Believe my last comments got deleted because of my store link 😅 Nice video. I loved your use of light blue and the paint scheme for the fountain guard. For those interested, there is a free army list for this army compatible with warmaster revolutions on my gumroad.
Ah that explains it! Thank you, Im really glad you like the video and the paint scheme, the fountain guard are my favourite of your sculpts. They're all amazing tbf. I will be checking out that army list myself :)
😄 🤣 I was in my garden in 30degree heat in that helmet. I had to colour grade out my tomato red face. John has the orc side of the skit on his video. Be cool to do a skit with you at some point! Really enjoyed doing the voice one for the dwarf video. Hope your projects are going well!
This sums up why I always loved the Epic Scale 40k (back in the day). I used to see people skirmishing with 20 dudes and a tank around a ruined church and thinking.... 'Thats not an 'army' mate, give me a thousand dudes...and a titan, thats an army!'. Plus, like you, I used to love trying to get as much detail as possible in to those tiny tiny miniatures!
Yeah my sentiments exactly! this definitely begins to scratch that SCALE itch. Ah finally someone with my detail oriented madness, that's ace! thank you for watching and commenting! 🙏🙂
Ah thank you 😊 🙏 I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment 😊 Just searched up your channel! Looks amazing... subbed. That's my day sorted!
This was a very fast subscribe. You're genuinely hilarious, I feel like so many channels fail with the comedy, especially skits but this hits my sensibilities right on.
Brilliant job, I'm a fan of MESBG and used to like Warmaster. One bit of advice for anyone painting a Warmaster army is to only paint the front of the front rank and back of the back rank on each base, and just do the tops of the obverse sides. It saves loads of time and you won't even see the legs on the "inside" of the bases.
Also a very epic video! glad the algorithm brought me here! respect man. youve got my like and subscribe here from Middle Earth itself (New Zealand ) haha
Ah wow, the over shoulder view is high praise indeed, thank you for watching, rewatching and commenting 😊 I really appreciate it! So glad you enjoyed it!
Wow soooo much effort put into each detail! Insane mate! I would of fallen to madness like denethor doing even half of what you did 😂 Great vid as always 👍
Every time I find myself in the middle of a Maddeningly Tedious piece of work like this… I try to remind myself that This Work is literally what makes the end result unique, rare, and the extreme Quality that gives it real value!
28mm gaming just cannot compete with the satisfaction that comes from a small scale large army on the tabletop. Especially linear warfare like your beautiful army! Good job
To paint the trees on the shields you could use piece of sponge or leather to just dab the paint. Much faster. To apply the little grass tufts, use tweezers. To make every step easier, use magnifying lenses or glasses. Also, if you had stuck to the canon colours, it all would be much easier, so you dug yourself into a hole there.
Thank you 😊 🙏 I'm really glad you enjoyed it and appreciated the push through. I think alot of the hobby is trying things for the first time and persevering through the inevitable road blocks. It's what gets me out of bed every day. Hope your having a good day and enjoying your hobbies and interests.
Welcome to Warmaster! Legit the best game GW's ever put out, in my opinion. Feels like no other. You're going to love it - especially with an army as good looking as this one.
@@TheWizardsBrushPsyched! Syked is getting done over by someone with a common Huddersfield surname. And it's 'expedite' - no a in the middle. ('Wanker!') Please kick me. Great vid, and terrific looking army (as you know). All best.
😄 🤣 right you are, forgive my slightly dyslexic lack of correct spelling and grammar. I googled the Huddersfield thing 😄 Who needs spell check when I have you. Ah thank you 😊 🙏 I really appreciate it!
@@TheWizardsBrush, Warmaster is a really enjoyable game. Have fun with it! Unless you swerve to War of the Ring with a couple of minor additions for basing - also a stand-out game.
That skit about guarding the toilets is halarious! Ive also wondered how do they workout who guards the beacons. especially the ones at mountain tops Lol! imagine joining the Gondorian army just to be sent to guard a pile of wood in the middle of nowhere. when Pippin lights the first beacon the rest must double check themselves in disbelief. random rant haha
😄 🤣 it is supposed to be a great honour to guard the beacons... or at least that's what they tell them. Yeah then pippin went straight to the royal toilets and did a similar thing... some guards are getting thier pay docked.
