Thumbs up for watching Grubby

[@SacredGrunty]

The Scott v Jay Dark Eldar video series has been my favorite this year

[@georgewright9223]

Same here haha!! Let's go Scott and Jay!

[@helios7170]

Same! More content like this, please. Maybe next year Ninjon could get involved.

[@noble.cyborg.savage]

It's genuinely something to look forward to

[@Birdmanesp92]

Props to mixing the B footage with the ad space. Kept me listening, not skipping

[@jpap676]

Taking notes from Squidmar ;)

[@Smooth_Lime_Nine]

I completely agree, while it was rolling I realised. I also liked the intro being delivered while getting ready to paint, there’s an avenue for gentle comedy there if it becomes a regular thing; I can imagine tiny Easter eggs for the video/ sponsor and the odds reenactment of a mistake made or an accident while getting ready.

[@BrandoCalrizzien]

Yeah, this. Big fan

[@johncleary6599]

Hell yeah. Just a good ole painting video about how you painted, what you tried, what worked, what didn't, and how you adapted. This is what I'm here for. This is what inspires me to keep picking up my brush instead of doing something else. Another great video, Scott.

[@vonhelson1471]

Gave some feedback saying conversions would be cool and here we are! Thanks Scott.

[@Retrofun69]

Im glad you are back Scott.

[@Miniac]

I never went anywhere ♥

[@carlstanford7607]

Ha ha. Glad you never left too

[@joshbernal4864]

Brother your older videos weren't bad, but your last 6 or so have really brought it! Great job man!

[@PinkHatTV]

This is the classic Miniac video I've been waiting for. Well done. Well painted. GL against Jay, that dude is a beast!

[@evilpeachesofdoom]

Dude, the quaility of the videos are going up. The change you were talking about, the new types of content, how you want to evolve. This is all good, I appreciate that I'm getting to watch the growth of a channel in real time. Now, what on earth do you have up your sleeves for board games? I think you should *poke* the bear and start maybe talking about these board games you want to include. Maybe skirmish games are the fork in the road that gets you there? If only you knew folks that create games that also are mini agnostic..............(hoping to make a point here).....................

[@Miniac]

At some point I'd like to make a video about how to make board game models look good, but I'm having a hard time turning into a step by step process.

[@evilpeachesofdoom]

@@Miniac Maybe look into the Oathsworn game that your buddy keeps talking about on TUP. Probably the closest thing to a plastic kit mini vs a board game mini. Kingdom death counts as plastic hobby kits, as much as I love them and want that, its too much a model first and a game piece second.

[@zacharykleger2709]

@@Miniac Please that sounds great

[@lat1n0_h0t]

Scott needing the deadline pushed back to an event feels like the most Warhammer thing to me lolol. One of the few factors for me getting an army painted is if i have an event otherwise grey models will be played with. Good luck can't wait for the sweet bike mob to be painted

[@JordanThunder-m3x]

If it weren’t for jay and Eob I would have never found you. It’s nice to see the colabs, as a dog shit painter of the hobby for like 20 years, I hadn’t really gotten anything done untill I started watching you guys. The past 3 years I’ve been picking up a little here and there from jay and you, Jon ,atom and Vince. I hope you guys realize the impact you make on the hobby and seeing you guys enjoy it together makes for some good fucking heartfelt shit man. I Appreciate you guys and aspire to be a quarter as talented

[@nightmarepenguin2370]

From conventional glazing and layering, to wet blending and nmm, the way you discuss transitions and gradients (and actually paint them ofc) has always been massively inspiring, and this vid is no exception! Now that I don't really play 40k anymore and therefore don't need to army paint quickly (I'm keeping my armies, the hobby side of things was more my deal anyway), over the past months, I've just been going at a pace that lets me feel like I'm making progress while not trying to smash stuff out, I've really been inspired to push my skills and learn from your examples. An airbrush would speed things up of course, but even without one I'm really happy with what I'm achieving! Thanks Scott, you've shown me a path to improvement that really gets me excited to paint, and now my grey armies may not stay that way forever!

[@Staffan18]

I really like how you incorperated the sponsor of the video, into the video, showing painting fotage while using the sponsor. Very cool =) Also, the paint scheme is so nice!

[@sittingstill3578]

Like Squidmar!

[@billdefranza4927]

4:10 this camera pan shot... (Chef's kiss)

[@NobodysHero23]

I’m not a dark Eldar fan, but I’ve been loving the videos lately. The educational value your videos have while still keeping them interesting is just amazing!

