I’m not sure why this is in my recommended as I don’t do warhammer, but I wanted to take this time to say I’m 100% impressed with people who can paint these things, it’s quite amazing what they can do
@@Equalsundew Join the people that hate seeing money in their wallets. its easy. Buy somemodels and paint. Got into warhammer by accident. Needed minis for a d&d campaign bought an age of sigmar box and now im hooked.
"3 hours built primed and painted" And here I am, thinking that taking 2.5 hours to get my 5 Grey Knight Interceptors posed right was an accomplishment
Interceptors are a challenge of their own depending in if you use the clear flyer stick or another means. Tho his knight pauldron hanging armor plate things are stiff and not flowing with the posture of the knight. Its the little things
Watching this with my 5 year old son, he wants to start playing. Then as soon as you revealed the finished Knight my 4 year old daughter shouted "OMG it's so beautiful" now she wants to start playing lol. In a few years when they're able to make them and play I'm gonna go broke.
A SLA (resin) 3D printer would go far. Initial investment is high (~$400 USD for a small 6.23" printer + wash/cure station), but one bottle (1kg, $25) of resin got me proxies of 4 combat patrols, 2 additional kill teams, an ork battlewagon, and a few decent sized terrain pieces.
Just wait til their older to bring them to warhammer nights. Idk if it’s universal but the local ones are all guys in their 20’s pounding alcohol, swearing, and explaining lore while they play. Not exactly a great place for kids
@@scottretford1074 keep in mind that MSLA requires a lot of aftercare (cleaning, curing, sealing) and protective equipment, ventilation and safe storage of gnarly chems. Not sure how i'd tackle that with kids around.
The old knight looks like an actual miniaturised machine, the new one looks like an art project if that makes sense :) I myself prefer the less color popping, less obvious edge highlighting grim-real look. Both are great works!
the moment where he repeatedly said "this is so cooolll" I FELT THAT this was so wholesome and these moments are what i love about building and painting
Some tips for Oyumaru. It works best when you let the silicone sit in properly boiling water for a time. It'll become extremely soft and you can cast really great detail with it. Second is using Miliput to capture the detail. It's softer, and has a much finer grit that Green stuff. Either way, The work you did looks awesome.
This year I bought and magnetized a knight preceptor that I call “The Baron.” With school and sports eating into my free time, it took me 3 months to finish him. He’s one of my favorite models and easily my largest project.
Im honestly wondering if I can some how fudge a knight themed around my carcharodons army well into the army. (Yes carcharodons there different and will stand out a bit. Plus I love how overly edgy there lore is) I probably can I'm already gonna fudge some grey knights models into it as like chapter master body guards purely a cool looking fluff project. (I got some old ones like so old the box still has bolt gun metal as a paint suggestion on it for dirt cheap $33.00)
He’s right though,he said “one of the biggest models you can get” Tell me how many Models there are in 40k Scale that are bigger than that Knight, even including stuff on the Epic Scale and Adeptus Titanicus that are still being sold from GW. I guarantee it’s not a very long list, at most I’ll guess and say it’s perhaps around 80 individual Models.
this gives me nostalgia feels , i was always afraid of green stuff and trying to do my own things plus i did it in my room and at one point my parents told me to "go paint outside jesus christ the whole flat smells like the ghetto!" 20years ago , nowadays im clean but still from time to time admire great paintjobs and creativity reliving it through the eyes of others. i admire your commitment to this craft , it is definately NOT for children (debatable) and quite pricey , but god damn if it isn´t one of the most entertaining accomplishing hobbies there is.
From experience: UV resin with oyumaru will most likely cause issues, as it releases heat while curing, which will likely soften it and lose shape or detail. I used it once for some buttons and it was a mess.
I love how by simply messing around in a challenge you may have accidentally painted one of your best looking models yet. I'm sure an hour or two of cleanup after sleep would almost make it competition worthy.
The castellan actually also looks a little smaller if you put it next to the knight. Like visually, because there are more small surfaces. It looks way bigger in photos, but IRL, it looks not that big.
