Thanks for the kind words, I was kind of dreading publishing this video as its out of my comfort zone. I know what you mean about feeling unsatisfied with a paint job. I think all painters can relate. Like you said I also get it when I have rushed the project and not stopped to enjoy the process. Its that doubled edged sword of getting it done, and enjoying getting it done. The balance can be hard to achieve and I think we all chase the balance. If I could offer any advice it would be take your time with a couple of minis you like the look of. They dont have to be special or expensive minis, just ones you like the pose of or something. Enjoy the process again for a couple of mins. While getting it done with the others. Merry Christmas and hope all is well.

Thanks for the comment. There are so many kits out there at the moment. You have to chose which ones are for you, thats one of the main reasons for my videos.

Thankyou thats very kind of you to say. My painting is very much like me, SIMPLE!

Thanks mate very much appreciated. Yeah I get what your saying, people do place an awful lot of pressure on themselves when painting miniatures. Especially newer painters. You and I come at it from a different direction in a lot of respects. I paint purely for the enjoyment of painting, the end result has to be good enough. It probably comes from most of my players don't paint, and that I have been painting on and off for 35+ years. You do commission work where the standard is way higher and that feeling of painting for someone else! To be honest I couldn't do that, I would second guess the simplest decision.

Yeah they hit the right level of detail and not flooding the figure with too much. Dallas? not sure what you mean, thats Austin!

@welshminiatureboardgamer356 haha it just reminded me of a man named after a state from a film 😉

@@TheCraftyMini Hmm how strange

Thanks mate, they are a joy to paint.

Thanks for the comment. They are lovely miniatures, as are most of papsikels stuff. The scale really doesn't bother me all that much within reason. I can see why it might be a concern for others though, especially in vs games.

Wow that sounds very cool and fitting. If you do it I would love to see the results. Good luck.

@welshminiatureboardgamer356 Thanks, I'll certainly see what I'm able to do I'd also be down to do some Historical themed Chaos kitbashes, any suggestions?

@@ChaseDaOrk3767 Cthulhu like cowboys using the plastic cowboys from Dead mans hand? I often think about some twisted mutated orcs would be cool!

@@welshminiatureboardgamer356 Those ideas sound pretty dope, I can imagine some mutated Orcs would be like the equivalent of an Uruk-hai becoming mutated by the energies of the Warp from Warhammer

@@ChaseDaOrk3767 Yeah thats kind of the feeling I was getting

No problem, thanks for watching.

Thanks for the comment. That was an absolute bargain you got yourself. I really didnt like the reapers, more because of the spindly nature than anything. The butchers on the other hand I quite enjoyed. Very cool dead space idea.

Let just ask my buddy Jareth! Thanks for the comment.

As I said above, I love mantic the company and their games. Their models sometimes let them down. These however look amazing, although very fiddly with the reapers.

Thanks for the kind comment, as always. I love Mantic the company and games, but sometimes their models let them done. This kit was fun. Yeah when I release the painting vid its not going to be great. Learning camera angles, set up, and lighting is not my skill set. Your painting tutorials will not be threatened lol!

Glad you doi​ing it you've got a really good eye for colour and like the style! If you need any help let me know not a problem 😊

@@TheCraftyMini Thanks for that. Yeah I have done the filming for the first video, so will have to see what it looks like in editing. I have a sneaky feeling I may be out of focus most of the time. Swapping between my reading glasses and magnifying glasses was a juggling act lol! Will definitely be asking questions after as my technical knowledge of this stuff is about 2 decades out of date! Dont want people to watch it and think I am telling them this is how to paint. Its a "this is how I personally painted it", because I know I paint very old school in alot of respects.

We will see what we can do.

Lol not sure what is false advertising. Although it is very early in the morning, and I havent had any tea yet!

Thankyou for the kind comment. Yeah I enjoyed both constructing and painting this kit. I haven't got any use for mounted miniatures, so I don't generally buy them. They do look like they would be fun to paint though.

Yeah you could be right. Its been quite sometime since I opened the dwarf box and scavenged the bits.

Thanks for the comment. Yeah they looked like they would work well with GW range of goblins. Your the second person to recommend the orcs from shieldwolf, may have to give them a look.

Frostgrave kits always work well together, its one of the joys of sticking to frostgrave kits!

Them all having little capes was an interesting choice. Personally I would have preferred less Robin hood men in tights, but still I liked them when mixed in with other ranges. Thanks for the comment.

