WAIT, Old Warhammer Models Aren't Useless?

[@ShellbackCJ]

I'm new to the hobby, just joined an escalation league actually. This insight is super valuable for newbies like me that can't justify the high price of entry to the gaming aspect of the hobby. Thank you!

[@Biersteak]

Also consider, that older models - while looking less dynamic - also often function better as a game piece. They don't brake as easy, are faster to paint and could be easier to spot on the table.

[@DJRockford83]

With resin 3d printers being £140 (sub $200) and a single plastic kit from GW being £35 coupled with water washable non toxic resins now being available this makes it a good bet for the long run if you're a more casual gamer or a painter

I've got a 3d base designed for the old Be'lakor ready to print. It's a raised base that lifts him to the size of the new model and has him standing above carved demon princes of the 4 chaos gods.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

That sounds perfect!!

[@dlh567]

Thanks! I got really lucky and got a new, still in box metal Be'lakor for €35 on a local site here in France. Looking forward to printing and painting this, almost done with my Orks so I can start working on my demons again! Thank you for the inspiration! Buying old models and modeling large bases for them is a ton of fun and you're a huge inspiration there!

[@lordofswarm538]

I'm actually about to be doing a very similar thing to my old school metal Avatar of khaine using a broken webway gate/other structure from the dawn of war games. Now whether I will be making said webway gate or buying it off of ebay will most certainly depend on pricing for the eBay auctions.

[@MentoliptusBanko]

Thanks for the inspiration. I am assembling my new Belakor model and looking around for inspiration how to paint it.

[@Sturmensky]

For me, three big reasons to save old models is (a) to see how far you've gone, (b) because they're a piece of history, and (c) you never know when you'll use them. It doesn't even have to be in the original game! I've got a whole bunch of early 1990s pewter Brettonian models, and the unpainted/marginally painted ones have found a wonderful home with my Frostgrave mercenaries. Meanwhile, my metal Hellhound made a nice display piece to go alongside my Krieg killteam. Though in retrospect, I *deeply* regret removing the paint from my old sorceress - lost some history there. But the minimally painted stuff? Fair game!

[@trembichmovingmoments8778]

I have both the original metal and the new plastic Belakor. The new one is about 4 times the size of the old one honestly. It's also my favourite model in all of Warhammer so it didn't feel bad paying the price. I still regularly use the old model though. But to represent a generic Daemon Prince not as himself.

[@tycondrius23]

I was just going to say something similar , I still have a bunch of those first version greater daemons and they look dwarfed next to the current mini but still good as a daemon prince

[@GalianMode]

That's a great idea.

[@herculeholmes504]

There is a problem with these new giant-size miniatures: They are fragile as hell, and I think they are deliberately designed to be fragile. I've got an Archaon Everchosen still in progress; it's fully assembled but I broke a chain and a crow while building it (I am quite careful handling models) and the way it's supposed to secure ot the base is a joke; no amount of polystyrene cement is ever going to make it secure, so I ditched the plastic base for a wooden coaster base, added some scenery and pinned the tail into the scenery and heavily glued the scenery so that nothing would break off under the weight of the model. I added a rock-wall piece at the back to act as a handle. I reckon the Archaon Everchosen model normally has a lifespan of about two games before it gets badly broken to the point where it would have a badly reduced resale value. Also, if you ever build on of those things, be ready to run the wing parts under hot/boiling water to bend them into correct position, they do not go together easily. I wish I had; even after much sanding and filling there is a visible gap. I would also run a piece of brass rod all the way through the tail & body (and fill with milliput) BEFORE assembly as reinforcement. Something I noticed about old school metal miniatures is that they make much better figures as playing pieces; I'm not sure if that's by design or coincidental, but they are compact and rank up nice and square like chess pieces.

[@trembichmovingmoments8778]

@@herculeholmes504 I don't know the Archeon model very well (40k player only). But let me tell you this: glueing the old Metal Belakor together took me 35 tries with diffent superglues and green stuff. I permanently lost a piece of his tail. His feet don't place on the base well. His sowrd hand still falls off sometimes. The plastic one fits like a glove, is very secure on his base and his big wings I magnetized (easy with plastic models) for transport, but they would have fit perfectly as well.

[@herculeholmes504]

@@trembichmovingmoments8778 I think I might have a metal Belakor model, If I find it I'm going to take up that challenge! I've got a fair amount of sculpting ability so misaligned parts aren't too troublesome for me, and it's just the business of pinning and gluing I have to put effort into.

[@michaelsorensen7567]

Personal preference: would've done less white on the face. It's flat ghostly. Would've liked some yellow in the base glow for fresh hellfire look. Could've been echoed in the sword instead of green for compositional balance. Would've liked some spiky up bits added to the base, as if he fell like a meteor from the sky and cratered the ground so hard it created a dimensional rift.

[@chachachazki]

Love every aspect of the idea of salvaging and treasuring older models, in addition to saving money and making the more sustainably driven choice, it's a wonderful way of treasuring some of the old charm of the game and they just have a different feel to them. Awesome work on the model and the channel itself! Love every bit of it!

[@williamowens5144]

The new Belakor is incredible, no argument, but I think the old one still holds up and only wish it wasn't in Finecast.

[@trzynasty909]

I'm pretty sure that this exact model was cast in metal as well. Finecast was the only issue with it, because he honestly still is the best looking demon prince (because new Be'lakor is just so much larger than everyone else)

[@Samsminis]

Tape a second FEP under your vat for your new Saturn. If there’s ever any hole or spillage that happens when the FEP in the vat breaks, it will go on your protective second one and not ruin your screen. Also I got a flex plate on mine. Took a bit of work but it’s great for batch printing a bunch of flat bases.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

That's a good idea. I've never had any leaks, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time before one of these printers breaks on me. I also really want to get one of those flex plates, they look super handy!

