Dragging A Friend Into WARHAMMER Went As Well As Expected

[@euansmith3699]

28mm scale is 28mm from the soles of the feet to the eye level on a roughly normal-sized person... so it is super vague and not at all solid. I like how Dave's hostage claims to be looking at himself on a monitor, when we all know he is actually glancing at Tony, just out of shot, covering him with a pistol so he can't run off.

[@richardkirke]

I always thought that 25, 28, 15mm etc was just the height of a person. This is, of course, immediately undermined by the fact that Space Marines are taller than a normal human.

[@euansmith3699]

@@richardkirke It is further complicated by Heroic Scale having the heads, hands and weapons be a larger scale than the body and legs. 😄👍

[@richardkirke]

@@euansmith3699 of course!

[@TheyTarget]

This is correct, and its what I was going to say. Its eye level on the average height adult male. Which means nothing if the game is goblins and dwarfs fighting.

[@anxiousandworrying1]

and its too eye level not to of the head because of stupidly big napoleonic hats

[@jheu781]

One of the best parts of the hobby is sharing the hobby with a friend and just chatting with them. So often are we doing this alone.

[@solidsentinel1285]

The gundam holding the mic is brilliant

[@ph0n1k]

My son uttered the words ‘Dad, im going to learn to play Warhammer 40k at a mates house’ earlier this summer. Im now down a minimum of £350, have boxes of the stuff still to put together and have 30 marines and a dreadnought being painted. Can i just say fair play to Wayland games, they are best and cheapest place to buy. (Genuine and honest comment, not sponsored.)

[@SuperDuperHappyTime]

This is what happens when you let your kids get into the hobby and don’t immediately THAT GUY him.

[@MSPaints]

Oh man, my kids won't ever know what i do, or have friends that do it, haha.

[@MightyGachiman]

Man this is just one step above the people who post on twitter about the political points their 3 year olds make😂

[@Haanzer]

Around 1:09:20, Dave says that he walked back into a Games Workshop and smelled that very strong scent of solventy smell of poly cement and paint and it got the hooks in him. Honestly, I relate to this hard. Having spent a number of years of my youth in a Games Workshop every weekend, walking past the store on the street and seeing the minis on display is what drew me back in - but walking into the store and having all those sense memories flood back from the distinctive smell of the place is absolutely what hooked me. There's really something to that. I do really think that GW should focus their stores less on making sales at retail and more as loss leaders for getting people into the hobby, because nothing ensnares you for LIFE like the experience of being in those stores.

[@vadersjester]

Loads of genuine laugh out loud moments in this, quality even if my partner was raging that I'd woken up the cat and he went full zoomies at 1am. Really enjoyed the chill banter between mates while building stuff.

[@Scrombo2]

Honestly this was great, some podcasts can feel a bit overly produced, this felt very genuine, came for the warhammer, stayed for the discussion of Snake fisting and pokemon cards

[@MSPaints]

Cheeeeers mate! 🐸🐸

[@tonydonoghue5846]

The reason i model is to help with my health its great therapy , i suffer with fibromyalgia and carpal tunnel, carpal tunnel syndrome and have had to stop doing mechanics which was my main job and my hobby, i used to just build cars and brush paint them but that conflicted with my ocd as they didn't look right so i started using auto paint in cans , i came across a gundam in my local gaming shop and then started building and painting them which led me into airbrushing, I then bought a box of miniatures (tau pathfinders) as a way to practise my detail brushwork i now have a backlog with all 3 types of model, 7 cars 8 gundam, 4 boxes miniatures and kill team starter box . Im awaiting an asd/adhd assessment and the modelling is probably one of the things that has really helped with keeping myself leveled

[@looselycollected7505]

This was a lot of fun. And this is the sort of podcast I'd watch. Just a couple of friends talking about nerdy geeky hobby stuff and pursuits of that nature. Having fun. Telling stories. Making jokes. But not so serious that it sounds like a news show or a paid infomercial. Keep it up, I'm in!

