Warhammer 40,000 but as a 90's Saturday Morning TV show...

Welcome back to Armageddon commander! This week, we played some games of ‘Battle for Armageddon’, a strategic board and counter game designed by Jervis Johnson in 1992. This game is genuinely EPIC in scope, allowing two players to take control of millions of soldiers and war machines across the embattled hive world of Armageddon. A strong nostalgia hit!
I also painted up Ghaghkull Mag Uruk Thraka himself, the scourge of the Imperium and prophet of da Waaagh! for / legionnaire_minis .

Nothing hits me harder than second edition era content, especially when it's done this well!! The editing in this is absolutely different class!! Big fan of your work sir!! 👍❤️

[@edpaintsminis]

Thanks so much! More on the way!

[@stephenwood6663]

The old Armageddon boardgame is so much fun! During the 3rd Armageddon War global campaign, GW released the bits for it for free to print off yourself, which is where my copy comes from. Last time I played was last year against my brother - I, playing the Orks, had stormed Infernus and Helsreach, and my Evil Sunz boyz were closing in on Hades. Fortunately for him, this was just when the Space Marines arrived: he landed all three Chapters in Hades, making it almost unassailable to me: 21 defence-points worth of troops, who'd never retreat, thanks to Yarrick! Rather than press the assault, I consolidated my siege lines, while simultaneously launching assaults against Acheron and Tartarus - both these attacks were a bit risky, as I only had a few vanguard units in these areas, but the Imperial defences were also much flimsier than those at Hades. Acheron fell, bringing me to the critical level of three fallen Hives: enough to win a victory for the Orks!

[@edpaintsminis]

Glorious! I've only had a few games, but it is fantastic fun and really well designed. The first game was a spectacular imperial victory, with the space marines drop assaulting right into the Ork starting position and cutting their supply lines completely. The second was a real nail biter, but James had learned his lesson and crushed the imperials, aided by a merciless speed waargh that roved around the wastes trashing my factories...

[@IamRidiculous89]

Man I still love trap door, watched it as a kid and 25 years later I still love it!

[@edpaintsminis]

Haha! It's just glorious. Kids' TV from the 70s and 80s was so absurd and creative.

[@kostas225cmp]

What a fantastic video. It's obvious that the 90s nostalgia hit you hard while you were playing and painting.

[@edpaintsminis]

Thanks so much!

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

Another triumph Ed. Outstanding. I love the channel flicking too. Huzzah.

[@lucasfriedman3418]

You're my favorite hobby channel at the moment. Every video ups the ante on production and creativity. Hope you get the recognition you deserve.

[@edpaintsminis]

Thank you so much Lucas. My aim is to keep making each better than the last - that's the intent at least.

[@andrewharper1609]

I found my old 2nd Ed Gazghull & Makari models last year while clearing out my parents garage. I remember they cost me the princely sum of £6 for the blister and I think it was the first thing I bought after GW switched from lead to white metal. Technically they're the best painted models in my old horde.

[@edpaintsminis]

Such a lovely model too! Tempted to purchase another for my own growing Ork horde.

[@jubbmcdiesel8639]

Hell yeah, these old commercials hit like a truck. Any plans on future battle reports or other 2nd edition armies? I can't get enough of this stuff. Great work as always!

[@edpaintsminis]

Oh absolutely! Next one will almost certainly be Tyranids Vs marines.

[@wurzella1]

You and olden demon are my 2 favourite channels. I'd forgotten just how much I loved the game back in the glory days of 2nd, current 40k doesn't compare. Great to see a bit of Berk too 😁

[@cornerwizard]

Loved it! Those old ads caught me off guard though.

[@sulun1658]

This channel has been the highlight of hobby/warhammer KZbin for the past few months, and is also a nice break from the absolute overload of 10th edition content currently coming out

[@edpaintsminis]

Ah this is glorious Sulun! Thank you so much . Glad to be offering something a little off the beaten path on the KZbins.

[@DaveScurlock]

This is exactly the channel I’ve been looking for - 90era nostalgia with top quality composition and editing

[@sep3189]

DA BIGG BOSS IS 'ERE!!! WAAAAGH!!!! Lovely video. The editing was amazing, as was the painting of Ghaz and Makari. Can't wait for your future projects!

[@andrewshackleton5555]

I’m really enjoying the content, it’s becoming one of my favourite 40k channels.

[@thomasclements]

came to say the same thing

[@edpaintsminis]

You're both legends. Thank you so much.

