoyable videos.

[@CapturetheAtlas]

I just discovered your channel and it gives me the best vibes I have seen in any Warhammer YT channel. Keep up this amazing work mate! 🫶

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thank you so much! I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos 🙌😊

[@marcelopradodasilva8130]

I feel ya; its incredible how sharing motivates ! Keep up the good work!

[@Albruv]

Fab work on that freehand! Thanks for sharing your journey

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Cheers mate! I appreciate it! 🍻

[@xyonblade]

I always thought that monsters were what made Warhammer cool, unicorns, griffins, giant eagles, Pegasus, dragons, etc. There was a lack of monster options for high elf in 6th and 7th

[@blackdenim23]

Great job again Deetz!

[@swindledoc]

This I by far my favourite model you have painted. I’ve taken so much inspiration from this thank you for another great video

[@skinniestfatman5641]

Great looking model, loving the paint job

[@battspaints]

Ben is a cool dude. He walked me through how to fix my airbrush one time in Infernal Brush's discord. Top bloke

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

He’s an absolute legend!

[@ImaginerImagines]

She's a beaut. Nicely done.

[@Mattw1987]

Looks amazing such a great model and paintjob

[@arepupu]

Incredible work here! Pleasure to watch this process

[@Druid8582]

Ahh, so beautiful! Such a nostalgia trip - well done man!!

[@VikingFireProject]

Congrats on getting this man! Looks great 💪💪💪

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate! 🤝🍻

[@legionnaireminis]

So clean! Great work dude!

[@themainstager]

Beautiful as always!😊

[@ay2deet578]

Looks fantastic

[@thomaswilliams5005]

Amazing, mate, amazing

[@bergeaadland6648]

Beautiful 🎉

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thank you!

[@MrEthicsgradient]

Beautiful work. White is my bugbear as well, I need to see if I can replicate your method! The freehand on the shield is perfect, you clearly have steadier hands than me! I would say that, assembly aside, wings in GW models were generally better in metal. I’ve done the last metal Empire Griffin, and the texture allows for a really convincing look. A lot of the more modern plastics seem to have forgotten that and the feathers seem more like leaves.

[@ryanbombard6607]

Epic job. Thanks for the great video.

[@huwtindall7096]

Awesome Deets! I'm trying to find the Empire Hero on Pegasus. I think it's the same flying horse model. Was getting hot under the collar with the freehand at the end.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks so much mate! Yeah it’s the same Marauder sculpt and I’ve been on the lookout for it as well 👀 it’s a beaut!

[@Marcoyolo571]

I loove this one!! Results are amazing!

[@olpa1193]

Masterpiece! Indeed top stuff!

[@TheEr910]

Looks great

[@grayholiday]

Bro must crack open a new bottle of Contrast Medium for every video.

[@Squonkles]

So good!!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate!

[@kinganzelak]

Disgustingly good.

[@januszskubik5916]

Looks great 😀

[@Lesandira]

Absolutely terrific stuff!

[@cliffjackson61]

Love it!😁

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate! 🙌🍻

[@Eric-jt8yx]

Great video! Thanks ☺️

[@ironbomb6753]

Very awesome! ❤

[@alg3249]

So glad I found this channel!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks for being here! 🙌

[@JMACCSArmiesOfMiddleEarth]

Fking love me some high elves that looks fkin incredible

[@moretar]

Spectacular

[@oktoberbabyfee]

Super cool!!

[@malicant123]

Oldhammer at its best!

[@leonatus221]

Fantastic my boi!❤

[@brenthartman502]

Top job again mate 😀👍 I have one of these that really needs a rework like a lot of the older glorious stuff .. More inspiration. LOL cheers 😄😃

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate!

[@aleksanderandersson]

Perfect!

[@elwin576]

basilicanum grey has a much better effect just a couple of layers of wraithbone and highlight with pure white, verry easy and good effect

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

I’ll have to give it a go! Thanks for the tip 🍻

[@yeahnah3erter]

Tamiya quick type putty is a lifesaver, much easier to use than greenstuff IMO

[@RT-wb4hr]

Nice job

[@torpor8652]

Had this one back in the 90's. That body was impossible to get to look nice back when I had never heard of green stuff or pinning :P Still, was my coolest HE model for sure

[@mikewicked.x]

Have you tried a hardware store epoxy putty? Something like Selleys Kneadit, or Gorilla epoxy putty is a reasonable substitute for green stuff (although more like Milliput). I'd recommend playing with them away from a mini to see if you like them, but I think they work well in a pinch. (They do have a strange smell though - not toxic afaik, but not pleasant.)

[@alexanderalfonsson5874]

Basic Bitch Bird Wings was not a sentence I was prepared for. My sleep deprived ass laughed way too hard. XD

[@ChampionOfSkyrim]

I have not seen a pot of liquid greenstuff that was actually liquid since they released it like 10 years ago. What Aussie magic is this?

[@iand3lond]

Great video. The camera settings are a bit too dark during the painting considering how stunning the model looks during the money shot

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate! Yeah sorry about that. I might have had the iso a little too low for this one.

[@Yakinjacksfishin]

love it mate unreal work! when are we going to see some lizardmen!!

[@willpenn966]

Good lord that white is bright

[@daybertimagni4841]

Wow!

[@Alfindeol]

Oh that's wild. Ben is local to me and I didn't at all expect to see his name appear here randomly 😂

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Haha can you give him a noogy for me?

[@Alfindeol]

@@anvilofdoomminiatures when I see him of course

[@DizzWhazzUp]

Awesome job! Personally I am not a huge fan of the old-school miniatures myself, but I get why a lot of people are drawn to them, especially "older" people who might've had a lot of these minis back when they were younger. And although the old-school style of painting is a lot "simpler" than today's modern style (like the new GW box-art etc) I really think you've come a long way in your painting and it's awesome to see!! Yes, there are more content on tips'n tricks and "how to paint" videos than ever before so it's a lot easier to get into the whole painting part of the hobby than it was back in the day, but even so I really think you have excelled very fast! I'm not sure whether you paint a lot of stuff outside the stuff you paint specifically for the channel, but the way you place the highlights, your understanding of how to layer it is really impressive! And although I'm a person who don't often comment on videos etc I've seen ALL the videos you've released and I'm always eager to see your new releases!! Keep up the great work and well done on your progression so far!! Love from Norway!

[@zachmoss8896]

WOW

[@BurningHope27]

I’d wish they’d allow HEs to ride Pegasi again
