I don't want to take away anything from Casey and his really good skills and experience but damn, in the last five-ten years the materials have really come a lot farther than when I started. I left the hobby years ago (no time and money) but it looks really easy to get nice results with minimum effort nowadays. I am not even that old, still I remember doing washes with citadel inks, that left a shiny haze and you needed to mix them with a tiny bit of dish soap to avoid them pooling in nasty ways. It looks to me that with a decent basecoat + wash + highlight now you can get an almost finished model that's way better than what I could do with a lot more steps with the materials I had at the time. And this also mean that if you have some skill and "good hand" as we say in my country, results are not just good, but really spectacular... as for example in this case!
Thanks for the comment! It is amazing how far the materials have come since even the late 90s. The painting systems out there like citadel and army painter make it very easy to follow a few steps and get a pretty good result. Now with the new Contrast paints I feel like it’s getting easier and easier to have decently painted models on the table in no time! It’s a very good time in the hobby right now, so many good looking models out there :)
I know I'm a bit behind the times (due to illness and surgery) but I'm enjoying these as I work my way back through them. They make an extended recuperation much more bearable. Keep going!
This is a perfect use of kit bashing. By adding the different head you did two things: 1. You added a dynamic flair to the head area. Although it was fine before, the new additions are simply outrageous! That is definitely more in style with the character. 2. By introducing a groomed braided moustashe you introduced a vain intelligence to the figure - something that was lacking before. This makes the creature even more terrifying! Brilliant! Thanks to Blake to let Casey to demonstrate his talent and imagination. You've convinced me to subscribe! Cheers!
I voted for this as I know it would be fantastic wit your magic touch. I was NOT dissapointed. You really are a Master Painter. Thanks to Blake for sending this in. What a treat to witness
Know I'm a bit behind - have an extended recuperation from illness and surgery and enjoying your videos (working my way back through them). Keep going!
Wow! Amazing work! I love the way you combine techniques for dramatic effect. Truly inspiring. I rescued a Khorgorath myself last year and was pleased with the results but you take it to another level altogether! You have given me a lot to consider as I have an airbrush I know I should use in my figure painting. I just loathe cleaning the dammed thing! Thanks to Blake for providing the patient needing rescue!
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the video :) If you want to make cleaning your airbrush easier then get a sonic jewelry cleaner, real down the parts and toss them in. Works great for breaking up small paint particles :)
@@eBayMiniatureRescues That is a brilliant idea! I was just looking on ebay the other day at sonic cleaners with the idea of stripping paint from older miniatures.... didn't think about cleaning the air brush. 👍
I appreciate the compliment! I struggled for a long time, it’s just about practice and repetition. It can definitely be frustrating, I still get frustrated at a lot of things about painting, it can be hard but you know, with every mini I can feel the growth, just keep going and you’ll get to where you want to be!
Dude had to stop at 2:33. Are you kidding me! As soon as you said change stuff head swap? I'm thinking oh no! But you have just made the best khorgorath I have ever seen. It genuinely looks better than the original by far. I love you style. I love you work. You already have my subscription and I try to remember to like every video I see of yours you just keep getting better keep Rollin brother cheers.
Thanks, that means a lot! I’m very glad you are enjoying the content even though you don’t paint, pretty cool to have outside perspective on the hobby :)
The spotting you're getting is from the airbrush itself, not the paint over black. I bet you're using a Master's brush. It's notorious for splattering. You could thin your paint a bit, or increase the air pressure a bit to avoid spattering, nice model man! Great rescue. Also for everyone, the mephiston red he used was a layer not a glaze. A glaze should be so faint that you can't even really see the paint, but a tint to the base colour. He's layering here in true fashion.
@@eBayMiniatureRescues Well, that makes two of us. I really want to get a second one. It seems to me that it is a great model to practice my airbrush skills. I haven't even got it working yet.
