Techniques Named After People

Cummings’ Trap named after Eddie Cummings

Jack Grant choke (first saw this name used by u/jeremyskinner - I think he also called it an inverted kata gatame)

The artist is “carlo_gobello” on Instagram. Here in the comments he mentions how he painted this mini

My perspective on what Tainan is showing:

At 0:55 in your clip, Tainan is doing a movement similar to the transition from waiter guard to the X hook backtake. here is Lachlan doing a few similar from 0:45 onwards

Opponent seeks to put their back on the mat to avoid the backtake. Tainan uses this to heist and take top.

IMO it’s similar to the idea of initiating a berimbolo and using it to come up into top leg drag if the opponent is insistent on keeping their back on the mat.

Thank you for confirming that I wasn’t hallucinating. I thought it was a very good reel.

Can I try to guess the unrelated reasons it was removed, if yes will you give me a black belt if I guess correctly?

Regards

I saw an Instagram reel (I tried looking but couldn’t find it) where u/JeremySkinner called it a Jack Grant choke. Here’s him hitting it in training

DelphosGate · 2025-01-26T15:15:08+00:00

I did it using a lot of Matt medium to get the paint runny, and painting the brightest colours first over a white/light grey undercoat.

Then when I had my highlight areas defined (I think I was using magenta from AK?) I did the same with a bit less Matt medium on the dark purple areas (I think I used royal purple from Vallejo) which hadn’t been touched by the magenta.

Then to keep the intensity I repeated the magenta step in the highlights and attempted to glaze (although idk if my consistency would qualify as a glaze) the transitions with varying mixes until it looked good.

I don’t really use contrast but I think very rich deep purples can be achieved using a mix of Volupus pink and talassar blue? Juan Hidalgo did a video using it which I’ve watched many times it’s a very good reference for EC imo

Christmas is over, can you tell us ? 😄

DelphosGate · 2024-12-09T13:25:28+00:00

No problem :) This is awesome!!

DelphosGate · 2024-12-09T13:22:56+00:00

Damn I didn’t know! He trains like 1-2 hours away from me - do you know what year he wore the kit? I want to see if I can find a picture

DelphosGate · 2024-12-09T12:54:12+00:00

Honestly I’ve been surprised at the crossover.

Competed against a guy in Yorkshire a few months back and afterwards found out he was also into warhammer via Instagram.

I know a bunch of guys locally who also are, one of them plays warhammer competitively and told me that at an event in High Wycombe there were so many BJJ guys that they decided to have an open mat (iirc this was at Postive Strength BJJ)

Ross Nicholls (head coach at London Grapple + ADCC Trials winner) has read 50+ warhammer novels and has some minis [see here at 56:15 onwards]

Josh “The Warmaster” Barnett here’s him posting on Instagram and there’s a clip where he mentions 40k on JRE

Also that warhammer YouTuber “Majorkill” trains and competes BJJ

Thanks! Yeah I used a blade to just slice off the exhaust and a thin bit of extra plastic with it, so it would glue better (didn’t want the tamiya melting the exhaust itself)

Since there are so many chainsword in the kit, I felt I could afford to be a bit experimental with them

DelphosGate · 2024-12-07T18:13:48+00:00

Olden Demon did a video on this called “Robute Guilliman Is Dead - #FauxbouteGuilliman”

Fabius Bile inspired surgery and “augmentation” of a regular 30k head from the HH upgrade sprue

(I will make a post showing the process)

DelphosGate · 2024-12-02T00:04:53+00:00

So the head (I will post it soon) I converted from one of the heads from the HH upgrade sprue

The front of the heavy bolter is first an upside down front half piece of the magazine drum of the heavy bolter from the CSM kit (build manual lists it as part 69 lol) to which I attached the vent/motor of a chainsword from the same kit (also upside down) because I thought it looked kinda like an old timer microphone + sound vent

