Too Many Minis
United Kingdom
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 9 ต.ค. 2021
My name is Ossie and I've been collecting, painting and playing games with miniatures on and off since the late 80s. These days it's very much more on than off. I can't resist trying new games and new ranges of miniatures. My enduring passion is the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game which I've been collecting and painting for more than 20 years now. I'm using this channel to share the projects me and my friends are undertaking and to just enthuse about this daft hobby.
I plan painting and converting videos, battle reports, unboxing videos, roundtable discussions, terrain bulding videos, podcast type chats and general gaming hype. Love the hype. I hope to cover everything from the big Warhammer games, Marvel Crisis Protocol, Star Wars games, Necromunda and Blood Bowl right down to small board games and the games I play with my kids. If they've got miniatures then I'm interested. You can never have too many minis.

Congrats on hitting your target. Fantastic painted minis.
Thanks.
You so quiet 😩😩😩
Yeah something funny happened with the gain.
I have the old Lucius model and honestly I prefer that to the new one.
A face only a mother could love.
Apparently the mystery faction for the Old World is Cathay.
I think the last of the 3 in the “next” for AoS is Daughters of Khaine, but I’m not positive.
That would make sense.
They look amazing! I May have to cross over to the dark side, and start painting "real" minis. I just bought my first box of Warhammer... Haven't even opened it yet. Awesome video!
What have you been painting before?
@toomanyminis. I play board games, as opposed to table top miniature games, so I mostly paint stuff for Cthulhu Death May Die, Zombicide, and the like. I recently purchased the Age of Sigmar starter set (which, as I understand it, has a somewhat reduced rule set?). I keep hearing how amazing GW minis are, so I really want to try painting some.
Absolutely amazing!! Seriously impressed you managed to hit your target of a model every day. Incredible shot of you with all the models on the table.
Thanks, Kiran!
Great video! Half expected clickbait but this definitely delivered. Your painting quality is also really nice so it's fun to see that combined with the quantity-based challenge.
Thanks and I agree it's a murky business indulging in clickbait titles but I thought if I just titled it "I painted 366 minis in a year" it would be a bit flat.
Impressive achievement!
Thanks!
Recently getting into warhammer, and looking st imperial knights. Very impressed with your figures but also on your video creating skills. Such a pleasent voice to listen to.
That's very kind, thanks. Good luck with Knights, I really want to paint a Chaos Knight this year. BIG
Impressed with how nice they all look considering the pace you’ve gone at this year. Great work
Yeah I’m pleased I didn’t really lower standards. I guess I could paint a stupid number of minis if I did but I probably wouldn’t feel this good at the end of the challenge.
Great to see them all out. The Orc killteam and nightlords are a highlight for me, but some of those mesbg models as well…👏🏻
Yeah I think the Kommando Orks are some of the best I’ve painted but I did them over such a long period of time that it didn’t feel like it.
Lovely to see, everything looks amazing but also loads of really nice individual models. Crazy to think that when I started following the channel, you considered yourself quite a slow painter!
I KNOW I’ve sped up so much. It’s definitely a case of the more you do it the quicker you get. Literally the speed at which I move the brush around has massively increased.
Love the guided tour around your painted collection for 2024. Seeing them all laid out that was certainly impressive. I think this year I’m going to try and concentrate more on my MESBG figures and not get too distracted by making my terrain. 😂😂😂
Yeah I want to get some serious progress on Middle-earth this year.
Glorfindel looks amazing! How did you do this armour?
It’s actually quite easy. It’s silver and then Akhelian Green contrast, I think thats the one and then go back over the trim in silver.
Mad when you see it all laid out like that. Congrats mate
Epic achievement Ossie. Managed over the 200 mark. But can't find my list 😢. Ps. Loving the beard
200 is a lot when you did some really big ones in there too and really fleshed out some armies.
Congratulations! You should be proud of yourself It looks great on table.
Thanks!
Painted 348 models in 2024 total. In 2025 so far, I’ve painted 200 ish :) so much much better!😂
Whaaat? It’s the 10th day of the year. That’s 20 models a day! Epic scale???
@ to be fair, 90% of it was basing models :p I have managed to paint 13 models today though 😂 I have taken a weeks holiday to do this :p haha
Awesome work. Big number this year then for you.
