I listened to that red dwarf book recently it was fantastic the second one was great too

9:04 you got a little audio/clip error. Love ya MWM.

[@princehades3378]

Thank you @Midwinter Minis for making fun and informational video, you inspired me to start my own 40k army (BA) and I can't thank you enough❤

[@Malganis85]

Don't forget to grab the Votann mini of the month to give it the same paint job!! Because, seriously, this might be the best paint job I've seen you do yet. That helmet visor was stunning.

[@MidwinterMinis]

Good idea! I'll have to sneak along to GW Colchester before the month is over

[@ErikWarhammer]

Do you have to buy something to get it? I've already blown my budget on the Army box and some other hobby bits.

[@robharrison838]

@@ErikWarhammer no its a free mini each month you just go in and ask

[@KompactKitty]

@@MidwinterMinis The mini drops tomorrow, you probably won't have very long 😬

[@riverdelavidawilliams9624]

This is what enabling addiction looks like😂

[@strochnis33]

I might be wrong, but to me, the Black Gobbo is posing as a little grey alien, Roswell-style, hence the triangular shape of the mask. Doesn't change the fact that it is a great and inspiring paint job, as usual.

[@ginganutjob]

that's how the OG was painted

[@Dahakra]

That horizon reflection in the helmet idea is fantastic

[@0hMax]

You win the game once you have 40,000 warhammers.

[@michaelmiller7928]

I love the little touches to your music. The acoustic version of one of your many original tracks is a great idea and fits the vibe of the video well.

[@aaronbourque5494]

Little dude looks like the kind of guy who'd charge into battle with a laugh and a bad joke, or chill in the shade with some beers. Perfect character sculpting.

[@matthewmckenzie9414]

I’ve been struggling with anxiety lately and seeing your donation to calm and watching this video itself made me really happy. My little brother and I love your videos and you have a massive influence on our painting. Keep up the good work Guy and thank you :)

[@dracometeors3010]

Hang on mate, know this to well.

[@stuartbailey2733]

anxiety im a classsic type 4 mate last time i was sectioned i found that out no idea what it means they prescribed 300mg of a pregabalin twice daily it really helps mat dont if that's what you wold want in your body bot it supports me mat anyway god bless mate keep the breathing exercises going and good luck

[@ChopsTV]

This is not only super cool but crushingly good execution. Holy cow.

[@Vox_Rhododendron]

What’s nice is that every video, you see Guy gradually improving and trying new things. That non-metallic chrome is really something.

[@francescosirotti8178]

The pink neon glow on the warhammer is what really sells the '80s look!

[@cristhianmlr]

- Last Squat GW ever made. - Necromunda Squats: are we a joke to you?

[@mattdeeley4302]

I was thinking this 😂

[@colmmarnell]

he mentions them in the video

[@cocoschannel2668]

Yes…yes you are

[@Grunilg]

Technically the last squat they made before the Leagues of Votann should be "Ragnir Gunnstein, Squat Ammo-jack" for Necromunda, released sometime 2019. E: should've watched to the end before deciding to be a smartass. Nicely painted Model.

[@jackhumbert4788]

Man this video brought back memories. Just dug out my version of this mini, still sat in the pile of shame 13 years later.

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Guy . 🐺

[@comradegreen6837]

You can really see the parts of the Squat identity that made it to the new Votann, that helmet in particular SCREAMS Votann. He'd definitely be right at home in a White-Dwarf themed Votann force.

[@jason2174]

I had a bunch of Squats back in the mid 80's. Lot's of fun.

[@oleww50]

Flesh wash AKA - jaundice in a bottle 🤣 still have some myself… stays on the shelf haha.

[@salamanda550]

Great, now I've got to find some way to re-watch several seasons of Red Dwarf now.

[@optimaximal]

Currently on Netflix and Amazon Prime in the UK!

[@IAIN1815]

Went GW HQ today...first time ever, (not really a GW player), ..Seeing this little figure brought a smile to my face and added a nice little touch to my visit! Thanks MWM.😁😁👍👍

[@soapmaster69]

6:01 the dad jokes are there already🤣

[@foreshame7370]

intriguing, i feel mildly jealous

[@ronnocrd]

I watch Red Dwarf around once a year because it reminds me of my childhood (I think we're about the same age 39) it's a little bitter sweet as it reminds me of my dad which can make me a little sad sometimes, but I'm glad I have those memories and will always love the show because of them. I'd love to see a Red Dwarf game, there's a ton of potential with them being on the red dwarf or going out in starbug to planets, and the weird characters and scenarios would make for really entertaining game options.

