👑👑👑 I'm in the midst of releasing my dream miniature brush as well as some wonderfully sculpted miniature busts mid June 2020. It's something I'm really proud of and been working on for the better part of the last year. You can already pre register your interest on my Kickstarter page: bit.ly/3dKjmnz 👑👑👑
Can we all just, for a moment, appreciate the fact that the Astartes are so dedicated to getting safely onto the battlefield, that they actually went through the effort of sticking *window wipers* on the Thunderhawk?
a few years ago i bought one of these on ebay (still have the photo's somewhere) and it weighed a ton. when i finally had to sell it the postage was horrendous, but it was worth owning for the couple of years that i did. a truly awesome model for its time, and the box was a sight to see with brass aquillas on all the corners.
a little addition to that list: - Peter Jackson as a Hobbit: only 2 models ever produced, one giftet to PJ personally, the other one still @GW's HQ - Uruk Scout with Axe: dont know a number but its selling for 200 quid on ebay (also 28mm) Great Video man.
When I was a preteen/teen in the late 80's early nineties all I did was paint D&D minis. Mostly Ral Partha, Grenadier, and a few GW. I had over 250 minis, and a lot of Dragons (2 of which you listed here). Long story short in 1997 my roommate kicked me out. While I was away visiting my father, who was ill with cancer, and out of state. They threw all my belongs into the street (at least the ones they did not want for them selves). Everything I owned including all my minis was stolen. This not only ended a friendship, it knocked the wind out of me to ever paint minis again. It would be 10 years before I would paint another. I still have not restored my collection to anywhere near what it was, and I have researched a few of the stolen minis, and almost all of them are no longer in production, and its a punch in the stomach every time I find own and see how valuable they are now. I am slowly rebuilding my mini collection. I am interested in the Brushes.
I'm 13 years old I've just started Warhammer 40K, I cant afford brushes since they cost around 30 dollars in my area and getting these would be a welcome surprise :)
Brushes are important, but there is no point getting expensive ones unless you know how to look after them (most of us have to learn that the hard way), and really need them. In which case you will want a set of 'OK' brushes anyway for dry brushing and other stuff that can be hard on brushes, bulk painting, when your mate wants a try, etc. As a beginner, I would suggest two medium quality sets would be better value than one good one. As you get a feel for which brushes you actually prefer you can then buy fresh good brushes for particular jobs. This way you will only need one or two good brushes and they will last much longer. All the best with your new hobby!
Jonathan Hills I mean, 2002 was 18 friggin years ago, sooo... I mean, that’s a good chunk o change if u ask me, def worthy of “back in the day” imo and I’m into my thirties so it ain’t like I’m all that green round the gills lol
WOWSER ! I guess I better put my hand up :) Dracolich was painted by my fair hand . Picked up at a bring & buy waaaaay back in the mist of time. She sat on our fire place for many years and eventually sold her on eBay
I'm running low on brushes because I am too inspired to keep painting from watching your videos! This was awesome, man - I love these classic old school minis!
At the Warhammer fantasy tournament i used to go to, there was one guy who has the Mammoth, which was also masterfully painted. He always had it standing next to the battlefield, which really was gnawing on your spirits to be victorious in that battle.
This is completely overlooking the entire line of "Unseen" Battletech miniatures. The designs that were originally from robotech and lost the the merry go round of lawsuits between Harmony Gold and other licensees.
i use to play warhammer, back in the day before job wife kids mortage and i now find myself watching alot of youtube videos about painting playing lore about wargamming. Your channel was the hook, thankyou?
Love a good oldhammer throwback! Just finished painting up a bunch of metal House Goliath dudes from the old Necromunda, to use in Kill Team. I even modelled one of the new Ogryn models to match his buddies, mohawk and all (see display picture)!
1:40 *nerd screams* The Dawi Zharr are my favorite lore faction aswell :D Their lore is badass. I can't wait for Total Warhammer 3 (fingers crossed for Ogre Kingdoms and the Dawi Zharr)
I have quite a few minis from the 1980s. I was such a frequent mail order customer for Citadel Miniatures that I was sent a Limited edition Citadel Miniatures mug one Xmas. I'm sorting out my small room in preparation for starting painting again after many years and would love a new brush set to get me started.
Great video Squidmar. It was great seeing what out of print or limited edition minis there are. If I had the money, I would totally start a gaming miniatures museum. That would be awesome.
I spent so much time already looking at old photos of forgotten minis... Some of them dont even look outdated, I hate that they are not made anymore. Thanks a lot for this video, it was a pure puff of nostalgia :p
Now that I am done with wedding planning (got married this past Sunday) when I get home from the honeymoon I can get back to painting miniatures, so some nice new brushes would be great!
Some of the designs of these dragons are actually pretty awesome. I'd love to have one but not sure I could do it much justice yet, need to practice more painting XD. Also, I love tis channel so much!!!
Looking to get me some new brushes!! I've been in the hobby for now my third year and I didn't learn about proper maintenance until later so my brushes, though functional, are a bit "seasoned". I've upping my paint collection and recently added an airbrush setup (thanks to this channel), I've neglected my poor brushes. I've been watching your videos from the nearly the beginning of the channel and would have loved if these videos were around when I got started. I'm glad I see the channel growing and interacting with other of my favorite channels on TH-cam and I look forward to see more and more content from Squidmar Miniatures!!
My flatmate purchased three sets of the Diablo II Monsters figs many many years ago when they first came out. He recently gifted me one, still shrinkwrapped, for my birthday last year. Very awesome gift. Not stupidly expensive or excessively rare, but will still set you back $150 - $200 new today.
Tusen tack Emil för fantastiskt bra videos! Du fick mig att komma tillbaka till att måla Warhammer efter en 23 års lång pause och jag älskar det. Fortsätt med det du gör!
I'm so disappointed they were discontinued. I keep hoping that they'll be put back into production since Apocalypse was brought back. Even a limited run would be nice.
I had a warhammer fantasy chaos metal army... They were so beautifull... The war horses were amazing... Like the metal flamers... Now Im starting a imperial guard army, tempestus scions and valhallan. I would love those brushs! Thank you for your sharing of know how with us! Thank you!
Thank you for another awesome video, Loving all your work and your how 2 tips and videos. You have guided me back into minitures and painting after 22 years of absence. Keep doing what you do, you rock.
Back to the hobby after....16 years I guess. And I am glad that now there are a lot of very interesting channels like yours that help me to step up my painting every day. And, of course, a set of good brushes can't hurt!
Giveaway have ended, winner is: Mercuryrises! let me know what your favorite rare miniatures are! I'd love to hear what I missed in the video! Also feel free to correct me if I got any of the miniatures history wrong :D
One of my fav models ever is the Games Day 1998 Gorkamorka Nob, its still somewhat available for around 30gbp and up. I managed to pick one up in a trade back in the early 00s and ive had Wurrkop Da Morker leading most of my Gorkamorka Mobs.
Love the old school Ral Partha minis! My first painted mini was Ral Partha half-orc assassin. He's sitting in my old grade school cardboard pencil box :) Thank you for sharing these!
Always fun to see old minis, the Thunderhawk always makes me smiles, man that thig must be an absolute pain to build. Love the Chaos War Mammoth, so much so I have one sitting at the bottom of my pile of shame, along with boxes of Chaos Marauders. One day when my painting skills are acceptable enough this bad boy will get built and painted as it really should be terrorising the Old World.
Man, I once owned a thunder hawk kit, and the box it came in. Sold it after about three months as just never got round to building it and the idea of painting it filled me with dread. Wish I’d kept it now!!
Fun fact: the Slave Auction set went back into production via the original artist / Iron Wind Metals in 2011 and has been available ever since. Questionable Taste can be had for only £75.
Ive got the Malifaux Miss models. Last time I played, about two years ago, they could still randomly be rewarded as mystery prizes for tournaments. They also have translucent versions of regular models that are pretty rare.
Those ral partha dragons and GW war mammoth are the bees knees. I once played a big warhammer fantasy game back in the day and the store had one so it was used! Fortunately it was in my side as I was using chaos lol
So many blasts from the past. I remember being about 11 or 12 and a bloke sat in my local GW, building a METAL Thunder Hawk... I thought it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. Not sure if they are rare (probably are) but I'd love to get hold of THE original Rouge Trader 'Beakie' Marine, I think they reissued it in 2016... damn now my finger is hovering across that Buy Now button!!
Even rewatching these videos i get a giant hit of nostalgia. I really like this video format. You should do this but in a series. Focus on each faction separately.
I have a limited edition Ral Parthia dragon. I started painting it in my youth. I need to strip the paint off and paint it now. Love Ral Partha figs. I guess that is one advantage of being old and picking up gaming in the early 70’s. Haha. Chow, John...
The good ole metal Thunderhawk. Remember when it was released. Only one per employee when I worked for GW in Glaisdale. When our salary was on average about £ 900 / month. There were quite a few of us who had to go without food for a month...
All I am going to say is my country and yours are Arctic partners, as a result of both of us suffering winter I think the brushes will help me clean off my snow covered car in the mornings.
For Blood Bowl, one of the rarer item is the Lizardmen team given at the 2000 US game Day: The GD Lizardman team was released in the year 2000 at Games Day US and was created by simply modeling arms that didn’t have weapons for the most part and then using the WFB body with minor modifications (which is pretty much what they did to create the Amazon team as well). Reports vary on the number of teams created as original GW claimed they made only 45 … but since that time communication with other GW members has revealed that the number was more like 200 to 250.When originally sold the team came with the Saurus, Skink, WFB Lizardman Shaman, and Kroxigor figs but the Kroxigor was sold missing a tail so you had to call GW and order a WFB Kroxigor tail to complete him. Later AFTER Games Days, other companies and GW bundled the team with some WFB Lizardman Musicians to make extra money off the then very popular team (however in a true collector sense these should not be considered part of the team; any more so then the WFB figs GW-US is currently selling as BB assistant coaches). Finally, when JJ (Jarvis Johnson) decided to create Fanatic. GW-US and GW-UK got into an intellectual property argument over the design of the team, and JJ called the whole thing off and had Mark Bedford scuplt the current official BB Lizardman team. (Source Tom Anders)
Some of my fave rare(ish) minis will always be the huge variety of metal, very Oldhammer Realm of Chaos/WHFB super goofy looking chaos champions/characters. They had such charm about 'em.
Two seconds in and I already want a transformer of that. Add it to the list next to the koala and hotwheels twin mill. Also how cool would it be if it had G.I. Joe style play-ability where it opens up and acts like a vehicle doll-house for minis.

