I want to watch Jay make 40k-themed clothing.

On the point of scale and models, Gunpla kits do this really well. Generally the larger "Perfect Grade" kits are full of detail that just doesn't show up in the smaller kits or in the anime.

Back in the day, gold helmets used to indicate Veteran Assault Squad, which was unique to Blood Angels. That kind of slowly morphed over time into gold armor and the Sanguinary Guard, as GW introduced Sternguard and Vanguard veterans for all chapters. It'd be nice to see the unique Veteran Assault Squad come back.

You're right that those bits aren't available in the blood angels primaris upgrade kit, but if you look at the non-primaris upgrade kit that the still sell, the chest pieces and death mask etc. are all identical. Obviously they're not actually compatible with the primaris, but the designs are the same

Won't even get 9th Ed guard before we get 10th edition dammit Guard are really getting shafted

I think for the Blood Angel action models, the designers looked at the older firstborn models and used parts from the BA upgrade kit and the Sanginary Guard kit. Having done a lot of BA kitbashing on my firstborn and I recognise almost all the BA themed parts. Although the parts have been modified to be primaris, like around the neck or the arms. And I will not lie, I like these models, I like them alot. A thought crosses my mind, is it possible that these models are actually based on the new 10th edition models? (edit: *let's Jay finish talking about these BA models, only to see we're on the same page* lol)

I’ve got to say, I would absolutely buy those coasters - 2nd edition was the one I started with, and I actually owned three of those codexes! Edit: screw it, I ordered them.

The name you were looking for was the Death Company.

2nd edition was not so so long ago. It was just yesterday! [yells harder at clouds]

Thanks for making me feel old jay, 2nd edition was my childhood 😢

The bit about Star Wars Episode 8 killed me lol, too funny.

I actually like the 2nd ed coasters. I would've preferred if they did sets by race. Having them have 1st-9th Ed and showing the progression would be cool

The sort of fans who are nostalgic for 2nd Edition, are finally at the age where coasters become an obsession.

Necrons first got their rules in 2nd edition in a White Dwarf. So you need a copy of that issue. You'll also need a few units (rail rifles, demonettes on seekers) and armies also printed in White Dwarf. Sisters of Battle, Death Watch, the original Grey Knights, vehicle design rules... Even the terminator invulnerable save came from a White Dwarf.

Once those cork coasters get ruined they can become part of a cork tower base

I played from Rogue Trader up to 9th and have recently gone back to 2nd ed. Turns out there is quite a large community out there for it.

I’d honestly like more Blood Angels upgrade parts or even just bring back the old specific tactical squad, Blood Angels decorate their armour and our master attests and artisans

20:22 is when he discusses 10th edition leak. 13:26 it’s the joy toys leak. Before that it’s upholstery and coasters.

I feel like you missed the point of the 2nd Codex coasters, it's not just a nostalgia thing. The artwork has a really nice retro aesthetic that stands out and as someone who didn't play back then still think it looks cool.

The BA models look like they took the BA First Borne Tactical Marines and molded their look on the Primaris. That is something the BA players I know (less than a handfull) clamored for.

I noticed that those Blood Angels have the Assault Intercessors gauntlet on both of they're arms instead of just on the left arm. Which is interesting

I started playing 40k at 2nd ed. The coasters are awesome

You know he knows exactly what he's talking about when he's not sure about something. You know it's the death company man

I think the 2nd Ed Coasters look neat, but I love the Retro art of OldHammer. I recently got a box full of old issues of White Dwarf and part of me just wants to stick the covers on my wall

The thing about the 2nd edition covers is the art style has a real retro charm without being completely goofy.

cork is absorbant for sure. that is why they use it for wine bottles, it expands when it gets wet to seal the bottle.

Reminds me of a story a friend of mine told me. He was an imperial aquila tattoo on his shoulder and while being in processed to the marine corps he had to explain what the imperium was to his DI. He was being grilled about it until the DI saw the chaos star on the guy behind him

This episode just had really good vibes, great personality

18:00 The interesting thing is, the bits that GW sells are for Firstborn, while the JoyToy Bladeguard is Primaris. It's not a big deal for the backpack, but the cape is impossible to put on Bladeguard without some heavy cutting and greenstuff sculpting.

The thing with the Primaris JoyToys, both the Space Wolf Bladeguard and the Blood Angel veterans all use Firstborn style parts. While they aren't usable parts with the Primaris (without a lot of work) they are still existing parts and I doubt it is an indication of what 10th Edition will bring.

I don't know, as somebody who is only joined Warhammer in 9th edition, I kind of enjoy the earlier artwork in its own right. I might buy those coasters.

19:20 Those Blood Angels parts are from the firstborn upgrade sprue. The sprue only contains one of each chestplate, but the mask, the special halos the grail, the dagger that the guy in the middle hold in his left hand and the shoulders can all be found there, so it is just a more elaborate kitbash based on various Primaris Lieutenants. The guy in the back left is based on Lieutenant Tomleron, the guy with the chalice is a reskinned Amulius and so on.

