Yeeeeaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!
So we agree there is renegade part of the House that calls itself House Femto?
Please keep this video tentacle-free
*MURDER THEME INTENSIFIES*
I'm hoping that GW will make a "Squires" or "Household Troops" or something like that as a kill team
That would be amazing.
That would be awesome!
I could get behind that.
There are probably already too many junk units getting released in kill team.
Household Guard is the term I've seen typically attached to them. And there's a handful of pretty neat art of them here or there, which could provide some basis.
"just a little squiggle" proceeds to free hand perfect dragon
Yeah, I saw that, lol it's pertect!😂
Insanely good brush control on this guy
Seeing the finished dragon made me say aloud "how the f***"
Nice Idea, the Solar Auxilia really lend them selves to the Knight look. Have to get some for my Hawkshroud Knights and run them as Voidsmen-at-arms in game
That sounds awesome
interesting to hear the victorian era interpretation of knight houses. thanks duncan!
This is quite a tempting idea for a project. I have Mechanicus-aligned Knights but since I already have a Skitarii force some distinct models in the Household colours would look interesting.
It sure would
That the most recent Knight codex did not take the chance to bring flavour to the whole concept, with levies and support troops/vehicles is a damned shame.
"Honour and Fury, Courage and Strength!" - House Griffith motto
I love this House so much!
Great Paintjob. Finally something different then the standard Auxiia paint schemes. Thanks a lot for sharing this with us.
I absolutely enjoyed this one and its nice to see your classic Knight army expanded, with the wonderful Solar models.
Just a thought, but the Paragon Warsuits go well with the Knights - being smaller than the Armigers - and maybe one could be leading your footsoliders? Maybe as a lone missionary from a Sisterhood thats taken up residence in a Household? Not sure how that would fit into the rules, though.
I want to see a showcase of the infantry running alongside the knights.
Ive bought some with the idea of doing some subtle details to match them to my knight household. Thankyou for giving me the inspiration to go a little further than just a shoulder pad.
Top work!
Awesome. Glad we could help.
I was waiting for you to paint a big beefy arm on that dragon 🐉
Honestly, and im not 100% sure why, Duncans House Griffith army is the single coolest army ive seen and ive been at this for 10+ years now myself. I do also happen to have a love of Imperial Knights too so im sure thats a part of it but dear lord do his look amazing and so cohesive and detailed without being garish ridiculous.
Wow, thank you. It's a fun project.
Such a cool idea. My house took over its forge world during the heresy* so I'm really tempted to do this with Skitarii heads. Going to be interesting translating the blue/white/orange of the AroAce pride flag on them.
*why it has more ancient patterns of knights in the modern setting.
Ngl, the notification looked like duncan dropped a house painting tutorial
Beautiful work
Thank you so much 😀
Beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers!
Damn it duncan. Why did u have to put this awesome idea in my head. Haha so beautiful!
Sorry lol
House Terryn approves of this message from our brothers-in-arms of the noble House Griffith 😁😁
Awesome !
Wonderful paint guide, thank you for that. How did you manage to attach the questoris knights canon and chainsword to the cerastus knight?
Can you make a video on how you clean and maintain your brushes? No matter how well i try to rinse and shape mine, I can can never get them sharp enough to paint the levels of detail that you're pulling off.
We have a full tutorial on doing that over at the Academy. My advice is buy a decent quality brush for details, one that holds a good point. Try and avoid synthetic brushes for detail work as the tip of the brush curls.
Ten points for house Griffith-dor! 🧹
🤣🤣🤣
You can tell he likes his stompy murder robots by the Battletech Starter Set in the background.
I think it would make more sense to use them as allied Voidsmen at Arms from the Imperial Agents allies list, as that is 100% legal to do, rather than use them as guardsmen.
What games do you play currently, Duncan?
Old World, LOTR, Conquest and Skyrim
Thought it was going to be a Legions Imperialis Auxilia, but this is nice too :)
That tutorial is over on the website 👍
This one would benefit from some simple OSL. A lot.
When doing the armour, why not just do a recess shade to make the plates have the colour you want rather than shading and layering. Is one better than the other?
It's down to how much time you wish to spend on a miniature. Generally, in my experience, it's quicker to layer than doing a recess shade especially when army painting (which is the method we are teaching here as most people would paint a unit not a single mini)
Thank you , DRPA .

