What BIG Models have That Warhammer DOESN'T

[@Ninjon]

Don't forget to check out the Objective Ctrl Kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/objectivectrl/precision-miniature-magnets-thematic-game-aids

[@darkseas3846]

You can see just how much your work has improved over the years and your work was great already

[@ObjectiveCtrl]

Thank you so much Jon! Your work is inspirational and it is an honor to sponsor you. Wonderful video! Large scale models are a real joy to paint!!

[@jayruggiero8955]

You are very friendly and teacher friendly,great job😊

[@doohanmurphy8974]

Dude, that Brom artwork is so emotive, and the sculptor did such a great job capturing it in the model. And then you brought it all together so nicely, great job man

[@Ssking1985]

My parents aren’t mad about my warhammer collection…but my wife is.

[@karlthemadscientist6295]

Your wife is made of Warhammer minis?!

[@andreasn]

​@@karlthemadscientist6295 no you idiot, shes a made woman like in the mafia

[@bodotrenaud7441]

Never told my wife how much money I spend on my hobby. 😊

[@karmaq8462]

Same but she knows I work hard .

[@TwospotzArtAndCraft]

Well, that always makes me puzzled. What is a spouse suppose to do then? Trail 3 feet behind and be a handyperson all the time with no life of their own? Weirdness....

[@jimfarmer2356]

After John's comment about the sad clown, my wife said "But doctor, part of me is Pagliacci!"

[@JCetto.2612]

Sir... You are blessed!

[@benjaminzaugg1127]

the moment you said "sad clown" I couldn't unsee it. amazingly painted sad clown though

[@dragonforgedesign]

I met Brom years ago when I worked for Ral Partha at a Gen Con. Hes a really nice guy. Loved his artwork. Their was a Brom figure kit made a long time ago by Rafam. I think I may still have a copy somewhere. Was metal and very heavy. These look really nice in resin. Funny about Partents and the Hobby, My Mom has always been my biggest supporter in all this from when I was 14 to now at 59 :) If I make it back home this summer, Love to have lunch with you and Mr. Haney. Don is an old friend.

[@vulpinemachine]

I'm happy you were supported. I'm working on opening a local game store and my mom thinks I'm gonna be selling computer games.... *Facepalm*.

[@Skullduggerydodo]

I painted my first larger miniature about a year ago and I absolutely loved every minute of it , it's a bit Daunting at first but when you start you don't wanna stop

[@MarcGibson-xb1xr]

I feel like an idiot for never thinking of UV resin to fill gaps in miniatures.

[@vulpinemachine]

It's kind of genius...

[@KevinoftheCosmos]

My goodness that looks incredible. Especially the environment of the piece, imo. wow.

[@kookieslayer]

Man, working on that Golden demon entry really leveled up your painting. You seem to have a way better grasp of light, colors and values now. Great result again here! I do love painting other models than GW stuff. 75mm is a great scale to learn and improve on. I also did a speedpainting competition a couple months ago and they gave us an orc bust to paint. I was never interested in busts, but after painting it, I am way more interested. You can concentrate on different parts of the models, It's such a nice change of pace!

[@clasolson1251]

Really inspiring to see this video. I recently bought a 3D printer and are about to print some busts that I am going to give my family for Christmas, and they will be my first large scale projects. Looking forward to painting them!

[@anibalgonzalez7990]

Everytime I see one of your paints, I think to myself: fuck this guy is good.

[@CosmicDrama]

very cool to see the objective control sponsership! their first kickstarter produced some amazing products that ive been stoked to use in my games. for sure will be checking out the new kickstarter, following these guys work closely! super cool model, and fantastic work as always. will have to check that kickstarter out as well

[@gambitl1]

I'm not sure which video I heard your advice on UV Resin to fill gaps, but I want to thank you. THANK YOU! This has made my life so much easier.

[@lyonesskim]

I enjoy watching you paint. I don't make miniatures, either. I make digital 3d figures. A lot of practices are the same, I just do them in substance! This is a gorgeous figure, and I'm really enjoying the paint process!

[@CornflakeJusticeHD]

I literally just started painting my first large scale model two days ago. Wild timing on this video! I'm painting Miniac's Duchess!

[@gdonaldson26]

I've just finished a 12" Abaddon Statue from Forge World "back in the day" when they did such things, and it's made me realise that I really enjoy working on the larger figure. It's both more forgiving but also more expressive in what I was able to achieve.

[@Loli-Knight]

I've come to enjoy larger models far more than miniatures lately. So much so that I've started scanning all of my Death Guard models so that I can turn them into STLs and 3D print them at larger scales. It's been a TON of fun.

