NEW YEAR NEW ARMY - Army Like NO OTHER

[@wardaddyminiatures]

Hector has been reported to the police! And I've got a wanted poster up on my door! The little *#@!

[@redcoat259]

You’ll never catch him alive, copper! 😂

[@MSPaints]

TRy me bro ill mess up mpar than ur hobnibw ribbit- hectoR

[@dominicskelton3031]

Don't mess with the frog. It ain't healthy, and it ain't safe....

[@cabe_bedlam]

There was a hobnobbery!

[@foxbat51]

The intro was like a lost scene from Spaced.

[@MSPaints]

Haha! Definitely a compliment, thank you

[@samprastherabbit]

Man, I miss watching that show/my romantic ideal of life documentary!

[@M4c4r0th]

Honestly… You were among my top 3 KZbinrs anyway, and then you started covering more and more MESBG. Perfection.

[@RuthlessMojo]

Thanks for sharing your hobby journey. I suffer from a degenerative condition of the spine that has left me with severe spinal stenosis (compression of the spinal cord) and severe chronic pain. I love the tabletop hobby but find it difficult to paint minis or do fine detail work because my hands constantly shake. Even when my hand is fully supported I still find it difficult. I'm trying to learn how to airbrush as it's a bit more forgiving. I can mask areas I don't want to paint (with the help of my spouse) and the finish is really nice. I applaud you for pushing on with your condition. Quite a few would wallow in your situation. It's great to show people that degenerative conditions like MS aren't the end of a productive life. You can thrive instead of just survive.

[@Dan_Does]

'Oh, I'm supposed to paint this for fun, am I?' Exactly how I feel. Haha.

[@KabinMiniatures]

Amazing Ents, mate! The foliage really adds a lot 👍

[@MSPaints]

It does! Kind of impressed they turned out exactly as expected haha

[@SuperbYoghurt]

the videography and production value of your vids never ceases to amaze me! by far one of my favourite hobby channels, its criminal you don't have more subs!

[@rupertjones5197]

“ they’re just trees…” TREE? I AM NO TREE! I AM AN ENT! Ace work dude! Keep it up

[@Krazblackheart]

Yes new year ne…old army! Just started (finally) building my Bretonnian army for warhammer fantasy 💪🏻 Its soon(ish) build then I can focus on painting it!

[@Dale_Groves]

The increase in Middle-earth content on here makes me happy Dave.

[@TheHobbyCorner]

Not a lot of folks can get me to watch a 20 mins hobby video but you do it so effortlessly. Great work on the minis and that new camera though is sick! Big loves🤘😎🔥

[@SweenyMarc]

Spectacular and the fact you call these low effort makes me feel a little bit an awe. I think the bright, colourful bases look great and are actually very practical. On a game board those easy to distinguish differences will make it easier keeping track of which model is which. The only thing it's missing is a little resin water hole in one of them with a tiny little Hector chilling in it as homage to the effort he went to getting them for you!

[@samprastherabbit]

I came here for beautifully shot mini painting of Tree herders, but I stayed for the sick Tolkien quotes sprinkled in like a scattering of Farmer Maggot's finest mushrooms. Awesome work, sir!

[@tomburden5935]

I love the way you spiced up the bases with the mixed herbs........ I'll see myself out.

[@Bluecho4]

The trees are slow to anger, and even slower to move. But when they march to war, you better watch out. Because you've _really_ pissed them off.

[@bostin316]

Those blossoms 🌸 on the base of the Ents really make em pop Plus any video that praises the glory of the Hobnob automatically gets a thumbs up Great work again sir

[@davidwasilewski]

Woodland scenic stuff is great.

[@MiniatureRealms]

Love this army, cracking job! I've had a Fangorn project in a box waiting to be started for ages now, maybe this year.

[@MSPaints]

Hopefully you get to tackle it this year! Such a fun army to look at and field

[@curelou4]

Absolutely awesome, love dem trees. More and more I’m doing the “throw shit at the base and see what happens” technique haha

[@gavinjames1145]

Both ENTertaining and ENTeresting! I can't blame Health and Safety frog for pilfering some chocolate Hobnobs, though.

[@benjamin7864]

Dude digging the gundam hobby case!

[@MSPaints]

Tasty innit! Take it everywhere with me!

[@alanbrilly3584]

Absolute perfection

[@MSPaints]

Thanks, Alan!

[@samhoban2509]

Trees. Genius. Bloody genius

[@tunguskalumberjack9987]

Another great video, Dave- The model for the shag bark tree (while sounding pretty funny in Great Britain) is pretty specific. I don’t think that you have them there, but over here in the States, we have a tree variety called the Shag Bark Hickory, so I’m guessing it’s what that one is. It’s a rather cool looking tree, as the bark appears to be, well, shaggy, pretty unsurprisingly. Like someone tried to pull off thin strips of the bark from the bottom, but doesn’t tear it off at the top, resulting in kind of a rough “roof shingle” look of overlapping layers. Anyway, trivia section over- really enjoyed the video. Thanks, and have a great weekend!