I use premiere pro’s ducking feature, it’s 80% accurate, still have to adjust a few parts, but it’s a huge time saver!! Btw, love your channel man, I’m subbed on my regular account, just subbed on this one :) I’m also adjusting the volume of each song to only hit -29 dB on ducking, -19 on full volume, vocals around -9 while the music is ducked, seems to be the sweet spot for me, I’ve had issues in the past lol.
eBay Miniature Rescues cool, thank you (and thanks for the kind words!). I haven't tried using ducking but I may take a stab at it. It works great in your videos.
Thanks! It takes a little bit of practice, but if you have a pretty easy to see color separation on the model then as long as you stick to those areas and blend lightly where they meet, you should end up with a pretty nice blend overall.
The mini looks great and far better than I could have ever done. I love the hair bits that were added to it. What exactly were the “official” bits that you used?
I’m glad you like it man, thank you again for sending it in! I used parts from a Skaven verminlord kit. The mustache wraps are I think sideburn wraps and the hair was part of one of the helmets. Had to do some greenstuff for the hair to blend it, I also added more strands of hair around the bottom and down the center to hide the large gap. Turned out though :)
Love what you've done here. The head swap is perfect. Any chance you could detail your gap filling techniques? Those were nasty but you have them invisible now.
I plan on making a quick tip style video about it, but I use milliput for mostly all the gap filling and greenstuff for anything else :) Milliput is water soluble so you can put some on a gap and with some water on your finger or sculpting pen, smooth it out nicely. It’s also inexpensive!
You've not changed my opinion of the Khorgorath as a miniature, but I like your color scheme for it. I don't understand why GW always does that "skulls embedded in flesh" thing for their big chaos beasts. Makes them look like demonic currant buns.
Thanks! I used a bunch of cork, small rocks, and some green stuff tentacles. Then covered it in some texture paint, washed it, dry brushed it with greys and whites, and then finished off some of the details with some purple for the tentacles and dark green for some of the vines.
Great work. I've been trying to decide how to paint up some black armor on some Space Marines for Kill Team. I've been watching videos trying to get ideas. I'd love to hear or see what you'd do with them.
Korgorath sure spends a lot of time at the gym, hairstylist and playing with body paint/makeup before battle. I am sure he has tons of tips, should probably become a life coach as alternative career, much less hazardous than wargaming.
Do you keep the rescued minis? That’s pretty cool if you do. People sending you free minis to paint is very nice of them. If you don’t keep them, how much do you charge?
eBay Miniature Rescues that’s cool and you are very talented. I recently got into Star Wars armada and didn’t realize that the squadrons that are in the game aren’t painted. It just looked like something I had to fix when I set them beside the awesomely pre-painted capital ships. I decided I was going to paint them and channels like yours really helped me learn how to do an at least ok job. Do you work on models that small? I found it pretty challenging
It depends. I do commissions, so if someone is going that route then I send it back. Most of the models on the channel are either ones I have found on eBay or have been kindly donated to the cause :)
wish i was 1/10th as good with paint as u are -.- i love miniatures, i built and posed almost a full Spacemarine army and severa groups of Chaos and Ork groups to have baddies for my "panorama" i had planed out in my head, but the painting.. im just not able to get into it sadly =(
I think it just depends on what your goals are for the hobby. I barely play games these days, I paint 98% of the time. But if you play more I totally get how it would be hard to get into painting on a deeper level.
im not playing at all, i just want them as figurines, i love the 40k universe and have read countless of the books and played several games. but my plan on making 40k panoramas just wont work out, as much as i enjoy build my miniatures and converting them and all, i just cant get into painting due to being misserably bad with the brush -.-
Yeah, the hair is verminlord, I wanted to use the head too, but it was a bit much, the mustache was from the same kit, part of some hair piece that hangs down. Good eye :)
eBay Miniature Rescues i got the idea they are coming from but still. Once i seen it i just left it. I like all the models in AoS starter but this one was just nope for me.