Years ago I made a Macedonian/Seleucid army for Warmaster Ancients in 6mm scale. It’s still one of my favorite armies to display and look at - almost 100 soldiers in a single tightly packed phalanx unit just gives you a sense of scale on a completely different level! Really loved seeing a LOTR army at this scale! Also enjoyed your sense of humor. Glad I got recommended this video!
That sounds amazing! how many overall in the army? Yeah I'm really enjoying LOTR at this scale, thank you🙏 I really appreciate you watching and commenting.
@@TheWizardsBrush Army looks something like: 6 units of Phalanx 2 units of medium infantry 1 unit of Hoplites 3 units of cavalry 4 units of assorted skirmishers Couple of command units It’s pretty close to 1000 mini miniatures in what would be the equivalent of a medium sized Warhammer army! Sounds like hell to paint, but 6mm is actually quite forgiving and easy to make it look good! Though I did also get sick of painting brown, just like you. Too many spears!
I have a serious amount of respect for you for persevering with this after your priming disaster. I would have chucked the lot in the bin and written the project off.
@toby4970 thank you! 🙂 You can get stl files for a bunch of factions on Wakes emporium if you have or know someone with a 3d printer (link in my description) I'm just getting into it, I was introduced to it by Jmac (Jmac Armies of Arda, checkout his channel) there are a few rules sets. The ones I would like to try are Warmaster and Pique
They all look SOOOO good! All those little details just add up hey, amazing! Love the basing in particular, and those tufts of grass looked like a nightmare, but so worth! One point tho, what happens when they have to fight on stone or in the sand?? Going to have to redo all their bases to get rid of the grass?? haha
Thank you 😊 🙏 Yeah I've since been using tweesers for the tufts, helps immensely. 😄 🤣 the thought of changing the bases for every different setting hurts my brain 😄 👏 I really appreciate your sub 🙏 I've been asked a few times and I am considering a battle report of some kind yes
@@TheWizardsBrush haha indeedy. And yeah, defs keen to see you kick the bearded mates ass! haha. Does he have a channel? Would be keen to see how his painting went.
Hugely enjoyable video mate, definitely got yourself a subscriber and a like from this. Also made me really want to get back to painting my SAGA warband tbh...
@@TheWizardsBrush So it's a historical rule set for dark ages/medieval skirmishes, mainly using Gripping Beast miniatures. I actually stumbled onto them through a mixture of Warhammer Fantasy dying right as I was going to get back into it, and 40K being just a *tad* pricey.
10mm is a nice size :) I decided after I started a force for Balin's Expedition, that it would be way cooler to do them in 10mm, basically base them individually on 20mm bases, so using the same rules and measurements etc. but it means I can make the scenery of Moria look absolutely huge, without actually having to build a new room onto my house...
Nice work, I admire your commitment! One thing I have found useful is to try and identify which parts of the model are hardest to reach with a brush and paint those areas first. It doesn't really matter too much if you get paint on other areas at this stage as they adjacent areas will be painted over at a later stage. I generally first try painting a single section/ group to completion (as a 'prototype'), then apply the lessons learned during that process to the rest of the batch-painted army.
Well said, starting with the spears for instance might have been better using that method. I could have spent more time on the prototype stage for them, would have helped. Thank you for watching and commenting 😊 🙏
Wow, awesome video ! To complete your Gondorian army, you should also checked the 10mm rangers sold buy Rok minis and also the Rohan 10mm (I started a 10mm middle earth project few months ago with the wakes emporium and completed the army with other brands). Hope you will do a battle report vid with jmacc Mordor orcs army!
Yep! The humidity lesson. We all learn it at some point. For me it was with 18mm AB Napoleonic Spanish miniatures. Little tiny globules of primer all over the minis. What happened? Ohhh, humidity.
Thank you! it was very tedious but... when they are on the table it does seem to add to the overall detail and coherence. At least that's what I tell myself!
Great job, might try out 10mm lotr myself. Btw, holy shit thank you for making the mistake with priming in humid weather. For over 10 years of painting miniatures I've had no idea this could happen, now I know to be careful xD
Thank you 😊 🙏 Yeah I thought I would include that to save anyone else the pain 😬 however one person in the comments here said that it was most likely the primer itself (it is a cheap primer) and that humidity should help rather than hinder. There are conflicting reports on this subject
Something about epic scaled stuff is just appealing. Not just the scale of the battles but also the ability to field physical armies. Love to see more of this stuff.
