Rescuing Chaos Space Marines

[@matte909]

I dont even play tabletop wargames, or have any special intrest in warhammer but i always admire and love to watch miniature painters !

[@BEELZEBRO666]

Said it before but this is seriously my favourite channel on yt atm, please keep it up! Loving the content.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

That’s great man, thank you :) I plan on continuing for as long as possible!!

[@gitgoodpainting6135]

First addition, crimson fist beaky marines. Bolters, flamers and rocket launchers and a stance so wide that it would make a lead guitarist in an 80's rock band green with envy

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Lol they really had that 80s vibe down back then. You still have any of those minis laying around? I’d love to see you paint one of those up!

[@karlwalton3936]

When I first learned of Games Workshop, it was back around 2000 during 3rd edition. I jumped right in the hobby along with my father and younger brother. I started with Ultramarines and Tyranids, my brother with Dark Eldar and Orks and my father went with Necrons and Sisters of Battle. Yeah, none of us could commit to one army. We liked variety and painting different models. In the end, I'm the only one who still hobbies to this day. As for nostalgia, I'd have to go with the Sisters. I played many games with my father; most of which ended with him thoroughly kicking my ass. (I was 15/16 at the time with no concept of tactics. Still don't, tbh.) So I look back at how well they played and the devotion he spent to painting them and learning their lore with a wistful smile on my face. I'm actually excited for when the new Sisters finally come out. I'll be painting a small detachment in his honor.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

What a great story! Thank you for sharing that, having your family to paint and play with must have been a fantastic experience ( aside from everything else that comes with playing any game with family lol) I’m still trying to get my dad to build his train set and table. He was always been into model trains, always wanted to set up a board with real terrain, but alas, I am the only one who does hobby in my family.

[@humblebumble6535]

Those colour change paints are so beautiful! A friend of mine who got me into 40k had the dark vengeance pack, and he would let me play dark angles as trade for painting his models. Every time I pick up a dark angle to paint (especially the bikes) it completely renewes my passion for the hobby ^_^

[@markpullan3202]

Nostalgia moment for me is whenever I see a Whirlwind. Takes me back to converting a Rhino for 1st edition based on instructions in White Dwarf 117. (I still love the MLRS look of the original).

[@LurkMoar101]

YES! Someone else used those instructions too! Cutting a dreadnaught base in half and using them as the tubes.

[@MorimurAng2]

Black Templars in 40k. My first army in 4th ed. Most nostalgic mini its Imperial Champion. In FB its Lizards. The first warhammer army in my life. It was in 2004, after one year of collect and paint, i came in my first warhammer club). Thx for this memories.

[@WellandJoyceArtist]

Tau. When I was 5 my dad bought me a white dwarf mag. It was around the time tau was first coming out so the magazine was filled with tau stuff. I thought it was the coolest thing I’d ever seen. I looked at this magazine so regularly when I was a kid, as you do when you’re a kid with too much time and not enough to read. They hold a special place in my heart for nostalgias sake.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

I definitely know that feeling, so much time buried in one or two magazines trying to get the most out of it. Especially White Dwarf at the time being almost $20 US, I needed to get my monies worth lol.

[@WellandJoyceArtist]

eBay Miniature Rescues haha yeah you’re right. Anyway, great video, man. You always make awesome videos that make my day better. Keep it up :)

[@dansmith4766]

Chaos space marines were my first models I ever bought when I was like 12 or something. Just bought the new sculpts last week and I love them so much!

[@crunchykevlar]

I still don't know how I stumbled on this channel but absolutely love these videos, keep it up

[@Shootkicksass]

Same, he's killing it

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Haha thanks!!

[@ExileDCC]

I just started experimenting with Green Stuff World’s color shifting metallics on some second hand Eldar and I found Vallejo Gloss Black to work quite well as an undercoat. As you said in the video though, I learned the hard way in some spots to go really really slowly and build those layers nice and light. Great job with these old minis, I know a lot of folks are ditching them for the new hotness, but there’s still something charming about these older sculpts. My most nostalgic army is my first from late fourth edition 40K: Imperial Guard. Back then infantry squads and sentinels could deep strike in. It wasn’t the most powerful thing but it was fun. Right behind that for me was Dark Eldar.

