Holiday Gifts EVERY Warhammer Hobbyist Needs!

[@matchstick-man]

Need y'all to release these videos a month earlier when I'm trying to put a list together haha

[@wikyWargaming]

Second that!

[@mjuarez808]

Exactly

[@Nipsicles]

A week or 2 before black friday imo

[@Pladshirtman1924]

Amen

[@ltGargoyle]

this commit should be pinned.

[@RoganJosh86]

So a quick tip that iv found amazingly effective when using painters tape came from a friend of mine who’s a painter and decorator, once you have applied your tape to where you want it use your finger or a cue tip and slightly dampen the edge your painting up to which will form a seal on that edge then when you peel of the tape it will leave the cleanest line you will have ever seen. Merry Christmas hobby dudes 🎄

[@JamesBrowningII]

I loved seeing the Michigan Toy Soldier Company website on your video! Those guys are semi-local to me and have a great selection of hobby tools, books and miniatures!

[@Gieas-x5e]

I hope Daryl is doing well this holiday season. I feel like it's been a while since we've seen him around.

[@RussellGuldin]

I don't think Daryl knows how to have a bad time.

[@simonyu8838]

*watches yellow ink being applied to base* "I see he's painted the Space Wolf marking his territory"

[@aprilkline8434]

I purchased both the Wow Stick and the Color Cubes when you first recommended them, and they are the best hobby investments I've made (except for paints and brushes). The Wow Stick...it does what it's supposed to do, faster and better than a pin vise. I don't come from an artistic background, and have struggled with color schemes for 30 years. Art books gave references and taught color theory, and I have color wheels galore; but it just never seemed to stick if I used more than 2 colors. The Color Cubes are a dream come true for me! I can't recommend them enough to anyone who struggles with color schemes, or just wants to try something new. 100% worth the price! Thanks, Jon!

[@svelle37]

Thanks for the video, lots of stuff in there that I didn't think of yet! A quick comment on that neatfi lamp. The neatfi lamp is fine and all, but it's also a rebrand of a typical manicure/hobby lamp that can be bought for around $30-50 from aliexpress, ebay and amazon if you search for the right keywords. If you're in Germany/EU you can buy a semplix lamp and they'll be identical sans the label.

[@krsboss]

I picked up one of those "little known" Ninjon paint sets and Dark Plum is literally my GOTO shadow tone now 😎

[@a.beukemann]

As someone going through this right now I really needed some hints. The fact that you brought up models really hit home, last year my kids got me models and I had to hold off on my projects to paint them so they could see them done.

[@jeffnorris3913]

Slay the grey! I have officially base coated everything I have. I have no grey. Getting ready for winter painting.

[@allenfinkenaur5001]

I don't see anyone pointing out the stealth update to the Vizzik Golden Demon entry at 4:53. Cant wait to see the formal update vid!

[@murray1867]

These unwarranted jabs at Vince that slips out every now and then is absolutely hilarious!

[@ltGargoyle]

My friends and i have so many models we have to have a yearly contest to make sure we get them painted. So hobby tools and add ons are alway a great gift for us.

[@toastybread0413]

"Sleigh the grey" is such an iconic line I'm sorry Ninjon I'm stealing that

[@Gamecapturevideo]

That opening shot looks like my hobby desk at all times, not just the holidays. 🥲

[@shogunmage9036]

The slate tile trick is awesome. Thanks for that one.

[@isisnmagic1812]

I bought that box of skulls a few weeks ago, you can never have too many skulls .

[@lostnfound1086]

Walmart carries a budget LED desk lamp that has warm, 'neutral' and cool settings. 20ish bucks and has battery if you want to travel with it.

[@Wijkert]

+1 for isopropanol alcohol instead of airbrush cleaner which is 20 times more expensive per litre where I live. It's more effective as well. Acetone works even better, but not a big fan of breathing in those fumes when I can avoid it.

