Good evening all! Guy here. I know, I know, it's been a while! I've been crazy busy the last few weeks with various boring life things, the kids getting their new PRE-SCHOOL schedule, and a few much needed days off... but WE'RE BACK BABY.

Hi team! With all the retro vibes in the air after this week's video, we thought we'd run a special promo on our retro logo t-shirts, down from £19 to just £14!
They're super soft and lightweight, perfect for sunny days and chilling out.
... and YES, you can still use your Patreon supporter exclusive discount co...

Hi everyone! Guy here. Thank you all so, so much for your patience with this one.
Not just because it took me 4 years to finally get around to doing this episode after promising it back in 2020, but also because the video itself took way longer to make than I expected.
There's so, so much to unpack in this video, ...

Hello everyone! I hope you've all had a fabulous week and are gearing up for a relaxing weekend.
I've had a bit of a frantic couple of weeks, the twins' childminder is on holiday at the moment so I've only been able to do about half the regular work hours recently, so no time to do big painting project videos... but I'...
Hey friends! Happy August!
A few people messaged us asking if we could maybe do some kind of bundle of our smaller merch items... and we thought that was a great idea!
So, we've put together a little bundle, containing both sticker sheets, both patches, the new pin, a little MWM sticker, as well as signed photos o...

Hi everyone! Thank you all so much for your guidance on what video you wanted to see this week.
I built, painted, and reviewed this low cost, hard plastic tank from Archon Studios for this quick video.
It's fast, fun, and has big feel-good vibes.
I hope you're all having a fantastic week, and... I'm off to b...
2024-07-30 21:06:26 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone! A quick one for you today. I've had tricky couple of weeks of having to sort out lots of "real life" things, looking after kids that were too ill for childcare, a battle report that took longer to edit than expected... and Hatty is also away on holiday for her birthday!
I had intended to finish the retro pa...

Gooood morning everyone! Guy here. Very excited to bring you a brand new episode of the Deathmatch series. No longer the "Start Collecting Deathmatch", everything is now upgraded to 500 point games; my favourite format of 40k.
I hope you love this action packed battle report!
I was shocked to realise that I'd neve...

Hi everyone! Double post today, sorry for the extra notifications, but I hope you don't mind because it's NEW VIDEO DAY today too!
Get ready for the next episode of the HeroQuest series, and this time I'll show you how to paint the Dread/Chaos Sorcerers in the style of everyone's favourite saucy 80s bonelord.

Hi everyone! A few weeks ago I asked you all what you'd like to know about drybrushing minis, and also if you wanted to share any top tips you had!
Well, this is the result of that post. I've put as much useful information about drybrushing as I possibly could into a 26 minute video, covering the super basics, all the ...

Hello everyone! Our new video is almost finished, but now we need to decide on a thumbnail!
This is (obviously) the third proper episode of the Titanic Unclean One build, and this time we're SCULPTING.
Which one of Hatty's sketches makes you instantly want to watch?
We leave the fate of the rest of the YouTu...
2024-06-15 15:26:35 +0000 UTC View PostJust recorded the voiceover for the new Titanic Unclean One episode. As the bits we do at the start and end tend to be recorded later, in front of the camera, the bits we recorded right now won't be used for them and are just stand-ins.
I did both of our parts... even though Hatty was sitting here doing it with me.

I think we're definitely hitting the brief with "Titan-sized Great Unclean One", what do you reckon?
More height will be added with the horns, but really happy the heads are effectively the same height.
New video very soon!
Lots of love

Just a quick update! We had a busy day sculpting initial body shape and rough skin detail on the big boy yesterday. Now it's almost dry I thought I'd share some photos with you!
We're using DAS clay just in case you're wondering.
We'll probably swap out to milliput when we get to the heavy detail areas like han...

Hi friends! We're down to our last "wave 1" sticker sheet, and we have wave 2 on the way!
We thought it would be a fun idea to immortalise people's favourite sticker from each sheet with its very own standalone sticker.
Which was your favourite sticker from the "wave 1" sheet? (attached pic for reference)

Context: I try to 3d print something BIG, and it doesn't go well. It actually explodes. I think I've figured out what the problem is, and made a cool terrain piece out of the failure.
