“I really like dudes” - Eons of Battle Guy 2024

[don_bernacz]

the removable token is a stroke of genius

[Pyraxian]

As someone who gets stuck on the "ugly phase" of painting a lot: Jay, this looks INCREDIBLE! I loved your explanation of your process; deciding what to pay the most attention to and then sticking with it. That gives me a lot of motivation.

[Morrowman]

5:43 we love you too, Jay ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[adamschorsch]

Awesome job! Only suggestion would be to bury another magnet somewhere on the base for the little thigh critter - that way you know it won’t get lost, plus it becomes a basing element!

When he said "I don't really wanna get up" - I felt that

My big peeve with rules with one off abilities is no token, this is a great way around it!
I made a corrupted Shield Drone from Tau and a load of tyranid bits to mimic the rule and token use of the Ghostkeel and named it Parafex

[I_LOVE_ULTRAMARINES]

I got into the 40k hobby two months ago, and I've been taking your terrains and space marines as inspiration

[jamesdunn]

100% love this style of painting. Great results in a quick way while still looking better than just using contrast paint.
Love the channel. Keep up the great work!

Just completed an Exorcist tank. SO many little details I painted it mostly in small pieces and then assembled as I completed the painting. It turned out gaming ready... no golden daemon in the future, but after 10 years of not painting I am proud of it. I have been watching your tutorials and it helped immensely . Keep rocking these videos!

[RussJS]

Love this video. Always great to watch you lay down paint.

I especially loved your magnetic dude token. About 3 weeks ago, I bought some clear bit shields for my tau. Did a light speedpaint to tint one and add to my riptide.

I then attempted to go to bed, but my mind kept spinning from an idea I couldn’t stop thinking about.

I’ve been needed to add stealth drones to my ghostkel’s. They give the same effect your dude token does. But I didn’t have a good method to make them removable that I liked…. but those shields.

I got out of bed, dug out the stealth drones. Drilled out holes to either side under the wings, then did the same to two shield bits and magnetized them to the drone.

Being able to take the shield off after I use the ability is just sooo cool. Glad to see you had such a similar cool idea!

The drag with big models is real. I have been in this hobby for almost 2 months and I almost have 2 models done because the rule of cool brought me to Chaos Knights. So instead of counting models, I'm trying to focus on counting army points.

[Sturmensky]

I admit, the described monotony of "not done, not done, not done" is part of why I hate batch painting, despite continuing to do it. I only do five or so models at a time these days, but so much of that time is spent blocking in colours or applying the initial (multiple) layers of washes (lacking an airbrush, I use it to build up the initial shading - a sort of reverse zenithal). It's a genuine relief when I get to switch to all the detail work - spending hours building up scratches, chips, and other weathering over different parts. That's the fun stuff. The bit that involves a bit more thinking.

[captainweekend]

I love vehicles because they're one of the few types of unit that I enjoy the process all the way through. I love painting infantry and beasts but I don't really enjoy building them as much, but I really like building and customizing vehicles. I think walker vehicles are the best because they're a great middle ground between the scale model style of painting and the painterly style, I've been working on a gorkanaut recently and it honestly does feel like just painting a big ork minus the green skin!

[Peter_nzl]

Calling a walking and screaming lump of biomass a vehicle is wild.

[manuelmartinezrodriguez]

Saw this come up as I was unboxing my Tyrannofex. It's surely a sign.

[rogerrabbit]

Jay had too much fun popping that grub on and off the Tyrannofex's leg 😂

[davidmountford]

For me I really hated painting vehicles until the new adepta sororitas vehicles came out and now I love/enjoy painting these so much.

[Naddabeht]

This is amazing, I just finished my first tank, it sat in primer for 27 years… I want to buy a Tyranofex next, and this video is perfect timing

[erinaisshu]

I started an all Battlesuit Tau army, I also gotta get over the "only counts as one" feel with that, im still looking forward to it :p
