Yep, hands-down the Corpse Collector is by far my favorite mini I’ve seen you paint. That thing looks like a towering horror of metal bands and rotting hamburger. Fantastic creature for a horror game.
The thoughts of the thinking man's hobbyist. No recipes but so many ideas and perspectives to touch any mini painter at any level and add a new little dimension. That's the strength of Alex and his work. I never miss a vid
Plus this introduced me to crippled god foundry and I don't know how I'd missed them till now. Very strongly themed monthly patreon packages, plus today there was an extra discount so I picked up some older stuff I couldn't resist
Thank you Phil. And yes, they do seem to have quite a lot of interesting releases. Some very specific and some not. Like the dead.. refusing to stay in the grave crusaders could be played in any game requiring a historic monster.
A blow dryer works well to help release the supports from your print. No hot water rinse needed and you can avoid the need to responsibly dispose of the water...which would otherwise be contaminated with remaining resin.
Maybe a Paynes grey for dead flesh instead of a straight blue? Make it a bit on the pale side with a violent or green wash highlight? That corpse collector looks insane!!
all the nooks and craniums...gotta admit and feel slightly ashamed I didn't see that one coming :P Always nice to see a new video from my favourite Scandinavian :)
I have one safety tip about resin handling that I think may have been overlooked: You really shouldn't handle uncured prints with your bare hands at all until they've been fully cured, even if they've been washed heavily prior to support removal. Otherwise, your work is excellent, and I appreciate how informative this video is.
As always! People who watch this channel tell your friends to watch and tell them to tell their friends! My man with the little tutorials all mixed in with story telling. 😍 Constantly an inspiration to painting!
The writing on this video is fantastic. I loved the segment with the random words for inspiration with painting zombie flesh. Very cool video. Very cool miniatures.
What a great lineup...and presentation (as usual). I'm really digging (no pun) your Egyptian occult idea...so very many possibilities there: incorporating Napoleonic historicals such as fusiliers, chasseurs, and Mamelukes. A fierce band of fortune and vampire hunters alike.
@@52Miniatures But what about the camels???? No self-respecting treasure-/adventure-seeking party can do without camels (or asses, donkeys and the like)!!! I "think" this is a great opportunity for some scratchy-building on your part ;) Just sayin' Cheers!
I appreciate all the different textures and varying degrees of contrast you applied to that hulking corpse construct. Really makes the eye wander around looking at all the body parts.
Thanks Knarb. It’s even worse in real life. It’s kind of difficult to focus on one thing. Probably makes it a “failed” paint scheme. But I like it. It’s like a rotting bag of MnM’s
Hi Alex, once again, thank you for your immersive, wonderful video, the minis are stunning , and your paint job is amazing, I found you think just like me about undead, they're not clean, not shiny, the old bones are brown, dirty, green or black with moss, you did again a job that I'll think about when I'll paint my next undead minis, and when you talked about having a undead creature at the door you made me think of H.P. Lovecraft "The thing on the doorstep", so thanks again for sharing your experiences with us
ça faisait quelques temps que je n'étais pas passé sur votre chaine. J'en avais oublié à quel point j'appréciais le ton de vos vidéos. Merci! (maintenant, j'ai plein de vos vidéos à rattraper...!)
The single, black glove in the painting footage, brought Ian Dury to my mind. Thanks for the reminder. "In all the little nooks and craniums" 😆 Those hands made from legs are a wonderfully odd detail. The paint job looks a bit like an illustration by Edmund Dulac.
Really glad I found this channel today. I've tried to brainstorm where to insert a corpse collector in my D&D campaign and began to second guess the idea. Seeing this convinced me I need it. Since it's a virtual game, I may need to grab an image from your video to better convey the grotesque.
Love it. Thank you for sharing. The first miniature is just amazing and I love the variety you brought in with your paint job! The dead templars are really cool too, especially given the time it took you to paint, and your son did a superb job 👏. It is great to see you experiment with different types of paint and different approaches. Finally, I like the fact you use PPE while 3d printing, many youtubers don't seem to do it and it sends the wrong message.
I find that the best resources for dirty undead (like zombies and ghouls) are videos of dry aged meats. You would be surprised how decayed and rotten flesh could look so colorful
Sometimes I find the idea of painting something overwhelming, especially when it's a lot of random junk mooshed together. Watching you start to paint that first corpse made me feel that, and I wasn't even the one painting it. If I was painting this I'd have to start by painting the whole thing as dead flesh and then start picking out individual details until I was done. With a really big brush, too.
What great vid and those minis are just awesome! I love the way you pick colours that not only highlight the various details but also tell a story, they describe the various parts of the mini…especially the large demonic beast made of corses! Going to watch again!
Exquisite corpse...mountain you've painted there. Yes to theatrical oozings/spatterings I like the lapiz lazuli colour skinned vampire - counter intuitive but it just seems *right* on seeing it. Your painting skills obviously help sell it in this regard
I love your theoretical explanations of why you choose your colors instead of a binary tutorial. Every video you make gives me insane inspiration to just slap colors on a model, see what I get and repaint it if I don't like it. It's very much removed my ego and hesitation as a painter. I've fallen in love with the process, and less so the results.
It took me my whole adolescence to stop painting undead like "Jason and the Argonauts". Just lightly following along, with my tea, you reminded me that once the undead are walking around again things really start to fall apart. I think I'll finally be able paint a necromancer that'll bring my hordes to completion.
Spectacular video! Just started working onbsome orcs that I wanted yo give some weird colouring too and while they're not undead, this is the perfect inspiration!
I was literally trying to brainstorm up a "flesh golem" turns out Crippled God's Foundry already made what I was thinking about, its glorious. Love the paint jobs too, but I had to chuckle about the Djinn. Wishmaster and Supernatural ruined any fun Disney version hah
Lovely production and painting, I always enjoy your narration and explanations. Really I shouldn't have watched this while cooking dinner but that's on me, not the excellent descriptions of decay and rot
How did you like the Scale Color oil paints? I’ve been looking into buying some oil paints to really experiment with that aspect of miniature painting after the many awesome works you make with oil paint.
They seem fine. Admittedly different from artist line oil paint. The main difference I’d say is that all of the ones I tried are mixed pigments made to cover. Artist paints can have pigments that are more transparent, great for some things. These all seemed very opaque. This on the other hand can be a good thing. With artist single pigment paints, one usually has to mix things to get a covering paint.
“I tend to be a little detail oriented “. Not to worry, we (sorry for the royal “we”, make that “I” ) forgive you. 😉 Add your inspiration and creativity, both shown again in abundance, and this makes another cracking good video! Speaking of “cracking” that undead fellow is dreadfully ugly --in a good way of course. 👍
Wait, did you wear a mask just to print and clean your prints, but went ahead and cleaned the supports with no gloves before curing? At least the edits make it appears so...
I really like watching your videos. Since you are rather new into 3d printing minis I would like to recommend you to use some superglue activator. And instead of using a warm water bath to remove the supports you can use a heat gun to warm up the mini. I always found the water method quite messy.
Congratulations, you won First Rude comment of the year. What a great way to behave to a total stranger. If you don’t like how I talk, stop watching, don’t take it as a reason that it’s fine to insult.

