I find it funny how Jay, despite being the black templar guy, grabbed a white scars for knee size reference

You're brave. I swear Golden Demon staff dropkick entries into the cabinets, attach the cabinets to paint shakers, load the paint shakers onto the back of a professional wrestler, send the professional wrestler through a flaming table, and only then will the judges be summoned.

I highly, highly, highly recommend covering up that massive screw. My eye goes to that instantly, and for Golden Demon they are not going to overlook that. Maybe covering it in a dark ruddy resin mixture to further sell the water effect, or putting a piece of terrain in there and blending it into the water?

You really need to do something with that big ol screw in the foot, as least paint it black so it doesn't stand out as much! Other than that he's looking absolutely magnificent!

I don't even care for Warhammer 40K specifically, but your passion for your craft always makes these videos a joy to watch.

You need to fix the bolt under the foot somehow

He's definitely gonna be on the bottom shelf of the glass cabinets 😂

Dude, this type of art is PHENOMENAL. You literally went all out on this one and the details are amazing. Like, I would expect this to be amongst the top contenders at Golden Demon just for how much effort you put into it and it has paid off STUNNINGLY. But, it reminds me of a this marble-/ceramic-like Titan model some guy made some years ago that was rejected as an entry by Golden Demon. The painting quality looked a lower level than your Titan, but he did a lot of freehand and generally it seemed like it should at the very least make it ito the event. But nope, rejected entry. What I'm saying is... I love your work and this looks INCREDIBLE... but with Golden Demon it's kind of like... waiting to get dropped over "a brightly coloured skink". GD has this thing of just looking at imperfections and disregarding all other outstanding effort over it because it isn't the cleanest paint job. In your case... I think SOME of these points might trigger GD's odd way of rating models: - The "rusty" turquoise might just be a little too blue/too bright instead of slightly more blended in - The whole laser/plasma drybrushing around his eyes might trigger them due to it being a "simple" effect - On one of the right tubes you can see a bit of a white line that runs across it, I think there might be another tiny blemish or two that give the model more character but can be a reason to get voted out early - They might judge the screw being too easily visible under his left foot - And there's too many difficult colours for their brain to process and it's not a skink, so yeah xD No, but I think it's awesome, probably the best Titan paint job I've ever seen. You should send it in to see how far you get, but I know how GD judges can just look for the simple things to rate.

I spent 6 months painting an Albion Truthsayer with a brush that had pretty much 5 hairs. That was a long, long time ago and even though I was really happy with it at the time it did bugger all to help my painting speed. Nice looking Titan mate, I appreciate the fact you paint armies really cleanly. I'm still trying to get my confidence up with just finishing the damned models in the first place.

Friendly tip for those "quick" epoxies: The time listed is an estimated WORKING time, not a CURING time. It generally means that, for example, a 5 minute epoxy, is that you have roughly 5 minutes to work with it as a smooth glue-like consistency before the curing process kicks in and it starts getting goopy and spider-webbing. It still takes hours for it to fully cure to full strength.

You've got to fix the bolt that's attaching the foot to the base, Jay. Golden Daemon won't like it. That right there could very well be what causes you to NOT get a finalist pin.

That sounds ridiculously general, like a 'Hey, I certainly had problems with the mail already. Let's send a seven-pound table-top war machine across the county' - Jay idea.

Ooh boy more titan stuff! If I may, I think it'd be cool to have a Legions Imperialis/Adeptus Titanicus Reaver titan done identically to the large lad

I'm pretty sure they'll ding you for that massive bolt under Stompy's left foot. Maybe adding some of that epoxy resin over it to make a pillar of water and hitting it with that same transparent amber would help.

10:10 seeing you swivel the big cannon out of your camera shot cracked me up

I have a magnifier which is exactly the same as that. It’s an amazing tool for mini painting, especially if you have eyesight problems. I have a few different headsets but they’re impractical because you have to use them up close. I also have a digital microscope that works great too for very small details.

I love the scar, and the courage it took to make it.

It is actually amazing to watch you evolve and become better artist. I’ve asked other RU-vid creators to do a “go back and fix video”,but you do it all the time. Thank you

Stompy's looking good. All the freehand turned out really well!

i like your skill i just started airbrushing my army is a 1500 pt tau slowly adding to it but been painting these models for years adding more detail every time its a good time killer

PAINT SOME TAU MECHS PLEASE

It looks awesome! Good luck with the competition - you should be very proud of your excellent work.

Awesome freehand! Well done.

This is really beautiful, great work of art!

That is some epic freehanding. Looking forward to seeing that monster in the case. I hope you have a plan to record the packing, transporting, and delivering Stompy to the judges.

i LOVE this guy, Jay! But, I think that screw and bolt under his foot are going to be enough for them to not like it. Can you cover that in more resin to look like water so that it's hidden?

9:28 "Does exactly what it says on the tin" is an advertising slogan in the UK for Ronseal Weird to hear someone from abroad using the phrase

So excited you posted!

Man, you are such a talented painter. It makes me want to improve my own skills, which as of right now are just the bare minimum getting models combat ready. You get your models *parade* ready.

Great job. Wish I could brush anywhere near that well.

That is some very nice freehand on the kneecap.

Your production videos are my favourites in the business. Keep up the good work. You’re very entertaining towatch. Always looking forward to the next one.

I so enjoy your enthusiasm.

Jay your painting skills get even wilder every video. Truly a masterpiece you got here.

Was expecting my monthly terrain painting video. Nice mixing it up

Jaw dropping exclant free hand by the way and awesome overall project!

I just love the waves of nerdish joy he brings to his projects. He makes his show awesome!!

