Is there any miniature that's more cursed than the my little pony looking robot titan that the bright stallion is?

[@thomads3890]

I built one out of two Wraithknights for full 40k scale. And I am in deep Love with it. Unpainted tho sadly :-(

[@tawesssoabbox]

I mean.... I am sure there is.. But it do sit solid in the top 5 at least.

[@Bobrzy_kleptoman]

am I dumb or did you leave a comment 8 hours before uploading?

[@oitoitoi1]

sigmarines.

[@thrakdain2161]

1980s pygmy miniatures are pretty cursed

[@triangulan]

I quite like the Bright Stallion! Definitely better than the derpy ass "Warden" knights waving their rocket launcher butts in the air.

[@wayneziegelemyer2161]

Exactly

[@kassi420]

Man the original Warden Knight looked like a Mega Man enemy that farts rockets…

[@wayneziegelemyer2161]

@@kassi420 There are three version of the warden(it doesn't deserve a capital) and each is worse that the other two.

[@Wolfineer_]

Or the old daemon cannon which was literally a demon on all fours with a cannon barrel sticking out of it's a*sehole for shooting.

[@johnbursi2804]

I was kinda hoping we’d get a 40K scale bright stallion to joust with cerastus knight lancers.

[@y-adouradou446]

i dont find the stallion that ugly

[@cbjewelz]

Haha I do plus the fact that it feels so out of place lore-wise. Doesn't seem like Eldar should have machines designed millions of years ago based on a horse/four legged hooved animal.

[@westkoastdogg6680]

BRONY!

[@Ainar86]

@@cbjewelz And yet they are themselves humanoid... Also, wasn't there like a planet with dinosaurs inhabited by some Eldar? Warhammer lore is so inconsistent that this is really the least of its problems.

[@cbjewelz]

@@Ainar86 Yea true. I guess it's easier to believe there are reptilian/dinosaur creatures all over the galaxy vs a horse. A horse is a very specific animal. Honestly I think the concept could work but this is just ugly ha

[@maninalift]

The bright stallion looks like it's actually capable of locomotion. The imperial knights and titans almost all look like they will fall over if they lift one of their legs.

[@wayneziegelemyer2161]

The worst? Hardly. Not even the worst Epic Knight. Have you SEEN the Knight Wardens?

[@Octarinewolf]

It isn't even the worst Eldar Knight, That would be the Fire Gale.

[@wayneziegelemyer2161]

The hooved one leveling it's gun looks good. The other two....yeah

[@doragonzx]

Have you seen The old Harlequin Wraithlord? That thing look like a litteral Trollface

[@wayneziegelemyer2161]

Oh man I looked. Why did I look?

[@doragonzx]

@@wayneziegelemyer2161 You can now hear the Faint laugth of the Jester God

That minis isn’t cursed it’s super awesome!

[@Brumakh]

if you eat ecstasy daily, yes.

[@blackraptor311]

It's not ugly. It's not cursed. It simply 40K.

[@Lachdonin]

Squidmar here, making fun of literally my favourite model of all time, that I've always wanted in plastic.

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

I just don't get it, why is it a horse robot. Why not just give it wheels? 😅

[@Wvoggenreiter]

@@SquidmarMiniatures Wheels on an eldar model 🤣

[@Lachdonin]

@@SquidmarMiniatures Centaurs are rad, man.

[@jaega4247]

@@SquidmarMiniatures That logic goes for any walker though! Having four or more legs would at least make it less likely to trip and fall over.

[@mscrockett6827]

Mine to, I never got an epic one but my sister has 2 and loves to tease me about it.

[@pedrokantor7972]

the Bright Stallion has always been one of my favourites 🤕

[@shwah8299]

Still waiting for something worse than a Grey Knight in a baby carrier with a big metal diaper.

[@pguity]

Disagree. This mini is actually awesome. I wish they make a modern version

[@alagass6466]

That would be a great model to get a redesign from GW.

[@redbeardie]

WTF?! This is one of my favourite old minis! I’ve been hoping for ages that they do an aspect warrior version of it! Such an awesome concept!

[@wolfgangxstudios8766]

Honestly, when you put it next to the other minis, both eldar and imperium, it doesn’t look bad. Honestly the most I could say is that it looks “bad” the same way old pewter miniatures look “bad”. Not to mention that the idea of a centaur mech is juts a cool, and barely exploded concept.

[@SignoreWiki]

Emil jumping from his couch when seeing Bright Stallion pieces on a Storage Wars episode and the guy going "Naaah, it's probably not worth anything". Nice vid!

[@chrisperry8220]

I like the figure. alot. heck out the horse mech from the animal Panzer Galiant. This design is much cooler. There were several plastic models and several garage kits for this horse mech. These would make great foundations to kit bash into 40k scale knight

[@judeblack4360]

The Bright Stallion deserves a plastic reimagining. Epic/Armorcast just doesn't do it justice.

