Would love to see a video on how you tackle painting a busy, overly detailed model, especially that fantastic model. I shall call him bubbles.
All hail the mighty demon of the deep Bubbles!
BUBBLES FOR THE BUBBLES GOD!
I think the secret to painting an overly busy model like this one is probably using a mother color. Still, excited to see the eventual video of it being painted.
I want to see a future painting video for it, too! Maybe a beginner-friendly airbrushing with blended waves for an ocean floor look.
you called?
Release the Hermit Kraken!
Can't wait to see this one painted, and how long it takes.
p..p..painted? How?
@@Redskies453 very carefully
Can we all upvote this for the official name !? :D
@@AwkwardParas Bubbles the Hermit Kraken
You said Eldritch/Lovecraftian. In "At the Mountains of Madness" by Lovecraft, the main alien race has created a type of "beast of burden" called the Shoggoths, and they are described as being formless yet able to adopt any form required by them. They were used primarily in the ocean when their masters built cities in the dark depths. I really think this should be a Shoggoths who has basically collected stray clutter from the ocean floor that it's former master's used to live on!
This!
“The Scrap-Ness Monster” is the first thing that comes to my thought and I really hope you paint it, looks freaking awesome!
A Mordhaul or Death Haul. It looks like a creature of the deep ocean that collect bits of ships that have sunk under less then peaceful means and adds bits to itself. A model I would not be surprised to among the Vampire Coast faction in TW:WH2 to be honest.
Dread Wreck?
Has to protect its soft skin
Vampire Coast was also my first thought. Rotting Leviathan or Necrofex Colossus (yes, it's missing cannons and the humanoid silhouette)
The protector
Thank you , Jon .
" a Deep Harvester "
Looking forward to seeing it in full colour ,
🌲🎅🌲
🐺
Harvester of the Deep :D
That is a perfect name.
"Tide Swallower" is the first thing that came to me and I definitely want to see you paint it whatever name you pick for it! This and the custom defiler you made have been two of my favorite videos of yours, I really enjoy seeing someone make something brand new from pieces and the path their unique ideas take them in
I love this kind of thing. Making stuff out of scrap is a great time. That being said a little more guidance is where I start from. "Oh, I'm making a kind of chaos spawn, or ork vehicle" or what have you. Looking forward to seeing it painted. And as for a name, Gorbash, the Horde Eater. Maybe it's a mimic. Or a hoard mimic. Actually they just released a mimic the size of a hoard in Fizban's didn't they?
I really liked to see the outcome of this monster. Can't wait to see it painted
I was just thinking “That looks like it belongs in Dark Souls” and then you just had to go and say “although he is mostly Hollow on the inside..” Oh Jon… lol so fitting.
The Mimickor, a Leviathan creature that lurks in the deepest depths of Sigmar’s waters. A mystique abomination of nature. Though a myth to man, but legend to gods. Nor man or God knows of it’s true origin. This creature is capable of taking many forms to fool it’s prey. If you asked Sailors of Sigmar, the story is always different…always changing. A sailor once said it was an abandoned ship with sharp teeth, others mistaken it with different sea creatures. The only thing that never changed, or was mentioned in every story was they heard the bell of Sigmar, but it’s tone was far more sinister.
Sorry for the long reply, got inspired by looking at Thaumoctopus mimicus or Mimic Octopus. @Nonjon big fan of the channel and the colors of this unique octopus could be a great inspiration for painting. Look forward to you painting it up!
Awesome idea, dude! :) Really loved the bell as an element tying together the different reports of the monster. :)
PAINT IT JON!
Seriously, this video was so much fun to watch, can't wait to see what it looks like painted.
Kitbashing is quickly becoming my favorite part of the hobby! I couldn't help but imagine this as some kind of sorrow incarnate of a drowned soul out in the depths of the ocean. It'd be awesome to see you do a dramatic base with this thing crashing through the water's surface!
Do you watch Pete the Wargamer for kitbashing? He's one of my faves
@@michaelsorensen7567 Yes! absolutely love their channel
He def looks like a dude called Ham
I would love to see this painted, I can imagine it being a nightmare though.
