"This Imperial, or not so Imperial, Knight." You know, given the shattered aquila and the stonking big Nurgle symbols, I'm not sure this lad's loyalties are as ambiguous as you and Penny suggest!
Haha, but nothing's SUPER obvious... it's just been patched up over the years, and its Mechanicus artificers are getting a bit... smelly ;)
@TheDusk420 and... Is that a tentacle?
@@mosswillow4419 "No, No it's just a prototype mechadendrite"

This channel is totally responsible for reigniting my love of the hobby. There's just something so achievable about how you breakdown these videos that drew me back into painting and I honestly can't thank you guys enough! Another great video, love the direction this channel is moving in!
Thank so much Josh! Happy that we've rekindled your spark, as it were ;)
Nice! I'm saving a giant pile of 3d printed 'trusses' myself. The decal on the messed-up banner looks great.
The great pile of truss, 8th wonder of the world
I ruined the 69 likes
The sprue bits on Forge World or Creature Caster pieces make for really great concrete barriers for urban bases too.
That "using the 3d-printed part supports for basing" idea is fantastic!
Don't let anything go to waste! Haha
Im at a loss, this model is absolutely incredible! And I’m so glad you did a model the traditional way, airbrushes are not available for everyone and this really motivates me to paint bigger models!
Thank you Charly! Yeah, my airbrush was giving me dirty looks the whole time, haha.
@@MidwinterMinis Hey I have a question, is it ok for the model to be spray painted? I am planning to make my imperial knight to look like a statue made out of cobblestone or other rock material that was build by old civilizations centuries ago to honor the mighty robot titan.
It took you only FOUR HOURS to paint this behemoth?! It takes me a whole evening to get a 1/3 of a single Skitarii done.
I don't know how long it took you to get this quick at painting, but you certainly haven't lost an ounce of the obvious YEARS of skill & talent you've learned while doing so! Inspiring as always, MWM :)
Haha, thanks mate. Once you get in the "I've just got to do it, let's gooo" mentality, it really helps speed things up :)
Is it weird that this huge model being painted like this has inspired me to finally tackle my first dreadnought?
Not at all! I bet a Dreadnought in this style would be awesome :)
Good for you:)
@@MidwinterMinis can you do a dreadnought tutorial, please?
“ it’s not bad modeling it’s weathering”
:me on every model
Agreed especially with my living metal plaguebearera
_It's free weathering_
If something wrong: 'battle damage'
@@hendrikworung1967 or grime
The dry brushing metallic over black really made my T’au stealth suits look way cooler. Thanks for the great tip!
sounds like some communism propaganda

The best Black Flag tribute ever? ;)
3D printing 2% of a model? GW is gonna sue you to Ultramar for that
Haha, I know, eh?
Laughs in fully 3d printed imperial knight “proxy”
@@Hankbob_Hillpants Proxy is akin to a curse of banishment on GW Laywers.
Agitatis Ultramarini
wait is it bad to 3d print them? i 3d printed my army and played with it a few times without problems. the units are still the same right.
Pro tip, if you want to paint white armour use instead Ulthuan Grey (or a very light grey). The coverage is a million times better and it looks a lot more realistic than flat white.
The white can be used for accent highlights in small places.
The "White Grey" I used is practically identical to Ulthuan Grey, but it's in a dropper bottle, which is my preference.
Yeah Yeah ... Big kit fun with weathering and grime .. Very COOL ... You guys are Great 😁
Thank you Luke!

@@MidwinterMinis *visible confusion*
So excited to watch this. Yours has become my favorite channel on RUclips. Cheers!
Oh, thanks so much mate! :)
A simple, straightforward guide with smooth transitions and easy audio that isn't obtrusive. Nice. You earned a subscriber with this video.
*grabs popcorn* oh boy this one is gonna be GOOD.
Well? How did you like it? :D
@@MidwinterMinis I absolutely loved your conversion work here, those 3D printed shoulders were obviously a big part of it but you were a complete genious with that nurgle symbol and the bit of Abaddon's cape. This knight will wear his icon of the putrid grandfather proud!
@@drpenny9844 SALTED!!!
Loved the simple yet very information painting techniques. It makes me feel like I can build anything 40k lol! Can’t wait for the future vids! Cheers
You can build anything! Good luck :D
“I’ve been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord”.
WELL I REMEMBER
Midwinter Minis 😆😀
This took away a lot of the anxiety for starting my knight, thank you.
Exactly what I was aiming for, Dan! :)
@@MidwinterMinis I have never done warhammer before. This video introduced me to warhammer. Thanks.
Couple years later, it's helping me too
Thanks for yet another excellent video guide, Penny and Guy. This channel is rapidly becoming my favorite hobby inspiration source.
