I thought I'd make a little video on what I've been doing in my spare time during lockdown. I'm not a professional by any means, I just thought I'd show you guys the journey so far and that anyone can do this with enough time and patience. Kisses xxxx
TheGamingBeaver Mate, these are absolutely exquisite! Well done! Very meticulous work. I salute you. Could we see some dinosaur kits, or figures painted by you in the future? In any case, brilliant job on these. Fantastic 👏.
I like seeing people being so enthusiastic about their hobbies. I rediscovered old hobbies I used to have years ago (independently from this whole C19 situation) and it's really....clearing my mind...I don't have a better way to describe it, it just feels good to do. And I think it's great you found a hobby like that as well!
Really well done James, they all came out amazing. You say your not a professional, but you can easily become one. You have a natural talent for creating something beautiful. Keep up the amazing work and remember to always be yourself cause that is what brought our attention to you and much love from us all. 💙💙💙💙
beaver: paints like a professional even though he really doesnt know what hes doing me: has experience from art school and can still barley paint a dot without the coating being uneven
Wow the paint job is magnificent! I love how different and detailed everything looks. You can really tell he put a lot of love and effort into this, and it's just so beautiful. It shows Quarantine can let you do amazing things. Beaver put so much time and effort into this, when he was done he looked like a viking!!
Hi “the gaming beaver” I like watching your vids and it help me with hard times sense my half my family got the virus and when I watch you you make me happy
I find it weird that everyone is getting into Warhammer because of quarantine or other reasons around this time, myself included. But those minis look really really good! I'm not sure about other people, but I would definitely like to see you do Warhammer battle reports in some way, or just more Warhammer in general. Again, good job with those Necrons!
I´m currently sculpting an Indoraptor and I´m not at the painting stage, watching this gave me more motivation to continue it, thank you for the inspiration!
Wow this was very out of the blue and honestly I'm lost for words, I've been in the hobby collecting tyranids for years even watching your videos while I paint and I wouldve never expected this. I love the painting it's really good and I'd love to see more of this. Well at least now you can call yourself thewargamingbeaver!!
Man, i forgot all about this channel. A blast from the past. Probably been like 3 years since I've seen one of tour videos and it was just randomly suggested.
I’ve never seen a war hammer video before but this was amazing, I really loved this, I could feel that satisfying feeling of completion, I really hope you do more, theses are so good
I dot know how much I’ve spent... god knows what I could’ve done with that money. 6 armies and many killteams later and I’m still going strong, not to mention terrain...
@@nathanieleck1023 All jokes aside, I feel my money was better spent on 40k than it would have been if I had continued playing video games. New consoles + new game releases really add up over time and don't provide the same social interactions or sense of accomplishment that 40k does.
@@Headywon Actually why I have been getting into it myself. The whole gaming industry is going places I want nothing to do with and then I find 40K with amazing lore, cool models, and a fun strategy game.
So good to see your progression and the story with it! Loved the video, good luck with Indomitus, I got 3 boxes myself and spent 9 hours building just half of the marines ^^.
My friend is into these, me and my other friend went over to his house to play it this one time, but the friend i brought along *ruined* it and just wasnt interested when we were like, 2 minutes in. Edit: he ruined it by just not participating, and we couldnt do it without him.
Well, to be fair, it was more around a year ago.... he kept posting this one series about like these apes evolving into more modern day creatures (Forgot what the game was called) and from there I just lost interest.... I don’t play the games he plays anymore, and I just felt like I outgrew him
This was an unexpected surprise but a welcomed one at that.. Really really amazing painting on the models. And love the enthusiasm you are showing in this hobby. Amazing 💖👍👏👏
Wow, i think i have to adress this here, just found your Video yesterday an i have to say this was wholesome, entertaining, interesting and lovely. To See how you improved yourself gave me so much power to challange myself again in paintin my army. Please make more Videos like this.
I started off in the 90’s and drybrushing was my go to. Now I have returned to the Grimdark side I’m using multiple techniques that UA-cam and social media has provided all the knowledge I never had access to before.
I'm SHOCKED you didn't start Lizardmen with all their dinos. Also that's one slick looking army. You've managed to do what 80% of the hobby never gets to. A fully painted army.