It looks really good man! I wish you the best of luck!

Awesome! If you’re going for perfection the “VORA” of the SUTUR VORA would benefit from being a bit further to the right. As of now the VORA is also a tad bit larger letters than the SUTUR part. But it looks great as is!

So nice... I hope to see you and your stompy in adepticon..!

Jay’s voice at 11:58 was the perfect Mario voice!

little tip: for glue or epoxy on flat surfaces, you absolutely have to scratch the surfaces on both side, for example with a hobby knife, so you have a larger surface area to adhere to. Use an X shape scraping pattern and be amazed how well anything will adhere ;-)

That freehand on the knee pad is fantastic!

Loving the little detailing with the text, despite it being incredibly time consuming to make. Also I gotta know where you got that ring lamp!

The Reaver looks freaking EPIC! Beautiful work!

Excellent work 👍👍

wish you all the best Jay, best of luck. hope you have a great time and enjoy

I admire how you go back and repaint or finish your older models. A lot of hobbiests, including myself never go back and look at past models... We just buy more 😂

awesome work Jay! Hoping to see it get the medal it deserves

I'll be looking for this at Adepticon!

Nooice. I regret to say I could not arrange to go to Adeptacon this year…. One day I will find you…. And thank you for getting me back into my hobby !!

3:00 Homie *that* decal is ‘sharp.’ Definitely put together a few favorites, for maybe 🤔 Wet decal merch, a page of really good scaled up & down, designs :L

Stompys got my vote!! That freehand is fire!!!man Jay if only you had a notebook to write everything down 😂😂!!Thanks gents!! Fantastic as always!!!

@EonsOfBattle Did you use a proper ratio mixing tip for that epoxy? This could be why it didn't harden quickly.

If you really want to mess with the staff paint some more titans and enter as squad. A Small maniple can be just one more knight and a warhound. I still think you should paint some tiny versions for adeptus titianicus, you can even run them as loyalist.

I wish I wad going to adepticon this year but I'm going to miss out sadly. I love seeing all the minis in the case especially when I've been watching them be created in videos.

The freehands look so good

Really hoping you'll get to paint some #InfinityTorchlight soon 🤩🔥

Sweet! You headed to Adepticon GD then? I purchased a reaver at the warhammer store there last year with the intent to enter it this year, but I can't figure out how to transport it from Hawaii...the airlines limit you to one carryon nowadays...and I need to carry the rest of my entries :D

This is great my only issue is with the way his legs are technically that leg would be on a downwards swing to land it in the water as it the forward most leg right? Looks cool thou

Amazing work jay, only thing I’d add would be to change the colours of some of the pipes etc around the face! Titans should be dark, grimey, scared and covered in masses of freehand and heladry! They’ve been stomping around for 1000s of years and should wear the scars,grime and heraldry with pride! Looks brilliant mate keep up the good work!!

Jay rocks up to Adepticon with the reaver in a papoose; "excuse me good sir, which way to the creche?"

I just ordered my first model (a Knight Crusader) and seeing you paint like this gets me excited. Do you have any tips or tricks for painting it? I really wanna get it right.

well I spent most of feb working on sisters of battle and inquisition characters and some touches on knights

That’s some skill right there

If you're struggling to get epoxy to set, just put some spuerglue around the edges of it to grab instantly and it'll hold it until the epoxy sets.

Good luck Jay!

Nice job with upgrading an already good paint job. Tip is to use a mechanical pencil to draw in your free hand. Keep up the good content

Looks like he's gingerly checking to see if the bathwater is still too hot.

Good luck! Stompy is looking choice.

HI GREAT VID, AWESOME TITAN! COULD I QUICKLY ASK WHAT DID YOU USE TO DO A TEST MODEL? ALSO WOULD I BE ABLE TO TEST MODEL SISTERS OF BATTLE USING IT? THANKS!

Tops best yet, Jay!!!🎉🎉🎉

I dont know shit about 40k but god damn is that thing a work of art. Absolutly amazing job god damn

I'm surprised you don't use paint pens for freehanding, really love the Posca

Best of luck for Golden Demon, Jay!

it looks amazing 😭

Suturvora are Chaos aligned. I guess this would work in a 30k Context.

NGL the flames give off some heavy vibes. The titans name is Kyle now. I don't make the rules I just know them lol.

Jay's ability to free hand makes me so jealous....impressive as always High Lord Jay

Good luck Jay

Oh man, this was so epic until the streak and grime. That was brave!

That thing is so fucking cool

I'll be rooting for ya Jay! But I hope you don't mind, I'd rather call him Stampy. (ala Barts Elephant) Thank you for all your inspiration! I think I'm finally ready to play with streaky grime myself....

The paint reminds me of Megas XLR

Where did you get your magnifying lamp?

The titan looks great! Would you consider painting commander shadowsun 😮?

Wouldn’t haven’t went white for the skulls just looks like pops too much instead of blending. Maybe bloody tally marks. Whole project is sick tho.

Could you send it to me…. I uhhh need to verify the titan…. Yeah? Yeah!

that knee pad free-hand :O

Now all you need is two Warhounds and like 4 more knights in this paint scheme and you can play an apocalypse game as a titan maniple...

well have fun good luck and you need to do swag vid and vids of show and tune in to em as do em

for a cost of $1,400 that titan should be real!

could add scortch paint to the big melta

he gave his titan the anakin scar my god

Stompie looks like he thru Mufasa off a cliff

You should do a warlord titan next

Pretty sure streak and grim is a push down and twist cap 😂

Are you going to paint some Word Bearers to go with Suturovora?

Pictures of the titan buckled in or it didn't happen..! :)
