I vote you use all the skills you have picked up in this hobby to try to weather your table to match those gorgeous late tudor timbers
I agree
Yes
Get this video in my eyeballs right goddamn now
How about a midwinter minis Yogscast crossover special? ;-)
@@bingobangoist I think my reality would explode
Hahaha yes
I definitely would avoid painting the table black. Personally I would go for a slight tinted varnish to keep the wood looking beautiful and interesting. Black is far too easy and looks terrible after lots of dings, knocks and gouges. Clear varnish works well to also protect the surface. Well done on the new studio.
Came here to suggest this, glad I'm not the only one.
I am a oil stain man my self with a hard clear lacquer for the protection
yeah, a varnish that preserves the wood grain seems best.
This is what I was thinking as well.
I agree, black doesn't look good unless it is done very fine and sleek, so imo it doesn't fit with the rugged design of the table. And like you said, every bump and scratch is going to show on a black finish so it doesn't quite suite for furniture that's meant to be used.
I dig the new studio Guy! Well done with the imperial fists too.
You're my favourite mini painter guy, your presentation style is straightforward and unpretentious and super accessible whilst also showing great techniques and your end results are stellar, keep it up man :)
True
@@user-ko3tv7jl2r absolutely the editing and camera angles must be so awkward for him but it’s so seamless :o
same
Amen
Congrats on the new studio, looks awesome.
I'd lacquer that gaming table and just let all that glorious wood grain shine through.
Absolutely, and paint that porcelain throne gold...
400 year old building. That's got some history behind it. Older than my country (us). Congratulations can't wait to see what amazing things you make from there. Lobe your work and channel
That wood table looks fantastic as is to me, though my tastes are certainly rustic. You could stain it perhaps. Great video!
I would also go inbetween black and naked wood. Dark stain will do it
Agreed, a stain and oil will work really nicely, I did it with my marine ply boards and they came out great.
Stain the wood. It’ll look good.
You made me inspired to play orks now I have 3000 points of them
I'm so, so sorry, haha
@@MidwinterMinis 😂😂
@@MidwinterMinis warg!!!!!!!!!
My lord, I can only imagine how many boyz youve got. I've just started Orks after my CSM hit 2000 ish points - 10 boyz down, a hell of a lot to go!
@@JoeHardacre great to see you join the tide
Congrats on your new studio! Thankyou for everything you managed to get me to finally paint and enjoy the hobby!
Thanks matey!
Wonderful, now I know how to paint the dead Imperial Fists for my Iron Warriors bases! Thank you and keep up the good work 😄
Iron within, Iron without!
You also paint chaos. I paint the Thousand Sons
You paint Thousand Sons, I paint Blood Angels
@@WAcrobat19 my uncle paints blood Angels too and im thinking to put a primaris helmet on my helbrute base so when we fight ill show him whose the boss. And my dad is going to paint aeldari so ill ask him if he has any helmets over after he has bought the start collecting box so ill show them both whose the boss😎
Heresy;
For the table I highly recommend natural wood look with a varnish or other finish of your choice. Nothing like natural wood look, and it will go well with your Tudor era workspace!
Congrats on the new studio it's gorgeous and thanks for a great video. Best wishes to you and the family.
I’d paint it personally, they used construction grade 2x4’s to make it. Varnish is really for more expensive woods.
Absolutely fantastic hobby space, and a great tutorial! Glad to see my favourite 40k channel is doing well :)
As a viewer since the Sandstone Necrons; the growth of the channel has been great to see. Stoked you're able to do something you love and use it to help support yourself and your young family! Congrats on the studio space Guy :P
Hi! When you foreshadowed Midwintermini's future, I dreaded an announcement of a change away from what you've privided on the channel (I started watching since the Blackstone Fortress basing with combs video). But fret not; You'll be providing the same cool, honest & USEFUL (pragmatic, logical & "go away bad transfer!") content. Yay! Thank you. -Scopes Maverick
Guy, man I cannot tell you how much your content means to me!! You have an authenticity that really separates you from so many others - thank you for all you do, but more importantly who you are!!!
