  2. New digitally created minis are fantastic, and I'm glad we get to enjoy them. But, in my mind, hand sculpted minis (especially metal ones) are superior. One feels like a cool little collector toy, the other like a small treasure.

  4. TiL about that phobia… don't think I have that. But yea unnerving models for sure, probably because most of use our hands for x & y all day. More so after having just finished eating lol…. thank god for a "cleanser video" I have que'd heh (honestly just another new video someone else that lined up well). Seems like it'd be perfect terrain to add during a battle report when a chaos force is in play.

  19. Not what I would have done.
    I would have gone with a pallet that I'd describe as "What did you do to yourself" yellow/olive, "How did you get that" purple/blue and "Been in the sun to long" red. Also quite a bit of texture paints to get some dry cracking in just the right places.

  26. I've had a homebrew D&D concept I like to call the "Meat Mold", a dungeon organism (that is, an organism that IS a dungeon) with properties of both fungus and flesh. Forming under the earth, protecting its soft tissues from the harsh rays of the sun. Save for the occasional growth that erupts from the ground, creating grotesque monuments to its dubious glory.

    I can absolutely see these ringing the fleshy entrance to the meat dungeon. The meat mold idiotically casting up literal feelers, fractal mockeries of the human form. All the while, the PCs are accosted by the hideous monstrosities spawned from the dungeon's gut to defend it and claim their delicious biomass.

  27. Just wanna take my time (and the time of anyone reading this) to tell a little bit of a story – and TLDR: thank this channel. I got into mini painting a few weeks ago after struggling with doubts about it for quite some time. I owned the Dark Souls Board game (that has unpainted miniatures) for years. I never got around to paint those, but I always kind of wanted to get them painted. Since I was always terrible at painting with brushes – I don't think I ever got a water color painting in kindergarten or my whole school time that wasn't a washed up, discolored mess – AND i suffer from ADHD, I never even started painting as a hobby until a few weeks ago where I suddenly got this rush of motivation and inspiration totally out of nowhere. So, I looked up a whole bunch of guides, videos, advice websites and tutorials about the topic, thinking "yeah why not?" – Midwinter's video about "Painting your first Warhammer miniature" was among those and really helped me overcome the deep-rooted feeling within myself that a) I was trash at the arts subject in school, so I must automatically be trash at painting whatsoever and b) that I as someone with diagnosed ADHD and strong signs of a possible autism spectrum disorder, would be unable to paint something as fine as a tabletop miniature.

    So, yeah, there I was, after having ordered a starter paint and brush set, some additional paints I liked, some spray primer and a weird DND dragonborn mini I got from ebay for <1$ to practice my skills on, sitting at my desk, having my tools and paints in front of me and one of my computer screens running the MM video I mentioned earlier, and I was reeeeeeeaaally on edge there. I just want to say that, in an almost spiritual, self-focus, meditation and self-improvement kind of way, it was that exact video that got me through painting my first mini, even if that wasn't even a Warhammer one.

    I'll be honest, out of all the seven minis I have painted until now (2 DND Dragonborn warriors, 3 Hollow Soldiers and 2 Crossbow Hollows from the Dark Souls Board Game), not a single one has a face that any objective spectator would even come close to calling "decent", and my details still suck astronomically. I constantly paint over edges, get drybrushing so wrong it leaves minis with weird sparkles all over them and I never even attempted to paint the fine edges around metal plates or highlight with layers of paint. My hands are, due to my diagnosis, very shaky, making it very tough for me to concentrate fully on getting the accents right or getting contrasts right. I can basically paint one small mini in a session at max, meaning that after about one to one and a half hours of painting, I absolutely need to take a break because my hands go from "not the calmest" to "shaking almost uncontrollably" while I find it increasingly harder to concentrate on the task at hand. I sometimes even catch myself wishing I could be done with the primed but not painted minis who are still waiting in line faster, but watching videos from several creators about beginner painting tips has helped me a lot – especially this channel here.

    That being said, I am not unhappy with my painting – not at all. Despite the flaws and messed up spots and unclean textures I get on my minis, I couldn't be happier with the smallest stuff I accomplished, even if it is just me getting a rugged leather vest with chainmail shining through holes in said vest done in the abysmally long time of about two and a half days, or a set of clean, red eyes on a dragon-human-hybrid thing I got just right. It really made me appreciate the little things and rethink a lot of stuff I never even got around to think about before. The most important thing except the realization that "Hey, what I did isn't complete and utter garbage!" is watching in real time how much I see myself improve with the slightest things – with every of my seven miniatures up until now, I can think of at least one thing that I improved from the last one, or at least one thing I think I have learned since the last mini. For that, I just wanted to thank the wonderful community – be it youtubers, reddit threads, video guides, tutorial blogs, images or whatever advice I got elsewhere on the internet.

    I think I escalated a little on the emotional part here 🙂 I didn't even intend to go to such lengths about this stuff, and I doubt any reader will even make it to this point, but I just got super emotionally into this and am happy that channels and content creators like MM exist to help people get into the hobby.
    Aight, imma head out now. Have a nice day/night/weekend/whatever time it is where you are.
