Miniatures en masse: A look at my wargaming armies

[@sandtable8091]

Very impressive. You're first army is better than my best efforts. I'm 60 and have been painting since I was a boy. Well done.

[@mikeljokinecheveste1287]

A very nice group of armies with a general high level of painting. And you choose very cleverly the miniatures you use to compose your armies (lots of different and interesting poses), great job.

[@DESooner333]

Another vote for seeing the Japanese village/Ronin board for the game that WSS developed - would love to see that. Great video - always wondered about your gaming tastes.

[@jvcpaints]

I love your channel. Your German camo pea-dot tutorial really broke a barrier for me in how to approach painting certain details. Cheers! :)

[@Panzermeister36]

Thanks for the showcase! Great work and great inspiration! I'm thinking about getting some Flames of War stuff soon and your videos will certainly be very helpful.

[@wwaxwork]

I'd love to know more about that ninja game & a closer look at the figures. . It sounds like a lot of fun.

[@stefans.2834]

Really nice of you to show us these little armies. I always wondered if you had done such. It would be cool if you showed us the rest of your collection! :) Btw funny how you deprecate your early work a little and here I am sitting wishing I would be half as good ^^

[@leonn54]

i like all the armies you've done. i really like the hessians, and the samurai are superb. id love to see how you did the patterned clothing which you dont often see other painters attempt in this scale. excellent work ma'am!

[@wssmagazine]

Thanks for the nice words. I've definitely done tutorials on patterned clothing over the years. My first one was on an unarmored samurai as a matter of fact. There are many others though, like Queen Matilda, an Arabic warrior from the middle ages, etc.

[@leonn54]

indeed,i have watched the ones you speak of and very helpful they are too! i'd like to see you exercise your talents on one of the samurai armoured generals.

[@michaelstill7356]

I would definitely love to see the board for the ninja game. I've always been inspired by your work and admire the quality of your work.

[@dupeesfashionconsultant4204]

I think you're selling yourself short....that was some really impressive work

[@johnhart7704]

This is a great collection of armies. All of the painting is excellent.

[@WARGAMESMINIATURES]

A nice insight in to some of your work, for yourself over the years. Keep up the good work and videos :)

[@TheWareek]

talking about quality of painting one gentleman I wargamed with used to spend a little bit of time on the front ranks but then be very basic on those behind same amount of time on average but do it where it will be seen and appriciated once again just love your work

[@essayons7]

Great stuff! I agree with several others who have posted - PLEASE show us the Japanese village! I have a ton of Perry Samurai and Koreans to paint, and would love the inspiration!

[@andym9924]

I love your work, and have learned so much from your channel. Thanks

[@derekcutsinger3511]

Very nice. That elephant skin technique is amazeballs!

[@kriskaonis6757]

After painting for over 30 years, I lean towards synthetic white sable brushes and Robert Simmons is my favorite brand.

[@JamesBrowningII]

Great looking miniatures. I would love to see a video about the Japanese village.

[@AlfonsoTheTraitor]

Please please pretty please show us that Ronin table I would love to see that. I really enjoy watching your videos a lot I find them to be not only informative I also find them inspiring.

[@drwatkins68]

Great stuff, even though its early work your Successor army looks great. I'd love to see your Japanese village at some point as well.

[@soviet9366]

I was thinking of how much I miss your channel . Hope to see you back some day

[@Raycheetah]

"Hessian!" My South Carolinian mother-in-law and her generation still used that as a term of rather pointed derision; it was as close to swearing as she was accustomed to. Cultural memories have long lives, it seems. =^[.]^=

[@gunner678]

very good. 28mm is a great scale. just big enough to appreciate and enjoy the detail. im stuck with 25mm, its always a struggle the older one gets! cet la vie!

[@jschmons]

Really like the AWI Hessian army, even if it was a pain for you to paint! I have enjoyed your painting of other AWI and French and Indian War figures. Keep it up! I have been looking for your videos on painting horses, do you have any tutorials on painting them?

[@wssmagazine]

I have quite a few. Most aren't specifically on horses though. Just look for any on mounted units. I break most of those into two parts and tend to always spend the first video only painting the horse. I also have a tutorial specifically on painting a donkey/mule, since that's a bit different.

[@modelmagician3743]

Very good work you have great skill, And I enjoy ur videos. Ime a scale modeller but ive got the wargaming bug recently. Thank you from the UK

[@balobreached]

I really like the way you've painted the Samurai, im curious how to paint them too. Good video idea...? :P

[@wssmagazine]

Well, I've painted an Ashigaru and a Samurai without armour (my first video EVER), but I might do an amroured one someday. :-)

[@balobreached]

Wargames, Soldiers and Strategy I'll give them vids a watch! And yeah, I'd really like to see your painting skills on some Japanese armour :D

[@framontella]

Greeks are gorgeous! Brava!

[@robertfisher8359]

Can we get some videos for the samurai and ashigaru? I'm considering getting some and painting them up for a friend of mine, but when I was trying to research what colors to use, they seem so highly individualized that it feels like a very daunting task.

[@marctempler3250]

Just found your site - very nice!

[@e-4airman124]

thanks for showing the armies!

[@JohnWise-vg3zj]

These are awesome!

[@markbrown8154]

Love the Japanese minis Christy

[@pgravelat]

Great job on the samurai patterns. What were your inspiration sources?

[@wssmagazine]

I can't really point to one I guess - just tried to look at lots of Japanese woodblock prints while working on the project.

[@pgravelat]

Thank you for your prompt response and many thanks for your videos. I thought I was the only one who considered painting eyes rather silly, given the scale and 'doll-like' look of 99% of the end results (that and I must admit I am rather poor at doing so ;) ).

[@basicminiaturepainting]

hi I'm about to start my first painting channel for the likes of wh40k,ive been painting on and off for 20 years would you have any advicefor a beginner you tuber please

[@wssmagazine]

Hi there! Glad to hear you are thinking about a painting channel - more are always better. Make sure you have a good camera that films well in low light. Make sure your videos are uploaded in HD - everyone wants that quality to be able to really see what you are doing. Other than that, if you want to grow your channel and get more viewers, try to get a regular filming schedule and stick to it like clockwork. It can be discouraging in the beginning, but that's how you'll make sure it grows eventually.

[@basicminiaturepainting]

Thank you so much for your advice it helps alot

[@e-4airman124]

You are soooo good!

[@stevepickering5978]

[@JohnWise-vg3zj]

Who's Yesper?

[@johnwayneeverett6263]

[@Patrick-lu2fy]

Come on mate make more vids

[@richardburnett2961]

Of you have read such authors as John Keegan or Anthony Beevor or S L W Marshall then you will never do. wargaming sgain. It is too gruesome. Combat veterans for the most part won't talk about their experiences, the friends theyve lodt,the things they had to do or the real face of war.
