[@222gordon]

Another great video, thanks. I especially enjoyed the later diorama part. I'm amazed at how much detail and atmosphere you can fit in such a small space. I would like you to know that I have been watching KZbin videos for at least a decade and this video is the first ever that enticed me to actually buy the product shown on your ‘sponsors’ slot. The ‘advert’ was very amusing and I thought my brother - we were both born in Scotland - would love to boast about the fact he is indeed a Laird, or a Lord. So I went ahead and bought him the title for Christmas. My only regret being, after he puts the framed proclamation on his wall, is the fact that his lovely wife will have to put up with him boasting about it to friends when they stay over. Thanks again for another - not just informative video - but a very entertaining one to boot 5⭐'s Oh and just to add, I saved $5 with your discount code and after confirmation of the sale, Established Titles asked where I heard about them, I clicked on KZbin and entered your channel name

[@GiverThought]

Dear Alex, I find it ironic that I finally clicked through to support your Patreon on a "paint space marine for money" video while I haven't painted a space marine in over 10 years and I don't plan to soon. I mostly paint Infinity models and various board game pieces for D&D. Yet I am now, very proudly, a Sneaky Musical Floating Dead Kangaroo. To be honest I had chosen to contribute more than views to your channel some time ago, but I had not yet acted on that choice. It was a "when" not an "if." But your thoughtful discussion on the reading of zealous violent doctrine taking so central a role in "heroic" lore hit me (yet again) in a way that KZbin videos seldom do. And it was time I pay in. This was not the first video of yours that ushered me into a state beyond entertained or informed. I was contemplative; inhabiting that often ephemeral space of simultaneous peacefulness and disquiet that perhaps produces the most moving ponderings. The nature of your work often invites me there. So please, do carry on doing what you are doing. I really dig the whole painting and crafting thing, regardless of discussions on the place of gaming lore in our psyche or society. Also please let us know if you are ever invited to read for an audiobook. I will patiently await your next video, and I eagerly await the next time I manage to join you (and other viewers) during a live painting session here on KZbin. All my best, Steve

I'm very much enjoying this series of space authoritarian licensed murderer dioramas

[@52Miniatures]

Ha ha! Me too!

[@Mikey__R]

The totally non-evil space vampires next?

[@1x1.studio]

Me too, 100% agreed

[@Mekhami]

i'd love to see the inverse; an out-of-dimension legolas standing over the bodies of arrow-pierced space marines. that'd be hilarious

[@AbelDuviant]

I foresee angry Warhammer fans in that future and I love it

[@MrFredstt]

Using a Space Wolf and a mutant pig to recreate a classic tale is genius

[@Stunnedape]

There’s a handful of creators I follow without speeding up the playback speed and Alex is one of them. That’s how much I enjoy the narrations in his videos! 🙌🏼

[@52Miniatures]

Thank you P 🙏

[@fischziege]

Alex, that track is a banger! I'm looking for sci Fi ambiance for work all the time, and I would put an hour of this on repeat! Please, more!

[@52Miniatures]

Thanks Tim!

[@maxbrandt6]

One half Darren Latham, one half Bjorn Lynn, you are talented 52 Miniatures guy!

[@warherd_miniatures]

You've quickly become my favorite painter on KZbin. Everything about your videos is so inspiring and pleasing to watch and listen to. Amazing work as always ☺️

[@52Miniatures]

Thank you so much Sullivan.

[@wj_owen]

That was just amazing... The quality of the video. The music. The ad... I'm totally going to become a lord! Not least the actual diorama. I am now not scared of trying some oil paints. Truly inspiring. Well done. Helt otroligt. Tack.

[@52Miniatures]

Well thank you very much for letting me know Switch, I appreciate it. Tack!

[@dickassley5171]

It would be cool if there was a yellow LED filament coming off of the spacemarine's gun, but that may be hard to wire up

[@Doppelwulf]

"that's the wolfies" cracked me up!

