Ah, good stuff! I'll be keeping a beady eye on this series... And it's FREE!
Cheers Chris & AGProductions!
EDIT: These tutorials are very in-depth! At first I thought "Nah, what else is there to know about assembling a Termagaunt?" I mean, I've never done so before, but still; I learnt something new - Termagaunts and Hormagaunts actually look different? I knew that Termies had more spines, although... Where's the WD gone!

I was very impressed. I have a bucket full on unassembled tyranids and this made me want to get them out and work on them.

Balance in pick up games? Two people, each with their own goals for the game, design half a board game on their own without knowing the layout of the board and hope it all works out. Good luck with that. The faster you can find like minded individuals who want the same things from the game as you, the better. |

Really cool stuff -- there are some superb tips in there. Can't wait for the rest of the series. 
My one note of caution is that I was wincing whenever Chris used the craft knife to cut towards his thumb, and stopped the cut with the ball of his thumb! Does he have extra-tough thumbs, or a very blunt knife... or does he just get cut a lot?

Actually I do it that way because that's how I learned to whittle wood when I was a kid. I occasionally get cut, but it's very, very rare as the pressure I'm using to move the knife comes only my index finger, so it's very slight.

Oh, yeah, I could see there wasn't much pressure -- it just goes against all the rules of knife use I've ever been taught, in whittling, woodcarving, bowmaking, etc.! So I was a bit surprised you weren't deliberately emphasising safe knife use (especially given the USA's litigious society -- but, you know, even without that, it's not that hard to always be cutting away from yourself rather than towards it).

I kind of do it that way too, and have been for years.
Just dont use a super fresh knife.
Doesnt require tough thumbs at all, The blade is really good at slicing, but not chopping.
Of course you could, potentially slice yourself..

If you don't cut yourself at least once putting a model together you aren't doing it right. 
|
--The whole concept of government granted and government regulated 'permits' and the accompanying government mandate for government approved firearms 'training' prior to being blessed by government with the privilege to carry arms in a government approved and regulated manner, flies directly in the face of the fundamental right to keep and bear arms.
“The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government.”

Too true. My stitches came out two days ago from such an incident...

Now that was something different - Good show Sir!
P.S. I'd advise you to also update your original post as you go along. Yes, that does means that people could be lazy and not read through the thread, but... It's up to you!

In the third video, there was a little too much time when the camera showed nothing while you talked about doing something or did something just outside of what the camera shows.
Another tip for keeping sand/ballast on a base is to apply it before the miniature is primed. The primer then seals the sand onto the base. Also, tacky glue or a painting medium will stick the sand onto the base far more effectively than using white glue.

The suspense!
Seriously, though, drybrushing never fails to amaze me. This is awesome so far - Keep 'em coming!

Probably the best demonstration of drybrushing as an overall highlighting method I have ever seen. It's the method I've used to paint large groups of miniatures quickly but I've never been able to explain or even show it to my friends in a way that let them replicate it.
I think your video will be far more effective than I was at communicating this technique.
Fabulous!

I was talking with a friend to whom I emailed the links to your videos. You convinced him to go bright! Instead of olive drab, he's going with orange. I think it'll improve the overall quality of the visual experience.
Another reason why brighter is better is that exaggerating the contrast between the recesses and the raised parts of a miniature can fool our brains into perceiving it in it's scale. Dark miniatures with even darker recesses and not a huge difference between the brightest and darkest parts end up looking indistinct and blobby. The ironic thing is that our brains will perceive the more unrealistic brighter paint scheme as more realistic because the contrast is so easily apparent. A model lacking the contrast ends up looking fake and out of "real scale" to our eyes.

Transcribing a video is a lot of work. It'd probably be better for you to fix your computer.
