The three painters that inspire me the most in this hobby are yourself, Fletcher from Tabletop Tactics, and Jay from EoB. Fletcher is one of the most amazing artists I've ever seen. My jaw just drops whenever I see his work. You make everything seems extremely approachable and the results are seriously fantastic while Jay is just so infectiously enthusiastic that it makes you want to get out and paint something. Thanks for all you and the rest of the YT creators do for the hobby.
Easy banners, take a page from scale modelers: thick aluminium foil and then either the decals for the flag, or paper on both sides for freehanding. Easy to pose.
Since I'm back in the Hobby of Miniature Painting is the Green Knight one of the Miniatures I must get my hands on soner or later, because it's a cool Mini and it might be something, that I can integrate in my Collection of Miniatures for D&D.
Wow! Simply stunning work Andy! Thanks for this inspirational video, I was always deterred by the detail on the Green Knight, but OMG! "The less super glue, the stronger the bond", you just explained a LOT of my metal mini failures back in the day. Sigh... well, at least I know now! Thanks again!
I'm not sure about the warhammer lore for the green knight but as far as depictions of real world mythology goes adding some of those seeds that look like in scale fall leaves to the base and maybe a little bit of snow effects to go with that very lush dark green spring grass and that longer pallor summer grass on the base could give you that 4 seasons vibe. Also even if you don't want the snow those fall leaves would make for some extremely punchy contrast with all that green.
Really nice. I think the horse should be called verdigris. I wouldn’t do other knights in this scheme, it’ll make him stand out less, but maybe some space marines? “The Green Knights” could be a Dark Angel successor. :)
the fleur de lys on the reigns could be gold to add some contrast on all that green , and some purple on the armor veeeeeery light shade to make it stand out with a complementary color to that vibrant green...and i would have left the sword silver or instead of a contrast green i would have washed it with some mid green from valejo or citadel ...other than that....perfect ..
18:54 you really should not do uniforms for your Questing or Grail Knights. You really shouldnt. Especially the Grail Knights are few in numbers and basically demi gods. They should be represented that way on the Table as well. Please, please, please do not make them uniform.
15:35 Seriously. What was the fucking point of the 2 previous darker green colors if you're going to do this. This is so redundant. Just start off with this color instead 🤦♀
Great video, amazing work, I'm really enjoying the old world content. It's so nice to see you shout-out other creators and properly credit the inspiration for the work. Super wholesome!
Fantastic work. I wonder if the tesseract glow would be better for the blade. I'm hoping that he becomes available again when the foot knights get released.
Oh wow. What an amazing paint job and the base you created was perfect as well. Such a fitting tribute you have done in doing this amazing piece. Love it. Also, have you any plans for more Middle Earth Monday videos?
Incredible job! I hope they do a made to order on the Green Knight, I want one for my collection, but I also hope they do a redesign in plastic as well, would love to see what they come up with (but not until after the MTO!)
Nice paint job. Personally i prefer the green knights description from the wiki. which describes him as more of a grey greenish statue, with very intense green eyes. The Green Knight painted by gamesworkshop with the green swirls looks like a grannys table cloth 😅 "tinged the greenish-grey of weather-beaten rock, and many would mistake him for a statue but for the unnatural light of his eyes, burning coldly within the darkness of his helm"
If it was me, i'd probably stay away from green for the other knights. So that this one stands out even more, as it should. Having said that... i know what its like when you find a new colour combination that just 'works'.
Yep your not the first to say and that makes sense. But then some other clever clogs said I should paint wood elves with this green. And now I’m going to do that.
So question, you don't feel the need to pin your metal figures? I found that superglue aged poorly and did not talk to lateral pressure so much. I subsequently pinned all my metallics which have now lasted twenty years.
Great content as usual Andy! I’m glad you’re doing bretonnians as I’m starting the painting process on mine and needed inspiration. That green knight is definitely something of a model, I hope GW decides to do a reprint as eBay prices are out of control. Remember seeing it for sale at Warhammer world a few years back alongside a load of bretonnians models and god knows why I didn’t buy it😂
Green Knight is probably the best Knight GW ever created. I have tzwo but one is painted as my bretonnian General in mechrite red / bleached bone and i used the body and head from the second one for a blood bowl blitzer. Still have the horse though.
