Who was the person that helped you get into the hobby? Don't forget to check out Tempest Terrain's awesome Rapid Fire Dicebox: www.kickstarter.com/projects/steelandflint/the-rapid-fire-dicebox-from-tempest-terrain?ref=didx8x
It was your damn channel, guy. You and you alone.
Well, there was this giant space marine cuttout in my local news agents...
But if there was a person I had to name, it would probably be you, mate.
For my it was my Science teacher back in year 7 and all so this CZcams channel.
Unfortunately, pain; I had to fight for every moment. My mum hated this stuff so I was always kind of sneaking around. She tolerated it more than video games, but not by much. My nostalgia from that time is deeply tinged with anger and depression. I spent most of the video crying out of regret.
My uncle back in 1998, great times.
Well fuck. Wasn't expecting to cry while watching a midwinter video.
My dad was the one that got me and my brother into the hobby. I'll always remember him taking us to games day and him building us a baneblade tank each out of cardboard.
He died three years ago, and never got the chance to meet my daughter. I've got so many of his 80s models that need painting, but can never find the push to paint them.
Thanks for the video dude, sorry about your dad!!
Thanks Dani, hope life is treating you well. Give me a hug if you see me at an event, yeah? :)
@MidwinterMinis Well with a daughter, it's exciting if nothing else! :)
Oh you can be sure!
@@DaniThornton-s2h I made the mistake of watching this at work. I envy people who had good dads. I didn't because he didn't want to be. Great video Guy.
@@mal2ksc77sorry man. I hope you are ok
My goodness. Right in the feels, I let this video play to just listen to while driving to work this morning and had to steer clear of the fast lane because I cried so hard. Very well chosen words about loved ones and nostalgia - they really hit home. @MidwinterMinis I am sorry about your dad and that he wasn‘t able to meet your kids. Such things are often (mistakenly) taken for granted in life, but everything is quite fragile really and one can be thankful if all is alright when waking up each morning. All the best!
Excellent video and lovely tribute to your dad. Such a shame he didn't meet the twins. He would have adored them.
Little did we know that when you were in your room painting miniatures, playing your guitars and writing and recording music that you were actually quietly building a career. X
Thanks mum, I love you. Sorry I phoned you too late to warn you that this video might make you a bit emotional!
@@MidwinterMinis❤
I am not crying... you're crying!!
Such kind words, thank you :)
Sorry for your loss Guy, I'm glad we got you here and glad that you out of all people was the one that started my hobby adventure, hope to see you do more from retro, wishing best for you and your kids
Thanks so much, my friend!
You can be proud Guy, i can probably speak for the community when i say you've been our "father figure" introducing so many of us to the hobby we now cherish and love.
Noooo no no, don't do this to me, haha. Thank you so much
Well in my case more like a little brother instead of a father figure heh
@@MidwinterMinis i can fully say you are the reason i was inspired to work towards a knight/titan army as well as one of, if not the biggest influence on my painting style. thank you for everything you have done for the community. keep up the good work, and i will keep watching your videos. your scrap gargant was probably the biggest inspiration. Thank you for everything, Guy, truly thank you.
That's a bit much, mate. Calm down.
Nah man, I have a dad and he and I get a long just fine. Don't idolize internet strangers. You're forming unhealthy parasocial attachments.
While I worked at GW I would always refer to finecast as the ‘champagne of casting materials’. Seemed a good fit for the juxtaposition of it’s supposed marketed vs reputed bubbly qualities.
Haha, that's actually genius
Bubbly, overpriced, makes it difficult to keep your sword straight... sounds about right!
i love all of the retro painting videos, plz paint some chaos dwarfs with big silly hats, love the Chorfs
They're a classic!
Once again Guy, you’ve managed to make me laugh, smile, and cry. And your music is spot on as it carries the spirit and emotion of the video. Thank you for this. I need more of this type of video in my life. ❤ plus Blood Angels are THE BEST chapter!
Thanks Dave. Please remember I wouldn't even be doing this if it wasn't for your influence. Love you buddy!
You can hear the emotion in Guys voice when hes talking about his dad and his kids and being able to share a part of then with eachother and himself through the hobby. Really sweet and sincere video this one
I was not prepared for that emotional roller-coaster. I came for blood angles painting, and left with a teary smile. Thank you guy.
Not me getting misty-eyed at some retro blood angels. Couldn't possibly be
You and Hatty should be so proud of yourselves, not ashamed to say that your final speech just brought me to tears. Can't wait for my kids to wake up in the morning for hugs.
I never comment on videos, because who is going to read them anyway, but here I am.
