Subject: Miniature painting stream on Twitch - Celestant-Prime!
|

Hey guys! A quick thread to shill a project I've embarked on.
I recently started streaming miniature painting sessions on Twitch.tv. I can be found at http://www.twitch.tv/theycallhimben and I tweet when I'm about to stream at @BenCounter.
We've got a small but enthusiastic community around the stream and I'd love to make miniature painting a thing on Twitch. The next thing on the bench is the Freebooter 'Female Archaeologist' (cough Lara Croft cough), as I paint some single figures while waiting for my airbrush hose to be delivered so I can get onto some Infinity miniatures.
Tnks all,
Theycallhimben

Well, the stream has ended.
And I've got to say... it was way more fun than expected! Being able to ask questions and interact with Ben, who was just a great guy all around, was a good time.
Watching paint dry was never so exciting, give it a shot!

Aww tnks for the feedback dude, it went really well. The Sicarians are sweet.
The next stream will probably be at the same time on Wednesday, I'll be hoping to get the squad finished.
If anyone has any suggestions for what they'd like to see painted, I'm happy to hear them. Looks like the new hotness is a pretty good bet heh heh.

Excellent show. I had a ton of fun watching.
I'd like to see, eventually, some sculpting or more difficult converting. I don't know if that's your cup of tea but there you go.

Guess doing a Donkeytank (Onager Dunecrawler) might attract some more people. I'd definately watch it

Going on stream again at 8! http://www.twitch.tv/theycallhimben
The new Sicarians are still on the desk, hoping to finish them tonight.
Love the donkeytank, may well end up buying one if I make the Skitarii a bigger project. As for sculpting, sadly I can't sculpt, but there are a bunch of sculptors on Twitch mostly working in larger scales.

Right, feedback.
I've watched the stream for the first time today. Ben is a cool guy. It was a pleasure to listen to him talk and watch him paint as I played some hearthstone to relax. The people in chat help too, together with Ben we had a nice talk about the painting, the models, the Hobby.
Ben also explains some techniques that he's using or will be using, really, it's all quite interactive.
Quite interesting, didn't think I'd enjoy this much.
And for those here that may remember my dillema: Decided to give it a try and paint the Ranger's rifle as if some bits are made of wood. It now looks like a pimped up M1 Garand. I love it

just wanted to say that i've enjoyed your novels for years, Ben...
BL needs to get you to write another soon  ...
one day i will have to give your painting stream a look in, but it's a bit early for me, since i spend my days at the beach, and my nights at the painting table...
this surfer lifestyle is hard work  ...
have fun!!!
cheers

Interesting how a lot of the feedback is how the stream is 'better than expected'. Low expectations FTW heh heh.
Many thanks to anyone who popped into the stream. Hopefully I can get some pictures of the Sicarians up soon.
Next up is Kasim Beg, the Haqqislam biker dude from Infinity. I've done some airbrush work on him and I'm planning to do the brushwork on stream.

Well yeah, it'd be pretty boring to watch most people paint. The conversations we have make it fun, you're fun to talk to. The incredibly precise and effortless brushwork helps too.

Well, for someone with no posts popping in here saying he has a twitch stream makes for low expectations...  But it was nice, will pop in another time when I have the time.

Exactly. If a "big name" in DakkaDakka said it, expectations would be though the roof, but since you weren't... hey, I know, don't judge a book by it's cover but c'mon!
@Bocete: Soon, I hope

We really need him to get a good base coating brush though. That forking piece of split bristles makes me cringe just by watching it  And yet, he still manages a better basecoat than i do with a new W/N 7

Yarr, should be able to stream Sunday - heading to the nerd shop tomorrow so aiming for the Mechanicus tank or a GW character model.
Also pics for the Assassins game are floating around, damn I can already tell I'm going to snap buy it when it comes out. I'm such a sucker...

Something different for this session. I'm painting a miniature I picked up at Salute on stream at 8 UK time: it's an awesome post-apocalyptic gangsta girl from Armoured Syndicate.
