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
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....
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
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
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.
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!
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!
That looks so cool! 😊 I've painted both smaller & larger figures and it really depends. I'm working my way through a lot of Steamforged Games' Epic Encounters sets (we're a D&D household, not a Warhammer one). I had more fun painting the Shrine of the Kobold Queen set than the accompanying Lair of the Red Dragon. The red dragon was really cool, and I love how the loot pile turned out in particular, but it was a pain in the butt to paint. I have at least one literal scar from being scratched by a wing. The set of 20 kobolds on the other hand were just adorable, such evil red Smurf energy everywhere. On the other hand, I struggled to paint the Village of the Goblin Chief set while the Swamp of the Hydra was a lot of fun. The hydra had so many details that were fun & I added a bunch of stuff to the base (I entered it in the Arcadian Brush competition at PAX Unplugged. It didn't win but it was fun because a lot of people commented that they love hydras, liked what I did with it, etc). The set of about 20 goblins was a slog, except for the flail snail which was just too cute. I appreciated the humor of the berserker goblins who were running into battle while licking frogs to get high, but even those kind of drove me nuts. If someone handed me a really cool large figure, I would 100% dive in. 😊
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.
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
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 🤣
Jon, could you please paint something from Daybreak Miniatures, Dragon Trappers lodge, White Werewolf Tavern or Archvillain Games. I have bought many of their amazing models in 55mm and 75mm, like Alice the Maniac, Turtle-Folk Fungus Warrior, Shadowblade Assassin and Niel the elf warrior. Niel is a magnificent model and only cost me AU$25 for a 75mm model with a gorgeous big base. Etsy is such good value for money if you buy from a local store. Thanks Sensei. 🙏🏻
In fact, the busts from Daybreak Miniatures are incredible! They're usually 75mm too so pretty big with huge amounts of detail and a nice plinth. For A$25 each from an Aussie seller they feel like very good value to me. I highly recommend them.
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.
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!
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.
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 🤟
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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 :)
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.
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
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
I haven't painted anything large yet but I've been planning to soon. One question: where do you get those copper corner weights for your wet palette? I can't remember if I saw it in a previous gear vid you did, but I can't find it in the links in the description, and I might be searching the wrong terms but I'm not finding it easy elsewhere either.
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.
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.
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.
I want to try a large piece so bad! I’ve been looking into the 72mm Baldur’s Gate pieces floating around on Etsy. I’d love a challenge suggestion that I can study and document my progress.
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. 😅
Don't forget to check out the Objective Ctrl Kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/objectivectrl/precision-miniature-magnets-thematic-game-aids
You can see just how much your work has improved over the years and your work was great already
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!!
You are very friendly and teacher friendly,great job😊
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
the moment you said "sad clown" I couldn't unsee it. amazingly painted sad clown though
My parents aren’t mad about my warhammer collection…but my wife is.
Your wife is made of Warhammer minis?!
@@karlthemadscientist6295 no you idiot, shes a made woman like in the mafia
Never told my wife how much money I spend on my hobby. 😊
Same but she knows I work hard .
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....
My goodness that looks incredible. Especially the environment of the piece, imo. wow.
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

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*.
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!

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

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.
Absolutely love the texturing and color tones on the shoulders and around the neck. Fantastic work!
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
It's a joy to watch you really get to play with this larger scale model!!! and what a beautiful paint job!
Thanks!
Thank you Cindy!

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.
AWESOME! Funnily enough I have just started working on busts. I just needed a break from the smaller stuff.
I feel like an idiot for never thinking of UV resin to fill gaps in miniatures.
It's kind of genius...
I literally just started painting my first large scale model two days ago. Wild timing on this video! I'm painting Miniac's Duchess!
I really like these types of videos. I have enjoyed trying out this style of painting ever since you did that Samurai rabbit.
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!
Another amazing video! Another amazing paintjob!
I would love to see more videos that like painting big models. Keep making these!
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.
This is great. The subtle stage lighting on the pillars is my favourite bit.
That highlight worked out beautifully in that piece, nice job
Dude, what an awesome paint job! I love it! Thanks for sharing! I always enjoy watching your videos!
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(
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 🤟
This is a beautiful paintjob, we see really well the intentions you put in your painting.
It's so beautiful and a brilliant piece of artwork!
Everytime I see one of your paints, I think to myself: fuck this guy is good.

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

1:26 did not know that Brom did the Diablo II cover! Man, that game had its hooks in me.
Nice to see a display mini on the channel!
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
sick paintjob. Good job, Jon
you really nailed the atmosphere of the original art, nice job.
Have you ever been to the MMSI-military miniatures society of Tllinois?they have a growing minis category,it is every October
Excellent video as always.

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

Another great video. Would love a video on your post painting , how you do your photo shoot pictures. Thanks.
I frigging love Brom artwork; these are stunning sculpts. I never do Kickstarters but might have to check this one out.
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
Would really appreciate if you'd speak more about recipes for color mixing.
When you said Large Model. I was hoping for a 1/6th scale - But you still did an amazing job with this! Kudos !!!!
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!
Definitely more. Always remember that Lincoln could have sent a fax to his samurai friends via the pony express
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
I would love to see you take on a 1/8th or 1/4 scale model sometime!
What are those metal things in the wet palette and where can I pick those up?
That paint job looks awesome
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.
You should do another big sculpture but with a random card from the color cube.
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.
Amazing job on this one mate, love it!👏👏👏
I've got 2 75mm models that intimidate me. I've set them on my shelf and look forward to painting them... One day.
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
What an amazing interpretation!!! 👏🏽
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.
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.
Damn. Nice job Jon.
Incredible work
I haven't painted anything large yet but I've been planning to soon.
One question: where do you get those copper corner weights for your wet palette? I can't remember if I saw it in a previous gear vid you did, but I can't find it in the links in the description, and I might be searching the wrong terms but I'm not finding it easy elsewhere either.
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.
Which UV light do you recommend to cure the resin?
You might have answered this before but where did you get your lighted display shelves. Those are sick.
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.
Was that skull bowl on top of the desk a Trevor Foster piece?
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.

Looks amazing. Did you paint the back?
I never have painted larger than 32mm or 1/48 scale. This model reminds me of "Mien Hertz Brennt" by Rammstiem
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 😂
I've had a nice Predator bust primed on my desk for about a year... Guilty...
This is bloody incredible
I really enjoyed painting Magnus the Red compared to the smaller stuff.
Beautiful rendition of the figure
54mm or 75mm I find quite comfortable a transition from smaller models. I found painting a bust much more difficult and way less satisfying.
This sad clown turned out absolutely amazing Jonny Boi!!!
I have never painted a large scale model. I have some that I've always wanted to paint. But I've always been too afraid to try.
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.
Okay but what did you think about the paints?
14:29 I feel like Sam would have a good time wetblending with thicker paints like these.
I want to try a large piece so bad! I’ve been looking into the 72mm Baldur’s Gate pieces floating around on Etsy. I’d love a challenge suggestion that I can study and document my progress.
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. 😅
