When Being a Furry at Games Workshop BACKFIRES BADLY. Are YOU ADDICTED to Warhammer?? 

There are darktales told in hushed tones by the the most Venerable Grognards that the day a true gamer paints his last miniature is the day they die. It's not a Pile of Shame, it's an Immortality Gambit.

MTG, Blue hair, nose ring, Furry....Tail, my only questions are: How big and how awful was the smell?

I remember asking a GW employee about what army he likes the best after he had asked me. He just said 'all of them' and then tried to push me to buy more. I kept prying to see if he would ever tell me what his favourite is but never got anywhere. A loyal servant of GW to the bitter end 😂

Being a furry in general doesn't lead to embarrassment? I try to be an open person but I just. Don't. Get. That shit.

If I was skilled enough with an airbrush to use it for an entire model I would. I bought an expensive airbrush kit thinking it would be cheat codes to amazing paint jobs. Nope. It’s own skill that takes time.

Just call yourself a SpaceWolf fan and no one will ridicule you for being a furry.

Ignore the airbrush complaints. I own a nice set up and rarely use it because of the upkeep/cleanup that’s involved. I think it’s silly to recommend this totally optional, expensive and not that important hobby toy to a newbie. I would however recommend it to somebody deep into the painting side looking to experiment/ try new things.

7:00 Disaster struck. My parents decided to separate. North: Cool 😂

Being a furry in general can lead to severe embarrasment. -a furry

NorthernExile: hey guys sorry about my airbrush rant the other day just ignore it NorthernExile 10 minutes later: AND ANOTHER THING ABOUT PEOPLE WHO USE TOO MUCH AIR BRUSH AND THINK THEYRE SPECIAL

As an African if i came to the medieval world and was Christian theyd probably ask me about prester john. And there was contact between medieval africa, Europe and the middle east. Mali was known in Europe for its gold and Ethiopia and Congo sent delegates to the pope

I don't have a "pile of shame" because I just don't consider it a job. It's a hobby, if I don't do it for a few months, oh well, I'm doing other hobbies or handling real problems. I've been in this hobby for about 12 years now, I've gone like 5 of that painting maybe 3 minis a year, another year I did 2 full 2k armies for 40k. Be kind to yourself, friends.

I maintain that the problem with furry is that of simple oversharing. We don't all need to know how SUPER FURRY OwO OMG LOLRANDOM you are constantly. You don't need your phone unlock screen to be Krystal the fox with her boobs out. You don't need to cover yourself in tails or ear headbands or other tacky shite in public. You don't need some smiling furry character in that soulless and drab Disney-Anime fusion art style to be your display picture everywhere online, with an accompanying furry name. You don't need to always be the "anthro" character in everything. You don't need to obsess over the character in a franchise that's a talking animal. It's not just cringe, guys. It's boring and exhausting and it makes your fandom look shallow and childish. If they just treated it as some random interest they have and keep it to themselves with people that are not interested or aren't involved I wouldn't really have a problem with furries but this oversharing and this need to be seen as SO FURRY is such a common problem with them. Seriously, if some guy had furry as an interest but was otherwise an alright geeky dude who doesn't go on about it to my disintested ear I'd happily sit around a table with him and have a pint and a laugh, but I'm sorry they just don't ever seem to be like this.

I don't have a pile of shame, they are just projects for a later date.

I swear North, GW is ran by either people who have travelled back from the 41st millennium or are just delusional and think that’s who they really are. Everyone at GW HQ and upper management take their roles as Administratum and Inquisitors VERY seriously

The people at GW who think “talking about your hobby [within reason]” is going to do anything but encourage people to buy more are delusional and lack actual sales skills

I use an airbrush for Priming, Zenithal Highlights and Basecoating Big models. Then the brush comes out.

To be honest i always wondered why those left leaning people adore Harry Potter so much. From watching the movie that sorcerer community look like an (almost fachist) regime to me. I mean they look down on regular people, have a slur for them. Even when non magic people help them with all their efforts, they get mindwiped as a thanks.

I was literally airbrushing a base coat when you were doing that rant and was giggling, idk why people got mad lol

North, I partly agree on the airbrush thing. With airbrushes, they really help with glow effects and rough blending of colours (something that I cannot do myself to save my life) while also giving you the benefit of having a smooth and consistent surface of a colour that greatly contrast’s its base colour. Believe me, I don’t want to apply 5 base coats of white onto a black primed model and then have to strip it because there’s texture on it now. I will however agree on the showing off part. Don’t lie about how you did your models because you just look silly. Similar example, I’m one to buy painted models off eBay, especially if it’s a one off thing like a knight but I will not for a second day that it’s my paint job. It’s simply not and I don’t want to be caught out when someone asks me how to do a technique on the model I have no experience in. To sum it up, the airbrush is a great tool for hobbyists to get a quick effect that looks good on their models because at the end of the day, it’s their models. But you should not show it off as brushwork.

