We all love Warhammer painting videos, but what are they lacking compared to physical books? 

In this episode we chat to Dave Taylor, (hobbyist and publisher of The Art Of book series) about his journey in the hobby, and what he has learned from working with some of the most talented and creative artists in the miniature painting industry... 

Expect insights into:
🖌️ Learning from books vs video 
💭 Commonalities in pro artists 
📖 How Dave's books are created
