hey could all do the thing right like that would be that would be it all right yeah i wanted to actually make scrolls for these because that's how invested i am in this clan eschen book win fix this fix this abomination of this dangler part of one of the one of the now better armies out there i think scaven is a solidly great army right now it's not too good not too bad it's full of lots of fun options it just has this huge goiter and it's called clan eschen okay uh nito marito uh and yes the i didn't do the assassin because i don't think he's like one of the worst world scrolls in the game but he would follow suit like his nimble dodge would be four up four up and blah blah blah of course you know pretty straightforward all right tom time for your controversial pick you're ready for the last two here we go tom this is the one you're gonna i suspect have to defend against lots of other things because there's a lot of bad war scrolls in this game the avatar of cain so this is the standalone statue like if you build the blood rack shrine i had to search around for this war scroll this is not easy to find by the way in an obvious download place because you can't buy this guy individually you can only get in the kit uh at any rate okay tom tell us why this thing is so bad well let's start by saying in order to build him you have to build a blood rack shrine sure but again that doesn't count hold on you've already sure you've already failed by building him sure um so let's talk about okay by the way this guy was originally 180 points i would just point that out when he came out which is that is truly madness he is currently 140 okay go ahead tom he is priced identically to the cygore and we're gonna talk about that comparison here in a minute he has a nine inch move nine wounds on a four plus save as opposed to the cygores 14 wounds on a five plus um he has a 10 bravery he has 10 i'm sorry six range attacks at 10 inches and threes and threes neg one one damage he has four sort of cane attacks at threes and threes neg two rend three damage wow look at all that damage i mean this is one of the only people we've talked about tonight that has neg two rend oh the cygore has it no the shooting attack sure i mean it's not it's not common to see neg two rend in our stuff but yeah okay yeah okay so but here's where the copy it comes in all right i'm ready if uh let's talk about animated first so here's the base rule for animated he cannot move he cannot shoot he cannot be selected to fight unless a friendly daughters of cane priest uses the wrath of canine prayer to animate him in your proceeding hero phase even if he has not been animated he's still treated as a model in your army with the exception that enemies can ignore him on the movement sure um and they do not have to retreat if they want to move but they can still attack him okay he can't fight back and he can't fight back he can't be selected for combat and he is a idol and he also has idol worship he gives plus one bravery to daughters of cane units within seven inches that that daughters of cane unit for a set like seven inch buff by the way does not stack with the shrines right because the same rule so base this guy never moves off your starting line setup unless you pray to activate him unless you roll a three plus every turn yes correct so i don't care what any of his numbers are you cut a third off because you're going to fail prayers sure on a one or a two oh by the way so so let's let's let's put this in mathematical terms real quick okay right so a prayer on a three up because you're not burning your iron circle person on this like let's wait that's not happening your iron circle is going to catechism of murder every time get out of here okay yep so what are so the statistical odds of that are obviously like you have a 66 repeating you know percent change success right so how does that compare to spell casting okay so spell casting that is the same as between a six and a seven is where that falls it's a little bit harder to cast than a spell that's a six it's a little bit easier to cast than a spell that's a seven and i think people have a better anchor on that kind of stuff right of how often you fail spells um because so to be clear this guy does nothing if you fail that cast he cannot attack back if he is being attacked right until round three in round three he does wake up automatically but yes he wakes up automatically in round three if the priest are killed out he doesn't activate correct he just sits there in round one and two yes right so he has a chance so like we were hounding on giants for failing charges on a one in six yeah they have about it they have about a 16 percent chance to just fail any charge yes this guy counting the normal ops i didn't roll the dice number yes this guy not only fails every charge on a two and six during those first turn he fails to move he fails to attack he fails to do anything meaningful right as you know as ghost button said you can't afford in this game to have anything simply do nothing right for a round or two and so just his unreliability whips him off the table from viability to me like i get it and i said you're gonna have to defend this one because like i think he's super bad i'm just not sure if he's bottom 10 but but he's what other unit in the game does nothing zero i get it it doesn't like it doesn't matter about your profile your profile is zero yeah i understand sure and like the relevant part here is it's not just the failure of the prayers right which is like highly probabilistically likely a one third chance is very high okay of doing nothing yeah yeah the so it's not just that it's that we're talking about it you know the fact that um that like you have a pretty limited number of prayers you can actually punch out in most daughters armies and those slots are usually taken like there's usually stuff you're wanting to do with those prayers you don't often have a lot of additional prayers where you're just like oh and also i'll animate that random statue over there so it does something right and then even if you're making that choice with your limited resource you then still have a chance to fail you can almost get 10 canari for his price sure sure okay um and he's also has all of the problems of a monster yeah because he's a single dude and he's roaming around he's on a small day so he's just not doing anything a third of the time during those early turns right and by the way when you like okay yeah in turn three he activates automatically and then a cool story bro your clerics are probably dead by then so it's a good thing that he's auto activating sure and and you know he's pretty far behind in the combat like he's nowhere near the front lines if you've even lost one activation with him sure sure yeah okay and um and he only has nine wounds on a four up save yeah well then also let's try out a trot out his damage profile because you know we talked about that neg two rent three damage short it is admittedly it is a little bit more it's a little bit more than a cygore what like in melee during during rounds one and two he is doing on average half a damage more with his ranged attacks yes and he's doing approximately like 1.1 so here's here's the math yeah here's the math he has a 16 chance to do zero okay against this against a four up save oh but and that's by the way that's not if he's not activated yeah i'm assuming he's activated of course so you gotta cut all these by 66 or by um 33 percent you gotta remove a 33 off of all these values i'm gonna i'm gonna give me the stats for him activated but yes if he's active 16 percent chance he does zero damage 37 percent chance he does three 33 percent chance he does six that's that's the bulk of your your damage profile there so he's hitting for about three maybe six damage that's kind of the middle of the area there because basically it's it has to go in threes because that's right right right yeah so uh yes like it's challenging it's