I really enjoyed this video. We are seeing too much of reality TV seep into the hobby with 24 hour challenges, paint one mini in 1 hour etc. This was a breath of fresh air to remind us of why we love the hobby and set unrealistic goals sometimes. The best part for me was that y'all were happy with what you've done at the end which is the most important part. Love the paint schemes and great editing!!!

[@BroadswordWargaming]

I totally agree! It just isn't a realistic target for people (myself included), and I think it can make people feel a little down about their own progress. I've tried (and failed) at loads of 24-hour videos because life often gets in the way, and that is ok! 😀 also, thanks for the kind words!

[@whalesequence]

Yeah, I had to tell myself that it'll take 2 or 3 sittings for me to finish one scarab occult terminator, thought I'd have the whole squad painted in a couple days🤣

[@thekkidd3d]

So, I've really enjoyed the old Squidmar challenge vids where he had friends over and jammed some crazy challenges. That said, I 💯 % agree that it was really refreshing to see this natural , honest, take on painting and building some minis. I'm a bit inspired by it. Thank you for making it. This is the first vid I've seen from BW, but it got my subscription, I look forward to more. Hopefully, an update when finished?

[@jakeg3733]

I can paint 666 minis in under 15 minutes which means I'm a better person than you!

[@wrantheim6777]

I couldn't bring myself to rush through painting a miniature like in these challenges. Far too stressful for something that i love to sink my concentration in.

[@pointandshootvideo]

The Tyranid color scheme turned out amazingly good. I was pleasantly surprised. Well-done!

[@nathandanner4030]

IMO it's actually hard to screw up Tyranids.

[@Shark59809]

@@nathandanner4030 I managed to mess them up.

[@ancientgraybear]

Having seen the Nids in the Broadsword shop last week, the colour scheme and the bases are class. Well done to you both, it is a commitment to bang out these big boxes to a deadline. Can't wait to tackle these myself.

[@caitlynwarrington8690]

Nice job on all of the figures, ESPECIALLY given all of the store/family/editing you had to accomplish as well! Grats you two!

[@jimholmes4729]

Thank you for the realistic approach to painting. I always appreciate that both of you speak to the importance of your lives away from the painting table, too.

[@hypras]

The Tyranid color scheme turned out really good!

[@BroadswordWargaming]

Thanks! I really wasn't sure about it (as I had several schemes I liked), but it looked alright in the end! Just a few more to do too.

[@frankcastle9691]

It did?

[@joshmortimer3433]

Always love your videos and the authenticity of them. Was good to see the new boxset painted aswell, those space marine sculpts have come along way since my first set in the 90s. keep up the great vids both and thank you for sharing.

[@jmc7034]

Great team work with excellent results. Both armies are going to be amazing when fully done

[@jamespratt7526]

It’s weird how Ciara has a distinct Irish accent generally and I think nothing of it but I also got to that same exact phrase and thought “omg that’s the Irishest anybody has ever been” 😂

Cringe comment 🤢

[@THEMEOWBALLS]

This video is honestly so amazing it helps show people that it really does take more time than you think especially for new beginners, I currently work 24/7 so finding time to just paint is very difficult especially when one mini can take me 5-6 hours. Everyone has their own pace and this video helps bring that to light.

[@deez3913]

Lol really, 24/7!!! Impossible but nice hyperbole.

[@kevinmorbidthelostcronin1984]

About 10 years ago, I decided to repaint my 200+ Tyranids. They were still in the original color schemes, with some in orange and others in blue/purple, with the skill of someone who had been painting for a couple of days. I decided I wanted one swarm scheme too. But ... I had four kids and a wife. My hobbies were always placed at the bottom of the pile (and 40K is expensive). So, I decided to share color schemes between my Tyranids and Space Marines (Imperial Fists). Boltgun for bone, Yellow for skin, and blood red for exposed muscles. This combo was easy to paint and cheap. It was much, much faster than my old schemes. Add a black wash and some white highlights and it is quick, easy, and cheap. Thus, I completed my Hive Fleet Maelstrom. :) Of course, part of the speed did come from painting the same layers on piece after piece. By the time I finished one layer, the first pieces were dry and I could start on the next layer.

[@222LoneWolf]

I'm planning on doing a Starcraft Zerg-style scheme for my first Tyranids, and this gave me some great ideas for how to do the purples and greens. Awesome job!