Can we all just, for a moment, appreciate the fact that the Astartes are so dedicated to getting safely onto the battlefield, that they actually went through the effort of sticking *window wipers* on the Thunderhawk?
Is that why the price tag is so high?
a few years ago i bought one of these on ebay (still have the photo's somewhere) and it weighed a ton. when i finally had to sell it the postage was horrendous, but it was worth owning for the couple of years that i did. a truly awesome model for its time, and the box was a sight to see with brass aquillas on all the corners.
Well, they are there for safety....But theyre only there to ensure that the Thunderhawk gets there and back safely, as for the occupants? meh...
No
One of the only inventions that lasts 40 000 years was invented by a woman.... go figure lol
I painted my first space marine this week!
Epic mate! Welcome to the club!
I need the brushes, my wife wants me to paint the living room.
"I have begun replacing OOOLL my furniture with Hero Quest pieces!"
Hahahhaa 😂
@@annemijn9790 The best thing about hero quest!!!! ;P
Coronas and fat roll is probably your best bet.
To be fair the tank brushes are really handy for getting behind radiator pipes.
a little addition to that list:
- Peter Jackson as a Hobbit: only 2 models ever produced, one giftet to PJ personally, the other one still @GW's HQ
- Uruk Scout with Axe: dont know a number but its selling for 200 quid on ebay (also 28mm)
Great Video man.
these are some great ones :D
The uruk hai scout with axe is now available on the GW website.

