"Everyone wears leather, but there's no cows" no. There are people. Lots and lots of people. #grimdark

OMG she is MOM! That was a glass shattering moment of realization.

Witchhunters are probably my favourite faction in all 40k, specifically the book you've got in this video. I picked it up in the early 2000s and it was so inspiring. The White Dwarf magazine that accompanied the release had a bunch of people's warbands in which would be perfect for kill team.

If GW release a Witchhunters kill team box, I will be there to buy it immediately.

I find that less is more for human faces. I’m a pretty amateur painter, but for my Cadian Guardsmen I just paint their faces a solid skin tone and then bucket on some Army Painter Strong Tone, which looks pretty good to me. Humans see faces in everything even when they aren’t there, so by leaving the details out I rely on the general color, shadows, shade and your own desire to “see” a face where there should be one to fill in the details.

Back in the day, to give these tiny faces good iris, I used colored micro tip pens. Makes all the difference.

I remember the Demon Hunter and Inquisition Codex fondly. Both got me hooked on Warhammer 40K especially Sisters of Battle.

Nice work, Jay, I would have put a thin glaze of black ink over the blue highlights just to blend it in to that black armor a little more. It is Mom from Futurama, now I can't unsee that! 😄

'Absurdly overkill for melting plebs'
I had to listen to that again, such a good passing phrase!!!!

[Sinewmire]

I have the variant with the sword and bolter/crossbow thing. I painted her armour white, her coat red-lined black and the how at her waist a bright red-pink, as it kinda reminded me of a traditional japanese lady's Obi, the waist sash with a bow. I love the fusion of styles and yeah, the look. Her face is hard, especially with the raised gorget.

[samanthalacroix]

I always love your videos! You have an outstanding talent of reminding me why I fell in love with Rouge Trader all those years ago. Keep up the good work!

[EdGarnham]

You guys are a therapeutic interlude in my day and your theme song literally slaps. Much love. ❤

[willmendoza]

I loved my old Inquisition force. So much character and conversion opportunities. Also, the cheap Apocalypse army you could run, money-wise. I would bring my HQ retinue and fill up the rest with orbital bombardments. I didn’t say it was a good list, but it was really fun to had a single squad standing on a hill against an entire horde of enemies, dropping explosions everywhere.

[beng]

Awesome job! Your blending techniques taught me how to do proper fire.

[arielnir]

The Leather probably comes from Groxes: gigantic lizards that are the equivalent to cows as lifestock.

[Sacdaddicus]

From start to finish the difference is staggering. You make it look so easy.

[PsychBurst]

I remember that 3.0–3.5 era very fondly!

Lovely model! Appreciate the grim dark blue armor with the brown cape. While you didn’t like the face, it looks pretty good with it being super old!

[B__C__]

Witch Hunters vs Thousand Sons! A Kill Team treatment would be a great backdoor reentry into 40k. You get an inquisitor and Inquisitor's entourage and some Thousand Sons and some tzaangors, because tzaangors are the new edition's ork nobs. You can have a way, WAY! more than you would ever need of them by accident just by picking up cheap, collector's boxes ;)

As for the face, I think (at least what we see in the video) it's fine. Maybe reign in the lipstick. Maybe a smaller dab (maybe a nouveau-primitive-art deco vertical bar) in a darker shade or color. She's meant to be harsh.

[aubreymcpeak]

just wanted to say great job on that blue armor

[offroadturkey]

Pretty dope! All 20 year old models are amazing!

I've come to the realisation that my happiness is directly proportional to Jay's smile and wave after the titles. The more energetic the hand, and the bigger the grin, the happier I feel. Just FYI...
