Hello, everybody. Thanks again for tuning for
another golf talk this Thursday. The 13th, isn't it?
So, yeah, we're sort of powering through March.
That's the 12th. Sorry.
The 12th. Sorry.
You know, one day ahead of myself.
So thank you very much again for tuning in.
I know some people really enjoy these Gulk talks on their
commutes to work or back again when they do a bit of hobby
time. So hopefully this this episode
of Gulk talk this week will keep you entertained for a little
bit. I want to say a massive thank
you to a group of people who have joined in the last well,
since March 3rd actually. So it's Nathan.
Of course, it's was on our latest think.
Sorry, my favorite wiped off. So thank you so much again,
Nathan for being an all pain boy mate and appreciate your support
and appreciate your going through all of the posts here on
Patreon. I've been notified every time
you like something. So you've been really ravenous
going through every single podcast on there mate.
So I'll be getting some sleep a bit worried about you mate.
So, but I'm glad you're enjoying those and thank you very much
for all the likes and positivity and comments you're putting in
here on Patreon. Really appreciate that.
We've got Douglas Price, 80s commander, Nicaho doubter, and
Philippe Svenevelt Svenefelt maybe as our storm boy mob with
their boulders and flak armor only.
What about an inch of material of flak armor separating you and
a bolter shell and your orchid green skin?
So stay safe out there. I know how those storm boys just
drop like flies once the bullets start flying.
So have that all pain boy close to you there.
Have Nathan there so you can patch up and add some
modifications when needed to. So thanks guys for coming in.
I really appreciate support. I have not had any direct
contact apart from Nathan with these, with these other patrons,
so I hope to get to know you. And please leave a comment on
the Sep, send me a message or if I've been sent your message
already, then I just want to thank you very much for coming
on board and helping the patron grow.
It's always encouraging to see. And if that wasn't enough, we've
got a whole host of free members here, so I appreciate you coming
on. Maybe it's because of the Here
Emma fanzine. Maybe it's because of the
swearing Dungeon Master and advance here request sessions
I've been running lately, whatever it might be, and maybe
these gawk talks pulling you in, whatever.
Whatever that the reason is, I really appreciate you coming in
and becoming a free member. So we have Jacob Horriba, Nathan
Cantwell, Hiltis and Hoarth or Hoarth, Kyrgis, El Kara 42,
Paolo Peron, Baron sorry, Oliver Osterbrink.
And I think they were the last six days of people coming in as
free members. So I hope you're enjoying this
very Gork talk tonight. And also I want to thank a
couple other people that have just been in contact with me.
One is a gentleman out of Germany.
Darnest is his username on YouTube.
And he sent me a great set of files because we were talking
about maybe in the last thing August Friday, which I'm sort
of, I'll talk a little bit about that later for this coming
Friday for that tomorrow, but about link battles and all that
kind of stuff. And it's Tobias actually, his
real name, and he said, oh, well, there's some, there's some
articles that were written back in White Dwarf.
I can't remember exactly which issue is 195, sorry.
It's 195. I've got it right in front of my
face, The Custer campaign. And there was 1 written for
fantasy. The one written for 40K.
This would be second edition fantasy.
I think it's 4th edition. Yeah, going by the logo.
And one for Epic and I believe this is Titan Legions, so around
that era. And they've got some, it's got
some great little, it's a, it's a great little narrative
campaign. I think there's like 3 games you
play like 2 small ones and one big large one from what I can
see of it anyway. But it's based on a historical
battle fought for Custer's Last Stand.
And yeah, I mean, they're all doable.
I think we can do those with either a collection of different
people's armies. Like for the Empire will be like
Sam and my own stuff together. To make for that, I need to
paint up a lot of forest goblins and savage orks, because that's
what I think that's what the lists comprise of.
They don't have any other type of orc in there or goblin.
So that's a good incentive for me any, if anything, just to
paint up those wonderful models. I'm really look forward to doing
that and epic squad doable. Is this orcs and elder?
So we've got vast collections of those and 40K elder and
imperials. So again, I think it's quite
possible to do it. I know Sam's got a beautiful
imperial army which I hope to get him up here one day and we
can do a nice Imperial guard verse orcs battle report for you
guys. Or if if Paul has his Eldar
painted, which I believe that does pretty much all aspect
warriors. He picked up the deal of the
century in Japan. He picked up it would be in five
of all the aspect warriors. So the pounding banshees, the
dark reapers, striking scorpions, howling banshees, if
I haven't seen them already, probably have.
Well, the Dire Avengers missing anymore, it was those and a
couple of characters. I think for about 300 bucks,
there's like 3 like three ¥30,000, which is the equivalent
of like $300 Australian, which is like 150 lbs.
I guess I don't know much that is in U.S. dollars, but yeah, he
found it on on one of our sort of local trading sites.
Will sell like it's like an eBay for Japan kind of thing.
So you picked them up. Bargain, mate.
Absolute bargain. So, yeah.
So I don't know how far he is with that.
