We Need To Talk... About Slambo!

Some light Warhammer conversion to make a beautiful plastic Slambo character for my Age of Sigmar Army! This guy is a total classic and he has a mean green paintjob.

SLAMBO!!!!! What a fun conversion for a great army. Love the orange/ yellow colour scheme and the green armour is great! Good job Brent!

[@GoobertownHobbies]

Slambo!!!!! :-) Thanks Duncan!

[@putridblightking1697]

slambo new model coming out in 2022 april fools

[@erik_gutierrez]

Slambo looks like he belongs in a Monster Energy commercial, and that's a good thing!

[@Lamefoureyes]

Radical dude!

[@daleicious1528]

You’re a good thing.

[@Trazyn_The_Finite]

It’s like the chaos Archenemy of the Bud Knight

[@TheHobbyGrotto]

Any kind of Slambo conversation is a good conversation!

[@Ramsimation]

I've had an idea to do a loyalist slambo for my space sharks...

[@thehobbygit281]

No matter how many times I look at that mini it just looks like the cape's corpse hand is copping a feel from beyond the grave...

[@GoobertownHobbies]

#slambo

[@Bluecho4]

As it should.

[@Mara999]

That one test-marine makes me imagine an entire Chapter, whose colour-scheme is designed specifically to be painful for enemies to look at. The marines themselves probably have special visors, to help them look at each other without any issues.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

Heheheh, that chapter would be epic

[@Ronodentron]

Nothing better to start my day than some Goober in the morning, while I drink my coffee :)

[@graefx]

Everyone needs more Slambo in their life. And the color choices for this army are fantastic

[@gowiththeflowbee8053]

Goober should be doing voice overs on bedtime stories. Such a unique warm rich voice man.

[@Powerhungry5000]

Goober on the calm app when?

[@danbull]

I'd listen to hours of him reading lore

[@Emyrus17]

ASMR for nerds

[@derekeide2579]

Couldn't sleep, thanks for the company while painting!

[@deltastic]

I don't know why but "I'm gonna mash it with a rock" tickled me so much, I laughed so hard. Thank you for all your videos, they always make me smile :)

[@GoobertownHobbies]

Hehehe, the rock is the key bit! :-)

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

For a hot minute there I was preparing myself for the use of "Army Painter Fairy Dust" While I am obviously still waiting for that to happen, Slambo turned out Slammin!!!

[@GoobertownHobbies]

not this time....

[@s.w.4409]

Heeey! Now chaos have their very own Green Knight! Take that Bretonnia!

[@Bluecho4]

Until The Old World comes out, and Bretonnian models start showing up again. Presumably.

@@Bluecho4 Hopefully.

[@archfrank]

Honestly of all the things it's your temporary basing technique to get it on a handle that amazed me the most! This idea is getting "borrowed" for sure

[@GoobertownHobbies]

oh yeah, that's a good one! :-)

[@justarandomname420]

My travel agent keeps telling me there are no flights to Goobertown. How can that be? You make it seem like such a nice place to visit and relax! Did some Sisters of Battle in Army Painter pink metallic. Airbrush is definitely the way to lay it down.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

ooh, thanks for the tip! keep trying on those flights to goobertown :-)

“...Guilliman flesh...” Everyone: *spit take*

[@juliangoodman9000]

damn nice merge for the axe, it can be tough to make things look right when they are spliced. awesome job

[@GoobertownHobbies]

thanks! :-) I've been having good luck with a flush joint between fist and handle.

[@nateworth6659]

I love how striking the green of Slambo is compared that awesome yellow of the others

[@ScytheNoire]

Highlights is what really makes Slambo pop. Once you get that extra layer of contrast, it really makes it look amazing. I think that's the step many end up missing.

[@jamescameron-clarke2560]

Nu-Slambo is about 90% of the reason I want this warband. Don't even play Underworlds, I just want the pretty pretty minis...

