[@boozebeard9501]

Seriously, I know everyone has their preferences but I always thought it mad he didn't use one. Was honestly a total game changer for me when I came back to the hobby recently, makes handling paints, especially mixing colours SOOO much easier.

[@dmeep]

According to some guy told me the reason a lot of things look like they did back in the day is that the guy in charge of photography or the white dwarf editor was unaware he was colourblind so he sent them back for not being vibrant enough until the wood was bright red etc

[@LinkiePup]

Even if thats true or not, the ultra bright colors define the style of the era.

[@acledfloyd]

I’d love to see a modern mini painted in this same style. See them right next to one another.

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

That would be awesome to see. 👍

This probably isn't going to matter to anyone but I just painted my first ever mini the other day and it just so happened to be an ultramarine!

welcome to the hobby! Enjoy! If you ever have any questions or want some C&c on models, I am sure that a lot of us (inlcuding me) would be glad to help!

I'm with GoblinGreen's marine on this one. Thumbs up Guy.

[@jamesrichards2442]

Goblin Green is an incredible painter. Love his stuff, it really hits in the nostalgia. You did well here Guy. And your sergeant also looks like Harvey Keitel.

[@xxelaxela333]

I really treasure these retro videos. For some reason they have been a reliable source of comfort during really distressing times. For some reason the music and the colors seems to give “early 2000s dvd menu playing to a sleeping room” vibes. Please keep these coming

[@albertosara416]

that looks straight out of an old warhammer magazine! this is so cool looking, amazing model

awww, the "default" flavor of ice cream is just.. cream. Vanilla is wonderful! hehe

[@paintfrenchy4735]

Guy was one of my go-to KZbin minipainters. Can't repay him enough. I learned a lot from his speedpainting videos. Fast forward 2 years. I'm teaching/helping people with painting minis. Now he's my go to KZbinr on how to record superbe videos.

@@hairyhulkvideos I agree, they've been kinda meh, but I don't think they're repetitive? I'm not sure what Guy's getting at. (Genuine curiosity, I don't agree or disagree with him I just don't understand)

When I got back into Warhammer earlier this year, I dug out all my old models so I could strip them and give them a proper painting. This guide will help a lot. Thank you.

[@TI4438]

Got an odd compliment on Facebook recently. I posted numerous pics of twenty+ year old minis all painted similar to this. I was told "love your OG style. Keep doing what you're doing. DON'T IMPROVE." Old skool painting might make a comeback!

[@RockinGlansBoysMeddlloide]

I apreciated the way you gave us an idea of how many hours ot took to paint this model. I think a time total estimate for projects in future videos would be fun/ encouraging for the painters at home.

Ah, the second edition starter set was my first box set! When I were a lad, we didn't have any of those fancy paint brushes, we had to paint our minis with a broom! Paints? No, we made do with jam, food colouring and shaded with puddle water!* 😉 * A vague reference to a Monty Python sketch...

I LOVE these retro Warhammer videos. Even though the older models aren't as technically good as the new models, they just hold a special charm that modern laser cut plastic can't. Also thanks for making me aware of Will's channel.

Ehrmagerd, this is my favorite series on KZbin (I have watched the Space Wolves, Dark Angels, and Terminator videos over and over again). Keep up the great work, your videos are awesome - and the background music (that you made yourself if I remember correctly) is so inspiring and imaginative!

This was amazing. The miniature looks amazing. Really like that you have ventured out and done new thing. 50 hours is an insane amount of time 🤯🤯🤯🤯 Hopefully you do more paint style series like the Black Stone Fortress or take a Kill Team or War Cry boxes and paint them in a series. Looking forward to the next video. Keep up the good work. 👍👍