challenging i mean like i wasn't a believer in this tom but yeah it's pretty bad like pretty bad he let's reiterate this he does nothing in rounds one and two sure so fix him let's fix him let's make him nice tom how do we make him nice uh this is the empowered avatar of kane oh okay got it i was gonna say eliminated from the book okay got it because you didn't need to be there but no go ahead no he's the empowered avatar of kane um which means that he's always uh he's always animated yeah we just cut all of those all of those rules are just gone yes okay um and you can leave the animated by the way on the shrines sure because they actually wake up the one on the back of their shrines sure it's not it's not out and walking around yes right right like because of that thing very question tom how did that thing get to the fight was there literally behind it like wake up and then it walks in the way something stops and she's like wake up nothing happened she's like ow i took a mortal wound because remember they when they fail prayers it hurts them right all right so it's like look you stupid rock synthia you're on avatar duty again oh man how many hags died just getting one of these things to the battlefield by rolling ones because like so the key is like the shrines and like as if all this wasn't bad enough let's like i want to bring this loop to close because before we fix it the one ability that it has that's not damage which by the way this army doesn't really need damage sure yeah it's got damage and coming out and just oodles and oodles of it everywhere right but the one utility this thing fix it or brings is the plus one bravery which is great utility but it doesn't stack with the shrines right because the reason it's so useful by the buy whereas normally i would write that off as a who cares in daughters it's really impactful because mind razor is really dependent on you having higher bravery than an enemy right right so you really need that plus one as you need as much bravery buffing as you can and so um so here's how you do this um you uh you make it so that you don't have to activate him no yeah slam dunk he's he's already he's awake he got to the fight somehow he's awake and then you ready for this i'm ready man um uh all of kane okay uh add one to the bravery characteristic of friendly daughters of kane models that are within seven inches of this uh this empowered avatar of kane sure so it's so it does stack with the other one right yeah and so suddenly there's a function to this sure i would also love his sword attacks to six as well by the way no i wouldn't leave it at four it's fine like it's not it's not stellar like i would love six but then you got to up the points i that's i'm not sure that's a bad thing let me just say that sure and that's fine like 140 points is pretty crowded in the in the dock army right now that's a crowded space right like yeah there are a number of ways to fix him it's just he needs to have a function and again it's like if he's just bringing damage that's just not a lot in this army he doesn't have to try to push him up to have like where you can actually do something in combat basically because what i'm pushing out sure sure and that's fine um i like the neg to rent like again um or um uh you could call this in sold avatar of kane sure and make him a hero oh that's neat that's a neat idea i see i like that along with your all your your all worship thing i think you've got an interesting take there um and suddenly it becomes like enough that you need to consider like am i trying to stack bravery you you probably still won't be able to get higher than the bravery 10 that a bunch of stuff has probably but it could make a difference you know and then suddenly if you could give him an item maybe you're in a space where it's he's usable sure uh may i suggest a small interesting additional utility buffed him i mean like it maybe if he's not a hero maybe here's another option okay sure so i got an idea oh go ahead go with your idea i'll wait this is your scroll yeah uh step frenzy up one stage horrendous oh like he can push the blood rights table up is what you're saying well yeah you just say like um like uh inspire frenzy and yeah that's where i was gonna go but let me tell you how i was gonna do it you're ready okay here's like yes that's exactly where i was going but but let me let me tell you what i was gonna trigger it off of uh daughters of kane kind of like blood not sure if you've heard about that it's a thing they like they like they love it they like reveling at it fighting in it you know rolling around in it uh like a dog who finds something stinky in the yard but they're like they're like that with blood and he happens to have this missile attack called torrent of burning blood okay sure so like here's here's here's here's his thing if he hits a unit with his torrent of burning blood just hits okay then uh any attacks made against that unit like your friendly units are treated as one step higher on the blood rights table sure that's how you push them up because they're already like there's a lot of blood they're into it you know i mean it's it's more blood is being spilled right yep they're in the shower they're in the spray zone they're in the spray zone exactly it's like double dare you're in the spray zone yeah exactly you're in a you're in a concert yes exactly um the like then that'd be cool we're like oh neat okay so like then there's this neat synergy that's happening where he's moving up he's automatically animated he's adding to their bravery by them being near him right so he's helping you be more mind-raiser-y and when he then spits on them then you go for like if it's round two when you theoretically engage then all of a sudden you're treating us round threes and you're getting the the good you know re-rolls right yep yeah cool okay right on so i really think he's in the bottom 10 because there's simply no other unit in the game that does nothing for any portion of the game sure barring other units being in the game being on the table uh yeah no it's it's you're not wrong like there is no other unit that acts like this yes and and again it's not even like a small chance of doing nothing yeah yeah it's significant even like even if again like that's if those units aren't there for whatever reason then then it does nothing but even if they are there it's still gonna fail on a 33 chance at the time right right yep yeah agreed okay uh let's do my last scroll this is gonna be my i have to defend it when you're ready yep all right he's got a pretty picture pretty picture for the night quest or okay so let's talk about the night quest or uh and i'll openly admit like i probably am a bit i went back and forth on this fifth slot a lot of times there was a lot of other things slotted in here chaos warhounds were slotted in here for a little while uh the herald on blood throne was slotted in here for a little while okay uh those are all close competitors and if somebody wanted to say i think those are in the bottom 10 i'm not sure i'd argue you out of it but let me talk about this guy nonetheless night quest or night's quest or a vow to stand a shield between the denizens of the mortal realms and the depredations of chaos it falls to these heroes to undertake great quests in sigmar's name they adventure across the realms and beyond to slay terrible enemies or recover arcane artifacts whose power can turn the tides of war okay uh so that sounds like these guys are these these are these are big awesome heroes right and as a point of fact like night questors and soulbound are amazing and will kick your teeth right down your throat and back out the other side okay uh in the storm cast army these guys are completely useless i cannot picture why you would ever put this in a list and he's bad even compared to most heroes let me walk you through like so defensive wise he seems fine that almost feels like he could have his purpose because he's like five inch move