I think he nailed it

Nobody cares about squidmar and his list..

[@ArchitectureModels]

We need the white circle tho

[@monkey5266]

@@Capamaru78 its just a friendly joke

[@nacidocoqui]

Not ONLY did he whip up his own tabard from epoxy, and not ONLY did he freehand a half-and-half paint scheme, BUT THEN... the absolute mad lad *FREEHANDS* Dark Angel wings in a half-and-half paint scheme as well?! Trovarion just told me I suck at painting in like 10 different ways! 🤣🤣🤣 Gorgeous work!

[@vanillaicecream5226]

this is probably my favorite miniature ever painted.

[@crips2668]

"I just had to copy it to the other side" ... You damn Poser with your perfect symmetry :P

[@Event_Nihility]

He looks like a freakin' altar that stood up and walked out of the cathedral to purge. I can't express how incredible this is, if all space marines miniatures looked like this I would only paint SM. Also nice thumbnail you sleek borrower!

[@kedbreak136]

Wow this knight is absolutely fantastic. It captures the vibe of the old artwork, this grim bizarre gothic world, over the top and silly at the same time. Like straight from a comic book.

[@stretch3281]

6:00 Terry Prattchet would be pleased with all the dribbly bits round the candles 😊

[@MrSmokincodz]

the wax bases for the candles was seriously creative and awesome. Im 39 and have been into 40k since the early 90s. Its wild to see how far this hobby has come. From just the youtube videos and 3d printing, its just crazy to me. CHeers T

[@alancook1053]

This is possibly the best video and template you have ever produced. The story problem(what happened and why you need to return it to glory)script(how you do that and with what), the production(the selective and abbreviated video pictured content, music and voice over), the call to action for us to attain more knowledge within your Patreon, the gift(discount codes), and the resolution(return to DA Glory) with your finished mini that meets your expectation and ours. I do not have enough words to explain all the effort, thinking , knowledge, and time you put into this! Wow have you grown!! Thank you for allowing me to see a small part of this journey of yours through the key hole of KZbin😃. No matter what the algorithm does this, this has everything to set you apart in content creation in my opinion! Fantastic job! Cheers to you and all the best!!! Oh and I am a big DA fan from the 80'"!so! lol

[@fundude365]

"Brother, that cursed green skin blew out my candles. Would you relight them for me?"

[@koraldragon]

I paint deathwing since the late '90s and this is probably the best take of a deathwing model i have ever seen. Wonderful work!

[@thijshagenbeek8853]

"Dark Angels are the posterboys" *Listens with great satisfaction to the weeping Ultramarine in the corner*

[@Dresden76]

Love this conversion. I normally hate conversion videos but your whole storytelling, fabrication and painting landed it!

[@av4l4nche31]

Absolutely beautiful paint job. My favorite part was your interpretation of the power sword and how you made its complex tones work together. Definitely one of my favorite projects of yours, well done!

[@thomasalbion1834]

Such beautiful paintwork and conversion, absolutely inspirational!

[@419dubbs]

Truly epic. Really makes it feel like a Dark Angel with those candles and skulls. Love that gothic look like you mentioned in the video.

[@mykeh3155]

Damn near perfect timing on this one, yesterday I started printing some GreyTide bits for my Deathwing and Grey Knight terminators, seeing this painted has me even more excited to finish them. This also reminded me that I can sculpt tabards over the pushfit termi chests which I have been stuck on for the past week, plus I love the idea of having over the top candles, might have to stick that on a few of them.

[@kaikropp3254]

Amazing piece! The blade of the sword made me cry a little... beautiful!! 😮

[@kevinspyrle5538]

Great work. Thanks for sharing your techniques. I think those were rhetorical most convincing candles I have seen.

[@kanga4881]

Your Dark Angels videos are the best! The "over the top" gothic aesthetic you're going for is fantastic would love to see more!

[@XPSftw]

This is one of, if not THE, coolest conversion I have ever seen - amaaaazing!!

[@TemplarIRL]

I just found your channel last night, my wife and I were looking for something random to watch while eating dinner. We really enjoyed the "rate-a-commission" video! 😅 I absolutely love the way this turned out, I just got into Warhammer about 6 months ago but have been a long time DnD enthusiast - it was SOMEWHAT mind blowing to learn that you don't just go all out on 1 model, but an entire army - I digress. My very first Warhammer model was a conversion of my own (because I thought I was making my champion, and he always will be...). I feel like it turned out pretty damn close to yours (minus the base dirt, some pro-highlighting, and my candles lack flames), which gives me a big boost of confidence. Thank you for showing your idea of what it should look like! I completely agree that the models tend to not quite match the concept arts. PS - You forgot to add purity seals, I expect a part 2. 😉

[@S-Mags]

Awesome video - One of your best. Wish you had the time to give the paintjob your best but converting, printing, sculpting and painting in one video - What an accomplishment amazing. The underlying theme is 100% on point as well.

[@pascal9055]

lol the candles are TRULY over the top. Amazingly painted.

[@swakage13x]

When you were talking about the power sword I personally do mine in a red ink after going over the blade in shades of black white and gray lines and then I go over it that with a hot pink lightning bolt pattern in certain parts because some lightning is orange and pink and some is red But I absolutely love the helmet on this guy

[@Greyfox94]

Absolutely insane, you absolutely nailed the feel of the art work 100%

[@lain4231]

Such a phenomenally talented artist. This channel is so much fun. Thanks for all the content!

[@baconwhale6414]

Those Helmet STLs are perfect.

[@BrokenProphet84]

That's the most beauiful power sword I've ever seen! Love the mysterious hue

[@jamesmorrall]

So many good tips and ideas here! Lovely work.

