That model is literally and figuratively outstanding in its field.
Thank you 😊
Rampant, you might say
Like a scarecrow.
i had that same idea many many years ago but never did it due to costs and that same stuggle of finding a suitable horses ass at the time, Have to say well tho done it looks amazing!
Thank you 😊
Great job Stu. Glad our Kragnos conversation was conveniently sans swearing. Doesnt happen often! 😆
Cheers dude. I was expecting to have to blank something out or crop that image 😆
@@MiniatureRealms 🤣 Yep!
The model and paint job is outstanding, but IMHO it still looks very much like an Empire Lord.
Thank you, and I can understand that yes, I’m planning on some minor adjustments.
Thank you for posting. I am struggling to find a suitable hippogryph model for my Bretonnians Old World army, and you have given me ideas to start from. Your conversion looks fantastic! I hope mine comes out half as good as yours.
Thank you 😊
This is a beautiful piece
Thank you, that’s very kind. 😊
Looks superb great colour scheme.
Thank you 😊
Beautiful work. Been painting 30 years, and I don’t come within a mile of your skill.
Thank you that is very kind 😊
You handling this model as you paint it gives purspective as to The size of the model
It was just about on the limit if size before it became tricky. I’ve painted a GW Smaug in the past year, that was challenging to hold at times.
Well that was a surprisingly perfect tutorial to stumble upon. I may well have just ordered Kragnos's butt from the same guy you have now
That’s awesome, let me know how you get on with it 🙂
Looks really good. Those back legs have worked out very well. The only thing that came to mind while watching this morning was the yellow at the top of the banner and colour of the lance were both pretty similar warm colours.
Impressive as usual matey.
Cheers mate. I know what you mean about those colours, I may add a more silver highlights to the lance.
@MiniatureRealms It was just the yellow next to the warm brown of the wood, but there a good amount of differentiation between them. I did think you were going to do the entire banner blue as I watched along.
It's not a big thing, I am just mentally scared from having Ron Kruzie assess some of painted figures at Smogcon that I was well pleased with. Well until after speaking to him at any rate.🤣 As he picked up pointed out that there warm colours adjacent were too similar in tones.
😂 I’ve been there myself.
It was to match the halved yellow blue theme of the army, and the other flags and banners really. But I agree and will take a look at that.
@@MiniatureRealms It'll be one of those things no one else will ever mention or notice. 🤣
In the beginning I was like “Nooo the old Louen model is so cool and the fact that the hippo griffs aren’t huge is what makes it cool!”
Not a fan of everything big and badder is cooler. At all. Also the per portions and art direction. Like the griffons body being so much bigger then it’s head.
However, you killed this and made it look great. Very impressive man! Definitely seen you’re stuff but hearing there’s more old world got me subscribed , thanks 🤙🏽
Thank you Steve 🙂
I hear you on the not ‘everything big and badder is cooler’ thing, I don’t often gravitate towards that kind of thing. He’s definitely bigger than a normal Hippogryph, I was tempted to use the High Elf plastic one to convert from, as it’s a bit smaller, but decided this beast was going to be unusually large for its species.
Wow, fantastic work Stu - think this is some of the best work I’ve seen you do - outstanding. Old world isn’t really my thing but wish I could paint like this. Fabulous as always and watch out for my next vid in the next couple of days - think you will be impressed 😜. All the best. Stevie
Thank you Stevie, and I definitely will do.
Awesome centrepiece!
Thank you 😊
Wow! That looks really awesome!
Thank you 😊
Incredible! Great work!
Thank you very much 🙂
I like the idea that the rider is a grail knight that’s got so old that he couldn’t defend a monastery and his legs have lost use so he’s been attached to his stead to go into battle again
Love that, very cool idea.
Outstanding work Stuart especially with your sculpting skills!
Thank you Andrew 😊
Fantastic. Inspiring. Thank you. Glad the algorithm brought me here!
Thank you 😊
amazong job!!! My congrats!!
Thank you 😊
I’ve just bought the bits ready to copy you, with a few changes.
