Okay, well let's get underway, they might. So welcome back, everybody to the crown of command and of course, I'm joined here with my wonderful co-host all the way from Australia, Sydney, Australia. Its kind of XA going mate. Yeah, pretty good. How are you not too bad at all? It's a Sunday morning and we're just sitting back relaxing and enjoying a hobby time and we thought we would do something a little bit different.
This time. Usually we have and we, you know, always will do like a shout out to the community and what people are doing out there. And they're sort of hobby, hobby space and hobby land, wherever they have might be and around the world. But what we might do is more of a because I you know talk to you about it this week, more of a
visual thing. Let's let's record these in video and then post them up on my YouTube channel so people can actually see the stuff that people are doing rather than just us talking about it. So hopefully people will enjoy both the audio and visual Representations of of the stuff that we're talking about an hour shoutouts this time. So yeah. So guys when when this podcast goes out, there will be a video that's going to be uploaded with
a video of as talking about. It was going to be slightly edited in places, of course. But that way, if you just want to have a look at the at the pictures and all the eye candy, we can do it at my YouTube channel, which is a link in the show notes Below in this podcast, wherever you Wherever you're wherever your podcast. Host is you'll see a disk like the show description and all the links will be down there to
access the YouTube channel. If you weren't aware that there is one for the crown of command, but without further Ado, mate, let's begin with Discord. And you want to shout some shouts and people out on our every lead painting section hemming. Yeah. So first up, just looking at one casting flattened one casting by scales. Probably one of Few Warhammer fantasy characters that I actually know because of reading by doors, classic indeed are really like that.
Yeah. Especially the great details. Anything, I could get the tiny little teeth and the eyes. There's no way I could do that very good. It's gonna take like the probably outstanding part of that paint job, which is really hard to get is the effect of having on his on his nonmetallic blade there. He's got like little edges. It's See, I've been there and that you got to highlight the edges and yeah, doing that is really difficult so I think that's a really excellent job.
He's done all that fantastic to scroll up to the Phoenicians. So this is one of two photos. That's, I guess like a leader. But he's done these cinch nights and the standout for me is just like the crazy amount of detail like on The Firs and stuff like that. It really sort of melds together. Well, I don't know what addition they are or any of that sort of stuff and if then widen or New or Old or a mix, but they look fantastic.
The back shots, just so amazing. Yeah, I love all that sort of stuff makes mixtures of Furs and things. It's crazy. And the leader, the leader that he painted, which is the picture below that. It's got some stunning details on the horse. It's got like a Cthulhu technical mouth and like this castable like I know, it's barding or flesh. You know, well often with these cows horses and they're just a conglomerate of everything who knows if they're even remotely a horse anymore. Yeah.
Just crazy. It's really good. Yeah. I like the tiger stripes and I think the yeah and your overall I know that this is Jimmy from the old world lives podcast. If people don't know who the Phoenicians is, that's Jimmy from the podcast are in Sweden and I know he's like a mad converter. And pay to he loves all that kind of aspect of the Hobby and he's always doing stuff for more than hi. I'm so, or more time I should say.
And now, he's doing something for Fantasy battles because he's a, obviously, an avid 6th edition player, but he's also wanting to try some of the Early Edition. So I think this will be part of a unit that is using for his fourth additional fifth edition battles. I think with his brother. It's a quite sick. Yeah. Her and painting obviously showing off more completed spacewalks. Never get tired of seeing these just those crazy happening on
the legs and sleeves and stuff. Like great, attention to detail, perfect painting, you know, tinted 10. Fuckin oh look at that thing, it's amazing. Yeah, now they're amazing, they're really good, great source of inspiration, especially for me as I'm, you know, making my way. Way through my talks and painting them bit by bit. So it's really nice to see these beautiful bad moons and freebooters and all that kind of thing. Pop up from Highland painting.
We're going to give them a bit of a have a look at his Instagram, maybe a bit later as well. But yeah, fantastic work. On these and I was having a look at beaky's hobgoblin card. Mmm. Yeah, yeah. Now that foot is a, is it fuzzle? The person who's designing these? They're like, it's really pretty. Okay. I think it's I think his user name or his online besides else.
Yeah, something like that. Sorry if I'm wrong but you know he's he's doing all these designs himself in 3D and then people are able to print them out to use as cows dwarves or hobgoblins. Coughs really nice scale. Work here with the red. Now I think this is Andreas be key, so he's done a really nice work. Just making those really nice subtle highlights on each of those scales. Just a little bit. Yeah, that'd make me go cross-eyed doing that.
But yes, you can see these 3D designs are really nicely crisp prints. When you do print them out, depending what printer? Don't get me started on printers of that know, anything about the other ask myself about Those because I don't know anything about them. So the higher the printed, the higher, the greater printed the higher the print I guess that's right now pack us did. He's got those Talon Rough Riders. Hmm not those horrible new Scopes that Games Workshop is
made. Yeah these are fantastic. Hardly ever see Rough Riders let alone how on Earth Riders so well done man. Look at them crazy yeah. Whether or not they're even effective in game. That's another thing that thematic wise. And, you know, I feel a bit of points up.
Fantastic. So are these conversions like as in all models and they've been cut, just a heads, being cut off and replaced on the bodies or what her know about that because I think they might have released its Helen Roughrider, right. But there's probably a few bits and pieces glued onto them there. So I'd say some of its conversion Yeah. Don't I think there are Talent arthritis because the original Rough Riders were those are chilling. Guys, if the huge big like
Genghis, Khan himself. Yeah, they're awesome, but I'm pretty sure that's how I'm got some Rough Riders and don't forget the original Imperial Guard, Rogue. He later tried Euro ones. Who would just basically, like, Proto kbands. You know, let's all sing too. Okay, there you go. Very well done. Now, someone who Really sort of stepped up to the plate because of my whinging is Fortis. So all of the next sort of these photos are by 4. So he's got epic rice.
