      I was legit having the first (hopefully only) panic attack of my life after launching a project of mine and seeing almost no movement in the stats... apparently Steam updates stats to devs in 24 hour increments lol. This video was instrumental in helping that out, your project and goal here was so wholesome and inspiring.

I can't let my family be homeless. So.... I sold all of my MTG decks. I collected for 20 years. I actually cried as I boxed them to ship out. But it put a brand new roof over my family's head. 11000$. Ill never play again. So.... I just got into Wh40k. And you sir have become my personal painting teacher. You are a good person for what you did for the guy who sold his army. God bless you.

    So wholesome. Perhaps one of the kindest gestures we people have ever seen. Glory and honor to you, Squidmar.

    Such a great gesture. You can tell everyone was nervous at the hand off and I hope once the cameras turned off he did say thank-you as I didn't hear him say it in the footage.
    Shock can do many things though and to see that much given to you many folks would react many different ways.

      Haha i know your feeling, over half of my army is painted by my freind, and rest is a VERY slow progress... Even tho its "just" khorne.

      I was the same until I started batch painting. Now I can smash out a tactical squad in almost the time it took me to do two minis. Say I was painting a tactical squad of Dark Angels. May as well do the whole ten in base coat while I've got the green out. Just smash it on there. Then the same with the Leadbelcher and so on. As one mini is set aside to dry, grab the next one in line and repeat. Then I end up with a finished playable unit that looks pretty good, and I can move onto the next unit. Really helps get through the backlog of unpainted minis.

    I haven't started learning to paint yet, I have 3D printers, I have some paints, brushes and airbrushes and I hope to be half as good as you guys one day. This was so awesome to get to watch, and whitness you giving to others, and the support from loot studios as well. Keep up the amazing work!

    No front but its kinda sad that GW wasnt sponsoring this. I mean its their community, their fellow player who had to sell their products for such relatable reason. I wished they didnt even twitched to help.
    so double thumbs up for LOOT. Really amazing that you guys sponsored the miniatures.
    And of course great gesture to organize and paint all that.
    Your supporters, the ones that helped you painting are great too.
