I traveled to Canada to meed Dave from MiniWargaming, we spent a lot of time together, talking about our hobby, about how and why we like it, why we keep doing it. A slightly chaotic film production that turned into this film (a slightly chaotic film caused by the close proximity to chaos) - we share our thoughts on the different aspects of the wargaming hobby. Paint more minis, play more games.
Please like and subscribe to @miniwargaming - this video is a collaboration, as much their video as mine. I just get to publish it. So please show them support.
A great thank you to Dave for inviting me to MiniWargaming and into his home, for taking such great care of me while in Canada.

Absolutely top tier gold. Now just repeat this process with 5 or 6 different hobby personalities and make a full length documentary. /Clyde
Documentary about different types of miniature paintings
I vote for Uncle Atom next.
Thanks Clyde! Maybe this one of those organic things that will happen if we just continue to keep this going :)
Please do one with Squidmar and goobertown, those like this video will rock, keep doing all you do Alex your videos are a great journey to join you on, thank you.
Full wargaming spectrum
Pretty wholesome to see Dave and his son sharing the hobby. Even singing “War Pigs” together. It’s just cute.
Indeed!
Shot for shot your content is art. Love the color grading, love the scene composition, love the story telling.
Thank you humbly C
I feel like i’m watching two old wargaming buddies tripping out on mushrooms and just discovering how the universe interacts with paint and plastic for the first time and they’re not necessarily meant for just one purpose…. Mind is blown…
This needs to be expanded with more hobby related content creators, either into a full length film or series. TO KICKSTARTER/GAME FOUND!!!
Well thank you Martin! I’d never really thought about anything like that… what a venture :)
13 wonderful minutes of Alex and Dave making each other crack up.
"Babe, are you filming a Wes Anderson movie again?"
"N-n-no! It's warhammer video!"
Another milestone on your list of miniature hobby videography - very much appreciated Alex! Please make more of those gems.
Thank you S!
What took Wes Anderson so long to discover miniature painting?
Two of the best things in life combined!
Thank you humbly H!
Its heartwarming to see Dave send his son off to collect more skulls for the skull throne. Gotta start them young.
Love the semi documentary style! I need more of this kind of thing in my life :) You guys have some great chemistry.
Really thank you !! Your videos are very therapeutic and fun…
My pleasure!
sweet Collab. I love it when you hang out with other people. Dave is a cool dude
Thanks Matt!
This was a lot of fun! Thanks for sharing!
@@MiniWarGamer_Dave Hmm... that might be too much fun? Only one way to find out! haha
Dave is so right, you two have perspectives that are perfect to be the voices in each other's heads.
There need to be many more hobby collaboration vids and back and forth hobby consciousness, spraying thoughts and perspectives at each other vids. You interlock so differently and so perfectly.
I realise it's a long way to go to make more content but there's split screen and this is what it was made for. Please consider making more, I know that editing this from the mass of footage took a long time, genius level concentration and was very hard work, but Alex, this is toweringly good creation, composition and editing, you made something that I don't believe can be matched by other thoughtful, clever creators and presenters.
Your professional skills and talents are unmatched in the YT hobby universe, you need to set aside your natural humility and just sit and accept this because it's truth.
Afterall those skills didn't just happen, you've mindfully worked hard on them for many years, it's your way.
Thankyou for taking so much time to produce this vid, it's unmatched and such fun to watch and listen to, pure joy in YT form
+1
I can't be other that humble after comments like this Phil.
Well genuinely (unfaked for appearances sake) humility is also a natural trait I've come to recognise you have, hence my reference being in place ahead of your natural reaction Alex.
I do hope you've come to value my considered opinions over the last couple of years tho, because the above is confidently assessed feedback and not for appearance sake either.
You could also do immense good with advice and tuition in lighting, videography and production for some of the other content creators who would be open to it and who's work certainly deserves it.
Now I'll stop embarrassing you Alex ;0)
(Just you retain this is the considered feedback from a relatively bright guy (ok my posts don't always reflect that) who also thinks before speaking about others hard work)
I couldn't agree more with this comment. This video is a masterpiece that stands apart from all other content in the hobby space.
Hahaha, this is fantastic. I love how you highlight Dave's personality!
@@MiniWarGamer_Dave Hahahaha. The legend, himself. Just wanna say I got into 40k in 7th and have been watching you since then. Thanks a ton for the content!
PLEASE enter this into a film festival!!
it tells a quite lovely story between two friends and the hobby that joins them.
Just perfect! It’s hard to disagree with boiling it all down to “just play”.
Yepp. Just stellar. And gorgeous. Thanks for all you contribute with to the hobby!
Thank you for watching Ai!
This was a real treat. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Our intrepid hero, aka "The Painter" meets the irresistible force, aka "The Player", and controlled chaos ensues. The subtitles helped, a bit. I will watch again to ponder the deeper meanings of life and beyond. This was a delightful viewing experience, especially to see whether the Painter or the Player would break character. But then, just what is the Player's character?