[@vulpinemachine]

Scan....what....what's this?

[@basstoneur]

This is a beautiful paintjob, we see really well the intentions you put in your painting.

[@HammerFang]

I’m preparing to give a try with big model for the first time. In this video there were some really nice advices and also you painted it dark and I love it. One of the biggest advices so far was to use just couple paints to make model look more cohesive. That reminds me those color cubes you was presenting in other videos. Will have to try it also as I always struggle to pick color scheme and triad system from Army painter seemed always as a go to solution. But now you show that we dont need 6x6 paints, we need just 6 plus black and white.

[@guywhosayscool]

Gorgeous, stunning paint job! I love that, other than priming, this was done with all brushwork. Thanks for showing what can be achieved without an airbrush.

[@stephenrenwick8781]

AWESOME! Funnily enough I have just started working on busts. I just needed a break from the smaller stuff.

[@artistpoet5253]

I've recently been trying out Liquites heavy body acrylics. On terrain to start with. It's surprisingly easier to use than most other hobby paints. I'm happy with the results at least. I also build and paint Gunpla. I like the larger format and kitbashing.

[@mikemccoy2801]

Looks great, this was my favorite sculpt from the KS I think

[@bluetea1400]

It's a joy to watch you really get to play with this larger scale model!!! and what a beautiful paint job!

[@Rastinsd]

Absolutely love the texturing and color tones on the shoulders and around the neck. Fantastic work!

[@Rastinsd]

Any recommendations on some good brands to look for 75mm miniatures but priced more in line with what an amateur would be willing to “attempt” painting? I love the Brom stuff but would never want to lay paint to it out of fear of not doing it justice

[@Wijkert]

1:26 did not know that Brom did the Diablo II cover! Man, that game had its hooks in me.

[@thespacebar8643]

This is great. The subtle stage lighting on the pillars is my favourite bit.

[@teoiny1]

Thanks for bringing attention to the BROM kickstarter! Completely slipped my attention. I will also definitely be backing the Objective CTRL campaign when it goes live. All in all a great (but ultimately expensive) video 🤣

[@orcster2378]

Loving your work. This video really resonated with me. Blood Bowl and 40K occupy my paint desk. Gonna crack out a big model on the 3D printer and give myself a fun challenge 🤟

[@maverick7730]

I’ve only been painting for two years but started with painting some Mythic Legions Action figures, and now want to get into painting miniatures. It’s kinda funny that I’m doing sort of the reverse steps from big to small scale, but it’s definitely fun to see how techniques apply to both large and small scale. Also, that Frankenstein monster definitely needs to go into a painting competition, I could see it taking first place

[@RealJahzir]

I really like these types of videos. I have enjoyed trying out this style of painting ever since you did that Samurai rabbit.

[@homidphilodox]

Long time painter here, almost three decades. I have a 3D printer that I’ve found to be a great success augmenting tabletop minis… the thought of a larger model felt incredibly intimidating but just as alluring. I think I will take a chance and trust the process.

[@Ryoku1]

You should do another big sculpture but with a random card from the color cube.

[@SatyricSaint1999]

you really nailed the atmosphere of the original art, nice job.

[@DrakeossDragoon]

I'm what I would call an army painter the biggest thing I've painted before was a coalassal from privateer press ( about 5-6 ish inch tall models for use on the table) well recently I bit the bullet and now I have a 22inch tall Karlock sitting on my desk waiting for paint and I'm working on getting the nerve to start slapping that paint on and this video is helping to motivate me to get started on her, thanks and great video Ninjon :)

[@lilpixie25]

That highlight worked out beautifully in that piece, nice job

[@markinman3119]

Another amazing video! Another amazing paintjob! I would love to see more videos that like painting big models. Keep making these!

[@kingkreaghan]

It's so beautiful and a brilliant piece of artwork!

[@Riddler_von]

Thank you thank you. I’m a huge fan of Brom and his work is indescribably good

[@andreyp2810]

The biggest problem of all kickstarter projects is the release date. Looking on these models I'd paint at leas half of them, but it's because I see the model and I'm greatly inspired at the moment. Sadly, while waiting for release, quite often fire in your heart goes down and you don't feel the same satisfaction as it was when you was motivated with pledging the campaign. The last model I've got in a such way was absolutely freaking awesome goblins gang that I had to wait for approximately for about half a year. But, yes, this Mindwork line is really great. It gives life to fascinating models and allows us today to make heroes of our childhood to became more real than we could imagine about 20-30 years ago.

