@@HeliosAlpha That makes sense, but they're not as entertaining. Plus, coaching Lydia while they teach would add a different dynamic and allow us to relate to Lydia as she goes through all the common beginner mistakes.

@@mikehab7453 what they're saying isn't quite right, what they mean is a day return which means you can return the same day on no particular train. An open return means you can return any time within 30 days
I like to think that "Gamblor" is a ship that has been commandeered by the Emperor's Children, and that "Gambleina" is just an Ork in a two piece and a fright wig.
Well this was a nice treat. Lydia did a great job for a project that large. Ben and Lewis also did really well and accomplished their goals. What stole the show for me was Tom’s detail work on the Rogal Dorn. Great use of technique that results in a model that looks plucked out of the setting.
No Lydia - no - "All the Warhammer mans won't be angry at you"! Many of us who ever tried to paint these models knows EXACTLY what it feels like getting that first large model and realizing that we bit off more than we could chew.
I know, hate to think where I would put it, but I entered with no expectations of winning, mainly cos it would look epic with my own dubiously painted Blood Angels. That said, would not say no to Tom's Rogal Dawn Tank, it could be the kick up the arse I need to collect a Guard Mechanised Armoured Force of Tanks, Baneblades, a smattering of "ground pounders" with transports and even more tanks!! Might go well with the new death korps of krieg range the whispers of the warp and GW's advent calendar, told me might be coming this year.
I honestly love the cute little alien cheesecake on the Thunderhawk. I wish we could see more of that in more pro painted work. Flourishes of fun. It's wonderful. Please more like this!
I love this video, I love everything about it and I'm saving the members video for my painting session at the weekend. But what Ben said at the end really stuck with me, it doesn't matter at all what the result was, it's just fun to paint with friends ❤
Honestly the windows and the blood angel insignia are pretty good. The alien is ironically kind of fitting for like a ww2 esque stencil. If the engines and gun were leadbelcher or iron hands with some panel liner in the crevices, some highlights and damage it would be a pretty damn good job imo. It could easily be salvaged into a great paint job and I bet she could do it.
Considering all the analogies, I think it's only fair now if Lydia taught the bois how to correctly put their make-up on. Also in the beginning when Ben listed all of Lydia's "qualifications", I was expecting to see her cutting carrots.
when I was just getting started into warhammer I actually got a knight model after my first box of sisters of battle, because I thought it would be easier to paint. roughly 2 years later now I would say its still better looking then most of my other early models, not impressive but it looks table ready.
2:16, this is the second time I've seen an unsolicited hat boi in another channel's videos. Smiff was lurking when Sarah was dying in not ones and now we see a disparaged trott at the timestamp. Bless 🙏
You are absolutely right about the magnifying headset Ben. My partner always makes fun of me and has my contact in her phone with me wearing my magnifying glasses. They’re just too useful to care about how goofy you look.
i think we all agree that none of us are cringing but instead are proud to see someone like lydia painting her first model and making it fun. well done lydia, ur doing great!!
I actually really liked the windows on Lydia’s, though all the models look great! Does make me think I’d genuinely like a Tom and Ben painting stream/videos - usually Warhammer/Tom and Ben talk but they get to paint. And I’m not even a Warhammer fan/ model painter
The gang all knocked it out of the part (Lydia most of all, of course) but I never realised, despite watching for years, what an amazing painter Tom actually is. Even from all the streams and videos I just never thought about it but the man has mad talent and plenty of skill to throw around
The painted over blood angels symbol gave me visions of Lister in the intro credits to the first season of Red Dwarf painting the ship with the roller!
What I love most about this is Lydia gets to see Tom show off his painting skills! I hope they do another video together on Tom's channel and a warhammer reference makes it in lol
Genuinely i would listen to a round table chat whilst you guys paint models. I've never done Warhammer models myself but this (and the video of you teaching lydia and ravs) was something i found oddly relaxing
honestly, the lore around the thunderhawk really made this. love the idea that they either defected or it somehow got stolen and defaced. also they had to replace the door and did a shoddy job with the hazard stripes because they didnt have time or something, lol. the texture look nice and the windows look honestly pretty good. hope that whoever gets it only adds some details like coloring the guns and uses it as-is. also toms tank looks incredible. very good groundwork on lewis land raider too and i agree with front guns. back guns would also have the problem that you cant shoot at things right in front of you once the target is too close. front guns reduce that dead angle at least.
Honestly this channel really is one of the best tabletop channels out there, I really love what you've done with Games Night and hope to see what more you can come up with along the way. Keep it up!
I absolutely love that fact that Lydia's going all in ! Even doing a freaking free hand ! I would never dare doing that and it's a shame, we paint to have fun.
As somebody with 16 years of mini painting experience, Lydia is doing a great job for a beginner. Tell her we’re proud. Also she gave me a great idea to do a pinup on one of my ships lol
reminds me of a late friend that i tried this with. he was very shy around my other friend, but it ended up being full of laughs and painted hands! couldn't recommend more!
One of the biggest tells that Lydia hasn't done much miniature painting, is how deterministically she keeps rubbing her fingers at the exact spots where she wants to paint at 12:48 (for almost a minute straight) like she's trying her hardest to get all of the finger grease under the paint, by even applying some proper force to the poking and rubbing :'D Not that it'll make noticeable difference this time, but it's one of the biggest no-no's that I learned when I wanted to get into miniature painting that if you want to make the paint stick, don't add grease below it and keep the surfaces clean until it's fully done.
Lydia’s painting was good for a beginner, windows look good, the part that was dicey was the texture left from the base spray. Rattle cans are notoriously bad for this so I highly recommend using an airbrush for a priming and base coating a model like this to give a nice smooth surface. If you’re going to get a model this expensive, invest in the airbrush first.
It's been really fun watching the start of Big Lyd's warhammer journey. I know basically nothing avout the game, and seeing her having fun with it is nice. I could see it driving experienced players crazy, but that's fun too! Thanks for the video!
So enjoyed this from start to finish! As someone who has yet to apply paint stroke 1 to his newly arrived models with his newly arrived paints I found this episode especially endearing. It made me feel like bro whatever happens itś your first go and just enjoy the ride! Proficiency will come with practice but this is a hobby so just have fun. :)