five wounds on a three up reroll will save because of his shield right no that's pretty good defense uh his challenge ability is stupid okay um like whatever he can pilot an extra three inches uh but only with heroes and he has to go to that hero and so on and so forth and whatever and his thunder charge strike you had one to the damage of the night questers warblade if the wound roll was six or more okay uh again four attacks threes and threes neg one one damage it will not surprise you to learn this guy to learn that this guy's average damage is in fact one so there we go so the great hero who's the bulwark against chaos okay doesn't average of one damage uh i saw some people mention that like he sounds kind of like the exalted warrior all the exalted heroes of chaos i did i went through all the exalted heroes all the different like aspiring deathbringers and exalted heroes and exalted deathbringer and whatever all that nonsense they're all better as far as like either because they have command abilities or could do more damage every one of them beat him out on that kind of stuff like they were all in my in my picks as well but some of them have like really good command abilities or just stuff so this guy is a completely utility free hero right he has no utility he is a solo operator that's his idea right yep he is a solo operator that marches up into a fight and does one damage against like by the way that's against four up saves but he's a hero fighter right hero fighters don't have oftentimes just a regular four up save and that's it right i mean he rerolls hits he rerolls fails hits against enemy heroes yes if he does this little challenge thing correct but my point is is that like the by the way that doesn't move his damage that much but yes um like oftentimes heroes have three up saves or even better my heroes often have three up two up saves rerolling extra feel no pains like we've talked about crappy heroes tonight low tan's got a five up slobby bio piper has a five up he's doing less than one damage against these guys mathematically okay when he can't take down slobby bio piper all right like that's not a great day for him for this for this ultimate storm cast hero like this guy just fails completely at his job and he's one of the the most sad heroes in the game it's a shame because he is like by the way an amazing model i super love this dude i mean proof in the pudding they did a whole the like special paint comp at golden demon every year at at the main golden demon there's a special category that where everybody has to paint the exact same figure and you cannot modify it in any way and this was the figure from two years ago they're three years ago now because it's a great help yes right beautiful open pose beautiful like classic storm cast look like the hero just like him standing there with his cape blowing in the wind right uh yeah but he doesn't do anything right so poor guy poor guy um the skates says is he worse damaged than mr d6 attacks somehow he's he's yeah like the he does that guy was close i had a fight with him another guy i know exactly you're talking about but yes that guy can do more things for various reasons um okay uh the um the how do we fix this guy simple we make him into what he should have been right uh we make him into a hero that actually kicks people's teeth in right like he's still a five wound hero on a five inch move with a three up save that's re-rollable great i'm down with all of that that's all fine i'll even keep the heroic challenge ability okay as silly as it is but like i get it that's his point he's a hero slayer right yeah um we're just gonna we're just gonna we're just gonna up his his fighting capability some okay um the first thing we're gonna do is we're gonna move his rend up to neg two and we're gonna move his damage up to two that's just that's just baseline that's where we're starting out okay and we're gonna put him up at six attacks like let's give this guy a profile right so six attacks uh uh threes and threes neg two two damage okay yeah as michael just said maybe reforge him indeed okay uh we're gonna get rid of that dumb thunder charge strike rule because i hate stuff like that like weird added damage on a six to wound where it splits out like no no no no no you hear you hear just okay go ahead and go with your suggestion uh you can modify that really easily give me your modification i want to hear what what yours on natural six to wound do a mortal wound in addition to the to the normal uh damage yeah i was gonna give him a d three on a six to wound because it's on the wound oh okay yeah there you go yeah exactly correct like i was just gonna have him kick a d three mortals in addition to any in addition to any other damage he would do yep yep that that'll resolve it and i'll actually make him a hero dollar yes 100 because he'll do a couple damage two to three maybe might get through and then if he rolls any of those sixes he that could push him into the five damage and kill you know solo heroes now let me give you the last ability you're ready for this tom here's here's where we're gonna get nuts i'm gonna write a new rule that i don't think i've seen anybody else have uh but here we go uh since since they mentioned it up above right okay so it's it's he's gonna be called like bearer of legends or something right and if you select this hero to be in your army he may always carry an additional artifact of power in addition to the normal artifacts of power you get assigned for your list and it comes off the standard storm cast table he can always have an artifact because he is the big damn hero and he has cool right to gear yeah right but he's a dnd hero in this world right yeah yes yeah what you say is you just say that he can uh he can uh choose a bonus uh he can choose a bonus artifact off of the you know storm cast whatever yeah i don't remember all their different tables because they have like they have tables upon tables upon tables magic horns and magic banners and magic lanterns and magic everything and obviously he's not taking any of that stuff right he's just taking one off the basic like storm cast heroes list yeah right and and there we go like that's an offensive threat he fits he he works like this solo operator he's not meant to inspire anybody he doesn't have a command ability he's not a utility guy he's a dude who you put in your army to go march out alone and he goes out and he slays enemy heroes right he's there to do that stuff yep there you go nice and and by the way that all those changes he'd probably be like 120 point hero right like he'd go up like 20 points because he's not that like he's still marching around the battlefield and he has to still get stuck in and he's still okay and most of his stuff is still only against heroes which means like with a five-inch move of a dude walking anybody with brains in their head just chaps him with anything else right right so yeah he's still not that good but just there you go like that's that actually would make him a potent threat so yep there you go i'm in cool that's all our worst scrolls so those are our 10 worst scrolls uh there you go uh do you have your own drop them down in the comments i would love to hear what you all think we missed there's a live i've mentioned a lot of other near competitors that were like close uh wild riders was another one i went back and forth on for a while regularly there's color one i went back and forth on for a while like boy oh boy chaos warhounds i mentioned those boy they those were in the mix for a while razor gores i don't even know what that guy's purpose is in the universe um there was lots of near misses that like that that are so close i was just like ultimately i said eh right uh so there you go but i'd love to hear what yours are drop them down in the comments uh i hope everybody has a wonderful holiday wherever you are uh if you if you're celebrate christmas then i hope you have a great christmas i hope the last if you don't and this isn't a holiday this is a holiday period for a lot of people so if you're celebrating any of those holidays i hope it's really good for you uh if not if you celebrate none of that crap then i just hope you have a great last week of 2020 this has been a rough year uh we'll be back to end out the year next week with our predictions for 2021 next week will be our annual new year's predictathon uh where we where we strap on the old take off the santa hats put on the tin foil hats and get down into what we think is coming in 2021 so wherever you are whatever you celebrate i hope you celebrate it well uh even if you're not with family i know a lot of people aren't you know are probably wisely not getting together with their family this year that's the smart choice be responsible be safe uh and i hope everybody is safe and happy and has a a wonderful end to a all in all kind of crappy year by kind i mean darn crappy year and uh let's pivot into a better 2021 so thank you so much don't forget to hit like on the way out subscribe if you haven't already but as always thank you so much everybody for watching this one and as always we'll see you next wednesday


