Yeah, I'd *much* rather watch mini painters on YouTube that you can *tell* were inspired by Mr Rogers, Levar Burton, Julia Childs, Sheri Lewis, Bob Ross, Carl Sagan, and the like.
I want to watch people that inspire wonder, curiosity, and love for the hobby.

“Volkus is our turf!”
The Imperial Guard keeps on defending Volkus against the T’au spy’s and saboteurs.
Devastatingly efficient mortar attacks and a determined advance sealed the fate of the enemy. Dead T’au can’t pass on intel.

I also want to make this *super* clear: the fact that so many people have considered my Hive Fleet to be included in the gay community absolutely melts my heart. I genuinely *love* what have become my "Gay Pride Nids", and no army of armchair neckbearded chuds is going to rip that joy from me.

I was experiencing the same thing. My whole family game group became exhausted with the game. Primarily from product fatigue. A local at my former LGS introduced me to Premodern, and it reinvigorated my interest because I happened to start with 4th edition.
