Wib Paints Your Minis | Episode 3

[@pudlordtynan919]

A name for the Space Marines featured here: The Phoenix Roses.

[@DanielSwindlehurst]

That pink on your Emperor's Begonias of Death marines is absolutely gorgeous.

[@euansmith3699]

Those 3d printed Beakie Marines are lovely recreations of the Rogue Trader aesthetic. The paint job is eye-poppingly wonderful. Maybe you could call them the "Transhumans"? The Deoderant Tank is amazing. I love how the sculpt still manages to retain the scratch-built look of the original. Thanks for signposting to BigMrTong. All the best to you both 🤗You are the loveliest couple in KZbin 40k.

WIB’s pink marines are the exact color scheme as the first 10 space marines I ever painted a few years back, before I decided to play chaos

[@redhood1060]

Please tell me you still have them, I’d love to see an army painted like that. Although I suppose I could just look up trance flag, space marines .

[@noamtepper456]

@@redhood1060 sadly I don’t, I gave all but one of them to a friend who re painted them as blood angels, I still have the sergeant somewhere

[@proto303]

BigMrTong is an absolute godsend for us folks who still hold love for the old beakies. While I don't own a 3d printer yet, I do often find myself browsing their Thingiverse and Patreon pages and dreaming of painting all the minis they have displayed there.

[@bigmrtong]

Thank you for the kind words :-)

[@AlexJP88]

Tech Marine looks bright in red. I’m even more really impressed and liking the Lamenter Tech Marine with all its tools and gear. Your very vibrant pink Marines look vibrant-tastic and definitely not be missed on the battlefield. The grav tank looks brilliant in blue. Really enjoyed watching this video.

[@toodumb2live2]

Wib you have stolen my little heart with that freehand! So good to see one of my old minis painted by you! Keep it up!

[@TheSmart-CasualGamer]

What I hate about your description of the Heavy Bolter-armed Lamenter is that I totally agree with you. There's something ABOUT his pose... And I thought of "The Radiant Purifiers" for the searing pink-clad Marines. (It was either that or The Migrane Inducers.) I absolutely ADORE them!

[@anotherzingbo]

I am delighted to see some of the models I sent in on display and I love what you've done with them. 🙂 And thank you very much for telling me who sculpted the re-imagined early marines, I'm going to have to look into that and maybe ask for a favour from a friend with a 3D printer!

[@TheSkeletonVA]

What if you called the new chapter: The Doomfire Phoenixes!

Seconded!

[@GheyForGames]

The thing I love about your painting vlogs specifically is that you're always painting something interesting, so it's really cool to see old RT marines getting painted in modern styles

[@ShallowVA]

Heavy Bolter guy holds his gun like me trying to hug my cat when he’s trying to get away.

[@devononair]

Hahaha

[@sarabihyena]

I adore how you paint miniatures, its got all the charm and vibrancy of the old codexes that got me started in the hobby. Do you think you'd ever make a guide on how you do it?

[@zentran2690]

I love that old deodorant hover tank. I used to love looking at pictures of it in my old White Dwarf magazines.

[@vivianboor14]

*Fantastic* turnaround on those pinky beakies

[@alexvaraderey]

Names for your Space Marines - The Magenta Angels, The Snapdragons, The Emperor's Flamingos, The Azaleas of Doom, The Fabulous Fists, The Pink Protectors, The Cherry Blossom Phalanx, The Angels of Delight, The Carnations of Carnage, The Blancmange Bombshells. If they turned traitor, it would be the Hyacinth Heresy.

[@dmeep]

I like seeing your work every now and again Squid pink? Rosa Pulpo!

[@Dylanquinn666]

Yeah I definitely agree with the 32mm bases. I'm working on a 2nd ed style Ultramarines army using all of the 90s marines and they look so much better on 32s. Even at the time I remember thinking that they'd look better with more breathing room on the bases.

[@nassirahmad4873]

Your skills are top notch, and you and Snipe are always a joy to listen to. Thank you. ❤

[@DaiMongar]

Those BMT beakies look fantastic, gonna have to print some for myself.

[@thomasdale5807]

I'm liking the 'Ay up.' as a video opener. That shade of pink really suits them.

[@thomasdale5807]

And, the base size looks great on the marines. Yeah, 32mm seems just right.

[@thomasdale5807]

Could the pink marines be called the Gore-hounds?

[@graefx]

Glowing pink marines on astroturf bases feels so wonderfully RT and oldhammer.

[@wanderingpaws3111]

I want a Harlequin army in Black & that very shade of pink! Oh and that Deodorant Hovercraft is such a blast from the past

[@Davidmoire96]

They are your models, they belong to you, paint them any way you want and on any type of base that you want, if people don't want to play against you, that is their loss. I like your models, and I hope I can paint as well as you do one day.

