Accomplishing a LIFE LONG Hobby Goal

[@ionminiatures]

“I’d rather educate the next slayer sword winner, than do stuff that keeps people around.” And that is EXACTLY the reason I keep coming back to your channel.

[@thomasdenham1467]

Man as someone who just finished a 2000 point deathwatch army I get this feeling.

[@MikeGeney]

You worked so hard on these. It's very cool to see you finally finished!

[@liqerise]

nice how you show of what army painting probably actually looks like for most people. A long learning process with probably a lot of experiments, improvements and oddities along the way. and most of all; varying sources of minis

[@yellowbellytabletop]

Well done Scott. Awesome work. Completing any project is never trivial. 10 man warband for a skirmish game, 200 model fantasy army or a single mini entry for a painting competition; all are achievements to be rightly proud of.

[@oliveralbon3990]

Still chasing this goal, can't stop myself starting new armies!

[@random_fem1041]

too true

[@nadukkerensky392]

good chance thats just a crutch you have mentally developed to avoid something you cant handle like batch painting if you can identify that block, you can find a better way around it and get finished armies then start new ones , which feels so much better for me it was batch painting, i switched to doing 1-3 models at a time during painting, the leaps in progress kept me inspired as each session always saw at least 1 model finished

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Congratulations Scott! What a beautiful army. You should be very proud, its absolutely gorgeous!

[@TylerProvick]

Finishing an army is a huge accomplishment and puts you into a new category: someone who has finished an army. The reason so many people haven't finished their armies is because to many it feels out of reach, they've never done it so they don't believe that they can. They've been working on their army soo long it feels like an impossible task and the thought of finishing a second army is a fever dream. I expect now that you are someone who has finished an army you will find your ability to focus on a single project until it is complete improves. You know you can do it. I hope your video inspires other people to finish their own armies.

[@Odin_All-Father]

Congratulations man! Don't let anyone ever say it's a trivial accomplishment. It's a spectacular army.

[@ericjamali4865]

I’ve been watching the channel for about four years now and I’m glad I could be around to see you get there. I even put my brush down to rewatch you paint that base rim. Cheers.

[@utahgeoff]

Sweet montage at the end. You spent all that time painting it, it was nice to spend a good chunk of time admiring it.

[@sigismundlee389]

Great job, bro. Army painting is its own classification of skill and the gratifying sense of completion is truly addictive especially for those of us who are more gaming centric of the hobby to rock an event with a newly finished army for a competitive season or two...or just even to tilt friends at the gaming table.

[@oscarnurmi8082]

This made me genuinely happy for you Scott! Good job. I remember when i painted my first army ( death guard ) and all those things that you said about knowing how much ballsack to put into each mini when army painting is ringing very true. One should not underestimate how good a decently painted number of models next to each other look.

[@Samm22197]

You know, fair play man. Watching those final few minutes of the video with your whole army together looked absolutely brilliant. I can only imagine how good it must of felt seeing it all come together and I like to think you had a big old grin on whilst placing all your models together for the first time. As someone who also struggles to finish big projects like this I hope you enjoy your finished army and well done!

[@shaunkrogulski9619]

Great work! I have a wall of potential/shame that I am hoping to get cracking on. I have always struggled with the perfectionist in me for how many of the details truly need to be painted. I won't say that that watching you on twitch has solved that for me, but it has helped. I really appreciate all that you contribute to this hobby, thank you!

[@PaulyC1989]

Congratulations man. Been following your work for years now and it’s so great to see you reach a personal hobby goal that’s so meaningful for you. The army looks gorgeous. Those reds be popppppinnnnnn! Juicy AF

[@Wolfie21384]

The army looks amazing and as always I appreciate your insights on the process and the view into your world. Keep on being magnificent. 🎉

[@lordcommanderminis]

Absolutely great. They really look fantastic together on the table. Thanks for sharing.