Cool, great to hear Timothy. Thank you
Incredible work with the miniature. It looks almost like the COD WW2 Zombies giant boss.
Thank you North
The random napoleonic piece is just genius
Random is king / queen
I love that corpse collector, the colours are great, but those join lines are really staring me out. Really wish I had a printer.
The abomination is pure horror. I need to fight something like that in a video game.

This Vampire is Epic!
Thank you 🙏

You never cease to amaze me Alex and your son is a natural artist. Thanks 👍
Well thank you humbly 🙏
The Werewolf Hunter video was Epic
Thanks Rob!
Maybe a Paynes grey for dead flesh instead of a straight blue? Make it a bit on the pale side with a violent or green wash highlight?
That corpse collector looks insane!!
Thanks W for the tip :)
Everything blue is not a smurf. So I happen to like your Vampire skin.
Great!
First, 1:04 in: Props for demonstrating good health and safety.
Ruined later on by washing uncooked resin parts with bare hands!!
Oooh the Moebius artwork on the wall!
I know! Lucky me :)
Favorite line and worth quoting, “a Zombie horde would not discriminate. All brains are tasty.” ❤️
the color grading in your videos is amazing.
Thank you!
Excellent work, thank you.
This was fantastic! The purity of printing off unique miniatures and exploratory paint jobs is a pure distillation of how creative this hobby is.

Wow, You Sir are a gift, thank you.

Awesome job on the minis and glad you gotten them my friend
Thank you Matt 🙏
I notice that you liked this project. That is good!
Thank you for all of the effort you put into your videos!
My pleasure Nat! Thanks for watching
Nice to see you give oils a try. Blending with them is a dream. Very nice for stuff like skin.
I do want to keep going, but probably on selected areas. Like you say, on skin and such.
I have one safety tip about resin handling that I think may have been overlooked: You really shouldn't handle uncured prints with your bare hands at all until they've been fully cured, even if they've been washed heavily prior to support removal.

Man you have to paint the Old Dominion minis from parabellum conquest i bet you can make something amazing :D
Easily one of the coolest looking minis I have ever seen !! Zombies are just "living impaired"....
Ha ha!
Just found your channel. Such a joy. I enjoyed your humor and including the kiddo. Great information on top of that. Thank you.
Welcome to the channel, thank you P

Thank you T, theatric realism is great in all kinds of mini painting but certainly with undead :)
My favourite sentence of the video: "good looking undead..." o tempora, o mores! even carrions become fashion-victims :D hahaha
Nothing sells like rotten flesh 😂
That won't improve the relationship between Nurgle and Tzeench...

If you're looking for stats, there's a monster in Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft called the Zombie Clot (iirc) that is pretty much exactly this
@@skeeter5076 Looks a little disappointing at only CR6. In my mind, I was conflating this with a cadaver collector, which is more potent.
@@pdubb9754 Ah, I haven't actually read the stats in some time, I just remembered it and thought it may be useful for some people

Great paint jobs on all of the minis. The first one is truly horrifying in the best way. 🤟
I find that the best resources for dirty undead (like zombies and ghouls) are videos of dry aged meats. You would be surprised how decayed and rotten flesh could look so colorful

Yes it does!

The zombie looks fucking awsome but for the love of god fill in the huge gaps next time, it's all i can see!
Such a great video, but the gap on its left arm triggers me... considering your very much attention to detial, I wonder why you did not notice that.
It doesn’t really bother me honestly, don’t know why.
Nope, nope, nope. At the 9 minutes mark i had to stop the video. DISCLAIMER: video not ideal for lunch break.
Warning warning! 😂
Did you varnish your minis when you finish?
Yes, I always varnish matte. I like how it looks.
😍😍😍
