    You waited 7 years for these models. In 7 years from now, I expect to see a video of you showing off the whole set, painted. Good luck!

  • @KabinMiniatures
    @KabinMiniatures Před 9 měsíci +100

    Those eyes are truly horrifying. I've always found big, staring round eyes to be more scary than the more stylized and thin "sinister slits". The round eyes of this monster just scream out madness somehow. Awesome paintjob as always!

  • @001Hatsune
    @001Hatsune Před 9 měsíci +33

    Easily one of my FAVORITE minis you've painted!! Please make a series painting more Kingdom Death monsters!!

  • @Bearsofthelaw
    @Bearsofthelaw Před 9 měsíci +45

    The majority of my collection is games workshop, mainly due to availability. So the more varied set of figures you paint the better, let the world see what else is out there. Keep up the good work.

    • @Cartonus_prime
      @Cartonus_prime Před 9 měsíci +1

      Same for me, and i didnt really find good model to get too.
      If i order them online, it's always from another country so the whole price cost me so much more than just random Warhammer box.
      So i stick to gameworkshop product, because i got a store in my city :/
      Even Star Wars legion miniature cost more than a box of Warhammer in my city :/

  • @McCool117
    @McCool117 Před 9 měsíci +29

    The model and your painting looks amazing!
    I would love to see more videos of other Kingdom Death Models being painted in the future.

  • @ForestZachman
    @ForestZachman Před 9 měsíci +20

    I love seeing painters tackle KD:M minis! Not a lot of people doing that. Love your rendition of the Croc!

  • @MarketResearchReading114
    @MarketResearchReading114 Před 9 měsíci +6

    What I like most about this, is that it shows a clear love of "effective and efficient" techniques without losing any of the passion towards skillful understanding. I absolutely love that you were able to do this! It obviously looks even easier then that with the way you shot it, but its such an inspiring way that appeals to me very deeply.

  • @bohenian
    @bohenian Před 9 měsíci +5

    The way you painted it isn't creepy, it's more of a creature that will show pretty colors to you with its scales/skin. And once you get caught in the beauty of it, it'll devour you. I love it.

  • @johncleary6599
    @johncleary6599 Před 9 měsíci +4

    I LOVE this paintjob. I've seen a lot of Crimson Crocs on the internet lately but yours is by far my favorite. You've inspired me to paint mine similar to yours, which is saying a lot because I've been carefully pondering how to paint this spectacular monstrosity.

  • @SemperTyranosaurus
    @SemperTyranosaurus Před 9 měsíci +5

    Hell yes Kingdom Death! This is probably my favorite paintjob I've seen for a model from this game, well done.
    Also: I too am a masochist about this game. Love the grim reality of losing a survivor and somehow still winning with only one person left and the settlement going on without them.

  • @karlarose536
    @karlarose536 Před 9 měsíci +3

    It's weirdly beautiful and absolutely horrifying at the same time. A really cool sculpt and an awesome paint job!

  • @maxarrow4407

    Hope you do more videos on KDM minis, especially the character models from the Gamblers Chest.

  • @chrisschultz7993
    @chrisschultz7993 Před 9 měsíci +4

    This is one of your best Jon. I love Kingdom Death! Please paint more of the Gamblers Chest!

  • @robbar77
    @robbar77 Před 9 měsíci +7

    I LOVE Kingdom Death and can't wait for the Gambler's Chest to show up. The huge monsters are a blast to paint and making custom survivors based off of your current gear load-out is addictive.

  • @MarkProdger13

  • @jabberwok777
    @jabberwok777 Před 9 měsíci +3

    I LOVE seeing how you and others paint KDM models. I'm still wading through the base game which was purchased late last year and wish I'd known about the game years ago. The Croc looks great, and I look forward to seeing more from you!

  • @CodeLlama
    @CodeLlama Před 9 měsíci

    I just got my Gambler's Chest yesterday! I LOVE KDM so much and got in that Kickstarter in the first 15 minutes. Every time I see you wearing a KDM T-shirt I am so happy.
    I now am seriously torn between painting my overly ambitious Tyranids army, and my overly ambitious Kingdom Death minis. What a problem to have.

  • @emidowdarrow

    @semiseriousnerd31 Před 9 měsíci +2

    I absolutely love Kingdom Death Monsters, however I've never played it yet. However I do have all of the first wave with gamblers chest coming and im really excited!! Your take/ paint job of the Crimson Crocodile has been my favorite so far out of all of the ones I've seen.

  • @dafickler
    @dafickler Před 9 měsíci

    That looks incredible. You have to show as much of that game as possible. It looks cool as all heck, Mister.