[@NicotheEmperorsChampion]

My BIGGEST go-to recommend is brushes! I will never turn down a nice brush

[@KatieKayL]

Love the jingley hat, don't think the video is too late in the season, super happy to have stumbled across it. New girlfriend to a mini enthusiast and this was helpful, thank you! Picked up a few ideas for general crafting for myself too! 🎉🎄💖

[@kris220b]

crocodile clips on sticks bought a pack of 20 a while back, so usefull for holding small things during priming and painting very useless for subassemblies

[@johncleary6599]

"If you're a particular crazy person you can go all the way up to 2500 grit..." Me, Glancing over at my sanding/polishing stick set that goes up to 7000 grit: "Haha, yeah, that would be CRAZY."

[@DeffSkullz]

And I got a pack that goes up to 12,000- haven't used it on models yet, it's in my jewelry tools, as sometimes I need to glass-finish resin/ plastic parts. Anyhoo- where did you get the cracked concrete Mr. Jon? I think you mentioned it on one hobby tools vid, but can't find it and it's not on your list o stuff.

[@breakupgoogle4584]

The thing about investment in the models is soooo true. I was on a comp list once for models from a company, for some online work I was doing. Its cool and all, but it can also rob you of some of joys of the hobby like going out and getting that thing you want and getting it home to tear into it. It can also overwhelm you really quick as you see your workload increase by huge margins every time a box arrives.

[@Banaanivatkuli]

I got a basing box from green stuff world on black friday, all-in-one for snow or other bases.

[@Gwenx]

Okay the bathroom tile, is honestly so fricking stupid and genius 🤣 Ill be sure to include that! My family is unfortunately extremely bad shoppers and will not go anywhere they don't normally go, so i cannot wish for hobby materials nor for any hardware store materials because they just would not go for that. My mom has defaulted to a gift card to the local shopping mall (i do use that a lot though) or just straight up money. And my dad is weird and gave me a gift card 3 years in a row to a store selling beauty products, cremes and perfumes.. it took me a while to get those gift cards used with my minimal "beauty shopping habits".. My sister and i have agreed on no gifts, as we don't really wish for much and don't celebrate together either. And my in-law family gives gifts to "us" and not to me or my partner 😅 One year my partner's brother surprised me on my birthday with a little set of Warhammer figures, it was Elf's on kangaroo looking mounts? Idk enough Warhammer, but they looked cool! It was such a thoughtful gift from him and they turned out real great with my rose and sky blue color theme! 😂

[@lagranya4832]

As someone who would like to see this type of video become a recurring drop each year, it would be more helpful in early to mid-November when making a list before Black Friday sales. 2 weeks before Christmas makes it a little harder to act on.

[@mindyfranke5279]

Happy Holidays!

[@omnito]

Thanks Jon - Informative and entertaining as ever.

[@xephorce]

I love my monument hobbies paint. I got the full set. I still need to get the signature series.

[@legamerdudimanchenovadesan8329]

Do not sleep on the glass and the lamp paint retarter is neat as well

[@Canigetanawwwwyyyyeeeah]

Felt like I was in the Big Bang there….got it, got it, got it, got it, got it, got it, NEED IT!

[@IAmTheDawn]

worst show that ever has been shown. Like, categorically bad.

[@bsimon9427]

i can think of several cheap resources left out but thats for another day. great video

[@EpyonCF]

The fact that you're holding the Christmas-colored qube card at the end of the color qube segment has been noted!

[@nottelling2976]

15:36 My current favorite is Muddy Ground and shows Desert Sand. :) Wait a minute....

[@johnfarscape]

Slay the grey 😂😂😂😂, that's slang in England for having relations with a much older lady, also known as bagging a Cougar 😂

[@simplyshaws]

Picked up his set for the red grey skin tone. By far in my top 10 paints. Amazing skin tone

[@milgram12]

Pull things out of your pile of shame. I always pull underworlds war bands out and get them as an awesome surprise from my kids. It motivates me to paint them, and the kids are excited to see them when I get them done.

[@MrBenbradford]

Recommend the liquitex inks had never used them before but had seen plenty of vids on them and picked up the white one to try doing runes on a terminator librarian they made them so easy to do, put the white in first then mixed some plasma coil effect from army painter with em went over them and couldnt be happier with the effect, I have since picked 6 more to try different effects with.

[@Winterclaw42]

As someone with a resin printer, the resin I like and isopropyl alcohol are always nice. I've been using the gorilla double sided tape and it's been great, you might want to try it.

