Awesome. Maybe next time, you could do "Start warhammer with no talent" ? Like grab someone who has never do painting or craft and just guide them. Maybe you and Lucas each grab one "newbie" and guide them, unable to do anything yourself with your hand, but guiding them and see the results after a day or two. I feel it would be super cool and also be a video full of tricks and advice(even more than usual), a very condescend one.

that sounds like an awesome Idea! I'm always a bit skeptical about these "Beginner/Low-Budget Guides" since they are still being done by professionals with years of experience in painting/modeling miniatures, which kind of skews the results compared with something that a complete newbie would be capable of (still an awesome video btw).

While this is nice there is a much easier way? The recruit edition is discounted to like $35 or even less in most local stores and the paint starter set I got for $28 and that comes with clippers, a brush and a "mould line remover" (sort of, GW comon). This gets you 20 models, a guide booklet and 13 paints, including red, blue, yellow, black, white, metal and gold among others. This is enough for 2 people to be able to play so I'd say you only need around $30-$35 if you get into it with a friend or double if you try it out yourself. This is also a good price for like a Christmas or birthday present and is a very good entry point to the hobby without having to commit to anything. And the Primaris and Necron warriors are also quite beginner friendly to paint. Just priming a Necron with Leadbelcher and washing it with Eartshade make them look like a space terminator, bit of Glow on the guns and done, it's so easy any kid can do it.

That seems like a lot for a beginner to digest though. So many minis can become detrimental when you're suddenly faced with what seems like a LOT of figures to paint at once. I personally found just a couple of minis to paint when I started was easier than the 5 mini combat patrol I bought next as it suddenly became a daunting prospect painting it all! Each to their own though. I mainly do warhammer stuff for the hobby side rather than the game so I'm a bit biased.

@ageoflove1980 Жыл бұрын

@@Almindale Well yes usually that's certainly the case. But with these models you can just prime the space marines blue and the necrons metallic. Add a bit of gold detail on the Primaris and some glow on the Necrons and they already sort of look like they are supposed to. No heads or faces, no cloths, hair or banners etc.. You cant really mess these up. Every kid with average hand- eye coordination can get all these models look at least decent and playable within a couple of hours since you don't even need to glue these if you really don't want to.

@@Almindale Actually I'm a beginner too, well sort of. I did some Warhammer Fantasy 20 years ago and then left the hobby alone. Recently I was looking for something fun to do with my 14 year old son who spends a bit too much time on his gaming laptop and phone. He did have a bit of experience with putting together model fighter jets so I thought this would be fun to try and something he might enjoy. Now for kids that age its very important to have something that is both challenging but also doable, otherwise they will just lose interest because its just too much of a hassle. I was pleasantly surprised how relatively easy it was for him to build and paint these models from the starter set. He felt like he was doing really well and that made it all the more fun. I don't know if we have an interest in taking the hobby any further but I feel its already time and money well spent.

@looselycollected7505 Жыл бұрын

Don't get me wrong. These are beautiful. Especially considering the limited amount of stuff you used and the scrounging you did to get the supplies to finish them. But when you say getting started with Warhammer, I sort of expected that you guys would be building some very small starter armies to play. Maybe even having to strip and paint or repaint used figures bought at a discount. I'd like to see what you guys would do if you had to come up with a very basic beginning sized army. The bare minimum you'd need to play a game. And Try to do so as cheaply as possible. Then chronicle the various things you did to try to make it work. Maybe get a couple more friends to compete. So there are 4 or 5 people. That way we can see different thinking. It might be a good idea for a collaborative video. And of course you'd all have to basically start with nothing but a set amount of money. And you'd basically have a budget where you added a bit of money each week. And a month to gather it in.

Nice looking dioramas for the money spent but I do think most people starting out with Warhammer don't start with the idea 'I want to make dioramas' but instead 'I want to play a few matches'. If I would do this challenge I'd probably go: 1 box of Gloomspike Gitz grots (€ 28,89 from my retailer), some cheap brushes and rest of the money on paints. That way you have at least one troop to actually play with AND those grots actually are very usable to start a Warcry warband with some different troops: The boss, 2 or 3 netters, few stabbas and a few shootas.

Depends how you want to start though. I think the painting side of it is a pretty important introduction to the hobby and will let you know if you want to paint lots or not!

Btw you can recycle your old messed up paint brushes and turn them into sculpting tools. All you need is a straw, fill it with basic silicone caulk, and stick your dead brush in there and let it cure.. it's better to remove the fibers prior, but keeping some is handy for reinforcement like rebar in concrete. The tip you can either cut to shape after or prior to filling the straw you can shape it. Also clear tape + folded cardboard for flat bladed tools and you can mold existing silicone tools with some plaster of Paris and you got infinite tips for when they wear.

This definitely feels like more of a easy way to get into Warhammer for someone into crafts, dioramas or some other kind model making (like gunpla, military models or model trains). Because without that kind of experience beforehand I could see it being hard for a newcomer to know how to maximize this small pool of supplies and make something they’re happy with. Especially since most newcomers to the hobby won’t know that the hobby part is the thing they enjoy most yet. So I’d definitely recommend something a bit more well rounded for their first experience, like a Kill Team Squad or splitting the Recruit box and some supplies with a friend or family member.

