Titan Battle Report!

Good evening all! Guy here. I know, I know, it's been a while! I've been crazy busy the last few weeks with various boring life things, the kids getting their new PRE-SCHOOL schedule, and a few much needed days off... but WE'RE BACK BABY.

In this video, the Midwinter Minis Warlord Titan gets its first ever Battle Report video, facing off a...

Retro t-shirt SALE!

Hi team! With all the retro vibes in the air after this week's video, we thought we'd run a special promo on our retro logo t-shirts, down from £19 to just £14!

They're super soft and lightweight, perfect for sunny days and chilling out.

... and YES, you can still use your Patreon supporter exclusive discount code on top of that to...

It only took 4 years... Retro painting: BLOOD ANGELS!

Hi everyone! Guy here. Thank you all so, so much for your patience with this one.

Not just because it took me 4 years to finally get around to doing this episode after promising it back in 2020, but also because the video itself took way longer to make than I expected.

There's so, so much to unpack in this video, and so many lovely t...

New video! The Titan... Sucks.

Hello everyone! I hope you've all had a fabulous week and are gearing up for a relaxing weekend.

I've had a bit of a frantic couple of weeks, the twins' childminder is on holiday at the moment so I've only been able to do about half the regular work hours recently, so no time to do big painting project videos... but I've got a few amazing...

BEST. BUNDLE. EVER.

Hey friends! Happy August!

A few people messaged us asking if we could maybe do some kind of bundle of our smaller merch items... and we thought that was a great idea!

So, we've put together a little bundle, containing both sticker sheets, both patches, the new pin, a little MWM sticker, as well as signed photos of the talent (Nessa)...

PINS!

Hello everyone! Just a quick one to let you know that we've now added gorgeous ENAMEL PINS to our merch store at midwinterminis.com

NEW VIDEO: The CHEAP plastic tank GW doesn't want you to know about

Hi everyone! Thank you all so much for your guidance on what video you wanted to see this week.

I built, painted, and reviewed this low cost, hard plastic tank from Archon Studios for this quick video.

It's fast, fun, and has big feel-good vibes.

I hope you're all having a fantastic week, and... I'm off to bed! The twins got me...

Choose a video!

Hi everyone! A quick one for you today. I've had tricky couple of weeks of having to sort out lots of "real life" things, looking after kids that were too ill for childcare, a battle report that took longer to edit than expected... and Hatty is also away on holiday for her birthday!

I had intended to finish the retro painting 2nd edition s...

DEATHMATCH TIME!

Gooood morning everyone! Guy here. Very excited to bring you a brand new episode of the Deathmatch series. No longer the "Start Collecting Deathmatch", everything is now upgraded to 500 point games; my favourite format of 40k.

I hope you love this action packed battle report!

I was shocked to realise that I'd never unpacked the arena...

SKELETO... SORCERER! New HeroQuest video OUT NOW!

Hi everyone! Double post today, sorry for the extra notifications, but I hope you don't mind because it's NEW VIDEO DAY today too!

Get ready for the next episode of the HeroQuest series, and this time I'll show you how to paint the Dread/Chaos Sorcerers in the style of everyone's favourite saucy 80s bonelord.

This is also a bit speci...

Everything you need to know about drybrushing!

Hi everyone! A few weeks ago I asked you all what you'd like to know about drybrushing minis, and also if you wanted to share any top tips you had!

Well, this is the result of that post. I've put as much useful information about drybrushing as I possibly could into a 26 minute video, covering the super basics, all the way through to colou...

A little help with a video title, please?

Hi team! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend and are smashing the sun cream if you're in the UK right now. SCORCHIO!

Anyway, back on topic, we'd love a bit of help with the title of this week's video, please.

It's basically a 25 minute, very chill, mostly very positive, relaxed channel update that covers several things:

Let's talk... HANDS (you choose!)

Okay folks! First of all, thank you so much for the incredible reception to yesterday's video. Even though it's only been up for about 16 hours it's already hit 50k views, making it our most popular in a while, and a good sign for the future of the project! We can't take all the credit, you have helped and guided us along the way, so give yourse...