😉
Thanks Mark! I'm not sure we solve the meaning of life, but we had fun.. and that must be at least one of the meanings of life.
This is brilliant. The transition of let's play a wargame, battle report, "hassar" or today we are painting x with y and I'm going to show you z into documentary and almost sitcom is lovely. Great fourth wall, let's not take ourselves to seriously shtick! But what I most love is the two with depth archetypes represented meeting in commonality and difference; the painter versus the player.
Thank you. And yes, two rather different individuals that still have a great time together
very different but with mutual respect and love for the culture. All strength to your war axe and paintbrush!@@52Miniatures
For me wargaming (specifically warhammer) is a therapeutic event that happens either through media, painting, playing a game, or just chatting about it with other people. It has brought me out of some pretty dark places while I sit and paint - most of the time without anything playing or on in the background. It makes me sad sometimes that my friends don’t partake in any of it be ause it’s “too expensive” then when I buy multiple armies for them to even just play small games with me they shoot it down. It is a ‘me’ activity and even though I don’t get to share it with that many I’m happy and proud of what I do and the community I involve myself in. Cheers to you all and thank you❤
Thank you G I appreciate it
I love the depiction that the two of you are pretty different people with different approaches to the hobby, but on some fundamental level it's the same hobby. Keep up the good work
Im 100% glad I waited until I could watch and enjoy this. Absolutely one of the most beautiful and fun pieces I’ve watched in a while. The chemistry and energy between Dave and his son is downright one of the most rewarding dynamics of this piece. The editing and candidness of the shots make my heart swell with joy. It’s brilliantly lit and shot. I could’ve watch 3 hours of this as a full documentary. I honestly hope you make some more content like this time to time. It makes me miss story telling. Thank you for sharing a brilliant piece of work. This made my day.
Thank you for letting me know your thoughts through this lovely comment. I’m glad you enjoyed the video 🙏
One of my favorite things about these videos is that I never know what to expect, but I'm pretty confident I'm going to like what I find. This video is no exception.
Awesome, thank you!
lols...that opening scene 🤣
I remember when I first came across the MWG channel on UA-cam, and my initial reaction too it, and specifically Dave. As a typical Brit (very reserved 🤣) I found Dave to be a typically over exuberant and larger than life American, putting on an act for the cameras. It was just a bit too much for me. Firstly, apologies for thinking you were American 🤦🏼♂️ Secondly, I mistook your enthusiasm for the hobby as an act, which I’ve learned in the 5-6 years I’ve been following you, Matt, and the rest of the team, that this simply isn’t the case. Yes, you are a larger than life character, but it’s no act, it really is who you are! And I applaud you for that. It’s infectious, in a good way, so I apologise for making assumptions about you when I first saw your videos. I was very wrong, and I’m glad I stuck around to find that out. Keep being you Dave (Alex too, I love the way all your videos tell a story!), you’re a treasure amongst this hobby!
Thank you Andrew! Your comment means a lot to me. Over time, I’ve become more comfortable with who I am and sharing more of myself online. So much of our time is spent engaging online. For most of us it’s behind the camera. For some it’s in front. I’ve become more cognizant of that and I appreciate transparency and genuineness on either side. Thank you again for your thoughts and comment.
@@miniwargaming as I said, just keep being you, it’s one of the things people love about you. Thank you for being understanding of my misreading you, I’m not afraid to admit when I’m wrong. And in this instance I really was so far wide of the mark!
Lovely comment Andrew, thank you 🙏
So great. This video is so you! I agree with other people who said you should do something like this with other well known people in our community.
Damn what a dynamic duo, your personalities played off eachother so well. Great video!
Thank you, I appreciate it.
Alex just amazing. I love the unique film style you bring to our hobby. It is a breath of fresh air and yet feels like something we should have had for so long. I also love that you never fall back on a gimmick or a buzz word way to sell your video it's just always a masterpiece. You can tell this by even when I watch this around my partner or family they are captivated just by the simplicity and beauty of your work. The story telling of how our hobby impacts the lives we live and the help it provides us in the journey is magnificently shown in your work. Alex we need more of these with the people in the hobby. You truly a wonderful hobby hero. Keep up the awesome work ✌️
Thank you humbly Josh, what a lovely comment to read
What a charming video, would have loved to have seen an even longer version. Nice one
I love this. Thanks for making this. Great filmmaking!
Fantastic, painting has always been a natural thing for me to do, but rule systems make my brain melt. Creators are bringing this more to the fore, thank you for highlighting the different sides to the hobby
bwahahahahaha! you are really channeling your inner Ingmar Bergman here! All that's missing is a chess game on a windy beach. (still giggling)
Awesome video Alex. Really love the documentary vibe. I think your shot choice work really well. Pleasure to watch.
Thank you H
I don’t get at times who is trolling who, but this brought a smile to my face! So adorable .
Your journey through/in the hobby space has been spectacular to watch! Thanks for all the novel and entertaining content ❤
Thank you Oil!
