looks great... but I don't like how everyone uses nihilakh oxide on iron/steel. It doesn't look realistic, rust isn't blue. oxidation of copper/bronze it's great for
That's the only thing I dislike about this one. Different metals oxidize differently, and none of them oxidize as both patina and rust. The chemical breakdowns are very different, and as you said, it doesn't look right when mixed like this.
@@DMNKLR_official yeah... I've only ever seen copper and bronze patina, ever... and that's just due to the copper content in bronze. and having worked with a ton of heavy equipment, I've never seen patina on rusted iron/steel. plus, I hate when people add rust to moving parts on miniatures/models like tanks and planes. if it moves like pistons, it is less likely to rust unless constantly exposed even if the rest of the machine is a rust bucket...
Very true. When I weather anything mechanical, I always take implied functionality levels into consideration, and use real-life examples for reference. Heavy machinery definitely gets rusty, but only on stationary components, such as steel plating, on the outside body panels, on a crane, backhoe, tank, etc. Anywhere that has lots of consistent movement will remain "clean" & polished, usually with grease and/or oil.
Just wanted to say thank you all for the feedback. It honestly didn’t even occur to me while painting that the metals are obviously different lol. I hope you all enjoyed the video otherwise :)
Found this video as a random youtube recommend! Not disappointed! Feel like I learnt a couple of cool things straight away to add to my painting! I look forward to diving into your archive!
Thanks for watching! There are a lot of these videos that you could technically categorize as ASMR, but that was never my intention. It is very satisfying watching paint go onto a model though :)

Really nice lord of plagues - one thing i noticed now apart from your painting you have a solid taste in tunes running in the background :) Most of tutorial videos from other creators have a generic type of "I want to rip somebody to shreds" vibe running in the background.
Could you do a slaves to darkness model as I have collected for a while and am still not too happy with my painting scheme Another thing is if you are trying to decide on what to do next put 2-3 options at the end of a video and let the viewers decide Otherwise great as usual
I’ve been searching for some slaves to darkness on eBay, just trying to find the right deal, I’m sure I’ll get to them at some point :) I dig that idea!! Thanks for throwing that out there.
I really like where you went with this guy; I went more the standard GW colors route with mine and like the way he came out a lot. But did I miss a step somewhere in the video? I noticed the ax at one point appeared to have had Screaming Bell or something like applied to the edges of it, or was that just the lighting?
Thanks! You didn’t miss a step, I was going to coat it with the screaming bell but decided against it, I did hit the corners, but I covered it all back up when I started the weathering. So in the end you don’t see any of it and I cut out the video of me putting some on. Good catch on that :)
Thank you! I have been wrestling with this for a while actually. I might end up doing all real-time painting with speed thrown in after the main portions are shown, but I’m not sure yet, have to do some testing :) Thanks for the feedback :)
Question. When you need to strip a model down from a prior bad paint job, what do you use? Right now, I'm using Simple Green and it is horrible doesn't work at all. Thanks for your time.
There are a lot of things you can use, I’ve had alright experiences with simple green, not the best...I’m currently using LAs Totally Awesome, and its ridiculous! Works extremely fast and it’s $1 a bottle at your local $1 store.
So I like your videos. I've watched a lot since I found your channel a few days ago. But I got to ask do you not keep your GW paints fully sealed? If you do they will dry faster that way.
Thanks! I try and keep them sealed as best I can, but the paint builds up in the back over time. I feel alright with this for the most part because I’ve had the same GW paints for probably 3 years, I’ve had maybe 1 bottle go bad because of this in that time. I want to put them all into dropper bottles at some point because I use the airbrush quite a bit, having an easier way to dispense paint and keep them from going bad would be nice!

turned out nice. I really need to invest in an airbursh. are the small ones for miniatures very expensive? just not sure if you need to get a high end one for decent results or not.
Well I just put out a video about this the other day :) personally I think if you’ve never airbrushed before then you should get a relatively inexpensive one and start playing with it, see what you like about it and then upgrade from there! If you can afford to drop a few hundred dollars then you should just jump to something nice, if not, there are lots of options out there :) The comment section on the video has some really good information on a lot of airbrushes, cheap and otherwise.

Thanks! The level of rescue varies, this one had some issues you can kind of see at the beginning. Lots of funky glue, mold lines, I had to fill some gaps and do some sanding. I should have put all that in the video lol. A lot of them I do show that work, but it really depends on the level of work going into the model. This one didn’t take too much. I hope that helps explain it a little :) thanks for watching!