Hello everybody and welcome to another hobby cheating video and today it's time to paint some necrons. And I know that's going to infuriate everybody because I'm aware they're pronounced necrons but I've always pronounced it necrons and I'm not going to stop now. But we're going to paint these undead skeleton guys from the 41st century. So we're going to do two versions of this. I'm going to take you through the clean version first and that's very quick and easy. I'm going to take for getting an army of ultra shiny scary terminator like skeletons on the table fast and then we're going to do a part two immediately after I'll do both in this video where we then dirty them up and I'll show you how you can take the clean version and make it look old and rusted if you want your particular group of necrons to be maybe from a dynasty that didn't weather the 65 million years so well. So this is one of the few times you'll see me not zenithal prime something when I'm going to start in all metallics. Now this guy has a couple elements that probably can be not metal like some of the interior parts of the connective things I think they're starting to paint black just to make them stand apart and I do like that we'll touch that later but regardless of that just priming and black is usually the best way to start with this and we're going to begin with a little of lejo metal color of course we're going to go for some gun metal gray and then some silver so that's where we're going to begin and I'm going to take you through this I'll narrate over the rest because it'll be pretty fast and we'll come back when he's all shiny and I'll show you some next steps. All right so all this is a two time speed but we're starting out with just some Vallejo metal color gun metal gray nice darker tone get some nice and shiny you notice I'm only spraying him from about a 45 degree angle and above just to make sure that I leave some of that dark underneath. Next up we've got some Vallejo metal color pure silver I'm actually going to hold him down to start out the first work here and I kind of move him around just a little bit. I am focusing in slightly on some areas that I want to be brighter top the head those upper armor plate shoulder pad things so on and so forth just making sure he's popping out nice and bright there again these are super quick steps like you could do so many necron so fast now I've got a mix of a sepia and black Vallejo gaming but you could also use anything you can use washes from GW you can use other types of inks etc and I'm just going in with a natal highlight in other words or a natal shadow I guess a river anti zenithal I'm shooting the color from below that just adds a little bit of extra tone and texture darkness it mats out the lower parts of the many the under parts so you don't get that metallic shine coming up so that's another again super fast so now I made myself a little oil wash this is just keeping it simple so we're just going straight black and now we're gonna that's nice that I'm nowhere near the camera that's fantastic but anyways I'm just got a big brush and I'm just slapping this on all over the place now one of the benefits of using an oil wash is that you don't have to be careful and you're not going to hurt any of your work so I just get it all in there make sure I touch all the parts that are like wet or sorry they have not flat areas and then I take a paper let it sit for about five ten minutes probably and I take a paper towel maybe 15 something in that range and I take a paper towel and I just wipe away you can also use little bits of cloth you can use q-tips you can use whatever you want you're just clearing off all that wash that sits there on the big flat spaces and leaving it in the recesses if you're using something like a paper towel you'll notice I keep rotating the paper towel so I'm not just smudging around stuff you always want whatever you're using like if it's q-tips make sure you clean the q-tips and so on and so forth but the beautiful part about an oil wash is unlike a traditional sort of shade wash which is acrylic and it's going to leave a layer of acrylic medium which is going to dull out your shine just sitting all over the mini this doesn't do that because whatever you clean up it just take it away completely because it didn't have a chance to actually set at all so it just remains in the recesses okay so we had a little bit of a jump there because now you'll notice his gun is all fluorescent that's coming in next week's video when we talk about fluorescent paints so you'll have to wait on that part I shot that in the middle of doing this because I was waiting on the oil wash to dry so now I'm taking some Vallejo metal color silver and what I'm doing here is just hitting those highlights that I want to be really poppy and really bright so a couple edges like the top is legs the back part of the armor plates there the spinal column the top of the head you know just basically anything that I want to pop out and be kind of shiny now one of the interesting parts about Vallejo metal colors you can consistently wipe it off your brush leave very little and then just feather it out it's one of the reasons I love this paint so much it's so versatile with just that silver I can actually create multiple tones and blends and get it all in there where I want it so I'm just hitting down like the side of his skull and you know the bottom of his the bottom of his face and those areas that are going to be really poppy and once that's good and I've got a nice shiny boy now it's time to get out the real shine so this is Molotow liquid chrome oh yes this is the good stuff so when you absolutely positively want the shiniest necrons in the room except no substitutions this stuff if you put it on there rather thick and then kind of smooth it out you will effectively get a mirror it will I have a group of kill team I did a little while back that I did in this stuff and I was much more heavy-handed with it than I'm being here and I can actually see my face like my reflection in their skulls so if you're going true you know Terminator T-800s or whatever that's the way to go you can be pretty heavy-handed with it to get the shine you actually do need to brush apply it it's actually a pen ink but you need to be relatively thick you can buff it if you put it on with an airbrush so it is a it is a buffable thing in other words taking a soft piece of cloth and just kind of rubbing it and it will shine up so that's a cool trick but there we go and now he's a bright shiny boy and you can see just how much that like the headpiece or anything else reflecting those are actually my painting lights that if you look at this headpiece there that it's reflecting out which is pretty great so with that done now it's just a matter of