Do I Get Models from GW? Jay Answers YOUR Questions!

[@moweu]

9:38 interesting to see that Jays biggest problem with the silent kings return is that he has a beautiful chair and a cool hat

[@oddrknot4]

If this channel does decide to do a Battle Report style series; PLEASE do it as an in-character leader of your army OR important influential character tied to your army who narrates their decisions, issues within the command group, their armies successes and failures, and weave a story that the other people involved can play off of. It would be an insane amount of work but be so worth the results; only if it’s fun though

[@pickle3644]

In speculated lore, the silent king returned because he doesn’t want the tyranids to cleanse the galaxy of all life, the life that could be used to make necrons living again, also the whole thing about the tyranids is that so far we are only getting the very tip of the invasion, the thousands of worlds they have cleared is a footnote on an invasion scheduled to last millions of years, so as far as we know, that’s why the silent king is back, to stop a war in heaven level threat.

[@euychua]

That’s one of the speculated theories for the nids, the other is that they’re running away from something worse.

[@JasonM69]

The thought of them runnin away from something is a fan theory. Gw made one mention of it in the 8th edition codex years after the fan theory circulated as thats what they like to do. But over all it doeant make sense since the Tyranids are coming in from all edges of the galaxy as that would mean some of the Hive Fleets turned around, and they are slowest space fairing race. @euychua

[@DrakonPhD]

@@euychua Which, hot take, is a really bad idea that just dumbs down the threat of the Tyranids. Another hot take is that the idea that the current tyranid invasion is just a scouting force just makes zero sense. If the scouts wipe out the entire galaxy, what is the main fleet supposed to eat?

Jay will paint a crimson fist when he has retired from youtube for 39 years and is a man in his 80's. Like just imagine this great channel being inactive for several years and out of the blue a new video just titled ...........don't know a title to say halp me.

Let me just add my 2 cents about the fire question. 5 weeks ago my neighbors apartment caught fire and spread into mine. I didnt have any time to grab models 😂. Lost probably half of my collection to the fire but was able to salvage most of my big models. Wish it on no one!

[@sbh_tx]

sorry to hear that man

[@Paranormal-Stupidity]

For the guy who got the fluffy finish from the spray cans. You can fix it by using an electric toothbrush on it. You only need to strip it if it's really bad.

[@noahspargelburg9077]

I think everyone should know this because it helped me so much with the texture. You can also use a normal toothbrush, if you dont have an electric one.

[@MostOriginalUsername]

I wish i knew this while i used the army paint spray cans

[@frostedbutts4340]

Lmao the AP sprays are so bad.. no idea how they get away with it

[@e_m_met]

In a cluttered workshop, with paintbrush in hand, Sat Jay from Eons of Battle, with a plan so grand. The task before him, a Crimson Fist to create, But Jay had other ideas, a twist of fate. He stared at the marine, in blue and red hues, But his heart sang a different, more familiar muse. "Why paint a Fist when a Templar's so near?" He whispered to himself, with a mischievous cheer. The Crimson Fist model, all ready to go, But Jay's mind wandered to a black and white show. He swapped the paints quickly, with a swift little dance, And began on the Templar, seizing the chance. "No one will notice," he chuckled with glee, As he painted the marine, as black as can be. With crosses and symbols, in purest white, Jay worked on the Templar, feeling just right. The Crimson Fist figure lay forgotten, forlorn, As Jay crafted his Templar, with skill well-worn. "Another one finished, a job well done!" He grinned at his work, his heart full of fun. The viewers all laughed, for they knew Jay's game, The Templar obsession, his well-known claim. In the comments they cheered, "Another one? Really?" But they loved it nonetheless, finding it silly. So Jay from Eons of Battle, with a wink and a grin, Continued his quest, his own funny spin. For why paint a Crimson Fist when you can create, Another Black Templar, in all its dark fate? And thus, in his workshop, Jay carried on, With brushes and models, from dusk until dawn. For in the world of minis, one thing is clear, A Templar a day keeps the boredom in fear.

A cool terrain pack could be a ruined cityscape with highway roads that bridge across the map and adding verticality. There could be on and off ramps to get from the ground to the highway parts and toppled skyscrapers

[@TheEmperorsLeftBabytoe]

I loved the honest answer to the question about your relationship, or lack thereof, with GW. Part of what I like about this channel is that you’re true to yourself and the things you enjoy. Not just rushing out the new models they send you and trying to act excited about it

[@DJDadJoke]

I'm glad Jay talked about Malifaux. I just recently started getting into it, and his Malifaux terrain build was one of my favorite EOB videos ever.