I know he painted up some of the models, but it'd be good to have
some elder on the tabletop at some point in the future.
But yeah, they're really good. They look pretty good.
So I look forward to having a look at those in more detail.
I'd be going through them, reading them as one of the Gork
talks in the future and going through each one and maybe just
have a look at the the actual forces and the background and
all that kind of thing. And as I do want to sort of
tailor these chats to something like a theme behind it, I think
that'd be nice as well. So, yeah.
So thanks again, Tobias. It was really, really kind of
you to send me that e-mail and tell me all about it.
We also have Andy. I'm going to go through his
first White Dwarf, which is 149, and that looks like a pretty
cool issue. It's in the glory days of when
that those those issues are around for me anyway, I think, I
think that's a Simon Forrest edited White Dwarf magazine from
memory. I've just got it over there.
I'm just too lazy to reach over and grab it.
But it's got some cool stuff in there.
It's got like, you know, the standard sort of old hammer
games like 40K Rogue Traders, got some Empire sort of third
edition rules in there for the War wagon.
Lots of squats and stuff in there, Space Hulk.
So yeah, look really forward to doing that with Andy.
Just waiting to hear back at a time and a day we can actually
get together and do that together.
But I'm really looking forward to presenting that to all of all
of the viewers on YouTube and of course, doing a raw dwarf for
you lovely patrons in the future.
So I hope you look forward to that too.
Now we'll go into our hobby Hangouts.
There's not an awful lot to cover at this time, so that's
OK. Keep it nice and short and
sweet. I know everyone's really busy
these days, but I do like to see the contributions made by some
of our patrons here and it's always inspiring.
Now, the first one I'll actually do is Back to Front.
So the most recent. So there's like 12 hours ago
that's Shiro and that's Adam who comes to Japan every now and
again and he you saw his wonderful forest goblin army
featured in one of the one Renaissance battle reports I put
on the channel and he's got to scave an army, which is amazing
too, which there also is a video here as well from one of our
games days. Anyhow, we talked about doing
the Doom Doomlord, Revenge of the Doomlord scenario, and he's
actually started, he's compiled all the miniatures together and
now he's actually started painting him.
So he's got an amazing looking skeleton regiment here that's
all finished and looks fabulous. Looks fabulous.
So yeah, I'm really excited about this now and seeing how
it's going to evolve and turn out of the course of his
painting journeys with that. And then eventually, if we can
line, if all the stars align and he and Sam will come here and
they'll play out the actual scenario.
But I think that's not going to be any time soon.
It's going to take a long time for him to paint all this stuff.
And again, it's going to have to be, you know, when he he's
coming here to Japan for work and he has to come up all the
way up here and also getting Sam to come at the same time.
So we'll have to come up together as a tandem and come up
for the weekend and play some games.
So yeah, looking forward, that'd be really good.
John has got some Dark age. He's getting all dark age on us.
So he's got some Viking trader and a Norman knight that he's
painting up and it looks great and totally encourageable.
All that sort of historical stuff.
Anything to do with the hobby, please post it up.
It doesn't. And I think maybe people think
it has to be like 90s games, special games, not necessarily.
It can be anything you're into that you're painting that's
gotten the work desk that you want to show off, please be,
please feel free to show it off. It'd be great.
So, yeah, I like all that sort of, I'm sort of getting more
into that kind of these these kind of games.
I was never really a skirmish guy in the in the day.
But I do see the see the appeal of collecting small war bands
and having a having a, you know, bit of a, a bit of a tussle on
the on the on the turf on the gaming table with them.
So I know guys here in Tokyo are really into their saga and I
still need to give it a go. So and give it give it a try out
and see what I think of it. But there's some great man of
manufacturers and models out there and look at foundry.
I was looking at the what they call it again.
Shit, it's not crusade miniatures, is it?
Look just looking at their website today, because it's been
what Claymore castings that's right out in Scotland.
Really beautiful models, beautifully hand sculpted
figures. It's 100 Years War, which I'm,
it's another, it's probably one of the most interesting
visually, visually anyway, nights and all that heraldry and
pageantry. Yeah, it looks really cool.
Looks really nice. And yeah, so I'd like to look at
Yeah, just having a look. Just curious to see what kind of
models they had there. And yeah, they're beautiful
miniatures, really beautiful. And Medbury, Medbury Miniatures,
also from Australia, surprisingly down under.
So they're, they're making some really nice models too.
But yeah, some great stuff out there.
So I'm really glad you're enjoying your, your non GW stuff
mate, and taking a break and enjoying some dark age stuff.
But Ted here with some beautiful trolls.
I mean, the skin tones on here that you're getting out of these
models are really fantastic. So because I saw the earlier
base coats and I can see now all that work's been put into
building up all those layers and making that luminous green skin,
which I'm sure those Nostalgia 94 paints are really helping you
out with that. And also the glazes because you
get the whole, you get the whole entire set.
So that would have really helped.