Dude why do you have so few subscribers? You should have at least +200K with this awesome content! Some of the best paintjob I have seen in TH-cam and you are hella creative.
I can feel the “taking awhile to get anywhere” feeling about building a large kit. I spent so long trying to get the Baneblade skirts right, once they were done it was a breeze
My first model that felt like a big project like that was definately the Riptide Battlesuit. Just sat there in the living room on a folding nightstand for hours on end just trying to put it together after having only done Fire Warriors and Crisis Suits.
14:35 That's is exactly how I ended up using TAP Speedpaints :D Black primer + light grey zenithal, and one to 2 thin coats of Speedpaints and, BOOM ! Nice piece of work done fast :) Painted around 30models in less than a week with this technique (and I'm not a full-time painter, only painting when I have the time^^) :) Great Job !
This lovely result has inspired me. I have an action-man sized necron, and some space marines on motorbikes to do. So I have a few speed paints on order and I'm gonna use your preshade and glaze technique, but I'll be stippling as I have no airbrush. It's cool how people are using these "contrast paints" in ways it doesn't seem GW thought of - it's also cool you can now get "contrast paints" for less than 7 quid a pot! 😉
Unironically, the two best starter armies are Knights and Custodes, primarily from a build and paint perspective. A knight is two things: A metal body and panels that you can spray paint. Custodes need a gold spray and res on the tassels. Then it’s a matter of washes and a bit of trim, and you’re done - Guaranteed to look better than the paint caked metal minis that a lot of us started out with :)
I actually think the Castellan is the best knight. Everything you mentioned has rules for the Tabletop, like the two generators make exploding more likely and more devastating
Sure but for me the silhoutte of the shoulders look terribly silly. As Jay said, it looks like a 10-year-old was given the task of making it more badass.
As someone who just finished painting a Chaos Knight Desecrator over the course of about 4 or 5 days at 3 or 4 hours a night. I am very impressed with this video and the amount of skill you have as a hobbiest Knights are no joke and wonderful painting projects in their own right. I will disagree on one thing though, I quite like the Knight Castellan and Knight Valiants for the Imperial Knights line, but that is just my opinion. I think they look pretty slick.
Just found your content and i love how you commentate! You sound super wholesome and friendly, the easy to follow almost tutorial like style of content is perfect for me. Subbed for sure!
honestly...i prefer the old knight you painted more. All this oversaturation and high contrast thats in vogue lately is too jarring for my taste. The old one looked more realistic to me. Great work regardless
Ordered Cobalt Keep bases for Knightly pile of shame that I swore to tackle with the upcoming codex, they arrived today and I am super Impressed. Thanks for featuring them!
*gets one of the nicest and most expensive Games Workshop models* Alright guys I'm only going to paint this for one day! Wait, nevermind. The dog helped too.
I have commission painted dozens of Knights, for me the trick is definitely getting into a routine, I don't have to look at the instructions anymore so that saves time, I set myself a 1 sitting deadline for a Questoris or Dominus, my Cerastus and Acastus took a lot longer due to the amount of clean up and additional work needed with resin. . For Armigers I try to get 3 done per sitting. . I recently retired from comission work as it was spoiling my enjoyment of painting for myself. . I have over 100 imperial knights left paint in my collection so I have turned it into basically a production line. . I magnatize all the heads, shields and weapons so its easy to convert, swap out parts and add bits of extra details later.
Nice, it’s just the details like the heraldry to go. With the two Questoris knights you’re only a single unit away from a fieldable army now. Just some armigers would get you there and they are still awesome fun to paint.
Great work! I took 3 days to build mine but the longest working session was about 8 hours on day 1. Plus - I started feeling sick on day 3 from all the plastic dust and glue fumes. And at the last moment I realized that I don't have the right magnets for the arms so it took 2 more days to get and mount those. Right now it stands on my shelf ready for painting. As I don't use the airbrush I expect it to be a week long painting session.
I like both the night designs it’s cool to think of the different machine spirits and the different people who made the titans it gives different ones more personality they could be of an off branch that was heavy on artillery or the other ones could be a lighter artillery titan so they can move better they have different uses with having different designs of the same titans also amazing paint job!
