Oxford. 4 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:17,640 Oxford, right? So in the South, just a bit 5 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,280 above, right? OK, because I was just taught 6 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,080 what I had. I don't know if, you know, we do 7 00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:25,400 those splatter natters on the live stream on the channel. 8 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,800 And Johnny Watson, he's also in Oxford. 9 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:31,800 Oh, is he? Well, he lives very close to 10 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,200 Oxford and he's looking for people to, to game with. 11 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:39,040 And I, I got him and AD Wood, you know, like from White Dwarf 12 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:40,280 fame. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 13 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,120 I'm a ready 1 here. Yeah, he's going to go down and 14 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:47,080 have a game with him. So if, if if you're looking for 15 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,480 people to play with, then yeah. Definitely. 16 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:55,040 That's always I mean. Cool, yeah. 17 00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,080 And the other I played a game of 5th edition 6000 points of a few 18 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,680 old friend, well an old friend from school recently as well. 19 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,960 But other than that I only played my brother really so it 20 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:07,800 would be good to play as some of the people. 21 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,440 I watched the advanced hero quest video. 22 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,920 I loved Owen's narration, was great throughout the whole 23 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,360 thing. Yeah, it was awesome, wasn't it? 24 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,120 Yeah, No, he he did an absolute brilliant job. 25 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,760 And I've just sent the I sent the second one yesterday. 26 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,240 I finished during the editing. So he's going to work on that 27 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,360 the weekend and send it back to me, which we brilliant. 28 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:29,920 Now. I'll finish off editing the 29 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:35,000 video and upload it next week. So about Wednesday, I'd say. 30 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,360 So, yeah, looking forward to doing that. 31 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,200 And then yeah. And then starting on the next, 32 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,600 the next quest will probably take a bit of bit of time to get 33 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,960 that all sorted. But I I've just acquired the 34 00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:50,120 last piece, the last model that troll, that troll I was talking 35 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,280 about. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 36 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,120 The moral one or. Yeah, that one, I got it from 37 00:01:55,120 --> 00:02:01,000 the States through my sponsor. He got it through some guy in 38 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,520 the on the, on eBay there. We made it. 39 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,480 We made a deal with him. He wanted, I think he wanted 440 40 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,840 U.S. dollars and I think we did it for 30. 41 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:11,880 So that wasn't too bad, you know. 42 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,400 Yeah, still, I guess the Prostage is just the killer. 43 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,520 I'm guessing for no, for for Japan. 44 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,160 Yeah, but he's, he'll send it to Scott and then Scott forwards it 45 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:25,960 on to me with other stuff. See, that's my connection mate. 46 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,440 Good old Scott from I checked. Out your sponsor's website. 47 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:31,640 Actually, we got some pretty good stuff. 48 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,040 Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's got some good stuff on 49 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,880 there. He's got like just boxes and 50 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,360 box. Probably you got the same, let's 51 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,240 say Richard, but just boxes and boxes, boxes for that. 52 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,920 He just hasn't got around to ever getting photographed and 53 00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:47,800 catalogued and put on the on the site. 54 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,440 So, yeah. So, yeah, I mean, the only, the 55 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,360 only reason I found out about you and your site was through 56 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,160 Scott at Black Arrow. So thanks to him, I discovered 57 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,840 your site. Yeah, because I was looking for, 58 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,400 for advanced request, I was looking for like human fighters, 59 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,920 like adventurers and that kind of thing, like the old Citadel 60 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,560 fighter Rangers or Marauder miniatures or something like 61 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,400 that. And he said, and I asked, of 62 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,360 course, I first asked Scott and I said, you know, do you have 63 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,240 any of these in your, in your boxes or whatever? 64 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,960 He said, I don't think so, but you can always try Demon's Lair. 65 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,760 I never heard of it. So he sent me a link and I 66 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,480 checked it out and I thought, oh, OK, he's got some, he's got 67 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,680 some nice stuff in there. So I was checking through your 68 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,720 site as well. And then I looked at some of the 69 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:34,800 Scaven and as I was doing, as I'm now almost about the start 70 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,040 of Commission for a friend of mine, a patron of mine in the 71 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,240 States for a big Scaven army. I saw you had some plastic 72 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,200 monopole Scaven with Shields and everything, bases and Shields. 73 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,040 I mean, it's unthinkable. And that for a very good price. 74 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,840 So I thought, OK, I'm going to grab a couple of those and, and 75 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:56,720 then it all went from there. So I, I don't, I don't feel bad 76 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:01,840 about shopping elsewhere outside of my, my sponsors online web 77 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,720 store. But it is a bit bit Scott was 78 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,320 like, Oh yeah, he's got some great stuff. 