1 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:05,360 Thanks. Thank you so much again, Alex, 2 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,960 for taking your time today to come and to come and jump on the 3 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,360 chronic command, right, and tell us your story about how you got 4 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:16,440 into the hobby and everything. Yeah, no, it's great to be here. 5 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:20,560 Thanks to the invite. So yeah, I guess background 6 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:26,240 wise, so I, I guess originally came in like a lot of people did 7 00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:28,800 with Hero Quest and sort of the Space Crusade. 8 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,320 So that would have been early 90s some point. 9 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:38,360 I couldn't say exactly when. So I would have been, I don't 10 00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:42,760 know, 7 or so 8, something like that when I was playing those. 11 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:50,240 And then I got into 40K second edition at the end of 94. 12 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,720 That was, you know, a Christmas present. 13 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,920 I can't say exactly. I think we just ended up being 14 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,840 on holiday at some point, you know, going into either a Games 15 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,239 Workshop or a similar sort of, you know, local hobby shop, 16 00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:07,520 wherever we were. And obviously you see all the 17 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,120 shiny stuff and convince your parents you want to get into 18 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,560 that kind of thing. And then basically I sort of 19 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,560 stuck with that pretty much all the time. 20 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,080 I didn't have a massive breakout, so I sort of followed, 21 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,080 I guess as they've changed additions and all that kind of 22 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,800 stuff. Originally it was just 40K, but 23 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:34,840 then you know, Warhammer 5th edition, various other bits and 24 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,400 bobs, things like Warren Mcquest and that kind of stuff around 25 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,600 that time. And then branched out into a few 26 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:45,600 of the other things. And then I got into historicals 27 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:51,280 as well, probably 2000, early 2000, something like that. 28 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,800 And then obviously you go off to university, you meet people, Me 29 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,720 being a complete nerd and doing physics, I was with other people 30 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,160 that were interested in this sort of stuff. 31 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,040 So I didn't have that sort of break that some people had, 32 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,960 which was quite nice. And then yeah, it's it's just 33 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:15,400 been mainly staying with the hobby as it is until, I don't 34 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:21,840 know, fairly recently I started, I suppose going back into my old 35 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,720 collections or picking up old stuff online. 36 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,000 I don't know, maybe 10 years or so back. 37 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,640 We played quite a bit of net epic. 38 00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:36,760 So rather than, you know, second edition space, I mean the, the, 39 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:43,520 the sort of slightly modified version and a bit of 5th edition 40 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,080 Warhammer. And then in the last sort of 41 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,040 couple of years or so, it's it's got back into sort of 2nd 42 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,640 edition 40K in quite a big way. So yeah, that's I guess the 43 00:02:55,640 --> 00:02:58,080 short version. Right, so that's good, mate. 44 00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,760 Yeah, I'm just looking at your YouTube channel. 45 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,960 That's how we sort of discovered yourself. 46 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,440 And of course you joined the Patreon. 47 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,160 So thank you again also for your for your support and patronage, 48 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,600 Alex. But I saw your profile thumbnail 49 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,160 and then I saw another video, I think LinkedIn, that Discord and 50 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,720 I thought, hey, that looks similar and I'm looking at it. 51 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,160 Now, yes, yeah, yeah, I. Think it's an orc? 52 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,000 Is it from the man Mangler? Yeah, it's one of the old. 53 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,520 I think it's the man Mangler. It's one of the old catapults, 54 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:30,640 definitely. Yeah. 55 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,640 Painted with watermelon rather than the The Rock I. 56 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,080 Was looking at the thing that looks like a watermelon. 57 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,960 You know, that's really funny. Yeah, well, he's, he was in a 58 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,160 slightly odd pose, I think, and I was encouraged to paint it 59 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:47,280 that way. And we'll leave it at that, 60 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:52,800 maybe. That's yeah, it looks like you 61 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,200 started your channel about a couple of weeks ago and it's one 62 00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,640 of these wonderful, you know, old Hammer second edition themed 63 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,880 miniatures and stuff like that and some great narration. 64 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,480 Well, we'll talk a little bit about that later, but I just 65 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,360 noticed on the back of your game shelf there, I can see here it 66 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,480 is. So maybe that's your original, 67 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,279 original box, yeah. That one is, yes. 68 00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:19,399 You might be able to see the space crew. 69 00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:22,840 So nearer the top, I don't know. That's the space crew, isn't 70 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,000 that's the more recent one of it's one of these things where 71 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,960 some stuff got rescued from my parents attic and I think some 72 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,960 stuff vanished at some point. And then, you know, you have 73 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,120 several house moves later and various bits disappear, don't 74 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,440 they? Yeah. 75 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,760 But I'm pretty sure that's the original one that we had when I 76 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:47,440 was, I don't know, 6-7 ish or whatever it would have been. 77 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,320 Yeah, that's wonderful. Do you ever break it out and 78 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,520 play it with the I presume? You have occasionally. 