Well took three years. I have now built primed and base coated the knight I promised my fiancé (who bought me the kit a few days after this came out) I would complete when I had learned enough and practiced enough for me to be happy with my work. Thank you Miniac. A real journey !
At the beginning I kept thinking....did this guy actually score a voice over from Cate Blanchett? Dude seriously the person you got to do the VO work is incredible. Oh and the mini looks good too and stuff lol.
The amount that I've been BINGING you and Scott the past week or so, my list of ideas is exploding and so is my shopping list of supplies. I love seeing you guys encouraging each other. And I mean BINGING, too. Like 8 or more hours of content a day just between your two channels.
Just got my first Knight. I had no fear when I bought him. Now, things are different... Fortunately, facing fear leads to greatness. Thanks for showing me the way :)
I found that added a gloss coat helped immensely for both adding decals, and oil washes. The oil wash applied through an airbrush is called a filter, at least in model railroading terms. ^_^
7 months on and I still keep coming back to this. Not just for the advice when I do my own but because of the production quality and just how damn interesting/entertaining it is
This captured the anxiety of a casual commission painter, so fking well. They pile up until you feel like you’re drowning. To witness you crawl out from that pit and walk free is truly inspiring. Thank you for this glimpse of hope!
There are many painting tutorials on youtube - but your videos go beyond that. They are art, entertainment. Not the relaxing start painting usually has, but exciting. Most painters draw my attention because of their detailed depiction of techniques, some because of the calm atmosphere they create... I watch Miniac to see what the heck the video starts with (and to scream at the end). It gets me pumped and excited and sometimes this is exactly what I need to grab my tools and some models. Piece of advice: use scalpels after the exciting intro is through...
This is so good im actually trying to find a fault in the paint job, but cant, at every angle, at every aspect, perfection, this is a new top notch standard for all the rest of us to try and achieve and strive for. A masterpiece. Like the Omega particle in ST.
Miniac - Here is a new, magnetic painting handle I'm using.... 25:26 - Miniac is making sure that painting handle stays 'fingerprint free' by holding the model he's painting.
This is seriously the best produced miniature related video on the planet. There are so many things I wanna say about this video, but I’m gonna just sum it up with one word: EPIC!
I love how well this video has been made, I always have it in the background when I paint, and has inspired me to spend my 14th bday money to make a knight of my own! Thanks Scott!
I feel like I should close my channel, there is just no way I can get anywhere near this level of professional video production. I feel like I'm watching something on Netflix! Awesome work on that knight too, I just love that conversion work.
Thank you so much, Zack! And Scott RUN FREE!!! A previously trapped feral Scott released into the wild after years of self-indentured servitude, we love to see it!
Hey Scott, Just wanted to thank you and John for the videos and podcast! It has helped me get through a tremendously hard year of non stop work and not much to look forward to. I watch your videos as soon as I possibly can and have even got involved with Kingdom Death models as a side hobby. I wish you all the best and I hope you keep doing what you do!
I know this video is almost a year old now but I just happened to catch it today. I'm mostly into Star Trek and Star Wars ship modeling but I've watched a lot of TH-cam modeling and painting videos and this is probably the most impressive work I've ever seen. Well done, sir. You are absolutely right to be proud of this.
I headbutted that subscribe button so hard they felt it 28,000 years in the future on Mars! Oh wait... did I just cause the Death of Innocence? MINIS!!!!
Holy shit that lotr style intro was friggin‘ good! The shots, the edits, the Galadriel voice of the narrator - awesome! And yes yes, the rest of the video was freaking awesome too but dat intro tho
Damn! When I heard your Renegade Knight Tales on the podcast I didn't think you were working on such a huge video! You're goddamn right I'm getting popcorn. pause the video I'll brb edit: aight back. I've got my 2l Dr Pepper and popcorn. Entertain me scott.
As someone who bought a 30€ Ultramarine beginner kit last week to try this hobby out... You channel is both discouraging and awe inspiring as heck. What a journey this video has been. Greetings from France.
From the epic LotR style opener right to the end with the human condition and reality of the situation I was hooked. Really nice to see such an awesome piece of your work get such an awesome video to show not only it off but the work that went into it. I'm sure with the planning, build, paint, filming, editing and audio this took hundreds of hours and all I can say is, worth it. So very worth it. Awesome stuff as always!