Thank you so much for this video, it’s been a real inspiration.
Oh wow, make sure you let me know how you get on, I’d love to see the result if you end up posting pictures anywhere.
Your best work on youtube, truly fabulous. Well done
Thank you very much 😊
Fantastic job man!
Thank you 😊
Wow! That was amazing - superb build and fabulous paint work 👍
Thank you Andy 😊
Amazing conversion, well done.
Thank you 😊
Amazing work mate, seriously this is a whole other level 👍😁
Cheers dude 😊
I just have one word - Amazing!!
Thank you so much 😊
Great idea and great execution!
Thank you 😊
Looks great
Thank you 🙂
I love the kitbashing you have awesome skills🎉
Thank you 😊
Very impressive!
Thank you 🙂
Very happy that you made this video. I mostly played Bretonnia and Empire back in the day and am getting back into Bretonnia with the new The Old World game. I have a Karl Franz and was also thinking of converting it for my existing Bretonnian army.
Glad you enjoyed the video, and hope your journey back into Bretonnia is as fun as mine has been so far.
This is superb
Thank you 😊
Great work mate!
Thank you 🙂
Phenomenal bit of hobby this Stu.
Thank you Dale 😊
looks amazing!
Thank you 🙂
Gran conversion y espectacular pintado. 👌🏻
Thank you 😊
Love this! Looks like a proper hippogryph
Thank you 🙂
Just phenomenal. I don't know what else can be said, haha!
Thank you very much 😊
Looks badass
Thank you 😊
Very cool
Thank you 🙂
Excellent.
Thank you 😊
Thats great work! Hope you will get more recognition. Greetings from Germany. Subscribed.
Thank you, that’s very kind of you 😊
that is astounding. I've wanted a big Hippogryph for brettonia for so long, especially after TWW introduce a proper sized one on par with the Empire griffon. Here's hoping the Old world eventually gets one.
Thank you 😊
Very high quality work! Can you do the legendary green knight?!?! EPIC!
Thank you 😊. I’d love to do the Green Knight one day.
mate that is bloody awesome....makes me want to paint my old karl franz on deathclaw models now....
Thank you 😊
Great conversion, even better monster painting, wish I was that competent with an airbrush!
Thank you 😊
Fantastic work bud, more old world content please
Thank you 😊
Definitely lots more on the way, quite a few different things planned.
Interesting box still includes rectangular base
Yeah, I’m not sure if that’s a new thing to add it back, or they’ve kept that all along.
Wow! This should be an official model!
Thank you 😊
Great job, only point of contention is that Maltese cross smacks of Reiksguard a little too much. Otherwise, brilliant 👏
Thank you 😊
I’ve actually adjusted that decal now, I’ve combined the Maltese cross with another to change the way it looks.
Enjoying your Old World series, fantastic conversion, looks very knightly to me and this was great to watch as it came together, far better than a couple of photos. The majority of my conversions are weapon swaps, hands, arms, heads, nothing huge or ambitious.
Thank you 😊
I rarely do much more that the odd head or weapon swap, but this probably turned out easier than I expected. I was quite lucky how close in size the two miniatures were.
One minute in I'm desperately searching for the backside of Kragnos!
😂
I think it looks amazing and you did a great job. I would have considered greenstuffing some fabric to drape down from the back of the saddle though. I think it could have been very striking. Possibly some from the barding at the front too.
Thank you, those are great ideas, maybe something to go back and add in the future.
Louen Leoncoeur 5th edition has a Hippogryph.
Yeah a classic sculpt, and while a like a lot of old and middle hammer, that one I don’t think holds up quite as well today (at least in my army anyway, but it would be fun to paint for display).
Honestly incredible conversion and paintjob
My bigest conversion has just been to take a leman russ battle tank some tracks from a LTvz35 (Panzer 35(t)) and put them towether
Thank you 🙂
…and I bet that looked really cool!
It’s a beautiful model! And paint job! What were the two highlighting contrast paints you used on the talons please :)
Thank you. From memory I think it was Citadel Averland Sunset and Phalanx yellow.