[@Ginoitaliano]

Been watching your content since your very first videos, your slightly awkward priming and basecoating episodes etc - and as someone that's followed you those 7 years, I am so happy for you, to see you realise this goal! 🥰Cannot congratulate you enough, I can only hope to follow suit! 😊

[@lordbaconbane6145]

Congrats on finishing your army! I've been collecting Seraphon for 6 years now and have around 4k painted. Picked up another 1.5k recently and got to paint that. Let's goooo

[@jakec5550]

Been painting (badly) for over 25 years, and I can say congratulations. I think this is always a good milestone in any painting hobby goals. Great vid! Thanks.

[@RhodriKneath]

Congratulations on the achievement. I painted 4 army's and my dark angel arm is always growing I learnt alot for KZbinrs such as you and John and one the main things I taken away was the fact of the minis are on a table 4-5 ft away not a few inches from my face so this allows me to be a little sloppy but when the arms on the table boy do they look good. So well done. Ps love the fact you still have the Pokémon water pot it's a throw back to your early days

[@nicolaso921]

One of your best vidéos in a while! I love how you turn a story into a painting session, plus your detailed narration of how you progress just flows all along! Good job Scott!

[@kierianpearson4184]

Congrats Scott. I have been working on my own army and all your videos inspire me to continue through the grind

[@wittlegoblin]

Congratulations, they look beautiful! Also, vampires are the best- you love to see it.

[@MetalKingStudio]

Great work, Scott. It’s great to achieve that hobby dream. And I think it’s even cooler to set an example that it’s never too late to unlock an achievement. Too many folks are stuck with half done projects and feel like it’s a missed opportunity instead of realizing they just needed to paint vampires instead.

[@Miniac]

That's a great reminder

[@paulkaralus6400]

Congrats, Scott. What an awesome accomplishment with a beautiful looking army. Last year, I experienced the same thing when I completed a 2k Sylvaneth army. It almost felt like joining an exclusive club.

[@erikbraun473]

Finishing an army is an amazing feeling. Congrats on a huge milestone!!!

[@nickcosta3004]

Scott, not only is your content consistently great, but the composition and editing just continues to rock and your videos are continually fantastic! thanks so much!!!

[@colourful_soldiers]

Painting a full army to a universally high quality standard really is a major accomplishment. There is nothing trivial about the dedication and effort it takes to pull this off. Congrats! 🎉

[@Lyndon2606]

Looks amazing. Congrats mate. And to be able to look down at the tabletop every game and see everything complete is incredible.

[@DFDragoon]

Congratulations on completing the full army paint job! Excellent work, wonderful overall scheme and technique. It's inspiring and makes me want to get my own vampires going. But also inspires me to complete my other armies at the same time haha. Thank you for all of your work and content. Sincerely appreciate it. Have a good one!

[@thekrispiestkreme5609]

I took in that I’ve been playing 40K for about 5 years…with about 4 armies done fully painted and at least 1-2 centrepiece models in the army. Looking at each of these armies and minis is like a showcase for everything I’ve done, and learned in the hobby. Never appreciated how much effort went into these and I’m glad I was able to do these

[@clawhammr666]

Congrats on the fully painted army, I've done this hobby for like 15 years or something, I still haven't had a fully painted one either, maybe focus a lot on few, then barely sprayed others (and not based half of 'em). This looks great!

[@lolaldanee2743]

Congratz Scott. It is no small feet to paint so many figures This video is exactly the type of content i like too see most from you btw ❤

[@brainstorm8778]

Enjoyed this video, how you feel resonates and watching your project over the years echoes so much of my own armies. Do more like this, they’re my favourite :)

[@gomezzara_creative]

Freaking amazing ! There is no better feel to have a project completed! 🎉🎉🎉 Great Job papa!

[@001Hatsune]

WOOH!! So happy for you dude! I haven’t personally reached this milestone yet but I’m hoping to one day!! Amazing work though, you’re such an inspiration!!

[@bakamaru3867]

Been excited to this finished. Whole thing looks amazing Scott, well done! Great vid as always.

[@aceusmusic2168]

Your “educate first” and “content creator second” philosophy IS what keeps people around and we love you for it bro.

[@mightymax1337]

Your army is amazing! I especially love the different, detailed banners and I imagine they come together from different legions and dynasties to fight a mutual enemy. This video makes me want to expand my little sbg warcry warband to a full aos army.