79 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:07,680 I'm going to order some stuff as well. 80 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:12,440 So you might have got an order from Scott also picking, picking 81 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,520 some up things up. And yeah, that's great. 82 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,880 It's, you know, it's all networked together. 83 00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:20,040 There are things in America which you can get easier, and 84 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,959 then there are things over there that you can't get easier, I 85 00:04:21,959 --> 00:04:24,600 think because of the history of GWI Guess. 86 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:26,360 Yeah, I think you're right, mate. 87 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,720 Yeah, absolutely. He was talking about the other 88 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:34,600 day, I was talking to somebody we talked about, that's right. 89 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,840 There's another, another gentleman in the US and we're 90 00:04:38,840 --> 00:04:42,680 just talking about a Commission I was going to do for him and he 91 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,600 we talked about that. Like I said, I don't think he 92 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,480 knew that that the US produced they had, they actually had 93 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:52,160 their own foundry in Baltimore and they would produce a lot of 94 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,880 better miniatures there. I didn't know that I ever 95 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,240 actually. I was always assuming they're 96 00:04:57,280 --> 00:04:59,560 sending the UK over there back in the 80s. 97 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,280 But yeah, makes a lot more sense, right? 98 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,240 Yeah, I'm pretty sure they're producing miniatures there. 99 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,400 I mean, someone could probably quote me to say I'm wrong, but 100 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,720 I'm pretty damn sure they were because a lot of the, a lot of 101 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,560 the product that we got in the in the 90s in Australia was from 102 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,600 the US. And it was all in that white 103 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,880 tin. And like really struck like 104 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:23,720 highly high density sort of 10 metals that you'd get at that 105 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,680 time. And apparently it was all out of 106 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,280 the US. That's where they got all their 107 00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:30,160 stuff from. That's quite interesting. 108 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,000 So they're using a different metal than the UK were at the 109 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,520 time. Yeah, that because of the laws 110 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,640 there, they had to use stuff without any lead in it at all. 111 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,920 So they had like this white metal what they called in at 112 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,160 that stage. And I think the UK sort of 113 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:50,400 followed suit, I think not. So not so long after that, yeah. 114 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,760 I think in the mid 90s we granted the proper white metal, 115 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,400 didn't we? But then maybe beforehand we cut 116 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,400 out the ladder bit. Yep, that's right. 117 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,760 Yeah. So, yeah, some some interesting 118 00:06:00,840 --> 00:06:05,040 bit of history there for America and their involvement with 119 00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:07,200 production of Siddell Miniatures. 120 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,080 But mate, yeah, I asked you one Richard, to see, you know, how 121 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,440 you actually got into this wonderful. 122 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,200 Well, a hobby of ours. How was that? 123 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:19,360 How did all that all start? So originally, I guess it was 124 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:26,760 1993, we had a Games Workshop in Oxford which I would walk past 125 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,360 all the time. My mum would let me in and then 126 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,120 she had my brother in once without me and he came home with 127 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:37,600 a box of the plastic monopose orcs and I got so upset because 128 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,000 I wasn't allowed to go in, you know, because I didn't, I wasn't 129 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,720 there when they finally went in. She took us a few days later and 130 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:50,640 then my first set was the Rogue Trader plastic box, which kind 131 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,240 of just set us off completely. Then we would go there every few 132 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,240 weeks, spend our pocket money because back then they had like 133 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,880 1 LB blisters where they would have sales and they'd get rid of 134 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,800 the old stock and things. So we just get whatever kind of 135 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:11,880 whatever was cheapest skeletons or old Imperial Guard from the 136 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,760 80s, that kind of thing. So yeah, so it was about 1993 137 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,040 and then we got Warhammer Fantasy Battle 4th Edition for 138 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,080 Christmas. But yeah, and that kind of 139 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,840 really got us into playing it. And then Blood Bowl as well. 140 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,160 And we'd, we used to do karate and we used to bring like a 141 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,720 massive suitcase of all that Blood Bowl teams and Blood Bowl 142 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,760 to all that karate grading because we'd be there for the 143 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,960 whole day and we'd just play Blood Bowl when we weren't 144 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,200 actually doing anything we were obsessed with. 145 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,160 And then Necromonda came out and we absolutely loved Necromonda. 146 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,240 And that's that game, even during like everyone has a dark 147 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,480 period where they don't play anything really normally. 