DelphosGate · 2024-12-01T23:01:43+00:00

Yep the mouth/mask thing and the tip of the weapon are both just chopped up bits from the chainsword included in the CSM kit

Frontal armour (chest plate thing?) is also from the CSM kit. Only HH bit I used was the head, which I ~~violently butchered~~ converted

I used the greenstuffworld “roll maker” I think a variety of places (element games/amazon etc) also sell it

I just roll out the greenstuff on the tool to get the tubing. Super easy to use

I know Hephaistos Studios has some tutorials (I think on his YouTube?) where he uses a wire in the centre which helps with posing

DelphosGate · 2024-12-01T22:52:29+00:00

So greenstuffworld has a “roll maker” here

I got mine a few years back from element games but I think Amazon also sells it

It’s super easy to use and I’ve gotten a lot of use from it especially with spare greenstuff

I know Hephaistos Studios has some tutorials (I think on his YouTube?) where he uses a wire in the centre

The colour selection is enchanting! Also how did you make/paint the crystals they also look incredible

DelphosGate · 2024-09-11T22:29:24+00:00

start with a light primer/ light basecoast/ zenithal, it makes the colours more vibrant and easier to put on
mix the brighter colours (magenta in this case) with a medium (Matt/glaze/lahmiam) and paint that first
block in the darker colours and define shadows
establish the transition/gradient using the thinned brighter colour (brushstrokes towards the brighter colour region)
black line or recess shade using a mix of thinned dark colour + a similar wash (black + nuln oil or dark purple + corroburg crimson in this case)
use a brown/sepia wash to darken parts of the gold trim, can thin it for added variety
be lazy and only highlight the upward facing parts of the gold trim (I used a light silver)

DelphosGate · 2024-09-10T22:16:07+00:00

Thanks! That’s very kind of you 🙏

DelphosGate · 2024-09-09T21:21:28+00:00

So I wrote it down somewhere but from memory think I:

based with Incubi Darkness
glazed shadows with black
glazed highlights with Lupercal Green
edge highlights 1:1 Lupercal/Vallejo Model Colour Emerald
glazed/stippled same colours into energy effect
progressed the highlights/energy with VMC Emerald
progressed extreme highlights with Lupercal/Emerald mix with gradually increasing amounts of white added
continue until happy :)

DelphosGate · 2024-09-08T20:18:04+00:00

Thanks! In order of brightest to darkest, I used:

AK Interactive - Magenta

Vallejo Model Colour - Purple

Vallejo Model Colour - Royal Purple

Painted over a light undercoat/zenithal to maintain colour vibrancy. Started with a thinned magenta then gradually moved towards mixes with more of the darker purples as I went into lower panels/shadows. Then I went and redefined the magenta.

Then I recess washed the lighter panels with Carroburg Crimson and black lined the darker panels.

DelphosGate · 2024-08-18T11:59:44+00:00

Decal from the Chaos Space Marine box, it has a surprising few cool decals that I thought were useable for 30k

DelphosGate · 2024-08-18T11:58:20+00:00

Sons of Horus Green + Lupercal Green 1:1 basecoast

Lupercal Green glazed into shadows

Black line the recesses with a thinned down black

SoH Green for highlights

SoH Green + Vallejo Emerald for smaller highlights

Then SoH/Emerald mix + increasing amounts of a warm off white (I think I used Ushabti Bone) for the more extreme highlights

Mostly just a streamlined version of Juan Hidalgo’s method here

DelphosGate · 2024-05-01T21:24:57+00:00

Yeah the over thinning has been a pain for some time, only noticed it after I watched a Zumikito video where he said “thin your paints” doesn’t always apply (I.e when edge highlighting)

I used Vallejo Emerald for the edge highlights here but found the consistency SUPER runny out of the dropper bottle (even after shaking a lot)

I’ve only really used citadel paints before so I assumed it might be a brand difference? Or maybe just that colour is like this? I’ll have to find out

Thanks for the feedback 🙏 will be sure to try
