The longer I stare at that Ultramarine the more I'm convinced he's just a cartoon character deadpanning at the audience after something heavy fell on his head. Also, to me the Lamenter looks to be keeping the skull has a reminder of why they fight, but the idea that he uses the skull of a brother for advice and orders is a fun idea. Lovey job on all three by the way.

"Very space, much marine" I just about spit out my beer I was drinking! A vintage meme for vintage miniatures. Exceptional video; gorgeous minis, wonderful and achievable paintjobs, and a lovely trip down memory lane. What more could one ask for? And the fact that you gave such an obscure Chapter as the Knights of Eternity a bit of love is truly commendable, their sacrifice was not in vain.

Lamenters are my favorite. I relate to the said boi chapter. I can’t get enough of them. I really like your channel. Have been painting orks and watching for a while now

How have I only just found this channel??? Retro painting is my favourite KZread content. Your painting videos and battle reports are just beautifully made! I subscribed after watching this video then binge watched the rest of the videos over two days! Brilliant content

Awesome! The Knight of Eternity in particular looks really cool, you don't really see much of those guys

Thanks! Yeah it's a brilliant scheme!

I really like how you link the devestator marine’s basing in with his squad designation. Often bolter marines don’t feel like they fit a devestator squad vibe - but by creating the impression he has been stood firing in one place for quite some time you overcame that.

Lamenter Spotted, LET’S GOOOO

I appreciate these videos, and also how you bring in the background details of what you are painting. Mentioning the bold move to board a hive ship with scouts is an awesome one

I also love that Mk8 sculpt. Also the one with a mace

Good work. Also, I would love to see a future video about the Scythes of the Emperor.

For those we cherish!

That is exactly how I paint my Lamenters I wouldn't paint yellow without contrast anymore. Brilliant paint job.

3 great looking Marines! Really enjoyed the background and fluff that went with each one, would love to see more like this. (The goblin green base just looks correct….)

The way you describe every marine’s pose makes me think of the love and care

Beautifully painted! Can't wait for the battle report. (Also i know its stock music, but its so funny hearing the Arbitorian "theme music" out of context on another warhammer channel!)

Thanks very much! I wonder if it has something to do with the smaller scale of the mini - might not translate on a larger (primaris) marine.

Beautiful paintjobs on these miniatures, Was a joy to watch. Got a nice wave of nostalgia looking at these older models and remembering my own from back then. You've inspired me to go to my desk and do some painting.

I love seeing these retro paint schemes.

The lamenters are the Waspinator of the 40k Universe, the universe straight up hates the lamenters

Hey just wanted to reach out and say I love your channel. It really captures the zeitgeist of what I experienced as a kid discovering Warhammer. My foray into it started with stumbling into the GW store at the mall with a massive poster of the 3rd edition 40k art. Your videos have such a nostalgic and evocative quality to them that perfectly relay the magic of that era of Warhammer. Keep on good sir!

Wish I could paint my models this well

I had never before noticed that some of the old sculpts had stocks on the bolters. Like some sort of practical firearm that could actually be shouldered and aimed properly. I mean honestly, what kind of beakie doesn't have a bolter that can only be fired from the hip like an 80's action hero?

@edpaintsminis

Heck yeah! There was no real way of modelling a marine with the stock still attached though, as the pauldron would get in the way. I shortened the stock in this video and just about got it to fit.

Is anyone else reminded of Wilfrid from the Bash Street Kids when they see this era of MkVIII power armour? And did anyone else go "that's the Arbitor Ian tune!" at the appropriate moment? 🙂

Epic vid!

Love the Lamenter, great model and paint job!

This video is cool because I just painted a beaky tactical marine lamenter yesterday!

Super cool Videos epic voice for the Videos! Because of you i will start with a friend our retro jurney 🎉 keep it up sir 🤩

I love Mark 8 Marine armor. They should’ve just made primaris marines a new wave of mark 8 armored marines instead.

Excellent work! The figures look great. Thanks for sharing this.

As always, fantastic video.

A beautiful video. Your videos really hit that nostalgia part of my brain and the music is just *chefs kiss* perfect.

Amazing videos, keep them coming!

Really great channel, gotta love your painting session and battle reports, lots of great ideas and advice I put to use on some space crusade minis! :) Would you mind telling us which track was used while painting the ultramarine? I really liked it Cheers!

The yellow-over-pink is actually to do with CMYK colour theory - the pink you're using is better thought of as magenta, and in CMYK when you mix magenta and yellow you get orange. So, yellow over pink gives smooth orange-y shadows. Dana Howl has a video about it, really blew my mind and opened up a lot of new ideas for mini painting!

Dude, love your content. Stick on your vids when I paint to keep the mood chill.

Thanks mate! 😊

Fantastic. Would love to understand better the placement of the highlights beyond just the edges. Obvious to you but magic to the rest of us mere mortals

"just a shame about the base" ... good sir, i must insist you take that back! Goblin green is correct!

The idea of the pink undercoat is that red+yellow is orange, and pink+yellow is light orange. And dark yellow is mustardy or greeny if you don't push it orange, so a light orange looks like a dark warm yellow. You essentially get the cassandora yellow wash (which is actually a light orange) in the recesses for free

You reached for the goblin green because you knew it was superior to any gritty base you would otherwise make

I never heard of Knights of Eternity. They should be reborn as Primaris Chapter

WOOOOOOOOOO

Maybe if you do a nid version you could have the remains of a Scythes of the Emperor marine as a basing detail of a warrior?

Love the paint job would love to see you paint more obscure chapters

I was trying really hard not to do the “uh, actually that’s not a clip” Comment… But that’s not a clip, it’s a magazine. (The difference being a clip is a thin piece of metal that holds several rounds of ammunition together to be inserted into a weapons internal magazine. A magazine is an enclosed “box” containing a spring, which can be internal or detachable - as is the case with the bolt gun, that houses a number of rounds of ammunition that are fed directly into the chamber of the weapon.) also the “casing” of the Bolt gun would be the “receiver” There, OCD is appeased. I’ll be able to sleep tonight. I’d love to see your take on an Aurora chapter marine in the future!