As a similar age, I got the same box set one year for Christmas and was hooked. This is a beautiful video in commemoration of your dad, and it brought me to tears.
While I’ve not lost my dad, he is in hospital as I type this, recovering from an operation which saved his life. I moved away from home to England 12 years ago and I miss him dearly. Nostalgia of my happy childhood memories, similar to yours shown in the video hit me like a truck. As a father to a 3.5 year old boy, I can’t wait to share my love of miniatures with him too. Maybe he’ll have some sort of similar reflections of me when he’s old and I’m gone, that way, a part of me will live on in him, just as your dad does in you.
Such a beautiful film guy! This film drops on the day I attended a friend Craig's funeral who among many passions ran our local gaming group the Purple Sparkly Unicorns, he welcomed me back into this hobby after a long break just as he has with many others. Feels like a day for reflection and appreciation. Thank you Guy and farewell Craig.
My mom died last year and your outro made me remember all the fond memories I had. Thanks Guy ❤
Miss you Mama
Im 50 and lost my Dad in April. I remember him taking me to gaming stores on holiday as a boy right through to showing him the painting trophy I won just a month before his death this year.
All through the years he was always supportive, interested and an ear for my hobby ramblings.
Great, emotive video. Miss you Dad. X
As a father who has two kids that also never got to meet my dad, that opening hit hard. My daughter is 8 and has been painting minis with me since she was 4. My 5 month old son is also fascinated by the little plastic guys. It’s a great shared hobby to have with children.
27:44 "... is the soft hum of a lullaby that echoes in the quite corners of your heart" that bit really got me
I never had a dad. So now I try extra hard to be the best one possible.
This video is truly special. Blood Angels were also my first army, and tbh I still remember the first box I picked myself.
This is just... Amazing, I almost cried as well, because I still remember all of the stuff I did with my grandmother, and the memories at the old store here in València.
As always, amazing video Guy.
Was not expecting to cry like a baby this morning. Like you, my dad got me the big 90s 40k box because I thought the Blood Angels on the cover were the coolest. This videos brought up a lot of memories of times when my life wasn't as hard as it is today. Thank you.
I love that sponsor! He saw a problem formulated a solution and created it! Cool product
I was waiting for the new video and here it is!
Edit: this video was actually so emotional by the end RIP Guy’s Dad
Great ending to the video, and the series.
You can see on your face what the message from Mike meant and how the process helped you connect with and memorialise your dad.
That, uh... That ending really knocked me off my feet there. Excuse me while I go look for a box of tissues, then use up the entire thing.
Seeing Guy's expression when the guest reached out to him was incredibly moving and powerful. Thanks for sharing that moment.
These Blood Angels look amazing! Honestly, the super-saturated, cartoonish look of the magazines and catalogs of the 90’s always looked better to me than the “official“ painting schemes, maybe because I always thought of miniatures as toys (I never played miniature war games, but I liked to paint tanks.)
“Nostalgia is the ache of happiness remembered”-wow that’s good. I lost my dad 30 years ago (he was 57, the same age that I am now). Because he was a history buff and an educator, he loved the WW2 models and minis that I painted for my dioramas. My best memories are of him teaching me about history, especially about WW2 battles and the tanks and planes used by all sides. I learned so much from him that I tested out of courses at school when teachers realized that they weren’t teaching me anything. He was on the autism spectrum (as am I) and we had a difficult time connecting emotionally, and I ended up equating knowledge sharing with love. This video has reduced me to tears.
Loved every minute of this episode. My younger brother, I think I was more or less same age as you were when I started, 9 or 10. 💯 nostalgia
That was deep. Very deep. I lost my dad Nov 2019. While he didn't play any of the games, I spent the 80's showing him what I'd been working on and then the 90's and 2000's sitting in the office after work a couple of times a week (we worked together too) painting, chatting to him and listening to music together. My 90's Bretonnians give me a similar feeling your Blood Angels do to you. Big hugs mate x
Luckily this was cheered right up by "Ohhh my word... I didn't fuck it up" Legend level quote 😁
Honestly that was a great job on fixing that model. And the painting too. Very 90's
And finecast... yeah... no need to add anything there
Incredible work on the painting and now I'm having a quiet, tearful moment in the sunshine on the veranda ❤ love you Guy
Thanks David, love you buddy!
bro this is my first video i've watched on your channel. I cannot say thank you enough times for having the courage to share this vulnerable part of your childhood, your relationship with your dad, and the hobby. I lost my father a little more than a year and a half ago, he didn't introduce me to the hobby, but everything you say at the end about nostalgia resonates completely. thank you thank you again. I admire what you've done with this video and look forward to watching more of your channel. you have absolutely made connection possible, bravo.