I am interested in the Brushes.
how about remaking them with a 3d printer? the unavailable ones i mean
"This is just a tiny 28mm figure for $70, how awesome is that?"
*Cries in Australia*
Literary cheaper than most single models.
"A tiny 28mm model for $70. How awesome is that?"
Slow down, Mr. Roundtree, people already complain about the $20+ single figure boxes.
I have a studio painted Hannah I think they did 13 for the Kickstarter
L9lz, here in Australia, $20 singles were long gone over a decade ago. $50 for a character is the normal.
@@danlotroth9231 Jesus, I know the conversion rate to my country, but that's still €25. Man you need to swipe characters up on Kickstarter

Lachlan Adams not a lot of 13 year olds into Warhammer. Welcome to the few
You don't need the expensive GW ones mate look on places like amazon and you can pick some up for way cheaper. :)
Cheap synthetics from an art store are less than 2€ a piece where I live. You need a few.
Don't get suckered by branding.

Nice to see more kids my age playing, I hope you get the brushes, oh and, what army do you play?
My favourite model of all time is "The Compleat Adventurer" A dwarf from games workshop that carried everything...including the kitchen sink.
The quality of your videos is great Emil, love the variety of topics. 👍👍
oh yeah.. the Chaos War Mammoth was my absolute dream back in the day.
.... "back in the day" Awww man, really!? I hate time.

