This week we are joined by none other than Arbitor Ian! While you may be familiar with his expert lore videos on YouTube, we wanted to dive deeper into his takes on the hobby and painting… Expect to learn how Ian stays motivated to complete army projects as someone who does not enjoy painting, how lore knowledge can benefit the look of your models, overcoming painting failures, balancing your time with the hobby, and methods to enjoy your painting as much as possible! 

Also stay tuned for our question of the week all about motivation, and where we find it in the hobby. As well as our closing hobby hack, where our guest drops a bombshell trick for assembling resin and metal miniatures!