[@Boundsey_m8]

Im really enjoying the increase in content coming out of your channel recently. And I appreciate the little hobby tips littered throughout the video. Keep up the good work, Mr Miniature Maniac!

[@lovemysi07]

Dropping your weekly content has been great! I'm glad you're letting yourself give up some of the perfection to drive more content. Way to go!

[@scytheme]

GRUBBY! Man, you, my dude. Rock hard!

[@Whattwa]

This is the kind of content I like from you, hobby commentary while you paint up a beautiful model!

[@castlecrusadercrafts2841]

MAN IDK MINIAC IS BACK SWINGING! the music, the video, the fancy shots with backdrops and movement??? omg its luscious. the voice over is just right, the kitbashing and painting is perfectly paced and looks outstanding. the wider video narrative, with jay and the army - perfect. what a sweet video and an even sweeter fig YEEHAW

[@lawrencewatts1838]

Something I've seen for oil washing that CountryFriedMinis does a lot, is putting the oil paint on a piece of scrap cardboard for a while before applying, which draws a lot of the oil out of the paint and speeds up the drying time, so you don't have to wait hours between applying it and wiping it off!

[@aaronyoung542]

Love seeing you get back to your roots in light of the format change you were pondering. Keep up the good work scott!

[@alexthomson4720]

This is an amazing style of video! I love what you’re doing with the channel! Been around for a couple years now and enjoying the growth of the channel every time

[@james.pereira]

These are genuinely super cool videos Scott. Fun, positive and really good quality - thanks for what you do!

[@cameronwillman4980]

Happy to see you were able to publish another video, I hope this more aggressive and consistent timeline helps your channel. Your videos always have little nuggets of wisdom, and I have a new method to tackle feathering, which I have struggled with in the past.

[@FADWC]

Showing the highlighting process with the ad was genius. The only ad I haven't skipped, ever lol

[@hairysticks74]

This was a really nice video. Kudos on the paint job. Looking forward to seeing J's finished army too!

[@SirBuffton]

Loving the regular content Scot! Back to basics, bringing your personality. It's why we loved you all those years ago.

[@4a6ka]

Scott, I really like the new videos! Keep up the good work! The tempo is better, the delivery is better and I really appreciate the updated format!

[@JustLookinkAround]

After all these years, I still love the outro!! Was awesome to see how you use the airbrush, I'm currently still figuring out how to use mine. Currently I'm not sure where to go once I put down the zenithal and maybe a glaze, but this video sure gave me some ideas!

[@Adulese]

Really glad to see this "return to form". Everything is extremely educational and explained with precision. Thanks, Scott! ^-^

[@lamMeTV]

Given that you had this survey imma judge this "NEW" video under those criteria +A project that you just enjoy and really wanna do instead of something topical +Profficient shots like the walking away while talking through your thoughts +Comfy shot of opening the case -Air brush is uncommon and not used too too often +Thinking in terms of using it on the table is a great idea +Mixing inside the pipette is great to show +Making the edge of the base super vibrant helps on the tabletop -Painting the rim black really kills the vibrant edge and all the over paint past the base looks messy

[@phoenix-kingz]

I love your paint scheme so much especially on this model! Something about dark eldar I’m not black n purple armor always draws me in

[@BitzboxTV]

He looks stunning. I have always loved your Drukhari scheme. Thanks for sharing how you painted your Incubi

[@JeiDamani]

Your youtube persona just works for me - im glad you're in this hobbyspace. As a byproduct, you also help me enjoy metal music. Thanks for the vid :)

[@hyrlen]

I love this. Lots of nice beginner tips mixed with some advanced tips. And no shame for using an airbrush! Welcome back man.

[@Gryndir]

Sick video. I don't know if you had your new editor do this one but it felt really clean and well done. Excited to see how the army progresses!

[@klingonmage]

This video felt like a return to form for you, Scott. I really enjoyed it. Thanks for creating this.

[@nadukkerensky392]

i am all about this journey ! something to be aware of for your YT planning quite often when painting a 40k army at this pace, the points can change before you finish your army for an under performing factions, you will likely get point reductions, so you will need to update your list and take more stuff if your faction is over performing it will be cost increases so you can just cut stuff as Drukarhi are not chart toppers you need to factor this into your painting schedule

[@BlackwaterTales]

Heck yeah. Simple but effective conversion. Sweet paintjob. Beautiful result.

