Legend has it Jay’s shirt was originally white, but after years of painting and cleaning brushes on it it became a lovely shade of grimdark green

I don't know I heard that it was originally lime green but then there was a tragic Nuln Oil incident that permanently darkened it up.

No ones writing legends about these dudes lmao.
Worst thing about limited edition plastic models is how they undermine any argument for why other models are still in resin. Surely if store opening super limited Captain Whateverus can be made in a plastic without bankrupting GW, so can all those cool Necromunda characters that don’t sell much. Not to mention that the resources going into designing, sculpting and producing a model that will disappear never to be seen again could have gone into upgrading long-suffering finecast character models like Trazyn, Vect or Lucius.

I think the difference is that a limited edition AoS or 40k model is going to vastly outsell those Necromunda characters, so they'll get their money back on the mold pretty quick. I do agree that they no need to move the last of the failcast mini's to plastic.

Jay, you could just use that Vampire Lord in Warcry. I don't think there's a unique stat block for him, but he should work as a Vampire Lord stand in. Then you just need a handful of mini's to finish up your warband instead of trying to build a full army.

I would like to see Jay paint up some wasteland warfare robots or mirelurks. Since he does like the silliness of certain series, the idea of like a sentrybot painted to promote a hardware store or Cereal brand would be fun

Loving the limited edition whistle intro throwback
Jay I watch a lot of your videos but this is legitimately one of the best, most direct, well-thought-out videos you have done. Your analyses of the psychology behind the manufacturing of these models is very accurate. I love the idea that once an entire game is out-of-print, that gives the exact same feeling as an intentionally manufactured "limited edition". I never considered that (it's why I enjoy retro game collecting!) and that perspective was really eye opening for me. Thank you!
Loving the extended session of pretending to paint that vampire lord. Halfway through I started counting the number of times you cleaned your brush without touching the model 😂 Quality episode as always guys, thanks
5:45 - Inquisitors had codexes up till 5th edition when the Grey Knight codex released and the Sisters of Battle army list in white dwarf. Even then they still pop up from time to time like in the Index books for 8th edition.
I usually buy them for fun painting projects, I dont play orks but the Goff rocker was a fun unique model to paint.

Could proxy as a Weirdboy and his maybe-maybe-not Psyker powers may just be the power of rock or something. And getting a HQ unit too.
I got the Goff Rocker because I am working on a ‘miniature band’. So far, I have the Goff Rocker, a Noise Marine and a Nords bagpipe player from Conquest.

