This year, I have thoroughly enjoyed playing a mixed force of Lothlorien and Rivendell Elves from Games Workshop's Warhammer Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game (MESBG).
This is the first part of the story of how I painted this force. I went to the Isle of Skye and Lewis and Harris in the Hebrides. I wanted to find wildlife including Otters, Seals, Deer and Gold Eagles whilst finishing my army including Elrond, Haldir, Rumil and others.

Eagle-eared among you will notice a missing line when the audio drops out. The missing line is "a bag of my dog's poo". Good luck to anyone checking the comments before watching in guessing the context. Hint, it involves dinosaurs (no, really).

How will the new zealand lovers recover from this? Epic vid man, loved it.

@BattleCamperHome Год назад

Thanks! I think they're going to just accept its over. That's inevitable at this point. I expect their emissary, Zorp, to formally concede any moment now.

Turns out it only took an otter all along.

I really enjoyed all of this video, but I'd be lying if I said 33:23 wasn't the HIGHLIGHT. Louise and I were literally rolling on the floor laughing and in tears of joy. Thank you so much.

@BattleCamperHome Год назад

Right, that's it, from now on my videos will just be me walking over uneven surfaces. I know what the people want.

@Mjolknirn Год назад

Lovely video, watching at 2am as I paint some Lamenters. I'm pleasantly surprised at how chuffed you were with seeing an otters arse in the wild on your voyage (though, I've never seen one so you beat me). I recently came back from a trip slightly south to Tasmania, after having a stop by in a small tent pitch, I was kept up by much, much more than cheeky possums and bouncing wallaby families all night. All the best

@BattleCamperHome Год назад

Oooh awesome. Do you share pics of your minis anywhere? That sounds incredible... when I have the money, I'll make that trip. Now I just needs some Australia themed minis to paint.

@user-uy2ie8pb3r 10 месяцев назад

Great entertainment, superb views and lots to learn along the way. The Scottish Tourist Board should be proud, and not only them but something for everyone. Enjoyed every minute.

@BattleCamperHome Год назад

Ooh nice. Hope you enjoy Rumil. I got a replacement and he was a joy! halbarad is a fantastic mini...

Traveling to Scotland and/or Ireland for some hiking is on my bucketlist and the scenery in your videos is simply breathtaking. Also, lots of rainy days. I took my family to Stonehenge in April. Fun fact: Umbrellas don't work when the rain is horizontal.

@BattleCamperHome Год назад

XD that's helpful to know haha. You absolutely should. I want to make it to Ireland too. Maybe this year! Scotland is just an absolute gem. I'm very lucky to have been able to see so much of it in recent years

Rumil might just have been slain by Lord Key haha 11:40! Whoa the dinosaur footprints I was not expecting! Haha your modesty exceeds yourself at 23:50, profound indeed my friend, profound indeed. 25:12 sounds like a description of a rangers life, deep in the forest, alone, and weary yet wary.

@PrometianPainting Год назад

@@BattleCamperHome Out of curiosity - would you ever do a video talking about how you're able to do what you do, or the costs involved? I don't so much mean your real-life job, but I'd be interested to know as a ball-park figure how much a trip like this costs you. It's something I'd love to do myself someday, even if it meant renting a van (I don't think a tiny ford fiesta really counts as decent roadside accommodation).

@BattleCamperHome Год назад

@@PrometianPainting Interesting, I'd not thought to but I'd be happy to. I can try and cobble something together!

@BattleCamperHome Год назад

@@PrometianPainting realistically, the headline will be that the van is of course the main expense. Followed by fuel. For me, the drive from London to Skye was probably most the holiday's costs right there. I didn't eat out much because everywhere was closed! The ferry was a further £80 I think, but of course there's a lot of Scotland to explore without getting on a boat
