Would really love to buy stuff there but they one take credit cards. I'm European. We use Debit cards here.

[@make_it_epic]

@@knackigbrot hey there, sorry about this, its an issue that popped up due to how the new shipping system works, its being worked on by the platform developer and they said they should have a fix soon.

I hope the original owner sees that his models found a good home

came here to type this exact comment haha fingers crossed!

Dunno man, i liked the original better but atleast they are loved

[@STELEDAIM]

@@1991nio I think you may have watched the video backwards...

[@thedandyp]

I can imagine them going back to the second hand shelf, and the original painter walking by the shop and just thinking 'damn, I guess I was pretty good at painting afterall'.

[@somefallenleaves]

4:25 -but they dont look ✨special ✨ *pulls out coolest infiltrator ive seen*

[@bear9528]

exactly what I was thinking

[@_malprivate2543]

Super-sneaky stealth unit called "infiltrators"? Of course it's going to be painted in BRIGHT YELLOW on a purple planet! That's peak 40K, love it!

[@un7ucky]

Nids must be colour blind. its like Deer that cant see Orange from Green

[@PearlJam2k6]

It makes sense, any one spots them, they just yell "YOU CANNOT SEE ME, XENO FILTH." and put the fear of the God Emperor into them.

[@sladewilson6584]

Can’t see them if your eyes hurt just looking at them

[@euansmith3699]

@@PearlJam2k6 John Cena style? 😄😄😄👍

[@joshy7759]

Truly some Imperial Fists logic in the best way possible.

[@sabre0smile]

I so wanna see more of this kinda rescue-restoration... where the original isn't paintstripped and lost forever, it's just cleaned up a little, neatened here and there. Takes a lot of skill to blend a new paintset into an existing one. I loved this so much, keeping the original paint and all just made my soul happy.

[@merahkuningminis]

Another EoB W. Jay did it again. Instead of insulting and dunking a secondhand model's paintjob, he kept it positive as usual.

[@petermartin9224]

I've been in a bit of a painting funk these past few weeks, but Jay, your enthusiasm, is rubbing off. Tonight, we paint!

[@wengeance8962]

keep it up

[@user-hf6vf5gc5n]

I love watching as Jay goes from being avid black templars to slowly slipping to just painting space marines whatever colours.

[@ilmangiamandragole7857]

Wish my miniature shop had used minis too

[@jimbobfreddiewilson1]

Ah yes, Luminous yellow, the most stealthy of colours.

[@dataquid]

You dont need to be stealthy when you are walking cover.

[@slavaukraini1991]

Luckily the space marines are still broken and op

[@jimbobfreddiewilson1]

@@slavaukraini1991 lol what game are you playing? Space marines are pretty bad rn.

[@im_flat]

No one to report your position when they're all dead.

[@MrZangetsu1997]

Good thing yellow blends in with all colours of light, you can blind anyone if the yellow is bright enough 😂

[@troopergio]

I love buying pre-owned miniatures to add to my blood angels chapter project. I especially love buying people's converted space marines to add to it. I love the idea of having these miniatures with a history I dont know about before finding their way into my army.

[@Matt-md5yt]

That is awesome

[@Sonof_DRN2004]

You could totally turn those into imperial fists and get a small Last wall protocol detachment to go with your black Templars.

[@joshy7759]

Excoriators are SO COOL. I'm turning my artist action figure one into one even though I play Dark Angels cause they're so cool. For those who don't know: Bone color armored space Marines. Seems boring right? Cool part: Only damage that reduces the functionality of their armor is repaired. The rest is left and labelled with when where and what happened. So they just have this scarred armor with "lasrifle wound m39 whatever sector" "hormagaunt claw .... Etc all over

[@Cadiangrunt99]

This is the sort of thing I hope someday when I'm gone someone picks up my minis and keeps them going. People like you who do this are awesome.

[@iain.sm.c]

I think you did a great job of bring those bases to life, I'm sure that whoever owned these models would be very chuffed that you kept to their vision and were able to execute properly!

[@poprostujakub5487]

Since those Phobos guys are yellow and you are Black Templar player, you could always find explaination that they are squad of Unnumbered Sons of Dorn. You know, Greyshields, those fresh Primaris guys who haven't joined any chapter yet.

[@zeterzero4356]

Really love the enthusiasm for these and the mad respect you gave to their previous owner. Love love love the bright colors and coastline look. God bless you and your little menz.

[@augustotanaka]

Your enthusiasm and hapiness doing this always melt my heart. Thanks for everything Jay

[@dyslexichitman]

100% was a contrast paint, not base+wash like you thought. That looks exactly like how the yellow contrasts perform, or how they have for me! Also, I literally JUST got an order from epic basing! Thanks for being such a positive inspiration to my hobby!

