I just feel this so much. I'm 31 years old but between work and being a husband and father, I just need to preserve my inner kid, but with adult money of course 😅
I turned 38 this year and decided to finally embrace this hobby. I just felt that I needed something more to do at home that wasn't just chores, parenting, and then dreading the next day of work. Video games used to be my escape but there's too many Activision-like news and anti-consumer practices that keep occurring for me to really care anymore. GW isn't any better, but assembling & painting YOUR army set feels more fulfilling than fighting scalpers for that expensive Collector's Edition or overpriced Amiibo any freaking day. I mean, you only live once. So find a hobby that makes you happy regardless if it's professional or for just pure mental enjoyment.
@@84jesterx couldn't have said it better 😊
I am 49 (pushing 50) and have been playing since I was 18 (Rogue Trader). Despite giving up for a while in the 2000s (I got back into 40k around 6th edition) my pile of shame tends to eclipse the sun when I transfer it to our den so I can set up my gaming table. Nonetheless I have painted masses over the lockdown period (finally it feels as if the end of my metal minis collection might be in sight?). So I agree that we need to preserve our inner kids with adult money!
@@84jesterx I just turned 38 on Saturday and bought my first starter set on Sunday. Did it for the exact same reasons
I think it's absolutely important for a human being to "play". Everyone picks his own ways of doing it but psychologically I think it needs to be done to preserve the freedom to imagine and create. I'm in quarantine with two small kids right now. I've started building a ship model made of wood, I bought a bluebrixx kit, a wooden big ben puzzle and some Lego toys for my daughter (the younger sibling just wants to eat everything). Building sth really or playing boardgames with my gf really relaxes me and helps me get through this hard time not being allowed to leave my home. And everyone with kids knows how much simple playing can be and how creative small children are when it comes to free playing. Sometimes it's hard to keep up with the childrens imagination and being able to allow every "game rule" there is to be bent. But I'll try my best. It's just about having fun next to all the crazy and stressing things we adults are forced to do.
I also found painting my thunderhawk bases difficult. I ended up putting a little bit of parchment/newspaper into the turning parts to protect them from paint and then paint around it. They look better with matching paint to the aircraft in my opinion (though now with Imperialis there are bases with rims for them).
Will you free hand the guys in the cabin glass and there would have been a nice pic fit led and that crappy clear plastic and there maybe a decal eldar for hover bikes for that checkers and other setouts as that must have taken some time!?? Nice 😃😄😁😆😅 5 Smiles.
This is the first time I learned that I need to have damp bristles for dry brushing, literally solved all my problems..
as a person who is relatively new to the hobby your channel has been to great help
That's great, I still buy random Battletech figures or terrain despite having not played a tabletop game of battletech in 20 years. There's something freeing about going in a game shop and buying a model because it is neat or exciting instead of because you need 30 more troop models to round out your army.
The interesting thing about this is by highlighting the panel edges on a black prime you've done the opposite of the typical airbrush preshade. And it worked really well.
Not going to lie, I would love to get one of the thunderhawk minis...and I would totally fly it around the room as well 🤣
I’ve done a few Aeronautica models now, never played the game. They’re fun, quick build and you can get really good results because of the detail packed into them. The Ork jets in particular are a great time.
Awesome! Do try the game some time though… I really enjoy it!
Jay, "The way I refill my energy bar is by hobbying; alone with my toys..."
Nick, "Am I just a toy to you?!"
2:43 The flying sequences really made me laugh. Vroom-zoom, indeed. 🤩
Oooh, the freehand, especially the Maltese Crosses, is very cool.
As soon as I'm able I'm getting one myself. Or 2. Or a 100. Who knows? But also, Imperium not Empire. Galactic Empire has nothing on Holy Imperium of Mankind!
Emperor Protects!
Nice paintjob but... I'm still waiting for you to finish your genestealer cult 👀
Ah I know that introvert recharging need very well. Hobbying is a great place to do that 😍 Can't beat getting new goodies!
Jay your final message was very wise. Enjoy your hobbying!
100k subs! congrats Jay and Nick!
No one mention historial wargaming.
Loved this video!!! Made my day.
YOOO CONGRATS ON 100K NICK AND JAY
The aeronautical models are probably the most detailed and nicely made models GW has ever made.
I don't think they're more detailed than the Adeptus Titanicus models. I build both, and while Aeronautica kits have some of the tiniest pieces, I don't think they quite reach the detail of the Titanicus stuff.
Spaceship go vroom indeed
Congrats on hitting 100k subs 😁👏
Don’t treat your hobby like a job. Never have truer words been spoken.
Too many players are much to competitive, I’m there to roll dice and admire your minis just as much as I’m there to show mine to the public that isn’t on IG or WhatsApp. I’m running tank heavy lists in an age where infantry reign supreme in GT’s and Guard Armies. I bring toys to the table that aren’t very pts efficient, but they have a party piece of being so ridiculous, even those Heavy Magna-Rail rubbish trucks are popped in a single salvo (Cerberus).
