The color scheme based on seniority fits perfectly with bears as well! So good!! If it's black - Fight back If it's brown - Lay down If it's white - Good night
I really enjoyed hearing your process of building your chapter. I love homebrews/custom chapters and the freedom that they give you to be creative. Can't wait to see these guys get built out into different units types too, the different colour schemes for referencing their rank sounds cool!
I hate to be the BEARer of bad news but... I cant bear it anymore! The only thing that made it bearable was the bear puns. Imma actually stop this is cringe.
Love the concept of different colours for different troop types, you could even do different bears for each level of troops. With polar being the most dangerous so they are your cream leaders
I'm not even a person who's been into miniatures, but I love seeing the passion behind your work and gets me really interested. Even if I don't dabble myself
The hair and beard on the captain fits the hibernation lore, siting in a cave for a few hundred years, the beard growth, and he looks like a caveman too lol, love the chapter result, glad you took your time
Just saw this in my feed. Thank you for sharing your hobby journey. I am way deeper into Age of Sigmar rather than 40k, but I love seeing content like this from the heart. This video has inspired me as a format to best talk about my nearly 2 year journey in making what is now a homebrew Lumineth Elves army. It will be my first ever TH-cam video. Thanks again for sharing, and happy hobbying with the rest of your Space Marines force. It is truly a labor of love.
I love the idea of elites going for the cream armor, especially if the elites also have more fur to balance it out. The fur becomes the grit element, while the armor carries a royal feel. Maybe even try purple eyes for those troops rather than red, so they're a bit closer to the base blue while also keeping some heat and adding some royalty.
i like the hibernation because i think space marines do have that ability when they are badly wounded so maybe a genetic mutation allows them more control. great work all around
Absolutely amazing! I can’t wait to see where this army goes and I love the idea of the different colored armor depending on the troops. Would love a conversion guide.
Please do a video on the digital colour selection process, as I simply can't afford to use the trial and error approach on lots of different minis. Also, I know you mentioned it briefly here, but I'd be really interested to here your opinion on Krita. Awesome video!
I did this for my Palanites on Photoshop: all you have todo is use the Vector tool, select the different areas of the armour, then turn them into different layers. Then each and every layer you can colour differently. It’s pretty simple, don’t know why he offered to do a video on it, it’s gonna have to be sooooooo stretched out if he wanted it to be 10-20 minutes.
When you said they hibernate, that's when the chains made sense to me. Like dreadnoughts, they can be chained to a wall while they sleep on long journeys across the galaxy.
I know you don't necessarily want them to be too close to the space wolves but from a lore standpoint it'd make a lot of sense from them to be a Primaris space marine sub chapter whose gene seed mutated from making them wolf like to bear like instead. It'd also make sense with why they are so much bigger than the average space marine. You could also make your chapter master wear full white to mimic the polar bear, the strongest and biggest of all bears
I'm very invested in the Space Bears, seeing how they turn out, the types of units, their colour schemes, and their design for each of the units and roles. They look amazing.
I'm glad you decided to keep the cream armor in some way, it's beautiful. That first cream model made me question my entire space marine army it was so crisp. I assume you are going to add fur boots to the leaders to counteract the perceived model imbalance? I excitedly await your next primursa update video!
Now I want to Shad raise up his own Space Marine Chapter painted up like medieval knights with astra militarum painted and kitbashed as levies to go head to head against the Astra Primursa.
Excellent vid! You fully explained where you were coming from and didn't make it the standard 10-minute-for-two-ads TH-cam format. Your passion shines through in an explanation which made me feel your enthusiasm!
man Jazza, I used to be into art when I was a lot younger, and loved your channel. now the highschool me obsessed with warhammer, i didnt even knew you painted models! Awesome to enjoy your content again, you didnt change at all, and I mean that in a great way!
This is really sick. I’d never even thought about making my own chapter until this (I’m new). I’d love a video on their lore and dome more advanced units!
love warhammer and brand new to painting minis ive been binging ttt while i paint and ive just been getting really into it. seeing your process with your chapter has been awesome and inspiring.
The last 5 seconds of the video are everything. That little moment explains how much this hobby means to us. It can take us back to such a care free time. Thank you for keeping that in!
