We Build Entire Warhammer Armies For £50

1:10 That's awesome, i've always wanted to learn how to airbrush children!

[@Pyre001]

Imagine going through a second hand Warhammer store and seeing how people have used the base ready stuff you have designed. That has to be pretty great...

[@UncleJessy]

Oh man i love the bit about painting over someone else’s already painted models. That actually seems like a lot of fun. Would actually be kinda cool for people who are looking to get started with painting minis as a less intimidating starting point

[@hiddensecreturl]

Totally agree! Gave me a whole new way to think about that - which means more preowned models will be going to a loving home: mine, heh heh.

[@Bluecho4]

It also sounds like an interesting challenge. Taking the scaffolding someone else has already built, and adding your own touches. Working within an outline someone left for you, and making it work.

[@NebuchadnezzarAquaticus]

Good art is never finished, it's abandoned

[@nathangedamke2041]

Can confirm, I have done way more experimenting trying to find a paint scheme on the tau that I got used than the ones I bought new.

[@JavierEscuelIa]

Except... when you buy a Lord of Skulls for 120 and find out that painting the little fiddly bits inside are so much harder when it's all red.

[@yeoboshong]

I miss being able to buy the miniatures cheap. In NZ there's an automatic +35% cost to brand new kits from GW. Second hand models are very expensive as well.

That shop seems like a place of dreams. Affordability, huge range of minis to choose from & just good vibes 🤩 Nice video 🤙🏼

[@martintaylor570]

That store looks like some kind of timeless realm mashing old and new together! Love it! Also making it affordable for kids again is something close to my heart now I have a son. It's something that GW has made impossible for us as a family due to excessive cost. This is fantastic.

[@danielmorgan5949]

That looks like a really cool shop. Kind of like an Op-shop purely for wargaming. There needs to be more shops like this one in the world.

[@RPRsChannel]

Most used wargaming armies needs some lovelovelove, but 90% of the work is done before you start touchups. If you spend that extra time on highlighting, adding some washes, oils, ect, it usually looks even better. And presto, you have an army, like in your video. **Ahhhh** 50% of the hobby is cutting sprues, gluing assembling, priming and that's not with the wait times in-between. Since I outsourced the assembly, gluing, priming of my minis, I have at least 50% more time to paint-if I wanted to use that time on painting. Having someone taking care of my minis in that way is a time and frustration saver. There's just something so satisfying about having that bit of the hobby ready for when YOU are ready to paint.

[@Ninjon]

AND THE PICKLE Edit: ok, finished the video. This was such a feel good story of two good guys doing wholesome hobby stuff. They're goofy friend brought it down a bit, but seems like folk I'd like to hang out with. 10/10 would recommend

I found mirfield miniatures a couple of years ago! It's amazing that you have picked mark and his excellent shop up on your radar. It's a great shop and has pretty much built my death guard army. I have done a few vids thanking mark for sorting me out with some amazing stuff!!!

[@CrazyCrafterLivestream]

Great video Luke, glad you guys supported such a great store. Loved your approach with the paint job on the models. Always a joy when you get to take a road trip with friends.

[@grimfantastic1764]

THIS!!!! Is why the days of STORES and GW are numbered!!! The death toll has sounded.. and it echos with the resounding words "3D RESIN PRINTER"... Because.. Even tho, 5 or 6 years ago this store would have sounded like a HAVEN!!! An absolute dream come true.. NOW!!! It sounds EXPENSIVE!!!! When u consider a 5000 point army.. (or cough cough the equiv.. models.. ) for £250 worth of resin.. u can print out 3,4.. even 5 5000 point armies.. and i dont care what ANYONE says.. the quality is SO good these days.. it seriously gives ANY injection mould a run for their money.. esp when u take into consideration the cost AND the flexibility.. dont like the size of a certain mini?? PRINT IT BIGGER!!! You can even use BLENDER to BONE pretty much ANY STL MODEL.. and then ALTER its POSE!!! POSITION.. Even resculpt certain parts if u have the skill... When u look at the opposite side of the coin.. which is a GREEDY company that has charged FAR!!!! too much for FAR!!! too long.. its an absolute no brainer.. GW no longer hold a monopoly on OUR HOBBY.. Not only this.. The models that are being produced from kickstarters and even FREE vendors (most of the time) put the GW models to shame.. I cant tell you how many times ive seen someone print off a MIND BLOWING mini.. compared it to GW prices.. KNOWING it would have cost you about £50 to £60.. and then finding out it cost £2 worth of resin!!! If this doesnt KILL GW... i will be MASSIVELY surprised.. The only upside in the GW direction that i can see coming from all this.. is the fact that they will FINALLY!!! be forced to listen to the community.. and start adding things that people actually want.. instead of ignoring them.. its the ONLY trump card i can see them owning right now.. (fyi.. the CAPS are for emphasis only.. im not crazy or angry :) )

[@BarokaiRein]

What a fantastic store and good video as always but man ever since I got into resin printing it really just highlighted how insanely expensive the hobby is even when you buy stuff second hand. Like my army of 4 mega gargants ended up costing me at most 15 euros in resin. That project alone was enough to pay for both the photon mono and wash and cure machine two times over. I wonder where GW prices will be like 5 years from now since more and more people have printers at home and that whole thing is just snowballing. I'd assume they'd just keep going up since it's GW but the second hand prices might also be the first hand prices sooner rather than later,you never know.

[@Seelenschmiede]

I bought the "new" land raider when it was new and paid 35 bucks. Now, the exact same model with the exact same flaws and errors, is at 65 bucks. Why? What a bummer...

[@herculeholmes504]

*Four* Mk1 Land Raiders! They were goofy looking tanks even by 1980's standards; the bottom of the tracks were far too short, but somehow it was always a must-have model to get. I think part of the appeal was that they were pretty easy to convert or kitbash - not as easy as the Mk1 Rhinos, but still a doddle compared to working with the modern versions.

[@TheKesslerFoundation]

Plus the early kits contained two models.

I think that services like this can be great, this particular store sounds like it's run with a good ethos. It's never been for me though, the largest part of the hobby for me has always, and likely will always, be the building and modelling. That said I look at the £50 haul and I look at the £50 single figure before me and I would be lying if I didn't question myself on occasion.

[@bitzbox]

We need more shops like Mirfield Miniatures. Besides being an Aladdin's cave of goodness, it goes some way to balance out GW's current price insanity, allowing people to get into the hobby who might otherwise be turned off by the costs.

Oh my god if I'm ever up by their I'm definitely going. Seems my type of place. Also I love taking half painted stuff or some such and giving it new life.

Fun Fact: driving to the next airport, flying over to the UK, driving to the store, buying a whole army there and driving / flying back home is propably still cheaper than said army from GW directly. And I can squeeze two days of holiday int here too. So the girl would be happy too.