And it's obviously evident in what I'm seeing here that
they're they're really looking pretty sharp mates.
So you must be really happy with those.
Oh, sorry, you're saying Big squeak of beer 2 went the
whistle and we've got Jim here with his glorious row of Rough
Riders. And yeah, they're really nice.
So you're putting a lot of detail on those.
Yeah. Just be glad you've got so many
of them there, because I know I I think I mentioned last in the
last podcast that they are really hard to come by from what
I've heard. So you are the king on the hill,
mate, with those guys, especially metal ones.
I've never seen metal ones before.
Never heard they existed. So even more special Nathan
Graces with his I think very first post here on the hobby
hangovers with his cat converted chaos chariot, which looks
splendid. It's got a converted the cold
one that the at the at the one that's pulling the cart.
There's a quite a big Beastie. I think one of those cars where
I was going to have to watch out for that tail lashing them.
And he might be collected by a tail and just thrown overboard
in that charity if he's not too careful.
So, yeah, like, you know, I think people are very brave when
they start cutting up models and converting them with green staff
and, you know, sort of just hoping and praying everything is
going to be sort of realized and visualized what they had sort
of, you know, envisioned at the beginning.
So it takes a lot of courage to do that, a lot more than I have.
I don't really dabble with green stuff.
I just, I found it. I'm just too impatient with it.
And I just would just muck it up before it actually became
anything. So you could have a little
patience and building up layers and layers and layers and layers
of it. Of course, Kim at Kim's Talisman
is a great, you know, example of how to really get out, get the
best out of green stuff and all that converting work.
And he's been a great inspiration in terms of that.
So very nice, Nathan, and I hope you've got some more progress
done on that. And we get to see small images
later. AD has finally managed to land
in a period of Titan for a reasonable price with only a few
repairs to do, but not much. So that's good to see, mate.
If anybody needed Imperial Titan, definitely AD Wood would
be the top candidate. So it's got a scale comparison
between that and I can't remember the, the company where
you bought these other big old Gargens from the track wheels
and everything. I was trying to think about that
for when I talked to Graham this week.
And now spot another for that back on event on the 26th of
April. But that could be a good sponsor
there for their for them too, to get one of those sets out there
as a giveaway for the charity. So yeah, we'll see mate.
But that's great to see you've got one of those.
And we equally look forward to seeing you painted up Chris's,
Chris's Chris had the had the the sparkle put back into his
his paints when he painted up this lovely looking wood elf
wizard. Are they Wizards?
Wood elf Wizards, Wood elf shamans.
I don't know what they call it actually.
I'm thinking wizard and or mage. Isn't it mage, Wood elf mage.
That's right. But yeah, it looks lovely.
It's good to see you've got the the nipple highlights in right
the right places. You know, 1 one to have to the
left or right in the wrong spot or up or down.
It could really throw it out at work.
So you really concentrated there Chris.
I could see mate you've, you've really honed in and you've got
them some symmetrically perfect. So well done mate.
I'm sure she's very happy about that.
But very nice to see you're getting back into the swing of
things. And I talked to Chris not so
long ago, actually, and I hope that he and Cameron can get
together and find a halfway meeting point to get a game of
5th edition in. Once the Call of the Crown is
over, Cam will have his cast wolves and Chris will have his
Woodall farming. They've painted for it, and they
get to go and play some games. That'd be really good to see,
and we'd love to see photos of that at some point in the
future. Matthias has been entertaining
since with a curse. I think it's called the Curse
Company. So these are undead
representations of different races.
So he's got a really nice looking high off here with
beautiful non metallic metals done on them.
And yeah, you know, nice, really nice bone colours and
everything. Good contrast there.
So it looks very catching on the eye.
Nice gemstone. Yep, very nice work Matthias.
You're you're doing great work there mate.
Never been into painting hills, but now I'm making the
exception. Yeah, that's right mate.
So if any, if any race needed an undead version of them, maybe
there'll be a ton 1000 times better as an undead replication
of of an high off. Just imagine undead arches with
ballista school four. And what is the toughness of a
skillet? Is it 3 or 4?
Karim? Now, I know they're really
expensive. They're like 13 points or
something like that each or whatever, But yeah, that's a
good point. So I know Matthias is working on
some nice beautiful sort of sword effects and everything,
like magical sword effects. I think there's another model
from that particular curse company, Richter Kruger.
Kruger, I think the Damned is done well.
He needs a shield, but otherwise he should be good.
So that that look a really interesting looking unit when
you finish it, mate. I look forward to seeing that
now. Ted's been printing out more of
these paint holders that he's sort of mounting on a wall in
his hobby room, and it's nice to see all those nostalgia pots
hanging in there. They're they're a beautifully
vibrant looking range of paints. If anything, I'll give them
that, that's for sure. So glad they went for the bottle
pot, the drop of bottles rather than the flip tops personally.
And David's working on his Slanesh Knights, you know, for
an epic game with Adam on their Sunday and on Monday we get to
see them on the Spider Netter. So I'm really looking forward to
that. Johnny will be there.