[@zebracookies2444]

Hay, just sayen, black templars hail from emperial fists...

[@king_aeron]

Hey Jay, I think those are Marines Malevolent.

[@Matt-md5yt]

And they are awesomely done

[@Hugme778]

The best chapter for cool kids eho can actually party

[@krakenattacken8230]

I don't believe they are, normally the Marines malevolent have a black torso and yellow pauldrons

[@lightningwolf788]

I love used shelves at game stores. I've gotten so many models for my Orks and World Eaters, and even a lot for my less played armies. It's also nice to let friends know something they need is there too.

[@mogwiawolf4354]

Yes to the blue eyes works perfectly and love how they looked before and after

[@williamamely7038]

One has to admire your creativity, Jay. The touch ups, and enhancements you made to those models look great. Keep up the great work you do. 😊😊

[@vincentjackson3472]

Man, they look great... never thought id be a fan of yellow marines, but they slap! Nicely done

[@DodgyDodgyDodgy]

Love that used shelf, best spot for cheap stuff!

[@gewooneenchris]

I absolutely love these rescue videos! Please make a lot more of them

[@kosachilles2504]

I really love this! Its a breath of fresh air seening a unique paint scheme!

[@_wild_bill__]

Great video as usual! I appreciate you building a story for the minis and nice paint job!

[@petejobson5036]

That's such a good nugget of information about the white spray primer. I think thats spot on it dries in the air before hitting the model. I always wondered why sometimes my primer was dusty

[@billdefranza4927]

[@roegenhobby729]

Really great tutorial and explained on highlights. I want to make my repaint like yours in future!

[@chadfontaine2717]

Love the yellow and purple! Very well done!

[@Pilsudski_Tekken]

I love this type of content. Awesome job!

[@PraetorGix]

Nostalgia time! EoB doing weird and cool bases, it takes me back to simpler times :D

[@glizzy2.O]

I love the original paint and bases for their retro feel

[@joshy7759]

This is super encouraging to me: When I think about someone being skilled at the hobby or the like I'm worried they'll be able to x-ray in on my mistakes (they will, but thats okay). But this also reminds me that that equally comes with the abilitybto zoom in on whatever idea I had in mind, even if it isn't executed perfectly.

[@-TheMachineGod-]

Every time EOB uploads I get super inspired and say “today’s the day, I will finally get my word bearers finished and they will look amazing” I sit down at my painting desk and remember why I lost motivation to finish the guys in grey

[@cirno9349]

I think this might be the best mini rescue out there

[@mars8329]

I wish I was as lucky to get such cool stuff on a used shelf lol😋 Amazing paint job!

[@cals87]

Impeccable timing. I just starting assembling my Phobos squad for KT last night. Guess they're gonna be Imperial Fists now. Yellow Phobos armor looks great.

[@waren1x]

That looks absolutely awesome.

[@darthkek1953]

A top tip to get smooth white primer is to use an airbrush and put the PSI up a LOT even up to 30 or 40. It helps atomise. Also don't be afraid of more thinner than you think.

[@whofreakincares1000]

They look awesome. I love painting desaturated yellow. With guiliman coming in and changing up things with new units, who’s to say black Templar didn’t turn their “stealth recon” units into LOOK OVER HERE! Marines

[@AsgeirrSpjuth]

Wow your Black Templar incursor is fantastic!

[@sleepingsheriff]

Jesus Christ Jay, you didn't have to go that hard! They're amazing!

[@LouieLowe]

Really been looking for a place to get basing bits from never heard of epic basing really loving what I am seeing over there.

[@TheLongVigil]

I swear I've seen these exact minis at my FLGS that I game at in Wisconsin. Either that or someone had the same basing idea with the blue UV resin and cork. Beautiful Glowup for these models either way!

[@mtrox7848]

You gave them the HD treatment; keeping that original vibe.

[@Therealmanticorejones]

I’ve only played incursors in combat patrol, but it seems like they’re actually pretty decent in melee. Those double combat knives are better than I expected.

[@alfblack2]

i do love the alien landscape

[@naib_stilgar]

Great paintjob but the basing is star of the show here!

[@whynotusepaper468]

They look amazing! Now i want to paint something yellow!

[@ilProde]

Nice job! The colors really pop.

[@garryame4008]

I like the concept of Yellow Imperial Fist marines working alongside Black Templars. Sons of Dorn who got each others backs!

[@Beastjaeger]

The Stormspeeder could look cool with more of a modern military paintjob (a desert cream or a dark grey) going through a thick cloud of dust (using polyester cushion stuffing or cotton)

[@edimusprime]

Id love to see Jay get his hands on a chaos warhound and paint it up for his death guard. If he has enough paint

[@Fenris86]

Gritty primer can also happen in very dry air. I had to rework some Cadians who got a sandpaperlike finish when I primed in the middle of summer.

