I Found ONE Perfect Mini in My Collection (and then I painted it)

It was actually really touching, the way you spoke of Chris, a man you never even met.

Is Baldrick a reference to BLackadder’s servant? I always have one unit called Darling’s darlings. For captain darling from blackadder goes forth

[@LordDestrus]

I agree. I couldn't help but just have pure admiration for the conscious kindness to a complete stranger who shared a hobby. We need more people in our friends groups like Brent. Real upstanding dude who we can all honestly look to for compassion. I think it does so much more for us to be kind and to see Brent express this as a hallmark of the video is seriously cool. He didn't have to, but he did, and that makes all the difference. I'm a new fan to this channel, but I'm definitely here to stay. I can tell it is full of positive energy and I need more of that right now.

I like the mental image that he has a space on his ship that has several copies of the exact same outfit, just in different colors so he can always “blend in” despite having a giant hat and a big glowing sword. But nobody wants to tell him he doesn’t blend in at all

[@Britishperson131]

Inspiring. I have the same relationship with a few of my models as they were originally owned by a chap who sadly passed away and his sister was selling them at a big "bring and buy". Bless her she didnt know what anything was worth, so of course you had the vultures circling her stall before long. In the end I stepped in and helped her get a grasp of what was what. By all means the models were still extremely cheap but it just left a bitter taste in my mouth that a few tight scavengers were scamming her. In the end I bought a load of stuff (at a good price for me and her). To this day I'm still finding bits and Bob's from the guys collection. It makes me think what will happen to my guys when I'm gone. I hope they all just go to nephews lol. I just try to make the models look as good as I can in memory of the original owner. I just love these type of videos that raise issues like this.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

In the end, we just hope they go to a good home and somebody gets a few more of them painted ;-) I definitely got Chris' collection for cheap, but I'm resolved to honor them!

[@AKARazorback]

Better than finding bits of Bob in your collection, I'm sure! ;) GJ dude

[@Esanssi10]

What you said about and to the previous owner of the miniature was really touching, Brent. Made me well up a bit. Even though we're just talking about silly plastic(and metal) miniatures, it's genuinely heartwarming to hear stuff like that and remember that there's a story behind every miniature, and a person behind that story. Keep up the wholesome videos. :)

I'm so glad someone else likes to make up stories about their mini while painting. :) Gerald is a great "paint for joy" character and project.

[@bigbossignition]

My co-workers husband passed away years ago. One day I told her about my hobby and she said her husband used to be into the hobby as well. The next time we were working together she brought me a box of his old paints and his airbrush and compressor. She said it brought her so much joy knowing his hobby stuff could be of use to someone else.

“Greetings, guardsmen. I am Brother Sergeant Bran Wulfram, Tactical Intercessor within the 3rd Company Ghost-Stalkers, 8th Squadron of the Raven Guard chapter. I have been briefed by my Chapter Master Kayvaan Shrike on a mission concerning your commanding officer, Gerald Weeks. Have you any information regarding his current whereabouts? It is extremely urgent that I speak to him.”

[@MrHalonoob117]

Can you imagine Gerald getting the power sword? “Servant.” “Yes Sir?” “Make my Power Sword my personal colors.” “Sir?” “Did I stutter servant?” “Sir-with all respect-I cannot change the color of your sword.” “Well what is the reason?” “We have no understanding of this xenos crystal, we could destroy it.” “MAKE MY SWORD GREEN!” “I CAN’T!” “TO THE BRIG WITH YOU!”

[@TheDanc1nghawk]

correction. he stabs the poor servant. and then falls in love with the color the blood on the sword makes when back-lit by the glow of the sword. he then proceeds to start stabbing someone every few seconds because the blood keeps boiling off the sword. poor Gerald has fallen to chaos. all because of his love of color.

[@dezmodium]

small critique, the flame coloring is backwars. the brightest colors are in the bulk of the flame towards the base. thats how fire works. its brighter near the source and darkens as carbon and other elements burning off mix into the air. yellow should be the base color mixing into orange and then red near the tip.

I just have to say I love watching your channel. I play dnd and have been painting since the 80's. But it's been only the past couple years that I've stepped my game up by watching various channels like yours. I am also a terrain maker and I have a system when I make terrain which I call doodling. I take various pieces of bits I've collected and just play around with them and see what I come up with. It is so relaxing to do that even though I have many terrain and painting projects to do. They can get done later, I am enjoying myself now. Thanks for reinforcing that.

The inquisitions best kept secret is how 'Cadia Blackface Matters' was the actual cause for Cadia to explode. They were a group of insurgents of Choas, hellbent on destabilizing the planet. Not even the voice of reason could reach them...