148 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,800 I think, you know, there's a bit when they become a late teenager 149 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,840 or in their 20s when they kind of get out of the hobby a bit. 150 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,840 But Necromonda was always the game that kind of brought us 151 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,120 back into playing because me and my brother, basically we had the 152 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,000 same kind of thing. We we played at the same time. 153 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,760 So yeah, so it was mostly throughout the 90s. 154 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,200 And then there's a little gap for a few years at uni and then 155 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:16,960 we came back and played more again. 156 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,400 Never interested in the modern editions though, to be honest. 157 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,120 With Fantasy Battle we played quite a bit of six and then we 158 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,080 just made our own version, combining lots of different 159 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:34,120 things, but with the old models, which were always our favourites 160 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,640 to be honest. Metal was always the best, I 161 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:42,120 think. Yeah, and now still playing a 162 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,080 lot. Mostly the old world though, but 163 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:50,080 using like 80s and 90s models because it's quite hard to find 164 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:56,000 anyone to play for pip edition with obviously and Rogue trader 165 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,760 40K I'd like to play at some point because it's been about 25 166 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:04,640 years. Or. 20, you know, 28 years maybe 167 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:09,320 since I've played and I've been collecting a classic metal orc 168 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,720 army for the past few years, trying to get every model in the 169 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,080 range. So hopefully at some point I can 170 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,480 actually get a gamer van. But yeah. 171 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,920 And then we play things like Frost Grave and stuff like that 172 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,960 as well on the side. An advice here, request my non 173 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,440 gaming friends, they've endured quite a bit. 174 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:29,960 Excellent. Wonderful mate. 175 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,240 Yeah, that's great. You've got advanced here 176 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:35,400 requests back on the table. And I take it the adventurers, 177 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,200 like you say, non gamers, they're just sort of, but it's, 178 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,320 it's a great way to sort of get people into playing something 179 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,200 with you, isn't it? It's a great gateway game, I 180 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,400 think, and and they really enjoyed it as well because you 181 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,320 can have a laugh with with advanced hero request right 182 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,880 it's. Yeah, yeah, Henry Hyde is 183 00:09:54,880 --> 00:10:01,400 another guy from Battle Chat and Henry Hyde, he he also played 184 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,360 Advanced Hero Quest back in the day and he still loves it. 185 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:10,120 And he he get when he has like a dinner party, his guess will 186 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,440 he'll he'll bring out advance your request to get them to play 187 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,560 it at the dinner party. I think that's a really great 188 00:10:15,560 --> 00:10:16,520 idea. Yeah. 189 00:10:17,680 --> 00:10:20,760 I don't know if my wife would be too too keen on doing that 190 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,720 without our guests somehow. But yeah, maybe maybe for some 191 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,600 some people and some mixers. Yeah, it it it would work. 192 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,560 Well, yeah, it depends. Yeah, I, I you know, I mean and 193 00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:33,360 maybe that you know, if advance your request is too much to try 194 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,480 normal your request, which is way too easy, but yeah. 195 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,120 Yeah, nice. Yeah, no, they, they had a great 196 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:46,560 time with it and they, you know, I think it's a game where you 197 00:10:46,560 --> 00:10:49,280 can just make up a story and if you've got a good DM or is it 198 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,600 AGM in if I ask you a question or Adm I figure. 199 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,760 Is it? Fancy master or game master? 200 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,840 DM because of the DM counters. Yeah, I think DM yeah. 201 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,840 Been the dungeon, yeah. So yeah, yeah. 202 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,560 It's, it's, it's been a great game that I've really enjoyed 203 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,480 playing now through Discord. So because I don't have like, 204 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,520 you know, I don't have the luxury of having people over the 205 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,000 play. It's really difficult. 206 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:21,800 So Discord has allowed us to reach many other people and then 207 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:27,840 have them come in at like I've got a host of American, mainly 208 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,880 American people that play with us because of the time zones, 209 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,760 because they work really well with Japan. 210 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:38,360 And I found a great, great bunch of guys who who really enjoy 211 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:42,200 playing it so that they wouldn't also have the chance to play it. 212 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,920 So we do here requests and advance here requests through 213 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,320 Discord, which works really well. 214 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,760 Board games work perfectly well for that, even to the extent of 215 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,000 playing Blood Bowl. We played Blood Bowl as well. 216 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,720 I did that the same thing during the the pandemic actually with 217 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,040 my brother. Yeah, yeah. 218 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,840 Nice. Yeah. 219 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,800 Great. Yeah. 220 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,960 What what teams do you like to play in Blood Ball? 221 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,760 My favorite because I played an online blood ball game called 222 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,800 Fumble which existed for a long time. 223 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,880 I think it's still there and I always played undead there. 