A Weekend WASTED? Kill Team Octarius 

I think batch painting was more effective when we were working with the old GW models that basically looked the same. Nowadays, they are more individualized, so it doesn't save as much time as it used to do.

The Thermos and Coffee cup extra parts for the Krieg made me smile more than they should have. The mold lines and overconnection of parts to the sprues quickly brought out my poker face.

The army painter barbed wire is actually sealing wire that you can get from a hardware/plumbing store for probably like 10x less.

I am working on several teams at once. Finished the Necrons (Warriors, Immortals and Deathmarks) & Space Marines (Intercessors with different Boltrifles and Grenade Launchers, Assault Intercessors and Reivers) and started on a cheaty Custodes Box, just for the lols. Left to do after that are Tau, Deathguard and Imperial Guard.

Okay. I totally agree about the batch painting not being faster. I think that doing a base coat for something like an entire space marine armor is worth doing batch. But then doing pouches etc I find batch painting I miss things and end up having to go back and fix them when I discover it. I would love to see an experiment on that for a video.

My OCD self died when you took that scalpel diagonally across the box lid…it will be my ‘silence of the lambs screaming’ moment :)

I am really on the fence about batch painting. My limited experience so far is that priming and base coats as a batch are faster but when your layering and adding fine details I prefer one at a time as I miss less stuff. I’ve got the kill team box but haven’t even had the time to open it yet. My current painting is on space wolves and when that’s complete I would like to try contrast paining some blood angels. I love the way you only care how you want them to look.

Jay- I’ve said it before; I’ll say it again- you are a BEAST! Awesome production; you really get the show-don’t-tell of cinema and it’s paying off.

Zealot covered in purity seals is so simple yet I've been wracking my brain FOR WEEKS on how to build my non-krieger veterans.

I won't even lie. Jihad played a few hours of 40K before built up my Krieg but I shit you not, witnessing how beautifully the overcoats and legs fit together on these models absolutely blew my mind!

I'm looking forward to moving pentagon myself but triangle and square are good too

Well done, thats quite the slog. They look fantastic. Thanks for the bases I will definately do that.

I play Skaven in AoS and I find that batch painting really helps with stuff like Clan Rats. Where you have like battleline 60 models that no one is really gonna look to hard at.

Water bottle with beans. Best paint handle you can ask for. The beans keep the center of mass at the bottom and make it easier to stabilize the mini when painting.

Paying full price? Boohoo, welcome to "being a plebian like the rest of us Jay".

With all these rushed paint schemes, you could do a great video on how to go back to previously painted minis and take them from a 5 or 6 to a 9 or 10. Would be interesting to see the difference.

The box me and my friend split came with the books damaged and some of the ork bits broken and loose in the box, despite all that the models still look really good. Now I just need to paint my half

nah batch painting is the way to go for speed. Way more time to switch paints than to switch models. But with that said batch painting just feels like you're not getting anywhere since you're doing the same step over and over, which is meh.

Haha. You are so funny😆 And loved every bit of the paintjob.

You absolute maniac! So well done and beautiful team! I'm building 5 teams at once, Krieg, Death Guard & Tau. Necrons and Orks are done. As if the ork terrain in the box wasn't enough I added a Sanctum Administratus building, the sector imperialis ruins, and transterranic gantries. Was going to add another admin building, but I feel like waiting til they announce something new.

Ive got my set and just started it, ive got a 3 day weekend going on. This has inspired me to get this set done so i can play it right away.

Wow! First time I'm hearing about the baking soda trick. I like it.

Putrid blight kings** it’s an AoS thing, you wouldn’t understand. 😂😂 thanks for the shoutout!

Im really happy you like the new Kill Team. A friend and I started it togather and we like it a lot. Also a nice way to get my old models to the board as I never had enough models for 40k

I work at a FLGS - I always call it James Workshop and it has caught on. Now I know that it was subconsciously beamed into my brain by Jay... 11/10 slapped the shit out of the subscribe button.

That wire effect is so good! 😮👍

what a fantastic job! such good work man congratulations you deserve a huge pat on the back!

Damn.. the casual nature of you running your knife down the front of the box 😳😬 is not want to damage the box tbf

Time well spent, they look fantastic!!

I got into Kill Team just recently. All the big boxes were gone from the market (except the starter kit) and Betha decima was still a ways off. I managed to buy a Gallowdark Killzone and have eventually gotten hold of the separate bigbox-specific terrain pieces for the gallowdark season, but It still pains me that I missed out on this box. The terrain is just insanely cool, and the content is so complete. The starter set, while an amazing deal, is still kind off a "kill team lite" experience. You have to expand it fairly quickly. Man this box was great!

Perfection is a road not a destination. I appreciate your style and dedication. I want a tshirt thst says done ISH. Three years later my box is still sitting on thr shelf filled with untouched sprues. My baby is still growing up. Yy for all you do mate. Some of us live vicariously

Just discovered this channel, i love your energy good job dude

Great results - the models themselves are really good, and the basing is nice and thematic for them.

