Such a unique model, such a shame that GW didn’t go further down that style of model. I love the “newer” style of Demon Engines, but the Defiler is so unique. I’d love to see a redo of the model from GW one day, but I doubt it’ll ever happen.
Very excited to see those wardogs painted up. I love how those Death Guard models paints up and seeing the layering on a larger surface will really help me replicate something similar on my own Knights
@yagsipcc287 was announced as a new release for the eye of terror campaign in white dwarf 282 (uk edition, the issue numbers are different in North America) which was June 2003
idk why but this custom Defiler kinda makes me wish yall would create a Necron Lokhust Lord someday. I really love the way this one turned out! Those highlights always bring the craziness of the color blends together on your Death Guard, its amazing!. Definitely an improvement over the old model that needs a model overhaul and not really an update. Its model has always looked goofy without some cool custom work done to it
cant wait to see all those walkers painted in your death guard style. Also, Ive seen a lot of people doing kitbashes with brigands and the deathguard pllaguedrones and stuff
I 100% love the defiler and I have four of them even though I can only run three so I’m in the process of converting one into a soul grinder so I can run it as an ally. Are amazing and the model is perfect. . Period I really like the paint job on this crabby boi, wow i have to take a look at how im painting and maybe make it more chaotic
that is a sweet paint scheme. Never liked the original Defiler; I've scratch built one, totally modded a GW Defiler kit and kit bashed one out of a Forge Fiend. Your printed model is a nice departure from the GW design. Thanks for sharing!
The scuttley rule would be cool if it could walk over enemy infantry and inflict D3 mortals. I’m just imaging the feet doing a bit of incidental impaling. Love the paint job and sculpt. It’s definitely one of the last relics in the Chaos line.
The Defiler is one of those iconic units that got my attention with DoW. I hope that GW doesn't replace it but gives it the terminator treatment of just uprez it. I love the demon engines but I hope they keep the more explicitly mechanical monstrosity rather than the recent fleshier direction.
Honestly the defiler could get a modern updated model similar to the Venomcrawler (which in of itself feels very much like a spiritual sucessor to it), and itd be a unit everyone loves.
For the name. In German the chaos defiler is called Chaos Geisel. What means as much as Chaos Chastiser. I always liked that name so I go for : Chastiser
always interesting toi see you paint your death guard, they are unique and i find this scheme to be one of the most inspiring. It just yell to us to put some paint on our many and go from there
Very very cool, buuuuuuut, I wonder if its worth raising the gun up to more chest height, especially if youre gonna paint it pink and put veins on it, if you know what mean 😉
Wow! Such an interesting defiler proxy and so well painted! It's so nice I want one of my own, However I LOATHE the head claws the moment I saw them. So unless a alternative set is released I'm going to have to pass on this.
Thought I should point out that the reason the Defiler looks so old and chunky is because it came out in 2003, near the end of the third edition, and not 2008. Personally I've always liked the concept of a big crustacean/arachnid-like daemon engine with huge pincer claws and a stonking big gun on the front, but the model always left something to be desired. It has some cool elements, but felt dated to me even back then, with the static, rigid pose of the flail being the worst offender. I think my personal favorite Defiler variant would be the Brass Scorpion of Khorne. I like that yours has a sort of retro 1990's-2000's vibe. It reminds me a lot of Sir Killalot from Robot Wars/BattleBots. Also loving the paintjob as usual.
@@mondo3802 I sympathise with your sentiment but the Crimson Fist being the very first space marines to created gives Jay the opportunity to do something a little different. He can go with a 1980s retro/judge dredd style common to the artwork of the original Rogue Trader book. And he could use a Horus Heresy Beakie as an homage to the RTB01 box set. It would be a break from the normal Codex compliant marine. You have to admit, that would be a spin on the normal SM paint job.
I feel bad for saying this but I like every about the model except for the mask hands. I love the shovel hands and idk, the faces don't give me that same feeling.
The defiler was kinda cool a decade ago, especially with conversions and stuff. I feel like it just really, really, needs an update to bring it in line with the newer demon-engines. A more demonic mix of mechanical and flesh.
Internet I need your help: For some reason, this videos script (so everything usually said by Jay) is read out to me by some AI voice in german. (This might be due to the fact that I am living in germany.) I have already set the location and language settings of the app to UK, but that doesnt fix it. I just want my normal EOB back:(
Im a simple guy, the Defiler is easily one of my favorite models BUT it *really* shows its age now which is a shame. I loved my crab walker and it was pretty good on the tabletop as well since it could handle a bunch of everything decently well, be it long range, CC or just shredd infantry with flame and lead. If they updated it, i think it could be really cool with today's quality of models. For a name, how about CACTICUS THE IMPALER. It sounds proppa'
I think I have a constructive criticism the melee claws are to static and don’t really register as melee weapons maybe having one up and open would emphasize that they are melee weapons. Fantastic paint job btw
Got to be honest I prefer the original, yours kindof looks like if the defiler was an enemy in a JRPG, looks to smooth and rounded to fit in with the style of GW chaos.

