Why WARHAMMER 40K?

Topic Ideas: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FA...

In this video I attempt to paint a Blood Angels Ballistus Dreadnought using only community advice. Along the way I also ramble through why Warhammer is so popular, from White Dwarf nostalgia and the Lord of the Rings boom to Black Library and video games like Dawn of War.

This is not a painting tutorial. This is a cautionary tale.
