This is one of my favorite videos that you have done in a while. Thank you for sticking with the painting. Too many channels want to become too diverse and do different stuff than what we all fell in love with them for. You’re the best!
@ it’s creators like you that keep my painting style and skill evolving. You genuinely show me interesting new ways to give a try. As a dad with little time to paint, I just get a ton of enjoyment at least seeing someone else share such fun and impressive paint schemes.
@@emeraldanvilI can totally relate to your comment about the secondary or vicarious enjoyment of watching someone who’s really good at doing something that you also do. It’s frustrating to not always have time to paint, or to have physical limitations that sometimes make it difficult or stressful, but it’s great to have a large number of RUclips channels that are hobby-focused to watch. This channel, and a few others like Lil’ Legend and Ataraxia are among my favorites. 👍🏻
@TheArmyPainter, this is an awesome concept and product... I can't wait for the Ninjon version to come out 😊... in the meantime, I'll be getting these!
It is a simple but learned practice. For those of us who grew up painting other things than miniatures blending with wet paint come natural and give a very great look. Like painting a sunset or water. Painting with water color or oils. I always use a glazing medium when blending to have a gradual high light.
your hint about always pushing your highlights one step over what you think it should be has been incredibly helpful coming back into mini painting after a 25+ year hiatus - thanks Jon!
Holy, the transition from slapping a bunch of paint around the model to the end result what quite astonishing. At first I thought you were messing around and then it started to blend and come together for the end result. Makes me think of Sergio Calvo who does something along those lines. Great work!
There needs to be a name given to this painting style because it always fascinates me whenever I come across it. I always have a question if is possible to paint whole armies like this out is it too of the cuff to file a process?
This. I was like what in the F is he doing and then it alllll came together. Amazing! And these paints are awesome!!!! Can’t wait for someone to paint what they were MADE FOR: BLACK TEMPLARS!!!!!!!!!! 😂
I have to say, this is one of the most beautiful paint jobs you've done to date - - and that's saying something! The colors are incredibly harmonious, and came together a simultaneously bold and subtle melange. It really came together! Bravo!
I like how much the final piece looks like a piece of art instead of a well painted miniature which of course it is. I think you have shown of how well these two volumes work as a paint set on their own and I haven´t seen anyone else do that so far. Superb work.
Are they actually good now? I say this not to throw shade, but I used army painter paints about 10 years ago and it really put me off using them. Would you recommend them now?
@@hobes6845 Absolutely, no question. Their new formula has put them on the top of my list of paints. Definitely claiming a spot among the best paint companies available for sure.
@@hobes6845 Yes I would They have been listening to the customer base and made changes based on what we said. they also have the best starter set on the market right now.. They included a primer with the set!!
@@hobes6845I have a pretty big paint collection including citadel, Vallejo, army painter fanatic, pro acryl and some AK interactive. I got the army painter fanatic “mega set” when it first came out and have used it quite a lot since then. They are 100% good to go and can hang with the best paints out there. Flows very nicely, covers well, no complaints. The only thing I’d keep in mind is that there are some colors that are less saturated in the fanatic range compared to some other ranges, for example I still wind up reaching for bright saturated reds and oranges from other lines. They are undoubtedly a huge improvement from their previous ranges and worth trying
Army painter really has stepped up their game. I find myself using more and more of their colors now, they're just damn awesome! This blanche set is amazing as well.
I remember reading in either white dwarf or warhammer visions years ago that blanche uses heavy amounts of oil paints and oil washes for his style. This method is what gives his models their signiture griminess, and let's him complete a model in under 1-2 hours.
I love the attitude you approached this paint set with. Quite frankly the end result is stunning and considering this was a jaunt of fun exploration it really could be a golden demon piece for it's originality and beauty. Love your channel and highly respect your talent and the love both yourself and the army painter have for the hobby. Amazing work!
Absolutely perfect! I love how the colors blend together so wonderfully for having such bold contrasts. The dramatic lighting effect is very much appreciated. I get the feeling this rider's being lit up by artillery fire somewhere out of frame. I'd love to see more models painted with this paintset in the future. An entire blanchian army would be glorious to see!
This video makes me realize I'm way too conservative with my colours. I didn't expect a bunch of random colours to work out so great. Thanks for the inspiration!
I love how even with this set of colors, Jon finds a way to have his red flesh undertone show through. It's such a unique thing that lets me know a piece is Jon's and I love it. Great vid as always!
That’s one of the most gorgeous paint jobs I’ve seen in a long while. To have the vision to combine those colours and create those effects is just mind blowing. Totally awestruck.