  • @FSDraconis
    @FSDraconis Před 9 měsíci +1

    I'll just come out and say it upfront. I do not play Warhammer 40k at all. But I am happily here watching your videos for painting insight. Personally I have a massive amount of Shadows of Brimstone stuff to paint and often a lot of it does not fit into Warhammer at all. But that does not mean I can't learn from you. I love your style NinJon and I am grateful for the work you put in.

  • @bampdd

    So weird connection - but the unsettling eyes reminds me of the Australian tv show “The Ferals”
    Great paint job as always!

  • @finalcountdownsteve
    @finalcountdownsteve Před 9 měsíci +1

    Two things. Love the transition from narration to sped up painting footage heralded by the ring-in. Hawt.
    Second, clown fiesta can be horrifying. This thing looks like a poorly taxidermied horse nightmare when I theoretically have hit my alleged threshold of mind altering uhmmm...Minecraft.

  • @GiantSherman
    @GiantSherman Před 9 měsíci +1

    We just beat the prologue for GCE, loved it! New stuff looks like fun to play with. Hope you keep doing more KDM figures. Awesome work!

  • @Smokeydubbs
    @Smokeydubbs Před 9 měsíci

    Hey Jon, I found your stuff a few months ago. I originally wasn't a too interested with your non-40k stuff and your non-GW style but you wore me down and I've watched all your stuff. I've learned a lot by seeing your varied approaches and your commentary is entertaining and informative. Love your stuff, keep it up.

  • @sventheultimate

  • @Sluggernaut
    @Sluggernaut Před 9 měsíci +10

    Ok wtf. When I saw this model in your Wednesday Patreon vid, I thought you actually used metallic paints to get that highlighting. I didnt know you manually defined the light source with paint... wow! I love this thing. It is absolutely amazing to me.

  • @Breland1976
    @Breland1976 Před 9 měsíci

    This paint job got me pumped! Awesome technique and color theory, kick butt! Thanks Jon.

  • @BDWANNEMACHER
    @BDWANNEMACHER Před 9 měsíci +1

    I really like it, it reminds me of the sculpts from North of the Boarder. The tongue and eyes just need a gloss coat. Wonderful job.

  • @adriandoyle8668
    @adriandoyle8668 Před 9 měsíci

  • @VASM160689
    @VASM160689 Před 9 měsíci

    Really cool paint scheme! I think you got the feeling right, especially with the eyes! 2 things missing though:
    1 - uv resin on the eyes! Make them shiny!
    2- some uhu slobber dripping from teeth and tongue!! THEN it would be the creepiest thing.
    Maaaaybe some blood splatters. Nuat maybe.
    Good job!

  • @guitargodzilla
    @guitargodzilla Před 9 měsíci

    Idea for a video... choose a subscriber at random to send you a mini they painted to give pointers to and then build on their paint job to show how it could end up using the suggestions you give... no stripping and re-starting ..only adding and refining.

  • @canisianfalls8618

    @magnusmillerwilson Před 9 měsíci

    I see people over and over in love with KDM models. I like the style and … adultness?… of KDM, but the scarcity and price tag is off putting even more than GWs false scarcity business model. Great video! I loved the color combos and it looked marvelously restorative and freeing to layer up the highlights by doing color combinations of the crazy base tones you laid down with the airbrush. Brilliant. I’ll definitely try this sometime! Thank you!

      I'd highly recommend doing that before diving in to PotDK, but if you can't resist the urge you should know that PotDK is FANTASTIC! (We're on LY20 about to face the Gambler for the first time).

  • @MisterTingles
    @MisterTingles Před 9 měsíci

    My brother bought the Cthulhu Death May Die boardgame as a gift for some friends and I've been helping him paint the figures for it, it's such a liberating change of pace from the GW style models that emphasize edges for easy highlighting and stuff, to just put a wacky underpainting on a big monster and riff on the highlights, it's really fun.
    Also, that paint scheme and some of the line quality looks very reminiscent of mural artist Kiptoe there, Jon. I like it a lot 👌

  • @VaultBoy13
    @VaultBoy13 Před 9 měsíci

    The paint job is awesome. It doesn't look clownish or scary though, it just looks cute. But, that's due to the miniature. It looks too much like one of the eels from The Little Mermaid to be scary. Part of the issue might also be that the fingers look too much like the expected ridges to create the body-horror that the game typically aims for. I think it's a really fun model, but it's one of the least horrific KDM bosses that I've seen.

  • @markparkerjr.9001

    I remember learning about the original KDM KS when I was fresh out of college and missing my board game club. It was just outside my funds at the time, and then 1.5 hit and I was in a similar boat lol. Always seeing the GenCon display and the growing catalog. I had no idea there was still unfulfilled pledges. Insane its been 7 years but they earned the trust
