The genre you're looking for is Butt Rock. The type of music you hear on whatever station has the catchphrase "KYPT radio, where we playing nothing BUT ROCK"
27:10 in Canada (and basically everywhere but the US) Kit Kats are made by Nestle, not Hersey. Hersey chocolate is bad. You should try a Canadian Kit Kat. Then again, Nestle's doing that whole slavery and stealing water from arid regions thing, so maybe don't.
In my "feral, stay at home dad" role, these videos are a highlight of my week. So encouraging to dive more into hobbying. Thank you so much. I have a Butt Rock playlist with Creed and Nickelback that i listen to while painting. So good. An idea for the items that maybor may not be available at TUP live, rubber ducks with stylized faces of you two. That's a "take my money" thing right there.
Yeah get 'em. Erik Swinson cost me $200 bucks at Adepticon..... just from watching and talking with him at the Artis Opus booth. That could be "senior abuse" . BTW Hi Jon and congratulations to you, nice piece in person. WAY better composition than other entries. Also Scott it was nice chatting with you, too. - Old Guy Joe from MN. :)
Jon's 'speed painting' approach he has been developing and showcasing in his YT videos has been the most impactful on my painting of anything anyone else has put on YT. The models looks really good, they don't take too long, the process is more enjoyable to do because it's giving visually striking results quickly so the process of painting is more fun. And the end result has striking visual lighting. I've only been experimenting in trying to copy that style, but once Warcrow drops I want to paint the starter box for that entirely using that method.
Saw all the models, thought they were great. Congrats to all who entered for getting to that point. The con itself, had a blast playing, got some good deals, had fun with friends. Avoided the drama and stupidity and have since by not being in forums, etc. Congrats on what you both have accomplished, keep going, keep it fun.
I agree with Jon - it was great that they had commended artists all stand up at the Golden Demon ceremony, it made the experience way more special to be acknowledged like that. I know some people feel that it “sucks to lose” in front of everyone, but as someone who stood up there with ya and lost, that’s not really where I found that my mindset was. I was just as caught up in the excitement and hype for those around me who were winning, and it was a great motivation to push harder next year!
What’s great about Jon’s painting style he’s developing explained just prior to 51:36 is that “trimming the fat to leave what’s fun” I feel will really do wonders to keep up momentum and get more minis completed which is really the goal of “speed painting” anyway right?
I don't know how available it is in the US but "coureur des bois" and "Sortilège" is great stuff and definitely worth keeping stocked in the liquor cabinet
My paint selections have just gotten smaller and more selective over the years. Certain colors from certain brands and it's totally random. Long gone are the days of paint scheme formulas. But that comes in time and confidence... or maybe because I just don"t give a ...... what anyone thinks! you go Jon!
Well red NMM is hard because I don't think there is such a thing as red metal. You can paint metal red, but then it's not gonna reflect light like metal but like the finish of the paint on top of it. The Star Wars imperial guard that's painted plastic really, so it's gonna reflect light like that glossy paint would
Yes, I don’t have huge plans to play underworlds. I usually buy them as proxies or sometimes the points just workout to bring them as pet units. My first Idoneth 2k game I brought the crab warband with the goal of getting a crab kill
Regarding boxed-game models in big AOS or 40K--the character models in those games should be playable as alternate sculpts for generic characters in AOS and 40K. They don't need specific "epic hero" profiles in the big games--just having alternate sculpts for Vampire Lord or whatever would be FINE. That would let people who want to invest a little bit extra to make their army look cooler do that, without forcing everyone to rush out and buy up models for other games in order to have the most meta list in the big games.
For the food situation, my friend and I rode the shuttle that was taking people to and from the other hotel because there were a bunch of restaurants across the street from that hotel lol so we just hopped on the shuttle, ate somewhere, and then hopped back on to the con again
In regards to underworlds or cursed city units doubling for AoS, it’s a marketing strategy that worked on me. I extrapolated that train of thought to using those models in other games too. That notion just becomes a springboard for ideas on how else i can use those models.
I also feel that base-coating is the least fun part of painting. For cutting base coating out of painting, I've been trying to get good with the airbrush and do like Marco Frisoni does to create base coats and volumes with the airbrush and then use the brush to define the boundaries and punch up or down the highlights/shadows
There are certain skirmish game (killteam) kits that I have bought solely for 40k. I haven't played much killteam, but do really enjoy the aesthetic adds some of the kits add to my army.
I'm a fan of Underworlds and the cross over to AoS and WC gave me a lot of confidence that the models I was buying were really worth it and I would get a lot of use out of them. That being said not every warband needs to be a special unit in AoS. Some of favorite warbands, The Sepulchral Guard and Sons of Velmorn, could just be alternate sculpts for deathrattle or grave guard and I'd still be happy.
I enjoy when the smaller game kits from say Kill Team are close enough I can proxy them into 40k to swap out for a boring battleline unit. If they give them a ruleset that is basically a copy of a normal unit (with like 6 less range but 1 more strength or whatever), they will end up being so close overall in loadout that I can use them as a proxy. For instance, I picked up two sets of Krieg when they were cheap as leftovers from the killteam box that ended up being trenchcoat wearing standard infantry. So in that respect I don't care if they have rules really, but I like the effects of making them fit the rules has.
As a miniature nerd turned fine artist, I appreciate any attempt to "legitimize" our artform in the eyes of the greater public. I think we could be on the cusp of a miniature "renaissance", because the caliber of work being made by miniature hobbyists is world class, and people will take notice with enough exposure. Sorry for all of the "air bunnies". TLDR, I'm excited about the future of miniature art.
