Most importantly for Resin: The smell is the least of the concern. Resin is hard and sanding it creates finedust, that you lungs can't filter out. Collect enough finedust: Lungcancer. This goes doubly for potentially toxic resin. "Oh but I do this so rarely, I don't have any finedust in my lungs" Wrong. Live in a city? You have alot of fine dust. Work with Hardwood? Finedust. Smoke? Finedust. Respirators and Ventilation is Key. Proper Ventilation with a fan. Also wetsand whenever possible.
Additionally, the resin smelling horrible is a good giveaway for recasts, as the quality of the materials is lower and the chemicals used in its creation is often what gives it that wretched chemical smell.
@@voicesonsilent Ah good tip. I'm pretty positive it was a chinese bits site with google translated text. So almost certainly a recast. Risky purchase haha
This is easily one of the coolest Daemon Prince kitbashes Ive ever seen! I really love the idea of corrupted Bretonnian knights and the model looks amazing! I love this :)
Imo the opacity and slightly green color of the water adds to the Nurgle vibes. It makes the water appear supernaturally stagnant and diseased, like the corruption makes even a fast-moving river turn into a swamp-like breeding ground perfect for disease, insects, and disease carrying insects
I've already said this on your Army Showcase; You have got such a creative and inspiring way to go about your kitbashes. It does not surprise me that you take inspiration from other channels for kitbashing, and try to avoid "copying" their work, but the way you explain your kitbash solely on how your narrative is makes me genuinely inspired to go kitbashing with the few kits that I have :)
love the build, love this style of video where a lot of the talking is lore and the thought process behind your decisions instead of just describing what happens on screen like a lot of kitbashing videos.
Dang I absolutely love this. The cleanrot knights from Elden Ring were my first introduction to the corrupted rot knight vibe and you did an amazing version of it. Please keep making these!
Love the "Chaos Fisher King" angle this guy has going, with a noble whose internal life affects their lands in very physical ways. Very Arthurian, and therefore Bretonnian.
Looks pretty good! Nurgle is probably my favorite out of the Chaos gods, just because of the sheer variety in aesthetics you can have with him. Haven't painted in several years by this point, but I've got an ice-themed Death Guard army sitting on my shelf.
"silver doesn't rust".. well i guess that's true, since rust usually refer to ferrous oxide and silver is definitely not iron. Silver do oxidize though, and silver oxide is more or less completely black... Love the end result though, it has that corrupted knight feel that is in the Dark souls games..
Love the work man.. If you dont already know about the Grimdark compendium, then you should get involved... lots of stuff there that would suit your style
So after hearing the tale of your questing knight I immediately imagined the silver flaking off of him in the form of cursed silver coins, yes that's more Saanesh or Tzeench than Nurgal but the imagery would be very cool with the sort of vibe you get from some of the monsters in Del Toro's films. Also while silver doesn't rust it does tarnish, that's sort of a brownish black(think very old mirrors).
@@KitbashChaos What you don't want to try and fully claim the corruption for your own?? But in all seriousness Imagine doing a full diarama where the corpse in the river is kit-bashed by taking armored legs and and and armored arm that are for non skeletal minis but match the skeleton min armor aesthetic then putting a coin in the skeletal hand holding a coin, painted with the liquid chrome paint then paint the dividing line between flesh and skeleton(also intact and decayed armor) with Nurgal's rot then have everything downstream of the corpse dead both in the water and on the banks. meanwhile the is a line of those same perfectly shiny coins on the ground behind your demon prince and around each one is a dead patch bordered with more Nurgal's rot.
@@KitbashChaos Maybe use that for Tzeench and have everything be mutating rather than rotting away, maybe replace all of the spots I said Nurgal's rot for a neon ink over white OSL. I could also see some kind of forced perspective thing so that if you look at the demon prince from one side it looks like a stormcast or a just totally normal human, but from the the other it's clearly monstrous, maybe go for that reflection thing that was so amazing at golden demon this year where only in the r reflection is it a monster, could do water like they did or maybe an old silver mirror.
False. You can buy sand grit texture medium for priming canvases. Less than half the price of that overpriced crap. Mix in whatever acrylic colour you want and bam. Instant perfect ground texture. I hope this suggestion helps you make a bunch of models for yourselves way cheaper!
@@angelx9724 Actually that's what those ''texture paints'' actually are. Plain old texture medium for acrylics. They just added color and priced it x4. The even cheaper solution is pva glue, thin sand, talcum powder and cheap acrylic color or if you have available cheap earth toned paint pigment. In my country due to the use in Byzantine Hagiography, I can get sienna, umber and other earth pigments for like 2-3 euros in jam size pots.
