  • THIS is what Warhammer is! Here's a glimpse of my Chaos Space marines army. I, MiniWarGamer Dave, take you on a journey of how my collection grew from 1 miniature into thousands over the course of 14 years. In total, I have 144,000 pts of Chaos Space Marines.
    Huge thanks to the following channels for being an inspiration and my friends (in no particular order):
    Baldermort - for lending his epic voice for the narrative portion of this video. See his TH-cam channel here: / @baldermort
    Play On Tabletop - for comparing notes and being the BEST t-shirt company in all the wargaming industry! & Tak for cooking me dinner and letting me sleep in his spare bedroom. / playontabletop
    WintersSEO - for being fluent in the language of banter and always putting a smile on my face! / wintersseo
    Liam Dempsey - For being unapologetic in his awesomeness and for bringing the community together. / liamdempsey40k
    The Warmistress - For being my sis and allowing me to call her names that show I really love her as a person and friend. (you know the one Tanya) / tanyagates
    Duncan Rhodes - for teaching the true ways of becoming a painter of miniatures, making the hobby approachable, and always applying "two thin coats." / duncanrhodespaintingac...
    MidWinter Minis - Guy, for cooking me haggis and inspiring me to make more engaging videos. / midwinterminis
    SkaredCast - Skari, for being a force of nature and teaching me the fun that is had through competitive play. / skaredcast
    Vanguard Tactics - Stephen Box, for having big muscles, coaching me on my journey to Chaos Rising and being a source of positive health in the community. / vanguardtactics
    Tabletop Minions - Uncle Atom, for knowing all the things, being hilarious when filming b-roll, and being a source of wisdom and insight. / tabletopminions
    Wargamer Girl - Miranda & Tommy, for loving the art of filmmaking and collaborating with me to create videos that showcase the fun surrounding the tabletop. / wargamergirl
    CGN - Aaron Straus, for making it possible to create a movie that changed my life and allowed me to fulfill a childhood dream. AND for being good at making me laugh. / coolguyswhositathome
    The Glacial Geek - Phil, for being my cousin and being willing to spill a box of Timbits. / theglacialgeek
    Tom Schubbe - for being my go-to guy for all things awesome and chaos and teaching me the art of accepting gifts of chaos when offered by a bull driving a tank. I'd be remiss not to mention Scott as well who is of equal epicness and generosity.
    Gaz - You know I love you, buddy. German sets for the win!!!!
    General Kraig Moise - never change brother! Your story about how you bonded with your sons playing Warhammer has always touched my heart. "No, YOU"RE crying!" :
    BoardGameManiacs - Rob, for IR26, haho shisho, and enabling me to make movies and be myself. / boardgamemaniacs
    OnTableTop - Warren, for marching with us in the beginning and forging our fates through this epic hobby, and for taking me and my wife to the Devil's Organ. / ontabletop
    TableTop Tactics - Lawrence, for making good life choices, visiting me in my hotel room late one night at LVO and doing an impromptu Livestream with me, and being a gamechanger of batrep vids. / tabletoptactics
    TableTop Titans - for showing us the way to do epic live battle reports! / tabletoptitans
    Maverickspaint - for being a true friend and bouncing ideas around while also making kick-ass painting videos. / mavericknicolson
    Miniac - Scott, for showing how to make TH-camr vids as a wargamer. And for being freaking hilarious. Your delivery instantly makes me happy when I hear your voice. / miniac
    Ninjon - Jon, for showing me how to craft a story while taking people on a visual journey. / ninjon
    Squidmar - Emil, for raising the bar. Hands down. For being supportive and humble and encouraging other channels to reach their potential. For constantly innovating and trying new ideas. / squidmarminiatures
    52 Miniatures - Alex, for making short films wrapped in wargaming videos. Seriously brother, everything you make is dynamite and it's mind-blowing.
    Games Workshop - for being the ones who started it all!!! / gamesworkshopwnt
    AND to Matthew, my business partner. None of this is possible without you.
    Apparently, I've reached my 5000 character limit in this description which is sad because I want to thank so many more channels and people.

Pirated PDF rulebooks are available if you're willing to look for them, and generally my gaming group has taken to playing smaller games with the Kill-Team HoR fan expansion using the 7th Ed core rulebook(the last legit book I bought from GW).

    it was the best time of my life, all thanks to some plastic models

    The first model i ever built was scratchbuilt and kitbashed, an Achilles Ridgerunner and a trukk combined with plasticard and sprue spikes and wheels, lego tracks, and hair rollers turned into a deff rolla for one of the coolest bonebreakas ive ever seen. I was so proud of myself.