Great video, we're of a similar age and second edition was my first real foray into Warhammer, though there was a copy of Rogue Trader lying around... :) My dad bought me my first miniatures when I was 10, he drove a 90 minute round trip to pick up some Space Marine chaplains, techmarines and Eldar Dire Avengers, because that's what you do when you don't know what these little metal space men toys are :) My dad never understood what I saw in 40k, but he knew I loved painting and always encouraged me. We lost my dad 5 years ago as well and I got back into the hobby shortly afterwards. Now painting is my go to method of getting through whatever I'm struggling with. Thanks for the nostalgia trip and reminding us how nostalgia isn't a fault, it's a way of remembering the good times :)
Hey Guy. I lost my father a little over two years ago, and like you, my future children will never get to meet their grandfather. I think it’s beautiful that your children will have this connection not only to you, but to your father as well, and I hope that one day I can give my kids something that can connect them to their grandfather the way you have here.
Vengeance of the Blood Angels intro in there at 17.
God how I loved that game. Mallock was a character I kept alive on every mission and he became famous in my household .
Such a cool game for the time! Loved it
@@MidwinterMinis Playing alone at night in the dark the Magus's creepy voice saying you're going to die, you'll burn in hell fire scared the crap out of me.
As a random non-gamer who dabbled in painting 40k and Warhammer back in the 90s, seeing blood angels as they did in the magazines is just bringing back so many memories. Thank you Guy, I can't wait to see more ❤️
A beautiful hit of nostalgia.
Thank you for sharing, Guy.
❤️😢💪🙏
I’m not the kind of guy who puts comments on CZcams videos… but this one.
I was there to see some old school Blood Angels minis, not to finish in tears. The way you look at these minis, you speak about your father and your family… all these emotions, I understand them so well. I’ve lost my father 2 years ago and I’m still mourning him, he was such an example for me.
Thanks for this video and to share this with us.
Your father must be proud of you, wherever he is now.
Even though I didn’t get into warhammer before 9th I still feel an overwhelming amount of nostalgia
Bloody hell mate. Brought me to tears. I lost my dad 5 months ago. He wasn't into Warhammer but he was a professional artist. I always would show him my models and look for his advice. "Nostalgia is the ache of happiness remembered". thats what got me.
@2:14 "Blessed are the cheesemakers" - I see your dad was a man of culture!
I grew up playing Space Crusade and Heroquest with my brother, and we've recently started playing through the re-release (we're both in our 40's!). Also started talking about going back to 90's necromunda as I've been going through eBay picking up the gangs I didn't get back in the day.
Thanks for sharing your story and for another awesome video. Keep it up :)
EDIT - Mike Mcvey, what a guy! Seems like a great bloke!
You have been my biggest influence. Mainly because you were my first influence. Your videos gave me the confidence to paint minis, to buy a camera, to start video editing. So much of what I love about my creative life, photography, videography, mini painting, oil painting, video editing, 3D printing. It was all enabled by getting into Warhammer, which was only possible thanks to you. Yes objectively speaking, there will always be better painters, better videographers, better Warhammer content. However, your name still deserves to be known as one of the greats. I’m sure I’m not the only one here leaving a heartfelt comment about how you changed our lives. The thousands of us who owe our newfound passion to you serve as proof. You rock, your passion is a unique sort that I try to hold for my creative endeavors. Thank you Guy, I and many others are so thankful for the path you inspired us to walk.
i was not expecting this, bit teary. Lost my dad too, 2010. sorry for your loss. we had a similar thing with airfix (can't look at a spitfire without tearing up to this day). great stuff as always Guy, all the best to you and yours.
Lets go, been painting blood angels since I was about the same age you were, so this is nice thing for me to see.
Gorgeous. Really goes to show how painting as a hobby connects us across time and generations.
Can’t wait until we can finally get that battle report! And… seeing the Dark Angels face off against the Space Wolves.
Cried, and chuckled, and marvelled. Definitely your best work yet.
One of the best videos of this channel!
Thanks so much, it certainly means a lot to me
@@MidwinterMinis so I am from Germany, after this video I want to invite you here, put a cool german beer in your hand and just sit at the coast and watch the seagulls harass some kids at the beach! Moved me, really!
This is genuinely one of the loveliest videos on the hobby I've ever seen. Even with the passing of time, a loss of a parent doesn't become easy, but it becomes easier to look back with fondness to the joys and love you shared. Thank you for sharing this part of yourself.