"aaaaah... It's getting late..." 4:30 am : Me, looking at the clock : yes... but no.

I love the way you said "I'm working on my ORKS"

I magnetized every option of the Octarius box minis. It took a long time. Worth it. Now I am confident on my ability to magnetize anything.

Brilliant. Well done, Maestro!

Thanks for sharing, Jay. The krieg models look great. Best of luck with Kill team.

I’ve suspected batch painting being slower, especially if you only have one painting handle and have to swap the minis in and out. Also, army painter barbed wire makes really good rebar if painted and sticking out of concrete. Models look great as usual. I hope your group switches over or at least gets to try the new edition soon! It’s the most fun game system GW has put out imo.

Fantastic job dude those look awsome 👍

I will say. Even though I've only painted 1 model as of this comment being made I am really thankful for these type of channels for giving helpful tips. I hope gw doesnt take these

Uncle Atom would say that bunch painting makes sense but only in moderation. Like 3-5 models max. Otherwise it's easy to reach a state where you get bored or don't feel much accomplishment. Try out bunch painting fewer models next time. Maybe 1 prototype model and than 3 sets of 3.

Love the barbed wire on those bases

Subtitles say you're working on your 'Jeans Dealer Cults'. That would be an interesting army!

Every time they have to go "pick up their misshipped box" makes me laugh so hard

Oh hey! that was my Grey Knight!! :D

Beep ....beep ...... beep I am so mesmerised watching your videos really enjoy them beep ..... beep great work 😉👌👍

just built this (my first warhammer buy ever) and your speedrun here was so helpful whenever i ran into weird issues. now i have to paint them

That is awsome work good job👍🏾 on the models.

Closed Caption: Kilty Mac Terrace. I'm gonna name a mini this. Kilty Mc'Terrace

I will never be able to refer to GW as anything but "James Workshop" like he's a personal acquaintance after watching this video.

Impressive stamina my dude!

One question I have is; why build the model before painting? I always have the issue of not being able to access details because arms or weapons get in the way, and not getting a good angle to paint

Please Please Please do several videos when you paint all the terrain as well! And please, if you would start out by covering everything with a rusty brown base color and then add different color chipped paint to the "formerly painted" areas, to make it all really gritty, oil stains and what not, that would be super awesome! Love your videos

"Plasma pistol was part number 69. That must be a good omen."

I imagine you might have been able to finish them more to your liking if you'd been able to start sooner, and didn't have the stream to pull you away. Of course, neither could be helped and the results are great all the same :)

Hey, quick low budget tip: you can find miniature sized barbed wire as "security seals double wire" from ebay for 20 dollars per100 meters, wich is pretty neat price, the stuff is exactly the same as army painter's thing, just be carefull of what diameter you choose ! this saved me for my trench board project

Batch painting the full 9 is the issue, I did one to completion to make sure everything worked, and then I split the rest of the 9 in half 4 and 5, and batch painted them that way. You see them all come together sooner so it feels like less of a slog, but you still get the benefits of batch painting. As for the Last question mine is Sgt. w/ power sword and Plasma Pistol Confidant with Bolt pistol and chain sword Gunner with Plasma Rifle Gunner with Flamer Hardened Veteran Medic Demolition Vox Spotter Sniper I can't wait for them to show up on EoB complete :)

First dip back into the hobby in 20 years. My krieg load out is: Vet. Sgt. Plasma pistol, chain sword. Gunner plasma Gunner melta Gunner grenade launcher Spotter Medic Bruiser Flamer 2 troopers. I had to kit bash to get all the gunners as there wasn't the left arms to do it. Doing the orks next week.

Iv only played warhammer 40k a few times. Lost every game but 1 so fun. So id imagine Kill Team would be a blast as well ? A game were you have a blast if you lose is my type of game :D

Done-ish?!?!!!? 😂 this dumps on so much out there and you bashed them out in a weekend. Magnificent painting

I have 2 questions: A, How much detail do the new krieg have compared to the resin models? As to me they seem slightly under detailed, or am I wrong. B, Just how poseable are the models? As it seems like they don't have too much room for conversion work (like most of GW's models nowadays!). Otherwise really nice work. Edit: Three questions I suppose: C, Is it possible to create a Mole Launcher Team straight from the box?

I like the look you created on the kill team, good job.

Nice job! These guys look beautiful!

Fantastic looking team, nice work!

I've decided to try my hand at batch painting my Delaque gang, and whilst I'm not really sure if i'm saving myself time, I am finding it to personally be a painful, dull process filled with a lot of 'Oh shit i forgot to do those little cuff links again'

Once I get the new Combat Patrol Grey Knights, I’m building that Kill Team: Justicar with Nemesis Halberd Warrior 1 with Nemesis Daemonhammer Warrior 2 with Nemesis Falchions Warrior 3 with Nemesis Force Sword Gunner with Psycannon

after some fomo, i struggled to buy/not to buy this. now i'm so happy that i didnt added another box to my "to do" pile.

