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!

Planning is something that we have spoken about many times on the podcast before, but with our personal army projects looming, we wanted to discuss our own approaches to preparation... In this episode, we discuss the balance of painting models you enjoy Vs what you want to field on the table, and our own strategies for conceptualising an army from its infancy, from colour schemes to test models!

Also in this episode: We answer our listeners comments about our wet palette tricks, debate the perfect water cup, and make an exciting announcement! Plus we answer our question of the week and share our parting hobby hacks!
