I don't know how much I deserve one but I'm about to start a new army for the 1st time in over 15 years and all help is appreciated 👍

[@thechaoticknightpainter4549]

I am trying to get to the next notch of painting and I feel that a airbrush would help because I admire what you do. I am a student in high school and looking at your minis makes me strive to become better at painting. Also your sponsors make me jump to tell my dad “hey check this out this would be a good mini for one of your d &d campaigns. I paint my dads minis for him as well. I am currently working on some chaos space marines and stormcast eternals. I also got to see my friend for the first time in person in 6 months! Your paint schemes are awsome btw! Thanks, The Chaotic Knight Painter

I don’t deserve one but my friend does. He’s just started painting. He’s a teacher who has worked through the pandemic and deserves some love

I hope this wins!

[@GKfromCanada]

Squidmar! I turn 60 years old in June and have been painting minis for over half a century! I have learned more about painting minis from you in the last year than all the previous 50 years combined! This airbrush will allow me to leave behind a legacy of top-notch artwork for my sons (both of whom paint minis and one looks just like Harry Potter/Lucas) to talk about with reverence long after I'm gone! AND, they will have to treat me nice to find out to who I bequeath this fine tool! Make an old man happy...

[@GKfromCanada]

My birthday is June 21…just saying! 🤣

[@Troll200000]

My girlfriend and I made a deal that I can't buy new figurines until I painted all my old ones. Without an airbrush that won't be possible.

I’m a therapist and paint minis to decompress after long days of helping individuals, couples, and families feel better. Having an airbrush would help so much with getting things basecoated! Regardless of whether I win, thanks so much for the content - it’s sincerely wonderful and it’s been a joy watching you experiment with filming techniques and working with cool people! Take care!

[@RoninLife]

A good friend of mine reached out to me when I was at a low point during the early lockdowns of the pandemic. He rekindled my love of mini-painting, which resulted in my return to this great “at home” and stress-relieving artistic expression of a hobby we all know and love. Even introduced me to Squidmar (& Miniac & Guy @ MWM & Brent “Goobs” & Ninjon & Sam & Vince...) just for good measure! He recently had to pass on picking up a Harder & Steenbeck airbrush he’s wanted for some time due to recent pandemic related financial issues. This would be a great surprise & thank you gift to repay him for putting a little more color in my world by putting more in his. I’ll even record the box opening & ensuing nerd screams for everyone to enjoy!

I need an airbrush to repaint my childhood army for the kids.

[@euansmith3699]

I was expecting this paint job to be something along the lines of, "Base Colour and a Wash". Seeing all that amazing blending popped my tender skull. Those 80s' Dark Eldar are totally rad to the maxx.

[@jimmyjims9548]

I have a earthbrush, firebrush, and waterbrush.....all I need now is an airbrush!

[@zoogoo404]

One of my friends deserves an airbrush. I've already got one; but my friend just started getting into painting properly recently. Dude's a veteran, works at a youth camp for troubled teens, and saddest of all; he's a nid player.

[@warcrier2588]

Im blown away by these Drukhari. I recently started painting a Synthwave inspired set of guys myself, and its a warmer orangey yellow take from purple. Amazing job!

[@espenpettersen504]

I'm hardly as good of a boi as Miniac, but if I got an airbrush I'd dedicate it to my whole hobby group (currently 5 people and growing) and set it up so everyone gets to use it when they need to. Already donated my kitchen to the cause, so why not just..one..more..tool. GL to everyone :)

[@guyprobably4108]

The air in my house has been moaning throughout lockdown "mehhhh.. brush me.. you never brush me anymore" etc etc I would love to treat it to a good brushing someday

[@joshuahodges9137]

I've been painting minis for a year now. During this year, I've taken your advice and got a wet pallate, learned to thin my paints (from you), and bought an FDM AND a resin printer! An airbrush would be an amazing addition to this addiction you've gotten me hooked on!

[@jamesfirkins5149]

You already got me to start using wet palettes. Now I deserve an airbrush so I can fully pretend to be a professional miniature painter

[@SthMejin]

I want that airbrush to become a next level Swedish painter like Squidmar. -me, who is not Swedish, we'll figure that part out later.