224 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,240 So undead have become my favorite over the years. 225 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:23,960 But when I was a kid I used to like the dark elves a lot as 226 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,120 well. Although now I I really don't 227 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:30,920 like elves very much at all. So definitely undead will be my 228 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,360 favorite. I don't win many games, but 229 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,000 that's not the point. It's, it's more, you know, just 230 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,520 try to try to win and enjoy it as everything goes wrong as 231 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,480 you're trying. Yeah, don't roll that one 232 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,000 basically. And your your brother, what kind 233 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:52,280 of teams does he sort of favour? He is a big fan of chaos stuff. 234 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:57,240 He loves beast men, so yeah. So beast like a Chaos, Chaos 235 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,000 Stars would be his favorite, I think at the moment. 236 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,520 Or the Chaos Dwarf team, whose name I cannot pronounce. 237 00:13:05,560 --> 00:13:08,280 The Ziggurats. That's really some great models 238 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:09,840 on that. Yeah. 239 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,440 And he collects like he's got thousands of rounds of Chaos 240 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,520 models for Warhammer Fantasy and things as well. 241 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:19,040 So he's all about the Chaos. Nice mate, actually talk about 242 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,000 Blood Bowl. I got a delivery in from my good 243 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,560 mate James in the states for a painting Commission on the On 244 00:13:23,560 --> 00:13:26,600 the Dark Ill team, so I look forward to painting those. 245 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:31,040 I've never painted the Dark Ills Blood Bowl, but I actually quite 246 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,360 like that team. I'm not an elf guy myself, but 247 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,600 actually that that team's pretty funky looking. 248 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,600 I think the the witch elves with all the I think, I think the 249 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,640 paint the studio painter. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 250 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,280 Cool posing, you know, punching the air. 251 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,360 But yeah, they look quite cool. I look forward to doing those, 252 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,200 actually. Yeah. 253 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,520 Excellent. So you, you talked about playing 254 00:13:55,280 --> 00:14:00,320 also fantasy and you are now playing Old World, is that 255 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,320 right? The Old World games locally. 256 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,680 Yeah, with my brother again, but he plays like in local 257 00:14:06,680 --> 00:14:08,960 tournaments and a local games club which I need to join at 258 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:13,720 some point. But yeah, I I have like skate a 259 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:19,720 big scaping army, a big empire army and and dead army as well. 260 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,880 And then we have like orcs and goblins shared between us some 261 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,280 if you have a thing shared between us. 262 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,120 So we kind of cover, we can cover every army in in the game 263 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,160 pretty much apart from high elves, wood elves and Dark elves 264 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,640 because I don't like elves so. Yeah, you're not alone there, 265 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,800 Richard, don't worry. But are there many arguments 266 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,120 with the brother when you play games or you're pretty? 267 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,120 Not anymore. If you not anymore OK. 268 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,280 Yeah, we've got a policy. No, no arguing when we're 269 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,240 playing games. All right, OK. 270 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,760 Not taking it too seriously. At one point a few years ago 271 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,400 maybe we took it a bit too seriously and then we realised 272 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,840 how stupid that was. So no arguments anymore, 273 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,120 luckily. Yeah, that's and I got. 274 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,560 Into losing as well, so you know I do not remember. 275 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,760 Is it, is it, is it the dice more than the tactics or do you 276 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,080 think it's a bit of both? I'd say it's both. 277 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,720 It's both, definitely, yeah. I mean, my diet rolls are 278 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,800 atrocious. If you can, every time, like 279 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,360 comes to rolling for my artillery, you can guarantee one 280 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:28,640 of them is going to roll a wide every turn. 281 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:33,080 Basically, I'm not right when I'm misfire, so I misfire every 282 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,720 turn and then they'll blow up afterwards probably. 283 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,920 But tactically I'm not. I'm not very much. 284 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,400 I like to play just to have fun, so I don't try to think about 285 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,320 how to smash my opponent really easily. 286 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,720 And I think that's my mistake. I kind of, you know, I hold 287 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,720 things back or I kind of just charge in too early depending on 288 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,200 what's going on. I can relate to that. 289 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,960 Yeah, I think I do the same. I think that's why I always 290 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:03,200 tended to go with Orkin goblins as a, as a default, really, 291 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:07,040 because it's just surge forward. And but yeah, I, I, I've enjoyed 292 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,040 playing with the guys here because you get to see, you 293 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,520 know, different ways of playing or different ways of thinking 294 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,800 about playing, especially why I'm a fantasy. 