[@csands79]

Blown away with the final result as usual!

[@flanky]

I got a Greater Demon of Khorne when I was eleven... Loved that model sooo much but couldnt figure out how to glue or to paint it... Now Im 2 years in the Hobby again and boy Im going to revisit that Khorne/World Eaters army definitely once again!

Yup, 4th edition for me too. Elder (my first army) and Orks (my best friend’s army). Great to see these classic traitor marines brought to life so well!

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Eldar was my first too, still have all of them, they are pretty nasty too lol. Might have to do a personal rescue at some point!

[@rifledude303]

eBay Miniature Rescues would love to see that video! For some reason 4th Edn Viper jetbikes always drew me in back then...

[@ArtOfDuane]

I have those kind of memories of fighting against my buddie's blood angels space marines. My first army was necrons back in the end of 3rd/start of 4th edition and we played a ton after high school and on weekends.

[@danieljohansson9419]

Tau was my first ever army, so always brings me back seeing fire warriors :) Started at their launch back in third

[@joahnaut]

Orcs and Goblins and High Elves, from 4th ed Fantasy. Also my 2nd edition Blood Angels.

[@Trukkerkeps]

O&G from 4th ed WHFB for me as well. Bought it on a trip to London back in 92. It had just released apparantly. Also Imperial Guard and Squats for Space Marine (Epic).

[@johnashley-smith4987]

Wild paint job man! Those colour shifting paints look perfect for some of the traitor chapters. As for nostalgic armies, myself, I started into the game with the second edition box set so it is classic space marines and orks that get me misty eyed with nostalgia. I had the original "Rogue Trader" back in 87' but no one I knew was interested in playing it ! Anyhow, cool video and wicked paint job.Thanks!

[@75randomdan75]

3rd edition is when i used to collect. I have recently gotten back to painting again and i had so many models put together but not painted and i have repainted my old school blood letters. Its really full filling now having them finally looking how i always wanted them to look as i was such a bad painter then lol

[@Erlingar1]

Definitly Lizardmen. My brother and some of his friends had them. It was always cool to watch them paint... That was 15 years ago, just started painting again (now I'm painting nurgle) and a friend came over with some of his old unused figurines. When he opened his bag and I saw all the lizardmen I was suddenly 9 years old again for a moment.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Ahh the lizardmen, kinda wish they were still called that.

[@CosmicDuskWolf]

I dont have an air brush but I do love my color shift paints. I think my most nostalgic would be either walking into the game shop and seeing Necrons when they first came out back in what 2002, 03 or 04. Then saying those look really cool. One of those years. Or when I played my first and only game back in 05.

[@Kurgol]

Loved this video, maximum nostalgia for me is 2nd edition blood bowl miniatures, anything sculpted by Jes Goodwin!

[@LurkMoar101]

Memories, I ended up buying the entire Albion Assassins team back in the early 90s just from seeing a single picture of them in an old White Dwarf mag.

[@SheepWaveMeByeBye]

Goblin green. Stuck in the teeth of an old friend who was the first brushlicker I met. Blood Bowl orcs. Green skin painted by me. My little sister got to pick the other colours, so I had pastel pink and purple orcs. Jungle fighters hailing from the world of Stearoidus IV. 2000 pts chaos fantasy army consisting of 11 miniatures. High Elf bolt throwers everywhere.

[@TemberGundam]

More and more excited to see my kit! Another great job!

