Your videos are like receiving a letter twice a year from a dear old friend. You don't really expect it, but it always happens and makes you feel good every time.
That is far too kind. Hopefully get another letter or two out this year
That's a beautiful comparison and a very fitting notion!
@@BlindedbyDaylightWell, there's still the outstanding suggestion of turning a Necron into a Star Quest Android ;)
Such a great idea @@AquamentusZero
@EvualLavea thank you!
Next time: Blinded by Daylight takes a pocket calculator and makes a working golden throne.
Amazing work. Mind blowing.
😂 amazing, thank you
Dude, you’re like the hive mind. You literally took a genestealer and made a new form from it like you spliced together stands of DNA to make what the hive fleet needed. Your work… awesome as ever.
Thanks Alex! Yeah, I guess I'm a norn queen?
Yass Queen... @@BlindedbyDaylight
@@taenaran😂
The levels of vision, design, crafting, and painting in these videos are always astounding
Thank you Jared, really appreciate it
@@BlindedbyDaylight Appreciate all your work! Keep them coming!
@jaredsmith4507 no plans to stop just yet 😉
Truly flawless, as always! The reveal at the end was Chefs Kiss!
Thank you, I'm never sure if the reveal works or not. Really pleased you are liking the format
You've outdone yourself yet again. What an amazing job, sculpting and painting. Just wow!
(And I always celebrate each "BAKE!")
Thank you! Was really a bit unsure about this project, really pleased you liked it 😊
@@BlindedbyDaylight fantastic work. you have inspired me to try to make my own mcfarlane 40k conversions, too [el'sda2].
@@lemsdarkapprentice2535 amazing, what are you working on?
Utterly extraordinary! Your unnering eye for design, form and aesthetics is unmatched. The Lovecraft/Geiger blend is just perfection and the OSL paintjob takes it to the next level. Every hat is off to you sir!!!
Thank you Owen! That is some high praise indeed! 😊 Thank you
Mate this is BEAUTIFUL i am in the process of converting some other than space marine macfarlane models myself and WOW your work just floors me, Again Beautiful
Oooh amazing, what are you working on?
insane, the reveal in the end, incredible work of sculpt and painting. Also that little easter egg, can't wait to see chaos back to the menu
....don't worry, a lot of chaos projects planned. Thanks for the kind words and for watching bud
It was absolutely a treat watching this premiere, I swear your conversions get more and more impressive with each video.
Thank you, have I set myself up for a fall? Next video, converting yarn into gloves 😅
@@BlindedbyDaylight Hell, I'd still watch it!
McFarland needs to hire him for sculpts. He had more vision than the people working for the company.
@@Mistheart101😂
@matt80_s too kind thank you
This is so god damn amazing, just wow. You've truly been blessed by the Four-Armed Emperor and embraced his gifts. Absolutely tremendous job as always :)
I'd be careful of all that four armed emperor talk... the inquisition are always watching
One word 'incredible' !!! Your sculpting, mind-blowing. Your painting is beautiful. I love watching your videos.
Cheers Gary! Great to see you have stuck around while I worked on this project
Absolutely fantastic as always
Thank you Magnus 😊
Wow. So this must be the most extensive remake/conversion you've shown us to date. The painting really highlights all the intricate detail you put into this horror and it's looking beyond imagination good. The way you worked in the tubing in such an horrifically biological way and the glow painting, just, mwah.
Also, you're getting way better at not burning your sculpey.
Thank you Jeni Sard! Am I getting better at burning my sculpey, or am I getting better and hiding it 🤔 😉
Thank you for introducing me to new materials I have never heard of! Cosclay... what?!
Cosclay is amazing stuff David, if you can get your hands on some I'd say its a game changer 😉
@@BlindedbyDaylight Did I see correctly that you mixed the Cosplay with sculpt? was that to give it flexibility instead of being so brittle? Great job on the build.
This is one of the coolest things you've done 🎉 incredible work. Always wait for the post-credit sequence 😄
Thanks bud! Really pleased you stuck around for that 😊
your artwork will never cease to be incredibly impressive.
Thank you Dan!
For premium figures these things sure don't come in premium quality. Love your videos
Cheers buddy. They are pretty sturdy, but they do indeed need a lot of work to get them to a good standard
As always a piece of art!! Creativity at its best!! Greetings from tijuana mexico
Thank you! And hello to you in Mexico!
About eight minutes into the video I decided to joke that 2/3 of the figure is parts sculpted by you... then realized that 2/3 would be an understatement.
