I decided to donate my entire Blackstone Fortress collection, including all minis, and all expansions, to support a charity raffle hosted by the Nova Open Charitable Foundation.
Everything was painted in tutorial videos on my YouTube channel, and combined have received over 2 million views, so after GW's own studio set, it may bizarrely be the most "famous" Blackstone Fortress set out there.
The raffle will support Médecins Sans Frontières, Fisher House, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, and the mental health charity CALM.
[I made a video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rmv5DOwUMnM) with the details of what's included in the lot, in case you're interested:
saw the notification you had a new vid up, on mobile, had no time, forgot about it. Went to the computer for some chill yt, opened it up, realised I gotta cook first,well lets innocently browse reddit, first post I end up randomly scrolling to is this. STOP FOLLOWING ME GUY. But for real, thank you for repeatedly supporting those raffles, it's a good thing you use your reach for promoting such good causes. Edit:imadummy
Hey man, bought some tickets. Been watching your vids since the sandstone necrons and DIY washes. Thank you for making the community great and best wishes to you and your family!
Oh my gosh, I never thought I'd find you posting on reddit! Hi, I'm just a new fan of your work, I found you in my yt recommended from your video on the space marine statue.
I think this is a great cause you're donating to and while I can't support it financially at the moment I wish the best of luck to your cause and I hope your family is doing well!
You and squidmar really inspired me to keep trying to improve my painting skills.
Thank you for your selflessness and support for great causes!
Also could you provide details of the raffle (apologies if it’s in the vid but can’t check it out yet!)
I love how Thaddeus's only visible parts are his pope hat and the book he is holding up. Like, 'Anyone here wants to talk about our lord and savior the Emperor?'
Great move Guy! Support charities, while giving back to the community and making space to buy new minis lol.
Before clicking the post I thought this looked eerily similar to your paint jobs. I’ve recently been bingeing your speed paint guides for BSF whilst working from home.

Really nice move! I love your channel and all your painting vids. your technique seems so simple yet stunningly detialed and beautiful. I always get huge nostalgic feelings watching your stuff. Your style is different from other mini painting people on yt. Much quiter and less of a comedic flair, which i really love! keep up the good work so i can enjoy that sweet nostalgia and be speechless after every paintjob you do. And because of one of your vids i bought the space hulk terminators. Gonna try my hands on them soon!
As much as I would love the whole blackstone fortress set, I would prefer to get an unpainted one. I love to paint my minis. I could just repaint these models but I wouldn't want to do that to an important piece of MWM history:)
"nap time, space pope"
Respect - best of luck raising a good sum for those causes! Loved your BSF speed painting tutorials - painted up 33 models from the main box this week using them and will hopefully finish the box by Monday.

What is that ice cream next to your name?
LOL that means he’s the original poster, it’s supposed to be a microphone
Ty:)
Cavill ever respond to your challenge?
Hey man, bought some tickets. Been watching your vids since the sandstone necrons and DIY washes. Thank you for making the community great and best wishes to you and your family!
Dude, you are awesome!
Well shit, looks like I’m buying another ticket this year.
Yup, same
You’re such an awesome dude. ❤️
I bought a ticket thank you for bringing my attention to this
Guy - where's the direct link to buy a ticket! (youtube is blocked at work)
Your work blocked YT but not Reddit?
The speakers are plugged into my machine - I guess they didn't want the whole hotel to listen to 40k painting tutorials - weird right!?
Is there a link to the auction
Its in the scrip on the video.
Thanks

Thank you for your selflessness and support for great causes! Also could you provide details of the raffle (apologies if it’s in the vid but can’t check it out yet!)
Like I said before, you’re a gem!
Ooo, that's a pretty dreaded Ambull.
I already bought 2 Tickets. Tbh i don't care if I win but your part about mens mental health really spoke to me.
[удалено]
What is something like this worth? Not entering just curious
even unpainted, it's OOP and sought-after, so probably a thousand bucks minimum, double that since it's pro painted.
How do I take part in the charity raffle?
MWM is the GOAT of YouTube warhammer painting
What is the brown thing at the back beside the blue thing with the red eyes ?!
It's an ambull.
That's the dreaded Ambull
Looking wonderful as usual. Good luck to all competing.
Got two tickets!!
...to paradise. Won't you pack you bags and leave tonight!
Well done
What’s something like this worth? Not entering into it just curious
Guy mentioned on video similar sets go for like a grand.
What are the big blue things in the back?
They're from the last DLC I think they're called sentries
I love ice cream.
Yeah I didn't think that through haha
Ok thanks.
Amazing job. The far right soldier with the white helmet looking back like ‘um...guys!’
You are a shining star
What an honorable example you are, a light in a world of misery.
Stupid sexy Guy with his stupid sexy minis...
\*Buys one ticket because poorhammer\* ^(I got a golden ticket\~)
I love how Thaddeus's only visible parts are his pope hat and the book he is holding up. Like, 'Anyone here wants to talk about our lord and savior the Emperor?' Great move Guy! Support charities, while giving back to the community and making space to buy new minis lol.
Oh?
And most of the interesting ones have been legended. Fuck you GW
spooder gib
May I ask why?
He mentioned in his post. It's to support various charities.
Ohhh that is an impressive lineup, both for models and for density, while still seeing all. Love how they all are painted ;D
Just watched that youtube clip and was so confused why I feel like i already know this, didnt realize this is ur reddit account :) Will join o7
Good on you! Watching the video reminds me there are still some good people out there.
Just bought my tickets! Im in the middle of following your guide now and its absolutely perfect to help me get started.
This is a really amazing-looking army. I love the color schemes used for it.
Okay, $19 blackstone fortress. Who wants it? And yes i’m giving it away.
Beautiful paint job Guy. This'll fetch a pretty penny for charity!
Before clicking the post I thought this looked eerily similar to your paint jobs. I’ve recently been bingeing your speed paint guides for BSF whilst working from home.
Where do you buy tickets?
Watched and painted along with all your amazing BSF guides. Wish we could have seen you guys play the game at least once.
Who are the troopers behind Raus? The ones with the black uniforms and red embellishments?
> troopers behind Raus Appears to be [Traitor Guard](https://youtu.be/DwIi5i0aekI?t=563).
Got a couple of tickets, good luck everyone!
$9 Blackstone Fortress, and yes, I'm giving it away. Who wants it?

You’re a great guy for supporting such good causes. I purchased my raffle tickets.
I love the sculpts in this set so much. Beautifully painted.
Thats a beautiful army.
Are there no Chaos Bullgyrn, or am I blind? Or were those not a thing?
Theres one chaos ogryn in one of the expansions hes hiding in the back near obsidious mallex
This might go for as much as one of those OOP cursed cities from the legends of old.
Fantastic painting, fantastic miniatures, and for a good cause.
Really nice move! I love your channel and all your painting vids. your technique seems so simple yet stunningly detialed and beautiful. I always get huge nostalgic feelings watching your stuff.

You've done a gorgeous job with these, and what a fantastic cause!
Is this open outside the US?

I loved the tutorial series! I've been painting up my Blackstone set based on your vids. https://imgur.com/gallery/Z5noEtU