I think the dreadger?
Jon, I think it would absolutely destroy all of us if we didn't get to see you paint this, or at least the outcome. It's so busy, and just overloaded with details, trying to envision how to separate all of those colors is really difficult. You're an incredible painter, your Dragon contest entry was amazing, show us what you got.
I’d absolutely love a video of you painting this weird hermit trawler demon, I can only imagine how amazing this would look painted and based!
This model looks wicked cool, love the fact you were calling it a Cthulhu horror! Can't wait to see it painted 🤩 Hm..Maybe a name like Bhelerc, the end portion sounds like lurk and you mentioned it lurking and dragging itself on the dark depths of the sea bed.
I'm a tyranid player. The hive mind will create its own bio-forms for whatever strategic situation it requires, so it seems perfectly logical to me that on some godforsaken 40k world they needed an underwater vacuum cleaner to harvest long forgotten biomass left behind on the ocean floor. Great kit bashing John, I also would love to see how on earth someone would even start to paint that thing. Great video keep 'em coming.
This was a great episode. One of the things that first drew me to minis was customising and kit-bashing miniatures, starting with Necromunda and moving onto Orks. The ramshackle nature of an Ork Army made it a paradise for my imagination and even now when I see a massive kit - like a huge terrain piece, it's all I can do not to think about pulling it apart and Frankensteining all the bits into strange new shapes and modifying dozens of characters and kits with them.
This was a super-fun episode and now, having seen to kludge all these disparate pieces together into this weird nightmare hybrid, I'd love to see how your imagination could bring it all back together again with a suitably eerie and atmospheric paint scheme.
Also, looking at those weird pincer tentacles, I kept thinking about Bobbit Worms. Check out footage of those suckers for amazing inspiration, they're like real-life Tyrannids.
As soon as I saw that head, I thought of a monstrosity created through experimentation by the admech.
I love what you did with it though! It looks like a tunneling creature bursting out of the ground from the vampire coast!
The Dredger.
Going to be interesting to paint😜
I can't imagine anyone saying "no" to seeing this painted. We all want to see you tackle this "Deep Devourer"
Jon you have gained so much of my respect for making an eldritch sea monster
Would love to see this painted. I love converting, one of my favorite sides of the hobby. Never thought of building just to make whatever. I might tackle this myself.
It seems a bit like a caddisfly larvae, they collect all sorts of bits about themselves to make a cocoon, love that idea! And good luck with the paint job!
Hate to think what this is the abyssal larva for
To me, this creation (and the bits of lore you've come up with) is a huge inspiration not only when it comes to the miniature hobby, but also worldbuilding, maybe even drawing (if I'm ever feeling particularly brave)
The transition to “The Desk” was so smooth.. it made me chuckle 😂
I would love to see it painted, full video on it, even if it's a 2 parter... looked cool as hell
When the size of your bits “collection “ exceeds the GW shelf stock at your local game shop… you either have a problem or an opportunity. Of course we all know how Jon will view that situation. 😉
Oh yes, bonus points for using dropping the word detritus into your script. 👍
Merry Christmas! 🎄 🧙♀️ 🐉
Can’t wait to see it painted I’m picturing a whole tyranid force coming from the sea
I must see the chaos of you trying to paint that beast.
I would love to see this beast of the deep painted, as for a name how about Squidlybits the Collector
Kitbashing is what I love the most about the hobby, and it would be awesome to see this creature painted. When it comes to naming it, looks like a Steve to me.
Madness is what I’m calling painting that!!
Can't wait to see it painted, and i'd call it something like Matey
As much as this piece looks like an eldritch horror, for me this guy is just a tyranid monster that was hidden under a pile of sea refuse on a low tech imperial world. Its amazing how creative this piece is.
As an avid kitbasher, your bits collection makes me drool in extreme desire.