[@begsontoast]

"I deserve an airbush" because my imaginary dog ate my imaginary airbrush. He's actully eaten about five now and between the vet bills and new airbrushes it's getting really imaginary expensive

I've never been much of an artist, but watching your videos has inspired me and helped me go well beyond the limits I thought possible.

My father's boyfriend passed away 13 years ago. Since, my bf is a fan of Warhammer 40k. He Took the old figurines of his father and explain to my the world of Warhammer 40k. And now, I'm proud to say that I found a new hobby to share with my love one and to exchange a hobby he could have shared with his dad. We actually just started our new armies and a Airbrush is just what I need to add to my painting skills. Please Squidmar, we need this airbrush, and btw, keep doing the amazing job you do we love your videos! 🤘 (Hi from Montreal 😉)

[@pabruva]

Just discovered your channel a few days ago. Been 10+ years since I left the hobby but you awesome guys from the yootoobs made me come back to it. Thanks

My brother recently got me back into painting miniatures. I played 40K in high school and I was so scared to paint that I usually only did a few models and then played unpainted :'( now he's teaching me all the techniques and showed me to your channel Squidmar! Now I watch your videos every day and I'm learning so much, I've bought a tonne of Warhammer Underworlds warbands/starter boxes and even picked up 1500 points of Necrons :D An airbrush would help me learn even more and save me a tonne of costs on primers and open the door to totally new ways to highlight! Thanks for the opportunity!

I need an airbrush to speed up my painting, the pile of shame is takeing over...

[@marcuscolello]

I am getting back into painting miniatures and an airbrush would be an amazing addition to my tool kit. I am working on a career change into the 3d modeling and game design industry and would love to start learning to airbrush my minis that I print on my 3d resin printer. Unfortunately I have not had as much time to hand paint minis lately and I have been informed learning to airbrush can really speed up productivity. Thank you so much for all of your videos!

[@swhitt4367]

I just started warhammer painting in lockdown to get over RSI, I just love painting! Never had the chance to play yet, but after lockdown I cant wait!!! Hope I can get a airbrush to start painting even more!

[@pixelprimitive3162]

The format of this video was heaps of fun. Great looking finished product!

[@shrikeshaw5490]

I would like an air brush so that I can paint the cadre fireblade that way grandpa gave to me shortly before he passed away. He was incredibly passionate about supporting all our families passions, in my case it was miniatures painting. I turned up at his house one day and out of the blue he passed me this small parcel with a cadre fireblade inside (a model I had been talking with him about). However a couple days after giving me this model he passed away peacefully in his sleep. That small gesture in my opinion perfectly incapsulates who he was as a person, someone who put others dreams and aspirations before him. Since then I have been nervous to paint this model as I want to make it as professional as I can and in my own way, honour his memory with it 🙂 Thanks - Shrike

[@Kubodeawa]

I am getting started in airbrushing and went for a cheap airbrush and decided to invest more money in a good compressor, to be less noisy and avoid getting kicked out of my house by my wife. With very little use the compressor broke while in guarantee. The motor axis was gripped. Because of the problems with deliveries when Covid lockdowns started, instead of getting me send the malfunctioning compressor, they sent me a KZbin link with some instructions to repair it myself, and they promised to give me some money back as compensation. It costed me a whole morning but I managed to fix it... but never saw a compensation from their side, and they just ignore my mails now. Eventually I decided to let it slip and don't start airbrushing in a bad mood. And now, you have the opportunity of really making me happy and set me up for a promising future of pro miniature painting :))) I literally sweat for the cause! And by the way, I collect Drukhari, I know how detailed those models are, and dude... respect!

[@DragonaxFilms]

Love the editing and camera work on this, the trick photography really adds a lot of visual interest to the video!

[@avengelyne1337]

Your Tau Army Video and Goobertown Hobbies Airbrush Video convinced me, that I need an Airbrush, I'm already saving for one !!

[@Ibis_T]

I think it would be really cool to have the air brush. My buddy and I are talking about going in together to get one so this could benefit not only me but him also. We both are new with painting and are just really enjoying it. With the way the world is today we feel as though this is the only way we really get to relax it is so enjoyable. Thanks for all the tips to helping me learn!

[@robinsonjp1]

I started 40k when was 11. Now 23 I had not picked up my models since I was about 16, over lockdown I’ve been painting and getting back into it. Airbrushing wasn’t really a thing back when I started and would love to try bring new life to my old models. Thanks for the consideration!