I use the nameless cheap brand from amazon, I think it was $60? It’s worked great for probably a year and a half now, and I use it a lot! I have a friend who has been trying to get me into the Warmahordes (😂) but I haven’t taken the leap. I really like a lot of those minis, I just wouldn’t know what to do with them lol. If you have any suggestions as 1 off models that people are always looking for then I would be down to pick one up and flip it. Same goes for pretty much any miniature though :)
Great job at painting him. Buuuuut ... IMO that healthy pink flesh color doesn't quite scream Nurgle. We need about 20% more dedication to the grandfather :)
Thank you! Doing this has gotten me painting on a way more regular basis, so I’m glad to see there’s a noticeable difference in quality :) This one took me probably 2.5/3 hours to paint, somewhere around there.
Thank you! Alternatively I really like doing a dirty white for things like death guard. Green does seem to be where nurgle lands most of the time, I bet if the GW art changed then people would shift with it. Interesting to think about for sure.
I run Vallejo flow improver through the pot before I load the primer, I don’t usually have any problems if I do that. I don’t leave any in the pot when I put the primer in, just let it run over the needle. I also set my psi to 30/35 so it’s coming out pretty strong for priming.
sorry another question, how do you know when youv'e thinned too much? having trouble finding the proper consistancy and then I put it on the model and it looks bad or maybe too thin wet, so I panic and wipe it off lol
Lol I’ve been there. It just depends on what you are trying to do. Really thin dirty paint water is great for glazing onto a mini over many thin layers in order to tint the underlying color towards the dirty paint water color. For general layering though you just want enough water mixed in so it sticks in your brush and flows onto your pallet nicely. If it’s too thin then it will break up on your pallet and you will need to add more paint. Just load up your brush and test it first, a lot of people use their hand as a test, the pallet, some paper. Each color is slightly different, so it’s something you just get used to over time. The warhammer official TH-cam channel does pretty good at demonstrating the consistency of paints in their videos. Probably the best I’ve seen for showing up close is Pete the Wargamer, his videos are also excellent :)
I own 1 citadel air paint lol They work great, the only real issue is that GW decided to keep them in the regular paint pots instead of dropper bottles, so it’s really inconvenient to use them. If you need to color match with GW then absolutely they are the way to go, worth the extra effort, but otherwise, not so much. Hope that answers you question :)
Not on a regular basis, if I get something in a lot of minis that I don’t want or need, then I’ll sell it to just get some of my money back. Overall, I don’t think it’s a very good business model, there’s too much volatility to reliably find and flip models. This is more of a special case, I own a Lord of Plagues already and I figured it would be kind of cool to have a figure in your collection that had a story to go with it. It was also to potentially help with funding these videos. I am going to sink %100 of it back into new (used eBay) models :) I do commissions occasionally, very occasionally, and that’s a much better trade for time. It’s way more stable as far as a business and you have a lot more control over the time you are spending on something. If you don’t mind, can I use a screengrab of your question in a future video? I hope that answers your question :)
@@eBayMiniatureRescues Sure go on ahead. I was just curious cause I sold a bunch of Legions of nagash painted higher than I should have because the people wanted them painted. Bit I was always told people just strip models lol
Thanks! Lol yeah that’s probably a good assumption to make, buying on eBay the plan is almost always strip it and start over. I do see some guys going for it though, painting a ton of stuff to a high standard, but for the prices they want I would just hire someone to paint it the way I wanted them to lol. Even still, you sold those minis, so money in your pocket :)
Thanks! I probably did a disservice to myself by not showing all the things I cleaned up before I started. Whatever glue was used was all over, mold lines and sprue pieces, and I had to fill some gaps and sand everything down. It wasn’t super noticeable so I skipped it. In any case, the way I like to define rescues isn’t just by how they are painted. I look at price as well as paint. If I can get a mini for cheaper, do a little work to it, and get it painted as if it were new, I will count it as rescues from eBay. Most of the models I paint on this channel have been a used or neglected for sure, sometimes they just aren’t as bad. I hope that helps explain it a little bit :) thanks for watching!
I started with the 7, it was meh, but the 8 and 10 have pretty nice cameras, same with the newer Samsung’s. I also shoot pretty close to my hands, so I’m not using the zoom on the camera, from there I can zoom in and retain pretty good detail. Something to try anyways, it might help without upgrading.