Happy I found this channel (thanks algorithm!), your videos are top quality, great production value, narration and content. Definitely sticking around.
Fan theory, a couple of Ork Mekboys suffered head trauma and started to believe they were humans and so somehow they made it onto the design team for the Knight Castellan, they may have believed they were human enough to fool the other humans (or they didn’t want to argue with the seemingly friendly Orks) but they are still Orks so when discussing what weapons platforms they needed all they could think of was just add more shooty things because more shootas is always good.
This was really fascinating! I’m pretty new been painting for about a year and I take my time. 50+ hour a model. I really enjoy the process and it’s good for my anxiety. Love listening to podcasts and lore while I enjoy it
If you want better results from GS push molds you may want start with a ball that you squish, so that the putty is squishing towards the side. If you just squish down you can trap air.
idk if this is a stupid idea, but I have some potential lore as to why it looks Slaaneshi, The ship carrying it (any loyalist chapter) was going thru the warp when the Gellar field has a little blip. The metal absorbs the color of the purplish pink warp section they were going thru, and comes out on the other side looking like this.
This is really awesome! Love the paint job and some extra parts on the shoulder pads. Would love to see a knight which looks like a real "Veteran" - a Freeblade like he had been battling for literally 10 thousand years like bullet marks, explosion marks, cuts, dents, bludgeon marks, scratched paints, etc... or even repaired or replaced parts and badges of honor. How epic it would look like. I really appreciate your content and more power to your channel.
If you can get the UV cure resin to work with the thermal mold PLEASE let me know what mold release works for you! I have had no luck with that yet and I really want to put LED's inside a clear uv resin piece for my plasma guns :)
can we get a video or demonstration for that quick metallic paint for the knight? I'm new to this whole painting models and would love to see that step in more depth
From 4:33 to 4:43, it looks like a collection of the world’s worst homemade dental retainers 😆 As always though, great video Jay! Beautiful work too- thanks for the inspiration.
The comparison of new knight to Vader with two sabers and two sets of buttons had me rolling. The new knight looks like even the team couldn't stand it and made the 40K equivalent to a googly eye faced robot.
As someone who recently bought an Airbrush, it definitely doesn’t replace Traditional painting, but what it does, you can’t do with anything else. It’s wonderful for getting a beautiful coat including a highlight, but you’ll still need to get in there with the brush later on.
An Airbrush is a tool, not the be-all-end-all solution. It speeds up the process on stuff like basecoating and priming (you also not depending on the weather anymore regarding the latter). But certain things like details are not suitable for it. You can't brush the trim of the knight with it for example because it is not precise enough for it (you can try but you will become insane). It also helps with the more difficult colours like yellow or white, because they are usually quite difficult to paint with a brush and get a smooth result.
like what everyone else said, it doesnt replace it. I mainly use mine for priming, base coats. I highly recommend getting the badger 105 due to them being low cost and very good
Honestly the Mechanicum Knight looks better in my opinion, but I can see where your coming from. I just love the dark and less saturated colors of it. It makes it look like it has seen some battles.
I added the chaos knight chainsword to my Castellan - looks super awesome in the Tyranid / Marine display shelf I created. I also added the Daredeo Dreadnought Boreas missiles (Forgeworld) to the top centre weapon - so it fills it all out better.
Cudos for the extra flags. I have a recommendation though. You can also use hardware store repair putty. It cures much faster and is way harder afterwards. Yet they are different in the amount of detail they are able to reproduce. You just have to experiment with this. I cloned weapons, arms and heads from this stuff with double press molds. Works fine, when you get the hang of it.
I’m not sure why this is in my recommended as I don’t do warhammer, but I wanted to take this time to say I’m 100% impressed with people who can paint these things, it’s quite amazing what they can do
same over here XD it just popped up

