Saw the £100 challenge video by your mate and came here straight afterwards, loved just listening to this in the background whilst basing my new Votann! I love the Irn bru dwarf and you make the high level painting seem very accessible!
Loved the video man! Totally helps out with my own pile of 'potential', I personally tried out the Old World for the first time and loved it! I hope that over time you can get a feel towards it, I think its definitely my favorite warhammer game so far
Yeh I think I will enjoy it when the infantry gets more juice. I think it also depends who your opponents are, lots of sweaty minmax games has dulled my appetite
Great video to hobby to! Agree that my biggest worry about the new edition is the alliance matrix, as long as we can stay creative with the list building I'm happy with any other change. -Richard
Yeah the tidy desk thing is a big one! This is something I struggle with in a big way too. I always end up with absolute chaos after a project. Wait did you just say your "orgy Rivendell army"?? Interesting... Great video mate!
@WoodyREC Yeeessssss more elves love it. The trick is to pick very easy colour schemes. Probably why the hammers got left coz they are too complicated xD
Good stuff man. The paint pot shaker line got me. I put little army painter ball bearings in all my citadel pots. That thing looks a lot more fun though and saves you knackering your wrist. (From shaking the pots I mean.)
@@jmaccsarmiesofArda I did an Irn Bru Squig once as it seemed fitting. Yours looks better though and I am waiting to see the entire Bruniverse represented in miniature.
I wondered where i knew that orange, is the same i used on my camo. I love the davale mirkwood elves. But an army is like the price of mirkwood originals. Don’t know if it s worth it.
So for the elves you want to buy that are more GW/LOTR accurate, they are the original Devale miniature designs that are now the Blood Elves that you have already. GW sent their seize to devale to prevent them from keeping the design. So unfortunately, you simply can't get them. I helped Devale designers with the new helmet design.
Ahhh that's really interesting man thanks for clarification. Does anyone anywhere perhaps have these files saved somewhere 😆 Don't get me wrong would be nice to have to match my army but I'm more than happy using the ones I have as still very nice.
Love the video man, I was wondering for the Patreon tiers I’m not seeing anything about dice, are you still offering dice for subscribers? Def interested in supporting as I love your videos and the pod with Alex!!!
got damn boy, those rohan riders in the beginning where mint man. Where did you get them models? I have 30+ of them original ones and the multiplications are driving me mad. Aint easy getting a good looking pure horse rohan army when ytou only have 2 different horse sculpts to work with. Bloody hell!
@EspenShampoo25 oh that's very kind man. I'll do my next video on them. It's davale 3d printed riders but I just cut off the weapon arms and swapped for spears. If you mix and matched the weapons could have many different poses
@@jmaccsarmiesofArda how do you find the longevity of 3d printed minis, are they on par with the original plastic sculpts? I have never gotten into resin printing.
@@EspenShampoo25 I used to think it was crap but then I started using really good resin. Now I hardly get any breakages or fails so I'd definitely say I'm converted.
@@jmaccsarmiesofArda That sounds great. I actually have a resin printer but i never got that MOFO to print anything. I have an anycubic photon that i bought brand new in 2018. It has been a dust collector ever since. What printer do you use? Is it easy to use and reliable?
If you search. How I theory craft, you should get my gondolin tutorial which does white capes. It has to be from a white basecoat though. If you don't find it let me know any I'll link it
@@jmaccsarmiesofArda Yes, they got a little expensive to cast but I have a few spare pieces from my board build so just let me know what you need and I will send you some stuff mate, I really appreciated you showing my stuff on your video too so just let me know as and when 👍
yeah - i’m shit at it but i have fun!! with the rules and army list s online for free (minus the helpful text boxes) you should be able to get games on the table at no on cost to yourself to at least try it. most armies that you’d expect are available with more choice to give the flexibility (so with elves you can make high elves, wood elves, LotR elves etc etc) noone care if you have official mantic minis so go have fun!
@@jmaccsarmiesofArda I wasn't impressed that they put a "chick in it and made her lame" - Eric Cartman South Park. The girl who wasn't even named by Tolkien, is the central part of the story. The minute I saw Mumakil & a Watcher in the water I knew that they royally screwed the story.
@@romandacil3984 Yeeh agreed. After how bad rings of power is I need to remain hopeful that something lord of the rings based might be good -_- Hopefully Helm carrys it.
I do want to paint up some of the medbury dwarves soon. Or may be doing the irn bru iron hills. If your interested my first ever video was my khazad army. It's very crap I warn you xD
This is the most frustrating thing with GW, I get it you pay the licensing for the rights etc that’s fine I understand you taking alternatives down but make some new improved fucking High elf models so I can chuck all my money at you! 😂 I just cannot stand the OG plastics or the old metal/fincast sculpts. I have 2 FW Glorfindels, new Elrond kit, Erestor & Cirdan and 12 Riv knights waiting to be painted when they finally do updated sculpts just hope it’s bloody soon, I like to do an army in one go so I’ve been holding out on that project for ages 🙄
Oh god man I would kiillllllll for new plastic high elves. I'd buy about 10boxes of them. I really love the GW style of armour so I'd rly do anything to get some
Too many sweaty old world players... where has the actual nuance in movement, big blocks of infantry gone and less monster hammer! Also cool painting of the elves, shame that anytime I see gold armour.... I see rings of power lindon elves🤮
I came for the minis. I subbed for the Willy on the paint mixer.
Helps my writs not get worn out. From shaking paints.....
The fart noise is obscene - it gets me every time. I love it. Respect.

@ZeptonicScientist Aww cheers man that's very kind! That was always the aim with the channel fast and easy but decent results :D
Quality work in such a short amount of time. Well done! Have fun while in China!
Cheers ma man. Just on my way to the airport now. Hate flying xD
the upside down book was a nice touch
I'm so happy someone noticed 😆
Completely agree about the old world bases. That really killed it for me. They won't go back on it and probably won't realise it's an issue.
@@GameyDave Yeh I can't see them fixing that sadly. My empire look silly now. All that effort rebasing and i dont like kt 😢
@@jmaccsarmiesofArda :( I've messed around with too much rebasing. Just going to keep them in the cabinet and enjoy the models and their memories now.
@@GameyDave I like that. Perhaps I'll do my elves up just to look at 😀
Bro those elves 🔥...also Iron Bru dwarf, im here for it. Looks sick!
Coooo cooooo

Just realised i forgot to add the clip of my desk being ruined after the elves xD .OG ya Mellon.

I managed to finish one episode xD

Honestly pal, if you're looking for a game to scratch the rank and file itch, Kings of War is the one. Such a good game.
@gedcourtney9305 oh yeh I've always wanted to try that. I'll defos give that a swatch cheers
When I heard Irn Bru Iron Hills you aroused my interests. That is a great scheme and works really well. Great Job!
Yass cheers mate. I wonder what the fully army would look like. Even if I don't get the comision I might have to do it myself 😆

Gotta get those WW2 minis done. Also, if only you knew someone who lived in the Highlands...
Next project is that! Not sure how you living in the Highlands would change the weather, do you have a dance or something that brings the sun out?
