Super appreciative of your honesty with the whole process, I can’t imagine the stresses of a deadline to showcase your paint job with GW. The model looks amazing and it clearly shows that you put your blood, sweat, and tears into it (that’s pretty Slaaneshy right there). Great model. Great video. Great guy. Thank you for all of your hard work!

[@yellheahtris]

Dave, your work on this is absolutely exceptional. The results speak for themselves and your skill to get this done to the staggering quality that you have. I’ve always appreciated your honesty very much. I’m continually proud of you, and the channel for making such strong connections and making the impressions that you have with your work - but being transparent about the struggles, and genuine complaints about the hobby is something I trust you so much to deliver. You aren’t trying to sell us these massive products at an extreme price range - you’re selling us someone to sit with at the painting table and to hang out with. Your personality and charisma is something that makes TTT stand out so much. The quality of the model is surprising - and I wouldn’t believe you if you hadn’t mentioned otherwise. You are a phenomenal painter and a comforting presenter/personality. I hope you got some time to rest after this monster, but I think I know better : ) Much love 💙

[@Smallgoth]

I feel like you're underselling your paintjob here, the volumes and textures are all really amazing, especially on the skin and scales

[@magnusmillerwilson]

I’m glad this person beat me to it. Dave, your paint job is amazing and I aspire to it. Be happy with your work without comparing it to Golden Demon winners or aspirants. As someone with a day job (me), there’s no way a ‘normal’ person with a job of any kind can hit these shit dates. Thanks for being honest and real. It’s good to see behind the curtain. Cheers, mate. You’re awesome.

[@ralorieth6858]

This video was super down to earth, I’d love to see you guys take a week or two out and make a video where you, Jen and Murray get to just paint to the best of your standards and make a mini you guys are super proud of! Truly an amazing job btw dave I hope you’re proud of fulgrim

[@joshmortimer3433]

Agreed.

[@finnastle7499]

Agreed

[@ErebosGR]

I disagree. Perfectionism is a toxic mindset, not a healthy one, and it shouldn't be encouraged, not for the TTT team, nor for the viewers.

[@Sturmensky]

I don't think it's about perfectionism as much as taking time to really show off one's skill. When you're doing videos with TTT's frequency, it's inevitable that there are times speed/expedience will trump painting to one's full ability or fully enjoying the process - possibly a lot of the time. So taking the extra time to use one's full skillset isn't toxic nor perfectionistic. Put another way: it's one thing for me to take my time and all my knowledge to paint a mini (using my fancy technical paints, sponges, etc. blending to the point I know I can). It's another to obsess over every little flaw (e.g., repeatedly redoing said blends, or even stripping the model, over a minor imperfection or two)@@ErebosGR

[@ErebosGR]

@@Sturmensky You clearly don't understand the creative process. Ask any artist and they'll tell you "A work of art is never complete; only abandoned." Musicians, especially, know this very, very well. First you say "painting to one's full ability" or "using one's full skillset", but then you say that mistakes are allowed So they're not painting to their full ability. That's why "challenges" like that are a toxic slippery slope. A mini can take 1 hour, 10, 100 or 1000 hours to paint. It's never complete. Knowing when to stop, so they can put out 2-3 videos per week is healthy. Painting a mini for months, like Golden Demon competitors do, is not healthy.

I gotta say all the effort that you Dave and the entire Tabletop team puts in is phenomenal. Your videos have always been creatively inspiring and part of the reason I am getting into painting. Keeping to deadlines is stressful, but this mini is something else and looks beautiful. You've got great skill there Dave. Thank you all for sharing this journey with us. The honesty and integrity you have shown is humbling and much appreciated. I know what it's like trying to balance keeping customers and the higher ups happy without compromising on your beliefs and I have got to acknowledge how well you have handled it. I really appreciate your openness and that you give constructive criticisms rather than just stating an issue without suggesting solutions. I've seen some of the team's work in person at The House of War. Your Titan graveyard board is amazing and unlike anything I have ever seen before. It's was really fun seeing all the details you all put into it. It's something I look forward to playing on someday. There are plenty of brilliant painters on KZbin for the Warhammer community but you all bring such a positive energy that make you especially fun to watch. Just know that we really appreciate all the work you all put into these videos. Whether it is what Jazza does behind the scenes running the show and the whole team of Jen, Dave and Murray presenting and making these minies and videos. Take care everyone, we love what you do. And again Dave, your hard work paid off. I prefer your painting of Fulgrim over the original, it looks great!

