Rescuing a Seraphon Starpriest

- This week I paint an old Skink Starpriest that I got used a while back. The model was in alright condition, just a few minor fixes were needed to get this guy to the tabletop! Using some real world examples really helped get this guy some pretty awesome scales, I don't normally go for things like that, but in this case it really helped sell the idea for this really cool Skink.

I watch a lot of your videos and think this may be your most beautiful paint job. Fantastic, thank you so much for sharing your passion.😀
Thank you! I really liked this one too, a very fun model that I actually wouldn't mind getting another of. I sold this one after the video and I kind of regret it lol.
sick lizardskin bro! Plus I like that Enya! :-)
Haha, that enya sounding track seemed to fit with the mood. Might have just been my mood though 😆
Speaking of colorful models i always wanted to try a raving (as in EDM rave) dwarf. I imagine a Slayer with celestial themed purple hair, glowstick axes, funky sunglasses, and body/facepaint. But since i never really been much of a painter i never dared to try
Haha, that sounds amazing.
Damn Casey, you knocked that one right out of the park!
The colour scheme is great. Might have to steal that one myself.
😉👍🤘
Thanks man, I’m feeling pretty good about this one, it’s probably how I would do an army for sure :)
I was just watching Squidmar miniatures “ugliest mini’s” video when I had an idea for a fun challenge. Take the worst sculpted mini you can find and see if your painting technique can truly rescue it! I’m sure there are plenty of bad mini’s to choose from.
That would be fun, I’ve gotten a few older sculpts that aren’t exactly great looking. I’ll have to see if I can find one of the ones he was talking about, some of those were downright terrible lol.
The mold tip was very useful. I got a few 2nd hand models off ebay. They were painted and had bad mold lines. Watched this and scrapped off the lines and painted them up again.
I absolutely love when my favorite TH-camrs reference and reccomend each other. This is an awesome piece!
Those colours ! Just right without looking garish. I think the gold just suits this model so well. Good luck with the new studio!
Thanks! It’s coming along nicely :)
My original plan was to do crazy colors for the feathers, but after laying down some color and seeing how bright it was, that would have been way over the top. I’m glad to hear that it came across as not too over the top!
Beautiful. I love it when fantasy creatures have colours based in reality. It juste makes them more believable. All the best.
Awesome model. Seraphim are my favorite line by GW
What I love the most in these videos is watching you progress as a painter. It constantly shows me how much I've regressed as one myself. Watching painters care lets me live vicariously since I've stopped caring lol. Well done man, love what you've done!
Golden is amazing stuff. started playing with it 3 months ago and love it. Thank you for the great airbrushing suggestions.
I really enjoy the golden line as well. I’ve seen some awesome work with some of their other paints as well.
So glad you went back and painted the top of the staff next to his hand... Was doing me a stressful.
Haha, I seriously almost missed it too!
You just keep on getting better and better the colours on this model just really work
I appreciate that very much! I’m trying to practice every day, just chipping away at learning new things :)
Beautiful as always
Thank you! 😊
This came out rad! 💯🤘🏼
This is now one of my favorites from you.
Thanks man, I really like the way this one turned out :)
@@eBayMiniatureRescues Based on the auction, I'm not the only person thinking this one is special.
@@timsplinter1321 I think it's just the way of some people to show their appreciation to this channel. But I think I turned out great too.
Love this one! Very inspirational painting scheme :)
Don't mind me. Just catching up on videos I've missed. Awesome channel and insane painting!
That is truly glorious - lovely bold colours. I was pleased to see you tackle that mould line, I've noticed some in previous videos, they always make me wince a bit! 😁
Yeah I don’t always worry too much about the mold lines, more when it’s for me than anything, but since this is going up for sale (or in the case of commissions) I like to make sure the model looks the best it can :)
I think this is one of the best pieces you have ever done my man. Good job! Keep up the good work!
Thanks man, I felt pretty good about this one :)
White spirit does not damage the acrylic wash, alcohol does. If you don't apply an excessive amount of pressure it's not going to chip.
