as far as im concerned, youre the bob ross of minature painting

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

That's very kind of you to say. Thank you.

[@matramogram]

@ of course! Hell your videos make me want to start my own second edition army as long as I can get the money for it 😂

[@malevolentswarm]

Always felt like Matthew has taken significant inspiration from Howard Moon myself ... I often wonder if he utilises "stationary village" to ensure easy access to paperclips and pencils 🤔

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

@malevolentswarm I have never seen a Howard Moon

[@abasheddevil]

I'm loving the Tom Waits tribute at the end.

[@daverage4729]

A very pleasant little surprise. :)

[@zeterzero4356]

I was just about to say something to that end.

"by what name are you known, brother librarian?" "there are some who call me...Tim"

[@Prophetofthe8thLegion]

Librarian, Space Marine Librarian, Librarian of the space marines, you know…

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

Oh I know

[@alienhoward2270]

I love librarians. My favorite; the Terminator Librarian, who in my army is named Travis. His last epic feat was slaying a wraithlord then heroicly teleporting off of the battlefield.

Yeah, that's 4.53kg in modern money.

[@DavidCuthbertson]

Oh yeah! I’d forgotten about all the different levels of Librarian! I’d forgotten the halcyon days of granularity!

[@DeathInTheSnow]

I remember when there used to be armouries. And individual points costs...

[@DavidCuthbertson]

I liked that you could be super-fiddly with points and that it mattered. Now it feels so basic. 😢

[@charlesweinert4116]

Not many people know this but it’s called farting around in the warp because it was discovered by Arkhan Fart.

I have finished watching every video on your channel and this is the first I get to watch within 1hr of it getting posted! Matthew, keep up the amazing work.

[@whynotusepaper468]

I really enjoy watching your videos! As someone who started hobby like 2 years ago i really appriciate you showing old pictures and rules! Thank you for making videos! Keep it up!

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

You're welcome, and thank you for watching

[@fatrhino]

God, that ending gave me an acid flash back. I really do miss the 90s sometimes. Excellent job on the painting!

[@CrashHeadroom]

I still don't know how I did it to this day but I ended up with a bunch of metal ultramarine special characters :S this guy is one of them. Always thought it was nicely designed, his staff was always a go-to for scratch builds back in the day too as he only cost £3:50p through the 90s.

[@jameslane-pritchard5002]

This is an early Christmas present for me. Thank you, Matthew.

[@sevenproxies4255]

Well Matthew, here we are again. A miniscape video, a porch, a cigar, and a glass of whisky, in freezing december. Cheers! And merry christmas!

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

Cheers. Merry Christmas.

I will be surprised if you manage to jam along to it this time

I love this channel. Its joyous when a new video drops. I too collect and paint Firstborn. Not strictly 2nd edition (though that was the edition I started on) but I'm not fussed at all about Primaris. Love collecting and painting metal minis

[@blueberrycheesecakesupremo7947]

Workington guy here. Carlisle GW was so exiting for me as a kid. Keep up the great work man. You really take me back in time with these videos.

[@oskarlonnqvist7074]

Wow, you can totally see the inspiration from this librarian to the one in Space Hulk 3rd edition!

[@mranthony_dop]

"what's he building in there?" 😏

[@euansmith3699]

Just imagine poor Belisarius Cawl's neighbours; they were asking themselves that question for 10,000 years.

[@zachhughes9149]

Excellent. Every army needs at least a handful of librarians, with them occasionally melting themselves and whatnot. Librarian in terminator armor is one of my few metal minis

[@isopropyl1314]

cant get enough of these oldhammer vids, luv it

[@isopropyl1314]

absolutely beautiful paint job too, makes me miss banners on the new gw models

I've been watching your channel for a while now. Thanks for the throwback to those goog old days. Can't wait to see the Chaplain! 😊

[@euansmith3699]

You are Matthew. This is Miniscape. I claim my £5. This is a very impressive librarian. Nice Tom Waits impression for the outro.

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

Which £5?

[@alexfloyd6272]

I just watched the video and lost it when the Tom Waits cover started. Emps must be away on business.

