That is quite clever. They have a built in goblin motivator!

@@cristhianmlr A few people have written similar things but I think that this is not entirely true. It only stops you from buying more than you can paint but it can still be more than you can afford.

@@akumaking1 Unfortunately I'm not sure that printing yourself automatically will solve the issue. You might have a lower price per unit but you can still buy more STLs than you'll ever need and print more miniatures than you can ever paint 🫣

@@zblackcapricorn Thank you for that feedback. I've previously learned that for some people this can be very sensitive about this kind of stuff. Obviously I'm not 😆

@@gav-gf7cr That is a really great idea! Is it perhaps possible to drybrush with ink 🤔 Would be cool to combine with what I did with the Tzeentch warrior.

@@mrnobodypresents1349 Thank you!

@@honestminis9530 No problem. It was very good.

I find the video game very enjoyable, precisely for the reasons you mentioned. Sometimes I also find myself just watching the introduction without actual playing the game 😎 It is also one of the major influences on my own skirmish game. Most notable we have brought the concept of stances along. Still I decided not to go there with this video because I've found videos to go bad when you mix subjects 🙂

@@honestminis9530 The introductions, yes-yes! I never skip them, or the briefs. One of the only games where I do that.

@@luigi7112 I should have mentioned that. I let them sit for a while to dry up but not cure. When you drybrush you should keep the layers quite thin. As the colours have not cured they will smudge a bit but that is also what makes the blends :)

@honestminis9530 probably it was my fault and missed that. Thanks!

@@LutraLovegood I suppose it is a positive thing to be called a wizard, thank you :) To have an undeniable lack of space that is also clearly visible must be a healthy goblin obstacle!

@@hlorridirudel9627 Thank you! I simply put them on before the oil colours have cured and so far I've never had any real trouble with them falling off.

@@honestminis9530 Thank you for the answer! Do you seal your models?

@hlorridirudel9627 I've stopped doing that because I've had no such problems. On the other hand I don't get to play very often either :p

@@aheroforfun6401 That sounds a bit like my other video on this subject. To set some sort of fixed number that the goblin cannot explain away. It seems that you also realized that it needs to be a realistic number otherwise the goblin will just run it over.

@@piotrjeske4599 I think that it only makes you less likely to buy more than you can consume. You still run the risk of buying more than you can afford. Unless, like you did, you let the wizard set the rules for how much you can spend. Well done!

@@viewtifuljoe4412 I have no idea what all the 40k stuff means because I've never played it, but I'll take your word for it 😆 I don't have to much direct problems with missing miniatures and rotation. As I have only played kitchen table Kill Team rotation is simply something we ignore and almost all of my miniatures are kitbashes so I build whatever I need 🥳 Indirectly I do see the problem as it might hurt the long term longevity of the game.

@@philedwards7331 It could never work for me as no one gives me any money any longer. Especially not to buy miniatures 😕 But it is as true as with all other stuff like gambling and stocks. Don't spend money you cannot afford to lose!

@@shedknight Putting things in a pile that cannot be seen sounds like a clever way for the goblin to lose the wizard 🫤

@@KristopherMelin-l4i I can confirm your findings. Just the potential of feeling immensely stupid when you get the "do you actually need more" question is often strong enough..

@@codyott1982 Unfortunately I think that only stops you from buying more than you can use. You can still buy more than you can afford. But the comments to this video are full of great suggestions regarding how to solve that part. Just make sure that you let your wizard choose 🙂

@@cassiomx88 Because I fondly remember it as a kid I actually recently tracked down a second hand orginal Hero Quest that I've been playing with my son. I found that I still like it. I've never tried advanced though. I think I mainly collect to paint as well. I do play a bit with a single friend but we mainly play our own "Mordheimish" game. There I already have enough miniatures to last several years.

@@cassiomx88 Facing the goblin is probably the most straight forward way to handle it. I'm happy that you saw the problem and found a solution. As I see it your wizard prepared the scene so that the goblin could not rush past without asking for permission. Just like being well fed before you face a chocolate bar :)

@@CrimsonPhoenix75 Sounds like an uphill struggle.. But with that many goblins around the wizard will gain xp really fast!

@@sebo641 I guess feeling guilty when you buy really dampens the spirit of the goblin!

@honestminis9530 which is a good thing in my book, otherwise the goblin has too much power

@@sebo641 Yes, I totally agree!

@@flitzpieperich If buying is your hobby then do it as long as you enjoy it. I will buy the second hand miniatures when you go bankrupt 😝

@@Inquisitor_Lelouch Thank you for your feedback!

@@wolfmanhcc I don't know which is cheaper in the long run..

lol. for me It often used to be when id taken drugs that the goblin would want miniatures more than ever. Years ago, there would even be occasions when I couldn't remember what id brought online until the 'product is on its way' email would appear a day or 2 later. Especially with alcohol or tranquillisers.

@@honestminis9530 too many variables. At lease miniatures can be sold on at a later date. I've has issues with both in the past.

@@cassiomx88 I guess that the second hand market for drugs is pretty small..

@@novaenforcer1563 Sounds reasonable. I rarely used any physical money but I did set up a balance together with a small scheme where I get a small kickback when I eat lunchbox and when I go to the gym.

I think that some parts of your method could be improved. But I do love the idea to kitbash a house!

@@honestminis9530 Isn't this just bushcraft videos?

@@vulpinemachine Perhaps that is the next level. How to kitbash your house in the grimdark style! I'm not sure my wife would agree though 😆

@@honestminis9530 some sacrifices must be made. For the emperor.

