30 free basing textures: the exclusive Patreon guide

Hi team! In today's video, I'm going to make 30 unique texture paints for your basing and terrain projects. All of them are either free, or very low cost. Essentially, there's a good chance you probably already have them, all you need is the paint.

I thought it would be useful for you all - as my very valued supporters ...

Livestreaming right now! Patreon only for the first 30 minutes :)

Guy & Ant work on the TITAN (Livestream archive)

Hey team! Last weekend we had the pleasure of hanging out with Ant for the day, and we spent a good couple of hours prepping the body and legs of the Warlord Titan. On top of the building, we weighed up the dangers of eating resin-dusted peanuts, chatted about which public figures will achieve the "national treasure" title in...

Dear Games Workshop

Hello team! I'm just about to upload the 6th... yes, 6th video for July. Paternity leave is well and truly over eh? Haha

It's a sort of "open letter" to Games Workshop, but focusing on the sad news that recently did the rounds of how many GW staff members are comparatively underpaid for the work they do. I share my own ...

Let's get ready to RUUUUUUUMBLE

Drukhari vs Genestealer Cults in the 4th game of the Start Collecting Deathmatch?! YES PLEASE!

A really fantastic game to witness, both sides showing their strengths, but a fast and furious 3-turn game for the ages.

Brent from Goobertown Hobbbies guests as the virtual Archon for the Drukhari, played at MWM HQ by m...

Penny & Guy play OPERATION!

Just a quick 1 hour livestream we hosted last night, getting back into the swing of things with streaming. The babies were (kind of) sleepy, so we played a little game of Operation, drank whisky, mocked Cavity Sam, chatted about being parents, and how rubbish cats are. ENJOY!

This is now a Patreon-only livestream. Remem...

A dramatic pre-twins livestream

In this livestream, I starting drawing an Ork for no reason.

There was drama!

Drama 1: Penny had to go to the hospital because her blood pressure was crazy high. A rapid appointment, she was home by the end of the livestream! What a rollercoaster of excitement. (I couldn't have gone, because companions weren't all...

Double video week!

Hey hey HEY everyone! It's Sunday, it's 8am, everyone in Europe is just waking up... what a perfect time to launch a video.

I was asked to be a guest judge for the r/minipainting Spring competition, and the finalists are out of this world! This is one for the long video fans, coming in at about half an hour. A nice and ...

What are you most tempted by?

My next video - which will be up THIS Sunday - will see me judging the 20 finalists of r/minipainting's Spring painting competition.

The video is pretty entertaining, even though it's quite long: 32 minutes total.

I'm a bit lost as to how I should title it. Can you help me out?

Which title would you be most ...

... do you want my Blackstone Fortress collection?

Yes, the rumours are true. I'm GIVING AWAY my Blackstone Fortress collection. Everything. The minis, the game, the expansions, the whole thing.

FOR CHARITY! A CHARITY RAFFLE! YEAH BABY.

This is in association, and organised by the Nova Open Charitable Foundation. You can buy tickets here: 2021-07-15 15:36:10 +0000 UTC View Post

My eyeballs can only take so much!

I've been chipping away at this video for quite a while, and I'm really happy with it!

Ludicrously pink paint? CHECK

Getting to actually paint something? CHECK

Painting a frequently requested faction? CHECK

One step closer to the next Deathmatch game? CHECK

Dana Howl cameo? CHECK

Archer ref...

Wait a second, that wasn't one of the options!

HELLO FRIENDOS, here's a super-fast video I made today about the correct, and INCORRECT ways to use a hobby knife.

Yes, this wasn't one of the options I gave you in yesterday's poll, but I remembered I already had the script finished, and BOOM... here we go. All of those video topics I mentioned in the poll will be made...

What to do this week?

Hello team! A bit of a tricky situation has arisen. The video that I had made for this week will need to have its release delayed; it's makes up part of a much bigger event in the "hobby sphere", which has been pushed back at least a week.

The one time I get things ready on time. Typical, eh?

Now I'm left...

Building a huge chunk of resin

Quite frankly, this model is absolutely ridiculous. I'm talking about, of course, the Sunfury Plasma Annihilator - one of the Titan weapons we all chose together.

In this video, I build it, check out the rules, "test fire" it against my Stompa, and discover that Forge World's packers weren't quite as dutiful as they cou...

Another five amazing quick tips!

In this week's video, the final video in my paternity leave series, Dice N Demons, Ninjon, Pete The Wargamer, Frog Lane Studio, and 3D Printed Tabletop share their hobby secrets!

