Choose a video topic!

Hey team! I've got so many fun video ideas I'd like to work on; give me some guidance! What do you think I should work on first? Feel free to choose as many as you want.

FYI, there's already a Titan unboxing on the way, so that's why it's not on the list :)

All 123 of your questions ANSWERED!

Hey team! Guy here. I was blown away by the quality and QUANTITY of the questions you asked, I couldn't possibly leave them unanswered in the last video.

I hope you all enjoy this hour-long special Q&A :)

Ask me something!

This week's video will be something a little bit different. The process takes about 20 minutes, I don't need to describe everything as I go. I'll probably have 10 minutes or so in the video where I can talk, and I thought it would be a cool opportunity to answer some questions from you, our lovely patrons.

I can't promise I'll be able to a...

In this video, I show you how to use cabochons and some easy Milliput sculpting to customise Nurgle Plaguebearers! I hope you like it, I had lots of fun experimenting :)

TITAN TIME (part 3) let's choose a gun!

You overwhelmingly voted for the claw/ranged weapon combo, so now we get to choose WHICH ranged weapon we want to go for.

All 4 of these weapons are cataclysmically devastating, and unless you're facing off against another titan, you're just choosing which one of the enemy models you'd like to remove from the table.

TITAN ARMS. Let's choose!

Time for round 2! What arms should we equip the Midwinter Minis Warlord Titan with?

In this poll, we'll just choose the type of weapon. If one of the options with "ranged weapon" comes out on top, we'll decide which ones in a future vote.

There will be 4 ranged weapons to choose from, each stupidly powerful. Although Warlord Titans c...

TITAN TIME! Let's vote (part 1)

Hey team! Over the weekend, we passed 1,000 supporters here on Patreon! That blows my mind. As promised, we're going to get the ball moving on the Warlord Titan project.

Because I want you all to feel like this is OURS, not just mine, I'd like you to decide everything about it!

First up, let's choose the shoulder-mounted weaponry.&nb...

Trying my best to paint a Farseer

Trying my best to paint a Farseer

After asking you all what I should do with my Farseer to complete the Craftworlds Start Collecting force, you wanted me to take my time, and treat it like a competition model!

I did exactly that, and actually went one step further, asking Trovarion - one of the most highly awarded miniature painters of all time - to judge it!

I hope ...

What should I do with the Farseer?

My Craftworld models will soon face the Chaos Space Marines in the Start Collecting DEATHMATCH series, but I still have to paint the Farseer from the Craftworld box. I'd quite like to make a video about it, as it's a lovely model. What would be the most interesting thing to do with it?

Help me choose a title!

Tomorrow's video will be a bit of a quirky one. I take a look at a 1997 Citadel Miniature price list and compare like-for-like prices, taking 23 years of inflation into account. It's not a clear cut story!

What title would you be tempted to click on most?

What ONE piece of advice would you give a new hobbyist?

I'm planning on making a definitive "how to hobby" video, focusing mostly on building, painting, and having fun.

I've already filmed some footage with 2 younger relatives, capturing their "first mini experience" on camera, so I have a pretty good idea of what to say in the video itself, but I was wondering if YOU might have some advice you...

Long story short: I'm going to challenge Henry Cavill to be a Warhammer 40k battle report with me.

Slightly longer story: we're from the same island (70k population when we were born), we're pretty much the same age, we went to neighbouring schools. I would donate all ad revenue from that episode to a charity of his choice.

So, I'm in the final stages of painting up the 2 original miniatures found in the 1994 Citadel Paint Set. The Ultramarine is almost done, but I don't have any period-accurate transfers. I have the standard Tactical Squad transfers, though. What do you think I should do?

Choose a #wigglybois slogan

Hey team! We're looking into getting some clothing designs made. The first one will be inspired by everyone's favourite BSF baddies: the #wigglybois.

We'd like to have a fun, slightly naughty catchphrase to accompany the design. Which of these do you think is best?

Feel free to suggest your own in the comments, too!
