Thank you I am glad you found the video helpful. Good luck with your model.

😂

Thanks I'm glad you liked the video

Hello from the UK to you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video thanks for your kind comment

Thank you, I really appreciate it. I totally forgot to do a proper side by side in the final edit and really wish I had. Usually I'm pretty checked out by the time a video gets released as I've been listening to my own voice for too long. As for improving your skills, the way I did it was to focus on single minis and try to create a specific look. Cheap second hand models, job lot purchases of bits and some of the cheaper kits like grots can make great practice pieces for a little trial and error. Once I find something I like I then try and optimise it into as few steps as possible so it can be batch painted with minimal effort. Plenty of creators do tutorials or guides on their work so it's easier than ever to find solutions if you get stuck creating a specific look or effect. Most of the fun for me is figuring out how something was done, it's like a puzzle to solve.

Spring 2025 no official date given yet.

Brush soap is great for reforming brushes. You work the brush in, shape it, leave it for a bit then rinse. I use one "The master's brush cleaner" which is available on Amazon. Sometimes I use airbrush cleaner and a paper towel if it's quite bad. If a brush is too far gone for that I dip it in my Tamiya extra thin but that sometimes trashes it completely, depending on the brush. If it survives it's good as new.

Thanks I'm glad you found it useful, it definitely helps to have more colours to save effort on mixing and priming is absolutely the way to go.

Thanks I'm glad you like it, it means a lot to me

That's pretty cool, yeah generally if kept simple it scales in line with each ship's additional movement, actions and combat. I find that game length varies depending on the complexity of the special rules and abilities in play. Some builds and match ups can drag on, especially if you are unlucky with dice rolls or keep colliding with each other's ships.

Thanks for your comment, I really appreciate it

Thanks for clarifying, I wasn't entirely sure. I got into X Wing during the first release and just played it with my family and friends. The announcement will never change that or the love we have for it.

Good games never die and I'm not giving up on it now either.

The game is now in the best hands possible, the community that loves it.

Aye. Sad day. AMG really dropped the ball on what was my fav game. I’m hoping the community keeps second edition alive.

Will there be some other game in development instead or another company pick it up or is there just no hope

@@theclash24 At the moment there is no hope officially but there has been talk within the community of keeping it going unofficially.

@@JimsTableTopWargaming I wanted a few standard 2.0 stuff for me and my son to just play

@@theclash24 I'm sorry to hear that, hopefully you can find some stock. AMG did say to me in an email "Reprints for existing products could continue as long as there is demand." Take that with a pinch of salt though. It is extremely disappointing, I put a lot of time and money into the game so I could play it with my friends.

Huh?

I am not an authority on the subject of x wing so I cannot answer these questions or concerns. If I were you I would reach out to AMG for further information. The link for the Warp is in the description and last I checked they don't ship internationally.

@bobafett2243 I reached out to Atomic Mass Games with your concerns. If I hear anything substantial back from them I'll put it in a video.

@@JimsTableTopWargaming Awesome, thanks. I did the same few days ago. I will let you know what I hear. So far the response is, my inquiry was placed on hold while they investigate. We’ll see.

@@bobafett2243 Unfortunately I did get a response and it was just "if we had any info we would post it on our socials" so no answers to your questions.

It's those fine details that make it interesting

You can paint without a primer but it's not usually recommended as primers will help the paint stick better and you don't have to fight the paint as much during that first coat. If you want to ensure your work is not ruined when touching or moving it, I would recommend sealing it with a varnish. Either a spray can like Citadel Munitorum or one of the many pots of varnish that can be applied by brush like Vallejo. Keep in mind the difference between Matt, satin and gloss varnish.

Most people I know started off without priming or varnishing their models, it's just best practice to do so if you feel comfortable with it as it makes life easier and helps to achieve and then maintain a great finish. Everyone has a different ability level when it comes to the hobby so just focus on what you feel you need to and expand and experiment when you are ready.

