BennoIsAGeek Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Hey everyone, I hope this is allowed.. I'm new here (although i've been lurking for a couple of weeks or so) and new to war gaming in general. The site was a really useful resource when I was doing some research. I decided to start off my own Youtube channel to document my journey into the Warhammer 40k universe and hopefully down the line it will help other people trying to get in to the game. I've chosen Space Wolves as my army so hopefully it will be of interest to some of you and it would be awesome if my brothers from Fenris gave the channel some support. The video is far from amazing, but it's the first time i've ever done anything like this. I'm hoping if I get some views then i'll improve as I get some practice and eventually I can have lots of battle reports, painting videos, and tactics. I'll put a link below and as I say, any support, comments, likes etc. would be really appreciated. Thanks :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/277176-space-wolf-channel-new-to-war-gaming/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfebane Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 For starters, welcome to the Fang! Interesting idea with the youtube. While I commend you for doing it (more balls than I've got), I'll make some comments in hopes to make it better. While I know it's your first episode, some of this probably goes without saying. A little bit more energy will go a long way to keeping interest. Some of it can be attributed to reading off a script. Also, no offense, but for a gaming vlog, it'd be more interesting to look at elements of the game rather than your face (again, first episode, so I'll assume this will improve.) In the future, I would invest in some better lighting and camera angle. All minor stuff, so take it as you will. Regardless, great job!

BennoIsAGeek Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 Thanks for watching and appreciate the feedback. Totally agree with pretty much everything you've said. Hopefully next time i'll have some models finished, if not the whole unit so i'm sure i'll be showing those off at the very least. I think I was a little bit unsure what I was doing and was leaning on the script a bit but hopefully as I get more comfortable and gain more knowledge the delivery will improve.

BennoIsAGeek Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 I found out today about some small points games that are being played at my local store. They started at 400ish I think and they are now playing 600 (and will continue to build from there by 200 points every few weeks) which sound perfect for a noob to get stuck in to. So I think i'm going to throw myself in at the deep end which should make for more interesting videos in the next couple of weeks. The guys were cool and said as long as i've got stuff built and primed I can use it, even though i'm sure i'll be obsessive and get stuff done pretty quick... Now I just need to come up with a 600pt force and some tactics.

BennoIsAGeek Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 Hmmm, well I was considering something similar.. I started a thread in the list building sub forum because I didn't want to get in trouble :) http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/277210-600pt-noob-all-comers-army/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/277176-space-wolf-channel-new-to-war-gaming/#findComment-3399245 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forté Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Welcome and good luck with YouTube. A lot of competition on there. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/277176-space-wolf-channel-new-to-war-gaming/#findComment-3399748 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BennoIsAGeek Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 Thanks. That's cool, to be honest the channel is really there to help me learn and maybe help a couple of people down the line rather than me trying to be a massive channel (granted being a success would make that easier as i'd get more comments and people are more likely to see it).

postal105 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Welcome to the fang and i wish you luck in your vblog. Now i personely think the snow basing on spaces wolves is over done. every one and ther brother who playes space wolves does them on snow bases. i would recomend switching it up a littel mabey have muddy patches and others have grass parts as nothing but snow flock on the bases is boring that is my sugestion you can take it or leave it . Other then that i have found that for drybrushing you just have to work at it to get it just right it takes some tiem just doing it other then tha tthe paint looked good from what i could see of it.