A lot of These are 3D printed as well. Yeah, so just goes to show you, you know, the technology just isn't there mate. You know the amount of people who just don't think 3D printing is there? I just moronic like the the eight Ate Kale like eight. Sorry a case kale and carrots. And a lot better though. I like that name a perilous Journey that would put that in the oven. Yeah, yeah, okay scale 3D
printing is nuts. But the the really outrageous part of this is that this is epic scale and he's so much detail on them. It's just going. So very, very good painter. He's also God The scaled-down battlefleet gothic ships, so you can cram more ships on a tabletop sort of thing, and, you know, beautiful basis. Obviously, you know, hit that with an airbrush and get a masking tape and stuff. Do some Cosmic scenes, but,
yeah, it's a cool concept. I've never played with that sort of scale down BFG, but I've heard about it to get more ships on the, on the now, right? Yeah, yeah. So, something muscle actually mentioned to me first very, very cool. But he's also done, things like chaos, wolves BattleTech Warhammer, like fantasy stuff, just just outrageous. So, definitely popping the. Every LED painting section and have a slope brows of all of your stuff which is really cool. How stores are painted
excellently, obviously. Yeah, so there's more of these Fazil that we got fat. Brazil fabric, that builds all right. Coughs, coughs, coughs, coughs, coughs. Okay, nice but yeah, really good, really good work on these two so evil. Purplish Lee countries purple skin. Yeah yeah, great basis. Great phonetic. You started the nice. I like the purple skin tones and that kind of thing but it yeah shows off the sculpt and the And
how good they are. Because as we all know, cast wolves fourth edition castles, I just, you know, like just out of people's Financial reach to get to acquire them. And then how many years will it take to actually get at a proper Army together. Having bought up, small army, lots and that kind of thing. So this is a great way to get cows towards back onto your hero. Hammer tables. Yeah 3D printing just makes this old Hammer stuff more accessible especially if you And stuff like
as and guns. Which absolute flogs on eBay are selling for like, you know, 60 USD for a blister of or carms you go stuff yourself. You know you get that stuff printed on Cults, 3-D or thingiverse or whatever. There's multiple different people who have made alternate or carms for your old metal Orcs And and Space Marines, and all that stuff. So, yeah, a lot of a lot of cool stuff here. Whisking Is he did an imperial assassin, salt and Demon, this sculpt sort of struck fear into
most people's hearts. This was the absolute bastard that existed before modern assassins came out. He had usually appear next to your troops due to the polymorph in card because he could take three will get cards. And then he just loved a Vortex Grenadier. You Commander, you know? Well, Done game over like yes, very, very pretty model. He's done at Justice. Hmm. I know been wishing Wizards been, he said, he had like his own frustrations painting.
The thing I wouldn't even bother attempting. It very nice. Yep. Always been does a fantastic, fantastic job. And I think this is for a commission I believe I'll demon or I don't know old it. Sorry. If it's a fox, right? You mentioned that before I apologize. If it's the old and demon that says, I think this is for somebody else but he's entering it on. Anything you don't like well somehow. Others will end up with. Yeah yeah how it's going to jump to the modeling Workshop into
the next section? I jump around a bit it's just how I did. So yeah I just wanted to point out here. Either malstrom is a bit of a like a balsa wood and cardboard wizard. So showed off this sort of instruction heart. He's also posted up like some completed. Stuff like a building and a modular river, which you'll see up there with. That's pretty cool. That reminds me of the old, you know, using bits of cardboard and putty and stuff like that. You can and you know in a
fantasy game. You pretty much just had to like an annoying River, some hills and maybe a heart if you are lucky. That was pretty much. It reminds me, I need to finish off my my River tutorial. It's it's almost done. I just need to finish off something. Start painting the actual sections, but it's very similar to what what he's done here. I made mine out of like thick card as well that it's like a
high density foam. And so you don't need MDF, because MDF is really hard to Carton and to shape into things like this if you want to know a certain Arrangement. So but obviously it's the most durable material but yea thick card is a great way of getting And around that. And as long as you can stop it from warping, then you're right? You can make nice Rivers. Yes, 022 things that have come up recently in the modeling section. A Lot are two different types of fences, right?
So, One for Fantasy, being the sandbag or stone walls, which hummin Deca, he's showed off. He's doing some of that. Very, very nice. You know, I like it and then also you've got a whole bunch of people like clam and odd gets hot or Ted showing off their different train so Clem. He's got the classic sort of wheat Fields made on a card. Sorry carpet. And then the Old flocked hedgerows, and that sort of stuff. And then Ted showing off chain link, fence, and barrels and
crates. Now, Clem also showed off some mesh fences that he did years ago, hmm, as well as a cute little lizard man Temple. He made when he was like a wee lad. But look at, look at the weathering on. Yeah. Ted's chain-link fence. So you can buy that chain-link material like online from Hobby sauce and stuff, right? And then just use, yeah, some some polls or Chopsticks or whatever. Amazing material. He even put in a little one-man gate, which is so cute.
Yeah, tiny little details, perfect. I have to find that right? Because we can see that you can see the building process for a lot of these other projects as Well, it's not like just a finished, so finished article, you can see the people, you know, things and giving the work-in-progress shots, which is important as well. Looks like something that I have to walk through it work. Yeah. Maybe in the same one, maybe you don't actually go to work. Maybe it's just a dream in your
intestinal top but you're right. It's like the guys put put in there like sort of steps and progress shots which is fantastic. And if you ever I need to ask a question about how to build something, or do something just ask in these channels because think the guys will eventually get around to responding to, and, you know, that genuinely looks like metal, but it's must again, it's been painted and weathered. It's great. Excellent work, because great, guys.
Yeah, very good. and I'll just gonna Yeah, skip to the Warhammer 40K. Seconded bit on there? Yeah. Now Chris Chris told me last night when I was chatting to him, that he's trying some easy and it's this thick Guardians. Yeah, excellent. Cheesy. Good painter. Yeah, it's just kick that off and he's debating on whether or not to put a symbol on the forehead. You know, one of those will Elder one, that's normally something, it probably means something really insulting.
An elder, good work, man. But I think, yeah, I'd probably put like, a little symbol on there. But yeah, check out Tower of skulls is showing off the east space fools and and Orcs. And yeah. Cheesy a really nice man. I specially like the Orcs that he's painting. The, I can bad memes colors, very chunky. And you can see one of the at least one of the sculpts in his Orcs nightmare Miniatures that guy. Back. Yes, he died in the fall. Is the foreground one as well?
I think the one in the middle. Yeah. I think you're right. I can't, I there's so many of them and they look how they fit in with Naz drag. Yeah, dude. Well they fit in. Yep, it great. Yeah, exactly. It's Alternatives not me. Micha's. Go and check them out. Yep. Not that was granted by Diego but we love to be but yeah, it's great guy and he doesn't really Full stuff. So we need. We're going to feature more of his, his upcoming, kickstarter's.
I think there's one that he's doing there for ogres. I believe coming up soon, or trolls or something like that. Yeah. So he's always doing something, something old Hammer related. So, yeah, cool. And when we scroll up, Yeah. Obviously I had to battle on Friday night so we can't do all that success. Turn into our squats was a bit messy. Yeah. So you're he's been doing a quite a few Miniatures and he did an extra armed Squad.
Hmm you don't see these often know so it's pretty cool to see that you were killing a few of those before in your last. Yeah. I blew one up. He was on a track, unfortunate accident. Yeah Micah that's That's awesome. Really. Enjoy that a lot night. Yeah. So speaking of secured, if you have a look at Captain crayon, he's been doing some harlequins that that's another type of model. I'd never attempt to paint too hard, too much detail.
I saw someone was suggesting instead of just a normal flocked base, you can get these printable bases that have Deck of cards sort of like, you know, hearts and and something like that on the basis. That would be really a little let me, because the Harlequin Army is kind of like a deck of cards, you got, you know, Solitaire and stuff like that. So, yeah, it's interesting. But yeah, very cool. Good work. Captain crayon, awesome.