@@smalwex ILL CARRY YOU MYSELF
@@smalwexIt was a good watch I would highly recommend
I mean the thumbnail baiting and title baiting are pretty disgusting not gonna lie
This has made me realize I would Love a "how to paint things" from tom and ben
A Tom and Ben painting class series would be a lot of fun.

games workshop guidebooks? nah, gimme some tom and ben save old models. and you can throw an alex and lewis every now and then if you like
I love the way Lydia's windows look like frosted glass and it's amazing
It looks a bit stylized, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I think I like it!
@@Ovetupp Yeah I'm a fan! Going for super realism needs a load of skill and practice, but getting a bit more stylised can help mask that - plus it's super fun
Best thing you want for the viewport of a plane is frosted glass windows
I WANT TO SEE YOU BASECOATING M... Not cool, Tom. Not cool.
It's you!
Any moment spent not watching Ben base coat models, is a wasted moment in my life.
It's me too I'd love to see some footage of the basecoats or maybe a painting series going through all the steps at some point
@@GamesNight
Their basecoating is better than my final product 😂
$700 is nothing next to the cost of open returns from Bristol to London for an entire camera crew.
What does open returns mean?
@@mikehab7453 A train ticket for there and back that does not specify a seat on a particular train.
It means you don't have to take a particular train at a specific time
@@mikehab7453 what they're saying isn't quite right, what they mean is a day return which means you can return the same day on no particular train. An open return means you can return any time within 30 days
That thunderhawks almost bloody big enough to fly in anyway.
Lydia is such a good choice for all this 40K stuff, she's all in no matter how concerned she is in her ability to achieve the goal
Wow, I can't believe they got legendary Warhammer super-nerd Lydia to paint a model!
'Given an age rating of 15' Oh god, Lydia's doing this?
Edit: Oh thank god, she didn't have to build it.
They would've given Lydia a modelling knife and set her off, but unfortunately LiveLeak has shut down so there'd be nowhere to upload the video.
*cuts to video of Lydia's shaky hands trying to cut a carrot*
Oh god the idea of Lyds having to build forgeworld resin…
@@Balsiefen her only fans probably has it
The end of the video is the most Ben conclusion ever. I wish I had a Ben. Protect Ben at all costs, that wholesome man.
I wish I had a Ben too. Everyone should have a Ben.
Everyone deserves a Ben in thier lives
@@BadspoonsThat's what this channel is for, so everyone can have a bit of Ben.
"Orks stole my Thunderhawk." really sounds like an absurd 40k TTRPG module.
That's gonna be a real tough conversation with the Chaplain
Tom's battle damage looked insanely good, wowww
I like to think that "Gamblor" is a ship that has been commandeered by the Emperor's Children, and that "Gambleina" is just an Ork in a two piece and a fright wig.
Well this was a nice treat. Lydia did a great job for a project that large. Ben and Lewis also did really well and accomplished their goals.

