[@skullbros3284]

if i may ask you a question i recently came to hold a 2nd hand troggoth hag but it missing its bag arm and thought you might point me in the right direction get doing what you do and thanks

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

@@skullbros3284 such a good model! I would do a couple of things. The troll Hag arm with the bag is pretty iconic, but there are very nice 3d prints you can get of a Female River Troll that are floating around on cults3d. Even if you don’t have a 3d printer there are Etsy sellers selling the model already printed for $28, so not a bad way to go if you wanted the original look. Otherwise you can set up an eBay search for a Forgeworld Troggoth Hag on eBay and have it email you whenever something new pops up, I’ve seen that piece you’re missing for sale before, all by itself, so it’s possible to find, but might take some patience. Last thing you could do is get hold of a river Troggoth arm and convert the mini so it doesn’t have a bag, but the arm is pretty similar, it could even be doing something else, like holding into a model or weapon or something. It really depends on how quickly you want to use the model, the 3d print is the quickest, and easier with an Etsy seller, and doing a conversion will get it done pretty quick too. Now that I think about it, you could even use some greenstuff and some kind of bone bit to make it like she got her arm cut off, put a guy with a sword on the base with her and make a dual out of it. Lots of ways to go! I hope that helps :)

[@skullbros3284]

ill test to see if i can get the convection to look right then work my way down your advice from there thank you for both your reply and the things ive learned till next time @@eBayMiniatureRescues

Yarrick isn’t dead. He’s on special assignment for the Inquisition

[@euansmith3699]

He's... under... your... *BED!!!* 😄😄😄👍

[@johnbandow213]

Gork and Mork wouldn't allow for him to die.

[@CTA12356]

No he is and thank current GW for that. Never forget they’re destroying the lore lovingly created by passionate people who loved the setting and hobby

[@Mephiston]

They started giving hints at a huge ork response when they had ghaz grind the entire waaagh to a halt when he heard that angron had a skull that looked suspiciously like yarricks. Hoepfully something good comes from it. Something like battle for armageddon: greatest hits. grey knights, blood angels, space wolves, and imperial guard vs orks vs angron and chaos. 4th war for armageddon here we come!

[@scottlidstone1902]

He's dead... but that never stopped GW from bringing someone back. Yarrick as Saint of the Emperor, twice as big and ready to stomp Angry Ron.

[@kieran2221]

Your kindness to the original painter, whoever they are, and your desire to help and continue to be empathetic to them is your real gift Casey. Also, the mini looks great. Thanks for another great video.

[@thetraitorguardsmen.5321]

Thanks for taking me back to the 90s I had this model back in the day. Lost it in a house fire. Been in the hobby since 1988. I am 47 now.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Glad to bring back some good old nostalgia :) Sorry to hear about the fire though, Hopefully, you have been able to get back most of what's been lost since then!

[@thetraitorguardsmen.5321]

@@eBayMiniatureRescues Thank you for your kind thoughts. I'm grateful. It happened in 1998. So I'm good thank you. But it did remind me of the pig iron ingot of miniatures i found in a biscuit tin in what was my bedroom. Lol have a great week my friend.

[@imperialus1]

I still have my 90's Yarrick. Both of them actually. I always preferred the original to the one that got released in the late 90's during 3rd edition though.

[@WarhammerWings]

​@@thetraitorguardsmen.5321oof. Not nice.

[@francescoottini9469]

A dear friend of mine passed away almost 4 years ago, he used to introduce me to this hobby, and used to play imperial guard. I don't even know if he owned this model, but I felt that bringing this model back to life, you did it for my friend as well. So thank you.

[@mpbros207]

Don’t worry Yarrik and the previous owner aren’t gone. They have gone on to join the big Krump in the sky.

[@otlan2724]

WAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!

[@TheGrayfrog100]

Respectful, Beautiful and a wonderful result. I am in the awful place of trying to work out what to do with my younger Brothers Chapter and all the other models he collected in his life. Your Video has helped me today, I was having a bit of a bad moment. Thank you, Good Sir!

[@AngelusNielson]

I can no tell you the pain of loss will go away. But I will tell you it will lessen given time. I am sorry for it, for what little that's worth.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

I'm very sorry for your loss, I am sure that has been difficult. That this video could possibly bring you any comfort is overwhelmingly humbling. Thank you for your comment and I truly hope that things become easier day by day.

[@AngelusNielson]

@@eBayMiniatureRescues I"m 47. Things like this happen at my age. And hey, if my friend hadn't passed my wife, who was his roommate, wouldn't have moved in with me. So there's that.

[@Lee-vp8vs]

I would love to see a diorama with Yarrick doing finger guns and Orcs dying over-dramatically.

[@slow_runner]

The backstory combined with the fact that it's Yarrick makes this one hit different. I'm pushing forty and this made me think about what will some day happen to the models I now cherish so much. A great piece, thank you so much.

