Good times when White Dwarf was a DIY manual instead a Forge World catalogue.

[@AdamPriestleyWargaming]

It used to be more of a hobby magazine than a catalogue.

[@joelcraig9803]

Polos are called Lifesavers in the U.S. because they look like those big round things you throw to people who are drowning.

[@the98themperoroftheholybri33]

For anyone wishing to scratch build vehicles or buildings, use EVA foam for armour panels, I've found it incredibly useful and it sticks really well to pretty much anything using supeglue.

[@johncolvin2754]

If I remember right there was another pic of that first marine showing it to be an anchor on his Pauldron 👍

[@toooldfortwowheels2048]

These are all ther best miniatures from my Space Marines Combat Cards. LOVE IT.

[@kwest9747]

The big yellowybrown tank is very reminiscent of one of the Wacky Racers.

[@adambeckett8394]

The Weird Eldar was from the RT402 Eldar Command release models (1988), so probably some fancy-looking Eldar Commander.

[@MrCrystalwarrior1]

Bringing back so many memories from the early days of Citadel/Games Workshop, when things weren't so set in stone or expensive 😊

[@309freddie]

In the day and age of 3D printers everywhere, wouldn't it be wonderful to have a section in White Dwarf that covers custom or scratch builds with the templates on how to do it? I cherish my Rogue Trader Spartan tank, built from the first edition Rhino and Land Raider models.

[@SnakeWorksStudio]

They used to have them didnt they?

[@taxman3749]

Good 'Ol Chunkhammer

[@SnakeWorksStudio]

The good old days!

[@andrewharper1609]

The Pro Nob would definitely contain Lead.

[@andrewharper1609]

As someone who's Dad was in quality control at Rowntrees, Polo's were based on an American mint (Sen Sen I think) which the US government shipped presses for so the US troops could have home comforts during one of the wars, I forget which. Polo holes were an in joke which were made in the '90's if I remember rightly but I have no knowledge of a US equivalent.

[@vilmosgrooper3689]

You don't have to worry about the old metal models, there is a tin alloy.

[@johnclarke25]

Great and funny vid again,the eldar was released as a musician as the pipes go to organ pipes on the rear,there was one playing a harp and one with a synthetic for a command unit.i have painted up a couple of mentor legion to go with a rogue trader hero and a large retenue of imperial guard and a 100 or so original squats for a force,the tank turret I belive is from a tamiya British matilda tank and most of the rest scratch built,the wheels are proberly jar lids as it was what we had to do then not like what's available now for all you johnny come latelys.

[@bretticus6722]

Been buying some old metal Eldar Phoenix Lord's because of scale creep they make great Exarchs😀

[@SnakeWorksStudio]

Which Craftworld do you paint them as?

[@bretticus6722]

@SnakeWorksStudio Created my own the Brayteal Craftworld they are mostly eggplant purple with gold helms and weapons I paint the shoulder and knee pads screamer pink with glowing green eyes and power weapons and I made up a custom symbol for them

[@andrewharper1609]

For the last one the front 'sheep's is clearly from a Steamroller, the front Turret was made from a ping pong ball and the turret was probably from a tank the owner had chopped or broken the barrel off.

[@andrewharper1609]

Wheel

[@SnakeWorksStudio]

I was looking for the sheep!!!

[@kwest9747]

The green Khorne marine’s loin cloth seems to have a Pokéball detail sculpted out. How preeminent.

[@oldorcsneverdie4854]

Tyranids were definitely a thing in Rogue Trader and that chaos marine could very well be using a captured Tyradid/Zoat weapon.

[@evanlindsey1100]

That tank could be a Rhino kitbash, but there's a chance it could be using a kit representing seveal vehicles based on the Thiokol Snowcat, possibly the Battlestar Galactica Landram.

[@SnakeWorksStudio]

I did not know there were ground vehicles in Battlestar Galactica! which version?

[@evanlindsey1100]

The original 1978 version. The Landram wasn't the first vehicle to use the snowcat chassis. The 60s Lost in Space show had an exploration vehicle called the Chariot that was built off of a snowcat.

[@andrewharper1609]

The Eldar with the 'supersoaker' was in fact wielding a Flamer.

[@Halberd1216]

Looking through these old 40K models is great fun. Also quite by chance, someone in my local area is going to get a great deal soon as I am getting rid of all my collected White Dwarf issues that I started collecting from edition 98 onwards. The Fire Hawks " legion of the Damned ", the Mentor Legion, models showing 4 legged Eldar titans.....all amazing stuff.

[@adambeckett8394]

The Chaos Space Marine mini was at a time when that green colour was a big favourite for Chaos models - there were lots of Warhammer fantasy Chaos Warriors painted the same colour by GW's studio painters. The organic looking bolter was a nod to both the cover art from WD, and to the illustrations in the original Realms of Chaos Hardback, Slaves to Darkness. Tyranids were about by then (a couple of blister releases, and the 'nid warrior prototype and Zoat models featured in the Rogue Trader Hardback), but they were still experimenting with the CSM look at that time - no two models looked the same, and by today's standards, they'd all be considered as massively OP - they all had a very "chosen" or "possessed" look to them.

[@andrewharper1609]

I remember dry brushing.

[@SnakeWorksStudio]

You dont do it anymore???

[@marvinprice6476]

Thumbs up for the hat 👍

[@SnakeWorksStudio]

Aha thank you very much! will you be getting one yourself?

[@andrewharper1609]

I'm a long standing Off player and I can in fact confirm Evil Suns were Red, Orange was the highlight shade, courtesy of the Blood Angels.

[@SnakeWorksStudio]

Did you play Evil sunz or a mix of all?