My wife works on licensed clothes. The way it works is, when a company "wins" a license. The are given access to huge libraries of art and asset packs. They then pitch various ideas to the license holder to see what sticks and what they want to end up producing.

Those coasters are fire.

In the future, there is only coasters and doilies.

You know if you walk into a meeting and your customers President has this Tie on. You know it’s ON!😂

When a wrist-mounted double full-auto rocket launcher just dosn't cut it anymore...

The 2nd Ed codex art is iconic to 40k imo, I approve

The joy toy ultramarines too are amazing, lots of parts from old upgrade kit, if GW will make them into some kit(they showed also a generic Primaris Lieutenant with chainsword, at the moment not a legal configuration) they will finally give some justice to ultramarines

For Primaris Termies I say they should NOT be truescaled. I think just increasing the size of the armor but keeping all proportions would be perfect.

"Say, did they capture the 3rd most identifying iconic detail of the Blood Angels?!" "Indeed, Wings, Blood Drop, and Nipples in all their 6.5" splendor!"

Easy! coasters are used more by adult people, not teenagers or 20s years old. So the art fits the target

I can confirm the neck ties are subtle enough to be used as a normal tie

Dark vengeance wasn't generic chaos!! It was Crimson Slaughter!!

Next job; moonlighting making rubber duck bathrobes to sell on Amazon.

Going to school for costume design totally made sense. Knew you had that theatre kid vibe about you!

Honestly I hope they make the Primaris terminators like the Tartaros pattern, it would make sense since Primaris armour is based off of mark 4 armour. Plus I dispise the proportions and helmets of standard termies

Loved the dark vengeance box it was in a time where gw loved chaos and released chaos Vs chaos box set

Re Bathrobe: fabric stores can order you terrycloth with a duck print. They're pretty easy to make if you have access to a sewing machine.

I want those coasters! Legit it’s smart as only most of the older generation use coasters at home

Think I might get the angels of death coaster! Thanks for the heads up!

Still up late painting.. thanks for the upload boys!

🩸👼👍 I would guess the next starter box might be marketed as Blood Angels but will actually contain upgrade sprues as part of a broad strategy to normalize buying extras in separate kits 👍 And possibly a Blood Angel Primaris Space Hulk tie in or more Baal stuff.

I think out of all the people that grew up with it, 2nd edition was seen as the golden era, often seen as the greatest rule set for 40k for playing a smaller scale game, the artwork was the brightest and most striking, I guarantee Merchoid have a proper old school gamer working with them either directly or as a consultant.

The sarcasm for Last Jedi was next level

I would totally watch Jay sew 40k themed clothing

I want those codex coasters. 2nd edition was the shit.

Blood Angels have anti-grav chalice... Keeps the blood from spilling lol.

“A bit of a seamstress” as you mention thousands of hours of experience 😂

Oh yeah, exhaustive unit lore in codexes is really something that went away with datacards. Every unit used to have a well thought out place within the army (lore). No they just throw stuff at it with like a single paragraph description what it is. BTW, could it be that a lot of the JoyToy BAs are taken from the OOP Blood Angels tactical squad? (man that was a cool kit!)?

I don't know if anybody else has posted this but new Primaris Blood Angel's figures are out, they're available in those eight dollar mystery marine boxes that I've seen at the local stores (I'm near Detroit.)

"Not a lot of money, I don't have a lot of money." Mmmhmm?

I still have that Eldar Codex over there *points to where he keeps his codices* I think I could be up for those coasters, I remember every one of those codices from my childhood.

Those wrist guards are on Bladguard Veterans - originally from the Indomitus box.

Some of us remember those codexes! My first ever Codex was Angels of Death :3

Second edition is where the nostalgia is for 40-somethings who need coasters

100% getting those 2nd edition coasters for my uncle who’s still stuck in 2nd edition lmao

these chest pieces (and the backpack bling too, I think) are all from the firstborn BA upgrade kit. That suggests that one of two things happened, that either GW, or Joytoy looked at those and was inspired, in GW's case to make Blood angels specific primaris troops using those as the template, or Joytoy, to make a set of action figures that mash up the two. The real interesting thing I've not seen anyone mention is, what unit are these guys? assault Intercessor Sgts. can take power swords, but regular assault intercessors can't. Gold helmets indicates veterans, but vet intercessors can't equip all power weapons either, unless that's changing in 10th. might make vet. Intecessor's, at least the melee version, worth taking. Hell, maybe power swords are standard wargear for melee vets.

I will never forget the day I had a lv 4 librarian in terminator armor and lightning claws. combat drugs, quickening, iron will, vortex and holocaust. I have been playing since 1992. I have not read two words of lore. It does not matter to me at all. One great thing about the game, is that it appeals to different people in different ways

that robe sounds awesome. sewing is such a great skill (if you haven't seen it, the work of ACRNYM is quite inspiring). Perhaps searching for "terry cloth" might help? Also: if you do sew it yourself, please film it. Such an underrated and awesome ability. Flaunt it.

