Episode 01

I Accidentally Spent $2,368 on Warhammer Before Learning to Paint

Where every hobby actually starts: an enormous pile of grey plastic, a receipt you'd rather not look at, and absolutely no idea what you're doing. So we start at the beginning — properly.

The run

From grey plastic to the Golden Demon.

No shortcuts, no pretending. Every mistake stays in the video — because that's the part nobody films, and it's the part that actually teaches you something.

01

The pile of shame

Buy far too much, open it all, and confront what you've done. Priming, tools, and the hard truth about brush prices.

02

Learning to see

Base, shade, highlight. Wet blending, edge work, and the first time something looks genuinely good under the light.

03

Competition standard

Freehand, NMM, display bases. Entering a Golden Demon — win or lose, on camera.

About

Learning in public.

Most painting channels show you a finished masterpiece and skip the four hours where it went wrong. This one does the opposite.

Every episode is a real attempt at getting better — the technique that failed, the paint that dried in the well, the mould line spotted three coats too late. If you're starting out, you'll see your own mistakes made first, out loud, so you don't have to make them alone.

If you're already good, you'll enjoy watching someone learn the hard way.

"Far too much confidence and not nearly enough skill."