Oh well, I’m actually using a Thunderhawk like this as a paperweight in the office. Just to get some colour on the table.
Hey man I really only get into WH anymore for the lore and silly gun stuff, but I just wanted to say thanks for having a positive channel. You seem to enjoy yourself -- that's why I dig hobby content. If you ever wanna' gripe about GW feel free though. haha
I appreciate your attempt at covering forced perspective (the optical phenomina that the eye and brain experience indicating placement in a 3D space, both color, light, vanishing, etc.)
Simplest digest of how to make a small thing look large and far away is exagerated darks and highlights with muted middle tones. If you see a car in a parking lot 200 ft away you don't perceive middle tones, you see the highlights, the shadows mostly merge into a uniform black and the middle tones are just that, mostly defined by not being bright or dark and similarly lacking detail. Gradation in miniature painting actually works against viewing models on a table top, it looks great in macro photography but actually reads worse at arms length for most eyes.
Talking about forge world....I'll be possibly acquiring an astreus super heavey Tank
Almost to 100k !!!!!!!!
Growing up is what boring people do when they run out of other things to do. "Maturity" is their code word for "Boring".
I'm painting a large force of Black Talons for Heavy Gear Blitz (20+ models... lol). During the test painting stage, I realized that when I used Vallejo's brush-on matte varnish it would reactivate on edges, living the white/grey primer showing. Pretty edge highlights for next to no effort.
I really like the message in the last few seconds of this video. Too many people treat games like professional sports and Hobbies like they should be a second income. They are there for you to enjoy. If you don't like them, don't do it! I no longer enjoy 9th edition 40k, so I stopped playing. I picked up One Page Rules and like the 5th edition vibe. So that is what I do now.
100k LEZGOOOOO AND CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I just found war gaming and your channel a few months ago but I'm so happy for you guys :)
I don't mean to bash all the young'uns... I mean, Jay is practically still only a babby... and I think almost everybody I follow on YT is under 30... but WH is, for me, an old man hobby, lol... now that I'm an old man, I like model soldiers... I mean, I was around for Rogue Trader... as a kid... but life was too full for me for hobbies. Now I'm an old crippled monkey-skeleton I need something while I wait around, one foot in the grave.
Wonderful video, as usual!
Good video, Jay. Paint the models you like and play the rules you want to play. Forget FOMO and chasing the "best" army build.
I found an old Battlefleet Gothic Imperial Cruiser on ebay that I just "had" to have for the same reason, they are COOL. Zoom zoom, boom boom. I they started trying to brainstorm how it might connect with the Sister of Battle I'd been collecting and came up with the ship being some kind of reliquary ship on loan to the church like so many others. I kitbashed some stuff I thought was cool, (building/modeling is my favorite part of the hobby, after the lore) and now I have an entire backstory behind my ship that places it as the homebase for my Order of the Ebon Chalice gals and the Pronatus Order they work with. I'm excited to get some Voidbreachers here soon from Kill Team to add to the family, haha.
The chances of me ever playing BFG are next to zero, but that didn't really matter. Although I will admit to making sure my ship could pass as a legal ship if such an event ever happened. I kept it a standard cruiser, for example, as Battlecruisers can't be fielded without having more ships. Sometimes it's hard to turn off the smolder of hope that someday you could play, haha. XD
Well if your willing to paint some models for me I suck at painting but have some big FW models that need doing. T_T Love to own a model painted by one of my fave Utubers. I am going to be buying both of the Imperial Guard Super Heavy Marauders if your interested. XP
This technique looks so cool and I was stoked to find this vid now that I will be painting several ravenguard THGs. Lol though that you ended up doing the Reaver rather than a forgeworld Thunderhawk recently ;D
I've always drybrushed without water. This subtle tip is definitely something I'm going to try.
check out the Artis Opus channel for in-depth dry brushing work.
Sorry to necro an old video. This is an example of iPhones being very scary in how they listen to everything. I literally just purchased that exact same model about 3 days ago because a)it was in the store and b) I’ve always wanted a thunderhawk. Now this video has been recommended to me.
Guess I’ll have to get into legions imperialis now!
Great Paintjob!
Every game of Aeronautica i play is full of "Woosh" and "PewPew" noises from both player.
There is just no way NOT do it and its super fun.
Whener i get new ships, the first thing i do when im done building is give oen to my daughter so we can run around the house Wooshing and Pewing
A good video but I was very distracted by the 1988 Adeptus Titanicus Warlord Battle Titans Box that I noticed on your shelf; pretty cool.
