Its fitting that Dave's tortured artist came out as he worked on this MASTERPIECE

The sculpts from forgeworld look really nice, but it just seems like so much cleanup especially for the price 😅

I feel like you're underselling your paintjob here, the volumes and textures are all really amazing, especially on the skin and scales

This kit is over $400 in Australia. I thought that price was nuts, but knowing that it's actually like this is crazy!

You did really really nice work on this - that’s an exquisite paint job and you should be proud 👌👌🔥🔥🔥🔥

Super appreciative of your honesty with the whole process, I can’t imagine the stresses of a deadline to showcase your paint job with GW. The model looks amazing and it clearly shows that you put your blood, sweat, and tears into it (that’s pretty Slaaneshy right there). Great model. Great video. Great guy. Thank you for all of your hard work!

This video was super down to earth, I’d love to see you guys take a week or two out and make a video where you, Jen and Murray get to just paint to the best of your standards and make a mini you guys are super proud of! Truly an amazing job btw dave I hope you’re proud of fulgrim

Dave, your work on this is absolutely exceptional. The results speak for themselves and your skill to get this done to the staggering quality that you have. I’ve always appreciated your honesty very much. I’m continually proud of you, and the channel for making such strong connections and making the impressions that you have with your work - but being transparent about the struggles, and genuine complaints about the hobby is something I trust you so much to deliver. You aren’t trying to sell us these massive products at an extreme price range - you’re selling us someone to sit with at the painting table and to hang out with. Your personality and charisma is something that makes TTT stand out so much. The quality of the model is surprising - and I wouldn’t believe you if you hadn’t mentioned otherwise. You are a phenomenal painter and a comforting presenter/personality. I hope you got some time to rest after this monster, but I think I know better : ) Much love 💙

Given Fulgrim’s obsession with perfection, the tone of this video seems poetic.

I really admire the fact that you gave such yonest feedback about issues with the model...even though i cannot afford a model like fulgrim for those that could its important to know what theyre spending money on...keeping on being awesome!!!

hey dave, i usually don´t write comments but i wanted to tell u smth. u helped me when i was feeling low and u told me smth i´ll never forget. and now i wanna give u smth back! ur an amazing painter and god dammit that fulgrim looks so amazing! thx for sharing that adventure!

I am constantly shocked that Forgeworld kits, the most expensive things GW sells going into the high hundreds to thousands of dollars, are also the worst packaged, routinely come broken, warped, and missing parts, and take hours of prep time to get them in a state you can assemble. Yet somehow they've convinced a significant subset of their audience, that this is a sign of how "advanced" you are.

Aye dave, totally appreciate the fact that you're bein honest with us, and your relationship to GW. I really do hope they learn how to treat you and a ton of other mini KZfaqrs better.

Even though this broke you, and I totally get the burnout after putting your all into a paint job like this, Dave, you should be extremely proud of yourself for what you’ve accomplished. This is an extremely beautiful piece of art that you’ve made, and I for one am so very impressed. Good job, don’t beat yourself up for the time you spent on it, and get some well deserved rest, you’ve very much earned it.

Dave actually out here suffering from his success. God's bless you, you mad Aussie. You're one of my favourite Warhammer KZfaqrs (you and all the team, but I must admit Dave, you're my favourite.)

So awesome to see something that you were able to put so much effort into. It came out amazingly. Sorry it took so much out of you, but it is truly inspiring to see how great a job you can do when you have the time and can do your best.

You guys have always put out such amazing material. I appreciate the honesty, most viewers never really see that side of their favorite content creators. I wish you all the best and hope many more good days to balance the rough ones

Going slowly mad looking for perfection whilst painting ... seems lore accurate for this mini 😆

I admire you for spending so much time working on this. Thank you for sharing the ups and downs of assembling and painting this beautiful model. I really think it's important not only for people who are considering purchasing a particular product, but also for the viewers who are tempted to be overly critical of hardworking KZfaq creators.