Definitely looking forward to watching you paint it
Kit bashing is a must. Originality,center pieces,cool conversation piece,anything is possible. That's what makes us hobbyist,artist of imagination so to speak..the name should be"The Abyssal" short and sweet.Good video!!!
"somekind of lovecraftian horror-thing" is exactly what i loved to hear in that situation 👌
Perhaps you could start a tradition of building an Ork Stompa at the end of the year with some of that year's bits. Then you could line them up and be reminded of what you worked on in each of those years.
Kitbashing and conversions are the best part of the hobby. I find myself making elaborate conversions with putty and not having the motivation to paint them anymore. Or worrying that my paint job isn't sufficiently good for the conversion ;)
Honestly I think this model is begging to be the centrepiece of a stunning diorama. Some under water and above water action 💥
man this video couldn't have come at a better time. Currently starting on making my own chaos decimator out of just random stuff. I had some extra tank treads from a leman russ and I had just enough to make a couple of large tank treads for this big mobile weapons platform. i'm so happy that I can make stuff out of everything I had leftover from other things I had laying around.
Bravo sir. After watching "basing" videos back-to-back, this was very refreshing and insightful. You got my creative juices going again. TY
I don't even paint or play warhammer and I still love watching this channel.
I love kit-bashing. One thing I found useful when layering all those bits together is to primer them all black first and scrape the paint from the joining surfaces when you glue them on. It's so much easier to paint it later when everything has a uniform black finish in the spaces you can't easily reach by brush or airbrush.
Depths devourer.... what it takes in on the bottom of the deep becomes a part of it for all time. Forever adding to its bulk and sunken armor carapace. Hells yeah we wanna see you paint it!!!
"...i made a cthulhu sea monster..."
The heart wants what the heart wants, Jon.
That's so cool! Can't wait to see you paint it!
What a gorgeous model!
On the prospect of naming, to me it feels like a creature like this would have a title to be whispered by sailors, something simple and descriptive yet slightly overstated and vague. Therefore I propose:
The Mawmound.
This was a fabulous exercise in kitbashing! I mostly like to do mine digitally, and print it out solidly, but the traditional method is really cool too.
Yes please! Waiting to see you paint this.
I love this. I’m terrible at naming things, but it definitely gives off the vibe of something collecting souvenirs of its kills and using them to live in.
Definitely requires paint.
The Hull Slime, a deep water monster that sometimes creeps to land or the surface of the waters in pursuits of more parts to expand itself to bigger sizes. It has the ability to control its buoyancy to float or sink even when coved in wood parts from a ships. The Hull Slime seeks out shipwrecks to feast on the parts of said ships, but when a big enough ship catches it attention on the top of the water the Hull Slime will follow that ship to the ends of the worlds to just start stripping the ship from beneath and sink the ship.
Screams for a diorama with full on scene build. 2022 here we come! Great work.
Would love to see the painting process. Being an Orks player, kitbashing is second nature to me and one of the things I enjoy the most in the hobby so I'd love to see more of it on the channel.
I love how many times you said the word bits in this video :D I actually really like the end result a lot and really hope you paint it up! Weirdly enough in all my years of this hobby and selling bits, I've never made a model this way before. Will have to give it a go!
Kitbashing is a huge part of my hobby, and I don’t thing I have ever made a character or special model without some kitbashing.
I absolutely adore this beast! I cannot wait to see it painted!
This creature you're building reminds me of a sponge crab that attaches bits of sponge and other things to camouflage itself, just in a very grimdark way.
This approach to kitbashing is very explorative and creative. It is like finding the creature as you build it. The opposite approach to this would be to have a plan and a design before you build it. I think that would be a good thing to see you do in a future episode, to concept sketch something out and then build it.
This is completely unrelated to the video, but I love the fact I can tell you're from Minnesota! I went to work in Connecticut for two weeks, it was a work trip from the UK, and the guys I worked with mentioned Minnesota for whatever reason, I think it was related to not being able to find an In and Out Burger on the East Coast. They kept calling it Mini Soda because of the accent, and yeh, bag, tag etc they're so distinctive! I love it
Love this! One of your best videos to date! Love when you kitbash and scratch built!
