[@drpenny9844]

Dr Penny time! Woo, I'm finally relevant. It's probably median nerve given the distribution, like carpal tunnel if your wrist is irritated. Can test by tapping on the inside of the wrist, or flexing the wrist for 30 seconds, and seeing if it makes the fingers feel worse. You could try splinting it at night and see if that helps, but can take about 6 weeks. May have irritated the nerve further up the arm though! Sure it'll be fine xoxo

[@Larrotino86]

Miniac, never listen to the doctors on the internet. Everybody know that if your wrist is in pain, you're gonna die! Dr.Google said me so. (Sorry dr.penny! I could not miss this chance!) XD

[@Zagrantha]

Splinting and a NSAIDs definitely help with it! Story time with a random stranger on the interwebs, because I'm still dealing with a similar issue caused by painting. It's been 2 weeks since I went for a 50 hour paint session over the course of 3 days to paint Russ. Workplace doctor diagnosed tendonitis and prescribed NSAIDs last week, told to get rechecked by a orthopedist for CTS if it persisted for more than 2 weeks. Also been told not to work during that time (I'm a Design Engineer), which sadly is not a possibility. -Scott, if you read this, know that you're insane for doing that without sleeping, and please get that hand checked. Those minis won't paint and the videos will not edit themselves! Adries van der Wiljk, thanks for reminding me those existed, I need to go and find mine now. =)

[@squidmaster1297]

The whole time I was watching this, that's what i was thinking lol. "This will 100% cause hand problems and is awful to do." But hey, youtube's a spectacle.

[@MidwinterMinis]

Scott, you are legit a vampire.

[@happy_456]

Ayyy 100k subs

[@Tired.Goblin]

Have a nice day

[@veekleek7535]

Midwinter, you started this challenge on the back of a one week ork painting slog though.

[@honzabalak3462]

Midwinter Minis Well, the lesson is: "learn to expect unexpected".

[@quarantinegaming1633]

Hows the 100k

[@GoobertownHobbies]

Well... You certainly painted longer than either of us hahahaha, congrats. Frickin awesome video, I'm hitting replay immediately.

[@Tired.Goblin]

Have a nice day

[@neoacidcreep]

I'm not saying miniac cheated by priming and basecoating the night before ... But miniac cheated by priming and basecoating the night before!

[@jakartor4186]

SPOILERRRR

[@zandydandy4642]

Absolutely loved this collab!!! Thank you guys for getting together and doing such an awesome challenge!

[@clockworkpanda8]

Wait no one told miniac he could sleep like the goobs video

[@celtins3570]

Legend still says goober is still there in Scott's closet.

[@Winterydee]

Also Jeremy of BMC lives in the pantry just drinking all of the maple syrup!

[@blacktemplar5970]

I heard he came with the house

[@OrrgunUK]

I love it when strange men in my closet share their little sacks of treats :D

[@TN-ci4ox]

Sadly my closet is too small for strange men

[@Caradepato]

I love it how the others in the challenge talk in this positive tone and about how they feel better then expected, and then Scott just looks like he is going to die. I am most similar to Scott.

[@milgram12]

Scott: I don’t enjoy the process of painting Also Scott: I’m going to paint for 38 hours straight. Great video, and in case there was any doubt before, you truly are the miniac! Good luck with the rest of the Army.

[@devildriverrule111]

Meanwhile midwinter minis is like "I painted a quarter of a million squillion models in 21 minutes and 44 seconds."

[@keeganrothlisberger8019]

Yah Miniac won by a pretty wide margin and yet got a lot less done than the rest lol

[@MrStatistx]

Doctor: "If you paint 1 more mini now, you won't be painting ever again with this hand." Scott: "But my eeegoooooo!!!!"

[@masterqw1]

As someone who's painted a whole Bretonnian army of horses in the span of 2 years, I can honestly relate with your hatred of painting horses lol.

[@bertjebever]

"Don't cut me off, intro!" I dislike how much your silly jokes make me giggle. It doesn't matter how dad-joke they get, they seem to get me every time. Thanks for the content, I always love seeing cooperations between my favourite channels.

[@larrymanns364]

I love the creepy Brent Goblin living in your closet. Gave me a good chuckle.

[@EternalQuestion]

Guy painted an incredible amount of models to a great tabletop standard. Brent painted almost as many and then gave them all away for a charity auction. Scott only painted a few, but they looked incredible and what kind of absolute beast do you have to be to paint minis for 38 hours?! I think they all won in their own ways.