Very true! More often than not I just put oil washes right over the top of my paint jobs, in this case I was a little worried about the white ink because I’ve had issues in the past with not letting it fully cure. From the time of application to the oil wash was about 10 minutes for this guy, so I varnished it to be safe. I’ve had white ink come right off models in the past, it’s very delicate.
Looove the colors on this one! Was cool seeing your inspiration and then the final model. The gold really pops against the rest of the pallate. And good luck with your studio! Looks like a ton of work!
Thanks :)
Yeah there’s still lots to do with the new space, still needs a few key pieces before I can move into it, but it’s closer than it was before, so I’m pretty excited :)
My wife and I loved this, Casey. Really nice paint job at the end. Makes me want to collect Serephon.
Thank you! You should really get some Seraphon, I was very surprised at how much fun this guy was to paint. Lots of creative choices to make and an almost endless amount of freedom for painting options :)
@@eBayMiniatureRescues totally. Loved the chameleon vibe you were going for and the moss is a great idea. Was thinking something simialr but with small meshing.
Small mesh would be perfect for doing active camouflage on Tau or those marines with cloaks! There are a ton of varieties of mesh, could be really interesting to see.
So many thinks I like in this video
- Awesome colour choices
- the pink is perfect for the feathers
- the camera work is nice
I really liked this episode
I’m very glad you enjoyed it! Thank you :)
Casey, this is one of the coolest minis you ever painted on this channel
Thanks! I’m pretty happy the way he turned out :)
Just doing the oil wash over the white, gives it a nice stone statue vibe. I like that. Love the finished model too. :)
That would be a good way to tackle stonecast models. Hit it with some drybrushing and you’re almost done! I might have to try that :)
@@eBayMiniatureRescues Yeah go for it, I'd love to see that. Love your models
Just put together my first Skinks box and I now need to start painting and this has given me so much inspiration and wow that is a good paint job you just did! Got yourself a sub :)
Thanks! I appreciate the support :) good luck with those skinks, they are fantastic models!
This look awsome.... Nice job
I just want to say that I really enjoy your musical choices. I'm finding some nice new artists. Thank you.
Thanks, I really like trying to match the music to the model as best I can. Almost all of the music I get is from artlist.io. I’ve found some of the artists on iTunes, but mostly on SoundCloud.
Looks dope!
Thanks man :)
Congrats on the new studio! Can’t wait to see it finished. The skink looks awesome, bright colors need to be used more often :)
Thank! It's coming along nicely :)
Every time I use really bright colors I feel pretty happy about the result. I plan on finding more excuses to use them more, especially the Golden paints.
Dam lizard. An indepth video on stripping paint, tecniques and products would be apreciated.
I do plan on doing a full step by step video on stripping models at some point :)
I would love that to go in my army. Excellent job ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks man!
i m new to this channel, and your paint job improved so much since your first video i m happily surprised of how this priest turns out !! good job
I was happily surprised as well! Sometimes things just go the way they are supposed to :)
I wanna this video never have an end! Your work with details and colours sooooo awesome, Casey! Thanks a lot, it's a ton of fun to watch how this Star Priest becomes more and more cool. Wait for next video, and wish you best with new studio.
Shared video with my friend, who plays WH and AoS. He also paints his armies. I think, he'll be excited)
Thanks all around man, I’m glad you liked it! And thanks for sharing the video :)
Great end result bro 😁
Thanks!
Man that effect looks dope!
Im pretty happy the way it turned out, super fun to do too :)
@@eBayMiniatureRescues I was suggesting that Goobertown went with different colours on his shields and he wrote he tend to go rainbow on his minis and with Lizard men it kinda makes sense xD
Colors! :D Very nice, this was an enjoyable video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Contrast through an airbrush! thats a great little technique going to make use of that for something funky! thanks for doing the experiment I was scared to wreck my airbrush ;)
Contrast through the airbrush is actually making me excited to have all these contrast paints! I haven’t used very many of them because there hasn’t really been something that made sense, but airbrushing then changes the game. They won’t wreck your airbrush, there’s nothing really different about these paints compared to normal formulas, other than there’s more medium in there to do the contrast thing. Most of them are already really thin because of that and can go straight into the pot, really nice. Now to just transfer all my pots to dropper bottles!!