Brooshes! i need more brooshes! Also, the metal thunderhawk is super bonkers. i remember when that came out :D
What a fun video idea, haven't seen others like it. Thanks for all the great content!
That Ral Partha “Dragon of Dragons” came out the year I graduated high school. Wow, I’m old! And so are many of my brushes.
I picked up that set a few years back for 30$ at a flea market.
I love knowing that you've managed to not only obtain and paint a Thunderhawk
One of my favorate is the snotling pumpwagom
Love a good oldhammer throwback! Just finished painting up a bunch of metal House Goliath dudes from the old Necromunda, to use in Kill Team. I even modelled one of the new Ogryn models to match his buddies, mohawk and all (see display picture)!

Hearing about rare lizardmen cheerleader while assembling lizardmen blood Bowl team. That MUST be a sign!
My one and absolute favorite mini is king Alrik on shield. He’s the one that got me into the game.
He’s not even rare but still so cool!
Bloodbowl goblin cheerleaders are one of my favorites.
Personally it'd be the Marienburg landship for me.
I have quite a few minis from the 1980s. I was such a frequent mail order customer for Citadel Miniatures that I was sent a Limited edition Citadel Miniatures mug one Xmas.

Cool to see you branching out into new styles of videos!
Can always use more brushes because these owls ain't about to paint themselves.
That cheerleader is actually pretty sick
I really enjoyed this kind of video, I’m basically a new one in this world so knowing this kind of thing are really interesting
Great video Squidmar. It was great seeing what out of print or limited edition minis there are.
If I had the money, I would totally start a gaming miniatures museum. That would be awesome.
I would like to grab those brushes to kick start my Star Wars legion!
Those brushes will be ideal to gift to my son to try and get him interested. Great vid, many thanks
I am getting my daughter into Kill Team, extra brushes would rock.
Thank you
Yes , make another one .
the brush set is really neat, got one for myself (so if you pick me by accident, just pick another ;) )
Great video, I've seen the gunship in person, massive.
As a career programmer, the video title means something different to me. 😅 Always love when I see crossovers between two of my passions.
I spent so much time already looking at old photos of forgotten minis... Some of them dont even look outdated, I hate that they are not made anymore.
Thanks a lot for this video, it was a pure puff of nostalgia :p
I could use these brushes, since my girlfriend, who is learning to paint, is going through mine way too quickly :D
Now that I am done with wedding planning (got married this past Sunday) when I get home from the honeymoon I can get back to painting miniatures, so some nice new brushes would be great!

Local man flexes on push-fit peasants his rare miniature collection (2019, colorized)
I always wanted the Armorcast Gargant, there was one at my LGS back when I was younger. To this day I still comb the internet for one..
I eat a lot of paint so the larger brushes included in the set would be great to have
Imagin that thunderhawk fell of the table.
itd break the floor
One of the people at my local hobby shop dropped his Thunderhawk and it broke beyond repair so he converted it into terrain
My flatmate purchased three sets of the Diablo II Monsters figs many many years ago when they first came out. He recently gifted me one, still shrinkwrapped, for my birthday last year. Very awesome gift. Not stupidly expensive or excessively rare, but will still set you back $150 - $200 new today.

You must be forgot The Tau Empire Knarloc. This is big dinosaur with many Kroot soldier with it is really amazing!
I'm so disappointed they were discontinued. I keep hoping that they'll be put back into production since Apocalypse was brought back. Even a limited run would be nice.
Jena Orechiel is an amazing 54mm Inquisitor model that I can't, for the the life of me, find on Ebay anymore.

Haha lots of tools for painting and assembling minis, but uses a kitchen knife to open boxes XD
hahaha, well.... you know....
Can never have too much brushes!
I remember the old Ral Partha minis. When I first started painting, Ral Partha paints were what I had to work with as well.
All of this is new to me as I picked up my first models 2 years ago. Cool look back. I can't imagine trying to build that thunderhawk...
Even rewatching these videos i get a giant hit of nostalgia. I really like this video format. You should do this but in a series. Focus on each faction separately.
Awesome stuff! Would very much love to see another video like this! Especially with the old D&D stuff! :D
I have a limited edition Ral Parthia dragon. I started painting it in my youth. I need to strip the paint off and paint it now. Love Ral Partha figs. I guess that is one advantage of being old and picking up gaming in the early 70’s. Haha.

John...
That War Mammoth looks awesome
It is in my destiny to obtain those brushes, the forgotten Gods have deemed it so! You cannot resist fate!

Yes! I actually own some of these! Though not that thunderhawk 😔
Two seconds in and I already want a transformer of that. Add it to the list next to the koala and hotwheels twin mill. Also how cool would it be if it had G.I. Joe style play-ability where it opens up and acts like a vehicle doll-house for minis.
That chaos war mammoth looks really awesome. I hope GW will be releasing something similar in the future.
Always loved the war mammoth
