Make your CSM gruesome AF

Hello team! We've got a good ol' speed painting video for you this week. Hatty and I paint up some of these crazy-good Veil Touched models from Ravaged Star in a fast, effective, gross scheme. These would make great beginner friendly, affordable proxies for Chaos Space Marines if you play 40k, so I'd definitely give them a lo...

Clever girl! Finally painting this gorgeous, scaly queen

Happy new year, everyone! I hope you're all doing fantastically well. I've got a fun new video for you to kick off the year.

I was in Jersey back in February 2022, visiting family and showing off the twins. I met up with one of my oldest friends and had a fun afternoon in his man cave (no sniggering at the back!)

Hobby blackout? Finding the best battery powered lamp for hobbying in the dark

Hello you wonderful lot! Guy here! As a quick, fun video I put together this little episode where I try to find the best battery powered hobby lamp Amazon has to offer. There were some big surprises, especially at the extremes of the budget, so hopefully you'll find it useful just in case you end up hobbying in the dark this ...

You want the legs of a GOD MACHINE?! Gimme another 10 reps!

Hello, hello, all you lovely people! The legs are DONE! Using my streamlined version of Steve's amazing painting guide, Hatty and I smashed through the leg panels in just a couple of days. I want to get this thing finished for the end of the year, and I'm pretty happy with the pace of this progress!

Also, I have a fun p...

Winners announced!

Amazing guesswork on that flash competition, friends! Very impressive. I'd actually forgotten about some of the things you suggested! Here's a quick video revealing the winners...

A cheeky little competition

Hello you lovely people! Guy here. In my recent Golden Demon video, I said I'd be giving away the limited edition Primaris and Orruk models from the event on Patreon, and here I am, true to my word! :)

Now, Patreon's rules being what they are, I can't just randomly choose a winner, there has to be some skill or determin...

Hatty's Halloween special!

Hello you lovely, awesome folk! Spooky season is upon us, in fact, it's Spooky Christmas TODAY! To celebrate Halloween, team MWM's favourite time of year, Hatty has created an ungodly mashup of the Great Unclean One, transforming it into Oogie Boogie from the Nightmare Before Christmas!

This is also Hatty's first video ...

Golden Demon, baybeeeee!

Hello you lovely bunch! I was very kindly allowed into the Golden Demon with a press pass, and I documented the stuff I got up to, the things I saw, the people I met, and the fun I had!

There's also an incredibly satisfying resolution to the White Dwarf model/subscription story from the last video. I hope you like it! 2022-10-10 17:25:18 +0000 UTC View Post

Time to bin all your paints?

I thought it would be fun to see if it was possible to paint some Warhammer models without actually using acrylic miniature paints, and see what kind of effects I could create just using ink!

It was a really fun experiment, some things worked amazingly well, others... not so much, but I did the experiment so you don't h...

I painted ALL my Necrons... in one sitting.

I'm not quite sure how I managed it, but I did YET ANOTHER "no sleep" challenge to finish 4 Indomitus boxes worth of Necrons in one go. I got up at 7am last Sunday, and didn't go to bed until about midday on Monday... for your enjoyment!

I had some fantastic help from Hatty and Simon, and plenty of emotional support fro...

Oh my goodness! Is it Titan time AGAIN?

Yes indeed my friends, twice in as many weeks. In this episode I finish up what I started in the previous video before it got hotter than Satan's butt crack in the studio. Not only do I paint the Tau hovertank on the base, but we also gave the earth and floor tiles a good going over, as well as adding some tasty weathering to...

Let's paint that Warlord Titan, shall we?

Yes friends! The time has finally come. After literally more than a year (on and off) of prep work, I'm actually PAINTING this thing. Let's goooooooooo!

Although this is obviously geared very much toward painting enormous war machines, you might find the techniques useful for quickly and efficiently painting up vehicles...

Your wish is my command!

Here we go, team! Heresy-era Emperor's Children in fast, easy steps!

Looking back at that poll, it now looks like Alpha Legion took a late lead, but at the time I started painting, Fulgrim's boys were out in front.

I hope you like this "good old fashioned" speed painting tutorial!

Hope you all had an amazing...

Speed paint flash poll!