Hey North, could you gather a bit more varied footage for the videos? Bloody love them, and yes it's only background, but I like to watch a listen sometimes and I'm starting to know which tile you're moving too haha Either way I'll still be watching. Just a small request and thank you for your videos.

🐺Space Woofs. Best Chapter. Felinids, most admirable abhuman after Ogryn.

"can you imagine you army in your mind's eye?" brought back memories

Being a furry should backfire in general, thats just a big fat no

Ive only been back into warhammer and painting for about 2 months. But ive been a digital artist for over 20 years. So i have a similar issue as the first guy. Nobody believes im new Edit: for clarification last time i was into warhammer was the beginning of 6th edition and my models looked horrible (tau farsight)

Yeah, seems she was more flustered than embarressed. The granddad was certainly embarressed for the kid being utterly tactless.

~37:00 In medieval times and before, to assume that a black person is "burned by the sun" is just basic phenomenological logic: People knew you get a tan when you work outside all the time, your skin would darken - hence nobility being associated with palest skintones, not just soft hands (and why Snowwhite cannot have a tan or dark skin colour to begin with, let alone being born of her queen (royalty) mother's wish for a child with skin white as snow, but I digress). People were aware that the sun darkened your skin, and thus the simplistic logical conclusion that "the sun must have burned him" is completely logical, if ill-phrased. The contemplation that the black man must come from a place where the sun is scorching(!) is correct too. People didn't know the biology behind it, or whether that darker skin is actual protection against the sun, but the basic ideas weren't far off at all.

I do find the Reddit style "this is my first model, is this good enough to play with? C&C please teehee" and a picture of some stunningly gorgeously painted model absolutely ridiculous Absolutely cringe, stop it, just ask for C&C without trying to farm extra karma and engagement by lying about it being your first model. It might happen very occasionally if someone from an art background gets into miniature painting, but the sheer regularity of it makes me extremely leery of all of them

Can confirm the “Zen” state is real as I was painting my Khorne Berserkers. Never had cleaner details until then

An event? In Donny? When I'm in Sheffield? WITH FREE TEA?? Book me in, sir.

I literally just purchased the new Black Templar Furry Death t shirt from flashgitz yesterday to make our FLGS furry uncomfortable as he makes the rest of us

If my first models turn out like that I was be very proud 💯❤️🤖🫡

Proper airbrushing is a skill. On the flip side, if you just took your base color with a standard brush and slapped it on sloppily and called it talent, you would also be lying. Skillful airbrushing is absolutely Artistry though, it depends on your effort.

As a Dave the reputations do make me chuckle 😁 The problem is Half are good people, Half not so much...... I was lucky enough to be introduced to the hobby by my dad too, back with first edition space hulk. Keep up the great vids 👍

5:17 Nice T.A.R.D.I.S. in the background ! ! !

I can't lie the furry story gives me more reason to want to be a dad for the comedy it will bring me

Here is a fun fact for ya, North. Since you were talking about racism and history, do you know where and when the first recorded use of the N word was? It was in Ancient Rome where the latin word "Niger" pronounced as N-eye-ger and was simply a person of African or Carribean decent. Simon, in Acts chapter 13 of the Bible is known as a Niger by the romans and was one of the two prophets that lead the Church of Antioch. They associated his skin color with his faith and in turn, the word simply meant "black christian." It didn't have a negative conotation at first. But, sadly, as humans are...later generations took this simple descriptive word and made it evil. By the 1400s, it had become the word we know today. How far we have fallen.

9:03 My Badger 200 and 150 have been my workhorses for decades ! ! !

The vultures on the Chaos knight is a nice touch ! ! !

The funny thing is. It’s not JK Rowling who would make the call to make a tv show, it’s the studio. So whilst she’d get money, she’s not the one making the call to begin filming to get more money

"Hi, how are you, do you play our games?" ;) stock welcome from 1997

Not a furry, and I don't get that culture, but live and let live. Plenty of other people out there causing actual harm to others.

Can tell you man, you’re airbrushing wrong. Zen can be achieved, but it takes a bit of practice and a little bit of learning the techniques. You can sit there airbrushing for hours if you mask off your models properly. I recommend you looking into it a bit more. Throw away your pride and try it. You might like it.

20 mins in, sounds like all hq did was read carl rogers book on counselling skills and person centred approaches, and i agree with you that this tactic doesn't work in a number of real life situations or with certain types of people.

His airbrush rant is so unrealistic at 8:30, every airbrush enthusiast will tell you they use an airbrush before telling you their name.

😅😅 The fading looks airbrush which looks great! It's a good looking knight.

