Cease to Hope posted:this is almost certainly referring to ebay miniature rescue, which has these super annoying clickbait thumbnails but is actually really sweet and sentimental about buying people's old models and trying to restore them in a way that reflects the original owner's intentions. it has a lot of good advice on cleaning up and repairing old, incomplete, or badly converted models. the general vibe is, "this is a cool idea, let's see if we can make it a reality." Love the concept, it’s what I’ve done a few times for fun- subscribed!

I really enjoy this lot of painters: Louise Sugden (Rogue Hobbies) - she's fun, extremely creative and comes from an art background. Colour-o-rama Ninjon - unfortunately he has to game the algorithm but once you move past that he's great. Fun painting style. MSPaints - Insanely great. Entertaining, down to earth, wildly good video work. Caters for differently abled hobbyists. Anvil of Doom miniatures - dedicated to painting old hammer in the old hammer style. Also an incredibly skilled illustrator 52 Miniatures - the best video work on any hobby YouTube, its mental. He has a wonderful understanding of colour and value. Highly recommended.

There’s two or three episodes about that, they’re the ones with Tom Hibberd. One was about contrast paints but touched on the hobby tools. What I like about those eps and Painting Phase in general is how clear eyed they are about GW. Not rah-rah evil empire but just appropriately jaded from working there for ages. They’re good at making the distinction between “this seems dumb if you’re a pissy dakka poster but there’s logical business reasons for it” and “this was genuinely badly managed and internally we could tell at the time”, with stuff like Finecast and Cursed City fitting into the latter.

Well Finecast is in the title but most of the episode is spent complaining about doing product design for Games Workshop and retail profit margins.

I pretty much agree with all the painting YouTube channels that have been listed here, and I'd add Sorastro to that list as well. A long while back I was painting up some zombies, and his Zombicide Black Plague videos gave me some much-needed inspiration in terms of getting them done quickly. And The Painting Phase video where Dave from MS Paints stops by for a chat is amazing, because Dave just gives no fucks and they all just keep breaking down into laughter. He's also one of the few YouTubers (of any genre, not just mini painting) who does comedy bits in his vids that are actually funny. Here it is for anyone who hasn't seen it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZ96z69Qrak

Seconding MS Paints as well. The videography is great, and he's charming. His videos aren't tutorials, just him doing a project and talking it through. Most of his stuff isn't Warhammer related but almost every one of his titles is, because if you don't put Warhammer in the title of a mini video nobody watches it.

IncredibleIgloo posted:Warhipster is really good, has a great voice, most of the videos are about getting the best results using mostly contrast paints. Another solid recommendation. What he does with Contrast paints is what GW should have been showing from the begining. Painting Phase have actually talked about how marketing screwed up by initially not letting them do exactly that, and insisting it be shown as a one and done product rather than an immensely useful tool in combination with other techniques. Warhipster nails how to paint in the traditional GW style while using Contrasts as part of the process. I do wish he'd varnish at the end to get a uniform finish though. Sydney Bottocks posted:I pretty much agree with all the painting YouTube channels that have been listed here, and I'd add Sorastro to that list as well. A long while back I was painting up some zombies, and his Zombicide Black Plague videos gave me some much-needed inspiration in terms of getting them done quickly. Can't believe I forgot to mention Dave. I didn't think I'd like MS Paints because comedy bits in hobby videos make my skin crawl (hello Miniac), but there's actual effort and craft in his so at worst they don't detract at all. His philosophy and attitude is genuinely inspiring, because he's trying to do as much as he can despite his disability, before he's unable. As someone who is also impaired I find it resonates a lot. He also got me to build my first gunpla kit through his enthusiasm and willingness to make painting it into a project purely about enhancing the kit rather than treating it like a 40k mini.

I agree he's a good dude but hard pass on the puppet poo poo. The biggest problem I have with him, and what's infected a lot of "high production" hobby youtube people now is the oversaturation of LEDs all over the model. If you're doing a tutorial I'd like to see what it actually looks like without a million purple and pink floodlights drowning out the end results, please. This isn't twitch, I need to know what your paintjob actually results in.

At this point, MS Paints isn't really a hobby tutorial channel anymore; it's basically a guy (and his wonderful puppets) doing his hobby vlog and documenting things in a fashion that clearly aims to entertain rather than educate. He's said several times that it actually pays him a pretty steady wage, so clearly he's found his YT niche and is doing pretty well with it.