Wow. I'm going to have a studio like that one day. Congratulations, you've earned it
Thanks matey! Make it happen! :)
I've always loved this terminator design, it rides the line between goofy and cool so well, and feels the closest to how these suits are described in the novels: hulking, slow, heavily armored, almost like walking tanks that can shrug off all but the heaviest weapons without stopping. Thanks for shouting out another great looking 3rd party model line!
That is a cool recipe for yellow and I really like how you made the likely most intimidating chapter to paint look approachable! Cheers mate and enjoy the new studio. It looks awesome
Your “Hive Fleet Fabulous” (and much gentle pushing from my partner) is what lead to me getting my Start Collecting Tyranid box, and then I treated myself to a Hive Tyrant too, for my birthday. I hope to one day have a glitzy army of shiny space bugs to show you - here’s to 2022!
I've been a fan since the BSF series. Great to see the new studio, and how far you've brought the channel. Well done!
I vote natural finish for the table. For my Hawkshroud boys I've had good success priming black, undercoat pink, then yellow base coats. I find the pink gives the yellow a richer tone. Love the result you got from this technique, looks great.
Just found your channel 3 weeks ago and I have been hooked . I just love your content . Pls don't stop making videos.
Your painting tutorials got me started a year ago and now I’m bootstrapping my own hobby channel! So excited to see what the studio opens up for you!
Just got into the hobby this past month, gotta say I love your battle reports, they're by far the best ones I've found on all of youtube. The format works great, especially for a beginner like me!
I totally agree.
You’re back!!! You’ve been missed… congratulations on the new studio, your videos have always been well polished articles, but something feels different about this one… definitely a step up. long live MWM!! 👏👏👏
For my hobby personally, this is the greatest video youve ever made, thank you
I was having a conversation about those Saturn shoulders the other day. I absolutely love the silhouette they create.
You're like a wizard with the brush and color selection. Amazing as always.
Happy to see you're making content again. I'm an Age of Sigmar guy, and I don't plan on getting into 40K *at all* but I love your stuff. It's just *that* good.
Absolutely my favourite miniature hobbyist on UA-cam! Such amazing production values and simple but clever techniques. Always makes my day when I see a new video out. Keep doing you Guy! Love the new studio
Absolutely love these videos, it's definitely just the feeling of sitting in a painting session and watching you work the process.
24:03 I see what you did there.
Btw: I personally really like basecoating my yellow minis with pink, it really pops nicely.
Those are some nice looking Imperial Fists! I really like the look of the Tortuga Bay termintors but giving them regular Terminator heads gives them a whole new and equally cool look!
I've used Micro Sol and Micro Set for a while, it's something I picked up from the scale modelling community. In my experience you often don't even need to fiddle with the decal after applying Micro Sol, it does its thing and gets the decal conforming to the surface on its own. I have some home printed decals for a homebrew chapter of space marines and the decals are a bit on the inflexible side. Micro Sol and Micro Set have been invaluable in getting their decals onto my models.
Wasn't convinced by the thumbnail, but man these minis grew on me quickly! love them
The terminator helmet really makes these models.
Glad to see Mircosol and Microset getting some more love in wargaming. Its hugely popular in scale modelling and seriously makes using decals easier!
Love the new studio too!
I had no idea it wasn’t popular in these circles. My train people gave me bottles when I first started. We could learn so much from other hobbyists.
Definitely! The scale model and railway hobbyists have so many techniques, tools and tips they use that would work for wargamers perfectly!
they are making new terminator models soon for 2023 and by the looks of them they will compare pretty well with the primaris scum
this video is fantastic! I really appreciate your effort to make your tutorials accessible and easy to follow. After watching this I feel confident to start experimenting with yellows on my models! I stumbled across your Beginners guide for 9th edition video and it really made WH40k game play feel approachable. I even showed it to my Mother and she picked up a Adeptus Sororitas kit and we've been painting and watching your videos together ever since! Can't wait to see you future vids in the new studio space!