Jon, I absolutely love how this was painted dude. Very artistic and fun. Loving the use of colours too. Nice little peice right there. Thanks for the quality content as always. We all appreciate how much time and effort goes into these video's. Quarter of a million subs! That's great! :)
I learned so much in this video. I am actually surprised at how much this video changed my thought process and gave me ideas for painting monsters that could use color variation and interest. I usually find those hard to paint because they don’t have as many segmented details as humanoid miniatures. Thanks! Makes me really excited to see what else you have in store for the warrior masterclass. It will be next after the witch 🧙♀️ Happy New Year! Keep being awesome
Usually, I sit back and watch videos about products with some skepticism but this video in particular was amazing! I mean seriously John Blanche working with The Army Painter to bring his color schemes to life. Also, Ninjon that model turned out beautifully! When I saw the final product my jaw dropped as it could be the centerpiece to an army or a squad. Heck, honestly I would just love it to sit on a shelf and look amazing! It makes me really want to try my hand at Blanche’s style (it will probably not turn out as cool as yours but worth a shot 😆) Anyways, thank you for show casing the paint set, cool new models and also a 3D printing ad (which I have already ordered a Bambu Mini myself)
5:29 such a fun video, but especially here. I’d be happy with most models at this stage, and it’s achievable through mostly basing/wet-blending (and a lot of knowledge). Inspiring work 🙏 going to try on my next project
At so many points in this video my mind was brought to the art from the graphic novel "The City," by James Herbert. All the mini needed was two rust red armoured war dogs running beside the horse!
Haha I thought about this too. Missed opportunity! But who knows, maybe John wanted to work with a European brand. Either way I use both brands. They’re awesome
My Corgi barks at all animal actors on tv, especially horses. He glanced up while I was watching this video and started barking his head off. That mini is so realistic yet grimdark. Great Job!
Fantastic work Johns! really enjoyed your approach to this! this style of painting is something I really want to emulate as well. The second your vid finished I was straight on the army painter website pre ordering this set! Thank you again.
Do more videos like this! It's quite possibly my favourite thing you've done. Watching you talk us through and trying to reproduce the styles and palettes of other artists/painters would be brilliant.
Amazing looking model, very much inspiring me to decide to step out of my comfort zone of "mass production" style painting I have always been sitting myself in out of fear of not knowing what I am doing and and looking to buy the sets for my own Death Korps when they come. I always loved Blanches style and to see a relatively "safe" way to get into it is great as someone who cant buy 200 paints they never use. I would love to see you do a similar paint job on the other Death Korps models such as the engineers and artillery in this style too.
really love that colors that initially were confusing as additions became clear in their harmony as soon as you use them. Really shows how talented an artist Blanch is. It's like looking closely at a Frazetta, there're always colors tucked away where they don't make sense, but they work perfectly. You're doing great work. I'm learning a ton from watching.
Thanks Ninjon. Following your videos made me a better painter. Experimenting and having fun is the key. This rider comes straight out of a dust storm. I bet he could trigger a Geiger counter.
I just pre ordered both sets. Id love to see some painting tutoris from blanche or even AP staff (as long as they are teaching HIS techniques specific to using these paints) Im not really into what modern mini painters "call" Grimdark (models covered in oil/enamel washes, looking very dingy. With intentionally sloppy painting techniqie to give a build up of texture almost akin to how real canvas painters build up layers of paint to create visual effects etc..sometimes it looks great but often just too muddy for me.) I play grey knights and ultrasmurfs, both of which are proud clean imperial astartes that i want portrayed moreso how propoganda eould show them) However, these grimdark zorn pallete type paint selections are 100% up my alley. You dont have to make super dirty models for dark blues, greens, olive etc.. or the ruddy brown/ochres to stand out.
@@overlordmarkusThat would be great. Id love to see some techniques to use these on miniatures from JB. Im also curious about the free brush they included in the sets. The brush is labelled as "Dipits most magnificentest brush" (dipit is their red gobbo type goblin mascot). Wonder if its actually any decent. (Youd think it would be if they label it sp grandiosely lol) Especially simce ypu get two if you buy both sets.
That is what I'm thinking. Ninjon of course makes it look easy because he is an awesome painter but an average joe like me would just be sucking a lot of thumb with a palette like this.
I watched this video twice back to back to get all the details. Thank you for the tip about looking at your paint projects in the garage or living room.