[@ScratchBashing]

0:27 Guys! It's Brent! *He's doing the Brent Smile*

[@maxxammax0]

Love how all the minitubes seem to know each other.

[@YGOrochi]

It's a rather small, close knit community, it's kinda nice like that. 😁

[@pkawesome6230]

Me too! It's like the people I love love each other too. It's awesome

[@custodianguard749]

Its my favorite part really as it really helps give a great feeling of community.

[@noamtepper456]

Love the midwinter minis cameo!

[@unclewyrmwood]

Subscribed to all three of you. Loved the video, Scott, now onto Guy's, and then Brent

[@theanimaster]

Omg... when that camera cut to the closet doors I knew what was coming yet that was still so stupidly hilarious 🤣 Also, I shouldn’t be laughing so loud when everyone else in the house has yet to wake up...

[@ooShiGuyoo]

" 'Merica!!! " -Scott's Blood Knights 2020

[@ELITESrBAMOFOS945]

Make Sylvania Great Again

[@biobasher]

You might've caused some carpal tunnel damage on the inner elbow if it's those fingers so make sure to give it a proper rest

[@TimmyJEuchida]

i don't know how you and brent got the intro filmed with a straight face, couldn't stop laughing for about 10 mins after that

[@legweg1149]

Please continue these miniature painting extended universe, this is Epic. 1) we see creators we love together 2) it's challenging 3) we discover new awesome content creators PAINT MORE MINIS

[@toversnoleu8769]

I can't stop smiling after the: "I'm going to do a good job... 10 sec later Screw that its crunch time!!!" I love this uncensorred madness! Keep it up!

[@finkmonkeyful]

Okay, I love this video for so many reasons. A big reason is for people to see how much time it can take to paint minis. There are a lot of non-painters that think we can paint minis is no time, or just use an airbrush and all is quick and easy. Well done Miniac!

[@Winterydee]

Finally finished watching all 3 videos and here is my opinion. I will say the following for all 3 of you... Best cause for painting their Army - Brent of Goobertown Hobbies for painting all the rank & file troops of a Blood Angel's army for a charity raffle fund raiser to support cancer research. Best overall painting of a single unit in the army - Scott of Miniac. But when you spend 24 hours, or more, painting a single unit in a ARMY painting challenge it should be the one winning this award. Winner - Guy of MWM. Painted the most minis in the shortest amount of time to above tabletop ready standards. Also he was still able to walk and play with his dog twice while doing so, such a good fur baby father he is!

[@theibault]

The best part is the time lapse. Watching your posture get worse and worse, shoulders slouched, sinking into your chair as you start to resemble a weird mini painting Gollum. ;) My precious highlights indeed.

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

duuuuuud... 38 hours? There is no way I could ever. Man. Im already exhausted thinking about it. Well done Scott!

[@m4dmax_gameing508]

These calab videos with ninjon, goober and guy are just the best content all our favourite hobbiest getting together. Thank you Scott and to rest of the guys

[@crowythebutcher6127]

such a quality compliment for goober that man genuinely makes me happy it’s incredible how good of a vibe his videos have

[@ZombieApocalypse09]

The blood knights look fantastic! As do the dogs! Looking forward to seeing the completed army. Well done, Scott. You truly are a miniature maniac.

[@brandonlemley7462]

Love the Born of Osiris hoodie!

[@atkmonkey]

I'm glad the conversions got some love. Both videos were epic.

[@danielkearney1815]

Scott, I'm an old man and 38 hour marathons of anything short of napping are well beyond me. It was a pleasure not to be the person doing the challenge. Great video as always!

[@mackthebrush]

Don't leave us hanging. How much paint did you consume?

[@WorldsofTeranel]

Not as much as Gawx

[@VIKINGRAGEQUIT]

I would respectfully argue that WarhammerCrendor is the Bob Ross of miniature painting

[@r0cky0v]

I want a video on how you painted the horns on the back of the horses legs. That would be comedic gold.

[@wezab]

I watched all three videos and literally all three of you got a win. Guy painted the most minis to a table top standard in the least amount of time. Brent set a decent standard on a worthy cause and still produced a cohesive squad. You knocked out a single unit and demonstrated how true detail knows no time limit and worked the phenomenal hours. Kudos to you all and congrats to you on stamina

[@CharlieVanLiew]

Two fantastic channels to partner with. The three of you guys make up my hobby tuber trinity. With play on tabletop filling out some weird archangel role because I'm committed to this analogy.