Beginning to panic, three weeks since the ancient Exocrine, and no MWM videos. Cold sweats, drooling, even worse than coming off coke (I mean the beverage). Then today, it arrives. Life is good, Guy and Penny are back, Gods in his heaven and all is right with the world. Great video Guy, really enjoy the laid back style and great content. New studio, same direction, same high quality, what's not to like. Oh and hope the little dudes are good too, dying to see them learn to paint.
Recommend keeping raw wood or going for a light stain. It nicely frames the darker table mat.
Awesome work. I think you should do more painting stuff like the Black Stone Fortress. Keep up the good work.
Awesome new studio, awesome new video! I'm so excited to see more of it! Congratulations on the awesome upgrade! 💛
I'm sold. Brilliant approach to an intimidating project. Also: RAW WOOD! Lovely new space. Congratulations and continuing good fortune in 2022.
Love the gaming table. You should totally use a dark gel stain on it. It looks to be pine or spruce, so you would get a fun grain contrast.
Alternatively, you could toast it with a blowtorch to give it a really nice natural finish
Beautiful studio! The table would look excellent if it was varnished.
Just about to comment the same! Make that wood texture really pop
That wall in the back round of us office looks amazing !!!! Love older stuff like that
I love these old terminators, so classic, and then an Imperial Fists colour scheme to top it off! 🔥
I'm so glad I stumbled on this channel a few months ago via the algorithm. It's become my favourite 40k channel and really helped me get back into the hobby after a long break. The new studio looks lovely and I'm looking forward to more videos!
It's wonderful to see a new video up! I've been missing my fix! Straightforward yet undeniably creative, and with results that look mind blowingly good - especially given what conventional wisdom would dictate for the number of steps.
Glad you're back, midwinter minis is my favorite miniature channel by far
(also your studio looks sick)
You've done a great job with the working space you have created. Lovely. I don't play table top gaming but I used to when I was a kid. I build ww2 dioramas, but painting warhammer figures is how I learnt to paint 25-30 years ago. Love your videos, keep up the good work!
Good to see you back Guy , you and a few other mini painters on here were a big inspiration to get me painting . As for the gaming table , either a lighter stain or something that matching the old timbers peaking through the wall. Love the new studio , hope Penny and the babies are well.
Congratulations on the new digs! Looks brilliant!
Table, IMHO paint it white and when somebody comes over to do a game have them sign and date it in black sharpie gives you a history!!
I think Simon needs to come back and help you with the 1 thing a studio should have for a painting studio. . a spray booth setup permanently for you to spray inside. I have seen a few videos of people doing DIY or purchased. turn it into a video I know you are a paint channel but seeing this kind of DIY is helpful and I think a spray booth would be an ideal addition if you have space.
Anyways gratz on studio cant wait to see the titan!!!
All / most paints are with brushes, no airbrush. Sound of your voice is soothing and Your painting is spot on. Don’t change Guy.
Congrats on the new studio Guy! Also, I'm digging the new version of the theme track! Sounds great 😊
You are by far the best Warhammer and Hobby channel in my opinion! Your Videos are incredibly well produced, you don't hesitate to also show the mistakes you make and you are unbelievably sympathetic. These last few weeks I tried to find an alternative while waiting for your next Video, but still nobody hooked me aswell as you do with everything you do. Thank you so much for your work! I hope, your family is well an healthy! Best greetings from Germany
good to see you back Guy, your vids have really reignited my hobby motivation after a bit of a slump, so thanks!
Glad you're back and I love the new workspace.
I'm stoked to see where you go with this all! Great work buddy!!!!
Congratulations on the new studio space! It's been amazing to see the growth of the chanel. Well deserved!
As a part time furniture-maker myself I'd probably suggest a Danish Oil finish for the table. It's VOC-free which is ideal for an enclosed space like that with limited air flow. Last thing you want are harmful fumes hanging around... And it'll keep the natural wood look whilst adding a little more protection over a simple oil or stain. It's also pretty cheap and extremely easy to apply!
