yeah,
No main page where all their customers can come together and show off their miniatures and ideas. :sadface:
Just smaller groups that can be easily controlled, managed and culled... nice little local sheeple - that's weak sauce.
However to be positive the Video tutorial team, make great videos and are great and a step in the right direction.
This one really helped me get on with my ROBB.
All six boards at the same time - completeing one colour before moving on to another.
Using appropriate brushes as required - be neat when you need to be neat.
Although I took more advice from the FW WarHammerDayFestDay tutorial of doing as much as possible with sponges!
Sponges are a game changer when your painting terrain!
Panic...

Do their tutorials really even matter? I guess the GW painting style isn't a bad place to start if you're a newbie and want a very simple approach to painting, but it's not like GW's official tutorials are the only place to get that kind of information.
Good tutorials are good tutorials regardless of level of expertise, you can find great ideas and solutions at any level... the day you consider yourself too good to learn is the day you stop learning. You can counter that argument with being selective and all that but take this from someone who actually trained people of all backgrounds at professional level... you learn from everyone if you pay attention. GW tutorials matter regardless if you think they are bellow your level of expertise.
The usual sniping aside, wouldn't mind yer man Duncan demonstrating some more advanced painting techniques. The painting vids they put up are well handy for beginer and more experienced alike - would love to see them build on that and hit some next level stuff

I actually wrote in something similar, my suggestions were things like advanced faces and scenic bases.

The problem with the 'vote with your dollar' response is that it doesn't take into account why we're not buying the product. I want to enjoy 40k enough to buy back in. It was my introduction to traditional games, and there was a time when I enjoyed it very much. I want to buy 40k, but Gamesworkshop is doing their very best to push me away, and simply not buying their product won't tell them that.

tidy. Some vids going towards what's in the FW masterclass books would be sweet. Doenst have to be as high level as the FW stuff but defintely someting more than layering and washes would make for some really good tutorials
I'd love to see vehicle weathering but I don't think GW really make the paints for streaking effects and they might want to stay away from the FW weathering powders too.

Yeah, you can't really do vehicle weathering without acknowledging that oil paints exist, and that means planting the seed of the idea that you can buy hobby products that don't come from GW. So it will never happen.
There is no such thing as a hobby without politics. "Leave politics at the door" is itself a political statement, an endorsement of the status quo and an attempt to silence dissenting voices.

I suggested an old 2nd Edition model like Mephiston, Ragnar or that goddamn-elusive-as-hell original Bloodthirster.

I doubt they will do the original Bloodthirster. They don't sell him anymore so why would they?

They did some weathering in the Ghostkeel suit video using some sponge and a small amount of Dryad Bark paint and just dabbing it lightly over a few areas on the model.

Glad to see Emma doing well -- she's a good painter indeed, her harlequin stuff especially is very nice.
best of luck to her/them.
Who's Emma btw? Not seen her before.
I know she used to stream her painting on Twitch; a pretty damn popular stream too - pretty active now on Twitter and Insta. Excellent painter, v skilled and came across well personality wise on her stream, GW are lucky to have nabbed her - let's hope they make the most of it; it'll be nice to have another presenter for the tutorials instead of the same guy over and over.
I look forward to them.
Best of luck to them

Honestly I don't think that they are going to listen.
They might see what are the common interests and then paint a new model from that range but if every 40k player asked for a Sisters of Battle tutorial I doubt they would provide.

Because quite frankly, as soon as Kid_Kyoto started in with his usual garbage it was DOA.
Whoa, are you for real? Kyoto Sensei is consistently entertaining. You... are not. That is all.
Opinions vary on that. To each their own.
