As you've probably worked out I am a HUGE fan of Oldhammer, Midhammer and any of the other weird looking minis Warhammer has to offer!
Which means when Games Workshop revealed that their 'New Bretonnian Lord' was ACTUALLY a hand sculpted miniature from 2008 ... I didn't think much of it, in fact I thought he looked pretty cool!
But apparently the internet didn't agree...
So as an ambassador for dated and weird old Warhammer minis I felt it was my duty to prove that this miniature isn't as bad as everyone says he is
...but did I succeed?
Join me on this weird little journey as we discuss Warhammer, crediting, old sculpts, and how to paint miniatures in a way which hides as well as shows off!

Hi Louise. Thats the nicest, most gentle way of saying how silly and slightly sad it is that GW dont credit their artists, sculptors etc. Great vid!

@rkajdi 28 дней назад

It's not silly and slightly sad, it's a scheme to depress wages. GW doesn't want another Duncan Rhodes or Perry Brothers, where their work becomes good enough that GW has to pay better wages or these people can use their portfolio to find better employment. So like the video games industry (another pillar of worker exploitation) they try to minimize crediting people with the things they do. GW has never sculpted a single figure since it's an idea not a person, but they steal all the credit from the people they pay to do so. And yeah, we should treat it more like theft than something to shrug our shoulders about. If GW wants to retain top level artists, I suggest they pay them like one or risk losing them to another company that will.

I assume one of them is Tom Walton, who shares his sculpted minis on Twitter (most recently the Night Lords kill team, but also things like the Imperial and Chaos knights). Wish more GW peeps could share their stuff.

@foldionepapyrus3441 27 дней назад

Agreed, always loved the older models level of detail and less perfect shapes - makes the models have much more life to them when they are less perfect. Plus white metal is generally IMO more forgiving and easier to work in than the plastics (for one thing you can usually just gently bend a mini's arm/leg to repose it, and there tend to be far fewer glue lines between parts - just one mould seam)... Really the limitations of old sculpting methods and casting often leads to little details that seem a bit odd, and leaving lots of detail up to the painter, where the modern stuff in its million part plastic mould is so covered in sculpted detail you'll wear out a file if you want any detail to be different from the intention... I'd far rather have the former - you can do so much more with the paint when the whole surface isn't covered in detailed fluff... In this case I'd expect those fingers end up very long on the arm that is part of the torso to avoid a big undercut in the mould, or making his fingers really really short - so the other hand is made to match it. Can't be sure of that of course, very hard to tell just from a video.

Fun fact (that I'm sure almost nobody noticed)! They actually repainted this mini for the webstore since it launched, and swapped out the product shots, to try and improve the face. The Warhammer Community post shows the original, and the webstore shows the new one (which is now on an off-white background). I think they ruined the squire though, they changed his eyes quite a bit; he was much more adorable first time round!

@AriSolMorningstar Месяц назад

Damn, the skin color is soooo much better on the store than both the old one and this one

@SamuelNolton Месяц назад

I think both versions have their merits - your darker color scheme I think actually lends itself better to the contours of the model - and in bringing out some of the details like that stag icon on the tilting shield. But the GW official studio model also has a bit crisper fine details like the purity seal script and some of the highlights on the beard and hair. All in all I think the model is still really gorgeous - old hand-sculpted minis have a lot of charm to me.

@LB_adventurer Месяц назад

Your little guys hands and face are much better, the color scheme you used was definitely an improvement just overall for contrast. However the original artists lines are def more crisp and sharp in the details. The Rogue's paintjob was my preferred look, it just maybe could have used a few more hours to tighten it up and get all the little details sharper.

@Bodkin_Ye_Pointy Месяц назад

One thing you did better than the studio artist, who should have known better, was the irises. The most common mistake with the eyes is that people paint them in completely within the white sclera leaving the figure with that 1000 yard stare or the perpetual startled look. A tip for anyone painting the iris, look at your own eyes in the mirror and note how the iris are covered top and bottom by the eyelids. So the previous artist should have been aware of this if they are a professional and on that issue you leave them for dead. It is a surprise that such a small detail has such a big impact on a model but there you have it.

@vixel-6 Месяц назад

This is a great exercise in readability of a paint job and sculpt, hand in hand. Thank you Louise! As an aside, I'd love to see the little Squire transformed via a kitbash. A 40K/grimdark makeover with some spare little bits from kits - a cool experiment across time and settings. The little guy has been through so much already - why not give him a fresh hell to contend with? 💀

The unstoppable urge of seeing a messed up guy and think "I can fix him" XD You did quite a solid job, still. I like the eyes the least, but they are very tricky to do, and the mini doesn't help. On the other hand, the heraldic colours look amazing and the golden details complement them perfectly.