To be fair to the knight castellan, adding more of everything without considering the ramifications is exactly how the Imperium operates
Tbf tho they don’t look like they are just strapped on the look as if they would cover blind spots and add to it I kinda like the castellan

"3 hours built primed and painted"
And here I am, thinking that taking 2.5 hours to get my 5 Grey Knight Interceptors posed right was an accomplishment
You can paint a Knight in under 24 hours but will you be satisfied with the paint job is the question.
Interceptors are a challenge of their own depending in if you use the clear flyer stick or another means. Tho his knight pauldron hanging armor plate things are stiff and not flowing with the posture of the knight. Its the little things
Still is imo, only by the grace of the man-emperor can someone be a determined as that
Posed right = accomplishment! ❤️
Took me 2 hours to build my first modela simplish 40mm tank in WW3 Team yankee...

For me I want my knight to be the centerpiece and really extravagant due to the lore for my army
For a second I was like “nah, tinting ain’t it” but that purple actually has a kind of worn and bleached look that I really like. Kudos.

Yes, I have visions of a Knight alongside my Thousand Sons. An ancient war machine named Anubis. Original? Probably not. Cool? Most definitely.
@@FIRSTNAMELASTNAME-zt4kf I'm sure you could make a mega shark themed one, or even something like a Jaeger
Where was that announced? I must have missed that.
I wish I would find knight cool but they look too wonky for me. hard imagine them walking
I have to agree that knights make a great addition to a collection because after I built and painted mine I've been very proud of it
The color scheme makes me think of stained glass, fitting in real well with the medieval vibe that the Knights have
new guy here. don't know if someone has commented that ever but the music you use in your vids is really cool. love the synthpop/wave feel to it.

From experience: UV resin with oyumaru will most likely cause issues, as it releases heat while curing, which will likely soften it and lose shape or detail. I used it once for some buttons and it was a mess.
Maybe multiple thin layers to keep the heat down.
killed it on this, This must required so much energy - the plates hanging from the shoulders are dope
Poor pilot model doesn't even get mentioned.
Those banners on the shoulders look amazing, really gives the knight something extra.

Great Job !
My biggest complaint about the knight is the knees not bending. It's always just so wonky looking if you want it to look like it's in motion.
if you're willing to shell out the money, Forge World's Cerastus Knights are super poseable, right down to the toes and pistons.
This lovely result has inspired me. I have an action-man sized necron, and some space marines on motorbikes to do. So I have a few speed paints on order and I'm gonna use your preshade and glaze technique, but I'll be stippling as I have no airbrush.

The comparison of new knight to Vader with two sabers and two sets of buttons had me rolling. The new knight looks like even the team couldn't stand it and made the 40K equivalent to a googly eye faced robot.
That paint scheme is beautiful. Great job once again, jay.
Hey, love the vid! Im considering buying an airbrush but would you recommend it over "traditional painting"?
As someone who recently bought an Airbrush, it definitely doesn’t replace Traditional painting, but what it does, you can’t do with anything else.
It’s wonderful for getting a beautiful coat including a highlight, but you’ll still need to get in there with the brush later on.
An Airbrush is a tool, not the be-all-end-all solution. It speeds up the process on stuff like basecoating and priming (you also not depending on the weather anymore regarding the latter). But certain things like details are not suitable for it. You can't brush the trim of the knight with it for example because it is not precise enough for it (you can try but you will become insane).
It also helps with the more difficult colours like yellow or white, because they are usually quite difficult to paint with a brush and get a smooth result.
like what everyone else said, it doesnt replace it. I mainly use mine for priming, base coats. I highly recommend getting the badger 105 due to them being low cost and very good
Honestly the Mechanicum Knight looks better in my opinion, but I can see where your coming from. I just love the dark and less saturated colors of it. It makes it look like it has seen some battles.
I barely know about this hobby, but 1) stuff looks sick
And 2) the pink purple one reminds me of tusk act 4 lmao
I added the chaos knight chainsword to my Castellan - looks super awesome in the Tyranid / Marine display shelf I created. I also added the Daredeo Dreadnought Boreas missiles (Forgeworld) to the top centre weapon - so it fills it all out better.
Cudos for the extra flags. I have a recommendation though. You can also use hardware store repair putty. It cures much faster and is way harder afterwards. Yet they are different in the amount of detail they are able to reproduce. You just have to experiment with this. I cloned weapons, arms and heads from this stuff with double press molds. Works fine, when you get the hang of it.
