Never get into shooting, i suggest. With prices now you can get 10k in those two bags without any problems, and then you have one gun and some ammo. No holster, no clothes, nothing of the stuff the competition rolls in with 😁
The beginner missed his chance, he should have hired a pro to paint the mini for him and kept what was left. A true win, win.👍 Remember, “it’s all about the Benjamin’s Baby!”
My two main takeaways are: Money is no substitute for skill, but it does save you time, effort and affords you more practise, and if you're wargaming on a budget, look at what Andy chose to spend his money on to know where the biggest bang for buck will land.
you probably haven´t got that many free colours from the shop if it hadn´t been squidmares local shop and everyone know they did it for the video. It is not like they took the "dollars" (toy money most likely) in payment other than for the show
Joel is absolutely unhinged. The obtrusive thoughts of every mini hobbiest's inner child they want to set free. And he did really well. And Andy isnt just a master painter, he also is also knows the expert ways to eat a biscuit. Loved everyones results.
I like this idea, but i think you missed the opportunity to force Andy to get some dollar store paints and brushes and see him fight with those materials. Great video though
As a swede. To be perfectly honest i dont think you could. We dont really those stores where you could get that. Unless ordered online. He might be able to get waterpaint and kids brushes for that money.
Swede here, been a fan of joel (member of ijustwanttobecool), one of the biggest swedish content making channels. And ive also been a huge fan of alphaspel. Very fun to see all you 3 in the same photo lol:D
I kinda understand some of that brush pain. After buying a few sets of Artis Opus....man, a lot of brushes that I used to think were decent went into the trash brush jar to be destroyed by glue and stuff. And I'm sure people will tell me that his brushes are only "ok" but were still a ginormous upgrade.
Fantastic! Seeing Andy, one of my biggest idols, Joel from ijwtbc who I grew up with on youtube and of course Krister, Emil and Lukas, is downright gold!
Think what this really shows is that yes having more money allows you to do more, BUT having skills a good brush and good selection of paints is what matters most.
10:44 That's seriously a beautiful location. Can you imagine the sun shining through the openings in the back? Instant production value right there. Absolutely gorgeous.
This was somehow extremely entertaining, thank you. Can you imagine what they could have pulled off if they all 3 had cooperated though? Imagine a Necron Lord fused into the chassis of the Ork monstertruck, corrupting/ taking over it, with the cleptomaniac Ork slaying a Tyranid as they are about to go off the ramp/ jump...
I was fortunate enough to be able to participate in one of Andy's painting classes a few years ago. He really made a point about how basing material can really elevate a mini to a higher level. And, sourcing those basing materials from your own back yard was one of the key features. He even brought some basing material all the way from his back yard in England to Las Vegas for us to use. Good to see he's still about making his own basing materials. Pretty snazzy looking Necron as well. 😉
One thing that might help newer painters get started is to get a starter paint kit like the one from army painter and maybe a killteam or spearpoint box and show what can be done with just the tools/paints in the kits.
it's great when big channels share the spotlight with other painters so we get to know them. People like me have never heard of folks like Andy... 22x Golden DEMON! That's phenomenal. Thanks Squidmar for introducing me to this great painters and entertaining folks. The models all looked fantastic.
Cult of Paint is a big channel too, probably one of the biggest painting channels :P although Andy is mostly in charge of their Patreon videos, but he still does some videos on youtube as well
I think for fun they should have put the minis together and grade them 3rd, 2nd and 1st place. Nothing serious but would have been nice to see the them together and show the difference between the paint styles and experience.
It's wild hearing someone with a ten dollar budget paint something incredible and still be disappointed lol this was a super fun challenge and everyones work was great
It was funny the way he said "Uhu!" for the glue because we used to have a TV commercial in the UK for UHU glue that had the tagline "Don't say glue... say YooHoo!!"
sounds like you get paint too far into the bristles. make sure to not get paint more than halfway up the brush, or it risks getting into the ferrule and drying up, causing the brush to split
A pro with 10$ clearly showing his craftsmanship and abilities, was so clean and well blended was my personal fav, just for making that work of art happen on such a minimal budget
Never have I ever thought to comment this ever before. What an exciting sponsor! Just something i needed to get to work! Video was great too, like they always are, thats a given!
Started watching and was totally hooked by the concept! Got to say that given the limited resources, Andy came out with something truly amazing... I just wonder if the dude at the hobby store knew who Andy is and that he was dealing with one of the world's best painters? Money matters... but only to make life easier. Shows that it's actually skill and experience that matters even more. Thanks team for a rad video ❤
Super fun concept. Loved the video. Also super fun highlighting local game stores....if I had 10 bucks only though....craft/dollar store all day every day haha.
@cbjewelz hey, I'll tell you what I tell my club mates. Any progress is progress no matter what that looks like. And if it's only fun in small stints, and you don't have a deadline to have a model or army painted. Do that, if you're looking for a social setting try finding a local club, I'm sure they do hobby nights, it may just be everyone jumping in a vc in discord, but it can help immensely.
So do you have to take a couple hours on one miniature or is time just a correlation to quality like could i still have a decent army/ set spending like 30-60 min on each soldier? Sorry if this is a dumb question im very new to all this
The more you paint the faster you get. You learn to make mini production lines with your painting. Though bigger and hero units will take longer as they do contain more details and will naturally get more attention. Good questions
I still thought Andy's piece was the best. The other two were great, maybe bigger, more involved, but end piece, the atomsphere, focus etc, still best on the necron.
The best joke would have been if the guy with the 1000$ would have just bought some paints, and offered the rest of the money to lukas to paint the miniature for him. That could be another challenge for you guys. You each paint a miniature but the other picks the paints.
I love Andy’s cold and methodical approach. What do you get ? - Black and White hah It has been fascinating to see what he chose to focus on, with the few points of interest on the mini. High end content as always !
Just discovered your channel and your editing style and overall way of doing this type of content inspires me :D What do you guys shoot with and the lighting setup is awesome too! :D
Hey man, we've got a list of the cameras we use on our website. As for lights, usually very simple. The important thing is just the lights in our studio ceiling are daylight balanced.

