Can't overstate how much I love this force. The freehand is lovely, the converting/customising is flawless, just the overall quality is incredible. I said it before, but it's stunning work!
I hope you all enjoy the video, it's a little hard to crank them out at the moment, but there are more Heresy videos coming, first Rite of War video covering the Armoured Spearhead, Head of the Gorgon and Ironwing is the first planned, another Q and A, and of course End Times content. I also want to do a video covering the 'negativity' of this channel.
Another amazing video. You inspired me to come back to the hobby and get into heresy with your getting started vids, and further again to work hard at conversions with videos like this. Thank you for your commitment to the community.
Nice description of the theme, good discussion of the history of each model and the painting choices you made, nice mention of the "audience" being just yourself, cool to include Easter eggs of friends painting styles. Looks like a great army and I hope it holds up in battle! Could we get some pictures of this army battling your foes when you go to the event?
Wow- beautiful job again, Macca- I really like how you put the bolt pistol in the holster “grip-forward” on your sergeant on the bike, in proper cavalry fashion. Really awesome- attention to little details like that make my day, man- thanks for sharing these guys with us. (Jesus- don’t even get me started on that Achilles/Proteus work of art!) Really inspired me to spend the day converting models-
I had never seen your minis before and I did no expect you to be this skilled. No offense, it's just that most tabletop youtubers who aren't exclusively about painting aren't the greatest of painters. Your models look really neat, I like them a lot!
Dammmn that Land Raider Proteus Achilles is so friggin awesome!!!!!!!!!! It looks perfect!! The volkite guns on the sponsons help make the tank look old tech! I'm going to 100% copy this some point soon!
I always wanted a White Scars army in 40k but was put off by the model choices. This is by far the best White Scars army I've seen, hands down. I like your explanation and the reasoning behind your conversions. GL at your event.
Thanks, it's really more an event where I'll have some beers and catch up with old friends. Scars are a hard army because there is nothing interesting being done with them. I set out to break that mold and to make something unique and with a strong Asian theme.
Great? Maybe, probably not, not with the speed I paint, I'd really have to slow down and take my time to produce some really high-quality stuff. In any case, if I didn't feel I was any good it would be in real poor taste to shit on other people's hobby by criticising things like Armies on Parade.
I'm so happy to see a white scar army (with iron hand allies) I believe the white scars are the most ignored legion put of all of them and the free hand art of the jet bikes are gorgeous like holy shit
oh, and before i watched the video I checked your instagram through the link on this video and noticed the flamers on the prow of the speeders and was all WTF! I instantly ran to open my army book and was no more enlightened. Thankfully you explained it in your video!
It's always about theme before function with me. For example, a Spartan over an Achilies makes a ton more sense with my 10 Gorgons and Forge Lord, but the Achilies as the battering ram to break the walls is more thematic and it gave me the opportunity to convert something unique to my army alone.
@@TheOuterCircle I see it the same way. Fluff is more important than anything when it comes to 30K. That's why I'm into it. The tank conversion looks just great. And your vids are always a motivation to keep on going in the hobby. Thanks again and greetings from Switzerland
Here's hoping The Buried Dagger is Scars for the DG. Here's to a fantastic book, that got us all interested in a fantastic and underrated chapter. Bogles my mind how WS are made so good with such little coverage, and are like the only sci fi take on Mongols. EDIT: Awesome models man, but that's pretty obvious when we can all just see the good work.
Hey Macca, by chance do you have a guide on how you built this? Im looking to get one one for myself and with the kit hard to find Id like to try my hand at making my own.
Looks awesome! I plan to do a white scar army after finishing my wolrd eater and I was wondering how did you manage to get this result for you white scars? Great ideas to pick if you don't mind about it?
Awesome thanks for the reply. Is that the Vallejo wood grain, new wood, or old wood. Sorry but I couldn’t find just the “wood”. I’m starting a heresy army because of you and really liked that steppe base.
Macca you only made one lil mistake, only the EC where allowed to have the aquilla on there tanks and amor, i love the minis you made specialy the WS ;)
I believe in part one of this showcase he said they were either 3D printed or from Shapeways. If you watch that video it should tell you- sorry I don’t remember offhand.
Time, and effort. It always takes time, and effort. Nothing comes easy, and the worst thing we do is make it harder on ourselves by over-complicating things. KISS is the analogy here; keep it simple, stupid!
Yes and no, it can be both hard and easy, you just need to make it easy by making good choices in how you base coat and layer paints. Don't do light over dark, you work up to it. Keep the palette as simple as you can, lay out the paints you need.
Really nicely painted and converted. I love the White Scars aesthetics, and you've brought them about with a very cool, flavorful approach. I watched a video from Bandai (link here: th-cam.com/video/yVHI7nKMqlE/w-d-xo.html ) not long ago that showed some of their manufacturing and mold sculpting processes on youtube and it reminded me of some of the videos this channel has done on the subject. Do you think GW or Forge World will ever give us a similar peek behind the curtain? I know it's sort of apples to oranges comparing Gunpla to GW/FW games, but it's hard at times not to compare price and quality. That said I think a lot of the hobby skills do overlap between the two; I enjoy both Gunpla and miniature painting myself. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on the subject, thanks.
GW won't show that because you'd realise that the tactical squads they sell for $72 are made in 45 seconds with 7 cents of plastic. The way GW sells it now is that each sprue is lovingly hand crafted by English artisans trained in German engineering shops.
Can't overstate how much I love this force. The freehand is lovely, the converting/customising is flawless, just the overall quality is incredible. I said it before, but it's stunning work!
Glad you enjoy it, now finish those dreadnoughts and Emperors Children!

