I really liked this mans work in Bly Manor and his appearances with the Funhaus crew on youtube (it was then quite a shock when I first saw him in a dramatic role). He is very funny and seems passionate about the things he does which is always fun to watch. To then see him talk about warhammer all the time and it all coming together by him being in a game that I am super hyped for as a fan of boomer-shooters, and now HERE. Oh man. This is fun.
Interviews are a great topic to add to the list. It would be awesome if you could interview other painters, game designers, actors, and others in the hobby.
Rahul somehow has always been in my nerdy life starting with iZombie then all his appearances at Funhaus and Bruce Greene’s streams, and now Boltgun is so crazy.
izombie was a really good show, one of those unexpected CW gems. Kinda thing that nexflix would cancel after 1 season in favour of something no one cares about.
Its nuts how good he is from just a year or so of doing it. I honestly thought he had been painting for years on and off or something. I also used to paint in silence and I stopped once I thought about how weird it was haha.
The interview was awesome and Rahul is a fucking treasure but I especially appreciated the detailed painting breakdown because I literally just started painting Ultramarines in preparation for 10th Ed lol
This was a super fun interview and kind of reminded me of some of the old Independent Characters interviews from Carl. Would love to see more of this...maybe even with Carl 🙂
It's such a joy to see my favourite actors being into all the nerdy things I like. It makes me love them even more and seing them smile and being all giddy or going off on a tangent on something they truly enjoy is the absolute best.
Not weird at all. It's just a reflection to the effort and growth artist like yourself ,Sorastro, and others have contributed to the community. Congratulations!
This is great stuff! I started following Rahul on Instagram not too long ago because I was impressed with his painting journey. It's always cool to see a celebrity with a broader platform shine a light on our little hobby.
Really enjoyed the interview with Rahul. We’ve loved Rahul since iZombie and had no idea he was a nerd like us. We also thought you had a great, natural interview style…would love to see more.
When he said he was in Gears 5 as Faz really made me happy when I was a teen Gears of War was my favourite franchise because of it’s similarity to Warhammer 40K so yeah, brilliant.
The ultramarine looks incredible! The white accents on the helmet and shoulder pad a great. I would love a video based on how to paint white for beginners, intermediates etc
Rahul is such a crazy dude. Him and a few friends try to play Darktide beta. He was having issues, he went to a club that he would go to during down time. They gave him a ethernet cable to be able to play at the hotel lol
This was a really cool video! The mini is bomb and the fact you made it for him while talking to him about the character and his journey made it all x100 cooler. Really really nice vibe and super enjoyable. Thanks for keep adding layers of enjoyment to an already very enjoyable hobby!
This format is super entertaining Ninjon... love listening to the interview over the paint work. Great idea, keep up the great work. Now off to paint a custom piece for a gift. Slayin the Grey
I've been a fan of Rahul for quite a while since Izombie started. When he started to post the odd bit of Warhammer stuff on Instagram, I was quite excited. I never envisioned it getting to this point though, it's really cool. Thank you for making this video and giving a bit more insight into his journey. Also, I have never been a fan of Smurfs but holy moly, this turned out looking so fricking cool!
I really enjoyed this video. And yes, I think that you should try to do more interviews like this. If for no other reason than to show the greater diversity of people and their careers who do this hobby of building, painting and playing with little toy warriors.
I really enjoyed this video. I had never heard of Rahul before this, but the dude seems extremely likeable. Really nice vibes. (And his own rendition of the cover art Marine looks awesome too).
I like the idea of putting the speed painting aside the actual conversation wof the podcast and not just the conversation. makes the video more entartaining
Super interesting painting method. I've never seen anyone use the same base colour for the entire miniature and then just highlight the parts that aren't blue in a different colour. Seems really efficient and looks really cool.
It's actually cool to hear someone who works in Hollywood and isn't calling us a "toxic fandom" and thinks the lore is actually cool. Rahul was also on Funhaus back in the day, wicked sense of humor when he was on there. Just compare Rahul and how he's promoting his project to how Star Wars Celebration was this year and you'll see what I mean about Rahul being refreshing.
It's really great to see Rahul engaging with the community like this. Much respect to the man for immersing himself in what he does and those in the space.
