  • I can't unsee Ghazkull rocking a quad car cigarette lighter. Maybe I'm just old because I doubt many will know what I'm referring to. Cool model and very informative as always.
  • @lizzylies5844
    Ghazkull is genuinely one of the coolest Ork models out there, and the amount of painting possibilities you can do with him is honestly astonishing. Saw a few Ghazkulls online that have genuinely blown me away!
  • Just wanted to say thanks for giving credit for art and painted models that you put in your videos it shows just how in touch you are with the community
  • I do think the effect on the barrels turned out alright! However it feels less like a muzzle flash and more like the glow of the hot barrel to me. You could accentuate that by adding the effect over the first half of the barrels too!
  • @Cdmagee
    As someone who is just getting into miniature painting thanks to Star Wars Legions (tried to stay away from Warhammer through my youth, but we all know that's where this is heading); I love your videos. Always informative, fun and the outcome is always incredible. Your enjoyment of this is evident, especially in this video, and its very contagious. It always makes me look forward to sitting down and try what I've been learning.
  • @Tubbleberry
    A very nice reminder to paint what like and how you like
  • @Rhaenday
    Really liked this approach and the mindset behind it! Made me want to paint something this way just to try it out and see the result! Would love to see you show it off again on something with more curves and not as commonly seen looking as roughed up.
  • @StyL0s_
    I love how you mention your inspiration for the style you're going for then proceed to elevate the style by showing more restrain in the scratchiness and the griminess. Your interpretation is full of intricacies without becoming overwhelming. Great Job!
  • @piotrcthlu
    Really love your casual style, and that you point out that you should have fun painting and always try things. You are an awesome painter and you should appreciate your work more I feel, as you're way way beyond this "will I be able to do this" threshold mate, your work is really inspiring Thank you, interesting way to look at painting!
  • Could you do infinity and conquest miniature painting videos? Both games deserve more exposure on youtube, their models are gorgeous and you are insane at painting, perfect match :D. Love your content keep it up!😊
  • @dsaunders86ds
    Just painted my first GW model in months after painting mainly bust and smaller company minis. This look is what I was going for but didn't quite get there. But I'll be using this video for reference in future
  • @CharlotteWithAD
    This video has been a huge inspiration and huge influence on my beginner painting, also hugely helped getting over the mental block about not being able to get into every nook and cranny
  • Rough, weathered, and textured is my favorite way of doing things most of the time, and this was a fun video to watch and get some more insight as to what I may be missing whenever I attempt to lay paint to mini. Turns out I miss lots of things, but that's what videos like these are for! Edge highlighting & scratches are the bane of my existence because no matter how much I try thinning or not thinning my paint, half the time I get big ugly splodges that make me frown.
  • @flapdance
    I can feel the fun and love from this mini. Love how you did this
  • I’ve recently stopped priming in black and instead use various browns, similar to this video. The tips in here Will really help me elevate my paint job! Great results!
  • @1989jimbob
    Did you know that Ghazghkull wasn't supposed to kick that Ultramarine helmet and when he did he broke his toe? But they kept filming so his reaction is genuine
  • @pega_neko
    Oh my god, I've been trying to paint in this style for ages, and someone's finally put it into words. Thank you!!