79 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,480 I don't have any kids, no. So it's just me and the the 80 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:01,080 missus basically occasionally, yeah. 81 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,040 We haven't played it for quite a long time. 82 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,200 I did get the the newer version that they did. 83 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:08,960 There's not really much difference. 84 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,760 I mean, as far as I'm aware, the newer ones sort of the American 85 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,560 version effectively rather than the slightly different rules and 86 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,080 that. But, and I think that just ended 87 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,160 up seeing a bit more play because it was, well, just 88 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,760 downstairs and easier to access, if that makes sense. 89 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,080 But yeah, it's, it's, I don't know. 90 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,640 I prefer the models in the old one, to be honest. 91 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,600 I can't get away with that. Yeah, I mean, there's quite a 92 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,560 lot of boxes on top of that here, request box. 93 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,560 So I hope it's OK and it's not getting crushed. 94 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:42,960 No, it's fine. It's fine. 95 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,240 There's yeah, there's some of those that are quite delicate. 96 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,120 They tend to end up near the top. 97 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,680 The Warhammer Quest 1 is somewhat worse for wear, but 98 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,760 that's because it's effectively got 22 copies of it in one box. 99 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:59,000 So yeah, sort of bursting a bit. Yeah. 100 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,240 I'm afraid that they've, they've had to go through multiple moves 101 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,320 and stuff, and they're not anywhere near as pristine as the 102 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,920 nice ones I see on your walls in your videos. 103 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,880 I don't know how you've managed to keep everything so nice, but 104 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,200 yeah. Well, I think I think a lot of 105 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:19,960 those boxes, well the the one the 5th edition one especially I 106 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,400 bought that like brand new sealed and the got you. 107 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,320 Yeah. And some of those boxes are seat 108 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:26,760 like they were sealed when they got them. 109 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,360 So that was really lucky. I got into it I. 110 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,640 Got into it just before it went crazy, so thank thankfully. 111 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:37,040 And yeah, other stuff sent to me by people or people just 112 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,760 donating their their old boxes, they well, they have got a 113 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,480 second box. They don't need the other boxes 114 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,600 slightly damaged. Yeah, a lot of, and I think now 115 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,040 you, you can actually print a lot of these boxes too. 116 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,720 A lot of creators are finding scans and they're scanning them 117 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:51,760 in. So OK. 118 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,600 Print them out. Which was really nice because 119 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:59,120 I'd love to get a an advance here request box set printed for 120 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,280 example, you know? Yeah, that would be really nice. 121 00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:04,680 Yeah, unfortunately, that's the one that that passed me by. 122 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,040 I think I was slightly too young at the time with the hobby and 123 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,680 then never got round to picking one up later on. 124 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,160 And as you said, now it's just absolutely crazy what that kind 125 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,440 of stuff goes for. Unless you, you know, happen 126 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,600 across 1A car boot sale or something. 127 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,240 It's yeah. But it looks like you have quite 128 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,560 a wealth of different kind kinds of board games and other type of 129 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,680 systems you play just looking. I'm just sort of interested in 130 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:37,000 looking at the background and see what kind of, I don't know 131 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,720 if that's like a rate more recent version. 132 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:44,200 Of Telesbury 4th edition one, I think, I think it's the 4th 133 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:49,800 edition, but I think Fantasy Flight might have done that one 134 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:54,840 off the top of my head. Yeah, a lot of these, 135 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,360 unfortunately, we haven't had them out for a few years. 136 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,360 So we moved about three years back where where we were 137 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,480 previously. We had a nice gaming group that 138 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,760 would meet up and play mainly board games, but occasionally 139 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,440 stuff like Warhammer, you know, pretty much every week. 140 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,320 And then, you know, you move for work or whatever. 141 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,720 And so they just sit there on the shelf gathering dust at the 142 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,360 minute, unfortunately. But there you go. 143 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,840 Yeah. Can I ask in what county or what 144 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:24,680 what area you're inmate in the UK? 145 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:31,080 So I'm in Sheffield, so in in Yorkshire, so pretty much bang 146 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,360 in the centre I suppose of the UK. 147 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:39,720 I before I was up in Lancaster for for 18 years or so. 148 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,640 So basically I'm, I'm from Sheffield originally. 149 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,840 I went up to Lancaster for university, stuck around there 150 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,840 for work and then moved back here three years ago basically 151 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,120 when my boss moved and then asked me to come with him. 152 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,440 So yeah. Right, so you you're familiar 153 00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:01,080 with the lead and steel event? It's one that I've missed. 