[@EuanMilne]

Interesting observations: nearly every single maggotkin kit contains a nurgling, normally standing on their own, sometimes mimicking the models they accompany, sometimes appear as actual weapons on their warscroll. The gargoylians are seemingly based on heronymousch (or however you spell it) bosch paintings, and their lore-reason and overall design feels less deliberately curtsey and more so like a new part of the cities environment, mysterious creatures that appear to gravitate towards dawnbringer crusades

[@andreacook7431]

Back in the 90s, I painted some squigs because they were cute and silly. 30 years later, I wanted to get back into painting minis. I was SO happy to see that squigs were STILL cute and silly. Also, they're bitey skittles. If you don't do the best paint job, they're still cute, bitey skittles. By the time you run out of squigs, you're probably a much better mini painter than you started.

[@philipbowles5397]

I think if Warhammer were new today with the ideas it has now, squigs would be the face of the game. They're beloved and fully unique to GW. I've tried to find out the story behind the initial idea to put a goblin on a space hopper and so create the modern squig aesthetic (older ones, introduced in 40k, were lizard-like and less comical than the Goff Rockers they came with), but without success.

[@MaxLoy]

one thing I think is important to think about is that the "lil guy" aesthetic works in part because it's a big contrast to the baseline of the setting. a setting of just cute things would come off as saccharine and staid. it's precisely _because_ the cute things aren't the norm that they resonate so well when they do show up.

[@khw1425]

As someone who played from around 2000-2005 this makes sense to me...there definitely was a need to break up the tone a little...though there also was usually a decent amount of wackiness and color. It's interesting seeing the "animal" armies in here, since I never really thought of scaven, tyranids, or lizardmen as "cute" though they did help break up the tone a bit. Also want to give a shout out to the accidentally wacky armies of those days, like the Dark Eldar, who most definitely are playing at a local "battle of the bands" witch some sick Van Halen covers.

I was just looking at the pictures online and realized there's a random lil' guy in one of the "extra bits" showcases, and I have wanted him ever since! With his little robe, struggling to carry a knife too big for his body that would still be way too small for a guy in Terminator plate to actually use. Great lil' guy and criminally underrated. He's on my list to convert into.... something whenever the Emperor's Children finally release.

[@robertcain7630]

Is that really Trolls in the Pantry and Oi! Dat's My Leg! you have on the shelf there??? I've not seen those in forever! Also couldn't help noticing that alongside the new paints you have not only some of the old hexagonal pots but even older round white-tops? That is, I think, the ones done by another company for GW rather than produced themselves? I was told that the old range is still going under the name Coat d'Arms paints by Black Hat Miniatures. I don't know if that is true and they are the same company or not, but what I *do* know is that Coat d'Arms is a very nice range of paints going off the handful that I have tried. In particular they do a beautiful metallic blue and metallic purple/amethyst very much like GW used to sell way back when and I absolutely loved. Back then they had to have a perfect, even white undercoat to look good, the current ones from the Coat d'Arms range however will even look good painted over black! Sorry, getting far off topic of the video! Silly/funny little guys are certainly nothing new, like the old gobbos and such as mentioned. I was actually wondering if you would also mention the old chaos familiars and low and behold you did! My favourites of those was always the walking book and the scroll bearer! And as well, one of the old Genestealer Patriarch models (I think the one seated on a throne?) used to come with a couple of demonic familiars that took the form of tiny Genestealers (this was back when a Genestealer coven could ally with Chaos and the Patriarch could become possessed by a demon,) Back then the company didn't take itself too seriously I don't think, GW knew their fans/customers, knew they liked some silly in-jokes and the odd goofy model and acted accordingly. This is basically I think what produced the game Blood Bowl. Certainly 3rd Edition from '94 which was my introduction to it (which is the edition you show in the vid) with their Orcidas sponsors and their Necromancer Broadcasting Corporation and Crystal Ball Network and led to some of the silliest official and fan-made rules for any system, including a troll on a pogo-stick featured in the old Citadel Journal and came with an official silliness warning! A while after that the company got a bit too obsessed with being serious and all grim-dark, like a moody teenager who always dresses in black wants to be treated like an adult and hates disney and has forgotten how to have fun. It's good to see the company getting a sense of humour again and, as before, Blood Bowl leading the way! I've always thought of BB as the best game old GW ever made, a simple core ruleset that lends itself to multiple variations and adaptations, I've played 4-way games, games in dungeons, games with multiple/enchanted balls and many more. There is little frustration like finally running a player over the touch-line after a difficult play for the winning score, only to have the enchanted ball teleport out of their hands at the last second!

I think to build on your point while there is only war in the grim dark far future, I think this is needed for the sake of contrast. We get numb if everything is dark and grim and by placing a little bit of joy and wholesomeness it helps make the grimdarkness pop. If a canvas is painted in various shades of black it’s hard to make things out but add a bit of white and now the painting pops.

My absolute favourite GW cutesy band is the Underworlds lizard men with the chameleon and its little pocket poison frog. Andy from Cult of Paint did such a beautiful work of it 🐸

As someone who has 5000 points of Hello Kitty themed Necrons I approve of this video.

Grimdark and cute, you love to see it. I'm really here for the little guy movement!

All your overlaid ad-hocisms are entertaining, but 'oh lord he comin'' absolutely killed me 🤣🤣🤣 Great vid, as always!

All of my guard squads have a canid officer leading them.

Super late to the party, but I really love the little rat in the Plagueclaw Underworld pack with the snaggle tooth and the chunk of warpstone, as well as on the Skaven Warlock Engineers, one of the models has a flintlock pistol that's being muzzle loaded by a little rat holding a ball. Honourable mention goes out to the two little guys that come with the Neurotyrant Tyranid who I've seen someone compile a gif of them alternating poses and it looks like they're just doing an awkward little dance.
