PLEASE tell me you didn't really throw that stuff out, it's really painful to see it go to waste when people (myself included) struggle to afford even the basics of this hobby.... 😯😟
My hubby lost 75% of his warhammer collection two weeks ago when someone firebombed our house. Garage completely gone, our storage area. Very sad. Insurance should be solid but he lost so minis that were 20+ years old.
I love how you actually found use in other hands for most of the stuff. Throwing stuff in the trash that you don't want, but isn't trash is just bad. There are enough people that want it.
I got into the hobby in March of this year and you were one the first miniature wargaming related youtubers I started watching. I know it hasn't been long but you're still my favorite I've found. I'm glad you're finding success doing what you love. Can't wait to see what the future holds for your channel and to finally order my squidmar brushes!
Hi Squidmar. I would love to see you do another tutorial on eyes but rather than using a bust like you usually do, use a 28mm or 30mm scale tabletop mini. I find the current tutorial on eyes to not be 100% practical for proper tabletop armies.
Weird place to say that, but from experience, the ficus in the storage room is potentially going to die over time due to not getting enough direct light.
As someone who's only 2 months into the hobby (plus my 16 year and 21 year old sons) I can only say that I've tried to absorb hours of your content to grow. We have loved watching you paint and describe techniques that we attempt and grow each time! If you need a home in the states for some of those feel free to ship them this way 🤣🤣🤣
@Jake A we get it your parents buy you anything you need. Get a life and stop trying to be a internet debutant.. “a closed mouth don’t get fed” ~ someone smarter than us.
Really liked seeing the “behind” the scenes with a tour of your studio. That was cool 😎! I like how you’re taking care of your back log by selling them or donating them. I have a drawer in my desk. It’s full. Until I make space in it, no more new models. It how I keep it down. Unfortunately between work, the Regiment and commissions, I haven’t touched it. Oh well! 😀. I would love to see how you actually run your studio over a normal work day. It would be interesting to see what is involved. Thanks again for sharing. Cheers 🍻
Great set up! Love that you gave away so many models to clubs and supporters - very cool. We were given a lot of help we our school club first started 21 years ago. Now we often give terrain, boards and minis to new school clubs as they start up.
Looks well... good to see folks getting on! - keep going. Your channel was a great encouragement to me when I was very ill a year and a half ago and I've watched your videos (and the previous ones) ever since - thank you for your help!
Bruh its crazy how everyone I see on the internet buys thousands of mini while I'm here buying around 3-5 sets a year and i'm like "yo how the fucc did you get that many stuff"
1 start a youtube channel 2 set up a patreon 3 get a shit load of fans 4 u should a make a little money with donations and that. 5 should have enough cash to buy what u want 6 but u probably got a job and no time to build and paint ,make videos ,get camera's do editing and that 7 ur gonna be damn too knackered to keep up the work rate and hours 8 but it was a good idea for u wanting to build a full 10.000pt army oh good luck if u try it
Budgeting. I just bought 2000 points of sons of behamet and imerpial knights. All built. Painting them now. Within a month. This is my only hobby though besides casual video games.
The numbers get huge because i've picked up a bunch of "clearing out the storage lots" where i see a few minis from factions i collect at very affordable prices. I end up using a fraction of it and selling off most. It happens i just havent been able to sell off and giveaway that stuff lately :)
This is so awe-inspiring. As someone who has been watching your videos and starting to get into painting (40k Primaris Infiltrators and the Command Edition) I must say, I can't wait to allow my collection to become as vast as yours. Thank you for the videos and congratulations on your hard-earned success. I look forward to seeing what's coming in the future!
