Gift lists don't always work anyway mate. Last night I gave my 17 year old son access to my G.W. gift list... It's basically everything on the site so there is too much to choose from for my kids as they don't get accosted with Warhammer lore half as often as my wife does hahaha. Too much to choose from on there.

Paint range suggestions: Kimera kolors - the fancy stuff if they want to get into mixing and playing with really high pigment densities warcolours - Like nothing else. Gel medium means they really don't separate and have some unique on-model properties OLDHAMMER! Get the older gamer some Coat d'Arms (shown in vid), or Warcolours nostalgia (not gel-based) and relive 80s-90s heyday with some vibrant goblin green bases.

@foyble 2 года назад

I was born in Glasgow and moved to London when I was 4. For the last 30+ years I have suffered with a terrible affliction, I speak to my family with a Scottish accent and everyone else with an English accent. My brothers and sister do it too and until today I didn’t think another soul on the planet did the same thing. Penny switching from Scottish to English and back again mid sentence is something that happens to me all the time. It freaks out all of my friends and makes life really difficult whenever I meet Scottish people because I can’t help switching to a Scottish accent even when I’m with friends or work colleagues who haven’t experienced my bilingual disposition.

@ninja_cazzle2641 2 года назад

You should see if you can find a John Barrowman interview. Hearing him drop into his native Scottish accent is just bizarre! I think it’s more common than you realise x

@16goldnsilver 2 года назад

Honestly, something very inexpensive that I can always use more of are cheap towels. I use them when I paint minis and put them underneath my painting setup. If anything spills, it just goes onto the towel (I'm looking at you Nuln Oil...). I also use it to wipe paint off my brush when I need to drybrush or just to dry my brushes in general if they're too wet. I know there are specialized mats and whatnot that are probably leagues better, but I've found that this works really well for me and my (scrappy) setup!

@absolutmauser 2 года назад

Shop towels you can buy in bulk from a hardware store or online are awesome for this!

This time of year, there is always a flood of these videos, and i usually cringe my way through them with gritted teeth - Until now! This is easily the best "Gift Idea" video that I've ever seen.

Firstly, I've been wanting to get my Hubby a hot wire and rotery tools for a while now but don't know which ones will be most useful for starter tools. Having links to recommendations is massively helpful! Thank you! Second, I'm making a dice box for the Hubby and now I'm thinking of making objective markers too... totally didn't even think about that! Third, time is the big one. Even if it's not playing a game with your beloved hobbyist, just sharing space with them goes a long way. You don't even have to talk or interact with them, just be there reading a book, on the computer, watching more midwinter minis videos...

Another idea that's not too pricey is model storage; plastic boxes (made for A4 paper) with a ferrite sheet stuck to the bottom, combined with magnets hot-glued to model bases has worked really well for me. You can get deeper boxes for tall/cav units that still stack with the shallower ones.

@tempusavatar 2 года назад

Thanks for this list. An additional comment about the gift of "your time," a great gift is also "THEIR time," as in, grant them some free time in their busy schedule for their hobbies.
