    I love longer projects like this, and I love seeing multiple videos that detail each part! They're honestly my favourite kinds of videos, because then I have a whole linear playlist that I can go back and re-watch all together. The buildings look phenomenal!! Can't wait to see this all come together.

      on that note, I think big long videos released at the end as "complete sereis" would be good
      maximizing watchtime, ect

      Im a big fan of the 'entire series' video at the end of a project, someitmes i dont catch every video so having a real long vid to put on while working is nice

      I also enjoy, longer projects which have a story line you can follow over several weeks or month, it actually keeps me more interested than several individual projects

    Screw the YT algorithm. Keep making vids like this. I love multi part builds like this. Zorpazorp, Squidmar, and Realterrainhobbies have been killing it with their multi-part build series style. It's refreshing to see y'all take your time on a project and be able to put some passion into little details or micro-builds instead of breaking your spirits trying to do a "first ones to paint this newly released model" or "paint X in Y amount of time" clickbait vids. I know it's what YT is pushing for but those lived-in type details will only add to the narrative of this board and make it more fun to play on. If you're gonna take the time to make a permanent fixture board for future content, it'll add so much more to the narrative to have these kinds of details on it. You're building a whole world with these details and it's fun to watch.

    I honestly don't care what the youtube algorithm says, I enjoy this type of video diary/blog of a large project. Seeing the non-rushed, more detailed builds and paints, even for terrain is great and shows some love for the environment we play on with our little fighting men. Keep up this sort of content, thanks for sharing.

    I don't like when the shorter videos feel rushed or unfinished, so I really appreciate the longer ones spanning several videos.

  • @tlangston2496

    I LOVE this project. I particularly like that you’ve spread it out. Not only does it mean it’s higher quality but it also feels more achievable for an average hobbyist. We can’t build a full scale board in a week, so why can you!? It’s truly refreshing to have one of the top UA-cam channels in the hobby feel realistic in this way :)

  • @leonardneubeck1003

  • @emocelot
    @emocelot Рік тому +1

    I think more focussed videos are generally better, especially series of them that are part of something bigger. My favourite series was the titan-board, which was very much more a "each step along the way" format

  • @Ryan_Parry

    I really enjoy the slow burn projects videos. They have a lot more authenticity as that is how people work on their projects at home. It encourages everyone to keep going a bit at a time.

  • @joekennington3865
    @joekennington3865 Рік тому +7

    The journey is arguably more interesting than the destination. We’re all amateurs at this, well most of us are, so seeing the effort that goes into a project makes feel better in our own creations. Also, we want to see you being happy in what you’re doing. If you’re stressed trying to finish a piece of work then it’s no fun for anyone. The content is amazing and so is the journey. Keep on being epic.

  • @dac9611
    @dac9611 Рік тому +2

    Long time viewer here with my two cents.
    We’re had a few videos, or sets of videos which I would describe as personal, or even passion projects that occasionally show up. For example Jen’s sisters of battle knight and the cathedral build, Jazza’s space bears or even his ork models, and honestly Dave’s got way too many examples of these.
    I feel like we’ve never really gotten to see one for Murray, he’s always helping out with group projects, or other people with their personal projects; I also feel like half the time when he is the focus it usually ends up being very specific sponsored content. For example right after the big titan board set of videos, and it was just Jazza and Murray for a few videos it felt like he still didn’t get to choose what he got to work on.
    I would really like to see a project that’s creatively his. Even if it’s only adjacently miniature related. His style of working, especially when it comes to painting is fantastic, and also quite a unique take on the standard approach that at least I’m not used to seeing.

    • @TabletopTime
      @TabletopTime  Рік тому +1

      We want the same thing! And are working towards it! Viewers don't often get the full picture, and part of that picture is Dave is full time on the channel while Murray and Jenn and part time, the nature of this means it's a lot harder to schedule those passionate dives in over the work week around the schedule. Rest assured, 2024 has a lot more in store

    @TheTechnoBearJake Рік тому

    I cannot speak for everyone, but personally I like and appreciate these videos a lot more. Seeing you guys make highly detailed projects AND have fun doing them at a much more realistic deadline is much more enjoyable. I don't care that the project is not fully done in one video, it just makes me hungry for more content and want to comeback to see the next video as you add to the project.
    Keep up the amazing work!