Congrats on the new studio! Looks great Guy. Love the yellow, and thanks for getting me onto those Terminators!
Loving the new studio. Keep up the good work mate we appreciate it.
You’ve made the good aliens from the Fifth Element: the Mondoshawan. Looks great!
A video for painting yellow and using acrylic inks, today is a good day. Now I’m tempted to paint the best space marine chapter, The Lamenters
I’ve missed your content Guy, welcome back super excited for your future!
One (of the many) things I love about this channel is the relentless positivity. Honestly, it's a refreshing change.
Glad to have you back. Congrats on your new studio.
Amazing studio - looking forward to future content as much as i looked forward to all your past video notifications!
Real happy to see Mel Bose’s book on your shelf. The man is a legend, as far as I’m concerned
Watching this in the middle of winter is another kind of vibe
So many cool things here, but I think I'm most excited by you exploring new model ranges. Very cool! Love some indie mini manufacturers!
I think I'm definitely going to be coming back to this video later when I need to do something big and yellow, it's a really useful guide! Great work!!
As an Imperial Fists player myself it's always nice to see my yellow boys getting some love.
These are absolutely epic Terminators, I don't like the Imperial Fists colour palette but you've really sold them here. The new studio looks awesome man - I've been with you since your Sandcrons - also, my Sandcrons - thanks - and what a journey you've been on. Keep going you legend!
Your videos have swiftly become some of my go-to Comfort Content
Enjoying a couple speed-paints or a Bat-Rep in the evening with a nice cup of tea is real treat
I've only been able to make time to paint a couple models myself, but I've been able to start with a surplus of confidence from all I've learned watching your tutorials!
Congratulations on the new studio, and wishing you luck in the new year!
I play Imperial Fists and I "blame" you for getting me into playing 40k. I support you taking up Imperial Fists as your devoted Space Marine chapter
good to have you back, even cooler with the new studio!
And also the muted midwinter minis theme in the outro. nice variation!
Awesome you're back and love your new studio!
Guy I’ve been watching you for a long while and inspiration to so many people including me in this hobby space. Thank you guy.
(Also I can’t wait to see your take on bigger 40k games and stuff)
New studio looks fantastic Guy. Looking to see what the future brings.
After watching your Videos over 3 Years now and never leaving a Comment i thought it´s finaly Time.
i LOVE your Videos. I like the Intromusic, i enjoy listening to your Voice and i absolutely LOVE the Retroseries. i duno why but it gives me Chills and calms me down so much. Keep on making Videos guy! Greetings from Germany :)
These look simply stunning. It's amazing this is a "simplified" or "fast" painting.
Oh man! Guy! You are living the dream! All new studio looks excellent, well done! Life is good, I have been watching you since the beginning you are STILL one of (if not) the best and... British too :) ..so closer to home for me. Keep up the brilliant work buddy!!
I have been a subscriber since the sandstone necrons video and have loved wathing you grow, and now you have a new studio! Good friggin job!
It’s great to have you back❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wonderful new studio, and amazing saturnine termies!
Very very nice! Loving the retro content Guy, keep it coming!
Phenomenal! Love you’r enthusiasm to create exactly what you want. Inspiration to all hobbyists 😊👍
Nice, love the new studio…congrats as well.
These are awesome. I’d love to see you delve further into customizing and kitbashing some imperial fist models
Great work Guy. Best of luck with the new studio.
Really Loved these minis and the paintjob! keep up the great work!
Man I love your journey and where u at now well done keep doing it
Keep doing you! I sincerely hope that you never change your style as at least for me your energy found itself its own little niche in that relaxation hangout feel without the pressure to paint something amazing or feel like i need hobby goals but to just, relax, and enjoy rhe hobby in whatever way that means for me.
had doubts about the model choice, until I saw that completed paint job... They look great! Well done
They look amazing. Love your channel, you have a really wholesome sounding voice.
That armor chip effect is amazing for the effort. Thanks Guy!
They look like the old space crusade terminators. Nostalgia alert!!!! Love them :)