I am so jealous. I personally am still in the process of creating my custom chapter (though that’s more lore wise and drawing cuz I can’t paint a model to save my life)
Jazza you continue to inspire the hell outta me and always surprise me while doing so. I hope I can be a creator like you someday, I really love seeing my boy doing something he loves. You can’t tell me this man isn’t having a blast and this has got to be the most creative and pumped I’ve ever seen him and I love it. It gives me drive and that energy to tackle my own stuff. Rock the hell on Jazza. I loveeee the designs as usual.
super cool to see the process here. I'm always torn between painting the incredible models as they are, or cannibalising and going for something unique.
that photo shop trick is AWESOME, please do make a video on it. This video has been a ride, thank you for sharing all you've learned. This makes me super exited to try some of this stuff out!!!!!
They look amazing I am just getting back into warhammer 40k myself and you have inspired me to create my own space marine chapter. Can't wait to see your next video. Keep up the great work.
Six months is a pretty quick pace to design a homebrew chapter you really love. I've been painting pretty consistently for 15 years and only last year found MY chapter design, the Angels Errant. Subscribing, and looking forward to seeing more!
The process was compelling, but your flavour text hit different. Recognizing childhood nostalgias influence on the design, and especially the idea of brighter shades for the elites. Black, to brown grizzly to cream polar bear, and drop bears are an instant classic. Good stuff.
They look great! As an art teacher who runs a school Warhammer club, this is great to show the process and not to rush into decision making. So cool to see it evolve. Looking forward to the rest of the army!!
This, this is why I come to this channel. I love the creativity that this channel brings with its 40 000 content. It has its own niche and brings something else to the table. I'm looking forward to see more in the future. I'm so happy that there are so many different channels bringing different kinds of knowledge and content. Instead of the same kind over and over. Great video.
Jazza I really wanna see what you can do with a set of McFarlane Warhammer 40K 7" figures. I'm a huge figure fan and I've seen what you can do with the tiny ones so I wanna see what you can do to a action figure without killing the "action" part
Really cool to see and hear that you had so much fun with this. It was almost 2 decades before I finally settled on a completed paint scheme and chapter name / story. It's been evolving through my entire time in the hobby to the point where they feel very much a part of me and my love of the game. :D Now just gotta grind through painting about 15k points worth of marines. XD I finalized my scheme last year and I'm about 25% dome my army at this point. Long ways to go yet, but having so much fun with it.
Great natural speaking and pleasant voice. Great content as well. I don’t do converting myself, heck I don’t even do painting, but still love to watch this channel. Also great how you always try to challenge yourself with every new project.
Thank you for sharing that whole journey, was fantastic to see the whole process and the part that clicked for me was the lore description you gave at the end. The idea of a ship of Primursa, in orbit around a planet but the ship running dark and all of them in the sus an membrane sleep whilst they wait, or in caves or natural hides on a planet until that moment comes and the activation signal is sent and with a deep rumble a whole chapter marches to war! The colour schemes as well made me think more of stone/natural colours, reflecting the fact that this stone statue could be in a cave for months, natives think that its some statues of war gods and then the eye's light up one day and these statues march out to war!
I love the detail of the white paw on the knee of the mini at the 5 minute mark. Feel like this could be their crest or something like that. Should be featured on every armour.
This is incredible, would love to know how to sculpt little details like you have done on these for customization, as to me this is so impressive. The chapter is beyond impressive and the attention to detail not only in the model but the basics of the lore is really cool
I absolutely love the customisation of miniatures that you do! Could you please do a video showing how its done and show us your process :) Your space bears look epic!!!
Chapter master Yogi! Flamer unit with Smokey the bear squad leader with the drill instructor campaign cover/hat. Monsters of the (midway) “insert home planet here” from the Chicago Bears! So many fun directions and options to take this! Love it! I’ve gotten bored with my heresy armor style spacewolves and a custom chapter may be just what I need to respark my interest. Again love what you did here!
I honestly think you’d really like making custom Lego minifigures Jazza. If you’re into painting/ sculpting miniatures, there’s an entire community of people who make custom minifigures that are insanely detailed and look really cool. I feel like you’d really enjoy doing at least one, seems right up your alley and it’s really fun (speaking from experience).
Wow Vid and concept. This vid was such a roller coaster for me. Instantly loved the idea of the Space Bears and the direction you were going for the first part. I was with you up to the Cream armor. Up till than I felt the first mini was the best of the 3 and felt they should be darker color not brighter for the armor. Than you said you were going with charcoal and I was right back with you. But the reveal of the painted mini looked too bright. Almost a dark blue tint and very shiny. But I had forgotten about the grim! That completely fixed the look for me and gave it that Dark background that really makes the Red and Gold pop to what the eye is drawn to first. Great job and I am now subbed to see more of this chapter. As a Dark Angels player, love the concept of the 3 colors for the chapter too.