[@TheOneIng]

I bought the rgg handle and a few caps, and.. then 3d printed infinite caps. I actually prefer black tac though

[@gachacaspa]

This year im collecting pro acryl set. About 100 pounds or so off until i have whole set after Christmas. 🤣 They have limited reds and oranges so I feel you kinda want all those. As a brand though each set is seperate and no repeat colours other than the starter set. Thats why I chose to give this brand a shot. Next is figuring out how to store these bad boys. Pegboard from ikea and attachments from etsy seem like best choice cant wait to remove the ones built for my gw paints a few years ago as tbh i don't like them that much. Paints fall off and I've isnt even balanced enough to hold pain past the third shelf.

[@ilichbrushstudio]

This is perfect , I just send it to my family group chat😂😂

[@GoufinAround_]

That game envy light is just way too good of a deal and it's upsetting that I bought the redgrass games light before the game envy one came out :/

[@ninjatango]

I really feel this intro speech

[@AttiraKell]

I've asked for a set of villainy inks, though maybe I'll add an ask for some basing texture paste

[@thekeepgames]

Love your content, big fan! I must admit, however, I miss the outtakes at the end of your videos!

[@FakeReallity1]

Where’s the link to the color cube?

[@nikroth]

Ohhh, updates on the scaven lord ! Misa like dat !

[@iam_kredd]

plastic garage sale signs from department stores are a good inexpensive plastic, about $2 for a 9x13 sheet

[@VladimirKharchenko]

Gotta say it: Elfjon!

[@Barry-Sweaty]

Elfton John! You missed it.

[@adamjacobson6665]

I would normally agree with you 100 % about not needing any new models… however I just went through an apartment fire 2 months ago and lost all of my painted armies as well as my entire pile of shame….kinda depressing when I think about it!

[@Vlad_The_Imposter]

The brass sheet: What thickness should I get for making banners and such?

[@crazyvikingboy2856]

Try to not use IPA in an airbrush. It can dry out the gaskets and ruin your seal and destroy the gaskets themselves.

[@dragonet111]

My sister is getting me my 1st good brush pretty nice of her :)

[@fateweaver9844]

Ya'll got some weird families if you think this video is too late for Christmas shopping 😅😅 The second busiest day of the year for shopping is Christmas Eve. December 25th for MOST Americans is considered "too late" but only because big box retailers aren't open that day. 😅😅 Hit up Walmart or Target on Christmas Eve. It's as crazy as Black Friday

[@Barry-Sweaty]

If this is another Temu ad, I am gonna lose my shiz!!! 😂

[@gregbauer2158]

Love the hat

[@janpytalski2572]

what's the lamp you'd recommend? great list, btw.

[@DanteFlint]

Question: Where can I find those color cubes with pictures? They are the only items not linked in the description and on Google I only manage to find ones without pictures. Any help is appreciated 💚

[@Monddwarf]

Thanks!

[@MatthewHardy-q4l]

Nice hat!

[@Cptn_G00SE]

Dang, that's a nice hat.

[@kingkreaghan]

All good ideas.

[@stankshop]

I swear I could hear my wallet cry out "Dear God no!" when I clicked on this.

[@griffenrice2070]

We need more color cube videos!!!

[@andrewliang5401]

god hand has the best sanding sponge

[@byebyebuy]

Really thought you said medals at 6:40 - some awards for nice painting?

[@kyles8707]

Anyone know what pigment powder Jon used in the video during the pigment powder segment? It’s the exact color I’m looking for for my Ironjawz bases.

[@culturewarsdiplomacy]

1:00 dude be honest, Miniac also revealed why models as gifts aren’t the best, business write off.😅

[@jc7997aj]

😔 I've never had enough line items to justify itemizing my taxes.

[@Valandar2]

The pop widget at 10:00 is the most brilliant hobby tip I have gotten in over a decade. I currently own one I got for a buck at 5 Below in the shape of a foot. :D It has 26 bubbles, and since it's silicon, almost no paint sticks at all. And I've found the best quartest of paints to try from a line to get a feel for them are a medium blue, a bright red, either a desaturated green or brown, and the white. This pretty much tends to give you the most and least opacity of the paints, lets you see the finish of the colors, and the quality of the white can often show the worst tier of a given paint line.