if he isn't Guna use Angron can I have it plz
Dude got a monster truck from who knows where and just slapped some armor plates and weapons on it. Truly embracing the Orc way of life.
Grave Digger is a legend in NC/USA, but I still agree with you!
@@brantcoltrain1303 no its a legend world wide but i cant say ive seen it in that colour scheme.
The red grave digger is Grave digger 1 I think, or at least a retro theme based on it.
BoiZ.. He took the red one.. The red ones go faster.. Every Greenskin knows that..
He is the prodigy of Waaaaagh
@@brantcoltrain1303 grave digger is like THE monster truck world wide not just USA
Love that in this hobby $1000 worth of stuff fits in two medium sized bags
If you're a noob and go for the overpriced stuff, sure. It can even fit in one bag.
Seems excessive, I'd get one full bag TOPS.
1000 for two bags? usually its just one
now look at the volume of a 4090 :D
Never get into shooting, i suggest. With prices now you can get 10k in those two bags without any problems, and then you have one gun and some ammo. No holster, no clothes, nothing of the stuff the competition rolls in with 😁

Remember, “it’s all about the Benjamin’s Baby!”
You aren't wrong! Big brain move. lol
Genuis move!
That was my first thought: Just commission one of the other guys. :D
Yeah, Emil gives him the cash, he turns around :"Hey Lucas, you busy man?"
Hahaha, that was a good one!
You should have included how each of the contestants reacted to the other contestants' mini.
Was waiting for this
Ditto
@@BloodHassassinme too 😅
Bro really bought a Belakor and an Angron JUST for their swords
You only get this kind of ruthless purity from a noob. Or somebody with far too much money, haha.
@@MCharlesPainting or a noob with too much money
Gotta use up that budget!
Really Ork from him what can i say
But that is the coolest Ork I have ever seen!
If a commission painter with 40 years experience is the middle ground, dear god what am I
In their world I bet it is 😅
Middle ground guy was still worse than the 10 dollar guy. The necron looked better than the tyranid, skill level wise.
Someone who doesn't know what skill is?
he said it straight up.
never won a golden demon = mid.
;P

"Ever seen basing material that good?" "yeah." 😂

I like this idea, but i think you missed the opportunity to force Andy to get some dollar store paints and brushes and see him fight with those materials. Great video though
Yeah, the $10 and the $50 were basically the the same of money in terms of what they got. An actual $10 budget would have been more interesting.
As a swede. To be perfectly honest i dont think you could. We dont really those stores where you could get that. Unless ordered online. He might be able to get waterpaint and kids brushes for that money.
That has to be the greatest hobby store ever. They had everything. I’m jealous
And you can pay with fake money!
Alphaspel? Yeah, I think it is the largest board game shop in Stockholm, food is great too.
Direct correlation between bicep size and mini paintjob quality
Feels so cursed to hear Joel speak actualy good english but im all in for it
Swede here, been a fan of joel (member of ijustwanttobecool), one of the biggest swedish content making channels. And ive also been a huge fan of alphaspel. Very fun to see all you 3 in the same photo lol:D