MVT (Most Valuable Tank)
@@GamesNightI would love to see how Tom was able to make that battle damage look so good! Can you share his secrets ? 🧐
straight up looked better than box art
No Lydia - no - "All the Warhammer mans won't be angry at you"! Many of us who ever tried to paint these models knows EXACTLY what it feels like getting that first large model and realizing that we bit off more than we could chew.
3:44 nice save there Tom
I so jealous of the Thunderhawk. I'd love to have one, but they're just so biiiiig
I know, hate to think where I would put it, but I entered with no expectations of winning, mainly cos it would look epic with my own dubiously painted Blood Angels.
That said, would not say no to Tom's Rogal Dawn Tank, it could be the kick up the arse I need to collect a Guard Mechanised Armoured Force of Tanks, Baneblades, a smattering of "ground pounders" with transports and even more tanks!! Might go well with the new death korps of krieg range the whispers of the warp and GW's advent calendar, told me might be coming this year.
"orks stole my gunship"
well it's ya humiez' fault for makin it red, innit
All I could think after seeing the ship after priming was "oh look its Red Dwarf in 40k"
I love the rich evolving lore of Lydia's ship lol
Gambalina will forever inspire her pirates in their darkest hour!
I honestly love the cute little alien cheesecake on the Thunderhawk. I wish we could see more of that in more pro painted work. Flourishes of fun. It's wonderful.
Please more like this!
we need a painting tutorial video from Tom now, that tank was incredible
I love that even the sponsored videos have so much charm and character to them. It's honestly perfect
Lyds prepping hard for the inevitable Henry Cavill visiting the battlebois
I think Lydia did a great job! All the models look really good but Tom's detailing was pretty amazing!
And of course the video finished with a classic Benism !
They’re two sides of the same coin!
I love this video, I love everything about it and I'm saving the members video for my painting session at the weekend.
But what Ben said at the end really stuck with me, it doesn't matter at all what the result was, it's just fun to paint with friends ❤

It could easily be salvaged into a great paint job and I bet she could do it.
Thanks Square Enix
Ben telepathically saying "a pirate ship!" at 6:15 without moving his lips really caught me off guard!
It's so fun watching Lydia get into the hobby from scratch. And she seems to enjoy it! Looking forward to more.
Considering all the analogies, I think it's only fair now if Lydia taught the bois how to correctly put their make-up on.
Also in the beginning when Ben listed all of Lydia's "qualifications", I was expecting to see her cutting carrots.
Loved it, I say have a short campaign for the adventures of Gamblor before having them go out into the world
Well apparently I was wrong on my Titan guess 😂. I didn't realise this model came in the fancy red box too!
I really wish they make more warhammer content that was more often then only sponsorship
i think it is because it is expensive
Thank you Square Enix, and thank you James Dorkchop!
Ok. The 6 hour build with Lewis and Alex might make be become a member. The short teaser they showed had a lot of classic battleboys energy
when I was just getting started into warhammer I actually got a knight model after my first box of sisters of battle, because I thought it would be easier to paint. roughly 2 years later now I would say its still better looking then most of my other early models, not impressive but it looks table ready.
Tom reminding everyone that he used to get paid to paint models! Excellent work from everyone, Lyds did a much better job than I could have done
Tom’s finished model looks incredible.
2:16, this is the second time I've seen an unsolicited hat boi in another channel's videos. Smiff was lurking when Sarah was dying in not ones and now we see a disparaged trott at the timestamp. Bless 🙏
You are absolutely right about the magnifying headset Ben. My partner always makes fun of me and has my contact in her phone with me wearing my magnifying glasses. They’re just too useful to care about how goofy you look.
I brought a pair of those magnifiers that ben had last year, such a great addition to my toolset for details
The windows on the Thunderhawk came out really nicely. Also the idea of slightly kitbashing a looted Thunderhawk sounds really fun.
i think we all agree that none of us are cringing but instead are proud to see someone like lydia painting her first model and making it fun. well done lydia, ur doing great!!
Painting time with friends is so wholesome!
Everything on this channel is so well done. Good work, Ben and crew!
I mean those windows look better than I could have ever done them so big up yourself Big Lyds the Gamblor looks great.
I actually really liked the windows on Lydia’s, though all the models look great!
Does make me think I’d genuinely like a Tom and Ben painting stream/videos - usually Warhammer/Tom and Ben talk but they get to paint. And I’m not even a Warhammer fan/ model painter

