I would recommend making digital scans of some of the tiles, objective markers and other paper and card stock items. These sets are truly worth their weight in gold and preserving that awesome art is important.
Edit: I would kill for the spider tyrranid, that's hilarious.
2nd this. Especially the rules, I would LOVE to try this out with my group
Also 100% agree, getting those scans public on tts would be amazing
I'm pretty sure at least one of the oldhammer/2nd ed 40k groups on Facebook had the tiles scanned, n idea which one as I rarely use facebook these days but facebook groups have a surprising amount of stuff.
I really wish I had one of those Grabber Slashers.
I had only seen them in old art, I didn't realise there was an actual miniature.
I loved Tyranid attack when I was a kid.
I used to work for GW many years ago, and one time, at a meeting the GW HQ there was a bit of a history lesson and when Tyranid Attack was brought up, I was the only one that gave a woop of excitement.
tasty!
Marines invading a Tyranid bioship? It's like they've Uno Reversed Space Hulk.
Aka. Advanced Space Crusade :)
There's not nearly enough of squads fighting inside Tyranid hive ships these days. Sounds like an incredible Kill Team board, if you can sort sufficiently fleshy terrain out.
Probably just nostalgia but the punk-mohawk marines and buck -toothed, paddle clawed Tyranid models still bring me joy when I see them.
Ah the filthy cousin of Space Hulk that isn't invited to family reunions, excellent, I was wondering what you were working on.. looking forward to the next vid.
Cosmic Meat Dungeon is my favourite 70s psychedelic rock band
Sounds a bit too kinky for my tastes!
This game is like the guy from the cover of 'In the Hall of the Crimson King' except you venture down his cavernous throat
Can't wait for the playthrough and to see some old-sculpt eldar!
you mean the current eldar kits cant get much older can you? lol
@@devineright1 don’t make me start 😂😂
I was a huge fan of Advanced Space Crusade - never got to play it's little brother. Also great to see some Scythes of the Emperor back from the dead!
The amount of people who don't understand that that metal tyranid warrior was the first tyranid warrior released as opposed to the plastics with boneswords and deathspitters, is so astronomical it is mind boggling. I love seeing other people with them (though admittedly, I've acquired 18 of these beauties over the past decade and a half of collecting rt and 2nd ed tyranids, but seeing even one out and about is a joy!).
Yaaas you and miniscape are my av retro channels. good to see a new vid !
I love these old model games. Almost every single one came out before i was born, so theres something unique feeling knowing i have my hands on something that is older than i am. The models are so goofy looking, and your painting brings out alot of that 80’s-90’s camp that i would like to see gw bring back.
The old models definitely had a unique charm. I've seen 3d printed models based upon the orks artwork from the 90's.
@@blw4089 the old Kev adams ones he still sells on badger games are so good. (The creator of the original Space Orcs for first edition)
I recommend looking at his stuff as he currently also makes 3d models and even commissions in the old style.
@@jamzee_ that's really cool!
I'm pretty sure I still have a fully intact copy of this game in my parent's attic.
Dude’s literally sitting on gold.
Awesome job Ed! A real blast from the past when I had Tyranid Attack.
Absolutely love your Scythes paint job, really bold and striking, I still have my Tyranid attack, its in great condition, apart from a box corner, I only brought if for extra models and boards for advanced space crusade, but it was actually a great stand alone game, I also have several copies of Ultramarines, that was also a fantastic game, probably the most balanced game GW ever made 😂, I painted everything to match the unit cards from Ultramarines, so lots of war paint and funky colours.
The game is called "Tyranid attack" the plot is tyranids are trying to defend themselves from a space marine attack
Well actually, the Tyranids are invading the Galaxy from outside the known populated space and so they are attacking even when sitting down and enjoying a nice cup of tea and the cosmos drifting around them. Really, the Imperium is defending against the Tyranid Attack, see.
@@auretioustaak6579 🤓
@@ColonelMetus If we really want to get technical, the Tyranids aren't actually invading the galaxy, they are just eating everything because they can, so really it should be called "Tyranid Attack on Hunger", but that doesn't sound as cool.
