We don’t always have to copy everyone else. Why not try ticking when others tock.
I much prefer experimenting myself. Youtube is often my outlet for discovering, improving or disproving things in this hobby.
Like mixing your own range of inks from only 5 colours.
With only 5 bought inks, I teach you how to make over 168 different colours just by measuring drops. Mix these with a bunch of different mediums and you’ve got yourself paints, contrast paints and more.
When this hobby is frustrating. I aim to simplify.
Airbrushing can be difficult. Like trying to change a tyre in the rain, on a motorway, without a jack. Wouldn’t it be easier if all those nasty variables would just go away.
I’ve always liked making, building, designing and creating things. It’s better than spreadsheets.
When I’m not on Youtube…I’ve spent many years in Game and Movie advertising. I’d wager you’ve seen some of the things I’ve designed.
And I’d guess you’ve probably played a few of the over 420 games I’ve worked on.
When you absolutely, positively have to paint over 1000 miniatures.
And then carefully arrange them in a vast diorama, add VFX, camera motion and music. Amazing what you can do with an entire team. Unlike on Youtube where it’s me, stuck in one room.
And delving into game capture gives you some time for Assassinations.
Yes, we all know how buggy this was at launch but that never stops a client asking for miracles now does it. Still it turned out to be a pretty good game in the end. When it finally worked.
Maybe stop motion animation floats your boat better.
Perhap you want to sit back and take a trip down gaming history lane with a small creature knitted out of brown wool.
Or you prefer a bald man doing the assassinating.
I mean, who doesn’t love Agent 47. The style, the grace, the bald head and the myriad of ways to take down any target. Just like 40k, without the dice.
I’ve enjoyed this hobby since the late 1980’s. Bury me with what’s left of my pile of shame.
I’m also a qualified Product Engineer so could design you a new kind of toothbrush. But I much prefer modifying and designing all kinds of terrain.
Homemade MDF Terrain (laser cut)
Modified Card Terrain (Battlesystems)
Cardboard and MDF Terrain (TT Combat)
Combination Plastic Terrain (MDF, GW Plastic, 3D Print)
Modified MDF and Plastic Terrain (Plastcraft)
Aged/Weathered Terrain (GW Ash Wastes)
“Woof! Woof!”