295 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:21,280 So that's been interesting. Now you did, you did mention a 296 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,640 few classic specialist games like Necromander and Blood Bowl. 297 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,880 Did you, Did you, you and your brother ever get to play Man O 298 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,480 War at all? Actually haven't played it but 299 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,280 I've recently got a copy of my friend in France as well. 300 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,800 Beyond he sent me the expansions as well. 301 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,840 So I've got a copy of Man of War and Plague Fleet and I forget 302 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,680 what the other one see of blood. See of blood. 303 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,920 And a couple of fleets as well, like an Empire fleet and a Chaos 304 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:52,760 fleet. So I really want to play at some 305 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:57,080 point, especially since the first White Dwarf I ever had was 306 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,400 the one with the plague fleet on. 307 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,560 And I remember opening it up and looking through all the cool 308 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,960 pictures and seeing, you know, all the awesome Man of War 309 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,440 stuff. But yeah, I'm hoping to play it 310 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,200 this year actually. Oh, great, mate. 311 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,079 We'll have to. We'll have to cover that White 312 00:17:12,079 --> 00:17:14,440 dwarf with you at some point in the future. 313 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,240 For my first White Dwarf, I'd love that series doing that on 314 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,839 the on the channel. Yeah, I love listening to seeing 315 00:17:20,839 --> 00:17:22,680 all the odd magazine environment when I was a kid. 316 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,200 Yeah, mate, which would definitely do that because I 317 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:29,600 love that cover, that Mark Gibbons colour Plague Fleet 318 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:30,600 cover. That's awesome. 319 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,240 All right, well that definitely book that in at some point. 320 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,920 So that's cool. Yeah, I think you, I think you 321 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:41,080 guys would absolutely love Man O War, so you should definitely 322 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,720 try it with a brother or with another friend locally. 323 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,160 It'd be great, mate. Yeah. 324 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,560 At some point you must have come up with the idea of starting 325 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,560 your own web store and and collecting and selling 326 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,600 miniatures. How did this all come about? 327 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:04,840 So I used to be a teacher and then I was in a car crash so I 328 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,920 got a slight head injury so I can't teach anymore. 329 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:12,760 So I was looking for things to do instead and gaming is always 330 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,600 one of my hobbies so I do tutoring on the side. 331 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,480 But then I thought, you know, I'm always buying models, like 332 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,880 load, like I buy massive lots just so you can get things 333 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:23,400 cheaper. I give some to my brother, then 334 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,840 I keep some to myself and there's always loads left over. 335 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,520 So I was selling on the Facebook groups, the old hammer groups 336 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:32,360 for quite a long time just to cover what I was spending. 337 00:18:32,360 --> 00:18:34,680 And then I thought actually I could turn this into a business. 338 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,280 It would be a really good idea. I'm rubbish with technology. 339 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:44,960 So making a website I, I, I started like, I realised that 340 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,680 eBay was very, I don't really like eBay very much when it 341 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,840 comes to selling stuff. I would rather be in charge of 342 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,480 things myself. So I I used Shopify which is 343 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,240 actually quite easy to use even for someone who is absolutely 344 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:01,760 rubbish with computers. It is the reason why the website 345 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:06,520 is not the best designed website in the world for finding things. 346 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:12,160 I've been told it's like going into Aladdin's cave, which I 347 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,520 think it's a good thing and a bad thing at the same time, but. 348 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,360 Yeah. Yeah, so it was about a year ago 349 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,880 I I was going on the Facebook groups laying out a grid and 350 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,440 putting models on the grid and taking photos of a grid every 351 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,120 time. But that is a real ball. 352 00:19:28,120 --> 00:19:31,240 Like after doing it time after time and having to like keep 353 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:32,840 putting them on a grid every time. 354 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,080 That's right. So yeah, I thought, you know 355 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,320 what, I can try and turn this into a business. 356 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,040 So yeah, it's been up for about a year and a month, a year and 357 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,240 two months now which. Goodbye. 358 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,520 I've sent over 1000 packages now so I'm pretty happy with that. 359 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,360 Wow, that's amazing. Yeah, that's awesome, man. 360 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,200 I think I was just looking through your website the other 361 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,680 day and I, I didn't find it too bad to actually find things 362 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,080 personally. I mean, you've got a search 363 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:05,600 function here and I just put in ogre or troll and it just pops 364 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,000 up every single listing you have with those keywords in it. 365 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,920 So I found that quite useful. And you've already, you've 366 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,520 already put them. You've already, you know, put 367 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:19,000 them into different categories. And with a photo and a listing 368 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,960 title there. So I don't think it's that bad 369 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,200 to find things personally. I you know, that's what I 370 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,280 thought anyway. Interesting. 