How Long Does it Take to Paint a Warhammer Army?

Painting Marathon!!! I painted minis for 24 hours straight- And then I kept going! In this video, I captured the ENTIRE process for building and painting this Start Collecting box for Warhammer Age of Sigmar Slaves to Darkness. I got complete timelapse shots of the whole project from multiple angles with a timer running in the background the whole time. They look great and I learned how long it really takes for me to paint a force to get them the way I want.
I did this as part of a charity event for Extra Life. I’ll try to keep a stickied comment on this video with some links to interesting gamer-centric charities.
This is the longest video that I’ve made, by far. I certainly could have edited it shorter, but I’m always experimenting with this stuff. I Can’t discover fun new video formats if I don’t ever try new things :-)

Now do this old soldier a favour and find a Ms. Goobertown! 🤪You did 60 plus hours painting without anyone screaming at you. 🤪. So not fair! Lol! Cheers!

[@GoobertownHobbies]

Hahaha, lemee get a few complete armies on the shelf before I get tied down ;-)

[@Anecron1]

Yeah, I can't wait to hear what happens to that calm, soothing voice once there are 3 kids and a dog in the house while he's trying to paint! For some reason the melting face-scene from Raiders of the lost ark just popped into my mind... =)

[@Lilliathi]

Everyone doing a little bit won't matter at all. We have to get China on board (which is currently a legit fascist country, so good luck) and dispel people's fears of nuclear energy if we ever wanna solve this. Or wait for new technology, but I wouldn't count on that.

[@justanothercaptain6566]

Lilliath , I don’t disagree with a single word you said. I’m Canadian. My Country accounts for less than 2% of the total green house gases in the world. But we need to make minor changes too. If everyone in every country makes little changes it will add up. It has to start somewhere. And I am not for a second suggesting we get rid of our cars or anything of the wall like that. Just small simple changes that everyone can do and slowly build on it.

[@Lilliathi]

@@justanothercaptain6566 I think the little changes are done to make people feel like they're doing something while barely making a dent in the problem. The only thing truly helped by paper straws and windmills are the paper straw and green energy industries.

I just subbed to your channel after being away from the hobby for a decade. Been collecting Tau and revamping my OLD Empire (Oldhammer, they call it now) army. You are like the Bob Ross of Warhammer and I really enjoy the Big Picture experience you provide with details regarding meals, time use, and other logistics and I can't thank you enough for that. Keep up the good work and I'll keep watching and supporting in any way I can.

[@jacobelkins8676]

I absolutely LOVE your attitude! I've been in the hobby for over 20 years. About 8 years ago, I had about $5000 worth of models, terrain, and painting materials stolen from me. Over the past year, I've been slowly been rebuilding my hobby (paints, models, etc.) I'm finally starting to paint again, and it's guys like like you that give me inspiration. Keep fighting the good fight!

[@minitings9489]

If anyone's thinking of grabbing a Kangaroo APC, I can say that on top of being a great cause, it's a great sculpt too! Good on ya Brent!

[@GoobertownHobbies]

Good to know! I actually still haven't pulled the trigger on that one, but now I probably will :-)

[@minitings9489]

@@GoobertownHobbies According to their website, there's a FB page running a painting competition for them. Ends in March, I think I'll give it a crack.

[@nautilusshell6092]

You are an amazing painter! I want to start a Tyranid army but I’m so busy painting a Seraphon army over the last months that I don’t think I will ever get to start a 40K collection. And they don’t look half as good as your minis!

[@GoobertownHobbies]

Hey thanks! What colors are you doing for those two armies? I have tyranids and lizardfolk around here and I can't decide what color to make them, there are so many choices! :-)

[@nautilusshell6092]

Goobertown Hobbies I’m using a normal (box art inspired, kantor blue, sotek green, etc...) color for the saurus warriors but my creatures are getting some real crazy colors. My cold ones are warpstone green, my carnosaur is genestealer purple with deep red scales and a dark purple rim. As for my Slann he is sky blue with a very bright and pale green to make his belly pop out (gauss blaster green, an awesome color). Don’t have a tyranid army yet but I plan to paint them deep red with dark blue or purple

[@GoobertownHobbies]

@@nautilusshell6092 Cool! Yeah as long as the basic troops are a standardized color scheme you can really go nuts on all of the different dinosaurs, that sounds great. I'm actually toying with the idea of making warm color lizards and using goblin green bases... we'll see... :-)

[@nautilusshell6092]

Goobertown Hobbies Can’t wait to see your work!