I was just about to ask where you got your cork from when you said coasters from Ikea haha. I gotta get a bunch to boost my bases. What a gorgeous sculpt he still is this many years later. Gorgeous work! Also, a unit of grail knights dedicated to the GK, 'The Green Order' or something would be awesome
I need one!!! I think you can give yourself a pat on the back, your The Green Knight on The Shadow Steed looks absolutely fantastic. I just wish I was on your level.
No idea why but just realised I haven’t been subbed to you for a while I was wondering where your videos had gone for a long time dropped you a sub again mate great video love the colour
I will be honest i have no intention of playing old world, but you are the only channel i watch regarding old world, in a sea of people who obviously are only doing old world content due to a hype push, i feel you genuinely are excited about the old world, and keep up the great work and excitement!!
Thank you so much. And yes my live does come from a very genuine place. But I’m not that high and mighty. I did all of my epic content for the hype push so I’m not innocent in all of that.
I remember my original Green Knight. Think I followed a tutorial that suggested painting him silver first, then used green washes, which at the time was just Thraka Green, to bring out the details followed by drybrushes and highlights. I think I'll follow this video for my own if I ever get him for the army. I've just ordered the MTO Lord with Lance, the grail Paladin, and the two damsels as my first expansions for my Bretonnian army. I still need to decide which dukedom I'll be hailing from.😅
How did I miss this? Shame on me. Great job Andy. He looks stunning. Just got my made to order Green Knight in the other day and I can't wait to get started on him. Question for you, can you think of a citadel equivalent to that pistachio green? If not that's OK. I'm sure I can figure something out.
Amazing job Andy, this mini was the first one I painted to a standard I was so proud of that I showed it off to anyone that wanted to see, I even entered it in a competition at my flgs. So much nostalgia and still one of the most iconic mins they have ever produced imo. Thanks for making this video, twenty mins of pure joy watching you paint it with your enjoyment and pride in the process just come straight through the video.
Outstanding JOB!! You made this project look EASY!!! I have this model but haven't touched it because i really had no idea how to really tackle it?? It's such a Iconic piece, I wanted do it the justice it deserved. Now I THINK(that's the problem!!!) can pull it off.
That’s exactly what I wanted to hear! Iconic minis often go unpainted because there’s a fear around getting them done “right”- it doesn’t have to be crazy complicated! So glad you have confidence to paint yours now, let me know how it goes!

Nice work. Totally agree the TTT one looks awesome and what a great sculpt
It’s such a cool piece of Warhammer history now!
Fantastic job, Andy.
Cheers pal.

Well currently it isn’t available but I’m hoping they bring it back soon for the return of the old world.
Fletcher is a painting beast. His Angron caught my eye initially. A very talented artist.
He really is. Such a nice guy.
Those flags look amazing!
Thanks so much!
I've got an original Green Knight! Im very excited to get him done now. Great video! Thanks!
Anytime pal.
Wow! Simply stunning work Andy! Thanks for this inspirational video, I was always deterred by the detail on the Green Knight, but OMG! "The less super glue, the stronger the bond", you just explained a LOT of my metal mini failures back in the day. Sigh... well, at least I know now! Thanks again!
Hahahhaa anytime pal.
Noice! You did a great paint job on it! Looks brill.
Glad you like it!
I’m only a couple minutes in but it was surprisingly satisfying watching the mini have the paint removed 😅
Hahaha I know rite.
"I don't know about horses......" sounds sacrilegeous, coming from an Irishman ;-) Great work Andy!
Hahhahaha I’m Dublin borne and bread so a city slicker in Irish terms. Lol.
I'm not sure about the warhammer lore for the green knight but as far as depictions of real world mythology goes adding some of those seeds that look like in scale fall leaves to the base and maybe a little bit of snow effects to go with that very lush dark green spring grass and that longer pallor summer grass on the base could give you that 4 seasons vibe. Also even if you don't want the snow those fall leaves would make for some extremely punchy contrast with all that green.
Ye the falling leaves is a great idea. Thanks pal.
Nice paint job. Wonder when gw going to release one
Hopefully with the second set of Bret releases.