[@trilliongold]

This is actually more like what i wish this series would be. I love the idea of taking the original paint job and trying to match it as closely as possible but vastly improved. This was very satisfying and you did an amazing job recreating the original intended scheme.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

I've been slowly moving into trying to make the rescue videos more specific like this one. It can be tough to find just the right models sometimes, but the ones I have gotten recently have been perfect for this treatment!

[@lrno7465]

💯

[@justbobagian]

If you run him in a greenskin army, he could be Commisar Yar-ork

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

hehe, perfect.

[@scootiepuffjr]

I have a friend who passed away years ago. Due to emotional circumstances, his armies were eventually lost to time, his mother giving them away years later. My friend was SOMEHOW able to find several of his old armies on ebay through complete random chance, models he knew were our friend's because he had helped him personally paint them (this was about 10 years after our friend's death). Our friend played Imperial Guard and Yarrick passed through my hands a few times. This original paint reminds me SO much of "our" Yarrick, that it brings so much up in me emotionally. It is almost impossible to tell if this Yarrick belonged to Bob, but in so many ways I pray it is. What this channel is able to do in inspiring in so many forms. The fact that you are able to resurrect these minis and often restore them to what the original painter intended is such a beautiful process. You give me hope and I love your channel. I wish I was able to support you more.

[@johnp1806]

I do love these where you do a skilled up version of what the original was going for rather than a full clean up and repaint, it feels kinder to the memory or intent of the person and less of a "I can do better so I'm going to". I also love that we're seeing more of the direct side by sides instead of the cuts between the two. Keep up the awesome work!

[@MaskedRiderChris]

Having that little bit of extra impetus to make a model look especially good is always a plus, and he looks great! I agree about the stories you create on the table top with friends; in my circle, the words "ELF PANTIES!!!!!" still get a laugh every time from a game I ran quite some time ago--and no, nothing inappropriate was involved.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

lol, perfect example! The weird things that we create and just keep going, and can be brought up without any other context that make someone laugh. Best part of the game :)

[@VoxFelis]

Bale-Eye! I got models in an estate sale. Young father passed away. I felt odd taking the models home. Had a cry. Then realized that any gamer would want their models to keep on fighting. They all joined my Waaaagh. Great video as ever, Casey!

[@KabinMiniatures]

The Claw came out great! And I adore that skull backpack 😄 nice job as always!

[@lawrencejones1517]

A very cool mini that you really did an awesome job with! Even mounted his proper banner! Well done! I also glad that you did a serious hat tip to both the previous owner and the history of that character mini! Epic!

[@mattshaw5179]

This is one of my favourite miniatures ever! I remember when it came out, it made me turn away from Eldar and start collecting an Imperial Guard army!! Great video! Base edge should have been green though!

[@Backstabmacro]

I enjoy painting and working on my own armies. But after doing a commission and working on some gift models for friends, I find myself MUCH more motivated to paint and push my standards when I’m doing it for someone else. It’s really enjoyable.

[@andrewm1857]

I remember when this guy came out originally, loved painting mine, gave him a great looking fiery claw (well i thought it looked good at the time) cheers for the video

[@mallninja3797]

I generally don't like the aesthetic of Oldhammer stuff but this was still a cool project. I appreciate very much the care you put into this piece.

[@Bodkin_Ye_Pointy]

I heard you referring to any person as "the Artist" when clearly the model on the screen was the product of a youngster that had only just begun their journey. Kudos to you for recognising the future and the potential.

[@phoen31]

Great job on this one. You did some real justice to a soft metal model from the 90s.

[@codybennett8516]

I truly loved how you respected the original owner of this model and treated as a restoration job. In a way this model persevered the original owner.

[@danlopretto7222]

Can we all take a moment and tip our hats to the original painter’s edge highlights on the claw?

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Right? I do love to see when people go for it! Sure it didn't quite come together, but there was effort put into it!

[@euansmith3699]

Casey comes across as such a lovely bloke.

[@KenOfthewest]

Well done Sir! What I have started doing lately, is to use the painted figure as the undercoat( assuming its not too thickly painted) and then work from there, its basically fulfilling what the original owner was trying to do! Anyway, great work and all the best from across the pond!

[@Technoanima]

Wow what a nostalgia hit. Pepperidge farm remembers.

[@Nigelius]

Re. Flags, it would be good if GW sculpted banners with the pole and crossbar as one bit with the option to glue a nice detailed plastic banner on top, otherwise you are free to make a big banner of your own.

Great paint job and great story about the previous owner. This being a model from someone who passed away makes this model mean so much more

[@looselycollected7505]

I always loved this figure. Never wanted to play IG. But this figure is so awesome. I had a thought about buying one and painting up and using it as an allied Inquisitor to my space marines for current 40K rules.