Still uave my inks. Magenta and red. They work like a charm when the model is gloss coated
Awesome miniature. Thank you Blake for sending it in.
Thank you Blake for providing the critter and as always, thank you Casey. I think the touch of purple on the base really made the orange/reds pop.
I know I'm a bit behind the times (due to illness and surgery) but I'm enjoying these as I work my way back through them. They make an extended recuperation much more bearable. Keep going!
Great to hear your recovering, and I’m glad to be part of making that recovering even a little more bearable. Thanks for watching :)
Holy shit. This might be one of your best color pallets to date.
What a great paint job. A big thanks to Blake for sending it to you.
Wow...the kitbashing worked out brilliantly on this! Very nice work! Thank you Casey and Blake!
Awesome. Looks a little like an engorged, mutated, possessed troll slayer dwarf.👍

I've just got to this in my warband, by far the most challenging model I've ever attempted so far
Thanks Casey and thanks Blake for your generosity, brilliant video, awesome paint job.
I voted for this as I know it would be fantastic wit your magic touch. I was NOT dissapointed. You really are a Master Painter. Thanks to Blake for sending this in. What a treat to witness
Thanks Blake!!!!
Another awesome video, well done as always!!
Wow! Soooooo awesome color transitions on this model! And really cool mustaches) Thank you for nice video, Casey!
Great video, thanks Blake good choice
Blake good show old boy 👍. The new head was over the top awesome.
It's absolutely criminal that you don't have more subscribers man. Seriously amazing work. Also, ty Blake!
Another great video, thanks Casey and thanks Blake for sending in such a fine figure
Thanks Blake! Good job Casey another good video another good paint job!
Amazing finish !
Got an airbrush because of this channel. Love your videos, thanks!!!
Really like the hair and the locks on this Khorgorath that you added! Another great video thank you. And thank you Blake for sending in this model!
That looks great!
Thanks Blake!
its a saiyan khorgorath! Even Goku needed to start wearing his brown pants.
i know i am late but its so cool. great job!
Know I'm a bit behind - have an extended recuperation from illness and surgery and enjoying your videos (working my way back through them). Keep going!
awesome work yet again!! and thank you Blake.
Hell yes rescue Sunday is here
Wow! Amazing work! I love the way you combine techniques for dramatic effect. Truly inspiring.

oh look, we found Jaghatai Khan. So this is where he hid his glorious moustache!
Haha yes :)
I am SO jealous of your brush control. I really struggle with fine motor control, and it was so frustrating trying to detail minis.
I appreciate the compliment! I struggled for a long time, it’s just about practice and repetition. It can definitely be frustrating, I still get frustrated at a lot of things about painting, it can be hard but you know, with every mini I can feel the growth, just keep going and you’ll get to where you want to be!
Great video. Didn't think I'd like it, but alas! I was wrong! Excellent work as usual.
that moustache is magnificent.

Man I appreciate that very much, thanks for watching and being an awesome subscriber!
He's beautiful 😍
Awesome job as always my dude! When it comes to models like these, more is always more.
Beauty..... Very beautiful
I started doing a brown under coat for bone a few years ago. It comes out looking amazing. But that's another cool looking way to do it.
Another fantastic piece. Loving these videos man.
Really great stuff. Beautiful work as per usual.
I don't even paint minis or play war games but damn I love your videos. I've watched just about all of them and they are inspirational.
Thanks, that means a lot! I’m very glad you are enjoying the content even though you don’t paint, pretty cool to have outside perspective on the hobby :)
Amazing video, great explanations on blending flesh tones and glazing, awesome work! Keep it up!
Jeez, that looks great!
The spotting you're getting is from the airbrush itself, not the paint over black. I bet you're using a Master's brush. It's notorious for splattering. You could thin your paint a bit, or increase the air pressure a bit to avoid spattering, nice model man! Great rescue.
Also for everyone, the mephiston red he used was a layer not a glaze. A glaze should be so faint that you can't even really see the paint, but a tint to the base colour. He's layering here in true fashion.
This is very impressive!!!!
Another fantastic model. I might have some stuff to send you that I just won't get around to painting. I'll try and dig it out of the closet.
Thank you! I always appreciate the support :)
brilliant mate
Great build, great painting and a great mini. Thank you Blake for this. Next up: An Arachnaroc?
Thanks!
I’d love to get one of those...prices went up since the new releases for goblins, I’m always on the lookout though :)
@@eBayMiniatureRescues Well, that makes two of us. I really want to get a second one. It seems to me that it is a great model to practice my airbrush skills. I haven't even got it working yet.
TH-camr question: are you using audio ducking in your editor during voice over parts? Or just manually adjusting music volume?
I use premiere pro’s ducking feature, it’s 80% accurate, still have to adjust a few parts, but it’s a huge time saver!! Btw, love your channel man, I’m subbed on my regular account, just subbed on this one :)
I’m also adjusting the volume of each song to only hit -29 dB on ducking, -19 on full volume, vocals around -9 while the music is ducked, seems to be the sweet spot for me, I’ve had issues in the past lol.
eBay Miniature Rescues cool, thank you (and thanks for the kind words!). I haven't tried using ducking but I may take a stab at it. It works great in your videos.
Nice paint job, and I like the basework you did :)
I tried a little more this time, not enough to commit to video...but more than normal :)
When you talked about how pigs are pink, I expected a pinky from Doom ^^. Thank god this is not the case !
Anyway, thanks Blake.
I was like number 666!!! Great job as usual man.
THE GREAT KHORNE GIRAFFE HAS FINALY ARRIVED
This looks like a mongolian (fantasy ogre style) deamon. Nice job!
Archaon Lord of End Times I know what you mean...very Vajrayana..like an Acala or Vajra bhaivara. 🙏🏽
Excellent
Great project again! I really like the blending washes technique, that takes some practice I guess
Thanks!
It takes a little bit of practice, but if you have a pretty easy to see color separation on the model then as long as you stick to those areas and blend lightly where they meet, you should end up with a pretty nice blend overall.
It's not hard at all, you just need to work them in while they're still wet. Washes have a decent working time for this
Epic man😊
very nice job :)
Thanks Blake :))
your a very talented man
The mini looks great and far better than I could have ever done. I love the hair bits that were added to it. What exactly were the “official” bits that you used?

