More Cleaning Vlog

The Gaming Table is Clear

Look at this! Would you look at this? Look at my nice clean gaming table—it’s finally clear again. Now I can use this as a staging area for sorting everything else.

It still looks terrible, but I didn’t just dump stuff. A lot is either gone or put away where it should go.

Still Riding the Trench Crusade High

Still riding that Trench Crusade high from last night. Really miss those days of rolling dice all night with the big group found-family kind of style. Don’t get to do that as much as I used to.

I’ve only played Trench Crusade twice now and it’s been so much fun both times. I want to finish up a couple more figures for my Trench Pilgrims, but I’m already eyeing the next group for the January campaign. Time to project hop as always.

December 7th Deadline

Next order of business is my first 50 points of Dusk for December 7th. Got everything built but need to figure out bases.

The only one I’m going to have painted by then is my character—we’re doing a painting competition. I’m going to put all my time into her. She’ll be my first one trying to get good at really going all out on a miniature.

Setting Up the Space

Now that I have this area organized, I’m going to move stuff around for better camera setup—not just my phone I’m walking in circles rambling about.

I want to try one night a week as solo RPG night. Not sure if I’ll do live actual play or take what happens and make a narrative story out of it.

The Simple Base Decision

With the tactical rock on the 30mm base, there isn’t a ton I can do. I kind of like the simplicity, so I might just add some base texture and glue her directly to the base. Lessons learned with the goblins.

The Power of Organization

I knew exactly where my glue was. I knew exactly where my basing material was. I knew exactly where my X-Acto knife and magnets were.

I was able to clean the base, magnetize the bottom of it in like 30 seconds. Way faster just because I knew where all my stuff was. Put it all away again, back in the toolbox.

It really does make a huge difference being organized. That’s the lesson for today.

See you tomorrow where I’m actually going to paint!

Transcript

Look at this. Would you look at this? Look at my nice clean gaming table. It is finally clear again. So now I’m going to use this to start sorting anything that’s still left and like a staging area.

So now I’ll be able to actually like clean up clean up the bookshelf uh clean up these other shelves over here. This is a very productive day that uh is probably going to be very boring video. still have uh and and all that a lot of this stuff is sorted. Like it’s so it looks terrible still, but I didn’t just like dump stuff off of there. A lot of that stuff is either gone or put away where it should go.

Still really riding that trench crusade high. Let me change my my background. Still riding that trench crusade high from last night. Uh just really kind of miss those days of of rolling dice all night and and kind of like the the big group found family kind of style of thing. Just really cool.

Don’t get to do that as much as uh used to do. And now I’m just I’ve only played Trench Crusade twice now and it has been so much fun both times I’ve played it. Uh, I want to finish up there’s a couple more figures I want to finish up painting for my trench pilgrims, but I’m already kind of eyeing the next uh group that I want for the next campaign, which I think will probably be starting in January. So, time to project hop as always. No, today actually turned into a pretty a pretty crazy workday.

Uh, but what’s the next order is my my first 50 points of dusk for December 7th. So, I got everything built, but I need to get it assembled. And I have the the Fantasm is also built and ready to go, but I don’t have it in here yet. But, uh, so I got to figure out how I’m going to base the what I’m going to do for bases so I can get these guys based. And really, the only one of these that I’m going to have painted by December 7th is my character because we’re doing a little painting competition for a character.

So, I’m going to pretty much put all of my time into her. uh and do she’ll be like my first one of trying to get good at this process of really trying to go all out on a miniature. It’s either gonna be her or or maybe her. Haven’t decided actually now that I say that. But that’s going to be the next bit of painting um trench going forward is now that I have this area right.

Uh I have this area going to keep cleaning. Going to move stuff around so I can get like better camera that’s not just my phone that I’m running walking in circles rambling about. So, going to set up like I want to try to do like one night a week be like solo RPG night. And I I don’t I don’t know if I’m going to do like a like a live like a real play or I’m going to take what happens during me playing and make like a narrative like a story kind of like a cool cool little story night. >> I was thinking with the tactical rock on the 30 mm base, there really isn’t a ton I could do.

I mean, I could I guess I could do a ton and I could add more tactical rocks, but I kind of like the simplicity of this base. So, I think I actually might just for her add add some of the base texture. I’m going to glue her directly to the base because my lessons have been learned with the goblins. And that just might be what the hobby part is today cuz I just spent so many hours on the table. So, I think a lot of you probably are already aware of it, but um I knew exactly where my glue was.

I knew exactly where my basing material was, and I knew exactly where my X-Acto knife and magnets were. So, I was able to baser clean the base up, magnetize the bottom of it in like 30 seconds, which uh is pretty crazy. Way faster just cuz I knew where all my stuff was, put it all away again, back in the toolbox. So, it really does just make a huge difference being organized. So, that’s the that’s the lesson for today.

Thanks for watching. See you tomorrow where I’m actually going to paint
