Games Workshop Retro Action Figures!? - Creating The 90's Warhammer Toy line that Never was.

[@slimehousetv]

Thanks so much for all the kind words, I'm really glad people like them! In case you missed it the STL is also now available over on my Patreon, link in video description, really looking forward to seeing how people paint theirs up. :)

[@ChaseDaOrk3767]

Ork action figures when!?

[@P.CL33T]

Could you make a Lamenters terminator or maybe a Tzeentch dreadnaught?

[@Polygonlin]

Do you sell your STL's? i would absolutely LOVE the Penitent one from Blasphemous!

[@SpookyTimestamps]

Pllllleeeeesse do the space marine stl and orks! Your designs are so good

[@timothytimh4321]

And Inwill give him a dyi hat.

[@MidwinterMinis]

Visiting your studio was absolutely awe inspiring, mate! Can't wait to paint that marine!

[@slimehousetv]

@@MidwinterMinis too kinds sir! Can't wait to see what you do with the figure and always welcome back if you find yourself again up north 💪

[@mickmo4700]

'Where does he get those wonderful toys?' He only bloody makes them himself. Another great video and another outstanding figure. Keep making figures and I'll keep watching.

[@slimehousetv]

@@mickmo4700 thanks so much 🙏

[@Muds33]

I would buy one of these in a heartbeat

[@Mahou_Roboto]

This is gorgeous. I love the chunky big 80’s and 90’s action figures style. It’s too bad games workshop will never make something like this, because I would buy the set in a heartbeat. Great job!

[@JaceyMitchell]

Same! I don't collect anything Games Workshop minus, but these little love letters to an iconic piece of pop culture history would find their way onto my shelves.

[@BlindedbyDaylight]

Back at it again with another amazing figure! Great project bud, beautiful work as always.

[@slimehousetv]

@@BlindedbyDaylight too kind man, high praise coming from you 🙏

[@BlindedbyDaylight]

@slimehousetv credit where credit is due bud, your figures are something a lot of people (myself included) wish we could buy for our collections. Doing amazing stuff. And what a choice to give the toy makeover treatment to as well, amazing

[@largeblaststudio]

Amazing work! you absolutely nailed it!

[@slimehousetv]

@@largeblaststudio hey appreciate it yo!

[@dcaffran]

Your sculpt is superb. It reminds me a lot of the TMNT line by Playmates. A very similar and appropiate cartoony design with a better sculpt than they would have been able to mass produce back then. Great job!

[@timothytimh4321]

Good lord, that IS a nice piece with just the perfect paint job. It really does deserve a variety of paint jobs like that sofa I guy does.

[@timothytimh4321]

SOFUBI GUY

[@garybuettner7920]

I really love how you chase after such an exactingly specific aesthetic… and actually nail it. I’m an action figure kid of the eighties that didn’t grow up with WH49k, but I would’ve jumped on these figures. They could not be cooler and more attractive as toys. They would POP off the shelves of any 80’s or 90’s toy aisle. (Also, I love that my favorite KZbinrs all know each other. It’s like a freaking Avengers meeting.)

[@slimehousetv]

@@garybuettner7920 thanks so much, I usually just wing it and so far it's been working haha

[@paulsheldon8838]

Incredibly convincing! Amazing blue too.

[@pepsiman3501]

This is perfection! Exactly what I’d expect from a figure from the old hammer era! Now you have to make an ork nob.

[@nakenmil]

Fantastic. So much joy in these old school sculpts. Chunky and fun.

[@JaceyMitchell]

These look gorgeous and I'd buy them in a heartbeat if they were available. I think there would be a lot of potential for an action figure line like this. Not just from a creative perspective, because of how many different types of iconic figures you could create from the source material (Orks and Gretchins would look great with this aesthetic too I think), but also from a marketing perspective, considering it would allow for countless repaints and retools of many molds. Being able to keep a mold in use for multiple generations of toys is a big win if you're a toy manufacturer.

[@dazatronsdioramallama6370]

You smashed this Theo. Both of the figures look so good! Thanks for sharing the process

[@oskarlonnqvist7074]

These are amazing!! You totally nailed it! 😁

[@CCMinis]

Absolutely amazing!

[@slimehousetv]

High praise nick thank you dude 🙏

[@MattyStoked]

I love to see some representation for Trendmasters! Incredible creativity and skill here, mate. Top drawer stuff.

[@trevorhaynes5669]

Nailed it again!!! 100% , The finish on your pieces looks so factory/professional . Also watching your vids recently has got me into sofubi style stuff, I'd love the stl file to your character with the cone shaped head!!

