Gotta say 2 things, 1, loved this episode - Dave is amazing, but you guys also did great a great interview, so keep that up! 2, Gave me the inspiration to go back to my kid to see if he was interested in giving painting a crack, and he was up for the nids, so thats an awesome result!
The content from Miniwargaming was probably the first RU-vid content I regularly watched way back in the day. I'm nearly 30 and have been watching them for almost 15 years so literally over half my life. Great stuff.
Love Dave’s energy and passion for this hobby. We’re truly privileged to have him be such a pillar and inspiration for the wargaming community. Love the video lads, hope to see even more guests on the pod in the future!
Awesome episode, really enjoyed listening to you all and the honesty from Dave about the hobby. It’s so refreshing! Also can’t blame him at all for double purging! 😂
Dave's energy is off the charts. He can make any topic exciting. His passion for wargames is unmatched. I've quickly inserted this podcast into the fold, and this episode is awesome 👌 top-notch fellows.
Great episode. I am 42 and got into hobby and WH in general only 2 years ago. And my daughters are already trying to paint with me. Incredibly great fun.
thank you for this podcast/video , you podcast and pete the wargamer are the reason that i start after 15 year with painting and kitbashing again. i getting fun again with painting and can enjoy it . thanks for that and for all the tips.
Thanks for answering my question! (Different name in RU-vid because reasons...) Been having a lot of fun painting my Guard lately in dark red fatigues and white armour, but till wanted the army to feel grounded. When I get around to a baneblade at some point down the line, I might well go full bold with the army colours. In the meantime I've been doing a mechanicus grey base and then picking out panels in the army colours.
Love Dove. MiniWargaming is the OG. Couple of thoughts: 1. "Collecting" and "piles of shame" is a huge problem. Hoarding is a huge problem that I don't think should be encouraged or normalised. Yes, wargamers have to all own up to this. It indicators other emotional or psychological issues and a lack of control. Having a collection for the sake of having piles of unassembled minis (therefore unpainted, and unplayed) is not a good state to be in as well as being a massive financial black hole. Really more should be done by everyone in the community to encourage assembly, painting and playing and discourage hoarding. But when everyone chases the HOT NEW THING and engagement algorithms, social media posts, etc you're much more likely to be tempted and fall behind on your unrealised potential of grey plastic just sitting unassembled in its box. 2. In relation to the collecting: No one seems to talk about the books. The Codex books, the Battletomes, the Black Library, the narrative campaign books, etc. Now that's a collection that you can actually put immediate use to providing you have a few models ready to play with and they inspire you to generate games and the reason for your army battles. The reading material or "Lore" that GW pushes out is immense unto itself. But then the shelf space required for the supporting material (hardback and paperback) can also become a huge problem to find the space for. Many hobbyists could start a Black Library of their own. I, for one, hold onto my books because I like the lore and tracking the development of the game.
1:00:25 YES, that's me. Recently a close friend decided to give into the hobby,.. I was able to reinforce his Tau with the old Tau combat patrol box (which I paid 72 euros for ... 3 Battlesuits from GW sell for 65 euros at the time of writing) on one hand I'm sad that I'm parting with those models, on the other hand I'm enabling & helping my friends into the hobby. I'm sure that if /when he'd stop with the hobby at some point I'll be able to house his models.
What do you guys think about „Serve“, „Command“ and „Purge“? Serve being the eternal bonding and Command being the playful part? Love Dave, love the Pod, love the studio work! 🎈
Its funny to hear "Painting" put so high and then all the praise for AoS models and then have AoS get hit with "Purge", sounds like you boys need another point of view on the hobby. ;)