[@guardsmen2945]

lol, was going to ask if you accepted 3d printed versions of old minis. Glad to hear. =D

[@anoninunen]

"Doomfire Squids" - White Scars successors, specializing in lesser-known archeotech. Formed with much assistance by the AdMec based on a retrieved Lamenters station. The AdMec hold that all flesh is equally weak, as shown by Blood Angel recruiting practices, and are seeking to prove that they can double the recruiting pool for space marines. Doomfire Squids are known for their suspicion and secrecy, as they are allowed to determine what is xenotech or archeotech. Their name is based on the practice of initiating warp jumps with frightening alacrity, retreating before gellar fields are activated and even from within a planet's ocean if need be. One misguided unlucky Emperor's Children warsmith attempted to initiate negotiations on a recently uncovered toumbworld, only to be dropped into Tzeench's crystal labyrinth having been cut through by heavy vulkite batteries.

[@sethharley5557]

I’d love to see how the RT force evolves over time!

[@johndavies4801]

Omfg! Is that a Head & Shoulders Grav Tank on the intro?!

[@spencerarmstrong258]

I agree about 32MM bases and love you guys enough to feed the algorithm. :D

[@liamjones8299]

Ahh yes! More beautiful motivation! Keep up that awesome work. 👌

[@Bluecho4]

While marines being on 25mm bases makes sense as an artifact of the Rogue Trader era, when they were just normal criminals brainwashed and given drugs and put in power armor, none of the plastic ones I've ever gotten from earlier editions ever looked right on them. They always looked like their stance was just too wide to really fit, so the sides of their feet were always sticking out over the sides. Rebasing them to 32mm makes them look less silly, in addition to making them compliant with modern rules. Plus, there's just that much more room to base them in interesting ways.

[@aidanfarnan4683]

And I for one am here for the marines of the Flames of Transfiguration chapter. May they smite the enemies of the Imperium and also Terfs.

[@AtreiusLux]

Blue Stuff is great, a little tricky if you want to use it to make 2 part moulds. I've used it to make extra Drakescale shields for my Salamanders.

[@wiredale1]

Totally with you on 32mm bases!

[@roochman]

I mean, you can't go wrong with calling your pinkies just "Doomfires", no? That sounds like a Space Marine chapter if I've ever heard one!

[@freakishuproar1168]

How about you name those pink beaky marines The Pink Horrors of The Emperor :p (they look absolutely stellar by the way) The "space goblin" and it's swapped-out head reminds me of how all the different regiments of the Imperial Guard back in second edition would all the same series of poses (like "guy leaning back firing his gun with the stock against his chest" or "guy holding rifle with one hand and waving on his squad with the free hand") but altered with the appropriate attire and weaponry for each regiment.

[@OmegaLittleBob]

4:26 THE DOOMFIRE DRAGOONS!

[@MoxAmber26]

I have been trying to find fun little squads to paint some incognito Alpha Legion, I may have to steal the pink marines, I think that scheme is the perfect kind of eye searing.

[@fireconvoyosjl]

If the PO box was still open I would dig through my boxes of lead for more Rogue Trader Marines for you. I know that I have a Techmarine, a Dreadnought and a Multimelta Marine, but I don't know which box they're in. Or, precisely where those boxes are...

[@olihaub]

Calls the pink marines "The Flaming Flamingos"

[@saul6134]

Great stuff man, much needed after work, thanks!

[@fredrik241]

The original Getchin mini's face always reminds me of that character in MASH played by Jamie Farr! :) There's an old timey bit of musing for ye I'm not actually old enough to have watch much MASH though thinking about it I probably saw a few episodes. Who I see now when googling was a cross dresser? Cool.

Cant wait to see your completed Lamenters Army

[@ingloriouscanadian9323]

honestly yeah, they always overhang on the 25mm bases and it looks kinda awkward.

[@TheMatthewCraig]

"The Angels Of Delight."

[@origulator]

...I cant possibly be the only one that thought the pink marines were an Among Us reference, right?

[@philTSFW]

Hatsune miku says trans rights!

[@trenchardjj]

I broadly support and/or accept your choices regarding base sizes.

[@vaniellys]

That tank looks so 70's !

[@johnclark8921]

I believe that the glorious magenta marines should be called the Darkfire Ducklings, a truly intimidating name

[@thomassaxon8254]

For the pink marines maybe something like Wyrd Flame - wyrd being an old English word for fate/doom etc.