[@kookieslayer]

Congrats! Seeing your slow progress on this army over the last couple years as been inspiring. Truly an amazing result too! I need to finish my first army this year... it's been about 20 years in the hobby for me too and I have yet to do it.

[@tuskam]

Awesome! I have the same proxy planned and the models are awesome, but same as you I'm struggling with the supports and print fails. I'll be probably painting the a little bit darker but this really motivated me to finish it!

[@chatters02]

Congrats Scott!, Its shocking to see how many of these models I've seen you paint over the years in one off videos. Freakin amazing

[@Daydam]

Man, this video is so inspiring. Thanks for sharing this whole project with us, and great job on the army, it looks super good!

[@gutsytoadsage6497]

This is a masterclass on red armor. Great choice on the models and color scheme, Scott! Never stop doing what your doing.

[@thanquolslair]

Nice :) always a good feeling to finish something And cool to see my old vc bits i send you have been used! And have a cool spot in the project 🥰

[@ObsidianCrane]

Congrats on finishing! It's always a great feeling to have an army done. Now all you need to do is paint some more units to expand your options! :)

[@grim1192]

I can feel this my self on both sides of getting a army finished and still having one that needs to be finished. And this isn't just 40k but multiple other games as well.

[@DrNorbertGames]

Congratulations! You must be well pleased with this accomplishment. Enjoy using them on the table.

[@joshuwaaagh]

Huge achievement. Well done Scott! That red is banging.

[@cakalafatides]

Wow Scott, you finally did it and it’s beautiful. Congratulations!

[@timstinies9519]

I have to say, your video production is also something to be proud of. Very very well produced content. I used to be a pro stunt man and I work for a digital marketing company now so just had to point that out since that’s what I picked up on.

[@doomdog797]

Crazy how we are all so different. 2 years and 4 fully painted armies. However I get the disctractijns that happen.😊 Your army looks amazing. I hope to see it played soon

[@Trugow]

Gorgeous! I've painted a ton of models for my sbg army, but still use the occasional grey units to play. You've inspired me to step it up!

[@steverogers3696]

Enjoyed this video alot man - as someone who has several painted armies and many friends who have none, it is definitely a skill to be able to see through a project to completion, even if it waxes and wanes throughout the year(s)

[@adiebland9220]

Another fantastic Vid Scott. Your presentation is so professional, informative and packed full of little helpful tips, Keep up the good work. We your loyal fans salute you.

[@chicagohobbyhero]

Congrats on the full army! Know how great that first feeling is

[@jeffreypace89]

Congrats on having what few do. Well painted, and well earned.

[@madnessbydesignVria]

Congrats! You have completed your army - today, you are a man... :)

[@52Miniatures]

Lovely. Congratulations on the army. That oil wash gave me a familiar warm and fuzzy feeling inside.

[@brokenheroics8223]

Phenomenal work. Thanks for letting us be a part of the journey, bro.

[@Gooch359]

Im happy for you to finally have your own painted army! I have Death Guard, Necron, Blood Angels and Sons of Behemat fully painted but this was a long process with 30min hear or there between work, sleep and spending time with my wife. Its not an easy process but iv found my way and it works for me. I need to catch up on your vods!

[@wernerfaaij]

Look cool man. Congrats with completing you first fully painted army😊

[@timyoung487]

Congratulations amazingly painted army! Think you've raised the bar and damn it looks so impressive. Could hear the joy in the video when you said 'completed'.

[@traiantulbure3819]

Congratulations! Some people seem to find panting an army easy, but I’ve struggled. I appreciate your honesty in this regard. It looks fantastic and I feel more motivated to continue mine.

[@wakephillips]

Love it. Your Grave Guard fit really well with your other models too.

[@Gogking1414]

What an epic reveal. Congrats Scott!

[@yeahnah3erter]

Another way to make a unit of foot vampires is to convert from dark elf kits such as executioners.

