Wife got me one for X-mas. I took the hint hahah
THAT was a disaster!? Nope. That underside was wonderful and very inspiring. Great work. Love it.
Agreed, it looks awesome.
The funny part was, that's literally how I paint my nids, Airbrush a light grey on the body, light blue wash all over, drybrush all of it to hide the weird pooling.
If only I could have disasters like that 🙂
It's just click-bait dude.
I thought it turned out very well, you are a very talented mini painter!
Of course we want to see you paint it, that's why we are here dude, your Kit Bashes are EPIC!!!!!!!
Directly copied this one from the last video?? Wtf lol
Everything about this video was great. The project, the storyline in the project, and even the advertisement ("smells like an egg salad sandwich" was very evocative). 😂
You've found what feels to me like a perfect video voice. Keep up the good work, I'm always excited to see the next one.
I second that! I can't remember actually liking a youtube advertisement segment - but this one was funny as hell. Of course, the rest of the video was even better!
I don't paint or play WH40k, so for me a lot of the painting process is still magically impressive like watching a magician and you don't know how to tricks work; despite NinJon always teaching me how to paint in these videos. That all said, this final looks amazing. The creepy fleshy tones are scary and i like the contrast with the darker, tougher, "f-you" looking dark green armor.
I haven't really seen many of your videos and don't know if you give your models special titals/names but, If you don't have a name for this thing, I have a couple ideas.
Titanic Eviscerator - It's a huge bug with lots of spiky tentacles and limbs.
Bioforge - Cool lore idea: This creature is sort of a giant mobile factory, consuming biomass and churning out powerful units.
Devouring Scourge - Alternate name for lore above. ^
Embassy of The Hive Mind - Mabye this thing is a VERY powerful Psycher?
Hyrotyranivar - Pronounce this how you want. Just a cool sounding name.
Edit: I personally think Bioforge and Embassy of The Hive Mind fit the most for this creature.
Hey Jon, as an utter noob of a mini painter, this video was absolutely important for me to see. It's a great reminder that everyone has these moments where whatever ideas you had you go right out the window, and no matter how many different ways you try to capture a certain vision, sometimes the fates are just not going to let that vision come to fruition. Your honest delivery of this process made for a great video, so I thank you for reminding us that no matter how much we admire your talent and creativity that you too are human like the rest of us and that your results are achieved through hard word and dedication to learning from others and our own mistakes. I love all your videos, but this one just really spoke to me...and made me laugh. Keep up the good work!
That big bug turned out to be awesome good job 👍
The tyranid looks great hope you do some more big kit bashes in the future
Wouldn't an oil wash work better for large models, since you can remove it from the areas you don't want it on later?
I like when content creators show their mistakes and setbacks. We often put our favorite folks on pedestals thinking everything they do is amazing, because it's all that gets posted. Mistakes are opportunities to learn and possibly create new and better techniques for the future.
Seraphim Sepia is truly the Chris Farley of paints.
Wow what a treat
At the End, it looks awesome!
I'm listening and learning from you and miniac and ebay miniature rescues... I've been painting for 2 and a half years and my skills ... well are lacking but you all inspire me every single time I pick up a brush I shall continue to slay the grey with you in mind ! Keep it up and that nid monster is amazing!
What an awesome watch that was, thank you.
Really great to see a video that shows things that went wrong and how to recover from them. Kudos to you for putting this online. I wish more content creators would do similar things. Thanks for the video!
Turned out great!
Sometimes you leave the big ones till last just as a treat, something to look forward to once you've done the repetitive infantry, knowing you may not find the motivation to do them once you've done the big fun ones.
It's gorgeous! It's always such a pleasure to watch your amazing kitbashes painted and reaching the final look!
I see you are also a fellow LoadingReadyRun enjoyer! Lovely paintjob that really does this awesome thing you build justice.
Great editing to demonstrate the issue with the wash.
jon you remined me how much I enjoyed painting minis ,which is why I will continue to watch your videos thanks dude !
At the end it looks great dude
I feel like this is the perfect example where oil paints would have been better then a acrylic wash also you made a lovely hive fleet tiamet
That looks excellent
The under side is my favorite part!! You did great Ninjon!!
Really love the model and the process, great work as always! It might have been interesting to try your initial wash with an oil wash, that way you could have easily removed any staining on more raised surfaces with a makeup sponge or paper towel, and left the wash in the deep recesses.
Amazing paintjob, love the colorscheme.
Love how it looks either way tbh.