getting the in-between parts darkened so we have a little Riley or something like that gray and a little decay black from scale 75 but you could use anything you could use Abaddon black from GW or any kind of any kind of dark color like that I happen I mixed in a little a Riley gray because it's a green gray and I really like it and in general when you're doing sort of dark black colors it's just better not to use actual black regular black is the absence of color it's boredom in paint form and in general it doesn't do you any favors so if you can mix in some kind of color and on this since green is the only actual color on this guy I mixed in some that Riley green gray to it to kind of give it some more life so this is basically what we've got going on we're just hidden all these little armor spots in between all the skeletal frame that isn't a shiny armor piece is being blacked out and what that's gonna be there to do is to make everything else more contrasted it's pretty quick simple process these guys have very little joints some of the bigger guys in this set have a lot more exposed skeleton or more complicated joints but these guys are real easy so there we go with that we're you know all set if what we're aiming at is sort of the shiny type of necron the important part of blacking out these individual joints and stuff you know this is something they've started doing recently if you look at the newest jobs on the the the models that are out there for this re-release actually think it's a really good idea in much the same way as sort of blacking out the areas in between the storm cast armor helps to set off the color that extra bit of contrast by having those things be darker really helps now if you really want to spend the time you can go in there like they do and you can put little edge highlights on things I'm not gonna do that because we're not aiming at that level of a job here you know we got to put a lot of these little little dudes on the table you can see how we get something that's really shiny really reflective and just all in all is gonna look you know pretty awesome marching across in a group that Molotow when it dries I mean I don't know if you can see that but that's actually like a real reflection of my ceiling lights like it reflects like a mirror so that's why I use it for those high highlights it just really really really really reflects pure almost mirror like sheen so it's pretty amazing you can always smooth it back over with a little bit of the silver which is still bright but not as sort of obnoxious yeah there you go so that's that guy now if you're to the point where you're happy with this kind of a job then you're done obviously like I said well the gun will be next week and how we do the the fluorescence you know so you would take it to that level and this guy would be ready to go now if however you wanted to be a little dirtier well then stay tuned for part two which is we're gonna roll right into I'm gonna do this is one video so now we're gonna dirty this guy up and I'm gonna take this in stages so you can kind of jump off this train wherever you want because you can have him be just slightly dirty or you can have him be really really messed up and by the end we'll take him to sort of really messed up and I'll show you what that looks like okay so with that back to some narration and some high-speed video so now that we made him shiny it's time to mess it up and we're gonna do this with the paint you see on screen right now and I'll show him again in turn but I'm starting and I'm actually gonna do this to where you can jump off of this car this is a wagon at any point you want I'm starting with just some basic agrax or shade the reason I'm using agrax is because one it's black brown two agrax is super weak it is the weakest of the sort of three primary shades of nuln sepia and agrax and you'll notice I'm just pushing it into the shadow areas this can be a good step even if you don't want them very dirty because it will make the miniature more interesting so I'm just always moving the brush keeping it moving quickly and I'm just touching mainly the transition point between the mid-tone and the most shadowed area and it just adds a nice little extra color in there makes them look a little bit old like there's a little bit of grime on there but that's the minorest step now I've got some agrarus dunes which is a contrast paint a very nice brown contrast paint one of my one of my favorites in the range and what I'm doing here is again just reinforcing starting in the shadows hitting a lot of those areas you notice I don't let anything pool I don't let anything settle I'm always pushing around the paint and making sure this is one of the keys to washes and contrast paints and everything see a lot of people slop their brush in there and then just go on and stop like one smooth stroke that's not how you want to apply a wash no matter what you're doing or a contrast paint or anything you want to be putting an amount on and then pushing it all over the miniature with your brush like you notice how relatively little I go back to the paint but now he's starting to look a little more rusty still just tinted like maybe he's old metal if you just want something with a little more character a little more flavor a little bit of age that's where you go now we've got smoke dry rust and pure rust and this is where we're going to get into the real the real deal weathering so I start with a smoke which is a wonderful color from Falejo useful for like a million things but now I'm going with a little bit heavier application trying to really turn those deeper shadows those edges a lot of different areas that catch my interest a darker brown I'm especially focusing on some of these the new the new models have actual like scratches and dents in them so you can actually go and put brown or rust or you know something in those and it'll look like it's appropriate to be in that area so that's what you see me doing right there on the shoulder you can see how that gathered in that recess that damaged you know wound on his armor as it were now I'm taking the dry rust and I'm stifling it over some of those areas still wet it's fine like I just went straight from one of the other and you notice with both the smoke and this I'm moving my brush in a much more stifling fashion so I'm stabbing the miniature I'm not just I'm not just wiping it around instead I want there to be pattern I want there to be texture I want there to be some paint buildup right because that's gonna be a much more realistic take on the thing rust is very random I'm not thinking a whole lot while I'm doing this this is all Zen in the art of rusting necrons okay where I'm just dabbing it dabbing it dabbing it figuring out what looks good and finally here we're gonna get in the orange and this is a you know this is a touchy section so the more of this you use it's instantly gonna look like older metal okay like really heavily rusted and you'll notice I tend to focus the orange on things like the edges the most exposed areas the things like that so you'll see me trace along a lot of edges and almost pseudo edge highlight with it now not really I'm not going for some smooth thing where I'm tracing like we normally do with edge highlighting instead what I'm doing is I'm stifling it along edges and stuff like that right and just adding it in you notice that as I go as I work the paint off the brush it starts to get a little more frayed I still keep stabbing because then I get these nice interesting patterns finally I need to bring that all together so I'm gonna go back into my agrax that first step and I'm just gonna go hog wild okay I'm not gonna cover absolutely everything but I'm hitting a lot of this guy I'll state that yeah and I talk about this in just a moment but you want to make sure you mat all this out after you're done you need to get rid of that bright shiny metallic finish if you follow the exact steps I did go super