[@poilaaliop]

This has gotta be one of your best, both for the artistry and the story. Thanks for doing him justice. If you ever feel like rescuing one of those old Rogue Trader era women in power armour, that would be awesome. I've seen a couple of those around UK ebay recently.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Thank you :) That means a lot! I do like those Rogue Trader minis, I'm always on the lookout for the women especially, as they tend to go for quite a bit of money, hopefully I can find them for a halfway decent price!

[@garydurn7983]

Great job! Back in the day we all failed to achieve that power claw paint fade without airbrushes, but Yarrick was a fun character to field. Thanks to his power field generator and Iron Will ability he would often be the last surviving character on his side, charging around trying to melee whole squads 😆

[@suntitan4429]

They should totally put yarrick back into the game he is one of if not the best imperial guard commander now we get weird guy on robot horse

[@skoggstroll]

You knocked that out of the park dude

[@ono1381]

Nice video. Was to see the respect you had for this person's model. Our paintjobs are a tiny part of us. On a less serious note, bring back the humble bavk banner GW!

[@speedwolf]

Rather than paper flags I used to do the same thing with tinfoil/aluminum foil and then very gently bend it to shape to give it some dynamism. Really brought back some memories.

[@FirstOfTenThousand]

Love what you've done here, paying respect to the dead; you're special 😊

[@MortRotu]

Gentle warning: Acetone will also soften any cyanoacrylate based glues like superglue and any 'instant grab' type glues. On old metal models this will weaken or unglue the joints. On your Mrs nails it will strip her nail varnish (nail varnish is mostly superglue and pigment)

[@dougizzi2709]

That was really cool restoration!

[@josdijkstra5937]

i like your videos so much when you finish other people's projects and ideas

[@petergustavsson2951]

Very well made. I see the work from a true artist

[@joejohnston6802]

Yarrick, the only person to be a man, myth and legend... all at the same time

[@thegrahamsullivanshow566]

A much better way to paper flags is to make them double sided. Thats pretty straight forward just mirror the image on a editing program of your choosing. Then cut out the two sided flag and glue the two parts together with PVA. Gently use the handle of a brush or toothpick to make "ripples" in the flag by rolling it over the round surface, this will make it actually look like the flag is flapping in the wind. This eliminates the need to paint the back of it black, as that looks strange. Just a tip from a historical wargamer who is used to making flags for Napoleonic battalions.

[@Nagrazel]

looks great mate

[@henrikw377]

Absolute legend of a model, well done!

[@BrucieBonus]

Glorious!

[@prophaniti1]

I'm a former GW employee, and the company saying you can't use this model etc is for me a load of rubbish. I worked for GW when they didn't dictate what could be in the table, the aim was to have fun, not try to control the habits of fans in their own homes. Personally carrying on using Yarrick as a character, if rules are no longer available, then come up with your own as long as opponent agrees. The aim is to have fun.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Regardless of what GW wants, fun is always the answer. I will definitely be playing this model on the table, and it will be glorious!

[@1985slipstream]

I had and still have this model and actively played 2nd ed 40k with imperial guard. But to be honest i never ever used him in battle in shop or against friends as imperial guard characters were not a strong point of the army back then, And he was alot of points.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Nice! I have quite a few minis like that, where they just sit because playing in a competitive setting just doesn't work for the army, at least they are a pretty awesome addition to the collection overall. I have a small IG army that I am planning on playing small games with friends that this one is going in. I've never played IG and I doubt what I have is any good, but I imagine it will be worth it to see the model on the table again :)

[@reddogterrain]

[@michaelellery7236]

That was a very thoughtful gesture, I'm sure the original owner wherever they are is grateful for bringing his dream back to life.

[@ElNick09]

It may not be lore accurate, because I am no expert, but my own personal 'head cannon' is that Yarrik is going to go on and on living to an impossible age. This happens because the firm belief of uncountable orks across the galaxy is "Old Bale Eye kant be ded, kuz Gazkul asn't killed im!" Its a measure of the Great Prophet Gazkul himself that he has such a fine enemy. They orks have made up their mind about it, theres going to be a real fine final scrap between them, and thats that.

What type of lamp is that you are using? Looks perfect for mini painting. Also, love what you do and how much diligence and care you put into your content. Thank you!

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Thank you, I appreciate that :) The lamp I'm currently using is the Redgrass Games R9 lamp. It's nice, they sent it to me a while back to test out. The Kickstarter is still taking late pledges I believe, but it's a little pricey ($222) in my opinion. Still, a nice lamp if you want something super premium! www.kickstarter.com/projects/redgrass/redgrass-r9-desk-lamp-daylight-true-color-led-light?ref=9j6nfa&gclid=CjwKCAjwpJWoBhA8EiwAHZFzfrhsXDt_3mfiSDEBhlXS8UmIylq6Y-fPPkndQjurETvyWv_roGJhHxoC7mAQAvD_BwE
