Thanks for clarifying, I wasn't entirely sure. I got into X Wing during the first release and just played it with my family and friends. The announcement will never change that or the love we have for it.

Good games never die and I'm not giving up on it now either.

The game is now in the best hands possible, the community that loves it.

Aye. Sad day. AMG really dropped the ball on what was my fav game. I’m hoping the community keeps second edition alive.

Will there be some other game in development instead or another company pick it up or is there just no hope

@@theclash24 At the moment there is no hope officially but there has been talk within the community of keeping it going unofficially.

Huh?

I am not an authority on the subject of x wing so I cannot answer these questions or concerns. If I were you I would reach out to AMG for further information. The link for the Warp is in the description and last I checked they don't ship internationally.

@bobafett2243 I reached out to Atomic Mass Games with your concerns. If I hear anything substantial back from them I'll put it in a video.

@@JimsTableTopWargaming Awesome, thanks. I did the same few days ago. I will let you know what I hear. So far the response is, my inquiry was placed on hold while they investigate. We’ll see.

@@bobafett2243 Unfortunately I did get a response and it was just "if we had any info we would post it on our socials" so no answers to your questions.

It's those fine details that make it interesting

You can paint without a primer but it's not usually recommended as primers will help the paint stick better and you don't have to fight the paint as much during that first coat. If you want to ensure your work is not ruined when touching or moving it, I would recommend sealing it with a varnish. Either a spray can like Citadel Munitorum or one of the many pots of varnish that can be applied by brush like Vallejo. Keep in mind the difference between Matt, satin and gloss varnish.

Most people I know started off without priming or varnishing their models, it's just best practice to do so if you feel comfortable with it as it makes life easier and helps to achieve and then maintain a great finish. Everyone has a different ability level when it comes to the hobby so just focus on what you feel you need to and expand and experiment when you are ready.

@@JimsTableTopWargaming thank you very much for clarifying my doubt 😁

Thanks, have a happy birthday! Glad you liked the video

Thanks, Rick, glad you like the video. You are right, it does not have the action keyword.

No worries, thanks for having me on your stream

I'm glad you enjoyed the video, yes I have plans to cover the various ways to play in the future starting with the current tournament rules. Keep an eye out for that sometime in the near future.

Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it

Thanks I'm glad you liked the video and I hope your models turn out great

Thank you, I am glad you liked the video

I pinned this because it's correct and good reading, thanks for bringing up a great point. I took a look at the full rules prior to this video and made the decision to stick to the booklet as a way to reduce time-to-play for newcomers. I have run a few different game systems for people in the past and found that overwhelming people in their first game is usually detrimental, so I kept it fairly simple. That said, if you pick up the game and want to expand your collection to play with others in the community then the official and up to date rules are essential reading. There are many ways to play X Wing which I will eventually cover in future videos and how you play will be a matter of preference. Currently I am familiarising myself with the rules for core and epic games so I can do some bigger games with my friends in the Clone Wars setting. These game tutorials take longer to produce than my usual painting tutorials due to the amount of editing that goes into them, but I aim to get more of them out in due course.

I personally don't like objectives. I came to fight. So fight I will. UwU

"Officially" yes it's 2.5. Though it's disingenuous for AMG to try to call it second edition at all. So much was changed and is still morphing that at least as the most honest it should be called either third edition, or "the AMG edition". And it's a dead/dying game anyway so I don't know if a video like this will be anything but a well presented historical demo anyway within a year or so. Barring some massive relaunch/boot lol

Welcome, thanks for the sub I am glad you liked the video! There are several ways: You can try and match it by eye like I did, the paints dry a little darker and you use the dry paint on your pallet as a way to eyeball it. Not the best way. You could mix a decent amount into a spare airtight container or pot or something if you have one. That way you have enough for all five. You could make a basic wet pallet out of a container, a sponge and some baking paper. This slows down the drying of your mixed paint, giving you plenty of time to hydrate the paint with a little water off the brush. You could just buy Calgar Blue and Fenrisian Grey paints as this is what I was aiming for anyway and then you have consistent paints for further models. Hope this helps, let me know if you have further questions.

I originally purchased them from a small model shop called KB models, which has unfortunately shut down. But with some digging I found they are from expo tools: www.expotools.com/acatalog/75550-5-Inch-Easy-Grip-Pliers--Side-Cutters-75550.html

@@JimsTableTopWargaming thanks, much appreciated!

In fairness they probably would be pretty filthy towards the end of a long campaign

Yes, however it does require the purchase of a conversion kit to bring the cards and tokens up to the new standard

Thank you

My pinky finger is usually touching the model I am painting steadying the brush hand. I try to limit unnecessary movements in my arms by leaning on my desk as well. It gets achy after a while so make sure to take regular breaks.

Very nice, Blood Angels have some really awesome lore and models, especially around the Death Company.

It's good advice

Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed the video

Thank you, I was overly reliant on my detail brush before I started this series and it's a real eye opener seeing them side by side now. Really happy with the progress.

I'll take a look at it and see what I can come up with, thanks for the suggestion.

@@ThatAngryPunk this would a great idea.

Yeah by far the hardest part of this start painting series has been coping without all my usual brushes. I don't mind the starter brush but I think that's Stockholm syndrome at this point.

No worries, I hope you enjoy

Good advice, I don't usually make edge highlights that large even three years ago. The video is limited to the contents of that painting kit and I had a hard time with the size of the brush they include.

There is no such thing as luck.

Thank you, glad to be back. I will be addressing the hiatus in a future video

Welcome to the hobby, the Tau certainly do have some very cool Battlesuits. Their units remind me of the mechs from the anime Appleseed which was pretty awesome. Thanks for commenting, glad you liked the video!

Welcome to the hobby! Glad my video was of use thanks for the lovely comment

You can use the included shade paint as a substitute if you do not have nuln oil in your collection. If you check out the tutorial I did for this kit you can see the results and decide for yourself. I hope this helps

@@JimsTableTopWargaming this will be my first paint and models I've got model cutters I'm going to get black spray primer and an exacto knife tommarow

@@JimsTableTopWargaming I was asking cause another review used them on the base plate

@@PZY.Studios To shade the base texture or to paint the rim of the base? It's good that you are getting those things as you will need them, welcome to the hobby.

@@JimsTableTopWargaming thank you I've never done any minis before but I'm very excited to start would you say these starter kit / paint kit paint pots go very far or should I order more I ordered an apothecary as well a few minuites ago

I'm glad I could impart a fraction of my vast library of Alexandria like knowledge to you, humble viewer, for you are now burdened with great painting purpose. As for the bird method, it is very important that the model knows its place in this cold uncaring universe and has no delusions of superiority over you. This step can be substituted for any obscene or degrading gesture that you feel is appropriate to achieve that end. Happy painting!

Nope, still alive

Yeah kinda. The pauldrons have the Ultramarines symbol sculpted on and it comes with paints specifically for starting ultramarines. You could paint it however you want but just keep those things in mind.

@@JimsTableTopWargaming ok thanks

Thank you, I am glad you found the tutorial useful. Welcome to the hobby!

A perfectly valid criticism, there are some very satisfying ways to add detail without edge highlighting. I would recommend checking out some scale model videos or searching for weathering techniques as this can be a better alternative for anyone who wants depth without cartoon lines on all the edges. Thanks for the comment