Great video! In the future, have them printed with a 5mm gap and light supports at an angle, don't cure them with supports, with hot water and the right settings they peel off like butter! But then you have to cure them.
Really funny intro, chapeau. And I'm german, we do know real good humor if we see it, for us humor is a serious thing! What is the language the redhead is speaking? Some dialect of Khuzdul? I need a Babel Fish...oh wait, wrong Book... Awesome Vid, thanks for that. I'm curious for more! Have a nice day
Hallo! Thank you 😊 🙏 I'm glad you enjoy the humour, I do like spending a ridiculous amount of time obsessing over skits. More vids coming soon, Einen schönen Tag noch!
I love this. I've been testing epic scale on my FDM printer and they come out good so I'm working on getting some armies together and getting them printed
At that scale I prime by hand with a large brush... It's quite quick with a fairly large brush and I never get any issues that require me to strip the paint off and start again.
Excellent work (and a funny, informative and well-produced video). A 10mm Top-Tip though mate (probs too late now though in fairness) - concentrate on the front of one rank and the rear of the other, as the opposite sides of both won't be seen when they are based and so any time spent painting them is a waste (thinking here of things like the shields and such on any of the wee chaps that are in the rear rank and not at one end). Love, A Warmaster player of 20+ years
Thank you! 😊🙏 I hear ya, Definitely a different beast to what I'm used to at 28-32mm. Bit of a learning curve for sure, overall I enjoyed it though and can't wait to do more. I think I will be taking a much more efficient aproach next time so will be taking all this on board. Especially from someone as knowledgeable as yourself. What armies have you got? I am very much looking forward to learning the game!
@@TheWizardsBrush I've got Chaos and High Elves in the original GW metals (and a small Undead army from before they split them off to Tomb Kings and Vampire Counts). I've also got a shit tonne of Cromarty and Forest Dragon STLs that I'm hoarding (I've become as bad with STLs as I am with physical models now). I've also got some 10mm historicals (Aurthurian) for use with a set of rules called Dux Bellorum - I've got early Saxons and Romano British in 10mm. I'm pretty keen on the scale.
Wow! That all sounds amazing 👏 and I bet it all looks incredible laid out! Oh god yeah I'm hoarding so much stuff, my problem is that I think its all cool and I have a little bit of everything.
Bought dark elf about 20 years ago and really loved them, but friends stopped playing or moved away. So no one to play with and only owned one army, now with 3d printing we can i can have all the armies ive dreamed of and have a spare to lend when i have guests who wants to play.
A tip for fine detail work. I nicked the tweezers from my computer tool kit. What makes them better is they are spring loaded shut so that you have to squeeze to open them. Which means you can focus on getting stuff into place without having to keep the pressure up on the grip. Makes things a little easier and faster for placing detailed stuff on models, bases or what ever.
I find painting a “Kill Team” awesomely tedious - can’t believe your amazing effort. Now that’s done - how about the Battle of Helms Deep in 10mm (both sides plus the Keep and mountain), ypu know, just for something to do on a lazy sunday afternoon ? 😜 Seriously, amazing work with such tiny detail 😁🇦🇺👍
Honestly all painting has a small (or large) amount of tedium built in, its worth it though in the end. Oh god, what are you trying to do to me 😂 Great idea. maybe. hmmm. it would be epic. damn you. doable in a casual 4000 afternoons. Cheers for watching and commenting! 🙂
😄 🤣 ah th hobby. I didn't think of it like that when I was making it but yeah I see that 🤣 who knew that 64k people would listen to me moan for half an hour. thank you 😊 🙏
I love this video. Sometimes the YT algorithm does me a solid. Your comedy is gold, however, when we got to the edit of the Gondor soldier chucking 'his neighbours extension' on the trebuchet, I absolutely fuckin lost it XD Top notch sir
Awesome! I've had an absolutely terrible experience with army painter spray primer. I heard they were supposed to be quite good but I'm definitely not going anywhere near them again. Never had these issues with Citadel spray primers, or even off the shelf stuff like Krylon.
😄 🤣 I'm glad have awoken something in you... enjoy! There's definitely easterlings available, I don't know if there's harad yet on wakes, but I think there are other proxies available 😀
Believe my last comments got deleted because of my store link 😅

Thank you! it was very tedious but... when they are on the table it does seem to add to the overall detail and coherence. At least that's what I tell myself!
