your weight loss journey since that archive footage you showed at the music expo thing is really commendable, amazing work dude, life inspiration and hobby inspiration on one channel!
Hey Guy, just a heads up that the Battletech Clan Invasion box does not have the full starter rules… the Battletech A Game Of Armored Combat is the “base” starter box and comes with the full starter rule book. The clan invasion box is more of an “expansion” and comes with expanded rules for new tech and units introduced. Overall the game is a blast and not as hard as you’d think! And the new plastic models are beautiful!
Love to see some Battletech content from you in the future. As others have said you'll also need to pickup 'A Game of Armoured Combat' if you haven't already, and keep an eye out for the Mercenaries Kickstarter later in the year.
I regretted not buying that Rabbit mini from Modular Worlds, and double regretted not remembering which company made it so thanks for jogging my memory!
My friends and I bumped into you (and showed off some of my Necromunda conversions) just as you were sorting the ticket lanyard. It was lovely to meet you!
Ah man gutted I didn't see you there! Would have been cool! Had a blast for my first year and definitely going again, some great wee indie games and some exciting new games I'm waiting on Kickstarters on to start!
Your line "I suppose that depends on how you define new." made my wife laugh with her wonderful voice. Perhaps she could relate to the statement. Great video as always.
I had planned to try getting to the games expo this year, but I was in the end just not mobile enough. Maybe next year! I have kinda fallen off track with the hobby since February when I managed to break my leg and ankle. Now I'm starting to regain some mobility I have been catching up on some miniature UA-cam channels again. Hopefully soon I'll be on crutches and able to get to my work area again finally and get back to the models I was working on before my accident.
Would loved to have gone but unfortunately work got in the way, I really like the look of the mech board game and seeing those vintage terminators is just cool, thanks for the fun vid :D
I always forget you were with Arturia. Love when worlds collide... Really enjoying V Collection 9. The updated SQ80 is just... I mean, sorry... Back to minis....
The Clan invasion box is not a starter box for battle tech you need Battle tech game of armoured combat which is the correct starter. You can pick that up at shiny games and other games stores if available.
I bought some Carnevale stuff from TTCombat, some Call of Cthulhu stuff from Chaosium, and some cassettes and a playmat for Escape The Dark Castle/Sector from Themborne. But by far, my favourite purchase was a massive Burrito from the food trucks outside the hotel. 🌯
Hi, what respirator do you use for working with resin? With the release of HH 2.0, I was thinking about getting a Castellax at some point, and I wanted to get a respirator for when I do.
This is amazing! i wish i could've been there but sadly i live across the sea- i'll have to wait for Warhammer or tabletop conventions to come to my area, lol
The nice thing about battle tech is it's rules and combat scalablity... So much so they released 3 beginner boxes each introducting uped in scale you bought the 3rd one with the most advanced rules... And the "Standard army" in battle tech is 4 mechs or it is beased on an afgreed opan battle value. Overall Battle tech can be worse then 40k but most of the time it's easier/cheaper.
Hey Guy, Thanks! it's funny that all these old boxes and models you show are things I have yet to do in my collection too! so it's inspiring to watch. I have just started my old box of 1990's Harlequins. And they are looking pretty cool with a modern paint technique I must say. And they have held up sculpt-wise too (blessed be the Goodwin - classic skill) I wish I had a way of sharing more of my stash with you too. I still have Tyranid Attack! :D (You are probably not lacking content but if you ever do.... it would be a cool feature. Guy paints my old "something" and auctions it... fer cheeeritty ... so it doesn't go to waste ;)
Awww, I missed seeing you there! Did manage to have an awkward high-five with The Pickle Jar though! BadSquiddo got a good chuck of my money in the form of Peegs too! :)
Battletech does look very complicated on the surface, but it's actually surprisingly quick to pick up especially if you're just using Mechs at first. I'd stick to 4vs4 or 5vs5 while picking it up though.
Wow if you get around to those interviews/painting videos it will be all time. Both the Naismith and Chambers vids were some of my all time channel favourites. Also, you bought second hand, even if unbuilt Warhammer, so that technically doesn't count as "new"!
