Is it me or did anyone else feel like this was the fastest eleven minutes on earth? Between the exquisite detailing and the narration, time vanishes into the WIW.

"This side of cicatrix maledictum ain't big enough for both of us, heretic." -Brother Captain Cassidy Y. Haw, circa 41st millenium.

"Wait, do you hear that?" "For tha emp-yeehah!" [hollerin' and shootin' noises] "Oh no."

For the Emperor, pardner!!

a smoke stack or two would have worked marvels for that knight... It's already pretty steampunky, it needed only that little bit to push it over the edge to look wild-westy.

Ah my 3 favorite things 1. A Boylei video 2. Space Marines 3. Cowboys

I was hoping for a giant cowboy hat on the big guy 😂

name suggestion the imperial Marshals, they just need the star badges.

Wow…the bases, hats, bison horns, spurs, facial hair…so many creative details, and finished off with some of the best painting I’ve seen you do! This is one of the coolest armies I’ve ever seen!

"Wehll if it ain't the Daemon Prince! G'Day yer """majesty""", ah'd tip mah hat to yah, BUT AH LAWST ET!" ~Deputy Captain Oklahomas Winchestire, 5th Company, Royal Gunstringer Chapter of the Adeptus Astartes.

Your creativity is astounding. Beautifully done! Post Script: The Ramblin' Throne Boys chapter may not be perfectly codex compliant, but their devotion to rootin' out varmints (tyranids), banditos (renegades), outlaws (chaos marines), and such-like malefactors on their homeworld of New New Tejas is second to none.

I’m in love with the recent Warhammer pop-ins that some of my favourite creators started putting out

Fun fact: a rotary cannon _is_ a Gatling! They are mechanically identical to the original Gatling gun, just made with modern materials and tolerances. The main difference is the de-linker, i.e. the piece of space age magic that separates up to 6000 rounds of ammunition per minute from the links of the ammo belt to feed the Beast. This army is absolutely fabulous. I agree, the spurs are the best part, but it's by a very narrow margin. It makes me wonder what kind of monumental creatures they are equipped to hunt? The Great Rat King of San Francisco? The Horror at Red Hook? Could it be... have they actually tracked down... a GRUE?!?

Best ever use of Warhammer miniatures. Ever. ...EVER!

This is so awesome. I have a Studio Ghibli themed Ork army and have used purple-y shadows as well. It adds so much to the final look!

Probably the best mashup ever! Love the Wild West marines!

Once upon a time, I was thinking up a Western-themed Space Marine Chapter called the Steel Riders. I debated about if I wanted to keep it grounded in the 40k aesthetic or go fully Western with it. In the end, I never ended up doing any models at all. This is exactly how I pictured the fully Western idea though. So it was truly amazing to see this video!

He could have easily edited it out, but instead he had us also feel the pain of the stubborn piece of tape! Amazing paint job and imagination; to both think it and pull it off!

this is the MOST ingenious conversion iv'e seen dude.

I can’t express how unbelievable cool this is.

I am so amazed at your skill. The creative approach to your work is incredible. I've enjoyed your videos for quite some time now and can't get over the beautiful work you do. I'm 70 years old and I'm learning from you. Love your work!

I’ll be so sad once this imaginary west series concludes. Amazing work and great story telling 🙏💪

Love these minis, cowboy space marines was not something I knew I needed but now I have received it it will live within me forever

I was unsure of how this would turn out until the reveal but I was really surprised how nicely they all tie in together, they really do have that wild west theme and I think you communicated it very well.

Might I recommend putting a smokestack on the knight, it may help it feel more like a steam train

"Howdy heretic! This warp ain't big enough for the both of us!"