[@GoobertownHobbies]

these pals are so pretty! doooo itttt

[@Basil_Ghothickovitch]

All good Age of Sigmar videos will get my like! These colors are also just magical!

[@Boylei]

Beautiful conversion. Thanks for another great video!

[@rdsmith2784]

Any time I see Chaos Warriors, it makes me want to pull out the good old Hero Quest and play the game that got me into the hobby in the first place, waaaay back in -redacted-. Thanks for the nostalgia!

[@thth-sv4bt]

I just want to share with you all my Slambo story. I ordered the redesign, but then literally a day later it went OOP and my retailer didn't have a chance to get a hold of it. Shame, cause I love this big boy.

[@TundraGheist]

Apparently the trick to catching a Goobertown video when it hits the tubes is living in Alaska... AKST for the win :) Nice vid on the classic chaos boi.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

aww yeah, you're doin it right!

8:03 Finally someone who pronounces Rowboat Girlyman's name correctly

[@GoobertownHobbies]

hehehehe :-)

[@Ernzt8]

Another model that stands out between models that compete standing out. Great job!

[@alexsims2376]

I painted my first Chaos Warrior green from the Heroquest board game, based on some art in one of the quest books. The sickly green always stuck with me. I chose cracked dark green for an age old "Undivided" Chaos army colour back in the day. I theorised it was the process of folding warp stone into their armour to help it fuse with their flesh until they were inseparable. Maybe it would also attract the favour of the dark gods. Great video, Brent! Thanks for the memories.

[@DemonOfGadara]

Man, this dudes voice and the way he speaks are sooooo soothing, I really enjoy his videos

[@stormycatmink]

I've got a good suggestion for your cobblestone bases! Sculpt individual stones about 3mm square-ish, then hand cobble each one onto a base with an epoxy coat underneath (so you can nudge them around properly). Once that sets up, mix some baking powder with superglue and scrape it into the gaps between the stones to make it look like dirt. Then paint! Basically, just build a miniature version of a real cobblestone road. Can't get more real than that. Might just take longer than the entire rest of the mini. Okay, maybe not a great idea. But probably looks pretty good!

[@GoobertownHobbies]

The day will come when I have a mini worthy of that :-)

[@stormycatmink]

@@GoobertownHobbies I'm just getting in to the hobby, but I'm enjoying just building, and exploring customizing models and paint schemes. Seems like building a cobblestone base from scratch might be relaxing to do once after a long week of work. Just sort of lose myself in the little things for a bit.

[@rednaxelA11]

I am a slave to green paints, so i may be biased - but this is easily the coolest looking individual chaos warrior i have ever seen, and by far the best Slambo - conversions all the way! I have a SLD SC box sat in a drawer and I have now decided they're going to be bright metalic green. cheers GTH.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

So glad you like it!! Have fun with your warriors :-)

[@Flarecobra]

That blue on the test Marine might be neat for an Ultramarines variant scheme. And the purple could be good for Emperor's Children...

[@theminiaturechronicles9202]

That ended up looking great. thank you so much for taking us threw your process.

[@rhino5419]

Hello. A tip i use. For round paving stones on a country road for example, i use lentils pressed into texture paste. Different sizes can be found and mixed if wanted. Love green Slambo conversion. All the best.

[@Uselesswizard]

He looks like a million bucks! Not just because he's green! You did a great job of bringing Slambo into the modern plastic age

[@GoobertownHobbies]

Aww, thanks buddy!

[@danielhenderson8000]

Absolutely wonderful! Love seeing your army grow, it is great to see a project go beyond a few models or so. You are always a delight to watch, but I admit I am always eager to see more of your OWN projects. I love to see what excites you, and adding random bits and pieces to an army, or just messing around with old favorites like the Pump Wagon, I am glad I subscribed. Can't wait to see more, keep it coming!

New Slambo is old Slambo off to the Prom!

