The joy I get each week when a new episode of TPP drops is hard to explain - but honestly, it's great just hearing you all chat, have a laugh etc - no point to make here, beyond just keep up the excellent work chaps!
@@thepaintingphase Thank you kindly! One day I hope I can sit in that room with you three and chat nonsense... Might try and snag myself a few GD trophies first :D
I don't recall if it was this video where Ross rants about 3D printers and ventilation, but please keep pushing this issue. Coming from other hobbies and professional spaces which require ventilation, holy shite is it wild how impractical some 3D printers are for setting up ventilation which leads outside when it would be so easy to have it as a borderline plug n play feature
When mixing with a brush in cup you may have a hair or dry paint pushed up on and blocked exit nossle. Try pulling needle in and out with cleaner while spraying to losen the build up in nossle
The battle for skulls pass had single piece miniatucouldunless you consider the base a second piece. You could just cut them out and slot them into the bases.
I always use at least a 2:1 thinner to Pro-Acryl. It's such a heavily pigmented paint, you'll still get great coverage - and the time it takes to do a second layer is much less than the time to clean out a clog.
Ross is 100% right about hard to get into beginner headspace/technique! I say this a Jiujitsu all the time. Hard to get a black belt to give you blue belt side control 💀💀💀
Regarding the mixing ratio for Pro Acryl paints, I had the exact same problem as Geoff did. I followed the 1:1 recommendation from Warrick's video and had clogging issues on the Ultra. After some trail and error, I've settled on a rough 1:2 (paint to thinner) ratio, and if that's too thin and runs I'll put one more drop of paint into the mixture. I also found it helpful to drop the PSI a bit from his recommendation. It seemed to be blasting the paint out so forcefully that it was bouncing off the surface.
I completely sympathize on the airbrush learning curve. I know for myself that when I started learning, I was consistently having all sorts of difficulties on account of my paint consistency being too thick. For the majority of my spraying, I tend to use a Badger 105, which is pretty durable and forgiving, if less precise than other brushes. Even there, some paints and materials still are a problem- specifically Stynylrez black primer, which consistently turns into road tar and entirely gums up the works in less than a minute no matter how I thin it..
Don Suartos thinning sauce changed the game for me Vallejo thinner and Vallejo flow improver 2 to 1. I started mixing in a cup outside the airbrush which helped until i figured out the paint consistency. Milk. You want it it thinner than you think. I too did the take it apart over and over thing, but it clicked for me.
A few things about kill team, I have the starter here. The learn to play is very well structured, the scenery is actually very impressive, would love GW to make more MDF terrain and I get bored painting the plastic. The playing mat is actually thick card, double sided, not paper. Great video though guys!
I literally spent the weekend fighting my airbrush with AK paints and felt just as fed up as Geoff, thanks for the great video and advice, I will try again this weekend with some Vallejo Air paints :D
Another enjoyable show, I do like this - great for either watching with focus or a background to chores/hobby. :-) I've just started reading Penitent too, on Kindle though, not an audio book - so I might still be reading this during Sanguinalia at my usual rate. I often want to dabble with airbrushes but reckon I'd have a similar experience to Geoff. I don't anticipate or expect to be good at it to start with, but it does sound like a lot of faffing around - constant cleaning if you're changing colours, blockages, getting the pressure wrong and splattering a model... nope, sticking with my furry twigs. I think I'd be similar with 3D printing (if time, money and space weren't issues), very glad there's printing services (and friends with 3D printers) out there! Trench Crusade does look awesome! I've been liking Kirioth's read throughs of lore and exolorations of the model ranges for it.
Regarding those special models: unless GW explicitly says they will be writing game rules in the specific game that I play, then I always assume they will never ever get rules, Legends or otherwise. In fact, even when GW says they are writing rules, I refuse to believe them and just assume GW is lying straight to my face! Until the rules are in my hand, there are no rules and never will be any rules.
I think there is a better, less expensive, introduction to Warhammer 40K. "Combat Arena: Lair of the Beast" 13 models, dice, cards, game board, tokens, ect. 34.99 US/~ 33 EUR / ~ 27 GBP. It is essentially a scaled down version of "Blackstone Fortress". I just found out about it recently, had to sit down for a bit and consider my life choices when finding out that 13 40K models could actually be sold by GW for an extremely reasonable price.
I wrote this before getting to the part in the cast when you talk about these box games. But I stand by the idea that this particular box game is very well done.
Fireteam is also close to a Kill Team-lite; Has no scenery BUT: 18 miniatures, Game board, 14 Dice, 22 Datacards, 6 Strategem cards, Mission cards, Target of Opportunity cards, Wargear cards, Special Op's cards, loads of card tokens (Not a sheet of wound tokens you have to cut out).
I used a gaahleri advanced ghad-68 as I have carpal tunnel, fibromyalgia and osteopenia so can't use a regular airbrush as my fingers lock up after about 5 minutes, they're trigger is Infront of the handle more like an automotive paint gun , it's still dual action and I can use it for alot longer
This entire episode entirely vindicates my reason for never wanting to invest in an airbrush. I don't want to spend hundreds of quid on something that isn't going to work how I want it to.
Ross, talk to jay at eons of battle, he does some uv resin and the blue heat goo casting for bits. Im sure he can help you with tips for those breast plates 👍🏼
Don't go by ratio. Look at how Angel Giraldez thins his paint. It should run down the side of the cup like SKIM milk. It's more about the consistency of the paint than a recipe. Keep in mind paint that has sat out and evaporated some medium might be thicker and need more thinning. The paint in the cup should still be semi opaque, but it should run down the side of the cup really quickly and thinly.
What's the starch/protein combo for an English pig-in-blanket? Because my wife makes a soft-pretzel wrapped bratwurst that's to die for - but I'm happy to branch out and try something new.
52:59 So, Fun Fact: The rage Monopoly incites in people is an intended feature, not a bug. It's based on an earlier game called The Landlord's Game. From the Wikipedia page for The Landlord's Game: "In 1902 to 1903, Magie designed the game[2] and playtested it in Arden, Delaware.[3] The game was created to be a "practical demonstration of the present system of land grabbing with all its usual outcomes and consequences". She based the game on the economic principles of Georgism, a system proposed by Henry George, with the object of demonstrating how rents enrich property owners and impoverish tenants. She knew that some people could find it hard to understand why this happened and what might be done about it, and she thought that if Georgist ideas were put into the concrete form of a game, they might be easier to demonstrate. Magie also hoped that when played by children the game would provoke their natural suspicion of unfairness, and that they might carry this awareness into adulthood."
Darktide is in a solid spot. Feels a bit more grimdark IMO that SM2. Hoping the PS release brings some new hype. When are we getting BlackChaliceStudios or Nate from The Feral Painter on the show to talk about Grimdark Compendium?
This video is incredible! The content is beautifully crafted and I enjoy watching it regularly. For SEO, consider adding more targeted keywords in the title and description to help attract a wider audience-great work overall!
Game in Surrey quays bermondsey London has miniatures from DND I bought human monk and dryder for £20 and they were reduced to that price, I bought blokees bumblebee model gunpla Push fit and epic encounters. Epic encounters was the bargain as it was £20 and it has 20 miniatures in it to paint, I paid by card then forgot,about a week after I got my bank statement and I see the direct sports payment and thought I wasn't in direct sports and nearly called my bank , I carried on looking at my statement and couldn't see the game card payment and worked out the direct sports payment was game
Have a bit of an off topic comment regarding TH-cam ads. I have no idea if the uploaded has any say in this but the density of ads on this video was crazy. I counted 7 in a 35 minute period. I get you guys need revenue and TH-cam is trying to push Premium but if you have any control over this please consider toning this down.
Anycubic Kobra neo 2 and photon mono 2 have been good to me and their slicing programs are straightforward,I used laptop for vauxhall diagnostic programme opcom and music production and that's it that laptop is staying on win 8 because those programs cost more than a new laptop 😂 I use a thinkpad running win 10 for my photon and kobra slicing programs, i will update all my equipment at a later stage ,i. Have fep release film in my photon, I've not had any print fails on my photon mono 2 I use anycubic alcohol clean resin and creality water washable resin in it , only had to zero it once and have moved it around since putting it in it's semi permanent position and it still hasn't failed
Patrick is onto something, I have told my dad not to buy into 4k physical discs as 12k dvds will come out in the next yr or 2. Ross thank you for fauxhammer and thanks to all of you for the painting phase 👍 nice one lads
Come on guys, it’s common sense exactly why the magazines all have an extra model. First value, with no scenery, it makes the magazine saving look more feasible for a sub. Second, gateway. Yes you have a CP to play those games, but (much like adding premium), you now have extra models - why not carry on and build a full army. Obviously aren’t going to change the rules to be worse or expect people to turn up with extra models vs others.
That kill team starter set is brilliant. It not only is quick set up, but it also under cut scalpers with reprinting of limited models 🎉