[@Rebelsoldia]

This video gives me new respect for jay because a lot of KZbinrs never read the comments

[@agollumcalledgandalf]

I used to dislike natural brushes for their flaccidity too, but then i found out about racoon brushes. They're just as springy as a synthetic brush

[@bagel_guy9495]

Where is the hair pulled from

[@theanimaster]

@@bagel_guy9495I would guess a Raccoon.

[@agollumcalledgandalf]

@@bagel_guy9495 a raccoon, I don't know the specifics though 😅

[@bagel_guy9495]

I mean where on the raccoon. I'd imagine that face fur and tail fur probably act differently

[@theanimaster]

@@bagel_guy9495 for the weasels they get kolinsky hair from, it is the tail… I imagine it would be the same for raccoons. Still - Coon hair sounds good if it is comparable or even superior to the endangered weasels’ - there’s nothing against using trash bandits, is there? Aren’t they everywhere? EDIT: Oh darn. They are a protected species in most states apparently. Wake me up when they figure out squirrels. Apparently squirrels are a delicacy here in the southeast.

If a standing desk or building a desk is out of your hobby budget, hardware stores often have folding tables with extending legs for under a $100. I got one at home depot for about $60 and Jay is right it absolutely makes a great difference in improving my posture while painting.

[@oskar6661]

Eldar being ignore is one of their greatest strengths. They're basically stuck in 2nd edition, which happens to be the edition where the writers/designers/lore was at it's best. Go read an old 2nd ediiton Codex. They were actually really well written/thought out products. You had legendary sculptors like Goodwin, etc. They existed before the corporate-mega-blitz-products-constantly machinations of modern GW.

[@wayward5219]

Please do a tour of your painting room

[@GermanNightmare1976]

20:18 You're basically describing the Kraken of Fenris. Legend has it that they're the remnants of a failed invasion of what would become the Vlka Fenryka's home world.

[@voltage2773]

For painting Ultramarines, the Citadel Macragge Blue covers unbelievably well. Its quality is consistent too. Both cans I used covered so smooth and fine that it literally looked like the models were actually molded in the Macragge Blue color.

[@sentientape8694]

25:10 that flew over your head😂 it’s the value of the penny doubles every day😂

[@johnwesley2330]

It doesn't say anything about the value of the penny.

[@pimvandergeer7179]

Shout out to Jay's painting desk! ❤❤ seeing the eob videos with that high desk inspired me to try a 'high' desk for hobby as well. Best hobby decision I ever made. it's only about 5,5" Higher then my pc-desk but painting sitting up straight = the best way to do it. 👍💪💪

[@StealthVenturi]

Please can we have a studio tour Jay?

[@zecron8]

Paint some Crimson Fists!!! They're cousins to the Black Templar, have great lore, and a banger paint scheme.

[@PitDroidYouTube]

I really like the way the Yogscast do battle reports on their GamesNight channel. Some action edited in with kinda a post-game summary of what happened. That said I grew up on the ancient BlueTablePainting battle reports from like 17 years ago shot from handheld camera :P

[@pepethunder]

Spray paints are terrifying. Too far? Ruined. Too close? Ruined. Too humid? Ruined. Too dry? Ruined.

[@cbjewelz]

Yea and ballsy to use rustoleum which is hard to remove.

[@brionl4741]

And yet, I use spray paints all the time with no problems.

[@Habitt5253]

I live in Houston, and I spray primed a bunch of minis literally hours before the hurricane struck, and everything turned out just fine. I guess your milage may vary.

[@albertoroche9831]

For the BatReps, look into how old Mini wargaming did theirs. Handheld camera, really only recording major moments or in between turns, and then have one camera positioned to use a time lapse of the whole game for b-roll.

[@Ari91]

I enjoyed this video, you’re a sympathetic dude, dude

For the back pain guy: go to the gym. Since I've started powerlifting (3ish years) my back has gotten so much stronger and pain has gone away. Now I just have muscle soreness.

[@mars8329]

Jay!!! If you guys did Battle Reports, I think your BR would be great to just be more of a hangout stream. Just a couple of cameras setup and a big screen so you can chat with us while we watch you guys play a live stream. 🤩

[@MrSkullhead1]

For priming, Glidden Max Flex is the best I've found in years of searching! Goes on in thin, forgiving coats, doesn't obscure detail and dries fast. I can't bring myself to buy miniature paimt brand specific rattlecans; too expensive.

[@Sadistichippo]

The day of ascension is also written by one of my all time favourite sci fi authors! If you enjoyed it, check out their other book: children of time.