What kit does the hawk originally hail from?
@@jamescollins3893 jetek suberei from kill team cassius
I know you guys are pretty busy with work at the moment. But do you have any plans of a podcast, or scrubdown type videos in the works?
Perhaps some more "ponys tails" on some motojet ;-) ? great army
Cat is working on the Podcast side of things.
As for pony tails, I may add more down the line...
The cherry blossom freehand is amazing. Great work. I for sure agree that the dark/light colors in your army halves, makes it look amazing together.

I love to leave little details in there on all the armies I work on.

Very nice force composition & just beautiful painting work. I'm very impressed. Thanks for sharing
two awesome looking marine forces, great details and awesome paintjobs on the both of them.

@@TheOuterCircle Nice, that's even better then. You're doing the hobby right.
freaking beautiful stuff man. the cherry blossoms are inspired. Hope your event went well.
Straight outta nowhere, turns out Macca is a great painter!

Always love seeing freehand on characters and vehicles, and here's some on a vehicle character. Looks top.
Really nice looking army! Great looking free-hand on the jetbikes.
The land raider conversion is really nice too.
I'm so happy to see a white scar army (with iron hand allies) I believe the white scars are the most ignored legion put of all of them and the free hand art of the jet bikes are gorgeous like holy shit
Awesome work mate! Love how your white scars are coming along
oh, and before i watched the video I checked your instagram through the link on this video and noticed the flamers on the prow of the speeders and was all WTF! I instantly ran to open my army book and was no more enlightened. Thankfully you explained it in your video!
that proteus archilies looks great! damn that gives me afew scratch building ideas
Very beautiful army. Love the paint schemes and the fluff oriented composition! 30K as we (or at least I) like it. Thanks a lot

Proteus Achilles is super-cool, look forward to seeing a separate video someday, thanks.
Love this man!
Very nice force! Interested how the do at the event.
A fantastic army mate, good luck at the event :)
Fantastic painting, good luck with the last bikes!
Also, did you buy a new contemptor to sacrifice for the base?
I made 2 molds of a contemptor 5 years ago and it's still going strong for making basing materials.
Could you make a video showing how you cast your own parts?
Here's hoping The Buried Dagger is Scars for the DG. Here's to a fantastic book, that got us all interested in a fantastic and underrated chapter. Bogles my mind how WS are made so good with such little coverage, and are like the only sci fi take on Mongols.

Where would you suggest getting Power Glaives? I'm looking to start a White Scars army
Looks awesome! I plan to do a white scar army after finishing my wolrd eater and I was wondering how did you manage to get this result for you white scars?
Great ideas to pick if you don't mind about it?
Great video Macca, beautiful white scars. How’d you paint your bases?
They are actually really really simple. An airbrushed base coat of 20:80 Vallejo Rust and Wood, drybrushed with some slightly lightened Zamesi Desert.
Awesome thanks for the reply. Is that the Vallejo wood grain, new wood, or old wood. Sorry but I couldn’t find just the “wood”. I’m starting a heresy army because of you and really liked that steppe base.
Macca you only made one lil mistake, only the EC where allowed to have the aquilla on there tanks and amor, i love the minis you made specialy the WS ;)
Do you got a mini casting tutorial?
Where does one get the model you use as a cyberhawk? Love the Proteus Achilles as per many others' comments
It's from the Deathwatch White Scars miniature.
What was the name of that Shapeways seller that make the bike icons?
Martillo Y Cola
@@TheOuterCircle thanks
Looking really sweet bro!!!
You think you'll fo another video looking at conversations and kitbashes, also you you hyped for Hankboy coming to 30K?
Where are the shoulderpads for the White Scars Termies from?
I believe in part one of this showcase he said they were either 3D printed or from Shapeways. If you watch that video it should tell you- sorry I don’t remember offhand.
Should do painting tutorials on the channel as well. All very nice :)
I do occasionally, I haven't' done any for the scars as the white is a long, drawn out process.
@@TheOuterCircle I would love to see one on the Scars.... The paint job is bloody great.
Show us your thoughts about the new models Macca, I hate the new night lords armor (where the fuck did the baroque trims go??)
It will be up shortly.
Looks amazing man! How exactly did you pin the dick bikes?
Here sit i watching this Video. Feelung bad because i couldnt paint iron hands right
Time, and effort. It always takes time, and effort. Nothing comes easy, and the worst thing we do is make it harder on ourselves by over-complicating things. KISS is the analogy here; keep it simple, stupid!
@@TheOuterCircle i think you need an air brush to habe a good looking iron hands army
you can paint with white that's like hardest color
Yes and no, it can be both hard and easy, you just need to make it easy by making good choices in how you base coat and layer paints. Don't do light over dark, you work up to it. Keep the palette as simple as you can, lay out the paints you need.