154 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,320 I didn't realise it was, I think I saw a thing for it a couple of 155 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,080 years ago because they've done what, three of two or three of 156 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,800 them now. I I think managed to miss her. 157 00:09:11,560 --> 00:09:14,280 I know it's like in about a week or so though, so I'm intending 158 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,480 to, to go, go along. No, it's sadly one of those ones 159 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,280 that somehow it's, it's slipped me by. 160 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,080 But, you know, that kind of thing happens somehow, you know, 161 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,400 even it's just, you know, a couple of miles away. 162 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,240 Yeah, well, I don't think it's really openly advertised or 163 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:33,760 something. I think, you know, I had to sort 164 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,720 of fight or someone had to tell me about it or I don't know even 165 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,560 how I found about it, found out about it. 166 00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:42,240 So yeah, but it's good that they have something there that's sort 167 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,280 of an alternate to like alternate date and alternate 168 00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:48,960 alternate season to bring out your lead, which they're still 169 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,440 trying to find a date for as well at the moment, but. 170 00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:54,040 Yeah, it's. Good, good that these little 171 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,880 events are popping up so little games days that people can come 172 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,520 come along and obviously meet other people and say hey, you 173 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,200 know, I live in this area, you live there, you like this game 174 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:04,000 system. So do why? 175 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,280 How would we get together and play or find a club or something 176 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,440 to get to go to and meet up regularly which is. 177 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,120 Nice. Yeah, yeah, definitely. 178 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,800 I think it's just been one of those things that since we moved 179 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,880 it's just been a bit manic of work and that that I've just not 180 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:24,040 got round to to actually joining a local club, which is more on 181 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,120 me. You know, you get home and 182 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,640 you're pretty exhausted sort of thing. 183 00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:31,960 So yeah. Well, I mean, how did how did 184 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,280 Somewhere Deep Amongst Ancient Stars your YouTube channel, 185 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,480 which is an interesting name. It's a bit long winded, isn't 186 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:45,080 it? Yeah, well the the name was on 187 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:49,680 on on the blog. I, I, I started, which itself is 188 00:10:49,680 --> 00:10:55,160 not a particularly old when it's only, I don't know, 5 or 6 189 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:56,920 months old. That particular blog I have, I 190 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,600 had tried to do blogs before, you know, you inevitably get to 191 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,520 the point of, you know, you either keep with it or it drifts 192 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,000 off sort of thing. And I had a couple like that 193 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,960 before. But basically when I was getting 194 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,880 back into some of the second edition stuff, I thought I'll 195 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,760 start another blog, mainly because, well, partly because it 196 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,720 means I can actually keep a track of what I'm painting and 197 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,680 how I'm painting it, you know, that kind of stuff. 198 00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:25,160 It's a good place to, to put the things I don't have to find a 199 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,280 book that I've put notes in, that kind of stuff. 200 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,960 And, you know, you get a bit of interaction as well. 201 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:40,760 And then I joined Ed from Minnesota's sort of Patreon and 202 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,080 his Discord and that kind of stuff. 203 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,440 And he, he was running an event down in, in, in Bristol that I 204 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,480 went down to. So that was basically the start 205 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,720 of this month. And as you know, sort of the 206 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,320 build up to that kind of stuff. I've been writing some bits of 207 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,520 fluff and this kind of thing for my, the army that was taken 208 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,080 down. And I just sort of felt, you 209 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,640 know what, it might be fun just to do a recording of this 210 00:12:04,680 --> 00:12:08,160 because, you know, I, I dabbled a bit for, for work purposes, 211 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,880 putting clips of, of things together and that kind of thing 212 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:17,000 and found it quite interesting, enjoyable to do that kind of 213 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:22,160 thing. So, yeah, it was to some extent, 214 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,480 it was a bit of a spur of the moment thing to actually just 215 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,160 start it. I didn't really, you know, it's 216 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,800 not something that I planned for years and years and years or, or 217 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:33,280 anything. And yeah, it's, it's more the, 218 00:12:33,560 --> 00:12:36,840 the writing, little bits of fiction, I suppose, and then 219 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,240 thinking, you know what, I can try and take some OK ish quality 220 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,240 photos with them. And string them together and see 221 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:45,800 if there's any engagement off it. 222 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,800 And the fact that people seem to like it is, you know, always 223 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,600 it's really good. I'd probably keep sticking 224 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,040 things up anyway, even if I didn't get a lot of interaction 225 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,400 at the minute. So I mean, as you said, it's, 226 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,760 it's sort of early days. I mean, it's only been up about, 227 00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:02,200 I don't know, three weeks or something like that. 228 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,640 I'll just have to see how it goes. 229 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,200 But I mean, at the minute I'm, you know, really enjoying it. 230 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,520 It's nice to be able to just write these little bits and 231 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,400 bobs. It's nice to be able to, I guess 232 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:18,720 it gives me a bit of enthusiasm or a bit more motivation for 233 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,360 sort of stringing games that we have together. 