[@cleymovie2947]

Infiltrators : we are sneaky Also Infiltrators : Yellow !

[@CamAteUrKFC]

I love the incursors and infiltrators 😅

[@benytreeide568]

I love the second hand section of my local store.

[@anselmoffrisia2930]

Another great video! Fun idea!

[@SilimSavertin]

On my most recent yellow marines (Infernus Squad), I've gone with a very bright, shining green for the eyelenses, and it looks gorgeous. Definitely worth trying if you keep going with making some more yellow boys. I can't give you the exact color, as I've been using a very cheap local store brand green for it - it has terrible coverage and needs 3-5 layers just to make for decent eyes, but the end result is wonderful. A good bright green would definitely make it easier.

[@pimvandergeer7179]

❤ the way you respect the origional. Our hobby is a journey ( with no fixed destination) and these might have fallen off at an earlier point, to be picked up by you and taken up just farther along. 👍💪💪

[@murphybegood]

jay they look incredible!!!

[@thealaskanpiper]

If you ever sell them I'd love to have them. They'd fit perfectly into my custom chapter in everyway. They look excellent!!

[@Boey19]

Love all your videos Jay!

[@wikyWargaming]

That leather looks like gryph-hound orange. I used it on my Beastmen. I think it's one of those single-pigment formulations.

[@JosephusHellyer]

I would love to see you do lamentors with a similar yellow

[@HalianTheProtogen]

I always love seeing secondhand models rehabilitated. :D The yellow and blue color scheme makes me wonder if Craftworld Iyanden captured and impressed them into their service? :P

[@dragonling748]

this was super wholsome!

[@KrakDuk]

A good yellow paintjob always looks so nice. Wish I had the patients to do yellow lmao

[@FrozenThrog]

Yellow is not that hard, it just requires some prep. Vince Venturella has a really good video on yellow.

[@un7ucky]

great Project! i have done similar spice up's of most of the used models i've gotten... unless they are really bad, haha

[@marcopritoni7182]

Wow the purple really fits well

[@dickassley5171]

I love how well colour theory works on minis, my ultramarines have yellow bases and purple shading on their armour and it works so well together

[@graefx]

Ngl, I think a Storm speeder painted to match would look really good. Do a more elaborate base with the water splitting underneath and waves curling back in on themselves and a strip of the purple alien coral ground down the middle. I'm interpreting the landscape to not be super deep water but just kinda ankle deep viscous blue liquid everywhere.

[@TheOgreishere]

it kind of gives me ARC Trooper Vibes, pretty cool

[@rodolfomaravillasduran8793]

For sure one of my favorite things about buying used models is finding someone's previous work.

keep up the good work jay! such a banger video as always

"THESE MODELS ARE MINE NOW", = "THE RING IS MINE SAM!"

[@sharlockshacolmes9381]

I love the yellow, it make them more generic sci-fi wich ironically in Warhammer make them less generic. Also saturated yellow + lavender is such an underrated combination

[@benives254]

When you were drilling the side holes on the gun, the dude looked like was facepalming

[@user-yj2zl2js2d]

You rock I wish I could get you to paint something of mine

[@Frosty-kz4om]

They look like wasps, and that vibe suits phobos armour, I think

[@drachenkeks42]

These guys look like Bionicle. I like that.

[@MrZerakian]

Bro, the title: "Second Hand Space Marines" straight up gave me an RPG plot idea lol

[@A_Saboteur]

Could make them a special strike team sub division calling them the 'Templar Hornet Infiltration Division', they come out of no where, strike fast and sharp on alien worlds, leaving as fast as they arrived.

[@TheMichaellathrop]

What if that yellow glaze over the first layer of highlights was something like a florescent yellow (or a 50/50 mix of florescent and regular yellow) to try and give yourself a value jump without the de-saturation? Or some TMM gold highlights.

[@fybso3057]

Such a beatiful video

[@user-ou5md8zt6q]

Bumble Bee marines 😂

[@smuggersmith1450]

if you make them imperial fist they'll blend into your templars well

[@stevenmcgrath5114]

This yellow color scheme work will fir Imperial Fist under the command of Sigismond, first High Marshal of the Black Templars .

[@aaronbourque5494]

I think a good 1950s hot rod color scheme could help a stormspeeder...

[@yoshiwiseful]

this was a fun video

[@Gilchester]

What brand of UV resin do you use? Everything I've tried turns yellow and shrinks on curing.

[@bloodangelphil]

>he drills out the holes in the sides too Oh, thank God. I thought I was crazy for doing that.

[@PiotrKowalski-xn5bn]

What brushes do you use?