I hope you've all enjoyed this series, and have discovered a few more channels that you enjoy!

A very important question

The Warlord Titan... what flavour do we fancy?

(specifics shall be decided later)

Citadel dropper bottles, choosing brushes, creative paint schemes, and more!

Hello you lovely patrons! This week, for the third episode of my "paternity leave" videos, I've teamed up with Geek Gaming, Lyla Mev, SprayBlack Studios, and The Pickle Jar to bring you some more awesome hobby tips! ALSO, the one, the only, PENNY does a little step-by-step showing you how to get Citadel paints into dropper bo...

You beautiful people

Hi everyone! Guy here. Just wanted to post a quick update to let you all know that Penny and I are doing fine, the babies are amazing, and I'm slowly starting to do hobby and channel things again for a couple of hours a day.

First off: I'm going to be replying to all the messages people have sent on Patreon this evening...

I did the thing. Also, new patron shoutouts!

Hey team! As some of you may have seen in a few posts on Reddit, Instagram, and here on Patreon, I bought a life-sized Space Marine! If you want to check out the ridiculous road-trip/rescue/bromance video, it's up right now!

Also, about a quarter of the video is new patron shoutouts. You are all ridiculous and absolutel...

What should we do with the life-size Space Marine?

Should we repaint it as a new chapter, retouch it and improve the basic paintjob, and leave it as it is?

Paternity leave, episode TWO! The grimdarkening

If you've ever wanted to add serious atmosphere to your tabletop games, this video is for you! Atmoseeker shares some quick tips on easy lighting effects, Dark Matter Workshop creates some nightmare fuel with gore and doll parts, Miss Minilife shows you how to make scale model stained glass windows, and Eons of Battle get swa...

Paternity leave, episode 1!

Hello team! I forgot to post this last week when the video went live, but the first episode of my "paternity leave" video series aired last Friday, and Goobertown Hobbies, 52 Miniatures, and Raqrex Art filled my big size 13s on the channel. They shared tips on hobby organisation, paint cataloguing, and crafty inspiration, and...

GORK AND MORK APPEAR!

Hey team! Just a quick video to share some exciting news, and let you know my plans for the next few weeks.

I can't stress enough just how much your incredible support means to me, to Penny, and now to our little babies! Hahaaa, amazing. I'M A DAD! CRAY. ZEEE.

Bugs, shoutouts, and imminent babies

Hi team! A couple of fun things to mention in this post.

First off, check out the latest painting tutorial that went live at 8am GMT, Ant shares the secrets of his crazy-vibrant Tyranid paint scheme. It's actually pretty simple, but - as you can see from the thumbnail - is pretty striking! Huge thanks to Ant to filming ...

LIVESTREAM ARCHIVE: WTF happened to Cursed City?

Penny was at the hospital, I wasn't allowed to attend, so I decided to do an impromptu livestream BY MYSELF to chat about the crazy Cursed City situation, which was shrouded in mystery at the time... and still is! Watch back any time as a reward for your glorious patronage!

Lots of love,

Guy

An idea for Drukhari vs Genestealer Cult

Hey team! I've been playing around with an idea, and I'd like to know what you think.

The next game in the Start Collecting DEATHMATCH series will be Drukhari vs Genestealer Cult. Now, when the tournament was organised, both of these teams were two of the lightest in terms of points in the box, meaning that while luck m...

How's that pile of shame looking?

1 year on from the first time I outed myself as a Warhammer hoarder, have I made the situation better or worse?

Hope you enjoy this fun little video!

By the way, just a reminder that if you recently signed up as a patron before April 27th, your shoutout will either be in this video, or the next one.

LIVESTREAM ARCHIVE: Building Dark Eldar

Hey team! We went live again over the weekend, which means our previous livestream episode has now been "unlisted" on YouTube, and is only viewable by our awesome Patreon supporters... like YOU!

In this stream, I built up some Drukhari models and insulted Penny's taste in austere, joyless biscuits. We also got cut off e...

Treat the Warhammer nerd in your life!

Hey team, just a quick heads up to let you know that I'm now on Cameo!

It's basically a website/app that lets you request custom video messages from your favourite actors, sportspeople, comedians, and - for some reason - idiots like me.

Yes, this is a thinly veiled attempt to earn a bit of pocket money before the ...

What Black Library book should I read first?

So the good people at Audible seemed happy with my little sponsored slot I did in the last Titan video, and they've asked if I'd like to do another one. With double babies on the way, can you blame me for saying yes? Haha

Basically, I'd like to listen to one or two Black Library books and give an honest review in the up...
