My name is Roman Lappat, a professional miniature artist and teacher based in Augsburg, Germany. With over two decades of experience, I've taught thousands of students in the worldwide miniature painting community through my renowned hands-on workshop curriculum. I may have influenced your journey in miniature painting too. Miniature painting and teaching are my full-time professions, and I aim to inspire and assist as many people as possible with my joyful happy painting approach.
I'm also known for founding the Massive Voodoo blog, authoring artbooks, as a recipient of numerous awards, an experienced judge at international miniature events, and being an ambassador for this fascinating craft- and artform. I'm dedicated to spreading inspiration and the joy of miniature painting worldwide.
This channel was formerly known as "MASSIVE VOODOO TV" and got rebranded in November 2023.
Thanks for such a straightforward technique for learning colour theory/technique. Been working on my understanding of mini color schemes and this is just the kind of practical approach I needed to break through mental barrier.
Grey Knights are a secret chapter of the Inquisition, but not as secret too Google. Just hit 'Grey Knights Warhammer 40.000" and you find enough lore ...
@@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART I actually love them. I just am such a clutz that I don't really recognise all of them. Usually someone tells me and I go "ohhh these are the guys I just read about". I love the lore and the stories. I just really suck at noticing obvious things in these. Now that you mentioned it I was like... I knew that terminator armour from somewhere... Thanks! Really good work. The blue glow incoming from the suit is a nice touch.
making art. the time people put into it. in a hobby/nerd space. almost always never pays what it should for the time. There are some truly talented artists in nerd spaces. mtg, warhammer, etc when you consider "fine art" the prices are absurd, even for prints/reproduceable works, can be several hundred dollars easily. original works thousands. Diorama was a great expressive work. Hope you got a price you're happy with, and are inspired to keep creating.
@@bullgrim yes, absolutely correct. Painted for gaming, nothing else. Keeping the paintjobs limited to 2-3 hours per model to finally raise an army I can play with as I never managed to do so, because the "painting level" was always more than medium 😅👍
Very atmospheric video! The part with not becoming a youtuber seems to be not completely the case anymore? You posts videos more often now, it seems. But I hope it does not make you focusing on the algorithm too much and you can do it on your own pace!
Thanks for your kind comment. True. I do more in the meantime, but just because I enjoy editing a lot and do it as a hobby. With the Patreon I somehow managed to create an easier workflow of everything and it is a joy to create more videos. I am not trying to monetize my YT or plan to work wirh sponsor. It will have more content atm, but depending on life, workload and teaching it might get less again in the future, means there is no need to create YT content as I am financially not depending on it. I call it hobby :)
@@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART Sound good to me 😀 I am actually a patreon of yours since a couple of months ago, but I am not a big fan of the site and log in there only very occasionally... so for me, your youtube content is the one I mostly interact with, but I would not have it any other way than being a a hobby for you.
@@kasparbaktat964 thank you for your support even you do not like the Patreon System. Your support is appreciated and with it and the support of many others I am able to do more of this video hobby :)
@@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART I do like the Patreon-system! Patreon itself probably would need some relevant competition to focus on the important problems, but supporting independent artists is very fundamental for a society. I just don't like their website ;-)
These are amazing! I've never really paid much attention to Grey Knights. But I have to say you didn't just convert the miniatures, you also converted me into a Grey Knight fan! Very cool 😎
They look incredible. They look so much better than the official Grey Knight models. You've done such a good job on the conversions and painting. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve barely touched my grey knights over the last 10 years. Seeing these painted really makes me want to get back to them. I love your style, you’re the first person that’s made see Warhammer as art. Think I’ll be joining your Patreon with that guide as an added bonus 😊
Nice conversions and really stunning beautiful painting!! On a RisingApe YT Video he says you are using Lascaux Fluo Paints - is that correct? And if, which Fluorescent Colors or paint ranges would you recommend? Have you any experience with fluorescent inks?! Cheers and thanks for the awesome content! It’s always a masterclass for free for me, and once I’ll really consider supporting you from now on Happy painting and a wonderful week y’all!
Thank you! Glad you like them. I am using all sorts of flouroscent paints and inks. I got many different brands on my table. The most BANG in pigment quality I find in the Lascaux. Thank you for your kind words! I am grateful for your support! Arigato!
Your GK are a huge inspiration for me working on my own Primaris-Scale Grey Knights. I was just painting my Paladin Squad which I converted from Deathwing Knights when your new video released. Perfect timing, I was looking a long time for a high-quality GK Painting Video!
Very, very happy to hear! Glad you enjoy these! I bet the new Deathwing Models will do great for Paladins and Characters. Already put my eyes on them, but first I finish to paint what I got :D ... thanks for the lovely feedback!
Thank you Roman for sharing your Grey Knights squad, they awesome! They look ready to slay any demons on their mission! Definatly going to buy your Etsy Workbook. Cheers.
Awesomely grimdark and inspiring, your Grey Knights look darkly heroic. The lightning effect in their Force weapons really sells their psychic mastery. Very well done.
Being everything so off makes de energy on the model to be pure eye candy! Congrats on the mini. BTW I recently acknowledged you were around Spain early this year. I hope you had a "wunderbar" time 👍