[@PavelPinzhin]

Almost 20 years ago, when I came to know of Warhammer (both of them), the hobby and everything, - all I wanted for myself is a mounted Archaon mini. And that's all. I wanted to have it and I'd be happy for all the eternity. And to get it, for that time it was not a meager quest, being a poor student in post-90th Russia. Years slowly passed, I got my Archaon, got many more, got Citadel paints, all that nice stuff, made quite a few wargaming friends, painted my first minis, painted a lot more minis for friends, visited local and national events and have organized some; lived through WHFB editions from 5 to 8; sold my soul to Tzeentch; Warhammer: Online came and gone, gifting me the best Tzeentch paint scheme ever; almost completed my Mortal Chaos army by the time FB died; sold everything Warhammer related (save for some characters and heroes); have been really skeptical about AoS; found my old box of stashed characters and heroes; found this channel. Got my interest for painting re-kindled. Looking eager towards the AoS gaming, when found out that some of my old friends do play it now... Yeah. Sounds like a whole life to me. Still haven't painted my Archaon.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Wow, that’s pretty incredible! Welcome back to the hobby! I don’t get to play very often but I really enjoy AOS. Very flexible and there are worth while moments in there. That Archaon is still playable :)

[@lostnfound4125]

That unit turned out amazing! Great rescue!

[@tattooeddragon]

Great video as always! My nostalgia army came in the form of the original "Beakies" back in the day. I had no real idea about the game then or how to play, but I loved collecting and painting the minis!

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

The old beakies are iconic! When I started I really had no idea how to play, I’m pretty sure we made it up most of the time lol, but man, it was such a good time painting and playing :)

[@tattooeddragon]

@@eBayMiniatureRescues I didn't know there was a game that went with them! It was only after I had painted several squads that my buddy pointed out what they were for.

[@BAGG8BAGG]

[@blakec1924]

Great work on saving them from the dust. I was never a GW guy in my past, so no old school memories to share, but here is hoping AoS or Warcry gives me some down the line.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Nothing wrong with that, I grew up seeing model trains from my grandfather and father, it didn’t quite pass down to me, but the hobby spirit is there :) I’m know AOS is an entry into the hobby for a lot of people, I already have pretty good memories of that first starter and rule sheet, something so different about it and having that Wild West feeling when everyone started playing. Such a good time to be in the hobby!

[@HectorLopezSM]

Wow!!!! Just......wow!!!! You keep impressing me.

[@pieterlesch2089]

My first 40k stuff was a gorkamorka ork set in the late 90’s. I still have them and still chuck the odd model in when I play.

[@romankovbasniuk1826]

I actually have a whole OOP boxed set of CSM in an alpha legion scheme. I'm glad the chapter is starting to see more action.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

There’s been a ton of Alpha Legion stuff lately, it’s such a different feel for CSM and I think people are finally starting to look for cleaner brighter colors for them. Pretty refreshing :)

[@jeffdave8884]

Wow, what a transformation, I admit when the colour-shift paint first went on I thought they were going to end up looking like circus clowns but you really balanced it all out fantastically. Great piece of painting there the squad looks amazing.

[@last9up]

When I was in high school about 10 years ago some of my friends introduced me to Warhammer. I didn't have a lot of money but I did get to buy an Imperial Guard codex. Still have a soft spot for Cadians and the Death Korps of Krieg :)

[@PraetorGix]

Ahh, this are the vids I watch this channel for. This is a true rescue, horribly painted minis with a centimeter of dust on them, given a new lease on life. When you just get a new mini whose only flaw is missing package it feels like cheating. Great work on these!

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Thank you! I know what you mean, this was more of a true rescue as opposed to the grey plastic ones I’ve done in the past. I try really hard to get minis like this one on the channel and there have been some great ones sent in recently. I’m super excited for the next few months of minis, some really exciting stuff on the way :)

[@BAGG8BAGG]

Space Marines, blood angels and the commando guys with their lasguns and weird walkers.

[@MadShamanLodur]

I've been playing since Second Edition. My most nostalgic army is my Dark Angels second company army. I had 40 land speeders, since they could be taken as troops back then in a Ravenwing Army. I still have all of them. fully metal and heavy enough to crush a foot if they fall. Thought about reviving them for a display piece at the FLGS as they were painted way back in the 90's and could definitely use a rescue.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

That would make for a very epic army on the table, you should definitely fix those up and put them on display, most people walking into a game store have no idea things like that even exist anymore!