[@jellysandjamz250]

Hey man, I’m proud of you. Super rad you got this done

[@meltabombed]

Congrats Scott! This has been a huge project for you and I've enjoyed coming along for the ride. What an achievement! You should be very proud of all the time and effort that's gone into it! It's not bad looking either ;) Looking forward to seeing what you pick up next! Love ya buddy

[@wesleymatthews390]

Fantastic accomplishment!!! It's been a hell of a journey watching all this with you, and I hope the sense of achievement you have gives you the warm fuzzies! =D Cheers from Melbourne Australia

[@simon2028]

Following your progress on this army throughout the years, I'm so happy for you 🎉 it looks sooo good

[@Tykepaints]

Well done Scott! It may seem trivial to some but anyone who’s ever invested this much of their time, effort and some of themselves into such a process will get what an accomplishment it really is. Awesome looking army, truly stunning 🤘

[@fatmaru]

The army looks really good together!

[@worm1618]

For flatter panels that have been oil washed, I like to use a flat brush to feather out the paint and create a smooth transition. You're not limited to cotton buds, you can use your brushes too for more precision.

[@foxtrot2824]

Congrats on finishing the army! They look great, certainly an army to be proud of. I’m about to finish my FEC army - maybe our forces will meet on the battlefield in the cities one day. 🤘

[@sulmenite6938]

What an awesome army! Everyone has different goals in this hobby and how great that you could tick this challenge off for yourself.

[@kennethmcgary3224]

Congratulations, that’s such an awesome accomplishment! Looks absolutely epic!

[@megoface]

Feels good to achieve such a big goal! So happy to see many cool vamps)

[@rileyraccoon9673]

In my opinion this is the most satisfying part of the hobby. Such a great feeling!

[@bitzbox]

Congrats on finishing your fully painted army. They look absolutely stunning

[@dahouilish4225]

THANK YOU ! I've been telling guys from Last Sword minis that their supports where absolutely not adapted for personal use. I fact it is their pro support that they graciously give to Patreons. But man, if I have to be a pro printer to print what the point ahah ! Anyway, well done for this project, it surely is a dream of mine too !

[@FerreusVir]

This was nothing short of great, Scott. Something like this could never be trivial, well done.

[@SeppukoGaming]

Great job and a lot of props for finishing that army , Scott. You got me inspired to start my own Soulblight gravelords Army and leeching some of that big boy finished army energy. I hope I can keep going strong. I know the feeling of having a finished army, as I had some WHFB armies myself. I can't wait for the recap of the "Northern Conquerors" and hope there will be a season 2. That stuff keeps me entertained while I bingewatch it on the backlog channel during painting sessions

[@davidstromberg1628]

I really enjoy watching the progress over an army! Keep doing what you do! You always give me a good laugh and good tips! 😁🤘

[@MagicalPebble]

Army looks so fantastic, congrats man, happy for ya!

[@maulcrusader7106]

Congrats on finishing the army dude! Looks incredible and very unique.

[@normalguygames]

It's a great feeling! I just recently finished a Thousand Sons army up. It was glorious!

[@tescomealdealz]

This has inspired me not only to start back up on focusing on my AoS ork army and finally finish it (especially if I'm getting the new 'ardboyz), and also clean up my painting station. Honestly a great video with some great techniques. Going to take the advice from this video and Jon's SMASH CHOP technique to finally finish an army!

[@daemoncline6571]

Congrats! Seeing it all together is pretty amazing, considering the level of detail you put into these models and the painting process.

[@michaelbrand1173]

congrats. Vampires are so cool and you painted them awesome!

[@c1v1c2v2]

Congrats! It's great to see people achieve a goal they've previously struggled to achieve.

[@Marshal976]

Well done! Nothing trivial about finishing painting an army!!

[@jayrobert3535]

Absolutely amazing! Congrats on the achievement!

[@mindlasher]

Congratulations on finishing an army. It looks great.

[@ExTaiga]

Scott this army looks absolutely wicked (both evil and cool), awesome that you've finally completed such a longstanding hobby goal of yours! can't wait tto see the next army you complete ;) lol

[@DehDrowing]

This is such a awesome accomplishment, each unit is different but together they all look amazing, its a feat to make a cohesive army out of old, new, official, kitbashed and printed models and make it look this good

[@ten01_labs]

Awesome result! Congratulation! I really love your idea of the different blue stripes for the ranking. This makes it more interesting to have a more detailed look at each of them.

[@ChristopherDessens]

He's finally done it, he's painted more minis!