[@christiancartmale1150]

I got to the point where you were painting armour trim black and as someone who has been plodding away at some nurgle trim, that resonated with me. Chaos armour trim is a chore 🙃

[@GamingMagicMark]

Love the laid-back style and I get my inspiration for painting the minis from this channel, thank you!

[@deboozombie23]

Health advice, when you're sitting for longer periods of time, roughly each hour you should stand up walk around the table, stretch a bit and sit down again, helps blood circulation and avoids thrombosis. That's also for those that are watching !

[@TheDiscoveryCH]

I'd love to see these things more often, they're really enjoyable.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

Right on! :-)

[@TheDiscoveryCH]

@@GoobertownHobbies Naturally it doesn't have to be a 24 hour challenge! But just painting a big boxset with Brent is both fun and soothing whilst painting and the likes.

[@jimmyjimmy7923]

Loved the cat that was always taking a nap . Great paintjob also.

[@nico9161]

You get my subscription this instant. That was a truly awesome and wholesome video to watch. Also, you convinced me to get back to painting minis after a 20-year break. Your Chaos warriors ended up looking great. That fiery yellow looks so vibrant (and I'd say a bit Tzeentchian too). Thank you, from a fellow chemist.

[@DP80s]

All day I've been looking forward to watching this with a glass of wine. I was not disappointed. Great way to end my week. Also, really interesting to hear your scientific input on an important matter.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

Hahahaha, hope you're having a great weekend ;-)

[@joahnaut]

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAAAY

[@GoobertownHobbies]

You and me both! It's been quite a journey :-)

My favourite part of this video (besides the comfy relaxed voice) is the wet palette paper slowly waving through the timelapse :D

But.. WHERE DID YOU BUY THE ROCK

[@GoobertownHobbies]

Sweet rock huh? I gotta start selling these :-)

[@SuperCosmicSpaceMagnet]

@@GoobertownHobbies If you want a show to listen to for your next painting challenge btw I recommend Seattle By Night. Its a D&D type adventure with the folks who run PAX set in a modern vampiric setting. Kept me going during my own painting marathon last weekend!

Damn son I got in here early Good to see you posting. Love your videos

[@GoobertownHobbies]

Excellent timing- and thanks! :-)

[@tylerhutson4687]

This is my first video I have ever seen by you. I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy the content that you make. It just looks like you are having a blast. I just got back into the hobby and your videos gets me excited to start painting my Tau. Please keep up the great work. I am going back to watch the rest of your videos.

[@ezragoldberg3132]

I was sceptical about the chosen color scheme but goddamn, the end results blew me away. You earned another Sub and Like

[@martintaylor570]

Mate, as an Aussie gamer, THANK YOU for such an amazing effort! Charity gaming stuff is really so amazing and you did such an amazing job on these minis too. Well done!

[@BTolputt]

Just got to the end and wanted to say - I very much appreciated the commentary at the end. So many streamers shy away from saying things that might alienate viewers (and let's face it - stating that climate change is a fact does trigger some out there). Big thumbs up from an Aussie who has been watching the effects of climate change upfront and personal down here.

[@ericvogt5460]

Hey, I found your chanel while searching for painting techniques for battleships (nice one youtube algorithm). You flashed me with your calm style of talking and presentation, it is really enjoyable to watch and listend to you :) I also learned from your videos painting techniques and I think you got me now to go minatures as hobby, thank you sir :D

[@GoobertownHobbies]

hey thanks for watching!!! I'm glad the algorithm brought us together 🙂

[@hermestrismegistus2163]

you are a miniature painting superhero. Just wow. So much dedication, determination, energy and passion go into not only assembly/painting but your video production/editing as well. Great work ethic combined with talent, skill and passion combine to make you an awesome person. Steady hands brother.

[@megamanpwn3dmario]

miniac: licks paint brush cat: drink paint water. maybe paint is actually delicious and we're just all fools.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

Time to order up some of those tiny ice cream sampling spoons and give this a try! :-)

[@nadefodder2874]

I have always licked my brushes while painting, it keeps the tips very fine and pointed, the 80`s citadel paints had a slight taste of walnut, now only the sienna and umber colours taste of walnut. I can honestly say that none of the acrylic paints taste disgusting and some are very pleasant.