As the old lore goes. This is where squigs come from. Those funny creatures. Are orks turned into squigs. And was saved by a ork raiding party.
It's funny seeing newer players flipping out because GW retcons nowadays, lol. As if they haven't been doing that since the very beginning.
If memory serves be right before the rescued from nids thing came about. Squigs mostly seemed to breed in and around the communal drops AKA s**tpit in an ork settlement. Wait until someone tells these kids that baby orks grew in an Orks pouch like marsupials.
'Cosmic meat dungeon' - flipping brilliant 😂
Amazing figures, they look terrific! Nice❤
Another cracking video Ed and I am a proud patron to your channel mate.
Hey Ed. I'm glad to see that the first part is finally out. I'm happy to see my copy finally getting used, if I still had it then it would still be in a corner collecting dust as I worked on my other projects.
When I first got this box back in late 2022 I had a plan to tackle the box but it quickly overwhelmed me. My orginal plan was to get modern minis. I did not want to use my own Tyranids since I would want to leave everything in the box or at least in a separate box with the Tyranid Attack box. So I would need 6 Tyranid Warriors, 10 Genestealers, 3 Genestealer Hybrids, 10 scouts, 5 Terminators and a Librarian. As I was planing out how many minis i was gonna need I played the game on table top simulator since I did not want to pop out all the tokens and maps just yet. I found that there were more rules for Eldar as well as Dreadnoughts and expanded space Marine rosters. I wanted to included a lot more. The more I thought of it the more I became overwhelmed with the amount of minis I would need to buy and paint. At the time I had a small army of Eldar and Sisters of Battle and a larger force of Space Marines and a tyranids but the majority of them were unpainted and I wasn't as confident as I am now in my painting skills. I let my plan languish and abandoned it. While it is unfortunate I didn't realize my dream of restoring it but I'm glad I was able to provide it to you.
I'm looking forward to the follow up video with the battle report of the game. What will the Tyranid Spider and Grabber represent? When I played two games on Table top simulator there was a robot that could be found that the Space Marine player could use. I was going to get a Blackstone fortress to represent that token. I found that the game was one of Attrition. At first the few tyranids that spawned could easily be dealt with but as the organs and exploration cards were found ambushes would happen and slowly the space marine player would be whittled down. The Space Marine player in the next video will need some luck. There better be a ton of Quotes from Aliens in it, I can't wait for it!
-King of Reposts
seriously thank you for sending out the game- can't wait to see the follow up episode of the gameplay!
Loved the video. You do great work. You made me want to crack out my copy and play. Can't wait for the next video.
Lost it when you said 'Spase Mareen' like that Commisar from Fire Warrior lol Love your content my Friend, keep it up!
I love those Landsknecht-style slashed sleeves (which is apparently the term for that kind of sleeve) on the marines, I wish those were still around
The old Jess Goodwin sculpts are amazing.
you are like a 40k ultra museum. wish i could like this a billion times
I love these videos so much. Love the variety of factions, different paint schemes and retro 40k game systems. Paint jobs are amazing as always... and Eldar you say??? Cannot wait!
Your black and yellow paint scheme is quite striking and really stands and would excellent on the table top as well as when skulking around a hive ship and lovely to see it on some classic minis! Great job as always!
I like the armor for the hybrids, you really nailed the look of the Harkonens from the old dune.
Sick. Gave me the itch to get back to painting.
Awesome video as always! I'm very excited for the game!
Looks amazing, great work!
Amazing. I adore this channel and your content so much. I have mixed old Tyranids in with my new ones for my army and it's so fun to see how you paint them.
Great work friend! They look very cool. Inspires me to get a copy of the retro game Ultramarines and paint up some scouts, which I have been thinking about for quite a while now. Ill pay the hefty ebay price but the nostalgia itself is priceless.
beautiful work, and the video has nice angels and music.
