I love how I used your Abaddon painting guide years ago, met you in person at Warhammer Fest 2019 and now using this guide to get my troops done 😂 appreciate it, our kid

I love that shirt pat lmao

the problem i have is you end up having cut them up and tape them on, and then it still often doesn't work time Vs reward/outcome, from personal experience great for eldar, long, clean flowing soft curve lines, good for spacemarines and tau for their more boxy designs, moderate for imp guard and sisters as details begin to creep in, and then theres ok for most of the rest the other issue is most stencils are not designed to be used this way, and often the scale is totally wrong other peoples experience may vary, and good on those whose made it work

The 90s has me for the nostalgia era - I picked up my first minis just before 2nd Ed launch. However the best era is one you havent mentioned, the Forge World/Imperial Armour era (2005 > 2016). The IA books brought something that the mainstream studio was desperately missing in the form of full narrative campaigns - Badab Wars, Siege of Vraks, Anphelion Incident, Fall of Orpheus, Doom of Mymeara, whilst also bringing in new fully fleshed out chapters like the Red Scorpions, Minotaurs, Astral Claws etc and exploring 40K off the heavily beaten track..... And then they brought us the Horus Heresy.... and my bank balance has never recovered since

The old firstborn upgrade sprues make the primaris upgrade sprues look like chump change

90s was the best decade for marines. That's when I got into the hobby. I still love the old models.

A really fun discussion. I love seeing you guys' hobby hauls.

Love my broken toad brushes but unfortunately they are coming to the end of their life now and have been scouring the net trying to find their replacement and would never even considered element brushes but after watching this i will be giving them a blast

Brand new to painting, I've watched a bunch of videos but this one by far is the most useful! I'm just about to go and buy my first lot of paints and put everything I've learned here into practice... Thanks so much

I got into rouge trader in the 80's but the 90's for me because that is the decade my son was born and he got into warhammer as well in the late 90's... that being said I do like the current sculpts.... and well whats coming next...

I didn’t start painting until a few years ago, right before 9th edition. Never realized how derpy the old marines looked until now.

I haven't watched the entire episode,but I did noticed a trend. A lot of painters in their late 40's or 50's kinda avoid using a wet pallet where most of the younger miniature painters strongly recommend it. I think it's a matter of generational difference, wet pallets weren't so popular in the 80's , they learned how to paint without one ,and now they're not the biggest fans of it. Obviously I'm generalizing here, but I think wet and dry pallets are both good for different scenarios. L.E. some people place themselves on a very high pedestal (due to their experience) ,have their heads way up their arses,and are to stubborn to see the benefits on either side ,only disadvantages. My two cents.

You had me at the Space Hulk argument. It's done.

80's were the best: 30 x Space Marines = £10, 2 x Landraiders = £10, 3 x Rhinos £10

True and real

The problem now with 40k is that it has evolved from being that you play a cool character and its army to a cool army with characters in it. I remembered when you could create your own characters with so much wargear to choose from. I miss those days.

I know what else you do Ross , I'll have to see who I subscribed to first , I have a diddy print farm now , thought I would stop buying boxed miniatures from Warhammer,bandai, airfix,tamiya but nope I've actually bought kill team starter set since I had either of my printers running

I'd've well loved to join this'n 😊

I build gundam so I'm always doing a double cut ,extra clipping but it does make for a better cut

I've just bought the 41st millennium kill team starter set for just over £60 delivered next day , I was happy getting 2 units, scenery,core book, recruit edition,card tokens, play board paper , measuring devices in plastic,dice , the way I see it I got plenty extra when I could have bought 2 units £32.50 each would cost me £65

It's good having Ross on the team , having someone that is more focused on painting rather than playing

Sassy Patrick is my new favourite thing 😂

I love it when Ross says as he remembers it and almost always ends up bring wrong 😂❤️

I think the flat torso flat leg sections that you might be thinking of is the old guard units? They were around the same time period.

90s is my favorite. 00s is the best/coolest. 10s are the quality and high definition but lacks soul imo

You're a funny bunch of guys. Made me laugh several times. The worst thing to happen to GW was becoming a publicity traded company. Big corp worst corp

Oh man ....where can i get that thomas the tank t shirt

Anyone got any pictures of the first method on black legion ?

I think everything released since 2019 it's great. It's then when they really understood the digital sculpt and how to consistently make great things. Indomitus was a BANGER, and bladeguard are the quintessential space marines. Every marine should be compared against them, new and older ones

10s. If you say anything else you are too old, coping, lying, or just plain wrong. Old models suck, especially old Marines. Primaris proportions is the best thing to ever happen to Marines.

Yes those marinees existed. Was glad of them, they replaced alot of my metal ones

I think those BA terminators are some of the best minis GW has ever made. The dynamic and detail is just fantastic.

1: every chapter needs to have AT LEAST Chaplain and Librarian Dreadnoughts, in EVERY Dreadnought chassi! 2: every chapter should have dreadnought special characters! 3: some chapters should have special dreadnoughts, Salamanders Flamestorm/MeltaLacers, Ironhands Techmarine, Dark Angels Plasma flamers/Phospex weapons/ Dark Shroud /Watcher in the dark(psykic immune aura), etc...

Superb video! Interesting funny, best one yet, normally watch in background, while painting this episode i downed the tools and just watched!!

To, anyone outside the hobby , this discord and discussion might seen like gobbleygook. However, this is a typical total geek of geekdom converse , this is what we do and we love it. Yes, we know its not to be taken in a serious note, and have a laugh about our/the subject matter, we know is all in our heads ( we can never forget ) .Also, great to hear the lads have a bit of banter, and convey some passion about the models we love and perhaps not so. The converse reminds us that our opinions are subjective and on occasion very funny ( Glasgow 1,2,3.,4) .

I am just at the begining of the episode, but fun fact : rusticles are little rocks-like structures created by microbes in deep sea and made of iron oxydes and other stuff :)

90's

There was a 90s 6 plastic marine box (my favourite) that was flat topped legs etc. They were great for converting and relatively cheap at £5 a box

Puts on pedantic voice: The first Gaunt's Ghosts book came out in 1999, but the stories first appeared in Inferno magazine in 1997/1998. (I no longer have my originals to check, which is a shame as Dan Abnett signed my book 😥)

I bet blood angels death company will be just upgrade sprue, they already doing it with intercessors DC. Im not optimistic on their refresh

Unpopular opinion: the hellbrute is a downgrade from the chaos boxnaught

As a lifelong Space Wolf, I feel this. The new Ragnar was great but literally that's it.

Can't beat 1986-1995. Rogue Trader and early 2nd Edition eras.

Despite their problems, it's cute how he remembers everything about what the other guy told him about website building :D

"Which era of space marines is best? " Me: "yes"

Good video but might be worth showing the wing after you have done the last spray so the we can see for ourselves haha

This looks great. You can always clean it up by hand afterwards too. Might have to try this

I think the 90s were good for creating the lore and getting the characters we love, but the its only now they have the technology to make these characters come to life. For me its the new 2010s to present but also the 90s for creating these characters

The 5 man space marine plastic vox that your on about did exist. It was called:- space marines, warriors of the imperium. They were i think £5 a box, and there were other £5 boxes at the time. 90's is the vest era of marines for me as everything was new and fresh. And im lucky to still have a lot of it. 2nd ed all the way 😁

the box set was called imperial space marine and they were a tan color plastic, the precursor to the the tactical squad