[@thth-sv4bt]

I'm proud of you Scott. You were able to reduce the time in which you paint warhammer armies from 7 years to 38 hours

[@Delveintohobby]

I'm in the early stages of a Grand Host of Nagash army, which will at the end include over a hundred skeletons. Lots of Skeleton Warriors. Calcium Commandos. Femur Fighters. Rib Raiders. Knee Knights. The Bone Zone

[@toversnoleu8769]

Whahaha 38 hours for 15 minis xD you are a true legend! Doggies look extremely good. Also the american bloodknight speedpaintjob is amazing! ;D

[@thundalust7889]

All three of you done amazing! Great challenge and great results. Loved watching this

[@nadukkerensky392]

wow that editing was on bloody point fantastic work on all fronts scott !

[@BadgerLovingFluffster]

And I thought Guy had endurance! Holy crap. And really nice figs to sow for it to boot! Well done Scott

[@KingL1nk101]

My Google home must have been listening to me, because I haven't searched anything about painting minis, I have never heard of this channel, but I was talking about it to my wife the other day, now all I get is this in my feed. Not complaining.

[@terminatoruk4921]

As the only person who is insane enough a layer and edge highlight a Tyranid horde with a bright white skin tone, black carapaces and hates to make a single error on a Termagant - I feel in like I'm in great company here! Morale of the story - never compare your progress with others - set yourself your own goals and if you enjoy the way you paint your minis and the final outcome - it's all good :-) Congrats on the cavalry unit - looks ace!

[@timmoulton7590]

It’s kinda interesting to see the way your supplies transition around the table during the timelapse

[@adamholt5395]

Their curse was way less terrifying than your curse was. It's just that sweet sweet Goobertown voice of Brent's I guess.

[@Algebrodadio]

You've got the best video edits of any mini painting channel out there Scott. Keep it up.

[@mr.han-nah1119]

Seriously one of you're best video's ever. Awesome minis to. 38 hours is insane!

[@ianhart4759]

I find it interesting that the parameters for this challenge was to see who could paint for the longest amount of time and your approach was to get as many done as fast as possible. I think a lot could be learned from this in regards to your enjoyment of painting miniatures

[@johnja4922]

Sick how you just pushed through. I also like to watch something while painting, it keeps me going, never tried such a long painting session though :D

[@christopherpeery7436]

4:36 "after grinding on these guys for 15 hours" Scott is so quotable

[@ethanhoward389]

Love goobertown and midwinter and miniac. This is a great challenge concept.

[@vaggelisfarmakis9008]

Calling goobertown Bob Ross of minis is the most accurate thing I've heard this month

[@beerenmusli8220]

That is so long. Wow. Kind of cool. And the minis definitly look stunning.

[@vanderdander8112]

What a legend!!!!! Your videos are always so well done!

[@pytle]

Watching your collabs! Super fun!

[@KrooTon]

Exhausted Scott-in-cinched-hoodie is super hilarious!

[@Hanzedous]

Holy Hell! Way to go to all parties involved. I think today is the day that I order my first batch of miniatures. Thanks for the push, your sacrifice at least made one difference and got y'all another subscriber.

[@MrMagicchrisi]

What a great challenge! My wife and I loved it - now we have to check out the other two videos 😎

[@arsenskavin130]

Hey, that's crazy amount of work you're done on that minis. No joke. They're looking great.

[@Rinhammer]

That is frigg'n insane! Great effort and wonderful work!

[@samprastherabbit]

*opens closet repeatedly to check for Brents with goodie bags* I'll try again in ten minutes... That was both awe inspiring and terrifying to watch the video of your steady descent into madness! Lol I loved your arguing with the intro, that was great! 😂 Also that creepy letter with the challenge was cinematastic! I also love the colour scheme you chose for the Blood Knights- that desaturated blue with the scarlett just nails it.

[@MarkusMaximus2000]

What an epic slog! Fair play. And the fact you went for sticking to your high level of quality rather than making it a sprint to mass paint really resonates with me. I am not efficient at all but I like what gets painted. Beautiful Blood Knights and a timely conversion video as I'm about to do the same and make some cavalry.

[@sailorjef5072]

Great job Scott, this was fun to watch!

[@joebutler2574]

Seeing the various stages of painting insanity over 38 hours was educational. For real though, appreciate the vids you and the other guys made!