shiny first and then bring it down but we'll talk about that more in a minute so moving that around you can let him dry rusted out and you know looks a little bit more battle worn at this point so there's lots of different colors you can add obviously I use those particular browns there's nothing special about the particular ones that I used you can use any replace it with Sarah from CPI replace it with lots of different contrast colors or inks or anything like that one thing that I did do afterward was hit the whole thing with a coat of ultra matte varnish because you don't want to leave those super shiny areas on something that's that's all rusted out so that the metal needs to get older as well you can still have some parts that went hidden by direct light like down here on the leg that will shine but they're much more dull especially in reality than they were before but there you go so whether you're looking for some clean shiny little skeleton warriors in the 41st millennium or whether you're looking for some rusty crusty goodness either way hopefully this tutorial will help you out so there you go with that I'll put up some final photos of them here after I'm done but I want to say thank you very much for watching this give it a like if this was helpful to you for any of your schemes but as always I very much appreciate you watching and we'll see you next time


This is a great question.  I have a hard time doing this because the transfer fee is especially doing a cheap test. So here's the thing Lately I've been doing a lot better just like I've gotten better at I was really good at buying the dip Great, right? And then I was like, maybe I shouldn't buy every dip because in a bear market sometimes that's not the great idea and I got a lot better at taking profits Pretty good actually and now I'm getting a lot better because of all these screw-ups that are going on with these platforms of I usually dollar cost average and Transferring things up the exchanges into my ledger and of course I keep two backups for my ledger with my mnemonic phrase one is in a safety deposit box and one is in my house and I use this thing called Stonebook link in the description. It's not fireproof, but it's waterproof. It doesn't smudge and last the test of time very good stuff So I'm getting a lot better at that. So it's like every week. I'll do that. Like it's just it's almost like clearing out my emails or You know sweeping the the the porch That's what I do now and I think it's Help me a lot and unfortunately, I didn't take that 3% off of Celsius so I'm gonna probably I might lose that I didn't lose, you know 100% geez wheeze Jungle Inc. Where'd you go? When a celebrity When are you gonna resume DC? I'm have a hard time buying a stick with both the Fed this weekend No, you're not over thinking it. So I did a video last Last week sometimes Sunday or Monday and I said the CPI numbers come on a Friday I'm gonna hold off and tell those numbers come up because I don't see inflation going down I didn't So I said there's one or two things that could happen. I could be wrong Wrong a lot So the CPI numbers are good and they are gone down then at 830 Eastern time I'll just take all the money that I usually spend and just Buy my my whole DCA right there as soon as the CPI numbers come out But if I'm right I'll wait a couple hours and wait for the CPI numbers that if it's super hot, which it did come hot I'll wait for the market to drop which it did and I bought a little bit But not as much as I should because I thought to myself, okay, well Genius if the CPI numbers are hot, what's the Fed gonna do? Well the Fed I Think are gonna go up more than half a point and if that's the case and the market isn't priced in I don't think half points priced in personally. So Mike wants you to wait some more So I waited some more glad I did now. Here we are. Is that the optimal thing to do? No it's just guessing but I'm gonna wait for those numbers to come out and if I'm right We're gonna get some pretty cheap crypto and that's really what it comes down to All right Yeah, stay away from that. I don't use dye. I use usdc.  I don't hate tether It's a strong word. I don't like tether And that's what we're at I like the usdc That's just me Do you think 90% of these altcoins will be legislated into oblivion someday? Perhaps But remember There's probably going to be that refractory period when it when it comes out and they say, okay Euro security you're not a security your security And then they have to come before the sec and then register and pay all these these things and who knows how big the fines are I know eos got registered as a you know, they said it was security They raised billions of dollars and they paid like I don't know 90 million if that's the cost of it I'm okay with that. I don't have 90 million though Where do you see the bottom? I don't know it's I can't even predict it I don't have a crystal ball Two looks but someone David Allen it's been a while. Yes it has Spend some days my man spend some days Burn it all to ash. Yeah burn scorcher theory Yeah, so that says so coffee says dan just wondered your thoughts on 2022. I think 2022 is wash honestly That's it 2022 will be downside of the rest of the year 2023 will be flat Let me just show you this I mean that's this I think 2022 is flat Our 2022 is gone It drops off a little bit in 2023. I think we see some little gains here in there, but we don't hit all-time highs and then 2024 we have a halving and then we got to wait, but here's the thing if some of you are thinking damn it I wanted to be rich Well, you're not and that's just how it is. That's how investing works. I'm sorry But if you got a a three five ten year horizon view This is looking pretty good. You're like holy smokes. Like I don't know what you do But in 2017 I was having I was having some troubles now 20 2018 I was having some troubles with the one of my companies and I was like, well, I could really use this crypto money didn't work out like that But it's okay because then I was able to focus on the business I was able to raise capital. I was able to dca for three years essentially and it worked out great Sometimes the things we want are not the things that we need and that's just the truth All right Jerky Jerky, Rob, what would you do in my steps but 2010 for 10 cents? Wow a bitcoin still holds a great amount in bitcoin around 50 wall It's probably my stablecoin bag is very big, but no trust. What would you do? I don't trust either man Right now keep it on my ledger Nobody has the right anymore to take any of our crypto. We should all be holding it Because but Jerky, I mean if I tell you anything like right now is like the worst time of all time To my knowledge, no one has cracked a ledger Well, I mean public information because they're servers, but that wasn't your crypto so but I mean heck My email was just hacked like three or four weeks ago. So But I'm okay with that because that says normal, but as long as uh You know my ledger is okay and my crypto is okay. I'm pretty good So jerky. I will just say be safe my man. That's the big thing Uh Coinbase making you whitelist your addresses I can see why Bitcoin taking ends away. I don't know man Uh, so chip says Rob, I've been dcaing for a little while and your opinion is better to pause dca and wait for it to level out There's two ways of thinking about it some people say This is it. This is uh, and this is why we dca because you never know like as much as I talk Let me put this out. Let me stop this banner. It's annoying As as much as I put it out where I'm like, this is where I think things are going. Here's the information I have never short of surprise in the short term of what happens with the market Sometimes it does the exact opposite of what I think it's going to do. That's just normal So if you think like, uh, maybe your dad can't balance or maybe just turns around Maybe we go to all-time highs then it's up to you to say, I don't think so me personally