Thank you 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
@@DuncanRhodesDRPA My pleasure , your hard work , thank you , DRPA .
🐺LC .
It genuinely blows my mind seeing how many fellow berserk fans are out here
I don’t know if you know, but a lot of these comments here are in reference to a character from a manga called berserk - Griffith. Strongly recommend, but you might no longer like the name Griffith afterwards haha…..
"I cannot confirm or deny my own opinion"
ok.
😁
I want to use those models as my impy guards
That's not the brush that has seen better days... :/
No, it just got too haggard but we are going to frame it and hang it up in the studio with full honours
And his obsession continues.
That's so Britishly polite.
"I'm going to blast you with giant walking death machines... look, some chaff ground troops you can annihilate so it doesn't sting so bad."
It’s like how they take turns shooting volleys. Make sure you wait after you’ve shot to let the enemy have their volley
"To begin, paint an S. For snake. Er, dragon. Er, whatever. Then, we'll paint a more different S." - Strongbad
Exactly where my mind went too.
Forgot the big beefy arm on that wingaling dragon.
A chevron is just a consummate V upside-down.
I love how freehanding the dragon started out EXACTLY how Strong Bad drew Trogdor! "Start with an S. Then a wing coming out of the back.
I'm so glad you said it I was thinking it would be troggy and then it cuts to a perfect miniature freehand dragon on a 5mm shoulder pad lol
Damnit, now all I can think of is a Salamander's successor: The Burninators! 😂
Never realized Duncan fell under Griffiths command after the Eclipse.
Bravo sir, well done painted! You earned your self the Crimson Behelith
Thank you very much
@@DuncanRhodesDRPA WHAT HAVE YOU DONE
Hey Duncan, Don't know if you'll see this, but I just wanted to say that you have been an absoloutely incredible role model for this hobby! you have been my main inspiration, and you are what started my love for House Griffith- specifically by naming it "the knightiest knight house that ever knighted"- so I just wanted to say a massive thank you for all your incredible influence that has kept me invested in this hobby growing up- from 8 painting my first night goblin, to 17 now with about 4 knights and a recent Lion El'Johnson! I just wanted to you to know that without you, most of this wouldn't get done. So, from the bottom of my heart- thank you for all your diligent work!
Not least, finally a colour scheme and model for House Griffith men-at-arms that I've been planning for ages!
Anyway, Many thanks for all your work, and I wish you the best of luck and success moving forward! (P.S my personal fav. video of you is the chaos knights mental breakdown! 😂)
Hello. Thank you so much for the kind words. Rog and I are glad we can help 👍
I love the solar auxilia, their style is one of the best of all, as their lore background
HOUSE WHO MF??? SOMEONE CALL THE DRAGON SLAYER SPACE MARINES.
The lasguns these guys have are so classy.
I had this exact idea for my hawkshroud army! I feel knight households would def have 'Men at Arms' infantry on the field. Freeblades and chaos I feel like would be the only knights to not have these infantry with them
LOL: Not Bretonnians in space... Sadly as I did not work for GW I was not present at that meeting... And so my Knight House is very MUCH Bretonnia meets GoT... In space. All said, great looking mini Duncan. I've been wanting an excuse to pick up some Solar Auxilia.
Can we get a tutorial on these knights in the beginning, please.
I am just so curious what kind of a color scheme you would find for genestealer cults. Corrupting an army is just a very interesting concept and I would love to see you do it. Much love ❤
This man is the Bob Ross of Warhammer.
Lovely tutorial, any chance we could get a House Griffith Knight painting tutorial? Would be really fun to watch.
We may just do that...
Awesome job mate, the precision is incredible 👍🤟
Thanks 👍
When Duncan will make his version of Contrast Paints and will name it "one thick coat"? 🤔🤔
Probably 🤣
The bone armour is so satisfyingly crisp looking.
Thank you. Just two or three thin, smooth coats.
He Said the thing!
A Dragon has 4 legs. That's a wyvern, which as only 2.
Truye dat
I claim plagarism! XD I had a very similar idea when the Solar Auxilia box was revealed - a sort of neo-Feudal Guard regiment, tied to a Knightly Household.
Fan-freaking-tastic! I’ll be doing Caliban Jaegers for my SA, but I’m definitely tempted to do this style instead!