@@JimsTableTopWargaming thank you very much for clarifying my doubt 😁

Thanks, have a happy birthday! Glad you liked the video

Thanks, Rick, glad you like the video. You are right, it does not have the action keyword.

No worries, thanks for having me on your stream

I'm glad you enjoyed the video, yes I have plans to cover the various ways to play in the future starting with the current tournament rules. Keep an eye out for that sometime in the near future.

Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it

Thanks I'm glad you liked the video and I hope your models turn out great

to be fair the warhammer tutorial is to just get started someone who is starting out might get a bit overwhelmed by this video

Thank you, I am glad you liked the video

I pinned this because it's correct and good reading, thanks for bringing up a great point. I took a look at the full rules prior to this video and made the decision to stick to the booklet as a way to reduce time-to-play for newcomers. I have run a few different game systems for people in the past and found that overwhelming people in their first game is usually detrimental, so I kept it fairly simple. That said, if you pick up the game and want to expand your collection to play with others in the community then the official and up to date rules are essential reading. There are many ways to play X Wing which I will eventually cover in future videos and how you play will be a matter of preference. Currently I am familiarising myself with the rules for core and epic games so I can do some bigger games with my friends in the Clone Wars setting. These game tutorials take longer to produce than my usual painting tutorials due to the amount of editing that goes into them, but I aim to get more of them out in due course.

I personally don't like objectives. I came to fight. So fight I will. UwU

"Officially" yes it's 2.5. Though it's disingenuous for AMG to try to call it second edition at all. So much was changed and is still morphing that at least as the most honest it should be called either third edition, or "the AMG edition". And it's a dead/dying game anyway so I don't know if a video like this will be anything but a well presented historical demo anyway within a year or so. Barring some massive relaunch/boot lol

Welcome, thanks for the sub I am glad you liked the video! There are several ways: You can try and match it by eye like I did, the paints dry a little darker and you use the dry paint on your pallet as a way to eyeball it. Not the best way. You could mix a decent amount into a spare airtight container or pot or something if you have one. That way you have enough for all five. You could make a basic wet pallet out of a container, a sponge and some baking paper. This slows down the drying of your mixed paint, giving you plenty of time to hydrate the paint with a little water off the brush. You could just buy Calgar Blue and Fenrisian Grey paints as this is what I was aiming for anyway and then you have consistent paints for further models. Hope this helps, let me know if you have further questions.

I originally purchased them from a small model shop called KB models, which has unfortunately shut down. But with some digging I found they are from expo tools: www.expotools.com/acatalog/75550-5-Inch-Easy-Grip-Pliers--Side-Cutters-75550.html

@@JimsTableTopWargaming thanks, much appreciated!

In fairness they probably would be pretty filthy towards the end of a long campaign

You can reduce some of that effect by dry brushing your midtone armor color back onto the large flat panels, it will restore much of the vibrancy taken away by the wash and the dry brush method will leave the dark recesses untouched

Yes, however it does require the purchase of a conversion kit to bring the cards and tokens up to the new standard

Thank you

My pinky finger is usually touching the model I am painting steadying the brush hand. I try to limit unnecessary movements in my arms by leaning on my desk as well. It gets achy after a while so make sure to take regular breaks.

Very nice, Blood Angels have some really awesome lore and models, especially around the Death Company.

It's good advice

Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed the video

Thank you, I was overly reliant on my detail brush before I started this series and it's a real eye opener seeing them side by side now. Really happy with the progress.

I'll take a look at it and see what I can come up with, thanks for the suggestion.

@@ThatAngryPunk this would a great idea.

Yeah by far the hardest part of this start painting series has been coping without all my usual brushes. I don't mind the starter brush but I think that's Stockholm syndrome at this point.

No worries, I hope you enjoy

Thank you, glad to be back. I will be addressing the hiatus in a future video