@ I might kitbash them with the elf light infantry to make elf militia. I do love the square shields

@@Maxsminiatures Not a pointy ears collector myself, unless they have green skin!

Thanks for the comment. The barbarians are a very detailed kit for the frostgrave boxes. I personally liked them but like everything its hard to get a style that everyone likes. The heads are very nordic and it would have been nice to have an african style head amongst them.

Yeah I can see how you might feel that way about the heads. When I first looked at it I thought that was a somewhat odd choice. I still like them and feel they were a nice purchase. I have since looked at their other offerings. The savage orcs were the ones that jumped out at me. The are monstrous looking which I really liked. Many thanks for the comment and information on the orc boyz!

@@welshminiatureboardgamer356 Let's put this way if you like the goblins you will love the orcs 😁

@@ZacSheehy Ok sold to the stranger at the back of the room! lol

No problem, glad you enjoyed. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the comment and glad you liked the video.

Thank you very much

@ that grey skin looks amazing

Yes

Yeah for all the above reasons I liked them. They went together very easy, frostgrave like. They were very smartly placed on the sprue and the sculpts were very clean. For a small company they show a lot of experience in their designs and tooling.

@@welshminiatureboardgamer356 I think the sprues were done for them by Renedra or another company in Britain.

@@calvanoni5443 Ah that would explain an awful lot.

Yeah they are fun little goblins. Surfboard flying goblins, thats my kind of warped! I bought my kit from Northstar figures, if thats any help. Thanks for the comment.

Ah never really even look at kickstarter stuff, that would explain why I had never heard of them. Thanks for the comment.

Thankyou kindly

Thankyou very much.

Thankyou very much for the kind words. The miniatures are clean and easy to paint.

Thanks alot, yeah I have to agree they are lovely miniatures.

Thanks as always for the support. Yeah a matching colour scheme ties them in, a his and hers set from Peacocks! Yeah I like Frostgrave but dont get it on the table often now.

Thanks

Thanks for educating me on a Falx, I had no idea. Now I have a name I will google it.

Thanks alot for the kind words.

Thanks for the recommendation and comment.

Thankyou for the kind comment.

Thanks for that, much appreciated.

Thanks for the kind comment. Yeah as I said in the video, the only thing slightly out is the rabble arms. They are alittle ape like in length.

That would be very cool, and there are certain game players who would be very grateful for them

Thanks for the comment. What do you mean by more detail about my painting? Do you mean talk through how I painted it, or a painting tutorial video? I have thought about showing how I paint miniatures to my good enough standard. My only problem is I don't feel I paint good enough to teach others. I use alot of techniques that are out dated and aren't the way people like to paint these days. You arent the first person to mention it though, so I will need to give it more serious thought.

@welshminiatureboardgamer356 both I suppose whichever us more comfortable, the paint jobs are good tbf, and more importantly consistent

@@gordomango9337 Thanks for the feedback it really does help me understand how people feel and what they want. I will give it some more serious thought.

Yeah the kits work very well. Like I said in the video , my only slight problem is with the length of the fireforge minis arms. Thanks for the comment.

Thankyou very much for the kind comment. I do love the character minis from northstar.

Ok first of all thanks for the comment. I am glad you like my simple colour palette and style. Second of all I love Angus McBrride and especially the merp covers. I am a huge rolemaster fan and merp, they are definitely my system of choice. In this day and age of rpg is dungeons and dragons its good to see someone who even knows Merp. Ok will try the Vallejo brush on next. I will report back when I have used it. Thanks for the recommendation.

Thanks for showcasing a variety of expertly painted minis on your channel! Have to share more good vibes for ICE's Merp and second using Vallejo's polyurethane varnishes.

@@doctorz-luv9038 Thanks so much for the kind comment. I would say I am an experienced amateur painter at best lol! I have played merp and rolemaster for over 40 years now so very firmly hooked! Nightblades rule!

Thankyou as always. I am glad you enjoyed the video.

Thanks actually took a look at some larp players online and the colour scheme was based on that. Have started listening to your podcast, a good paint along companion.

@@welshminiatureboardgamer356 btyanks bud, we having a bit of fun while I'm getting some big stuff ready for upcoming videos, AHH the days of Larp, used to partake years ago

@@TheCraftyMini Look forward to the upcoming project. I have never larped, done alot of rpg's but never got as far as larp.

Thanks for the kind comment.

Thankyou for the kind comment

Thanks for the kind thumb!
