hey guys jay here welcome to eons about the new
eon's a battle there is plenty of new things to talk about let's get into it
this will be something of a channel update we have been back putting out videos for over a year
publishing three videos a week and 155 videos later here we are from humble beginnings as
horribly nerdy high schoolers making hobby videos with the production quality of middle schoolers
we are now producing hobby videos that we are really really proud of
and i would like to thank all the viewers who seem to agree with me that the videos are good because
you watch them and that is really really cool we strive to always be fun and positive on the
channel i remember starting off in the hobby about eight years ago and had so many awesome hobby
channels to watch and keep the party going even after my games were done and my friends had all
gone home that is what we will continue to do here we want to be a resource we love playing these
games and i want everyone to be having as much fun as i am we here at ye olde eons of battle we
love making videos i mean we make three a week it's all we ever do but we can't just do it on
youtube alone we started a patreon and it has grown an incredible amount and it makes me so
humble that people want to support us we have a lot of people on the patreon now and that has
given us a real opportunity here we want to be a hobby resource we want to make a product that
can help people get the most out of their games we offered some original terrain stls to our patrons
and we love the response and want to do a lot more of that we will be coming out with terrain
monthly we have nothing but ideas and we're making these terrain pieces with gaming in mind
all of the train we make will not only look great but will function well on the tabletop
in addition to those monthly terrain stls we now have some patreon only shows something
different from our normal youtube thing something we could really only do on patreon a lot like our
eob complete where we show off people's models at the end of our videos we have a new show where we
select viewers models to really deep dive on and give some thoughtful critique and more importantly
encouragement i am really pumped for this show i know every time i see a model i have things to say
you can think of it like a one-on-one tutoring that you can watch over and over again in addition
to that show we also have a new show where we take a look at the content over on conflict gavel plus
we're geeky war gamers and we wanted to watch the stuff anyway come along and watch with us mystery
science theater 3000 style as we get excited by and make fun of the official combat mallet plus
content you know what i'm talking about and what you've all been waiting for battle reports yes
our patreon launched with one goal and that was to create the best gosh darn battle reports out there
since we started this channel we knew we wanted to make some battle reports and having finally
reached that goal work has commenced now battle reports are tricky because i feel like what's
out there currently although excellent is not for me i don't want to see every single dice roll and
i don't want to watch a two to three hour video and so our goal is to make easy to watch quick
narrative driven battle reports from the model's perspective my favorite aspect of wargaming is
the element of role playing i don't want to feel like a nerd rolling dice i already know what that
feels like i want to feel like i'm in the middle of a vicious battle between space marines and orcs
and we are actively working on getting that accomplished the tentative release schedule
for our first battle report is in november but we really want to do something unique and
special with battle reports and we're not going to publish anything until we feel it's perfect
if you are currently a member of our patreon not only are supporting us with food and shelter
money but you're also helping us grow and upgrade the quality of our videos and you get some cool
perks as well behind the scenes updates of what we're working on the video release schedule early
voting on what models i paint live here on youtube yep i don't pick anything it's all the patrons you
will get those stls i mentioned earlier and the coolest part to me an exclusive hobby hangout with
us every friday night from 10 pm to 12 am central time where we all pile into a discord room and
chit chat it's an awesome way to end the week it reminds me of when i used to hang out at
the local warhammer store just a bunch of nerds all hanging out somebody once told me the world
now
our patreon only show premieres on saturdays and summer out now
and we will continue to produce our weekly youtube videos and those will get better too
we have big things in the works stay tuned and we also stream live painting every day of the
week except sundays come hang out with nick and i and chat about the current goings-on of wargaming
joking around and telling stories while getting a little bit of painting done along the way
thank you all so much for giving us the opportunity to do this it is our favorite thing
to do i am still in shock at how much this has grown in just a year i mean look at the new set
i hope you guys continue to enjoy the videos we make and as always thanks for watching