Snap, my bf also got the clan invasion box from the expo. (Shame that we didn't get to meet you there!) He suggests using Flechs Sheets to automate away a bit of BattleTech's crunch.
looks like fun! I did my first game convention last year at GenCon and it was beyond overwhelming. and I also picked up that same Battletech box! and waaaaay to many other mechs. would love to see some BT content on your channel if you enjoy the game. make sure your teeth are in good condition, cause its CRUNCHY.
2:10 that's a pretty good starter army right there, though if I were you I would beef up your squad with some more Elite units. The Elite units are wild!
Was there Saturday I also purchased codenames duet ! And cascadia and a pocket game called tinder blox. I enjoyed it but was disappointed that a lot of big publishers where missing and no pre/early release available. Was expecting to find some good deals but wasn't anything different than shopping online.
I somehow have that ork box set, without the box. I guess a benefit of being old. But that terminator box. Is that a librarian you are holding? I didn't even know these were boxes. Pretty sure I have that librarian that I bought as a blister yonks ago, thick with paint...
So are we going to get an update on that PoS and an update on what might be coming up on the channel soon? That big bunny looks comical. I can thankfully say I don't need one for my own collection. Printed Obsession did a set last year titled 'Jerrys Circus of Horrors'. Which includes a Bugs Bunny looking magician pulling a person with an "Oh god how did I get here" expression on their face.
You glanced over it in your opening footage of the event... you escaped the Horizon Zero Dawn stand unscathed...i did not...but the game seems fun, i've yet to give it a go but im gearing up to.... and the miniatures are interesting :) asides Tau i've never really painted a mech or mecha so it'll be fun. i got the main box, sacred lands and the thunderjaw boxes... the thunderjaw is amaaaaazing :)
This a nice haul. Hopefully Hatty will be able to do similar paint jobs on the channel like painting the Christmas Goblin. Nice video. Keep up the good work.
Hi, the atmosphere in your videos is always so light, friendly and relaxing, but this time it has a special vibe) Would absolutely love to visit the expo. Wish you inspiration)))
I am heartbroken I didn't get to go this year. I went in 2018 (I think? Covid has blasted my Chronometer) and it was such good fun. I would have adored meeting the MWM crew there. Maybe next year
Is there any update on the start collecting tournament? I know that things have been happening in your life and I don't want to intrude so please dont feel obligated to answer if it makes you uncomfortable
Hi guy I've started building and painting warhammer and u was the 2nd person to get me into this hobby and I was wounding do u have any tips and tricks and I've started a streaming channel for my warhammer painting and ps when us the next vid out
3:32 No relation to Matt Grey or Matt Green, though they are seen together surprisingly often. ...I never get to make that joke in writing, since it's usually 'Matte' in Australia.
I guess I've made it into two of your videos now. What's next? A battle report? You might have to teach me how to actually play with the things I've painted first though...
your weight loss journey since that archive footage you showed at the music expo thing is really commendable, amazing work dude, life inspiration and hobby inspiration on one channel!
That Jack-o-lantern Unclean One is amazing. I’d love more details about it. Is there a video about it?
Not yet, but I'm sure we could make a video where Hatty chats about her old "season special" models and how she customised and painted them!
@@MidwinterMinis I would LOVE that
@@MidwinterMinis Yes please!
A friend of mine made Cosmic Voyage, amazing to see the launch do well
Oh, nice! Small world!
@@MidwinterMinis Galaxy* ;)
Been a big fan of Bad Squiddo for a while, I’m glad to see more people grabbing their stuff
Eeeee!!!
Yay!! Amazing to meet you, and really grateful for the mention and haul!
Guy! You learned to drive, congratulations!
BATTLETECH - yes! Big thumbs up there Guy! Time to dust off those fusion reactors
Reactor online. Sensors online. Weapons online. All systems nominal.
You will need the base game though clan invasion is an expansion.
@@MidwinterMinis Why does that sound like Homeworld to me, lol?
Let's go please!!!!
Keen to see some Battletech videos painting the mechs and discussing your process of learning the ropes.
I have a MIGHTY NEED for that Oldhammer logo MWM shirt
They look WAY better than I imagined! Haha
When will they be Out?
@@stefank188 Not sure yet, but stay tuned!
@@MidwinterMinis OK cool, i absolutely need one
Oh yes! I'll be needing one of those as well! 😄
5:32 Discourse was at Game Expo?! Cool to have my home town graced by hobby royalty.

