Really glad to see you picked up Halo Flashpoint Jay! I've been trying it out and loving the game with friends, it's been a good change from Kill Team. I wasn't brave enough to re base the models because I was worried about it messing with gameplay since the base sizes and model visibility are important in the game.
Can definitely confirm that a PVA "foundation" makes crackle paints crack much larger. Supposedly the same also happens with gloss varnish. I think it's not just about the moisture, since it also works that way on plain plastic bases. It seems more like the smoothness of the surface makes it easier for the crackle paint to slide and move around as it contracts, leading to larger cracks. In fact if you're using a fairly thick layer of glue/varnish, the cracks will be wide enough to let the surface underneath shine through. Very useful if you want to have e.g. lava flow peek through the cracks.
im so glad you picked this up! I had some issues cleaning up the moldlines, but ive been slowly painting up the spartan edition…yes every marine is different…yes im suffering
I hope to see more Halo here, brutes are coming and I hope they lean more into Covanant and Banished. Im eager to hear more about what you think about the game itself.
I've been playing Flash Point now for several months (since release) and it is the most fun I've had with a skirmish game in a long time. Mantic have huge plans for it and I've seen it really take off in popularity.
trick with Crackle texture pastes is that you NEED it to dry downwards, instead of upwards. I know it sounds silly. But try use crackling textures on the paper or cardboard, something that will gradually absorb humidity. Thank me later. Also you can pretty much prepare your crackled earth in advance on A4 sheet of paper and just cut out segments you like.
I live AK interactive, I have the Wet and Dry crackle medium, they normally recommend gloss varnish but I want to try the glue option next time. I would love a video with a comparison between artist grade crackle paste medium and other major makers of other crackle effects,
I've been waiting for this video Honestly I've been waiting for halo minis and to see how people paint them up for so long - i hope there's more hype around this and it doesn't just die. I've never really played tabletop stuff but i love building and painting models - you did this elite so well! Hoping you do more from the halo flashpoint range as i for one would love to see it
I think what you could've tried for the needles is to cut them off and use blister pack plastic then just shade that in a light pink ink and then just glue them into the body of the gun. Worth the experiment but it still came out dope.
Halo 2 is one of my favorite things ever. While I'm normally locked on to 40k I have absolutely no issues with the occasional Halo model. Keep them coming. I too would like to see some grunts and jackals. A hunter would be awesome.
I really like how you edge highlight this mini but blend it so it doesn't just look like you slapped down some lines at the very end like 90% of minis do. Could you make another vid with a general tutorial?
Jay, what if you used 3d printed needles for the mini. i'm sure some clear resin "supports" would work very well for needles and would give you that awesome translucent look!
In the 2 years I followed this channel I would have never thought I would see him with a bodypillow. one that is of a genshin guy nonetheless. but honestly I don't blame him
💯 with Jay - as soon as they demoed elites, I knew I was in. Spartans have been fun and they take to slapchop super well but gimme gimme gimme those beautiful aliens and I’ll be a fan for years (jackals - no idea why but I’d buy a set that is all jackals. Did it for halo ground command, would gladly do it again for flashpoint). Oh and the gameplay is super fun too. There are few things more satisfying then getting killed by a lucky shot and then respawning next turn to exact your revenge. Stupid fun, highly recommend it to any halo/skirmish/mini gamers fans
This game made such a strange choice to have a bunch of Spartans fighting each other as their main pack. It would have been much better if the 20 models had been something like Masterchief, a few Elites, some regular humans and a bunch of Covenant. That's what I remembered from the games. It was never Spartans vs Spartans. Maybe give the masterchief model different weapon options to keep it interesting. Unfortunately I'm really put off by the PVC. I've had loads of problems with them in the past.
Halo is a FPS originally and it's not my kind of game (I'm more into single player RPGs). I haven't digged too deep into the lore, but the aesthetics are enough to make me give it a shot next paycheck. Best case scenario, I find the game fun and have a good time with some friends. Worse case scenario? I paint some cool minis. Still worth it.
Part of me wonders if people take Helix mattress sponsors for a free mattress. No shame. They look very comfortable and I would take the deal in a heartbeat. But they always show up on the weirdest, most unrelated videos lmao.
Go buy your self a small roll of 1mm MIG wire instead of brass rod, that will give you enough pinning material to last you your entire lifetime all in one purchase. Its way cheaper too
the AK crackle paints are trash, dont use them. THe citadel ones are a lot better. The AK ones NEED an absorbant surface. On plastic they dont work (they dont tell you that anywhere but in their youtube video).
These random adverts that people who make content get. Why do they think people who spend all their money on plastic crack are going to be interested in a bed mattress.
I think if Phantom Menace is your favourite Star Wars movie anything is just your fault. But eh, it could be worse, you could like the Disney Star Wars movies.
@@ZaZi-Zeta01 I know. He is very positive. But that doesn't mean i can't spread a little of my bottomless pit of Disney hate. It's a passion really. Nothing a Jedi would understand.
Love you content, but... Helix sponsoring, seriously? there is nothing closer to our hobby? moreover sleeping is overrated for us poor nightly plastic toy painters...

