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

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...

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

@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!

@@HeadHunterSix I suppose negative feedback works as well. So one other way of solving chocolate bar cravings would be to store them in the pile of shame 😆 And, yes, keeping the goblin under control is a never ending story..

@@magnus80a I love simple rules and this sounds like a really great trade-off between complexity and effect! And the radio between the numbers seems very reasonable. I also use a small cooldown period but scaling by price seems wise!

I kinda do the same thing, just not so logically - I just wait 2 weeks, and if I still want it, I'll get it. 2 weeks is a lot of time to "sober up" from quick decisions. There are no "but"-s. Just buy or don't. Sooner or later, someone will do a spiritual successor to certain product you crave. Like video games: System shock -> Bioshock -> Prey 2017...

@@gav-gf7cr I just love that phrasing! And I'm also happy that someone can confirm my findings 🙂

I suppose that if you sell stuff it is better to be in the middle and flirt in all directions. If you read enough GW publications you can probably always find something that confirm that your way of painting belongs there. No that you have to do that because in the end if you like it it belongs :)

@@ClydeMillerWynant Thank you. I missed the whole dimension that it can also vary by team (or any other partial content). MERP is quite obvious as soon as you know what it is :) I love these old magazines and sometimes flip through them for no reason other than pure inspiration.

@@honestminis9530 I think the first full on grimdark book was Realms of Chaos - Slaves to Darkness

@@gav-gf7crThank you! I will have to check that one out out of pure curiosity.

Absolutely. You don't play superheroes in WFRP like you do in D&D, just commoners scraping by.

@@yanhunt That is awesome to hear from someone who most likely know more than me :)

Look at the list of professions in WFRP and compare it to, say, D&D. Look at what spells a newbie mage knows in both settings. WH is absolutely gritty and down to earth.

@@baltanzoo Comparing to DnD and Lotr is a great way to get a point of reference! Unfortunately I cannot do that myself as I have close to zero DnD knowledge. I'm not an expert on Lotr either but I did read the books and even the Silmarillion. It was a while ago (20+ years) but as I recall there was certainly a sense of looming darkness but more in the form of a lurking ancient evil. All of it was on a more epic scale and not day to day grim life for normal people.

@@ComandaKronikk Thank you for your opinion. It is as valid as mine!

This is right - I got to know this setting through WFRP and it is absolutelly gritty and down to earth. Most professions are illiterate commoners trying to survive and your first concern while playing is to have enough food and not to catch pneumonia, instead of fighting dragons and such. I grew up on RPGs like that and I am totally not into D&D style of fantasy which is like a superhero story in a Renaissance fair pseudo-medieval setting. Nor relatable or emotional at all.

(And therefore 6th, notice how the warriors are still hunchback, but knights the more recognisable style)

@@nathanbuxton3271 Thank you! That means I was wrong :)

@@nathanbuxton3271 I think you're right. I figured it was beyond 6th because there were things I did not recognize but then I also dropped out at around 2000/2001.

@@patgray5402 I really like that era. As stated I was first a bit sceptical but obviously it was the thing that broke the resistance :)

@@trompell0 I don't know if you made it to the end but I thing we totally agree here! I think there has always been an element of grit and conversions but as you say it is better to sell your stuff if you clearly see what it is :)

The silver and black ink are acrylics but all other colors are oil colors. Specifically they are Beckers artist colors but that is just the brand I've found in my local art store. Abteilung 502 makes a good series often available in miniature hobby stores. For a very long time their base alteration set and it took me a very long way (ak-interactive.com/product/base-color-alteration-set-2/)

@@Svengar I did find complimentary skirmish rules in the back of the 6th edition WHF rules and it seems quite obvious that the same persons are involved 🙂

@@robertjokebr1480 I really can imagine that to be very fun. Reading the progression rules it seems to be a healthy base but it also seem to be just as much rolls on rolls and specific exceptions to specific exceptions as in the rest of the rules. It might not be that much of a problem when you actually use it. I should probably try it at some point to find out myself. I already have a plan for my own game but perhaps there are some things worth stealing 😁

@honestminis9530 back in the day we had lots of d6 tables or d66 tables. I think today we can use the multi sided die from rpg to makes this better. I was thinking on making an set of rules that the ST of the attack are measured by the number of sides of a die and the armor working the same. Like an mace rolling an d10 and the chainmail rolling an d8 to defend.