You can tell it's a pirate ship because the Imperium would never bother with hazard symbols on a dangerous mechanism or piece of equipment
Lydia's painting is the best out of everyone. Not because the painting itself was the best, but she was having fun and seems to love it.
The painted over blood angels symbol gave me visions of Lister in the intro credits to the first season of Red Dwarf painting the ship with the roller!
Tom ALMOST saying "Imperial Guard" before reminding himself that Games Workshop has rebranded everything to shit is so relatable.
What I love most about this is Lydia gets to see Tom show off his painting skills! I hope they do another video together on Tom's channel and a warhammer reference makes it in lol
Been loving your Warhammer content! So good to see people just having a great time and enjoying themselves wit the hobby
I love how Lydia went from "ugh, you nerd" when talking to Tom about Warhammer years ago, to actually enjoying this. Brilliant, more pls
Genuinely i would listen to a round table chat whilst you guys paint models. I've never done Warhammer models myself but this (and the video of you teaching lydia and ravs) was something i found oddly relaxing
I would love to give Gamblor a new home. Such a beautiful beast named after the gambling monster that enslaved Marge.
I too have old man eyes and have the exact same magnifier as Ben, I too don't look stylish with them on.
They are a godsend for those of us with old man eyes syndrome.
I love how lidia directly jumped into the imperial mindset when painting windows
Lydia did so good! Love that everyone was so supportive of her.
Everyone also did amazing job. I like Tom's the best.
Those close up shots of Big Lyds would absolutely make her motion sick.
gosh tom's model looks *fantastic*
This really games my night
She gamed my night until I rogaled my dorn
I have recently got back into miniature painting as a way to "handle my mental health" after twenty years it works.
Gawwd this video is so well made! The Yogs are really stepping up their game!
Big Lyds painting big minis. Always fun
I like how Lyds' windows have a kind of cell-shaded, comic book feel to them. They look sick!
honestly, the lore around the thunderhawk really made this. love the idea that they either defected or it somehow got stolen and defaced. also they had to replace the door and did a shoddy job with the hazard stripes because they didnt have time or something, lol.

RIP UK only for the giveaway :(
Lydia did a great job on her thunderhawk
Tom your tank looks mucho bueno, the chip marks came out great.
This might be my favorite Games Night video yet, it so cozy and fun. Great job all around. Cheers.
These videos have a lot of charm, I love them.
These Warhammer beginner videos have inspired me to try take up miniature painting as a hobby
Those base coated models look 1000x better than anything I ever tried to paint seriously.
How dare you keep Alex behind a paywall!
Lewis is so positive, looking forward to seeing the 6 hour prep video when I'm a member
Lydia's got that natural rp'er instinct, its great
They may joke about Ben's magnifiers but I bought a pair of those and it made painting so much more easier
Am i the only one happy when i see a sponsored video here? Makes me feel like the channel is healthy and i'm getting more content :D
All the models look SO GOOD! Proud of you all.
I absolutely love that fact that Lydia's going all in ! Even doing a freaking free hand ! I would never dare doing that and it's a shame, we paint to have fun.
The ultramarine land raider is a backwards Mark I tank and I cannot unsee it.
As somebody with 16 years of mini painting experience, Lydia is doing a great job for a beginner. Tell her we’re proud. Also she gave me a great idea to do a pinup on one of my ships lol
Last time i was doing Warhammer was 2008! That's a beautiful tank right there...
7:05 Tom is so pleased with himself after that sick burn, lol
reminds me of a late friend that i tried this with. he was very shy around my other friend, but it ended up being full of laughs and painted hands! couldn't recommend more!

Rattle cans are notoriously bad for this so I highly recommend using an airbrush for a priming and base coating a model like this to give a nice smooth surface.

With Ben doing so much for Games Night, I find it makes sense to declare our loyalty to our Benperor. All hail!!
Tom didn't do as much as I was expecting for a video starring him.
It's been really fun watching the start of Big Lyd's warhammer journey. I know basically nothing avout the game, and seeing her having fun with it is nice.
I could see it driving experienced players crazy, but that's fun too!
Thanks for the video!
Literally as soon as Lyds revealed the sexy alien I called her Gambolina.
Great minds and all that...
Tom did such a good job. His looks amazing!
This channel is incredible, the videos are just so much fun
love it, great work all! And the - as tom would put it - Ben-ism at the end was the cherry on the cake

Couldnt have imagined this more perfect! Lydia was amazing , im probably gonna memeber from this
