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
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.
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...
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.
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.
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!!!
Always with enamels. But honestly just all the time when you don't have proper ventilation for airbrushing. I was using inks on my ultramarines and I realized for like a week I was pickin blue boogers out of my sniffer. Never again.
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.
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
Dam you Merfield miniatures for being where you are. I need to visit this shop when I can buy things again. Nice video dude, oh and I want to see the Ork vs Praetorian Zulu match up
Great video, my brother! Love the way that these orks came out! I wish I had a shop like this in my area! Keep up the great work, my man!!! ~ Wolfbrother Methos
one of your best videos so far. really engages in the passion of the process. I am not an army painter by a long shot but loved this. Thanks for sharing your journey.
This is just amazing, what a fantastic place to get Warhammer!. I doubt it but I would love to look around my area to see if there is a secondhand shop here for Warhammer, great video mate looked like a bunch of fun.
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.
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...
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.
Now you got me wishing I had a shop around me like that. I'm so far out in the sticks that there is no such thing as a tabletop gaming shop within 80 miles. Awesome video, and love seeing you guys going out and supporting your local stores.
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 :) )
*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.
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.
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. One of of my favourite minis is a model I kitbashed from second hand parts. It's like your making the model carry on its service for a second tour so to speak
'Ere 'ow are dem Shootaz 'posed ta shoot?! You need ta drill dem barrelz, mate! 🤭 This shop looks epic. It is a shame that the owner doesn't do mail order for those of us who live some miles away; but I can see that would be a whole other headache, and would detract from the community nature of the shop. Fingers crossed that, one day, a franchise will open near me 😍👍
great video, great theme (with how things are going to get we all need to tighten the belt), and great shout out for a local game store (They will need our help considering how GW has been behaving) Have a great day all and remember that it is YOUR hobby and you can do with it as you please.
Excellent Video! I do love the idea making those type of wargames more accessible to kids/people with less money! That's the best ingredient for a healthy community !
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.
Well, if they leave you with nothing but scraps, take those scraps and glue them all onto a Roomba. Set Roomba on the tabletop, turn 'im on, and dominate the field.
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.
just imagine the sudden influx of people going in to scalp the entire store of its value now, its awesome, but you should asked yourself first "is it secret, is it safe"
Totally wish I had a place like this locally! I don't get why more stores don't do this, especially with the random bits bags as well - they are invaluable for anyone getting into minis where there are no sprues or extra parts.
@@GeekGamingScenics It's a huge shame that they don't allow that. It would be a great move for any stores that don't stock GW to get into though - but they are very few and far between these days.
We Build Entire Warhammer Armies For £50.. Ted(Me) : How?... and do they come in mega gargant , fyreslayers, beastmen, DWARVES OVERRALL! and do u take a boat to deliver them to me in Sweden
So yeah after these videos Mirfield miniatures has been swept off their feet apparently - I've been myself a few times now and spent a small fortune - he had a load of boxed, on-sprue Imperial Knights for £60 each last time I was in and it was incredibly hard not to buy one haha. So far I've bought a Dreadnought, Attack Bike, Drop Pod, Vindicator tank, 6 Terminators, 4 Grey Knights, a Techmarine, Astaroth, Lemartes, some other chaplain.. yeah quite a bit.
I've been waiting to plan a trip to the UK to visit shops... Was thinking Warhammer World was the place... But I feel like we were just been privy to a new Mecca!!
If that store was in my city rather than the width of a continent and an ocean away, I totally would go. I might have picked warhammer instead of One Page Rules too, since it was warhammer prices that put me off in the first place.
Honestly thought to myself when u showed that undead army... If he doesn't buy that I might get in touch and make a trip over! 😂 So much amazing stuff... But I prefer Pickle's ghosts.... Although haven't watched benjis video yet 😳👀
Damn thanks for sharing never knew of this shop I’ve stopped buying from GW would rather supportable independent shop by the looks of it it’s only about an hour away from me as well
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
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.
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.
Good art is never finished, it's abandoned
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.
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.
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...
1:10 That's awesome, i've always wanted to learn how to airbrush children!
That shop seems like a place of dreams. Affordability, huge range of minis to choose from & just good vibes 🤩 Nice video 🤙🏼
I feel that the hobby shop you went is the business model I've been waiting to see for a long time! Way to make the hobby live!
You had me at "me and the boyz" That shop was awesome dude!! Great work finishin off those orks propper.

You should 100% be wearing a ventilator when airbrushing enamels.
are at least a face mask of any type, post covid we all have at least one, there's no excuse.
Always with enamels. But honestly just all the time when you don't have proper ventilation for airbrushing. I was using inks on my ultramarines and I realized for like a week I was pickin blue boogers out of my sniffer. Never again.
Yes, don’t do this at home kids. He’s a trained professional.
Mind your own business. You are the type of worry merchants who say you can't cut towards yourself.
@@silver4831 Well, you can... until you can't any more.
I've learned this hobby shop is only 20 minutes away and I'm now unbelievably excited.
I've learned its 3 1/2 hours drive and I'm gutted 😫

Great place and Mark is a genuine, fair and supportive guy. Totally there for the community!
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.
Great video👍nice to see Mirfield Miniatures getting some well deserved attention
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.
What an amazing store, and a wonderful project! Looking forward to seeing the other collab vids.
How cool is this video and what a great shop you have in the UK! This was fun to watch and thanks for the awesome content!