[@billistefansson5309]

Greetings and Salutations! Another jewel from days of yore. Really like following your painting process. I approve your method of painting yellow. Yellow pigments tend to be transparent so one should find a way to make that work for you. I have the Lexicanium 2 model and 4 of the old Space Hulk Terminator Librarians. Thanks and all the best, Billi.

[@wevminster234]

A particularly fantastic ensign there dude! 😎. Keep being awesome 😎

I have the same model somewhere, painted Blood Angels maybe 12-13 years ago. I converted his arm so he casts a spell - summon flaming skull.

A beatnik reciting poetry while high as the end song today is very fitting for a psyker.

[@cmbsgc]

"..Anyway, in the last video, I painted the Captain with a power fist." You did an amazing job on that Captain. But wouldn't it have been easier to just use a brush?

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

You joker

[@hairoku]

3rd and 4th edition are my bread and butter but I have to say that I absolutely adore the 2nd edition psychic system. For my money GW hasn't managed to make a psychic system since that even comes close. I'd love to see a deep dive into the psychic phase in 2nd edition that'd be a banger.

[@Part_time_spacemarine]

Worth the wait

[@basstedson]

Carlisle was my local aswell, always a highlight of a day trip south of the border. That and Tullie House obviously, who doesn't love a crossbow pointed at a ram skull.

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

I loved that crossbow

@@Miniscape-wh40k when you get right down to it, isn't that what good art is all about?

@basstedson fair enough, though I thought it was meant to be historical. I guess it can be both. I'm trying to remember what the voice said when you shot the crossbow

[@Tebo1981]

[@AnubisX1]

Wow Carlisle was my local store, and still is. I can still remember my 13 year old self spending the night there playing 40k, as they put on a coach for gamesday 96 from the store, which left at 5:30 am. Sad that they no longer allow upstairs to be used as a gaming area. Still the current staff are just as fantastic as the staff back then.

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

That was a sweet games room

[@AnubisX1]

@@Miniscape-wh40k yeah it was. Is funny how the layout of the store in nearly 30 years hasnt really changed. Though it was a sweet gaming room, with PS1 to boot!

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

@AnubisX1 were you there when they did the 3rd Armageddon war? That was one of my favourite memories.

[@AnubisX1]

Yup I was around for that, was a good one, the original 13th black crusade, where sadly my iron warriors didn't have much luck, but still a lot of fun. Shame GW retconnned the entire campaign. I also loved the battle gothic campaigns the store put on. Oh I miss that game.

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

@AnubisX1 I loved that game too. Never played much in store. Mostly played in my friend's bedroom

[@scottworley5384]

1995 was the year i , well actually two of my friends got me interested, playing and collecting War hammer 40K. I still have my Chaos Undivided Apocalypse Army at almost 4k points. Its a mix of metal and plastic minis.

I can't help thinking a rams head totem and all the skulls are a bit more chaplain esk or space wolvie maybe, a little conversion would go a long way here don't you think?

Was the "sword through a book", as the Librarian has on his right shoulder, a symbol of librarians in general before it was the chapter symbol for the Grey Knights?

[@samlauder1940]

Filigree pattern? Nah, the technical term is surely "squiggly-wigglies"? I've been calling them that since 2nd Ed... 😂 Was that a Tom Waits reference at the end there?

Is it worth noting that this 'ere Bookyboy has the same staff as Skeletor? Can't help but feel if I were me be painty I'd be all purple on dat bonky-pole.

[@CherokeeWill]

I have finally decided on a theme for my Dark Angels Space Marine Army with all 3 wings I collected over the past year. Instead of Dark Angels, they'll be the Light Angels. All the negative traits of the Dark Angels will have been corrected and will be akin to Salamander's morals. My Lionel Johnson proxy model will maintain the OG scheme though cause he's too stubborn to change and try to rewrite history.

[@1polvomagico]

Not to impose on the master, I saw your IF banner from the last video and the outline of the first on the banner seems to stark between the black and the dark grey. I suggest a first full outline of 50/50 dark grey+ black or something like a greenish very dark blue, like stegadon scale green, in just saying cause I used to have the same problem.