Hmm instead of that ak green, would ogryn camo work?
@@tien65 kind of but it’s not the same. To be honest I don’t own any colour like it.
@@MediocreHobbies haha all good. It would be a waste just getting that paint for painting one unit lol
Really nice. I think the horse should be called verdigris. I wouldn’t do other knights in this scheme, it’ll make him stand out less, but maybe some space marines? “The Green Knights” could be a Dark Angel successor. :)
I think you mite be rite there.
It's one of those rare sculpts that holds a 'less is more' scheme equally as well as a grown up thirty hour blended scheme.
Agreed 100%
Isn't that methalted spirits you stripted it in? No big deal either way just curious
It is indeed. I said the wrong thing didn’t o?
nice video, not too keen on that base though. Double cork bottom, is he compansating for something?
Gotta have a nice high base so my characters stand out. It’s a sickness I have.
the fleur de lys on the reigns could be gold to add some contrast on all that green , and some purple on the armor veeeeeery light shade to make it stand out with a complementary color to that vibrant green...and i would have left the sword silver or instead of a contrast green i would have washed it with some mid green from valejo or citadel ...other than that....perfect ..
HahahHa the other then that part made me laugh. I’d swear you wanted me to change everything lool.
What did u use strip ur paint and can u use it on plastic and resin minis I'm trying find what liquid to use to remove all the paint and primer.
Methylated spirits and no you cannot.
@MediocreHobbies thank u sir but what do u prefer on plastic models
18:54 you really should not do uniforms for your Questing or Grail Knights. You really shouldnt. Especially the Grail Knights are few in numbers and basically demi gods. They should be represented that way on the Table as well. Please, please, please do not make them uniform.
The unit will for sure be uniform. Eveybody can make there models how ever they like pal. And order units to match.
@@MediocreHobbies of course you can do what ever you want but i'd hoped to convince you not do it. Well, i failed obviously :D
They can simultaneously be unique heroes while choosing to wear the same tabards for one battle mate.
@@bremer1701 hahahahahhaa you sure did.
15:35 Seriously. What was the fucking point of the 2 previous darker green colors if you're going to do this. This is so redundant. Just start off with this color instead 🤦♀
Maybe sit outside and have a banana.
Stunning!!!👏👏👏👏The Green Knight was my favourite Brettonian character. His horse's name is Binky, same as Death's in Terry Prachett's books. 😂😂
Binky…… how did I forget that.
Great video, amazing work, I'm really enjoying the old world content. It's so nice to see you shout-out other creators and properly credit the inspiration for the work. Super wholesome!
I feel it is only rite. Plus his stuff is amazing and deserves as much attention as possible.
Fantastic work. I wonder if the tesseract glow would be better for the blade.
I'm hoping that he becomes available again when the foot knights get released.
Perhaps yes.
Oh wow. What an amazing paint job and the base you created was perfect as well. Such a fitting tribute you have done in doing this amazing piece. Love it. Also, have you any plans for more Middle Earth Monday videos?
I do indeed it’s just old world steeling my attention rite now.
Incredible job! I hope they do a made to order on the Green Knight, I want one for my collection, but I also hope they do a redesign in plastic as well, would love to see what they come up with (but not until after the MTO!)
Yes both would be so nice.
Amazing looking model, and thanks for detailing how you did the basing. I feel like I never do a good job with basing so any tips are much appreciated
Glad you liked it pal. And yes I shall try include the basing more often.
My new GW green knight came with the paper banners. Have you used paper banners in any of your other videos?
Nope but I will be doing a mounted yeoman video soon and will be doing there paper banner.
Beautiful paint job, Andy!
Cheers.
Great decission on the banners. This are more flawless than the original ones. Awesome job with the paint.
Cheers pal.
Beautiful job, he really does stand out on the table. Was wondering, have you finished up all your LotR sets?
Hahahahah god no. I have 1000s of lord of the rings models to do still I shall be painting them for years.
Mate that looks awesome! I just bought a 3D printed version on Etsy to paint up!
Nice. Enjoy it pal.
If the green knight is based on Sir Gawain, then the horse is called Gringolet.
That’s cool
What was the ingredients of the pain't removed from the miniature
Replied to your other comment pal.
