Hiya. Russ from Ian's Tale of Four Gamer's videos here. I am just about to post my second 5th edition fantasy battle report later today, and the next one will feature my Executioners against Orks in a 9th edition 40k battle report. I have a LOT of Secessionist marines, so I am hoping to persuade Ian to do some Badab battle reports at some point. He can teach me how to do the visuals better!

​@Grymbaldknight yeah as a man with a firstborn marines malevolent army I was able to give them a lot of character

Wow okay you kinda changed my perspective here. I am fairly new to the hobby and so far I have mostly painted single models very...very slowly :D The painting techniques you are describing seem and look very simple to do, yet your army looks absolutely phenomenal. It really shows how a great paint scheme, awesome choice of models, clever kitbashing, and smart use of painting styles and paint properties can yield outstanding results very quickly. This is very inspiring!

Yeah when you look online a lot of the stuff tends to be painted for close up camera shots. That's also the stuff that gets upvoted and so on. But IRL fully painted beats half painted any day and a good colour scheme does a lot of work from tabletop distance.

I'm just getting back into the hobby after about 30 years, and it's really, really daunting watching expert painter level videos where people show all the complex, finnicky techniques they've used in a mini, but present them as straightforward and the sort of thing everyone knows how to do. I like Ian's take on painting- keep it simple, stupid! I'm particularly fond of the "wash, then remove wash" approach as a way of avoiding having to attempt edge highlights, as I don't have much confidence or a particularly steady hand. Going to combine that with Pete the wargamer's vid on speedpainting cadians, where he just undercoats everything in grey, dry brushes, and then just adds a bit of detail in black or red. Hopefully will end up with something that looks cool (at a distance) but doesn't stress me out!

Very nice work! Love seeing all the converting and kitbashing to make the models more unique!

God I love that Guilliman conversion, fantastic work dude!

My first space marine army was MArines Errant back in 1989! Great to see your fantastic interpretation!

LOVE this. I'm just starting a similar 'use up some bits' project. I've been working on several different chaos warbands (one for each god, so far) based on lesser known 'The Judged' chapters from the abyssal crusade, and have a pile of firstborn imperial stuff left over that I've decided to turn into a small Vorpal Swords army (the only chapter that survived the crusade). Same theory - build to the parts I have and the theme, not too worried about tactical value. Keep up the great work, man.

Yeah, it's great fun to do and very satisfying, emptying out the bits boxes and making... ANYTHING out of them!

Lovely army, especially the HQ’s and tanks.

Awesome work! Absolutely love the Guilliman conversion. And tbh I like how battered the tanks look - other people spend ages trying to sculpt those kind of scars :)

Great work. I particularly love the focus on using up old parts, that is basically my rationale behind my Heresy Dark Angels! Subbed.

Great seeing one of the more obscure Space Marine chapters get some attention, as well as the inventive conversions improvised from leftover bits that still fit the theme of the army. I'm already starting to love your channel.

I love your commitment to paint entire armies in 1 big batch

This is amazing. I love the theme and conversion is so perfect.

That's a great looking force with some wonderful conversions. Those old school Rhinos and Predators take me right back to my childhood too. This screams Crusade play.

I always come back to this video of a reminder and army could literally be made from spare bits sometimes

Awesome batch painting of epic proportions! Very efficient use of colours that look good at a distance 👌

Cool project idea. I did something similar and ended up with an olde-timey Blood Angels army. It was great fun.

Love this as a series, can't wait for more. Thanks!

This army is a thing of beauty. Firstborn forever.

I think they look beautiful. Nice job, inspiring.

Man, I love seeing finished armies. Great job!

Well done on this army, Arbitor. Your choice for the Badab War is perfect. I'm gathering a Minotaurs army now. This is just the coolest. 👍

Just got into Badab stuff because of this channel! Really see the seeds of HH right here. If there can be a good show about any narrative it should be the Badab War.

Had to go and look Adolforc , what a bizarre product , and why a bust of all things ? So many questions haha The army looks awesome though , seeing other peoples “quick and dirty” armies really enthuses me to keep going even with projects I loose drive with . Top work as per !