Titanic Unclean One: EPISODE THREE!

Here we go, everyone! Time for the latest episode of the TUO build, featuring the thumbnail YOU chose! :)

I hope you enjoy it!

As always, let me know any suggestions you have for the project ongoing in the comments here.

Lots of love

Guy

Choose your favourite thumbnail (Hatty's sketches)

Hello everyone! Our new video is almost finished, but now we need to decide on a thumbnail!

This is (obviously) the third proper episode of the Titanic Unclean One build, and this time we're SCULPTING.

Which one of Hatty's sketches makes you instantly want to watch?

We leave the fate of the rest of the YouTube viewership down t...

A little silliness: doing my "best" Hatty voice

Just recorded the voiceover for the new Titanic Unclean One episode. As the bits we do at the start and end tend to be recorded later, in front of the camera, the bits we recorded right now won't be used for them and are just stand-ins.

I did both of our parts... even though Hatty was sitting here doing it with me.

Enjoy!

Lots ...

A little size comparison!

I think we're definitely hitting the brief with "Titan-sized Great Unclean One", what do you reckon?

More height will be added with the horns, but really happy the heads are effectively the same height.

New video very soon!

Lots of love
Guy

WIP sculpting the Titanic Unclean One

Just a quick update! We had a busy day sculpting initial body shape and rough skin detail on the big boy yesterday. Now it's almost dry I thought I'd share some photos with you!

We're using DAS clay just in case you're wondering.

We'll probably swap out to milliput when we get to the heavy detail areas like hands and faces.

Let's get ABOMINABLE

I'm not sure what kind of puns I can make abour Fimir...

It's a FiMIRACLE? That was rubbish, sorry.

Anyway, NEW VIDEO! In the classic MWM speed painting style, I show you how to paint the gross bog monsters from both versions of HeroQuest, while also sharing some really slick, easy ways of painting blue to green transitions, as well ...

HAZARD STRIPES!

Hi friends! As you may have seen in today's quick video https://youtu.be/TdmL8omwRQs I made a sheet of printable hazard stripes for you to chop up and glue to your terrain pieces to add those 90s Necromunda vibes!

I hope you make good use of them :)

Favourite sticker?

Hi friends! We're down to our last "wave 1" sticker sheet, and we have wave 2 on the way!

We thought it would be a fun idea to immortalise people's favourite sticker from each sheet with its very own standalone sticker.

Which was your favourite sticker from the "wave 1" sheet? (attached pic for reference)

DRYBRUSHING! I need your help...

Hi everyone! I've wanted to make a video about drybrushing for a long time. "Everything you need to know about drybrushing minis", something along those lines.

I've obviously already got a pretty solid video plan laid out, but what I'm missing is YOU!

I'd love to hear 2 things from all of you.

First off, what is your personal d...

DICE! What size do you like best?

Hello folks! We've had lots of requests for Midwinter Minis custom dice over the years, and it looks like we might have an opportunity to get some made!

My question to you, our incredible, awesome, supportive, beautiful followers is...

How big do you like 'em?

A question about the new credits

Hi folks! Yesterday's video had a new style of credits. Essentially, there's a panel on the left with the Credits Crew patreon tier members while I do the usual "chatting about channel stuff/thanks/merch/other link" etc.

The reason I've done this is that the last 20 seconds of my videos (traditionally where the credits were) have a massive...

It exploded.

Well, I tried! I REALLY wanted to continue on from last week's Dark Mech video and have a full-sized, 3d printed "Imperial Knight" proxy to show off in this week's video, but alas, things didn't quite go according to plan.

The model exploded. It cracked into bits.

I'm no quitter though, so I transformed the broken parts into a battle...

Some title help suggestions? (poll)

Hi friends! I've got a cool new video for you today, but I've been changing my mind about a hundred times over what I should call it.

Context: I try to 3d print something BIG, and it doesn't go well. It actually explodes. I think I've figured out what the problem is, and made a cool terrain piece out of the failure.

So, with that in ...
