We looked at ALL Warhammer minis ever made - to find the best!

Together with two of my Favorite KZbinrs ‪@Miscast‬ and ‪@MidwinterMinis‬ I went through 40 years of Warhammer miniatures to find the best figure from each decade. We had lots of fun hanging out, discussing our favorite warhammer 40k, warhammer fantasy and age of sigmar miniatures. Hope you have just as fun watching us!
Spoiler: We talk about miniatures like Rogue Trader Space Orks, Nurgle, Warhammer Giant (gargant) and the original plastic Space Marine to mention a few.

90's pick: The original Eldrad Ulthran. One of the best Jes Goodwin sculpts ever (and he has a lot of good ones). A sculpt so good that when they updated it to plastic, they hardly changed a thing.

Archaon on horse, Is my favorite of all times. I never played Warhammer Fantasy, but I had to buy this one. Usually I painted models for all my friends, but this one I bought just for me, cause I really felt in love with it. I really wished to see it in this video, and maybe I have to buy it again, even when I'm out of the hobby for a long time and sold all my miniatures a long time ago.

[@jamiewarne9066]

Agreed. This is the model that drew me back in and was used in a lot of the golden deamon compatitions. Based on the painting of Napoleon.

early 2000's Archaon is literally the quintessential Warhammer Fantasy mini in my head from that time I still have one NIB that I just pulled out of my closet as well as 2004 Chaos Warriors NIB. I just got back into the hobby and am so happy I still have those from my earlier days of loving Warhammer

[@tigolbitties8008]

I'm so glad you mentioned Archon on Dorghar. It's such a classic model and great for conversions - I've got a bretonnian conversion I've been working on with it. I've been trying to find another one of eBay but they're super expensive or janky recasts.

[@johanhalvarsson2148]

I really loved the plastic carnifex kit. For me, it kickstarted my love for magnets and the model was just so menacing at the time.

[@zedatkinszed1216]

80s Kaleb Daark 90s The Green Knight. Honourable Mention Talisman Dark Elf Sorceress. Iconic as all hell. And made of plastic. 2000s Juan Diaz Daemonettes!!! Seriously none of you mentioned these??!! 2010s Plastic Witch Elves! I mean come on. They're Witch Elves in plastic and I still can't believe they're 7 years old - they look just as good as any other sculpt to this day. These models have a special place in my heart they got me back into the hobby in the 2010s. And their predecessors were the ones that got me into Warhammer in the first place in the early 2000s! 2020s so far... The Indomitus Assault Marines - Primaris with bolter and chainsword - 'nuff said

Yeah, the new Indomitus chaplain is great. Looks exactly like the updated version of the 90's chaplain, like you said.

I lived 40 miles from the original Citadel miniatures factory in Newark in the 80’s. You could turn up at the factory and they would let you pick any figures and models from there storage bins and then charge you by the weight of the metal. I found some fantastic figures that were never released to the public. I wish I had kept them.

[@javierguajardo2726]

that 1 second of metal Emil stole the whole video loool

[@KD-yb9nf]

Just wanna write a little something down here, super glad i stumbled upon this channel. I miss warhammer so much, from the US so aside from ordering theres not many stores left at least where I live. I remember getting my first box of 40k for a birthday when i was a kid, was tyranid gaunts. Walked by a games workshop in a mall near me and insisted that i collected every bit they had in that store. Suffice to say it didnt happen but it started something crazy, must've built 3 or 4 armies, even got warhammer units just to build and paint, was super young then so the employees at the store said warhammer mightve been too complicated to start with so they pushed me towards 40k. Anyways think my mom bought me the box about a month before my birthday actually was but i found the spot they were hid and no joke I sneaked a look at the box every single day leading up to my birthday lol. Sadly that store closed a year or 2 after that to my dismay, was hard pressed to find another spot that sold em at least to the same extent. I did managed to find another small hobby shop that had a select bit of some of the armies but they overpriced em even more. Then that placed moved and as the years went on they flexed out more and more of the warhammer for other more popular stuff. I still have a bunch buried away, this channel might be the inspiration i need to bust em out and pick it up again. And I'm sry lol, maybe i was a little late to the warhammer party but I always thought the older models looked hideous haha. Anyways just thought to leave a little note, found the channel last night, loving the vids I've spam watched and your painting skill is absolutely insane.

