Phenomenal! Your paint work is SO clean, and these sculpts are seriously impressive! This may just be my favorite episode of yours so far!

[@slimehousetv]

High praise my brother thanks a tonne!

[@lauriepenner350]

Your paint work looks great, but it's almost... too great? I'd love to see a slightly sloppy "painted for cheap in a foreign sweatshop" version. Or one with some dinged and damaged paint, like a real kid's well-loved toy that's waged a few too many exterminatus campaigns against your sister's Barbies.

Id say go for the Dreadnought custom! I can only imagine it as a behemoth of plastic atleast as big as a vintage party wagon with all manner of additional gimmicks baked in. Articulated fingers, lights and sounds, a hatch that opens to reveal the face of the chewed up marine underneath, and all kinds of hidden compartments for extra fire power and gadgets. The old Toybiz Mecha Hulk along with the vintage Optimal Optimus both come to mind.

Pro Tip for painting yellow. Paint it over pink. Sounds weird, but pink covers really well over other colours and yellow goes down nicely over the top.

Whoa!!!! These are PERFECT representations of the 90's toy aesthetic... I remember Kay-Bee toys (not sure if you guys had that store in the UK-- kind of a mall-based toy shop chain that was huge in the 80's and 90's here in the States) being absolutely jammed with big, chunky, 5-8 POA figures like old ToyBiz Marvel figures or Kenner Aliens vs Predator and Terminator figures... this design you've made fits in perfectly with them!

Glad you think I did the look justice 🙌

[@supermariojean]

@@slimehousetv no problem as a fan of Warhammer you did a really nice job honestly and well I congrats you for that.

[@Nomand55]

Ok, to explain, the White arrow is the codex symbol for a battle line unit, meaning just a marine with a simple boltgun. The gold/yellow trim means he's part of the 2nd company of the 10 companies a codex compliant chapter has. 1st company has white, 2nd yellow/gold, 3rd red, 4th green and all the others have their own. The 10th is a pure scout company.

[@papastormcrow]

I remember those pots...Enchanted Blue, Snot Green...loved them...got them in the early 90s and was still using some of them around 2011-2012 while newer GW pots had dried into acrylic plumb-bobs in just a year or two...lol

@@badblood1644 nice one dude!

[@encouragingthings]

These are fantastic! I've never gotten into 40K more than just the video games, but had these been out in the 90's I'd have been absolutely mad for them! The paint is amazing, the size is excellent, and the whole aesthetic is exactly what I think of when anyone mentions 40k. Wonderful work!

[@slimehousetv]

The kindest of words thanks so much 🙏💯👊

[@astrozombiac3535]

Those are sick as hell. The way they're designed could lead to a lot of modularity. You know, if you retooled the center of the Aquila you could make that modular as well. A skull, tear drop, maybe even drop a costume gem in there. For content creators I'd say midwinter minis and MS Paints, if you don't mind international shipping I'd say Maniac and Ninjon.

[@cathopreicon]

aah they'd totally have a crystal or like a Visionaries style hologram!

[@Baalur]

For Ultramarines and chapters following the Codex Astartes very closely the color of the trim on the pauldron denotes the company the marine is part of. The second company of the Ultramarines uses both yellow and gold (just like the first company uses both silver and white). The wings on the chest have no standardized color as far as I know. Fantastic retro action figures. I especially like the red and black Space Marine (my own custom chapter wears black armor with red pauldrons and faceplates). It reminds me of the Flesh Tearers color scheme.

[@slimehousetv]

Thanks dude, appreciate the info too 💪

[@poolee77]

The Imperialis (winged chest symbol) is typically gold but can be other colors. For Ultramarines gold is extremely common.

[@Twulfster]

Fantastic production quality, process breakdown and end result is pitch perfect to the era of toy you’re emulating. What a gem of a channel!

[@slimehousetv]

@@Twulfster hey appreciate that much respect!

[@BigMekDanskull]

In terms of heraldry, gold and yellow are interchangeable, hence the yellow trim on the 90s marines. The same applies for white & silver too. Great vid & lovely looking toy at the end

[@nakenmil]

First off: this is FANTASTIC! I've never seen your channel before, but this is so cool! I'm sure someone else has pointed this out, but the vertical arrow on the shoulder literally means it's a Tactical Marine. An X-shape with arrowheads in each direction means it's an Assault (jump pack) marine, and Devastator Squads have a triangle/delta symbol. These are just the basic "Codex Compliant" symbols, though, because the codexes always offer a bunch of alternatives.

[@slimehousetv]

@@nakenmil great to know so I don't mess any up when I do the next ones 😅💪

Great stuff. They did make a large resin statue that was some 8 inches high back in the late 90s. But it wasnt a toy, just a solid figure. Ive a space wolf version but the defo made an ultramarine as well. The weapon you wernt sure about is a flamer, because of the vented muzzle.

another amazing video man. words fail to communicate just how impressed I always am by your efforts. I was especially content when you began discussing how you designed your marines with reuse and modularity in mind. From the minute you pointed out the snap on soles, I was fixated on the idea of blowing up the base marine to Shogun Warrior/Jumbo Machinder scale and outfitting this hypothetical giant with all the bells and whistles standard with those toys. Snap on roller skates, modular fore arms that can function as anything from launching projectiles to a base for a giant morningstar weapon, in addition to all manner of other accessories from jet packs to entirely new limbs. In anycase its just food for thought but you really aced this set of figures. Then again you always deliver!
