Trying to paint my backlog in a week! (Satisfying)

I gave myself an entire week to just paint stuff from my backlog. No other requirements, just to get some of the Warhammer projects i've been wanting out of the way and to get some creative freedom!

I would definitely watch a series of you just working on your backlog! It gets me right in the mood of painting

I came to the comments to say the same thing.

Yesssss, please I’d love to watch that

Every one of these looks great, keep goin!!! :-)

[@serpentine8124]

Figured a lot of quick paints to get backlog done, but amount of detail you put into each mode, even skeletons/mummies, amazing!. Love the editing style too, makers videos so fun to watch

[@dhamaphorndharma8507]

Oh my gosh that advertisement 🤣 You sir, deserve an Oscar! ‘Gimme your money” 😂😂😂

[@RFhe]

I love these big batch videos - I know it's hard to paint this much but its great to see the variety and progress.

[@brumbz513]

Shock!! Minis painting content provider actually spends the week doing regular painting! Really enjoyed this, and Emil I think you maybe did too? Great to see you just do some normal painting on normal minis, keep doing this occasionally, amongst the cool out-there stuff of course!

[@poserrrify]

Yea, felt like half my backlog disappeared too. We need a few more of these

[@marcush2001]

Painter holds audience hostage threatening to kill cat.

[@Berserkerworks]

Really enjoying all the underpainted colours you are adding to your minis these days! They are popping!

[@francismahon2]

Would love if this became a regular series on this channel!!

[@hayashida87]

I would definitely watch more of this kind of content, gets me pumped to paint my backlog!

[@tijndoesburg5008]

You HAVE to make a serie about this! This is amazing🔥🔥

[@Humatra]

Love this kind of video, super inspirational and fun to watch. Keep at it Emil!

[@stonkhistory3658]

Emil, this video is insane! Not just cos of the painting (that’s always insane) but the noticeable improvements in editing, pace, humour and everything else! Good frickin job man!

A very relaxing and cathartic video. Makes inspired to tackle my own pile of plastic. Keep up the good work!

[@monkeymoon9176]

I really enjoy watching a lot of your videos but this one is my favorite just cause of how simple it was just some nice fun painting

[@AtomicNik]

Normally I hate the plugs but THIS was a great commercial. Keep on the pile you got this!

[@sardararkhan]

Dude, it was a joy to watch it. And really inspiring. I need to not be lazy and take time out for my own minis instead of just doing commissions and sculpting! Thanks for the motivation! And I really liked this video! AR

[@AdnanCucak]

Emil: "I havnt finished this commission in over a year" Miniac: "Pathetic, those are rookie numbers"

[@killswitch3005]

Doesn’t the owner of the commission pester you?

[@yeoboshong]

I liked watching these sorts of videos. You should keep making more of these challenge videos.

[@McCool117]

You should definitely make this an ongoing series of reducing your backlog, though I would've loved to see a more in-depth video of your Lunar Shrine and that commission piece you finished.

[@PrimalLuxrays]

I would love to see this as a series!

[@Jedi_Scowen]

I was an Undead player back in the 90's. Skeletons were easy. White primer, brown wash all over, dry brush with bleached bone and finish with black for eyes, white for teeth. Then weapons and shields. Individually they looked good but as a massive unit they were great

[@Justinshaffer1993]

Please please PLEASE, do another one of these!!!

[@simonmeir6601]

I love these skeletons! Great job in such a short time!

[@Gamarishi]

Your editing in this video was top notch!

[@d-emprahexpects]

Love the Imperial Fists captain/dude. Not too find of the effect on the fabric but all the NMM looks awesome and the yellow is great too!

[@blablablabla3014]

Really nice, please Do more, ive got very inspired to start working on my own pile of shame!

[@Omniescent]

Do this as a series once a month! I really enjoyed this

[@grantandrews2755]

Soo awesome everything looks incredible

[@Blottingpaper]

It's great seeing people with such a huge level of skill also take an inordinate amount of time on miniatures, it makes me feel like I'm not awfully slow and that painting does take time.

[@orenfox4828]

Loving the new style of videos, keep going!

[@rednaxelA11]

bought your element games collab paint starter set... vallejo dark sea blue has not just become my favourite paint (I use it for EVERYTHING) it has literally become my favourite colour. mad props.

[@Tindessa]

Iiiih! I'm so happy to see more heroquest stuff. I'm so inspired to take my parent heroquest minis and paint them.