Awesome! Also more excited for the Lord of the rings stuff in the background haha
These Solar Auxillia troop models are lovely. GW have nailed them for the Horus Heresy.
Its infuriating that all they have is the Vanilla Cadians for 40k
Why doesn't GW release more guard factions ?
The krieg are great models but not for me.
They would sell in my opinion.
Rememeber the Guard are the main force in 40k not the Space Marines.
Space marines are GW money maker, i know.
If GW made a real effort with the guard i think it would pay dividends for them. They are a great force to use / fun with a lot of choice of different units.
But [ maybe im wrong ]
your _BACKGROUND MUSIC_ is louder than your foreground narration O_o
Did you just casually free handed a dragon on a guardsman shoulderpad? 😮😮
::stares at my Solar Auxila pile of shame:: You may yet find life my frineds? Great video.I think these models are fantastic and I had to get them because of it.
As a school child in Wales, I could only have dreamt of drawing a dragon as good as you did at miniature scale. I couldn’t even do them on A4 bloody paper.
Thoughts about the legion-aligned solar auxillia schemes? I think some of them are pretty interesting! I'm also curious if they would release other legion schemes?
You look like Limmy from Limmy's Show in the thumbnail. I got a giggle when I realized it.
We need a crossover.
We had the same idea, my good man. I, too, am using these Auxilia models as my Knight House's paired Infantry regiments
Thank you Duncan ! Great idea & cool miniatures !!!
One page rules has you covered for this .. make a titan lords / human defense force list.
Cool as always. 👍
Why are you such a fucking chad mate. Thanks for all you do.
You gotta show us the complete force of the house guard.
So House Griffith Rhino video when? 😉
I love the cream armour as the neutral tone then the flashes of colour bring it together 😊 I picked up some raygun glow recently so you've reminded me to have a go at some plasma guns!
Awesome
That is bloody fantastic
Dammit I guess I’m buying some Auxilia for my House DeWynter
Do it!
Imperial knights? I thought we were in friendly terms...
Best wishes: chaos knight enthusiast.
You should make a chaos knights army called House Guts
Mmmm......
face mask looks like the Norts
I read this as house griffondore
Love the cyberpunk theme
...I never thought to use the solar auxilia as the house foot soldiers....I'm totally "borrowing" this idea!
Borrow away!
Is the Gondorian Infantry helmet in the background an United Cutlery original? If so, consider me extremely jealous 😢
It sure is!
what a great idea
Why should you never take advice from a group of gryphons?
Half of them are lion.
Touche! 🤣
Let's goooo!
Superb! I'm especially impressed with the small dragon symbol on the shoulder.
I just want to say thank you. Although I am not following along to these vids, they have helped massively in taking my minis up a notch. I now understand how to thin paints and thin layers, I use my washes then go back over with highlights, I use multiple techniques you have shown now. As a newbie it was hard to feel good about my minis when you see all the youtubers making masterpieces and saying they glazed them, stippled them etc... But you show methods that newbies like me can do while still making them look amazing.
G-G-G G-unit!
Duncan... I love ya buddy but my wallet can only handle so many ideas hahaha
You and me both!
Cool
I was very confused as to why Limmy was holding up a miniature until I saw the title 😂
Please do a battle report!!!!!!
This is an excellent guide as always. Was that a Cerastus conversion at the beginning?
I'm new to painting as a hobby, and your videos are great inspiration everytime I get frustrated or burnt out a bit. My minis still have a long way to go but your explanation of techniques and what to do with brushes etc has helped immensely. Thanks for all you do.
Thats awesome. We are glad we can help 😀
Thinking of using solar auxilla as a base for my brood brothers.
Exquisite content and exquisite color scheme!
Meanwhile, I wish to know if the Imperial Knight (Questoris and Armiger) painting takes lot of time? I'm very interested in Knights assembly and painting, but i'm afraid that it's a very long process (as for me, I make 3 plague marines for 4-5 hours).
The first Knight you build can be a little tough as it's quite complex but once you've built one you'll understand how they fit together so the rest will be easier.
@DuncanRhodesDRPA Great thanks!!
God those look amazing
Thanks :-)
Duncan rolls up sleeve to show house Griffith tat!
Did you airbrush your knights? I've been wondering if painting them with a brush is really viable.
All done by brush 😀
@@DuncanRhodesDRPA That's crazy. Thanks man.