KT players seem quite unhappy with the new box, sold out relatively quickly, not as insanely fast as the last few, it was up for a few hours at least but the rulebook in it only references the new terrain set for its mission setups and that terrain set sold out in minutes, they probably made way less of it I guess. Since it doesn't have the core rulebook in it it's not a good starter at all and it doesn't bode well for any future boxes being more available when they come out either. As for the actual teams/models, I guess they're cool if you like Eldar or Scouts but reading their abilities/options, they both seem a little boring imo. The Eldar one has probably the most complicated team that's ever been in KT in terms of choices, on paper at least they seem very powerful and they give you a lot of stuff if you mix it up a lot but you'd obviously have to buy other boxes to get some Howling Banshees or the other option and the Scout Marines only have a couple specialist options which are always the most interesting and they're pretty standard ones, heavy weapons guys, a sniper that's like the most bog standard sniper and then a particularly scouty scout. I guess you'd expect that from Scouts cause they're just a halfway between basic humans and Space Marines so it'd make sense they have elements of both mixed together. Either way neither

How many models does the eldar team have, they're 3 apl which makes them sound elite and from what I understand elite teams are in a tough spot right now against kasrkin and the 14 model vet guard team.

I ordered the box and I'm excited for both teams. I'm more of a painter rather than a player, though, and it's mostly just an opportunity to do the Aspect Warrior squad I've always wanted to build. The scouts can be buddies with the movie marine tactical squad that I built a long time ago. My big complaint about the Blades Of Khaine kill team is that it requires Dire Avengers, who despite being one of my favourite aspects, is a fairly old kit that doesn't stand up brilliantly to modern ones in my opinion. I'm planning to try kitbashing Avenger helmets and weapons with some Voidscarred Corsairs. Obviously, though, implicit in all this, is that I'm dropping a silly amount of money on this new modelling project  Sharkopath posted:How many models does the eldar team have, they're 3 apl which makes them sound elite and from what I understand elite teams are in a tough spot right now against kasrkin and the 14 model vet guard team.

Related aside, I feel a bit bad because I may have ruined killteam for a newish player by getting a corsair shredder to annihilate their vet guard spotter, sniper, and plasma gunner turn 1 activation 1 after they had a good time beating me the game before.

I guess you'd expect that from Scouts cause they're just a halfway between basic humans and Space Marines so it'd make sense they have elements of both mixed together. Either way neither Scouts are a fascinating board control team, and they are really all about the sgt and the initial setup. You want to shape the board early on with your excellent deployment tools, then threaten to turn any of your guys into full-fledged marines with the ability to make anyone a 3 APL double-shooter/fighter. Plus, at the top of the turn, anyone not within 6" of an enemy can flip to conceal and dash for free with that very tasty Stealth Relocation strat ploy. What do they do against elites, though? These guys are like junior Phobos, and they have the typical bolter-team problem that elites are going to get in against them. They have the fewest bodies of any non-elite team to punish that with counterattacks, too. What do these guys do about a Legionary Anointed or Cult Torment or Gellerpox Hulk that isn't just dying slowly? I do think these guys have more to them than first glance. They have a shitload of movement tech and Astartes Shotguns are a real weapon. I just think they're going to be kind of capped by the fact that the versatile teams, like Hunter Clade and Commandos, are stronger all-around, and elite teams aren't gonna care about their better-than-average base stats often enough for it to matter. This guys seem like Farstalkers, another fair, well-rounded team that probably isn't going anywhere because of that fairness. If they're good, it's going to be because Stealth Relocation is a bonkers ploy as long as you can trigger it (but that 6" bubble to shut it off is huge). Blades of Khaine are Void-Dancers with a bit more of a skew towards murdering tricky and swarm teams rather than elite teams. I don't think it's a good trade off. They're very fiddly, like Void-Dancers, but I don't think the sum total comes out to make a particularly powerful team, since their tools to prevent a counter-attack are fairly weak or situational. I think it's probably going to be more popular than the clowns, though. If you've not played against clowns before, you're about to find out how annoying 24APL with bonus out-of-sequence movement can be, but 8W on a 4+ save means you really only need a couple of good hits to put them down. Contempt is an extremely funny tac ploy, though. Shut down rerolls after you see the roll, lol. Peak elf bullshit.