Well, he'll try to anyway, as long as he is his big boss
approves. And so the four of us can just
can talk about Epic and they talk about their day of gaming.
And you know how they met? I spent, I think they met
through the Patreon, I believe. And now they're gaming a lot.
They're doing war master projects together, Epic, Space
Marine, Tight Legions. So yeah, it's really nice to see
those guys gaming and doing stuff together and enjoying
their the labours of all that hard work and money spent on all
these glorious models. Tony mate, just a big shout out.
Thank you very much for sending me a Grom the Chariot because
I'd actually, I think we both remarked and laughed that we
forgot about all of this. And you, you messaged me ages
ago about it last year sometime. And then, then they got an
e-mail. Then I, I was wondering, who the
Hell's Anthony? Then I realized it's Tony.
And then, you know, sort of traced back the messages and
realized, oh, yeah, we did talk about that a while ago.
And I'd just forgotten about it. And then he sent it to me along
with a big box. And I thought, what the Hell's
in this box? And it turned out to be some
terrain that he very kindly donated to me and which is very
kind of him. But as I explained to Tony,
unfortunately I just don't have the room any anymore here in
this in where I am now. It's very difficult and I need
to get more shelving and I'm looking to invest in a new
cabinet as well to just increase the spaces.
I've run out of space for miniatures.
And yeah, it's just a we are at full capacity here.
So I said I know someone who's going to enjoy that.
So I got in touch with Martin down in near a local game store.
He said, Yep, I'll take them to be great.
So he's very happy he got those today, I think.
So he's very happy with those mates.
So thank you very much again for that.
There are these sort of high density foam or like preformed
foam or something like that. Then he him and his friend were
making together and yeah, they're, they're really, you
need to get the size and scale. They're really good for that.
So you get like really big high heels with very steep Cliff
faces or impassable Cliff faces. So yeah.
And of course it's much lighter. It's, you know, it's fairly
durable. So it's a good material to make
stuff out of, that's for sure. But I'm so blessed with Doctor
Spork's terrain as well, and I'm trying to find space to put
them, you know, So it's been a juggling act of putting things
here, putting things there. And my entire, my entire
wardrobe here is filled with terrain and stuff as well and
games and everything. So no, one of my wife rolls her
eyes every time she walks past the whole thing.
But yeah, mate, you've, you've painted a, you've painted your
son what can only describe as being a, a giant toad on an
abomination or floating disk. So I hope your son never
tortures you, Tony, with this thing in a game of fantasy, even
though you say he's not a hobbyist, but he loves Total War
Warhammer. But it's a beautiful,
beautifully painted present. I'm sure he'll I'm sure he loves
it. And he'll be, you know, looking
upon the and adoring that big toad on his big floating
pedestal for years to come and thinking of what torture I could
I could put on a bite my opponents in gangs of Warhammer
on the table top, which I'm sure he'll do one day and you'll get
you'll get him. You'll get him the bug.
You say, look, mate, now just take Josh's advice.
You know that they'll beat anything, anything you want to
beat. Just bring this thing and some
Soros guard and that's all. That's all you need.
Just the Death Star and nothing can touch them.
And if you if you, if you feed him enough of the of the lizum
and height for long enough, he might say, yeah, let's do it
Dad, let's get let's get the stuff on the table.
I want to see how this thing goes so you can entice him in
that way and then you destroy him.
That's the that's the way you do it.
But I'm sure you'll get that to the table at some point with
him. It'd be great.
Now we've got oh, hang on my, my, my browser just crashed on
me. Must be talking about Lizum.
And that's why the curse. We've got Jim playing some 3000
points of cows carnage with his epic space marine.
Looks like it's, it looks like Nergal and Sunesh.
Are they diametrically opposed? I forget who it is.
Nergal. Was it Nergal and Corn?
I can't remember now, but maybe Nergal and Sunesh are sworn
enemies. And it looks, yeah, it looks
great with the new terrain and you've got little cactus plants
on there and everything. So it's nice to see you're
getting some games in, maybe solo, maybe with your nephew.
Don't know mate. But great to see you playing
Epic. I can't wait to get my Epic
stuff out again, that's for sure.
It's been too, too bloody long, that's for sure.
And I need to get back to Chris as well about that because we
had talked about it and then things just got away from once I
get my tax done, which has been an absolute motherfucker.
I can tell you. I've just been talking to Nick
about it today. Doing, trying to do your tax
online in Japan is an absolute. It's hell.
Hell would be a better proposition.
I think you can either go to hell or do tax in Japan.
I think I'll take hell. So yeah, it's been quite the
experience I can tell you today. So a lot of cursing has been
said, which I'm sure the computer would would really
appreciate. But once we're over that, then I
can start thinking about doing some remote gaming with people
as well, because I do want to do that for especially long term
patrons and you know, long time supporters and, and try to give
them some extra, extra entertainment through the months
and that kind of thing as well. So we were taught about doing an
epic game. We had played one previously, I
think it was Squats and Orcs. And I really wanted to do the
Eldar and the Space Marines 1. So yeah, we'll try to get that
back on track, mate, once this week's done, once my teaching.
