    My gaming club puts the money together for these box sets as they comes out, then together we build and paint them. At some point I really should consider getting some people other than just me in the club, but that's just how it works some time.

    Heck yeah this is why some stores host group building/painting events, helpful with motivation and pacing and lets you ask for ideas and opinions as you go. Not surprised your Day 4 was less fun, when the rush of building & base coating gives way to more detailed work. That was a good idea taping the old paint to a big saw as a supercharged shaker.

(It helps bribing them w/ snacks & ingame bonuses f.x. inspiration dice.) When they can't make it for crafting, I fire up you guys or MWM, etc and its almost the same. Cheers from the D&D side of the table.

  • @papabear6837
    @papabear6837 3 года назад +2

    My imperial guard army is huge but I only have the tanks painted and that's because I painted with a friend. He wanted an army of tanks, my army included tanks and we ended up in sort of a arms race trying to outdo each other. I got 2 Chimeras, 2 leman russ and a baneblade painted up pretty quick plus a couple of sentinels. But I have other hobbies and a lower paid job. He didn't have a baneblade but crushed me with hellhounds and leman russ. Eventually, like the soviet Union, I conceded as I had no money left. I also couldn't keep up with too little time. I really need to get my infantry done but it's a huge task and I need extra motivation, like a second arms race lol

    • @craigjones7343
      @craigjones7343 2 года назад

      I usually decide a head of time how far I am willing to take a model. For example my troops get a base coat and wash, rarely any highlights. If I don’t do this I will spend months on a single unit and never get anything done. My character/hero units get the full treatment.

    Hey Jay, for painting the white runes in the banners etc, I usually thin down a bit of white layer paint with a lot of medium, then use a very small brush to soak some of it up. If you thin it down enough, it will run off the brush into the rune pretty much by itself and pool there, leave it to dry and it will be done. Will also only spill a very little bit and thus be easy to clean up.

    Wow, you didn't even stop at Taco Bell! This is one of my favorite EOB videos. I got to figure out how to do something similar!