@robertjokebr1480 I prefer a (small) number of d6 as it gives a more interesting set of probabilites but different dx is certainly not a bad option!

That I did not know :) I have read the rules a few times and I get a vibe from Warhammer Fantasy but that might also be that I have no knowledge of Necromunda rules.

@honestminis9530 If you take the game mechanics from Necromunda and twist and turn it a bit, then you sprinkle fantasy vibes over everything and put it in the oven at 230°C for a few months and you get Mordheim. Unlike another game that also has a cult status and received some rules from Necromunda Gorkamorka, Mordheim actually did very well, considering how GW changed its whole way of thinking, fueled by various reasons

I vaguely recall some kind of game where I thought "why would anyone play this when you can wield an entire army?" Now I kick myself for not picking it up at the time :P

I personally dont know anything about Necromunda but I can say that very few of the current miniatures are of my interest.

For me. They should treat it like bloodbowl. The rules are something almost sacred that cannot be deviated. Add new miniatures and maybe some expansions that aren't obliged and you can have a very successeful product.

@@robertjokebr1480 they still deviated Blood Bowl quite a lot in the last edition, and some older teams are now redundant and unusable without buying new miniatures.

@robertjokebr1480 From what I can see there are a lot of specific rules and exceptions that would have to go to make a more slim/smooth/balanced game. But doing that would probably change so many things that it would be very hard to preserve the spirit of the game. I really like the idea of a non intrusive expansion!

@@Svengar It was a bit tricky to find a way to show the way there, not just where you end up but I'm pretty proud of the way I devised!

@@Svengar I have bought half of my oil colours in a regular art store. Not that I have many you can go really far with just the primaries. But a burnt umber and a buff is probably also a good shortcut.

@@honestminis9530 I think it paid off really nicely. It was a clear way to see how the colour was created

@@nicholashandy5964 That makes me very happy to know. Good luck!

Thank you for the feedback! There is no varnish at any point. The only situation where I imagine myslef using it would be if I find it important that some specific part should be less stained than parts around it.

@@honestminis9530 Awesome! Thank you for the response. Im little afraid to start oil washes, but I can always repaint those peasants :)

@@blackeye256 I have a handful of poor little skavens that I use as labrats in case I try something completely new. If you feel uncertain I suggest you find a true spare miniature and try on that one first. To build some confidence it could even be a good idea to try rubbing hard enough to actually damage the acrylic color. Then you will know where the limit is :)

@@Svengar Funny thing you should say that. You will see why in the next video :) In general i think that people are too afraid to mix stuff themselves.

@@Matt-md5yt I had no idea there was one! But it sounds fun and I do have warriors left :)

Awesome to hear! If I would give one price of advice along the way it would be to avoid using too much paint when doing oils that are not to be wiped off.

I really prefer the style of these but I just wish they would be modular like the old ones 😕 It sounds wise to finish the others first and stop should I!

@@honestminis9530 that is very true, if they were more modular with the similar pose that would have been perfect. Well if it was up to me I would suggest keep going 😂. I try to have some discipline but it can be hard not to just open my wallet lol. I am disciplined with painting though and stick with the one project at a time to ensure I have something I can use

That is a bit intimidating to hear. What if you're not happy with the result you might blame me for misleading you into spending money on oil paints 😆 Please keep in mind that by this point I've used oils in various ways for about two years and had less successful experiences along the way. But with that in mind it is awesome to hear that you have the curiosity to try!

@@honestminis9530 don't worry, I was going to get them anyway for washes. I just hadn't realized how much utility they could provide.
