Warhammer's BEST SPACE MARINES Rescued from eBay

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

What Space Marine Chapter do you feel stands out like Space Wolves do? There's just something about Space Wolves, they got to me I think...Super fun minis though and I really had a good time just sitting back and painting them up, not every model feels like that!

[@beltzrobert]

Space wolves stand alone. In both being memed on and uniqueness.

[@baconwake8562]

I love my Primaris, I got into the actual hobby side of 40K at the end of 9th, but there is something so nostalgic about the older, more stylistic marines that just speaks to me, so I've jumped into 30K for my fix. That being said it seems they're starting to bleed the character back into some of the newer sculpts for 40K, like the new Sternguard Veterans. They have that older warrior monk vibe the Primaris initially tossed out in favor of tacticool for a while. Grey Knights is my answer, btw. They desperately need new sculpts but I'm worried they'll lose some of their flavor.

[@MortRotu]

The salamanders probably come closest to standing out like the space wolves, but no other chapter outside of the really small specialist ones (grey knights, custodies) are really as customised as the Legion of Fenris

[@MiraSubieGirl]

Space Wolves was my first set but I never got into this hobby after that childhood attempt... (im a girl, it was the late 90s... I liked the cute doggy aspect of these guys). Just found your channel and well, theres a independant 40k retail store near me... and ive been loving total war warhammer 3!!! Going to walk in, spend 200-300 on mostly gear and a small unit of something that just makes my inner child smile. Ill be basically brand new at this, but I Aquascape... I have patient and will research and watch more videos etc... Wish me luck!

[@KhorneliusPraxxGames]

I am so glad you kept Charlie Brown's stripe on that one guy. 👍

[@BrushQuill]

Lovely work on these. I enjoy how supportive you are to the painters who's models you "rescue"

[@brionl4741]

I started out painting model cars & planes with enamels in the 70's, so by the time I started painting minis with acrylics in the 80's it was EZ-mode.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Thanks! I just want people to know that it gets easier and to not give up, I did for a long time and regret it immensely.

[@lukehenderson3273]

I agree the newer primaris space Wolves lack that detailed touch. They just feel like any other chapter. But I feel like that short coming has been taken up by third party companies.

[@jossypoo]

Completely. As a Wolves player, we all stockpile Wolf Guard Termie bits and the Wulfen Dreadnoughts.

[@joeythesoulless3518]

Agree aswell I like to take first born models and just scale them up to primaris

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Definitely agreed, the variety in bits you can get from literally everywhere else but GW is fantastic. It's just kind of a shame that they put that on their community instead of giving the people more variety and options.

[@leandromobile6927]

Agreed, i think GW should do like they did with the black templar and give us primaris versions of the space wolf specific units. Like primaris bloodclaws that come with 15 per box like the old ones, or the new primaris jump packs as new primaris sky claws, heavy intercessors can be remade into primaris long fangs, etc etc

[@TheRealTerranMarine]

I know the pain. I'm working on Primaris Wolves as my first army and I'm trying to find any bits to use that are SW revevant

[@shmups23]

My first army is the Space Wolves. After 10+ years, I took out this box, and I had a desire to restore them. Thank you for this video, it really inspires me to create interesting models

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

That's so awesome to hear! Good luck with those Space Wolves :)

[@antonjonsson424]

I really like that old space wolf kit, it had amazing head options and cool weapons

[@roryhatfield6696]

I love the way you pay homage to the original painter in every one of these videos

[@redwillow1853]

A buddy of mine who is in the army gave me some second hand space wolves and boy were they caked in paint. It took almost three days to get all of the models cleaned. The box even came with some extra bits that were from kits made in the 90's. I even got my hands on some metal space wolf terminators. Despite the models being considered dorky by today's standards, I still think they are awesome.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Very cool! What a great friend :)

[@redwillow1853]

@@eBayMiniatureRescues The best part, that I forgot to mention, was that mixed in with the bits was a paper banner in good condition. An old school pewter banner bearer is also one of the models I cleaned up. I hope to get them painted sometime in the future.

[@gamingaccount9551]

Thank you for the content you create, watching you inspired me to take on the hobby myself- i just ordered a big mashup of Orkz in all stages of completion (both AoS and 40k) from my local marketplace. Cant wait to see what I can do with them, cheers!

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

That's amazing to hear! Welcome to the hobby :) Orks are such a great place to start too, you're gonna have a ton of fun!!!

[@graefx]

I really do miss all the unique kit options from back then. We get more generic kits now and have the upgrade sprue, but i really miss when the kits had so much more character and different. Quality over quantity. Space wolves were one of the armies that first got my attention during 5th.