I would LOVE to see you use these minis you have been making with actual bases in a wargame battle. Even if just one time only, I don't know if you have ever actually played any tabletop battles, but you definitely have a worthy army for 40k now and seeing them work on the tabletop would be a neat "side project" to your amazing work. Also, just as a side note: this army might seem to someone new to Warhammer 40,000 that it "doesn't fit", but the beauty of all the various lore for 40k is that almost anything can fit if you come up with a story for why. I could imagine this army being a Space Wolf based army (using the Space Wolf rules) that was simply raised on some planet where the western theming was part of every day life for the people there, and being very much one of the more "traditionalist" factions within the various chapters of Space Marines (maybe this side of the Black Templars and their obvious ties to a more knightly design), these Space Wolves retained all their adopted home world's western styling as a result of having grown up there and not wanting to lose that part of them that helped raise them and make them worthy of being Space Marines in the first place. A literal rough and tumble planet of hostile forces that allowed each one to survive being Space Marine scouts and turn into the Emperor's Chosen. And so the wolf aspect makes sense as well, as in the Wild Imaginary West, giant and dangerous wolves are a constant threat, just like on this Secondus chapter's homeworld, and because these men made Marines are so tough, they tamed those massive wolves as mounts to ride in honor of trying to become Space Marines for their future life off world. Could even be a whole rite of passage to tame your very own wolf as mount, companion, and show of strength that you have what it takes to become a Marine when the chapter comes calling for more.

In my head, I think of this channel as mainly a kitbashing/scratch building channel. So, whenever I see how great the sculpting is, I'm always surprised. The beards, the moustaches, and the skull all look like they came right off of a sprue.

I cried inside when he said my beloved wolves weren't marines haha still love this channel dude has inspired me so much

8:56 always hate when that happens its like: Get off.. get off.. GET OFF!

Love Boylei and love Warhammer ❤ perfect mix

Very happy that the most definitely Loyal Imperial Robot got himself an adorable cowboy hat :3

Making those Astartes and the Knight magically turn into cowpokes was quite a feat! It is hard for me to unsee the characteristic Warhammer design that all these models have, but you did a damn fine job.

Please make more WIW videos! I love watching you make such involved, story driven dioramas! The fact that these all share a universe and form a cohesive story makes this all the more impressive!

you should add a smokestack to the knight to make him look more steam-powered

No exaggeration. That is the most clever idea I’ve seen for a Warhammer army. And the locomotive theme for the big guy was perfect! Someone needs to make a movie about the IWW! 🎥

Space marines with revolvers is pure rule of cool and I love it. Looks incredible

40k guy here. This army looks incredibly awesome! Those 6 shooters and cowboy hats!, wow. Very cool BHT. 👍

Man, I love your sense of humor. "Caraplace?" And the little segment with the tape that wouldn't go away? Come on! 😂

would have loved to see more of the WIW tech on the mechs, aswell as a cowboy hat on the knight

"There's a snake in my suit!"

It is a crime that the dreadnought was not given a tiny cowboy hat! Also, just an idea, but have you ever heard of Rivers of Teeth? Basically, its cowboys hunting hippos in the swamps of Louisiana. I think it would mesh pretty well with your whole theme.

I could imagine with the warp being such a weird place that a small band of marines like this was catapulted though time and space to the WIW, and to survive they became the most feared and dangerous group of both monster hunters, and guns for hire. Not wanting to affect this world's fate too much, they don't just overthrow the government and instead bide their time until hopefully their ticket home comes their way. Awesome paintjob and an awesome vessel for story telling. I'd love to see them tackle something like a Tyranid Bio-titan that got sent back just like they did.

I'm blown away, this brings my love for Warhammer, Knights and The Wild West together! Thank you for this! I really hope this pushes you beyond 1Million subscribers!

Really couldn't picture how this was going to turn out at the start but of course it came out looking awesome! ☺

I have a necromunda gang of delaques (first ed sculpts) with the cowboy hats from the big cowboys you can get in the toy aisle at Woolworths or Coles. The reason it works is because Delaque figures had overcoats that reminded me of the ones from Sergio Leone westerns. The heavies were given uniforms from the ACW artillery units. Both North and South. I later did the same for some Regiments of Renown Horse artillery. Though I did include one gun with the RHA uniform and French uniform (I think). These were from WHFB before it went stupid.

This is such a fantastic conversion; seeing all the little changes like the sculpted facial hair makes these so charming. But I think my favorite part is that despite the fact that you picked the models for their aesthetics, it's almost a perfectly legal 1000 point army! I checked the numbers! 10 Reivers: 170 points 3 thunderwolves: 90 points Dreadnought: 135 points Allied Knight Castigator: 465 points And I think that last model is UR-025, from Blackstone Fortress? You could proxy it as a leader for the Reivers. A Captain in Phobos Armor is 80 points. All total that's 940 points, which leaves just enough wiggle room to pick some enhancements!

