This week we are joined by none other than Arbitor Ian! While you may be familiar with his expert lore videos on YouTube, we wanted to dive deeper into his takes on the hobby and painting… Expect to learn how Ian stays motivated to complete army projects as someone who does not enjoy painting, how lore knowledge can benefit the look of your models, overcoming painting failures, balancing your time with the hobby, and methods to enjoy your painting as much as possible!

Also stay tuned for our question of the week all about motivation, and where we find it in the hobby. As well as our closing hobby hack, where our guest drops a bombshell trick for assembling resin and metal miniatures!

This week we discuss one of the biggest brands in miniature painting… Vallejo. But as seasoned painters what do we REALLY think of the brand and their products? In this episode, we discuss our experiences with Vallejo, their paint ranges and products and perhaps bust a few myths about them. Expect to learn what we look for in a quality paint, some things to know and avoid, and whether or not they deserve a spot in your painting arsenal (beginner or pro).

Also in this episode, we discuss the rise of spudchop, free warhammer and the infamous barrel-gate! Also expect to hear some of our listeners comments, question of the week and of course our parting hobby hacks!

The fundamentals of painting are important, but they can be boring. Though, important as they are, is it possible you can surpass them a little too soon?

In this thought provoking episode, we discuss the merit of painting neatly vs detailed and if doing less, (well) can actually get you better results…

Also in this episode, we discuss the relatable topic of painting fear, and how to overcome the thoughts that you might ‘ruin’ your models.

Plus, stay tuned for our hobby hacks and the usual banter you expect, including some nonsense about painting with potatoes, and the aftermath of our premier Paint Perspective Drill Off!