Wow, thank you Jesse! :)
absolutely brilliant love it
Thank you!
06:30 ...it's a learning experience...
You're a learning experience!
Cute.
ADORBS, haha
@@MidwinterMinis also brutal :D
this is a cool way of painting but i really enjoy really detailed painting on huge models like this
These videos give me life. Great voices and amazing audio quality. I learn, have fun, and get to watch a satisfying process.
i love how the most viewed part is The little "wile leaving some things to be articulated, leaving some things articulated..." Mishap. Great video ^^ btw im addicted to the end card theme XD
Last time I was this early Magnus still had his spine

6:38 Your face is a learning experience.
(I'm glad me and my wife aren't the only ones who say this to each other)
I set myself up for that one D-:
You guys are fantastic, these are all such high-quality videos that get straight into it without 5 minutes of nonsense at the start. Your videos are a pleasure to watch and you've given me some great ideas for painting my own minis (even though I mostly do historical gaming!)
We're really glad we could given you a bit of inspiration, mate! :) It doesn't always have to be complicated :)
This is sooo cool! I’m only 11 and I’ve just bought my first Recruit Edition and I plan on saving up for an Imperial Knight! This video has given me the perfect idea on how i should do it. Thank you, MWM!!
Damn fantastic. I have been painting 4 knights over the past year or so...don’t get enough time....a few things I have found. I use the Citadel gem paints for my lenses etc. On the nurgle Knight I based coated the lens with a fluorescent green, the used the gem paint. It’s eyes not glow user UV.. I’m also using the fluorescent paint on seams etc to simulate a growing corruption inside.I also found using a second more specific dry brush of a different metal colour (brass, gold) on large metal pieces breaks up the look and gives the impression of different materials ..I know obvious. But these do extend the time..see above...and increases cost/range. Some day these will be done, some day
Sounds like a nice scheme! I spent so much time wondering and worrying about what to do with this, I'm glad I just bashed it out in 2 evenings, haha :)
Midwinter Minis no hesitation just go for it..if only I could follow that advice
"He held off because he was worried about messing up such a big model"
10 months later: "Guy has bought a Warlord Titan"
guy has brought a warlord titan
I swear the more Nurgle stuff you do the more I want to see a army showcase or a battle report with them. Great work love your stuff have a good day
Fastest click in human history. I've waited so long and after a ton of awesome music you teach the world to gotta go fast and epic in painting again. Cheers! :D
Who wants to be the "Bob Ross of miniature painting" when you can be the "Sonic The Hedgehog of miniature painting" ;)
Awesome. I love it when you do these larger and more complex models. Looking forward to the next video. Keep up the good work.
This made starting into my day way more pleasing
Excellent! :)
After your awesome "how to play 40k", would it be possible for you to make a "how to kill team"? I think id would be very useful especially for people new to the hobby with less models...
Keep up the great work!
1nicer b0i yeah Guy, show the people how to play Kill Team!
It's definitely on the cards! Watch this space :)
@@MidwinterMinis Thats great to hear, really looking forward to it!
@@MidwinterMinis That's great. But, please specifically call it "How to Kill Team" instead of "How to play Kill Team".
If there is one thing I love, it's seeing Guy and Penny releasing a video on a Monday.
Brightens up the week! :)
Great video. I really like the sponging idea for chipped paint.
Quick and easy, eh?
Hey mate, when printing using resin you should consider scaling it 103-105%, as the resin tends to retract once cured :) Amazing work you did on that model!
This is pretty much the paint scheme I am doing for my own Renegade CSM army. Only started then yesterday so was surprised to see the colours you went for. To video
Great minds think alike, James! :)
Great scott! That turned out nice
Thanks Nicolas!
Watching this gave me a feel for the size of your smile when you finished it. Amazing job Guy. I love the Nurgle approach to painting Warhammer minis
Haha, it was pretty big! ;)
@@MidwinterMinis Two other thing's.
1) I think a good smaller video you could make would be one using those spare pauldrons and trying the PVA and super glue trick like you did with the plague marines as an alternative to 3D printing. Just a suggestion.
2) Watching this generally made me want to get stuck in with my Mega-boss. I've had it for a while now and really want it to be a center piece for my painting. Thanks for the inspiration to start him.
Good to see more painting 😀
Yeah, it's good to be back at it! :)
Bloody brilliant!
Thanks Marc!
Great vid as always! Glad to be a named Patreon (I'm Adrian Drake) Glad to be supporting such a great member of the hobby.
Thanks mate! Glad to have you on board :)

Vgf no no no no

Totally worth becoming a patreon just to hear penny say 'get dat shoota'
It's .......................... Beautiful!
