WHAT DO YOU ACTUALLY COME HERE FOR?

Genuinely asking.


I know what I enjoy making. Lore, the real history behind the fiction, getting into hobbies without the overwhelm. The Tolkien stuff, the 40K stuff, the occasional chaotic painting video.


But I want to know what you actually come here for. What made you subscribe. What you want more of. What you'd quietly like me to stop doing.


You don't have to be gentle. I can take it. (that's what she said)


The channel gets better when I know what's actually landing. So drop it in the comments.


And if you're seeing this without being subscribed, that's the button. Right there.

PATREON AND SEPARATE COMMUNITY SPACES: CONNECTION OR BARRIER?

A lot of creators are building spaces away from YouTube. Patreon, Discord, memberships.


For some people that feels like being asked to pay twice. For others it feels like finally getting access to the real version of someone they already trust.


I've been thinking about this for my own channel. Things like reading groups, behind the scenes content, more relaxed stuff that doesn't fit a structured YouTube video.


But I genuinely don't know if that appeals to you or puts you off. So I'm asking.
Would you want that? Or is YouTube plenty?

Or share your ideas here: forms.gle/eowqvn1SMCWxT7qF7

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT 11TH EDITION?

I know a lot of you have questions.


Some of you are just getting into 40K and wondering what it is all about. Some of you have been playing for years and are watching the leaks with either excitement or the quiet resignation of someone who's been here before.


I want to make content that actually helps you navigate it rather than just reacting to everything.


So tell me in the comments: what do you actually want to know? What would genuinely help you right now?


I'm reading every reply.

WHY GAMING FEELS LIKE A FINANCIAL COMMITMENT NOW

Getting into a new hobby used to cost you a starter set and a Saturday afternoon.


Now it feels like a financial decision that requires a spreadsheet.


A decent Warhammer starter kit. A basic paint range. A rulebook. Before you've rolled a single dice you're looking at well over a hundred quid, and that's before you realise you bought the wrong faction.


I think this puts a lot of people off who would genuinely love it. Not because they can't afford it. Because they're scared of wasting money on something they might not stick with.


It's worth talking about, especially with 11th Edition...let's chat in the comments!

WHAT DO YOU HAVE ON WHEN YOU'RE PAINTING?

Right. Painting minis question.


I know for a fact most of you don't paint in silence. Nobody paints in silence. It's not physically possible to sit there drybrushing a Space Marine knee pad and just listen to your own thoughts.


So what's on? YouTube? A podcast? The same three episodes of something you've already watched four times?


I'll go first. Currently rotating between Talking Thrones on YouTube and rewatching Band of Brothers for the fifth time. Which tells you everything you need to know about me.


What about you? Drop it below.

I need your help! COMMENT ON THIS POST.

I've got a rather large LEGO set that I'm ridiculously excited about, but I need to know...

What sort of LEGO content would you actually like to see on the channel?

Would you enjoy:

- Build timelapses?
- The lore behind the set?
- A full review once it's built?
- Hidden details and references?
- Comparisons to the books, films, or wider lore?
- Complete chaos as I inevitably lose pieces?

I've not done a huge amount of LEGO content before, so before I start filming I'd love to know what you'd genuinely watch.

Drop your ideas below. The more specific, the better.

Let's just say there may be a few beacons waiting to be lit...

WE ARE BEST COMMUNITY OF NERDS ON THE INTERNET.

For anyone new around here, these are a few of the things that make me, well... me.

Fantasy worlds, sci-fi, tabletop games, video games, Tolkien, painting tiny plastic soldiers, campervan adventures, terrible dad rock, and far too much caffeine.

I started creating content because I love sharing the stories, characters and worlds that have inspired me for years, and somehow this wonderful community has grown around that.

Whether you're here for Warhammer, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, D&D, gaming, or just because a reel appeared on your feed and you got stuck listening to a woman with a British accent talk about fictional people for several minutes...

Welcome. Pull up a chair.

Now tell me something about YOU. What's the hobby you could happily talk about for hours if someone made the mistake of asking?