[@markfrommontana]

Alex. Magnificent. I recall you disparaging your freehand painting skills, and then I saw you paint the wolf. Well done! The combo of oils and acrylics on this Space Marine are just incredible in terms of shade, texture and depth. I will NEVER paint a Space Marine, but I will watch this video again and again. And yes, I even watched the Established Titles Sponsorship Video for a second time, remembering how much I enjoyed it on the first go around AND I bought a title for my brother-in-law. All in all, you made my day, and come Christmas you'll be making my brother-in-law's day. Thank you!

[@52Miniatures]

Great Mark! And nice for your brother in law! Will you have to call him Mi Lord after that? And yes, I do try and challenge myself. I practiced painting the wolf head on a piece of paper about 5 times and then went for it. I’m glad it worked out :)

[@GlennDeering]

I totally appreciate your comments of the cleansing. I my self got into Warhammer with the Rouge Trader book. I was amazed that there was a system of gaming that was everything I was into, minis, terrain and a whole gaming system. Then I started reading the lore., had to look past it to keep playing because I loved the idea of the game but not sure I could go with the underlying concepts.

[@quitamgogh]

The musical interlude melts face, man. We need MOAR!!!!

[@52Miniatures]

[@themainman2827]

So the wolf knocked on the armored door and said: "Little pigs! Little pigs! Let me in! Let me in!" But the little green pigs saw the wolf's narrow eyes through the survilance cameras, so they answered back: "No! No! No! Not by the hairs on our chinny chin chin!" So the wolf showed his teeth, raised his meltagun, and said: "Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your bunker down!"

[@DashaModels]

Nice painting job. I like

[@52Miniatures]

Thank you Dasha!

[@StormcastMarine]

I don't have the words to describe how entertaining your videos are. Those outside the hobby are missing out. Well done Alex.

[@52Miniatures]

Thank you humbly SM

[@TheGrayfrog100]

I'm cheering for the Pig Guy as well. Brilliant build good sir.

[@boardgamewoodsman8378]

Love it! As someone who works in construction I've long struggled with the moral of that story....don't build your house with sticks or straw...only bricks or stone, yet most houses are built of wood. What about Timber Framed houses that have stood for centuries? Or thatched roofs and turf roofs that have been around forever and are more environmentally friendly choices?

[@52Miniatures]

And what about the bit of putting wolfs in barrels and rolling them down hills? Just makes very little sense.

[@EdwinK-13]

Out of the park! Another flawless victory! The concrete work is awsome. I am strangle hungry for pulled pork!

[@52Miniatures]

Thanks SD!

[@magnusmillerwilson]

Yeah there were a couple of times that I laughed out loud in this one. The part about the pig’s surprise when the bolt gun blast blew a hole in his wall in particular. That was easy to imagine.

[@tobiwan80]

Funny thing/fact: I first saw an Image of the piece on Instagram. And not knowing or reading what it was about, I almonst instantly was thinking of the story of the wolve an the 3 pigs. So the diaorma works perfectly. I really like your work and videos. please keept it up. this can´t be said often enough. Your videos are a great source of inspiration for me.

[@52Miniatures]

Thank you Tobias, I appreciate it.

[@ironbomb6753]

Seeing 52 Miniatures with that Age of Darkness box set gives me exciting goosebumps! ❤👍 And that music is freaking excellent. I could paint to it.

[@sweatilaa5325]

in case anyone is wondering, the mega xenophobia shown by humanity in 40K wasn't really the Emperor's idea. From 30k to 40k a lot changed and the ecclesiarchy, inquisition, and high lords or terra all compete for power and they all enjoy fear as a tool. For example, the noble beastmen were seen as regular abhumans, like ratlings and similar, but then the ecclesiarchy and inquisition decided that they are now mutants and should be killed. It would be interesting to see what Big E thought about the situation in 40k seeing how far it has gotten from his original idea.

[@horuslupercalaurelian1569]

Must be the most lethal and dangerous pig mutant. So dangerous the Imperium needs to deploy Astartes to take it out.

[@Matt-md5yt]

Glad you did this my friend. I love your "what if" series.