If we jump over to the Warhammer fantasy section shirt again, has been working on his rat. He's he's done like a character. He's done. Some normal skaven. He's also done some of those plague ones that plague rats. Okay, the plague monks. Yeah. And I think, yeah, if we scroll up a little bit, you can see, JT posted a few like, battle picks as well that he had Infinity, there's one over. Yeah it's like a Hydra or something flaming unit that's hilarious.
Things playing fourth edition which is great. It's my classic all-time favorite edition but boy. Oh boy, I'd hate I Hope you had some spills to kill it. Kill that Bloody Hydra with because it would be just wrecking him wrecking, that, or Goblin players day if that thing got loose. But I think it did actually, I think he's giant ended up like in combat with it or something. From what I was reading that. Yay check it out. That's pretty funny. But this is what happens if you
don't kill the Hydra in time. It's just going to just engulfed in flames and your poor little goblins will be a shriveled and fried. I'd and eating for breakfast, or dinner or lunch. So there. Yeah, awesome. I don't know that. I'd really love to see people play fourth edition, so please keep those fourth edition picks coming at sets. It's very heartwarming. Yep, please upload them wherever you can. Now in the war Master section, you've got a few bits and pieces in here.
So, on the lam, that's a 2,000 points of lizard, men, beautifully painted. All right. I know, you know fan, I love Them. Yeah, look at that. See them? Which is great. So those are those buggers and identify them they're just like specks of color, specks of blue and orange and Relic great and then Marcel's also got an in big Imperial force that is pain and up. Scroll up there. Yeah, that's pretty cool. Mmm, same tank. Yeah dude on a flying chicken horse. Yeah, look at the data.
That's yeah, yeah, very nice and some cannons. I think very cool. Hmm. So you have Island. Yeah. So he's ready to play. He's got some yeah, some other units in their lives and how it is. Yep, very cool. Yeah. That was pretty much like the the highlights that I was going to go across cool. Alright. Other thing I wanted to mention was like in the YouTubers Community section Shannon use that as sort of like a Nexus Hub to dump the idiots in from YouTubers that you like.
That's, that's what I try to do. And if you're a content creator, also, make sure you dump your videos and they don't rely on me to do it. But anyone who see something old Hammer that they think is cool, Chuck it in there and people want to see this stuff, it just sort of you can't rely on you. Tube you, send you your subscriptions and things. It's so broken and rubbish. So yeah. If you want people to have a look at something, Chuck it in there, people like Ed from minisodes.
He says me hanging out content lately and it's just so good and you know obviously yourself the amount of videos coming out recently. It's it's really great to see. Yeah, I'm really happy because he really is now you know, he's latest video got like 10,000 views so far. Which is amazing so he's really is really is you know, he's channels, you know, just going to Skyrocket now. So that's excellent cuz he's put a lot of work into those videos.
A lot more way, more way more time and effort than I ever do in my videos. Mine are just sort of, you know, here it is. This is what it is. It's not going to be, you know, edited like is actually that it's very rural. But these got these, these guys, you know, they're doing some really excellent work out there and making very professional videos content, so they should be Corded. And they should be, you know, light and subscribe and share it around a lot more.
So yeah, just say, I Johnny Watson gaming and I'm always bored, never boring. Yeah, it's got some turnout stuff, really great stuff. And yeah, it always board never boring. He's covering stuff that a lot of people won't touch like, you know, space Crusade and then turn it back and it's like that. So yeah, check him out, man. And old hammered. There's that's the that's some yeah Terry that's who I'll be interviewing in our podcast
today. Really really nice guy from the states and I'm really happy for him because again he did a he did the tiered attack unboxing and when I first saw it it went to 17,000 K views. And I congratulated him in an email and when I went to interview, MIT went to like seventy seventy thousand so he just went off the charts.
Need either. He doesn't know why but it's for some reason that grabbed a lot of traction on YouTube and I'm really happy for him because yeah, it means he's getting recognition for his his efforts and hard work. He puts into making those really high quality videos with he and his partner who do that. So really get to see.
So if you're up yeah like kind of except if you're a Creator or if you want to be a Creator and start sharing your content, this is a great channel to post it up and find other people's stuff. Other people's work. Are we go is tear into the attack. So go check that. I really, really interested in this one. And and Guy, some dice Hammer, if you guys are listening to this, really enjoy your videos on seconded from Germany. So yeah, it's more of a worldwide thing.
Not just in America, not just in the UK but other people from different countries, making their own videos and bringing their own flavor, which is awesome. Yeah, good, right guys. All right. Okay. Well, so I think that will now finish up our coverage. Of and thanks kind of picks for a coverage of Discord will just have a look. Now at some Shadows I want to give to people in our in our other communities. So we're going to have a look here, I'm going to start with Instagram.
And now, I've actually made a lot of connections on Instagram with various different painters and hobbyists, and I want to give a few people. A bit of a shout out. We'll start with wraith wisp now, wraith Wisp. Who is doing these wonderful old hammer style, paint jobs on these really old models and they look absolutely wonderful. I need to put this sort of dark, you know, backgrounds in on, which gives it more of an atmospheric feel to them.
And it is still essentially, it's all those really nice colors, dark deep colors, he puts on these Miniatures and, you know, bike. He always comments in my my photos and stuff when I post them up and my style is obviously Completely different. It's a completely different in contrast to what he does but he appreciates the old style of here, a hammer, the red error. And I really appreciate this kind of really old hammer style as well because it's, it's very
evocative of the time period. So he does some really good work and dreams, and sell and sell era 40 cases. So, and pray that I love it weather. Yeah. So, the weather is great and puts a little work in these bases and he does some work in progress shots here. So you can see and video sometime. So, yeah.
If you're looking for Content, there's a lot there's a lot of stuff on Instagram, that really surprised me actually how many people, how many creators are out there doing their own thing and showing off their work on Instagram. So it's really good to see. So rate with, I hope you are keep supplying us with more old Hammer content or I enjoy that.
Now the next person I want to highlight is Gobo Gobo, hey, which is a great user name and he also entered the old and Demon with this entry here, which I didn't realize, but it was inspired by my 1998 entry for Golden demon which was a goblin writing a Squig. And he mentioned me in here to say that he really liked that conversion when he saw it and he said, he said, I'm going to try to do the same thing.
But I really like his idea better, because he's actually using a night Goblin writing gobbler, which is awesome. And it's just a great idea. Great Concepts conception and well concept and its final realization looks even better. Now that it's painted and he's entered now old and Demon. I wish him all the best of luck and hopefully he will come or way if not the winner, then definitely with some kind of recognition for his his idea of and, and Execution, really nice
games. Got some other wonderful staff here, really great benefit. This black org unit really like that a lot. So yeah, really good stuff. So yeah, I don't think Instagrams, all about boobs and, you know, people doing silly stuff or cooking steaks or whatever. There's also a lot of old Hammer stuff here as well. Looking states on the Rocks, - yeah, cook cooking, steaks are rocks that. Come on a lot. I don't know why. By now, this is Highland painting a course with some
excellent. Excellent examples of really beautiful painting, beautiful basing. And yeah modern techniques in with a bit of the old sort of style techniques throwing there as well. So yeah, really, really liked a lot of what island paintings doing and rightly. So he's getting noticed and getting a lot of people really inspired by what he's doing, especially with these Orcs and stuff so great work as we sort of seen before. So I won't, I won't go over that
again. Now the person I want to share Shout out to, I think it's Giovanni is his name. But there's gol cart Barney. I mean, your Carney amazing. Amazing. I can't, you know, elaborate enough. How good these these spacewalks he's doing just incredible. The Banners are just wow.