As someone who aspires to voice act whenever I get out of my own head about it. As well would love to try painting on stream just to paint…I suck, but I want to share what I love so this is a great mix of a ton of things I love Jon. Great video and as always great looking mini. Your interview questions were great as well. I could see this being a series.
Great format for a video. I bet enough of your audience can tell the techniques you’re applying. Showing the paint choices is A+. Has some serious replay value too!
Rahul has been great in all the Flanagan stuff. Cannot wait for House of Usher... Also great to see his painting journey. I've been painting for way longer and am still no where near as good... Ultramarine looks rad as hell. Makes me want to actually try and paint the blue marines.
I liked this format. Sometimes the tutorial style videos get old for TH-cam binge watchers like myself 😅 but the interview style with the painting video running was refreshing. Keep up the great work!
Mate, love it. I'd watch you paint it again in slow time telling us how too - maybe that could be a good tutorial for Rahul to follow for the rest of his Kill Team?
This is a pearl. Keep doing stuff like that. It's highly inspirational. Just so you know, "Slay the grey' has become a mantra for me when I feel like I neglect my painting ✊
This was hella cool.. I don't know if I'll play the game at all, but it's cool to mix things up and have ppl on the show talking about stuff.. you still added the hobby in the mix. Def cool stuff bro. Thanks for sharing!
This was a great video and excellent surprise, NinJon! As for slaying the grey, I am currently working on finishing painting an Inner Sphere company for Battletech as I may not be able to paint much in a couple of weeks (having a minor surgery on my wrist). If I finish it up, then I'll work on my Clan Binary and then some other minis from various games I have around the house.
Loved this video. Rahul is a pure delight to listen to, and I felt you set a comfortable and chill vibe for the conversation wich always makes for the best interviews.
I enjoy your channel. Part of that enjoyment is that you regularly switch it up. Rahul seems like a great guy and this was a fun interview. Halfway through the vid I discovered your dog in the background 🥰 A little while later I started hearing slight purring (I'm on headphones) when I realised that is your dog snoring I smiled ear to ear. Keep having fun with your adventure!
Loved this video. Great video, great mini. What a genuine guy and such a relaxed interview. I could listen to a 3 hour podcast version of this where it's just 2 guys talking nerdy about hobby shit.
Excellent, weird video. I think it's definitely okay to depart from your usual format, especially when it is for something as cool as this. Rahul Kohli is a gem. I enjoyed his work on iZombie very much. Also, excellent paint job.
This was awesome. I've followed Rahul for a while from the video game space, got into mini painting a few months after him. This is bringing my two loves full circle.😆
He seems like a really cool dude. Very humble too. I always wanted to be a voice actor but never managed to work out how to actually break into that career unfortunately. 😢
Actually a really interesting entry. You managed to merge a regular painting video with an interview related to the subject, which allowed me to follow your process while being entertained by your pleasant exchange: a form of light podcast, if you will. I could definitely see more of this format as I strongly prefer it to the other "topic-of-the-week" one. It doesn't look as hard to produce as other videos so, if I'm not mistaken, you could even increase your output. Maybe you could interview you other painter friends and colleagues and then stretch to new topics?
I agree youtube can help you get to being a better painter. When I first started painting there was no youtube. It was looking at your codex or asking your friend. So youtube can really help you learn the techniques , after that it is learning how to apply them. Keep your old stuff ! Its great to look back and see how far you have got and how much better at painting you get. Im a super slow painter but I dont mind because Im never in a hurry and at least the paint jobs are getting better over time haha. Have fun everyone warhammer 40k is the best sci fi / table top game iv ever played. I miss old school Mage Knight as crappy as those pre paint jobs are I had fun with it and cool mini idea's
JON! JON! Get Rahul for TUP! It will just be 2 hours of Scoot Waters laughing but it'll get dem clicks! We much protect Rahul and his grumpy kindness at all costs.
Great video. It’s good to see other people’s journeys into the hobby. I know for me Miniac Wes a gateway into painting for me closely followed by Ninjon and the other TH-camrs.
This neato, entertaining guy on that other channel, is a voice actor? Awesome video, I've been greatly enjoying Rahul's journey into the hobby, awesome job Ninjon, keep up the wholesome content!
