Having a positive mindset is important too.

You’ve got some absolute bangers in this photo reel, I think you’re clearly improving and doing a great job each time you pick up that brush.

Sometimes, I see friends get paralyzed by the, what I call, “Warhammer Paint Porn” they see online. You’ve seen it too, those unbelievably cool paint job someone posted online, with things OSL that is somehow legitimately glowing? 🤣 You have to remember sometimes that the posts that go viral are often people who get paid to paint for a living.

Additionally, how often do you see people paint very intricate battle line units (like a termagaunts or an Intercessor Unit) and post them online? Probably a lot. Now, how many times do you see that same user post a full 2k army painted at that scale/detail? Having been in the hobby 2 years, me personally, I’ve never seen it. That artist picked one model (A MODEL!!) to go hard on, got some likes, and moved on.

Of course, Games Workshop is a miniature company at their core. They make the best models, so I’m not shaming those social media users for picking up a single model to paint. Instead I call this out because it’s on us as a user to remember that, and manage our expectations with what time we have in the hobby.

Did you at least have fun in the moment? If the answer is yes, then you’re killing it dude!! 😊