[@blakej6416]

Top quality video, thanks Ed!

[@user-sv1kd7hz9e]

great content, really capture the imagination of 2nd edition; love how all the concept art is cohesive to 2nd edition as well

[@battlebrothers_40k]

I love this channel. The minis, the topics discussed, the awesome retro vibes. Keep doing your thing, I'm here for the ride!

[@edpaintsminis]

Thank you battle brothers!

[@Cam_of_Warwick]

You should put up a poll to see how many of your viewers want you to do an entire video in your Makari voice.

[@GigaSchnitzel]

man you cant imagine how much fun i have watching your vids, keep them coming, super style

[@mafilmt]

One of the best channels about 40k. I'm enjoying every video. Please keep on going!

[@edpaintsminis]

Ah! You're too kind sir!

[@sevatarviii9516]

ki relly loving the retro theme youve got going in this one and braking up painting with lore is ace :)

[@ericmumper6821]

For what it’s worth, it’s always lovely when I see one of your videos in my feed. Love the content!

[@edpaintsminis]

You're a legend. Exactly the kind of comment that keeps me doing these videos!

[@graywolf3000]

Still awesome! Looking forward to more! 👍👍👍

[@legionnaireminis]

Great video idea! And you've done the Goff boyz proud they look amazing! Can't wait to see them in person, yours will be in the post on Monday 😁

[@edpaintsminis]

Epic! Can't wait Joe!

[@maciekkandula]

Thanks for sharing this! It's very refreshing and enjoyable. Great content! 👌🏻

[@edpaintsminis]

Mission accomplished!

[@Eatplaymove]

Top notch! A whole minisodes family extravaganza 😊

[@gravydippedgrab-handles7194]

Most must-click thumbnail ever! Great vid!

[@ochaco81]

Amazing work, as always. I loved the transitions too! A nice way of touching up on the lore AND how GW was during the time. I loved it.

[@edpaintsminis]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@davidazofra]

Hi. The wallpaint in 7:40 is really lovely. Thank you for your videos.

[@Mattw1987]

love the paint job on Ghazghkull, def the best version of Ghazghkull out of them all! still have mine to paint at some point

[@chrissyross]

Just found this channel and now on a binge of content. Excellent production and great content: keep up the fabulous work!

[@edpaintsminis]

Heck yeah! Welcome to the party pal!

[@Vch031]

Looking forward to more content. Your passion for 2nd edition really shows, and I love seeing your cat at the end of every video!

[@rien5996]

One of the best 2nd ed erra content I've ever seen! great vid!

[@edpaintsminis]

Thank you! This one's a bit bonkers but glad you like it!

[@bennyboyglos]

Great episode. Looking forward to the next.

[@Tigerheart01]

Loving this! Keep playing 2nd and expanding those Ork and Blood Angels armies! 2nd Edition is where I got started and it's so nostalgic to see you playing it.

[@edpaintsminis]

Will do! Word is that the Blood Angels have requisitioned a dreadnought from the chapter armoury...

[@wokehammer40k]

So much great art and thrilling narration!

[@JescoJimBo]

Best video yet! Keep up the awesome work!

[@danielcannon9893]

Fantastic production

[@davidvisser4446]

Nice! Good idea for the banner!

[@Tom_Quixote]

This channel is basically my childhood.

[@lukusridley]

Another banger, really enjoying the experimentation!

[@kwest9747]

REALLY enjoyed this one. The chop and change editing was an interesting choice - it let you cover a lot of different content without wasting time on segue. It did meant I had to watch the video twice (something I rarely do - but it does put your video up in the leagues of Fury Road) but that is probably good for my algorithm and your metrics?

[@kwest9747]

You know what … I’m going in a third time!

[@edpaintsminis]

Sweet! Damn I love Fury Road! Dune was mine, I hadn't seen anything more than once in the cinema since The Two Towers!

[@95soled]

Love the dramatic music for visiting the post office 🤣

[@noleti]

Amazing! I'm also very happy you didn't go for the... Interesting banner with the swastika that was around on GW pictures of him at the time

[@edpaintsminis]

Good point. I looked long and hard at that and gave it a pass.

[@tonydotnottingham]

A really enjoyable mashup!

[@johnturner2629]

Incredible video. Absolutely outstanding work! Loved the boardgame ❤

[@johnturner2629]

3:40 made me cry, incredible

[@edpaintsminis]

Thanks John!