Truly inspiring stuff! Thanks a lot for sharing!

Nice vid mate, a really enjoyable format

Very nice looking army. Love that you have used the old tanks! :-)

Lol 3:59 the combat armor nipples! Love em. I also like how your batch speed painted models look better individually than when I've spend a whole night on just 1 model.

I think that you should make more . I love these!

Stunning army! I like the old rhinos a lot.

Your captain conversion looks badass! Very different from the original, much more dynamic looking. The Roboute conversion is also great.

Please show more of these Ian! (Unless of course they're all in storage while you're out of your house atm!😅)

Great video and lovely army!

I love armies like this, just really personal with a great theme. I'm really digging the idea of just getting the models bashed out on the table in a quick and effective scheme. This army looks brilliant! I spend way too long on each figure and from 3 feet away it's just wasted time.

They look excellent. I'm not usually a fan of the two tone schemes but u have done a really good job there. 👍

I absolutely love this army

That’s really cool I’m doing the same with my blood angels just emptying the bitz box the stuff you find that you didn’t realise you had 😅🤣

Great video, thanks for sharing.

A fine looking army, and quality conversions to boot. You make the Marines Errant proud. It's a shame the chapter had much of its geneseed nicked by the Red Corsairs during the Night Lords novel trilogy. Potentially condemning the Marines Errant to a slow death. Assuming they don't get an infusion of fresh geneseed, probably from the Ultramarines and big daddy Guillaman. Or else go on a big mission to reclaim what was stolen. That, in itself, could make for a great campaign. A grudge match between the Marines Errant and the Red Corsairs, for the preservation of the chapter and to settle old scores.

Very cool army and nice paint job

Looks great!

Yes, Ian, but when are we getting the rest of your Badab armies?

love this! Maybe you can start doing armies from your play groups too! cant wait to see more

Well that would certainly be a good way to generate more content *eyes Russ' Lamenters army*

Honestly I just really like a nice, basic paint job. The company veterans look great. I love the storm shields. Marvelous table-ready paint job. And the kitbashing bits were great as well.

I'd love to see more badab chapters, please make the space sharks, KZreadr Majorkill has a great model for Tyberous on his website which is more lore accurate than his official forge world model, great job on this!

I'd love to see someone do a RT era Death Eagles army. Gotta love the white halved with pink!

I'd love to play a game along your Marines Errant with my Minotaurs against a big force of Lugft Hurons Astral Claws! Maybe sprinkle some Lamenters in with the Astral Claws to represent them arriving midfight and joining the wrong forces xD

This makes me long for 2nd & 3rd edition w40k battle reports.

cool army!

I took all the marines I had in my bits box, assembled about 90-man strong army from them (including 15 Assault on Black Reach terminators and 13 Space Marine bikers because why not), primed them with rattlecan, then zenitaled with rattlecan and gave them a coat of yellow with an airbrush, coat of gloss varnish and an enamel wash. Strange, I thought, as they didn't look as good as the test squad I made earlier. Then I started giving them other colours and found out that the models were hydrophobic. With thick layers I could make the paint stay on, but they would chip away really easily. Only when I started painting a librarian that only had the rattlecan did I realised it was because of the zenital rattlecan because only the white parts hated water and paint. Now I don't know what to do with the...

nice, you should do some conversion videos

Love the video you put out, finally a channel that scratches my 40k interest. Love the lore videos and your calm voice and way of explaining things even makes your paint explanations interesting. Sorry for the maybe stupid question, I´m a complete 40k noob, but why is the tech marine almost completely red color and not the same silver-blue scheme of the army?

Not to be that guy, but - isn’t the color scheme “halved” and not “quartered”? Also, your Librarian is one of the two generic Epistolary librarians from 2nd Ed - Tigurius had his own model and afaik the generic librarians were never sold as named characters. Nitpicks aside, beautiful army!! How are those bases? None of your shots really show them direct on, and I’ve heard the detailing is a bit “soft” compared to the Mechanicus or Necromunda base ranges.