7:33 * Giggles * Jokes aside, amazing work, great job!
😆 Thank you 😊
I love the 6th edition Hippogryph sculpt. But this is a great job you have done making this. That said, I think it might have been a good idea to pin the lance, as I imagine that might snap quite easily... Also I use Imperial Crosses like that all across my Empire armies, so having that decal is quite distracting for me.... I almost wonder if some cloth barding may have helped a bit too.... Still really great job though!
Thank you Andrew. I agent with the cross, I guess I’m very much swayed by historical influences rather than Warhammer lore, and I have a little army fluff idea for it, but I may do something to ‘Bretonify’ it more.
Amazing work! Can’t wait to see you paint new TOW miniatures when they finally come out. Btw I know this wasn’t a painting tutorial but I’m curious about something: when you did the zenithal highlights you tilted the model upside down hitting the bottom part of the wings. I thought zenithal was supposed to represent light from above? Thanks a lot for the help!
Thank you, really can’t wait to get my hands on some of those new miniatures, I’ll certainly be doing some videos on them as soon as I can but them.
You’re totally right, zenithal is officially really just from a single light source, but I do use the term as a bit of a ‘catch all’ description at times. The issue with doing a pure zenithal on a gaming miniature, is that far too much would be left black, which is perfect if you’re doing a competition piece like a bust for example, but doesn’t work well in this example.
I still use the term zenithal as the light tends to be focussed top down, and the paint is definitely heavier from that angle. I also use the new phrase of ‘slapchop’, as I very often add a white drybrush stage as well, further enhancing the detail. Essentially what I’m doing in a significant amount of ‘underpainting’, preparing the miniature for colour in a way that benefits heavy glaze style base layer paints like contrast/Speedpaint/Xpress Color. It’s probably a better term to use, and I need to use it more.
@@MiniatureRealms Cheers thanks a lot for the explanation, I'm gonna go look further into the concept of underpainting. I'm still a beginner and zenithal+contrasts+highlights seem a good compromise for us new to the hobby that want to do something more apart from the obvious basecoating+shading. I understand why for this kind of model pure zenithal wouldn't work well tho, since contrasts require a lighter surface and applying them on an only black primed miniature would be useless.
Great work, it came out really well and the paint job looks fantastic; I do have one question though, what was the spray you kept using on the miniature during the build? And if you don't mind me asking, could you recommend any modelling tools? I am just getting back into the hobby for Old World and need to pick up new clippers, knives, sculpting things, etc.
Thank you. The spray was super glue activator, just sets the super glue almost instantly. Tool wise I buy most of mine from Amazon these days, Army Painter do some cheap ones that aren’t great, GW ones are very good but overpriced. GF9 (Gale Force 9) do some good stuff.
Thanks again for the video. Love the conversion and paintjob. Cant wait for the infos GW will release next week in regards of the Old World(they said that there will be more News in June). Did you have plans to make a project log for the Breonians ?
Thank you. 🙂
Yes I’m looking forward to the news as well, guess they had to get 40k out of the way, and with the box release today, and the core rules pre-order, I think next week might allow some other news. Not expecting anything huge though, sadly I don’t think we will see TOW until next year.
And yes, there will be more videos on the Bretonnia project, I’m not numbering them like I have done with previous games, but I have update videos planned alongside the tutorials.
I'm curious why you didn't pick one flank or the other rather than keeping both flanks? To my eye it makes the torso a bit too long and is more of a challenge to sculpt over. Still a fabulous project and a unique piece that I'm sure will draw attention. Well done.
Thank you. I think it ended up about the same length. I could cut much closer to the eagle side, there was only about 5mm to the wing socket, then the other way was very close to the horse thigh. The lion/big cat also tapers away quickly with a much smaller belly, so retaining that from the horse made sense. I think both other options would have made it harder, and with it being central I had space to work either way to create a smooth join. That of course is just my assessment beforehand, but having done it I wouldn’t change that part.
I wonder if you kept the legs of the tiger but replaced the paws with hoofs if that would work? And change out the tail
Umm maybe, might have looked a bit odd though.