Hello you beautiful beasts. This week's video is having to be postponed for unavoidable reasons, but I really want to get a video out this week. You know what that means!

SPEED PAINT TIME!

I was recently gifted one of the new 30k Space Marine models, and I'm going to paint it up fast! Let me know which chapter yo...

Let's get smashy!

Hello you amazing bunch of legends! Guy here, and it's time for another episode of the Warlord Titan build. I was a bit worried my model might look a bit too clean and fresh, so I took matters into my own hands and had a bit of fun adding some battle damage to the big lad. I also painted up one of the panels in the most popul...

Here I go again!

I took the string off my hobby wallet after a year of buying (practically) nothing! A few moths flew out, but there was enough in there to buy a few cheeky deals at the UK Games Expo! This was a super fast video to make, as I'm busy-busy-busy shipping out those Post-Vetruvian Man art prints this week, but I hope you find it e...

Emperor Protect the Potentate!

Now THIS was a fun video to make! I had this crazy idea of creating a grimdark version of ol' Queen Liz to commemorate the Jubilee. Now, being honest, I'm not much of a royalist, and because I'm from Jersey she's not even technically my Queen, but I know it's a big deal for a lot of people, so... here we go!

I teamed up...

Painting Miniac's awesome Wood Elves!

Hi team! Guy here. Here's a nice video for fans of the old speed painting series: I paint up the 32mm versions of Miniac's fantastically sculpted Wood Elves in less than 2 hours per model! I used the same 14 paint selection as my Blackstone Fortress series, but this time I used Saddle Brown as a unifying colour, mixing it int...

Personal announcement

Hello everyone, I just wanted to let you all know that Penny and I recently separated.

I know this may come as a shock. Even though we are no longer together, our children mean the absolute world to us, and we are committed to doing everything we can to give them love and security going forward. To this end, please resp...

Competition winners announced!

HEY LOVELY PEEPS, it's Guy here.

I just made a quick update video on the recent charity fundraisers I've done, with a bit of bonus news/update about the channel in general too.

I also announce the WINNERS of that recent guessing game competition, so... go check it out! :) GOOD LUCK

COMPETITION TIME, get your guesses in!

Hello friends, it's time for a cheeky giveaway.

I will explain what you will win once you have won, but I'm going to be honest, the 2 prizes are pretty awesome.

These 2 envelopes contain a piece of paper inside. Each piece of paper has the name of a SPACE MARINE unit written on it.

The first person to correc...

BWAAAAAAM, Titan time! Let's gooooooo

Hey friends! The latest episode of the ludicrously complex Titan building process is up and ready to watch! Believe it or not, this thing is actually READY TO PAINT! It feels like it's been an age since I bought it, so much has changed for the channel since then. Thank you all so much for tagging along with the journey, you'r...

First collaboration of 2022!

Hi friends! Guy here. It's been a while since the last video, eh? There are many reasons, mainly that I have 2 more videos pretty much ready to go, they all just required lots of strange work to get done... so a fun-filled April and May are on the cards!

In today's video, I collaborate with Arbitor Ian to tear down the ...

TITAN TIME, baby!

Whew! That was a busy week. Not only did I head up to Nottingham to visit Warhammer World for its anniversary celebration, I also built the Titan's epic torso, complete with huge exhaust vents. This video's got all sorts: magnets, an insane model comparison, and my water even got disconnected, haha. ENJOY!

The first livestream from the new studio!

Hello ghouls and ghosts! I hope you're getting your weeks off to a fantastic start. Here's the link to last week's livestream, which is now set to unlisted so only you lovely Patreon supporters can enjoy!

I forgot about this livestream!

Hi folks, I was just about to post the private link to last night's livestream so all you lovely Patreon supporters could rewatch it at your leisure, but looking back through the "livestream" tag it looks like I missed out on posting this one!

It was streamed back in September, filmed immediately after I did my review o...

A close call!

Given there were so many options to choose from in the recent AOS poll, which of these three top-voted factions would you like to see a painting video on... if there was only ONE VIDEO?!

Your wish is my command!

I asked you what you wanted a speed painting video on, and here we go! Just like magic. The thing I'm most happy with is the rock-solid, believable snow bases. Just 2 ingredients, as well!