@Almindale Жыл бұрын

Still seems like a lot of minis though. I started with a GW paint set and that was it, so only a chaos warrior and a 2nd ed marine. I think that was a good way to work out if I liked the hobby or not and I didn't feel overwhelmed.

@timmystwin Жыл бұрын

It's much better to just extend the budget a bit or use third party discounts. For £60 (gw prices) you can get the recruit edition starter set for 40k and the paint/tool set containing all the paints you need (might have to mix to get a few colours) a paint brush, clippers, and a mould line remover. And if you've got a pen knife lurking around they'll usually do as knives. That is a far, far better start as not only do you have all the tools, you have all the paints, and the rules to play your own little games at the end. But I guess isn't really a video...

Warhammer Underworlds box (2 warbands & rules), Vallejo Fantasy paint set (x16) plus the tools, glue and brushes mentioned above. That’s a broad and flexible base to build off, wargaming as you go.

A truly invaluable video for new hobbyists - and therefore, I'm guessing for quite a lot of the subscribers too! I avidly followed Squidmar for a year before buying my first hobby tools, and that was precisely the kind of advice I would have wanted more of before I splurged on hobby tools. Not knowing anything else, I ended up paying some 250 USD on my first order. I know there's already plenty of videos out there on the topic, but for s hesitant (and anxious) first buyer there can never be enough. Loved to see how easy it can be with this video, and wholly encourage everyone watching to just get started! And my tip: a few good acryllic paints, a really good medium sizef brush and a cheap syntethic medium size, is all you need for the painting part. Skip the contrast paints, shades and extra brushes for your first few minis!

Great video; the tricky part for many people would be that for 50 bucks, the choices you make are so much more important on what materials and what mini's to get. And if you're into crafts already (or usually paint mini's already) it's a bit easier. Seeing someone paint non-metallic metals with a limited pallette is a good show of skills, but that's not for someone who just wants to get into miniature painting most of the time. Both of you had a fairly good idea of the end result... and that's the tricky part on a limited budget; buying exactly what you need Also; it must be nice to have a decent hobby store in the area... if I can spend 50 on hobby, about 10 to 15% is already spent on transport or shipping fees.

This way you get 6 models (and some paints for them) which make a full Warcry warband. Perhaps not perfect but at least you can start playing.

Emil I couldn't help but notice that you use a painting handle to paint the orc, that wasn't part of your purchase. Neither was the latex-free glove you wore when you were spraying. And while you might have had the gloves lying around, I doubt someone new to the hobby of mini painting would have a mini painting handle laying around. not to mention the hobby mats etc.

Squarespace are very lucky to have you somehow pulling more and more creative ways to do their ads. It sounds silly but I think that the Monty Python reference might've been my favourite part of the episode :D

I've only used humbrol enamel paints, thick and not very smooth finish and you had to let it dry for at least a day between the coats or you would dissolve to lower layer. Haven't painted minis in almost 20 years now. And despite the struggle with my paints I did win a few painting competitions at the local "TV-spelsbörsen". Would be fun to try these more suitable paints instead.

I understand what everyone is saying. But this is basically how I got into it. I went to a comic book store and saw all kinds of minis and dioramas. I bought a few battle tech ones and made little set ups with legos etc, I thought they were the shit tbh. After awhile I got bored of them and went back to comic books. One day I go in and I see all the 40k and AoS stuff and I thought it was really cool. I talked the owner (mind you this guy did not know me personally he just knew I came in like once a week to get the new halo comic) and he said he had some old Warhammer dwarves in the back, he let me have them no questions asked. I went home put them bad boys together and the rest was history. Genuinely a lot hobby stores will give you random sprews for like 6-10$, sometimes even free. It’s a good way to get started imo. Just making little set ups and scenes with whatever minis you think are cool at the time.

For another go around, I would do something like starting a small army, or a warcry/kill team band from ebay/used aiming for getting the the best value. I think that is maybe a more realistic. On a side note, I spent a little over a year in Sweden, and your videos always make me miss it!

Emil used/ bought the wrong type of graffiti spray can :/ If you want to use graffiti spray cans, like Emil intended to with his Montana Black, then get some Montana Gold cans instead, covers really smooth and doesn't ruin any details. Costs about €5.5 per can (55 SEK). I use it myself and I have never had any issues with them, and they got a lot of colors to pick from so it can fit any army you're working on. I've also heard that Molotov Premium is pretty good for use on miniatures but I can't confirm since I haven't tried their cans myself yet.

I've used these a lot for FDM-printed stuff, like PLA houses etc. It does a great job filling small gaps and smoothing out printer errors. I guess its the right tool for the wrong job in this case :)

@@SquidmarMiniatures Yeah, it's great for that! Considering getting some just for that reason :) A comment high up on Marco Frisoni's video "How to (properly) use SPRAY CANS on miniatures!" explains the difference between brands and variations in brands. Why some act in one way and some in another way. Very useful info, and for cutting costs :)

This is about getting into the painting hobby for $50 and not warhammer, it seems like $75 could get you started without most of the issues. If instead of asking a shop for stuff they have and are never going to use, you asked a couple of friendly gamers, most would set you up with a bunch of models and some dupe or unfavoured paints.
