Sorry about the camera angle, that was my fault - Scott

Alternative episode title: "Flow state: Jon's journey to Brown Town".

[@minitings9489]

Oh and I absolutely set up my minis in cool scenes when I've finished painting them. Pew pew!

[@Ainar86]

Ok, so 2 things: 1. I literally fell to the floor crying and laughing when Jon mentioned his daughter's reaction. 2. Now I totally want to see someone make a "Tears in the rain" diorama! I'd say I want to do it myself but I won't have that kind of skill in a million years :D

[@cmdrgoldenfowks3997]

Love the idea of the marine on his bunk with the gene seed! I was a Medic in the US Army with PTSD and that picture hit the nail on the Head!

[@Ninjon]

Thank you for your selfless service, and I appreciate the feedback!

[@MetalCrushesRock]

I'd rather hear candid conversation than a contrived argument. When Jon whipped out the Ecto Cooler ref. I was like 'Scott doesn't know what Ecto Cooler is!' I'm a turtle pie/turtle pop man myself. Maybe there is a box of turtle pies still out there somewhere. Good episode guys!

[@erictaylor6035]

Turtle Pies..... man that takes me back.

[@Monkeyman12534]

But I think one person should try to be an Advocate for the other side as well as then can be to share both perspectives as honestly as possible

[@taylorsmithmk3864]

TROGDOR!!!!!! Blast from the past... Thank you guys. x

[@Bowser1213]

This is the first episode I've ever listened to. I feel like I've been given both a gift and a responsibility to listen to every episode, past and future.

[@Kolthaar]

Hey guys I'll be launching my Hobby Diaper kickstarter later this week

[@emilymegan40]

You guys have the most amazing dynamic, don’t change a thing! I’m part time furloughed too man, I can’t wait until we can get back to some semblance of normal (and I can get back to the after party!)

[@MrSkullface]

YEA! Thomas and I sculpted that KDM Bee! Pretty cool to hear more about KDM stuff on this channel!

[@duncanwilloughby]

There is nothing lamer than artificial or manufactured conflict.

[@dariuschoksy6934]

I set up a bunch of terrain I painted and then assembled my (now finished!!) Chaos space marine army to both look at them and also take cool pictures!

[@VillaVercMar]

Honestly I think the podcast is spot on as is! You two bounce off each other really well and are a joy to listen to.

[@markdefensor971]

AHHHH THE LOVERS ARE BACK TOGETHER AGAIN! :D

[@finkmonkeyful]

Don't change a thing!!!!!!! This is the best podcast out there for mini painters.

[@rogeroverstreet3919]

I laughed so hard at the " I had to cowboy walk it up to the bathroom" comment that I knocked over a pot of paint and kept on laughing. Thanks for the laughs Jon :).

[@troycummings2501]

I absolutely play with my minis and arrange them in cool dioramas and settings for pictures and just for fun. Also josh has a point, it's cool to see different perspectives on topics but I dont expect it all the time. You guys are gunna agree because hell, you're friends for a reason!

[@kclark1701]

ROFL!!!!! I don't care if you agree on everything. Just keep it coming. I love your conversations and enjoys the topics. My mini painting bud and I here in OK have had some of the exact same conversations, so it's neat to hear your discussions. And your personal stories are HILARIOUS!!!! Love a good potty humor story!

[@Justinshaffer1993]

Podcast GOLD right here!!!!

[@kylewilson3289]

That Haunted idea made me shiver, it sounds like an amazing project.

[@zot8218]

Yes! I just listend to the podcast on the drive home and i almost crashed laughing so hard at johns story.. my buddy always said and I have taken up the same mantra ... if you haven't shit yourself at least once, you're not taking enough chances in life!

[@bristlebauss78]

Firstly, as someone with IBS and also has that risky time window in the morning where I'm guaranteed to poop, dangers times and have come close to your situation myself John, you are not alone. secondly, I always set up my army to look at, sometimes on a battlefield or in little narratives just to enjoy them.

[@arodreth]

47:46 Actually, if you focus on the skirmish games, you can get a painted " army" for all those systems :D warcry & killteam has small model counts, which is exactly why I am enjoying them so. I want the buffet effect, I dont think I will enjoy painting 100+ models in a very similar color scheme with similar motifs and stuff like that. But in warcry, I paint 10 dudes and I am done! if I want to, I can go ahead and try another warband. Already have 4 warbands, several more on the way, having a great time.