[@jakubtyrakowski]

Black Reach was my entry point. Seeing this drive me right back, when I sit in dark cellars with friends playing, painting, building minitures and terrain. It was awesome! Back then I already loved the Adeptus Mechanicus. However the army was released when my old group broke apart. Luckily I have new friends who play Warhammer 40k and after around 10 years I'm fully into the hobby again. And now with my beloved Ad Mech.

Amalia Novena was so epic when it came out!

[@soupalex]

bittersweet to see the 40k scale thunderhawk to get an honourable mention... the epic scale version is, for me, the coolest mini that gw ever put out (i have a soft spot for the epic scale dreadnoughts, too... maybe because epic 40k space marines were the first army i ever collected, but still, there's something about those sculpts that sets them apart from their larger brethren)

My brother and I spent all summer painting models and playing 40k. I played Marines and he played Nids and I would lose almost every game we played but we had such a blast

[@LegoGuyChris]

Guy always looks like an excited little kid. He’s a swell little fella

[@Nevets1073]

For the '80s: The Gob Lobber. It's technically more than one model, though. It's the first mini I'd ever seen, it tells a great little story, and you got a little goblin all netted up and ready to be flung at the enemy! In the '90s: The Avatar of Khaine. This model was a great update to the original and showed how truly immense he is compared to your average Eldar. The pose is dynamic and it was so fun to paint. For 2000-2009: I'd have to say the Lord of the Rings Balrog. 2010-2019: Roboute Guilliman. The Daemon Primarchs are great, but somehow seeing a Loyalist Primarch was reinvigorating to me as both a painter and a player. 2020: The Triumph of St. Katherine. Like the Gob Lobber it's not really one model, but come on. It's brilliant.

[@WH40KHero]

MY favourite model is that chaos lord from that starterbox where they pitted Dark Angels against Chaos Marines

[@PatchGuilf]

Fun fact; the 90s marine used to be (might still be) printed on GW franked postal envelopes for business to business post.

[@MilesBergstrom]

If I had to choose a kit, the original Fellowship of the Ring box that was sculpted by the Perry Brothers is just so hard to beat from a detail perspective, especially Aragorn and Frodo.

[@megaicon6108]

The green knight makes my list no matter what. The standout mini from a range thats come to represent a time before gw went to the gutter. Having painted it the mini is gorgeous from every angle and allows for creativity that modern minis dont

Awesome video !! I stopped playing around 1999 and also started playing metal music. A few records later and tours - 3 sons that got me back into 40k!! Orks forever!

[@OldHammerMiniPainter]

The 80s were probably the most fun era for me with citadel miniatures, even though later during the 90s i would be producing injected moulds in a factory for GW, the 80s were just a bit more magical because i was a teen in that time, and the metal miniatures always felt like something special, the high impact polystyrene moulds for me, lacked the character and uniqueness that most metal minis had. I think my fav citadel mini in the 80s was Sir Loin Foul Breath the Minotaur, a massive axe in one hand, some talons for the other hand, hunched over and just so cool. Being bought up on early Sinbad films really got me into greek mythology at a young age, and when we discovered citadel, we all fell in love with the figures.

[@Hudson316]

The 2000's I'd say the best things that came out that I remember are the plastic Dread kit for space marines, and the plastic Land Raider. Both were a step up in detail and posability compared to anything else in the space marine lineup at the time, and the opening door and paintable interior on the land raider were amazing.

[@emdeo]

2 wood elf collectors and no Waywatchers of any era mentioned? Those are my all time faves, all of them.

[@michaeltunnicliffe4935]

For me that mono-pose Space Marine is so iconic because not only was it the first model i ever owned but because of the giant stone statue of it outside Warhammer World in Nottingham UK. That is Warhammer for me

[@Josiah_Trelawny1]

The "Assault on Black Reach" Set brought me into Warhammer Tabletop as well. The Deffcoptas in this Set are so well made and unique. Ive bought the set 4 times (3 times for less then 20€ in a random toy store)

[@RottenMechGaming]

Nice overview with some sweet memories. My personal taste finds it tough to find anything pleasing from the "middle ages" of GW models from late 90's through early 2000's. However it's great to look back and find the little nuggets of good work amongst the range :)

[@dm51964]

The Pink Horror sculpts from the late 80's were made by Kev Adams and he took photos with a instant polaroid camera of the studio staff but told everyone to pull faces when he took the photos. I was one of the people working in the painting studio at the time and it was bizarre seeing the photos used for the sculpts. All the best, Darren Matthews

Great video.