371 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,840 You look like a sealed and unopened section as well, which 372 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:34,840 looks really cool. I love the yeah, Macdeth. 373 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,040 And there's another supplement here, I think for first or 374 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,520 second edition. I'm a fantasy which I thought 375 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,160 was quite cool. Yeah, yeah. 376 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,640 So I've got the Macduff on there and what's the? 377 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:48,960 The gothic floor plan I have. Done. 378 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,800 Yeah, Yeah, I had, I had Terror of the Lich Master, but that 379 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:58,320 sold straight away, which probably wanted to keep it 380 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,640 because it's gorgeous, you know, and it has all these lovely car 381 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,720 buildings that you could use in battles and things. 382 00:21:03,120 --> 00:21:06,920 But I won an auction at an auction house and it costs a lot 383 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,600 of money for those ones, so I kind of had to sell them. 384 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:12,360 But one day I'd like my own coffee. 385 00:21:12,360 --> 00:21:16,640 Definitely would be cool. Nice mate, and you've also got a 386 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,640 greater demon to zinch in an unopened blister which is 387 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,960 missing head. They had four unopened blisters, 388 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,480 all missing their heads. Dad said yeah, yeah. 389 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,760 Wow, that's interesting. Yeah, yeah, obviously someone 390 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,600 had just been had a had a rough night at the pub before or 391 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,080 something or whatever the day before and just, yeah, just 392 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,720 forgot to put the heads in. But yeah, no, it's it's a great 393 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,120 looking store. I think it's cool. 394 00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:48,320 I mean, I'm really glad to have found it and that's probably why 395 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,440 I hadn't heard of it because it hasn't been around for that 396 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,560 long. So but it's got a good level of 397 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,480 stuff in there. I found some real classic things 398 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,440 in the Empire stuff. I was looking for the Empire 399 00:22:00,120 --> 00:22:01,360 characters that I was looking for. 400 00:22:01,360 --> 00:22:04,120 Advance here request And you've got some real gems in there, 401 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:10,320 really old ones as well, like this ANDADND female thief, which 402 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:14,440 looks wonderful, and some peasants, some villager guys. 403 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,720 I really like those a lot. In fact, I think I might 404 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,080 actually have one of those in one of my bins there. 405 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:24,840 But yeah, really, really nice. Some wonderful old hammer 406 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,960 collections in there which I think people should at least 407 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:30,800 have a look at. Even some of the plastic hero 408 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,840 quest models like the Wizard and and that kind of thing. 409 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,840 And I think you've got some advance here, request models on 410 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,440 here in this collection too. So there should be something 411 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,320 there to cater for everybody for every taste and every era. 412 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,040 You said you had you've you've sold quite a lot of packages. 413 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,200 So it sounds like the business is going well then mate. 414 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:54,160 Yeah, I think so. So it went from January last 415 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,440 year selling about 10 packages maybe. 416 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:02,920 And then now some, some days I sell about 5 or 6 packages or I 417 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,720 went away for five days and sold 21 packages, which is pretty 418 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:12,560 good. It's definitely viable as a 419 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,960 business, I would say. But the big trouble is obviously 420 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:20,280 trying to get things because I don't like to, to pay people not 421 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,160 a lot of money. So but I also try to keep my 422 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,280 costs down as well. So I thought my, my, my price is 423 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,800 down. So it's kind of squeezes the 424 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:34,640 profit in the middle a little bit, but I think if you have 425 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,720 enough good stuff and you sell enough, then it kind of makes up 426 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,600 for it. We all know about the ebayers 427 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,720 who charge insane prices for, you know, for stuff. 428 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,840 And I don't really want to be like that because as a hobbyist 429 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,120 myself, I kind of like the idea of people being able to get 430 00:23:50,120 --> 00:23:54,720 things that are a price that is at least fair for everyone 431 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,840 involved. Yeah, absolutely. 432 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,920 But yeah, it's hard getting harder to find things at a 433 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,080 decent price that I can then resell without asking for a 434 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,000 crazy price, which I wouldn't do. 435 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,720 So yeah, that's the only issue. I think it's the sort of 436 00:24:11,360 --> 00:24:14,200 longitivity of kind of being able to find stuff at a good 437 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,400 price. Yes, absolutely. 