Love it. Reminds me of the early days of WH40K where building your own chapters rather than slavishly following the painting guides on the back of the box was much more encouraged. Awesome job. Very inspiring.
changing the eyes from red to blue is the design choice i agree most with for some reason. bright blue contrasts beautifully with grimy red and it's one of my favorite color combinations.
Hey brother, I've never seen your channel before just a 40K fan. I have to say your design really reflects the lore amazingly! The name you chose is fantastic and the concept of a "Space Bear" is awesome and I honestly can't believe I've never seen the idea played out before. I envision these guys as specializing in conducting missions in the harshest of frozen environments. Your idea of them actually hibernating and having incredible patience is amazing and ties in to their specific chapter ability. Perhaps this lends them some regenerative ability? Getting injured during a mission and relaying a safe position before going into hibernation that would save them from a fatal wound. The astartes suddenly stopped and I heard the regal echo of his voice from under his helmet. "Do you know what His greatest weapon is, guardsman?" "No, your excellency." I stammered. He remained still as ice as I awaited the answer. I began to feel uneasy as I stood there in the freezing wind. Just as I thought the astartes had frozen in his armor, I heard the mechanical whir before I saw the glint of his blade. He removed the previously invisible creature from his blade a mere inch from my face and replied: "Patience." Dope stuff man!
The color scheme based on seniority fits perfectly with bears as well! So good!!
If it's black - Fight back
If it's brown - Lay down
If it's white - Good night
definitely needs to make the HQ leaders polar bear inspired.
I think we got the Chapter battlecry right there.
Berries and Bells.
What about cave bears?
If it’s blue - WHY ARE THE ULTRAMARINES COMING FOR YOU?!?
I would LOVE to see space bear terminators, chaplains, and dreadnoughts
Whole army in a battle report
Space Bear Intimidator chaplain but he has a bear head
Did you say Dreadnought👀
@@gamerjoshwhite97 yes lol
Dreadbear.
Two power claws and nothing else
I really enjoyed hearing your process of building your chapter. I love homebrews/custom chapters and the freedom that they give you to be creative. Can't wait to see these guys get built out into different units types too, the different colour schemes for referencing their rank sounds cool!
And I love your content! Thank you for your kind words Pete!!
Pete you should do a conversion for his chapter!
Pete The Wargamer x Tabletop Time collab?
Maybe you should make a vid on converting a Primaris into a Space Bear lol
would love to see your take on converting a Space Bear
Ok, Astra Primusa is now my favorite chapter of space marines. Well done!
Panda heavy weapons squad now! 🐼🐼🐼
Red pandas for there vet sergeants
Polar bear assault terminators.
You beat me to it! Great idea :)
Panda would be an awesome chaplain!!
And for the jump troopers grey like the Drop Bear...
"like Koalas, or drop bears"
*Laughs in Australian*
All the helmets need to have forks on the top of them...
Croiky
Good thing you started this process 6 months before this video.
If I knew this when you started, the wait would've been... Unbearable.
Yes it would have for you but I would be able to bear it (will see my self out)
@@ShovieBOSO I just need to get my bearings here with all of the bear puns
I bearly contained myself when I saw this video.
@@joryll don't go I got another pun... bear with me
I hate to be the BEARer of bad news but... I cant bear it anymore! The only thing that made it bearable was the bear puns. Imma actually stop this is cringe.
So your best advice in creating an original unit would be to stick to the Bear essentials and keep your Bearings with your idea!!
Love the concept of different colours for different troop types, you could even do different bears for each level of troops. With polar being the most dangerous so they are your cream leaders
need some polar bears
Maybe a random yellow in the black troops
(An albino black bear is yellow, like winnie the Pooh)
something about the words "cream leaders" ain't right
It could go black bear, grizzly bear, and polar bear. Based on different dangerousness.
Bruh I said this before I saw the end of jazzas vid 😂
I'm not even a person who's been into miniatures, but I love seeing the passion behind your work and gets me really interested. Even if I don't dabble myself
Now we need their Chapter Master with his pet bear. :P
Speaking of bears, where's Zoran, I bet he'd love this!
Cyberbear steed
@@shanem8145 Nah, should make it a Companion, like Russ had Freki and Geri.
@@berthulf why not both? An AI cyberbear
RUSS DISSAPROVES OF THE SPACE BEARS
SOACE WOLVES SUPREMACY
@@thedyingmeme6 RUSS IS THE SINGLE MOST SUCCESSFUL TRAITOR IN THE IMPERIUM'S HISTORY!!! But yes Magnus did fuck up alot.