[@LurkMoar101]

My first miniatures were the original lead Deathwing Terminator squad. Then a few random Inquisitor Terminators, then a couple of Chaos Terminators. We were very limited 20+ years ago to what was available here in Australia when it came to GW stuff, so when we did get it you needed to take out a loan to afford it. I ended up with a Space Marine army, along with a pair of Dreadnaughts and a Rhino converted into a Whirlwind. Also ended up with a full Eldar army from Adeptus Titanicus, along with the best Eldar titan model ever made. All lead/metal. Also have a boatload of plastic Genestealer models as well due to getting right into Spacehulk at the same time.

[@joebenedict4980]

A lot of my nostalgia comes from Tau in sixth edition. I got into warhammer through a buddy at college and the shop I played at primarily sold tau. So I didn’t know many of the races in warhammer existed until after I had played with people outside my core friend group. Since then I’ve been a hardcore iron hands fan, it would be cool to see you paint a vintage IH model!

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

I would love to paint an Ironhand mini, I really like the simplicity of the dark color under shining silver.

[@JasemCatrall]

[@thorney0921]

Wow!! I am really impressed with the colour changing paint. Definitely going to look for some.

[@heliosretro4545]

I recommend only getting them if you have an airbrush. Theyre not very good to put down with a paintbrush, as they dont thin down very well, and the colorshift is intensely muted if its brushed on.

[@thorney0921]

a Striking Scorpion Exarch with a Bitting Blade making 52 Wound rolls on a Commissar. Back in 3rd/4th Edition.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

I still have a squad of Striking Scorpions with the Exarch that I haven’t finished painting, I got them back then too. I had heard they were good, but I didn’t know they did that kind of damage!! I’m thinking now I didn’t know how to read, or my friend was cheating me out of wounds lol.

[@tiredwolf900]

Dont really have a nostalgic army so to speak but the models from Dark Vengeance bring back a lot of memories for me. I'd been interested in the hobby for ages before 6th edition from playing the old MB space crusade board game and the first dawn of war, but dark vengeance was the first box I ever picked up. Still have my original set plus two extra chaos forces and one dark angels force from friends who sadly didn't stay with the hobby.

[@texm3ch88]

These models do take me back to when I put them together. I managed to muster up some bits from a friend of mine, but I was a little short of bits to put together a full ten man. They were my first set of models I ever kit bashed. In order to make an amazing 10 man squad of chaos space marines, I had to use what little bits I had of my loyalist space marines to get the job done. They were fun to play with in 6th edition. Big thanks to Jonathon S. for providing paints that make the aqua effect look amazing on these marines. Another big thanks to Casey for painting these models and giving them the life they deserved, when they were fighting on the table.

I don't specifically remember the edition. May have been 5th. But I remember the thin codexes the blood angels and dark angels had. An I wanted to collect both of them. The tactical squads back then had a mix of plastic and white metal parts for heavy weapon options and the sergeant was metal for the dark angels as well I think.

[@paul-bi4rb]

Space Wolves man, I started playing them at the tail end of the 4th ed back when they had that really thin supplementary codex and they are the only army I ever played. Maybe bought a few models of other armies to paint and have some fun with but I always went back to the Wolves.

[@hendrikg6003]

I´m still surprised that you use pure colors almost in each project. I mix in each color a little drop of the most dominating color, so all colors fit more together. This works pretty good for me. But you present me in almost each project you have done so far, that this is totally not necessary. I mean, those chaos space marines are almost pure metal, there is not much to mix in the greenstuffworld shift colour. Thats fine, this is an extraordinarily choice of colours and so a very special project. But in your other projects you dont mix colours very often. Always nice to see other artists at work and to compare my own techniques. I pretty much always like your results. Great job at this one! I definitely gonna try out that black oil wash. Looks handy to not destroy previous work.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

It’s true I try to stick to out of the pot colors, mostly because I have so many that I can usually find what I’m looking for really quickly. The only time I really start mixing colors is when I’m doing a lot of airbrush work. Mixing in the pot saves time and yields better results when trying to build a transition. I never really thought about it from a viewer perspective, thanks for opening that up for me :)

Do you have a video showing the process of stripping the minis? Im struggling with using a toothbrush and alcohol and was wondering what you do

[@thefenrisianssweatshop]