[@lehannaallen]

I would love to see more videos like this - it inspires me to get my backlog done, too.

Great job, keep working like this!

[@huwtindall7096]

The editing in this video is absolutely outstanding! So much fun.

Wow! Sure makes me feel better about my backlog of 832! I'm in the habit of buying more when I haven't cleared it. Hope yours has cleared a little more since posting :)

[@marcelhoche1544]

Outstanding whao Great Job and nice colours i love it all 🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@cartouchator]

I'm getting tattoo artist vibes from your painting style, love it !

[@MrAndersonMusic056]

Do more of these! Very motivating lol

[@Embracerer]

Extremely impressed with the skeletons and mummies. But overall just at the seemingly low effort of painting those freehand green cobblestones. That would take me as much time as you used on the giant moon shrine, for 1 base.

[@morganw.4711]

I love videos like this- it feels kind of collaborative. We can work while you work!

[@johnenator]

The title didn't lie, that was satisfying indeed.

[@echorome6260]

The best thing about hero quest is batch painting with an airbrush then applying highlights

[@3rdForfar]

To be fair, this is the type of content I love from you, so if you could just do another one, or more, of these then that would be great!!

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

Just one more

@@SquidmarMiniatures can I persuade you to do two? ;) haha

What kind of necromancy is this invisible spray paint!? Inspiring video. We all have things we could be painting this week.

[@dellaj86]

[@TheCatHerder]

I'd love to see a video (or a squidminis) on how you put the light into the loonstone

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

I did one, it's among my first videos on this channel :)

[@thatguyfromaus1]

Great video! I'd love to see more just like this, it's like a little surprise not knowing what you're going to paint next.

[@NoxArcana92]

So much fun. I wonder if the commissioner remembered they were waiting on this 😂

[@Basedweaboo]

I think a lot of painting youtubers suffer from this, but I feel that if you're just trying to get through your backlog, painting mini's to a lower standard to your best is totally acceptable. Wish you the best in getting through the other 2000

[@finlaybullough499]

What honestly just watch a series of this. It’s oddly satisfying seeing that number drop

[@markwilson46]

Completing more projects and seeing that number tick down would be great to see/follow!

[@zacchurch9203]

I really need to see a part two... and the rest of the series

[@Meuduso1]

I would actually enjoy if this was a series about you reducing your backlog while we see the number go down at the end of every video.

[@tompfeiffer379]

Pls start a counter in your videos, that show how many models are unpainted and go’s up when you buy new ones

[@JundBacon]

I have a feeling Squidmar’s wife was not happy learning about how big his backlog was on KZbin. Hence this video.

[@taylord6043]

Loved the special effects ya dished out on this one. Hahaha and that news update was to die for you should almost do a skit comedy of jus telling outlandish news! Omg! You could call it “Outlandish News with bill” so funny, my favourite part would be when you where shaking paint then went to the vortex all stone cold. Epic reality shot of the turmoils of mixing miniature paints. So relatable and reliable as always Emil. Please keep it up! I’d wait ten years to get a commission from you it’s worth the wait! Wish you still did them.

[@DanSamargiu]

Where do u get those invisible spray cans from? Amazing Swedish technology!

[@spacegekko]

Such an inspiration! I’m currently attacking my own pile too although it’s not exactly 6hours a day, I wish it was but my pile isn’t anywhere near yours either. Peace out

[@christopherkelly9153]

Clearly, a man with a tiny backlog. I think it would take me six months. And somewhere in there more miniatures would show up in the mail.

[@rybrooks2020]

Where did you get that hobby drawer/paint wrack thing you have on the paint desk? I've seen a few people with them and I would love to be able to get myself one! Also amazing video, I love watching your content, and I have a huge backlog, not anywhere as big as yours, but large none the less! And watching your videos really gives me inspiration to want to get my collection painted too!

[@Ledshot]

why not do one of these videos every other month that way you've got a scheduled video idea and can fight the backlog without boring the audience

I mean I'm gonna be honest, if you wanna sell some old First Born Marines, I would sure as hell buy a few; got a deathwatch army that needs some touches and do not mind them unpainted so long as the pieces are there.

On the mummies and skeletons, did you mix the Warpstone to the beige as you highlighted up? (I'm assuming so, but I wanted to make sure.)

Need to rope in Midwinter minis. He painted like 250 orks in a week.

[@lewismcdermott3024]
