Livestream VOD!
This time I'm flying solo. I think one more stream and these Blood Knights will be done. Unless of course...I try to do a fancy freehand on that banner!

Jon and I get together to do some more hobbying. This was the livestream not from the previous Friday, but the one before that! You may notice it's 6hrs long, but that's because I forgot to turn off my stream (woops). I thought I could trim it when I uploaded it to youtube, but apparently it's too long for that? Instead of faffing around with it further, I thought I'd just give you the link!

Enjoy this duostream with Jon and Dan last Friday. I worked on some vampires (two characters), and Jon worked on assembling some Death Guard.

It may not look like the timeline is much longer, but this video doesn't have any of the squarespace ad in it, so there are some more goofs and jokes. Enjoy!

Jon and I did something similar with 40k and had a blast. We thought we should try it again with AoS and make it even harder! Enjoy!

How's that for a thumbnail??
2020-12-24 01:10:41 +0000 UTC View PostTime for the classic end of year video that no one asked for where I talk some stats, answer some questions, and read some meanie comments. If you have any questions about the channel or myself, let me know!

This was a fun duostream with jon and myself and a new voice on the mic, Dan the man!

Sorry if I'm blowing up your inbox! Here's the early release video I mentioned in the most recent BTS (#84) post.
2020-12-17 16:06:21 +0000 UTC View PostWhat up, mini family?! I hope you all have found some time to hobby in this impending holiday season. This past week I had some friends over and we had two goals. We wanted to play Warhammer Underworlds: Beastgrave. They were both excited to learn a miniature war game and dip their toes into the process of the hobby. The warbands we picked were Molog's Mob, Mogweath's Blade Coven, and Skaeth's Wild Hunt. I'll let you guess which one I picked up!

Guest featuring Amber on the mic! You know how it is, just more vampire painting. This time, flesh tones!
2020-12-17 15:16:49 +0000 UTC View PostWhat up mini family?! Long time, no see. Since the last BTS post, people here in the US celebrated Thanksgiving, so I've been slowly easing in and out of that, but I'm happy to say that I'm back on my feet at feel productivity. Recently, I've been involved in a few live events.
Last Friday, I was part of the NOCF fall charity raffle where we announced the winners of all the armies the miniac viewers painted, we talked about the charities, we talked about all the armies, and everything. ...

Heyo! Here's a video that's actually an early release. This video will come out on black friday, so the deals I talk about at the end are not yet live. Enjoy the bases!

2020-11-23 16:27:25 +0000 UTC View PostHey mini family! I've been working on a few things lately, kind of all over the place. Earlier in the week, I started to paint this guy.

The idea here is to forgo the usage of color and paint something monochromatically. This model is an exercise in finish and texture. Often times as miniature painters we paint something like wood brown and that's good enough without also considering the textur...

At some point this model will be in a video, but enjoy the livestream VOD of the process for now!

I was painting this bust:


Enjoy this early release video of me exploring a new blending method!

This isn't going to much of an early release because this video took a lot longer than expected to make, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless. I threw everything I could think of into this video and while it isn't perfect, I'm pretty chuffed with the outcome.
2020-10-27 15:14:32 +0000 UTC View PostWhat up, mini painting family?! Lots went on this week, so let's dive in! A while back I showed off a 3D sculpt of a model called "Fayde", a character from a video game I played for over a decade. Recently, Level 52 started to print the 3D model figuring out some of the problems and getting a nice crispy cast. To jog your memory, here's the 3D sculpt:

And here are some initial 3D prints:

I think I mentioned last week about operation "convert your normal friends into miniature war gamers". That operation has progressed further! Part of the hobby is creating lists for your various armies/teams. This part can be a little bit daunting at first so I took it upon myself to make lists for my friends. I figured while I accomplished that, I could also flex some of my Adobe inDesign skills to create a really nice double sided reference guide to be use...