[@MrNaadi]

Jesus Christ-- Jon's opening story is so hilariously told. Good for you being so brave to share that with the class today 😂

[@Ainar86]

He painted bravely! :D

[@n0rbie]

@@Ainar86 his pants

[@finkmonkeyful]

I love this podcast. Listening to this a second time.

[@gnometroll1717]

I listened this on Spotify and I had to come here to WATCH Scot face while Jon told his "Flow State" story. Priceless!

[@eenieminis2843]

Jon talks about shitting himself AND I get to hear him say my name. Dreams really do come true! UwU

[@VladimirKharchenko]

Jon, your evil man! Your story almost made me had a laughing fit at 3 AM in the morning :)

[@jumpstarthobbies]

Suggestion: You should overlay visual references of things you are talking about.

[@erictaylor6035]

I cannot agree with this enough. Having the pics during the After Party segment is great, but at other times when things are mentioned in hurting for a visual.

[@apocalypticmoth6040]

Before I started painting for age of Sigmar, sometimes I would love setting up some of my painted d&d miniatures with the terrain

[@mikeoliver6742]

Honestly, Jon, the mini diorama of a space marine holding the shattered helmet or gene seed in his barracks is way better without the scene of what happened floating behind him. The viewer not knowing the particulars is a better way to induce empathy than showing us.

[@Ninjon]

Thanks Mike, there is something to be said for not going “whole hog”!

[@Gh0st713]

A point and counterpoint is always good.

[@gh00ph]

Expect when it comes to things like climate change and colonialism maybe ;)

[@arodreth]

28:00 My painted mini shelves are like ever-changing diaromas of all kinds of AoS minis having a brawl. Currently I've added to the finished pile a khorgorath, he is looking very mean towards a certain Knight questor. I dont like stormcast, but I like puting them in peril. theyre surrounded with putrid blightking bois and some other birdmen of tzeentch. There's only three of the stormcast, so I am sure they're in a perpetual state of shitting their pants. #crappedpantssolidarity

[@iceyhawkboy4590]

I think Jon's space marine idea called haunted would be amazing if it was a guardsman, as they tend to have more emotion. You could have him holding a little keepsake from the other solider. Maybe Cadia against demons?

[@basbaten]

Shit... I have listened to them all now while painting plastic toys 🤣... made a few mistakes here and there because I had to laugh so hard... I hope you keep this podcast for years to come... grts

[@greenskinforthewin2590]

FU Jon From the UK 🇬🇧 Ps. Good podcast as usual 👍

[@byrond1096]

Love rewatching the show while I…. Paint… more… minis…

[@andrewsimmons2711]

Listening to your "want a painted army", I look over my shoulder to my 4 painted AoS armies lol

[@tonylusardi5767]

I "Play Toys" sooooo much as I paint things. After I finish a unit or a new hero, I'll break out a bunch of other units from the army and some "enemy" army units to pose them up for cool looking battle scenes. Complete with terrain. Then I take a bunch of action photo shots that I never get around to posting anywhere. Maybe send one to friends. 🤔

[@davidfortin6437]

I much prefer you guys being yourselves than disagreeing and arguing. Would definitely annoy me. I love this podcast because it's smooth, genuine, relaxed and insightful. Being in a disagreement has nothing to do in those elements. That's my opinion :)

[@calyxedmondson5362]

Shit now I feel like I need to do that thunderwolf Calvary conversion for another army I don't play.

[@YetiLord]

I have 3 fully painted armies. All 3 are well over 2000 points. Feels really good to have them done but when a new unit comes out it feels horrible having to go back to them and paint that new unit the same way i did everything else. Its almost like revisiting an old drawing and expecting to add onto it even though its been done for years haha. Incase people are wondering the armies: Ogor kingdoms Flesh Eater Courts Maggotkin of Nurgle. I just ordered a huge Space Wolves force as my re-entry into 40k!

[@ProrokLebioda]

Jon is GROSS... and I love it! Thunderwolves are plastic kit. Should be prettty easy to convert, rider and mount are totally separate. There are some minor sci-fi bits, but I believe that if you put them together in a right way then you have only 1 looking obviously sci-fi. It won't be cheaper than using old WoC horses. Maybe go for 75mm scale with rain diorama? Could be easier to do what you intend without obscuring details.