438 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,720 Yeah. No, I like I said, I was really, 439 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,960 really happy with the the plastic scaben I got. 440 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,600 They were just perfect for what I needed for, for David for his 441 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,800 Commission. And then he's very, very happy 442 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,360 to get some authentic 4th and 5th edition Monopo's scaben 443 00:24:30,360 --> 00:24:32,800 models and priced very, very well. 444 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,920 I was really surprised how how how competitively priced they 445 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,400 were. So I snatched them up and now, 446 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,840 thanks to any thanks to me, Japan is now opposed to its 447 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:46,200 location for people in Japan to get them. 448 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,160 Yeah. So because I had to, I had to 449 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,120 e-mail you say, hey, mate, look, I couldn't find Japan as one of 450 00:24:51,120 --> 00:24:53,840 the areas that you post to. So that's all fixed now. 451 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,880 And of course, people can always e-mail you and contact you if 452 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,760 they needed to, if they couldn't find something or whatever, or 453 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,160 in my case, couldn't post to some somewhere. 454 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,280 And yeah, you can always contact them to arrange that. 455 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,960 So that's really cool. Now, are there any other 456 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,960 collections that you haven't posted up yet to the store that 457 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,760 you want to in the future? So I've got a big collection of 458 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:26,000 C47 Scaven coming up, like 60 models that or do you mean that 459 00:25:27,120 --> 00:25:29,600 that I'm sitting on or that I would like to expand into in the 460 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:30,320 future? Do you mean? 461 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,720 For like well go go with the Scaven. 462 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,560 I'm I'm liking the sound of that so far. 463 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,400 So it's pretty honest. Got everyone one of every model 464 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:44,920 in there, almost a few double s. But there's Nordoom and both rat 465 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:49,040 Ogres and Frot the Unclean and lots of clan rats and slaves. 466 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,040 The little chap with the poet, the copy of Nordoom sculpt with 467 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,560 a, you know, poisoned wind glove glove deer. 468 00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:01,560 And yeah, so about 60 Scaven to put up over the next few days. 469 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,520 It's really cool escaping them. I feel that's my favorite range. 470 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,080 So it's always nice to have them on the site. 471 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,120 Sometimes I buy things just because I want them on the site, 472 00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:12,960 even if I don't know if I'm going to make any money, just 473 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:18,120 because it's nice to have them. And I've got a massive 474 00:26:18,120 --> 00:26:22,720 collection of pre slaughter stuff from the 80s, four hundred 475 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,320 models that are going to go up and some cool rogue trailer 476 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,120 space screens coming up next week as well. 477 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,280 Yeah, there's loads of other stuff that I, that I kind of, I, 478 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,120 I tend to sit on the more modern stuff for a longer time because 479 00:26:38,120 --> 00:26:39,680 it doesn't interest me much myself. 480 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:45,880 But whenever I, I buy whole car loads from one person who, who's 481 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,920 been a collector for 40 years and he's kind of winding down 482 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:55,320 now that he's older and he still collects things now. 483 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,000 So when I get to see him, I get whole car loads of like new 484 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,080 stuff and old stuff, and I just take whatever he's got 485 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,080 basically. So I've got lots of new stuff to 486 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,880 put up. Yeah, that'll take a long time 487 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,400 to go up because it's a bit boring. 488 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,520 So yeah, so just escaping and lots of free slaughter and the 489 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,480 Space Marines. I think at the moment we have an 490 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:20,000 actual auction House of some nice collections of like 90s and 491 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,320 early 2000s Dogs of War and kind of Empire stuff, which I'm 492 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,000 hoping to win because that'll be cool. 493 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,720 Right. OK, so there's there's an actual 494 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,360 auction house selling this stuff. 495 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,200 Yeah, yeah. So there's quite a few in in 496 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,480 England and they, they do have online auctions. 497 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:36,960 You can go there in person as well. 498 00:27:37,360 --> 00:27:41,120 Less people know about them, but they do charge you like extra 499 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:46,120 premiums for their service. And then I got a package through 500 00:27:46,360 --> 00:27:50,600 which had like the a Goblover and like Iron Claw or Goblin War 501 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,040 Machine and things where they charged £30 for packaging. 502 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,880 Wow. They just shoved all in a bag, 503 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,240 shoved all the metal models in a bag, wrap the bag in bubble 504 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:04,200 wrap, put it in a box. A shoe box for 30 lbs which is a 505 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:04,880 very. Nice. 506 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,560 Yeah, sort of bad shipping service mate. 507 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:08,760 You should start doing that yourself. 508 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,760 I think I. Reckon I get maybe returning 509 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,200 customers just about 100 models in a bag and then you know. 510 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,720 Shoe box shipping 30 lbs. Thank you very much. 511 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,680 Yeah, I was. I was disappointed definitely. 512 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,520 Nothing broke though. Oh, that's good. 513 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,560 Yeah, that that'll be the the thing. 