@ certainly hope so! Most I’ve ever done was 2021 with 900 models on the dot painted that year :)
Very nice job, it was cutting it close at the end but you pulled it off. Its weird seeing you in a different room than the hobby background. Looking forward to the big stuff this year
It’s weird filming in a different room for me too. My head looks massive here. It is quite big but I think the black shrinks the rest of me a bit.
That is too many minis…
Hahaha. I’ve run out of cabinet space again.
Love the content, awesome video!
Cheers!
You should really replay the 6th or 7th edition. It is super fun and the whole setting of the WFB world is just pure fun. I personally prefer to play WFB 6ht/7th edition. I even own a Limited edition rulebook for 7th edition. However, this set you show in the video I have only lately been lucky to get a complete copy of for a decent price. Man some are selling this set for the price of a kidney 🤪
Three evenings and only 12 Rohan assembled so far!! 😂😂😂
Plenty of time. Plenty of time.
Thanks so much for this great video! Currently trying out a few more head and weapon swaps on the rohan warriors. I'm quite keen to attempt it on the archers too, warriors 9 and 11 have great poses for that. Best wishes
I’ve got a second 24 to work on in the next month or two so I’ll definitely be trying some more ambitious conversions.
@toomanyminis. Hahah I am thinking of doing the same. Green for Rohan, red for traitors and maybe blue for the warriors of Harrowdale (Frealaf's warband). Don't hesitate to share another conversions video 😅 all the best
Thanks for the video! Been looking forward to this box!
Lovely review and objective markers
Cheers!
Looking good my friend great conversions
Thanks Lynx!
Great video, looking to do some converting myself, I'll be pinching some of your ideas and seeing what else i can come up with.
I’d love to see someone making Rohan banners out of these guys.
Thank you for the detailed video! I pre orderd the rohan warriors and now i already have ideas of how to make each warrior a little diffrent 😃 and the film is not something i would enjoy watching so I'm skipping it and all hero models that come with it... or thats what i thought before watching this, i think the heroes in the starter set could be made in some fancy looking captains 😃
Haha yeah they’d make good captains. The detailing on their helmets is really something.
I love the box, am building it myself right now. With this edition, I finally took the plunge into MESBG. And I love Rohan, so I bought Theoden and Eomer as well. The scale creep in the heroes is real, I think. Haleth is towering over Theoden. Hama is of same height, but he is supposed to be the little brother. The horses are bigger. Wulf's and the general's horse are supposed to be bigger, but as they are bigger than Haleth's steed, Theodens Horse looks like a pony next to it.
I think that’s tricky because the older plastic heroes needed to stand out next to the smaller plastic troops but the old metal models are bigger. So now they’ve enlarged the new plastic troops a bit the new plastic heroes have to go up a bit. The old metals are still pretty big though. There’s never been a constant scale across the range.
@@toomanyminis. Ah, didn't know that. I don't bother with metal minis anymore, I'm just too lazy :D Thanks for clearing that up.
I wouldn't feel too bad about missing out on Haleths throwing spears, I haven't seen the actual throw do much and your not going to be supporting with him, He really wants to be up front in the thick of it
No I’m cool with the sword. I like the look of it better. I think people who have seen the movie will go with the axe.
Thank you for the detailed video, very relieved to see there is some modularity in the sculpts. The new Rohan are superb. I ordered the starter set and another box of Rohan warriors… Voting with my money. Hopefully, the other plastic models in the range get a refresh because these new models are really out of this world
Yeah I’ve got a second set of the Dunland on the way. Time to horde out.
Films actually quite good, well worth a watch, just waiting on my starter box to arrive here
Yeah really enjoyed it. Quite a relief.
The new plastics to me built and paint into really nice looking models BUT - for a wargaming kit feel like several steps backwords. Poor contact points to bases without lots of pinning work for the tribesman. Very fine weapons that will be easy to catch and break. A very long constructions process. I'm sure with a slight redo of the poses, they could have been simplified and made less of a nightmare/far better for a starter set. To put into perspective, the new resin hero's have half the pieces of a warrior model.
You’re not wrong. I really enjoy the building and the hobby side most but if you want to get up and running quickly and have sturdy models for gaming this probably feels like a step back. For me it’s a step forward but I do think it will get a mixed reception.