Oh... Oh my... Literally the same thing is happening to me right now! I am ten Warriors, one Reanimator, and one Plasmancer down already... I have been painting mine with Runelord Brass and accenting with Leadblecher, Abaddon Black, and Tesseract Glow. Really liking it so far.
Every time we wait for a video... They're always good. Thank you Beaver not not losing ur mind during quarantine and trying something new for us and you to enjoy!!!
That is a very nice paint job! I still have some of my LOTR mini figures, though they now belong to my daughter. Still do some of the painting as well as sculpture making. So yes, I do agree that crafts do keep you sane sometimes.
beaver weve all been in that warhammer phase ive gotten back into it and i have just gone mad and bougt about 3 massive boxes of space marines and these green ogres and i have beenspending too much on these as they are very expensive but very addicting to collect and play with, btw i dont bother with painting the complex ones and i am very impressed with your collection i have also started collecting chaos space marines and i am addicted also keep up the good work beaver!
I've been with you & your channel since 2014 so its nice to see something you honestly enjoy that isn't dinosaur related even though we all love dinosaurs. Speaking of painting figurines i be cool to see what your painting skills would look like on the, Beasts of the Meszoic action fingers like the raptor & ceratopsian series.
You have such an amazing talent with this and they look absolutely amazing!! If you enjoy doing this then I think you should definitely keep doing it and I'd love to see what you might/will do with other things!!
Hey man I am a long years fan and I can proudly say I am really into warhammer!!! I am really exited about your upcoming journey into both the lore and tabletop of warhammer 40k. I won't lie this video was the highlight of my day!
The other day as I was watching another channel, probably one of her you shoutouts, as they thanked their new patreons and I saw "TheGamingBeaver" pop up. That's where I told my nearby friends "Hey, another Jurassic Park fan is into Warhammer 40k now!". Yes, I was excited. Looking forward to Carnotaurus-necron Toast!
I think some people in your fanbase aren't appreciating this video enough, the painting, the dry brushing, the amount of effort put into these pieces is just extravagant and you had better keep uploading videos covering your painting skills man, I am genuinely impressed and anxious to see more on this from you beaver.. keep it up💯💯💯👏👏👏
This. This video just made my day. Like the day you met Jeff...warm and fuzzy no not the beard but just great to see you enjoying things and keeping well during this uncertain time. Thanks Beavers
Good man glad to see you Getting into this hobby I’ve been a fan of this since the late 90’s necron are my army aswell I really hope you start getting into this happy it’s soo rewarding mentally when it comes together and very therapeutic. Maybe even record your matches and put them on here?
As someone who is very new to 40k i got the start collecting tau empire with intent of making it my own paintwise (im gonna make them look like irl oceanic species) and play with the tau but seeing this one of my fav youtubers getting into 40k like me it made me smile and confident
James, james, james... heh. Dude you really need to know... You’re really darn good at this, I think it’s extremely impressive. And the fact that you can stay focused on working on em for such an amount of time is really inspiring. You’re doing an awesome job, keep it up! :D
From one Necron player to another, welcome to the Tomb World. Used to watch your Jurassic Park videos a few years back, so I was a bit surprised (presently so) to see that you had gotten into Warhammer 40k.
the thing i enjoy most about 40k is that you can (kind of) choose what ur models look like but i dont really enjoy painting but i do have a friend who likes painting so much...he offered to paint mine but anyway..
You should try the d&d miniatures, there are hundreds of people with different styles and poses with many having translucent affects. They also have dinosaurs and dragons
Excellent job Beaver, your paint skills noticeably improve as you go from your first models to the latest! I haven't tried painting or playing the tabletop game yet, but I might some day. I am an enormous fan of Warhammer 40k and Age of Sigmar lol, mostly focusing on the video games and Black Library novels. If you haven't already, you can post your painted models on Warhammer reddit boards to get feedback and tips from the community!
James, You should start a series, explaining your proces and a how-to for painting miniatures. I have a lot of games with mini's and have thought on painting them for the longest time, but I just don't really know how to start and am scared to ruin my mini's. Would be cool to see you explain how to paint and your proces on doing it.
