I wish the plastic Rogue Trader 'beakie' space marine sets were still available. Pure nostalgia!

[@SnakeWorksStudio]

Yes! Did you have one of them?

[@gavinjames1145]

@@SnakeWorksStudio I had many! They were my first 40K models.

[@SnakeWorksStudio]

@gavinjames1145 do you still have them?

[@gavinjames1145]

@@SnakeWorksStudio Unfortunately not. They were lost many years ago.

[@dalefoster4561]

@@SnakeWorksStudio I have some. First models. Embarrassing. Can send pictures. Had a metal dreadnought I wrote "Kill" on and "F*** You" as it seemed mature at the time

The Ork diorama is my favourite. So nice!

[@SnakeWorksStudio]

Do you collect orks?

[@xyonblade]

When I saw the sword on the eldar, it made me think of a second grip/handle for getting different grip angles on it.

[@johnclarke25]

The boar riding figure is a halfling from the adventures range coverted with a metal boar,still got a full battle company of womble heads in my armies and a unopened box of them,thats the hinesight of age is dont get rid of anything as my collection goes back to rogue trader and first edition warhammer.

[@SnakeWorksStudio]

A good tip! I wish you had told me 30 years ago!

[@stevewingate3023]

The converted orc looks like it's probably a 1980s Uruk-hai from the Citadel Middle Earth Range. The 'magazine's on the Eldar's chain sword is a handle, and the Blood Angels sergeant was painted by Ally Morrison (if memory serves me well).

[@theniibl1604]

1988 ME44 Jes Goodwin Uruk-Hai, probably #7 from the WD99 catalogue ad.

[@svenv460]

0:41 is sir Vikas Ingram. From the command range. Labelled as officer, but sometimes referenced as a champion. 6:40 is shorty the rt ratling.

[@SnakeWorksStudio]

I need to look those up!

[@DonnyV]

Sick burn on your last manager 🤣

[@bionicgeekgrrl]

12:34 is a plasma cannon rather than rocket launcher i think as it has the vents plasma weapons had.

[@ironbomb6753]

Late 80's....my most favoritest time in the hobby EVER! ❤

[@SnakeWorksStudio]

It was a great time wasn’t it!

[@Hugme778]

Plinths are like black bars for a movie. Gives it a more cinematic feeling but if its too big its distracting

[@SnakeWorksStudio]

A good comparison!

[@toooldfortwowheels2048]

Oh lord. I had the Combat Cards for Orks and Goblins and Space Marines. That Squat Warlord was one of the best cards, next to the inquisitor. I owned every squat unit in triplicate for Epic... Then they got Squatted. That's when I walked away from GW for over 20 years.

[@SnakeWorksStudio]

Do you still have the minis?

[@xyonblade]

The cover art for "dark millenium" supplement of 2nd edition had a white and green armored dark angels captain/officer.

[@kwest9747]

In some publications it is written the space marine commander is wearing desert camouflage, but I reckon it looks more like a beaten up ‘non-metallic’ gold effect.

[@OldHammerMiniPainter]

Never kept marine tanks but i do love me a planted aquarium, got the aquascaper 1200 with co2 injection, over 50 species of plants and over 300 individual plants, no rocks or wood anywhere, just lovely green and red plants, set up 4 years ago and now just doing its own thing, though i do have to maintain it weekly, so much trimming, i did have a lovely carpet of monte carlo growing but what with the addition of corydoras, and air bubbles, my carpet used to float away eventually and made it look so untidy, so i removed those plants and replaced with lots of micro anubius. The corys do still dislodge the occasional plant but i love my catfish, ill forgive them anything, and they get along with my endler guppies so well 😃

[@SnakeWorksStudio]

That sounds like a lot of maintenance work!

[@OldHammerMiniPainter]

@@SnakeWorksStudio it did initially, trimming and changing the water took me 3 hours almost, now i can do both within 45 minutes, but i spend most cleaning time getting rid of the horrible limescale that builds up on the tank and glass filtration system, , which really does f@%$!*& irk me 🤬

[@LeeHobbies]

I remember the unknown miniature, but it's vague, my first thought was a kind of sci-fi ogre/ogryn. I do feel that's right, the detail for the time (look at the laces etc) suggests it's larger than man-size as well. So yeah, I feel like it was an early Ogryn.

[@SnakeWorksStudio]

I think you might be right!

[@CharlesMarlow1898]

PLEASE, enter Golden Demon with a squad of 10 RTB01!!!

If it fails to meet some kind of rule on entry it'd be legal in the open category.

[@gabrielplattes6253]

I had that first Squat - I am 98% (my memory might be faulty) sure that wasn't a conversion.

[@gabrielplattes6253]

Mind, I might just be recalling that image in the White Dwarf instead! Hrmmm...

[@ThroatSore]

I the UK. How do you say the word 'Worm'?

[@SnakeWorksStudio]

Worm!

[@FezFindie]

Those new names can be seen as the snooty "upper class/Upper Gothic" terms for what's stood before anyway, as the old names haven't been erased in-context or anything.

[@SnakeWorksStudio]

A good call! do you prefer the "snooty" terms?

[@FezFindie]

@@SnakeWorksStudioI use'em interchangeably or depending on context. Whichever rolls off at the moment.

[@FezFindie]

@@the98themperoroftheholybri33 As said, it's a fancypants term that can make one go "Who even calls'em that? Besides maybe something like the Mordians or the Volpone Bluebloods when they're not busy sniffing on their own farts".

Calling them "Tie-ranids" does make a little sense... since they were originally alien tyrants...

[@bionicgeekgrrl]

Though modern lore is the name comes from the planet tyran.