[@chicagohobbyhero]

Love the fuck it, let's give it a go mentality. Especially since can always just reprime and start over. More need to embrace that. Great stuff, thanks for sharing.

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Awesome intro, I cant resist hobnobs either 🙂

[@bradcraig6676]

Woodland Scenics does have 2 fall foliage "mesh" products: early fall mix and late fall mix. I've used them and they look great. But your build looks fantastic in a summer scheme and probably sells as Ents better than with an autumn scheme, although it begs the question of what Ents actually look like in the fall.

[@HorribleGamr]

Man I've been waiting for this video for awhile. That metal Treebeard looks familiar. Glad it went to a good home.

[@MSPaints]

ah ha! Amazing mate, thank you for the treebeard! He's awesome. I spent a long time looking at the box before opening haha

[@RetoKelsen]

That‘s a hilarious concept for an army and perfectly executed. I’m really impressed how you improved the allready great ent sculpts. Sadly I wasn’t as smart for my newyearnewarmy, cleaning up 2nd edition marines for some HowlingGriffons. Takes some time :D

[@chillywilly883]

Wow, the Ents turned out great.

[@searle_harbour]

"hobnob related carnage" gave me boosh vibes

[@bladderpains]

Thought this was a new video just uploaded...the mystery of youtube. Excellent tree men, planning on painting a kill team and building a board after about a year out of the modelly game. I got the fear! Hail to the Dave.

[@MSPaints]

Enjoy your board build!

[@simonsaysmakepaintplay7248]

Absolutely inspirational as always . Jaffa, Kree!

[@MSPaints]

Tek ma tek!

[@tunguskalumberjack9987]

Gotta love some old SG-1! My older brother got me into it, lending me his DVDs after one of my spinal surgeries around 2004, as I was stuck in a recliner for a few months healing up. I got totally hooked on it, I got my (now ex-) wife hooked on it, and I eventually bought the first six or seven seasons on DVD. It was such an enjoyable watch!

[@ElderlyJoeDuffy]

Great looking lads! I'm a big fan of taking a more practical and laid back approach to army painting. Also have been side-eyeing MESOBS as a new system to pick up.

[@za907777777777777777]

Absolutely spot on, got to love those Ents!

[@TheBroZerker]

Another smashing video dude, and again im loving the slightly longer format, I know your a busy man but from us here as viewers the extra time in your content totally shows mate, thank you!

[@tabletop-mini-showcase]

Every time I see a cool smoke effect I just picture you hiding off-camera absolutely smashing ya vape lol. Love the treemen, they actually look like trees ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@matthewjohnson1415]

Great video Dave. I liked the addition of a hint to your next video at the end. I hope it helps with getting people to subscribe. What's the event you are going to on the 5th of Feb? Sounded like That'n Attack.

[@originalbaxio]

Ents looking great!

[@nealcranney7217]

This is one army I have been thinking of doing for years, only thing holding me back is that iv never played lotr or know anyone that does 😆. You really have started that itch agine, cheers buddy, mint video as always buddy.

[@ahemka1]

This is perfect for The Weald 28 !

[@elstonation]

Frogs and hobnobs, that's a dangerous combo. I have to say one of those ents is verging on logman instead of stickman 🤣

[@MSPaints]

Lethal. Those hobnobs never made it back to Jack!

[@RyanGlass]

“Hobnob-related carnage” has to be the most evocative storytelling on this app. Much appreciation!

[@originalbaxio]

New Year New Army - looks at three Necromunda gangs and a Kill Team still on sprue in my cupboard. Yeah, I don't need to spend any money to take part in this!

[@seanmcnallyactor]

Incredible work, not only on the models but also on the intro. Really nice to see your camera and editing craft excell with your painting

[@DenePaintsThings]

I love nothing more than a game of Middle Earth Strategic Operations Battle Simulator! Best way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Ents came out superb 👍

[@MSPaints]

Chaaaaaars Dene!

[@josephrigley8974]

Lovely looking Ents. I don't like thinking about what I need for a new army anymore, I need to actually get more of my old stuff together my poor Dark Angels are sitting in a corner with the paint stripped and ready to redone I really need to get them done sometime soon.

[@MSPaints]

Take the pressure off yourself, you don’t need to get em done, they ain’t going nowhere. Think if I pressured myself in that basement I’d be more of a nervous wreck! Haha

[@nirotheone7858]

19 minute video without any Bob Ross reference? respect m8 🤣

[@zippy5131]

Hobnob rage, I can relate to that. I'll have to dig out my Eureka miniatures ents, there in a box somewhere.............

[@LordMagiru]

I love them. Great work.

[@GunwitchUK]

Thems beautiful Dave.

[@keithcollins1075]

Those look amazing

[@pianospawn1]

Dark Chocolate digestive is a far superior biscuit.

[@j453]

You do a really good "obnoxious new yorker"

[@Himle_]

Amazing production and those Ents certainly turned out great! You keep knocking it out of the ball park. Just making the advertisement part enjoyable, is a mastery.

[@brutaka809]

Great vid and always excited to hear you bumping some great ps2 soundtracks ala Evergrace 😎

[@dominicskelton3031]

Lovely job. I don't think the bases came out as "too much" at all - the extra details and clutter and mushrooms and shit works precisely because the models themself are so simple - the base ends up complementing the model rather than competing with it.