The hair and beard on the captain fits the hibernation lore, siting in a cave for a few hundred years, the beard growth, and he looks like a caveman too lol, love the chapter result, glad you took your time
Now we only need Majorkill to do a lore video on them.
The amount of gay and furry jokes will be unbearable.
@@oban6051 I see what you did there !😂
Lurtin would be better
Naaaah. Mk is doo doo

I’m just imagining a Pooh Bear one with bright gold/yellow and red robes...
An army of gruff Pooh Bears. My god that would be amazing, adorable and terrifying at the same time.
Chaplain Pooh bears
Librarian
No pants
That will be as the Chapter Master probably, with psychic power that gives honey to heal the wounds of each space bear
I love the idea of elites going for the cream armor, especially if the elites also have more fur to balance it out. The fur becomes the grit element, while the armor carries a royal feel. Maybe even try purple eyes for those troops rather than red, so they're a bit closer to the base blue while also keeping some heat and adding some royalty.
I just can't wait to see the one really elaborate caption/leader
i like the hibernation because i think space marines do have that ability when they are badly wounded so maybe a genetic mutation allows them more control. great work all around
I love how the streaking grime also gives a bit more warmth to the grey
Me too!
Absolutely amazing! I can’t wait to see where this army goes and I love the idea of the different colored armor depending on the troops. Would love a conversion guide.

Go download impcat on your phone. Then search on reddit for the files. Nice n easy
Agreed, I'd love to see this.

It’s pretty simple, don’t know why he offered to do a video on it, it’s gonna have to be sooooooo stretched out if he wanted it to be 10-20 minutes.
You definitely need to make a Dreadnought or two for them to fit in with the hibernation vibe, maybe a tutorial on how to do those insane beards!
When you get to their vehicles... caves, trees, rocks, Icebergs in case you add polar bear Terminators.
or, Brown Bear, Cataphracti terminators. Polar Bear Captains and Command Squads.
Cave bear dreadnaughts?
Looks absolutely phenomenal. Can't wait to see a full army, maybe some battle reports. :)
You should do a collab with that Jazza guy, make like a SpaceMarine chair figurine or something. That'd be really cool.
What, like a chair of a SM?
@@thedyingmeme6 If a SM was a Chair.
Wow I'm surprised you went 5 months without some dumbass saying that he has jazza without realizing that it was a joke
When you said they hibernate, that's when the chains made sense to me. Like dreadnoughts, they can be chained to a wall while they sleep on long journeys across the galaxy.
Okay... Who else thought of tardigrades when they heard "Space Bears"?
And NOW I'm reminded of the Starfinder game's Space Tardigrade.
Sorry pal I don't know tardigrades. I'm going to Google it now so I I don't know why I commented...oh yeah it's a comment for the holy algorithm
I just looked up 'waterbears' I am amazed.and now your comment makes sense to me. Thanks .ta.
Didn't know this channel was jazza(found it rn)
But within the first few seconds i knew by the voice and got exited
The biggest takeaway from this video is that Jazza's family go for Essendon.
I know you don't necessarily want them to be too close to the space wolves but from a lore standpoint it'd make a lot of sense from them to be a Primaris space marine sub chapter whose gene seed mutated from making them wolf like to bear like instead. It'd also make sense with why they are so much bigger than the average space marine. You could also make your chapter master wear full white to mimic the polar bear, the strongest and biggest of all bears
As a fellow painter and kitbash lover this is awesome and has inspired me to give my VoidWalkers some new greenstuff bits
15:03 Jazza: does amazing NMM
Streaking Grime: no
Please make a video on choosing colors in PS! I really feel like that would be very helpful!
or mayb in GIMP or a free program. I may not pay for photoshop just to run color theory on minis
@@nickrogers3111 Didn't he mention krita?
You could also use the "Bolter and Chainsword Space Marine Painter tool" to create a color scheme for your space marines
Is there a link you can put here?
I'm very invested in the Space Bears, seeing how they turn out, the types of units, their colour schemes, and their design for each of the units and roles. They look amazing.
I'm glad you decided to keep the cream armor in some way, it's beautiful. That first cream model made me question my entire space marine army it was so crisp. I assume you are going to add fur boots to the leaders to counteract the perceived model imbalance? I excitedly await your next primursa update video!
