This week I stumbled upon a fantastic listing on FB Marketplace for this Warhammer army case, what was inside was absolutely epic, and the story behind it is one that I need to share.
Unfortunately, I've been pretty sick the last week or so, things are getting back to normal but I did want to get more of this army painted up. In due time though, and then there are the rest of the minis in the box! Super cool Harlequins and Bretonnians!

Cancer survivor here. This hobby and the community was a great support for me. They held a charity tournament and it was during Covid so I limited exposure but going to pick up hobby supplies and talking with the guys at the store was an awesome respite. The look of shock and horror on my oncologists face at my wet pallet when I was getting some chemo infusions was hilarious. But the painting helped me get through a tough time. Truly a cool nod of respect to Jeff. it’s awesome to see the respect and support this community gives.

It really hit me too, i lost my dad March last years, I wake up crying every other night :( Its really hard and painting models, not just warhammer, makes it so much easier because my father was a model enthusiast for most of his life and made WW2 models and fighter planes and hung the planes in my room when i was a boy and introduced me to models and Warhammer at a really young age. I'm even tearing up and crying just writing this comment. Casey did us bad this time BUT I love Casey and his heart and mind is always in the good place for us all :)

i like it when you take on projects like this, because it's a kindly gesture that goes a long way towards disproving the standard modern era tropes about how "all gamer guys are 'problematic' and are The Problem". Mind you, there's lots of guys in Warhammer circles who gladly uphold that stereotype, but that's not my point. Good show, Casey, and this is another reason I follow your channel; you coming off as a really down to earth and modest fellow.

Man, I bought 3 auctions last year for around $700 shipped halfway across the US. TONS of models. Hundreds of 40k and AoS models and hundreds more of other wargames I didn't know at the time. As I'm sorting all this stuff out ( it was literally just dumped in 3 plastic totes ), I uncovered a WARLORD TITAN (minus the head) with all the gun attachments. I was expecting to flip most of this stuff for a huge profit. I found a DVD in the bin with the titan. It was from a hospital(?) ( didn't know they did this?) and it had the previous owner's name on it. I watched it, and it had notes about his disease and a picture of him and his son. He was my age, within the month, according to the sticker on the DVD. His son was my daughter's age-ish based on the photo on the DVD, and that shit rocked me. I realized I got this amazing deal because a dude, my age, died and left his son (probably plenty others)with these mementos and nobody knew what they were. Some were reallly, really, lovingly painted. I tried to reach out but the auction house wouldn't help me in that. IDK what much the point of this is, but this shit still sits on me. Tyler, the warlord titan, now stands tall over my Salamanders, and I hope he does you justice.

That is a pretty big model. I would try finding a large tub to put him in with some concentrated degreaser and just let it sit for a week or so, covered so the degreaser doesn't evaporate. Try scrubbing it off and repeating. You can also use some isopropyl alcohol, that should cut through the primer pretty well, more expensive though. I would start there and see what happens, but it will probably come off :) Hope that helps

I noticed you have isopropyl around all the time but don’t use it. I’ve been asking around. How long would you leave black primed models in that solution?

@eBayMiniatureRescues 13 күн бұрын

Mostly it's for cleaning 3D prints after they come off the printer. Iso gets all the extra resin off of the minis before they go into the cure station. I also use it to clean my desks and airbrush stuff. For stripping it can be a little hit or miss. Sometimes it works perfectly and sometimes not so much. If iso doesn't work all the way, the degreaser usually does, and the other way around. As far as leaving models in iso, you can pretty much leave them in as long as you need to. Plastic won't get hurt, metal for sure won't. Resin can get soft though, so be careful how much you soak that stuff. Concentrated degreaser you can soak anything for as long as you want without any issues, or at least, none that I have noticed ever. Hope that helps :)