[@atlas6538]

I think it would have looked a lot nicer if the base had more going on, like the new belekor, a throne/stairway would have given him a much needed hight boost

[@grenndal]

I agree. That base needed something more to bring him up. It is massive base and you could have done something to make it more interesting or as you said tell a good story. This just says he is standing on a flat surface

[@ribbon_dye]

Gonna agree as well. Despite saying you could raise older models up or do something interesting with the base.. Nothing was really done. Base was left fairly empty, only with the small details that were already on it, and left flat as well. More coulda been done to actually tell a story or have -something- done with it to be more visually interesting in that large empty space.

[@chikhai]

You're a braver man than me putting finecast in the ultrasonic. I always blast them with methylated spirits/denatured alcohol through the airbrush.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

I know what you mean, but if finecast is getting a bit bendy, the heat is great for setting parts back to normal :)

[@herculeholmes504]

That's a new one on me, I've never tried that before. Nice idea.

[@chikhai]

@@eBayMiniatureRescues Yeah, the heat can help like that, but don't sit them in there too long. I don't know if you've experienced this yet with finecast, but if the model is already warm when you expose it to the ultrasonic it has the effect of shot-blasting it. It'll pit the miniature (like finecast needs any help in that department) and tear open any weaknesses in the resin. I found out the hard/expensive way with some old hive guards. I haven't had to resort to that method for a while now, but when I did I used 5 minute bursts, letting the model cool off in some cold water for a couple of minutes before the next round.

[@chikhai]

@@herculeholmes504 Yup. It can be a little messy, but it works. Crank the pressure up and its as good as using a toothbrush once the meths has broken the paint down a little.

Recently, I've gone back to work on a few early FineCast that I'd gotten when it first came out.

If you use a sonic cleaner then the only issue you can run into it how hot the sonic cleaner makes the liquid. I ended up getting one with a temp gauge so I could monitor that. It mostly applies to resin models, they can get real bendy, on the other hand, you can also fox bendy resin models that way.

I also use the old pewter Great Unclean One as a Daemon Prince of Nurgle. The "normal" old pewter Daemon Prince I use as a Daemon Prince of Khorne. The Nurgle one is almost done painting and I think it is my best paintjob to date. I plan to top it with new plastic Abaddon though. One thing I found is that is is very hard to find good painting tutorials for the old pewter models. Sometimes they even barely show up on Google Image Search. So thank you for posting this. I might have to start painting old Belly K soon now. 😀

[@warmagic9312]

As far as playing the old models, everyone's play group is going to be slightly different. In competitive 40k the general rule of thumb for this is that your model should still resemble the new one as well as cast a similar silhouette. If its questionable if your model can be seen or see, your opponent generally gets to make the call. This is not so much specifically rules regarding new versions of models, but rather a rule meant to prevent modeling for advantage (which is a whole different issue) new vs old versions of models just happen to get caught in the crossfire. If you are ever unsure, ask your TO. If its a casual game, just let your opponent know before hand and if theyre upset you dodged a bullet anyways....

Base size only becomes an issue in tournament play.

Now if that base size happens to.be smaller tham current but it was the size the model you have was supplied with on issue, then leaving it on the same size is fine. Only tournaments would make a.stink because of measuring distances. If.you rolled up and dropped some old space marines terminators for.chaos and this guy, I wouldn't say a thing.

Another thing about Old GW... Customization and modification was part of the HHHobby.

40 bucks for a broken finecast belakor? That's more than the original price of the model oO

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Yeah they don’t come cheap anymore since they don’t make them, and the new one is like $120, so what can you do…other than not buying it at all lol.

[@leichtmeister]

@@eBayMiniatureRescues Not letting them rip me off. That price for a damaged out of production model is just audacius.

[@artycharr]

I know you said no money was exchanged but I think a printer at that price counts as "monetary".

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Kind of. I know what you mean, and how it seems, but I get emails all the time asking to do a video in exchange for a printer. Normally I have a sponsored fee for a video, not including the printer, lots of companies say no, or have strict guidelines for videos. Elegoo said they would do some sponsored stuff at a later date with another printer, and then proceeded to send me this one for nothing. No obligations or contracts, no money exchanged for a job to sponsor a product. Turns out, it's a very good printer, so I wanted to share my thoughts. I'm sure that's part of their plan, but I could have sold the printer in the box new and they would have never asked me about it again, so it seems fair.

Oh my God, you got _another_ 3d printer?! "You might know someone that has one" Casey has 97 now!

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Lol, I have a few these days.

[@Ulrican414]

You paid 40 usd for a broken beaten up Finecast model? That seller must have been laughing his ass off.

[@chadmrrsn]

I was looking for one a few weeks after the new one released and couldn't find one for under £50

[@Ulrican414]

@@chadmrrsn but why? Why would you spend that much money on a shitty model? Save up for a cool new belakor or just don't run belakor. Don't waste 40-50 bucks on an old destroyed finecast model. There's so much more you can do with 50 pounds.

[@chadmrrsn]

@@Ulrican414 I didn't buy it, I wouldn't buy a new belakor unless it was from ebay because I don't want to support gw and I am personally quite fond of the old model, it is definitely a model I would like to get

[@Ulrican414]

@@chadmrrsn if you don't want to support the company don't play their game... what a wierd logic. There are tons of miniature games out there, countless models to paint and collect that are not from GW. Buying GW stuff on the 2nd hand market playing their games and pretending not to support the company is absolut madness.

[@chadmrrsn]

@@Ulrican414 no it isn't, I want to play the games like without supporting terrible business practices buying from ebay is a good compromise