At the beggining thought that was pure horror vacui, but the end it turned to be something with lore and aesthetical sense. I want to see that painted.
Saying the words jaw jacking while you're talking about your bits is unconditionally funny 🤣
...and Merry Christmas Jon!
Great work on it and looking forward to seeing how future Jon paints it up!
Please make this into a series where you make your own minis in various sizes and styles.
I love custom jobs and these types of videos are super inspirational!
Officially the best kitbashing youtuber! love the way you explain every step
Definitely some kind of deep sea trash crab. Love the creativity and use of bits. I'd call it something like, "The Deep Leviathan"
"The hellspawn hermit" Can't wait to see you paint it.
Fantastic build! Here's a tip that I use to avoid spilling my accelerator and to get it in hard-to-reach places - draw it up in a syringe or small squeeze bulb.
I can’t stop thinking about treasure on the ocean floor in DnD. It feels like a shipwreck mimic to trap your players. Very freaking awesome! I just wish I had a better name for it.
i love kitbashing, i dont think ive ever done a project without kitbashing. i think the creature you made should be named like “steven” or something, a name that definitely doesn’t seem like itd fit
YES. Love to see it get painted
What a beautiful deep sea roomba monster, always good to see someone help with cleanup.
Absolutely want to see you paint Bubbles, here! Using the various bits as detritus swept up in its wake, rather than pieces of the creature itself, was a really good idea!
I love watching you paint Mr. Hanks!
Absolutely love this video and the model!! I can't wait for you to paint it!!
Great vid, Jon, hope to see more like this in the future
Kitbashing is a pillar of the hobby for me, next to building and painting.
Oh I definitely want to see you paint this up, because five minutes in I was saying to myself, "This is going to be a nightmare to paint." But just my own head cannon, I kind of envision this as a Tyranid creature that moves through the ground along the exposed ocean floors of planets that are being consumed, and it just gathers all the junk and takes it to the gestation pools in one large mass.
Would like to see you paint it, but rather want to see you kit bash a squad of little guys, some bits, green stuff, something that makes your Jon tingle 🤣 love your stuff
We need to see that painted! Its awesome. Id call it "The Kraggle" in tribute to the sheer amount of glue involved lol.
Last week I've buit an Ork Trukk and kitbashed the leftover bits into another Trukk (had to use lots of sprues lol), I've never felt so fulfilled before lmao, like "yeaaaah two for the price of one"
It looks like a leviathan cracking through a deck hull eating about to eat all the sailors. I like it!
Since I got into kitbashing, I don't think I can leave any model unkitbashed lmao. Tbh I find assembly, kitbashing and sculpting way more fun than painting.
Speaking of painting, I'd love to see that model you made painted!
It's as if 'Muk' the pokemon crawled through a shipwreck, a dead squid and an alien. I love it. Looks like it could be a Dark Souls boss.
Would love to seeing this being painted as it is so unique!
It kind of reminds me of maybe a Idoneth Deepkin dread maw maybe a name like the Ship Wreck trapper beast
I did an event at my local GW a few years back where we were let loose with the stores spare sprues and I ended up with a part mechanical bloodthirster type beast, it was a great (and crazy experience)
"And so it came, crawling out of the depths, in search of food, it's fish where gone, and the men who caught them where lost to him already. The only other place to look, but the small port town near it's den. It was chaos, few got away at first, and even less survived. The hunger of the monstrosity of sunken ships was finally sated, and so it returned to the waters, to wait for it's new prey."
Can't wait to see it painted! Call it 'The Muckraker'
I have to say that your last 2 videos made me laugh, thanks for that! Keep up the good work dude 🙏
17:19 I got into this hobby solely for the kit bashing aspect, I love taking existing models and making them my own :D
Hell yeah we want to see this thing painted!
I just love the way you say the word “bag”
It's time to paint this Jon.
I can't wait to see you paint this
God DAMN that was a smooth cut to the desk.
Jon I love this. Great video, would love to see more of this.