[@devdevthewevwev]

One of the best painting videos I've seen in a while!

the army looks sweet dude, awesome progress!! I just finished painting my first 500 point army and im super proud of it, thanks for giving me something fun to watch while i paint

wooo!!! keep goin!!! :-)

Yes! I just started a workday I was NOT looking forward to, but Goobs & Slambo make a great start of my day.

I have just started my own first Warhammer conversions as well... Together with the models from the Pain and Piety Box I am starting a Sororitas army. And since I don't like the Repentia models i'm adding some giant Chainswords to some Witch Aelves!

[@GoobertownHobbies]

that's an awesome conversion, have fun!

Starting the morning with a new Goobertown video, you know it's going to be a good day!

Thanks for the cobblestone base tutorial! I am gonna give it a try

Slambo should be the general in every Chaos warband. He is classic and bad ass.

[@garretturban1071]

You always thanks us for watching. I'd like to say, thank you for making these amazing videos.😁

[@uriance88]

That is a great conversion - and totally awesome that you did it using only the kit, which means that folks don't need to buy multiples (or have an epic bits box handy). And the head and weapon switch allow the other model to be converted - and the nature of that one's pose means it will still look good to. Totally absconding with this idea when I pick up the kit.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

Have fun!! :-)

[@georgethomas9040]

Mini looks amazing, you've really come a long way in your painting since way back when I first started watching you, inspiring to see :)

Awesome job on Slambo!

I really adore the yellow army! However, the green Slambo looks amazing aswell.

Fantastic paint job Brent, I think it might be my favorite of yours yet! And he looks surprisingly good in the sea of yellow too!

Thanks for sharing your Slambo-Experience! He looks great and fits awesome with the rest of the army. He'll be slambowing every enemy right in the face, I guess. I usually never comment, but I love your videos the most of all the tabletop videos on youtube. So, thank you for all that. Best greetings from Germany!

GW: We love money Also GW: Let's release limited edition runs and wonder why people go to secondary markets instead of us

[@YanniCooper]

Right? I missed the opportunity to pick up Sgt. Ripper Jackson by 2 hours, and $35 was already basically extortion... now I'd have to pay twice that to pick one up on ebay. So frustrating.

[@Condottiero_Magno]

@@YanniCooper The other option is to hold your nose and pay a quarter or half the price to someone overseas and hope for the best. 🤷‍♂️ I understand the reason why Sgt. Ripper Jackson retailed at $35+, being HIPS plastic, but Slambo was resin and went for about $10 less.

[@YanniCooper]

@@Condottiero_Magno I did manage to snag a Slambo, and pretty sure he was $35... that's pretty much GW's "standard price" for limited edition characters.

[@Condottiero_Magno]

@@YanniCooper From a GW store or a third party and in USD? I picked mine up for $25 + sales tax from a then recently opened Warhammer store and I remember, as around then the first General's Handbook was $25 + sales tax too. The price was due to Slambo being resin and later limited editions were HIPS plastic, so the price reflected the moulding and limited run and name branding.🙄 Spikey Bits article on Slambo lists the price at $25 USD: spikeybits.com/2017/02/still-make-finecast-secret-slambo-unboxing-review-2.html For $35, GW could supply an appropriately sized base from the Shattered Dominion or Sector Imperialis range, instead of a plain one.🤬

[@GlittervoidGamecraft]

Even when I didn’t realize it, Slambo was a part of my life with the Hero Quest model. Where there’s on pair of axe notches, that’s where Slambo murdered for me.

That's a fantastic custom update! Not sure why but my favorite part is the shield, it just looks awesome.

[@CreamAle]

For a good cobblestone, go to your hardware store and buy micro pebbles. They're normally used for playgrounds and making walkways with concrete. But yeah, make box and cover the bottom by adding glue then pouring the pebbles in it and shaking it. let it dry and pour out the loose extras. After, spray it with mould release in at least 3 layers due to porosity. Then pour in 2 part epoxy. You've just made a stamp similar to your row stamp you used for the bricks. Best part of all it's already interlocking and random and if you make a few you can then prevent obviously repeating patterns. Spray the entire
