Old World Diaries: Empire! Citizens of the Empire

[@jakobo88]

Dusting off 2 rare 15 year old minis to give them a mediocre paintjob for the old world. Love it, keep it coming!

[@jeffholt9437]

That's a bit harsh - oh, I see what you did there - nice one! 😊

[@MediocreHobbies]

:D Thanks man

[@johnfoster7496]

Great minis from a brilliant era for minis

[@MediocreHobbies]

Very true.

[@timraymond8245]

Your welcome to having him back

[@MediocreHobbies]

hahaha

[@drakeushellblade1786]

the one with the pistols could easily be a merc captain in Mordheim

[@MediocreHobbies]

Oo yes great idea!

[@intzbk1]

Great job as always! I like the longer, talky videos, keep them coming. I also enjoyed the personal history you provided for the models, it brings back memories of certain models I have that I have forgotten about over the last 40 years. Going through my boxes for skeletons for Tomb Kings, I found a bunch from Grenadier, Citadel pre-WHFB, and early WHFB timeframe. Some have the bases molded in and some have the old hexagon bases. They wouldn't fit in with my TKs and my VCs are zombie based so they stay in the box for now.

[@MediocreHobbies]

That’s so cool having those models.

[@CojoSC]

I am excited for the Old World. I never played fantasy but i want to make an Empire army as soon as it comes out. Hopefully finding the models won't be too terrible.

[@MediocreHobbies]

The models will be re-released! Just hang on for them if empire is what you want to play. Tomb kings and bretonnians are just the first two armies to launch. And you’ll have rules for empire from the start as well

[@ed8930]

The Warhammer Online Collectors Edition came with a really cool Orc and Goblin model that I haven't seen many people paint up, probably because they have no rules, Grumlok & Gazbag

[@MediocreHobbies]

I have him and that’s a great choice for my ork model.

[@intzbk1]

I have him as well. I really liked the orcs from the WH Quest pack as well. The goblin with the lantern is great and needs to be my general, the lantern emanating WAAAGH energy that keeps the orcs in line.

[@scroggie_mini_painting3983]

Cheers Andy. Liked the longer style video. Any Dwarf model would be great to see in the future 👍🏼. All the best for 2024

[@MediocreHobbies]

Same to you man, always appreciate you! Dwarves are on the way once I decide on a model!

[@Dustind1211]

Fantastic video as usual! Can't wait to see what this year brings and the videos you discussed. That landship would be a real treat to see painted up. lol It will be awesome to see the different state color themes get some screen time here ... hopefully Solland is included in that list, I know it isn't really around (unless something is going on in Sudenland since it is on the map.), but will be such a nice scheme. SOLLAND ETERNAL!!!

[@MediocreHobbies]

Incase you were not aware this new setting is set way before the end times. So before the fall of solland so yes indeed I think I can deliver you a soland Guide for sure.

[@DrGreening7]

Picked up a Beastman starter set instead of dusting off my Goblins or Dark Elves. Wanted to do something fresh but also an army that I can easily pick up models for.

[@MediocreHobbies]

That really great to hear. I will be doing some beastmen myself.

[@battlebarn6336]

That kit is one of my all time favorites. Way to go dude

[@MediocreHobbies]

Thanks man, glad you enjoyed seeing them!

[@silverwolf3745]

I have those minis, they're really beautiful casts.

[@MediocreHobbies]

Yes they're so nice, hope they come back for more people to get!

[@jmc7034]

Nice start to the new year

[@MediocreHobbies]

So excited!

[@metajock]

Good one, thanks!

[@MediocreHobbies]

Anytime pal

[@melekhthechanger88]

really enjoy these longer form videos and dwarfs please or choas dwarfs if you have them!

[@MediocreHobbies]

Thank you! Good to know! Dwarves on the way

[@Tychonaut-wg3]

These 2 models made it into my Mordheim warband, which my local gaming club are getting back into.

[@MediocreHobbies]

Oh that's so cool, they're perfect for that

[@Jason-man-in-black]

Happy new year Andy all the best for 2024, and here’s to 100k best of luck mate, all your hard work deserves it.

[@MediocreHobbies]

Thank you so much pal. Very kind.

[@jonpaul7379]

I think for high elves you got to paint an old Tyrion or Teclis model!

[@MediocreHobbies]

I think I have have to! A few requests for them already 😄

[@christopherboling3362]

Teclis or Tyrion would be cool to see painted

[@MediocreHobbies]

Will have a look at doing that!

[@GlynArmitage]

would love to see you do the Dwarf Slayer King if you have him to do......he was a cool model with a dragon cape and huge orange hair and a massive axe......Eltharion for the High Elves would be cool to see as well.......great video amazing models

[@MediocreHobbies]

I do indeed have him and his even rarer son model. Great choice.

[@codymcc26]

I second this

[@rakkit1212]

cant wait for the orcs and goblins video since that's the army ill be playing, love the old world videos you do :)

[@MediocreHobbies]

That's the army i forgot :D Yes on the way soon!

[@fragfmgill]

nice i got these 2 dudes waiting for a paint job!

[@MediocreHobbies]

Sweet!!

[@zaenia]

Love the old world content. Would like to see some high elf vids. Definitely thr army im most interested in as a new player. Wish they had a launch box tho

[@MediocreHobbies]

Tomb kings and bretonnians are just the first armies, they’ll get stuff soon! And yes high elves will be coming fairly soon!

