Or just play with your buddies who don't care what models you use :)

I'm the same! 2nd hand/bitz sellers for guilt-free conversions.

😅 1:22

Did you paint these bravely? The question we must all ask ourselves

Well, I am not a GW pro guy, but this miniature design from conquest is so ugly. No thanks!

0:28 - In this case "cheap" means actual market value.

@eBayMiniatureRescues where did you get the wall mounted display cases shown in the beginning of the video? Those look great!

I also love 15mm scale!

The power is in our hands, play the old rules, switch games or whatever. GW will continue their current strategy if we accept their behaviour .

Awesome work, can anyone supply the dimensions of that case. Uk based and apparently hobby lobby don’t like anyone outside the us from visiting their store

I like a lot of the OPR models specifically the Saurian Starhost but their Ratmen don't do it for me, they are fine but a little cartoonish for my tastes.

Always good to see another Casey video.

I was so happy to see this project. Actual metal gaming miniatures! Actual Warhammer miniatures...not Warhammer: 40,000! Have I died and gone to heaven? Then I saw those round bases and a little bit of my soul died. 🤣 Love ya anyway. 😘

Someone cut the tabs off metal models???

Love Skaven, they're just too much fun. Nice rescue.

Did you notice any cracking of the Speedpaints since you used a white ink for your zenithal?

Damn I didn’t expect to feel emotions today

I am not pro-GW, because I remember when they were awesome, and they've not been for around 15-20 years. That being said, I don't understand the anger over discontinuing armies and models. They sold you a complete product, and its one you can still play. I'm still playing 5th edition 40k, because I prefer it, and I have no problem getting games. You still own and can use the models. And they've done this for years. There are countless examples of units and armies full of units that were "retired" dating back to the 80's. Maybe I've just immune to the GW disappointment after years of it, but I'm still perplexed.

"Killing off a bunch of armies, not supporting them and removing them from the game." I can't think of anything more mis-informing than this statement lol. Quote from the article...." we will continue to support this content with rules and balance updates as needed throughout the edition" Cmon dude. I normally love your videos but this one needs some fact checking my guy.

More old world factions please!

This has already been mentioned a couple of times below, and I don't mean to belabor the point. But... gloves are good. A good rule of thumb is that if you are using a respirator, you should likely also be using gloves. Love the rats and the channel. 👍 yor MD,PhD

I don’t know… I just wouldn’t play along with the press release language conflating the different things that are happening. Some old sculpts are being renewed with updated sculpts. Some of those are almost as old as I am, some of them are pretty new. That’s fine. They’re new takes on concepts and units and it’s a complete non issue (and always has been) to just keep using the old models. The incentive to buy is that they’ll look new and cool. That’s fair. That’s also something that literally no one is too upset about. But then they’re also returning units and whole armies from the game alongside their models. It’s hardly unprecedented to have units dropped, but it’s relatively rare, and removing whole armies is an extraordinary thing to do. Doing so to armies that were only introduced 6 years ago is crazy and inexcusable. And there’s very little silver lining. Some of the Stormcast can, if you squint, be proxied as units that are still around, but some hardly can (RIP ballista). Beasts of Chaos are just gone. I guess you’re going to have to use S2D rules ? CoS? That’s a whole other thing than just having your existing army consist of outdated minis with fewer details and less dynamic poses. There are still Liberators in the game. They’re called liberators, they look like liberators and have the same weapons as liberators. That’s not the case with Ungors or even the Evocators that were sold to new players in the starter set just three years ago. I sympathize with you trying to stay positive, but we don’t have to give hope where there is none. We know roughly what’s getting renewed with fresh models, and we know what’s been cut completely from the game. There’s no need to pretend we know less than we do. These are different things, and best thought of as separate things. They were announced at the same time. Presumably with the intention of conflating them. Heck, I’d start wondering about the future of models and units not in the massive culling article on warhammer community. Apparently the dreadblade harrows are a cavalry unit of two now, instead of a hero two-pack. Where does that leave the old hexwraiths cavalry unit that’s still a hold over from WFB. Probably gone by the time the battletome drops. Who’s willing to bet against CoS losing all elves and dwarves when that battletome comes around? My guess is that GW figures they got away with the End Times, and now they are trying to make it a regular occurrence.