[@nurglematthew893]

I support you, Bud. Keep rockin as you please. Nurgle Bless Miniac in the Kindest of ways! 🌞

[@danielb8533]

Nice to see you get back to painting again! Love the competition.

[@MrPogless]

That looks sick! Love the process. Definitely some points for me to try and implement in my own minis

[@Uncle_Anthoni]

ANNNNNDD we're back baby. This feels like the same level of energy and humor as the older maniac videos. I hope you're having fun again

[@clive_maloney]

Awesome job Scott. I love the way you paint.

[@Wijkert]

6:15 alternatively you can add an opaque black paint to your contrast black mix. Inks might have a higher pigmentation, but they also have a very transparent medium, so I think it made sense that you didn't notice much of a difference.

[@Miniac]

I definitely noticed a difference, but it was just too dark and not much of a remaining grey color to work with. But yeah, acrylic paint is also an option!

[@richardebourne6332]

Great end result. Makes me want to start back up woth dark eldar again, and the bare head really marks him out as special. And the weapon swap adds a bit more dynamism to sell the threat level. I like the oil wash idea, but i tend to use panel liner from my scale model cars for my white scar successors; tested on tanks first and def works for my more modest needs. Plus i don't really have time for gloss coats and oils. Also great to see the airbrush coming back to the fore. When i got my airbrush i found your videos so useful to get started. But took me a while to be brave enough to use on 40k!!!

[@lukedon1549]

Easily one of my favorite videos! Funny enough this checks all of the boxes for what I love about your videos 😂 Thanks again and keep being awesome!

[@LemanoftheRussVI]

Keep going on the weekly uploads this is awesome!

[@dimitrios8]

Love the way the army is going... Look forward to seeing how this develops :) It would be great to see how your army evolves as you play games... I appreciate it will take a good while, whilst you paint to your amazing standard.. but i'm locked in to find out :)

[@niall142]

Great video! I need to try that precise method of oil washing, I spend too long panel lining and recess shading my Dark Eldar.

[@mikebroadwater]

Love seeing videos like this from you, Scott. Keep it up!

[@timooster280]

Vallejo Sun Yellow is awesome because of it's transparency and saturation. It thins down so well for glazing or filtering. Moon Yellow has pretty good opacity for a yellow but is a little more desaturated. Together they complement each other very well. You can use one to basecoat and then bring saturation back with a single coat of the other. You can mix sun yellow into any paint to shift its hue without losing any saturation.

[@bakamaru3867]

Amazing paint job as always! Love all the information.

[@jordanlindorff372]

As a DE player this was super cool to watch, knowing that you and Jay are both painting my favorite army is awesome. I can't wait to see all the DE goodness.

[@darrinscott6612]

Looks great! Pro tip about Molotow Chrome: painting a highly glossy black basecoat will improve shininess. The best high gloss black paints are also enamels.

[@justinandmaxgames5472]

I am a 'casual' painter - but you always inspire me - and I immediately primed some minis due to your heavy metal pledge-howl at the end of the video. I'm a bit north of you in Duluth MN but damned be the cold - I have a can of Wraith Bone that had to get on a batch for a Divide et Impera army.

[@Chanlander]

I'm so happy you're popping back up in my feed!

[@skorpekh]

I love this series, can't wait to see the rest of the army take shape. The model looks amazing too.

[@falcogress1136]

Really happy you continue this series! It's extra motivation to work on my own army, even though it's a different faction 😂

Best video in a long time, Scott! You look and sound much better than you have for quite awhile. Keep it going!

Scott at first i want to say how much i enjoyed this video. I really like when you are talking about you thoughts. I am no "alien" guy. I love the Astra Militarum, the grey knights or the black templars. But seeing you being so passionate about the eldar and your army is a nice thing. 🤓🙌🏻

[@Mr.Cook_the_Fixer]

Awesome video! Really like seeing how conversions are done. I now want a Kermit Conversion for one of the minis haha

[@Wijkert]

On the topic of blending in the oil wash after application and some amount of drying time; I really like what Night Shift does for blending oils and enamels. He uses a brush with a decent amount of white spirit to blend the edges into the rest of the model. The upside is a way smoother blend (what you ended up with is quite sudden transition), the potential downside being that you stain the armor more. That might be a feature or a bug depending on what look you are going for however. Personally I want to try the blending method more too, because I have had sudden transitions in the past and have not always liked the look of them.

[@Miniac]

Definitely going for "sudden transition". Honestly it's not much of a transition at all. Looking for a stark outline of all the details.

[@Wijkert]

@@Miniac fair enough.