I gotta say all the effort that you Dave and the entire Tabletop team puts in is phenomenal. Your videos have always been creatively inspiring and part of the reason I am getting into painting. Keeping to deadlines is stressful, but this mini is something else and looks beautiful. You've got great skill there Dave. Thank you all for sharing this journey with us. The honesty and integrity you have shown is humbling and much appreciated. I know what it's like trying to balance keeping customers and the higher ups happy without compromising on your beliefs and I have got to acknowledge how well you have handled it. I really appreciate your openness and that you give constructive criticisms rather than just stating an issue without suggesting solutions. I've seen some of the team's work in person at The House of War. Your Titan graveyard board is amazing and unlike anything I have ever seen before. It's was really fun seeing all the details you all put into it. It's something I look forward to playing on someday. There are plenty of brilliant painters on KZfaq for the Warhammer community but you all bring such a positive energy that make you especially fun to watch. Just know that we really appreciate all the work you all put into these videos. Whether it is what Jazza does behind the scenes running the show and the whole team of Jen, Dave and Murray presenting and making these minies and videos. Take care everyone, we love what you do. And again Dave, your hard work paid off. I prefer your painting of Fulgrim over the original, it looks great!

Thank you for your honesty in this video. Sometimes it feels like videos are one side or the other and you did a fantastic job of giving criticism while also showing your passion for the hobby. Great job on the painting and just want to say I appreciate the channel.

Heroic effort on this model! I hope you feel as proud as i am in awe of the final reveal. Phenomenal job!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a TTT video within 30mins of posting. Neat!

Thanks for all you do, and we appreciate it.

Thank you for being honest about GW and the sculpt. I was hesitant to get the model and I feel like now I'm glad I didn't. Im not ready for that level.

I am always blown away with Tabletop Time content. Thank you.

I super appreciate your commitment to the community in this video. It's creators like you that will help change the landscape of the hobby for the better for sure

Dave what a amazing outcome thank you for pushing through to show us this fine peice of art you have created

This was such an amazing paint job. And it feels so much more based in the reality of the hobby then most paint job videos I see where everything is working out perfect. Especially with models that I really care about, I find myself drained up in all the work I put myself up to just because I was hyped about it and really wanted to give it the perfection it deserves, and as a consequence I drain 300% of my available energy over days or weeks, and in the end instead of appreceation it always feels like a chore, and a battle I am happy to find the way out of.

Wow the final result is really impressive. The purple and gold armor and scales are exceptional. My favorite painting job out of all your videos.

That's incredible. I really love the contrast tones created with the purple, amber and green. And the wings stand out so much more with the flesh tones!

All I have to say is WOW! This is such a great paintjob, and I can see why you wanted to paint this model properly. You are a great painter, and I hope you'll do more like this on the channel in the future.

Beyond the fact that you have painted an utterly gorgeous model, I have such a massive amount of respect for how you tackled this. You're honest about the downsides but it's clearer than ever before how much you love the hobby and how everything you say comes from a place of really wanting the best for everyone. And also to push through and complete such a taxing project is mad respect - you guys are the kind of people I'm ecstatic to have representing the scene!

Dave, you legend! Stunningly gorgeous work! Big respect for pushing yourself so far for the content and your transparency.

This is, arguably, one of the finest works I've seen you put out, Dave. I couldn't have done it. Your honesty helped tremendously as well

so much effort went into that small thing. those glamour shots are gorgeous.

Dude this is epic well done and good on you for sticking with it well worth all the effort and pain you put into the model

Wow, amazing results! Thank you for sharing!

Final Product is GORGEOUS!! Well Done!!

Thanks for taking the time to make this video Dave. You did a beautiful job. Hope you are able to look after yourself. You all deserve as much love as your put into your videos.

my favorite video on the channel so far, just the process, all the artistic decisions, the blood sweat and tears.. really great video

BEAUTIFUL WORK! Its paint jobs like this that make me want to push myself to try new techniques and become a better painter.

