That b roll of finding the paints in increasingly absurd places is hilarious. I love it.

[michaelitskov]

Your marines are sometimes mistaken for the Night Lords, sometimes for the Sons of Horus. Alpharius is proud of their mimicry abilities

[angelx]

Ok, that defiler is much nicer than baseline tbh

[origulator]

Wow, what a nice Emperor's Children paintjob!
Nah but i kid, great job man.

[DarkDuncan]

Loved the vid! Would love to hear Murray's and Jen's origin stories as well!!!

[guts]

That defiler is the pinnacle of chaos engineering

[noahkruies]

That defiler is honestly one of the best models I've ever seen. It's so sad seeing that kit just be so old an sad, but that brings out such an old love.

Alpharius looks amazing as an Emperors Children! 🐍

But in all seriousness this paint scheme is stunning 🔥

[AceFrahm]

The best part was seeing the "little kid paint job" on the first mini, it was like showing us your baby photos, no matter how embarrassing they might be. And the rapid step-by-step explanation of the final paint job is terrific! I want to see that in just about every video from now on.

Really enjoyed watching the repainting of a model and hearing how your Alpha Legion came to be. Also, love the bit with the paints hidden in obscure places!! but hearing your story of life and the hobby was genuinely enjoyable. Thanks for sharing. I'd love this kinda style video from other members. Love you guys

Seeing journeys like yours and the evolution of your hobby time really helps with knowing Im doing alright going into my second year in the hobby. Fortunately I started this hobby with the best the mini hobby has been in terms of models and painting as technology really has expanded its accessibility. I cant imagine where my modeling and painting will be after a decade or 2 like so many I follow have already experienced. It gets me excited and motivated to push myself and enjoy the ride

[Frozenkoldfury]

Dave, the fact you haven't shown that beautiful, awesome defiler before is criminal! Build another one, show us how!

[TotemStorms]

It is always reassuring hearing from the professionals that looking back on your crafting journey and thinking "why did I do that (for so long/ that way/ at all)?" is normal. Seeing the progression is great, and the work in progress on the model during the video made for an interesting change of pace along the way.
And based off Dave reading through the list of paints that he used, I think that the next Bob Ross video (probably on Jazza's channel, but Tabletop Time could join in as well) should be painting a mini/ diorama in the style of Bob Ross.

I mean...to be fair, having your Alpha legion marines being miscategorized as other chapters, is the most alpha legion thing ever.

If you lack "OLD" Nuln oil, I strongly recommend Pro Acryl Black Wash - it's virtually and for all intents and purposes 1:1 with pre update Nuln oil.

[JakkoThePumpkin]

My 2024 army project is Dark Mech & it never occurred to me to use the dunecrawler top on the defiler legs... I may make a couple of these myself, thankyou for the idea 🙏🙏

[JohnCharlesBetts]

That was fun - especially the frozen pot. My own Space Marines have a history of evolution, they just became Blackshields, and the idea of hanging on to the older ones appeals to me. The current colours you chose for the Alpha Legion are superb, but seeing the progression was fun.

[Zeldur]

Grabbing a bottle of streak n grim out of Jazza's armpit without him batting an eye was much more funny than I thought it could be. Loved the b roll. Might be too much if this is done in every video, but every now and then would be really funny to see

[Derek-mmnf]

I always enjoy these more personal takes. I could watch any mini painting youtuber for tips but this kind of video always means that bit more. YouTube helps me feel part of a community but never more than when watching someone get excited about their own personal projects and not just painting for a sponsor

[bitzbox]

Love hearing about your journey in the hobby. That Defiler is so cool!!