Yeah!!! BATTLETECH! tho that's the expansion to the "core" box, A Game of Armored Combat
Ah man gutted I didn't see you there! Would have been cool!
Had a blast for my first year and definitely going again, some great wee indie games and some exciting new games I'm waiting on Kickstarters on to start!

Came for the con coverage, stayed for the MiniBrute 2S. love mine. Thanks!
sooooo are hattie and my man an item orrrrrr
@ Midwinter Minis
Alpha Strike is a much faster paced version of the Battletech rules. Very fun. Looking forward to seeing BT on your channel.
Battletech always amazing... rules are not as nightmare as SFB, but timeless
I also went way too deep into Battletech recently - Really look forward to seeing content from you in the future with some Battletech!
Would loved to have gone but unfortunately work got in the way, I really like the look of the mech board game and seeing those vintage terminators is just cool, thanks for the fun vid :D
I always forget you were with Arturia. Love when worlds collide... Really enjoying V Collection 9. The updated SQ80 is just... I mean, sorry... Back to minis....
Haha, I mean, why do you think our background music sounds so good? ;)
There must be something in the water as me and a friend have become obsessed with Battletech again as well. Been eyeing up that clan box myself!
Holy shit I had no idea you worked for Arturia! That's dope!
The Clan invasion box is not a starter box for battle tech you need Battle tech game of armoured combat which is the correct starter. You can pick that up at shiny games and other games stores if available.
Awesome but those dioramas are on another lever! Superb vid.
I know, right? I need to up my game!
I bought some Carnevale stuff from TTCombat, some Call of Cthulhu stuff from Chaosium, and some cassettes and a playmat for Escape The Dark Castle/Sector from Themborne.
But by far, my favourite purchase was a massive Burrito from the food trucks outside the hotel. 🌯
I look forward to Battletech painting guides!
Hi, what respirator do you use for working with resin? With the release of HH 2.0, I was thinking about getting a Castellax at some point, and I wanted to get a respirator for when I do.
I see badsquiddo minis, and cheer greatly. Annie is amazing.
A true hobby hero
@@MidwinterMinis indeed. Her shieldmaidens and gothic horror-sets for instance? Amazing. The mimics too... Peeg-mimic..

New upload and games expo content, the perfect combo!

Had a manager named Matt Brown once. Cool guy. Always got us pizza.
Awww, I missed seeing you there! Did manage to have an awkward high-five with The Pickle Jar though!
BadSquiddo got a good chuck of my money in the form of Peegs too! :)
NICE! Pickle Jar is such a gent... and YES! 'MON THE PEEEEGS
Particularly liked the Mimic 50 Peeg in a trenchcoat, couldn't pass that one up!
Talking about great models have you seen the Burrows and Badgers miniatures?
Bad Squiddo is a great little company.
I remember buying the Terminators when they came out!!!!! How times have changed - now I download and print!!!!!
Battletech does look very complicated on the surface, but it's actually surprisingly quick to pick up especially if you're just using Mechs at first. I'd stick to 4vs4 or 5vs5 while picking it up though.
BATTLETECH CLAN INVASION BOX! YES! Paint the Timber Wolf/Madcat stat!
Wow if you get around to those interviews/painting videos it will be all time. Both the Naismith and Chambers vids were some of my all time channel favourites. Also, you bought second hand, even if unbuilt Warhammer, so that technically doesn't count as "new"!

Oh, good shout! I'll check it out :)
LOVE those old school 40k sets. I really want some.
Well deserved recognition Guy ✊✊

I love a good crunchy tabletop game! Might take a while to learn though, haha
@@MidwinterMinis can't wait to see how you paint up those Clanners!
The squiddo stuff looks awesome!
2:10 that's a pretty good starter army right there, though if I were you I would beef up your squad with some more Elite units. The Elite units are wild!
When are we getting more Deathmatch start collecting? and or the start of Deathmatch Combat Patrol :)
Was there Saturday I also purchased codenames duet ! And cascadia and a pocket game called tinder blox. I enjoyed it but was disappointed that a lot of big publishers where missing and no pre/early release available. Was expecting to find some good deals but wasn't anything different than shopping online.
Please please do a how to play / paint battletech I absolutely have deep dove into the universe!
Gunny Peegs could be used for Cawdor bomb rats in Necromunda?
You're a genius
I somehow have that ork box set, without the box. I guess a benefit of being old.
But that terminator box. Is that a librarian you are holding? I didn't even know these were boxes. Pretty sure I have that librarian that I bought as a blister yonks ago, thick with paint...
What. A. Haul 😎 Looks like a great expo too, which I were there!
Gutted to have missed you! Was Cosplaying with the Ghostbusters all weekend and completely forgot you'd be there
If it's any consolation, I definitely saw you! Haha
So you WERE THERE!
I knew it was you. Totally. The shirts totally didn’t give it away.
Can't wait to see you paint those old cool minis.
This is a Battletech UA-cam channel now !!! :D
So are we going to get an update on that PoS and an update on what might be coming up on the channel soon?
That big bunny looks comical. I can thankfully say I don't need one for my own collection. Printed Obsession did a set last year titled 'Jerrys Circus of Horrors'. Which includes a Bugs Bunny looking magician pulling a person with an "Oh god how did I get here" expression on their face.