234 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,800 If if that makes sense as well. So we don't really have a, a 235 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,520 specific overarching set of campaign rules or anything, but 236 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,600 it's just nice to be able to go actually, I'm just going to 237 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,560 string this along into a storyline and and work from that 238 00:13:35,560 --> 00:13:38,520 point of view. So, so that's basically where 239 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,360 it's, it's come from, right? OK, that's, that's interesting. 240 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,120 I'm just looking at your blog as well. 241 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,400 And a lot of those photos, images correlate to the videos 242 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,440 you posted up. I've got to say I'm in love with 243 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,560 the first, like the Mark 1 Thunder Hawk gunship you've got 244 00:13:53,560 --> 00:13:57,160 here for the old. Yeah, it's lovely where they're 245 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,160 from. So the, it's a 3D print. 246 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,600 So if there's a chat, well, I say chap might not be a chap. 247 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:13,280 I shouldn't say that, should I? I think the name is MK Giro. 248 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:20,600 I've I've put the, the name in the video descriptions for, for 249 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,000 when the the various, you know, prints that I've done. 250 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,480 So, you know, there's a lot of Doctor Sport ones, for example, 251 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,760 if I've had prints in them, I thought, you know what, I'll put 252 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:36,920 a a note in the in the video. So this person, yeah, they seem 253 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,920 to be quite prolific in terms of designing old stuff. 254 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,320 This I think a lot of it's probably designed for a resin 255 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,320 printer. I've got one of the filament 256 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,040 ones. So, you know, some stuff I 257 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,360 wouldn't be able to do. So, you know, they've like 258 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,280 designed like versions of like the, you know, the oak Artillery 259 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,320 and, you know, even just things like heavy weapons and all that, 260 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,520 that I think you need the the high fidelity type stuff for. 261 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,040 But for the for the larger things, yeah. 262 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:05,680 I mean, it seems to be to be really good. 263 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:11,720 Part of the motivation for that one was we'd printed one of the 264 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,600 big landing pads that Doctor Spock had done. 265 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:20,800 And I know that for the event that Ed from Minnesota was 266 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,400 running, he was going to basically have his landing pad. 267 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,880 So we took a bunch of terrain down as well to sort of help 268 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,120 with the with the set up. And I just sort of felt you have 269 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,120 to have something that goes on it because otherwise it just 270 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,000 looks, you know, wrong. You know, we've got to put 271 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,480 something on there. But you know, all the other 272 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,000 Thunderhawk things, they're like, you know, huge, the modern 273 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:45,120 sort of ones. There was one of the someone's 274 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,720 done one of the the sort of one that came out in second edition, 275 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,280 you know, the lead one that needs to fall, fall apart that I 276 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,560 think they've basically recreated all all the components 277 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,080 for that. So I was tempted by that, but it 278 00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,920 looks like an absolute nightmare to put together. 279 00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:03,440 So I thought that's that's not, you know, I'm not doing that. 280 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,800 So yeah, it was nice to find this this old epic style one as 281 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,720 well. But no, I mean here this this 282 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,200 person has done other things. So I mean, one that's that's 283 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:17,840 recent is I've got a an old drop pod as well. 284 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,720 So yeah. So that's on the on the thing to 285 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,560 sort of do with it's fabulous. Sort of. 286 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,160 Oh wow, that's cool. Yeah. 287 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,800 So yeah, I mean, it's it's nice having the printer. 288 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,960 It means that we can just do, you know, all sorts of train 289 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,360 stuff and, you know, various tanks and that kind of stuff as 290 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,800 well. So that's just AI guess a side 291 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,680 thing. I mean, I, I wouldn't go in for 292 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,120 printing as a separate hobby because I mean, you can get 293 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,000 really obsessive about it, but it's just nice to have one that 294 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,240 you can just go actually, I fancy one of these things, for 295 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,520 instance. Yeah, now that's nice. 296 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,040 I see a lot of sport terrain here, which is wonderful to see, 297 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,760 and I know that would adorn many of these classic 40K tables. 298 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,040 You're actually painting the same thing. 299 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,200 I've got that on my table at the moment, sort of filming. 300 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,839 Yeah, yeah, yeah, big. Refinery kind of thing. 301 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:18,040 Yeah, which is I'm hoping, I'm hoping he does the other one, 302 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,319 you know, the one with the vertical towers as well. 303 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:24,319 Yes, at some point, yeah. Yeah, I, I think it's probably 304 00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:26,920 on the list mate. I think for for Callum to do 305 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,280 that and. Someone else probably. 