[@GenericProtagonist118]

This does give me several questions on what your planning on in the future like: -Vehicles? -Playsets? -Toys with moving parts or gimmicks (like ramming head or spring loaded rocket)?

[@slimehousetv]

I actually did an episode a couple of weeks back going over all these questions and more, check it out friend :)

[@adamwragg4606]

Very cool theo! Hopefully see if I can get someone I plow to print one, we'll see 🤞🤞

[@Pegwarmers]

These are so fantastic! I wish these were available for purchase!

[@L3ttuc3]

11:15 sounds an awful lot like a tacit admission to a misspent youth full of graffiti and hooliganism lol. Love the way the paint came out though. I've never been a huge fan of the older GW models even though I've always loved 40k. They just don't look very cool to me, but this came out with a unique very comic book style. The space Marines and the gene stealers you made have a much more appealing look than the 90s original sculpts and I really like the paint on all of them. Nice new flavor. Thanks for the vid, well done.

[@slimehousetv]

@@L3ttuc3 glad you enjoyed the video! 😁🙏

[@davidmarsh7696]

That's brilliant. Great art.

[@slimehousetv]

Thank you!

[@ShovelheadLR]

Loved how it turned out!!! cant wait to see what else you do with the 40k series. I'm currently working on a couple of kits myself I'm working on making a MGS1 solid snake and a titan fall 2 Jack cooper, after that I plan on making a 1/12th scale titan and a 1/12th scale Rx7 and AE86 to go in my initial D collection with my new 3d printer, Your painting style really inspired me to get into airbrushing!!!

[@MechaWrecka]

Brother, these turned out great! l love that transparent one. It reminds me of an old ToyBiz Iceman I had in the 90s. Love to see the STL tier. I'm gonna need to jump on that once I replace my printer.

[@xFuzzyxPicklesx]

looks so good, love the color man

[@slimehousetv]

@@xFuzzyxPicklesx thanks :)

[@plug_0280]

They look so sick! I would love to paint that

[@slimehousetv]

Can't wait to see what people do with them! 🙏

[@ScoshHammer]

Just found your channel, you nailed the hell out of it, 10/10. Was great hearing the accent as well. I'm Canadian, but my Nan was from Hunslet, Grandad from Salford. Loads of family in Leeds, but I don't get to hear their voices that often.

[@slimehousetv]

Hey thanks so much! I find that most people either love or hate my accent so I'm glad you appreciate it haha. Welcome!

[@thespookymage]

Man, I SO want one of these, they look great!

[@yandman26]

Dude, these are beautiful. I'd love to see a translucent Gene Stealer but with the claws and flesh sections painted in.

[@Primal2229]

Man, I laughed so damn hard seeing the transparent version. The painted one looks good, but the transparent one nailed the nostalgia factor. Fuck I miss the 90s where it didn't matter if it made sense just as long as it looked cool and you nailed it. Necron needs to have glow in the dark, the other 90s gimmick that was always cool.

[@mraide]

For the booth comp - I do a lot of Necromunder scenery and models in a tight working space, so a water booth would save me having to cut a hole in my garage wall for ventilation

[@theonlyenicfanever5346]

Phenomenal yet again!

[@elphee]

Dope video. Can definitely see the Kenner Aliens influence on the paint jobs! The flying Alien Queen was one of the best toys ever.

[@theonlyenicfanever5346]

Right now, I'm working on some homemade Christmas decorations for my family - Currently on my painting desk is a large handful of nutcrackers that I'm painting by hand! In the future, I want to work on a large diorama gaming board to donate to my LGS, and the airbrush booth will be 50% of the way to having a proper airbrush setup to get it!

[@I_had_that]

Currently working on a knock off line of 5.5 figures. The paint booth would definitely come in handy 💯

[@JackC92]

what a beautiful figure mate! i have to get that app! great video as per :D

[@SimeonCogswell]

You absolutely nailed it. As a Warhammer player, the uses for an airbrush are to clear out all this grey plastic that haunts my dreams!

[@thetiredcraftsman]

They look so legit, bro! Also fantastic paint job!! 🤘🙌

[@slimehousetv]

@@thetiredcraftsman thank you bro 🙏

[@DEVIL_PUNK]

I know it wasn't because of just me, but it's almost like my dude read my comment from the last video!! My prayers have been heard and this amazing man is starting to drop STL files dawg. 🙏 👏 cheers to SlimeHousetv and all its content. Just praying we get that space marine STL 🙏

[@slimehousetv]

@@DEVIL_PUNK enjoy! 🥳🥳🥳

[@PKTCrafts]

One day late.. I ruined one if my spray primers yesterday due to cold weather. That being said, great sculp man! You have really nailed this genere.