That the second John Blanche themed video I see on your channel. And... It's the second time I'm so blown away!! I think these are the one where the true artist in you shine the most and not only the hobbyist.I really love to see your videos as you often take the hobby from the side and allow us to think from another point of view. But these two.... So beautiful.... Have a nice day!!!
can't wait for the terrain painting video! Your Krieg guy looks sick! You've put in the work and its been wonderful following you on your painting journey. thanks for the videos!
An amazing paint job, it truly inspires me with the abandon you go with at the base coat level and the awesome effects you come out with in the end. Thanks
One of your best episodes in my opinion. Really enjoyed the freedom you used in using so many colors and watching such an artistic refinement process. I usually don’t invest in color sets, but this one seems really special. Blanchitsu!
Like many out there, I thought the whole "Blanchitsu" thing focused on cold, desaturated color schemes and I was pleasantly surprised to discover that was not the case. Then again, I'm not near the GW fanboy that some out there are, so it's to be expected that I didn't know that. That horsie looks great, Jon! Wet blending is another technique I've dabbled in that I'd like to improve at and yours is excellent, IMO.
In an interview, Rick priestly basically said, “when we were writing X book, I was ready to do away with crediting anyone specifically” (including himself,) but John stood firm and said, “do what you want with writers and designers, but the artists WILL be credited for their pieces.” Rick then decided to keep crediting everyone. So it was either John himself sticking to an industry standard at the time, or by sheer force of personality we know who did what back then. I imagine the people who GW employ with any force of personality today is more likely a lawyer than a creative. If they had a big talent matched with just as much personality, it would be nearly impossible to keep them contained in the corporate walls. Plus, look at the product. It’s very good and unless I’ve missed something, all very safe and controlled.
@@AP-hv9ll The sculptors were credited in the 2000s. Somewhere around 2010 or after they stopped doing so (so many famous sculptors left the company and founded their owns). And I don't understand why they do that, what is for them to lose
@@andresperedo1275 Honestly I can see the reason why, it's twofold, one the one hand it's to stop people from getting popular off the back of their work from GW and going and establishing their own brands, and the other is to make it harder for people being tracked down by the community when they make something that angry fans don't like. If you look at Duncan Rhodes, he managed to turn producing painting tutorials for GW's youtube channel into not only his own independent venture, but also came out with a personally branded paint range. GW don't want to lose talent by basically acting as a springboard for people to gain popularity and start producing their own brands that eat into GW's market share. The protection from fans one is a bit iffy, but nowadays when everyone has a social media and is easy to find, and people get genuinely riled up over mini designs changing, it's understandable.
I am not really sure what to say... except that this looks bonkers good! Absolutely amazing! I can't wrap my head around the way you used those colours but the result is mind blowing 🤯 This is quite far from the models I usually admire, but I actually think this might be the coolest paintjob I have ever seen 👌 I am painting armies on not models, so I am not sure I will need all of these paints, but some of them will definately find their way onto my painting desk 👍
Wow, stunning result. What a wonderful confluence of mini, paint, inspiration and artist! Also you provide extremely clear insight into your creative process, which is a tough thing to do. Great video, I'm subscribing for sure.
Every time I try and pull something like this paint scheme i end up messing it up and not getting the result I really wanted. Love your videos, they always make me push myself... can't wait to get my hands on these paints and push my skills to beyond a noob painter.
This was easily the most inspiring hobby video I have seen in years! Jon, it would be fun to see another one using these paints where you revisit painting grimdark with these colors, and what you think should be added to this set that also matches the color scheme. (Enamels, Oils and texture?)
Hey Jon - I found this style of painting very inspiring - thank you for sharing. I now want to try slapping on some colors onto my models, then working up the shadows and highlights to see what kind of cool artistic effects will emerge. I suck at color schemes - so that may be the only thing that stops me. Maybe I should just be brave.
I've seen several videos using this new set of paints. Jon, yours really shows how fantastic these paints are! Great job. Can't wait to get my hands on these box sets.
It took me seeing these being used to actually paint a model to "get" the colour choices. This looks really, really good. Also, the grim rust bottle looks like a Sriracha bottle.
Excellent video. Ironically the main takeaway for me was the idea to view your minis in less-than-ideal lighting to see if you've successfully highlighted them. I was sitting in my hobby space with low-lights, so I picked up a few of my WIPs while the video was rolling and saw the areas that needed more highlights. In my ideal lighting, I had thought that they were already super punched up but clearly not!
That was such an amazing model! I can’t get over how awesome that paint job is. I’m sure that the set helped in terms of color selection, but your application of those colors is jaw-dropping.
The colors look as though they are based off the Zorn pallette. I used to paint portraits only with the Zorn pallette with the inclusion of Prussian blue.