Very cool colour scheme. Do you have any ideas on how to use the colour scheme, with focus on the blue, gold and pink on an army scale?
Thanks!
I would stick with the blues and oranges for as much of an army as possible, maybe using pink in the basing if the model doesn’t have any extra bits that would make sense for it. That would generally tie it together. I would say that any place where gold works just use gold, that way you get a good amount of that in there too.
I wouldn’t mind getting a start collecting box for these guys and trying it, something I’ve been thinking about more and more. Someday :)
I started my Warhammer journey with Seraphon, and I instantly wanted to make them crocodile swamp men. Super happy with my green lizard boys!
Would love to see what you could do with some Infinity minis
I’m certainly not opposed to painting them. I’ll have to do some eBay searches and see if I can find some good used ones :)
WOW! you just convinced me to get an airbrush right now! this is insane! looks good within just a few minutes and I'm stunting around with the sloppy bush strokes to get the blend going! how does swapping paints on the brush work? do you have to clean it or can you screw on the paint bottle or something?
Nice! Scales on the back look like unintentional chrome effect :) (which is a nightmare to achive on purpose) maybe golden nails/talons on the left hand would look better. Maybe. Overall - great job and good to see that everything is going good on the chanel. Stay safe and healthy!
thats pretty funny, now that you mention it, it kind of does look like chrome, with the ground and sky reflection. definitely unintentional lol. I like that idea for gold talons too, like the finger tips have those little metal finger covers instead of nails. Could have been a good option.
Nice paint job and video tutorial. Would you like to share your camera and lens for miniature photography? and how did you set up your minis ? Thank you so much
Thanks man :)
I use an iPhone 10xMax to film everything, and for taking pictures I’m putting the models on a motorized spinner with a macromat behind it. Still using my phone. The secret with the phone is just making sure to have as much light on everything as possible. Taking pictures of a model doesn’t work as well with a phone, so I get video of the model turning 360 and then take screenshots of the video. Seems to work better that way.
Beautiful finished model; a nice variant would have been glossy black eyes. On that note, have you ever tried nail polish for details that need to look glossy or watery, or maybe some gnarly effect like sparkling nail polish?
Never tried nail polish before, but I imagine the formulations aren’t far off from the paints we use. Could be a fun thing to try, and especially for eyes, like you said :)
Question about contrast through an airbrush - do you thin it or spice it with flow improver ?
So far the colors I’ve used have all been fine going on straight. I have been told that some of them do require some thinning, and for that I would just use flow improver.
Get your hands on a larger scale piece from the Inquisitor range please. I'd love to see those in expert hands.
I’d love to do some larger scale models. I have a bust that’s just started. My main issue is that they don’t come up on eBay as often as I’d like. Sooner or later though :)
I will send you one Casey
Love the video and the channel. I find your videos really inspiring and oddly calming!
I really want to get back into painting minis (collected Warhammer some 10-15 years ago), any advice on where to start with paints? Is there a 'starter' set you'd recommend or any essential colours?
Now is a great time to get back into the hobby! Lots of great stuff coming out all the time these days.
For a starter paint set I would recommend something like a Vallejo starter paint kit, something with a good variety of colors and a handful of metallics, then probably get some Games Workshop Nuln oil and Agrax earthshade. That would cover you for a good amount of projects while also not totally breaking the bank. There are a few vallejo kits on amazon, some good variety in each one.
@@eBayMiniatureRescues thanks that's great! I have a few of the Vallejo Metal Colours (thanks to your recommendation) for other projects, so I'll definitely look into their starter sets!
Hey Casey - nice work on the star priest! Which video do you talk about purple washes over gold metallics?