chip If it's me in my bag, I'm holding on I'm holding on to those cpi numbers come up And then uh, I'll see how far down it goes. I mean if it goes to like If it goes to 20k, I'll be buying And I'll just go from there But could it go even lower than that? No, it's hard to say but I don't focus too much on those numbers. I focused on what's going to happen in 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 Where are we? Well Historically, it'll probably be a lot better off than where we were Last couple of years. So just saying You're in the long that's great downs Being the long haul. I think that's the only way to to make it work I've seen so many super smart people do super dumb things See that's the difference between me and people like I know I'm not that smart So I that's why I'm just like I just want to be safe and uh, do the tried and true things that actually work Oh, Sam. Hey, Dan. I'm seeing a rain stream in Austin. I'll be having fun. Yeah, Sam I I met a couple of different people very nice very nice people Took some pictures post it and tagged me. You'll see It was good to meet people. That's for sure 50% of the water. That's not bad. I was about 80% of the water in 2018 I just met a code that all my kids and Greg would like escape rooms Uh, do you think Celsius was attacks were founded and whether they were founded or not You have to withstand those tests. There's a reason why They have those hackathons for those projects to see if people can hack them And if they're hacked and things go down that lets them know. Hey, we're not strong enough That's what it is. That's why you have a training camp for for fighters You got to you know, bulk that up and if you can't meet the criteria That's on you and uh, whether it's founded or not founded It happened and that's the reality So But it's either gonna happen now. It's gonna happen later Uh, let's see Rob having on the show it's for my portfolio. That's easy So here's the thing don't forget uh for sweat coin. That's a free app. You get free tokens They're not even crypto not yet There's a link in the description if you beat me in the steps, then I'll do your portfolio Live on the on the show. I'll tell you I'll tell you what I would do Whether that be right or not That's a good question. Jack McKendney says rob. Do you ever short during this time or is too risky? I don't short I don't go long. I don't do any of that stuff. Just don't And um, I just leave that to To the people beyond me. I'm very safe I'm very safe for my core portfolio 95 97 of my portfolio. I'm very safe And it's it's worked out pretty well for me. I'm like, it's not broke. Don't fix it Now there's another channel Dan D gen where I do like to gamble 3% or so of my portfolio and I say hey, these are some crazy wacky New projects that are out there and they're going to do great because they make the cut Uh, they have the cut the cut the community is awesome. It's huge. The utility is strong. It makes sense It's not a me-too product The team has done a lot of things in the past and you do a lot of things the future and the tokenomics are great They're not going to dump on me if I if I if I go through the CUTT and I find a good project I talk about it so far.  That would be the big question And then where do you keep those stable coins if you're keeping If you have 50 of your portfolio and it was in celsius and it was stable coin like well, that's stable Yeah, but the Platform wasn't and you you got to you got to be safer than that The safest play is to keep it in your ledger Not your keys not your crypto or not your bitcoin. So that's what I would say Yeah They said seven more rate hikes. I don't think seven more seem possible. And here's the thing about these rate hikes Jay pala can he can hike these rates all he wants to That's going to affect I mean, you know home prices and mortgages and things like that, but it's not going to affect Gas and the pipeline and the distribution channels Hikes don't help with that That is uh, that is the supply chain issue and they can't do much on that Uh, so that just has to be ironed out one of those things is of course, that's how if china's keeps locking down then It's going to be bad And of course if the war in ukraine keeps happening and we can't get any weed out of there or different products Commodities it's going to be even worse. So that's just the truth again. The narrative for me is not looking good That's just me though Master Blasch says why do you like usdc overtell them and tell you exactly why? Because the ceo of usdc I always want to say alistair ober aim, but alistair ober aim is a fighter in uc Alistar he's a ceo of of circle and he went before congress and he said look we've had an audit Here's all our paperwork and we're backed one to one for all the different things we have for our usdc So if we save we have a hundred usdc. We have a hundred dollars or equivalent of Of dollars for our usdc and you can see it's right here. Here's the audit and you can take a look This is before congress. That's good with tether. Yes. They had an audit. Yes. It was by an accounting firm Was out of Barbados or something like that. So i'm like And then of course there's been some some holes poked on it a little bit But but so far it has responded.  We're backed I'm good with that Not that like congress is great or something. I'm just saying that if you have the paperwork to prove it I'm good with that Eight of her soul who's winning cardano Hey tesla, hope you're good I try to be Honest and measured Okay, lovey-rod, but should we tell people selling thing at low is by low hold also something on that but here's the thing Weren't we saying the exact same thing a month ago when we weren't hitting all-time highs and bichon was at 40 000? Hold on it's gonna be okay 30 000 hold on it's gonna be okay. And then I think for see that's just it like me I'm okay. I'm like, okay I know we're gonna be in five years. So I don't want to care And and I I'm not affected Because I have multiple streams of income coming in and this isn't just like I work, you know One job or something. I don't I don't even have a job I I am my job Real estate and online education and Uh amazon business so like and then of course the sports facility So like for these things like I'm always having money coming in so it's not a big deal And I have a lot of assets and I don't have a lot of debt So for me, I know exactly where I'm where I stand But for other people Like they're taking their paycheck and going, okay You know, I can pay the mortgage and I can pay everything else But everybody told me and michael sailor and everything's like it's gonna go to a million So I'm just gonna put all this away and then like when the rainy day comes like there's no money And if you're struggling to meet the basics Like if you have a ton of debt on your credit card at whatever seven ten fifteen percent Or if you can't afford to put food on the table or you can't afford to have your You know pay your mortgage and you're a little bit late or even if you're not paying ahead on your mortgage. That's another thing If you look at the amortization table For your interest, I mean every percentage point. I mean could potentially tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars So if you're not paying ahead in your mortgage, I think that's a mistake, too But that's just me. I can't tell you what to do not a financial advisor So like as these things start to come down you have to ask yourself Did I overextend myself? Did I put way too much into suana when it was $200? Or did I put it too much into dogecoin or whatever else? Maybe you did and maybe you're like if something happens Car engine goes out get super sick family needs money. I have nothing in reserves. That's a problem So that's where it's up to you and there's so many different situations I would say be careful because I don't think we're gonna go up anytime soon So just be aware of that. I know people will say diamond hands.   