It could use some leopard print or tiger stripes for a blanch mini but otherwise looks awesome :D I'm so glad John got his own paint set, its about damn time! now we just need a Miller pen or inks set...
I love how it came out and it was amazing how all the colors played so well together. The only part that didn't make much sense to me was the neck of the horse in the back as it came too warm compared with the rest, but that is just me. And as always, a really enjoyable video, thanks!!!

Agree!! Ninjon and Miniac are the Goats, I'm here for the painting!
Agreed!
I mean, the montage music absolutely slaps! Beautiful Death Rider, Ninjon. I think this would make Mr. Blanche happy.
@TheArmyPainter, this is an awesome concept and product... I can't wait for the Ninjon version to come out 😊... in the meantime, I'll be getting these!
Great job guys on this set! This is a slam dunk!
Will this set always be available for purchase, or is it limited?
@@SmashingSnowwe plan on supporting the legacy of John Blanche for a long time so you can expect to see singles available later in the year.
@@TheArmyPainter That's great to hear. I assume that also means they will be sold as a set as well for the foreseeable future?
im always so amazed whenever I see experienced painters just whip out the large brush, wetblend colors and somehow get amazing colors out of it
It is a simple but learned practice. For those of us who grew up painting other things than miniatures blending with wet paint come natural and give a very great look. Like painting a sunset or water. Painting with water color or oils. I always use a glazing medium when blending to have a gradual high light.

Never heard of you before.
Time to Google you.
At so many points in this video my mind was brought to the art from the graphic novel "The City," by James Herbert. All the mini needed was two rust red armoured war dogs running beside the horse!
Great book
There is a line of models out there that take a big inspiration from that style
Think it was called the traveler?? But not 100%
Pro acryl dropping special sets from RUclips guys, and then army painter drops the Big Guy himself lol. Amazing.

You have really grown artistically as a painter over the years. It has been fun to watch and inspiring to see you try new things.
Im in love with this paint set Mr. Blanche was the Warhammer i grew up with and fell in love with. Cant wait to get mine.
The best video about this paintset so far. Great work John!!! Both of You 😉😊
I watched this video twice back to back to get all the details. Thank you for the tip about looking at your paint projects in the garage or living room.

It’s outstanding to watch this guy continue to pump out these amazing painting montages. Such a visual treat.
I love this paint style. Would really love to see more of it!
I really wish that the modern artists behind the success of GW will eventually get credit for their work. It sucks that GW robs them of credit
I guess it's just easier to "hire and fire" them that way. Duncan Rhodes left for a reason!

If they had a big talent matched with just as much personality, it would be nearly impossible to keep them contained in the corporate walls. Plus, look at the product. It’s very good and unless I’ve missed something, all very safe and controlled.
@@AP-hv9ll The sculptors were credited in the 2000s. Somewhere around 2010 or after they stopped doing so (so many famous sculptors left the company and founded their owns). And I don't understand why they do that, what is for them to lose
@@andresperedo1275 Honestly I can see the reason why, it's twofold, one the one hand it's to stop people from getting popular off the back of their work from GW and going and establishing their own brands, and the other is to make it harder for people being tracked down by the community when they make something that angry fans don't like. If you look at Duncan Rhodes, he managed to turn producing painting tutorials for GW's youtube channel into not only his own independent venture, but also came out with a personally branded paint range. GW don't want to lose talent by basically acting as a springboard for people to gain popularity and start producing their own brands that eat into GW's market share. The protection from fans one is a bit iffy, but nowadays when everyone has a social media and is easy to find, and people get genuinely riled up over mini designs changing, it's understandable.
I am not really sure what to say... except that this looks bonkers good! Absolutely amazing! I can't wrap my head around the way you used those colours but the result is mind blowing 🤯 This is quite far from the models I usually admire, but I actually think this might be the coolest paintjob I have ever seen 👌
I am painting armies on not models, so I am not sure I will need all of these paints, but some of them will definately find their way onto my painting desk 👍
wow, what a nice paint job on this model! Great color scheme!
The miniature is absolutely nuts but the paint work it’s astonishing!!! Big inspiration 💪💪
Those colors are really fantastic! And we'll painted model too🎉🎉
Wow, stunning result. What a wonderful confluence of mini, paint, inspiration and artist! Also you provide extremely clear insight into your creative process, which is a tough thing to do. Great video, I'm subscribing for sure.
Every time I try and pull something like this paint scheme i end up messing it up and not getting the result I really wanted. Love your videos, they always make me push myself... can't wait to get my hands on these paints and push my skills to beyond a noob painter.