Apothecary color scheme
Can't wait to see that chapter master that was teased
Your an amazing Artist & thank u for bringing ur fan base into the GrimDark future that is 40k extremely grateful for ur time and Support
Ooooo I can't wait for more updates on this army
Dope! I love this so much...I know so little about warhammer but these minis and the lore is absolutely fantastic
Now I want to Shad raise up his own Space Marine Chapter painted up like medieval knights with astra militarum painted and kitbashed as levies to go head to head against the Astra Primursa.
A medieval Knights styled chapter, maybe based on the Arthurian Legend, or other mythical Knights, like the 12 Paladins of Charlemagne.
Excellent vid! You fully explained where you were coming from and didn't make it the standard 10-minute-for-two-ads TH-cam format. Your passion shines through in an explanation which made me feel your enthusiasm!
Loved the direction you took. Beary interesting
15:47 Strike First, Strike Hard, No Mercy.
Pretty good. So there should be a large number of Dreadnoughts then too right? For the Hibernation specialisation?
Absolutely gorgeous models. You applied the snow effect perfectly! Individual snow flakes all over the place adds so much extra detail
How you communicated your editing process was awesome, any design discipline could learn from that.
man Jazza, I used to be into art when I was a lot younger, and loved your channel. now the highschool me obsessed with warhammer, i didnt even knew you painted models! Awesome to enjoy your content again, you didnt change at all, and I mean that in a great way!
I still love the backstory to these models
This is really sick. I’d never even thought about making my own chapter until this (I’m new). I’d love a video on their lore and dome more advanced units!
This looks so cool! One question: does anyone know the scale of the chains used here? Are those 3mm ones?
Probably closer to 1.5mm
I use 1/700 scale model ship anchor chains. You can get them on ebay. They're smaller than the ones shown in this vid though.
They look like 1-1.5mm
I think 1 mm
love warhammer and brand new to painting minis ive been binging ttt while i paint and ive just been getting really into it. seeing your process with your chapter has been awesome and inspiring.
Oh shit, you like 40K Jazza? Nice. A surprise, but a welcome one for sure.
"A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one." i have officially engaged the NeRd
Absolutely worth the 6 months! They look so good.
when the dude fell over and his claw fell off
god i felt that
The last 5 seconds of the video are everything. That little moment explains how much this hobby means to us. It can take us back to such a care free time. Thank you for keeping that in!
Thanks for watching literally every second of the video! ❤
The main chapter commander should have the jazza face from your art box
awesome video, love the whole story you made for the chapter, and the process from start to finish with all the insight of how you finalized the look.
I am so jealous. I personally am still in the process of creating my custom chapter (though that’s more lore wise and drawing cuz I can’t paint a model to save my life)
try some 40k wooden elfs marines :D coloure scheme

super cool to see the process here. I'm always torn between painting the incredible models as they are, or cannibalising and going for something unique.
When in doubt, always opt for the latter... You'll be happier with it, long-term.
This has been a massive inspiration for me, thank you so much TTT, I am now on the path of creating my own custom warhammer army

They look amazing I am just getting back into warhammer 40k myself and you have inspired me to create my own space marine chapter.
Can't wait to see your next video.
Keep up the great work.
I was so disappointed about there not being a whole squad 😑
I wanted a squad as well. Can't have a chapter with just a couple homeboys..

Those eyes are absolutely incredible, I love the grimy feel for them and the pelts looks amazing

Wonderful. I love how you take a silly concept like Space Bears and make it cool and grimdark. Reminds me of what forge world did to the space sharks
Hey brother, I've never seen your channel before just a 40K fan.
I have to say your design really reflects the lore amazingly! The name you chose is fantastic and the concept of a "Space Bear" is awesome and I honestly can't believe I've never seen the idea played out before.
I envision these guys as specializing in conducting missions in the harshest of frozen environments. Your idea of them actually hibernating and having incredible patience is amazing and ties in to their specific chapter ability. Perhaps this lends them some regenerative ability? Getting injured during a mission and relaying a safe position before going into hibernation that would save them from a fatal wound.
The astartes suddenly stopped and I heard the regal echo of his voice from under his helmet.
"Do you know what His greatest weapon is, guardsman?"
"No, your excellency." I stammered.
He remained still as ice as I awaited the answer. I began to feel uneasy as I stood there in the freezing wind. Just as I thought the astartes had frozen in his armor, I heard the mechanical whir before I saw the glint of his blade. He removed the previously invisible creature from his blade a mere inch from my face and replied:
"Patience."
Dope stuff man!
MASTERFUL idea using photoshop to test colors on the miniatures! Have never thought of that! So cool!