I’ve been working on a Cow Boy chapter. I call them The LoneStar Wanderers. Been working on them for awhile. Terminators got pretty tricky

I don’t know anything about war hammer but that looks pretty sick

It always comes back to Warhammer

the knight needs a giant sombrero hahaha the Vengeful Vaqueros!!!!

now i want to see a ttrpg home game with you and other mini builders

I’m really happy to see you paint your first army ! When you said you didn’t find a space marines horse cavalry, I immediately thought of someth cool you could do, and that would be to purchase the serberys raiders from the Adeptus Mechanicus, which comes in units of three, and then use them as proxies for the thunderwolf cavalry. What’s even cooler with that, is that this unit is already kind of set in the wild imaginary west !! Seriously, they have cowboy revolvers, rifles, and even sabers, they’re only missing a cowboy hat !!! I would love to see you make that, but your wolves look awesome and are perfect as they are, as well as the others models you painted !

They stand against the Chaos, the Claim Jumpers and the Heretical Most Wanted! Seriously, great blending of genres.

Watching now, brilliant as always!

Fantastic results!

UR-205 getting some love.

Absolutely awesome video! Great job!

Amazing paint work.x

These are true art. Love watching them come to life.

The cowboy roundup team looks amazing, well done.

I think some pipes, chimneys, extra wires, cogs and antennae would have helped make them look more wild west, steampunk styled.

Incredible as always

They all looks freaking awesome!

I love the customisations - so perfect!

what a awesome project!!

The transformation of those minis into wild west motif is amazing - worked great. I love it!

Love where you were headed with this. The dark and gritty feel is fantastic.

for the sake of future conversions, most space marine kits come with sets of both helmeted and helmetless heads, so you would have the room to make hats on most types of marine.

Awesome stuff!! Well done on another great project and video.👏👏👏👏

Great job! Very enjoyable.

excellent work!

Nicely done!!

I love the idea of the dreadnoughts being these massive steam-powered machines

You made me smile all the way to the end😊

Just saw this in person looks so cool

I always enjoy seeing and watching. Beautiful piece of art 😍😍

such a cool concept, I love it!!

Fantastic! Please, continue growing the army with additional units.

I never thought of putting cowboys and space marines together, but holy hell you pulled it off amazingly. I wanna see more space marines with lever guns now

I laughed at the tape section. I don’t get to paint as often as I want but can 1000% relate to the dumb little pieces getting stuck😂😂. Classic comedy. Great video. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

It’s like a Western Gang, from a different universe came upon a cache of ancient space suits. Wreaking havoc

Awesome inspiration Boylei! Soooooo cool! This army deserves to be played with though! Thanks for your awesome videos.:)

These all look so good! One of my favorite ones is the knight cowboy with the revolver in the air drawing his sword/dagger.

Awesome work!

Man I have been following you for years and I gotta say, your painting has gotten 10/10. I love your Western Steampunk style stuff, but this could be your best work.

3:30 *Ahem*. RUBER MENTIONED, WOOOOO!

Combining some of my favorite things!!!! Love the army!!! ❤

Absolutely love this.

I love the creativity in these videos. Melding two worlds can be difficult, but you make it look easy. Happy Modeling ~ Cory

love this kitbash!! awesome setting to play warhammer!!! i would love to see more like this!

Great video, cool miniatures, amazing conversions, fantastic paintjob and the struggle with the tape... About my favourite of your videos yet. Keep them coming!!

What a wonderful gamut of basing techniques :)

Wow! Brilliant.

great stuff as always

“The founding of the Emperor’s Law Bringers, and of course their chapter master known only as the “Sheriff”, may have seen as quite the stretch. Especially when you take into account of the rumors of them being a combination of successor chapters of the Space wolves and Ultramarines. But their success in taming and keeping peace in desert worlds and rural regions is undeniable. I am glad to serve as their knight.” -Lord Knight Pilot of “Steam’s Glory”

Absolute quality work

That is one very awesome army, super cool. 👍👍👍👍

iNCREDIBLE WORK AS ALWAYS

Very cool For the hypothetical next nights/dreadnoughts I'd suggest to add chimneys for the steam and like a combustion chamber with coal on fire, and maybe you could also add some extra piping