[@TebosBrushandColour]

Awesome Job. I Love this Mini.

[@kiesarisunny13]

Congrats Guy, you’ve finally become a true Warhammer

[@judeblack4360]

You could easily use this in a LoV army as a proxy for a Brokhyr Iron-master. He even has a fancy hammer!

[@LPP_YT]

Dude that visor is wonderful 👌. Can’t wait to see it up close.

[@GabaWocky]

I guess that's where they took inspiration for Grendles hammer in Necromunda as its almost identical! Awesome!

[@aaronbrown4275]

Pst! Black Gobbo's wearing a grey costume. Like the little grey aliens that people claim to see/get probed by. :D

[@cameronwillman4980]

That helmet is stunning!

[@tomalexander2710]

Had iOS ‘night shift’ mode turned on, so the Oompa Loompa skin looked even oranger - poor chap looked like he had just come back from the tanning salon until you fixed his face and I had fiddled about with the display settings. The end result is absolutely gorgeous, probably my favourite of your paint jobs so far. Glad such special miniatures end up in your hands for us all to see !

[@colbybastian17]

OMG The red dwarf book was actually my first experience with Red Dwarf! I didn't even know there was a show until college!

[@borednidus4389]

Recently binge watched a lot of Red Dwarf episodes, was nice to see it mentioned here, lol :)

[@KabinMiniatures]

That pink hammer and the reflection in the helmet... *mwah* Perfection!

[@exetercosplay]

That helmet visor **chefs kiss** Really great mini to find and love the overall paintjob 🙌

[@ragozzinehq]

The glowing hammer turned out amazing - well done!

[@richardkinkead7823]

Wow. That is so good.

[@neutricks]

That looks incredible!

[@Bl4ckBasecoat]

In my experience the shade of baby poop varies from that yellow beige, down to darker brown, and sideways to a light grayish green. Depending on the... Manufacturer's... Mood, status and general health.

[@harryhamilton298]

Thanks for the inspiration for the helmet visor.

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

Absolutely amazing. One of your best minis ever. Please speed paint more boxes or do more videos of these super rarer and hard to find minis. Keep up the great work.

[@kiruppert]

Oh man. I read the first three Red Dwarf books back in High School, back in the last century.

[@equos5060]

This single model looks better than the whole LOV miniature line...

[@Hartmansgrad]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who, after a similarly mispent childhood, has ended up with splattering of Red Dwarf in their taste of sci-fi. I'd love to see a terrain or modeling project that dips into that grungy BBC practical effects feel

[@wezab]

I have about ten of these Grombrindal minis. They were sold to people who subscribed to White Dwarf and had a different theme each year. I have him doing Cecil B Demill, a WWI flyer, one the first was him holding his foaming helmet as if he was in Bugman's Bar. There is the Vampire Slayer but that was fine cast. I have one in Ultra Smurf armour holding a mug of beer and standing next to a birthday cake of equal height in which a gobbo is about to jump out. Haven't painted them all yet. I only risk it when the inspiration hits.

[@NagYdw]

When he was announced at Games Day as the next year’s White Dwarf subscription model there was a lot of people murmuring “Squat”. It was exciting. It was a good Games Day. Didn’t see new Squats until the Necromunda Squat about a decade later though.

[@krystofvarada7336]

If you have trouble painting eyes, try a 0,1mm marker. I have been using them to paint all my eyes, and they make the pupil look round+are small enough to reach the eyes better than a brush

[@ironbomb6753]

Always enjoyable to watch you paint Guy, 👍

[@danielhiggins8697]

This is incredible work and easily my favourite model you have painted yet, well done!

[@stuarthanmer1178]

That is the yearly white dwarf exclusive Grombrindle model, which that year they gave a 40k feel The price was so high because you could only get him by buying the box which was a full years WD sub so if you didn't sub you couldn't get him and he was only available for 1 year because they changed him every year.

[@JelloMiniatures]

I love White Dwarf miniatures. So fantastic!

[@markgnepper5636]

Great stuff friend 👏 👍

[@commanderstorm8874]

And now it is entombed at GW headquarters in a display case to be seen by everyone forever

[@tombombadil9338]

That visor effect was awesome!

[@princexx_mishka98]

Those magenta runes 🤩🤩🤩

[@porcu12345]

Was really hoping the return of the Squats would have the same style as this mini. Instead we just got mini-primaris marine copies lol

[@michaeleberhard275]

What a guy 😀

[@CloudianMH]

pretty dang awesome.

[@MichaelThomas-we2zp]

Smeg lol, love it dude.

