@@Grim-Crusader lovely to hear and you of my same vintage I see. This is the hobby to at just keeps on giving. I think I got this catalogue in 1990 so I would have been 18 or so I guess. Time flies as they say

Would be nice if GW still did these and perhaps divided it into multiple books, for sci-fi and fantasy, etc.

I will try and do something similar with the Herohammer Fanzine coming back early next year mate with some nice step by step photos and tips.

Good stuff. I'd have loved this guide for my Battlemaster figs (I was only 9 or 10). That was about the time GenX came inside for the 1st time with the advent of the NES, Super Mario and The legend of Zelda 😂

The two chaos minis you panned over on the introduction page were really tough chaos cards in the original red citadel combat cards which i still have thankfully. They had some funky names on those cards. They really inspired my own love of rhe hobby together with guides just like this. Nice video, thanks!

@@albertbargery9619 thank you and I have never had or seen the combat cards apart from when I worked at GW in London and I saw they had some in a plastic case. Thanks for sharing that piece of information with us as I had no idea. Cheers

GW gave up with book form painting guides circa 2016, I dunno why, I think they were brilliant and a must have when it was specific to an army or army faction.

The answer with GW is ALWAYS: shareholders and profit. It didn't make them enough money for the investment so they cut it.

What a great painting guide! Couple of years before my first stint in the hobby, so I wasn't familiar with it. Thanks for sharing 👍 Mick.

I remember that book and some of the information on how to paint models which was very useful. At that time I was 25 years old and enjoying playing Epic and some of the 3rd Editon Warhammer and Rogue Trader

I was born in '93 but I've had this guide in digital form for a few years, and it's brilliant. I think it might be the best paint guide GW ever produced. Every single thing I can think of, this guide addresses, except oil washes and airbrushes, of course. Thank you for making this video, I'm sure this little booklet holds a special place in your heart!

It'll still beats many youtubers today this guide, and it encourages experimentation. So many trying to re invent the wheel but without learning this stuff. Best guide, aside from the mike mcvey ones of course. Even if you prefer grim dark painting styles, this info is still stands,its simple, clear and makes sense to all ages. Genius.

I had the blue cover version of this guide that came out in the very early 90s (it cost me 50p at my local GW). My very first painting guide and one of the best.