My my teaching is almost wrapped up for this term.
So that means I've got a lot more time.
What more free time to do to do other stuff, which would be
really good. I can't wait for that now.
So he's getting to remote game some man of war.
He's spreading the good word and and converting people to the
high seas of the old world with the separate Tonia.
And what else is there? High elves must be high elves.
So yeah. So Chris has been the champion
of that. He says remote gaming isn't
dead. No, it isn't.
You're doing a fine job out there mate.
On Discord sharing the love of Man of War.
And Matthew is enjoying some vintage cider at 8.2%.
Bloody hell is going to put an elephant to sleep.
Henry Western, I think it's called.
So I hope you enjoyed that, mate.
Not a cider drinking myself, but I suppose in England it's kind
of a, it's kind of an alternative to beer, I suppose.
And it's cider. Yeah.
I've got to try it again. Maybe that might be good for me.
You never know. 8.8 point 2%. It's certainly going to put me
to sleep pretty soon, that's for sure.
But he's working on some goblins, and he's got Mrs. Raven
and Mr. Jet overlooking him on his projects as project
managers. They're doing a fine job if
they're not sleeping. And, and what else we've got
here, we've got. Let's see, let's see, let's see.
I'm just sort of scrolling up, sort of going back to front.
Matt pointed out that Citadel color will no longer be a
syllable color. For some reason, they're going
to change it to warmer color. So if you've got the Japanese
katakana at the bottom there. So instead of relabeling
everything, I suppose that's makes that makes a good point.
If you have to relabel everything in Japan, let's make
one label and that's going to be that's going to be it.
So, yeah, it's a shame to see the Citadel brand go.
I know they're just talking. This is next review.
You see paint pots and accessories branded.
OK, so everything's been rebranded.
So the Citadel, I suppose the Citadel name will just drop from
that. But they still use it for their
miniatures and everything, I'm guessing.
But yeah, seems weird. I really like the old label.
Yeah, Citadel, you know, in that font and everything.
Don't know. Well, let's say it's their
choice. Some wise young executive came
up with that one to to justify his pay grade, I suppose.
Matt's got some new new cheap brushes from eBay, he says.
So why not? Why not indeed?
These are hobby heaven. Hobby heaven.
Seems like I may have seen one of their ads or something pop up
on my feed at some point. But let me know how they are,
mate. Let me know how they are because
I've got the golden Maple brushes, which I I'm not all
that, you know, like they're not bad, but I think the, the 20
brush, I just chucked it out straight away.
It was just crap because it's absolutely absolute shit.
So I mean it was just as bad as the other one I got from
Vallejo, unfortunately. So I'm looking at other paint
brands, looking at Pro Art as one of them and going back to
Rosemary Co would be another alternative.
And just trying my hand at another set of Valeas and just
hoping they're OK because valet brushes are very good and
they're they're readily available here.
But yeah, I know you can get better quality brushes because
the the valet ones, the desk columns, they don't even say
they're sable, which is really weird because usually always
say, yeah, it's pure sable or it's Collinsia sable or
something where it's a blend of the two, blend of synthetic and
sable. I mean, they are sable brushes,
but it's just strange. They just never really, I don't
think they've ever seen anything on their on their actual handles
or anything like that. But yeah, I mean, you know, the
Rosemary and Co ones are really good and Pro Art is probably
another brand I'm looking at now.
I know they've got some good, good reputation as well.
So and I know Ed is working on his pain boy with his snips and
it's like a plasma pistol and it's in between two barricading
pieces of terrain. 1 is a a can of looks like IPA and another's
a glass filled with IPA. So two large canisters would
cover a -, 2 to hit. So I don't know if he's enjoying
that more than you or you need that.
It's a very freaky looking hand too, mate.
That label. Bloody hell.
Wouldn't want to meet her in a in a nightclub anytime soon,
would you? With a snake like tongue and a
cobra coming out of somewhere out of some orifice.
Yeah, I don't hesitate to say where, but it's got, I think,
fruity at the top. She doesn't seem fruity to me,
but I hope that went down really well, mate.
Like there's no cobra venom in there to really intoxicate you
with whether what you'd be turned into a snake bite, you'd
be paying snake bites and what Chris drilling out and
magnetizing his man of warships. These are the orc fleet.
So that's a good idea too. You know, magnetizing stuff is a
good idea. Especially going to take them
around in trays. We need to transport them, I
think. I think the man of warships are
one of the most fragile with those masts.
They can easily snap, which might have done on several
occasions. And it's, yeah, it's just all
plastic. It's very brittle and frail.
So it makes sense you're going to just magnetize them down to a
metal sheet and keep them, you know, keep them safe.
So that's great. So that's all the hobby
hangovers to this week, guys. Thank you very much for your
contribute contributions and I hope you enjoyed me rambling and
rattling on about those for you this week.