306 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,400 Is he? Is he going to do the Storm of 307 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,240 Vengeance one? I said mate, I'm sure that's on 308 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,280 the list as well. So he's going through and 309 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,920 ticking them off as he goes along and when he can do it. 310 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:40,920 So that's great. So I'm really happy that it's 311 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,440 been really a successful venture for him. 312 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,880 Yeah, yeah. Yeah, now you see like a lot of 313 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,440 eye candy here mate, in the photographs that I'm seeing on 314 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:50,720 your blog. So that's a nice one. 315 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:55,200 I'll add that to the the podcast description here. 316 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:56,800 So, people. Can brilliant. 317 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,760 Thanks. Yeah, along with the YouTube, I 318 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,480 have to say I can't take credit for the painting of most of the 319 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:06,160 train. So my partner Katie, she does a 320 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,000 lot of the train painting, whereas I tend to do a lot of 321 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,960 the models. So stuff like the fun dog and 322 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,120 that and the tanks. That's that's me. 323 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,720 But pretty much all the the terrain, that stuff that she 324 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,280 does, she seems to enjoy doing that. 325 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:24,480 I can't stand painting terrain. You know, I've looked out there, 326 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,080 you know, not only having a partner that plays games, but 327 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,840 also wants to paint the bits that I really don't like doing. 328 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:30,520 So. Yeah. 329 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,960 Wonderful. Well that's great you're doing 330 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,480 it together mate. So I'm I'm assuming that you're 331 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,040 actually playing the second edition games that you have 332 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,880 featured here with your wife. Yes, Yeah, yeah, basically, 333 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:48,640 yeah, yeah. So she got into it some point 334 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,120 during the 3rd edition and then drifted out again. 335 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,760 And then when we met in the university, sort of got back 336 00:18:55,760 --> 00:19:02,080 into it again. And I guess we've going back and 337 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:03,840 and and reintroducing her to 2nd. 338 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,720 I mean, actually what we did was we played a game of third 339 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,800 edition and a game of 2nd and I, I, it was a case of, well, which 340 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,680 one do you prefer? And it was nice that she was 341 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,720 keener on 2nd having not played it before. 342 00:19:17,360 --> 00:19:20,120 So it's just like, you know, OK, brilliant, good. 343 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,840 I mean, we, we, you know, she, she's, she's happy to play all 344 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,400 sorts of stuff. Realistically, she's got lots of 345 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:31,240 sort of interests in, you know, sort of history stuff and that 346 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,520 kind of thing as well. So it's, it's nice having 347 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,760 someone that lives in your house that you can just play these 348 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,000 games with rather than having someone that sort of just goes 349 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:42,920 what you're spending your money on. 350 00:19:43,120 --> 00:19:45,480 I mean, that there is that side of it though, because I mean, if 351 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,680 you're both into it, I mean, it's, it's, it's a bit more 352 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,520 difficult to say, oh, can I justify this or not? 353 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:55,200 Or should I justify this or not? Yeah, at least you can go halves 354 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:56,680 of it, then you can justify that. 355 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,880 Yeah, yeah. It's for, it's for us, not just 356 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:03,760 for me, it's for us. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 357 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,480 That's great mate. I've, I know my mate Todd in 358 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,600 Australia, he games with his wife and he's been doing that 359 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,360 since the 90s, which is wonderful. 360 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,120 So you know, that's really nice to hear that, you know, people 361 00:20:15,120 --> 00:20:17,880 do have a partner in their life that they can game with. 362 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,240 My wife, she actually said the other day she liked board games. 363 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,960 And so I said, OK, well, I've been looking for something that 364 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:30,640 we can all play together and maybe maybe do here requests 365 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,480 with her one day with my son and a couple other people. 366 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,080 Maybe I might try that and see if she likes it. 367 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:42,000 But yeah, if it it does help, it would help a lot if you have a 368 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:46,120 partner who's sort of at least halfway there with you in terms 369 00:20:46,120 --> 00:20:49,240 of what you're doing that that makes it much easier. 370 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,960 And and I think you can have a lot of fun. 371 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,240 We do have fun with card games. I think there's Dungeon Mayhem, 372 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,800 which is something I'll bring up a lot, a lot because Made of 373 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,160 mine or an acquaintance of mine introduced me to that game. 374 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,960 I bought it and she, she enjoys playing that with me and my son. 375 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,040 It's really nice. It's nice, fun, easy, quick game 376 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:10,560 you can play. Yeah. 377 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,280 It's like it's from Dungeons and Dragons basically. 378 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:18,320 So you have characters that you that you use these cards and 379 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,520 basically you're trying to eliminate the other party 380 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,560 members in the group. So it's like a, you know, PvP 381 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,960 type thing. So they've all got special 382 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,720 abilities and, and different cards within their deck. 383 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,280 And yeah, it's, it's fun and easy. 384 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:37,120 It's, it's, it's just something you can play, you know, and not 385 00:21:37,120 --> 00:21:40,000 get too, too involved with it. But I, I introduced loads of 386 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,640 kids to that and they all loved it. 387 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,640 So it's been really nice. Oh, brilliant. 