Hi, I'm Arthy. I love miniature painting, 3D printing and... things. So I thought I rather make some videos about topics that I kinda sorta know a thing or two about, then, let's say, about crocheting.
My videos are aimed for the avid but average miniature painter. Someone who wants to slay the grey mass in their closet, with very good results compared to basically no effort. So expect very short, straight to the point, no nonsense tutorials.
Scrap that, there will definitely be nonsense. But everything else is true!
amazing army, lovely painted. plus, I recognized your superglue and now know you are from Germany - the glue and the fitting activator is a game changer!
If I would create a new Army with different bases I would focus more on good looking "soil", using the same texture paste I used to make those tank tracks. I also would add more details to the soil with more stones or whatever the theme of the base would be. I then would use tufts (they are technically static grass, but MUCH easier to handle and they do not fall off until the end of time from a base and stick to LITERALLY anything :D this is my biggest issue with static grass) to make small patches of grass.
mm new bases.. I see from your griffin that i'm more than one base size behind. The old tin model had a square base and not rectangle.. Maybe it's worth dusting of the old models.. <.<
Yes and no. So bases sizes changed for The Old World. Most bases changed here. But, that Gryphon is a newer version, introduced in the 8th ed. It's called "imperial" Gryphon and it's a beefed up Gryphon on steroids, hence the size. This one was on a chariot base and is now on an even bigger one. But you can still play a Gryphon as the Empire, it has smaller stats and still the 50x50 base. But it's definately worth dusting of the old models and trying out the Old World. I love it, having a blast in the past months.
Funny that you say that, I wanted to finally get some for the past 2 weeks. I am sooooo burned from all other different kind of similar products whichalways leave some sticky residue behind, that I refrained from buying any other and just stuck to two sided tape :D But I need to finally get some
I love my Empire, I got them out for old world last night and just got tabled by bretonians, the cannons and mortars now no longer punch hard and the steam tank just flunks…
Don't worry, the empire isn't as bad as people say (I think, at least if you play against "normal" lists). Take a look at Demigryphs, or Inner Circle knights. I won't leave the house without them. And you can get some nice synergies going with a Sigmar/Ulric Priest. I will go over some thought that I have on all the units in my collection in my upcoming Army Showcase video. But don't give up, the empire can win. And one just has to love those puffy pantsed little guys.
Brilliant video! Loved seeing your army come back to life, and particularly liked your editing, filming and presentation style. Super chilled and professional. Subscribed! 🙌
Your Empire Army is very dark on a dark surface with a dark background. I think your effort in painting these deserves better attention to the presentation part as well.
Static grass is not a sin! It's fuzzy and green, and gets everywhere. Yes, it may be the Goblin Green Base of the 2000s, but surely that makes it a classic in the making?
*heavy breathing* you just triggered so many wound points in my soul I cannot even put it into words :D. But I still stick with my green fuzzy static grass... Even have to buy a new blister. Those new bases are huge and eat it up like nothing. Something I never thought I'd say out loud.
Very good video! I am in the process of fixing up my 6th Ed Tomb Kings because I quit playing in the summer 2006 just before 7th Ed was released. Guess how "excited" I was early this year when I found out about all of the new units released in 2011 for Tomb Kings in 8th Ed and what current day GW prices for them are....
Well that was a rollercoaster of emotions to read. I still welcome you back in our beloved hobby. And yes, those "new" Tomb King models are neat. Love the sphinx.
Army of my dreams! I’m slowing making an averland force at the moment. Black and yellow go so well. Lovely painting dude and great army. Looking forward to next video
Thank you. And yes yellow and black are perfect. Wish you all the fun in the world building your empire army. You won't regret it. I'm having the time of my life seeing my yellow, puffy pantsed dudes duking it out on the battlefield.
Just because everyone in the comment section seems to remove the supports before curing I've gotta admit I'm the guy who cured first and then removed supports... well never again though! But I'm not gonna be using hot water, we have clean drinking water in my country, I'm not gonna pollute the water supply
I wish I had been told this when I started two years ago. I went a solid three months before I noticed they started to come off when I was washing them.
This close to what I have in mind for my republic fleet when it is finished. At the moment i’m working on learning to get the 3D prints perfect and learning how to airbush, mainly mixing paints correctly atm. This does excite me for the end product.
I print, then wash the model. After that, I use a baby bottle warmer which keeps a source of water warm and has and adjustable temperature. Also, I have switched to ABS-like water-washable from regular water-washable resin and the supports break off so much cleaner, especially when warmed.
The location of the instructions I couldn't find was enough to make this video invaluable. The fact that you walked through the whole process as well as some helpful tips was just gravy on top. Thanks!
All my supports just peel off when I take it off the plate so I do them after the first rinse/wash. Sometimes I have some very tiny hair like supports that I remove after cure. I’d never cure all these supports on there like this though
Good video. I didn't realise anyone cured their minis before removing the supports. Thank you for taking the time to enlighten the unenlightened. I'm with the, 'clean, warm water, remove supports' team. Subscribed )O( Edit: A shame you've discontinued your Tribe on MMF because your minis are looking really good.
Thank you for your very nice comment, your sub and checking out our MMF store. We will continue with the tribe at a later point, we are regrouping at the moment and want to figure out what we want to focus on.
I'd see where you're coming from with sheep or goat milk, but I don't think one does really taste the cow..... Also, knowing you for a while, I doubt you'd be consuming as much milk as you do, if you'd be tasting the cow! Also. Nice video.
If you can think of a token that would be useful for you and your army, let me know here. I will collect the ideas for a few days and then I will create them and add them to the existing ones for free.
This works well with miniatures or prints that do not need heat during cure. Some resins require heat while curing. And if you take off the supports prior to cure/heat your part can warp. During these type of cures you should leave the supports on while curing.
@@arthyficial Depends on the resin. some of the engineering resins benefit form a hot cure. And all of my formlabs resins required heating while curing.
