Yeah, this has rapidly become one of my favourites, if not my favourite.

[@ironbomb6753]

@J truth man, I seriously like this channel

[@seanfinley2069]

delightfully, Duncan also recently painted a retro Chaos Dwarf

[@Dr_Evil_Prime]

Very awesome to see chaos dwarfs. Personally, I’d love to see Louise’s touch on the leviathan boxset; those Nids colour schemes would be epic!

[@probeulater]

Retro warhammer is just everything I'm loving about miniature painting atm. I love me some snipe and wib and all of their old codex compliant videos and retro lamenters space marine paint jobs.

This channel is what I’ve been looking for since the advent of KZbin! 1994 ruled. Best games. Best paints. Best music. I had all my hair. Good times.

[@simondale2833]

I love the colour mix bar. It made it incredibly easy for me to visualise how the paint changes as you worked it onto the mini. Especially with the NMM. I get lost on a lot of tutorial videos because I just can't quite visualise the paint state. Thank you.

[@dominicnzl]

the colour bar on the side is so helpful! and this miniature paintjob has so much character, thank you for showing how you did it

[@cole445]

This is quickly becomming my favourite painting channel

[@Dracobyte]

Same as I!

[@ChairmanMjau]

When I see this I remember how it was painting dwarfs in late 90s. Paints in those Hexapots (better for holding minis with some bluetack than holding paints!). But the range!!! Enchanted blue, Goblin green, red gore, sunburst yellow, scorched earth, snakebite leather, liche purple, dwarf flesh, Chaos black, bleached bones, boltgun metal, chainmail and the smell of black and Chestnut ink on a Sunday morning! Thanks for this! 👍 For mixing paints! And the result of that Chaos dwarf is wow!

[@marklindsey4112]

Those old chaos dwarfs were such funny little sculpts. So distinctive and full of character. An absolutely gorgeous paint job on it too. Great video.

[@roguehobbies]

I love them so much 💗

They are really great, even if those are not from my favorite faction in Warhammer Fantasy.

Chorfs!🤘

[@alfredvanzant9422]

That whole generation of single-pose plastics is really fun to paint - if you're doing just one of them. At the time they were meant to build cheap units, so for the true 90s experience you should loop this video twenty times.

Welcome to the community!

[@tinyfishhobby3138]

The little color mix bar is genius! Watching you paint is like magic, and for some reason I seem to “get it” more clearly than with other channels when you’re showing the highlights, etc. Thank you for this video.

[@mikelegault9344]

After leaving the hobby for 20 years, it was a rude awakening to see almost none of the same colours I remembered on the shelf. My old bestie had all the old stuff, this is delightful.😊 I still have an old t-shirt that has a smear of goblin green on it. 😅

Chaos dwarves have always been my favorite. So glad you made this! Thank you!

I recently came across your channel and have been blown away at how much you love Warhammer and the various other ranges produced by GW. I absolutely love how you paint and how much enthusiasm you show for something you really love. That passion has encouraged me to look forward more to my painting when I do get to it! And your passion has definitely grown on me too!

[@keptinjack]

Madness, beautiful chaotic madness. Now I want to repaint my BB Chaos Dwarves

[@icyblankets4971]

All the music on your channel is excellent. And it’s great to see Chaos Dwarfs given more time in the sun.

Oldhammer stuff pings my nostalgia center in my brain, and your joy in painting these old minis is infectious. You make me want to pick up a few and give painting them a try again! In the meantime, watching you paint so skillfully is a wonderful bit of catharsis. Thank you for this, and I'm looking forward to many more!

You are a breathtakingly gifted painter. Just stunning work.

[@MrTaffydude]

Finally, an NMM method I could understand ! Thank you so much.

[@roguehobbies]

It's super easy (which is the only reason I can do it)

[@Mark-nh2hs]

Got to love the Old Chaos Dwarves used to collect them back in the day lol. Just shows you don't need all these multitude of paints and air brush shenanigans to make an amazing looking painted mini. Back in the days of goblin green and sand bases, not like nowadays how many get really annoyed if the base doesn't outshine the mini - nobody cares what a base looks like when they are ranked up hahaha

[@hairysticks74]

So, I used to paint like this years ago, mixing my own colours as I didn't have a lot of them. Now as I'm older (a lot older ) I haven't done it in such a long time as my paint colection is so big now. I'm definately going to go back to this at some point and just mix away 👍. Great video!

[@thecoopaplays]

This is the most beautiful dwarf i have ever seen

[@kaygolob8639]

The quality of your painting is amazing! Why GW ever allowed you to leave, instead of posting two trolls at your office door to keep you in, will be a mystery to me!

I’m mentally stuck in the 90’s. . . .this video helps continue that. Thanks Sugs 🤘

[@jaysunbodaysun3302]

It's nice to know that what I do is a THING. I collect old Metal old hammer and lose myself in the lore and painting. I even collect the old codexes and boxes if I can find them. Great video.

[@danroberts007]

Great video. I mix my paints in a similar manner, but you're certainly at expert level! It looks fantastic! Side note: my favorite part of your set is the Mega-Gargant box in the background... 'cause I happen to own THAT exact Mega-Gargant! I bought the 'Eavy Metal studio model from GW... geez, in the late 90s? As far as I know, they were simply trying to make space and getting rid of some of their studio-painted models (crazy!) and I wound up with the Bad Moonz Mega-Gargant which has been sitting on my bookshelf ever since (don't worry, it's inside a clear plastic display box, no dust on it!). Back to the video: I've got a set of these classic mono-pose Chaos Dwarves... and I've got some old GW paints (still good!) in those classic hex bottles... gonna see about following your instructions here... and look up Warcolours too! :-)

[@LordSquee]

Have to add my voice to the others about the colour mixing bar. I wish more people would do it. Perfect way to show what you mean. :)

[@juliuskhaine]

Did not expect the STEPS reference. Fellow haver of taste I see.

[@arandomlostsoul753]

Having seen reviews of the Nostalgia '94 paints, I am flabbergasted that you can paint with these over a black undercoat and end up with such a crisp and vibrant result. I was under the impression that they have quite poor opacity, at least compared to more modern-style paints. Then again, when you're going to be applying a dozen or more thin layers on every square millimeter of the model, perhaps it isn't a problem that the paint is almost transparent when painted over black.

[@roguehobbies]

I always apply multiple thin layer especially over black! I think the black undercoat helps you see the consistency of the paint range too! No smoke and mirrors, just showing you how to paint looks 😊

[@Weasel_Fierce]

Yeah I thought the same. I used to use the paints this range is based on and I just don't understand why anyone would want to go back to that. Give me colour matches with better coverage, that's what I'd like to see.

[@onarollgames]

Watching you paint non metallic gold is the first time I've ever thought about trying it myself. You did such a fantastic job, and it looked so effortless!

[@stujm84]

Isnt there a story (myth?) where the sculpter kept being told to make the hats taller and taller, which is why they're all nearly as tall as the dwarf itself? Great vid, colour mixing is definitely something i need to improve on! Thanks for the education and the entertainment! Glad it wasnt a vid of someone putting in our faces they received a Leviathan boxset.

[@dcbluenose1873]

My old skool 1990-1991 pink horrors were painted with Titillating Pink, so this takes me back. I also miss the 2nd Edition 40k Ork colour schemes. A goofier, happier, 40k era.