388 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,440 But that's great, mate. I'm I'm glad that you know, 389 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,920 you've you've found a found a little thing, something that's 390 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,600 sort of, you know, that you can do aside to your hobby and tell 391 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,480 stories and stuff like that. So I was going to ask you about 392 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,160 that because that's all that's a skill in itself, isn't it, to do 393 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,320 all this sort of narration and write everything, all the 394 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,440 scripts and stuff. I do that for my videos as well, 395 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:06,880 which takes an awful lot of time. 396 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,520 Is that something that you sort of developed from the big like 397 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,040 from an earlier age that you like an early sorry when you're 398 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,160 younger, if I can speak properly when you're younger? 399 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:19,680 No, no, I know. I know what you mean. 400 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:29,960 I think it's something that I did bits of, I would say over 401 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:34,240 the last, I don't know, 1520 years or so. 402 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,080 I mean, well, maybe a bit longer. 403 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:44,240 So I used to do a lot of DM ING for what I'm a fantasy role 404 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,160 play. So I guess from that point of 405 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:52,960 view, you know, back when I was in uni, being the person that's 406 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,480 happened to be the, you know, happy to be the games master or 407 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,000 dungeon master or whatever you want to call. 408 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:01,320 You know, you end up doing little bits, don't you improvise 409 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,480 things, you write little bits down to sort of tie between 410 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,960 whatever's in your, you know, adventure book or, or, or 411 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:12,800 something like that. So I, I think it's, yeah, I used 412 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,600 to enjoy doing that kind of stuff quite a lot. 413 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,240 And then, yeah, I think just old snippets here and there. 414 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,360 I think it's one of the things that threw me into the hobby 415 00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:26,160 though, you know, all those little snippets of text that you 416 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,920 used to get in White Dwarf, you know, the bit before the battle 417 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,880 report or the, the various little stories that you get in 418 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,320 the, you know, your army book or your codecs. 419 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:38,320 It's like quarter of a page or half a page or whatever, that 420 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,120 kind of thing. I, I'm not very good at writing 421 00:23:42,120 --> 00:23:45,640 longer bits, I will say. So if it's, you know, a couple 422 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,280 of pages of stuff, that's fine in the sort of an essential 423 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,960 idea, that kind of thing. Actually writing a much longer 424 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:57,280 story or something like that, I think I would quickly lose 425 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,680 interest in in in doing that. Or, you know, there's not 426 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,680 normally a lot of planning that goes on in advance. 427 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,520 It's more a case of this idea just comes up and I go, oh, OK, 428 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:12,560 well, I can, you know, that one might make sense for something. 429 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,840 So, you know, for the background for, you know, the various chaos 430 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:21,160 stuff for the for Krulks war band on on the videos. 431 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,200 You know, it's a couple of paragraphs, you know, and I'm 432 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,160 just there going on. I'm just make up some names. 433 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,440 Let's just think about some kind of stuff that might fit to, you 434 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,640 know, some kind of depraved chaos character. 435 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,280 That's fine. You know, for the most recent 436 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:41,480 thing that I put up with these orcs, little bit longer, but you 437 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,240 sort of know how orcs are supposed to behave. 438 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,760 So one or two central sort of themes around that. 439 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,400 That's fine. But if I was, you know, asked to 440 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,800 write a full length novella, I'd just be like, God, I have 441 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,600 nowhere, no idea where to start. I have no idea where I'm going. 442 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,240 So, so that side of stuff I, I enjoy doing those little bits, 443 00:25:00,360 --> 00:25:05,600 which sort of ties into doing this for the, the one battle 444 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:09,480 report that's up. That's a bit trickier. 445 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,200 I've tried to do that kind of stuff a little bit in the past 446 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:20,520 on social media. So on Twitter or blue sky, you 447 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,960 know, sort of you take the picture, you say this thing's 448 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,760 happening, you take the next picture when the next thing 449 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,520 happens. I did that a couple of times. 450 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,160 I mean, once with a historical thing about a year ago, which 451 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:40,160 was quite fun to do, but it is trickier because you know, it's, 452 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,680 it's how do you take the notes? How do you do, you know when do 453 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,400 you want to do photos? When do you want to write down 454 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:51,600 what you think is going on? So I'm not sure I've got exactly 455 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,600 the best way to do it at the the minute that the most recent way 456 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,640 of doing it is I just have a notebook. 457 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,440 I scribble down roughly what's what's happening, take a few 458 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,040 photos and then come back at the end of the game and set some 459 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,960 lights up and that kind of stuff and, and try and take some 460 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:11,440 prettier ones. I think on that front with, with 461 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:19,280 battle reports at the minute, the, the aim is maybe once a 462 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,200 month, the might I, I will try to do a battle report. 