[@OldIronKing89]

You did great with this and if I was out shopping and saw this I would put it in my cart for sure. Great job

[@phoenix-kingz]

I am so blown away by this video! Another absolute win. And if it’s a project I’ll need the booth for I could def use it as I’m trying to get into airbrushing while scratchbashing an ork warlord action figure

[@lordofgraphite]

Absolutely gorgeous!! ❤

[@ted_splitter]

Ah those Kenner aliens! Theere used to be a good toy and model shop near the bus station in Carlisle that stocked them and I remember really wanting them when I was a kid, amazing looking toys. But I was too young to know what Aliens was, haha

[@danielnachon]

I thought the space marines was the coolest but this are even better!! I'd love to see this in the "modern" colors! it would look really cool too!!

[@adamregula4328]

Sculpt, and paint job are amazing! Love these ❤. The old Kenner Mantis Alien was always my favorite!

[@slimehousetv]

I need to pluck up the courage to paint it 😅

[@brunoj3444]

Wow, that was incredible! I can't wait for the bootleg editions to come out here in Brasil in 1998! hahaha keep doing this wonderful work, we love it!

[@slimehousetv]

Ha, glad you like what I did with em 🙏

[@Bdizzle304]

currently working on my tabletop game ive created which I hope will be a platform for others to build off and make a living creating awesome stuff all 3d printed - would be happy to send over the STL's for you to make a video on once its complete in the future and if you dont have the time id be happy to send them just so you can have a play around. Air brush story: recently got an airbrush for Christmas but the whole thing broke and ive had to send it back so my first and only experience with an airbrush hasnt been too great , foudn another on amaozn so waiting for pay day but the air brush would help massively in making the miniatures pop with some colour for the product photos ill be taking in the near future. Also nice to see a fellow northerner on youtube im up in Yorkshire ! Git up R kid!

[@michaeljdolan8050]

Love seeing that Ragnar crop up so often in the background in these videos, it's such a great looking toy.

[@Heavymetalrille]

This is for sure one of your best work and creations, you nailed it, it looks very professional, clean, sharp, tight and more. Well done! Have a great Christmas, speaking of Christmas, ever thought about making a Christmas themed figure? Since it is the season, i have to ask :)

[@slimehousetv]

Glad you like the figure dude! And No plans for a Christmas figure, I made a figure last year that was Christmas themed to me not sure if you watched the video. The Mandroid!

[@Heavymetalrille]

@@slimehousetv I did watch your Mandroid video, i saw it back when you relased it. I was perhaps thinking about something new and something more of your own, just asking for fun and thinking maybe something more direct like a Chainsaw Santa or a Godzilla mutated with a Christmas tree, it is endless what you can do and it is all about the delivery and i small ideas tying it togheter. Best of luck to you on your toymaking adventure and whatever you decide to do next!

[@smiler289]

I absolutely love these figures, you've made an amazing job of them. I much prefer the style of old school warhammer and the genestealers are scary ass baddies

[@jiidee]

I could absolutely use that spraybooth. I'm putting together a resin printing station from some 2nd hand older printers but I've never had a proper spray set up. I'm hoping to also do some action figure stuff, although not based on the Kenner vibe. I likewise want to bring some old British properties to toyetic life for the first time.

[@oos222]

I love these videos. I wish I could sculpt and make whatever figure I wanted..

[@georgereeder4981]

Amazing work!❤

[@Fischonkel]

Absolutely love it.

[@3picdermis223]

Man I love this one.

[@wilhelminiatures6905]

Absolutely brilliant!

[@jasonshourick743]

Well I've already asked for it but I will not stop until you find where the file is, we went the tonk STL !!

[@venger78]

You toatlly nailed this 🤘 It's a line of figures we never had, but always wanted. If you sell these in any form, I'm defo buying one ❤

[@slimehousetv]

Really appreciate it! The STL is on my patreon if your a 3D printing guy dude 🙏

[@armaturesmusic]

Amazing work again, love these

[@Vmshipe]

Love your prints and aesthetics as usual! I have been getting back into 3D printing and model painting recently and have found how useful it is to spray paint the base coat. I am really wanting to invest in an airbrush and paint booth area so something like this would be perfect!

[@StillABigKid]

Seeing as your reverse curse has given us a remastered Soul Reaver, and Jet Set Radio figures I wouldn't be surprised if GW make retro style figures in the new year

[@vadertronstoychest]

Love the proper old school warhammer 40,000 spacemarines with the pointed helmets I'm praying mcfarlane release one or if joytoys release some ill invest in some amazing talent as always Theo 🙏

[@slimehousetv]

Nice one Vader!