I was just looking at those Alex drawers for my new hobby desk! Sweet to see how they look in your space before deciding if I wanted to get them for mine. Congratulations on the new space! Looking forward to more awesome videos.
Congratulations you do a great job of painting tutorials for beginners and experts. The new studio looks great I would do something similar in my new house once I move with the exception of all the lights and streaming gear because I’m not that advanced yet.
Really like how you engage the community and other creators. The support and showing people, like myself, how there are great sources to use for our hobby. Thanks much.
I’m doing this now. Feels so good to get rid of all the chaff! Cleaner place to work. Feel like I want to do the hobby again. If you’re in a hobby slump, clean house. You won’t regret it and make some cash 👍🏻👍🏻
Its inspiring watching were your channel has started and we're it's at now, I hope to make this my career one day too but feel like I'm years away from getting there. Keep up the great work and I'll see you on the platform one day 😉👍
Suidmar you are Talented and a great personality, also many people share your passion, brother keep on having fun, sharing your skill, and keep the faith.
You almost committed a murder with this one, Squidmar. Answering a stack of $100 bills in the SquareSpace spotlight made me choke on my sandwich. Love your set up!
Love the space! A quarter of that would is the lamest I could hope for! 😄 You said you were selling miniatures, where are you posting them? My collection isn't big enough and in need of refreshing.
What do you use to attach your lights to the ceiling? I'm hoping to set up a studio in the not too distant future but can't find how to set up a flexible lighting rig on the ceiling...
@@SquidmarMiniatures thanks for the reply! Yeah, that's the lattice things, but I more meant the actual rails they're then attached to? It might just be a proper lighting truss/ rig? I'm just looking for any way to avoid lighting having to take up floor space :)
Have you seen how many people support his Patreon? He ain't hurtin'. Not to mention the $$$ he made in media production, there was a pretty good nest egg there.
Over the space of 2 years, I've gone from owning/using a paint tray/organizer on my lap to now having hundreds of paints & a specially built spray shed with 3D printers and all sorts of gizmos & gadgets (still no room for dioramas or a proper gaming table tho XD). It's too easy to get lost in the world of miniatures
Aw, I remember watching your video about collecting Hero Quest and getting excited about playing with your kids. Sad to see it go! Hopefully the next owner has just as much fun with it. The best part about Hero Quest is sharing it!
Hi, maybe im dumb, but i cant find it anywhere ... is there a chance of buying a painted mini of yours? doesnt need to be something fuzzy, just an goblin or so? Would love to have a mini from you in my showcase at home
awe man you gave away the space crusade set ? I would so love to get that again . I just had to dump the contents of my old set as it got water damaged in storage and all the card content and rule books where destroyed. plus the mini's from it where long gone
OMG How can I get the Heroquest stuff??? I am 47 and that was my first dive into fantasy miniatures. I would LOVE to reconnect to that long ago beginning.
@@SquidmarMiniatures Thanks so much. I will check it out. Also your vids are great! The creativity you and your friends have is super entertaining and I love that it is a regular thing in the ad reads. I never skip them because of the quality. If I ever get to a level that companies are willing to pay me to rep their products I will try to do the same as you and make them unique. Thanks for the entertainment and I will keep watching your channel grow.
Don't have a collection of my own but always wanted to try paint some after watching your videos. If you got any leftovers, feel free to some some my way :D
Very cool! I'm in awe of how much room in your living quarters you dedicate to the hobby/work/life! Great stuff. And very inspirational for myself. I really, really, REALLY need to purge stuff, lol. My pile of shame is quite vast. VAST I TELL YOU! Ral Partha miniatures from the 80s vast! Lol! Looking forward to future videos as usual.
Do a video on underworlds!!! How to play, how to paint, your favorite warband! I got into it because of your nightvault minis nmm job which inspired me to do nmm. Thanks Squidmar!