463 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,520 We probably play two or three games a month. 464 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,600 You know, most, most weekends we might, you know, play a game or 465 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,960 do some other kind of hobby type stuff. 466 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:38,640 So we wouldn't want to do every single one because it then it 467 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,760 becomes a bit, I think of a chore because it is a bit more 468 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,080 effort around, you know, you have to interrupt stuff, don't 469 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:50,480 you, If you're sort of trying to record what's going on with the 470 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,240 with the game. So my aim is maybe trying to do 471 00:26:54,240 --> 00:27:00,320 11 the month or so I've got sort of the ideas for a few that I 472 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,360 want to do that would fit with sort of narrative hooks and that 473 00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:06,240 kind of stuff. Obviously most of them will be 474 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,080 second hand 40K. There'll probably be an epic one 475 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,560 at some point. I need to do sort of 1 476 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:18,440 beforehand with the, the Chaos and the Eldar stuff because the 477 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,200 only factions I've got painted for for epic at the minute are 478 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,400 Chaos and Eldar. So sort of do a small thing and 479 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,440 then do a, you know, epic one after that probably. 480 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,160 But yeah, that's I think the battle report side is a bit 481 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,240 trickier. It's, it's, it's, I enjoyed 482 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:35,920 doing it. It's just, it's more, it's 483 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:41,280 definitely more effort, I would say than just, you know, yeah, 3 484 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:45,520 paragraphs or, you know, up to a page and a half of, of narrative 485 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,400 stuff. Nice mate, yeah I'll have to see 486 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,520 some epic battles as well in your. 487 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:54,880 Channel yes yeah, yeah, I mean it it'll probably be net epic 488 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,040 just I, I mean I, I have you know, like the rule books and 489 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,400 that kind of stuff for for 2nd edition Space Marine. 490 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,320 I just don't have all the cards and that kind of stuff and the 491 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:09,240 forces are designed, you know, the the composition fits the the 492 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,400 net epic stuff. So it's slightly different 493 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,960 because they went around the nerfed things like the wind 494 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,040 rider hosts and and and whatever. 495 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,400 So less jet bikes for your points. 496 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,440 OK. Gotcha. 497 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,480 Yeah, yeah. Nice, mate. 498 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,560 Well, that's good. Yeah, we're about to sort of 499 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,120 embark on our own campaign. I think we're going to play 500 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,680 Titan Legions, which is sort of the 1.5 version of Space Marine 501 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,480 because that is a couple extra things, but it's almost exactly 502 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,000 the same. I haven't really dabbled in the 503 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,200 net epic. I know it exists obviously, I 504 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:44,720 just haven't really got into it but. 505 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:51,200 I think my main not really having played Space Marine, but 506 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,440 you know, having having read the book and, and, and that kind of 507 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,280 stuff, and obviously, you know, various reports or, or, you 508 00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,480 know, watching your videos or other people's videos. 509 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:05,200 I think the main change is the activation in the movement, I 510 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:10,600 think is slightly different, but aside from that, it's pretty 511 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:14,360 much the same game. And then they made some changes 512 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,600 to sort of the Army building basically. 513 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:22,680 And, you know, whatever your unit cards would be, I guess 514 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,800 they feel for balance purposes. But you know, it's. 515 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,600 Yeah, but it's, it's pretty much the same thing. 516 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,000 The sort of profiles are pretty much exactly the same. 517 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,360 The way you, you, you know, the way you move the what things you 518 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,200 need to roll is, is is pretty much identical. 519 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:39,160 Yeah. Well. 520 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:40,520 Cool. Well, that's good. 521 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,440 I'm glad, I'm just glad people are still playing Epic, and I 522 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,000 know a lot of people do play yes as an. 523 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,280 Alternative, yeah, I mean, I mean that was the main reason. 524 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,560 And now it's, I mean, I could print off all the cards, to be 525 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,000 honest. I mean, that would be the way of 526 00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:00,360 doing it because I mean, finding them online for a reasonable 527 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,440 price is a bit tricky these days, I would say. 528 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:08,480 I did try, as you might notice up there as well, there's the 529 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,680 Legions, Imperialis. I did try Games Workshop's newer 530 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:16,200 version, which is sort of inspired by Space Marine. 531 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:21,360 I would say it's OK. It's just because it's mainly 532 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,200 just Space Marines versus Space Marines. 533 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:31,400 It's a bit dry, I suppose. And, you know, has all that very 534 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,480 technical writing for how you you write your rule book that 535 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:38,720 they have with all their games these days, which is a bit of a 536 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,560 turn off. But, you know, I'm sure some 537 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,840 people much prefer it, you know, very clear rules. 538 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,760 But you know, you feel like you have to be a lawyer sometimes 539 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,240 to, to read it. Right. 