@@knackigbrot hey there, sorry about this, its an issue that popped up due to how the new shipping system works, its being worked on by the platform developer and they said they should have a fix soon.
I can imagine them going back to the second hand shelf, and the original painter walking by the shop and just thinking 'damn, I guess I was pretty good at painting afterall'.
I so wanna see more of this kinda rescue-restoration... where the original isn't paintstripped and lost forever, it's just cleaned up a little, neatened here and there. Takes a lot of skill to blend a new paintset into an existing one. I loved this so much, keeping the original paint and all just made my soul happy.
Really love the enthusiasm for these and the mad respect you gave to their previous owner. Love love love the bright colors and coastline look. God bless you and your little menz.
This is super encouraging to me: When I think about someone being skilled at the hobby or the like I'm worried they'll be able to x-ray in on my mistakes (they will, but thats okay). But this also reminds me that that equally comes with the abilitybto zoom in on whatever idea I had in mind, even if it isn't executed perfectly.
I love buying pre-owned miniatures to add to my blood angels chapter project. I especially love buying people's converted space marines to add to it. I love the idea of having these miniatures with a history I dont know about before finding their way into my army.
Excoriators are SO COOL. I'm turning my artist action figure one into one even though I play Dark Angels cause they're so cool. For those who don't know: Bone color armored space Marines. Seems boring right? Cool part: Only damage that reduces the functionality of their armor is repaired. The rest is left and labelled with when where and what happened. So they just have this scarred armor with "lasrifle wound m39 whatever sector" "hormagaunt claw .... Etc all over
I love used shelves at game stores. I've gotten so many models for my Orks and World Eaters, and even a lot for my less played armies. It's also nice to let friends know something they need is there too.
A top tip to get smooth white primer is to use an airbrush and put the PSI up a LOT even up to 30 or 40. It helps atomise. Also don't be afraid of more thinner than you think.
I think you did a great job of bring those bases to life, I'm sure that whoever owned these models would be very chuffed that you kept to their vision and were able to execute properly!
That's such a good nugget of information about the white spray primer. I think thats spot on it dries in the air before hitting the model. I always wondered why sometimes my primer was dusty
Every time EOB uploads I get super inspired and say “today’s the day, I will finally get my word bearers finished and they will look amazing” I sit down at my painting desk and remember why I lost motivation to finish the guys in grey
They look awesome. I love painting desaturated yellow. With guiliman coming in and changing up things with new units, who’s to say black Templar didn’t turn their “stealth recon” units into LOOK OVER HERE! Marines
On my most recent yellow marines (Infernus Squad), I've gone with a very bright, shining green for the eyelenses, and it looks gorgeous. Definitely worth trying if you keep going with making some more yellow boys. I can't give you the exact color, as I've been using a very cheap local store brand green for it - it has terrible coverage and needs 3-5 layers just to make for decent eyes, but the end result is wonderful. A good bright green would definitely make it easier.
❤ the way you respect the origional. Our hobby is a journey ( with no fixed destination) and these might have fallen off at an earlier point, to be picked up by you and taken up just farther along. 👍💪💪
Yellow sounds Weird . But the painter had the idea and you did so good in painting them so well. Anyway, It is a nonsense but it worked. The marines in phobos armoire are so exceptionnal. The best in my opinion
I’ve only played incursors in combat patrol, but it seems like they’re actually pretty decent in melee. Those double combat knives are better than I expected.
I swear I've seen these exact minis at my FLGS that I game at in Wisconsin. Either that or someone had the same basing idea with the blue UV resin and cork. Beautiful Glowup for these models either way!
What if that yellow glaze over the first layer of highlights was something like a florescent yellow (or a 50/50 mix of florescent and regular yellow) to try and give yourself a value jump without the de-saturation? Or some TMM gold highlights.
I love the yellow, it make them more generic sci-fi wich ironically in Warhammer make them less generic. Also saturated yellow + lavender is such an underrated combination
The Stormspeeder could look cool with more of a modern military paintjob (a desert cream or a dark grey) going through a thick cloud of dust (using polyester cushion stuffing or cotton)
Man, those are the cleanest most polished , shiny squeaky clean space marines in the galaxy, cant wait till they get some weathering and battle scarring. Those guys just stepped off the showroom floor, they look nice but way too new and perfect.
Since those Phobos guys are yellow and you are Black Templar player, you could always find explaination that they are squad of Unnumbered Sons of Dorn. You know, Greyshields, those fresh Primaris guys who haven't joined any chapter yet.
100% was a contrast paint, not base+wash like you thought. That looks exactly like how the yellow contrasts perform, or how they have for me! Also, I literally JUST got an order from epic basing! Thanks for being such a positive inspiration to my hobby!
I always love seeing secondhand models rehabilitated. :D The yellow and blue color scheme makes me wonder if Craftworld Iyanden captured and impressed them into their service? :P
Ngl, I think a Storm speeder painted to match would look really good. Do a more elaborate base with the water splitting underneath and waves curling back in on themselves and a strip of the purple alien coral ground down the middle. I'm interpreting the landscape to not be super deep water but just kinda ankle deep viscous blue liquid everywhere.
So I guess this squad were doing recon for an area when some Black Templars showed up, and instead of arguing they chose to share data? Or they got cut off and the templars are their to rescue them? All sorts of storytelling possibilities
Hey have you ever heard of joytoy ? They’re a better version of the mcfarlen ones , I’d love to see how you’d go about changing a joytoy figure and converting it to something else
Could make them a special strike team sub division calling them the 'Templar Hornet Infiltration Division', they come out of no where, strike fast and sharp on alien worlds, leaving as fast as they arrived.
I don't like space marines but if I was to collect them I would definitely just have mixed chapters to suit each type of unit. Salamanders for flamers, Raven Guard for stealthy boys, Blood Angels for stabby boys etc I think each have their own charm and so should be used as such. Why just collect one chapter?
I do this with my marines. They're Alpha legion, so if I want to paint up my eliminators as Raven guard, it's totally cannon. 😜( They just cosplay as another chapter to confuse and obfuscate 😎)