Should have been converted to a triarch stalker for your necron army. Yes please 🤔
That vainy belly gun is certainly something
That defiler should be slaanesh not nurgle.
The "pink rocket" comes to mind
The faces on the melee weapons really remind me of the first bionicles movie.
I cant stop seeing the legs with the masks as the old Bionicle mask for the toah of fire. It's really stuck in my head hahah
The claws' masks are literally Toa Tahu's masks from Bionicle... and I love it!
So glad I'm not the only one who say it
that was my firs thought
That legit does look like a fucked up Kanohi Hau
The Defiler was THE SHIT back in the day and STILL! Glorious Dawn of War days crushing fools with Defilers and Possessed Marines
Hell yeah brother! Do you hear the voices TOO??!?
@@johnkerr762 😂😂😂😂
Who the hell thinking the defiler is crap, it's funky and awesome
This Death Guard paint scheme is so cool. Good to see that it scales up to this big chap.
I have no nostalgia goggles, the GW Defiler looks awesome
The only things that looks dorky are the head and melee weapons.

Really Angry Lobster.
No that's a really stinky lobster.

That lower body veiny cannon.. 😂
I was looking for this comment. A pink veiny cannon, oh poor innocent Jay...
Oh he knows what hes doing… lmao
"I added veins to the shaft..." *sighs and opens comments*
That's a Pen** ... !? Oô
The Defiler was out before 2008. I got mine in like 2004.
yup came out earlyish in fourth and had rules in chaos 3.5 I think so what 2001 or 2002ish?
@yagsipcc287 was announced as a new release for the eye of terror campaign in white dwarf 282 (uk edition, the issue numbers are different in North America) which was June 2003
@@yagsipcc287 the defiler existed in the same space of time that doomrider existed, think about that
Yup, it came out 2003. I guess he got it wrong because the Soul grinder came out 2008
I got mine in 2005 for sure.

yo the war dogs are gonna look TIGHT in your color scheme, cant wait to see em
Showed up the mention the Tahu mask. Glad to see a lot of others beat me too it!
Im sorry but for me the goofy vibe stems mainly from the small head on top the original model. And you made that problem worse
Yea the head doesn't fit. Even with such a perfect paint job it looks wrong.
I 100% love the defiler and I have four of them even though I can only run three so I’m in the process of converting one into a soul grinder so I can run it as an ally. Are amazing and the model is perfect. . Period
I really like the paint job on this crabby boi, wow i have to take a look at how im painting and maybe make it more chaotic
That doesn’t mean that i won’t pick up the stl for this version, i could always use more crab people
that is a sweet paint scheme. Never liked the original Defiler; I've scratch built one, totally modded a GW Defiler kit and kit bashed one out of a Forge Fiend. Your printed model is a nice departure from the GW design. Thanks for sharing!
This is like something from bionicles was tainted by the warp, I love it.
Your Death Guard color scheme is amazing, and watching it come together is like magic
I think you've done a fantastic job on this nightmare machine! Give me the original Chaos Dreadnought any day but this Defiler is pretty cool.
The scuttley rule would be cool if it could walk over enemy infantry and inflict D3 mortals. I’m just imaging the feet doing a bit of incidental impaling. Love the paint job and sculpt. It’s definitely one of the last relics in the Chaos line.
it's got bionicle knees
This has to be my favorite color scheme out there. So unique and perfect for nurgle
I LOVE your Death Guard projects. The paintjobs are incredible
The second you said "All my armies have a theme" i knew it was gonna be fast death guard
Gorgeous paint job! I need to try experimenting more with some of my models. Thanks for the inspiration!
I love how this turned out, and without an airbrush necessary
Interesting choice to paint the gun veiny and pink fleshy. 👀
Released around 2003, not 2008
The Defiler is one of those iconic units that got my attention with DoW. I hope that GW doesn't replace it but gives it the terminator treatment of just uprez it. I love the demon engines but I hope they keep the more explicitly mechanical monstrosity rather than the recent fleshier direction.
I can't unsee that big veiny cannon, thus he should be called BBC (Big Bad Crab ofc)
Honestly the defiler could get a modern updated model similar to the Venomcrawler (which in of itself feels very much like a spiritual sucessor to it), and itd be a unit everyone loves.
For the name. In German the chaos defiler is called Chaos Geisel. What means as much as Chaos Chastiser. I always liked that name so I go for : Chastiser
I think the chaos gods would appreciate the amount of innuendo in this video. Definitely a glow up for the defiler
Comedic timing and word choice was impeccable as always 🔥
A whole new meaning for the D cannon....
That's a crazy Nurgle infected Bionicle
its claws look like bionicle masks
the final result is real cool but it's funny to see you paint something so abstract
Answering the question:
"What would happen if we made a dreadnaught for a Demon instead of a fallen Space Marine?"
i think giving the GW defiler a more dynamic pose could help make it better looking for example crawling over some city ruins
always interesting toi see you paint your death guard, they are unique and i find this scheme to be one of the most inspiring.
It just yell to us to put some paint on our many and go from there