[@richardbradley2335]

2:20.....pretty sure its Ground Zero Games stargrunt model

[@andrewharper1609]

The organic mutation thing is probably an HR Giger reference ( the dude that inspired Alien). In the original Realm of Chaos books you could get Tyranid mutations probably so they could sell his bits to Chaos Players.

[@SnakeWorksStudio]

That makes sense! I am a big fan of Gigers work.

[@dalefoster4561]

Love the sarky p-ss take tone. Excellent work/fun - Good effort

[@andrewharper1609]

With Chaos marines I always tend to favour the symbol over the armour colour. He obviously simply hasn't yet she'd enough Blood for the Blood God or added enough Skills for the Skull Throne to have earned his Red yet.

[@asdf9890]

I’m an aircraft modeler. That dozer blade looks like it’s off of a P51 Mustang, maybe? Anyway, I enjoyed your video. Just subbed.

[@herculeholmes504]

Was it perhaps the Super Soaker CPS 2000? I bought my sister one of those for her birthday. She was a public menace for a month.

[@SnakeWorksStudio]

I did a little googling and it was the super soaker 100!

[@sumosix]

3:34 the scratch built tank at the beginning of the video was on display in the original Games workshop in Sheffield towards the bottom of the Moor around ‘87 or so.

[@SnakeWorksStudio]

Has it gone now?

[@sumosix]

Yeah, it’s not in the current store. I did take me back to being 12 again seeing it 👍🏻

[@goforitpainting]

Cool ⚔

[@h.s.lafever3277]

the ork vehicle at end of vid is based off of an old model kit for the russian troika (spelling) 3 wheeled farm tractor. heavily converted

[@therealorkdung]

I believe, though never be able to dig it up, the Marines face, or ALL Space Marines faces (for Rogue Trader) were explained at one point; essentially Moon Face or Cushing's Syndrome due to all the drugs pumped into them. There was...a specific article/thread on this years and years ago, if memory serves. Then...they went grim-dark and heroic, and everyone had to look Angelic. Ahh the sweet sweet pain and whimsy of being a Rogue Trader Marine. A better Marine, IMO. Sigh...just my opinion.

[@SnakeWorksStudio]

Would you prefer a return to the old style of marines?

[@therealorkdung]

I would. It is Fantasy though, so does it really matter that, officially GW has it's Angelic Angels, and I perhaps, have my Rogue Trader era Marines (or play in that sandbox), no it does not. To each their own. 🙂 @@SnakeWorksStudio

Fun times with snakewords tv

[@SnakeWorksStudio]

Works! Words is my educational channel.

[@carlesriberaberenguer7469]

@@SnakeWorksStudiooh yes snakeworks! Sorry :*

[@mraide]

The good old days when you could kit bash and everything looked cool - not does GW sell it, no well you can't use it

[@SnakeWorksStudio]

Did you enjoy kitbashing?

[@mraide]

@@SnakeWorksStudio Loved it mate, chopping up Starwars toys, airfix kits and whatever it needed - Rouge Trader was excellent for having tables to generate vehicles of whatever you wanted, flyers, tracked transport, hoverboards!

[@L3GHO5T]

I have that exact model at 4:50 he’s on my hobby desk right now with just the tentacle painted. Put him off to the side when I couldn’t decide what legion to paint him. One of my favourite chaos marine sculpts of all time. Unfortunately I don’t have the correct backpack for him though

[@wonderboy2402]

It’s a shame we only see one side of these kit bashes!

[@speedhump231]

The marine was not taking a piss, but reading the road sign.

[@HO-bndk]

Reading the road sign while taking a piss. 😊

[@walterpalladino1965]

The Ork Vehicles was no doubt inspired on the Wacky Races "The Army Surplus Special"

[@Dingusmaningus]

I feel like they kept the okder wepon look for death guard even to now.

[@JamesLaserpimpWalsh]

Thats a Panzer mk 4 turret.

[@hardrada8407]

Is there a place you could buy a plastic version of the chaos marine at 5:20?

[@kateadams5574]

he's got major similarities to the plastic Chaos Space Marines in Space Crusade who are only a little smaller than current Heresy Mk6

[@flindude2681]

the last vehicle 18:50 looks allot like a lee tank en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3_Lee

[@johncolvin2754]

Goffs were red evil sunz were orange yellow? Idk realy just a guess

[@adambeckett8394]

If I remember right, that model was released before GW came up with all the Ork Clans, but Orks were said to love bold colours, and red was a fave for painting them. So it was probably red for red's sake!

[@SonySteals]

Too bad he forgot to ask people to leave a comment

[@OldNightTavern]

Sorry man, that track you have playing very low in the background made me jump ship, it was to low to hear and to high to ignore.

[@TheSuburbanScumbag]

Interesting I thought Nob with orks meant "Not Ordinary Boy" cause they were big uns. But that makes sense, I'm sure we serfs referred to the aristocracy as The Nobs back in the day. Those vehicles were great I liked the bulk of the first one. That IS Fred Astaire and a very well painted one at that. That Eldar warrior was also in White Dwarf 99 under the name Taal Spellsinger. Very cool mini

[@SnakeWorksStudio]

naughty old bastards? Novice or bust? Nasty old bats?

[@TheSuburbanScumbag]

@@SnakeWorksStudio Naughty old bastards is a winner

[@manosanastasiou4405]

I opened the white dwarf centurions edition today to paint a centurion the 1 with a difficult face i manged to replicate him 💯 per cent as the look of the hole kit relys on that 1 tiny component if you ask me how ever after looking through the painting guide in the back they only leave him half done 😅

[@SnakeWorksStudio]

Which white dwarf was it?