I hope the original owner sees that his models found a good home
The rogue trader way
came here to type this exact comment haha fingers crossed!
Dunno man, i liked the original better but atleast they are loved

-but they dont look ✨special ✨
*pulls out coolest infiltrator ive seen*
exactly what I was thinking
Jay you gotta do more videos like this! Pimp my Minis: finding second hand figures and just enhancing what the old owner intended

Super-sneaky stealth unit called "infiltrators"? Of course it's going to be painted in BRIGHT YELLOW on a purple planet! That's peak 40K, love it!
Nids must be colour blind. its like Deer that cant see Orange from Green
It makes sense, any one spots them, they just yell "YOU CANNOT SEE ME, XENO FILTH." and put the fear of the God Emperor into them.
Can’t see them if your eyes hurt just looking at them
@@PearlJam2k6 John Cena style? 😄😄😄👍
Truly some Imperial Fists logic in the best way possible.
Another EoB W. Jay did it again. Instead of insulting and dunking a secondhand model's paintjob, he kept it positive as usual.
I've been in a bit of a painting funk these past few weeks, but Jay, your enthusiasm, is rubbing off.
Tonight, we paint!
keep it up
Wish my miniature shop had used minis too
Really love the enthusiasm for these and the mad respect you gave to their previous owner. Love love love the bright colors and coastline look. God bless you and your little menz.
I love watching as Jay goes from being avid black templars to slowly slipping to just painting space marines whatever colours.
That's how it always goes. I know I started with exclusively Kill Teams and now I have an entire army because I just kept finding cool minis.
This is super encouraging to me:
When I think about someone being skilled at the hobby or the like I'm worried they'll be able to x-ray in on my mistakes (they will, but thats okay).
But this also reminds me that that equally comes with the abilitybto zoom in on whatever idea I had in mind, even if it isn't executed perfectly.
This is the sort of thing I hope someday when I'm gone someone picks up my minis and keeps them going. People like you who do this are awesome.
I love buying pre-owned miniatures to add to my blood angels chapter project. I especially love buying people's converted space marines to add to it. I love the idea of having these miniatures with a history I dont know about before finding their way into my army.
That is awesome
I agree, that is awesome. However, Alpha Legion minis are actively infiltrating your army 😂
You could totally turn those into imperial fists and get a small Last wall protocol detachment to go with your black Templars.
Excoriators are SO COOL. I'm turning my artist action figure one into one even though I play Dark Angels cause they're so cool.
For those who don't know: Bone color armored space Marines.

Your enthusiasm and hapiness doing this always melt my heart. Thanks for everything Jay
One has to admire your creativity, Jay. The touch ups, and enhancements you made to those models look great. Keep up the great work you do. 😊😊

Ah yes, Luminous yellow, the most stealthy of colours.
You dont need to be stealthy when you are walking cover.
Luckily the space marines are still broken and op
@@slavaukraini1991 lol what game are you playing? Space marines are pretty bad rn.
No one to report your position when they're all dead.
Good thing yellow blends in with all colours of light, you can blind anyone if the yellow is bright enough 😂
Gritty primer can also happen in very dry air. I had to rework some Cadians who got a sandpaperlike finish when I primed in the middle of summer.
Love that used shelf, best spot for cheap stuff!
Man, they look great... never thought id be a fan of yellow marines, but they slap!
Nicely done

Hey Jay, I think those are Marines Malevolent.
And they are awesomely done
The best chapter for cool kids eho can actually party
I don't believe they are, normally the Marines malevolent have a black torso and yellow pauldrons