Very impressive work.
Thank you! There was a lot to do on this guy, but it turned out ok in the end. Thanks for watching another video 😊
This video has taught me more about sculpting than all my other studying over the years, bravo!
Wow, that is some high praise indeed. Really pleased you are taking something away from my videos 😊
Awesome....it was a real pleasure. Thank you so much. Just great!
Thank you Patrick! Means a lot that you liked it. Thanks again
That, my friend, is a masterpiece. As always 🤩. The transition between machined and handmade parts is everytime so smooth 🧐
Thank you Hiru! 😊
I don't have any words to express my respect to your magnificent work! Keep do what you do, you are amazing!
Thank you Nikodimus! I will 😊
the music and the visuals are pure joy
Thank you!! 😊
Your creations are truly becoming works of arts ! Your first ones were already great but now the scale of this one just beats everything 🤩🤩
Thank you Centari! I was a little unsure of this project once it was done. Really pleased that you think it is a work of art. More to come, hopefully I can match this project in some way 😊
@@BlindedbyDaylight I've been watching your Channel since the first McFarlane conversion you made of the Chaos Marines (which were already MAD impressive considering you sculpt everything whereas most people just 3D print bits) and there's definitely been a lot of improvement in those 2 years 😍😍
If i had the time i'd use your Plasmancer video as inspiration to make Trazyn and Orikan 😂
@Tomcat_Centauri that's amazing and really kind of you to say. I would also love to do another necron in the future too
Every time you come back you manage to outdo yourself... man those are absolutely brilliant...
Thank you MrZavior! Really appreciate it
my favorite part is when he breaks out the water and the bass drops. epic af
I am so pleased that you noticed that, tried to line up a few bits with the music 😊
Absolutely stellar work! It's always fascinating to watch a blob of apoxie magically transform into a shockingly coherent part of space monster, and there was a whole lot of that to be fascinated by in this video. The great choice in music helped too.
Hey Ironcastknight!! Thank you, really pleased that you liked it all. 😀
This video helped me through the worst hangover of the year. It's lovely seeing this come together. Love the channel
Man, year just started!😂
Cheers bud! Hope the music wasn't too harsh on your head 😅
The master of sculpting has blessed us today.
Massively too kind MRC!!
It pains me to see a Generstealer be massacred ( i love genestealers), but this work is FANTASTIC
Thank you J, luckily you don't play in my local group. A lot of space hulk gets played in my house 😉
I could spend 27:59 looking at the glamour shots alone. Stunning work!
Thank you Facemelt loon, hopefully you might have checked out some of my other video projects too
Another mesmerizing build, awesome work!!
Thank you Antvector! 😊
I really love your style and your video.
This comment is like a bot but that's the true.
I really like the detail , your skill and the music used in the editing!
Thank you, I really appreciate that. Always trying to get better at it all. Nice to hear kind words about it though
Awesome a new video so excited to see this you make the best customs in the game! Especially nice to see a tyranid
Thank you Nemisis Prime (one of my favorite transformers in toy form)
Stunning work, this ‘nid belongs into a museum! Warhammerworld perhaps 🤔
😂 I don't think GW even know I exist! Keep up the great videos, looking forward to what you do next bud
This man deserves to have about a million subscribers these videos are always incredible.
Thanks Craig, I can't get videos out quick enough for RUclips to out my stuff out there. But it's people like you liking, commenting and sharing with friends that really helps 😊
@@BlindedbyDaylight I’ll take a few incredible videos a year over a bunch of bland ones any day. Also you should try making a few shorts. All you’d need is one to blow up and as soon as people see your channel they’ll subscribe.
@MacDaddy23 yeah, I should edit some shorts I suppose. Cheers bud
Everytime i listen to "Among the Ruins" by Karl Casey i think about your videos, so i think about them pretty often. Then bam outta nowhere one comes out and i a have a whole new batch of inspiration and a couple new songs on my playlist.
Such a good track right?!
That,.... that is a thing of horror AND BEAUTY.. thank you for sharing it with us
No, Thank you for watching and subscribing bud :)
Look, I'm not well versed in Warhammer but damn I cannot stop watching your videos. I love the format, good music, humor, and technical skill.
Definitely one of my favorite creatives on YT. Keep crushing it friend.