Great mini and great video! Please keep doing the good work, subscribed. Olso, for a bigger humanoid figures like this I like to use Conquest bits. Have been kitbashing some mutants using plaguebearers bodies and Conquest hands/shoulder pads, looks great and fresh after mostly dealing with GW bits. Definitely recommend
Oooooh I’ve been seeing this guy hosted on Instagram. I am the guy who did the emperors children Prince with the angel wings and white mask. Good luck the contest! I won the last one with the centaur Khorne knight, but I don’t think I’ll be taking it home this time ha ha
Excellent work, thank you for sharing! I believe that helmet design does not rotate, but this being a chaos monstrosity, it does not have to obey such earthly concerns - chaos knights can no longer remove their armor after some point, if memory serves, as it grows into them.
Silver totally does rust... or rather oxidize (tarnish). Actually unlike gold, silver is quite reactive and tarnishes easily, it's just that silver oxide is kind of black-grey-brown rather than orange like iron oxide. Honestly with the dark shading on the silver armour it already looked quite decayed. Edit: having said that, the model looks excellent. I'm not normally a fan of dirama bases but this one is particularly awesome.
Pretty cool. I like the idea of his blood rusting and flowing down. Also for fur, i dont use Washes. I just start quite dark and then drybrush 3 to 4 tones higher on smaller and smaller areas :)
If you wanna keep the idea in mind of him wielding an executioners weapon, you could add to the backstory of his lore that the duke he served was a notirously ruthless and grim lord who instead of beheading someone would instead have their head be smashed with a massive hammer as a form of execution
If you want an alternative mud, I swear by Vallejo Eaarth Texture Brown Earth, comes in a great big tub, covers easily and you can just glob that stuff on with a trowel and it forms little dirt and mud mounds almost organically.
I agree with the other comments that since silver tarnishes black you could have leaned heavier into blacks (and and blackish greens?) for its corruption rather than rusts. But great model in the end. Good stuff. I definitely enjoyed the walk through your process and consideration of options etc.
It wasn't cheap! But not too bad either. I bought the bits individually online over the years. I've had them in my box for a while, just waiting for the perfect project
Historically, nobles were executed with swords, while an axe was for commoners. The executioner had to have a high level of skill, since using a sword was more difficult. A botched beheading could lead to a lynching of the executioner.
Amazing video! Love this idea and some real amazing kit bashing. What tool did you use for the green stuff? Looked like a silicone brush or something. New to using green stuff and wanna learn.
Yep I used a silicone sculpting tool for part of it. I just got it from a craft store. For the fur I just used a woodcarving blade 😅 I'm really not great at greenstuff though. I recommend Valbjorn if you're looking for real sculpting tips!
2:39 if the quality is bad enough that you have to question if it’s a recast, then Chances are good that it’s legit. Forgeworld resin QC is unreliable at best.
Honestly, same! I had plans for this guy as a Lord for a long time. But the competition required us to make a Daemon Prince so I put him on the bigger base. But I decided I kinda liked him as a smaller prince. It's unexpected haha
@NkenKenY it literally does? Older daemon princes are even smaller and those are still valid models It looks daemonic and lordly and its significantly bigger then a chaff daemon there is literally nothing else in a daemon army it could be confused for This hobby is mostly about being creative if you dont like that go be a tourist in some other hobby
Awsome Work!!! Might be a Question you are not willing to answer, but... where do you get your bits from? You mentioned a rather sketchy Site - Which one is it?
Normally I get them from Bits and Kits which is awesome and not sketchy at all! Highly recommended. For forgeworld stuff I go to Egghead miniature which is also not sketchy. This one time I couldn't find the bit I wanted and I think I ended up on some chinese recaster site. I can't remember which one. But Egghead Miniatures will have all the forgeworld stuff you could need.

For textur paste I’d recommend the AK line. They come in much larger pots so you get much more value out of them and good quality as well.

Oh man yours is really sick. How'd you make the mask?
@@KitbashChaos it’s actually a face from a dark gods model, I just printed and removed the face. That’s actually where I got the wings as well.
@@lukemclouth9530 Oh excellent!

I believe that helmet design does not rotate, but this being a chaos monstrosity, it does not have to obey such earthly concerns - chaos knights can no longer remove their armor after some point, if memory serves, as it grows into them.
