A Menagerie of Stuff! BTS #100

Dude....BTS POST #100! Shout out to the team that's been here since #1. Alright, let's get it on. Let's talk about A Song of Ice and Fire!

My buddy Curtis and I found time to get two more games of ASOIAF in. This time we were outside because the weather in MN has been beautiful the last couple of weeks...

Stream VOD (repost)

I removed the offending audio from the previous stream VOD so that people in all countries can watch w/o issue. Hope this works!

Early release!

Enjoy this early release video where I talk about ASOIAF, the new miniature war game I'm currently into!

Getting into a new game BTS #99

What up, mini family?! If you're interested in hearing about how the kickstarter is going, make sure to sign up to the mailing list for it: https://mailchi.mp/miniac/miniac-kickstarter

I'm sending out emails every Monday from now until the kickstarter and will not be giving further details here. So what else is there to talk about? SO MUCH!

Early release!

Decided to do a little youtubery style video where I paint the same mini three times but I spend 10 minutes, 1hr, and 10hrs on each trial so I can compare and contrast where my priorities lie based on how much time I have. It was a fun little experiment. Hopefully the discoveries/conclusions are valuable!

Jon v.s. Scott: SPEEDPAINTING DUEL

KS Updates, Dark Eldar Updates, and MOAR! BTS #98

WOAH! 

I never know how to start these things. Let's get into it shall we? Let's talk Dark Eldar. Since I updated you guys last some progress has been made.

Every model received a maroon basecoat. Then, if the model was ending up yellow, I gave it a zenithal coat with white ink, followed by a yellow ink filter and then a magenta filter for the shadows for larger stuff (vehicles, talo...

Trying out a bonkers camera setup painting a new character from Cursed City!

Early Release Video!

Sorry, not the dark eldar video yet. I had to take a break to pay some bills, but hopefully you enjoy the video none the less!

KS Updates, Assembling Models BTS #97

Sorry I haven't posted in a while! There hasn't been a ton going on so I saved up a lot of fun information. Let's get started!

Obviously, I finished up the building I was working on a long time ago.

Installing the windows was such a moment. I was so happy with how they turned out! One thing I didn't realize was that the weight of the left building might drag down the whole assembly. I had...

Livestream Bonanza!

Sorry, I've neglected to post live stream VODs in a bit. I upload it immediately after stream and then forget to the do the rest, my apologies! Here's a bunch!

Wood Elves, Scifi Buildings, Oh my! BTS #95

What up, mini family?! It's been a productive week. Here's what went down! This past weekend I had Benjamin Kantor over to help shoot the first "digital course" of my new Wood Elf range. This course will be similar to my Duchess course, by written/painted entirely by Ben.

This was at the end of the process when Ben was reciting his script on camera. I was getting to play as "script supervisor" ...

Live Stream VOD

This is from yesterday's live stream, just painting up more of the Witch Hunter from Cursed City. Have a good weekend!

Another Live Stream VOD!

This stream was with Ben Kantor painting a piece he sculpted inspired by the video game Valheim. I was working more on my Witch Hunter from Cursed City.

Live Stream VOD!

Sorry, forgot to post this one! This is a duo stream of Jon and I. He painted a necromancer, and I started on my Witch Hunter from Cursed City.

I'm moving slowly and I hate it BTS #94

What up, mini family?! This scifi building is turning into a bit of a nightmare as I battle against imperfect cuts and my lacking math skills. I'm slowly getting there, however. 

On top you have what will be the eventual garage for the scifi vehicles to enter into to get their repair work done. Be...

THE WOOD ELVES ARE REAL! BTS #93

OK let's deal with this click bait title first. Recently, my caster sent me QC versions of the Witch and the Warrior. The Witch is further along in the finessing process, but my caster also wanted me to check out the warrior for any potential larger issues.

This isn't all the parts, but you get the general crispy idea. Oh, can't forget about this little guy, RIP.

Glaurio is finished! Stream VOD

Enjoy this final installment of the Cursed City character we've been painting on stream the past couple of times.

**Camera Nerd Warning** Macro Lens Test - BTS #92

I spent a inappropriate amount of money on lenses recently. 

That's over $2,000 USD in macro glass right there. The zeiss lens alone contributed to over half of that, however. Ooo, shiny. I feel like James Bond.

Now that my flexing is over, why did I buy these? Let me first say that the ONLY...

Early release!

It's been 3 years since I've made a video talking about other lovely channels in this hobby, so let's fix that. Now, onto making some sick terrain. Sorry about the delay on that video.

More painting of Glaurio on stream!

Enjoy this stream VOD where we tackle painting this Cursed City character again!

so many updates omg BTS #91

What up, mini family?! It's been two weeks since I did a BTS post so we have a lot of ground to cover! I had my friends over for another hobby session to work on our kill teams and because I am never satisfied with literally any process, I decided to do some experimenting.

I want to paint the sisters of my KT with cream colored robes, so after my basecoat I wanted to apply some shading. On the ...