This was easily the most inspiring hobby video I have seen in years! Jon, it would be fun to see another one using these paints where you revisit painting grimdark with these colors, and what you think should be added to this set that also matches the color scheme. (Enamels, Oils and texture?)
Just wow. Really enjoyed this video and you have inspired me to change how I paint. Thank you
Hey Jon - I found this style of painting very inspiring - thank you for sharing. I now want to try slapping on some colors onto my models, then working up the shadows and highlights to see what kind of cool artistic effects will emerge. I suck at color schemes - so that may be the only thing that stops me. Maybe I should just be brave.
I've seen several videos using this new set of paints. Jon, yours really shows how fantastic these paints are! Great job. Can't wait to get my hands on these box sets.
Hey there Ninjon! I love the way you painted this kriegsman, keep up the good work I love watching your videos while I paint after a long day!
That's a spectacular piece ! I really love it and I will do my best to paint something in this manner.
Wow, Jon - that looks fantastic! You're skill is improving with each and every model - kudos.
Amazing result!!! Really impressed and surprised by the mix of colors used!!! I need to try that on my next figure!!!
Gawd how good would a fully themed and painted army look on the tabletop. Like a Blanche painting in 3D. Well done Ninjon, one of your best!
Honestly one of the best models you've painted. Stellar effort and the best video that shows what these paint sets can produce.
You rock!!! This paint job is another level!!! 😍
absolutely beautiful work, a fine tribute to blanche while the end result is still clearly ninjon.
kudos!
Been watching for years - definitely my favourite paint scheme! Well done sir!
I've never wanted to use army painter but these have blown me away they look absolutly amazing and I can't wait to buy them
I have been exclusively using army paints since the fanatic range. Minus a few colors, I think it's easily the best paint on the market right now.
Man it was YOUR take on this painting set I was waiting for to pull the trigger 🎉
One of the best paint jobs I've seen on your channel. Amazing work!
Great looking paints, amazing paint job! But of course, expect nothing less! 🤘🏼🔥🔥🤘🏼
Thanks for the great demo and review of these sets. I am looking forward to playing around with these!
It’s sorta weird that I enjoyed the “ad” part of this so much 😂 the terrain prints look amazing! Oh and the folding terrain is genius.
Yeah, was surprised to see these paint sets come out but happy to see them. Lucky you on the new DKK models..
Great to see a review using the product as intended and explaining it as you go. Excellent
Wow, very nice! You used a painting style I can't remember the name of, that I think is really neat.
It took me seeing these being used to actually paint a model to "get" the colour choices. This looks really, really good.
Also, the grim rust bottle looks like a Sriracha bottle.
Jon that is reaaaaaally special. You made it yours and honored the inspiration!
Love this paint job. Now I want to start a new army and buy more paints… just what I need 😂
Excellent video. Ironically the main takeaway for me was the idea to view your minis in less-than-ideal lighting to see if you've successfully highlighted them. I was sitting in my hobby space with low-lights, so I picked up a few of my WIPs while the video was rolling and saw the areas that needed more highlights. In my ideal lighting, I had thought that they were already super punched up but clearly not!
That was great. Kind of wild seeing how messy that first batch of painting is, but how it all works so well.
Love the way you mixed and match the paints, love this stil .. can't do it myself I get to hung up.
That was such an amazing model! I can’t get over how awesome that paint job is. I’m sure that the set helped in terms of color selection, but your application of those colors is jaw-dropping.
The colors look as though they are based off the Zorn pallette. I used to paint portraits only with the Zorn pallette with the inclusion of Prussian blue.
This range is stunning.....well my wallet is ready.... and crying...well done @TheArmyPainter and very well painted @Ninjon 😂😂😂😂
It could use some leopard print or tiger stripes for a blanch mini but otherwise looks awesome :D
I'm so glad John got his own paint set, its about damn time!
now we just need a Miller pen or inks set...
Hey ninjon I’m about to build my first painting/airbrush area could you go over what your favorite things to use for airbrush like you did 2 years ago
Been excited about these sets. Nice to see a review that truly demonstrates what they can achieve!
I love how it came out and it was amazing how all the colors played so well together. The only part that didn't make much sense to me was the neck of the horse in the back as it came too warm compared with the rest, but that is just me. And as always, a really enjoyable video, thanks!!!
Easily one of my favorite pieces you've painted. Amazing.
what a awesome piece. my socks are literally in a outer space right now.
great video.
That came out really really nice!! The enjoyment came through in the art.
Holy cow, Jon. Just... wow. You have completely changed the way I think about color.