Haven’t laughed so much as I did to the start of the airbrush segment, keep this up. Silver bullet 😂
Thanks so much for enjoying my rage - Geoff

Don't have a clue about Warhammer other than the 40K video games.
I'm here for the chats and banter.

Bequin voice actor is so good. Fantastic books.
Thanks and sympathy re the howl of pain in learning airbrushing ... it made me feel a lot better given my last attempt.
We’re in it together Brother - Geoff

Great reply. Sorry about getting the mat wrong.

The motor burns out faster on compressors without tanks because they are always running. Whoever said there is no difference is full of something.

Geoff mentioned Infinity before, any content planned for that?
It wasn’t but I’m prepared to shout for it, in our next meeting.
Okay, just a thought, Geoff are you are you setting the needle to far forward blocking the air flow to the front?

When you start an episode with absolute certainty you will come out wiser that when you went in

Barwell airbrush supplies do airbrush lessons up by you, I've consider going to up my game.
Thanks so much for that info.

Thinning paint to the consistency of milk discourse was bad enough, I don't know that I'll survive if it has to start being specific types of milk

Thinning paints.. you just gotta eyeball it until it feels right and keep testing it. There is absolutely no science to it.

I want a resin 3D printer. I just don't want all the extra bullshit it comes with.
Sexy spam returns! These scammers must paint minis between scams 😮
It's the only way to afford them 🥲
Will any of you guys be picking up Halo Flashpoint at the end of the month?
Possibly, might just pick up the chief model to have a stab at.