Yeah, the prices have been high for a long time. That’s why I do the channel though, try and save money and still have a good mini at the end of the day :)
@@eBayMiniatureRescues you do an amazing service. I've got some boardgames with some minis I'm looking to paint up, so many advancements in paints and tutorials in the last couple of years got me interested again. I really dug your way of painting.
@@the_musing_kravist even if fully cured, it still scratches, peels and chips too easily. This is why I only use Badger Stynylrez for this stuff. Similar pricing, better quality overall, and a broader color range as well (18 different colors, last I checked).
It depends, if the glue isn’t so thick then they just pop off, sometimes it is really thick and you have to cut away the base entirely and start over. In this particular case, because the round base size is quite a bit larger than the square, you can get away with just putting basing materials around it to blend it in. It gives a little height to this model and the square base can still be used.
It’s definitely a cartoony style sculpt, the Putrid Blightkings are a similar looking sculpt to this one but the weapons are more to scale. That being said, I really like cartoony sculpts :)
I’m still doing them, this week and was just not quite as bad as some of the others. There were mold lines and some gaps I filled, but they were minor so I didn’t show them. No worries though, I’m still on the lookout for ridiculous models that I can save :)
The model had a few issues that I did fix before painting. There was excess glue everywhere that I had to sand off, mold lines, and some gaps that I filled. It wasn’t enough to show, or so I thought, a lot of people are asking this question lol. Hope that answers your question!
It was in pretty bad shape, you can see it a little at the beginning, lots of funky glue, mold lines, a couple of gaps, especially where his right arm attaches. I had to fill some stuff in and sand a lot of the lines and over glued areas, it was some work, but I felt like it wasn’t enough to show. Then again, this question keeps coming up lol, so I probably should have.

They work great, the only real issue is that GW decided to keep them in the regular paint pots instead of dropper bottles, so it’s really inconvenient to use them.
If you need to color match with GW then absolutely they are the way to go, worth the extra effort, but otherwise, not so much.
Hope that answers you question :)
@@eBayMiniatureRescues thank you
Man that is bad-fuckin-ass. Stellar job.
Love the videos. Definitely improved on your video quality as well.
Thanks! Trying to improve with each one :)
Nice work
I don't know how I got here, but great video
The rabbit hole is real lol, thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it :)
The quarantine brought me here .🧻
Is that the Colors of Autumn font (I think that’s what it’s called)?
I’m not sure, I know the title font is called Bebas, but the main one is from a program that doesn’t give me a name; so it totally could be.
It's a gorgeous font, I've used it in artworks.

I found Death Guard Lord of Contagion for less than 10 bucks on ebay brand new. of course I had to get it.
That’s awesome! That model is so cool too :)
Looks mad
So do you buy minis, paint them then resell them? does that work well for you?
Not on a regular basis, if I get something in a lot of minis that I don’t want or need, then I’ll sell it to just get some of my money back.
Overall, I don’t think it’s a very good business model, there’s too much volatility to reliably find and flip models. This is more of a special case, I own a Lord of Plagues already and I figured it would be kind of cool to have a figure in your collection that had a story to go with it. It was also to potentially help with funding these videos. I am going to sink %100 of it back into new (used eBay) models :)
I do commissions occasionally, very occasionally, and that’s a much better trade for time. It’s way more stable as far as a business and you have a lot more control over the time you are spending on something.
If you don’t mind, can I use a screengrab of your question in a future video?
I hope that answers your question :)
@@eBayMiniatureRescues
Sure go on ahead.
I was just curious cause I sold a bunch of Legions of nagash painted higher than I should have because the people wanted them painted. Bit I was always told people just strip models lol
Thanks!
Lol yeah that’s probably a good assumption to make, buying on eBay the plan is almost always strip it and start over. I do see some guys going for it though, painting a ton of stuff to a high standard, but for the prices they want I would just hire someone to paint it the way I wanted them to lol. Even still, you sold those minis, so money in your pocket :)
Amazing.
Background Music, content.., your video seems improving. Keep going I feel good watch your video
how much did it sell for?
Oooh, this was a while ago, I want to say it went for $90? I think, somewhere around there.
Mmmmmmm...
Skills like those must take some time to develop.
Good work, but how is this a rescue if it wasnt already painted?
Thanks!