The airbrush part was very entertaining. Airbrush painters were instantly getting all defensive, we know that. Great vids.

People who get off to children animals need to be exiled

Airbrush large areas, hand brush details . . . Simple . 😀

lolz there's a show on BBC called industry about City Finance one of the character who is a Gen X banker got caught taking Heroin and he replied it's only an addiction when you cannot afford it!

He’s not a pile of shame it’s a hoard of opportunity, do you have a date for the event I’m in Wakefield Not far from Doncaster, but also planning to attend UK games. Expo. At the beginning of June. So might be a little bit skint. Where can I find more details about your event please?

21:41 what if they are like trigger words, and GeeDub has groomed some sleeper agents to just assemble a rifle and take aim at the leadership at rival companies? “I can see it in my minds eye…” BANG

6:04 i painted this moddel as one of my first ones just in green colours and i think mine looks prety much like his (iam a beginner😅) although i kinda forgot the banner on the shield gotta fix that :D

With the airbrush comments...I would call myself a good painter, but do not judge me on my warhammer army. I can spend days painting a mini but 20 near identical models for an army, that is when I go all out on the airbrush and oils. Later steps will involce pushing highlights but that is about it. OOOh how about a painting critique by the excile some time that could be fun.

holy shit guy! :D you can tell you aren't an artist XD If you can paint a model 100% with an airbrush, that's pretty impressive.

I don't care what floats your boat just keep it behind closed doors

The alphabetreignbow agenda ain't political. Just like color bias ain't political. But, I digress. Politics is pro wrestling for people who think they're free.

as someone who bought an airbrush to save time.... Honestly? Its only good for large area's + base coats or your totally loosing details.

You know how North has to pause for tea? 25:47 I am rolling a cigarette before proceeding further. Brace for impact... Edit: GW is run by a malfunctioning computer of the ilk one finds in OG Star Trek controlling a primative civilization.

this pile of shame guy aint so bad. in my first 2 years i had 12 2k armies painted lol

Did OP say the furry was embarrassed? I thought he just said she was putting it back on?

"I air brush my arm pits" 😅😅

Bro! What is the beautiful ambient music in this video?

JC man. This channel is nothing but rambling on and on. I’ve tried giving these videos my time and attention but they’re all over the place.

18:10 I’ve been taking Lock and Load and it is *hilarious* like OG Mudbone levels.

I have met some nice furrys they are not all cringe lords. That said worse things could happen when you pull ones tail out... pop.

I see North is learning and moved subs ramble between the stories.

Have you seen you can buy Yorkshire tea Xbox controllers?

Hello North.. looking forward to new stories :)

Ok I've been binging this channel, and I just realized how often he uploads. Most of them being "Hobby Nightmares" episodes. It seems that these nightmare scenarios and people are so common in the hobby. I used to play 3rd edition, and was thinking of getting back into it. Now I think I'll just paint alone. You guys can have the petty BS.

Thank-you North

39:30 Oh yeah, the whole joke about the Rowling-thing is not merely a "she's a person of her time", because as you correctly identified, this is about politics, which in the end means, "not reality", but "beliefs, ideas, opinions." It could be religious complaints just as well, because the demands of the political activists don't even make sense. I have that stupid condition by the way, the one they make a kerfuffle about. It doesn't work at all as the activists say, or all those anti-aesthetic spotlight seeking people you see say, but there's 100-1000 more of those than of us. This whole topic has not been about science, biology, neurology, etc for a very long time. It has only been about the warped fanfiction of the activists/ideologues, and that means: Not us. I side with Rowling.

I’m sorry I’ve loved watching the channel but I don’t get what age has to do with racism if an old dude is resist it’s still not good they should know better

Little bit of context for the furry community (im one myself): genuinely like 90% of us just like art / making art, and dressing up since its fun. The other 10% is the more questionable, nsfw side of the community, the other 10% are somewhat toxic / gate keepers, and the other 10% is bad at maths. Wait... On top of this, the furry community is basically the entire global IT department, a solid portion of the worlds military, and there is a surprising amount of us who work in the nuclear field of science, and science in general. So we kind of control the world already XD

You should think about do a quick listen to your video before you post it, a quick edit to cut out of some of the hum-de-hum looking for files noises and wasted time re-iterating the same point 3 times. A little effort to make a higher production quality could put you closer to the same level of other people doing this kind of content.

I'd like to maybe correct the sentence you said "You're a trans woman, she's a woman, you are both women". The term you might've been looking for is cis woman, as it's the opposite of veing trans. Otherwise it makes no real sense. If both are women then cis women and trans women don't have a distinction, making J. K a trans woman as well.

You are wild for saying people can't be racist because they are old. Lmao People were certainly racist in Medieval Europe. Lmao 🤣 🤣
