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

I am always trying to get better and expand my horizons with new techniques and tools, but man does it feel like work at times.

There's something very charming about those classic paint schemes on the og beakies.

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!

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!

Wow! That thumbnail looks straight out of an old citadel catalogue! Can't wait for the video

I have been catching myself more and more painting straight from the pot and... ...I like it no one can stop me it feels GOOD!

Watching somebody put those vibrant retro colours on his minis again makes me very, very happy!

That biostrip reminds me of "the stuff", but it certainly looks like it gets the job done.

Hey, I found this jar of biostrip in my friend’s room. He even already had some minis in there!

I salute you for this way of painting 🎨 😁

I love the old space marine sculpts. I can't bring myself to buy modern ones outside of the Horus Heresy line.

After 38 layers of paint I was half way to a consistent coat.

Salutations! Just absolutely lovely! I had 2 boxes of the old RTB01 Marines. Most of them still serving; 15 with the BA, 10 with the UM, 5 with the DA and (sadly) 6 with the treathcerous Mantis Warriors. I like how you walked us through your painting process. I still have the Painting Guide. (I´ve been playing since RT days). Looking fwd to the Batrep. All the best! Billi

Thanks so much Billi. Great to hear you're still fielding the RT marines - that's really cool! May you paint the galaxy with the Emperor's Light!

I must have been around 10 years old when first I saw a whole Games Workshop display cabinet full of Rogue Trader Ultramarines. They looked great, too!

soundtrack is crazy

Think I prefer the old Salamander paint scheme. Well done on subs count.👍Deserved.

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.

Spot on again well done Ed! you get the content just right. I got a bit worried when I saw how the blue was going on, but turned out the best I think 🤟👍

That salamander schme be awesome on the new mk6 for a 30k force or Dark angels.

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.

This video is what I've been looking for. Been wanting to paint retro style blood angels for a rogue trader themed heresy army. Beautiful

Been paining minis for over 40 years. I am not a bad painter and still use paint straight from the pot.

Wonderful painting Ed and you are a master with freehand. Really enjoyed this video mate and congrats again on 10K subs mate

Loved the Video Ed. Looking forward to the next battle report. Hope to see the new BA Tactical in it.

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!

@edpaintsminis

3 ай бұрын

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.

... uh wow. That's freehand? Nice work.

Wow, that took me back. I remember seeing a OG Beakie Marine in a book 1980's . Still my favorite.

Those beaked helmented Space Marines were the first I ever painted. Brings back a lot of memories. Great video, straight to the point.

Looking at those early SM one can easily see how someone thought edge highlighting everything is a good idea... now 40 years later...🤔😅 Great video, Ed. Looking forward to the new battle report :)

Love your paint jobs on those retro minis. Great stuff as always!

When I saw you put the sergeant rank on the leg @11:09 I almost screamed. Remember trying to paint the ranks on the shoulder pads? I used to do the outline using a thin lead mechanical pencil before painting it.

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!

Cheers man! Always a little nerve-racking!

the classics. nice paint job.

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... :) )

Clicked like before even starting, can't wait to finish watching this ep!!! Edit: Holy smokes, this was incredible. What a gorgeous tribute to the models and paints of yesteryear. I wasn't even born when these models came out, but I've had a soft spot for them ever since I first saw them, and the way you painted them here is just awesome. So cool!

Great job as usual and really enjoy these!

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

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.

@@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

Oh i remember that set. I bought it back then when i was 16 years old back in 1989. But i did a mess with the colors trying to follow the instructions and painting a Blood Angel. To much paint and not understanding the text really good how they wanted the layers to go.

Love it! Thank you for a wonderful video!

Great work. I still have that paint guide but none of the paints any more. I've got some Core d'Arms recently so will have a go at my old beakies. Will try the Blood Angels as per the guide!

Woohoo comment 100! Great video mate, loving the classic content, looking forward to more!

amazing nostalgic paint jobs! Im inspired!

I wish I had held on to my old space marines, I had a bunch of the old plastics and metals. :(

I've always wanted to collect a classic 40k army! I love the classic style and you definitely bring it justice! please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you forgot the space wolves; they were featured on the cover and in the book too. awesome job on the painting though, love your work and I've got nothing but respect for you.

Amazing! I adore these old minis, can't wait to see you do a whole army of each!

Those beakies look good, lovely colours and highlights. Always liked that missile launcher design, its my favourite version held by my favourite space marine variant. Whats that you say .. a retro battle report? What a treat, excited already, I'll need some dunkers, Blood Angels v Orks, I see fun on the horizon.

Gorgeous work!

Beautiful, especially that red! And the symbols - the Blood Anпel looks stunning! Salamander could use some flames, though... =\ P. S. No 'armor wash' from Coat d'armes? Or some black ink to stand it for it? I find that ink can have a more stark and interesting effect than Nuln Oil.

Totally agree on the 🔥, but I was too late! Next time I do a Salamander I'll double up to make up for it. The only C'D wash I have is Brown Wash. Trending towards an ink - absolutely amazing stuff!

Doing it straight from the pot was the only way back in the day 😂

Flat out LEGIT!!!

Great looking marines and good vid,sorry to say but after painting 200 plus armies historical and fantasy in all scales iv only ever painted straight out of the pot and found no problem.

Geez, everyone likes to rag on the Primaris Desolators for having weird-looking guns (and they absolutely do), but the OG missile launcher is also pretty crazy. Why does it have a propeller!? Great paintjobs, really looking forward to another batrep!

It's the same manufacturer, but it isn't always identical colour-wise, and isn't trying to be. Warcolours do pretty good recreations of the original line (with the darker goblin green), and I think they've done the early 2e range more people know too now.