@@TheWizardsBrush it definitely does. The full force looked unreal at the end. V excited to see what you do with the heroes
They look incredible, well done!
Thank you 😊 🙏 I really appreciate it
Great job, might try out 10mm lotr myself. Btw, holy shit thank you for making the mistake with priming in humid weather. For over 10 years of painting miniatures I've had no idea this could happen, now I know to be careful xD
Thank you 😊 🙏 Yeah I thought I would include that to save anyone else the pain 😬 however one person in the comments here said that it was most likely the primer itself (it is a cheap primer) and that humidity should help rather than hinder. There are conflicting reports on this subject
Something about epic scaled stuff is just appealing. Not just the scale of the battles but also the ability to field physical armies. Love to see more of this stuff.
Yeah I agree, I will defo be doing more!
Criminally underrated channel
Ah thank you 😊 🙏
really enjoyed your video. 10mm is such a great size for table top gaming.
Thank you 🙏 Yeah I agree, im loving it so far! just looking at the army every day is satisfying cos of the size of it.
Fantastic job, man 😄
Thank you 😊 🙏
I didnt know Jamie Dornan loved wargaming! Epic video!
😄 🤣 do I look like him? Thank you 😊 🙏
Yes it was worth it. So cool! Thanks for sharing this process!
Ah thank you 🙏 I really appreciate you watching and commenting 😊
Amazing work, amazing video and amazing army!😱😱😱
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it 😊
Love seeing the Jordan Sorcery videos playing while you work
Oh yeah Jordans Vids are on constantly while I work, so good! 😊
Great video! In the future, have them printed with a 5mm gap and light supports at an angle, don't cure them with supports, with hot water and the right settings they peel off like butter! But then you have to cure them.
Thank you!! 😊 Agreed, definitely the best way! I didn't print these myself. My printer is out of action atm unfortunately.
I really enjoyed this and probably will do this in the future. Gotta finish my current dol amroth pile of shame first lol
Thank you 😊 🙏 oh yes the pile of shame, we all have one! Yeah it is really satisfying.
Really funny intro, chapeau.
And I'm german, we do know real good humor if we see it, for us humor is a serious thing!
What is the language the redhead is speaking? Some dialect of Khuzdul? I need a Babel Fish...oh wait, wrong Book...
Awesome Vid, thanks for that. I'm curious for more!
Have a nice day
Hallo! Thank you 😊 🙏
I'm glad you enjoy the humour, I do like spending a ridiculous amount of time obsessing over skits.
More vids coming soon, Einen schönen Tag noch!
Great WORK! Can't wait for the battle report!
Thank you! 🙏oooh yeah may end up doing a battle report, I know Jmac has at least one on his channel 🙂
I love this. I've been testing epic scale on my FDM printer and they come out good so I'm working on getting some armies together and getting them printed
Thank you! 🙏😊 Ah ok cool, so they come ok on fdm at that scale?
Wakesemporium makes some great stuff
Yeah really like how close to the peter Jackson versions they are!
At that scale I prime by hand with a large brush... It's quite quick with a fairly large brush and I never get any issues that require me to strip the paint off and start again.
Yeah that's a good shout, I do use vallejo's primer to hand prime sometimes works a treat. Next time for sure. Thank you for watching commenting 🙏
This is just insanely cool. What an achievement!
Thank you 😊 🙏
Excellent work (and a funny, informative and well-produced video).
A 10mm Top-Tip though mate (probs too late now though in fairness) - concentrate on the front of one rank and the rear of the other, as the opposite sides of both won't be seen when they are based and so any time spent painting them is a waste (thinking here of things like the shields and such on any of the wee chaps that are in the rear rank and not at one end).
Love,
A Warmaster player of 20+ years
Thank you! 😊🙏
I hear ya, Definitely a different beast to what I'm used to at 28-32mm. Bit of a learning curve for sure, overall I enjoyed it though and can't wait to do more. I think I will be taking a much more efficient aproach next time so will be taking all this on board. Especially from someone as knowledgeable as yourself. What armies have you got? I am very much looking forward to learning the game!
@@TheWizardsBrush I've got Chaos and High Elves in the original GW metals (and a small Undead army from before they split them off to Tomb Kings and Vampire Counts). I've also got a shit tonne of Cromarty and Forest Dragon STLs that I'm hoarding (I've become as bad with STLs as I am with physical models now). I've also got some 10mm historicals (Aurthurian) for use with a set of rules called Dux Bellorum - I've got early Saxons and Romano British in 10mm. I'm pretty keen on the scale.