Like that it looks more alien arthropod like rather than the dinosaur esque thing tyranids have going currently.
looks awesome.
love the scale of this absolute monstrosity!
great work on the paint job 🙏
Awesome work on both the kitbash and the painting.
I’m loving these kitbashes, and even more so the videos of you painting them. Keep ‘em coming!
I love this smoke effect! I kind wish you did something similar in the non smoking bio vents! to show a deep acrid heat coming from the inside of your Broodmother! Keep up the great work, I love how you come out of a paintscheme undefeated.
I am a historical wargamer and have been watching you for a long time now (Subscribed ages ago too). I really love the way you approach the hobby and I am amazed at your creation. Keep doing amazing things, I look forward to watching more
Dude that base and the smoke are both very inspiring effects! Overall project is awesome
It still looks absolutely stunning
As usual, you slayed the grey like a master! Cool paint job and awesome kitbash
The wash didn't work like you had anticipated because your surface was not as smooth as you normally work with! One of the downsides to airbrushing is that the atomization of the paint makes a rougher finish due to droplets drying in the air before getting to the model. Run your hand on bare plastic, spray primed, and airbrushed undercoats and you will immediately feel the difference. It would be similar to sanding the model with 2000 grit sandpiper and then wondering why the wash doesn't work the same as a surface that has been sanded with 5000 grit.
This is so freaking epic I subbed instantly! Wow!!
Just wanna say how much I appreciate your videos. I feel like each one is receiving an art class college lecture from a teacher that’s passionate and talented. I’m always getting value out of time spent watching. Thank you so much. You’re a hero.
This turned out great!! I think that pushing through the issue with the shade is important to highlight, things will never be perfect but we should never give up when it happens, find a way to make it work.
I think the shade unintentionally gave you highlight areas to focus on that way you could fix them and make it diffrent.
Great video Jon :)
My favourite videos so far! Absolutely amazing.
I just painted my first Carnifex a week ago. Always only painted termagaunts and hormagaunts and symbionts, hoping to become a better painter, until I was bored over and over for years. Last week I decided... 15 years is enough wait... it will not be brilliant, but it will have color... So yeah nice you send this message out there to your audiance.
Love you style of "That went wrong, lets not trash it but adapt and repair it"
For blacklining an enamel panel liner would be worth looking into. Really flows into recesses when you just touch it anywhere and if you spill over too much, there's always wiping off with white spirit
Glad you worked thru that, learned some good tricks there. Keep up the good work!
Talent aside... which is simply logic defying... I love your philosophy and pragmatism when it comes to the craft. I always get more from your words than anything else. Thanks Jon!!!!
So cool what you said in this video about building up a model and not just starting over. Thanks for your hard work and honest ways of sharing your hobby experience with us!
I’m all for targeted wash shading. I normally use an oil paint and then get it to the consistency of ink by mixing it with white spirits. Then I will go in with a very fine brush and shade just the areas I want shaded not applying too much paint. It takes a little longer but then you don’t need to bother about touch ups.
OMG! I couldn't stop laughing at your Manscaped "commercial"... SOOO HILARIOUS. It's no wonder I keep coming back to your videos - not only to learn new stuff about wargaming crafting and products, but because you are the most entertaining and likeable personality on TH-cam.
Fantastic kitbash!
The model is working so good for me that I wish GW add it as an actual unit for Tyranids and I would love to play with it!
I’m big fan of Tyranids!
A Brainy and Scythy ?mid-sized? Bio-Titan! Let’s name this Beast!
My idea is Penchant Queen
because the model is made of passion and love, has an insect-like body plan which reminds me of an ant queen, and in my opinion name fits among other alien-sounding tyranid name’s such as Haruspex or Hierophant.
I’ve been looking forward to this so much!
This model looks phenomenal! Amazing work as always.
Don’t know why you were so worried - the end model is a masterpiece bug/tyranid
Now I feel empowered to finish my bugs, which have sat unfinished for an untold amount of time. Thank you Jon :D
"Life is short. Paint the cool stuff."
Truer Words Have Never Been Spoken.
Great video. Awesome project and very cool inspiration and tips
I absolutely love how you peel back the curtain and show us that not everything goes as expected. And also that we shouldn’t be disparaged by those hiccups. Truly invigorating as a mini painter!
Awesome conversion, awesome scheme and awesome video !
Well done. Definitely Not a disaster. I love the paint scheme of this model.
I like it good job.