  • @kithpendragon
    @kithpendragon Рік тому

    It's good to show the process for longer projects. We see so much of the heavily cut or sensational content that sometimes it feels a bit disappointing when our own projects don't get done in a few hours. Thanks for taking a chance on the big stuff!

  • @HipposHobbyHours
    @HipposHobbyHours Рік тому

    these longer project videos are amazing, I love the fact that we can follow along (and maybe build along) over the span of weeks or months. The fact that you are able to put that much detail into a video also means that we as viewers get a really good feel of all the steps/decisions that you guys take to end up with such an amazing product, for example, the changing of the colour of the roofs, loved to see this, the tought process behind it and the before and after. if this was a video in the style of: We build a full EPIC table in a week or something, this might not make the final cut and that would have been a shame. Seeing your creative processes is really nice and I hope that youtube and the community will both love these longer projects. Just in case it wasnt already very clear, I do! Keep up the good work, I look forward to the next update!

  • @savingsgalore7102
    @savingsgalore7102 Рік тому

    I really enjoy the longer/episodic format that lets you and the team showcase your abilities. More importantly it’s clearly a more enjoyable process for you all and that shines through in the videos especially after you let your viewers know about the impact of burnout and deadlines on your wellbeing. I hope the almighty rithm lets you work like you want to

  • @baldore2256
    @baldore2256 Рік тому

    I like two things a lot on this one. I like that we get to see some finished stuff, even if it’s just a part of the whole. It’s satisfying and interesting to see the Aquila being made. Second, the different parts provide a nice variety. Terrain and minis make it easy to stay invested at seeing both the board and armies getting ready to go.

  • @ElEnanoAr
    @ElEnanoAr Рік тому

    I can't tell you how to make it more entertaining, I feel enterteined enough. I love this kind of video, as I've said many times before, I know absolutely nothing about warhammer, I don't play WH, but I love your videos. It's thanks to you and channels like squidmar that I've started painting minis, bought a resin 3d printer, started making dioramas. Keep doing what all of you do, is more than enough for me.

  • @Anubarak313

    Great format. Detailed builds, section by section. This is entertainment and education in one fell swoop. Being yourselves makes these videos, so I’m not sure you could make them any better. Enthusiasm and love for what you do is what makes this content come alive.

  • @Wepwaet
    @Wepwaet Рік тому +6

  • @sampsonkennedy
    @sampsonkennedy Рік тому

    According to black book 3, Alpha legion were officially seen in colours of "pale grey, gleaming steel, veridian, dull bronze, sable, indigo, amaranth and azure blue - both in main and combination." and that's before they started dressing up as the other legions.
    I'm also a huge fan of process content, especially one off pieces like this and your conversion videos. There's only so many ways you can put paint onto a model, but everyone has a different idea about how to convert something or realising a fluff piece in model form. That individuality is what I love to see in videos and I wish it was easier to find on youtube, so I'm glad to see you guys doing so much of it

    These multi part project videos are great, the slower pace makes for a nice relaxing video to enjoy with my after work brew.
    The note on how the Aquila at 40k scale would be an entire gaming board sounds like it would make a good 1 off video 😊

    I love when you hear from the crew about their actual historical experiences growing up whilst doing these sort of projects, I feel it allows the viewer to remember our own experiences and history with imagining what we could build if we had the resources.

I wouldn't mind another 5 minutes of you lot just working on the piece while talking about it "in universe", as part of the world building. "I imagine this building to be the offices of the so and so." "Could you imagine walking across the aquila gardens on your way to the ..." "This squad I am painting up right now consists of ..." I hope you get the idea. If you are passionate about the project then I want to watch your videos and hear you talk about it.

    I love big projects like this! A long hobby project, or a major car build, that's hours of entertainment lol.
    What I think would help is some kind of visual showing what's being worked on when moving to different segments. I would imagine something like a rough sketch of the product splashed on the scene, then the part that's getting covered in the next post of the video gets highlighted, or circles, or drawn in or something. For instance, when talking about the different buildings, showing how they are going to fit together would help build a picture as you go along.