Thank you! :D
@@MidwinterMinis no seriously... you've kept to the simple pallet, no airbrush, basic conversion and on the table what can't you like. nice one mate.... and the old penny/Guy tag team lol
Sometimes, every once in a long while, one comes across a new channel to watch and like three years worth of videos. And then sometimes, there are videos that make you wish you could like them more than once.
"No, Commissar, this isn't a Renegade Knight. It is an Undercover Loyalist Knight!"
That's a great, grungy, grimy, grotty looking metal murder machine.
This video inspired me to finish building and finally start painting my Knight. I am very pleased with how it turned out, Thank you for the great video!
Learnt loads and sparked loads of little ideas in my head. Thanks guys! Great content!!!
Glad you could find a bit of inspiration in it, Sam!
Regards your Pauldron size, like printing with PLA, I imagine resin also suffers from shrinkage. When dimensions are important I allow 1-2% for shrinkage.
Having looked into it, not shrinkage but Resin printers do suffer from build up, when curing. Check out the link in second comment.
Ah, that's good to know for the future! Thanks mate :)
@@MidwinterMinis OK just read a few articles and apparently it's unlikely to be shrinkage but can be down to excess resin curing.....here's a link discussing it:
www.3dhubs.com/talk/t/does-resin-shrink/2294
Pretty darn good! I like the weathered corrosion effect on the panels, dark and white splotches, looking very natural. Nurgle's usually associated with organic rot, but metallic rust and corrosion is a great variation.
I laughed so hard when Penny said "You're a learning experience"! I think my wife has said something very similar on a number of occasions. Great video.
Good video, quick tip keep your decal on the paper and bring that up to the model before you slide it off, this will stop it from ripping or wrinkling. Also try some Tamiya mark fit or such like this realy helps set your decals in place.
Nice tips! Thanks Fred, I'm not used to dealing with such large transfers :)
At first I was exited to write this but now I'm not because I am new to war hammer and just bought a starter pack but it turns out the starter pack that I just bought was just a paint pack I wish they said so a little more clearly but still this channel has gotten me into the hobby and I'm back to the hobby shop tomorrow after online class
Update
I got two beginner squad packs to choose my army and its back to the hobby shop today to get some more death guard
Looking at the finished product one would not believe how hideous yellow those shoulder plates actually are.
While I condemn heresy I must congratulate you for making this very awesome piece of art, it is absolutely glorious! ^_^
You guys' editing and commentary is fantastic. Not a whole lot of the camera sitting in place or wasted stills, but still giving each moment plenty of time for you to show AND tell what's going on. Same thing with you Battle Reports, being very easy to follow for someone just starting to get interested in the tabletop side of 40k. Super well done, and I've been enjoying the heck out of your channel the past few days. Definitely looking forward to more!
Something about the half face looks so good. It really brings it all together with the exposed mechanisms
That was some great pronunciation on my name!! Hahahha As always great video! You two are awesome!
Thanks Adriano! Hope we got it right, haha
@@drpenny9844 This is getting out of hand. Now there are two of them!
With amazing models that citadel are making , and with a basics 3d printers today , we can absolutely build whatever we dream, technology is so cool for this hobby^^.
Yay, Penny's back!😁
Yea boiii!
I'm watching this and i've never painted any type of Warhammer character but i can say that is awesome how many details the imperial Knight has and how cool its at the end 10/10
Sitting 18 months on a model, waiting to paint?
Those are rookie numbers son!
Thank God, Penny is back! You had me worried there for a moment 😅
I like to assemble large miniatures before painting them because I enjoy making my life difficult. (edit: I just found your channel today and watched your 2nd edition 40k starter box unboxing, I never got the starter box myself, but by some chance have found a gretchin appear in my collection at some point)
Haha, true story ;)
Very nice! I love the look of this.
Thank you!
if you can't be bothered with multiple coats of white, you can use a grey or brown intermediate layer between the black and the white - it's dark enough that you won't see the black basecoat, but light enough that the white should cover it without too much trouble. Same trick works with painting yellow
More giant robot builds and customization is exactly the videos that I need!
Thanks for making such a great channel! Your tips have given me the inspiration required to actually paint some models. As for backlog i'm currently sat on the speed freaks boxed, set an imperial guard walkers and three issues of mortal realms.
to better do decals, or "transfers", do a super smooth gloss coat to the area first. a lot of military modelers use future for wax since it's a super shiny acrylic. it will help not just with placing the decal, but also keep from getting a "silver" edge from the transparent areas of the decal. seal it with the gloss clear after it dries, then matte coat and weather as usual.