Now we're going to do something a little bit different.
I really thought about I thought about this through the week and
and I thought it'd be really nice if we can have a look at
some of the comments. Now.
One of the things that people like to do now, I obviously go
through comments because it's something that, you know, I'd
like to check because you know, people upload a video and people
comment. I like to respond and read their
comments and that kind of thing. So I thought I'd go through one
of the videos we've done and read out the comments because I
know a lot of other people wouldn't have the inclination or
time to go through and check out all these comments on YouTube,
which is totally understandable. I don't even do it for other
other videos, for other people's videos.
I just put my comment in there and that's it, you know, But I
think some people make a point of actually going through and,
and, and giving a thumbs up because I know some of the
comments have got like, you know, over X amount of likes.
So people must go through and check them and read them and
like them, which is kind of an aspect of YouTube that I never
really considered doing. But yeah, it's a good one.
It's a +1 because the more likes you get, obviously the better
the algorithm, you know, takes to it or whatever.
So I'm going to read the comments for collecting and
painting war games armies with Doctor Spork and I hope you guys
enjoyed. If you do enjoy it, let me know
in the comments if there's something you'd like me to do in
a more on a, you know, as a segment for these Gork talks on
a regular basis. I'll go and pick up a
publication that we've done previously and read the comments
out as I really like them because sometimes they're really
inspiring. Sometimes they're quite sad
because they're throwing away something or he got lost in a
flood or, you know, it got stolen or whatever.
But sometimes, sometimes they're really positive and great
because they're, you know, they think, Oh yeah, I love that
book, blah, blah. You know, so let's let's read
what they say. So goober IT Gubrit.
Lovely bunch of old school armies there.
Big thanks to Josh and Doctor Spork for bringing us along
these custom car craft world. Elder had some magnificent
freehand stellar stuff. Yep, they sure did.
I think that was Uranus. Uranus.
What's his last name? I forget now but really talented
guy. What's the next one, say a magma
XYZ? This is my first ever Games
Workshop book. My brother picked it up.
My brother picked up the 3rd edition Orcs codex.
Same as picked up at the same time.
Great. So wall paint JJ Jeremy here.
OK, so this is actually one of the people that were featured in
the book. One of the Lisbon armies I
believe. Jeremy here.
The ink varnish that was used as a glaze on selected areas.
The skin mostly. Gav Thorpe who interviewed me
after winning best painted army at Lenten.
Got that mixed up between pen and print.
He also made-up the Army list. Fun to hear your views and
revisit the book. Thanks gents.
So it's pretty cool. So it did sound really strange
at the time using inks and varnishes for glazing or
whatever. So obviously it got it got mixed
up between, like you said, between him interviewing him,
writing it down on a notepad and then later publishing it here.
We've got here Art Nichols 5095. I had this and I just read it
over and over and over. Such inspiration to get my ass
back or ass ass back on the painting table.
So that's good. It's good.
If that's a motivating for you factor for you, then more the
merrier. That's great.
Storm Seer 88. I have this book.
I can feel the nostalgia. Thank you for this.
You're very welcome kind of fix. Yay John W5154A big thank you
for Callum's designs and STLS. They're great and I hope more
are on the way. Really good for us retro
collectors and second hand 40K players and fantasy armies.
Cheers. Good on you John and Goss you
paints. Great video.
I love seeing these 4 armies shown together and this video
format has a ton of was a ton of fun to watch whilst I paint some
metal slayers. The noise Wahama aesthetic was
phenomenal. I see why you mainly paint this
era of minis. Cheers Josh and Doctor Spork,
this was great motivation. So thank you very much because
your paints. Glad you enjoyed it mate.
Tom Adora mustache says all those lovely armies.
Yeah, I'll have to get my head around what project to actually
paint for your next painting challenges.
Talking about the call of the crown, which should be happening
I think in October this year. Mike *88 that Dark Crusaders
Space Rain Force really has the perfect size for a 40K army.
Yep, it sure does. Ruler 87.
It doesn't make sense how many times I could read this book.
Yeah, well, I think the the back contents too, all the contents
at the back of the book really has a lot of good stuff in there
as well to look through and read through.
Chris Snyder 412 O Thanks for this episode, I had to go and
buy my own copy of this book and love it.
Good stuff. Chris Stone horse gaming just
started my lunch break so perfect timing.
Loved that book back in the day. Edit forgot about Richard's
Imperial guard, saw them in real life on the table.
He worked at the Leeds GW before I worked there.
Great bloke, he helped me a lot with my painting.
Oh that's good to know mate. Excellent.
That's Ross. Holy diver 539, badass undead
army 10K painted for free. I want to compensate those boys,
those boys, they got hosed. That good old HD Eric 1558.
Great video, brings back memories.
Good stuff. We love the nostalgia.
Memories of a time. Much better if if if we're
talking quite frankly here. Matt W 1987 Perfect timing to
watch fully on my lunch break. Hope you enjoyed it, Matt.