Hell yea dude! I love this! This has to be one of my fav videos. And I absolutely can't wait for Boltgun too. I got high hopes for it. I want a miniature like that so bad. Awesome job dude!
Rahul's face when you said you had painted him a mini based on the boltgun art was so wholesome
God, I wish we could have seen his face when he saw the finished piece. Would have been pure gold.
You should paint up a Space Marine as Captain Titus for Mark Strong.
Unfortunately he isn't back for the new game. Maybe two for Mark and the new actor (I think it's Lothbrok's brother from Vikings IIRC)
Lieutenant Titus**
@PallyK just titus*
@@Bass-ef3dr Gigachad Titus
Titus has an actual model
I really liked this mans work in Bly Manor and his appearances with the Funhaus crew on youtube (it was then quite a shock when I first saw him in a dramatic role).

He was awesome in iZombie!
yup, Bly Manor was stellar!
Glad you said it before I could. For both of those too!
Man first I get to watch Rahul's first game on PlayOn and now I get to watch Jon make his character? Epic!
Interviews are a great topic to add to the list. It would be awesome if you could interview other painters, game designers, actors, and others in the hobby.
This is awesome, Rahul seems like a genuinely nice dude and his reaction to knowing you painted the mini for him was great.
Rahul somehow has always been in my nerdy life starting with iZombie then all his appearances at Funhaus and Bruce Greene’s streams, and now Boltgun is so crazy.
izombie was a really good show, one of those unexpected CW gems. Kinda thing that nexflix would cancel after 1 season in favour of something no one cares about.

What a genuine and nice guy! That was a great format and I’d love if you interviewed more!
This was a super fun interview and kind of reminded me of some of the old Independent Characters interviews from Carl. Would love to see more of this...maybe even with Carl 🙂
Great paint job and chat. You can hear johns dog snoring at 13:09 minutes. Little cameo. Lol
It's such a joy to see my favourite actors being into all the nerdy things I like. It makes me love them even more and seing them smile and being all giddy or going off on a tangent on something they truly enjoy is the absolute best.
Rahul... what a dude. Totally ace in Midnight Mass... serious a contender to the Cavill throne. More of this plx!
Not weird at all. It's just a reflection to the effort and growth artist like yourself ,Sorastro, and others have contributed to the community. Congratulations!
Jon as always with an amazing paint job, absolute banger of a video!
This is great stuff! I started following Rahul on Instagram not too long ago because I was impressed with his painting journey. It's always cool to see a celebrity with a broader platform shine a light on our little hobby.
I'd like to see how the conversion was done honestly, the part I was most curious about since you went straight into the painting!
Really enjoyed the interview with Rahul. We’ve loved Rahul since iZombie and had no idea he was a nerd like us. We also thought you had a great, natural interview style…would love to see more.
This was a great watch my guy
When he said he was in Gears 5 as Faz really made me happy when I was a teen Gears of War was my favourite franchise because of it’s similarity to Warhammer 40K so yeah, brilliant.
Great stuff, Rahul is awesome. I hope he makes his way into whatever Heny Cavill is working on
This was pretty cool. I’ve been watching him learn to play on tabletop gaming I think it was.
The ultramarine looks incredible! The white accents on the helmet and shoulder pad a great. I would love a video based on how to paint white for beginners, intermediates etc
Rahul is such a crazy dude. Him and a few friends try to play Darktide beta. He was having issues, he went to a club that he would go to during down time. They gave him a ethernet cable to be able to play at the hotel lol
I had NO idea the voice was Rahul until I watched this! Been BINGE-playing Boltgun and was clueless, love the guy!
This was a really cool video! The mini is bomb and the fact you made it for him while talking to him about the character and his journey made it all x100 cooler. Really really nice vibe and super enjoyable. Thanks for keep adding layers of enjoyment to an already very enjoyable hobby!
Always knew Rahul as a guest for Funhaus back in the day, nice to see him in more media now that I would typically come across
We need to see kit bash vids for those unique and brilliant models! Rauhl has been great in midnight mass.
Rahul is such a wholesome, fun dude. Seeing him interact with you was awesome. Makes me wonder... have you heard anything further from Manganiello?
