He obviously couldn't hear them when they explained all this. So he just nodded along, pretending to have understood what he was signing up for. "Informed Consent" is a poorly respected concept in the Imperium at the best of times. Especially when you're a brainwashed child soldier hyped up on combat drugs.

Brother Tinnitus is my new favourite Space Marine character! Oh, the Whirlwind is cool too.

Such a classic look for Marines. I really loved how 2nd ed Marine tanks like the WW and Razorback had exposed gunners in their turrets. Personally, I think 40k works best when it’s not so realistic or modern in its tech. And to me it sold the notion that Marines feel so secure in their power armour that they’re willing to use it as their main personal defense even when manning combat vehicles.

The Landraider was the first vehicle kit GW made. For a while, all other factions also rode around in Landraiders, even types like Harlequins! The Rhino followed soon after, and there were guides and templates for building Whirlwinds and other variants in WD. Only 2nd saw dedicated kits like these. I love the tlc put into it; not to diminish the efforts of the previous owner, but you really made it shine, dreadnought smokelauncher and all! 😎👍

God I always remember the balancing on this thing being a PITA because the metal whirlwind turret was heavy enough that even a slight incline would cause the plastic tank hull to start tilting backwards and then the turret falling off thanks to be being placed right at the back of the tank (I never glued mine on since 'at the time' you could swap in the old metal razorback turret as well because apart from the turrets, the rest of the parts were the same IIRC, this was a long time ago so my memory may not be as good).

Lead fishing weights were my go to for fixing these problems as a child. Glued them inside vehicles or to the underside of bases to add stability, plus the extra weightiness felt nice.

My first vehicle kit was the MKIII Land Raider. My mother saw how my Ultramarines were always obliterated by my friends Leman Russ and she asked me: "Dont you have any big tanks for your army?". So I showed her the Land Raider and she just bought me one. Its badly painted, but I am still using him today after 23 years.

Looking on the plus side for Brother Tinnitus, he's probably immune to Noise Marine weapons now. It's an excellent Whirlwind as I said on the photos, and it's great to hear your history with the model as well. My first ever vehicle was the original Predator but honestly I was too young to really appreciate it - my first 'proper' vehicle as a 40k player was the Land Speeder that came in the 3rd edition box. Even though I don't play loyalist marines anymore I still felt a pang when its retirement was announced, although it was probably a good move from the Land Speeder's point of view, I'd been idly thinking about converting up an Emperor's Children Land Speeder, but didn't think to get one until the news came and they'd all sold out already.

As a true Apostle Matthew, you have brought love & light to this Whirlwind! For brother Tinnitus you are a "Gift of God!" If i were a Space Marine Matthew i would like the fire support from the Whirlwind, raining down a holy fire of vengeance upon the enemy. However i would not want to be accompanied to closely by any armour, as i prefer speed & stealth; I want to get up close to my enemies so i can open them up and bath my holy armour with their blood! Ripping the very heresy out of them and watching the light in their eyes go out is more my thing. If i were a brother of Tinnitus, i would write things down in my spare time for him to read, no brother of mine would live in a world devoid of the verbal glory of the legion. Thank you Matthew for another enjoyable video of nostalgia. Brother Matthew! I like the sound of that, it has a certain ring to it. Perhaps one day brother Matthew we will carve our way through an enemies lines with brother Tinnitus, bringing vengeance and glory through a hail of holy Bolter fire and a screaming screech of Chainswords. But until such times i have dishes to wash & rubbish to put in the bin.😁
