THIS fixed my lack of painting motivation...

[@hall79w]

Can we just take a second to appreciate that Siege has 40k subs?!

[@fatmaru]

I'm a coffee roaster, and there's quite a bit of organizing the warehouse. So I listen to you guys while I use a forklift.

[@LukeMartinVideo]

Thanks guys for the insight and also the pace of the podcast. Helps me concentrate on my painting and provides me lots of tips and motivationnal goals. Also makes me realise i do approach my painting the right way ! Just relax and get at it !

[@jaylansdowne17]

Don't have anywhere permanently to hobby. Thanks for the motivation in the process of setting up a space

[@kgp277]

Nothing’s been better or my motivation than waking up slightly earlier and paint 1 hour every morning before work etc. drink some coffee and listen to an audiobook. Everyday you see progress and it’s addictive. And yeah same, 1 hour gym each day, progress. Oh ya and cheap wins! After batch painting something tedious, I’ll treat myself to painting something standalone and really visual and satisfying. ☺️

[@Easy_Mode_Minis]

Recently launched a small studio and this really helped, thanks guys :) Used to be a PT but lost my gym when COVID hit. So the comparison of gym vs Painting is totally relatable. I do miss painting my own stuff though.

[@tedstravels1284]

Totally agree, the Garviel Loken plastic model would be great.

[@S.A.S.H.]

Extra points for the Peter Sellers/Clouseau reference!

[@charliekirkpatrick695]

Picturing Joe coming at James with a flying kick as he walks in the office 😂

[@funky_features51]

Great ep ! Congrats on 40 k subscribers!! Hope theres a special ep for it

[@Evilminiature]

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE!! A new model for one of my favourite warhammer fantasy vilians ever. Arbaal the Undefeated! Man that was such an epic looking mini back then and would think a new plastic model with the talent that recides within GW now he would look amazing. Would pay a hefty sum of money to paint up a scaled up 2023 model of him.

[@steverogers3696]

Recently discovered this podcast, avid painter of 20+ years and this is great love having it on while im hobbying

[@SiegeStudios]

Amazing! Thank you

[@Bunyip_Studios]

Agree with James, you only need the backing paper damp, once the backing has darkened remove it from the water and put it on a dry paper towel, apply as you would normally

[@stevekearns6173]

Beautiful!

[@UntiltedName]

My main concern with base rims for gaming pieces is that the rim paint will chip with regular use. I like other almost-black colors, including Incubi Darkness, so I don't have to go full team black. It is because most of the time I prime black. My main army used Steel Legion and it looks nice but sooner or later those base rims are going to get repainted something else because of all the battle damage.

[@HurricaneHanz0]

First time listener/viewer and new subscriber. Absolutely brilliant discussion on a very difficult topic.

[@SiegeStudios]

Thanks for joining us! Great to have you here 🙏🏻

[@charliekirkpatrick695]

Fortress of Arrogance was Yarrick's tank 😁 Also the old Dark Eldar Asdrubael Vect on a Raider in updated plastic would be amazing!

[@Kantohammer]

There is a T’au character vehicle called Longstrike. Speaking of the T’au and lore things with no models in the game, there’s a long list of aliens that are part of the T’au empire that don’t even have concept art.

[@HappyDuude]

Gotta have a Jurgen with Cain! Could do it as a killteam, with Amberly, and her retinue

[@SerYordles]

Cold snowy morning, cup of breakfast soup, new paint perspective...Nice 👌

[@SiegeStudios]

This is how it's done!! ❄

[@fakestreetspirit]

I have just built the Khaine Shadowstalker War Cry box. That sirs, is the fiddliest kit I've done. And my God, it was about 70% mould line. They do look fabulous though - great sculpts.

[@SiegeStudios]

VERY cool model though!

[@fakestreetspirit]

@@SiegeStudios Amazing. I am following your advice of painting what I want to paint in small lots before settling on an army slog. 👌🏼

[@Hive_Mind_Goes_Om_Nom]

Always a pleasure listening to you chaps. A question from me this week - do you have an alternative to GW plastic glue? The needles on my pots always end up getting clogged. There's a couple of models I'd love to see. Characters wise it would be either the guardsman Ollanius Pius or the ork Tuska Daemon-Killa. As for vehicles, Rynn's Might would be awesome. It's got some great lore behind it. Alternatively, bring back the Battlefleet: Gothic range for some sweet space action!

[@-sboardman]

Tamiya extra thin cement has replaced the GW stuff for me. Much easier apply and work with thanks to the brush applicator that also won't clog.

[@SecretUnderdog]

Instructions for the hobby hack unclear - I now have kitchen roll/paper towel/Blitz inside a Gu pot

[@peteranderson9222]

Painting as watching this - would you guys consider doing another favourite paints episode? One of my personal faves and have since picked said colours up and found them all to be great!

[@SiegeStudios]

Will add it to the list for sure! Glad you found it useful!