[@bakamaru3867]

Jon this looks awesome. I have a bust of Astarion from BG3 I am painting for my wife (her favorite character) and I am struggling with making the skin look good but this is helping me adjust how I look at it and how I plan on approaching it tonight. Keep up the amazing vids!

[@Chimer24-qs5wo]

I think Brom would've been proud of that paintjob. Brilliantly done and love the 'don't sweat it' advice you gave. Awesome. Thank you )O(

[@dylansovine3343]

This sad clown turned out absolutely amazing Jonny Boi!!!

[@DreadQuinn]

That looks amazing! Ive yet to try painting a big figure but this got me excited to do it.

[@FreelancerND]

For me it's always PRIMAL Collectibles, those series of figurea are absolutely top notch. Not only the sculpts themselves are excellent, but there were also clearly made with painting in mind, because it's a pure joy to paint them.

[@jayruggiero8955]

Have you ever been to the MMSI-military miniatures society of Tllinois?they have a growing minis category,it is every October

[@MrSphinchee]

Would really appreciate if you'd speak more about recipes for color mixing.

[@chaoticpainting1507]

Dude, what an awesome paint job! I love it! Thanks for sharing! I always enjoy watching your videos!

[@Rodrat]

I've been working on a giant 13 inch tall dragon that's designed like a betta fish. Its been a huge task to paint and I've ashamedly been putting it off. I have all the base layers done. I just need to paint the finer details.

[@BlackDevilMamba]

This resonates with me. There is something satisfying about painting a larger figure. In my case the paint is more forgiving when it comes to blending or shading for a 72mm or higher than on a 32mm or 28mm. Also on a larger scale model you might not have so much pressure on yourself to paint more precisely because you have more freedom and space on a bigger mini. Long story short, just have fun with whatever you paint regardless of the size but do give larger minis a try if you never tried it.

[@LeonValenti]

After painting my first bust I think I enjoy display painting more than painting for the tabletop. Bigger pieces are amazing for showcasing more technique!

[@brent_the_programmer9108]

I've got 2 75mm models that intimidate me. I've set them on my shelf and look forward to painting them... One day.

[@talonjansen8926]

I frigging love Brom artwork; these are stunning sculpts. I never do Kickstarters but might have to check this one out.

[@TheRyanMeredith]

I would love to see you take on a 1/8th or 1/4 scale model sometime!

[@mf2943]

I was never really into Warhammer to begin with, i followed you mostly for the really awesome painting videos, but my miniatures of choice are Battletech mechs because i love the universe. Coupled with a ton of friends who are into Warhammer but wanted something different - there is a ton to explore outside of Warhammer and if you love painting beautiful minis of people, there are sooooo many to choose from. So paint what you want - I'll still watch

[@desykd7294]

yeah i`m totally on that page. I`ve been wanting to paint a 55ml figure for ages but a mixture of layness maybe fear keeps me from printing one and doing it.

[@wintermute4978]

Excellent video as always. I wasn't aware of Mindwork Studios until you mentioned them in your Adepticon video earlier this year. As a result I took a look at their website was amazed by the minis they produce specifically the ones based upon the artwork of Frank Frazetter and of course Brom. I've always wanted a miniature of Elric so I ordered the Display Edition of the Black Sword miniature (the artwork for which iyou included in the video). A miniature I wouldn't have known existed if it hadn't been for you mentioning them in March. Thank you.

[@ribofen]

That paint job looks awesome

[@Wijkert]

Nice to see a display mini on the channel!

[@SnowImp]

I really enjoyed painting Magnus the Red compared to the smaller stuff.

[@pessimisticAI]

I have a bust that's been waiting primed and ready for more than a year that I find too intimidating to just start painting and figuring things out as I go. I needed exactly this kind of video. Thanks!

[@theromeog]

When you said Large Model. I was hoping for a 1/6th scale - But you still did an amazing job with this! Kudos !!!!

[@BenLillegard]

My parents don’t even really know about my Warhammer/miniatures collection, but my wife will just shake her head and walk away when I purchase anything to add to add. 😅

[@Deteeff]

I've had a nice Predator bust primed on my desk for about a year... Guilty...

[@piptarou]

I started my painting journey a decade ago by painting board game models. Over the past 2 years I've discovered that I really like painting busts and li'l guys. I 3d print and get my busts from multiple places, but I really like Bite the Bullet for my li'l guys. I swear I'm not a shill, their models just have so much personality! If others here have some creators to suggest for "li'l guys" please comment them! I'm always on the look out for some silly little models that may get a smile out of others. I find if I can't mentally picture a paint scheme for a model, it'll never get done; it almost never ends up as that exact scheme BUT I get paint on the model and then the model tells me how it really wants to be painted.

