My brother's old Warhammer 40k army is a fever dream...

[@bopaintsminis]

That army deserves a very gently wash and a return to the tabletop. It is surely a tribute to a better time, a freer time.

[@guyincognito959]

Idk the name but it was one of the designers at old GW. He had some article in a white dwarf, where he showed of his room full of trash, all waiting to be crafted into minis, terrain, dioramas, and so on...with the hint that his wife would not approve of this😅 Or ye olden times when gluing together Ork minis from what's left over was encouraged...

[@pest5373]

Back when super glue would stick you to the ceiling

[@owensthilaire8189]

Yeah, WTF happened there?

[@Sir_Bucket]

​@@owensthilaire8189 it gives you less cancer now, that's what happened

[@bencastor9207]

Nothing happened, your area is too dry, super glue needs moisture for strength.

[@Bruh............]

No pining only super glue... when super glue was toxic and could hold together a car lol

[@Chielz0r]

Yea.. some glues are no joke, I remember getting seriously sick from gluing mini's in a badly ventilated space. Worst headache I've ever had and vomiting.

[@jostonpowell1346]

I started messing with miniatures in early 90s (born in 82) and used some old school glue and put it on some type of foam bush. Seen smoke rising and everything was melting on the table. I think it was some original D&D Barbarian metal sculpts back then

[@lazerrhino]

Makes sense, i always thought it was stickier when I was a kid

[@nightfire734]

This is a wild looking army. Like something you might see in a White Dwarf. I would love to see this properly cataloged and photographed and uploaded to reddit or something.

[@rayman8165]

True warhammer grimdark essence. Your brother is a genius

[@BreadTeleporter1968]

I got a friend who carries this chaotic energy into the local GW shop, he doesn’t even play he just takes some of our spare stuff and mini of the months (the manager is chill) and makes the most DIABOLICAL creations

[@fordmodelT1957]

That sounds sick, would love to see them 🤘

[@vuaddd]

true chaos worshipper

[@BreadTeleporter1968]

@@fordmodelT1957 Might record them next time we’re in the local shop, he’s made a German fashion inspired mech suit out of spare broadside battle suit parts

[@williamscerbo458]

This is so insanely badass man. What a labor or love. And to think that the Nightbringer model still hasn't been updated...lol

[@dumpsterfriar6732]

Holy damn, this looks like an entirely custom proto-Dark Mechanicus army from 3rd Edition. Crazy to think Genestealer Cult and Squats(Votann) got a codex before they did. This is some amazing work.

[@vuaddd]

These nutty skeletons are so damn funny man. they are definitely deserves a tribute from GW

[@WitchHunterSiegfried88]

*I CAN FEEL THE WARP OVERTAKING ME, IT IS A GOOD PAIN!* Seriously though this is PEAK Chaos, he did a great job.

[@Vrooten]

Wonder how many collections there are like this one out there gathering dust in basements and attics. Would pay good money to see an exhibition!

[@gordonfreeman5872]

Looks awesome. Funny to see all the different parts, but still there's a consistent style coming through.

[@skunk12]

What a special treat. Thanks for sharing this! Lots of love for your brother's AWESOME conversions.

[@mateuszbanaszak4671]

Army from back when SuperGlue could hold Cadia together. But seriously, your Big Bros army deserves to be its own official faction.

[@coolkidcharles]

Priceless looking army my man. Thanks for sharing. This video is like a time machine

[@Khainite]

Insanely cool. It's always nice to see a creative army from a bygone era.

[@mayflower2765]

the random servitor holding towels killed me

[@Skargar]

That one little adept carrying towels 😆

[@wraith7707]

Wouldve killed to know what the order shipping team at GW thought seeing an order for all those miscellaneous bits

[@judgecohen1373]

Just another day on the farm. I witnessed it.

[@nicholasscott3287]

Apparently it was a pain in the butt for then since often they had to cast a whole metal sprue, cut off one part, then throw the rest of the sprue back into the pot to melt back down again

[@judgecohen1373]

@@nicholasscott3287 Nope. Different jobs. There were racks with thousands of bins. After they were spun the casters would break them off, inspect them and sort them. Then pickers would out them into their appropriate spots on the shelves until needed by the MO trolls or packers. There were also mold (mould) cutters/makers who would cut the vents for casting or press new molds from the masters we would get from main production. They were good at their jobs so unless there was a mold problem due to bad venting or some other issue, the parts were kept for future use. Eventually someone wanted one of everything.

[@Nakai_the_Wanderer]

Thats the spirit of Warhammer. Think about what you want your army to be and just convert your own miniatures.