[@TheGreytinator]

Even though this broke you, and I totally get the burnout after putting your all into a paint job like this, Dave, you should be extremely proud of yourself for what you’ve accomplished. This is an extremely beautiful piece of art that you’ve made, and I for one am so very impressed. Good job, don’t beat yourself up for the time you spent on it, and get some well deserved rest, you’ve very much earned it.

I am constantly shocked that Forgeworld kits, the most expensive things GW sells going into the high hundreds to thousands of dollars, are also the worst packaged, routinely come broken, warped, and missing parts, and take hours of prep time to get them in a state you can assemble. Yet somehow they've convinced a significant subset of their audience, that this is a sign of how "advanced" you are.

You can't let Forgeworld get a pass just because they're supposed to be "high effort" kits. If you look at the gunpla kits that are around the same price, $270 usd, and they don't have issues with packaging or all of the pieces being in the box should anything have been broken off

[@moggyd5822]

He spent from 3:20 to around 5:05 highlighting those exact issues and more. Briefly mentioning "You have to expect a level of high effort, however..." doesn't negate what he said before and after that.

[@invalidcreations]

Not defending GW/FW's practices here but it's worth noting the volume of sales from Forgeworld Compared to Bandai Namco's Gunpla is probably hundreds to thousands of times different

[@Fru1tSamura1]

Part of the issue is how the parts are made in comparison to gunpla. Gunpla is a super high quality injection mold where as forge world uses resin 3d printers. The quality of each is vastly different purely for how they have to be attached to a rail system. That being said the packaging absolutely could have been better. Maybe slotted into molded cardboard them put into a better designed box.

[@lorinolsen6094]

So awesome to see something that you were able to put so much effort into. It came out amazingly. Sorry it took so much out of you, but it is truly inspiring to see how great a job you can do when you have the time and can do your best.

[@BlackBirdFactories]

This was such an amazing paint job. And it feels so much more based in the reality of the hobby then most paint job videos I see where everything is working out perfect. Especially with models that I really care about, I find myself drained up in all the work I put myself up to just because I was hyped about it and really wanted to give it the perfection it deserves, and as a consequence I drain 300% of my available energy over days or weeks, and in the end instead of appreceation it always feels like a chore, and a battle I am happy to find the way out of.

[@thehighlander8322]

I’ve changed a couple years ago to painting Gundam Kits. The complexity, quality of the plastic and technical designs is just amazing. Building the high detailed ‘Real Grades’ and the (post 2011) ‘Master Grades’ are just amazing to build, they are complex yet designed so well that building is fun and satisfying. The plastic quality and the assembly proces is just miles ahead of what you get from GW, for just fraction of the price. I recently started a Warhammer project again and the price I had to spend on the miniatures left a nasty aftertaste. I hope GW will step up their game as i can not escape the feeling I got ripped off, and this really takes away from the pleasure of the hobby experience.

[@optiondezzo1513]

forgeworld stuff are basically garage kits. but i have worked on garage kits from Japan and China that are half the price and double the quality of FW stuff.

[@peterkallend5012]

I bought 2 Tau Tigersharks with the heavy railguns a long time ago. Not only were the main guns warped, they were broken in a way that made it impossible to put together and not have it look janky (resin shards and splinters in so many places you couldn't hide the brakes). The burst cannons were warped (each has 4 tiny barrels that if they aren't perfectly aligned with each other they look obviously messed up). Even the main body of one of the models was deformed in a way that I had to excavate a large portion of sculpted resin just to fit the railgun in its slot before resculpting the part I had to destroy. I knew I'd have to do a bit of advanced modeling, but destroying large chunks of a vehicle just to fit it together was kind of stupid. I do resin 3d printing, so I know how hard it is to get the resin to cure and have decent dimensional accuracy, but they're using resin molds that are, in theory, always dimensionally correct. These beautiful models were so poorly made that I never got to use them in a game and was never able to get them to a state where I felt proud to show them off. I spent nearly 2 months trying to repair the damage, and reached the point of no longer giving a shit. That experience permanently soured my view of FW to the point where I didn't trust them enough ever but another of their models.