@sadlerbw9 Месяц назад

I happen to live fairly close to a company in the USA called IronWind Metals. You might know them better under the companies previous name: Ral Partha. Anyway, IWM sells cast metal minis and the designs range from very modern to stuff designed decades ago. Some of the older sclupts are a bit wonky, and no paint job can change that. That doesn't make them bad, just a product of their time. Faces in particular have benefited massively from modern sculpting methods. I'm sure if Martin were given another go at this model, we would all be amazed at what he would produce.

@user-eu6sq5xx3u Месяц назад

You giving credit to Martin is the best internet thing I seen in the whole year!. Thanks for being that way! Artists need credit!

@consistentlystupid4726 Месяц назад

Unsurprisingly, your model looks fantastic. I think you definitely fixed the hands. You were spot on on how to make the fingers look less elongated. Though I think the darker hair looks better aesthetically, I think the face looks about the same. I don't know if there's any way to truly fix that. Like with the hair and face, I think the color choices for the clothes were better but I wouldn't say it "fixes" the original as that's more of just a personal aesthetic opinion.

@Iamvalcristvalentine Месяц назад

I have been playing and building bretonnians since 1998. I saw this figure release and bought it immediately. It paints up fantastically. And looks fantastic alongside his fellow knights and damsels. The wonkyness of the website images is a product of the angle of photography. When viewed top down as the model would be viewed on the tabletop he looks perfectly fine, or better than his contemporary sculpts. One thing i will say, the eyes on the sculpt are not at the same height (but neither are anyones) but it is noticeable when viewed from below.

@LordBilliam Месяц назад

6:20 The 6th Edition removal of green from heraldry because "It's associated with the fey" is one of the lamest things ever done to Bretonnia, only topped by the recent legitimising of the lazy practice of painting your knights all the same in TOW, so I approve of your green paint decision. I painted my Green Knight with glow paint, fluor paints, and sculpted glowing neon green flames, and I blast him with a UV torch before placing him on the table where he subsequently bathes the models he fights in his eerie light (though it only lasts a couple of minutes so he gets a UV top up at the start of every move/combat😋). Removing green to make him special shows an extraordinary lack of imagination.

@foldionepapyrus3441 27 дней назад

I think the darker hair helped bring the circlet out more, your color scheme looks great even if it is anti-lore, and while I'm not sure your work on the hands and face overcame the flaws of the model they definitely didn't hurt. I like the cloak change, it separates better from the white background which I guess is really only a problem on the GW store page but still. It may not be the fault of the GW painter due to company fiat, but that doesn't mean we all have to paint ours that way. You showed a different way to approach the mini, and your dissection of both the sculpt and the paint jobs is worth thinking over for anyone who wants to paint this guy. I'm one of those who finds charm in the slightly cartoony older sculpts, but I'd still give some of your tweaks a try if I thought I had the skills to pull it off.

It's a color that works aesthetically with heraldry, and saying that no one in an army that was originally advertised as being super colorful can have that particular color because a ghost guy feels very green or something is completely silly in my Bretonnian book.

The Tiny Tim/Peasant boy impersonation is one of my new favorites things 😂

I think the biggest improvement is the darker hair and beard. And I think you hit the nail on the head, the problem isn't really the miniature is badly sculpted, or badly painted ... it is the colour scheme and background were obviously not chosen by a professional, but some guy in a suit. Displaying the min against a black background is a MASSIVE improvement!

A positive GW video - what a breath of fresh air! Enjoyed it and really liked the paint job 👍

Very good effort, but I agree with you that both paintjobs hold up just as well with a challenging model. Also I liked that you managed to include your London starving waif impression, too notch.

Yours looks fantastic. Either one looks great for box art to me! I love the goofiness of the model as well, and would love to have it in my collection! Thanks for posting.

Personally I think he looks a lot better with your paintjob for sure, you nailed it!

1) yours is better, 2) due to understanding how to shape features with lighting, and 3) I have spoken to an ex GW sculptor and very accomplished painter and they told me that the studio has a step by step prescribed way to paint and it wasn't designed to account for how painted minis read at a distance. This model is from a different time and studio (probably under Morley rule?) but you have managed to make it look just fine, grats!