he did throw away a sprue with bits still on it...
@@ThatGuy-eu2vt Why do you have to be that guy...
That studio is sooo goood!! I love it. Be careful with those cracks in your beautiful table though! I'd lose so many bits :-)

Why dont you buy them? Begging is not becoming.
@@jakea3950 I'll absolutely buy them, although why you chose to attack me out of the hundreds of other similar comments here is beyond me.

really is :)

The secret is credit cards and not painting said minis.
Other people when I walk through the lunch line
1 start a youtube channel
2 set up a patreon
3 get a shit load of fans
4 u should a make a little money with donations and that.
5 should have enough cash to buy what u want
6 but u probably got a job and no time to build and paint ,make videos ,get camera's do editing and that
7 ur gonna be damn too knackered to keep up the work rate and hours

Honestly this guy would make a killing if he just signed this stuff and auctioned it all on eBay for one day.
I really hope this stuff got donated somewhere :(
@@bluenine85 for real. he could have went to the local game store and said HERE . give one to every customer.
amazing tour ^^ i've been looking for this video! the backdrop of your videos and the painting table to the right is really gorgeous
The new setup looks great! So organized and well laid out! Love your videos, can’t wait to get into painting my first model.
cheers mate

If you ever need to find homes for minis, there are some awesome charities like Models for Heroes that are always happy to get donations.

Dont throw out your bits. Send them to Kitbashers like meeee :D
I just spent a bunch on buying random bit boxes off ebay haha.
Really cool to see behind the scenes. Hopefully this will motivate me to get off my backside and sell some unwanted stuff too!

Thanks 😊
"I'm throwing out 1000's of Warhammer items and you won't BELIEVE why!"
how can i buy some of those tau minis?
The ceiling rail system for the lighting is crazy! Such a good idea to reduce the clutter and looks easy to adjust. Thanks for all you do!
As someone just starting back into the painting of Minis + Models after a 20 + year Hiatus, I would love to get some of your Back log.
Cool setup, I'm a bit curious about the rail system for the lights, what is it called?
Squidmar make my dreams come true and send some minis to South Africa I'll paint whatever you send!!!!
Can't wait to see a full your and hear about those hanging lights. Epic set-up
I saw at least one space in that office that would look awesome with a @nerdforge mural on it. Now that would be an awesome collaboration!
Great video. Really excited for you and your business. Congratulations.
I love what you're doing. It's awesome you're able to bring on your friends, who are also amazing painters in their own right.
Suidmar you are Talented and a great personality, also many people share your passion, brother keep on having fun, sharing your skill, and keep the faith.
"millions of people watching me have fun with plastic toys" alright then i thought i was on youtube
What an awesome studio! Absolutely amazing!
how does the review printer thing work? do you get to keep them? if you don't make a vid (for whatever reason) do you have to send them back?
Wow having your whole studio items with Amazon affiliate links just so smart man !
You almost committed a murder with this one, Squidmar. Answering a stack of $100 bills in the SquareSpace spotlight made me choke on my sandwich.

any tips for starting a tau battlesuit army

Aw, I remember watching your video about collecting Hero Quest and getting excited about playing with your kids. Sad to see it go! Hopefully the next owner has just as much fun with it. The best part about Hero Quest is sharing it!
Still got myself a copy of the expansions and original. This was doubles
ah, I misunderstood. In any case, congratulations on cleaning up the pile of shame! Minis don't want to sit unpainted in boxes.
That number decrease from 2104 to 2103 had my gut hurting, for some reason it just tickled my funny bone lol
hahaha
I saw my Silent King multiple times in the video, can't wait until I get to see what you do with him.
So where is the list of minis we can buy?
This dude really just made cleaning interesting, I dont know how he does it
Haha, sort of lol
Hi, maybe im dumb, but i cant find it anywhere ... is there a chance of buying a painted mini of yours? doesnt need to be something fuzzy, just an goblin or so? Would love to have a mini from you in my showcase at home

been sent off already sorry

where do you sell your mini's? ebay? or?
where can i buy your bits?

I think they're IKEA Billy bookshelves, can you confirm Emil?

4:45 this is a certified Nurgle moment.
what is the music of the intro ?
What a difference! I know it's hard to depart with your minis, but when you have triples or quadruples it might be a good idea...!!!
When come help me get organized haha. I keep doing this and end up with more minis and boxes
Are you able to buy some of his minis? is there a link?
I forgot the Golf rules, but squidmar has got to be on the Dana Howl leaderboard now... Right?!