[@MSPaints]

Cheers mate!

[@looselycollected7505]

@MSPaints right back at ya man!

[@MrJayzilla101]

The intake of breath followed by “that’s good content” is everything ;)

[@tremolo_painter]

And the sound of keyboards being pounded was heard across the hobby-verse :)

[@anonymousgeoff5399]

Definitely worth clipping and editing into future videos at key moments.

[@MoleMantle]

Genuinely really enjoyed this. There's something special about watching 2 actual mates having a laugh about stuff with no staging or secret plan. Loved it and will definitely watch more so please make them!

[@Pork-Pie-Pete81]

I love that you crossed the Rubicon Primaris to hobby chat show land. This was brilliant, Chump Change is a great wingman. I wish you guys every success.

[@MSPaints]

Thank you! 🐸🐸

[@totallycarbon2106]

This is fab, genuinely the best new podcast / video show ive stumbled into in a while. So fun to have that mix of building a model while also chatting a smooth blend of insight and crap. Really entertaining, great listening / casual viewing, 10/10

[@saladrobot]

Hearing you talk about metal models while working on my old Bjorn the Fell Handed, who weighs almost 300g, makes me happy.

[@MSPaints]

You can't go wrong with a 10 kilo model is all i'm saying. 🐸🐸

[@paddymick4627]

love the format, more of this kinda thing please

[@MSPaints]

More comin' right up, Paddy!

[@tremolo_painter]

That was wonderfully chill and funny - you two have a great rapport that made 90 minutes feel too short. Listening to you explain things to a novice showed how much hobby information we take for granted - scale or mm, historical or fantastical, building, mold lines, drilling barrels, different sprue layouts. More of this please, this is such a relaxing podcast to hobby with.

[@guardsman8119]

Great new format to add to the channel! I love hobbying along, painting, building, etc, while listening. 👌👌

[@NewSquallor]

Ingrates. MSpaints improved Painting Phase atmosphere at least ten fold. 😁 Scale of 28mm is usually something like 1:56 scale. Although minis in that ball park can range up to 1:48 for heroic in some lines.

[@MSPaints]

Thanks for watching mate! and thanks again for the super!

[@NewSquallor]

@@MSPaints hilariously great stuff. Thanks for the evening entertainment. Looking forward to more SCF.

[@theshizzen3988]

Hurray, another tabletop talk show! I love it. Please continue with this. The painting phase episode with you was my faveorite !❤

[@WhatsUpGazpacho]

39:18 fun fact about Napoleonics. They could make pink leather. You could have basically any colour leather you wanted. So while not battle accurate, it wouldn't not be period accurate to have a guy with a pink leather strap

[@Le_Petomane]

This is fantastic why would i expect anything less. I was yearning for a MS Paints video just yesterday. Ill admit i was a bit worried about the delay. Really good stuff lads.

[@MSPaints]

Aye aye, plenty of work clogging me up outside of the channel sadly. But needs must!

[@Le_Petomane]

@@MSPaints I'm pleased your alive, hell I'm pleased i am alive ultimately. I have a different shakey hand syndrome so I love everything you do mate not just for that of course. Horses for courses. Is that a saying? oh well.

[@Andy__H]

Get the whole Juggz lot on the show. That would be chaos. 😁😍

[@alexknott1696]

Really nice first episode, Dave (also Mickers 👌). Loved the feel of the topics, nothing too edgy or meta chasing bullshit. The camera work was nice, and the edit didn't chop about too much like a lot of podcasts (it's almost like you do this for a living). My one and only suggestion would be for the "mystery item" section to be a wee bit longer, but i'm guessing first episode was always going to be figuring shit out. Great work as always, and I can't wait for the next one.

