  1. You reading comments ? cool . I like your show . Fuck stats do it for quality and fun not for stats. Stats are evil. Today they are shit and then they blow up into milion. Love your work on entertaining us .. Both of you !
    fuk Wish I could spent $$ on you. I am on small budget but I would consider some stuff related to miniature world rather then tshirts. Maybe box of bits for basing . I cant find anything for nice base .. anyway I talk to much do de do …

  2. real question what would you say if GW asked you to put your podcast on Warhammer+ ? you keep the revenue and all but you get Added to a new platform.
    great podcast as always ! Keep up the good work !

  3. For me painting is more like a journey.
    I have like minor projects like a couple units that I know I want to paint next and then choose whatever I feel like whenever I feel like and I pick up the brush and enjoy how the minis develop until I'm done.
    The most I painted simultaneously was 36 guard men at the same time. I almost turned insane.
    For those of you who want to enjoy the painting process and not see it as a chore, I'd recommend not to go over ~10 models at a time.

  4. "I wanna be a cowboy", drinks coffee. If you really wanna wake up try getting a rubber band around a male goat…. If you know what I mean. Howdy from the south lol.

  5. Love the advice about thinking about what will make an army pop from 6 feet away. I've tried thinking about that with test models, and looking at them a ways away. Which reminds me of another idea I had recently, which was to try looking at models in other lighting than the painting workstation. Because you want the colors to still pop in a game store or basement that won't be as bright as a painting light.

  6. I switched to forcing myself to drink black coffee instead of soda a few years ago. Game changer.

    Also, yes, a fully painted army is not only exciting to accomplish but also excited to play against. Doesn't matter the paint job. Fully painted armies do tend to look nice on the tabletop and seem to bring a smile to most faces.

  7. For painting Models separately from the base it's sometimes useful to pin one foot to a big cork. Easy to handle and you can later use the pin to stick the model to a drilled hole the base, especially if said model is only standing on the tip of one toe, as Drukarii tend to do.

  8. 1:10:14 Jon making his point even more clear by saying "May i go to the bathroom" instead of "Where is the " haha. It still stands, i like the analogy of learning vocab before sentence structure as what you do to batch paint.

  9. I would think for painting armies, just use basic goal setting. Goals need to be:

    Specific
    Measurable
    Achievable
    Relevant
    Time-bound

    S-M-A-R-T

    Thank you project managmement.

    So set your goals for the army build following that simple approach and you should be able to get there.

  10. I don't get to paint very often, but I tend to try to segment what I'm painting. Eg: paint a single group of units (squad, monster type, etc)
    I also use rattle can primer so I prime my next set of units while I'm busy with the current one, and at least a week before I paint it (Rustoleum advises full curing and adhesion on plastic can take 5-7 days)

  11. Using ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL in a device that heats up the liquids you put into it could be dangerous. The Flash Point (the temperature at which a particular organic compound gives off sufficient vapor to ignite in air.) is just 53°F or 11.7°C for Isopropyl Alcohol.

    You may want to use L.A.'s Totally Awesome instead. It should be far less dangerous and works really well for stripping paints from models. It is pretty much the best paint stripper for miniatures in North America. Or at least that seems to be the conscious from people I watch on YouTube like Brent of Goobertown Hobbies, Casey of Ebay Miniature Rescues and I believe even Uncle Atom of Tabletop Minions.

    But Brent would be the best to talk about this with his knowledge of O.Chem… you know he has a PHD in that subject, even if he really doesn't use it too much now a days.

  12. You guys were asking about thought processes for painting armies.
    I don't do tournaments I'm just a basement player, with that said it takes Me a while too paint an army.
    There's a few things I tend to do with planning out an army I'll have the core of the paint scheme worked out before I start but I'll change complimentary colors at time too separate units and give more variety, changing robe colors and other minor details like that.
    For me, I'll start with a infantry unit too lock in the core scheme and generally do a centerpiece character early on. Then set those as the paint standard for the remainder of the army.
    It seems too work well for me but everyone's different.