[@sackjavage6959]

I’d absolutely love one because I’m starting to enjoy painting more then actually playing games. And a Airbrush would help me progress massively

[@HereForTheHeresy]

I would love one of those airbrushes! Reason: I've been painting so much that I've become a commission painter in less than a year in the hobby! I have a poopy amazon airbrush and I really want to upgrade! Squidmar, it's not a plug or anything but you can see my stuff at SpartanMinis on Etsy. I'm very proud of how far I've come in the last year and it's all because of you and other channels like yours that I even got into the hobby. I haven't played a single game of Warhammer yet and already painted well over 100 minis. Not to mention, I feel so grateful for all the knowledge that you specifically have given us. I've watched your master class like 10 times and am going to buy the bust and brushes to step up my game lol. Bonus! If you send one to Miniac then you can send both brushes to Minnesota haha!

[@joelkirk9]

I'd love the airbrush because I've always wanted to try out some advanced techniques to improve my painting!

[@ASpace_Otter]

Watching you and a friend crank this out in a day is really inspiring! I have a whole Indomitus Box that I want to paint but nursing school is taking up so much time. A new airbrush would really help me get it done with what little free time I have!

[@MGPW]

I decided, after more than a year, to start painting again, and began with the various Dark Eldar/Drukhari I have. So I largely used the colour scheme in this, but with a few changes here and there. It wasn't as good as the professional quality results here, but I was pleased with the results - I need to get my skills back up and "actually painting, not just buying things and looking at the box" is how to do it. So thanks for showing this cool scheme.

[@manuelhernandezmartin4051]

One of those H&S airbrush will be great to renotave my olod one that its starting to get older and tired of spitting paint on my minis. Thanks for your work and inspiration in the hobby.

[@AJBunBun]

I started painting in Oct and have loved the hobby. I only use synthetic brushes and am currently working on my Nighthaunt army. I would love an airbrush to improve my gradient on my ghostly bois.

[@carlmorrison3312]

I have worked hard through out the pandemic and have been trying to paint a bit more again and could really use an airbrush to get through some of my back log of models . Thanks for the chance

[@heyhenkie1567]

Please more start collecting videos! Gotta paint 'em all, Squidmar!

[@krazykukoo6078]

I've recently gotten much more into the painting side than playing, and would love an airbrush to improve and diversify what I can do and try (plus painting mortys wings without one is a paint...)

[@BusketRVA]

Hi Squidmar, I've been watching your channel for about a year now ever since the start of this damn pandemic. I started because like many folks on here I started playing Warhammer again after 22+ years and got my kids into it as well. Also like many folks all over the world I have been laid off for almost a year and have had a lot of time to try and improve my painting skills. I'm still trying and one day I may actually come close to being ok at painting these minis....at least I hope so. Regardless it helps me focus and stay sane during this crazy time. While I desperately want an airbrush and I know my daughter would love one as well I think that maybe one day after I find a new job Ill hopefully be able to buy us one sometime in the future. I just rewatched your video about giving the Tau army to the guy who sold his and now Im inspired to do something kinda like that. Instead of asking for an airbrush for myself Id like to pass it to someone else. If I am a selected winner I'd like to give my win to the commenter named Pete Brett. I do not know him but read his comment about his friend and I think he should get the airbrush (or his friend or both).Thanks for doing this Squidmar and keep up the amazing work and the inspiration.

[@jacksonfitzgerald2803]

I'm saving at the moment for my first airbrush. Really excited to get started regardless of whether I win, or buy my own.

[@Mr_Feyshade]

I deserve an airbrush because, I am a single father of an autistic child that refuses to participate in any post-graduation activities (due to anxiety). I've been researching mini-painting as an activity to get him out of his room, and be part of a community (we have family members that are into mini-painting and tabletop gaming). I have started collecting supplies and bought my first minis yesterday (the old space wolves 10-mini box). I am hoping that by showing him how much fun it is, that he will be inspired to participate. Even if I don't win an airbrush I want to thank you, because of your "You don't have to be great at your hobby" video. It inspired me (and hopefully my son) to paint. Honestly, he's not good at "peopling".

[@arrowskee4414]

I've never had an airbrush! But I'd love to try one to see if I can get some saucy blends on my minis!