540 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,560 OK, yeah. Oh, well, that's good that 541 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,800 they've made an attempt to at least reach back into Epic. 542 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,280 Yeah, in that sort of scale. So that's nice. 543 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:03,600 So what what's planned mate, for the future, for your blog or for 544 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,600 your YouTube channel? Can you give us some insights 545 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,680 into that? Yeah, so I mean, at the minute, 546 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,040 I guess there's a few sort of plot hooks. 547 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,840 So we have the the the battle report with the Space Wolves and 548 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,960 the Slanesh Chaos stuff. The idea is they have their sort 549 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,440 of separate things. So we'll have the Space Wolves 550 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:28,280 being attacked by the orcs, which is the the video that I 551 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:34,760 put up well, earlier my today your yesterday, I guess at this 552 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,120 point. So sort of that there'll be that 553 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:42,480 sort of plot element. So we'll have probably it'll be 554 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,320 maybe 1000 points. I've got to paint a couple of 555 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:52,080 units or finish painting a couple of units for the orcs for 556 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:56,960 that one. And then the chaos. 557 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:02,160 I have a sort of, well, I want to get to this epic thing. 558 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:06,360 So I, I have an idea about sort of doing a small raid and then 559 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,080 depending on the which way that one will go, there'll be some 560 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:13,040 kind of war portal or something, you know, sort of web weight 561 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,000 gate thing that people are fighting over. 562 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,120 Whoever wins that one, I'm sure we can then engineer that into 563 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,600 an epic sort of scale clash, you know, afterwards. 564 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,920 And then I've got a sort of separate thing with the the 565 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,640 small neck run force that I painted up over Christmas. 566 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:31,520 They're going to be sort of Raiders. 567 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:35,840 So they'll probably a fight between those and some sisters 568 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:40,560 because Katie's got a sister's army that she actually painted 569 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:44,920 for a more recent edition, although it's all the old, the 570 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,200 old metal models. So they've basically just been 571 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:51,320 rebased green recently. So yes. 572 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:52,800 Yeah. Well, I thought there was a bit 573 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,360 of, well, they don't really fit in with the new ones. 574 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:56,640 They're half the height. So. 575 00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:00,320 So if we brace all those green then yeah. 576 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:04,520 So, so we'll probably do that. And then at some point I've got 577 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:08,640 some sort of Rogue Trader era Ultramarines that are sort of 578 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:12,000 sat around on the desk at the moment that will make an 579 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,120 appearance. And there's various other stuff. 580 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:20,480 I mean, I, I've got bits for most factions knocking around. 581 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:24,600 It's just when, as and when I get things painted up, we may 582 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:28,920 introduce things. I've got the one that sat on my 583 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:32,240 desk that's going to take a very long time to paint is the 2000 584 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,560 points of Harlequins just sat there staring at me. 585 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:39,520 So that's going to take a long time to paint because I'm not 586 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,760 batch painting those. I'll go mad if I batch paint 587 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:46,400 those. No, no, it's just yeah. 588 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,720 So that's going to be a, you know, you paint one in between 589 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,120 a, a unit of one thing or, or whatever else. 590 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:57,280 So I mean, in a way it's it's to have a, you know, a nice amount 591 00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:02,440 of different factions so I don't get bored doing stuff. 592 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,040 I mean, quite happy to play with, you know, just one faction 593 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:07,920 for quite a lot. But it's nice to vary it up 594 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:12,199 because in second edition they are very different. 595 00:34:12,199 --> 00:34:16,760 It's not just, you know, cookie cut the space Marine, that space 596 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:21,480 Marine, that thing's basically a space Marine, you know, sort of 597 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,320 thing. So yeah, so that's that's 598 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:28,679 broadly the idea. As I said, it'll probably be a 599 00:34:28,679 --> 00:34:34,040 case of trying to do 1 battle report about a month and several 600 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,920 bits of fiction. I suspect it'll be a case of 601 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:41,080 about one video a week ish. Occasionally if I get really 602 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,400 inspired by something that might be an extra 1, but but broadly 603 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,760 that's that's probably what I'm aiming for at the minute. 604 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,159 I say that though because as I said, I I started it just sort 605 00:34:51,159 --> 00:34:54,360 of on a whim, so who knows, it might just go mad all. 606 00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:56,679 Right. Well, it's wonderful. 607 00:34:56,679 --> 00:34:58,760 I'm glad that you've got some plans there. 608 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:02,680 You've got an army there that have Harlequins to paint and and 609 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,160 pull your hair out. Over, I'm sure. 610 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,280 Yeah, probably. But it's wonderful that you come 611 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:08,960 on today. I really appreciate your time 612 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:12,840 today, Alex, in your evening, my morning and I'll have the guys 613 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,680 come and check out your blog or your YouTube channel and follow 614 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:21,960 along with we've got Krotz and we've got Warboss Nozbach. 615 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,960 So, yeah, yeah.