Id have to give the vent slots on the chest and face grill and unearthly creepy glow
Honestly the GW defiler looks like a chilli crab dinner after you've eaten it mixed with a really angry dude
happy birthday :)
I love my Defiler so much. It is one of the coolest things GW ever made.
I think this is your best painted army!
A Defiler named Cactus Jack would be amazing
I Love the Defiler,.. you should call it .. Septicus Doomcrab
At 5:13 did you call the barrel of that gun a "veiny shaft"?
😳
We got Defilers featuring in the Corax HH novellas, btw. Dark Mech was busy.
Crimson Fists next, please.
How are you not tired of watching space marines get painted?!

Great model and paint job. I think you should name him Putrius ( Poo-tree-us)
You should make the war dogs look like its controled by nurglings so there crawling around on or in them it would be so cool!
Who expected to click on a death guard vid?
Btw looks awesome Jay!
Looks like a home build Bionicle :D
Definitely check out some of Tycho from play on tabletop's lists, he's done a lot of deceptively fast death guard lists!
The defiler was kinda cool a decade ago, especially with conversions and stuff. I feel like it just really, really, needs an update to bring it in line with the newer demon-engines. A more demonic mix of mechanical and flesh.
There's a noot-noot penguin in the belly :D
Cool model Jay
I'd love to see Abaddon in this color sheme
i like the defiler as a very kitbashable demon engine.
Jay, you are an inspiration to us all
Could we get a link to the specific resin you're using?
It is cool, it got me into csm almost singlehandedly
@EonsOfBattle another awesome video! The only name I think that is appropriate for such a spiky dude is spikey mc'spikeface the first

just change the audio track in the video settings
@@FirstHereticMy audio track doesn't have an English option 😂😂😂
5:25 all I could see was Pingu 😂
The Defiler should be called "Little Timmy"
Your deathguard look so good!
I love the defiler it just needs more flesh and guts to fit in with the other daemon engines
It's giving me Shovel Knight boss vibes.
Im a simple guy, the Defiler is easily one of my favorite models BUT it *really* shows its age now which is a shame. I loved my crab walker and it was pretty good on the tabletop as well since it could handle a bunch of everything decently well, be it long range, CC or just shredd infantry with flame and lead.

For a name, how about CACTICUS THE IMPALER. It sounds proppa'
Please do a video on painting those wardogs they're so cooll
Kaktus is the best name for a miniature
Your DG videos are awesome.
I love your DG color scheme
Name it "Putrigor the Pestilent"
Or just name something. It sounds cool
Pink "belly" gun with veins on the "shaft"...?
We know what you're doing, and *you* know what you're doing....
I love these colors it is such a fun scheme
I think I have a constructive criticism the melee claws are to static and don’t really register as melee weapons maybe having one up and open would emphasize that they are melee weapons. Fantastic paint job btw
There's 3 claws to pick from 2 down and one open ready for a clamping
It look like a bionicle
if a defiler is a machine with a demon put in it then couldn't a chaos marine use something like a tau mech suit to make a type of defiler?
Name for Defiler should be Bob.
Yeah, he definetly looks like Bob
Hey dude, can you do another video on the t’au? I think they suit you 😀
Hope we see the Defiler in an upcoming DLC for Space Marines 2.
I honestly prefer the GW defiler. It'll always be cool to me.
What about naming him Mr. Krabs? Oder maybe he is actually a Mrs Krabs?
Call the defiler Steve-o
Got to be honest I prefer the original, yours kindof looks like if the defiler was an enemy in a JRPG, looks to smooth and rounded to fit in with the style of GW chaos.