It was 2nd ed that got me started in gaming. So I guess that boxes marines and orks were my first army projects. However it was wfb that set the hook deep. Chaos was the army and it took me years to complete. 3 in total. Now some 30 years later I’ve painted an entire 2000pts or so worth of wolves and the the damned thing just keeps on expanding. 🤣 but I don’t lash myself into any one thing or range now. And in that time I think I can safely say I’ve painted most if not something from every race In The Warhammer worlds. and more besides. I saw mention of space marine stances so wide 80s metal bands would be jealous, and that’s where it all started really. Bow legged, exaggerated Pose super soldiers. It was so different to anything then, and still is wonderfully unique to this day. And I must admit to scouring eBay many, many times for something to really cut my teeth in terms of building and as I’m sure you’ve found in doing your excellent videos, restorations. Currently awaiting the treatment are an original (tbc) Bjorn the fell handed dread, a 94 landspeeder and a squat medic. Although not an eBay find as such but a gift from a good mate.

just curious what you use to strip models down to primer? I have a giant ultrasonic to do vehicle (i kitbash ork stuff), but i currently use simple green heated to about 150 and run it for an hour. would this work if i just ran it longer, of does nothing bring off primer? Also, is there a trick to break down super glue? thanks and great content, you are like my jedi master and an ork kit bash guy!

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

The heat seems to help, 150 is probably more than enough too. I use LA's Totally Awesome, it works much better than Simple Green in my experience. Maybe switch to that and see if it will cut through that primer! The other option is to try something even stronger, just not in the sonic cleaner, like 99% isopropyl alcohol, let that soak for a bit, and then try the sonic cleaner to see if it will budge. I've also found that if you can get paint off down to the primer then it's usually alright to go over it with paint at that point, unless it's just overly thick or something, but generally primer stays thin regardless of who put it on. Just keep trying and see what happens, it should come off sooner or later :)

The 2 armies most primed for a comeback too :) new plastic sisters are very soon and the rumors are Bretonnia isn’t dead...still rumors, but we can always hope they are real!

I've been holding off collecting a new army for the plastic sisters for ages now! the metal ones had just been released when i started collecting white dwarf, they lost all their battle reports but i loved their aesthetic - serephim and immolators are just so cool!

Hey, can you recommend a good but cheap paint stripper maybe under $7

[@MasonPeatross]

For acrylic paint use Simple Green, found at most hardware stores.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

I use LAs Totally Awesome. I switched from simple green, partially because I find it gives better results, and it’s cheaper in the US, about the same everywhere else. In the US it’s $1 a bottle where Simple Green tends to be around $3.

Hello god!

[@mdrumt]

Can I ask what chemicals you use and process to strip plastic models?

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

I’m using LAs Totally Awesome in a Sonic Jewelry Cleaner. Drop them in and 15 minutes later I clean them with a toothbrush. Very effective and quick way to strip minis.

Having started in 8th edition, I feel so out of place! @_@

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

It was an interesting time back then lol.

[@noxtenembris9131]

May I ask what are you using to clean your models from previous paint?

[@ExileDCC]

It looks like a sonic cleaner loaded up with some LA’s Totally Awesome.

[@Orkimedes87]

how do you remove paint on plastic miniatures??

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

I use LAs Totally Awesome in a sonic jewelry cleaner. Also, 99% isopropyl alcohol will take paint off of anything!

How do you clean off the paint???

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Personally I use LAs Totally Awesome in a Sonic Jewelry Cleaner. 97% isopropyl alcohol is also a very good way to do it.

@@eBayMiniatureRescues Thank you, i appreciate that you took the time to reply :) Love the videos!

What kind of paints do you use

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Games workshop, Vallejo, army painter, p3...pretty much anything that’s made for models. They all have their strengths and weaknesses, but they are all good for minis. I also use a variety of inks and pigments.

What do you use to remove the old paint?

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

I like to use a concentrated cleaner called LAs Totally Awesome. It works really well if you let the models soak for a couple of days. I do prefer to use the same solution but in a sonic jewelry cleaner, then it only takes around 15minutes to an hour for the same result.
