    As a lapsed hobbyist (and Dark Angels player), your videos have been fantastic to watch and get inspired in so many ways. Congrats on such a great project.

    Mate we’ve spoken before but I just wanted to thank you again for the videos and inspiration.
    You are without doubt my favourite DA creator and your style and thought process when it comes to making your army personalised in your own lore mirrors my own.
    Thanks and keep them coming 😉

    After years of knowing about 40k and reading lore and whatnot, about a year ago I decided to finally get some miniatures and start building an army and chose Dark Angels. Getting models where I live is kinda difficult but after some failed attemps on resin minis I managed to get a DA Combat Patrol, the Lion and a Phobos Strike Team for Kill Team, I'm halfway on the paint on the combat patrol and all your videos have been really inspiring on how to approach this. Thanks, Rob!

    • @cat_or_rabbit
      @cat_or_rabbit  3 місяці тому +1

      Ahhh enjoy it! Especially the lion! Really pleased they’ve helped or inspired, I was originally very hesitant to do a video on just ‘stuff I’ve painted’ so I’m really happy at how these Vlog type things have resonated with people.

    I really enjoyed this and it made so much sense to me. At 58 I used to be a 40K player and Warhammer player some 40 to 30 years ago. Now I can't retain the rules or how often they change, nor do I now have teh circle of friends I had bac then. But I still love to paint the miniatures. I am looking to paint up Black Templar and Dark Angels Combat patrol boxes for my son and daughter. So I will be looking through your videos. Subbed. 👍👍😉

    • @cat_or_rabbit
      @cat_or_rabbit  3 місяці тому

      I think sometimes people just expect you to know about every aspect of Warhammer sometimes, every one does the hobby differently and gets different things out of it I personally am rubbish with rules (I can play kill team competently-ish and Warcry that's really it) and I've tried a few books and it just wasn't for me, I think as long as you enjoy it that's all that matters, hobbying is a really personal thing I find and there is no right or wrong way to ever do it.
      Also it so nice you paint stuff up for your kids, my two will sometimes paint with me and its always a pleasure.

    Ive enjoyed these vids, your Sternguard squad is special, its the squad that also inspired me to kick off kitbashing, problem is i keep getting ideas, have been kitbashing more and more squads like devastators etc for my templars. 😂 So many thanks for inspiring us.

    • @cat_or_rabbit
      @cat_or_rabbit  3 місяці тому +1

      Thanks! the Sternguard turned out really well in my opinion especially as the kitbash's are all relatively simple, problem I have is I see a cool bit and think, id love to use that! and end up basing the model round the part, and with so many bespoke DA bits out there - this happens a lot!

    My comforter is my urban camo raptors. I love their lore, but not green. All the characters are camo too, but the librarian's right arm is blue, the chaplain has a black right arm, and the apothecary has a white arm. They're all wearing helmets, every squad has an infiltrator power pack somewhere. Got an Invictor dressed like a camouflaged loader from Aliens carrying extra gear. At least one model in each squad has a backup weapon from a different source, guard lasguns, cult shotguns, Tau marker lights...

      @rickdriver0 3 місяці тому +1

      I'm 44 and I've only been painting for 6 months or so... Nothing is finished, mostly built, but I've got the war suit primed and a squad of infiltrators and intercessors base coloured along with the primaris chaplain and Phobos librarian awaiting some detailing , just started the apothecary. I'm having some trouble focusing and getting stuff done, I enjoy the model building too much and my painting is pretty poor. But when I get to a battle ready standard I will definitely be showing some stuff off.

    I accidentally made almost the exact same character that you have with the powerfist and the plasma Pistol. I broke a piece for my hell blasters kit and just put some pieces on to make like a grizzled second in command, but kept the plasma battery pack on his back, just cut off the tubing and smoothed it out. I thought it came out pretty nice, and it adds some random flavor

      ​@@cat_or_rabbitI apologize, I meant the one on your deathwing intercessor squad. Obviously not the hardest to replicate close to but I thought it was funny cus I even used the same head & a shoes in scabbard. I had just finished priming him and then saw your video.
      Hopefully he turns out good, he's gonna be like the 4th miniature I've ever painted

    Love what you have done with this, I have about 8 minis all kit bashed as DA just not decided on scheme. I like the older 30k black and red look but can't decide if to go white with terminators I saw the same cult of paint video with the white scheme

    • @cat_or_rabbit
      @cat_or_rabbit  3 місяці тому

      I've been tempted a few times to do the older 30k look (might do that for a future project) personally I think its great to have some variation in an army, but kitbashing is what tops it for me!