Finally someone that understands that it is not just all about miniatures. Thank you! I have identified a persistent problem of shopping on the way back from the gym. Suddenly there are suspicious amounts of drinks in your bag...

My wife and I always eat at the concession before doing the shopping. 🎉

That is what I did with my Bretonnians. I ended up missing the release and had to wait another month before I could get them. Did I die. Nope. Did I weep. No. Staring down FOMO is one of the most enjoyable things around 🤠

😂 That is a bummer. It is wierd how they always end up with that information.

@honestminis9530 he's got it memorized 😁

Simple and effective! I do however buy a lot on the second hand market (mainly old stuff) and then you kind of have to snatch it if available :P

@@honestminis9530yeah I could see that.

Same...except that I also kitbash so I still have a pretty big pile of shame...

@@NikkiTheOtter The vast majority of my pile is second hand purchases so at the moment I have plenty of money left in my hobby budget but still have close to too many miniatures to paint 🤥

@@honestminis9530 I have almost an entire unpainted Skaven army. 400 clanrats. I don't intend to paint them any time soon.

@BreadTeleporter1968 Yep. This problem did not exist when I was young 🤔

I believe we have different priorities. My greatest spending is not buying stuff from GW, it is buying second hand miniatures and there I mainly hunt for the stuff from the late 90's :) (and there I've found a whole new level of FOMO 😆) I'm very happy that you are happy that you watched my video!

The quantity of stl files for 40K alone in my possession would take me a life time to print everything

3d printing will still cost you an arm for the STLs actually worth printing, then your leg for the resin and other supplies you will need. Then when you have that all together you will still need to devote time to figuring out how not to have regular print failures from the hundreds of things that can go wrong with your print in addition to the time spent getting your models off the build plate, getting rid of the supports, cleaning and curing it.

@@mk-ultraviolence1760 This post reads like something someone who hasn't 3d printed would say. 1. STL files are plentiful and often free, even good ones, use Yeggi 2. Resin can be expensive, yes, but proportionate to buying plastic? No 3. Once you know how to print you shouldn't be having print failures all the time. Good printers can print hundreds of times without failure.

​@@mk-ultraviolence1760 Expensive? Yes. As expensive as buying from GW? No. And then you can print as many of those files as you'd like at a fraction of the upfront cost. As an example: I paid exactly $33 for all the STLs for my Necron list. They are, as far as I can tell, Identical to the real models. Now, I am printing on a bigger printer, but my cheaper printer which I could use was $200. Resin is $18/kg for the type I'm using. I can probably print most or all of the army with 1 kg of resin, but to be safe, let's call it 2. We're at $269 (nice). PPE are nitrile gloves at $10 and a respirator $30. So $309 all in if I had just started, most of the cost is reusable, thus the next print job cost will be drastically reduced. Now let's look at it if I'd bought it from GW: Void Dragon: Let's get the Christmas box $240, it's just $5 more than I would pay piecemeal and then we have some extra stuff! Silent King: $170 Trazyn the Infinite: $32 Chronomancer: $42 1 unit of 5 Immortals: Let's sub these for what comes in the Christmas box, the extra lychguards or something. 1 unit of 5 Lychguards: Christmas box 2x 3 Scarab Swarms: 1 is in the Christmas box, let's just go without the second because why would you order just 3 and we're just 40 points short so 🤷‍♂ 1 units of 3 canoptek wraiths: $62 Doomstalker: $52 Canoptek Spyder: $45 Seraptek Heavy Construct: I could not find one for less than $900, as it is not available new. However, it looks like it WAS $291 so let's use that. WG Cost: $934 Assuming you can get the perfect maximum 25% off on all these models from 3rd party retailers or used maybe, let's go with a VERY generous $700. Which means I can do my thing, starting from nothing, twice. Now, my list is crazy, but why wouldn't I have fun with it? But even a more reasonable list is as expensive or worse than my startup costs here.

@@mk-ultraviolence1760 its still cheaper on average and most 3d printers have those issues ironed out now. You comparing old problems to new fleshed out tech. 200 Dollar 3d printers can even pass and get the job done well.

@@DanielRisberg I have bought way to many but now I realise that I still have no idea how much they actually cost 🤔

@@acid2go Simple and effective. I love it!

@@mk-ultraviolence1760 I suppose that 3d printing only can affect the price and variety? And that you can still missbehave when it comes to the amount resulting plastic!

​@@honestminis9530 The problem with 3d printing is you are essentially trading money for time and effort and even then you will still dump a considerable amount of money on it. Why? Well other than the cost of the machine and the resin you have all the supplies you will need to set up an area to print and the necessary safety gear to print in resin. Then you have to find files to print which yeah you can cheap out on and only use free files but I will say 80-90% of them aren't even worth printing. Then 99.9% of the time using free files you will have to support them yourself in addition to making sure your settings are correct for the file you are using. Then after all that work and money spent you will still have print failures and mistakes on the model which means more time and effort.Then you have to clean the models and cure them which means guess what? More time and/or money spent. Then after all is said and done you will look at the first free STL model with a shit ton of pock marks and finally see the actual reality of 3d printing when you buy STL files that are actually worth printing and even then you will still have all the problems listed above. To be clear here, I don't mean to be down on 3d printing with this as I myself do 3d printing and have been getting more into it just don't expect it to be the miracle that ends your GW plastic crack addiction.

@@mk-ultraviolence1760 Thank you for that clarification. Kind of what I expected. I currently have no interest in 3d printing myself. Partly because of the mentioned issues but also that I generally dislike resin miniatures. I have bought two professionally printed ones and even they have been a slight disapointment. But obviously also se the huge potential when you do get it right!