This video resonated with me quite a lot, sometimes I catch myself thinking the exact same things, and I don't even have a schedule ! I really enjoyed this video, it felt sincere ! Love you guys! Great Paintjob btw

That paint job is absolutely 🔥🔥🔥 You really put everything and then some into it, and it shows!

Oh my gosh, he is absolutely beautiful. I would so love to see your full artistic abilities on painting these models - if this isn't your best, the best would be mind blowing!!

I can definitely see this being so much work that it can break you. Absolutely gorgeous final result! Beautiful work.

It might have been the most stressfull vídeo in a while, but it has been definetly worth it yo create and definetly a joy yo watch, you are great guys, keep it Up!!! ❤❤❤❤

Dave being a champ like usual, spitting facts for half an hour straight.

Nice to see the honest journey prepping & painting a forge world model. End result paint job & figure looks excellent.

The first of your videos I have ever seen, and loved your honesty and skills. I hope GW appreciates what a great collaboration that they have with you.

Really awesome paint job mate, one to be proud of for sure! Great Job!

I don't think I'd ever be able to paint something like this--let alone to the quality you do. It looks amazing!

Thank you for this and making such a lovely paint job Dave :^)

Your concerns about the WH community article are actually a really good point in microcosm. When you stop painting for yourself and start painting for a deadline it sucks the joy out of the process. Fulgrim is a model you were clearly hyped about but it’s sad to see the issues with P&P and stress with the WarCom deadline kill your buzz. I think you did a great job with the mini and TTT is probably as visible a platform as WarCom anyway!

I’ve changed a couple years ago to painting Gundam Kits. The complexity, quality of the plastic and technical designs is just amazing. Building the high detailed ‘Real Grades’ and the (post 2011) ‘Master Grades’ are just amazing to build, they are complex yet designed so well that building is fun and satisfying. The plastic quality and the assembly proces is just miles ahead of what you get from GW, for just fraction of the price. I recently started a Warhammer project again and the price I had to spend on the miniatures left a nasty aftertaste. I hope GW will step up their game as i can not escape the feeling I got ripped off, and this really takes away from the pleasure of the hobby experience.

Beautiful piece, great paint job. Congrats

Great work on this, thank you for sharing your journey with us

I bought 2 Tau Tigersharks with the heavy railguns a long time ago. Not only were the main guns warped, they were broken in a way that made it impossible to put together and not have it look janky (resin shards and splinters in so many places you couldn't hide the brakes). The burst cannons were warped (each has 4 tiny barrels that if they aren't perfectly aligned with each other they look obviously messed up). Even the main body of one of the models was deformed in a way that I had to excavate a large portion of sculpted resin just to fit the railgun in its slot before resculpting the part I had to destroy. I knew I'd have to do a bit of advanced modeling, but destroying large chunks of a vehicle just to fit it together was kind of stupid. I do resin 3d printing, so I know how hard it is to get the resin to cure and have decent dimensional accuracy, but they're using resin molds that are, in theory, always dimensionally correct. These beautiful models were so poorly made that I never got to use them in a game and was never able to get them to a state where I felt proud to show them off. I spent nearly 2 months trying to repair the damage, and reached the point of no longer giving a shit. That experience permanently soured my view of FW to the point where I didn't trust them enough ever but another of their models.

Awesome work mate. I really love that marble too, turned out great.

Thanks for this video Dave! It was amazing too see you paint to such a high degree. Thanks for your honesty along the journey as well. Your a Chad Dave 🤘

best model ive seen done on his channel, thank you for sharing.

Dave's raw take on this project was a nice peak behind the curtain. I live vicariously though him on this one. Thank you for giving this video time to ripe by sinking so much time into this one. ❤️

Great stuff man - what a fantastic model and you did it justice.

