- This week Casey and Brent talk about some fun hobby projects, why space wolves don't suck, 3d printing is still fun even if we have to jump through hoops, and most especially, why Nuln Oil is not a good friend and is holding you back...potentially anyways

on the subject of OPR's minis, I feel like they are a bit meh when they ape warhammer, but when they do their own thing like with the "jackals" or "saurian starhost" or "duchies of vinchi" it's real good
Get that little bit of "paint bravely inside you". Well said. May we all find ourselves there.
I feel using 'shortcuts' matters more for how many models you want to paint. Like yeah for smaller games and single models you can do this but once you're talking 40k scale of easily dozens of models you see why washes dominate.
I feel like I’m missing out on this static grass issue thing. I see people use the stuff all the time the regular way and it looks fine to me haha. Especially at the scale our miniatures are at
Not to be THAT guy but Goodwill absolutely does help people. They offer training and job placement for people with disabilities and recovering from addiction.
The drop&paint kickstarter has not shipped my paints yet either, and I backed the full range on the earl bird special. They shipped out most of the small sets already but still working on getting the big once out. I live in Norway by the way
Always makes my day when a new podcast drops.
Casey building that physical Steam library of games he'll never play :D
it's true...but I feel good about it!
I ordered the Kimera paints and they were held up in customs. TSA wanted a big form pledging that this was not a harmful chemical. Probably added a month to delivery while they sat in customs in New York. Worth the wait though!
Warcry, Relicblade, and Moonstone is a trio on the lighter side of skirmish games. But I feel like the real struggle isnt finding the perfect rule set, its finding one with a local community. Doesnt matter how cool the game is if no one plays it... Shatterpoint is an example. Tried it out in a game demo at a store, picked it up, painted enough to play, but everyone would rather play Legion on the local star wars wargaming fans.
I couldnt get my static grass applicator to work either. But I picked up a puffer bottle - basically an empty plastic bottle with holes drilled in the lid, Chuck in some grass and give it a squeeze. It makes application really easy for bases no messing with wires and batteries etc. Probably sucks for large applications though.
Brent have you tried rubbing a balloon to create static charge and using that to stand up the grass? might be a super cheap option
I made a bug zapper to static grass applicator this year. Be careful with the wire mesh when you disassemble because they are VERY sharp. Also I sacrificed a usb cord and soldered it in place of the batteries. Last thing I want is for the batteries to be dead
I've stopped using washes when painting bright colors. I stick to just starting with my shade color as a base and build up layers to the color I want.
I like how dominion boxes are still talked about every podcast. Casey just wants all the dominion boxes and will be the guy selling them for 80 bucks in like 3 years
This is a great conversation. Always good to hear your thoughts and insights on different processes and materials!
Bizarre experience with bug-zappers: once zapped, I have been able to turn the wings on-and off repeatedly on both flies and mosquitoes. Not sure if this is super common, but have tried it a few times.
Maybe I can only hear it because I'm using audiophile headphones, but often when Casey is talking (e.g. 14:20) I can hear the echo of his voice being picked up by the audio that's presumably leaking from Brent's earbuds reaching Brent's mic.
I’m totally with you on the space wolves minis.
I like starting from my shadow tones. That way I don't have to go back to shade unless I mess up. (Which I inveitably will do.)
You should check out Burrows and Badgers by Oathsworn Miniatures. Published by Osprey Games. It's a great skirmish game that's cute fluffy anthropomorphic animals locked in grim bloody battles!
Static grass applicators use a higher amount of static charge the flyswatters use so small amount of static electricity they just don't function well at all when to mod them out
I bought a static grass applicator a long time ago I've used it a few times much better than when I tried to mod a swatter
got my drop and paint aout 2 weeks ago no problemas at all
Washes work good for textured models, but painting a space marine you get way more out of black primer, white zenithal, and then airbrushing your basecoat leaving the undersides mostly black. Washing power armor always makes the model look like crap to me and creates a ton of work to get your basecoat back to where you want it.
@PaintBravely If your 2mm static grass is standing straight up when using the applicator, then it is working correctly. At about 4mm, you will actually be able to hear that 'woosh' sound that you are expecting.
I got the ai art references Brent… I’m equally confused by that saga
I can see using the static grass applicator on a mini being difficult, but using it to make your own tufts might work well. Dobs of hot glue (or some kind of rubbery glue) on wax paper then static grass it. Maybe?
You can use just little drops of Elmer's glue on wax paper to make tufts. Not as flexible but otherwise they work just fine.
I believe typically most people use PVA glue (aka white glue most commonly used by elementary school) for making DIY tuffs.
Also, this is done on parchment paper for cooking. Yes the same kind of parchment paper used in DIY wet palettes.
I made a bug-zapper static grass applicator and... yea it doesn't work. It sort of makes some of the grass stand up, but not well enough to glue upright, and most of it just falls over anyway :(
I've had good results with my applicator, I don't use it much due to cleanup afterwards,
Best trick I've seen for clean up is a shop vac with a nylon stocking over the smallest hose attachment to block the extra static grass from being sucked into the vacuum.
AI could write you a skirmish game, the question is can it write you a GOOD skirmish game?
I just want a bit of effect and not hyper realism. The applicator is so fiddly and makes way more of a mess than having erect grass on a D&D mini base is worth.
first u.u
well like fist bit and pirsen who gave up that fly zapper well dumb yes my mom whos 82 has one and she uesses it a LOT nope the house not dirty thats why we get bugs but PA has thing with stink bugs house flys and froot flys and well yes yh old fly swoters do work but this does the job to but if yours is sparking it might be buted thats why got it at good will and yes can shot self never did yet its like one that hang up to keeep moskitoes a whay but no light PS do not tutch cats with it yes thay not like it LOL nest vid
