Absolutely love that each of the painting collectives and guilds have completely different logo styles, peak miniature brain.

[@insertname48]

Love seeing youtubers get into the competitive painting scene. Beginner friendly tutorials are great, but sometimes it’s cool to see the higher levels of painting

[@columbatiberius2176]

So... Jazza does some Dune art, Dave getting Dune visions from coffee... when's the Dune-themed Army video?

[@iiruniaalice1764]

Coffee Al Gaib!!!! You've made Hans Zimmer proud xD. That intro was 20 out of 10. I'm glad you guys are sharing more of your experiences

[@feigned_ignis426]

Talking to you guys was probably one of the highlights of the events. Getting actual feedback was amazing and really got me back into the spirit of mini painting (you're so right about walking in and going 'oh, oh, I am not at the same level as these guys' by the way). I've already started prep work for next years entry so I don't end up painting a miniature two weeks before the event!

[@TabletopTime]

We can't wait to see what you come up with!

[@jessicahawkins669]

. . . So, Dave is being further corrupted by Chaos? And they gods are using coffee to do it? Interesting tactic. This was an interesting trip down the journey you’ve all taken. Thank you, Jenn, Dave and Murray, for sharing your process and the stories with us. And…I can’t believe I missed Arcfest! I was hoping to go this year. Hope you all had fun.

[@TabletopTime]

Thankyou! Yes arcfest was well worth attending

[@danielkearney1815]

"I care about this, and I want to get good." Yep, I've yoinked that, and it's on my whiteboard in the Hobby Dojo. Thanks for the video, TableTopTimeTeam!

[@TylerProvick]

Open Painting competitions are my favorite. They give paints much more than something with just a 1st, 2nd, 3rd. If you're coming every year with the same judges you can actually see your progression, and there's a reason to enter even if you aren't the best painter. I find they also tend to encourage more conversations with the painters, which I love. Most people don't win painting competitions. Most people don't win tournaments, but they get to play. Open Painting competition lets painters "play" by hanging out with their peers.

[@hobbycrusaider4468]

Awesome video, thanks for sharing your experiences at ArcFest and for shouting out and supporting the painting guilds. Looking forward to see what happens next on you display painting journey.

[@serpentartist1348]

These are all incredible. Jen's lava OSL came out stunning, to the point where it took me a second to realise the base wasn't actually glowing lol

[@SamFromSpaceOfficial]

I love the new format that you guys are going for! Would love to have more of these podcast style episodes to watch/listen to while studying. (*lisan al dave confirmed?????????*)

[@VMetalic7]

Worm is in my coffee 😆😆😆 Malcador Squadrons and Stormhammer... finally! Hopefully Predators, Sicarans and Leman Russes will be available separately!

[@paintertovey]

This was a great video. I entered my first competition in the last year. At the beginning I had the same apologetic feelings, but later became inspired after seeing all of the creativity regardless of skill levels. The few competitions I've been to have felt like a celebration of everyone's work rather than something truly competitive. I recommend anyone to give it a go even if you don't think you're good enough because that feeling won't go away until you just go for it!

[@mickmcgovern4814]

Thank you guys for showcasing Orky Python and Da Quest for Da Big Glowin' Cup. Got a big chuckle out of that.

[@1glenngary]

I like them all! But, Jenn, you knocked it out of the park!

[@dartagnanwilliams4972]

Deltora Quest was mentioned!! This was and still is my favorite childhood book series

[@BitzboxTV]

I really love how you all went for completely different miniatures and they all look superb! Great work.

[@innocentBystander19]

Really infectious enthusiasm. I guarantee this video has pushed at least a few people to try it for themselves! Also Jen's model blew me away! Love when she shows her stuff, because it skews toward fantasy and that model is insane. Beautiful sculpt, lots of different textures, multiple light sources because of the torch. Really well done, she should be very proud.

[@charon0815]

Holy **** Jen. That looks insane. All of you did an amazing job but if i had to pick one….. Jen 100% crazy

[@willgrealy1727]

I'm entering my first competition piece in 5 years. A local event in Norwich, UK is holding an open painting competition. I think the open format is brilliant and not as cut throat as the GD format 😊 The event is called Diceni and is the only event (AFAIK) in the UK that is free and open to the general public :-)

[@bmaclvy508]

I started watching TTT for the cool videos on their incredibly inspiring conversations, and jaw dropping painting projects. But now I stay just for Dave’s coffee bits 😂

[@JasonPoley]

Was lovely to meet you all this year, your minis looked great in the cases!

[@Howzee87]

Great work on your competition minis! Absolutely love the lighting on Jen’s. Please keep it up with the coffee skits 😂

[@susannahlewis8464]

I'm enjoying this new podcast-y format!

[@louisrosario9717]

Applause all around! Entering a competition is very vulnerable. I know that being in KZbin is vulnerable but a competition of your peers is very different and you all did great! Also, a bit extra kudos to Murray for facilitating the conversation, really great questions and kept the story going in such an engaging way!

[@marlinman0179]

So cool to see my painted mini on a youtube video!! this was my first paint contest too! moved to melbourne recently and have been enjoying the thriving gaming culture down here. Unfortunately I wasn't able to participate much due to my work schedule but it was cool to see how I am going compared to others in AUS and I learned a lot just but visually seeing all the winning entries. Thanks for the video crew!

[@dirtydomino]

Never have i entered a painting contest till the 24 hour one, but nothing cant beat that feeling of getting knocked out first.