Bretonnian Knights don’t wear green out of respect for the green knight
Hmmm is that actual lore. I guess it makes sense.
Nice paint job.
Personally i prefer the green knights description from the wiki. which describes him as more of a grey greenish statue, with very intense green eyes. The Green Knight painted by gamesworkshop with the green swirls looks like a grannys table cloth 😅
"tinged the greenish-grey of weather-beaten rock, and many would mistake him for a statue but for the unnatural light of his eyes, burning coldly within the darkness of his helm"
That sounds so cool. Are you going to do one up like that?
@@MediocreHobbies if I can get my hands on one 👀
I have a feeling that we may get a new sculpt of the green knight soon
God I hope so. It would look amazing.
If it was me, i'd probably stay away from green for the other knights. So that this one stands out even more, as it should. Having said that... i know what its like when you find a new colour combination that just 'works'.
Yep your not the first to say and that makes sense. But then some other clever clogs said I should paint wood elves with this green. And now I’m going to do that.
@@MediocreHobbies Yes! Best solution!
Always been an exclusively 40K guy but this channel making it hard!!!
I’m in no way sorry lol.
So question, you don't feel the need to pin your metal figures? I found that superglue aged poorly and did not talk to lateral pressure so much. I subsequently pinned all my metallics which have now lasted twenty years.
Nope don’t feel pinning is all it’s cracked up to be. I’ve never had a problem
@@MediocreHobbies Fair enough.
ryza rust on the base is a great idea i need to try that on my dirts
You should it works a treat.
Stunning results! That green was perfect. Cracking job Andy! Laura for the win tho with the banner 👍🏼
Yep it wouldn’t have worked without those banners.
I have a lot of miniatures that need to be striated down
It’s just methylated spirits. Or get nail varnish remover with acetone in it. But only use it for metal miniatures.
Green is a peasants color per the bretonnia books.
Oh I kind of remember that. I need to double check.
awesome! Now that takes me back good job
Thanks so much! Yeah it’s a real nostalgia hit!
Great content as usual Andy! I’m glad you’re doing bretonnians as I’m starting the painting process on mine and needed inspiration.

Ye rookie mistake there not grabbing him I’m sure he will get brought back as he is in there journal. Thanks for the kind words pal m
Could you please do a tutorial for slaves of darkness varanguard 😁
I do have some to build here somewhere.
@@MediocreHobbies it would be very much appreciated and helpful, thank you

OLD WORLD OLD WORLD OLD WORLD
Now and forever.
Looks fantastic mate
Thanks pal.
You smashed it!
Appreciate that.
nice
Cheers.
Looks absolutely cracking Andy, superb - just superb!
Glad you enjoyed it, and thank you!
👍
Cheers pal.
I have the paper banners in my box I just received last week, so they definitely still make them.
Lucky duck.

Cheers pal. Its was so hard to find the rite once.
I need one!!! I think you can give yourself a pat on the back, your The Green Knight on The Shadow Steed looks absolutely fantastic. I just wish I was on your level.
You are pal. Just gotta trust the process.
Great video! What is that big wooden moving-castle looking model at the start of the video?
It’s an empire land ship. I did a bunch of videos on it.
No idea why but just realised I haven’t been subbed to you for a while I was wondering where your videos had gone for a long time dropped you a sub again mate great video love the colour
Welcome back 😄 you probably have a lot to catch up on now! Glad you liked the video!
Yeah gonna jump back in to making videos again been to long
One of my all time favourite minis i need to get a hold of one
Yes you do and yes it is.
Fantastic work! The Green Knight has always been one of my favourite Fantasy Models, that I sadly never owned - so fingers crossed for re-release
I’m sure he will be brought back. He is in there arcane journal.
You keep making this old world content and I’ll keep liking and commenting! Another great vid Andy!
HahahHa deal.
The forward banners really did make it! Well done.
Cheers pal. I do love how it turned out.
for what it's worth, the one currently on the website comes with two separate sets of banners!
Oh does it? Hmm
For The Lady!

That very kind pal. Thank you.
I love your choice of greens! I think its exactly what I want to use for my wood elves. Orion would look amazing in these shades
And now there the colours I will be using for my wood elves lol.