[@dwadland]

Excellent - always loved those old Empire models. I wasn't tempted with Old World until I saw they were selling metal models again, Really looking forward to getting my hands on the grail reliquary!

[@MediocreHobbies]

Yes so many cool things coming back on shelves soon!

[@VoltanIgnatio]

I will be buying in to old world, so keen tosupport it. I have loads, but will be filling gaps in my collection, buying all the starter sets and books and making a wood elf and orc and goblin army

[@MediocreHobbies]

Love it man, can’t wait to see them all come together

[@patgray5402]

I'll use mine as free company seargents. Cool colors

[@MediocreHobbies]

Oh good idea! Thanks man

[@colinplatt1963]

I'll have to buy some of the new miniatures as I gave my old armies away when the Old World ended! That said, I'm really looking forward to Bretonnians, I never felt that I could do a decent job on things like Grail Knights or the Green Knight, but starting to think I can sneak up on them now if I take my time! Another great video, please keep the Old World coming!

[@MediocreHobbies]

No plans to stop :D

[@TheRyanMeredith]

I used to play Fantasy back in the day. I still have some of my orcs and goblins and chaos warriors. I really hope they get a good ruleset and I will want get back into it

[@MediocreHobbies]

Not long to wait for rules now!

[@rogerhack3750]

This is good. I never did fantasy myself but a paint video is a paint video nonetheless.

[@MediocreHobbies]

appreciate you watching! and yes, im the same-ill watch anything :D

[@patricpeters9716]

Honestly if there’s one thing that most excited for it’s be able to use Bretonnian models for conversion on a widespread scale. Dave Taylor’s Genswick Rifles Imperial Guard has been a dream of mine to convert myself, and so with the old models returning, I can crack on and finish the army without fear of having to spend over $100 for a box of Men at Arms.

[@MediocreHobbies]

That's a great plan!

[@ovan2190]

Love your passion for Old World, I'm hoping all the old Tomb Kings characters in plastic and the talking was fun. Always fun to hear an opinion :) Do you have Malakith leader of the Dark Elves? I'd love to see him painted if you do, also would love to see a bear with a flag painted Great video as always Andy

[@MediocreHobbies]

I do indeed have him although he is on a giant black dragon so maybe a little big for a first video lol.

[@kalesmythe]

The codpiece on that first one really makes a statement😅

[@MediocreHobbies]

Hahaha right, maybe it’s deliberately distracting so he wins duels 😄

[@dairewoods2544]

I will be a new player for old world, watched my uncle play years and years ago and always wanted to give it again but fantasy blew up before i could give it a go, settled for 40k. Will absaloutly be getting bretonnia

[@MediocreHobbies]

Love hearing that! Lots more bretonnia coming to the channel soon as well so stay tuned!

[@qwertyrobbo101]

I hope these get re-released, I wanted them first time around but missed the run

[@MediocreHobbies]

Empire is on the way back to shelves, I really hope these guys will be there too! Seems like they should be based on everything back for Bretonnia!

[@madmerlinsart]

Orcs & Goblins, was the other faction. I know I've already done mine, but would love to see your take on Queek Headtaker. Sadly as of yesterdays Lore article they mentioned that the Luminark and Hurricanum aren't going to feature in the Empire list due to them not being invented yet, on the other hand feel free to include as many Steam Tanks as you want as they are no longer relics and pretty much in mass production.

[@MediocreHobbies]

Yeah the new timeline will take a bit to get used to! Thank you-not sure how I forgot that faction! Will have a dig around for Headtaker!

[@madmerlinsart]

@MediocreHobbies I think I'll adjust to it pretty easily as I'm coming in fresh. But it won't be as easy for others. No problem, I'm glad to help. Can't wait.

[@jeffholt9437]

Nice job Andy. Do you have an Imrik on plastic (Talisman) dragon you could paint?

[@MediocreHobbies]

I’ll have a look!

[@zac5564]

I was playing on getting a whole new army but then I saw the US prices and decided to make it a slow roll or just getting the special units from GW and using historicals for the line. Though I will say the Arcane Journals are a good price point and what the codexes should be.

[@MediocreHobbies]

Good way of doing it!

[@TronsTableTop]

I was thinking wood elves then you said you dont have many😅 So skaven and high elves are what I'd like to see. Not too interested in old world but i could be tempted. Well i am. Those lady and unicorn models are gorgeous

[@MediocreHobbies]

I'll be getting wood elves this time around though! High elves will be done soon, skaven aren't part of the starter armies so will take longer to get around to them! And yes the lady and unicorn models are just stunning

[@TronsTableTop]

@@MediocreHobbies ah cool. I can wait for skaven.

[@sigmatus303]

sigh...he finally works on Empire and its not Reikland shame...lol. great job mate minis look great

[@MediocreHobbies]

Hahaha definitely missed a trick there!

[@nickdavis5420]

Man I’d paint that dude like Ramirez. Hmm yeah the price point seems awful high sadly.

[@MediocreHobbies]

They're be around for a while if you want to save up!

[@zachmoss8896]

EMPIRE!!!

[@MediocreHobbies]

Let's go!

[@GilthosDrakoniss]