[@montaguegray7486]

these are taking me back to to a bunch of fresh out of home nerds getting stoned and building some crazy armies, then getting drunk while playing them

[@DungeonBrushBabbles]

This hits pretty close to the bullseye...😉

[@camwardart]

I think the yellow and black tubes, as well as the consistent use of undead bits gives the army a real unified feeling

[@worldlylexicon671]

Can we take a moment to respect how mom has kept these just as they were left; nobly sacrificing a significant portion of her basement to preserve this relic?

[@lowbrowminis]

truly insane stuff dude, thanks for showing us.

[@nemesisofeden]

That's a lot of money sitting on that table. The amount of mods on that table is astounding. So cool! That skeleton is old school Vampire Counts mixed with necrons. The giant bats are Dire Bats from Vampire Counts

[@Jessthree]

wow that is legit amazing work.

[@DoomStarRequiem]

Just stumbled onto your channel through this video.. that army is amazing.

[@aletseva]

this video hit the algorithm running lol

Tom & Ben HAVE to see this… This is wild.

[@bajsbrev4651]

jaw dropping terminators, holy shit

[@saddonkey4499]

Looks like something straight out of Heavy Metal magazine.

[@DeathInTheSnow]

Or perhaps... 'eavy Metal.

those hands on the warlord titan terminators are lego bionacle bits if im not mistaken

[@DungeonBrushBabbles]

My bro hath confirmed they're OG dark eldar talos claws flipped vertical.

[@weirdwwii8775]

Man, that is a army worthy of the title CHAOS in it! Ahh, the days of kit bashing and asking "what the hell is that?!" is over. Now it's all "official" this and that. Great stuff and defiantly a basement full of treasures! Hope you had a great X-Mas and that the New Year sees you and yours with happiness, health and prosperity. Keep it WEIRD!

[@DungeonBrushBabbles]

Truly CHAOS indeed. Tis a shame kitbashing ain't really a thing with new GW stuff (outside reissue Old World stuff) Merry Xmas and Happy New Years to you and yours!

[@Moramany]

These are actually crazy. So creative

If Sid from Toy Story had a 40k army 😂

Bro will kit bash his models but still refuses to do anything crazy for the base. Chad behavior.

[@MrTAZORII]

That is / was an insane amount of kit bashing... super army! Thanks for the show case! And those EPIC titan - dreads! so cool...

This is just freaking beautiful. 🤘

Considering I know the source, my sanity remains intact. Barely. 😂

Golden Daemon for Originality. This what 40K and Warhammer used to be about.

[@Lomhow]

Literally, a bottle of Streaking Grime would make this whole army look modern. A good wash would serve them well.

[@trogdo]

They’re perfect each and every one 🥰

[@Deliverygrot]

They look straight from a rogue trader era withe dwarf so cool

[@brendans1983]

Loved hacking things up back in the day! Was too young to have money to order parts, so would sneak onto Dad's shed when he was still at work and slowly figured out how to use glue, saws and bench grinders. No glasses, no gloves, no breathing protection. Just me and a heap of lead dust and glue fumes hanging out. Its probably why some of my conversions were so psychedelic 😂

[@leovaeg]

2025 is GW's 50th anniversary - if you get a good pic spread i think this would be perfect for a White Dwarf feature :)

[@DeathInTheSnow]

Even though this is all compete 100% GW metal, resin and plastic, and maybe even on the correct bases, modern GW wouldn't let you play this at events, and probably not even at stores. I've seen, first-hand, people rejected for using 1993 Space Marines because they were "too small", even though they'd been rebased. They will stop you from using 3D printed shoulder pads or heads. They just want you to use their monopose, single loadout kits, and nothing else. I dread to think what 2025 and 11th edition will be like. They'll probably sell to a private equity firm by then...

[@chameleonedm]

Yeah, because in a competitive setting if all of your dudes are 1/3rd shorter then you are going to have less line of sight available. For what you're suggesting to be allowed, what you are also allowing is utter pay to win nonsense as the oldest and rarest kits become competitively advantaged. Now the barrier to entry is massive, similar to formats such as modern or even legacy in MTG You can act as doomer as you want, but there is a very clear and obvious reason for not allowing these models in competitive tournaments

[@BreadTeleporter1968]

What GW stores have you been to, my local one probably wouldn’t even care if you play non-Warhammer games

[@DeathInTheSnow]

@@chameleonedm What the hell are on about with that deranged rant? Have you seen the 1993 minis? They're firstborn sized. The guy wasn't trying to play them as Primaris, just as firstborn. They're also ridiculously easy to find because they came in every kit for a decade, including the painting kits. And for that reason, they don't go for much either, so I have no idea where this "pay to win" mentality of yours comes from, *_especially as this a hobby and not a competitive game._*