[@alexjones1027]

For a while I felt sure that this was going to end with "So we bought it"

[@youtubevanced4900]

Biggest anti climax ever

[@steffenhenriksen6530]

Friendship is magic and magic is heresy!

[@wellwasp]

This thing is awesome, and far cooler than the wraith knight, if its not a weaponised space tractor then its no knight to me.

[@mistercastillo6517]

considering i had wanted to, as a fairly new 40k player, create a quadrupedal war walker, this is a fantastic thing to have discovered today

[@nesnahprotsdam]

I keep choking on laughter every time I see the old Nagash mini. Discount D&D lich vibes.

[@adriannaranjo4397]

God I can't imagine having a literal unique 1 of 1 model in a huge lot and it being lost because no one at the time realized what it was

[@TrentRosenbaum]

I loved the Bright Stallion and I think it's only curse is that it is not around. It's different and reflects Exodites very well. I hope you can track down the larger model. It is a gem. ❤

[@andreibaciu7518]

I actually find the futuristic centaur concept quite interesting. There used to be a trading card game called "Duel Masters" where one of the races had a series of creatures that were biomechanical centaurs made of liquid crystals, that's the only instance i can recall of a work featuring a futuristic take on a centaur.

[@psychoobst33]

You should definitely try to make a bright stallion conversion in 40k size and try to fix the perceived problems you have. Make it as awesome as possible

[@bradiq306]

Ngl I love it, it’d be awesome to see one with a harlequin or banshee style mane in the sigmar style of sculpting

[@MaxVEvans-nx5im]

The towering destroyer looks awesome, I want its return in full scale and modern sculpt now ! or might give it a shot in scratch build myself

[@euansmith3699]

Most cursed mini in Warhammer history? cough cough Pygmies cough cough. 😱😱😱🤢🤮

[@laflecack]

the modern conversions prove the idea that a centaur mech IS cool, but looking at the original sculpt i get why maybe people wouldnt think its great (i however love it)

[@MrNigzy23]

As an Armoured Core fan, the Bright Stallion looks like something from that. The more I look at it, the more I like it!!

[@kyokyodisaster4842]

Like a weirdly fantastical quad yeah... Almost reminds me of something that Mirage would make in the playsation 2 games?

[@chasing40greypainting81]

Video 1 of me commenting on every video of squidmar until Emil and Lukas build an awesome 'Daemon-Train-Diorama'😏😏

[@ElGoro]

"10 years older than Lucas." Christ I feel old.

[@Bobdob3000]

You should make an Ork video explaining how age of sigmar and 40K are related

[@user-bm4nk4zh3q]

He could make a blob of chewing gum look like it could win golden demon

[@HereticalKitsune]

Sagittarius Knight? Yes, sign me up, that's a great idea! I really like the concept, adds a real unique touch.

[@exteriorcobra1575]

We need a full size version of this now

[@MrWizzyfizzy]

Gona be honest, for an ancient model the bright horsey looks pretty awesome. Great concept also, all our fastest land animals have 4 legs why wouldn't a space alien.

[@torotteson]

I kind of... disagree entirely. It's goofy and awkward, but the base design is pretty cool

[@hanneskasel1853]

I think Anrakyr the Traveller is also worth mentioning, because he is serial failcast, legs are bend 30°

[@spartangaming2336]

YASSSS SQUIDYBOI! SO happy you getting your left sleeve done!

[@davidivarsson6264]

I was waiting for the ”If this video gets 200.000 views, we will build and paint a 32 mm scale version ”

[@Gunmetal.R33]

If you could get ahold of the mini it would be cool to see a community build to make it more eldar like and give it a 2024 spin on what it could look like, with modern ideas and talent it would be interesting to watch. It would be a quite literally "fixing everything wrong with the mini" video as well as a new paint scheme!

[@axlefoley6330]

I can definitely see what they were going for. A knight that is like a centaur because they are elves. But I think that mini was a case of “go back and do it again”.

[@alwoodsmodellingmayhem]

I had an Epic Eldar army back in the day (I am 58 now!), but I did not field these as i didn't like them or the other versions. I had the Eldar Titans that were so cool, but kept wanting to fall over as they were all metal. The old Epic was such an awesome game so thanks for the memories.👍👍😉

[@christophersteen1873]

For Epic they often had multiple sculpts because you would field 3-5 of them. Especially for the single cast ones like this.

[@brionl4741]

Back in the '90's I used to run into Tim and the other Armorcast guys at conventions in California.

[@_narcosis]

i love these warhammer investigative history videos, can't wait for the bright stallion redemption arc!

[@coltonbench2549]

I am more wondering about both of them getting new tattoos

[@Daedricsoulslayer]

Great now I want Emil to build one and paint it

[@arishiakoneko]

I had some of these. Heck, I might still have some of these somewhere. I have a pretty massive Epic Space Marine army, and had a few units of Eldar for giggles. I actually really like this mini a lot. I might be the only one, but I think they're pretty cool.