[@isisnmagic1812]

Great video , love to see a chapter I have yet to find and paint, thanks for pointing them out to me.

[@JakobEkman-bf6ez]

Always fun to see your projects, Casey!

[@philipstroud6327]

I have always been a spacewolves fan, way back when i even had the original leman russ metal mini with his wolves, wish i still had that model

[@DMortuus]

Amazing job. Love the miniatures you found and I believe this is your best rescue yet !! :)

[@eric831]

I completely agree! The new models lack so much creativity for the Blood Angels, Dark Angels and especially Space Wolves! We were spoiled earlier in the hobby with getting such detail and being open to converting models how we wanted them to look, instead multiple one pose models. Even with heavy conversion work, Primaris aren’t the same

[@TrailRat2000]

I love that "Charlie Brown" pauldron...

[@ddewcifer]

great models, loved the snow on not just the base but also the models themselves looks dope

[@epickingedward7378]

I literally just glue the sprues and bits from my child hood toys on the bases for basing, that way the stuff is always with me

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

That's a good way to go!

[@Mara999]

Most of the 40K products I've ever bought have been Orks, with Space Wolves as a lone exception, as they have some really great bits for kitbashing heroic barbarians. I still have a few bits left from a box of Grey Hunters I bought twenty years ago. :)

[@chrisday9297]

Nice use of the Paint Bravely Theme Extended Megamix Version at the start there :)

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Hehe, good catch! It's always sounded so Viking metal to me. Had to use it for this one lol.

[@fallstar7013]

Those are some beautiful Space Wolves my friend.

[@offroadturkey]

glad you did the charlie brown shoulder pad!

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Had to be done!

[@thecodex0994]

I used to add space wolfs (slightly modified) to my black templer army just to add some different model types to what would be a generic army.

[@NormandyFoxtrot]

you know questionable execution aside I actually really liked that the original painter tried to add snow to the top of some of the models armor and weapons to match the base. That was a nice touch.

[@Kahtini]

Love that you kept the Charlie Brown shirt stripe.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

had to be done!

[@Battlefang]

proper primaris space wolves will come.... eventually. until that day comes we have green stuff, the treasure trove that are the old bits and of course all the absolute legends that have supplied us with 3rd party space wolves bits (like the bases you used in this video)

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Crossing my fingers! But yeah the third party stuff and good ol greenstuff works great until then :)

[@ramini3465]

Great video and rescue! Recently I've got tasked with commishion to assemble, base and paint 2k points of Space Wolves. Logan, Krom, bunch of wolves, lots of Blood Claws, sum terminators. Beautifull sculpts, tons of leftover bits but fuuuuuuuuu** me, that's a lot of details to paint and heck of a work as my first commishion :D Kinda makes me not want to do this hobby anymore... Though I motivate myself with thought, that I will use money from this commishion to get me an airbrush ^^

[@Piecespatpaints]

Really enjoy these videos. Thank you for sharing them and inspiring others!

You'll get there man, just keep at it and make sure to look at your first model next to your newest one, you will see that progress!

[@piscinaiv7937]

Really nice save on this one!

[@sbellew9]

love the artwork and restoration of the minis! I'm wondering about the snow on the backpack/jump pack, wouldn't it melt and not really accumulate at all?

[@TwinSteel]

Awesome - maybe someday you’ll come across some space bears to work on

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

That would be great, the Space Bear Kickstarter is literally only a few days from ending, and all the puppets war bits that are already out there, it's only a matter of time really :)

[@pineconeduck]

Would love to build an old school wolves army and play some older editions.

[@cycoholic]

Casey, how often do you clean out your sonic cleaner. The bottom must get layered in crud.

[@Morrodin-WH40K]

He is waiting until they release the sonic cleaner cleaner

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Definitely not as often as I should. Even when I do clean it out I don't tend to "clean" the actual paint off the sides, the bottom does though. The liquid gets all sorts of colorful pretty quick with new models too so it looks pretty dirty lol. At least once a month I need to change it all out. So maybe 4 or 5 cycles worth all said and done. Usually with 5-10 models in there.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

lol, I just need a sonic cleaner big enough for my current sonic cleaner

[@cycoholic]

@@eBayMiniatureRescues Still, that's pretty impressive that you get that many uses out of the Total Awesome cleaner.

@@eBayMiniatureRescues thanks for the reply! Much appreciated. Next (potentially silly) question: what table are you using as your work area in vids? The black one. :)

[@jojomerou4075]

Need to share this. I just had the most bizare find... what can you do if you don't have glue ? on metal miniature .... you can soldered them !! Just found 2 High elves Dragon Princes with the body parts soldered.. The metal was melted at the junction point. Problem they are not aligned at all.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

lol wow! I mean, glue is cheaper and easier but I guess you've gotta use what you've got on hand. Hopefully, you can get those separated without hurting the minis too bad! Thanks for sharing, that's wild!