Best intro yet

I always paint with your video's in the background i play ww3 team yannke and Warhammer 40k you have taught this thirteen year old so much about how to paint thank you so much!

I dislike putting figures together and painting them - this is how I actually paint my figures. I paint all of the same models of the same type at the same time, one color at a time. I really don't care if I miss details or if it doesn't look that great since nobody can actually see anything from the sides of the table anyway (let's be real were all in our 40s), and I only care about playing the game. I just pumped out an entire 1000 point cities of Sigmar army in less than a day doing this, and I'm very slow and lazy.

Waiting in the lunch line… gotta do something tho.

Great video!

Great job! They look great!

Appreciate the dedication

I go back and forth with the batch painting theory.. I think it honestly depends on what you are painting.. It seems to work at times and then other times it doesn't.. It's a weird paradox??? I think I agree with the consensus that the base coat and major parts of minis that it works but once you get to the details its easier to do one at a time as I often miss things too like others have said!

Batch painting is weird. It's either way faster or just as slow as one at a time depending on what you're painting. Doing Necrons that are 80% dry brushing? Batch paint them. Doing some Thousand Sons where 80% of the model is gold trim. Do them one at a time because painting gold trim for hours on end for a bunch of models is a death sentence

glad you posted a video on octarius the day after i asked you about it XD

do not feel bad, these krieg are looking wonderful man!

RIP Norm Macdonald

Built both as an IG and ork player. Actually ended up buying a second box, ironically mainly because of the terrain in addition to the teams. Ill give the books and other kt extras to whoever in my group shows interest most likely. Cant wait for the krieg line to be fleshed out and the other kits to be released. Theyre not the exact same as the fw sculpts but they did a great job all the same. If GW does a plastic krieg army box in the future it will put many IG players in the poorhouse. Also the kommando kit is what the beast snaggas and new boyz kit should have been. Theyre excellent. Other than the nob they can be really flexible with a little work and they just look excellent.

they look great!

Great video. I use double sided carpet tape rather than the 3m DS tape to hold my models for painting. I believe this is much cheaper to use and seems to work equally as well.

Batch Painting is super effective, I took what normally would've taken 10 hours painting each figure on its own, into 5 hours by batch painting

I know the feeling of wanting to finish a project, but no being able to compromise the quality...

I had purchased a box of battle sisters for KT1 and I’ll be carrying them over to the new version

nice video-very strange and funee

The specialist actually look pretty awesome and have given me some ideas for my own Kreig

That opening 😂 poor Jay.

Thanks for great videos as always Jay and team. I have a catachan army and with the advent of the new guard codex, I am including a kill team krieg Regiment as veterans into my catachan army. Therefore I am going to follow similar steps to you but with a green pallet over a blue. May I ask, I can never get hold of nuln oil, it's always out of stock. I have been using a black ink wash as an alternative. A) is there much difference between nuln oil and black ink wash? B) I am a fan of of vallejo paints. Is there an equivalent of null oil that vallejo, army painter etc do? Thanks.

I used the same barbed wire on my team. The stuff looks great!

Nice work!

Thinking about building a set or two of Kreigsmen as heretic Nurgle-worshiping guardsmen maybe kit-bashed with some zombie bits and skulls. I think they could make for some really thematic looking cultists for a mixed Deathguard/demon warband. My personal kill team though is going to be ork kommandos--probably with head swaps--the new ork heads are so small. How are they gonna chin-butt anyone with those little eldar chins? I've had a love of the sneaky gits for about six 40k editions now. 😉

8:58 laughs in Citadel Base Paint iron Hands Steel

I'm currently working on .... Deathwatch KillTeam Chaos Heretic Astartes KT Plague Marines KT Deamons KT Necrons KT Mechanicum KT Sister's KT & I Currently Finished Kommando KillTeam Krieg KT Grey Knights KT Thousand Son's KT Astartes KT Custodes KT Plus All The Terrain from box an extra i had from a Kickstarter way back. Got all the books needed an ready to buy more when it comes Cause i LOVE THIS VERSION OF KILLTEAM

I usually put on some high energy music , like power wolf and just go helps keep me high energy too

I don’t think that batch painting is "faster" necessarily, I do think that it results in a more consistent final product when your trying to do things like Tyranids who are basically the same thing over and over.

I personally wouldn’t have done the last layer of blue on the helmets, the gritty grey of the helmet looks brilliant but like you said you’ve done how you want and they look amazing either way

Plasma Pistol part 69 eh - and when you finally give up playing with miniatures, a lovely lady might let you participate in that with her! 😉😆 They turned out pretty nice btw! 🤘🏻

Sliding your hobby knife across the top instead of down the lip of the box like a savage. And what's up with your plate wet palette? Did you make this vid before retiring it?
