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

The nostalgia is strong with this one! I feel a bit irate all over again at GW cancelling 'firstborn' (proper) marines for the sake of a cynical cash-grab - nostalgia sells and the ones spending money on Warhammer now are the kids of the 90s and 00s.

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

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

I started in the 2000s and that era will always hold a special place for me but the new stuff has also just been fantastic.

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

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

2000's for me, though that's probably heavily driven by nostalgia, given that's when I got into warhammer. I'm not a huge fan of the primaris aesthetic in general (especially the vehicles, which are a bit too halo and too many guns on them for me), though I agree the scale is better. One thing that wasn't mentioned about the 2000's marines was that the kit was fully compatible with the chaos space marines kit of the time as well, so you could mix and match to create renegade chapters and such as well (notably for a bit they sold the Space Wolves wulfen kit - which was a metal kit where they wore bits of both space marine and chaos space marine armour). One thing that jumps out at me from the discussion is the new terminators being "primarisifed" - but they haven't really, they are just the previous ones rescaled, I always thought Gravis armour was the attempt to make Primaris terminators, maybe that didn't work out for them.

We found the box he was talking about, it’s called ‘Heroes of the Imperium’ it was a multipart that came out before the Jes Goodwin 3rd edition (mark VIII) Marines

Late 90s/ early naughties. We’ll get to a point in 10 years where the 1st gen space marines will be worth allot I reckon

The bikers definitely had flat waists.

Be interested to see where the metal Death Company and Space Wolves fit - I think they were 90s….

Imagine if presidential debates were this civil. Also, how did the ep not get titled as "Symbollocks" :D

The 00's had more charm, but the quality of the recent sculpts is amazing

Plastic metal combi is where it was at for me bike squadron metal scouts devastator n ol metalic taci squad but not the misile launcher haha

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

I'm gundam mad I have approx 65 now, currently building mgsd barbatos, I think I'm only missing one or 2 variants of the barbatos

It's before my time but 00s I'm not a fan of the primaris armour, just it's shape's look off to me. But worst is the gravis, god I think gravis looks awful. First born needed improvement don't get me wrong. But theirs few recent marine releases that look good. Bladguard and sternguard are solid mind, the dark angel's characters where good. Personally firstborn and 30k is where it's at

00's wins overall imo.

Don't worry Patrick I didn't exactly grow up with a silver spoon in my mouth I had to do paper rounds and car washing, gardening to get my Warhammer in my teens

Whilst this is the best era for models in terms of quality, I cant say I enjoy buying new models because theres so much less customisation in them. I want a cool character with such and such weapon that is in another kit and I want to jam them together in a frankenstein fashion. Now its just a monopose character with a bolt/plasma pistol and a sword/chainsword. It's just not the same. With the price rises too I feel ripped off knowing I can do less with my money and time than I used to

00's for me, but I have a soft spot for 90's so I choose them both. Primaris... they're actually nice minis (and finally well proportioned) but what I don't like is that the aesthetic went from Space Knights to Space American Football Players/Space modern military special forces. There are a few exceptions (i.e. BT swordbrethren) but 00/90's flavour is mostly gone

I think they made the primaris a little bit to small when they beefed them up, then they could have scaled up the rest to Primaris scale and beef the primaris even more so us elderly has a chance to paint all factions nice and proper :)

I was a 90s hobbyist before a long break but my choice is the 2010s onwards 🤠👍

Agree that the issue with Primaris was the lore change, if they just rescaled them, sure a few people would have been annoyed, but overall most would have been fine with it. Primaris lore is stupid, but I love the models, hate the anti grav though. 00s is my favourite. Multi part multi pose minis, still in the affordable range, and before the company went full corporate, shareholder first customer second.

100% the 00s. Honestly I know we're just discussing models, but the hamfisted primaris lore just killed my desire to enjoy primaris minis. Could have just released new Space Marine models and I could have slowly replaced smaller models with newer ones like every other refresh.