I would have probably tried to use contrast paint in place of the initial wash step, intending to build up layers from there... And likely would have made an even bigger mess.
Excellent Uncle Jon Video!
That move to the advertising segment killed me.
10/10.
For what it's worth, the brown wash over the warm white on the underside kinda gave me ideas! I agree it didn't look necessary like irritated flesh, but what it DID look like was old, recently-unearthed bone! Actually, what it made me think of specifically was the skeleton of the Space Jockey in *Alien*, and gave a very similar spooky, almost-familiar, haunted-organic vibe. Might be cool on a Necron model!
This model is absolutely gorgeous!!!! You might have had a slight hiccup at first, but man your paint jobs just keep me impressed all day every day. Keep up the amazing work!!!!!!
Incredible paint job. With that base included it’s very immersive. Thanks for the wise tips on painting big models!
great build and great colors! wow that enamel effect was crazy good
Love the colour scheme, both skin and carapace - Crazy good result with the red flame/smoke
Looks badass man! Keep up the good work!
"Life is short, paint the fun stuff" should be a t-shirt
I think it came out amazing! About the wash at the start, maybe use an oil wash instead (smoother blends and it flows into the cracks perfectly - I just saw a video about it and it worked great).
Great job nonetheless!
Great video again Jon! You have totally inspired me to revisit or well "restart" my Tyranid collection. Keep on being awesome!
Absolutely love the colors on the base
I paint the troops first when dealing with an army. Gives me practice with the colors. So when I get to the characters, I have prior knowledge to paint the characters better than the troops. Same thing if it is a box of monsters and four heroes. Also there is something satisfying about being albe to clear ten models off your todo list when batch painting an army.
I came back and watched this again after letting it digest for a bit. And I really loved what you said at the end and it tied the whole video together. I always fall victim to that feeling that I need to paint the boring small models because I'm afraid of ruining the larger cool stuff and characters. But I really need to just go after those big models, and those cool characters, because like you said. Life is short. And painting the cool stuff is what its all about.
that is such a great looking paint job. can't wait to get started on my wife's Nids... just waiting to make it to Turkey before I can start painting them
I think it turned out fantastic, really eerie colour scheme but it just worked.
I'd also like to thank you as I've just finished sculpting and painting my first project and even though it was a couple of owls, your tips and tricks translated perfectly to completing it. I couldn't have done it without you, thanks.
And now you have discovered the difference between miniature painting, and model painting. I am currently painting a head about 3 times the size of your kitbashed creature.
I get lots of great tips watching mini painting videos, but not all of it translates to larger sized pieces.
With something that big, you either want an oil wash, or thin down some contrast paint and add a bit of retarder so it won't dry so fast and leave those tide marks.
You've earned my sub (honestly hadn't realised I hadn't subbed yet), but you've also persuaded me to finally paint my Be'Lakor instead of slogging through infantry
Excellent video as always. "Life is short, paint the fun stuff" should be on a t-shirt.
And he thinks this came out sub par! What an amazing paint job Ninjon!

Love that paint scheme ❤
Good to know that I'm not the only one painting on the edge of a very big table, hunched over and squinting no matter how much I tried to ergonomically fit my painting space for posture. 11:41
Consistently amazing work. Here's to the next one!
awesome work as always!
Never painted a mini but like the idea of it ,glad you painted this one and shared it with us ,thank you 😊
That red smoke looks amazing and such a simple process! Cheers for sharing that! As a Tyranid player, I was also initially confused about the "smoke" but I do believe it's meant to represent the spores that Tyranid beasties emit when devouring a planet, to make the air toxic to anything that isn't a Tyranid. The more you know! :)
You and manscaped is a surprise but a welcome one
This turned out wonderfully! Good job!
Crimson Croc next!
Great work, thanks for sharing 👍
I painted Marvel Zombicide’s Galactus this week, it turned out to be an experience I’d both recommend but not to underestimate the enormity of the project. At around 26 inches tall and roughly 20 inches wide, it’s like no other mini. Good stuff.
One of the best lessons I've ever learned is to trust the process. More often than not, it works out.
awesome paint job !
NINJON! THANK YOU FOR PAINTING THIS MASSIVE LAD
God-Emperor that looks amazing. Ironically I actually spilled a shedload of paint on my desk while watching this so the whole "things go wrong" message timed well
I think it came out great in the end! I'll be using this for tackling a few bigger models in the near future.
Looks good. Love the base too--I gotta make some terrain with that color scheme.
Super cool model. Awesome project!