Don’t forget to get Dj Clamavus! He’s got cassette tapes for his tape player backpack and speaker stick :p He is also my only GSC model painted like he’s at a rave
The supporter swag commercial was g.d. seamless! For real - I appreciate sponsorships that fit inside the video topic, and you all do it better than most everyone else.
I LOVE how right after the ad, Jay goes right back to painting WITHOUT the product. LOL.
The editing on this video is fantastic, well done! So many funny cuts and zooms.
my local games store had that limited vampire in their sales corner and I loved it so much I decided I wanted to go for a soulblight army, together with my cursed city box I'm not even really tempted to buy anything for it until it's all painted. not that that stopped me
I love how most creators would have stretched this into 3 videos. Jay? Nope. Just bam bam bam, 3 limited editions done and dusted.
The Luke is awesome! I appreciate you opening and painting these, I've never been a keep things in the box person
Awesome video and just picked up the painting hilt with light and magnifying glass - JUST what I was after! Thanks for showing it off :)
Meanwhile all blood angels players trying to get a copy of "Sanguinius" before the scalpers put them all on ebay for 4x the price.
you put everything in to these videos, you are like a 6y old showing off his christmas gifts🙂🙂😊 love your vids, you have so much energy, perfect balance of nerdyness and enjoyment. love you😊😊 ohh, and why is there a middle finger in your painting room!?
00:47 That roller coaster picture is amazing :)
Oh man, I'm glad you shouted out your FLGS for Legion - they had the Crashed Escape Pod (and other cool things) in stock. Placed my order.
Crikeys, that Luke is amazing! The face and helmet are some of the best work I've seen you do. Beautiful.
The colours on that vampire lord and you used the old EOB intro song for the Luke painting !
Dude, you paint so well now! Your videos and paint jobs improve and improve! Good job!
I love my limeted edition Octavia for Infinity. I play her very often. And love her big rocketlauncher on the alternative sculpt. I could have bought the normal version ,but i realy love her badass limeted edition sculpt!
Nice that they included a basic base with that Luke. This way, you can have the "intended" display base too, but if you want, you can have fun with building up the blank base to fit your army's basing.
I swear when you were painting Luke and that song came on, it felt like the final episode of a TV show where the main theme plays.
Oh, I love that song from old series of models and memories weekly, so satisfying ❤️
I had to get the Goff Rocker as I'm working on a 40K Ork Army. I had a lot of fun painting it up.
Damn that Vampire Lord paint job is top notch!
great job with the OSL on that inquisitor! your effort definitely paid off :D
Jay painted that Star Wars blue alien rebel dude’s head the same way as this vampire chick and I love it please go into more detail on how you paint that next time you get the chance thank you
everytime I see Legion content on this channel i get really happy
Great editing this vid!
You made the helmet AWESOME! Super nice!
I enjoy buying random models to eventually paint. Number one reason I also own a 3D printer. I just bought the Tzeentch Curseling to practice NMM blue armor. Great vid as always.
Paint jobs were OK, but what was that MUSIC when you were painting Luke?! IT was incredible! I LOVE WHISTLING!
I think Lightsabers are the single best use for florescent paints, So bright and eye catching.
I love vampireses, and I LOVE the Crimson Court and models from the Cursed City set, regardless of the hoo-haw from that debacle. That special edition one however just didn't move me. Refuse to delve into Star Wars - too many other expensive hobbies. LOVE Cartavolnus - your paint work KILLS. You're definitely right about Inquisitor fans vs. non-inquisitor fans. He's an incredible model - the creedy Necronomicon-y book, the red voluminous robe and deep hood. The cybernetic arm. It's just so Inquisitor, and looks taken directly out of the Inquisitor book back when Eisenhorn premiered. Thanks for sharing!
I own a couple limited addition models. The 2 catachan and the Inquisitor in this video. I just wish that if they do more limited guard models gw doesn't make it so hard to get.
I know what you mean and how you feel. I’ve had to restrain my impulses for these… but I did get that GW bday inquisitor and the Jacob Bugmansson models.
i really like the vampire colour scheme. it has a very 80's nes sprite kinda feel to it, like i feel like i could see that character in castlevania 1-3
Starship troopers mins are being sold here and there, one of the shops I use has the master molds.
Well done painting the vampire
I don't know how everyone else does it, necessarily, but I only pick them up if I think they look really good and would fit something I want to do to kind of force myself down from buying *everything.* I got Bayards revenge because I needed a Legion Champion for my Night Lords, and I felt he'd be perfect. One blood Angel instead of an ork, and a jetpack later, and he's one of my favorites I've done for my legion. I got the terminator chaplain because it was PERFECT for what I wanted as my Master of Sanctity for my 40k marines, and I've gotten the Goff Rocker to turn into an Ork Noise Marine for another project. I feel like this kind of "Grab what you know you want to use or something you know you want to have and paint" is the best way to go about it.
This has to be your best video yet!
They looked amazing! I'm down for a soul blight army!
I'm not dumb. I needed the. malefic plaguecaster from space marine hero's series 3 to complete my death guard collection. ☣️🖤👌
I love the freehanding you did on Luke
That vampire is looking fierce and ready to slay.
You’ve definitely raised your painting game! 🚀
totally agreewith you in this one. aos models are amazing :D i painted my tzeentch daemons so vibrant that opponents told me they shine on every table and it just feels amazing. my paintjob is far from perfect and maybe not even considered "good" (i.e. flamers are just 3 contrast paints blended on a wraithbone primer), but i just love the reaction of other people when they walk around table and stop to take a look at them.
Has that hand over Jay's left shoulder always been like that? 😆 made me laugh more than it should have!