[@Cuthbo]

Commenting for the dreaded algorithm but also because this is a fantastic, creative vid.

[@whulfri8890]

Fntastic video yet again good sir!

[@Starbladesarcane]

Watching your videos makes me want to build a first born only army so bad haha keep up the great content 👍

[@edpaintsminis]

Thank you! Do it!

[@lotsofspoons]

Love the paint job!

[@wiganeldar]

Love these videos 😊

[@jasongross1640]

Where did you buy the battle mat? If you had it custom made, then that is awesome. It really ads to the oldhammer feel of the batreps

[@edpaintsminis]

Hey Jason! Sorry to take so long to get back to you on this! Here's the link and I bought it off Etsy: www.tinywargames.co.uk/online-store/Urban-WH-p534245712

[@euansmith3699]

Did touching the cat trigger a static discharge, taking down the camera? 🤔😄😻 Everything about this video is totally top-notch.

[@edpaintsminis]

That must have been it! 🐈⚡

[@timothywilliamson9763]

Great video 🎉

[@kharnifex]

DWEADNOUGHT!

PLASMA GAN!

[@mikevincent8728]

Cracking content, dude!

[@billybowen3023]

Love 2and edition keep it up.

[@HeadCannonPrime]

As a US based fan, It blows my mind that you had TV commercials for warhammer back in the day.

[@andrewwoodhead3141]

Ha ! The board game ! king love it ! Oh , and I am looking at that Land raider , trust me !

[@elmo1234]

Wow! Did you paint the mural on your house too? That must be an awesome place to live. No wonder you're so creative.

[@SlabBulkhead]

The board game is based on eastern front WW2 games, with the Orks taking the place of the Germans and the Imperium the Russians.

[@gloriouspig3813]

Zoggin hell boss... look at dis... its bootiful.

[@hmgirlpopuri5819]

Lovely work with the model but the audio spikes on the static when you flash the old commercials are so loud I thought they were going to blow out my speakers. :(

[@edpaintsminis]

Sorry about that, but good to know. I'll dial that down if I do that again!

[@MrEggsauce]

It's him! Da boss! 🎉

[@calibulaminus4778]

ngl, il probs rewatch the video tomorrow once i get my adhd medication back on me, cause i kinda struggled to keep up with the cuts, still, bloody good show

[@edpaintsminis]

Apologies! Bit of an experiment on my part! Thanks for the comment and glad you're enjoying the content 😁

[@DecayedAndy]

this was interesting editing wise, im not for me it flowed well from one to the other as it broke up the narrative of the story of the game a little too much for myself. What feel were you trying to go for out of interest? maybe if you do this style again structuring it like a tv show where there are only 3 "commercial breaks" 1 at the start, 1 in the middle and 1 at the end after the narratives done. I dont know :D Painting was proper good of coursed and i loved seeing that metal lead get a right propa paint job!

[@edpaintsminis]

Cheers for the comment Andy! By way of explanation, I didn't want to commit to a video solely on either, so hedged my bets and the 'hopping' allowed me to avert segues and skip over laborious parts. It's early days for this channel and I'm still playing around with the format - having a bit of fun and seeing what sticks! Yours is really useful feedback and I appreciate your honesty. My wife felt the same way!

[@DecayedAndy]

@@edpaintsminis I can understand that and its never a bad idea to mix things up if you have a new idea for something. I usually don't comment on videos but i really like seeing these vids come up and improve over time.

[@jnborawski]

Hell yeah!

How cute that Ghazi is! Back then he was just a Nob!

ERE WE GO

[@fernlenker]

joy =) YES I enjoy every video =))

[@RyanEdwardsVA]

Awesome video, just watch those volume levels on the static transitions; a few even reach painful levels of volume when I watched this video at a modest overall volume.

[@edpaintsminis]

Yep, noted! I've since got sound a bit more figured out and continue to learn with every video. Thanks for the comment! 🙂

[@Jedi_Scowen]

I'll bet the postage was almost as much as the minis

[@thejaxter6993]

So how does banner painting work exactly?

[@edpaintsminis]

Hello! If you take a look at my Landspeeder Restoration video I put a link in the description to a great tutorial by Josh from The Crown of Command.

[@kharnifex]

WAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!

[@WilhelmScreamer]

It took me an embarrasingly long time to figure out what was going on with this video. But damn if it isn't cool

For a video called "painting 2nd edition..." It takes half the video before any painting happens...

Really enjoyed this. Played Battle for Armageddon to death back in the day.