Richard Rodgers, DJ 7 QO. Yay.
Another great one. Have this in the collection.
Just oozes personality and a certain something we have lost
from the modern hobby. Modern world probably.
Or maybe I'm getting old, mate. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I totally
agree with you getting old and the other part as well, mate.
Luca Giuliano or Galliano. I still remember the day I
bought it and how disappointed I was in Rick's army.
Yeah. I mean, you know, it's it's I
think that's one of the things about that book, which is good
because it sort of shows off realistic painting on, you know,
on figures and armies and stuff like that.
Of course, you got really ex exceptional.
It's it's Jonas something I can't remember that guy's name.
I think he's Danish. I think Jonas is, yeah, really
talented guy, you know, super, super painted.
But then you had other PE people who had, you know, very modest
paint jobs, nothing, you know, amazing, but they look
cohesively good and technically wasn't, you know, jumping out at
you. But yeah, still, I think, I
think Rick's army still has some, you know, you know,
cohesive color scheme merit to it.
And it's sort of fairly neat and everything like that.
I did like the conversion for Techless on the horse.
I thought it was pretty cool. Mr. S1, Chris picked this book
up last year just for the horse painting guide, which I haven't
got around to painting yet. Oh there you go mate.
Well you need to get that out. JVC paints good old mate James.
I remember when when this came out and was a little miffed they
didn't have a chaos fantasy army and they never thought about it
again until today. Some great looking armies in
there. Double lizard men just for you
Josh. Yeah there certainly was mate.
But you're right, there wasn't any Chaos armies, which is
strange because usually Chaos featured very heavily.
In the 90s especially. I still remember a guy playing
in the 4th edition tournament I went to in Brisbane and he took
an entire unit of beastman. That was all that was in his
army, a beastman, a general. And I think he had something
like 90 beastman or something like that in just one huge unit.
Yeah, that was good. That was good.
I like that Krinken 5982. Regarding trolls, you can
counteract their stupidity by attaching a character to the
unit. At least that's what I've seen
people do in 5th edition. Not sure about other editions.
Yeah, you certainly can. I'll even see people put a
goblin on a giant spider with a giant, which I thought, hey, I
never thought of that. That's a pretty good idea.
So yeah, whether you can actually.
Can you have giants in units? Don't know.
That's the one to ask the the Warhammer deep dive team.
You know, Dave, can you actually have like you can have you can
have single trolls and you can have trolls in a unit.
Can you have multiple giants and stick them in a unit?
I wonder. I did hear from my old mate down
in Newcastle there, Mr. Kent Fury, Mr. Death Breath and Death
Death Breath himself, that someone actually ran a giant
army back in the old days of 4th edition tournaments and 5th
edition tournaments. They ran it.
They ran a giant army for Orkin Goblins, which would have been
pretty, you know, thinking about it, that is a pretty cool idea.
And yeah, I don't know what would love to see in photos of
that. OK so man 9176 says.
Can't believe I saw my copy way back.
There you go. It's a bit of a regret comment
there. Planet Turbo TV, Good old Mad
Brad and Choco Doco 4855. That black and red niggash looks
really good, especially for its unjustly rival for for an
unjustly reviled miniature at the time.
And Darren Richardson, 6146. I always forgot this book exists
out of all the various guidebooks GW used to put out.
Yeah, well, I, I don't think I'd seen it until someone mentioned
it, you know, the last few years.
So I'd, I'd never seen it before, probably because I got
out of a hobby when that that book was being produced.
I'd say Ben's Miniatures. That spider is definitely
sitting on a beer coaster. Yeah.
Another great video, light and hype mate.
Thank you very much. And that's all the comments for
the classic collecting and painting war games armies with
Doctor Spock. So hope you guys enjoyed that,
right? Well, I think we're sort of
nearing the end of our chat today, so I hope you guys have
been enjoying your hobby week. If you can start posting up
photos now, especially if you're one of the news new patrons,
show us what you got. So Nathan's put his little,
well, not little, but his photos of his charity in there.
He's converting. I'd like to see more people's
work that they're working on, work in progress shots, stuff
they're buying or what have you in the hobby hangover so we can
talk about it next time. Also having to talk to Nick.
Nick's going down to salute now that's on the, was it the 11th
of April? Let me just check that.
I think it's the 11th of April, 11th or the 12th.
I think it's the 11th. This is Saturday.
So he'd be going down. And if you're going down to that
salute this year, please get in touch.
Yeah, I'll leave a comment under in this video here for this for
this podcast, I should say, so that you can possibly meet up
with Nick for a few beers and check out the it's the first
time he's going and I know it salutes a big event.
So it'd be good just to hang out with people and socialize, I
think more than anything else and see all the display games
and be loaded traders there and all that kind of stuff.
So that'd be really good. So I hope you hope you guys can
meet up with Nick this year at salute and I've had a lot of
people asking me, are you coming to coming to bring out your
lead, Josh, blah, blah. Again, I don't know.
