Another great video, thanks. I especially enjoyed the later diorama part. I'm amazed at how much detail and atmosphere you can fit in such a small space. I would like you to know that I have been watching KZread videos for at least a decade and this video is the first ever that enticed me to actually buy the product shown on your ‘sponsors’ slot. The ‘advert’ was very amusing and I thought my brother - we were both born in Scotland - would love to boast about the fact he is indeed a Laird, or a Lord. So I went ahead and bought him the title for Christmas. My only regret being, after he puts the framed proclamation on his wall, is the fact that his lovely wife will have to put up with him boasting about it to friends when they stay over. Thanks again for another - not just informative video - but a very entertaining one to boot 5⭐'s Oh and just to add, I saved $5 with your discount code and after confirmation of the sale, Established Titles asked where I heard about them, I clicked on KZread and entered your channel name

Dear Alex, I find it ironic that I finally clicked through to support your Patreon on a "paint space marine for money" video while I haven't painted a space marine in over 10 years and I don't plan to soon. I mostly paint Infinity models and various board game pieces for D&D. Yet I am now, very proudly, a Sneaky Musical Floating Dead Kangaroo. To be honest I had chosen to contribute more than views to your channel some time ago, but I had not yet acted on that choice. It was a "when" not an "if." But your thoughtful discussion on the reading of zealous violent doctrine taking so central a role in "heroic" lore hit me (yet again) in a way that KZread videos seldom do. And it was time I pay in. This was not the first video of yours that ushered me into a state beyond entertained or informed. I was contemplative; inhabiting that often ephemeral space of simultaneous peacefulness and disquiet that perhaps produces the most moving ponderings. The nature of your work often invites me there. So please, do carry on doing what you are doing. I really dig the whole painting and crafting thing, regardless of discussions on the place of gaming lore in our psyche or society. Also please let us know if you are ever invited to read for an audiobook. I will patiently await your next video, and I eagerly await the next time I manage to join you (and other viewers) during a live painting session here on KZread. All my best, Steve

I totally appreciate your comments of the cleansing. I my self got into Warhammer with the Rouge Trader book. I was amazed that there was a system of gaming that was everything I was into, minis, terrain and a whole gaming system. Then I started reading the lore., had to look past it to keep playing because I loved the idea of the game but not sure I could go with the underlying concepts.

Glad you did this my friend. I love your "what if" series.

So the wolf knocked on the armored door and said: "Little pigs! Little pigs! Let me in! Let me in!" But the little green pigs saw the wolf's narrow eyes through the survilance cameras, so they answered back: "No! No! No! Not by the hairs on our chinny chin chin!" So the wolf showed his teeth, raised his meltagun, and said: "Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your bunker down!"

Super interesting technique, I don’t think I’ve seen it anywhere before and I watch a fair bit about mini painting

Must be the most lethal and dangerous pig mutant. So dangerous the Imperium needs to deploy Astartes to take it out.

in case anyone is wondering, the mega xenophobia shown by humanity in 40K wasn't really the Emperor's idea. From 30k to 40k a lot changed and the ecclesiarchy, inquisition, and high lords or terra all compete for power and they all enjoy fear as a tool. For example, the noble beastmen were seen as regular abhumans, like ratlings and similar, but then the ecclesiarchy and inquisition decided that they are now mutants and should be killed. It would be interesting to see what Big E thought about the situation in 40k seeing how far it has gotten from his original idea.

I'm glad you found a way to use PIG-ment powder.

The 40k background is like a teenage first attempt at edgy satire, complete with homages to better fiction that border on plagiarism. It's very surprising to me that the rough edges weren't sanded away over the years by the corporate machine as it became such a successful franchise. But I guess in a lot of cases they paper over the genocide and xenophobia in the fiction, as most of it is focused on fighting Chaos, which paints the imperium in a much more favourable light when contrasted to actual demons.

I was honestly wondering to myself the other day, what videos have I been missing and then this shows up and I couldn't be happier. Always excited to see your videos Alex because they feel like both inspiration and a fun documentary at the same time. I will always enjoy your approach to these videos :) I can't wait to see the next one

Appreciate your thought about the depiction of violence and genocide in these games, as a grown man I have done a lot of reflection about the gruesome war video games like Call of Duty played as a kid, something quite disturbing and not good about the whole thing IMO. Fantasy and Sci Fi things feel better since they are more removed but still worth thinking about and not getting in a habid of romanticizing war. Combat is a good short hand to present conflict, drama and competition in games of all kind, but I think it would do us good if it wasnt always the standard. I wonder what a miniature wargame/skirmisch game would look like if it was about something completly different? A game where you move around minis and use abilities to grow a garden, cook food or clean the enviorment, haha I would try something like that.

Very nice idea/concept!!!
