Really appreciate you all for checking out my work! Feels like I’ve reached the end of another arc for the channel with this video, and I’m excited to keep evolving the format!

I love when you work on the para bellum minis. I'm very interested in seeing you paint minis from other games as well
I've got a few different brands on the channel. Glad you appreciate my work!
I’m sorry it is the way it is. If it is any consolation, your content is consistently engaging and best of all, doesn’t rely on the inflated hype of the next new thing.
You clearly care about these games. Conquest is sick as hell, and gunpla wargames are what got me into scale models.
No need to be sorry, thanks so much for engaging with and appreciating my content
Both of your armies look great and it's good to hear that your taking a healthier approach to content creation
Thanks for understanding and appreciating my work!
You always manage to impress me. Not just painting, but with your growth, and work ethic. I'm at the point you could do crochet and I'd still be here liking, commenting, and leaving the bell on. The army's looking sick. I was dead at the "oops! I bought more". I think we're all guilty of that.
wowza, now that truly is a SUPER thanks. Thanks for always appreciating the variety of content and thoughts I have to share. (and yeah lol, I knew that joke would be uncomfortably relatable for people watching ha ha)
Super heartfelt content. This feels like a glimpse behind the curtain into your world, getting to peek at what you really love beyond the work you do for your platform. A labor of love indeed!
Whew, that feeling when I finished my horde of 48 force-grown clones was immense (even if I have to base them still).
it's a great feeling, I only have 36 drones! lol
Great work, Liam! You're putting so much work into Conquest and your armies look great. Looking forward to our next game
Thanks dude, sure is a lot of work, but boy is it ever satisfying to slap an army you painted onto the table ha ha
Incredible video. As a Gunpla builder and mini gamer I have found bouncing back and forth has been incredibly helpful in staying motivated
Thanks! being able to switch between things is nice indeed
I have immense respect for you and the passion you bring to each and every project you do. You are truly an inspiration to me. Never stop being yourself
Thank you, I won't stop being myself ha ha
Is great to see you talking about conquest, is a shame that this Game is not getting all the attention It deserves, the majority of content about wargaming here in TH-cam is about Warhammer and i think that conquest deserves a lot more praise and attention, this Game is FUN and FAST, two things that i appreciate a lot in this kind of games
Glad you appreciate Conquest! Unfortunately Warhammer overshadows many great tabletop games; such is the nature of being the top dog in a niche area on TH-cam
I love, love, love Conquest! It is among my top 3 fantasy medieval wargames. Middle Earth strategy battle game, Conquest, Kings of War w/AoS being a honorable mention.
I have some conquest models and now I’m feeling inspired
more like, inSPIREd
Consistency is important, and there are many forms of that. The best kind of consistency is being consistently yourself. It's the same for every artist. And that's what you're making. Art, not content.
These models are so good. God the last thing I need is another game to buy into but seeing these models makes me want to pick up a box to at least have to paint.
Well said! Their individual resin models are certainly very good for painting projects lol
Conquest models are outrageously good across so many genres and I love what you've done with your armies!
Thanks for appreciating both my work and the models!
What an excellent burp and magnificently pointy beard. Painting was good too 😉
Ha ha, honestly one of my best burps I think. Thanks dawg
Love this video. thanks for the conquest content. Your models look great.
you're welcome, and thank you!
can't wait for the 100 Kingdoms video. I have a starter box that I want to make for demos at my LGS so this is very inspiring.
oh cool, I'll turn this comment into motivation then lol
i saw you at game con, i played the demo there. and me and my friends have all bought starter armys
Amazing to hear, thanks for playing!
I would love to see you kit bash some spires models like you have with those retinue. I've been wanting to kitbash an HCE with a marksmen or infiltrators variant.
I'll certainly never stop kitbashing lol
Keep doing what you are doing bro!
Love your videos.
I will, thanks!
I do enjoy your wargaming content and personally would love to see more of it.
Good to know, thanks!
You are wonderful.
so is this comment!
You do you buddy.
roger that!
Can't wait to see the kingdoms video
looking forward to painting them!
To be honest your part of reason hand paint my gunpla and why I'm working on my own gunpla war game
That's cool to hear!
Keep it up Dude. Cool stuff.
I will, thanks!
To thine own self be true. Jokes on you, I'm happy with anime, models, videogames or whatever. I'd probably still watch if you dedicated yourself to make-up tutorials.
Great looking work! Play some more Mecha tabletop and try Mordheim! Please and thank you. Lol
lol, thanks for the dedication. So much good tabletop, so little time right??
Love you work, keep it up
That I will do, thanks!
I wish they made a 32mm or a little bigger mini game for gundam. I want an army of zakus! I just wanna recreate the battles from 08th company
that would certainly be quite the licensed game, intriguing!
Sure, you could chase the algorithm, but what'll eventually happen is you'll burn out and stop liking what you're doing (maybe even hating it) and then what's the point? That's how creative people fizzle out every day.
Keep doing what you love to do and if that changes over time, that's fine. The enthusiasm and excitement you bring to your stuff is why a lot of us are here in the first place.
Thanks for the reassurances! Nothing like good ol' late-stage capitalism to grind us all down ha ha
Yayyyy more conquest Jesus
#bless
OOPS I BOUGHT SOME MORE WOOPSIE
OH HECKING WHOOPSIE DAISY YA GAVE ME SOME MONEY, better save it for more minis
In regards to your YT woes: You're making content for a niche market. Most of whom are all about Warhammer 40k, and nothing else (even the Geekdom has it's 'normies'...). Make want YOU want to make. There are many people who like what you do, and will watch it. Plus, this YT thing that went full bore in 2020, is a bubble. It will burst sooner or later, so don't count it as your sole source of revenue.
yeah for sure I have definitely recognized much of the same things the last few years and do not see it as a stable system. Glad you appreciate the diversity of content here!