[@mraide]

TOP WORK!!!!!!!

[@AranOtang]

This is GENEius! Perfect pose and proportions as far as I'm concerned. A Space Hulk style Terminator counterpart would be good to see, though I would really love a WARDUKE from the 80's D&D toyline done in this style, as I'm currently finishing writing an 80's Heavy Metal influenced D&D adventure module designed around the character, so that bastard's been in my heart and mind for months.

[@gacharizer1372]

Quality content and good editing as always Theo, keep it up! Happy that you're taking us with you in your journey to toy-making.

[@dimscrawl4910]

These turned out really nicely. I wonder if it's possible to establish a color gradient with translucent color mixes with resin printers. I've gotten more into sculptural/garage kit side of this hobby, old Nirasawa and Makoto Kobayashi kits and Ma.K, mostly focused there these days. Staring down 1/6th scale and sofubi really gets the collector's mania churning and I have to step away from that precipice. Good luck with your manufacture and future projects.

[@dialnfornick]

Dope 🔥 ....nailed it

[@volttherobot]

That Genestealer came out PERFECT! *AMBUSH!!!!* (Also a HUGE fan of those old Aliens and Predator toys)

[@slimehousetv]

@@volttherobot thank you volt! 🙏

[@filkinraous1806]

Love this old Genestealer! Can't wait to see the Terminator and other classic Rogue Trader era sculpts come out of this series!

[@joshthompson2184]

This has got to be one of my favorite things youve made so far and I know nothing about warhammer. I've been putting together a craft room so I can get back to hand sculpting and making my own toys as well! Having this booth would be amazing as I've wanted to get an airbrush forever!

[@bigmek2903]

Please please keep this as a series. This video is genuinely one lf my favorites these past months, theres so many things in 40k im so eager to see in your style

[@KaeCommoner]

CRAZY skill Theo! Absolutely smashed this one. Love them!! 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@slimehousetv]

Cheers yo! Appreciate it 🙏

[@charredatlas9454]

Mate, absolutely awesome job! I could imagine rows of these in Toy and Hobby.

[@Xarcand]

Loving your videos so far!Actually working on kill teams constantly and using my airbrush in my apartment that isn't too well ventilated is a pain, That booth would be a godsend. Thanks for the chance

[@slimehousetv]

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoying the episodes :)

[@ethangrant5061]

I wish I could see these in a toy isle, I'd buy a ton

[@Tynster747]

Im working a lot, on like real a lot. I have 7 projects on my desk and several more not on the desk, I have some 40k 3d prints, resin casts 3 bandai kits that are needing a final painting . Id love to get a spray booth, Id use my airbrush more for sure

[@R3dMatador]

So sick, wish I had a resin printer. Banging job!

[@slowstartpokemon8652]

How about a commissar with a power fist next? That would look real good in the chunky style

[@aaronj235]

Now you need some unarticulated PVC sidekick figure theys be packaged with like some same scale IG troopers or ripper swarms same as they had Trobbits with Blackatar

[@robolizard222]

I’d join the Patreon if you made a Necron figure. I love Necrons! It’s the robot and green combo.

[@cybertronbob]

I’m thinking about diving into Nomad Sculpt. Currently I’m sculpting by hand with a view to casting and this could speed things up nicely

[@kernsanders3973]

15:53 Both color schemes are OG, at least as far back when i played warhammer in the 90s. They are from different hive fleets., Hive Fleet Leviathan, Hive Fleet Kraken etc. Like different color space marines are from different chapters. So the OG color scheme is still canon in modern warhammer

[@slimehousetv]

@@kernsanders3973 ahhh cool to know!

[@fransaacs]

That's some next level production right there. What's next, OG Terminator Dreadnought Armour?

[@slimehousetv]

Sky's the limit! Thanks dude glad ya like em 🙏

[@chevy-is-a-good-boy]

Simply perfect, nailed the aesthetic yet again.

[@tappajavittu]

Damn I'd love to see you make a retro style figure of the OG 'nid hive tyrant and paint it in glorious 2nd ED colors.

[@WafflePrince]

I have an airbrush but no booth 😭 it’s always a struggle to find a cardboard box to use instead that hasn’t been tossed out by my mum lol

[@Nexus_Forge]

Ahh mate this is an incredible project. I was always an Eldar fan (or Aeldari to the noobs ;) Man after my own heart, I too have a list of figures I wanna see in the real world. I'm currently getting to grips with Blender so I can start churning out my own versions of existing IP but also got a few of my own characters and designs up my sleeve. Keep up the good work, its really inspiring and giving me the kick up the butt to finish projects I started decades ago. Looking forward to more content like this.