Wow, thank you. Really blows my mind that people like what I did here. Thanks, really appreciate it
Idk what any of these things mean but I love watching these videos! It’s always a bonus when one pops up on my feed
Thanks Pat! Really means a lot that you like what I do even if the subject isn't exactly to your tastes. Cheers bud
I would say you knocked it for 6 - but that would undermine how exceptional this model really is! Seriously, your work blows my mind. From inception to execution you have an amazing mind and talent to match. Cheers from Melbourne!
Thank you so much Wesley, and hello to you in Melbourne 😊
Wow, quite the transformation from the original figure.
Thanks Shane, he did go through a bit of a transformation for himself didn't he 😂
MAGIC! One of the best channels on youtube hands down
Way too kind Boaz! If you could also just tell that to the RUclips algorithm that would be great 😅
In the name of the Emperor... how did I miss this splendor...
Thank you @indifference_twenty-fourth I might be one of the few RUclips channels out there that won't inundate you with notifications if you click the bell icon and turn on notifications 😉
I've said it before and I'll say it again; how has McFarlane not hired this guy?! Sculpt artist Supreme! Toddfather - wake up!
As for the figure's transformation; it is both grotesque and beautiful at the same time! Amazing!
Cheers Mike!! Really kind of you, but I'm sure Mcfarlane wouldn't be interested in a dinosaur like me who is still sculpting by hand
Moreover, working for a big company like that would mean you wouldn't have the time to create these wonderful projects. And anything you *did* work on would probably belong to them, unlike these.
@@Silverwing2112 That is true. I barely have time as it is 😆
I came across this by accident and am so glad I did! I've never seen such awesome modelling skills, just incredible. I can't begin to imagine where you get your ideas from. I've now subscribed.
Thank you @UncleB1735 that is really kind of you to say! Thank you for subscribing, a few other videos you might like on the channel and also a new video on the way. Thanks again
Seeing this makes me even more excited about the release of more mcfarlane scaled figures not only to test myself but also to see the amazing kitbash/redesigns you do of them
That is so massively kind of you to say PhoenixKing! Definatly more projects to come :) Thanks again
Absolutely phenomenal. Every time you post a video, I get to watch an artist at work!
Thank you, well you get to see my hands at work at least 😂
Stunning, jaw droping and eye catching, a new a great demonstration of your sculpting and painting skiils. As a wrote before in another video, nothing of fancy tools, only specific materials, sculpting tools, your skills and a great imagination
Thanks Rafael! Really pleased you have stuck around for another video. More to come
Freaking fantastic! The amount of work you put into these customs is just wild
Hey Thebudgethobbyist. Thank you! How's things?
@@BlindedbyDaylight Can't complain and you?
Good thanks bud @@edimusprimetaking some time now to paint some miniatures before starting the next project
@@BlindedbyDaylight Death guard?
@@edimusprime Craftworld Eldar are my main
I was just scrolling and rewatched your nurgle death guard video and was wishing you uploaded more!
Thank you for watching those. Maybe in the future if things change I might be able to post more regularly, but for now two or three videos a year might be all I can put out.
This was a true masterpiece, well done! though it did make me realize that the tyranid tendency to sacrifice functional hands in exchange for bulky bioweapons is very evolutionarily backwards when you can just evolve an entire new set of limbs to form weaponry without losing something as insanely versatile as a simple set of hands
I don't feel in a position to question the hive mind on their choices 😂
11:47 has to be my favorite “BAKE!” so far.
Also at 22:01 the cymbal and the airbrush line up for a brief moment.
Awesome conversion! Nothing makes me want to start a big project like your videos. These builds are fantastic. I audibly chuckled when I saw you work on the tentacle hands and when you did the guardsman skull.
Thank you so much, really appreciate the kind words. I do try to make more intricate bake transitions with each video, I did have one for this video, but it was deemed not suitable for RUclips
Hell ya I knew there was a reason I kept notifications on for your channel (one of the very few channels I do). Another amazing build ❤️
Cheers bud!
That's a bit more than an upgrade! Killer sculpt and paint, absolutely beautiful work of art.
Cheers buddy, really appreciate it
That's way beyond a mere 'upgrade'. Fantastic work.
Thank you I M! Yeah, there were some large custom parts made for this guy. Thanks for watching and commenting, appreciate it
I was just lamenting that you had no more videos for me to watch, very excited to see a new one.
Lament no longer! Hopefully it didn't dissapoint 😊
Damn yet another amazing piece ❤ you never cease to amaze me with your skills and this Nid looks epic 😎 as usual keep up the awesome work mate
Thank you Fel! No plans to stop just yet 😊
Hell yeah, brother. Always stoked when you have a new one to drop, another gem.