[@larssipollock157]

Any chance those models are back on the market? I'm looking to build a space wolf kill team

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

sorry, I didn't put these back up on eBay. I actually decided to keep them for the same reason, looking to start a killteam for this chapter!

[@johntailby74]

I like most of the work on these models. I'm not really a fan of the snow on the marines. it makes them look like statues rather than models that are moving. The armour would also likely produce heat, especially the backpack, which would melt any snow flakes and prevent it from building up.

[@nick-brothwood]

What was the song used during the reveal?

[@TommyG_0311]

Thanks for the video, I went on Coins and Collectibles and bought a bunch of space wolves minis for my army 😂😂 what did you use to clean them again?

[@iain-duncan]

What do you use for air quality with your 3d printer? Its my main holdoff on printing more

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

For the most part, I'm not too worried about it. I print in a finished garage away from my house, so it stays separated from people, but the printer I mostly use has built-in fans and filters on it, and I run an air purifier in my space so it is constantly circulating and filtering everything. My purifier has LED indicators on it for air quality and it generally runs clean, so I feel fine with it. I have no real way of knowing other than that, but I'm not sure what else I could be doing to help, maybe a hood with a vent out the window, but that seems like overkill.

[@iain-duncan]

@eBayMiniatureRescues I use a garage as well so I should look into those air filters. There's also safe resin I've seen but I have no idea how safe that really is. I know that resin fumes aren't the worst thing as the main side effect of them seems to be you develop a sort of allergy to them, so I suppose worst comes to worst it'd be no more 3d printing. The dust is what I know is really dangerous. Thanks for your answer!

[@ThatBikerDad]

dude i need you to do a paint up of a Carcharodon Squad of spacemarines

[@zilla.]

What are you using as stipper?

[@EatTheMarxists]

Man, you do such a great job! Is there anyone here in the comment section who can answer a question for me? My first model that I bought was a Reaper Cthulhu. I put way too much primer on it - that was three years ago and it’s still sticky. How can I remove that?

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Thanks :) Sticky primer is the worst! It seems to happen on certain types of plastic, I don't fully understand why, but if you throw it in some concentrated degreaser and toothbrush it off after a few days that should get it off. Alternatively, isopropyl alcohol, 97% and higher, should also be able to cut through that stuff pretty easily without damaging the mini. Beyond that there are some paint strippers made for miniatures that work, but are more expensive. Worth a shot though! I hope you end up getting that primer off :)

[@reags9074]

Can someone tell me the websites at 5:40

[@Doodlebob563]

Not sure what kits your buying but the ones I've picked up for Primaris Space Wolves are full of sculpted bits that you can put on yourself. Your marines can be an absolute mess of decoration if you want.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

There are some that have all the stuff and I think that's great! I'm talking about actual sculpted pieces of the model. These little guys have sculpted legs and torsos that are specific to them, another chapter couldn't use them. We just don't see as much of that anymore is all. I mean, I like the size and quality of Primaris marines but they are meant to cover the entirety of "Space Marines" and for you to paint them and glue bits on for your chapter. It makes sense from a production side, make more boxes that work with everything, but it feels like we are losing personal identity with some of the chapters.

[@Doodlebob563]

So you're mad that the bits are.... removable? I'm not trying to be an ass, I just genuinely don't understand. There are still lots of characters with sculpted in details and the rest are bits that you can attach any way you want. ¯\_(ツ)_/ ¯

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

@@Doodlebob563 no worries, I’m not taking it as such. Just talking hobby with people :) I’m not mad so much as I just see there are less cool options than there used to be and that’s a bummer. I’m definitely glad that you can put bits onto a model, but that isn’t exactly the same as a pre sculpted part that was in mind when the model got sculpted. It’s all personal preference of course, I just like the look of the old models and wish the newer models still had that kind of character to them.

[@ldiajvclxizo]

They look like my work from when I was a kid and just started. No idea what I was doing, didn't have anyone to teach me. Way before KZbin tutorials but having fun still. Thinning paints? What's that? Why do all my Marines look like they are melting,!

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

I can tell you spent some time writing this, but please, watch the video before commenting something like this. I didn't say anything bad about these models. The point of this is to address how hard the original painter tried but may have lacked some knowledge, I even compared them to some of my first models, and so here we are with easy painting tips to try and help people on their way. Not putting anyone down, just trying to lift people up.