[@Rook986]

I love how you can see the different painting styles on each model.

[@wrightrj03yt]

[@justanotherloreaddict]

Wow! These were all so amazing and Jen's model blew me away with how lovely the colors are.

[@SimonMeskens]

I was already in with this new format, but I didn't expect y'all to improve at the banter so rapidly. This was an absolute treat to watch. Normally I put these on in the background, this time I was watching intently the whole time.

[@brisingr0962]

All three of those models look FANTASTIC no matter what. You all did great!

[@mellily6178]

Congrats! It was nice to see you all at ArcFest. I loved looking at all the models you had there on display. All I could manage was Hi, as it is weird knowing/seeing your hobby collecting/painting experiences, but I am just a random stranger from your perspective lol.

[@TabletopTime]

Never be afraid to start a chat! Always happy to meet people, thanks for saying hi!

[@mellily6178]

[@Me-th3gj]

You're all amazing! I'm lucky that I get to see your talents on a regular basis. I can relate to those contest deadlines being very stressful and wishing there was more time to add further detail. Love how we all help each other to grow as artists.

[@marksclanam]

Thanks for showing off the armies from Arc of Sigmar. Great seeing these again without competing against them.

[@BelIa42]

This video was so fun. All your minis look amazing. I'm especially captivated by Jenn's mini. All those different textures and lighting bouncing of from the surfaces. Just awesome!

[@sukipaints]

Thank you so much for the guild shoutouts! Can confirm it's incredibly inspiring to be with everyone and learn. Also I absolutely adore Jens model.

[@erikbraun473]

All the minis looked great! Your excitement about it was infectious and motivating! Jens Morathi in particular looked incredible!!!!

[@nmotta9558]

Funny that you referenced Brian Blessed, as he is actually the voice of Gotrek Gurnisson in both the Total War Games AND in the AoS Realmslayer audioplays (which I highly reccomend).

[@multiple_oranges]

I loved the coffee gag and I loved this video! The minis looked fantastic. Can't wait for Saturday!

[@SpectreAtYourFeast]

It was great seeing you at ArcOpen! My sister and I entered for the first time this year, and yeah totally understand that feeling of “oh I’m out of my depth”. Jen’s OSL on Morathi was stunning to see in person. I only wish I’d asked for feedback on my 24hr Blood Angel. OH WAIT THERE IT IS AT 28:41

[@chad534]

I remember my first real painting competition I was so excited looking at my model next to the others. Excitement and disbelief as people commented on how nice my model was and saying it should win. Then...at the last minute a Golden Daemon winner brought his model and I knew...it was so much better than mine. He won...

[@TommoT_83]

You guys should come down to the Melbourne figure painters collective meet up. It's a really great community that's being built up.

[@reliabledm8516]

Other people read Deltora Quest! I loved those books as a kid. Made me happy to see it pop up again, and I can totally see the resemblance.

[@Brodie337]

I'd love to see you guys cover some Battletech. They have a huge kickstarter shipping soon with a bunch of new minis.

[@sophia_comicart]

With Ninjon sharing a portion of his golden demon process, would you consider doing the same thing? Show your design process maybe a mid way and then an end video after competition? This was great and seeing more people enter makes me think I might try too.

[@aroncheek5092]

Near end of video and you guys mention orks, I love the orks was one of what I painted back 30 years ago and I'm painting Ork boy whilst I've been watching 😊

[@ClarissaMeyer]

I do not feel ready to enter any painting competitions. But I loved hearing off your experience, your minis are stunning!

[@BucketPls]

So, since you mentioned that you wanted to talk about a more global range of mini painting stuff; I always wondered if there were other brands to be recommended for a similar experience as building a Warhammer mini? The main reason I mainly look at Warhammer minis is because I am not that big of a fan of pre-build designs, so I would love to hear some alternatives in a video maybe one day? Could be nice to hear the pro/cons of certain brands, finding more ways to kitbash, and in general a broader range of painting/building projects to do from time to time!

[@dominicdussault95]

Ow wow, love to see this

[@jazzrandall]

Video sponsored by Orange Fanta? Hahaha. Love your guys content. Australia and going to your shop and meeting you guys is a bucket list item.

[@edwardwestmoreland-caunter6128]

Such an inspiring video, and I loved the coffee bit! Question: Could you do a video on the best ways to start out on model painting? As a newcomer to the hobby, it's hard to know what to prioritise, especially if you're working with a tight budget. Much love from the UK!

[@MisterF946]

Would love a video on how you did the stippling on the cloak, it came out great!

Well done on your entries loved them all , it's Great to keep learning, I'm in the UK central London,close to bad moon cafe , I'm on the cusp of packing my painting gear and doing some painting whilst I have a coffee and watch some gaming as I don't know how to play 40k but have started building armies.

[@TabletopTime]

She did such an amazing job, if she'd just had the extra time she wanted to smooth out all the blends and put on final spot highlights (she planned to) it would have been a real contender for a medal

[@mikewicked.x]

The S dragons were the dragon models I grew up with, and I was never really a fan. The 2-headed chaos dragon was my favourite*, but even so, the design didn't really do it for me. I do appreciate them more now, as i do have a better understanding of the limitations they were working with both in sculpting and casting, so maybe I like them a little more? Not sure if I'll ever try hunt one down though. *The later plastic High Elf dragon is nicer - i guess the lighter material meant they could try new tricks in posing. I am super keen to get the Marauder Giant though. I loved it as a kid, and i still prefer it to the lanky blobby gargants that came later.