Another great video as always ❤
Your channel is so freaking awesome man. Not only is the Oldhammer stuff really well made, your narration is top tier.
Great video, such nostalgically goodness 😂 cant wait to see the next installment!
Great stuff, your painting is always really good and inspiring :)
Thank you very much sir.
Really hoping for a video of you playing the game.
Looking forward to the battle report. But I'm excited to see how you paint your eldar!
Great video!
Absolutely fantastic 😀
Can't wait to see what happens next 😉
Cant wait! Looks so much like Ian Watson space marine novel. Boarding the tyranid ship is burned in my brain
I absolutely adore this game and it's ruleset. 'Quick and dirty' 40k experience with enough variety and space for expansions.
The reserve rolls for Tyranid player could use a tweak. Otherwise - great fun!
Amazing miniature collection you have there! I need to get to work on some of mine retro-warriors...
I wish I still had my copy. Great review!
I'd love to try out this game! I really enjoyed watching you paint these minis up.
Awesome! I have the same terminators. I rebuilt 2 of their anntena with thicker poles, one is bent over though like he walked through a short door.
that intro was amazing!
This is GW as I remember it and specifically Tyranids as I remember them.
I think that was the first GW thing I ever bought. With the knife-scouts, yeah!
But I don't remember the game at all. Is it possible I got the minis without the game pieces?
Lovely stuff. I recently sold my house and all my belongings so that I could afford a copy of this game on ebay. Then I put it on a shelf and haven't dared touch it, so it's great to vicariously enjoy the experience through you.
I would love to see the original plastic Tyranid Warriors (NOT the fugly metal ones!) get updated, to this day they're still my favourite 'nid design.
While I lost the box, I still have all the card-stock components for this game and the Tyranid models formed the basis of my 40k Tyranid army. Sadly on the Imperium side only the Librarian (minus an arm) and a few scouts still remain, with the rest presumably having chased all the missing Eldar minis from my copy of their Space Crusade expansion into the Webway, never to be seen again.
These minis are so charming! Looking forward to the game.
I remember the miniatures alone being sold as a box with the same name. It contained 5 Terminators, 5 Space Marine scouts, 3 Tyranid Warriors, 8 Genestealers, and 2 Hybrids. My friend's older brother, who got me into Warhammer, picked that box up to supplement his box of 30 Space Marines. He then, of course, went on to build a Tyranid army as a second army. As an aside, I was collecting Eldar at the time :)
Well you will be pleased to know that this made it back to the 15th century and the bloody fields of Tewkesbury. Watched it whilst cooking breakfast. Looking forward to seeing the game played out as I had the game back in the day
Love it Ed! Only thing is they are on city ruin style bases in the guts of a Tyranid Bioship! Would have expected some gruesome biological textures and colours. I'm quibbling though. Epic scheme.
I still love the tyranid warriors from back then, so damn cool!!!!
i still have that game sitting on a shelf
A true blast from the past.
My friend and I had the original Space Crusade and got the first expansion, Mission:Dreadnought. Sadly, we never got the Tyranid Attack or Eldar set. Always loved the Turkey Warriors.
Looking forward to watching the game in the next video.
I always need more Ed in my life!
Excited to see another series drop
I got Advanced Space Crusade when I was a kid, so a few of minis looks familiar, as well as the board tiles. Completely missed the actual Tyranid Attack board game though.
But great paint job though, looking forward to seeing how this plays.
I had this game, loved it.
We had this as a set in the club.. I think I got it when we cleared out a while later and sold it off 15 odd years ago, it was so so and the figures were okish..
Your bits for the hybrids are a great find.
I've the metals hybrids like you but no arms weapons though. Nice trip down memory lane thanks.
Nice video
I like the older tyranid designs better. they didn't just feel like bugs but an amalgamation of everything they had eaten previously
Awesome!