Congratulations, Dave. Fulgrim looks epic. Great paint job. And your honest review is appreciated.

Knocked it out the park. That looks superb. Great job!

Dude, he looks so amazing! Great job!

You have done a great job Dave. You and the Table Top Time always do. To the whole team, please try not to burn yourselves out.

WOW, WHAT A PAINT JOB. You sir are an inspiration, you have made me excited about painting again and will be subscribing to your channel.

Gorgeous paint job !

Thanks you for your honstey on this. The figure looks great from a distance as it would appear on a table top so well done. 👏👏👏👏

thats an insane job well done! thank you for all the honesty too i hope you're able to have a bit of a rest and recover

Absolutely gorgeous work on the paint, Dave. Damn, that turned out fantastic. Now that it's over, hopefully you can get some sleep.

Dave might be one of the most down to earth youtubers out there, and I genuinely love these candid moments, wish you all the best and well done.

HOLY COW DAVE! THOSE SCALES!!!!! you've done an astonishing job! 👏👏👏

I think you did an amazing job! Love how honest and emotional you were with your review of the model. You don’t see that to often! I don’t see how anyone could transport him for any game play. I see those wings breaking on the table top! Keep up the great work!

A paintjob on Fulgrim becoming a torturous pursuit of perfection seems entirely lore accurate

Wow, that looks totally wicked! Well done!

Beautiful work on this

This came out absolutely stunning!! ❤❤❤

For a - as you put it - rush job, the end result is absolutely stunning.

Beautiful job! Very inspiring

Homie, that paint job looks amazing! Well done! Sorry the fatigue hit you so hard. Hope you can rest on it now!

Looks stunning ❤ n massive effort Dave hope you had a good kip when you finished

these videos are amazing man, thank you

Now that is the Phoenician done well! You are a fantastic artist sir. Hats off to you!

dave I sort of feel your pain. I had a video I wanted to get out much earlier than i could too, but between how long the project took and that project actively hurt my health in it's early stages, instead of being out at the time i wanted to put it out it came out more than three months after my intended date

I always remember my Fulgrim 'model' back in the days of 2nd edition 40k. Three blue lego bricks joined by a plate, if it had a yellow single brick on the top it was a Fulgrim, if it had a red one it was a Keeper of Secrets. Lego is not the cheapest thing around, but five lego bricks is significantly cheaper than that forgeworld model...

Very cool paintjob!

Thanks for video, the miniature looks wonderfull, it is the best painted primatch I've ever seen.

dude you do outstanding work looks fantastic

This was insane. The model, the commitment, the everything.

Damn it is a beautiful piece. Model and paint job are awesome. Ich hope after a few weeks you will be proud of what you have accomplished 😊

One of the big questions I get asked in my painting adventure is "Why don't I receive commissions?". This is the answer. In between just a regular job and painting the hobby for me, the freedom I have and not putting a ton of deadlines onto it, keeps me coming back to the hobby. I don't even play the game anymore, I'm just really enthralled with painting the models and coming up with new techniques with all the paints that are out there and new color schemes(about all the time I have for it these days). You did a tremendous job on cleaning up the model. I've only heard stories of the rumored Forge world kits and after the initial excitement, you can really go off the deep end in how to execute how you'll construct and paint and that really wears you down. Also glad to hear another happy Scale 75 user out there. I love their paints. The best thing you can do is diversify and find which works best so not being entrenched in Games workshop colors is refreshing. Cheers, glad to see the prince of perfection demanded so much in return. Looks really fantastic. I miss the old days when I could paint nonstop into the wee hours of the morning. Keep on keeping on.

That is spectacular Dave!!

Phenomenal. Thank you for sharing it with us

Amazing paint job!

The model looks amazing!!!

genuinely incredible, I'd love to see paints where you guys don't have the pressure of an immediate deadline

This is a gorgeous paint 😍

Really appreciated the honesty here Dave, the paint job is brilliant from my point of view!
