Miniature Painting is Healthy! It can be a valuable tool for emotional maintenance. Creative, calming, and restorative. It's a great way to disconnect from the horrors of the internet for a little while and build that attention span back up. Join me for this meditation as I paint some lady custodes models for Warhammer 40k :-)

Lots of studios are making good head sculpts, in this video I used 8 different 3D printed heads from a Kickstarter by Keta-Minies. Prints were at 120% scale to match the superhuman statue of the custodes models.

    You know, this video convinced me that white with gold trim looks really good for the Custodes.

    You're a good dude. Thanks for being the Bob Ross we need.
  • @JohnnyTightIips
    Waking up and seeing the minis you painted overnight in the daylight is such a treat. Love that you mentioned that.
    "Predictable and miserable and buffoonish" is the perfect summing up of the gamer rage too.

    My wife and I both appreciate your positivity. In her words, you're 'a good egg'.

    Using nail clippers to make the curved cuts for your basing material??? Genius!
  • @Caniswalensis
    Thank you for always being so wholesome, positive and sensible.

    corporate greed IS a blight, so keep on preaching the word of art as a form of meditation !
  • @DD-vn2ev
    Hell's yes, I just have to remind myself that these are for me and don't care if they're not perfect.

    You, your kind and calming attitude and your general love and enthusiam of miniature painting is what got me into this hobby last summer. Now after a couple of months of assembling minis I'm finally starting to paint the first minis and I always keep coming back to your videos. Not only miniature painting has mental health benefits, watching your videos does too! Thank you so much. I absolutely love my new hobby :)

    Thank you Brent. You are always a positive light in an all too often dark and cynical world. And your videos always make my wife and I smile. So, once again, thank you. Keep well. 🖖

    The last days, I was really annoyed and depressed by Youtube, because every video title told me that I suck and wanted to explain why. Watching this video gave me some boost of positive energy. Thank you for that.

    I didn't watch enough of your content, Brent, but every time I do I remember how glad I am that people like you do exist in the world.

    I’m just about to watch the video but the title of the video caught my attention straight away and just want to say I started painting to get out of my own head, I don’t play any of the war games or D&D, I just love to paint minis for the peace