[@plok037]

About to start painting custodes and necrons my first 2 armies. And as I am geting into this majestic hobby I am seeing all of good things that airbrush can do. So I need ona to make it my own, my precious...

[@gavinnoble8520]

Ah nice, I just picked up the old SC box. Thanks for the inspirational colour scheme and the purple shading effect looks great on both the armour and skin to tie each whole model together.

[@johnpierce1706]

New studio looks fantastic. If I’d get that airbrush I’d get back into painting altogether. It’s been 20 years and I’m on the edge of getting back into it. Dark elf fantasy and chaos 40k were my collection. Always hand painted. Never had an airbrush

[@shygun3549]

I’ve just hit my one year mark on starting my painting journey! I started with Star Wars legion and moved onto warhammer soon after! I would love an airbrush to be able to move onto to the next level of painting and try out an airbrush! Looks like you can do some awesome things with it.

[@TheKearth]

I'm nurse and I have so much stress on my head and I love painting in my free time it's take my mind into peacefull place.

[@rogthepirate4593]

A good buddy of mine has recently expressed an intense desire to get back into the hobby (he was forced to give it up years ago when he was still a teen due to numerous issues, crippling, clinical depression among them). I'd love one of these fine tools as a gift to him (together with some older warhammer models I found on ebay, which I know he absolutely loved) - as I already have an airbrush and he tells me he always wanted one but could never afford it.

[@mikeszymanski6750]

i am just getting started with painting minis. I am in the process of collecting all of the tools and equipment I need to get going. This would help with initial setup costs.

[@Robbinio2]

Started the D&D campaign I’m DM-ing online. Imagine the look on the adventurers faces when we can all get back together for sessions and they get a lovely painted mini, with a wealth of enemy minis to do-battle with! :D The dream is real . . .

[@detailfanatics7450]

Having moved recently to a new place that doesn't have a good outdoor area for priming minis with spray paint, I'd love an air brush so I can get a great setup in my new place that will allow me to prime, base, and paint my Dark Eldar army to it's fullest potential.

[@bionicgeekgrrl]

Those drukhari look amazing. Great work. As for airbrush, one would be wonderful, I haven't been able to justify the expense of getting a decent one so far, so getting one would be amazing.

[@rotmirerob]

I deserve an airbrush because while I am nowhere near being ready to use one, I have a very good friend who lead me down the Warhammer road last year, and I think he deserves a painting upgrade. He regularly impresses me with his talent and creativity, especially when it comes to handmade bases.

[@BeardedBear13]

Id like the air brush as I have always wanted to start my painting process with one and maybe I can if I get one!

[@corbiedeadpool3427]

Deserve? Perhaps not. I'm still using an ancient old Humbrol one I got 20 years ago and runs on disposable cans....so sure Id *like* it. As an aside I've really enjoyed your stuff over the past year or so- I find watching your stuff makes me paint more :-) Cheers for that!

[@billywayne5671]

Just finished painting my starter box of Intercessors and would love an airbrush to paint my next larger box, the Start Collecting: Astra Militarum set. It would be put to use for many friends/family who are new to warhammer.

[@dallinmills8355]

I am new to the hobby and have been learning to airbrush for just a couple of weeks, I could sure use a great airbrush to make headway on my first army!

[@dzsinksz]

I totally don't deserve an airbrush. However, I was absolutely planning to buy one, maybe next month, to speed up my painting process. I also love this video, really cool to see this kind of approach to use sort of a "minimalist" palette selection with high contrast to create something that looks good on the tabletop.

[@alexc3384]

I'd love an airbrush, I've been painting minis for a few years now and feel like I'm ready to take my first steps towards putting together an airbrush set up, especially to help speed up painting some of the larger models I have sitting on my shelf ready to paint.

[@andyswarbrick7452]

Amazing work, love the colours and blends on these. Not sure I’ve got the brush skills but a H+S airbrush would certainly help. These top airbrush could take my average painting to the next level. Loving your work, keep it up.

[@rurou6654]

That's just straight up magic! I can't even do an even basecoat with a brush if I dont work on it for hours upon hours. I suspect some background in illustrations and/or digital art also might be an ace in the hole for such color designs.(And a lot of practice...)

[@whitesugar7519]

Hi , im a very big fan of your dark eldar work ! Where can i find more picture of how you painted them ! And how will you paint a raider in this color :)