I don't like these democrats and congress. So I'm just gonna keep you know making sure that You know do whatever I need to do to keep the inflation high and the republicans come on and say see inflation's high Joe biden he's out and then make it in i'm not Particularly interested in any any party because I think they're both incompetent But you never can tell like just because joe Biden is the president doesn't mean that j pal and the rest of the people who are on the board Want him to stay in or the people who are empowering congress and senators. Just remember that Yeah capo con probably the safest Yeah, I've seen a sentiment change these eight of these days too. Remember how ever we talk about and even me sometimes I would Be in complain like ah cardano was very slow to get things going However, sometimes the tortoise does win the race and they never gotten rug pulled and they've never been offline So just saying Someone did crack a ledger. I you know what I saw that video. There was a video of this of this hacker. This was Because what he did was somebody sent him their ledger and said I've got a bunch of crypto I forgot the I forgot the keys. I forgot the the code so I ran through a bunch of tests for like weeks and Because it wasn't updated to the next Uh software upgrade He was able to get in there and like he did a I forgot what it was But he was able to get into it and crack the ledger, but this was like a year ago So yeah, I mean you could do that. Uh, but after the upgrades, I don't know. I haven't heard of it happen yet, but it's a good point straight forward Most of my stuff is on voyager mission. We've only got 20 good Look, I like steve. I like the gang over there at voyager, but you got to do what's best for you. Remember that We're not here to marry anybody. We're here to make a buck So do what you think is important and best for you and your family That's what I'm saying I will say this walk away from coinbase. I will say this that of all the different things that have happened Uh coinbase has been up recently I haven't heard of any outages and I sure as hell hasn't heard of any kind of rug pulls So just saying I mean people will still complain that you know the the fees are astronomical The coinbase pro is very low And I just heard about this new coinbase one where they're gonna I think they're gonna they're going to Charge us like like $30 and like there's no fees and you get some Access to like individual help and it sounds pretty good Pay to play I guess Yes Yeah, and you know what? I mean, so long I can come back. They got some pretty smart people in there Where are you sticking your chain like I'm not I should be but I'm not Rob what ledger do you recommend ledger? It's just called ledger I don't even think I have a uh, I don't even think I have a affiliate link. It's just ledger.com Let me make sure Sweet mary joseph. Well, I have anybody come go the long one Oh here Let's see Yeah ledger.com ledger.com Don't buy it on ebay or something crazy like that Our amazon have heard some of the different hacks just get it from here my caution extra five bucks Better than better than the alternative What time friend do you prefer for showing her? I don't short 19,000 could be the bottom sure So I selling it all so I did a video like three months ago Was it three or two months ago? And it was it the title was sell and may and go away and I we talked about why That phrase is not just a phrase. It's turn it's it's it stood up to the test of time For all different types of markets for the last 50 years and not just the american traditional market other markets globally Something with the cycle and again, I always say this and I think I'll say it more This time is different. It's not different. It's the same thing. So When that cell may go away like I sold a bunch of my alts And I told the people I'm gonna sell because sell man go away I wish I would have sold a lot more in april than may i'm just saying but right now it is what it is so yeah And of course selling man go away doesn't mean go away forever It means at some point you come back and usually I talk about around halloween Is something sell man go away and something creepy something. I don't know what this phrase is Let's see Crypto zen it's a good one rsi Relative strength index none of that matters the game is over leveraged the money is made up of fake It is over leveraged. You are correct You are three percent looks much around the my three percent. Maybe who knows? But yeah, I'm just representing the celsius. That's what it is. Again, it didn't crush me because I'm like, ah You know Does rob think we're losing our coins and out. Here's the thing I've talked to alex many times in this channel. I don't think it's his intention to like be a master Thief and do rug pulls. I just think some things got ahead of that organization And I think they're going to if you ever want to Do anything in this world Again, you have to make that right because the flip side of that is You're going to get dope wand Which is you're going to be hauled before a jury and you know, you could probably go to jail So whatever happens there I'm pretty sure they're trying to make it right for whether that be The inner fortitude of why they want to make it right or because of the legalities of it. It doesn't matter I think they'll do as much as they can. I don't think it's going to be tomorrow, but I could be wrong Uh, I'm cautiously optimistic. We'll say Chances of big sex checks sex Centralized exchanges like coin or binds going under never can tell Never can tell that's why today is a great reminder Everybody thought celsius was I mean in the game was pretty rock solid and then his time went on and like maybe not so rock solid and then today it's like Hmm, maybe shouldn't put my life savings on there. So I will always from this point on Reference this and luna for anytime people go this time. It's different. Oh, yeah kid. It's not the same thing Just happening again again Okay Ada versus the basil fork. So we did a video on this. There's a hard fork coming out They're on the test net as of june 2nd. I believe with the end of june The hard fork for Ada for basil comes out and that's going to help out with I know is with transactions per second and throughput. I believe even price So we'll see how it goes, but I think right now I know it's not like over congested it for the codona, but if you were trying to use codona for like nfts Super super fast. Does that anything super fast? It's great That's it. Yeah Do you I don't want to say i'm convinced. I'm just saying the optics don't look so good Right now I'm not saying that they will again cautiously optimistic I'll take it and that's why i'm not gonna I'm not gonna see her in a pile on and say that these guys that I always believe This is one of my downfalls too Uh that there's the good in people and they're trying to do the right thing at the right time And sometimes it bites me, but that's why I have those those rules in place financially You know, I mean as far as like crypto and another thing is I learned in my Tons of years in this planet is uh contracts or everything and uh, you should always All contracts should be reviewed Thoroughly before signing and of course everybody should ask kind of collateral to make sure that they're all on the same page That's just my business though. All right. That's it. So look we're going to an hour. It's way too much I gotta get out of here. Um, but I will say thanks for stopping by I do appreciate like today's video Thumbs up subscribe all that great stuff. We'll be back tomorrow Tomorrow is a better day. Remember tomorrow's just today's just one day You know in a long litany of many days to come And I think we're Going to be okay as long as we don't have a short short-term Uh perspective keep things wide and uh, I think we'll be all right when in doubt zoom out Nothing lasts forever. All right. Thanks so much everybody. I appreciate it. I'll see you in the next one