You know, like, you know, I like to think of myself as someone who likes to banners and does a fairly good job, but this guy is doing some really crisp banners, you know, where you can't see a brush stroke or You know that they just beautifully done Beauty. So smooth and the painting on the flesh tones and all the different color Hues, the users on the skins of the Orcs and everything about the whole execution of these are just perfect.
So yeah, just amazing and if you want inspiration, if you're doing spacewalks come to this guy's Instagram page and please check him out and yet please follow him because he's doing really good stuff. Look at these Gretchen awesome. Some Traders. Yeah, it's a challenge to work out. What's actually on his Banner. Yeah. Looks like a gorilla Fist and a blood, Angel helmet. And everyone has a different interpretation. Yeah, this is, this is the one of the highlights for me. This one here.
I don't really add five more. That is the best eyeball ever ever made. And the, and the champion writing it. Is also stocking looking model. Yeah. So just just great. Just fantastic. So be inspired guys. Go. And check out Instagram. Check out these artists. Yeah. Follow them and comment and show them encouragement. So the keep going is the original brainy dog? Brandy dog. Didn't mention the Brandy dog, this terilyn. I So yeah, this is branded
analysis. This is your sparring partner down to Sydney. Isn't it me? Yeah, usually keeps, my husband is Ella. Well, hopefully, he became your butt with his face walls, and they're so beautiful. Yeah, awesome. They just tremendous. Yeah. He I think it takes him a long time to do his work but they are just absolutely stunning when they're finished. The hardest part is he has a full-time job and yeah and yeah.
Chips away. At what is doing so it's it's pretty crazy so he needs a lot more, a lot more credit for some of the stuff he's doing now. He's doing the old, sorry, the old and Hammer as well. Yeah, one of your managers me. Yeah. Yeah. He had a lichter that it was just missing a bit. So I just gave him a whole lichter.
It's funny. He found all these sort of, like, mold damages and stuff like that and I think a lot of the Lichter models that there's not terrible sculpting so he's been painting it and fixing errors like in the casting and all this sort of stuff. I had an original inbox when I gave him and yeah that the things you pick up when you're painting the model and must be so frustrating. Hmm. And just one thing to point out, you seen the shoulder pad here on this, this will fear?
No, comment fucking out. Let me know primer. Now now Brandi dogs, a little bit unique Maybe to a lot of us. And then the hobby, he doesn't actually Prime any of these models, he just paint straight over the middle. Now, I've seen this done before, back in the 90s, some guy walked into our store at Oxford Street and he started his painting over a model. He just took out the blister.
We thought he was nuts, but obviously Brandy dog is also in the same boat of, maybe it's a new movement out there. I don't know. But please, please seal your Miniatures, if you're going to do this because the paint will just literally flake off and chip off at a At a touch. So you need to really look after your models. If you're going to do that way, but it gets beautiful results. What can I say? You know, his results in a stand for themselves. So yeah, obviously it works for
him. Anyhow, guys are that's Instagram. Hope you enjoyed that now over to our Facebook group, just very quickly with at Ted Gunderson, these finishes backdrop, which thanks Ted it was inspired by my video so I'm really happy that's helping people with their backdrops painted backdrops. And, you know, don't be, don't be too intimidated by it. I mean people should just try it and have fun and and, you know, I'm no expert at it at all.
I just enjoy doing them because they're just a fun part of the hobby that's relates to this, this error in, in white dwarves and battle reports because they always use these hand painted backdrops and they would use that as a backdrop to showcase the models or the battle scenes or and end the battle reports and that kind of thing. So well, Ted that looks amazing. David Rod as well as been hard at work on his Dogs of War army
as well. So doing a really fine work there on his units and he's got some bug leans towards he's done as well. So yeah, it's having a great time doing that which is fantastic. So good to see their David working hard mate, who asked we can be highlight here, but Ed's video now for the tyranids second edition Tara did, so we have a lot of different mixed Content here. Some video though guys were going to leave it here. Thank you very much.

And now I discovered you through your YouTube channel, now, the old hammered YouTube channel.
So that's sort of catered to a lot of these older games that we're sort of interested in as well. Like, how did this all start up for you mate? Well, you know, I think you're really the expert on this stuff. I'm I would not count myself as an old hammered expert, other than that is the time that I got started in the hobby. So I was a done. Engine dragons player, back in the late 70s, and we were playing a lot of TSR games, you know, Boot Hill, D&D top secret stuff like that.
And one of the games we played was a tabletop game called swords and spells by Gary gygax and another fellow. I can't remember his name but it's kind of a rank and flank type game that you we use sort of in conjunction Dungeons and Dragons. And so we were kind of into that but then in the 80s and the late 80s My guys around town started getting into war hammer. There was a local comic shop in Fairbanks and started carrying the product and the so.
Yeah, they would. It was, but it was a primitive sort of Warhammer. It's basically half a dozen guys would show up with a handful models on a Sunday afternoon and we would make up some sort of scenario with a very loose grasp of the rules which were at the greatest anyway. Right there a little bit. What's the word I'm looking for? Their heart was in the right place. And the story, The World building was great and all of the fluff and you know, the artwork and everything, the
rules themselves, you know. So it was basically just people would argue and whoever argued the loudest, that's how the rules were interpreted but we would play with five whoever showed up, you know bring whatever yelled are pirates, your Orc in the middle buggy, you know you're handful of you know the old Rogue Trader, B Keys, the plastic ones and just play it that way and that had such an impact on me.
I enjoyed that so much and I saw a meme a couple of weeks ago not to quote a meme but it talked about old video games. If it says, it's not that the game is that great. It's how you felt about it when you were playing it and that's what kind of gets burned into your brain. And so and then, second edition blood Bowl came out. And I got a copy of that, we play that whole bunch. And then, you know, then I went off.
I got a job, I left home. I threw a lot of my stuff in the dumpster because they only had so much room in the truck. I take things with me and so a lot of my old games like divine, right? And Empire, the pedal throne and things like that got tossed. This was our worst hundreds of dollars now, but I kept my copy of blood Bowl second edition and I kept my old be keys and I kept my old work Dreadnought and all
that stuff. And I always figured I'd get back into it some day and then, you know, Life happens. But at some point you kind of reach a stage where it's like well I'd like to do that I like to dig that stuff out again and just play around a little bit and also I was really sort of digging some of the things that were happening on YouTube with the hobby, you know, wil Wheaton's tabletop.