The target market for drink coasters is us folks in 30s to 50s guys (who probably have their own gaming den), you know the guys who started back in 2nd ed.

I actually bought that exact neck tie a few weeks ago specifically to wear out in London whilst dressed up 1940s style for my wife's birthday. It was awesome being the only person who knew I was wearing 40k merch. Plus, it's actually really good quality and I'd argue it was worth the £17.99 I paid for it. The rest of my outfit was all second hand so the tie was the most expensive thing I had on. 😉

hey jay all those parts on the BA are from the firstborn upgrade sprue

As a BA player I noticed all of these extras are from the first born upgrade sprue.. so it's just like the Space wolf 🐺

On the topic of "who made the coasters", I currently work in a small textiles company that sometimes makes merchandise for people and theres a strong possibility it can go either way. We have a large number of our customers who to come to us with designs and bascialyl want us to make them work without changing anything, a few places however know what they want but have some sort of limitation that stops them doing in house (like no graphic design team) which means it goes to our designs to put their elements together how they'd like it. Others again just give us design stuff they have avaliable and tell us to go wild and make stuff for them. With a big company like GW it would probably either be the first or the last. They're either very pushy about what can be made and want no deviations, or they're treating it as just another revenue source and giving them assests without making them do anything with them, at which point someone decided they wanted to make them.

I think it be cool to just get general upgrade sprues for space marines, since we can now make our own custom chapter. It doesn't make sense to buy a Imperial Fists upgrade sprue for the power fist if I'm not going to use the molded shoulder pads. I'd rather have a few power sword, combi, and plasma options to choose from instead of like chapter specific helmets and shoulder pads

Of course I finally get into 40k right when the new edition is supposed to come out...

the sub-faction of blood angles that you were thinking of was death-company. the chest plates with abs of a couple of the blood angels models are similar to the sanguinary guard chest plates

Those Joy Toy Blood Angels models are made from pre existing parts found in the BA Firstborn upgrade kit

As a few have said the blood angel models are just equipped with a number of parts from the first born upgrade kit. You can see the chest pieces, chalice, 3 of the back pack decorations, the knife, 2 of the heads, and the fancy shoulder pads from it. The front center one appears to have been given a Primaris LT backpack. And the loin cloth looks suspiciously similar to the one that the Blood Angel Primaris LT has, it looks like one of the even has some of the same extra detail on his leg from that model. And the sword on the guy in the back sure looks a lot like that LTs sword. 😂

No to the coasters, but I 100% want one of the rubber ducky bathrobes!

Lots of deep lore on the chronicles of Jay today, if you can make that bathrobe then there's possibly another product waiting for the EoB merch collection!

The wrist armor is called a bracer, and the Death Company is what you were looking for!

This is why I love your channel. Rubber ducky bathrobes. You're living life! On a related note. The most comfortable thing I have ever....EVER worn was an UGG robe. If you find one, grab it.

Great video! Made my morning a little bit better.

Death company is the black blood angels who succumbed to the black rage

I think you're off the mark on the 2nd edition coasters. The art style is iconic to the brand and would way outsell new codex art versions

@Jay - you should find a good towel-material blue bathrobe and some rubber duckie patches then combine the two

I suppose 2nd ed art was so much brighter than more recent editions so the coasters will stand out more?

Lol the Blood Angel toys have armor nipples. Also him holding the chalice on an angle like that bothers me. liquid dont stay in a cup held like that.

Instructions unclear, bought 30 Warhammer ties.

Primaris Marine in Tactical Dreadnought armour. Make them beefy af. Like, seriously big, but still that classic Terminator armour look. Make them almost as large as the old school box Dreadnought. Upgrade their storm Bolter to a hurrican Bolter (just smallified compared to what's on the side of a land raider crusader) and buff the power fist by making them have strength 5 instead of 4. Toughness 6. Squads of 3 to 6. All can take heavy weapon upgrades instead of just one in a squad

I am the target demographic for the 2nd edition coasters, and now feel very attacked. They are perfect.

I got one of the chaos sorcerer robes for Christmas and it’s both comfy and cool looking

The blood Angels models are basically kit bashes. They took a bunch of different pre-existing bits and mashed them together (look up first born BA upgrade spare) :) If they make new blood Angels though, that would be great!

Second edition looks the absolute best. I wasn’t even around for it.

I have a a kylo ren mug. I think the title of the 8th Star Wars is: Star Wars turn down for what. Thanks gents! Fantastic as always!!

Actually, all of these bits already exist. The chest pieces are from the BA tactical marines kit and the firstborn upgrade sprue

Bro first codex I had was that angels of death in the low right corner of when you're showing The Coasters I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Back then blood angels and Dark Angels were combined in one codex it was sweet

A lot of that blood angle bling is from the old blood angels tactical squad