Hey SavageGerbil, great to hear from you!!
...woah. You really knocked it off the park with this one! And the Venomthrope is one of my top favourite Tyranids, loving this
Thank you! Nice to hear there is one love for the venomthropes. I'm so tempted to make a zonethrope from the regular genestealer now 🤔
@@BlindedbyDaylight I would love to see you making a Zoanthrope too! =D
this looks so wild!!! well done!! that's an insane customization can't wait to see what you do next.
Thank you Demon Ultron! Hopefully won't keep you waiting as long as I did with this one 😅
hm if that's the case then maybe for a quick one try the iron warriors for the next custom to make.@@BlindedbyDaylight heh sorry just want to see what you would do when making an iron warrior. or even an iron warrior's lord discordant.
@demonultron7907 love me some hazard stripes so you never know ;)
@@BlindedbyDaylightwill not lie but of that happens I would love to see it being a terminator. It is one of the more favored armors used in their legion. That other than the more robust armors they enjoy wearing.
This is simply spectacular. The paintjob is insane too!
Too kind, thank you!
Absolutely phenomenal. The level of talent and imagination you have is almost without peer.
Thank you so much for the continued inspiration!
Massively too kind bud! 😊
Lovely new custom build. Great take on some Tyranids.
Thank you Reiner, really appreciate it. Thanks for sticking with the channel
This is absolutely outstanding! So much skill and creativity. I absolutely love it! And I thought Genestealer would be the best base for a Lictor... I was wrong, that Venomthrope looks absolutely proper.
Thank tou Khor11! A lictor would be amazing from one of these. I do have another one...... ;)
McFarland should hire you....that was wow...just wow
Cheers bud. They wouldn't want a dinosaur like me who still sculpts by hand to work for them 😅 More on the channel if you liked this video
praise to the four armed emperor. they has graced us with their presences.
honestly thought was super excited for this video. thank for the upload
Thanks Darth! I wouldn't praise the four armed emperor too loudly.... the inquisition are always watching
OMG that is just beautiful!!! Envy oozes out of me right now with the amount of talent you have
Totally too kind, but thank you!!
Stunning model and great notes on the different materials and techniques used. My boy especially liked the Elmo Baking transitions.
Thanks, sometimes Elmo likes to sleep in the oven. 😉
Serotonin refilled with the posting of this video!
That is amazing to hear, thank you
@@BlindedbyDaylight no problem!
You cannot conceive of how often I’ve been watching your other conversions waiting for your next one. I genuinely never get bored of them, they’re just so good. In fact, literally yesterday I was watching your Thousand Sons creation yet again
Amazing, that is so kind of you to do and say. You are a share of my videos away from being my favourite commenter! In all seriousness, thank you 😊
@@BlindedbyDaylight No, thank YOU for giving us all amazing content. You’re the definition of quality over quantity. I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve rewatched your stuff. Now that I’m here, I’m just gonna rewatch this one again haha
Thank you for this new video! Great work and these 30 minutes are like watching a great show and where I like the waiting for the new episode and then BOOM it’s glorious!
You all have a great day
Thank you Lukas, meas a lot that you look forward to seeing my videos. It's just me planning, making, painting, fiming and editing the projects here which hopefully goes some way to show why there are massive gaps between projects. You have a great day to, and more videos to come. Thanks again
What an incredible level of mastery of materials and tools, bravo!
That is very kind of you to say. Thank you
Astonishing. I have no words for how amazing this is. It's just so good!
Thank you so much Medusa! Really appreciate it
Outstanding job, as always.
Working on an Ymgarl genestealer on-and-off myself. Not the easiest to make both good looking and lore accurate.
Thank you, what are you doing with your gribbly boy? Paint or conversion?
@@BlindedbyDaylight He'll stay an ymgarl and he'll get a diorama. Since he's supposed to camouflage himself to the point of actually blending in with the environment, I can't just slap some paint on him and call it a day. I hope to make some kind of combination of a decorator crab and an octopus.
@@Dimetropteryx that sounds amazing!
@@BlindedbyDaylightIdeas are the easy part. :D
@@Dimetropteryx 😆 so true!!
Awesomeness, that’s what this is. And it’s 28 mins even lol. You’re the best; wish we could tips & advice from ya
Always about on Instagram (same name) if you want to talk painting and or sculpting bud
Yet another incredible transformation
Thank you commissar! 😊
Lovely stuff as always
Cheers buddy 😊
What a monster! Again, a wonderful work of sculpting, with a very nice paintjob.