I don't remember that you or, you know, many wargaming and it's like, yeah, I like I like watching the games being played, I like being able to participate that way. And so when I kind of started thinking Around with YouTube and various camera configurations, and we converted a room in the basement to a game room, a little studio, and started playing some sort of obscure indie games. And that's because I'm stubborn C. So I wouldn't do the games that everybody wanted to watch.
I do this really obscure out of print stuff. And we did get a following, but it was pretty small. And so it's some point. You just have to decide. Well, is there anything that we can do this? That we would like to do that. We can do that seems to resonate with an audience and that's kind of where we landed. So the channel used to be called Skirmish war games and we just kind of did everything. People would say we're all over
the place. Yeah, we are all over the place but I think over the last 18 months or so we've kind of drilled down and and sort of listen to the audience and started doing some things that people are resonating with or resonating with the viewers and that's kind of where we're at. So it's just it's a A creative Endeavor and I love it self indulgent but I kind of enjoy it, I guess.
Yeah. And I really love a lot of your videos and congratulations again because I think it's been a week ago or something, two weeks ago that I congratulated on seventeen thousand views for your tears, attack old happening, I think 70,000. It's now 77,000 might. That's right. So YouTube as you know, Josh can I call you Josh? Is that okay? Yeah, of course. Absolutely.
It's a Fickle beast and it amazes me looking at the other YouTubers, and there's some great YouTubers out there and then there's some other people that are I'll just say they're manipulative, you know, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. If people watch the content and they enjoy it, but they're not really contributing anything cost if I don't think. And that's, that's fine, you know, there's a place for that but it's weird.
What gets the Clicks in the views and so a lot of our stuff that I think we put a lot of effort and a lot of the battle. Arts and things like that from some indie games that are pretty darn good. Don't get a lot of views. They kind of have a slow burn. They'll get views consistently over a long period of time but then we just had a couple of unboxings that turn it attack at 70,000.
We did a unboxing up some Russian stuff two years ago, I think 10 a log, you know, some Warhammer knockoffs from Russia that got about 60,000 views and then fall out waste on warfare. We did the gas station, train kit. And those were our biggest one so it's like it's there's no Rhyme or Reason to it the stuff you put the most energy and does not necessarily equate into viewership.
Not all. I know the views shouldn't be the primary focus when you know as as YouTubers as creators and we're doing this because we love doing it and we want to you know, but it's gives you a little bit of satisfaction. Are you get a little feedback positive feedback and it keeps you going, right? We need an encore. Now, 14 Attack gameplay video. Ooh, yeah.
We you know we're yeah we get a lot of that when we, you know, we used to just do a lot of battle reports and we put a lot of energy into that and it just didn't get us anywhere. We had a real good cult following of people who really enjoyed that. But we have to balance that out now because you could put 50 hours into producing a battle report and maybe get 1500 views. Yeah. And so you, then you need to balance. Dance it out with just for your sanity.
You know, there's some other things we can do that are quality that are interesting that people are going to, you know, relate to that don't cause as much, you know, brain damage. So it's sort of a, it's sort of a struggle right now, to balance it out, to do the stuff. We'd really like to do that is labor intensive and also balance it out with some stuff that's quicker that gets more views. So I'm sure there's a magic
formula in there somewhere. I'm sure there is made and you know, you know, I really enjoy watching your videos because of those you know, those old classic GW games and the end. Yeah. Production values and the way you care for these old games and you know, your way you want to present it and give it as much love and attention as possible. And I think that's really respected and enjoyed by lot of your viewership. Especially the old old, have a
rhino, armored assault vehicle from. 1988 is classic old Rhino, which is such a great iconic model. And, you know, things like that sort of, you know, sort of Inhaling back to the good old days that we would find, you know. Okay. Can I throw something in school? One of the things that's kind of sort of an undercurrent of the channel is that we have a lot of my own models that I'm slowly working my way through. But I am a slow painter guy. Takes me about eight hours to do
one model from start to finish. That's kind of the place I go at, but we we buy a lot of collections that are in disrepair. We buy a lot of things that people are done with or we finding. Now a lot of not only Praises lightly, The original owners have either they're through with their models or they have passed away. So we have picked up a couple of collections where we buy it and then instant Dusty cases and we ask the seller. You know where did you come by
this? Oh I got this at an estate sale or my buddy died. He left this to me or, you know, something else. And so in a lot of cases, what we're trying to do is take some of this old artwork. Basically, these old metal sculpts that someone has put a lot of time into get them fixed up. If they need to be fixed if there's chips or broken pieces or if they need to be based or whatever and get them on the table top so that everybody can enjoy them.
I mean, I don't even know who these people are. I don't know. The original source of a lot of this stuff, but I kind of feel like if we can kind of lovingly, restore it, and get it back on the table and a video or two, then everybody gets to enjoy it. And in some way the person's Artistry there, do you know the craft that they put into their hobby lives on a little bit and who knows? How long digital Antennas going to survive, but it might outlive all of us. I don't know.
But that, this one thing we like to do is get the artwork back on the table if we can. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. Level the Outlook and especially the, the old catalog YouTube, you reviewed. Yeah. That's the very first catalogue of a I ever saw pains workshop and got me into the hobby, basically.
And I just love going through that because it just brought back so many good memories, and I think that's what people why people come to your channels, that, you know, you're invoking, the group great memories, they had, when they They first got into the hobby. Well, hit him right in the feels right? Yeah, that's it. No, I really love that because I, of course I don't have that
catalog now. I mean, I don't know where it went pretty in the bin, you know, years and years and years ago, but I would love to have that again, but just looking at that as a video, you know, just thought, you know, display back straight back to when I was 17. When I first got there and I was from Games, Workshop in a self-addressed, self-addressed
envelope. After getting here request, and that set me on this massive journey into games, which are going and painting and That kind of thing was such a great, you know, Voyage. So have you, have you been playing all the way through or did you, do you have a gap in your hobby? Life?
I really have a big gap. It was kind of, like, I got to the end of, was it 98 or 99 1999, and I sort of just gave up on games worship because it will just changing too much to dislike and I just didn't really enjoy what they are producing then and And I've got into other things and I sort of kept on painting, but it just wasn't I wasn't gaming as much then, but it's only until what three years ago now when I feel really started crying a commander, I really got back into getting all
those opens like yourself and, you know, picking up all those games that I love. Because it was like, you say, you know, it wasn't really the rules that made the game's great. It was just how you felt about it at that time. And and sure enough, yeah I think the rules. Yeah, okay. They're a bit wonky and in places, but you sort of make you get sort of, you know, sort of iron them out and get through it and better, wait for the for the Miniatures.