Who did you take the skin scheme from? Got a link? Couldnt make it out what you said :)
It was @JuanHidalgoMiniatures youtube.com/@JuanHidalgoMiniatures
Excellent channel
How did you do the reins
It’s was actually made from small strips of foil packaging that I cut from scalpel blade packaging. It’s the kind you also find on the tops of some yoghurt pots, the key is it holds its shape, so posable to an extent. Just cut it to shape, superglue one end, then shape and glue the rest in place. After priming works fine.
That is a seriously cool conversion!
How difficult do you think it would be to do away with the big front armour plate and have feathers instead?
Just hide the original model a little.
Thank you. 🙂
Definitely doable, if you have the patience to sculpt the feathers it would look great, the big armour plate is a separate piece.
@@MiniatureRealms Thanks! I think in my case it's less "patience" and more "general skill". I haven't got much experience with sculpting; but it would be an interesting project to try and learn.
@Parabueto Absolutely, could be a really fun challenge. Another options would be a Caparison, might be easier to do a cloth covering that matches the horses.
You said the reins are foil packaging? How does that work?
Yeah it’s something I wish I filmed, so hard to explain. It was the kind of stiff foil you get on packs of scalpel blades, much thicker than kitchen foil, doesn’t tear. Similar stuff can be found os yogurt pot lids as well.
Anyway, I just cut it to the size I wanted, shaped it to fit nicely (it retaining some shape is what makes it handle), and then superglued it in place before priming.
Really like your Bretonnian stuff, trying to avoid the videos though as I most definitely DO NOT want another project or yet another game system added to my already creaking shelves. Way back I had a full Bretonnian army that was painted in a Templar theme that took my fancy having seen it in a White Dwarf. Got rid of it, along with the Dark Elves, when I left the UK for good. I don't get rid of painted stuff now, EVER!
😆 Definitely stay clear if you don’t want to be sucked into another game.
I bet that army was amazing, but not surprised you sold off stuff before a big move like that.
@@MiniatureRealms Yes it seemed like a sensible decision as the time. About 14 armies in, thinking I'd never game again. When viewed against the facst that I DID take a load ob bloody fly-fishing gear and boxes and boxes of DVDs (which never got opened until I gave them all away years later), the decision seems less sound! Benefits of hindsight eh :(
Amazing... but the rules say 50 x 50 mm base?
Yes they do, this was done way back last year before the rules came out. I’ll have to rebase if I wanted to use it, but I’m only like to play it in big friendly games.
do et! My OCD can't handle it! xD@@MiniatureRealms
The use of the black templar cross for heraldry pushed the model in the German direction. It is extremely similar to the Iron Cross (I know that it isn't Renaissance, but it is still part of the German army. And the Empire is Renaissance Germany + Magic)
P.S. Next time you need a part of an animal, look at toys, not GW.
The cross is a grey area, but it’s the Templar Knights theme I’m going for, when I finalise the armies lore it will make more sense. As a single mini I don’t think it helps shed the Empire themes of the mini, but will hopefully work in the context of the army.
I did think about toys, would have definitely been cheaper, but also much harder to find on the right scale and the quality I needed.
Let me guess! Goldfish blue?? Those guys prices are TRASH!! Your mini is incredible however!!
Thank you 😊
It wasn’t them actually, but I’m aware of some of their prices 😅.
Amazing work!
Although I admit that I hate the original model. It's overdesigned and simply too big.
I like my old 6th empire griffon better...
Thank you. I do love the charm of those old models, so real classics, even if they do seem so small now in comparison.
It would definitely be pronounced beaky rather than beekwy
I love their humour, so much of that kind of stuff over the years.
😳 .... you just butchered my all times favourite model to death ... but Karl Franz has been butchered by GW before ... and his absence in "The Old World" really disturb me ...
Really nice conversion and superb paint job 👍👍👍
I maybe would have used a bretonnian full helmet with a crown on top instead, but thats more a personal taste.
Thank you 🙂.
I think I’ll buy another one to use in a future Empire army, love the sculpt as well.