two free body pillows?
Jay having a body pillow doesn't surprise me what was on the pillow though that did in fact surprise me
Jay in Bed wasn’t on my Bingo card for 2025
But im here for it! 😂
An ironic husbando anime body pillow is still a husbando anime body pillow.
I'm super supprised we havent seen trench crusade from Jay.
Same
Not every youtuber is a bandwagoner it seems, who knew.
@TheOtakuKat yeah for sure but would love to see him paint some of those. They are some cool models
00:15 Calling an individual film as a "star war" and not just "my favorite Star wars movie" is diabolical.
In line with someone that says Episode 1 is their favorite

Jay is the kinda guy who would own a necron body pillow
OR HECK EVEN A MASTER CHEIF ONE!
12:30 they already announced most of that stuff a while ago (the elites are banished elites, not covenant)
Mantic will have my money if they do some ODST's minis, MANTIC GIVE ME THAT AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!

i've done the same thing I bought the Farstriders warband from AoS because the one guy had a pet bird totally worth it!!

I've just finished painting my elites! It's so cool to see you painting these minis 🙌

Halo flashpoint’s cover looks like a cheesy jazzercise dvd 📀 exercise class

Man does that look good. I can’t wait to see the rest done.
I've been waiting for this video

Flashpoint is a really fun game.
The Phantom Menace is one of my favorite movies of all time. That Amidala is epic. How sir?
Halo 2 is one of my favorite things ever. While I'm normally locked on to 40k I have absolutely no issues with the occasional Halo model. Keep them coming. I too would like to see some grunts and jackals. A hunter would be awesome.
Waiting like a maniac for the eob video drop :)
Same here 😂
Would be great to see the Spartans painted up!
I really like how you edge highlight this mini but blend it so it doesn't just look like you slapped down some lines at the very end like 90% of minis do. Could you make another vid with a general tutorial?

4:46 WWWWWHHHHHAAAATTTTTT!!!!!!
Is that surprising?
In the 2 years I followed this channel I would have never thought I would see him with a bodypillow. one that is of a genshin guy nonetheless.
but honestly I don't blame him
Why does he have a body pillow of keaya from genshin bro
@ idk either for jokes, or its from his partner.
or Jay is a fruitcake xD
@Ashdakkadakka He's gay?
That elite came out great
4:45 is that a kaeya body pillow 😂
Can’t wait until jay finds out there’s a whole halo 3D printing community where he can make basically whatever he wants
You’ll be happy to hear the Banished have already been announced!
Love the video keep it up
Love halo, love mantic, this is the crossover I was waiting for !!
you can find all those models on etsy
Two free pillows? We only need one
Those covernent guys look like they'd make good tau proxies
They are as big as space marines though
You should add the Covenant to the Tau
More Halo please! the spartans are a mission to paint, details get a bit muddy, id be keen to see how you handle it Jay
💯 with Jay - as soon as they demoed elites, I knew I was in. Spartans have been fun and they take to slapchop super well but gimme gimme gimme those beautiful aliens and I’ll be a fan for years (jackals - no idea why but I’d buy a set that is all jackals.

i think you should try wrath of the lich king board game minis ... (awesome work mate ) !!
🥹 Paint more Mantic, please! Deadzone/Firefight deserves more love than it gets!
referring to a star wars movie as a "star war" chefs kiss
Id love to get into flashpoint.
When they add marines because theyre the best part of halo XD
Can't wait to see the video and find out what game you're talking about!...
Fiiinally, I've been wait for a good painter to tackle this game.
Well luckily we'll be seeing more of the Halo aliens in the future, like you need more distractions. ;-)
I want to be able to paint like this 😅
4:17 belisarius cawl be like
Lets go new eons video

a Prequel fan. You are forgiven for all past transgressions my son.
good taste in bodypillows
It’d be sick if they made a scarab
the waifu pillow lol
Jay, don’t even though activating auto translations option?
Loving the new Halo game although I've only got the Recon edition so far. Also yet to win a game.
not surprised he has a bodypillow

HALO WARGAME. WHEN DID THIS EXIST
That's it, I'm pulling my funding. The spending is just out of control. Please mail back this video view by the end of the month.
When you've been made fun of for liking the phantom menace and you find out your youtuber likes it too.
Extremely glad to see other games on your channel, im so sick of GW's attitude towards their players
Bro..why!! Now I have to buy this and a needle nerf. This why I'm broke but happy
Yes yes yes yes elites yes yes yes
Go buy your self a small roll of 1mm MIG wire instead of brass rod, that will give you enough pinning material to last you your entire lifetime all in one purchase. Its way cheaper too