Absolutely beautiful video Guy. A fitting tribute to your dad who got you into a hobby that you cherish so much and an incredible paint job
Thank you Guy. I lost my father unexpectedly in December. It’s been a catalyst for me making more hobby time to reminisce and feel the nostalgia of my childhood.
Thank you for being so open about something so personal.
And now we can rest. Epic series. Superb story telling. Lovely piano version of MWM theme too. ALso, objectivity is overrated Guy. Subjectivity is what counts. Like an opinion on a favourite flavour. The only one that counts is yours. If 2nd Ed minis is that then it is the greatest for you.
Mentoring people while doing things you love is a gift. Those connections and common experiences really are what makes a community great. Although we may never meet in person, you have inspired and enabled me along with so many more ! Your channel was the spark that got me painting and showing my kids the value of spending time together learning and making something cool. Lots of cool things. Quite the tribute to your Dad.
i already know this video will be a banger
What a lovely tribute to your dad, and what a great video to end this series. I'm gonna go call my parents, as this made me realise that life's too short, and you should absolutely take the time to connect with those you love.
It’s 5 in the morning for me, but idk, sleep is temporary, blood is forever
That's the spirit! Haha
Never thought i would cry to one of your vids but dam.
Guy i have to thank you. Watching your videos has not only been nice painting tips but they have taught me to just injoy the hobby and the steps to making a good mini and to cherish the memories. So thank you and keep the amazing vids.
Amazing Paintjob
Somebody cuts onions here.
Awesome Video Guy - Never thought I would cry in front of a Warhammer video. You were my first creator, who brought me back into miniature building/painting after my childhood. Thank you so much
YES!!!🎉
Guy -- you're spot on about nostalgia being an ache. It's Greek for "a pain for returning," and, really, a pain caused by knowing that you can't. This was a beautiful video.
I'm not crying, You're crying. Right in the feels Guy. Right in the feels. Big hugs brother.
A beautiful collection of 2nd edition miniatures and a touching tribute to your father. Thanks for this, Guy.
Such a touching video. As a kid growing up in the 90s, I can truly relate to this. I'm 40 yrs old now, and i remember painting, playing and collecting warhammer when I was just 13 yrs old.
Your nostalgia and especially the backstory and your reaction on the feedback of your idol brought a tear or two to my eyes.
Didn't expect a video like this to hit the way it did... I lost my grandfather a mere two days ago, and remembering all the times we would go visit just to say hello, or the summer that I helped him work on his plane... It really aches to think back of all the good times we had together as a family. I'll always keep those moments close to my heart, as you do with memories of your dad. Thanks so much for the video.
One of my favourite Warhammer videos I've ever seen. Great job. Right in the feels.
I have been waiting years for this video. I got into 40k and built out a full second edition army and collection because of your videos. I play Blood Angels. I am slowly introducing my kids to the hobby too.
Then, there I am, weeping over this video because I miss my dad, fully aware of how old he is and how little I get to see him.
You really are the best of the community, and I will never watch this video again.
I lost my father almost a decade ago and that final speech really hit me in the feels, im so glad you were able to paint those blood angels and get your hero to sign off on how great they are, Guy i say this as a novice to painting you are truly one of my inspirations for paining, Thank you, truly
This is one of the most beautiful and mind blowing warhammer videos ive ever watched. The passion and love for the hobby and the nostalgia come across so well. And those finished blood angels. Truely wonderful. Thankyou Guy.
yeah came in totally not expecting to be crying by the end. Bless you Guy.
this has to be the best midwinter minis video ever. the story, the painting the music. it just feels right. it brought me to tears it was just perfect well done
One of your best videos Guy!! Thank you so much for everything you do for the hobby community!! And a wonderful tribute to your father
Hey Guy! Honestly you made me cry in my Kitchen painting up some Marines. I know exactly how you feel about the loss of your dad, the memories, your Kids not knowing him etc. It‘s the same at my side here. Just Today during Dinner my Four-year-old asked about my dad and we looked at pictures and the Model Cars that once belonged to my dad and are now everywhere in the livingroom. Wonderful and gut wrenching at the same time.
Thank you for sharing something like that while painting up these fantastic Models from another time.
A truely remarkable Video and Series.
I salute you Brother!
Cheers, Brother Julez
You were the one who kinda brought me into the hobby and made me convince my dad to get a combatpatrol with me, and i cant thank you enough for that
Thank you for sharing your journey. Really touching. Hit a soft spot in the old wolf. Gonna call my dad now.