And for the, you know, the times you have with playing with your friends and laughing about things. When you take gum, you know why? I think it's a little different in your case. You're able to feel these enormous model is your excuse me, you're able to feel these enormous armies, and you are a world-class painter. So the Army's look terrific and you have a love of the rules. So if you really have the rules kind of down, you can sort of
navigate them I struggled with. I mean, I bought Third Edition, we're Hammer fantasy and Roman chaos and I sort of struggled figuring it out, you know, so it never and plus the quantity of models necessary and the size of the table and then you got to find counterparts who also have armies to play that. There's a there's a lot of investment in that not only in money, but in just time to To figure it out and, you know, get
everything on the table. And so I think I think if you look at the channel or just where we're at these days, is we like the old models? I'm I have nothing against the new models. Mmm. I don't really want to buy them and I don't I don't like that. We bought a kit of, I think the necromancy enforcers, you know, the, the nikamoda cops and I open up the box. I pull it out. It was like a million little plastic parts and decide that. Like no. No, I'm not doing that. I'm not doing that.
Same thing with some rulebooks. Now, somebody says, hey, check out this rule book and it's 400 pages and its small type and, you know, it's a tightly bound book. You can't really crack it, open very wide. It's like no, I'm not. I'm not doing that. I it's too much like work. It's too much like, you know, learning a new language or something. I just can't do it at the stage of my life. My brain issues, bungee. So we really like getting the older models. We like using them in small
quantities. Because that's what we have and there's a lot of interesting rule sets that it doesn't matter what models you're using now, and the rule sets can be real Breezy, 32 Pages, 64 Pages, maybe 16 pages and that's a lot of fun. You can absorb it, you can play it if there's pieces. You like you can sort of Tuck those way for later and steal them for house.
Rule that Yeah, it's getting old models on the table, and maybe with some fresh rules that are a little more sporty and just having a ball, you know, trying to trying to have some fun weekend. It's nice that used to be incorporating the old models, but in like you say, well, these Indie Games, you giving them a good shout and giving them a good girl. But then using sort of the old, you know, middle Hammer old Hammer models, right?
But in the sort of these what they call miniature Take type games where you just get you collection of figures and throw them on the table in the way. You go kind of thing so that's pretty cool. Yeah. Our local game store. We have they let us come in on Tuesday nights for a miniature agnostic games. And it's nice of them because they don't make any money on
that. I mean, they make their money on Warhammer and Star Wars Legion and Magic the Gathering and dungeon dragons and stuff like that so they don't make any money off these indie games. They let us come in but they they screw up the name, it's supposed to be Miniatures. Agnostic. Game night but they have agnostic miniature Gamers shirt and someone thinks is just like a religious group or I will stop and no it's not this is not an
understatement. On organized religion says agnostic, in terms of the miniature is not in terms of his own personal beliefs. Hey so I got a question for you Josh. Mmm. Okay. Can I throw a question back at you know absolutely go for it. So what are some if they're what are some kind of What's the word white elephant is in the word? What is the word for model that you'd really like to get your
hands on that? Seems elusive, but you'd really like to have in your collection if you could get it at a reasonable price, can you rattle off a couple of those? It maybe you'd like to have but, you know, mile down yet. So actually. Yeah. Yeah. Because I've sort of got this bug for rogue Trader Orcs now, Rogue Trader talks have been something. I didn't collect when I was in the hobby initially and it always admired Kev Adams Space
Orcs, I just found them. Just very interesting design wise, but it wasn't until maybe two years ago that through a trade for painting. Kind of deal with David in the United States but I could get my hands on a lot of these old classic. You know, Road traitor like early very early 90s designs so now it's kind of a hunter's on forgetting, all of them all that I can to to fulfill all the different Clans in this sort of Road Trucker. In 40K sort of project them on now.
So that's probably that's probably my biggest thing. Like, just getting a lot of like the Mad boys getting all of those. I mean, that would be a great collection to have all the Bali designs. All of calves. Different variants of walk,
boys, that he did for that. I think it's probably the classic range and I think that's probably, if I can look back in a time in games, which of History, I think that was just the Golden Age of of, Opting, I think that that brought out the best of care of and it just brought at this wonderful range of individual models and great character.
And in the designs that, yeah, I'd love to get my hands on those which are, you know, they're pretty pricey and they're not always available in the second-hand Market. But yeah, made I think that's probably my my go-to at this stage. How about you sir? Have you have spares small? As you can use to treat out? Say, you know, I've got a ABS, I can trade these outputs and works to be honest. I don't, I've sort of collected up, sort of collected, the things that I really needed.
And and I do have a couple of actually I'm in the in the process of getting ready, a couple of awk vehicles from Rogue Trader that I don't think I'll ever get to paint. And I, you know, I've already painted one. I don't need five Freight for example. So I'm willing to just, you know, trade those off or sell those off to get the models I need. And so in the, in terms of Having like leftover stuff.
I don't really have a lot of leftover stuff I've sort of got stuff I want and need kind of thing. Nothing. You can part with things that I don't really want to part with because it's took so long to get them. And you know, I was very fortunate to have those things that I just do not want to ever have to go through the process. Right of stuff anymore. You know what I mean? Right, I got you.
Yeah, but you know, I mean your collection must be quite sizable and obviously you've got the basement to I hate all that, all that stuff? Yeah. But well, like I'll give you a couple of tips. Yeah, you're if you're interested, it's cool. I think one of the things is we've noticed in a couple of occasions that people will spend that eBay.
It's easy to overspend. But sometimes you just get lucky and, you know, we bought a couple of batches where we just a bunch of loose old GW metal, 19 bucks, 21 box, and then you start picking it apart. It's like, oh, here's a couple of genestealers. Here's some really old, dwarves, your somebody from the, which is The Grudge of drawing or something like that. The queen Helga or whatever. And so, it's funny what you can find in a batch.
But we've also found is, if you're not afraid to drop five or six hundred dollars now, that's a lot of money, right? That's a lot of money, but if we have some money in the PayPal account, or if we've made some money off the channel, we kind of consider that to be disposable, you know? And and sometimes like I said, you'll get someone who is selling something from an estate sale or selling a bigger collection once it hits a certain price threshold.
People will shy away from it. They won't, they won't drop five or 600 even though if you look at it and say, you know, these are some old Minis and they are well painted and if you broke it down by model, the each model would be you know on its own would be $25, $30, whatever because of the rareness of the
model and the butt. So we have done that, we bit the bullet on a couple of occasions that, okay, we're going to buy this because if we busted it up and sold it back in pieces, we could recoup Ooh, most are all of our money. Hmm. But in the meantime and we haven't, we've never done that. I haven't sold anything back on eBay but that's my justification is like it's not, you know, I could always put it back out into the world but we use it
right. And so it's like what what how much would it cost me to buy that to buy that individual figure and then paint it or have it painted? Because you know I can't I paid at my level. I don't paint a you know professionals level that's That's time, that's a lot of things. And so if you, if you are willing to do that and even if you say, well, let's say I buy some big collection, maybe, I could sell half of it back and recoup the money, you know, so I
don't know. It's it's an extravagance. But like I tell people, I don't gamble, I don't smoke, I don't drink. I don't own a bass boat. I don't do any of that stuff. So amortized over a year, it's really not that bad. I'm pretty good. Yeah, my not me. The same. But after I drink, I don't gamble or don't smoke anymore,
but yeah. But yeah, I sort of, I set a limit my, my, my purchases purchases, or the sort of goals, like, hobby goals to things like, okay, I really, really wanted this or this is something I had in the past. I really want it back in, if I can get, if I can recoup, everything that I had back when I was in my 20s and I'd be really happy and I can look at my collection now. It's think, you know, I'm so blessed that I've got all this stuff. It's all painters in my cabinet.