[@uwesca6263]

Great scheme! Now add some votanns for a great diorama :D

[@Banjoe_031]

Great work guys. Super keen to get my box in a couple weeks

[@LogisticAtom]

Looks class! All ways so impressed by the quality and detail you put in! Good job

[@alex-c7567]

Amazing job! Personally I am a fan of taking my time on miniatures, it is fun and relaxing to slowly paint things up.

[@BroadswordWargaming]

Thanks! I agree, we should enjoy the process, it's a hobby after all! :)

[@Jtibbs91]

I'm new to painting and building Warhammer, and have fortunately managed to get a Leviathan box. I really appreciate this video. Thank you.

[@thehonestaspy102]

It's so nice to see an honest video on how long it really takes to paint a model! You should both be proud as your paintjobs are excellent 😊

[@B__C__]

Lovely jobs! Love the Flesh Tearers results, and the light-armored 'nids, however I think I kinda like them on the dark slate city rubble bases sans the snow effects. It makes their brighter color scheme pop a bit more I think. Still two thumbs up. 👍👍

[@danielbear9183]

Ciara's paint has come such a long way. Keep up the great work.

[@BrianAndrews73]

Nice video, I'm still painting mine. One recommendation I would make with this box is to just do the combat patrols first. Yes the big screamer killer is lovely but it's not part of the combat patrol so leave it until later. That way you feel like you are achieving something cohesive sooner, although I am breaking up the Termagants into t20 chunks and painting something more exiting in-between.

[@gurtana]

I think you are both excellent painters. Great work.

[@TTThellish]

I'm inspired! Fun to watch and motivating... thanks guys.

[@leejamesburns]

Great vid guys, two excellent looking armies!

[@GrayPrimer]

Great video you two, and the minis are looking deadly. Nice to see Flesh Tearers in a video as well!

Guys please look after your lungs, rattle cans indoors with no mask is not good long term. Love the vid

[@lscales6131]

Exactly!! Even an open windows with a box fan going out would be better than nothing.

[@erikmann3640]

I've been using rattle cans for decades and while long term use in confined spaces is not good for you, once or twice in four months isn't going to do one in.

[@cptgunni5319]

I’ve noticed that in their videos pray their health stays well 🙏

[@ThatGuy-bh9qh]

Huffing paint and glue is like half the reason I buy models though

[@BlazeIgnis]

For real I thought that was a joke. What normal person uses rattle can inside? And where is the mask? Even outside you should use one when spraying.

[@anthonywaggett9317]

Ciara's faces are amazing, I know you did a video on faces once before but please can we see another, her painting skill has come on amazingly since her first mini. And your stuff is good as well Oliver🤣

[@TremorBoria]

Cool video man, I like the colour schemes. Very neat! I felt like this video didn't have enough views for the amount of work you put in and I thought maybe this one comment would tip the algorithm scales lol.

[@BroadswordWargaming]

Haha, thanks so much! All the support is appreciated. Glad you like the colours, I wasn't sure, but I like them now. 😀

Great video. I like the nid scheme, looks cool. Going for true 90s red/bone for mine, with the marines naturally being Dark Angels 😎 #ForTheLion

[@roadgoeseveron7128]

you,re to harsh with yourself, i think its a fun easy scheme that fits really well in the snow! before you said you used snow bases, i wanted to comment that they loo like they evolved to hunt in the tundra, kinda like snowy dinosaurs - esque... i would be proud and happy to play games with these. fun video - and "dont pressure yourself " is always good advice

[@pawelp90]

amazing models and paintjob!

[@wolfarmageddon]

Cool! Great job all around

[@DatOldeBiker]

Thanks guys, very nice work. I appreciate the "different" scheme on the Tyranids and the only thing to improve the Marines would be if they were Blood Angels lol. :>)

[@Godmil]

I'm really respecting a painting video that acknowledges that people don't always have time to get much done.

[@pytle]

"I'm not doing a second take its hot in here" - too funny I love it!

[@Spinksickles]

I think the most important thing to say to a newbie is that it really doesn't take long, as scary as it looks, the paints especially the shade paints really do bring out the model so it looks fantastic with little effort.

[@davidmckay335]

I enjoyed this video! For the snow effect did you just brush water on then sprinkle on the snow? Does it stay stuck do you need to spray sealant or something on afterwards?

[@fedemotta3]

Love the video!

[@ollielane656]

They look great, wish i could highlight like that.

[@kosachilles2504]

Great video!

[@frederickgleicher1385]

the models do look good ! Now what would you do differently if you had extra time ? Also what if anything would you add to each force from your backlog of models ? I am thinking getting that pile of 'shame' (possibility ?) down.

