There are a lot of people like me, long-time or newer fans of WARHAMMER that will probably never get to go to an event like this for a million different reasons.

I don't plan very well, and usually these things need planning! I guess you'd need an audio book or mobile video games if you are planning in standing in 2-4 hour lines!

I saw James Workshop at a Warhammer store in London yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn't want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, "Oh, like you're doing now?" I was taken aback, and all I could say was "Huh?" but he kept cutting me off and going "Huh? Huh? Huh?" and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Space Marine Heroes blindboxes in his hands without paying. The neckbeard at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like, "Sir, you need to pay for those first." At first, he kept pretending to be tired and not hear him, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When the neckbeard took one of the blindboxes and started scanning it multiple times, James Workshop stopped him and told him to scan them each individually 'to prevent any electrical infetterence,' and then turned around and winked at me. I don't even think that’s a word. After he scanned each blindbox and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting by yawning really loudly.

Honestly, I consider both you and Guy from midwinter to be on about the same level, both extremely awesome, and very skilled. The only real difference I see in you both, is that while you're a very positive person, you present the painting from a technical level (which I really appreciate), whereas Guy whilst still a bit technical, comes from the direction of having fun, and doing it kind of however. And example would be between your wonderfully technical Drukhari Archon (showing us how to paint it like the GW images), vs Guy's how pink can we make these Drukhari video. Both awesome, and really helpful, just a difference in style. Honestly I really love your "This is how you do it right" videos.