[@viraltang]

"The Magenta MagmaWryms" A Salamanders successor chapter. Love bright vibrant 90s toyitic colors on minis. Also thanks for the idea for some trans flag Marines throw in some sisters of the same colors to have it be I've got some bros who became sisters and some sisters who became bros in the same force... Hell even a few normally colored ones too "Regardless of all else we still love you and are our siblings in arms."

[@Powoga]

I put a couple of the 90's metal marines on 25mm bases, and... yeah, it's not great. Their feet tend to stick out, and there's just not much room to decorate the base without making it look crowded. Switched over to 32mm. I do cut out slots on the bigger bases, because removing the model's tabs feels wrong for some reason. Only cut myself once so far, and broke one or two bases, so that's alright. Really, it's fine.

[@Garrot]

I'd just name them the Doom Fires.

[@alasiadarthe001actual9]

I have pink marines too since I run them as eleventh legion the thorn lords. My pink is a bit darker as I mix one part Vallejo purple and two parts Vallejo orange.

[@m9squirrels282]

Does anyone have a link to the beakie 3D prints? I found the guy but can’t seem to find those specific sculpts.

[@dambrooks7578]

I have always been a fan of bigger bases, preferably a square one at that and I have never been a Fantasy Battle player as orks and especially Gorkamorka specifically. Mork protects

[@kimjong_un8801]

deodorant tank lets goo!

[@marauder7209]

Unironically, for the pink (magenta) Marines; Azure (Ignis?) Rose. In heraldric terms, Blue is refered to as azure, and pink is rose. And, as you said yourself; They are about as subtle as a punch to the throat, I can fully imagine them specializing in boarding/shock attacks, where being sneaky (tried spelling subtetly(?) about 16 times) is not needed, and they take great pride in their colours. Original Chapter; Iron Hands

[@benmatthews9176]

Pink marines should be called the transformers

[@MrPooleish]

Every model should be taken off their provided base and stuck on the next size up, no exceptions. If a model is not on a base, it should be placed on a base one size larger than the smallest base it can comfortably fit on. This includes terrain.

[@ratspike8017]

The 3D printed models are undoubtedly impressive, but there is something real odd about the Grav Attack. Sure, it looks right, but the original model was simply to demo how to take everyday items (like a deoderant bottles) and create an SF vehicle. This from when there were no vehicles kits available, and so do-it-yourself was the only option. The form of the bits dictated the vehicle... So 3D printing an exact replica seems somehow redundant. Like it misses the original point?

[@za907777777777777777]

Pink marines = The Fires of Doom!?!

[@evileyeball]

You should call them "Magenters" as you have Lamenters already so I would call the pink ones "Magenters"

[@Del_S]

Even 2nd ed monopose marines look a bit better on 32mm. There's got to be a 32mm base out there with a slot for the various 2nd edition monopose tabs, right?

[@3isnotaletter]

32mm slottas do exist, I found at least one in the Cultists of the Abyss set they feel weirdly anachronistic though

[@Del_S]

@@3isnotaletter Yeah, they're out there, I bought some regular ones for some Dark Eldar metal minis I have, but I'm meaning one with a slot cut to be the same size to take the 2nd ed tabs on the feet of Marines, Orks, etc, not a slot that's across the whole width. To save the effort in filling it later :P

[@aliciacarr9014]

Less than 10 seconds in. You painted the PO box? :D

[@redhood1060]

How about we call them this. Chapter name : the Danes of the emperor. Fortress monastery,: the battle barge Doom fire. Chapter tactic : diverse versatility. All units gain a 6 up feel no pain. (Because they’re kind of used to taking shit at this point.) I kind of want to write some lore for them now. (Would that be okay?!) Edit spelling corrections.

[@kail4997]

I try to remix my own rogue trader marine not long ago, no way near as good as bigmr tong’s beakies. They were simply fabulous.

[@CrazyPella]

Loving the Pink Marines - Planning to do something similar with my Harlies - but swap the pink for baby-blue as the predominant colour, with pink and white highlights, closer to pride flag that way. *Cough* Codex Compliant on the 3rd edition 'experimental' Harlie codex please - send in the clowns! (yes, it's me again...)

[@crystalclearchaos5387]

[@DatCoMm101]

have you tried 28 and a halves for older marines?

[@HeadmasterAutobot]

Taking them off the 25mm base is just... odd, visually, but it's not the mini's fault that it looks undersized by modern standards!

[@jacksea3814]

Feeding the algorithm to say they're 24mm bases, but am not very sure that I'm right, so really I'm asking for a way-too-deep dive into base sizes for the other eleven of us who care.

[@gideonventura1745]

All I have to say, minis should have bases with at least 5mm of clearance around the bottom of the mini

[@Cronkiteo]

Algorithm feeding opinion: marines definitely do look better on 32mm bases, but I sometimes like the 25mm ones since they look neat