I actually won that vampire model at a killteam tournament at my FLGS. It was the first model in my SbGl army.
I used the limited edition sergeant Castus as kitbash fodder. Used the base for an Illic Nightspear and the body for a Black Templars apothecary. Bits for the bits god.
You paint amazingly. But you are also super entertaining :D this channel made me go back to painting.
I have Goff rocker, STILL waiting on my warhammer day guy with the sword and the Ork, and I skipped on the warhammer store anniversary models hehe
the way he just sort of dropped it on the desk. i fear slightly nocking any over in my army of gray.
Tbh all you need to do to make that helmet look like the empire one is some black weathering powder like how you would do exhaust stacks
THAT PAINTING MONTAGE WITH MUSICAL BACKING🔥🔥🔥 If you are taking requests, more of that!
Did you really say, "AoS is light hearted?" Wow! That made me laugh 😂 Great video! Keep up the good work!
I recently bought Cursed City after wanting to get it for awhile. It's made me want to start a Soulblight Gravelords army. I have a nighthaunt and a Stormcast Eternals army but I'm not really drawn to them.
The Vampire Lord looks better when she's holding the dragon rather than pointing.
general cinematography is REALLY stepping up
Boom -- Cobalt Keep stuff looks amazing... ordered 3! (me and for holidays for friends!)
Good news - Return of the Jedi Luke is available to you in the “Luke Skywalker operative expansion” - gives you the option of running him in a different org slot and has some improved stats befitting his jedi knight status at that time (only real downside is the loss of his pistol but is that really a problem?)
Love the Yugioh shoutout. I'm a Yugioh player starting my first Warhammer army!
Really wanted the Exclusive Kruleboyz but wasn't dropping that much money for single models
I have an idea for video: Model a figure in 3d software for 3D printing. After that let someone paint it with a atmospheric lighting. In parallel let the other person do some texture and light work in 3d software to make a render. Compare results! Might be a weak idea, but could be interesting for NMM armor! Especially if render used as a reference photo.
One of the local stores where I used to live got 3 of those Pilot Lukes and priced them at $50 each... all 3 are still on their shelves.
I hope the move is going well. Cannot wait to watch some streams again…. Soulbrightgravelight!!!
Jay flaunting Mars Attacks and Starship Troopers at me making my fomo flare up
Inquisitors are good for black templars too
Tell Cobalt Keep to release square bases, would love to get some quality square bases for my WHFB army project.
The were all painted amazingly
I have Hoth Luke. It will be great to have for my snowy rebels.
I was disappointed in Goff Rocker. Not Christmasy! I loved last year's model.
Love that paint handle but iam never going to pay for that shipping to the UK 😭
Question about the Cobalt Keep painting hilt... What's the CRI rating on those lights? Finding proper lighting for my working space, without spending a fortune, has been a real pain...
Dude, that tree - your search history must be something!
i wanted to get that inquisitor because it was a cool sculpt but couldn't both because i missed all of the store birthdays for gw stores near me and the one gw that was having a birthday after i became aware of stores having birthdays in my state was around 2 to 3 hours away from me by train so i ended up leaving the inquistor because it just wasn't worth the trip
Bayard's Revenge was a really fun limited edition model but I don't dip into the limited models much
Hi, just wanted to say that you're doing a brilliant job and I love your videos! Keep up the good work!
I do have a large soulblight gravelords army and she dont have rules, unless you use her as a normal standard vampire lord
That vampire has killer heels!
“Thats an experiment that I’ll have to run on the next Star Wars Legion model I paint” C’monnn General Grievous needs a new pair of shoes!!!🤞🤞
Uriel Ventris has been my HQ for 4th Company Ultramarines since release ;D
I am perfectly fine with special, limited edition miniatures made for special events. So long as, if they're intended to be used in a game, there's a more standard version of that model already available. Bayard's Revenge is fine, because there's already an Emperor's Champion model available normally. It's just a fancy version with an Ork. The Inquisitor, however, is really annoying, because there's not really a good Inquisitor kit out there that's not like Eisenhorn, Greyfax or Coteaz which isn't in Finecast, and a good plastic Inquisitor kit that's really customizable has been on my wishlist for a while. The Goff Rocker doesn't seem like it'll be given specific rules and they seem to be angling more for it to be commemorative, so I don't really care. I haven't seen any of these that I just HAVE to have, so I'm not really bothered all that much by it, personally.
I also couldn't resist here and bought the limited edition dark vengeance, the last time I was surprised that it's been 10 years, I only opened the box here, but otherwise it's still in the cupboard, I've even considered selling it here
You get a like from me for the vampire lord. Great job!
Would love if you could do the tutorial of the vampire lord love the Colour scheme
That Vampire Lord could make a great 40k Psyker, Navigator or Rogue Trader. Only thirty bucks per mini? That Nick is a great guy. 😄
I think if it makes sense to be limited, I think it’s fine. Like a random tua ethereal. But that inquisitor should just be on the store.
I do enjoy my Goff Rocker on tactical squig amp.
I NEED to know what artist sings that “what up” song that was playing when you were painting the vampire lord cause it 100% slapped
That vampire is AWESOME! other figs rock too, but love the colour scheme 😁
My Noise Marine and DJ Clamavus needed a Goff Rocker band mate- it wasn’t up to me.
what color did you use on the vampire skin? i love the his paint job
I just picked up Bayards revenge, no regrets
I collect the LE models and sometimes i do FOMO but i go by how would i paint this? Or this is something i look forward to painting. Or maybe i can trade this for an other model i wanted. But most just building up my retirement plan for myself of hobby
