WORST Warhammer Army I've Ever Seen!

[@villainus957]

THAT is the worst you've ever seen? Holy shit dude, that's not the worst I've seen at a painting contest!

[@Fuzzycat16]

agreed.. there is WAYYYY worse out there..

[@philgee486]

Got a mate who paints worse than that and is so proud to show folks....

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

By far this is the worst army I’ve seen, and not because of the pieces that look ok. The army as a whole is almost completely wrecked, some of them are even beyond repair. The bloodthirster, he was the best, and I’m not knocking the paint job at all. There were parts missing of course, so those had to be fixed, but the rest of the army looks like melted goo. So In my experience, no, there aren’t worse armies out there.

[@oliverwithers9736]

@@eBayMiniatureRescues I guess but IMO it just looks like the paint was too thick when applied and that they had all chipped badly and missing pieces of course I’m not sure it’s the worse you have seen what about that ultramarine picture that everyone has seen

[@TOKOLOSE]

@@eBayMiniatureRescues So basically making clickbait titles.... have fun.

[@kausalkraken5951]

As the original seller, a bit of a back story. I have been buying and selling Warhammer for 15 years. I also do professional painting jobs and commission for fun. About four years ago, a fellow wargamer gave me his 9-year-old son Khorne army after he passed away for free. It was his first army and was using it to learn how to paint. I placed them in simple green but ironically moved to Reno NV shortly after for work. When I returned back home to PA beginning of last year, I discovered them and put them up for sale (I was downsizing at the time). Ironically, If I had them with me in NV, I could have walk a mile to the house and said: Free army, here you go. Please remember, we all start somewhere.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

This certainly marks the first time that a seller has come forward after a video that I’ve made. Thank you for sharing, I really appreciate it. It’s very unfortunate and sad that your friends son passed away. Hopefully I can do a little justice to the army by fixing it back up. Being from Reno at the time as well, crazy coincidence. Such a small world man.

Lol, that still hasn’t come up yet, in 120 videos, I’m still waiting for the day though :)

[@cycoholic]

I prefer the original dog headed bloodthirster, but great paint job anyway. You can mix milliput with play doh at around 50%. Helps with making it easier to mix the milliput, and the hardener from the milliput will harden the play doh. Saves you using more of the expensive milliput, and can still be sanded.

[@valack03]

Having owned that old school blood thirster I'm 99% sure there was no missing parts to the hilt from whip. I remember pinning it as it just sat in the u shape of the hilt. Great job on it.

[@tristanswain7107]

You are right, I owned the same model

[@Zickzag]

The sand did really make it feel like the model was standing on that base in a natural way, and made the whole piece come together. that detail in the book and the carving on the altar has to be one of my favorite features of this piece.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

This was a fun one! :-)

[@kathrynsmith3417]

Yes, its seeing the disaster before Iceberg.

[@Fauxknight]

Honestly I've seen, and was expecting, a lot worse. Could have got a persons first army where they didn't know anything about painting or assembly. Were the models still in one piece that army would have looked reasonable presentable compared to a number of other armies that I've seen.

[@manictiger]

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Next you’re gonna airbrush without gloves...

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Oh man, not that dangerously, who would do that?!

[@deebernaers137]

Is the danger really on the level of "no glove airbrushing" and "brush licking" or more along the lines of using propellant sprays in your spray booth? ;)

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

@@deebernaers137 jokes aside I think it’s a pretty legitimate fire hazard. I haven’t looked into it much as I don’t use an ultra sonic cleaner. My understanding is the ipa should be bagged and the cleaner filled with water. Probably a lot more dangerous than rattle cants in a spray booth.

[@Calaban619]

I really like how you start with something that looks pretty much done for and "dust it off and show it some love" for an amazing turn around.

[@jcanada5549]

Wow! Great job. This is WAY better then tabletop quality and you really crushed it.

[@Kintizen]

Best way to use Milliput, is mix with rubbing alcohol. It becomes a paste. So you can brush it like paint, into layers. It's far more forgiving, if you don't have sculpturing skills.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

I've tried that a few times and just haven't been able to get the consistency quite right. Sometimes it seems fine and I can fill small gaps, but more often it seems like it's not breaking down the milliput and I have to go in by hand anyways. Idono, something to keep trying!

[@kedarraman6690]

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

[@roaringlaughter3812]

Clickbait title. That cant possibly be, the worst you have ever seen. Sure those models were painted by a novice but you can tell that some effort had gone into it.

[@MarkusMaximus2000]

Agreed on the click bait. After saying “It’s a little worse than I anticipated but totally salvageable” the title feels a tad disingenuous.

as someone who owns 7 bloodthirsters (yes i made a demon Angron and 7 bloodthirster squad) I can confirm that there were no parts missing to the whip, the flat end just slotted between the 2 prongs next to the skulls... the conversion still looked EPIC though

I am glad to see someone who knows what they're doing using isopropyl alcohol to strip paint. Because I wasn't sure if its a good idea. I use it to remove small areas of paint with a cotton swab. I it works well. But it does remove the primer too. So the small area needs a complete repainting. But it's still a good eraser for a basically almost complete model that somehow you make a big mistake in a smaller area. Better than a complete model repaint.

Nostalgia! I still have this old Bloodthirster from when I started out in the hobby about 20 years ago. Cool work! BTW I read that using an ultrasonic cleaner like that could potentially be quite dangerous. The isopropanol alcohol has a low flash point, which means it creates fumes that could easily catch fire from a spark of sratic electricity or if the machine malfuntions. Also, a basket in the cleaner is recommended in order to prevent damage to the transducers.

[@Th3D4nny]