I probably did a disservice to myself by not showing all the things I cleaned up before I started. Whatever glue was used was all over, mold lines and sprue pieces, and I had to fill some gaps and sand everything down. It wasn’t super noticeable so I skipped it.
In any case, the way I like to define rescues isn’t just by how they are painted. I look at price as well as paint. If I can get a mini for cheaper, do a little work to it, and get it painted as if it were new, I will count it as rescues from eBay. Most of the models I paint on this channel have been a used or neglected for sure, sometimes they just aren’t as bad.
I hope that helps explain it a little bit :) thanks for watching!
It was very enlightening, thank you for the explanation and keep up the great work.
wow this is amazing
What camera/lens do you use?
Just my iPhone 10x. :)
dang, I may need to upgrade. my SE doesnt get nearly that nice of a shot that close. and the focus is drek
I started with the 7, it was meh, but the 8 and 10 have pretty nice cameras, same with the newer Samsung’s. I also shoot pretty close to my hands, so I’m not using the zoom on the camera, from there I can zoom in and retain pretty good detail. Something to try anyways, it might help without upgrading.
AWESOME!!! :D
Ahhh Games Workshop, it's a $2 model MAX! (hence why I stopped playing this shit in the 90s)
Great painting tho
Yeah, the prices have been high for a long time. That’s why I do the channel though, try and save money and still have a good mini at the end of the day :)
@@eBayMiniatureRescues you do an amazing service. I've got some boardgames with some minis I'm looking to paint up, so many advancements in paints and tutorials in the last couple of years got me interested again. I really dug your way of painting.
Nice! Board game minis have come a long way too, nice to play games with painted minis :)
do you ever have problems with that primer rubbing off
I’ve never had any issues, but I have been told that if you plan on using any masking tape you should give it at least 2 coats.
eBay Miniature Rescues thanks ever so much
Tips from Vallejo are that it needs 24 hours to cure fully, and to avoid thinning it if possible.
Andrew Lau thanks
@@the_musing_kravist even if fully cured, it still scratches, peels and chips too easily. This is why I only use Badger Stynylrez for this stuff. Similar pricing, better quality overall, and a broader color range as well (18 different colors, last I checked).
What did it sell for on ebay?
Ended up going for $63 I think it was? Somewhere around there :)
What brushes do you use?
I switch back and forth from army painter to citadel. They both work great as long as you clean them regularly.
@@eBayMiniatureRescues . Awesome. Thank you
👍🏻
£35.30 at present with 9 days remaining......nice!!
how do you remove the model from the square base without damaging them?
It depends, if the glue isn’t so thick then they just pop off, sometimes it is really thick and you have to cut away the base entirely and start over. In this particular case, because the round base size is quite a bit larger than the square, you can get away with just putting basing materials around it to blend it in. It gives a little height to this model and the square base can still be used.
@@eBayMiniatureRescues ah smart, ty!
The blade of the axe should be shorter or the shaft longer, looks kinda goofy.
It’s definitely a cartoony style sculpt, the Putrid Blightkings are a similar looking sculpt to this one but the weapons are more to scale. That being said, I really like cartoony sculpts :)
Where have the rescues gone? Just painting a new model....
I’m still doing them, this week and was just not quite as bad as some of the others. There were mold lines and some gaps I filled, but they were minor so I didn’t show them. No worries though, I’m still on the lookout for ridiculous models that I can save :)
WOW! Amazing :D
Amazing! I still think you should do a military model. An old biplane or tank would be so good.
❤️
How much did it sell for?
I think it ended at $65? Pretty sure, it was a while ago.
The purple wash on that flesh is actually so disgusting, its hard for me to look at . . . very medical and stomach turning. A+++
Haha perfect! Thanks for the comment :)
How is it rescuing it ?
The model had a few issues that I did fix before painting. There was excess glue everywhere that I had to sand off, mold lines, and some gaps that I filled. It wasn’t enough to show, or so I thought, a lot of people are asking this question lol.
Hope that answers your question!
how is this a rescue? there was nothing wrong with the model apart from it being unpainted?
don;t get me wrong its a nice painting video.
It was in pretty bad shape, you can see it a little at the beginning, lots of funky glue, mold lines, a couple of gaps, especially where his right arm attaches. I had to fill some stuff in and sand a lot of the lines and over glued areas, it was some work, but I felt like it wasn’t enough to show. Then again, this question keeps coming up lol, so I probably should have.
no ebay link?
Just updated! Totally almost forgot lol