This format is super entertaining Ninjon... love listening to the interview over the paint work. Great idea, keep up the great work. Now off to paint a custom piece for a gift. Slayin the Grey
I've been a fan of Rahul for quite a while since Izombie started. When he started to post the odd bit of Warhammer stuff on Instagram, I was quite excited.

Also, I have never been a fan of Smurfs but holy moly, this turned out looking so fricking cool!
Rahul is awesome, been a fan for years
Rahul is such a cool ass dude like its awesome hearing about how he got in warhammer
What I really like about your channel is that it's never "only painting". It's always something more. Keep it up!
I really enjoyed this video. And yes, I think that you should try to do more interviews like this. If for no other reason than to show the greater diversity of people and their careers who do this hobby of building, painting and playing with little toy warriors.
Rahul is such a likeable dude from every channel I’ve seen him be on recently. That mini is sick too, I loved this format for the video.
I really enjoyed this video. I had never heard of Rahul before this, but the dude seems extremely likeable. Really nice vibes. (And his own rendition of the cover art Marine looks awesome too).
I like the idea of putting the speed painting aside the actual conversation wof the podcast and not just the conversation. makes the video more entartaining
Super interesting painting method. I've never seen anyone use the same base colour for the entire miniature and then just highlight the parts that aren't blue in a different colour. Seems really efficient and looks really cool.
Love Rahul, great interview!
I think you should introduce Rahul to Marco Frisoni to try and get him to paint minis faster (but still looking beautiful!)
It's actually cool to hear someone who works in Hollywood and isn't calling us a "toxic fandom" and thinks the lore is actually cool. Rahul was also on Funhaus back in the day, wicked sense of humor when he was on there. Just compare Rahul and how he's promoting his project to how Star Wars Celebration was this year and you'll see what I mean about Rahul being refreshing.
I cannot even begin to express how much I thoroughly enjoyed this video.
It's really great to see Rahul engaging with the community like this. Much respect to the man for immersing himself in what he does and those in the space.
Such a cool idea for a video. Keep ‘em’ coming Jon!
Love this guy. Super down to earth and great performance on Izombie.
Glad to see he has joined our ranks.
As someone who aspires to voice act whenever I get out of my own head about it. As well would love to try painting on stream just to paint…I suck, but I want to share what I love so this is a great mix of a ton of things I love Jon. Great video and as always great looking mini.

Great format for a video. I bet enough of your audience can tell the techniques you’re applying. Showing the paint choices is A+.
Has some serious replay value too!
I love this type of video. I hope you can find more people to interview while you paint :)
Rahul has been great in all the Flanagan stuff. Cannot wait for House of Usher...
Also great to see his painting journey. I've been painting for way longer and am still no where near as good...
Ultramarine looks rad as hell. Makes me want to actually try and paint the blue marines.
That is so rad! I love this, keep up the great work!
Rahul is the man. His work in Bly Manor and Midnight Mass was incredible, such a likable on-screen presence.
I liked this format. Sometimes the tutorial style videos get old for TH-cam binge watchers like myself 😅 but the interview style with the painting video running was refreshing. Keep up the great work!
Absolutely love Rahul's work. I think it's awesome you brought him on to the channel and had a wholesome chat with him.
This stuff is gold, Jon. Keep it up! Anything with Rahul Kohli I'll devour. One of my favorites all the way from the Funhaus days.
Mate, love it. I'd watch you paint it again in slow time telling us how too - maybe that could be a good tutorial for Rahul to follow for the rest of his Kill Team?
Seems like a great guy, glad you made him a sick mini.
Nice change of pace. I would enjoy interview/inspired painting spattered into your content.
This is a pearl. Keep doing stuff like that. It's highly inspirational. Just so you know, "Slay the grey' has become a mantra for me when I feel like I neglect my painting ✊
This is one of the most wholesome gratifying video I've seen all week, and it's a man painting plastic talking about butt xD
He name dropped almost every mini painting You Tuber I watch. Very cool interview Jon.
Wish I could find out what minis were used to put this one together, unless it was mentioned at some point in the video. Fantastic video regardless.
Same
This was hella cool.. I don't know if I'll play the game at all, but it's cool to mix things up and have ppl on the show talking about stuff.. you still added the hobby in the mix. Def cool stuff bro. Thanks for sharing!