[@MSPaints]

We were worried that section would overstay its welcome. Also I absolutely grabbed that game last minute off a nearby shelf hahaha

[@alexknott1696]

Ahhh, sounds like "Show and tell" when I was a high school. The random shit from my school bag I've had to make shit up about suggests school wasn't my strength 😂 (my Humalog Insulin was a low point)

[@Dumpes]

I am loving this longer video style. The humor, banter, just all of it is great. I can listen to you talk for hours about whatever.

[@MSPaints]

Cheers maaaate!🐸🐸

[@danielwong2803]

"Check your mold lines, [my] dude." Taking this habit into daily life is maddening as I've realized that manufacturing usually does not care to remove mold lines or assemble to hide mold lines. More often than not, I find mold lines on any plastic product.

[@robling1937]

The amount of 1/2 right or sloppily summarized lore that you included as rage bate for comments is cracking me up! Hilarious! Nice episode lads

[@MSPaints]

Something something Emperor... something... what was i saying?

[@nickthompson1534]

This was a lot of fun. I am 100% ready for rock "show and tell". Learning about new hobbies is always a treat

[@laurencepenfold]

We generally know what the colours of Napoleonic uniforms were supposed to be because the fabrics were mass-produced in industrial mills. That doesn't mean anyone can gate-keep your paint-job though.

[@illsthaprophet]

28 mm to the eye line of a standard man, which is roughly 6 feet, though it is purposefully a wibbly wobbly way to scale things.

[@vaderkoshpaints]

Very much enjoyed this gents. Making fun of and having fun with the hobby is what it’s all about. Looking forward to the next one! And War dolly is probably what I will call my miniatures from now on 😂.

[@MSPaints]

I'm gonna forever call my dudes War Dollies too i think

[@echorome6260]

Me and my mates stopped playing Magic the Gathering and started just taking turns putting money into a bin, whoever puts the most money in wins. Similar experience but somewhat cheaper.

[@MSPaints]

Yeah that'll do it. Sadly it's a model that works so more and more companies are doing it.

[@nerdstuffandreviews7578]

Good chat. Sometimes I forget how long I’ve been building my little war dollies (that is SO going to stick) and take for granted all the tools and tricks accumulated over the years. Watching someone hunch down and contort their face in painful concentration is both satisfying and embarrassing…I can’t imagine subjecting my friends to such a thing at my behest!

[@redcoat259]

28mm sized figures came out of the continued scale creep during the 1980s and 1990s. Fifty years ago metal wargames figures were generally made in 25mm size which was already scale creep from the Model railway/military modelling scales of 1/72 and 1/76. Those gave foot to top of head heights of 24mm. The first 25mm wargames figures were measured from foot to top of head, but the need for extra detail and ease of sculpting this led to them slowly being sculpted in 25mm foot to eye. Citadel (Games Workshop) (and increasingly others) pushed this scale creep further in the 1980's so that by the end of the decade 28mm from foot to eye(ish) had become the norm. Then during the 1990's "heroic 28's started to appear that pushed the envelope further to 30mm foot to eye and now around 32mm, I think. Confusingly there is a huge variation in the wargames figure size labelled as "28mm" and whilst humans vary in size so that part doesn't really matter it is the difference in sizes of the figures "equipment"!!! which are most noticeable. Which is a long winded way of saying NO 28mm figures are not 28mm to the M, ya numpty :D

The discussion on space marine wangs would have been a good segway into the topic of gene-seed and how one must accept the gene-seed into their bodies so as to be accepted as proper brothers of the chapter. Also, one ancestor of the space marines is named after a poet who famously wrote about his gay lover.

[@johnbruce4004]

Scale/size of models is a Pandora's box. Essentially started at HO/OO scale with Airfix and 2" for Timpo & Britain's. The XXm description arrived with Mini figs and Hinchcliffe. This describes the height of model from Foot to .... head then as figures grew eyes. It is not strictly scale but simply a size to which a scale (1/56) has been attributed, certainly for historical games. But with Heroic 28 (disproportionate hand and heads) and 32 mm the 'scale' 1/48 is a closer match. However different manufacturers define these to suit. As ever you pays your money and you makes your choice.