[@theibault]

Hell yeah I set up scenes after finishing minis. That's what they are for!

[@Hoppinnerd]

Nah no need to argue just for the sake of arguing. If y'all agree with each other what's the problem with that. Thanks for another great episode!!

[@PP_Tip]

I'd really loved to hear or see how you guys store y'alls finished pieces.

[@tinaprice4948]

I dont put my minis in dioramas , but I did make shelves for all my minis even my pile of shame and I have them organized by type somewhat. Do you prime your minis so that if you want to paint them at a moments notice they are ready?

[@ZachC-130]

The Vampire pirates only sail into the night, always running from the sun rise.

[@arodreth]

awww its you guys again!

[@Ruinstad694]

I've had the idea of for a diorama that would make great commentary for both mini painting and the hobby as a whole and I'm fairly confident I could do the conversion but I know I couldnt Paint it. I really on the fence as too whether too share it or not I'd be stoked too see it done, but I'd sure be disappointed too not too get recognition for the idea.

[@samrufflecoles]

The reflection of Jon's face at the end of the microphone is pretty creepy.

[@OdinTeiwaz]

Can’t unsee this

[@mrgreen1166]

Just finished build my Necrons Command barge. Then sat at my desk flying it around making pew pew noises before realising my blinds are up and I’m in full view of the street. I’m 33 years old, I should not feel ashamed right?

[@piece1309]

Don’t just argue. Knife fight to the deeeaaatthhh!!!!

[@Chaoslizard]

Color Wheel Fight!! Red + Green = Yellow.

[@irrationalgaz]

Yes I do in fact arrange my mini's against a terrain piece for shits and giggles after they are painted.

[@rodneyr5266]

I just finished painting the starter set for Warcry and the SCE vanguards. I had to line them up 1980s X Men cartoon intro racing against each other...pew pew. I think we all do something of the sort with our armies.

[@kylehoward1507]

Hey about that space marine diorama if you want lord help salamanders are the most human chapter by far and they even stay with there families on there home world when they are not fighting. So it could be him on a bed at his home and instead of a bolt or it could be a flamethrower.

[@michaelsalom8354]

I believe this topic raises an interesting question: What is the meaning of "fully" when saying "fully painted army"? To me, it means: having every entry of the book in a big enough quantity to play any kind of list comp that could be interesting game wise (sometimes it becomes insane, I confess...).

[@pnociar]

The story diorama reminded me the full metal alchemists origin.

[@The_Rat_Catcher]

Every once an awhile I take two armies from their shelves, dig out terrain to set up a board, and set them both up like it was the deployment phase. I stand back and go "noice" then it's back to the shelves

[@Miniac]

I GET IT

[@Ninjon]

NOICE

[@SOHellKite]

theses two are just the cutest couple

[@reflexdogtraining1337]

oh my God I always Set up my unpainted models so I can get a ballpark idea of how cool it will eventually look

[@johnmyers5256]

Make that haunted diorama that sounded like a crazy good idea

[@protanomania7284]

yes. yes i do play imaginary fun time with my toys. especially when they're unpainted.

[@sportyeight7769]

Your Pringles can project reminds me of the game "binding of Isaac".

[@leary_93]

7:56 this is the moment i almost ruined an alpha legion sergeant THANKS MINIAC

[@sodaaddict2225]

You could argue about whether full-rimmed glasses are better than half-rimmed?

[@LouieLovesMinis]

Me, admire my minis? HELL YEA. ESP DURING GAMES :)))

[@brentwood7660]

You guys do a great job of seeing all sides or perspectives. Even if you do agree too much I never noticed it.

[@elizabethgiebler9393]

So I have this playing in the background while I work from home. My daughter says ewww Mom all they are talking about is poop and farts.... I said "YEAH, Mommy's kind of channel". We are a pull my finger kind of family LOL LOL

[@Hynesight2020]

@Scott's diorama idea: sounds cool. Also sounds like Full Metal Alchemist meets The Walking Dead.

[@Telleelle]

Perhaps pirate vamps can dive to a depth where the sun isn't reaching, during the day.

[@kh4rn4k23]

I recently just finished my blood angels successors after a decade lol.