Tables tactical looks like a version of the european pub classic "shut the door" dice rolling drinking game 👍
Ohohoho! Battletech! Super excited!
Battletech! Yess! So much fun. Elementals are a pain in the ass. But still loads of fun.
I was working with Lucky Duck at this event and I'm so upset that I didn't get to meet you!! You're such an inspiration to me, so hopefully one day :D
I hope at some point you make it here to the USA and I can meet you!
So jealous, I had that metal Terminator box back in the day, but got rid of it during my 15 year sabbatical from the hobby……….oh the mistakes 😩
Oh my days... I was literally the stall next to Tablestastic and I didn't see you!
I am heartbroken I didn't get to go this year. I went in 2018 (I think? Covid has blasted my Chronometer) and it was such good fun. I would have adored meeting the MWM crew there. Maybe next year
Was awesome meeting you Saturday Guy! Sorry for towering over you 😂
Lovely to meet you too, my giant friend! Haha
Until next event or chance meeting! I aim to have a mw shirt
You walked past me at one point and my plan was to say hi, saw you walking and spaced! Dude you tall! 😂😂 Hope you enjoyed brum
Is there any update on the start collecting tournament? I know that things have been happening in your life and I don't want to intrude so please dont feel obligated to answer if it makes you uncomfortable
I hope we have another clanner join clan wolf soon guy
Guy I was wondering whether you could make a painted collection video?
That would take... quite a while I think! I definitely have over 1,000 painted models in my collection
@@MidwinterMinis thank you very much for the reply 😀
Hi guy I've started building and painting warhammer and u was the 2nd person to get me into this hobby and I was wounding do u have any tips and tricks and I've started a streaming channel for my warhammer painting and ps when us the next vid out
when is the warlord titan gunna be done
Just like to point out it is me in at 0:49 in the blue Christmas rush shirt. I was so engrossed I never noticed anyone filming lol
Awesome!
He guy I love your videos you’ve gotten me into warhammer and I love your videos
Okay I might be dumb, but who is Hattie? 🤔
Hatty used to film and edit painting videos for Warhammer TV and Warhammer+, but as of this month, she's working for me!
Can we all take a minute to admire the absolute amazingness that is that fanny pack at 1:00? (I guess hippy pack in that orientation)
Cool video and a awesome haul Guy
Hey is there any good war hammer sets or models for about $10
There's loads available if you look for pre-owned stuff rather than brand new! :)
@@MidwinterMinis thank you
What a cool convention!
Woo hooo! Battletech shout!
I would totally love to see a Midwinter Mini’s does Rogue Trader video!!!
I love your videos, but are you going to be going any more start collecting battle report videos? Those looked so fun
3:32 No relation to Matt Grey or Matt Green, though they are seen together surprisingly often.
...I never get to make that joke in writing, since it's usually 'Matte' in Australia.
What game was on the big table you showed , the one with the LEDs?
Dang it I so wanted to go. Was going to, but then new job lol. Hope to go there next time!
no no no, go back, GUNNY PEEGS?!?!?! am just ded 😍
I guess I've made it into two of your videos now. What's next? A battle report? You might have to teach me how to actually play with the things I've painted first though...
Those old Warhammer boxes are so much cooler looking than the modern drek.
You'll want to get the "game of armored combat" or beginner box to play battletech. If you like uno, try uno flip.
Have you tried Marvel Crisis Protocol yet? it's brilliantly balanced and the core set just might be the best value out there.