[@clonetf141]

Brent is the type of guy to appear in your closest, give you something and then steal something before leaving. He taketh, he giveth

[@Charsiupao]

After all that effort you spent converting those Blood Knights, at least you can tell yourself that you cut no corners in painting them! Awesome effort, and the results look completely worth it!

[@TheSciFiWasabi]

You're a madman! :) 38 hours of anything is pretty boss but painting miniatures just adds a next level to it all. Great video! :) Decided to check out Cobalt after the video. Finally bought myself a handle (well three) and some magnetic bases. I've been looking for a handle that made sense for me (the GW handle wasn't quite it) and these really seem to fit the bill! Can't wait to use them!

[@deanbackhouse3209]

Scott, you always make insanely epic videos! This one is no different. Loving it.

[@markwilliams1892]

Loved watching this and would love to see more detail on how you painted the blood knights.

[@krftkrft4495]

Always a blast to watch your videos. Especially if Brant is in your closet.

[@ComplacentBadger]

A Challenger Approaching: Speed paint an army in 38 hours. Scott: Better start with my kit-bashed, self-sculpted, and highly-detailed favorite unit. I love you Scott, but you're crazy, man.

[@Miniac]

the people demanded it!

[@bodyarmor3282]

The bit where you said "I want to paint this nice" then immediately changed your mind is the story of my life. Loved the video

[@SureGibson777]

I absolutely love your sense of humor lol this video was super entertaining

[@FictionDiction]

Love these crossover episodes! It's like the avengers of mini painting and I love it! Please continue!

[@Anecron1]

Next challenge; how many minis can you FINISH in 12 hours?! Prediction: Miniac: 0,5, Goobs: 1 starter box, Midwinter: All that remains of Miniacs pile of shame and 1 extra orc.

[@2WARDEN2]

Of the three videos for this challenge, I have to say I like yours the most because, well, it's the most relatable LOL

[@williamjones7718]

Loved this! Took on the hard part first though. You know this now. Results are great!

[@MrVlonk]

oh this is AMAZING to zoom frame by frame through the timelapse. Some really great snapshots in there :D

[@devonwilson8306]

This is a fantastic video, thanks! And, we'd love to see more details on these blood knights, they're fantastic.

[@deleterinserepeat2079]

38 hours? Finally something to listen to while at work. Checks video length...13:50 Guess I’m watching this 10 times. Challenge accepted.

[@drpretzel2086]

The metallic bases coating never ending i felt that when I was painting my slaves to darkness army that had multiple metallics and metallic colors

[@matthewgalambus3533]

I feel like watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy while painting is a rite of passage for miniature painters.

[@CorvusMiniatures]

I am also still surprised about the amount of time that goes to painting the basecoat. Great video, a pleasure to watch.

[@gabrielebiffi9018]

Painting marathon watching the extended Lord of the Rings movies? Ok, now I have something to do during this quarantine!

[@conflictkid0x16]

I’ve started checking out war hammer stuff again because I loved them as a child and you’re sick af man.. so crazy

[@alexanderzamora9492]

I love your guys collaboration

[@actionjackson5556]

This was AWESOME! Finally got to see those kitbashed Blood knights! That "Saving Money" video was like watching Adam Savages videos on his kitbashing. Awesome to see them looking SO SICK! Keep up the great work man. Also love that MMW and GTH and you are all collabbing!

[@dances4980]

Thanks so much scott. This was a fantastic crossover.

[@TheRealPolecat]

Awesome challenge, really enjoyed watching all 3 videos :)

[@sOlOnOmO11]

Just discovered your channel! I recently got into warhammer 40K and I am learning from your videos with my girlfriend and are soon going to paint! Thanks for your amazing content and I love your logo. SICK!

[@Mithlinthar]

Oh, your laptop probably loves the sprayed gloss varnish. Gloss finish for your screen!

[@thel1chking]

Great work - those magnet bases are genius

[@RagtagDaydreams]

I love that we both have the same ball joint mount for our cameras. Way to go to the extreme sir.

[@Nortic111]

Man, you and Midwinter Minis have remarkable timing ;)

[@Lrn2playgames]

Man I thought your vids were great before, but the humor levels have reached even bigger heights lol. Great stuff!

[@redrooster7371]

Vincy V would so much lose in that challenge. He would finnish all the models in 24 hours and after that falling asleep 'cause nothing more to do! Guess, there's always a bigger fish. 😉 I like it that you guys make so much collaborations. So much fun!

[@kingjulian7045]

8t is now my headcannon that goobertown hobbies lives in Scott's cupboard lol