A couple of tips for decals: They go down really well over a gloss surface, even for a matte finish, a common practice being to lay down a gloss coat or three before decaling, another coat before washes, then a few flat coats to flatten it down. Second, never, ever, EVER use Micro-set and Micro-sol with Tamiya decals, they really don't agree (I'm speaking from experience as an aircraft model-maker).
when you talked about slowing down, so to do a better production; this is what I had hoped for. I really hope you're keeping it both methodical and fun for you and the misses. You guys are awesome.
Fuuuuuuuu- is right, Scott. Not because of the chest scroll, but because this is EPIC in every way. Whoa! Whoa!! WHOA!!! So impressive. The age of Miniac is upon us!
I know you say that you won't ever do any more of these Commission Videos but I really love watching you paint and do your thing! It would be amazing to see more of these in the new MINIAC GOLDEN AGE!
Beside your amazing ideas and creativity... you are one of the best youtubers, when it comes to video editing and all the storytelling around your content! So inspiring!
Just watched this video again in it's entirety and it just blows my mind. I don't paint minis but the effort and level of craft that @Miniac put into this is transcendent. Not to mention the great editing and narration. Dude has the whole package... ;)
You can tell miniac had more fun with this video, it really sounds like whatever pressure was was going with him is easing off. When he has fun, I have fun watching. Great video!
Wow. This is the best painting video I have seen, and I have seen a few. The epic opening blew my mind with fantastic storytelling and composition. I can't wait to see your big screen debut.
I can't praise your videos enough. These are really inspirational in number of ways - painting miniatures, forming a community for people with like minded hobbies, pursuing things you love. I'm glad you're getting to a point where you can focus less on projects that drain you and more on what ya love. Also, just joined Patreon! I'm Scotty, the dumpster fire tornado enthusiast. Cheers!
That's awesome you mentioned PLASMO, I've been a fan of his for a long time, he does excellent scale modeling work. I really enjoyed watching you combine scale modeling techniques into these minis.
This is like 'the last supper' of mini painting. Freaking masterwork. Also, I love that you narrate your videos with both insight and honesty. Cheers to a great video!
Scott another great vid , I wish I had more money to do patron for you and as soon as I can get back to work I plan on doing just that. I hurt my back and am restricted to the floor, I'm now a rug. Being in this state now for 3 months waiting for surgery. I have been out of the hobby for over 20 years, so I needed to see what was new and changes to the hobby, and that lead me to finding you. Your insight and how you go over the subjects that you cover is excellent. Just wanted to say thank you for all you do your editing alone must be exhausting, with that being said your pride in your work shows. Best wishes and stay safe.
Absolutely beautiful. I stumbled upon this channel by accident and this video alone was enough to convince me to subscribe. Back when I used to collect 40k miniatures, the worst part to me was always the painting cos I've got stubby fingers. But with this, I feel encouraged to do so again and give it another shot. Molto Bene.
Just a tip. You can make laser burn holes in the models with a soldering iron with a small tip. Just get it hot push it through and it will cut the hole while making a "melty" ridge along the outer surface giving it more depth.
I am so glad you did this!!! My friend has an Adeptus Mechanicus Knight he has been working on for a while and since he has gotten it, I have been wishing you would do a video like this!!! This looks freaking epic and you should be dang proud!!
As a painter who's starting to claw at the ceiling to get into intermediate painting (at least that's what I think).. this video makes me feel both excited and, admittedly, daunted to paint my newly purchased Knight Desecrator (edgelord spikey boys). This video gives me some great ideas I would have otherwise not thought of. I already knew I wanted it to look like a war machine that's clearly seen battle many a time before, but give it a corrupted, salvaged, and Nurgle-y look. I need to expand my horizons and experiment with green stuff and I think the knight will be a perfect model to experiment with. Large tentacles, fleshy blobs, and the like. Good for introductory green stuff molding since it'll be larger sculpts that don't require a huge amount of intricate detail. Hopefully.. Hopefully.
As a suggestion for the brass shaping, you could try using jewelry pliars. They have no teeth and you can roll the brass around them to create a fabric-like wave a bit more easily than using your fingers. Love your work!
Just finished the video……..standing ovation. That knight is hands down the dopest dope. You gave a ton of ideas and stuff I haven’t thought of. Thank you!

