Retro painting: Space Wolves | 70 hours of pain

it's cool not only seeing a retro scheme come back to life, but also it makes me realize just how far painting techniques have come since the 90's, let alone the paints

[@kuredar9702]

if you've done Space Wolves. Your doing Ultramarines, Dark Angels, Blood Angels, and you have 5 left over marines. Why don't you do 1 marine in each of the 5 remaining loyalist legions. So White Scars, Imperial Fists, Iron Hands, Salamanders and Raven Guard.

[@MidwinterMinis]

That might be cool!

[@anotherzingbo]

The five spare marines could be done as 5 different chapters, it might keep the old farts like me happier as there's more chance our preferred chapters (Salamanders!) would make the grade that way!

[@KabinMiniatures]

It's so satisfying to see retro minis painted with such an effort and sort of "redeeming" the old sculpts, that are so often dismissed when compared to new ones. I tip my normal-head-sized-hat to you, sir!

[@AFnord]

I think people have a tendency of fixating a bit on the bad sculpts and let them represent the "classics" in their minds. The quality of the sculpts were far less consistent back then than they are now (though GW is not always spot on these days either, though nowadays it tends to be clutter that's the big issue), with some still looking great, and some looking not so great. The fact that they tried to cast these in as few pieces as possible also did not necessarily make for the best minis, with some being far better at hiding their flatness than others.

[@TeamTimeless]

I'd say you've got to do some Crimson Fists. They're the poster children marines of the early editions.

I've not painted or played Warhammer 40,000 for decades, but saw your channel and saw this video. I visited a gamesworkshop a last year in January had had a big nostalgia trip with the manager, talking about these models and the old paints. This video has given me a great nostalgia trip. I have a loads of these old models base coated somewhere in my mums house. I need to go find them!!! Thanks for the trip back to my teenage years.

[@jaybot4443]

That shot of the painted squad instantly transported me back to the 90's....to those awesome Saturdays spent in GW with my mates, rolling dice and dreaming of our ultimate armies. I can even smell the old school paint! Nostalgia is powerful indeed!!

[@AsteroidWrangler]

Absolutely loved seeing this. Some of the 2nd Edition studio Space Wolves are in a case at the Warhammer Store and Cafe in Grapevine TX, and I always can't help but look at them when I stop by. You absolutely nailed the 2nd Edition look with these guys once again.

Theres an unmatched magic to watching this. I dont have memories of these but some of the paints and process are intrinsically linked to my early hobby memories. Metal minis are still unequaled.