[@IHADTHECAKE]

I was prepping for a huge 21k point 6 way game, and got all my AdMech in the boxes. I live in a studio apartment so I don’t have a lot of room and I use my stove top as a holding spot as I lack sufficient surfaces. I woke up at 430 am smelling weird melting plastic, and immediately knew what was up. I ran over to the stove and sure enough the smallest burner got bumped on when I put the carry boxes down. My storage boxes are made from Lowe’s heavy duty totes with sheet metal epoxy welded to the bottom. If it wasn’t for the metal I would have probably lost 1/3 or more of my AdMech army. Be careful out there.

[@davidtindle6973]

Citadel primer cans are really good you just have to be a little closer than it tells you and do short quick burst. Vallejo has some really good spray primers also

[@sittingstill3578]

When you’re thinking about battle reports, you might find the SC2 replays by _Lowko_ a good inspiration for how to convey a very complex game in an approachable manner.

[@Badbufon]

as for battle reports, i think some Space Hulk battle reports would fit the bill perfectly, not as big, more narrative oriented, you already have an amazing board and minis. it would be great

[@ForWorkPurposesOnly]

You are very entertaining. Thanks for that.

[@kennyclaing4923]

I’ve recently tried Krylon spray paint (turquoise I believe) instead of rust oleum, and it worked great as a zenithal highlight, it sprays in a fine mist and doesn’t spit, or not a lot at least. I haven’t tried all of their colors, but I’m curious to see if they all act like that. Plus, I used to buy the rust oleum spray paint at my local Walmart, but now they almost only sell them in glossy or satin, the only matt paints are the black and white, so it’s good for basecoating but terrible for zenithal spray. Anyway, I would recommend trying Krylon spray paint, at least the turquoise one is beautiful in my opinion !

[@Derek8487]

You can still get rustoleum flat black primer, i bought a can recently @ walmart.

[@saiancantin7667]

Hi Jay! I think you have to find your own way if you want to give a shot at Battle reports. Personally, I think you should stay true to your storytelling skills. You wouldnt need to film the whole thing... or like film it all but use just the nicer shots to give us a feew glimse of how the game went and afmire the minis. You could narrate the game and tell the story of how it went and share us some bloopers and live moments.

[@jlozier116]

Rust-Oleum flat black primer is still around, just hard to find. Usually I'll find it at smaller hardware stores

To your point about splitting Warhammer into a competitive game and a separate fluffy narrative game, Modiphius just recently began that process with Fallout! Fallout: Wasteland Warfare is more of a bring what you want, tell a story type of game and Fallout: Factions is more balanced and considerate of PvP and competitive scenes. I'd love if GW followed

Iv sworn by vallejo primer cans. Thats mostly what the Squidmar team uses in projects and videos. I got so curious I wanted to see what was up and sure enough they are wonderful. A third less than the price of GW and twice the price of decent cans from walmart makes them the perfect price. Quite honestly the quality beats out GW as well. Its also sad you couldnt remember the one army that literally got me interested in your channel and thats Necrons lol. Goes to show they are definitely not an army you think about often and who knows when we'll see a new video or army update haha. Im patiently waitinf for that special edition to come out but oddly enough its been radio silence since the black friday preview. Makes me wonder if GW is cooking up a refresh ed Trazyn model, fingers crossed!

[@frostedbutts4340]

Yeah the Vallejo sprays are so good. Great range of colors, consistent results and they don't clog the detail like most hardware store ones

[@Fatzombie086]

If you like the book day of ascension, check out some of the other SciFi by the author Adrian Tchaikovsky. His children of time series and war dogs series are both really really good. Unless you're really weirded out by bugs, his books have a lot of bugs in them.

Battle reports: for a long time I thought following the sports template would work but it doesn't. I think I know why, natural sports noises are more thrilling that natural sweaty gamer noises. I think following professional Texas hold'em tournaments coverage might work better as a template. Ambient murmurings seem important too.

You guys should do a space hulk battle report!! the crappy lighting and weird camera angles could be chocked up to it being in the namesake of the game- a space hulk!!! One really good battle report channel is "Minisodes" where the games are very story driven, and a few of the batreps are just recreations of what happened in the game rather than a live one.

[@daaaah_whoosh]

I think the unit bloat and the diluted faction identity is kind of the point, GW seems to want to let players be diverse within factions rather than branching out into new ones. Like if I was collecting Space Marines but wanted to play a tank-heavy list, I could dip into Imperial Guard for their iconic tanks, or I could buy a Gladiator. Or if I was collecting T'au and wanted to do melee or horde stuff I could buy some Kroot. I'm sorta surprised there wouldn't be more money in encouraging people to start collecting new armies, but that doesn't seem to be the strategy.