Andy's arms 💪💪
is this what we are missing?
Limiting Andy to 10 bucks and then having him paint in front of an entire hobby store worth of pants within arms reach seems like a cruel joke
Limiting Andy to 10 bucks and handing him a Ben Franklin was hilarious.
Think what this really shows is that yes having more money allows you to do more, BUT having skills a good brush and good selection of paints is what matters most.

im just getting into the world of 40k and this was a cool, appreciate you giving us b roll footage during ad reads
i did not expect to see a collab between squidmar and joel from ijustwanttobecool
Dark dice sounded intriguing, then they mention Jeff Goldblum and it became a must listen.
Andy scares me with his skill. I’m pumped to get back to painting! I low key wanna try pushing it like that to see how far I can get
12:51 Andy is ridiculously good! 🎉
Yeah his necron looks better than the tyranid
Herregud, IJWTBC och squidmar collab. Detta var inte med på 2024s predictions

$10 for paints and brushes is a pretty wild deal, I don't think that I have anywhere near enough skill to pull that off
That was a $100bill lol
@@jphanks Squidmar is Swedish, that was 100 Kronor. It's usually 7-8 Kronor to $1 USD.
@@l33tg4m3rl0lz hah! Irony, Ben Franklin is on the USD $100. At such a quick glance it resembled a different currency 😀
Finally another episode of joel med klass
Joel?
Fan det här måste jag se
11:27 "Wow look at that bro! Ever see basing materials like this?"
"Yep."
why is ijustwanttobecool there WTF this is a fever dream
Joel prata engelska trodde jag aldrig att man skulle höra, fett bra video iallafall!
0:50 Aaaaand he's gone... 😂
Love that Joel was in this ❤❤

Now do an epic kitbash and paintjob with the left over pieces of Belakor and Angron!
Belagron, the Mildly Miffed.
Yay, another Squidmar upload
I want them daily!
Loved the first Dark Dice playthrough, great fun and really looking forward to catching up with the Goldblum sessions!!!
Cool to see Alphaspel in a video. I didn’t know Joel was a warhammer fan, I recommend their videos, if you understand swedish.
That was another really fun video to watch; with various ideas and strange results. Nice
Joel should have spent 100 bucks on paint and then commissioned Andy for 900 bucks to paint the model.
Then he wouldnt have had any model that Andy could use the paint on?😄
@@yuiop271 … they got the models for free
Man I have not primed a mini with a brush in decades, but I remember how painful it was
Not just that but he wasn’t even using primer. He used vallejo black cause he didn’t have money for primer.
Refreshing to see something original great challenge great video as always guys
Was really looking forward to seeing all of them reveal their models to eachother

wow baby!! also awesome job the editor. made the video really epic! ♥
I love Krister's color scheme.. is there a list of which paints he used?
I had no idea Joel adolphsson was in to the hobby. Nice.
the fake money absolutely killed me 😂😂
How do you deal with tips of brushes splitting during your painting as I experience it quite a bit?
I did a video a few weeks back, if you check out last 10 videos or so
@@SquidmarMiniatures I will loo so I can learn better brush skills

Just the Setup , Already the best idea you ever had.
Vilka affärer var det ni köpte från? Första var Alphaspel på Instrumentvägen 2 i Stockholm, men vilka var de andra två?
Fantasia och World of boardgames
The pure black necron with green at 9 minutes was actually sick looking though
Joel's was like, definitely not the best painted one. But it was still really really good, and I loved the creativity, works perfectly for orks.
Super fun concept. Loved the video. Also super fun highlighting local game stores....if I had 10 bucks only though....craft/dollar store all day every day haha.
Where can i get the orc miniature with the swords? I would like to try to paint it.
This was a super entertaining video. Kudos!

It is fun! 😊😊🤘
The secret is. It is.
It's fun for me the first 1-2 hours but after that I wish I was painting in a group setting, seems way more fun.

Shout out to Alphaspel!
what's the white work mat you have that has the paint ratios etc on it?
Ork is the best starter army to paint
As an American, I appreciate the acknowledgement of the $100 essentially being $10 now. Thank you.
I feel so proud after seeing Andy Wardle used the same brush I use for painting 😉
The best joke would have been if the guy with the 1000$ would have just bought some paints, and offered the rest of the money to lukas to paint the miniature for him.