Yo, who'd you get to do the Galadriel voice? She did great.
I'm glad you caught what I was going for! Her name is Regan Brown and she was awesome.
Honestly I was debating if you did hire Cate Blanchett on Cameo or something hahaha
@@Miniac Yeah, it was great! It also sounded like the intro to Ralph Bakshi's Wizards.
@@Miniac She did an amazing job. Couldn't tell it wasn't Cate Blanchett it was that spot on. Like Val Kilmer playing Jim Morrison spot on.

2 minutes in and I honestly thought for a second you might have actualy scored Cate Blanchett to rehash her LotR voice over bit ;) touche, good Sir.
I got strong Dark Souls vibes too.
Same. I was like, what? How did he..
This captured the anxiety of a casual commission painter, so fking well. They pile up until you feel like you’re drowning.

YESSS

Greetings from France.
You totally said "Easter Legs" 😂
Most mini-painters go over-the-top with shading & shadows. It's refreshing to see more subtle color changes.
For a second I thought this was an Ork Knight. Can you imagine the Orks capturing a Knight and just remodelling it to appease Gork and Mork?
Every kit is an ork kit
I did this a few months ago! This exact model as well. You can probably still find it on reddit.
So many awesome things going on in this video. That intro, the panning shots, and a beautiful converted miniature at the end of it all.
ITS FINALLY HERE!!!
The ASMR is real with this narration. I love it.
Mate you are doing an amazing work! And your "teaching skills" are awesome, I've learned so much from your videos!
A big THANK YOU!
Scott, This Video has raised the bar for all miniature channels, You're truly the Miniature King of TH-cam! Loved the Vid!
Love how much “hobbyists” sounds like “hobbits” in the LOTR intro 😄

you can dip the decals in a bit of vinegar, too. it has the same effect.

Now that's what I call a grand finale. Wonderful!
As a painter who's starting to claw at the ceiling to get into intermediate painting (at least that's what I think).. this video makes me feel both excited and, admittedly, daunted to paint my newly purchased Knight Desecrator (edgelord spikey boys). This video gives me some great ideas I would have otherwise not thought of. I already knew I wanted it to look like a war machine that's clearly seen battle many a time before, but give it a corrupted, salvaged, and Nurgle-y look. I need to expand my horizons and experiment with green stuff and I think the knight will be a perfect model to experiment with. Large tentacles, fleshy blobs, and the like. Good for introductory green stuff molding since it'll be larger sculpts that don't require a huge amount of intricate detail. Hopefully.. Hopefully.
The quality of this mini and the video are INSANE! So happy you’re taking your time to make these videos amazing!
Fantastic work. The gradient + weathering oils give an amazing effect
That's just insane man. All of it. The mini, the base, the video, the production value. Keep experimenting!
I don't care about warhammer, this video just popped into my feed, but the skill you have shown here is impressive, good for you man!
As a suggestion for the brass shaping, you could try using jewelry pliars. They have no teeth and you can roll the brass around them to create a fabric-like wave a bit more easily than using your fingers. Love your work!