[@Felsworn5121]

You really did a great job of showing off what a huge impact a few, well chosen bits can have on a model!

[@graefx]

Always love seeing a notification and you sharing a more advanced painting process in high detail but easy to follow. Its weird. One of the reasons Ive been looking forward to TOW and the return of some classic sculpts is because modern minis seem to have so much fiddly detail that it makes them annoying for me to paint. But at the same time, Ive never really loved Primaris because they look to plain and modern. I want the baroque 40k look i grew up with. Not really sure how to reconcile those.

[@fatmaru]

Such a good model man. The added 'over the top' elements are so badass, and the paint job is veeeeery nice.

[@Kampfgrot]

That blade is the best I've seen in a long while! And I love how it echoes the Dark Angels lore.

[@arved.jeltsch]

That conversion looks absolutely incredible! 😯🤩

[@ladouceurmatt]

This is why I like my 3d printer for my DA army. So many great files out there.

[@cinderheat]

Just amazing - I'd love to be able to see colours the way you do. That sword is epic.

[@bestestmichael]

Well, I was going to pick up some grey tide studios bits for some time now, but now having the ability to support you as well, it's a no brainer!

[@Mystery_Meat]

Man that looks so good! Such a cool composition!

[@TexMechsRobot]

This is just gorgeous. Thanks for sharing!

I love the creativity of the conversions. John Blanche would be proud to display this in his living room. Thank you for another great video.

[@TorSkywalker]

Wow, that miniature looks incredible. Great work!

[@cloudboar6141]

This video came out at just the right time. Doing some candles on a 'Moonstone' model and you've come up trumps with the sheer quantity (not excessive in any way at all😂) beautifully painted. My thanks.

[@bldos5362]

Amazing and beautiful. You are one the masters of the craft. Loved the video. Thanks

[@jeffhreid]

Came out great. I especially enjoyed how the light was handled

[@MentoliptusBanko]

[@billyclement5141]

🤩Awesome! That's just stunning! 11/10 for concept and execution.

[@steffniko4055]

I love the modeling of the candles' wax base. Amazing 💚

[@Omegaterrain]

The sword is my favorite element you painted on this. Love the color palette you chose and really want to try it for myself.

[@Wijkert]

Great result! I especially like how the sword turned out. Only thing that I think clashes a little is the fluor green of the eye's.

[@isisnmagic1812]

Great video i can only dream of getting anywhere close to your nmm skill , awesome build thanks for sharing .

[@steverobinson243]

Loved this video bro amazing work as always👍

[@djsuter4410]

That is a phenomenal Dark Angel. This mini really captures that over-the-top gothic look. Masterpiece!

[@TricksyTricksyBovises]

Niiice Trovarion :D I was thinking about a twist on this: "DOING everything wrong to a Black Templar" and you turn a black templar into a full blown librarian or wizard or something. (I saw that steve from vanguard tactics was running a librarian in his black templar list that ran around smiting people, they refer to him in terms like "the.. guy who likes to read" to avoid acknowledging the heresy), I'm sure you could come up with a better idea but just thought I would mention. Always happy to see your videos!

[@trovarion]

Haha...That's funny

[@jeffhreid]

Cool! Gonna check this out! Working on a similar project for a diy space hulk project

[@simona3216]

That sword looks out of this world! Great job!

[@gilbertzzz7110]

Awesome work. This is the kind of aesthetic/detail that i consider 40k to truly be.

[@n6356583]

I would watch a 20 minute video just documenting the process of that relic weapon in detail. Beautiful.

[@derisgaming9773]

As a Dark Angel enthusiast for 20years, I read this Title and got my Pitchfork ready.

[@ondrejhanak6523]

I think what you did better compared to your other videos is that you didn't show the mini at the start - this keeps us, the audience, excitedly waiting, improving our experience as well as the watchtime.

[@rowanirish]

That relic blade looks awesome. Great job.

[@Ketothev]

Such a nice take on the dark angels death wing color scheme once again. I still have mine to paint and to be honest the traditional colors are not that appealing to me but you show here how much more interesting it can be! Thank you for taking the time to create and share your top quality work!

[@TheTygre]

Like everyone else, I am absolutely AMAZED at the freehand skills on display here.

[@sintramdragonis4794]

Yes, yes, yes, finally a Dark Angel model that fits the lore. Thats why Trovarion is the GOAT in my book. And yes please more. Pretty please a cataphracii deathwing terminator. Because lore wise the Dark Angel have the most cataphracii power armor of all chapters still in service. And I haven't seen one before. Love your work

[@jahvyn]

Astonishing, you smashed it!

[@DylanKingAuthor]

Possibly the most brilliantly unhinged paintjob I've ever seen on yt. Outstanding.

[@ydin9]

Not a fan of non being a walking candle table, nor protecting your shield with a book but that's some damn impressive painting. The conversion parts otherwise are a brilliant.

[@DmanDrums]

Wow, if only all armies were painted and converted to this standard. Amazing.

[@dwwolf4636]

Personally I'd try to invoke medieval knight heraldry. Inspiration source: Imperial Knights and Bretonnians. For normal squaddies a fairly simple shoulder pad with Heraldry quartered with the DA symbol. Or those small jousting shields on a pauldron. Or perhaps a leg part etc etc. Make the heraldry more involved for Sgt's. For officers start to add more area and start to add heraldry indicating special knowledge, judgement etc. Grails, candles, books, scales etc etc.

[@mastersplinter5600]

Stunning paintjob

[@notnubilous3804]

Great work as always. Sort of an odd question though, what magnification glasses do you use?

[@trovarion]