[@dannylangridge7593]

you don't even need water for transfers, you can just paint the micro sol on the back of the transfer and it'll come off the backing

[@danielellyot]

I'm listening, whilst painting my base rims steel legion drab. :D

[@grey_planet_hobbies]

Amen to painting being stress releaf. Having hard time at min and it's realy helping me. Mega hobby. Also. Opening to this video 😂 goin have to try steil legion bases arnt I 🤣 cheered me up in the truck this morning 😂 Keep up the great work guys 🤘

[@MrSteelface96]

I only ever failed one transfer so far lel. it's really not that hard. get the lid of your DIY waterpallet, make it tilt slightly with a pen under it. Put a little water on there, just need like 1 milimeter, chill for it to detach and then slide your Hobbyblade flat under the loose transfer and then just slide the transfer of from the hobbyblade onto the model with the little brush you just used to apply micro sol/set with. if the decal is really tiny use the end of the handle of the brush to push it of the hobbyblade or you might have the brush swallowing the decal.

[@Bunyip_Studios]

Priming a bunch of Necrons while listening/watching

[@wesleydoogan5654]

i like both black and brown for base rims. i have both in my collections.

[@Phunkmasterd]

New to the podcast, I was hoping you have a video or are able to briefly explain colour theory and an idiots guide to a colour wheel?? Every time I research it i get confused and lost and just paint whatever colour i fancy, when there may of been a better colour i hadnt considered

[@SiegeStudios]

Welcome! Closest we have is this. Quite an old episode so maybe we can revisit soon: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2WbaHSZrcajq7c

[@sebastianrubio928]

Num1 model I want atm: Asdrubael Vect, give the Drukhari some love. Give the Drukhari a cool new storyline.

[@Paintersquest]

Same i really want ciaphas cain model

[@Onriko]

Love your podcast fellas. Team black base rim for life. Question for next ep: my misses doesnt know what to get me for Christmas, but im not sure what to ask for. Whats the best bang for buck painting gear? Also, when are you doing some classes in Australia? 😅

[@Bitsandsquits]

Game cube is actually seriously underrated

[@mini_acrylics]

It was a tie between T'au or Sa'cea Septs. I noticed I have a tendency tolike painting yellow or white with accents of blue, red or green schemes. But when I get to T'au we'll see if I switch from T'au to Sa'cea EDIT: Yes! Dental stuff and Warhammer almost go hand-in-hand!

[@theWolfnMiniatures]

What about a roll of base rim tape so you can keep reselling it to the same people?

[@samhawkey3768]

Black base rims all the way! They look great on any battlefield.

[@toastle8005]

As they ended up agreeing, it depends on what’s on the base, not the battlefield. If brown or khaki fits your basing and models- do it. Hell, I’ve even seen Emperor’s Children (30k) players pull off gold rims, and a Custodian player who pulled off a wine red on their rims that looked absolutely incredible against the gold. 95% of the time, go black; if the situation calls for it, do what authors do to the English language, and say “fuck the rules, I’m doing this instead.”

[@jpkimble9479]

Has George ate all his refreshers 😂😂 also I would love to see a xmas special from you guys also if you do manage to get all the months named would u release a calender I no I would buy one 😅

[@scottanderson3967]

I had a commador 64

[@Bitsandsquits]

Medal of honour rising sun was the shit on game cube 🤘🏻

[@theezekarion164]

If I'm not motivated I remember that I didn't take my Adderall yet and when I do Motivated to the MAX!

[@nefarioustim]

I'm guessing Joe has never tried building Drukhari Kabalites. 😂 Highly frustrating to get the arms and weapons well posed. Disclaimer: I haven't tried Tau yet either. No idea which is worse.

[@cabe_bedlam]

That Tallboi Admech is surely a great backscratcher? :D

[@GeekEnglish]

I suppose if you want the base to match every board you could just use a transparent one but sod that

[@tomludlow1]

how many hours do you guys spend on a single space marine?

[@komma8203]

If the rim is dirty, Just put some clingfilm over it before you rim it😂😂😂 And Jormungand is old norrse for The World Serpent, and as a Norwegian i would actully think names like that would be best suited for space wolves as its the way we did talk here like 800+ years ago. And the way james does decals is the way we that do scalemodels have done it for decades

[@kookieslayer]

Haven't listenned yet, but as a general rule, motivation is fickle, discipline is key. You want to get an army painted? Don't wait for motivation, just get disciplined to paint everyday (or what ever suits your schedule) at X time for at least X amount of time. It's the same for training in anything, be it going to the gym, learning a new skill, perfecting a skill, etc.

[@DanielKling]

Why not flock the sides of the base as well then, if you want it to blend in ;)

[@GeekEnglish]

They should bring back Necron Pariah no idea why they got rid of them always thought they looked cool

[@mindyfranke5279]

You laugh about the base rim covers, but they are for sale. :)

[@JonnyTheKing]

Hi guys, love the content, would love to hear some tips on stripping models and what’s a good method of stripping

[@Bitsandsquits]

Ravenous 🤣🤣

[@CHRISTIAN-nx8km]

What if you’re motivated but just scared to paint? lol

[@Light.System]

I listen to this podcast while grooming dogs

[@antonmunnik3315]

Don’t really have problems finding the motivation to paint models. I just can’t be arsed building them in the first place. It’s my least favourite part of the hobby…
