sweet thank you

Sunny's inablity to handle basic templates is bith funny and infuriating lol

Of the "classic" Space Marine legions I've always felt like the Salamanders are one of the less well thought through, the green has never made sense to me. Either be amphibians or be fiery, trying to be both is gonna create tension in my brain. But! I think they can look good when they look like old steam trains and well maintained almost steampunk industrial vibes with furnaces and brass and enameled green cast iron vibes.

Repeating what I said on the World Eaters video, the 40k designs have been around a lot longer than the 30k designs, and when the Salamanders were originally painted up, the 30k lore about their culture and history simply didn't exist, or at least it wasn't nearly as fleshed out. It really was just that they were space marines, but green with black pauldrons, dragon head symbols, and a preponderance for fire. A lot of the older designs look more generic because they were a more generic chapter back in the day. Even now, there's dozens--maybe even hundreds--of official chapters that remain in a state of having pretty much nothing to them besides a name, maybe a paint scheme and chapter emblem, maybe a progenitor and homeworld name, and maybe even a past campaign or two if they're especially fortunate. In a sense, the Primaris were an unwelcomed return to that genericism, as some chapters had finally gained developed backgrounds, histories, and cultures by the time 8th edition came along with the Primaris, so when the only differences between chapters was once again nothing but paint scheme, symbol, and maybe even a lore blurb and/or tactics if they're lucky, it felt jarring. The in-universe explanation is that most primaris marines had once served amongst the Unnumbered Sons/Greyshields, but it doesn't make that loss any less painful. Gabriel Seth (the chapter master of the Flesh Tearers) was absolutely right with his criticism of the primaris marines, that the ones he was sent were nothing more than red Ultramarines. [EDIT] And I forgot that I wanted to mention how Salamanders are directly associated with dragons due to them hiding in dead bonfires for warmth, and then running out when they're lit, giving the impression to pre-modern people that they were birthed by the fire.

I really really hope you will do the Custodes after the twenty legions.

@57:35 Vulkan was often remarked as being one of the most brutal and powerful of the primarchs when in battle. The ferocity he would show when engaging the enemy impressed I believe it was Dorn or Ferrus Manus and the Emperor Himself. But it was never really about him just being a killing machine. It was WHY he was so ferocious. In almost every instance, when you get to see Vulkan go all out, usually there is an innocent needing to be protected, or just as often in the grim dark future, to be avenged. So too is it in that fan-short.

My personnal solution was to leave GW. I found elsewhere everything I like about about painting and playing with miniature. Those last years I bought : - Descent 3rd édition - Tainted grail : fall of Avalon - One Page Rules (already translated in my mother tongue by fans) - Rangers of Shadowdeep - Various miniatures on different websites. If I have nostalgia for Warhammer, I play video games related to this universe. When I get tired of these games, I can resell them as second-hand to people that will be happy to have them painted when they would have paid the same price for unpainted new boxes.

I agree with Sunny on the drake skin/hide. The new design looks very soft and thin, as if taken from a softer part of the drake or taken from a juvenile drake, rather than an adult. The old design is very bumpy and thick looking, and makes it clear that whatever used to possess such hide would not be bothered by lesser weapons and attacks. So whomever managed to kill it would by extension be a very powerful warrior. The coloration as well served as a good contrast with their green armor. Having them be the same color makes sense in explaining why they went with the solid green armor but then you have green on green which doesn't work as well artistically. It also makes it look like the drakes of the new millennium are different from the drakes of the old, which if you want to tell a tale of the Salamanders having decayed since their founding, would be a good way to do it, but clashes with a legion that are supposed to be forge-masters, whom take pride in making sure their gear is well made, well designed, and well maintained.

Either 3d print or choose a different tabletop game. Its pretty simple

Mega cool!

35:00 You should contextualize from WHEN these designs are; for example that one predates all of the Neil Roberts stuff...

Finally! My own boys gez a feature! The Eighteenth! The Firedborn!

I know some blue guys who vibe very well with the Salamanders - Crimson Fists. Pedro Kantor Chapter Master and his heroism and dedication to humanity will not let you lie.

15:34 IS THAT GODZILLA?!?!? Could he solo WH40K?

It's great how if sunny knows about them the videos are longer

Unbenounced to all. Sunny has worked hard on using classic stickfigure meme faces. I am amazed and expect nothing else to top this. Also, i think having drawn avatars could be really neat (even if that's a whole lotta work)

I think you both might find the design and lore for the Empire of Old world Warhammer very interesting and could maybe make a few videos on the various states and provinces which makes up the empire

1:03:43 Such a cool idea for a chaplain helmet.

WOOOOO! I've been waiting for this one!! :D

funny timing. a codex salamander might have been announced

Fun fact in the UK Salamanders are dragons and in the US we see cute amphibians

🔥🦎🦎🔥🦎🔥🦎🔥🦎🔥🔥 This is going to be fun.

In my opinion AoS is idiotic overall.

I remember hearing how back in the days when Warhammer was kicking off that they had magazines that showed players how to make terrain from trash to save money. At this point, that sounds like a fairytale.

Pretty much my entire complaint about the hobby. GW charges too much and changes too many rules for any of it to be worth investing in. I just read the books now.

why‘s he talking in 0.75x

Currently making my first army. Chose World Eaters

Me painting my Custodes: 80/10/10 will have to do

I can understand if this is a silly fun fact video but I’m left wondering how this actually addresses why space marines are so popular today

GW is finished in the mini game. 3D printers are going to wreck them. I won’t even feel guilty buying a pirated Chinese knockoff space marine STL file after the way GW has gouged people

I think a bit of an understanding about the different armour marks on display (that are common across all the legions) would really help you guys in your design analysis because tbh, analysing the bonding studs, and the ribbing on the character are a function of the armour mark, not the rank.

Thata why u 3d print them

I spend more time playing the game than anything else thanks to tts. I like the other aspect of the hobby but playing is my favorite part.

This channel is captivating.

You guys are looking for new content to make? You could make sooooo many (short) videos jusy based off of a series on 'what does Sunny know'.

Tau cause giant mech suits that don't literally suck you to death like a slurpy sounds cool lmao

Person 1: Volcan did nothing wrong. Person 2: ok P1: I said Volcan did Nothing wrong!!! P2: yes, are you trying to say something controversial but instead just stating a fact? P1: HE DID NOTHING WRONG!!!

Yes! You guys did my favorite legion proud! VULKAN LIVES

Yeap, rule of cool!!!, got spacewolves and the few battles I've won have been so fun, glorious and unforgettable!!!

23:20 Vulcan lives! Stomp, Stomp

3:50 surprised that Sunny did not know Vulcan has a Jamaican accent & likes to give hugs & boop snoots.

Ah yeah. Analogous colours to skin tone.... blue. red. Purple. Orange..... green? Green. Definitely green and yellow. 😂😂😂😂😂