[@odpieces]

Beyond the fact that you have painted an utterly gorgeous model, I have such a massive amount of respect for how you tackled this. You're honest about the downsides but it's clearer than ever before how much you love the hobby and how everything you say comes from a place of really wanting the best for everyone.

Your concerns about the WH community article are actually a really good point in microcosm. When you stop painting for yourself and start painting for a deadline it sucks the joy out of the process. Fulgrim is a model you were clearly hyped about but it’s sad to see the issues with P&P and stress with the WarCom deadline kill your buzz. I think you did a great job with the mini and TTT is probably as visible a platform as WarCom anyway!

[@TheLewisesc]

Heroic effort on this model! I hope you feel as proud as i am in awe of the final reveal. Phenomenal job!

[@DaKdawg]

One of the big questions I get asked in my painting adventure is "Why don't I receive commissions?". This is the answer. In between just a regular job and painting the hobby for me, the freedom I have and not putting a ton of deadlines onto it, keeps me coming back to the hobby. I don't even play the game anymore, I'm just really enthralled with painting the models and coming up with new techniques with all the paints that are out there and new color schemes(about all the time I have for it these days). You did a tremendous job on cleaning up the model. I've only heard stories of the rumored Forge world kits and after the initial excitement, you can really go off the deep end in how to execute how you'll construct and paint and that really wears you down. Also glad to hear another happy Scale 75 user out there. I love their paints. The best thing you can do is diversify and find which works best so not being entrenched in Games workshop colors is refreshing. Cheers, glad to see the prince of perfection demanded so much in return. Looks really fantastic. I miss the old days when I could paint nonstop into the wee hours of the morning. Keep on keeping on.

[@haikuheroism6495]

Hey I just want you to know, you three at TTT are some of my biggest painting inspirations and I respect the hell out of your for putting the effort into this model that you felt it needed. I spent an entire day a couple days ago painting a single marine (first marine I've ever painted) and I don't even like how it turned out so I'm probably going to strip him. But if I didn't watch your videos and understand just how good painting can be I probably wouldn't and just accept it being bad. Y'all push me to be better so thank you. Anyway, Fulgrim looks amazing as all of your stuff does, I can't wait to see you paint Exodus as I'm a huge fucking Alpha Legion nerd.

I feel like you need a long sleep, some warm hugs and a cosy fire after this one! I know content is important to creators - I just don't think it should come at the expense of your health and mental wellbeing. Even with a pre-release or release day; I think the majority of TTT's fans would be just as (if not more) happy waiting for you to finish it in your own time rather than have you go through the mental and physical health stress trying to fit a deadline.

Knocked it out the park. That looks superb. Great job!

[@Crabbers_paints]

Really awesome paint job mate, one to be proud of for sure! Great Job!

[@danyael777]

Awesome work mate. I really love that marble too, turned out great.

[@ABR4CAD4BRA]

I think this is one of the best paintjobs you have done on the channel. See you in Tacticus, Guild Leader!

Great work man the blue on the skin was definitely a amazign touch. The time i think falls under trying to avoid early spoilers but i do understand it sucks u cant take your time on their products

No creator worth their salt would leak GW deliberately. Makes no sense to break your NDA and destroy your reputation permanently for what? some reddit clout? Who cares. I bet almost all leaks are from low low level GW employees or people up and down the manufacturing and postal chain with a passing familiarity with warhammer

Now that is the Phoenician done well! You are a fantastic artist sir. Hats off to you!

Great work on this, thank you for sharing your journey with us

You've done an amazing job Dave. Honestly, if you did decide to have an Emperor's Children army... This would be an absolute Unit to have on the table. Its painted to such an amazing extent that even just having Tabletop Standard minis around it would make it look flawless.

Top job Dave! Pouring heart and soul into a model under time pressure? Jeez-louise! Your efforts are certainly appreciated mate! =D

[@varggaming6449]
