Can we paint Warhammer Cursed City in a day?

[@BroadswordWargaming]

What an awesome box of miniatures! We had a good time filming this, did you enjoy this style of video? If so, do check out www.patreon.com/broadswordwargaming if you want to support the channel.. you get access to a Discord and lots of other bonuses! 😀

[@GoobertownHobbies]

Solid effort, team! Celebrate and treat yourself to some nice chairs ;-)

[@BroadswordWargaming]

Thanks man! 😀 Broke the back of the box, so now we can relax and enjoy painting the rest. COMFY CHAIRS INCOMING. 😊

[@theanimaster]

Anyone know if the Herman Miller Aeon is worth it? Because I got a knockoff and found that my dining room chair is still more versatile in that I can get into a “proper” upright sitting position or even sit on it like I would a bar stool. The worst part for me is circulation in my thighs getting cut off from the leading edge of the cushion.

[@geronimo8159]

"sitting up straight is advisable when painting..." *continues crouching like a ghoul* :D :D :D

[@BroadswordWargaming]

Haha yeah. The tables and chairs aren't at a good height at the studio.. not yet anyway. 😃

[@RichBeaden]

Something that is rarely talked about is how important posture is while painting, hobbying and playing. I’ve done a few tournaments where by the end of the day I could barely stand up because of my back

[@BroadswordWargaming]

Agreed! I thought it was relevant to talk about, as you can see that the chairs and table aren't correctly matched here, which is not good for your back.

[@AxelAllieu]

What a session! Highly motivating! Ollie, look at your posture while painting and compare with Ciara's posture: you will kill your back! Congratulations. 👍

[@ChezzyKennedy]

Great effort. I've been painting my models for a week and have only done 2 models. Jelson and Elmelda, Almost done with the big chap but not quite.

Now OOP and not coming back, so well done GW you just made the scalpers very happy.

[@davedogge2280]

@@Subcomandante73 very strange if that's what they are doing, I thought it was going to be the base game for a new product line with expansions like Black Fortress. I mean WH Quest Silver Tower didn't sell out first day and they did a few expansions and extras for that game...

[@e.mailissimo2146]

@@davedogge2280 Nah, it isn't OOP, it will come back, its just a matter of time as GW is pretty slow these days...

[@davedogge2280]

@@e.mailissimo2146 interesting thing I have just remembered from a few years ago regarding GW and launch boxes 'disappearing' from the store. Back when WH Quest Silver Tower was launched it had slow sales, the main box came out and it was on the store for a couple of years and then the second big box for Silver Tower named 'Shadows Over Hammerhal' (the red box) was released; this box lingered on the store for 13 months or so and then just disappeared. Then covertly around 8 months later the 'Shadows Over Hammerhal' suddenly reappeared on the GW website for sale, there was no promotion for a re-launch, nothing (the original WH Quest Silver Tower and all the extras weren't on the GW site no more. Then 4 months later the boxes sold out and it was gone forever. GW is a strange old thing when it comes to stock availability and stock availability transparency and also product life time.

[@spyder335]

@@e.mailissimo2146 Talking to my local GW store manager he has been told at this time there are no plans on releasing it again and it has been sold out worldwide as far as preorder stock, finding one at a store or online is really the only option. It is unlikely they will make more as manufacturing is all controlled by a very strict release schedule, if they switch production to make more cursed city it pushes all upcoming releases back, also they love the artificial scarcity, it means when they release the next box game or limited release it will fly off the shelves as people dont want to miss out.

[@rodneyr5266]

Better chairs and a good plan with color schemes would have probably gotten farther, although I am not a fast painter. Good attempt though and what is done looks awesome!

[@ancientgraybear]

The Black Armour on the skellies really works with the red capes.

😂

Haha, this could be the one.. oh. 😅 Thanks man. The models are so good, genuinely some of the best GW ones we've had for ages. What a set.

[@buffman85]

Great to see you guys painting again. great models by the way.

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

Great video. Hopefully you do more with this set like play a game of it to demo. Looking forward to the next video. Keep up the good work.

