How to paint the Bretonnian Lord with Great Weapon for The Old World!

The internet seemed very divided when this long delayed Lord with Great Weapon was finally revealed 13 years after it was planned! This might have been our first glimpse of The Old World to come but instead now it’s just another great character to add to your Bretonnian forces! I love the shield and knew I wanted to make it special with the beautiful stag transfer so he’s in the same scheme as my Hallowed Knight (black and orange 🎃) Hope you enjoy, and let me know if this video changed your opinion of the model! Or maybe like me, you liked it anyway?
We do not have access to full editing this week so apologies but if there’s anything unclear, please let me us know and we’ll answer all your answers asap!

That paint scheme looks great mate. Really nice job. Your right about that hand though, looks quite bad. I think it's meant to be the back of his hand mostly but the way it's sculpted makes it look like long fingers. Would probably be worth filling in that area with green stuff to get rid of the ridges so the finger don't start until they are going around the handle.

The cost of those frames is greatly exaggerated. It's a piece of metal which is machined for a few hours. The outer circle used to be a plastic casting manufacturer. He claimed to of been a manager at one point in a plastic factory. He said a plastic mould typically cost around $10k to make, depending on the complexity. If it was just a basic thing like a kinder egg then it would be a lot cheaper obviously. So lets imagine GW are really inefficient at this process and it costs them 3x as much, so 30 grand Australian. Pretty expensive but not breaking the bank of a company the size of GW with their legion of loyal cucks.

@@calvinandhobbes730 I can't help but agree with his takes most of the time. I actually find it interesting though as he's a HH player and they are the biggest GW Whales in the hobby. He's spent so much cash on GW garbage and continues to do it, even though he feels like they endlessly fuck him over. I feel the same way but I simply stopped buying their products and have never bought a Forgeworld miniature from GW. When the regional price gouging got particularly egregious I moved to Forgeryworld for my models. Then in 2019 I started 3D printing in resin and there is no going back to GW now. The models are way better, with way more variety than GW can ever produce. Plus it costs a few cents for a unit of dudes instead of $100.

Remember that this was around 2004-2005. They were still sculpting 3-up models on green stuff. Could they have replaced the mould? Absolutely. But it is very costly and roi would be big. This was the era when armies still got new units in metal and most armies only had a few basic troops in plastic.