[@52Miniatures]

Thanks Matt!

[@mvk9418]

your take on the whole "hyper violent genocidal rampage" aspect of 40k kinda makes me interested to see if you could do anything using their miniatures to paint a nicer, happier, peaceful picture, while still making use of the models or general setting

[@52Miniatures]

That’s a good point and a good idea M VK 👍

[@Gokou3036]

Super interesting technique, I don’t think I’ve seen it anywhere before and I watch a fair bit about mini painting

[@coalitionofrob436]

Well done on the music also! Your Chanel’s one of the last Warhammer Chanel’s I bother to watch, since there is a bit of learning in there with a strong dose of fun themes and excellent video production.

[@hakbash7588]

The pig is very cool. But I’m afraid he is about to be purged in the Emperor’s name.

[@Coabeous]

You should have placed your Hobbit with the bolt hole in between the Marine and the wall, but you would probably need to stand the Hobbit on a box. A big box.

[@joshgladfelter9597]

Beautiful work, and I appreciate your philosophical dive into the spirit of Warhammer.

[@jonnil1997]

Appreciate your thought about the depiction of violence and genocide in these games, as a grown man I have done a lot of reflection about the gruesome war video games like Call of Duty played as a kid, something quite disturbing and not good about the whole thing IMO. Fantasy and Sci Fi things feel better since they are more removed but still worth thinking about and not getting in a habid of romanticizing war. Combat is a good short hand to present conflict, drama and competition in games of all kind, but I think it would do us good if it wasnt always the standard. I wonder what a miniature wargame/skirmisch game would look like if it was about something completly different? A game where you move around minis and use abilities to grow a garden, cook food or clean the enviorment, haha I would try something like that.

[@stephenspackman5573]

Here we witness the culmination of a centuries-long baconisation process, I don't doubt.

One of the nicest hobby videos, I've seen lately 😊. The SW got a bit more considerate approach in the "later" 40K lore though. But you're right the always-mass-murder-all-the-time aspect of 40K tends to become a bit tedious...

[@isakalmqvist1683]

Awsome as always Alex! It's really another level of creativity and inspiration, thank you!

[@52Miniatures]

Tack Isak!

[@monkeyhammer]

The 40k background is like a teenage first attempt at edgy satire, complete with homages to better fiction that border on plagiarism. It's very surprising to me that the rough edges weren't sanded away over the years by the corporate machine as it became such a successful franchise. But I guess in a lot of cases they paper over the genocide and xenophobia in the fiction, as most of it is focused on fighting Chaos, which paints the imperium in a much more favourable light when contrasted to actual demons.

[@magnusmillerwilson]

I’d buy an entire album of your stuff to play behind my 40k games!!!

[@robert2pkt0]

I love how you worded your perspective on the genocide focus of Warhammer. Though the Universe opens up to less Grim Dark factions and the company behind it officially welcomes everyone openly, a strong fan base seems to want to stick to the direness and to take a parody from the 80s real serious.

[@Wijkert]

Definitely digging the concrete explosion effect!

[@makeshiftminis9090]

Excellent work, I really enjoy your dioramas of space Marines terrorizing storybook characters.

[@doctortomato9520]

I understand what you are saying about the violence, genocide, and other terrible things in Warhammer, but I think that is only problematic when we forget the the humans (or more specifically the imperium) are in fact, not the good guys. When treated as the grave warning the setting is, it is fine in my opinion. The only issue is how common it is that people forget this and begin thinking that the imperium is good and completely justified.

Ps: just finished watching the video, and got to say that the Colors are amazing, the still shots in the end make the final result really enjoyable! Regarding the moral of the original story, I guess it’s mean to say that pigs are omnivores? 😂 that’s the only moral I can come up with! Regarding your thoughts on 40K, hope everyone reaches the end of the video and finishes listening before replying. I am also curious to read if this sparks some interesting discussion! I was worried the length of the video was a bit excessive but instead I think it has the right pace and it fit the narrative and the paint job.