[@francoisc.3589]

I might have bad taste, because I have always found this design so cool!

[@manyslayer5889]

AS someone that has played since 2nd edition, I have never seen this model and it is glorious. This would tempt me to play Eldar more than almost anything else.

[@freddywilliams9837]

It's something that definitely deserves a second chance from GW. I think the original sculpt is a little goofy by modern standards, but I think it's got a lot of potential to be made into something cooler and more slick!

[@ramonfores8351]

As a exodite collector i am absolutly amazed about this video. Thx so much.

[@phm6834]

Bright Stallyns be like: be excellent and party on dudes!

[@malcolmjcullen]

Hey, I remember buying all these when they came out! Think I still have one or two in a box somewhere.

[@aerouge4492]

Duuuude ... calling the Stallion cursed when the Chaos Toilet is a thing? Come oooon...

[@chroniclesoftinybattles]

A Wraith Centaur ? Well that is pretty epic. I always appreciate the history you bring on the miniatures.

[@CyberWallX]

Honestly, I expected worse after the intro... Compared to the Ork cheerleader thats a beauty lmao

[@chrisc3028]

I was definitely expecting this to be the Chaos Toilet mini

[@adamdoughty813]

I went to games day 92 and there were quite a few conversions where people had made warlock and phantom titans into 4 legged centaur eldar titans. They were awesome.

[@TheWowmart]

Have you guys never seen the original carnifex ? You know nothing of ugly 40k minis until you see this

[@Lurkzz]

You look like the combination of Danny Saucedo and William Poromaa haha, great video anyhow!

[@TTQWorkshop]

Maybe its just me, but i love the old and wierd minis. Also would love to own the original armorcast of this pointy ear horse dude :D

[@MrAcuta73]

Wait...WTF was wrong with the Ork cheerleaders? They were PERFECT!!! I'll give you cursed, but in ALL the right ways. Awesome minis.

[@silverczaja]

i think the mini is a cool idea, the epic scale is a failure in general, but it would be nice to see once made in plastic with modern details

[@vegaskatus]

I always liked the bright stallion, I'm not sure why you thought this was worse than Nagash or the orc cheerleader. I think the only problem is the strange looking helmet.

[@johnfarscape]

That's knowhere near as odd looking, as the imperial knight Wardens, the one on a giant tank track is particularly strange.

[@1992davidus]

It would be awesome if you guys built your own version of the model!

[@dragonet111]

The Razorgore from fantasy battle back in the day was …… special

I think the Pygmies from Warhammer Fantasy might be a contender.

[@villekaapro8011]

It is crazy how long ago it was when I started painting WH40k miniatures now that I think about it. It was around 2000-2001 😆. Haven´t painted for over a decade now, but it just crossed my mind. I´m loving your channel ❤. Brings back memories 👍

Do you think in the year 40,000 people will be looking back on Games workshop wondering “what were these people in the 20th century even thinking the future would look like?”

[@thewatercyclist]

I bought these Eldar knights when they came out - they are awesome!

[@tommyb8706]

I would love to see you redesign this model- heck even all the aeldari knights and exodites. I would love to do it one day- planning on doing using lumineth models as the basis as they look like they take pride on their smith skills. The spirit of the mountain figures could be made into cool knights. And iv swear ive seen someone photobash the destruction centaur guy with lumineth armour plates- could be a good model for the bright stallion. I know what you mean though. All centaurs look a little durpy. Their weight does seem well distributed.

[@RaldoronWOR]

This was quite enjoyable

[@Nidhoggrr]

I would love to see a modernized 3d print of this horror at knight scale.

[@liamcolliermusic]

I would love to see a modern day line of these eldar knights….perhaps alongside the exodites….? Maybe that’s wishful thinking 😂

[@trevortheoggamer647]

Should make a full size one using 3d printing and converting

[@greybeardgamer2067]

I've seen an Armorcast Bright Stallion, btw. I used to game with the owner of "ForgeryWorld", the first "Forge World" (not the company you know and love today) and there was a huge hubaloo over licensing rights and "recasting" which you mentioned briefly in the video..."ForgeryWorld" never produced any of the Bright Stallions of their own. But if you've ever seen Armorcast Titans branded "Forge World", that's what's up.

[@waynegoddard4065]

I'd chop it up to convert a Night Lord or just used bits for the base.

[@Mara999]

I've seen way worse. I think a weird space-elf robo-centaur piloted by a ghostr could be pretty cool. :)

[@AlexJaneway]

Real question is what is up with the non-lance arm. But yes I like the Bright Stallion, if you consider how the the rest of the epic stuff was built it has more from than a lot of the other knights. Keep in mind imperial knights at the time where built in mimicry of the Eldar Knights.

[@ChokedByHalo1]

I think its not that bad. An Eldar centaur? Sounds pretty nice

[@brendonrogers33]

This might be the silliest take I've seen for 'most cursed mini' yet. It's fun!