[@OnyxANZ]

I... kind of really like tyranids with a white carapace. I haven't even started collecting yet, and when I do I plan on getting CSM.. but weirdly nids look fun to paint.

[@ranulfwulfric6595]

Awesome job, Thank you

[@BroadswordWargaming]

Thanks for watching!

[@audiohacked]

Great Job on both armies! Also, relationship goals!

[@BroadswordWargaming]

Thanks! Yeah, it's good to have a painting buddy, and it's even better to help each other out when one gets bored of a particular stage.

[@Trim01]

Question! Have you ever tried using Crayola's air brush kit? Im just asking, because not all have the resources for a pro airbrush kit. Would be interesting to see if it's up to standard ❓

[@morridin8]

loving the snow bases!

[@MentoliptusBanko]

Very nice video! The marines are awesome. The tyranids look good, but they lack some colour on the carapace....but that is just me because I really like colorful armies.

[@BroadswordWargaming]

Thanks! Yeah, I'm not a fan of colourful Tyranids myself. The schemes I liked both had pretty flat, glossy carapaces. I've seen some awesome colourful ones though! :)

[@infectedarmour9649]

so i have a nid army, and well... it took me i wanna say close to 2 weeks to paint as well, tho i didnt have the leviathan box, i had the combat patrol starter box... fair note i did partially start my blood angels, as i wont be using the space marine combat patrol, as stat wise, they feel.... bad.... idk... but yeah... it definately takes time, and the more time you spend the better they can turn out. i recommend you ask around at your local hobby shop that sells 40k sets and stuff, find the experienced painters and ask for help. my first minis painted were geller pox infected kill team, and they turned out really well for a first time painting, but after getting that brush work experience, and learning tips and tricks from other painters, my nids turned out way better than if i just went along with what i learned strictly from the gellerpox, ie i wouldnt have the edge highlights on the armour plates, i never wouldve washed them with the right shade if at all, the only reason i washed the geller pox was to sickify them with a green overtone... so yeah... all in all, dont be afraid to try new things, and always reach out to those around you with more time doing what you find interesting to get a better understanding of what your doing. also while i do agree, having a base line for what you want in the end, dont be afraid to tweak it mid project if you like something else... my marines changed lke 3 times and are probably going to change a bit more before i finish them lol

[@napalmmachete]

I love the cooperation and distribution of labour based on who likes or dislikes various tasks. It's very much how my fiancée and I get chores done :)

[@BroadswordWargaming]

Yeah, it's actually really useful for miniature painting. We painted the HH box together and learned to help each other out with that too. Like yourselves, we are the same around the house! It's good, communication and being able to tell when someone is fed up, is good haha

Never painted before, don’t even have a set. I’m slowly getting into Warhammer for obvious reasons, the universe is sick. Was just curious if there’s a Skaven set to paint? I really love those guys!

[@BroadswordWargaming]

Hey! welcome to the hobby. Yeah, you can get yourself a Skaven Vanguard set from Age of Sigmar. That has loads of cool stuff in and is a great set to pick up. You can also grab one of the Paint and Tool sets for Age of Sigmar, they're really good value and give you a good set of paints and tools to start wtih. :)

[@bellgrand]

That UHU glue idea is pretty cool actually

[@D00M3R_MAVS]

takes me like 1-3 hours, sometimes more per model just to prep and assemble... before any painting. I have seirous OCD when it comes to removing mould lines xD I take them off with a medal edge, similar to the mould line remover from gw... Then I'll come back with various grits of sandpaper and smooth everything down.

[@asenaruu8361]

I semi assemble parts and paint them separately. Is that optimal?

[@clawhammr666]

Almost a breath of fresh air of someone painting in a realistic time. First thing that came to my mind GW: releases something pretty big Squidmar: We're staying up 24 hours to paint it now! ... alrighty

[@adammoore251]

Tyranids have to be the hardest army to pick a paint scheme for. I've always wanted a black Xenomorph Hive.

[@JKRavenBlood]

I did just that. For some colour i have added a various dark purple simply for variation. Otherwise i would have play reaeal hard at the black-grey shading. Its still pretty cool though :)

[@goggler2]

If you are me, then you decide to paint a box of 10 sisters aka space nuns and I'm about 3-4 weeks in after buying the battle box thing, and I have the nun squad only mostly pained to a reasonable standard (for me) and no heads completed yet (due to eyes needing me to be a freaking robot with microscopes for eyes and the hands of a fluffy neuro surgeon.) I will get there, looking forward to the flying nuns, but yeah a battle box is likely to take me about 6 months lol, at least.