I'm REALLY looking forward to your battle report of tyranid attack. I have this game but its languishing in my mum's attic at the moment. This may be the moment I break it out for a game! From what I remember, it was a very hard game to win if you were playing space marines. Hellfire Shells were awesome but you only had a few and scouts with Heavy Bolters were aways priority targets. I also loved th3 Ork and Eldar rules at the back of the rule book. I even tried the rules out in crazy "not 40k" battles to the death. It was fun but we were back playing 40k soon enough. Anyway, I love the nostalgia that comes with your videos. Oh, I loved your Grabber Slashers and tyranarachnid. I don't remember much about them. Were they predecessors to modern day ripper swarms?
Best tyranid warriors ever! I had this box when i was playing black army list bugs
Am I the only person who loves the classic turkey tyranids I'd love a whole army of them
Great job! 👍 Would be awesome if GW revived some of these older stand alone games
Duuude! I love these retro tyranid models! I dont even play tyranids, but i kinda want to collect some of these somehow, though im sure theyre a nightmare to get a hold of
I love the style.
I had Advanced Space Crusade, so have the Tyranid Warriors but sadly none of the board pieces. I've considered reconstructing it 🤔
Would also kill for those Tyranid "squig" models!
Cool channel!
Never had this one, never even saw it played but played the hell out of the original Space Hulk. I miss the look of 40k of the early 90's. Bold, unapologetic, and without compromise. The colors and character design left no doubt to the eye of what you were looking at.
Aw, man, having collected 'nids since 2nd ed, just the torsos of those turkeynid warriors was so nostalgic, even before all the classic art!
Got a urge to do black and yellow now!
so good
Great work buddy, the spider thing and the grabber thing along with the two bases of lots of little creatures are actually the original ripper swarms from 2nd edition 40k.
Tyranid Attack came out in 1992 before 2nd edition was released in late 1993. And quite along time before Ripper Swarms were introduced in 2E Codex: Tyranids (1995).
The Grabber-Slasher was from Advanced Space Crusade (1990) which was the more complex predecessor to Tyranid Attack that really liked D12s for some reason.
The Space Hulk - Space Crusade - Advanced Space Crusade - Tyranid Attack pipeline was wild.
The 1E 40K Tyranid army in White Dwarf 145 (January 1992) had them listed as "Squig Swarm"... and was the first and only time squids were ever mentioned as being linked to Tyranids.
This is what I am here for 🙏
This pleases the Hive mind
Magnificent stuff. Couldn’t be more delighted to see this.
Cosmic Meat Dungeon had me in stitches 😂
Fun game to play with room clearing tactics and a cheap way to build a scout marine squad. But definitely the material of tyranid miniatures did not stand the test of time after painting tending to disintigrate to dust. Also I liked these turkey tyranid designs the best, but they were abandoned for chunkier designs. Also I think the original set did not include terminators or magus but were easy to buy from Wh40K sets. I definitely had ASC, so my comments might not apply to Tyranid Attack which was basically a update/sequel.
Looking at my copy of tyranid attack on the shelf, this might just be the push I need to get it game ready!
I remember reading about the game in White Dwarf. Could never get a copy of it though. In Australia, in the late 80s early 90s GW products were as rare as hens teeth.
From the first look this reminds me of Space Crusade.
So cool
This makes me want to paint more oldhammer
Of course the spider has balls! Where do you think he stores the eggs?
I had Advanced Space Crusade as a kid and ended up using the rules for Tyranid Attack instead (basically all the same conetents). I also did the PVA and super glue trick on the bases to make it fit the tyranid flooring.
Ashes 2063 music and classic 40k? Autolike and sub.
These are the tyranids from immediately after they devoured the Mac & Me planet
This spider and Carpenter thing, are Tyranid Squigs. IIRC
Man I love that early 90s Judge Dreaded artwork influence of the sculpts! Anyone know if you can get minis / 3D prints in this retro style?
Dear God, I had completely forgotten I owned this as a kid until I saw the tiles from the box.
If only I hadn't decided I was too old for Toy soldiers when I discovered the joys of alcohol I would have a treasure trove 😢
Great !
Those 1990 models still look rather nice.
2nd edition was mint.