That was fucking awesome. Jon you’re by far the best Warhammer content creator. His reaction was priceless
I didn’t catch that Rahul voice acted in that Doom 40k shooter when he showed up on play on. What a nice guy!
This was a great video and excellent surprise, NinJon!
As for slaying the grey, I am currently working on finishing painting an Inner Sphere company for Battletech as I may not be able to paint much in a couple of weeks (having a minor surgery on my wrist). If I finish it up, then I'll work on my Clan Binary and then some other minis from various games I have around the house.
this was one of your most enjoyable videos honestly. And I was thinking that before you asked at the end of the video...
Yep! Do More What you need to do is have him voice over your script!!! ROFL!! Love to hear his voice over Darryl’s image!
Loved this video. Rahul is a pure delight to listen to, and I felt you set a comfortable and chill vibe for the conversation wich always makes for the best interviews.
My heart! This is my favorite! Also did Mike Maginelgno like his model?
I enjoy your channel. Part of that enjoyment is that you regularly switch it up. Rahul seems like a great guy and this was a fun interview. Halfway through the vid I discovered your dog in the background 🥰 A little while later I started hearing slight purring (I'm on headphones) when I realised that is your dog snoring I smiled ear to ear.

Also, excellent paint job.
This was awesome. I've followed Rahul for a while from the video game space, got into mini painting a few months after him. This is bringing my two loves full circle.😆
the interview + painting format is really nice
I almost liked it more than a typical paint video where you explain the process.
Ohhh yes! Great mini, love the paintjob! We need more Beakies anyways.. ;)
He seems like a really cool dude. Very humble too. I always wanted to be a voice actor but never managed to work out how to actually break into that career unfortunately. 😢
I think that this is amazing. You’re a charismatic person and it’s fun to see you interacting with other people in your videos or podcasts.
this was awesome, already loved Rahul because of his work on the "Haunting of" Netflix shows but now he's ascended to Cavill status haha.
One of my favorite actors AND one of my favorite youtubers! yes please!!! Got to get him on the podcast next!
What a fun interview! Thanks for sharing it, and you need to let us know what Rahul says after he gets his Rah-Ultramarine!
Big fan of Rahul, even bigger fan knowing his nerdlery and mine are similar. Well done, Ninjon.
Actually a really interesting entry. You managed to merge a regular painting video with an interview related to the subject, which allowed me to follow your process while being entertained by your pleasant exchange: a form of light podcast, if you will.

I loved Rahul from I zombie. Which reminds me, he could be a great blood angel, no?
I love videos where I can just watch you paint. I learn a LOT when I can just see the whole process happening . Thank you Ninjon
Very cool vid Ninjon! More interviews like this please!
JON! JON! Get Rahul for TUP! It will just be 2 hours of Scoot Waters laughing but it'll get dem clicks!
We much protect Rahul and his grumpy kindness at all costs.
Great video. It’s good to see other people’s journeys into the hobby. I know for me Miniac Wes a gateway into painting for me closely followed by Ninjon and the other TH-camrs.
Honestly I'm not sure who in this conversation I'm more jealous of, big fan of both of you guys. Great video!
Keep the interviews coming. You have a very authentic relaxed style. Perfect
Love the deep blue carrying into the shadows on the cloth and purity seals, looks great and ties the model together.
#ideas
Ha I thought that was your airbrush tank filling up, which was strange because you didn’t use one! My dog snores too! 😂
This neato, entertaining guy on that other channel, is a voice actor?
Awesome video, I've been greatly enjoying Rahul's journey into the hobby, awesome job Ninjon, keep up the wholesome content!
This was Amazing. Love Rahul in Mike Flanagan’s series. Badass video Ninjon keep it up.🎉
Loved this video! Paint job looks great and it was awesome to have the interview over the painting being done!
Hell yea dude! I love this! This has to be one of my fav videos. And I absolutely can't wait for Boltgun too. I got high hopes for it. I want a miniature like that so bad. Awesome job dude!
Great vid! I thought there was a motorbike in the background, but it was your dog snoring! 🤣
I totally thought that was an airbrush compressor going off in the background of the video, love that it doggo snores