Thanks Klug! Your kind words are very much appreciated 😊
Now that is a monster worth admiring! The original model was a little boring and what you did to it was nothing short of astonishing. Genestealers never get the love they deserve you’ve truly made the best looking one I’ve ever seen. I cannot wait to see which faction you choose to overhaul next. If you’re looking for a challenge try chaos tau I’d love to see your interpretation❤
Chaos Tau! That is one heck of a mash up! More chaos to come, but I'm not sure it will be Tau - but you never know
@@BlindedbyDaylight That’s what makes it so fun!! Corrupted t’au have happened a few times in the stories but no full physical descriptions so you can go absolutely crazy with it. Maybe twisted and rotten with disease🦠, Maybe swollen with muscle’s and bones and rage, Perhaps even gone mad with technology and augmentation, Or even finally given into desire and pain no more rules or unity only desire. The possibilities are almost endless.
Amazing work! Don't kill yourself on the editing, it is almost too good! I really enjoyed the work with the fluro colors, good tutorial content there.
Thank you Slainblackguard! I'm still learning re editing, hopefully it's getting better and better
amazing build
Thank you Tarkus
Your videos are always treat to watch and the sculpting is mesmerizing. An amazing job, it looks sooo good!
That is some high praise indeed, thank you!! More to come, hopefully the next one will be better than all my other projects... but let's just see if I can make something that's good for now - keep the pressure off me a little 😅
And finally....... another crazy creation by Blindedbydaylight. A lot of time waiting for this but I'm sure that it will be AMAZING.
I'm gonna enjoy it 😍😍🤘🏼🤘🏼
Thank you Jacob! Hopefully you did enjoy it and it didn't dissapoint
I really enjoy it, you did a Massive work ❤🎉
This is absolutely astounding. The creativity, talent, and dedication. I hope to be close to this level someday.
But also 25:17. "Zoiiiidberg."😂
😂 he is pretty Zoidburgy isn't he lol
you have my respect everytime you come with a conversion its looks amazing this one is no exeption :)
Thank you Tobias! Great to see you are still here
Fantastic. Love the design - especially those protrusions on the back. Amazing painting skills, that pink "flesh" looks awesome, and that green puddle really looks toxic 😄 Great piece of art
Thank you Revol! Really appreciate your kind words. There are other projects on the channel if you liked this one. Thanks again
The bases always looks so fun to make
The certainly are. A good base always elevates how good any miniature, or in this case bigature looks.
Id love to see you go for a golden demon. You've got some serious talent.
This is so seriously kind of you to say Jordan, but my painting and modeling are just no where near what golden demon entrants can do. Maybe if I had a time machine and could go back 20 years or so I would stand a chance, but modern entries are just on another level. Thank you though, for someone to think I could enter and stand a chance is really humbling
everytime you post a video my brain sais i have to watch and each time im not dissapointed
Thank you Birk, really appreciate it 😊
It's always a glorious day when I get to see another one of your videos, my dude. Thank you!
Hey MrHasfun! Good to hear from you again! Really pleased you liked this one!
It's always a pleasure, buddy. And I'm a little embarrassed to see you remember me, haha
@mrhasfun not going to forget that user name 😂
Wow!! Love how you made your own thing out of it.
Thank you Rued, I can't take the credit for it as the Venomthrope is a Warhammer 40k Tyranid creature. Thank you for watching and commenting 😊 Really appreciate it
Cheeky comment! Dude please keep stimulating my eyeballs with these vids. Great work
Thanks bud! No plans to stop just yet. 😊
Absolutely brilliant conversion 10/10
Thanks Paul! More on the channel if you liked this one bud
Thanks Paul! More on the channel if you liked this one bud
OH GOD HE IS ALIVE
I was, well the last time I checked for a pulse I was 🤔
Man, I wish that one day I'll have the drive and dedication to try a conversion like this! I'm gonna use your video's to inspire me.
I'm sure you do bud. Have a go, I'm sure it will turn out great
OMG, that's pure class man, amazing result, The Thousand Sons one was out of this world, but this Xeno is more than great, LOVE It. Chaos Next? 😊
Thanks bud, and maybe chaos next 😉
bloody hell that is impressive , excellent work brother! please tell me the next one come out soon
Cheers bud, I'll start working on it soon, but it's likely to be months away 😢