I can't say for absolutely sure, but I still want to Nick today
because he asked me again. I said, look, you know, if I
don't come, you guys should definitely go.
You should do the the gathering of mighty Painters is not
carrying the mighty painters Gathering of might, gathering of
might, White Dwarf, you know, scenario together.
That'd be awesome. You know, that'd be really nice.
So there's lots of people there with videos and cameras and you
know, they can shoot stuff and that kind of thing.
I at this point, I can't guarantee anything.
It's an awful lot of money. It's an awful lot of commitment
to go something like that. So yeah, look, if I can't make
it, we don't even know the confirmed date as yet.
And when I do, when that does drop, I'll let you know and
we'll go from there. But you, you guys should
definitely make a big turn out this year because you just don't
know how many years this event is going to be going for and
it'd be a shame to miss it. So you should definitely go down
there. People who have who have already
reached out and said, yeah, we definitely want to go or reach
them going. I think Matthias also Matthias
Hedgeham is also planning. He's already booking his
accommodation and can change it if he needs to depending on the
date when they're actually going to run this thing.
But it were really nice to see a big turn out of the chronicle
man community there on the on the day, especially if in the UK
you've got no excuse. You can definitely get down
there. So start start planning now,
guys, start planning that now. I would.
And as soon as the tables become available on the website, start
booking a table in and yeah, get some doctor sport terrain on the
tables. Get some wonderful or you'll be
good to have like what what Johnny's doing with the Call of
the Crown. I reckon that would be a good
idea, getting call of the Crown people down there with their
armies and you know, having what he's doing there with that thing
and Nottingham is doing on the in April.
Was it the 4th of April? But you know, doing something
like that, having one side of all the forces of good and one
side of the forces of evil and who cares if there's like 1000
points a difference or whatever and just go at it.
You know, I think that'd be really good to see.
Even if something like that, that'd be really nice as well.
So, yeah, but no, thanks for everybody reaching out, asking
about that again. I can't confirm.
I cannot, I cannot confirm or deny at this stage.
But I'd love to see you guys there.
That'll be made. That'll make me really happy.
I, on the other hand, would love to go to Australia again this
year if I can to see my folks because, you know, those years
are getting shorter and shorter and my son is really looking
forward to going as well. So if anything, that will
probably be my first priority over anything else, you know,
trying to get to see the family as much as possible, especially
for my son, you know, that's probably most important thing.
Has a good connection and can meet his, can meet his
grandparents and all that and see them.
And I didn't have much chance of that when I was a kid because my
mother's grandparents were in Holland and only met them I
think 3 times maybe. And so yeah, and my cousins and
all that would never hear, so never in Australia.
They were always in Italy or the Netherlands.
So yeah, I want my son to have good, a good connection with his
uncles and aunties and he doesn't have any other nephews
or nieces or not, sorry, cousins, I should say.
So yeah, it'd be good to have that sort of my my sort of main
priority really. But if you guys can go start
getting ready, guys, start getting your own gathering of
might ready for bring out your lead when the more information
drops on when it's going to be right.
Well, I'm going to leave leave you and love you now love you
and leave you. And I hope you guys have a great
weekend. I hope to have a thank August
Friday video at tomorrow. Did I talk about that?
I can't remember now. Been too many few many two sips
on this beer, I think, But if I haven't talked about it, then I
will be. I've been doing a vlog over the
week. So every day I've been taking
some footage of something, I've been painting projects, usually
commissions and stuff. I haven't really done, I can
touch anything of my own stuff. This week been pretty bloody
tragic really. And it's like Thursday night
now. So, but that's the way, that's
the way the week's been going really just flying by and I need
to, I need to keep on track of, of commissions to obviously get
paid and pay the bills and pay the big boss.
So that comes first, unfortunately.
But yeah, I'm sort of doing that every day.
And I also want to sort of splice in some sort of, you
know, things I'm doing regularly.
Like today I went to my local shrine when I take my son to
school. So I took a little bit of
footage of that so you can see a little bit outside of this place
that I'm working in and practically living out of and
sleeping in. So you get to see a little bit
out of out of here and it gives you some sort of, I don't know,
cultural backdrop or something. Maybe, you know, to Japan,
living in Japan and that kind of stuff.
So hopefully find that interesting as well when I when
I do put those in there. But for now, guys, look, I'll
say cheer cheers to you because I've still got half a can left
to to enjoy this Thursday evening.
And yeah, well, I'll be back soon with something.
You'd be rest short of that. There is a podcast coming out
soon, probably over the weekend for you guys on Patreon here
with We all mate. It's inti I think from Redbard
Games, nice guy from Spain so I hope you guys enjoy that.
And also, Matthias has dropped another little gem there of a
battle Report deep dive. So I'll need to get stuck into
that and work on this fantasy one Renaissance battle report
and hopefully have that out by next week sometime.
And hey guys, so cheers to you all.
Have a great week. Take care of yourselves and
we'll catch you again next time.