[@bubs5278]

where is the link for the color cube?

[@antoniogarcia6737]

Plasticard diamond plate for the win

[@steveisaak4320]

I can't seem to get your code to work for Michigan Toy Soldier... any tips?

[@caiohcoutinho]

Jon, are we ever going to see those massive 3d printed terrain painted or what?

[@forouza1]

Would the tube of heavy body Titanium White paint work well for dry brushing (slap chop)?

[@fateweaver9844]

Don't see why not. Heavy body is super thick. The viscosity of toothpaste so would definitely need to do a few more passes on the paper towel to wipe off excess

[@brother_bear_hobbies]

Dude where was this episode like 2 weeks ago everyone in my family wanted Christmas gift ideas for me and I had none!!! Maybe it isn't too late

[@stevebickel9510]

lol, I JUST got back from Ace, I ran out of sandpaper :)

[@stuartclark1982]

What hobby light do you use Ninjon?

[@wikyWargaming]

I may or may not possess 4 boxes of skulls.

[@Artmesa]

Another infomercial episode

[@tomsteer3485]

On the subject of the artist signature range series from Monument, I have found that your Dark Ivory and Vince’s Payne’s Grey have completely changed the way I paint miniatures as universal highlights / shadows. Also after the brief clip of Vince and you trash talking in his video this week, I once again request a new channel that is just raw Zoom footage of the two of you taking the piss out of each other while painting miniatures. Please make it happen 🫶

[@guardianfail8067]

Am I blind or are the color cubes not in the description

[@jasonjacoby8420]

Where is Daryl???

[@PrimalGemini85]

He’s out Christmas shopping.

[@joshconfer209]

​@@PrimalGemini85for cigarettes and milk...

[@gmpbuilder]

Who you callin' Paint Licker, Paint Licker?

[@6enig]

You wear that hat Jon!

[@jc7997aj]

100% support the purchase of the cube. You can do the same thing 100s of other ways but but hot damn its a nice package all together and will dramatically improve your color decisions. If nothing else but a way to study how colors work together in a tangible manner.

[@valentinjakob1686]

I cant find it! is there a amazon URL? :)

[@jc7997aj]

@valentinjakob1686 no the lady that invented it has her own site. Just Google "Color Cube by Sarah Renae Clark"

[@Paintbetterthan]

I see you ninja man

[@suedennim8985]

I needed this video a month ago when my family asked me what I wanted. Two weeks before Christmas is way too close..

[@darkeshrine]

I asked for a vortex mixer, cause shaking paint bottles is making my carpal tunnel so much worse.

[@mrchoochoohead9033]

how many times have wee seen this video before?

[@mitchthegreat]

#1 Deodorant!

[@creationsofmadness4867]

im just going to save this video and send it to the like -5 people who want to buy me holiday stuff

[@worm1618]

Hey, in case you're not familiar with Remy, here's a video by him that I think you'd enjoy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZXVXnZ7n7Bjo68si=odn2wrmboNGEKo68 He does some wonderful MtG parodies. Happy holidays, brosef.

[@Gryvan415]

As the cheap brother in law I feel called out.

[@DarthTellor]

Did you seriously just make a video telling me to buy myself some tape for Christmas??? Damn, you're right...

[@PaintingWardollies]

A bit late - my wifes already finished the Christmas present shopping

[@robgoldie6565]

Can you please wear jingling bells in every video?

[@zippy5131]

AH!....... Just bought more space ships from Ground Zero games........... More grey to sley...............

[@hungrymatador213]

Hey Ninjon, could you please make a video about the Vallejo Strike? As players who enjoy the hobby we sometimes forget all the workers who labor to make all the games, minis, and paints that make it possible. A private equity firm bought out Vallejo and is hollowing out the company and putting the poor employees at risk. The Vallejo workers just like all the people who make our hobby possible deserve our support and the help of the content creators and influencers who make a living from it to spread the work and stand with them. All the printers, the warehouse workers, manufacturing techs, the paint techs, etc... all of them deserve a fair wage and safe work environment. Really hoping you will make a short video supporting them and sending out the call to all D&D youtubers to do the same. Thanks!