The miniature is why historical is so cost-effective. In most cases with infantry, cavalry and artillery, all that tends to change is basing. A unit remains viable even when changing rule systems. Also, with the addition of games like Weird War 2, some other elements can be added to your historical units.

If ever I played Skaven (and I do like them a bit)? I'd be all about the Rat Ogors, because those things look mean! Usually, I only use acetone to melt glue bonds on metal models, because I've never had luck using acetone to strip paint with in the past. I'll have to try it again some time.

I personally killed off GW, I have three or four years of Grey to Slay I will no longer buy from GW… I plan on buying a 3D scanner and Printer I now use One page rules with chapter/faction add-on’s I cancelled plus and will no longer support Greedy Workshop. They played them selves… my $4,000-$10,000 hobby budget now goes elsewhere congrads you dumd bastards…

What were you putting over the bronze? I can't catch the word.

Use Dettol to strip metal minis, not acetone. Not anywhere near as toxic.

Don't you mean RATired warhammer army? Hahahaaaa.

Sweet video, thanks for the heads up and shame my stormcast will never reach a table but then I just paint lol though I came joint 14th in my first kill team tournament this weekend so maybe who knows lol

Another amazing video Casey ❤🔥

I’m not sure what market you go looking for used pieces;but I keep finding them going for about the same price as new ones

Wear gloves bro

Nice!!

I'll use my staby staby rats for Mordhiem.

Hey, hope you don't mind me asking, but what do you do when paint just won't come off a mini? I've had a Goblin Spider Rider I found at a yard sale and really want to get painted up, in a jar of acetone for WEEKS, I keep taking it out and working at it with a toothbrush and a wooden toothpick, but I just can't get the gummy old paint out of all of the tiny details.

I got the old Stormcast Ballista given to me for free for me to use as artillery in any army for Hobgoblin, but also, will be using them as generic fantasy terrain as well!

So happy to see OPR's Ratmen getting love.

Huzzah

What was the printed model of the rad riding the armored fox?

Love that you're wearing a mask when working with the acetone, but no gloves. 😂😂 But honestly, I have no room to talk. I come from the era of mini painting when all figures were made of lead and we just sanded off mold lines with our maskless faces 2 inches from the mini and not a care in the world... 😂🤣😂

isn't gw just not gonna make those old models anymore? how far i know everything will get legends rules and howlong you don't only play tournament i wouldn't see why peeps would stop using them just because of a legends tag ^^ im planning on buying very old orks to see if i can make the ork commando team with them ^^ and i keep buying 2nd ed termagants as i adore them and love a variation in my swarm ^^

Personally, I already sold any non Blood Angels specifics Firstborn Marines units I owned a few ago to continue to replace them with Primaris. Anyway, at this state, I also try to push a little more people to play miniature agnostic games, so any miniature that kind of represent what you want to play can do the ork. Not important if your Orks are 1st editions or last edition for OPR for exemple. I have a small force of Ratmen from OPR I use to play Mordheim with some players, and other kind of dark gods warriors to play The Old World (I would prefer Age of Fantasy regimental, but still easier to push people to go back to "Warhammer Battle" for now)

WOOOWWWWW

I don't play gw, so I had no idea they killed off minis. I get wotc banning single cards. But banning miniatures that you spend nontrivial amounts of money on and then spend hours painting? That's just disrespectful to the customer base.

Thanks, Casey, for the video. I have been struggling with painting models for fun and using them for other games. This video really helped me through the imposter syndrome and realized I could paint what I wanted for whatever I wanted. Keep it up.

I'm fully bought in with the Orc Marauders but the Ratmen Clans do look great!

More Warhammer fantasy please!

so Retired just means "Not Usable at GW Tournaments" ......so when we are all playing casually with frands the old metol' models still gewd!

"Having options just in case GW decides to screw us over... more." Truer words were never spoken on this channel.

Skaven! These are among my favourite factions in WH, while I also like ratmen and wererats in general throughout fiction. I've never really been affected by GW's decisions on what I'm allowed to use, beyond that they make it so difficult to get certain models. That's why I'm all about kitbashing and converting my own custom versions of the expensive minis. I have some older and more recent plastic Skaven, which I'm mixing with Mantic's Veer-myn and Ratkin, trying to make an army that looks somewhat cohesive. Even if I don't get to play with the army I'm working on, my dream is to make a diorama similar to the Vermintide II trailer. ^^