[@stuartbailey2733]

thank you for supporting the mental health charity's, I have 4 severe illnesses that I'm fighting its killed my life but watching your videos is helping me along with many others, I cant afford to collect my dream army hell not even a codex as I cannot work anymore but 1 day i might get my Krieg's going and by then hell i will be a master painters after 500+ hours of watching cracking painters like you sunshine anyway hatty looks happy and amazing and i hope the ankle biters are good god bless XX from the barmy army! :D

[@paulofreire7520]

Very cool! 👍🏻

[@pepito12345able]

I owe one of this 😁

[@Vyes]

I noticed at 9:04 there was a video error. Not serious enough to warrant a re-upload but look out for it in the future! Good video!

[@cx5_]

I was checking the comments if anyone else noticed and I actually found that Guy replied to a similar comment "Yeah, annoying but not worth rereleasing the video I suppose", you were spot on haha

[@amnesiaminis]

beautiful mini Guy!

[@demon1103]

"not sure there's enough there to expand to a full army" Me: Dunno what you're talking about. He'd make a great Engineer for a OnePageRules Dwarf Guild army XD.

[@jenniferbrender9972]

RED DWARF!!! I was already subscribed, but I knew it was the correct decision as soon as you mentioned it!!

[@exzendar2523]

Awesome work!!!

[@Slev00]

I find it unreasonably funny how you miss-thinned the (notoriously thick) flesh wash correctly. Just shows how much easier it is to use modern washes over the old inks.

[@angelbaitgames5427]

Chameleonic alien life forms? NO THANKS!

[@valbourne1797]

[@lloydmeakin372]

I actually got to see this in person a few months ago, it was awesome to look at, and pretty cool that your work was out on display, quite prominently too ^-^

Well now I have to start a rewatch of Red Dwarf. I'm on the other side of the world (Australia) but grew up with it too, and definitely one of the shows that shaped my sense of humour too. Flob a dob blib blob blib.

[@1madhammer]

I was at Warhammer World this weekend and pleasantly surprised to see this guy sitting in one of the cabinets in the store! The paint job looks just as good in person as it does in the video - awesome work!

[@ashg9023]

I have this boxed and wrapped still! Didn't even realise it was worth anything

[@twinkzilla-5356]

Woah! I have to say I think this might be the best single model you’ve done yet! It looks great!

[@BigMekDanskull]

Fantastic job on a lovely mini!

[@dinorenzo.7466]

The squat Is beautiful

[@iain.sm.c]

That dwarf wanted to Make the Imperium Great Again.

[@basedViking]

beautiful work

[@OlafMetal]

I'm also a huge Red Dwarf fan and I miss the tongue in cheek element of Warhammer. When I played Tyranids I named one of my Carnifexes Mr. Flibble. He was VERY cross.

[@alekszandor]

Hattie has infiltrated the Magic Kingdom I see. Clever strategy. Take over the recreational parts first will impact the enemy troops morale. 🤘

[@dracometeors3010]

Oh no, they are Ultras...

[@harveyevans8135]

Ahh red dwarf was such a good watch 🤣 the mini looks amazing too!

[@ShallowVA]

Always loved this model. The retro space helmet is so cool, and it's a unique style we haven't seen from the old Squats or the new Leagues of Votann.

[@C_harlie_J]

cor blimey this is insane!!!

[@Sam-vs2es]

Every year white dwarf did a subscription offer, and if youbpaid by direct debit, you got the "free" white dwarf model. My memories of the subscription service was dreadful, with magazines never arriving!

[@JWbrasser]

[@macs.9644]

Nice!!!!!! It looks great.

[@PraetorGix]

I reckon that after the NDA feud you and GW had, they're not gonna be... let's say, encouraged to give you anything at Warhammer World

[@vaepuer2290]

"Hey kids, It's me! Mr.Warhammer!"

[@michaelhammond1389]

Just went to Warhammer world today for the 1st time and I'm not going to lie I did kinda fan girl when I saw this mini on the shelf after watching this video a couple of months back lol but it was cool to also see stuff like the Warhammer quest diorama etc I remember seeing in the 90's white dwarfs

[@hazemangames]

Nice! But what about the necromunda squats that were released this year? Ironhead Squat Prospectors Gang!

[@Lemonhead209]

Man I love it.

[@makeshiftminis9090]

That first wash that you used on the squats face reminded me of nachos.

[@will_oak]

I can definitely recommend giving the Vallejo Metal Color range a go if you like the flowy, high-coverage silver ink approach. Cracking space-dwarf too!
