I appreciate that you have been circling back to beginner videos a few years later - some of us are late to the party!

I've been part of the miniature gaming scene for 20+ years and you've provided one of the clearest and most conscise beginner videos I've seen. Kudos to you for your continuous championing of this amazing hobby. That Hoth Luke is amazing, gl to everyone entering the prize draw... but I really want to win so no-one else enter or I'll set my Probe Droid on you. :P Great stuff again Senior Crabby, you got another game for us soon? Love & light as always.

I got the clone wars starter box 2 years ago and haven't managed to do anything with it since annoyingly. Always good to have this type of video available for the people coming into the hobby who didn't start with Warhammer. 👍

I would have never thought about glueing pieces that are still on the sprue. That's really cool.

Great beginners guide to Legion miniatures. I already knew about most of this, having been doing miniatures for some time now, however I've been recently getting into Legion and your "What to buy first for..." were super helpful for me when I started Legion, I thank you for those and keep up the good work.

I started playing Legion a few weeks ago, and that is due to your channel. I was born in 77. Started watching early and started really understanding around 82. Love your channel very informative, keep posting and creating great content. Thank you for getting me into Legion as I am a HUGE FAN 😄👍

Awesome video! One thing you forgot to mention! When cutting pieces out of the sprue, I don’t butt the nippers right up to the piece. I leave like a cm or two of space. When you butt the nippers right to the plastic you can make stress marks. (Where the plastic changes color or shape)

The Hoth luke is so awesome, would love to have one, loving the videos as always, it can be a very daunting thing opening a big core box full of plastic sprue’s, when your new it can be really tough to know how to start so well done because with think it will really help people, hopefully the people that don’t already subscribe to you will be drawn to your channel because of videos like this, keep up the good work

Thanks for this one, I actually bought the first starter set and some add-ons a few year back, but sold everything without even playing one game due to lack of interest in my area. Now I signed up at a dutch Legion FB Group and finally know some places where to play. Difficult decision now is, will I go for the 2nd set or the 1st one. As a 50y old nerd, I think I still prefer the "old" trilogy timeframe.

I use an emery board/nail file to clean up mold lines. Can be easier (and less destructive) than using a knife. I then brush on hobby glue (like a tamiya glue that comes with a brush) over the top. It will melt and smooth the area (as filing may make the surface a bit rough). Then ready to paint over the top.

@durzod2052 2 жыл бұрын

For attaching hard plastic minis to the bases I've found that good old-fashioned Testor's tube cement works best. It's much thicker and provides a great bond, and unlike Super glue it's a permanent bond. Another thing I've been doing to attack minis to based is using the Vallejo (and other brands) texture paste. I put my layer of texture paste on the base (cleaning the edges) and then press the assembled mini into position. Once dried the paste holds the mini in place, though it's not as strong a bond. If the mini ppops off, just superglue it back in place. The key advantage of this is that it makes the mini look like it's a part of the base and not floating above the ground.
