Hi everyone! This post comes with an exciting announcement for you all. Here in Minisodes HQ I have been quietly plotting to dedicate more time and energy into the channel, giving you more Minisodes and finding more ways to share with you my love of the golden age of Warhammer. As of today, for the cost of a White Dwarf magazine circa 1997, you can access my new Patreon. I already have a podcast up for your listening pleasure, in which I (amongst other things) give you the inside scoop on the channel, future plans and a commentary on one of my favourite bits of 40k short fiction. This Patreon is very much inspired by this wonderful community and I can't wait to start engaging with patrons and hearing all about what you'd love to see from the channel (as well as having a good chinwag about all things 2nd Edition). Hope to see you over there. www.patreon.com/Minisodes

When painting was just a matter of fun and not a mad quest for the most-super-hyper-extra realistic effect

Hey - with the old yellowed transfers, if you tape them onto the inside of a window for a few days in the sun, the yellowing gets bleached out and they go white again. If the backing paper doesn't soak up water well (due to age), rub some sand paper on the back and roughen it and then it will soak up properly. Great video!

@edpaintsminis 2 ай бұрын

Yes! I've heard of the UV treatment before but didn't know about the sandpaper trick. I'll keep this in mind as I have quite a few ancient transfer sheets. Cheers!

Gert lush. Love those old beaky bois. I have a few Coat d'arms paints, and I find them to be a useful tool in the toolbox. As with all brands, some colours cover better than others, but as I'm of a similar vintage to yourself, multiple coats is completely normal to me. And yes, I do also use them straight from the pot.

I too have the old Brother Hamilton mini! I painted him very similar to the Blood Angel you painted here, though mine is an Exorcist, painted in the 3rd edition bright red scheme, as opposed to the modern brick red colour, or the Rogue Trader yellow, black and blue. Although I have a plan of painting my scouts in the Rogue Trader colours.

I got into the hobby around 3rd edition, but inherited this painting guide from my brother despite him having no memory of buying it or even getting into Warhammer seriously. Pre internet it felt like a relic (though it was probably only 10 or 12 years old at the time). Would love to see you attempt the Space Wolf scheme!

The Space Marine Painting Guide was a formative piece for me too, I still refer to it on occasion! My memory of my pot of Salamander Black is that, well, it was just black. It was maybe supposed to be a slightly green black while Chaos Black was a slightly blue black but I don't recall ever being able to tell the difference myself!

I think you're right! It was a long time ago but it was probably black. So interesting that Salamanders had a darker scheme back in the day.

I had the space marine paint kit back in the day.... since first day I was suprprised how off few colours were: for instance, blood angels red was mainly a dark orange and salamanders green was a regular forest dark green... however 3 colors where truly good and matching the schemes: spacewolf grey-white, ultramarine blue and boltgun metal recently I came back to the hobby and I must say still have some of those paints working and in use (so, not so bad quality apparently... :) )

@Gogsnik 2 ай бұрын

I used this guide and the original paints but on the modern Horus Heresy beakies and I have to say, Salamanders Black, is the nicest black paint I have ever used, smooth and velvety and a real joy to work with. Based on the guide, I don't think you went wrong not using a terracotta equivalent for the Blood Angel, it's a very dark brown and, follwing the letter of the guide exactly, it doesn't produce the bright orange red marine shown, although my own attempt did look good and I really liked it, but he wasn't orange!!

@edpaintsminis 2 ай бұрын

Thank you! Truth is, I couldn't find an equivalent for the terracotta that I was happy with, so stuck with Blood Red. Amazing to hear that your set is still going strong and giving you cool results on heresy stuff. Hope to get my hands on some originals one day.

@Gogsnik 2 ай бұрын

@@edpaintsminisAll those old paints last really well (apart from one of the metallics which basically rotted/rusted in the pot and was notorious for doing so, mine hadn't ever even been opened and it was still useless!) although to be fair, I've recently been buying some of the old screw and flip top bolter shell style pots that GW made and even though all the paints are dry, I've been able to save them; not a swift process but it's doable. So if you do get some of the old paints and they aren't the best, they can be salvaged, to me, it's been like collecting old minis, all part of the hobby :D