Thanks! Such a cool model :) That purple over gold was, I'm 99% sure, the Sisters of Battle Celestien video, pretty sure.
th-cam.com/video/mKGdQP8CaZE/w-d-xo.html
What’s the name of the song in the first few minutes of the video? Looks great!
Well i would have chosen some darker, brighter blue as shown in your picture of the chameleon.
The colors on the miniature look very dark and not bright enough in my opinion.
You put an oil was on the mini. What steps do you take to make sure the paints that go on after stick to the oil?
If I have the time to let it dry fully, which really doesn't take too long, especially with a hairdryer, then it's fine to continue painting over the top of it. the water in the new paint won't do anything as long as the oil paints are dry. If I don't have the time to wait for it to be really dry and I need to move on, I hit it with a hairdryer, then some matte varnish, hairdryer again, and then continue to paint. The varnish is really the key to speed.
I am a little confused on the black oil wash, is that something purchased or are you making it?
Hey guy, can you provide a link for these golden paints? I'm liking what they do and I wanna try it
Here is an Amazon link. I have this set and I purchased the Pink separate.

@@eBayMiniatureRescues you're a legend, keep up the good work!
Was the stone ruin base what came with the model or did you make that yourself?
Have you ever done an exploding base effect before? Thinking of trying to figure out how best to do it for the Star Wars Legion Arc Troppers that are coming out soon.
Awesome video too! Model looks boss! :D
The stone base is part of the model kit, normally this model goes on a square base, but it came with a round one luckily. I haven't tried to do any exploding effects, but i've definitely seen it done on instagram so I know it's possible. Ive seen people make rocks and rubble with cork, then use something like a vallejo putty to make it look like its coming off of the ground, paint it all black and grey and it looks like it's exploding! Could be something fun to explore!
Sweet, a lizardman/Seraphon model
hopefully more in the future too, this was a fun model!
Hey Casey, paint question!
I'm starting to dabble in some non-Citadel colors, what Vallejo colors do you think are ESSENTIAL for your pallet? Thanks to any who comment :D
It’s hard to say, I have found that the Vallejo paint I’ve used has all been pretty great. So far the only one that has absolutely been my go to color is vallejo white. It doesn’t come out chalky and it has nice coverage for white. But I don’t think you can go wrong with vallejo paints at all, they are just good paints all around.
@@eBayMiniatureRescues Good looks, thanks brother!
What is that paper you lay down for painting and spraying?
Just black construction paper, nothing too special. Great for getting the excess moisture off of the brush for glazing and drybrushing though :)
good paint job overall, must say the finish looks a bit chalky and not as smooth. not sure if this is because its from ebay or not
quick question - have you had any issues applying acrylics over oil washes?
If the oil isn’t dry then you can get some weird mixing of paint on the model, sometimes it’s a great effect to do, especially on weapons, you can get a cool streaking kind of look. But most of the time it’s not what we want. I suggest either letting the oils dry completely, or letting them dry enough to be mostly set and then varnishing over the top to lock it in. I usually give it 20 minutes and then varnish the model, that way my oils are protected and there isn’t any interference with new paints being applied.
@@eBayMiniatureRescues sweet, thanks. Similar to what others have said. All the best!
where do you find goldens liquid paint ?"
I got mine from Amazon, it was, I think, an 8 pack of colors for $39 or so. You can find them in Michaels craft stores as well.
@@eBayMiniatureRescues Holy crap! It is close to twice the cost here in the UK!
You didnt do the thing! 😨😨😨The thing at the intro where you transition into the video by covering the camera lens with the bottom of the model.
And also the model is really kick ass :D
Lol, I guess I wasn’t feeling it this week. The base for this model is particularly small compared to most of the other ones.
He looks cool but there's white speckles from the airbrush all over that model, work on your control and maybe mask off areas you don't want to be ruined by the airbrush
Pog I’m here early.
First btw. Feels good man
Tic tac so close.
What was your intro music?
The intro is called Slow Energy by Young Rich Pixies.
