      Honestly that policy is so dumb and I see it as hurting Games Workshop more than helping them. It makes the community really fractured and hostile at times as well. GW is the closest thing to a household name wargaming has, they don't need to be so threatened by people using different minis they have the means to update their 30 year old models but choose not to. This is excluding blatant theft of IP like copying moulds, etc.

I could get a couple layers of a base coat before I couldn’t feel my hand. It’s slowly getting a little less painful, a little longer paint sessions and PT is kicking my ass, but I’m not sure I would have gotten back into painting without some of your motivational videos.

These days no go, the price is off the charts . New pricing is bordering on insane , so i have moved to all 3d models. Some brilliant stuff to be had for way cheaper and when people see it painted it converts them very quickly, then you mention the price and they are totally sold on 3d.

    I've always enjoyed the way you keep, and embrace your mistakes(or inefficiencies, as they sometimes turn out to be) in your videos. When you were using that purple, it reminded me of the first time I tried to paint an imperial fist. I just tried to take the GW imperial fist yellow and just brush it over black primer.
    He turned out pretty grainy 😅

      A few personal favorites are by Meteor, (Their album Parallel Lives is fantastic and the song "Round One" should interest you!) Wolf and Raven (All their music is safe for content creators) and Ultraboss. (Has a really broad range of genres he plays guitar in thanks to many collaborations. Specially when he works with Isidor!)

    Been waiting so long for a good drybrushing montage, almost felt a bit Top Gun.
    The thing that has put me off playing 40k or AoS all these years is the cost, 3d printing has given me the chance to grow my own pile of shame. I have painted SO much more since I invested in a printer. GW used to have the best models bar none, but not the case any more. So many artists on Patreon offering so many models at a fraction of the cost. Its a no brainer for those of us to just love to paint.

  • @BarokaiRein
    @BarokaiRein Před 2 lety +29

    3d printing basically just solves a lot of issues that come from relying on one company to make all your models. Like for example the issue of GW never updating certain model ranges like Eldar or Seraphon for example. Why pay premium for 20 years old models when you can just print infinitely better ones for fraction of the cost?
    Another thing is that it just gives you more options. I just prefer the proxies in my STL library over stuff GW makes because I've hand picked everything in there. For example I looked at about hundred giants when I started working on a mega gargant project and ended up buying 12 of my favourites that I then narrowed those down to 4 which I printed and painted as the army. Now that doesn't mean that I've now got 8 giant models that will never be used because whenever I make a new list that uses a gargant mercenary I can just pick a new gargant who's style fits that specific army. I shit you not I've actually got 3 different mega gargant sized lizardmen that I could use in a seraphon list.

    • @TheOneAndOnlyLUUUU
      @TheOneAndOnlyLUUUU Před 2 lety +4
