Having chats with folk over miniature wargaming, the tabletop hobby and stuff.

Some Dude On YouTube

Oh noes! I just remembered (was reminded by a calendar alarm from past me) that next Tuesday will be my 7th year anniversary of streaming stuff on twitch in regards to tiny fighting men.

I should plan something. Shouldn't I? XD

I'm afraid there is no stream tonight. I'm coughing like some chain smoker on his last leg since Saturday. Especially when I talk. So I'll remain silent tonight. Sorry everyone.

I know it's short notice but I'm not feeling it today and I'm skipping streaming today. :) See you lot next week.

Since I'm in full swing with playing 40k 3rd edition I feel it is time to put some paint on the minis.

For most armies I'll go with "fuck what's out there, I'll do what I like" but somehow that rubs me the wrong way when it comes to Space Marines as an army.

The initial plan was: paint each unit in the colour scheme they came with in the box.

3rd Edition Box Set - Black Templars
Battle for Macragge - Ultramarines
Indomitus - Ultramarines

I can live with Black Templars since I feel 10 Space Marines and a Landspeeder in black and white should look cool. But two boxes of space smurfs?


The boys from the BfM set could be anything. But have I seen Primaris being painted anything else than baby blue?

But the rest? I don't know. Rainbow Warriors is too much work. Is there any weird but simple colour scheme that comes to mind? Preferably one that is from 3rd edition or before? There must be something silly and easy out there.

Hit me with your ideas! please!

On the last Hobby Hangout I started scratch building the Ork Shokk Attack Gun. This is how it turned out. Quite pleased with it. #Warhammer40k #WarhammerCommunity

Facebook, YouTube und all die anderen kommerziellen „sozialen Medien“ werden immer schlechter. Aber das muss einen nicht jucken, denn inzwischen haben sich die dezentralen Alternativen ganz gut gemacht und es ist kein „du musst Admin sein um das hier zu verstehen“ mehr.

Sollte jetzt hier (oder im Fediverse) einer der alten Recken aus YouKraut Zeiten mitlesen, dann lade ich euch ein. Kommt rüber zu makertube.net/ als Alternative zu YouTube oder als zweites Standbein.

Anders als viele andere PeerTube Instanzen, die ich bisher besucht habe, gibt es bei MakerTube (derzeit) kein Limit, wie viel ihr speichern könnt. Ja, ein Tageslimit von 20GB gibt es aber wer lädt am Tag 20GB an Videos hoch?

YouKraut ist tot, lang lebe PeerKraut. Ok, klingt so knackig wie ich dachte aber ihr versteht was ich meine.

Sehen wir uns auf der anderen Seite?

PS: solltet ihr, die ihr dies lest, nicht selber ein deutschsprachiger Inhaltsersteller im Bereich Tabletop sein aber welche kennen, so verweist sie gerne an mich. Ich werde versuchen so vielen wie möglich beim Umzug zu helfen 🙂

Yeah, it was just a matter of time.

YouTube continues on it's way to make the desktop browser experience as worse as possible. Up until yesterday when looking at your subscription feed you would get the option to have tiles or a plain list of video releases by all the channels you are subscribed to. Easy to navigate and see where you left last time and who did what new stuff. Worked great!


That choice is gone. On a 1080p monitor with Firefox you now have 9 tiles of the latest subscribed channels then bloody shorts before it continues with subscribed channels.

If you, like me, follow a lot of channels this is cluttered to the n-th degree. I dread to think how that looks for people that don't use an ad blocker.

God, what a sh*t show. Need to spend some time on plugin research then I guess?