I can play with it any time I've got You know, years of enjoyment, I don't need everything and I think, you know, I think people get in that trap, they need to have everything. I did of all the armies and you'd have all the books and I don't think you really need to have that. I think you just need to be content with the things that really bring you the most joy and the other stuff, you know. And you know, I mean, I think there is an element of obsessive-compulsive behavior.
Yes. Yes. I'll be and certainly I have it and some of the people that I hobby with, have it. Yeah. And what we've kind of discussed Gust is it's okay to have tubs full of see, terrain building bits and pieces if you use them. Yeah, you know it's okay to collect that stuff. If you if you sit, you know. Like here's one of the things we try to do is okay, we're going to, we're going to do some stuff. We're going to spend four hours on Sunday afternoon. I'm going to build something, so
I'm going to go into the tub. I'm going to pick something that needs to be built or primed or painted or something and finish it just get it finished. Not worried about doing the whole set, not worried. Building a whole city, just finish one piece and get it on the shelf. And if you do that consistently, you can Whittle it down. But if you try to say, I got to finish everything, that's in this tub, you just going to be overwhelmed.
Now, the better thing to do would be not to fill the tub to begin with, but once you have Try to whittle it down like I think earlier in the fall we had a bunch of old mordheim train filled cardstock stuff. Yeah, that I had picked up here and there and it was in terrible shape. It was Dusty at cobwebs on it, all the, you know, plastic pieces and separated from the cardstock pieces. And we just took a day to two days, actually, dusted it off. Got it cleaned up, made some basis for it.
Got it, you know, all back in fighting form and it's such a great feeling because now it's not just sitting there. They're in a box, you know, disintegrating its back on the table. And now it's back on YouTube and and other people can enjoy it. So yeah, I don't quite know what to say. I'm a little ashamed sometimes but I looks like sounds like it's going to go home and it's in a good place and you know you're enjoying don't judge me.
You can share with with the Greater Community on YouTube in that kind of thing and they can they can enjoy you enjoying a kind of thing and I mean they get a they get a good bright kick out of that. So That's the most important thing. So, but yeah, mate. That's wonderful. So I've all your prized collection that you have there in the basement, what do you, what do you value the most? Like what's your sort of
treasured game or? Well, let me also, just, I used to work with a guy named Rad mate. And he was a military guy and he was about as wide. As he was tall, he was built like a barrel, right? Yeah. And he was and he's not with us anymore. Sadly, but he was a classic car refurbisher so he would buy these cars, he would fix them up. And one thing he always told me was, he said, you can't get too attached to anything because it's all just metal and it goes away.
Everything in life is ephemeral, right? So it's just stuff and yeah. So, I don't get too overly attached to it, but there are some of the old mordheim, one of the collections we did pick up. Was it a gentleman who had a bunch of old More Time figures, he passed away. He gave them to a friend, the friend soleimani Bay and we picked up the lot and the just great. They do not only are they great classic figures.
Great classic GW Metals but they're painted to a high standard and it's a work of art, right? Hmm. And then we have some old row. Trader Eldar like early early, early stuff and do you remember around? I know Sandman is Netflix show now, but you suppose you were watching comic books back in maybe they late 80s, early 90s. I forget how old you are. Not not that old, maybe when the sandwich just turned 49, but I never, I know. Okay, yeah.
I'm never never been a comic person made to be honest. Well, Neil gaiman's the Sandman, hmm. I was sad, man, is an old all Comic book character because back to the 30s, I think. Wow. But that was a guy in a gas mask with a gas gun, fighting Nazis and stuff and then boom, the nilgai been the writer reimagined him as being sort of the Lord of dreams and he wears
this helmet. He's got this really kind of bizarre helmet, that kind of covers his whole face and it's got big emerald, bug eyes and sort of a little snout on it.
Yeah. And I think that, I don't know if that was the same same time frame, but I don't know if those Eldar. Spire the Sandman or the Sandman inspired the Eldar, or if they're both pulling out the same aesthetic, you know, maybe there's some common influence, but they, there's these old Rogue Trader Eldar and they have all these Stones up and down their arms and was always a little Jewels, all over them. And they have the big kind of insectoid full-face helmets with the big eyes.
And just so, so lovingly detailed and sculpted by a human mind, you and actual human. Being sculpted those things by hand, you know, not a computer not, not an AI, you do not not maximizing the amount of detail on a scoped and created those, and they're just, just really wonderful. And so, it's like that. It's not only, is it a, a nice sculpt. That's a piece of art, but somebody lovingly carefully rendered them within, you know, paint. So I don't know.
I think 50. Years from now if they're not they don't get destroyed in a house fire or thrown in a dumpster by accident or something like that, they will still be very collectible and I don't and not to knock anything it's being done today. You know if people love it by all means you know they should love what they love mud. I don't know if the if the Plastics are going to be that collectible, mmm. You know what I mean? Pray melt melt in the cell. They're just as the Earth gets
hotter. The plastic was that bad? Right? Well they're produced in volume, it's just not the same, I don't know, I don't maybe and maybe I'm just maybe I'm just biased because I know what I like, but I think some of that stuff will still be seen as as a work of art you know, for as long as it's around.
It's really interesting actually Terry because the more people are coming to contact now with the younger that they're a lot younger than me. So in some cases you know 20 25 years younger than me they really appreciate the old. Tough even though there's no Nostalgia ties to the on stuff, they really like the old stuff. They like the metal Miniatures, the artwork and they get dragged into it that way.
So it's really, it's really great to see that younger generation of Gamers and that really appreciate the old stuff as much as the new stuff. Now there is a picture in Rogue Trader. Are you mostly a Warhammer fantasy guy? Did you ever play? I love fantasy or a lot of things but you never played early 40K. Never played early from the cave, okay? So in Trader.
You know the first book in the whole series written by Rick Priestly but a lot of other people contributed and it was based on ideas from other books, you know, like laser burn and space fairs. And there were Publications that preceded that were they kind of cherry pick some ideas. That was kind of rolled into Rogue Trader but there's a an illustration in there. Back when Space Marines were not, you know, these genetically there. I don't even know what the Space Marine.
Laura's right now, they're not the big giant Premier Skies. They were just basically crazy dudes from the feral worlds or from The Hive cities or whatever, kind of that the antisocial types and they took them and they stuck him in power armor and they juice them up a little bit and they unleash them on the world but there's a picture. An illustration of a couple of Space Marines on a city street and a guy in a mohawk is tagging a wall.
He's basically a graffiti artist and their rousting him, so they got him up against the wall is pick. Spray can is on the And and they're basically sitting there with a bark batons calling it in.