Sould get + 2 attacks with the moustache. 😂
😂 absolutely!

Haha currant buns, now I won’t unsee that!
I’m glad you liked the colors :)
Tbh, if there was any allegiance that would benefit from it, it would be Khorne
What he says when he has to leave in A hurry: Sorry, moustache!
Awesome paint job! Curious how you did the basing, it really complement the overall looks
Thanks!

Great work. I've been trying to decide how to paint up some black armor on some Space Marines for Kill Team. I've been watching videos trying to get ideas. I'd love to hear or see what you'd do with them.
Do you plan to incorporate Contrast into your painting Casey? Or not something that would be interesting to you?
I plan on doing some videos about it when I get some. I’ve got the set coming pretty soon :)
Looks straight out of Japanese mythology
Korgorath sure spends a lot of time at the gym, hairstylist and playing with body paint/makeup before battle. I am sure he has tons of tips, should probably become a life coach as alternative career, much less hazardous than wargaming.
Lol exactly how I pictured him :)
Do you keep the rescued minis? That’s pretty cool if you do. People sending you free minis to paint is very nice of them. If you don’t keep them, how much do you charge?
There are a lot of very very generous subscribers that let me keep some of the minis. I charge $15/hour for commissions otherwise :)
eBay Miniature Rescues that’s cool and you are very talented. I recently got into Star Wars armada and didn’t realize that the squadrons that are in the game aren’t painted.

Wow, that khorgarath has some serious Hank Hill ass. Looking like a frog stood up
Lol yeah, it’s a weird sculpting decision, I suppose if they put a little more beef on it, it would have stood out even more.
love your work keep it up, so what happens to the models after your done? do they go back to the person that sent it?
It depends. I do commissions, so if someone is going that route then I send it back. Most of the models on the channel are either ones I have found on eBay or have been kindly donated to the cause :)
Mate, still a big fan of your playlists. Could you also put the playtimes (from min:sec till min:sec) in your discrption? Would be great. Thx. CU
Glad you are enjoying the tunes :) I’ll see what I can do, I can’t promise anything, but I might be able to get some numbers in there.
"I know this is overkill." Dude.. warhammer 40k IS ALL OVERKILL! XD
😂 good point
Lovin’ the painting dude. Was hoping for some branching out into other 40k factions such as Tau or Eldar
Thanks!
No worries, there will be more 40k :)
eBay Miniature Rescues speaking of which I actually have a lot of old half painted eldar and tau. I don’t play anymore. Free if you’re interested.
The rarer Tashgorath!
wish i was 1/10th as good with paint as u are -.- i love miniatures, i built and posed almost a full Spacemarine army and severa groups of Chaos and Ork groups to have baddies for my "panorama" i had planed out in my head, but the painting.. im just not able to get into it sadly =(

That is some cool looking filthy heretic.
M8 another good modle just fishing around for some modles for you do you like big ones or like a squad
when i saw the red hair my first thought was calamity ganon
Getting some ganandorf vibes from this guy.
Bad ass🤘🏻🤘🏻
Through some investigation, I think you got the hair from the vermin lord, but I'm not sure about the mustache?
Yeah, the hair is verminlord, I wanted to use the head too, but it was a bit much, the mustache was from the same kit, part of some hair piece that hangs down. Good eye :)
Saving and improving upon a daemon, looks like heresy to me. Someone should inform the temple of sigmar.
😂
Your videos are an auto like from me
Thank you :)
Cool video as always, also fourth
I wish GW had a more dynamic Khorgorath sculpt.
Yeah, it seems like you kind of have to cut him up to get something nicer. But as a body, the model is super useful for all sorts of conversions!
What kinda air brush you use?
Sotar 20/20 currently
How long does the whole paint job take?
I’d say this took me just under 5 hours, somewhere in there, that’s about how much video I had before editing :)
Stunning work!
Wtf no screaming bell????
🤫
Yes bouye
he looks like a bullymong from borderlands lmao
BOOO no Dark Eldar:]
No worries! I’m still going to be painting the minis that we’re in the choice video, just in the order they were voted for :)
DAT ASS !
😆
The single most ugly design from the AoS starter set. I hate this model with passion.
It’s not the best sculpt, although I’ve seen it used for some fantastic conversions, cut the head and hands off, you’ve got a good body to work from.
eBay Miniature Rescues i got the idea they are coming from but still. Once i seen it i just left it. I like all the models in AoS starter but this one was just nope for me.
Good painting, pity it's one of ugliest models produced by Citadel in all times