I’m so happy I stumbled upon your UA-cam! Love your content!!! ❤️
Eventually id like to expand my chapter to having a navy fleet. Everytime I see a ship model I think of a tested video with Adam and Fon Davis talking about iridescent paint and specular highlights to be able to break up large clean surfaces and add visual interest while maintaining the clean uniform aesthetic. Space marines can be a lot more dirty and worn but whenever I get a FW stormbird, I definitely want to try it. Or maybe if I start eldar.
@EonsOfBattle So that water tower model you showed at the start of the video, any chance I could get a link to that. I work for my town's water company and we have that model of tower in our town and I think dressing one up for my step dad (who is also my boss) would be neat. Sorry for the ping and weird request, but it'd be a neat gift if I could pull it off.
I don't know if there is a vídeo of you painting a black templar un your templar color shame, the way you do it. I thinking in starting black templars army...
I personally fly my FW Thunderhawk around making "Pew Pew" sounds so I know where you are coming from.
Oh hey, you guys have hit 100k subscribers, congratulations!
Totally feel the video and purchase… buuut… may I recommend trying aeronautica too? It’s really fun!
Loved the video and finished model. I also totally agree with "enjoy your hobby". I tired of all the whinging I see on youtube. This was just the opposite and so thank you.
Next you should try something from the Bandai Mecha Collection. The newer Yamato ships have some pretty nice detail on them.
Day 3 of asking for more IG content. I love the channel jay, its just I feel that you leave us Guardsmen out, and we are getting that alot right now, especially from father GW
I play wargames and Pen and PAper since im 9 and i fucking dont care what people say i still collect action toys also and VHS i am living the best live and remember what makes you happy is the best used time
The base is easily enough pulled apart. They are just clipped togeather, no glue. Once painted the dial only go back in one way, so really easy to re assemble. Give it a go. Custom bases make a difference.
As a display piece, I'd be tempted to paint the base as a technical readout, glowing green etc to contrast with the red and the dark tone of the model. Maybe pure black or blue/black stem with or without speckled white starscape?
Your hair grew fast! I too want a thunder hawk to fly around my house. I just might have to get one! Thanks gents! Enjoyed it!!
"So the paint stays dry and doesn't turn to dust"
Me:"Dust?! ALL IS DUST!"
Great channel dude I don't play 40k but love painting and you have a fun channel. like and sub👍
Nice model! Great job on hitting 100,000 subs!
Quick question about how you applied your varnish? Did you apply it via brush or through an airbrush?
The angle of the dangle on the red rocket is definitely important 😆
Nice job on the gunship and congrats on the 100k Jay!
Awesome video! Thunderwork gofundme for Jay :P
Epic Armageddon is an awesome game, you should definitely give it a try someday 😁
Great reminder about what really matters about our hobbies. Thanks!
Jay! I'm from the future!! I just wanted to let you know that you build and paint a titan in the future. That is all.
Do a Battletech video, please. Hoping and looking forward to it! :)
Just going to keep waiting till they release a manta in aeronautica imperialis size....🤣
Really liked that window glow technique! Great end result and that free handing
Needed that lecture at the end. keep not buying minis because "that doesnt fit an army, i dont have a game system for that" but.. i want it. lol
I hope this video inspires lots of folks. I wat someone to play Aeronautica with
I think you should field this into a game of 40K as a real thunderhawk 😂
We call them minis because they are miniature sized non scale models. Subject matter is irrelevant.
Great video guys👍
CC translated Nuln oil to Gnome oil. That's my new term for it.
you should play aeronautical. it's a fun game . also paint the base. you can pop them apart easily so you don't get paint on the dials
Amen brother! Its a hobby, let's have fun and enjoy.
Mah would add some much needed quality to the Saturday Social if you deep it
That wraparound checkering is wild!
Spaceship go vroom indeed. Nice build and a nice video. Now I need to find me one... or two.
You need to get an original epic thunderhawk as a comparison piece.
I was kinda hoping you would give a face like those old war planes.
is there a space ship in 40k that looks fast? This just looks like mom's van as she drops the kids off at soccer practice
Great idea. Putty unnecessary, unless prepping cami
Thanks for the video J. Love your positivity.
"Spaceship go vrooooom!" - said a wise man once...
I do that sometimes myself with my X-wing minis as well. >_>
Should have done Angry Marines!
He proceeded to get no 1, but 2 warhound titans lol
Enjoy your model. Pew pew noises intensifies!
Which exact model is this one? like what set does it belong to, if it has one?
Time to get UA-cam-button for 100k subscribers!
Well done fellow member of the silly putty gang!
Amen brother - just turned 52 - the older you get the truer it is 😁
Would you say the angle of that dangle is at a ninety degree angle?
Pros prime with white to make the black really pop! 😏
I'm sorry Jay, but you are not an introvert :-D
Jay, your shelves make my heart beat faster.
That checkered pattern looks great
5:13 Jay was wrong it was a warhound titan
This was a great video with a great message.
Cut a little seat into it and it would make a cool jet bike.