The music genre you are looking for is Alternative. It isn't particularly descriptive. But the big radio format back in the mid to late '90s was Adult Album Alternative.
The compatibility of small kits definitely affects my purchasing decisions. I bought a Votann Kill Team and it convinced me to start the army. I would have bought the Gellerpox Infected kill team if I liked the mechanics at all just because that's another army I'm already working on. Even if I don't use them between games I like having the faction theme across different games. and imagine them being part of the same army. I think lots of them would be fine as characters rather than a unit, you just couldn't take all of them if they did that.
Not that I was there, but after listening to this years TUP Live, I agree with Jon's comments about that other podcast that did live shows. Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend also does live shows with a similar style, where there's crowd interaction at the beginning or end, but the main meat is still an interview. Same with The Empire Film Podcast. They put on a fun show, but it's not too dissimilar to what the listeners are used to. They listen because they like the show, and I think that's the draw of a live version. Plus, if TUP Live was more structured like a regular episode it might take a lot of the unknown out of the equation because you'd have the majority of it planned out. Just my two cents that no one asked for... Also, was there backlash to Jon's Temu video??? This is the first I'd heard of that! What was the perceived issue?
I have bought many Underworlds warbands just to use them in Warcry. They're pretty high utility, and unfortunately in some situations they are must-haves. What I think the ideal place for Warcry/UW warbands to exist in AoS is as proxies. Your cool Underworlds models are just alt sculpts for a different bunch of dudes. Then your bespoke Warcry and UW Warbands are also just alt sculpts for AoS units
I am 100% encouraged to buy those kits for both games. But the thing about it though with KillTeam anyways, is those units are usually pretty good or needed. Like Ork Kommandoz and Death Korp of Krieg? I mean how many of us have wanted plastic Kriegsmen forever? In AoS though, yeah they always seem to be pretty mid.
I started playing Underworlds during the pandemic as my first GW game. One of my deciding factors is that I might be able to use those warbands as a way to transition into AoS in the future. It turns out that never happened, but it absolutely was part of my buying decision. Overall I agree that the game would be far better off if Warcry and Underworlds and random board game stuff didn't get AoS rules or maybe they were sent directly to Legends or something.
The norwegian Melkesjokolade is the king of European milk chocolate. And kvikk lunsj is so much better than kit kat. But as another norwegian i probely biased. And the brick is a norwegian brown cheese, called Brunost and is a sweet carmamelized fudge cow/goat milk cheese, and is fricking amazing on waffels
I use the underworlds warbands and such to see if id like painting an army , if i do hreat ive got a few.models already, if i dont cool ive got a few models for another game
15:00 Hey I got a pin for those marines! But you're right, I totally considered them a "joke" entry, distinct from my "real" entries. P.S. Congrats on the demon, Jon!
I buy Underworld Warbands just for Sigmar I don’t even play Underworlds. I’m playing Gravelords so many of the new models for them are Underworlds warbands
33:41 I don't think we should be as worried about pink in red as people tend to be. It'd be like we treated pale blue as a different colour, and when someone painted something blue people would comment "well, looks like you went a little too pale blue in that blue" We are more aware of it because it has a name and is generally treated as a different colour, even though technically it's just a tint of red.
I’m sure it’s been mentioned a million times already but just in case it has not…. It’s SCOTT not Micheal…. Stapp that is. The genre is nu metal, butt rock according to the handful of bands you mentioned.
Next time you should flip it on the audience and ask them questions have a real call and response episode where you go though debates in the hobby. You bring questions to ask the room
Just wanna say again thanks for l the great content. Its been awesome to be along for both of your hobby and career journeys. This tendie is for you my PPs, appreciate you adding to the community with fun and welcoming vibes
Anyone have any good info on the ATOM Smart paints ? I just ordered the set and the only info I can find is the promo material. Just looking to do a lil studying before it arrives.
@hsgunderson3152 There are both in Broookfield now although that's not very close to downtown. I think there are additional Lou Malnati's in Oak Creek and Waukesha.
If a film podcast is going to be affiliated at all with any of your other projects, it should keep the naming format: "Trapped Under Cellulose Acetate"
I think the whole AI-backdrop hubbub is fucking ridiculous. Next year people will paint over that generated image print with some acrylics and say nothing about the AI generation in there. No one will flip out and shit will still get in the competition. And there's no way to prove that didn't happen. No judge will demand that you scrape some paint off so we can see the pixels!
Good lord. As long as Creed have Mark Tremonti they can never be compared with Nickelback. Hershey's also cannot be compared with Cadbury's, in the UK Hershey's isn't legally allowed to advertise as chocolate. I hope Scott has better takes on films or his movie podcast is doomed. Stupid sexy Vader is kicking though, that red armour is glorious.
So wield your not allowed to take photos of getting the award. My wife would probably fight someone to make sure she had pictures and videos if I would win one 😂
I dont think it was bad for him to use AI art specifically. I think it was more the fact that it was a printed image. Granted, it brings up a different topic if we should we ban decals if printed images are used?
The whole "I went to TUP live and all I got was this stupid shirt" thing is okay... ...but if you add "and herpes" in a different, smaller font at the end, baby, you got a stew goin'!
I feel like they should have shown a couple of skaven models. Sigmar marines are so fucking boring that I don't care about them at all. If I get into AoS at any point, I'm not playing a human/human based faction in that game