[@jasonrhome710]

I picked up the Ghoul Queen bust... last year? Two years ago? Eeesh... Either way, I have a Brom art book with the painting in it that I'm planning to use as a reference source. I did a zombie bust in a similar manner and it was a lot of fun.

[@Wijkert]

14:29 I feel like Sam would have a good time wetblending with thicker paints like these.

[@christiansebine7316]

Amazing job on this one mate, love it!👏👏👏

[@chance9979]

Not only do I paint lager scale models, I stopped painting 40K after learning how fun they were.

[@optomix3988]

I love painting large models. I find it easier mainly because my eyes are not as good as they used to be.

[@gmsisd]

Jason at monument hobbies just did a big sale on large minis for his birthday last week... hmmmm quite a convenient time to post a video like this 😂

[@duogemstone]

I mainly paint bigger models as i was never in to playing warhammer and while i do play dnd models are loosely used (mostly just to have a rough idea of positioning ) so i just have always just painted to paint. I have no real set scale as since 3d print most things nowadays i play with size quite often scaling minis up or scaling statues down

[@ironxYT]

way ahead of you there. I’ve been checking out Xenos Rampant, model agnostic game system. Reviewed to be a bit more crunchy than OnePageRules.

[@the_sigil4340]

I have just been painting a bust from the first time, it was really fun and I must say I think I did a fine job for my level.

[@donsgibson]

Another great video. Would love a video on your post painting , how you do your photo shoot pictures. Thanks.

[@createdmanpainting]

This is bloody incredible

[@AvocationNation]

sick paintjob. Good job, Jon

[@EhreIstVerloren]

Gimme that "Commence the slapping" merch

[@yannickcarter2533]

Incredible work

[@marcolai9735]

What an amazing interpretation!!! 👏🏽

[@leonlaffoon9989]

Damn. Nice job Jon.

[@sirbobulous]

54mm or 75mm I find quite comfortable a transition from smaller models. I found painting a bust much more difficult and way less satisfying.

[@edwindaughenbaugh2939]

tried painting a large model for the first time recently, and really didn't like how it was going so I stopped this makes me want to go back and give it another shot.

[@worzelgummage4245]

looks like you opened a store with all that goodness

[@Nikita_Brus]

Ninjon the Enabler

[@kennyclaing4923]

I really wanted to buy a model from this kickstarter, but then I saw the price, and… I’ve got plenty of models already !

[@kevinyoung6605]

Was that skull bowl on top of the desk a Trevor Foster piece?

[@emhooaryou698]

Warhammer isn't really my thing, but i do love painting minis. I'll give bigger models a go-- maybe that's what ive been looking for!

[@allcanadianweekend]

I'm really hesitant on kickstarters. The last one you recommended that I got in on (broken anvils forged collection) looks like they aren't going to be delivering.

[@chemicalBR0]

I only ever paint large models. Most of the stuff I paint is 3d printed so I can pick the scale. A big model just has way more impact IMO... for me a 75mm figure is small... I just finished a dragon and that thing has a wingspan of 40cm [about 15 inches].

[@jamesperrin3762]

Beautiful rendition of the figure

[@andrewrockwell1282]

Beautiful piece. I looked at the Brom Kickstarter but it's too rich for my blood. I did just start working with resin miniatures and am looking for a good glue, so I will try that one you mentioned.

[@robpaintsminiatures]

My channel has very few warhammer painting becuase there way too many out there already... my channel paints all sorts of other stuff, board game miniatures, d&d miniatures and more. But i wanted to paint warhammer just to get more viewers but i realized i didn't really like painting armies and specially space marines. Great video and awesome paint job @ninjon.

[@DrunkTank82]

What, no funny post-outro outtakes?!? Hahaha! Brom is definitely an artist who's work I've seen, but never realized how often and genre defining. Welp, time to go buy a model and some more art books!

[@JasemCatrall]

I never have painted larger than 32mm or 1/48 scale. This model reminds me of "Mien Hertz Brennt" by Rammstiem

[@cobudho]

"Let go and let Brom"👍🙂👍

[@benmiles00]

Thank you Jon. I'll keep banging on about the amazing range of models on Etsy for significantly less money than GW's overpriced tiny minis till I'm blue in the face.

[@jamesmilholen9444]

I tried to do a large style 75mm or so model once, almost 8 years ago and ooooof I did not do a great job. And I don't count my treelords cause those are a different beast all together.

[@roderblue]

It's me, never painted larger than Warhammz.