514 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,720 Hopefully, hopefully that 30 lbs includes insurance for when they 515 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,720 send things. So that's that's cool. 516 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,840 So you've got some nice caving coming up and you've got some, 517 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,080 the old sort of I, I've noticed on your website too, you have a 518 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:43,400 lot of those pre slaughter miniatures on there, which, you 519 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:44,720 know, I've never really looked at. 520 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,720 You know, they were given a second look at those miniatures. 521 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:53,560 But I found, I found someone online who painted, who paints 522 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,120 these in whales actually and absolutely does a beautiful job 523 00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:58,200 on them. They're incredible. 524 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,680 He makes those miniatures look $1,000,000. 525 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,640 I forget what the guy's name is now. 526 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,600 I bought the same thing for years I thought they looked like 527 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:07,800 they were just not as good quality. 528 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,760 And then I started having a gut painting some of them, and I 529 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,600 mean some of them are definitely ropey quality, but some of them 530 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,840 actually they look amazing when they're painted up and they kind 531 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,240 of they fit in really well still. 532 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,560 So all depends on the model I think, and the painter 533 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,920 obviously. Absolutely. 534 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,600 I think he's pretty well known, yeah, but I just can't recall 535 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,240 his name, sorry. I'll have to do a bit of a 536 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,760 showcase on his miniatures or get him on the podcast or 537 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:40,720 something, or do some like a video interview looking at his 538 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,000 miniatures because yeah, they're absolutely stunning. 539 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,240 I just saw someone ask about it on the whole Oldhammer Facebook 540 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:51,520 group as to like who this person was and someone noted in the 541 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,920 comment that this is his Facebook page. 542 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,120 And I was like, wow, this is just stunning. 543 00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,440 You know, like the amount of the beautiful work he does on those 544 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:04,040 miniatures is incredible. And it just made me think 545 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,600 actually, you know, those pre slaughter miniatures, they did 546 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:11,440 have a certain quality about them and charm to them. 547 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,480 That's but but it's just not my time. 548 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,320 It's not my time period, you know what I mean? 549 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:21,120 Apart from you know, Heroes for War games I think had a lot of 550 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:25,880 those pre slaughter miniatures. And some of them crossed over to 551 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,760 the slot today. They re changed the base, didn't 552 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:28,680 they? And they actually turned them 553 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,360 into slotter versions for some, yeah. 554 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,440 It all depends on the range I think when it comes to that. 555 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,120 But they're definitely cheaper as well. 556 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,120 So that always helps for collecting I think. 557 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,760 Yeah, the the price of about, well, in yen about ¥700. 558 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:48,240 So that's about what's that about 4 lbs, maybe 3 lbs. 559 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:49,880 Yeah, something like that. Yeah, 3 to 4 lbs. 560 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,640 Normally a lot of them go for I think apart from the rare ones, 561 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:57,360 and then they give quite a bit. Yeah, and and you also sell 562 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:03,080 books and I I notice you have the walks EB go hardback book 563 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:11,400 that's going for a pretty penny. And yeah. 564 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:17,280 I got my own pocket from a car boot, so when I was a kid that's 565 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,680 knackered, but you know, I loved reading it very much. 566 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,280 You've got some white dwarf magazines to price really well. 567 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,160 I mean, I don't know why I didn't order these before, 568 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:28,320 actually. I might actually have a look at 569 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:29,840 getting some of these myself made. 570 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,040 Actually. There's some classic issues in 571 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,800 here that I don't have, and I'm sort of collecting those 90s 572 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,760 white dwarfs now, so I might have to go through there and 573 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,320 have a peek through and grab a few issues for myself at some 574 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,640 point. But that's really nice to see, 575 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,400 yeah. Yeah, they're on my double s 576 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:48,840 because I collect them as well. So. 577 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,040 But whenever you buy a big lot, you're in loads you know that 578 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,520 you've already got. Yes, if you if you can buy them 579 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,280 a bulk and that's something I just don't have the luxury of 580 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,400 doing here in Japan. It's just impossible unless, 581 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,480 well, I, I found one particular individual, a really good guy, 582 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:06,760 where we did a swap on trading on for painting and I collected 583 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,320 a lot of old white dwarves in pristine condition actually. 584 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,560 But now it's just, yeah, getting those next probably, I don't 585 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:19,280 know, from 1:50 to about 200, probably those fifty issues. 586 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,880 And I'm pretty happy with that.