Wow! That all sounds amazing 👏 and I bet it all looks incredible laid out!
Oh god yeah I'm hoarding so much stuff, my problem is that I think its all cool and I have a little bit of everything.
Bought dark elf about 20 years ago and really loved them, but friends stopped playing or moved away. So no one to play with and only owned one army, now with 3d printing we can i can have all the armies ive dreamed of and have a spare to lend when i have guests who wants to play.
@@andersand6576 exactly. Sometimes we have to be the change we wish to see.
good job , looks nice👍
Thank you 😊 🙏
A tip for fine detail work. I nicked the tweezers from my computer tool kit. What makes them better is they are spring loaded shut so that you have to squeeze to open them. Which means you can focus on getting stuff into place without having to keep the pressure up on the grip. Makes things a little easier and faster for placing detailed stuff on models, bases or what ever.
Oooh sounds good, I will try that! Thank you 😊 🙏
You should try epic 40k, it's 6mm. You'd love it!
Good job on the painting and getting through all the tediousness of it all.
Yeah I remember when epic was a thing in the late 90's. Imperialis looks pretty cool too, I've been tempted. Any a time by that. Thank you 😊 🙏
I find painting a “Kill Team” awesomely tedious - can’t believe your amazing effort.
Now that’s done - how about the Battle of Helms Deep in 10mm (both sides plus the Keep and mountain), ypu know, just for something to do on a lazy sunday afternoon ? 😜
Seriously, amazing work with such tiny detail 😁🇦🇺👍
Honestly all painting has a small (or large) amount of tedium built in, its worth it though in the end.
Oh god, what are you trying to do to me 😂 Great idea. maybe. hmmm. it would be epic. damn you. doable in a casual 4000 afternoons. Cheers for watching and commenting! 🙂
looks incredibly cool man
Thank you 😊 🙏
I love that 64k people have watched a video where the voiceover is about how boring this was. The hobby is unmatched. Great video!
😄 🤣 ah th hobby. I didn't think of it like that when I was making it but yeah I see that 🤣 who knew that 64k people would listen to me moan for half an hour. thank you 😊 🙏
THE DARKNESS WILL CONSUME YOU! Excellent roleplaying.
😄 🤣 thank you 🙏
The skit game is strong in this video 😂 Great video man, 10 m prints incoming in my house !
Thank you 😊 🙏
Oooh ok what army you thinking?
@@TheWizardsBrush Would definitely be cool to have a Dwarven army!
Oh absolutely, that was my first thought when seeing 10mm lotr. Wakes doesn't have it yet but I'm sure he will soon!
I love this video. Sometimes the YT algorithm does me a solid.
Your comedy is gold, however, when we got to the edit of the Gondor soldier chucking 'his neighbours extension' on the trebuchet, I absolutely fuckin lost it XD Top notch sir
Really glad you enjoyed it! 😊 thank you 🙏
😄 🤣 that took me a few times to get through!
Awesome! I've had an absolutely terrible experience with army painter spray primer. I heard they were supposed to be quite good but I'm definitely not going anywhere near them again. Never had these issues with Citadel spray primers, or even off the shelf stuff like Krylon.
Ah right so maybe it was just the primer, I haven't had the issue since but bf I've avoided the AP primer.
man this video deserves an oscar!
Thank you 😊 😄 🤣
Amazing vid man, u just create me another necesity in my life: 10mm rhun and far harad army. Thank youn't
😄 🤣 I'm glad have awoken something in you... enjoy! There's definitely easterlings available, I don't know if there's harad yet on wakes, but I think there are other proxies available 😀
10mm is such a great scale. Been playing WW2 and Cold War in it for a few years now. Not done Fantasy yet, but it sure looks good.
Ah nice I bet WW2 in 10mm is great fun!
sick, although as an epic scale painter and player I would recomend to have a try at oil washes and those little sponges for eye makeup.
Yeah ive been wanting to give oil washes a try for ages, I will have a go on the next one. Thank you 🙏
Absolutely sensational!
Thank you 😊 🙏
Truly a captain of Gondor of the highest quality
I will not let the white city fall 🙏 although I may fall asleep at my post and or forgot my helmet, Sheild and or sword.