[@simondale2833]

Great video and I love the minis chosen. (And there are so many to choose from.) Those early 40k dreadnoughts were certainly impactful. While I adore the ork dread and the goblin pilot nailed into it, they are edged out by the eldar dreadnoughts. My first glimpse of those spindly alien lines and the blank carapaces looming in the breach of the castle wall in WD 100 and I was infatuated and adamant that these were the best things ever. Three decades and I still love them to bits.

[@Tremadog102]

I think one of my recent favourites was the Imperial Knight kit. It picked a model so obscure I barely remember it, never mind owning it and brought it kicking and screaming into modern times. It looks both noble and brutal thanks to the massive chainsword and it's been the canvas for some incredible paintjobs and some mindblowing conversions. It's become popular enough to spawn an entire army with it's own chaos spin-off.

[@davidmarkley3015]

I started with 40K in 1990 with the original box of plastic space marines. I am a fan of beakies.

[@teamredshirt]

This was fun. I do think the Defiler deserves an honourable mention, it’s not the greatest model they’ve Made, but all the articulation points and extra bits have made for some really cool conversions and display poses. That first box came with so much stuff, I’m just now, nearly twenty years after I bought my Deffy, using the last of the spikes and demon faces and other chaosy bits with the chaos starter box I picked up last week.

[@testosteronetom7366]

Watching this video makes me think about my army of Valhallan Ice Warriors. Im realtivly new to the hobby, comeing up on my 2nd year in and I've already amassed a large collection because of how much I Enjoy it, but in my early days when I bought my first box of Tau my friends were telling me about the Imperial Guard and showing me what they looked like in the Killteam rulebook. I Was interested and started to look into the Imperial Guard when I found a video about the Valhallan Ice Warriors and I was hooked. I Dashed over to google to see if these madmen had any models and I was sad when I found out that they were no longer in print. I could find small groups of them on ebay, but nowhere near enough to make a whole army. So for a while I had been planning out how could I convert myself an army of Ice warriors through kit-bashing Bolt Action and guard kits. But then in Febuary they announced that for a limited time they would put the Valhallans back up on the market and It was like Christmas come early. I snatched up the platoon and I've worked hard to make these models the best in my collection, my first fully painted army, and by far the most striking. The Models in my opinion are just simply my favorite models in all of wargaming, there is just so much character in each of the sculpts that really just set the scene of the Relentless, unending Ice Warriors who will stop at nothing to achieve victory as well as they keep a soft spot in my heart as these old metal models from a faraway time, discontinued, but standing still and holding up rather well to even some newer models.

1997 - A month after the Thunderhawk appeared on the horizon a lot of guys (sorry, no women were geek enough) went for the cheapest food available to cover the expense to get that wooden box with lots of metal (and lots of thin wire to get it together). There was hunger going around in one of the GW headquarters in Nottingham at that time. Then there were the well fed heretics who did not pre-order that gorgeous Thunderhawk. Imagine that joyful moment at Games Day that year when there was not one, not two but really three METAL Thunderhawks on the GD display! When I suffered that much just for one imagine the soul (and body) starved one that allowed THREE of these magnificious tools of the Emperor to appear on the display!

It's not an official mini, but for nostalgia reasons I wanna bring up the Ghoritch rat ogre conversion that was in the White Dwarf (Issue #311, I looked it up!). I'm pretty sure those couple of pictures are what opened my eyes to converting and kit bashing back in the day. I was and still am an ork player, and the damn thing looked so good with old Ghaz's power klaw!

Whoa, what was the metal band you were in? I never knew you did music lol

[@te9591]

Black reach changed so many 90's kids lives. I remember hustling the crap out of my parents just for mcragge. Then a few months later they dropped black reach and maaaaaannnnn. The awe the beauty of those orks man. The sheer hype running through you and your mates suddenly unstoppable 30 marine 60 ork forces from splitting it. Ahhhhhhhh the times.

my all time favorite GW miniatures are the Dark Elves Chris Fitzpatrick designed. My favorite of the Age of Sigmar time is Alarielle on the giant bug. Im using the bug as a second giant Spider for my night goblins, and Alarielle is slowly turned into a demon princess for my Slaanesh army.