I rarely comment any video but I wanted to tell you thanks. Your father will be proud of you. I have lost both of my parents, and the hobby is one of the things that bring me good memories from my childhood when both of them were full of life. ❤
What a wonderful video Guy. I am 51 and having an absolute blast re-living my youth through Warhammer (now that I can actually afford to do it the way my younger self could only dream of)! I have joined my local Warhammer club and I am totally invested in my Blood Angels which I get such pleasure out of painting and gaming with. As importent as all this is though it is nothing compared to the shared experience I have with my 11 year old son who has also found the joy of 40K and has developed a gloriously enthusiastic connection with Death Guard (what young boy doesn't appreciate rancid poxwalkers and hulking Blightlord Terminators)! The shared connection we have when modelling and playing together gives me immeasurable joy and we played our first doubles tournament together a few weeks ago which was such a great experience - even though we got hammered! A nostalgic reflection of times gone by can be bitter sweet but to know you are forging life-long memories and positive connections with your kids is the very essence of good parenting. It doesn't matter what the focus of that connection is - though let's be honest if it involves bolt guns and chain swords that's pretty epic! Keep up the good work and much respect from another Warhammer dad. 😄
Thank you, thank you. I am sorry for your loss. you made me think of my dad who died a few years ago and reminded me of how much I missed him. But more the happy times. so again thank you.
So sorry for your loss Guy. There are no words that can make it better, but hopefully time can help heal. He's proud.
Beautiful story. Great job. Relived those memories with you. Thanks
Way to close out the series Guy, you've made us all bawl our eyes out! I hope you're happy! Seriously thought what an excellent paintjob on such a unique oldhammer mini, and such a beautiful message to go along with it. Really great video ♥ thank you
Who knew I would cry from a painting tutorial? That was beautiful, Guy.
tbh the way you treat your kids is so sweet, you’re genuinely such a good parent. your kids are interested in what you do, and allowing them to paint their little own figures definitely made them feel connected to you. mourning is non-linear, and i wish you even more happy days and happier memories.
What a blast from the past! Thank you for taking us on trip to the past Guy!
There is a chant during wrestling shows I particularly love. It's "You deserve it!" and that's exactly what I wanted to shout when watching Mikes vid. You're the man Guy!!
Amazing episode of nostalgia. Thank you for making it. Bravo sir!
Had to put my brush down and really think about that ending. Wasn't expecting to cry over a painting guide today but here we are.
Sitting here painting my own Warhammer, I was watching youtube on the side until your video caught my attention. I got to play my first game of Combat Patrol with my friend, and even knowing his mini's weren't complete or even if we were using a normal table with cups and bowls as terrain, we still had an absolute blast. Watching this video made me realize that I'm doing exactly what you did as a young kid with your dad, and I am so incredibly thankful for you making this video and sharing your heart-touching words with the whole community. I hope to one day look back at the memories just like you get to. With all of one's heart, I am sorry for the loss of your Father, and thank you so very much for all you do for this community, and for your friends and family. You rock.
What a tribute to both our wonderful hobby and your dad. The minis turned absolutely gorgeous just like the video. Sorry for your loss .
Awesome, just awesome.
We seem to be very alike, as i got the 2nd Ed boxset from my folks around 10 years old in the mid 90s, and i also painted them as Blood Angels (i still think that look is my fav look for any SM Chapter). Ive justed turned 40 and have a 5yo daughter who loves to be questioning me about what im painted. I can totally relate to all that, and the nostalgia this video has kicked up in me.
Im very lucky as i still have my dad, despite coming within a gnats hair of losing him back in 2020 (but the act of strangers who must have been heaven sent). We can only try to be the dads they were to us and build on the examples they set, as well as treasure the times we have together. Im sure your kids will with you, as i know mine does with me. And who knows, maybe they'll want to paint Blood Angels too!
I didn’t expect to cry today over a CZcams vid but it happened. Thank you for this
I did not agree to get teary eye to blood angles video. I have never played 40k, probably never will. Your channel always brings joy to me. This is one of your best yet. Thanks for the memories.
I can't imagine how fulfilling this moment must have been for you. Thank you so much for sharing it all with us 🥲
That captain looks absolutely superb! Mwah! Chefs kiss!
Just : thank you, for every thing your are doing with your heart, today, you made me cry, thank you again.
What a video. Thanks for everything, you're a pillar of this community Guy.
Beautiful and moving, your dad is I’m sure very proud of you. Take comfort in that mate.
This video really moved me! Thank you!!! My parents never shoved any interest in my hobbies, so it was just me and my buddies.
I was not ready for the end of that video. Beautiful words. Thank you 🙏