So that is what I think of when I think of Space Marines are not necessarily these giant Warriors, you know, traveling across the universe and you know fighting the cosmic forces of evil there on street level you know beating up the local Punk's or tagging the wall or you know smoking in public or I suppose walking on the grass or whatever.
So it was yeah it's a whole different Yeah, the word I'm looking for but it's it's a whole different feel to it, it's not necessarily quite so heavy, right? Yeah. No, I tell the inside till they get that. Yeah, I think, you know, going back and listening to rip Pressly talking about Road trade and how it was developed and during that time, and during the political time in London, England, during the sort of the, the, the pop culture that of that error with, you know, I'm
not a big Judge, Dredd fan. But I can see now the correlations in the terms of artistry in terms of the the writing and the background, it's all, it's all in. Fused with their the things that inspired them as when they were when they were young and it's you know, put injected into 40K and that's how it sort of started.
So it's yeah. You know, it well and they probably never considered back then that it would take off and become this big, I mean it's fine when you're a smaller company and you want to make something a little bit, cheeky a little bit subversive and it's like, fine, we sell a few copies, it'll be great to be great if we can make our money back on this but then when you become a gigantic will Corporation, you know, with a market cap, upwards of a billion
pounds or whatever it is and you're selling your IP to video games in the comic books, and you got a deal going on with the streaming services and all of that. You cannot stop writing the tiger, right? You can't afford just to make some little thing and be cheeky. You have to be pumping Out product every every month to keep those numbers out because you got shareholders and the board of directors and the CEO and all that. So it's a completely different thing.
They could they could afford. Board to be a little goofy. Yeah. Back in the 80s and the early 90s. Because the stakes were not there. And they probably, you know, they didn't have a bunch of shareholders breathing down their necks, and it's Ron. Yep, that's what I do will change in it. You know, when that change hands of ownership and, you know, became this big Global, you know, you know, it is what it is, right? Yeah. Comes with advantages. I mean yeah crack got a lot of product.
Yep. You know he just the idea that they have been producing these novels you know for going on 35 years or whatever. So of the depth of the universe, it's the beauty verse is deep and it is vast and there's a lot of Storytelling that goes on within it and I can't think of anything. Comparable unless you think of like Star Wars maybe but that's that's the inverse, right?
That's the the story came first and then the games came later and kind of tacked onto that whereas Warhammer built its own Universe from the ground up. Yeah, that's right. - yeah, it's a fascinating peanut bit of History if you go back to listen to Rick Priestly and he's lot of interviews he's doing now. Talking about, you know the the days of the early days. I let the 80s and working in the studio and how he sort of got into it and And the early forming of the company.
It's really interesting and I really, I'll leave some links in the show notes, but maybe you yourself tell you want to listen to at some point because it's yes, it's a fascinating to hear it piece of history there that we could sharing with a lot of people now on podcast. Not mine. I don't know why that's not mine but yeah another podcast that he's talking to other people about it. But hey Terry. Look, I've taken up a lot of time. It has been a fascinating chat
with you today. Are really talk too much. Oh, no. Not at all. Right, please. We have to have you back on because I'm four, I'm sure we're going to find some. Kind of old hermit or Hammer subject or something, about some aspect of the hobby that we can get you back on my in talk. Talk to us about it. But it's been really interesting to talk to you. And thank you very much again for your time. Well, thank you Josh and you are
a master painter. I really in awe of the stuff, you're able to produce think he's, I think he's a shame. You're on the other side of the world. Yeah, - okay, we'll need to talk. We need to talk about that. All right, what's in there? It's you to my take a have a good day. Bye bye. All right, bye. Hi everyone. Its GJ here with another call of the crown update. This is going to be our second to last update. We've entered a final month of the challenge. Not everybody knew that may was
always part of the challenge. So some people have finished their armies and April a congratulations to those that have finished some others have sadly had to drop out. This is a recurring theme at some point life. Just gets in the way and people have withdrawn from The Challenge. Always, almost always, I believe, saying a word of thanks for participating and sharing
that. Even though they were not able to finish the challenge, they still had a lot of fun participating, and it had really helped them get along. And that just warms my heart because that's the whole purpose of the challenge to get people to paint their armies. We've had in Toto. All around 12,000 points submitted for April, which puts the total of the challenge painted so far, add well over 130, 120 thousand points, which is just an amazing number and a great effort on everyone's bars.
I'm really happy to see all the entries and at this point, you start to reckoned. Sni's people's Army's and painting Styles and some really nice works and conversions in there. Sadly, I was not able to submit something for myself for my own two challenges for my basement and my ogres because I have been sidetracked with another project and I've simply been too busy to do anything else apart from that
one project. So without further, Ado, let's take a look at some entries and are some that that really stand out. The first one is that I want to mention is Alexander radek, which I probably mispronounced. He got a high elf Commander with a battle standard and that is the high elf charioteer from the fourth edition. Chariot kit. He works really well as ABS be
so great job there. I'd like to a point out also, Andy bunner who has a dwarf Cannon, I don't believe these are, this is, this is, I think a flame Cannon, but I do not recognize these Miniatures might be that, I just don't recognize this get or it might be that they aren't from, GW bad, moon Gobo submitted, a fantastically painted orc warlord on wyvern as first, I believe this is the exact model for tradition as Slaughter a model, the Banners are just amazing.
It's the well what's the score? This is the red. Is that evil son logo? I'm not sure does. It might be something 40K related but what he's got to do back banners and they are split down the middle but the imprints continues. So yeah, very well done. You got some lovely. What are these reich's got Food Nights by a blue in VT and I Should Skip some of the Goblins at least because I tend to focus on them for some reason Dan then he put in some dwarf Corliss very very nice models of leave.
These are the old metal Marauder models I'm not sure. He put some bow strings on there but I'm not sure if these are part of the models or if I'm just mistaken and these are Plastic kits after all, they do not great. Either way, let's see, we've got David rod with the red yellow render, Loop over the mercenary General, the disorder support and type General on foot. Great model, there Frogger submitted, some armored skeletons or other armored skull? Just regular skeletons, maybe.
But they have those coffin, lid Shields. Very well done. Great paint job there. Hetero.

What have we got here? Very nice. Hi, Al V rho by John moravsky. This is I believe the plastic kit yet. Later era plastic kits that also. I painted to a very realistic standard Johnson, do he's doing a combined high off and dwarf Challenge. And he's some usually submits, I believe one unit from each. So now he's got ten, white lions, and they are sort of facing off against dense layers. So, yeah, I'd like to see how is that battle goes.

We've got some dark elf troops, a dread Lord, and a cauldron of Blood by Maury beIN some more dark out here by pyotr a sorcerer or sorceress, I don't know only Dark Pegasus. The Richie covers has submitted to shop the and I believe these are based with actual sand from the Egyptian desert.

No, they can say unit of to tagging guard and for some reason, I see See, I put up a picture with them facing away from the camera, so I might have just gotten the wrong picture, I'll put up the wrong place, I have to check that.