Thank you so much!
Thank you 🙏
This is probably the most Canadian and Swedish thing ever put to film. Well Done.
Hah! Thanks 🙏
The style, lighting, editing, photography...everything, of your videos are second to none Alex. You have made other you tube wargamers, content creators, whatever they want to call themselves, step up their photography game a little, even if they don't think they have. Thank you for sharing these looks into the painting and gaming side of your life.
I won’t take credit for the others, but I appreciate your comment C 👍
Great video, love seeing Dave try to keep a straight face, hopefully you get to do another collaboration with Dave, ninjon and miniac. Love to see you and goobertown on a road trip.😊
The most entertainment in a long time from miniature CC's. Really well done
Thank you ckat!
This was beautiful, hope to see more of this kind of content!
Great video - it looks beautiful (naturally) but also shows your complementary personalities and approaches really nicely
Glad you think so!
Unbelievably well done. Amazingly directed and edited.
Much appreciated!
Your videos always look like you're shooting movies, the cinematography is top notch
Much appreciated Ya
and man i love dave's personality. he's so... wonderfully strange.
Thank you for this amazing video. Watched it multiple times and it still entertains. Great content & cinematography
Awesome, thank you!
Two of the most quirky and unalike folk in "the hobby" getting along way too well: good to see.
It reminds me of a very old show called "The odd couple".
Felix and Oscar bjorn again.
It was endearing to see.
Dave throwing the dice and Alex's reaction was excellent.
Thank you Brad!
Thanks for this. It was both fun and heartwarming!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice video, I really like it. Different perspectives on the same hobby. Both positive.
We saw Dave paint minis...now I'd like to see you play some games with him :)
Thanks as always 🙏 I did play a little, sort of Ravaged Star with Dave
Love this, älsk'art! Please do more of it.
The only way I’ll be able to reconcile this video not receiving an Academy Award is by reminding myself that the following greats of cinema have also been overlooked; Edward Norton, Michelle Yeo, Barney the Big Purple Dinosaur…the list goes on!
The list is long and one day we will fight back
“People can be brought together, without any sort of requirement beforehand” me sitting here wide eyed at that comment after building and painting and reading rules for then last 3 months 😅
Ha ha!
i love this. dave's a real treasure
👍👍
Would love to see a full length documentry directed by you one day. Fantastic stuff.
Maybe one day!
They're such simple ideas, and yet they seem lost on so many people. Do things in the way that you want to do them. Engage the way you want to engage. And always be enjoying yourself. Cultivate the idea of everyone wanting to approach the hobby in that way and it really does improve it in every way.
The only problem, that I could watch it a lot longer... Great video!
I've got to get me a wargaming buddy who stares at me the way Dave and Alex stare at eachother, makes me blush!
Alex your videos are always great. Painting helps clear my head. I don't even play warhammer. If you like using citadel paint pots I would recommend something called Tweexy Hinge. It is made for nail polish but it's great for pots.
Thanks for the tip!
What a wonderful conversation, insightful, amusing conversation. (and who doesn't like a family rendition of FNM war pigs)
Hearing Dave sing sabbath with his son made me very happy
Two of my favorite creators. Had to click
Pure Chaos absolutely amazing
Great stuff friend 👏 👍
Thanks for sharing your journey
Thanks as always!
you give new meaning to the term "Life of a wargamer" brother!
Enjoyed this. Good stuff. Looks liek you guys had a nice time.
It was!
What an utterly charming video. Cheers Alex
Thanks Mr Boom!
i have never seen two individuals with such differently sized heads
Great video. I have no words to express how good it is. 👌
Wow, thanks!
“As long as you’re back by 8” 😂
This is such a wholesome video!
Thank you Alex
This was so awkward. I love it!
11:32 note how small that gargant is
Did you get to play with it too?
I love this, so well done!
Thank you!
loved it! make more!
Why do Alex's videos just look so good?
Men this was really strange, like to see Jiminy Cricket trying to teach something to Rorschach
I have never felt camaraderie like I do with Alex in this video. I have 6 started armies across AoS and 40K. I have never played a game.
I appreciate it C, thank you.
Great video! Thanks!!
Glad you liked it! Thanks!
This was very wholesome.
This was wholesome ❤️
Lovely and wholesome ❤
Dave on camera is a bit much for me. Alex really keeps the video on the rails and helps make it watchable and enjoyable.
Beautiful
Thank you 🙏
"if there was one, would it exist?" LMAO
Some high level philosophy going on there
Nice
This was a fun video I like
Is it just me or was Dave sculpted with heroic proportions?
Wonderful video!
Thank you very much!
I love how Dave is trying to be serious in a lot of the shots but is just losing it :D
Great
I loved this.
Is this Dave at his most 52 Miniatures, or 52 Miniatures at his most Dave.
Yes
Yes 👍
Yay Canada!
What a fantastic video
Glad you enjoyed it
The bird at 7:04!👌
Love that bird
hey pals!! 🙂
Hey G-Man!