[@MSPaints]

Agreed! I think at the end they look just right with the trim and finish. Might slap a satin or Matt varnish on the unify it all but that absolutely only if I can be bothered!

[@Gumlass1]

wow. I love these!

[@harrymcgill9393]

I always love the intro to your videos! Keep it up!

[@florian79fg]

Legendary, Sir, legendary !

[@jordanknapp7757]

Your videos are never about something I actually plan todo myself yet you’re probably my favourite hobby creator think that speaks to the quality of your work man

[@WenisTRON]

I love your videos. Amazing editing.

[@deanlewis8083]

here in the usa, i was wondering what hob nobs were.... LOL

[@Barballs]

Was that a brief clip of SG1 I witnessed? :) Looked like the memory implant episode. Great vid, as always man!

[@SpruceWoods89]

These are really awesome👌🏻👌🏻

[@stuff6218]

Noice. Enjoying your new probe lens shots!

[@Boodoosh69]

Those are ridiculous! love them :) fabulous job old boy.

[@tBauncer]

Genius, so cool 👍

[@bio-boosted]

Cool army. The big lad came out very nicely

[@MSPaints]

He did! Thanks mate

[@Slayernuke83]

Awesome builds and basing.

[@fatrhino]

Nice!

[@Rickydrinkspaint]

Brilliant video and amazing cinematography as always🤌 such a treat just to watch keep up the hard work dude

[@mikkel456123]

At the ent of the day, they’re trees 😂😂😂

[@walksinthedarkness]

"Mother nature don't give a shit so why should you?" - possible new controversial t-shirt?

[@MSPaints]

I think so. With like an old railway poster design!

[@retroa-go-go6888]

Love your videos, Dave. I found out about you because I also have disabilities, with early-onset osteoarthritis and other s**t, you're an inspiration! Great sense of humour, too, very much like mine! Where did you get that sexy-looking brush case? I want one! Good luck with the new army! I shop at Wayland Games pretty much exclusively as its hard for me to get out of the house. They have so much stuff, I don't know where to begin! I end up down a rabbit-hole and buy stuff I probably don't need 😄 (I'll find a use for it, I'm sure). I'm doing the New Year, New Army thing too, except I'm going with Grey Knights, I've got about 2500pts to put together and paint, and I'm a notoriously slow painter, so it may take me 2 years! Big respect to you, Tony, Hector and the rest of the MS_Paints crew. Keep it real!

[@theoisindog]

This is fantastic!!!!!

[@LaBibliotecaEterna]

Soo good to see more LOTRs miniature videos, thanks for the vid, great as always.

[@stephenrenwick8781]

Great work Dave. Loving the new army.

[@ManglingMinis]

I've been meaning to do something along these lines for ages now. This might be just the push I need

[@carsonhoward9489]

Yes yes. Good. Great. Love it…… but what’s a Hobnob.

[@MSPaints]

It’s a sweet oat biscuit!

[@carsonhoward9489]

Well that sounds delicious

[@martinhowell3475]

They look bloody terrifying, Gimli lower your axe.

[@lucidnonsenseable]

Lovely Ents and great video as always. Would you mind letting me know where you got that fantastic Sazabi brush/tool case?

[@varisware]

That big one is pretty impractical to take anywhere.

[@RedBairnMedia]

Really nicely done. I'd also watch the heck out of Volcano Skeleton.

[@MSPaints]

We watched Volcano Skeleton 2 last night. Was pretty hard going! Hector enjoyed it though

[@RedBairnMedia]

@@MSPaints I've heard it's a good jumping on point for the Geological Cinematic Universe though.

[@dominicskelton3031]

Milk chocolate HobNobs. The king of biscuits right there - excellent taste that man. Bad frog....

[@MSPaints]

Say that while wearing your Hector t shirt! Congrats on the new job btw!

[@dominicskelton3031]

@@MSPaints Thanks Dave. 😀 As I said to your dad, it would be rude not to when you were thoughtful enough to do merch in my size.... 🙄

[@thefantawarrior3174]

Back with a Vengeance! And a good dose of safety frog too, banger video man

[@MSPaints]

Plenty of Hector!

[@nyallleary1643]

And you can use them as tree terrain for other games XD

[@lootpigeon]

Great video! the ridiculousness is glorious!

[@MSPaints]

Absurd! Prepare yourself for our next game!

[@lootpigeon]

@@MSPaints wait.. are you putting ewoks in those trees?! 🐻

[@32Loveless50]

new year upgrade old armies and make new army :D upgrading my Necrons, Tyranids and Iron hands armies, as for new armies building a DG and a Imperial Knight army

[@JonathanPyke]

Absolutely love that basing style. What’s the isopropyl for? Does it activate the PVA and help seal it?

[@cpf7894]

Someone needs to model some Entwives.

[@bigfacenic]

Duuuuuude. These are cool as fuck! Amazing work

[@robot7759]

May be an old army, still another new army 😉

Good stuff and always entertaining.

Truly unforgivable Hobnobbery