[@BroadswordWargaming]

I think we might, that was certainly the plan. Will see how things go..unfortunately, this game ruffled a lot of feathers so not sure on the interest in it atm. But the models are lovely.

[@Not_Quite_Dead]

As a slow painter, this was really interesting to watch. Thanks for sharing! The models of this game are great!

[@OriginPainting]

That's some dedication. I was really surprised to see you weren't in more comfortable chairs as well.

[@justinchristopher8974]

Just picked it up today. Looking forward to start working on it.

[@BroadswordWargaming]

Nice! The models are beautiful, you'll have fun with it. 😀 honestly, some of the best gw miniatures around at the moment.

[@brucetelford7681]

ah good effort guys! looks like an opporunity to get some friends around, beer and a paint party!

[@JackRabbit002]

You should never rush painting! That's why I never get nothing finished though in all honesty.

[@BroadswordWargaming]

Haha, I physically can't rush them. The models are too good and I'm far too much of a perfectionist to truly speed paint. 😅 I use these videos as a way of dedicating some time to a project, then finishing it later. 😀

[@MSPaints]

I always blame the chair for hobby spine. Lying down on the floor always fixes - and lying on the floor means i usually find that tiny model kit part i lost 6 months previous. Nice work guys!

[@BroadswordWargaming]

Haha, thanks man! Yeah, it's the best time to hunt for those missing bits. 😅

[@dorgrim]

A for effort! I have mine still gray. Blackstone took me 3 days when I tried powering through it, so I'm intimidated by this set.

[@nessa-parmentier]

I read the title and almost said "no you can't" out loud. But you made some progress and painted together. Holy crap I miss painting with other people ^^

[@spyder335]

Just finished putting the box together, every model in this box is great in some way, wish I was a death player so I could use them in regular games.

[@nstalkie]

Usually when i see other painters take on challenges like this, they don't take basing and zenithal priming as a part of the challenge itself. For some incredible speed painting check out vince venturellas army in 24 hours / army in a week videos if you haven't already! You got a good start on painting this project. You don't take enough shortcuts in order to achieve the challenge, but hey the stuff you both painted looks great! I loved the skeleton you posted up. Makes me want to paint some myself!

[@TheSnake328]

Really enjoy watching your challenge videos, thanks for sharing!

[@BroadswordWargaming]

[@Jonas_Fox]

This was pretty helpful for setting my expectations. I just got my reprint box. Using your example, I think I'll glue, prime, and zenithal everything in a batch, then take my time one model at a time as I play the game. I''m not sure how you guys survived hunched over with no back support. It takes different chairs and an adjustable desk for me.

[@angelicdespot2735]

Well done. You made very good progress anyway and it was a fun video.

[@athollmcnicoll256]

Ciara : I'd say a decent chair to sit upon and more of a straight back and considering its your first mammoth attempt - you did an excellent job, so pat on the back or how about a nice soothing soak with a glass of red and before you know it the water will be cold and you will wake from a demanding sleep, while Olly does what he normally does best, paints at his own speed.

If this was not two 12 hours painting sessions then you have not totaled 24 hours each of painting so you still could do it. Well that is how I'm looking at this challenge for the both of you... so maybe go into the second session with a little bit of a better plan. I have faith in the both of you being able to finish it off with a planned out second 12 hours session. You can do it!

[@BroadswordWargaming]

Haha. I'd have carried on, but ciara was done. 🤣 Agreed though, this is not a true challenge.

[@U2QuoZepplin]

Seeing these models for the first time i suddenly want this set ! Cursed City looks like a nice set. I'll have to examine how it works out value for money wise. I'm noticing that you don't get many space marines in the new starter sets for Warhammer 40'K.

[@PowerPilgrim]

Valiant effort guys. Definitely broke the back of that workload.

What worked for you two, what didn't? It's all a fun learning experience especially with a hansom young man and a beautiful lass. I work for 30 min and take a five minute break, over and over till the painting is done or I am. Spend some money on better chairs, that helps more than you realize. Keep up the great work!
