NEW VIDEO: must-have tools I'd absolutely buy again

NEW VIDEO: must-have tools I'd absolutely buy again

Hi everyone! As mentioned yesterday, here's the brand new video I asked for help with the title of!

In it, I basically share some of my favourite hobby tools (that aren't just models, paints, brushes, etc) that I would absolutely buy again if I was starting a hobby space from scratch.

Hopefully this will give you some inspiration for...

Help with a video title?

Hi everyone! I'm making a fun video right now that I've wanted to make for a long time, where I quickly run through some of the essential items that I simply couldn't do without in my hobby space.

These are things I've come to rely on after years of use, and take for granted to so much that I'd feel pretty lost if I didn't have them in my ...

Hello you lovely bunch of legends! I've had a really nasty ear infection this week, and honestly I just needed a nice simple video to chill out with... so I reviewed and painted the Xenodragon model I bought at last year's Salute.

I had loads of fun, and I still can't quite believe how good these models are considering they're half the pri...

Hello you amazing bunch! I've got a fantastic video lined up for your Sunday afternoon viewing pleasure. Forget football, rugby, basketball, or whatever else is on.

What do you think Warhammer is doing really WELL at right now?

Hey everyone! Just a quick one for you, could you give me a little help choosing a title for the new video?

In it, I paint up the basic figures for the wrestling minis game Rumble Slam, and talk a bit about wrestling in general.

Just go with your gut instinct, try not to think too hard about it :)

LOVE YOU LOTS!

Here are some of the things that happen in it.