Yeah, that makes sense! :) I bet it would be much easier to move them around on the surface too
@@MidwinterMinis it does make it easier to manipulate on the surface, too. I know you were going for a speed paint, but sometimes just a little extra time is justifiable lol
loving the content you guys! soo good to see how far you've come and grown, happy for you
It's crazy, eh? It's all happening so fast, haha
@@MidwinterMinis well deserved, quality content, i remember when i got recommended your earth-crack necrons and that was like one of your first videos i think, still love those necrons btw, i would have never of thought to do something like that, such creativity.
@Midwinter Minis - Quick tip for resin printing - download Prusa slicer and set it up for their resin printer and adjust the bed size to suit. Import your models and allow the program to auto add supports. Now export the build plate as an STL file including supports. Open and place the resulting file in your normal slicer and slice - DO NOT ADD SUPPORTS. Copy to the printer and hit go.
All my prints before this method used to fail 60% of the time, with this method over 300 successful prints with only 1 fail.
Looks so good, ancient and dirty and abandoned and reused....
Yeah! Sounds like a good idea for a scenario! :)
@@MidwinterMinis would make for a great story
I love your video. It is wonderful to hear a couple do painting/hobby videos. Gives me hope to get my wife addicted to painting. Maybe then I could have a finished army :)
So basically I have a knight from house orhlacc and I have been sitting on it for quite awhile cuz I was trying to get my hands on some extra silver paint but I couldn't find any. Then I watched this video and my metal problems have all been solved. Also I'm a super huge fan of you guys. I would be on your patron but I'm only 15. Sorry 😕
People always think you have to airbrush to have awesome paintjobs. Great work guys ..🤘🤘🤘
more Vs please I would love a orks Vs undead
Orks vs EVERYTHING! :D
@@MidwinterMinis thank you
I know there's the whole "start with a small one" advice that goes around, but I've been watching people make these imperial knights and they're so cool. There's a large part of my brain that's going "just get one, it'll be fine, what could go wrong"
You could really elevate this a lot by just picking out some trim in a dark bronze. It's a little too uniformly white, probably another thirty minutes of work would make a fairly large difference.
Of course! If you want to spend more time on it, you could definitely pick out any details you want :)
If you want to write on different surfaces I highly recommend a cheap calligraphy dip pen. They can be had for a few bucks at any art store. The benefit is you can load them with whatever ink you like, even model paints. The ink in that store bought pen isn't compatible with non-porous surfaces, it needs to absorb into paper to fully dry. Awesome paint job!
Mechs are so great to customize. I just kitbashed a Maelstrom's Edge Epirian Hunter without any plan to do so, using the optional spare parts from the imperial cerastus knights, the deathwatch killteam and a tech dominus, as my very first kitbash.
Thank god for midwinter minis, and really all these channels, for building and painting the models I could never buy in good conscience!
Midwinter winis is what I say when I say the name really fast
I do it too, haha
can you do a guide on painting space wolves? i would appreciate it a lot.
also nice to hear penny's voice again, i sometimes listen to your videos when i go to sleep and penny's voice adds a nice variation to the audio since both of you have such a calm voice.
There's going to be some sexy 2nd edition Space Wolves soon!
@@MidwinterMinis that's really cool, i have some space wolves and tau from the kill team beginners set built up. i just need to go buy the paints for them so i was really hoping for a guide from you on how to paint them so i could actually follow one of your guides :)
@@drpenny9844 yay! :D i was wondering why you weren't in the few last videos?
very cool look's great i deffo carn't wait to show you all my stuff ive been working on soon as my new set up is working :)
Nice! I look forward to it :)
Have yet to start any of my knights, but this looks really good given how quickly you did it. I can see how you could always come back to it and add more detail to the paint scheme. Very well done!
Wants it to be unclear if it’s chaos or loyal.
Preceeds to put a giant piece of nurgle insignia on it
I never thought of using a bit of sponge for the stipling effect...I was using on bloodletters today for bloodsplatter, so thanks for the idea!
I was so excited to ser how you did the trims. Then... you didnt. And it worked. I’m in shock. I’m gonna need therapy. 😱Brilliant! 👍
Haha, I know! I like to imagine that, back in its glory days, it had a nice colourful trim, but thousands of years later it's all faded and forgotten
Still loving Penny calling Guy 'You're a learning experience' major side eye ha ha
im mind blown ....... in 4 hours i can barely finish an interceptor wtih little detail
you guys are absolutely amazing
This video got me into the game, thank you.
super professional tecniques . beautifully painted . rocker 11:48
I just had an operation and this is great to relax with
I will probably leave an imperial knight until I feel more confident, and you have 20 years under your belt, I barely have one! But yeah, as always: Guy, Penny, great content!
Great speed paint tutorial. Thanks for the content.
Thanks Joe!
Great design; nice video. Simple. Easy to follow. Effective.