I think you have hit the nail on the head by saying it’s a set for adult market. It’s fair to say that GW knew this set was not one for the kids anymore as much as it was back in the original trilogy. It’s more for us older farts who are just itching for some new models and by eck have we got some. Great video Ossie and so glad you got the set to show us and probably one of the best reveal VLOGS out there. 👍🏻
Lovely work, especially on the extra bits and pieces
Thanks man. Got to have the objective markers.
Really like the film. Seen it twice. I’m loving the minis and honestly super duper hyped for this edition and everything around the hobby! :D
Yep my other projects are very pushed to one side right now.
This is brilliant!
Thanks!
use transparent mini is at another level.
I agree the Numenoreans should have gotten their own army box set with Spearmen and Archers. The Orcs should have more archers (or as many as other box sets). The Corsairs of Umbar would be better if they had a boat. The Arnorian Army should be broken up into Arthedain/Cardolan & Rhudaur
Last year I went for 100pts a week (40k) and just scraped it, this year I went for 50 and I've got a single Immolator to finish and I'll be done. Next year I think I'll pinch part of your idea and go for 366 wounds of models as it's mostly Knights and tanks on my to do list and I'm not sure they'd count as just one model lol
Oh doing it by points or wounds is a great idea. I definitely want to paint some big stuff next year. A Primarch. A flyer. Maybe a Knight. Maybe a dragon.
Changing systems halfway through the year probably threw me off quite a bit but no idea what my number will end up as. I’d quite like to clear the desk a bit before the end of the year - few half painted minis been knocking around since 2023 I think.
My target was 50, so a model a week (ish) It looks like I’ll end up with 83! And some of those are large character models too, so I’m well chuffed this year
Yeah that’s great. I’ve done very few big models. Definitely on the cards for the new year.
I started with all the good intentions and then hit Summer. After that it all went Pete Tong. I started the two scenery builds for Weathertop and Amon Hen and after that Arnor so got distracted. 😂😂. I still achieved quite a lot of my backlog cleared though so I’m well chuffed with what I have done. So next year?😂. I’m just going to keep going. Crack on gang.
Crack on for Frodo!
I have been way to sick sadly to get anywhere near my goal but great to see it working for you
I’m sorry to hear that man. I think you’ve done really great stuff this year. Especially the fish.
Loving the update video. I have only painted amdur, elfhelm and a easterling banner. Hoping to finish some terrain by the end of the year
@@toomanyminis. Thank you they are cool but a lot of work it takes time
@LynxLord1991 yeah not a quick one at all.
@jakerobson2067 yeah looks like you’ve got a lot of terrain in progress.
Really cool army, youve given me a bunch of ideas for conversions of my own GSC thanks
I think your list is pretty good! Personally would bump Uruk-hai and Rangers down to C. Uruk-hai are just too small, and their pikes are so easy to break. The rangers just look uninspired and have way worse outfits/poses compared to some of the metal ranger sculpts. I also think the Galadrim have much better sculpts than you give credit for, and personally I would go A for the infantry and B for the cav. But maybe that's just me!
Those are all fair takes. I maintain the Galadhrim cav are woeful but I may have been overly harsh in the infantry.
Its just another refresh for GW to make a cash grab off of. Im not rejoicing. Honestly its kinda sad that yall keep sucking off GW for trying to find new ways to dig into your pockets. Crazy how great the games they made were before they started doing this. Kinda pathetic how trash they are now and how hard yall try to keep up with it.
That’s unpleasant. I disagree. I’ve had six great years of this edition and in that time the team have been reworking all the profiles for a new edition which I really welcome. I’ve been playing this game on and off since it came out in 2001 and it’s the best it’s ever been. It’s not a huge cash grab at all IMO. If you really object to buying the new rules you can find pdfs online I’m sure and play with the models you’ve got. I don’t get it at all.
@@toomanyminis. You must live under a rock then. Look at any other system GW has come out with. It was going great but since everyone has a bunch of models for it already they werent making sales. So they had to do something. They killed off old world because of it, just to bring it back to make more money. They havent cared about Middle earth for years. But once they realize how big it is they start making models and make a whole new update for it. Youre allowed to disagree but again you have to choose to ignore alot of things that have gone on over the years to stand by that.