[@goblinry]

I'm 90% sure the flavor of ecto cooler is/was "Mandarin Orange"

[@joebringas4807]

Cowboy walk! 😂😂😂

[@LouieLovesMinis]

I'm painting brown RN as Jon retells his basement story :))

[@andreaspettersson6085]

I was concentrating really hard on cleaning up some small details when it happened. Then as I composed myself, he paints the entire picture, including 7 year old daughter. Definitely need a Not Safe For Painting (NSFP) warning on episodes like this. :)

[@ninovagus1297]

Guys I'm trying to paint here...I'm at 12 minutes and I had to stop like 6 times because I was chuckeling so hard I couldn't draw a straight line. Hilarious!

[@matthewhickey7858]

AK's site is the best, and they ship in ...like literal minutes. I ordered a few weeks ago from their EU website on a Monday night East Coast time, had it in hand Thursday mid-day. DHL is voodoo.

[@tinaprice4948]

I have a question. I am a noob when it comes to painting and would love to find someone in my area that I can go watch paint or take lessons from. Hobby shops are closed, where can I look online to find something like that , a class or a one on one session? I have watched lots of online videos but there is something to be said about in person.

[@renmomo3510]

"i like seeing an innocent character get totally corrupted" have you seen any hentai, i feel like that may be up your alley

[@joshpickering5039]

Scott, check it the Magic card “Pensive Minotaur” for inspo on your ogre diorama

[@cavemanworkshop]

Sounds like “Shart Week” started early this year...💩 I guess Tendiecon will need to be renamed to Depend-iecon. Also, FU Jon ;)

[@bryal7811]

I feel like there's some Vietnam war paintings and even dioramas made similar to what Jon is thinking of

[@JakeDogg-RIP]

Night lords trilogy is my favourite!! *spoiler alert* Talos (the best night lord, who speaks of why he became an astartes) hooking his favourite artificer slave, septimus, up with a hot navigator slave, octavia, to make a baby for his gene seed to be put into when he dies!

[@JoshuaSmith-wh2rf]

If you guys argue for the sake of arguing, it’s going to sound contrived. If you agree, you agree. Most friends seem to think 💭 in a similar fashion, but it would be interesting to hear about the different approaches you guys take for the conceptual and creative process.

[@adamholt5395]

Scott, this would be a perfect time to replicate the fat caterpillar from A Bug's Life for your KDM model. This would be a great throw back to one of your conversations with John in an earlier podcast. Here's your reference pixar.fandom.com/wiki/Heimlich

[@adamholt5395]

Jon I think you meant to say "You want Pirate Vampires to look more like Jack Sparrow instead of Cap'n Crunch."

[@anthonymuller1223]

Having read no lore, regarding vampire pirates. Is that why they maybe, like in Total War Warhammer with the Vampire Coast. Is that why they have things like hex wraiths, and scurry monsters, and wights? So when they sleeping they got some scary ass minions to do their bidding? Or like in Underworld, they had lycans to do their day time chores. Is an all vampire army at a real disadvantage vs other death faction armies because theyd have to be vulnerable during daytime? Sorry, I just thought of this lol

[@tinaprice4948]

Pirate vampires would have humanoids, live humanoids that are their slave/ blood supply that sail during the day, maybe like people that one day wish to be turned into vampires?

[@mini-paintingpapa]

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with people getting along. I think there are definitely times where Jon and Scott don’t agree, but it’s not necessary for them to manufacture controversy. I mean what really draws me to you guys is your shared interest and passion for the hobby. Keep it up, keep it real and most importantly, F U Josh. Lol

[@baitbait65]

What does a gene seed look like?

[@Ninjon]

A wiffle ball with some slimy tentacles. At least that’s what I see.

[@bellefleur4089]

[@bboyrickoshea]

Yooooooo! Don't disagree just for us viewers. One of my favourite things about this podcast is the fact that it's just a couple of homeboys chilling and chatting away. Fu*# you Josh!! 😉

[@mikkel456123]

Takes a real man to tell 12000 people you shit your pants because you wanted to finish a plastic figure 😂😂

[@Draknishar]

Hey Scott look up curse of the vampire coast. ;)

[@Miniac]

But I don't like pirate vampires!

[@vitaliisharapov3305]

@Jon, James Wappel has multiple videos on his channel where he paints miniatures in oil, some of them are quite recent Edit: were -> where

[@apocalypticmoth6040]

Please make, “I’m going down the Pringle’s can” into an inside joke

[@devincrawford154]

FU Josh!

[@orrinellis856]

vampire thralls like peasants or cultists but w/ less free will, aka juice boxes