I swear I've seen these exact minis at my FLGS that I game at in Wisconsin. Either that or someone had the same basing idea with the blue UV resin and cork. Beautiful Glowup for these models either way!
I like the concept of Yellow Imperial Fist marines working alongside Black Templars. Sons of Dorn who got each others backs!
What if that yellow glaze over the first layer of highlights was something like a florescent yellow (or a 50/50 mix of florescent and regular yellow) to try and give yourself a value jump without the de-saturation? Or some TMM gold highlights.
I really love this! Its a breath of fresh air seening a unique paint scheme!
That leather looks like gryph-hound orange. I used it on my Beastmen. I think it's one of those single-pigment formulations.
I absolutely love these rescue videos! Please make a lot more of them
for the black you could have used german grey from ak colours (it's the same thing)
I love the yellow, it make them more generic sci-fi wich ironically in Warhammer make them less generic. Also saturated yellow + lavender is such an underrated combination
The Stormspeeder could look cool with more of a modern military paintjob (a desert cream or a dark grey) going through a thick cloud of dust (using polyester cushion stuffing or cotton)
Great video as usual! I appreciate you building a story for the minis and nice paint job!
Man, those are the cleanest most polished , shiny squeaky clean space marines in the galaxy, cant wait till they get some weathering and battle scarring. Those guys just stepped off the showroom floor, they look nice but way too new and perfect.
I love the original paint and bases for their retro feel
Great paintjob but the basing is star of the show here!
Really been looking for a place to get basing bits from never heard of epic basing really loving what I am seeing over there.
What's the model at 7:39?
Love the yellow and purple! Very well done!
I think this might be the best mini rescue out there
10:08 once again, Imy brain hears you say, "your mom."
Heh, heh, shut up Butthead.
Since those Phobos guys are yellow and you are Black Templar player, you could always find explaination that they are squad of Unnumbered Sons of Dorn. You know, Greyshields, those fresh Primaris guys who haven't joined any chapter yet.
Wow your Black Templar incursor is fantastic!
Jesus Christ Jay, you didn't have to go that hard! They're amazing!
Brilliant work, they look fantastic in that scheme.
If you ever sell them I'd love to have them. They'd fit perfectly into my custom chapter in everyway. They look excellent!!
I wish I was as lucky to get such cool stuff on a used shelf lol😋 Amazing paint job!
Nostalgia time! EoB doing weird and cool bases, it takes me back to simpler times :D
Really great tutorial and explained on highlights. I want to make my repaint like yours in future!
i want to say thank you , this video gave me the perfect idea for my iron warriors. A siege batlle along tthe beach a bit like d-day
Hay, just sayen, black templars hail from emperial fists...
100% was a contrast paint, not base+wash like you thought.
That looks exactly like how the yellow contrasts perform, or how they have for me!
Also, I literally JUST got an order from epic basing!
Thanks for being such a positive inspiration to my hobby!
You gave them the HD treatment; keeping that original vibe.
they look amazing. outstanding work!
"THESE MODELS ARE MINE NOW", = "THE RING IS MINE SAM!"
This video is exactly what I needed to see to get my to paint my infiltrators
i do love the alien landscape
I always love seeing secondhand models rehabilitated. :D The yellow and blue color scheme makes me wonder if Craftworld Iyanden captured and impressed them into their service? :P
That looks absolutely awesome.
A good yellow paintjob always looks so nice. Wish I had the patients to do yellow lmao
Yellow is not that hard, it just requires some prep.
Vince Venturella has a really good video on yellow.
I love the second hand section of my local store.
Ngl, I think a Storm speeder painted to match would look really good. Do a more elaborate base with the water splitting underneath and waves curling back in on themselves and a strip of the purple alien coral ground down the middle. I'm interpreting the landscape to not be super deep water but just kinda ankle deep viscous blue liquid everywhere.
This is awesome! More of these vids 🙌🏻
For sure one of my favorite things about buying used models is finding someone's previous work.
These guys look like Bionicle. I like that.
Wow the purple really fits well
I love how well colour theory works on minis, my ultramarines have yellow bases and purple shading on their armour and it works so well together
This yellow color scheme work will fir Imperial Fist under the command of Sigismond, first High Marshal of the Black Templars .
I love this type of content. Awesome job!
great Project! i have done similar spice up's of most of the used models i've gotten... unless they are really bad, haha
I would love to see you do lamentors with a similar yellow
So I guess this squad were doing recon for an area when some Black Templars showed up, and instead of arguing they chose to share data?
Or they got cut off and the templars are their to rescue them?
All sorts of storytelling possibilities
if you make them imperial fist they'll blend into your templars well
Id love to see Jay get his hands on a chaos warhound and paint it up for his death guard. If he has enough paint
They look like wasps, and that vibe suits phobos armour, I think
Infiltrators : we are sneaky
Also Infiltrators : Yellow !
I'm allergic to green stuff and milliput, sadly so have to use bluetac.
Hey have you ever heard of joytoy ? They’re a better version of the mcfarlen ones , I’d love to see how you’d go about changing a joytoy figure and converting it to something else
Nice job! The colors really pop.
Could make them a special strike team sub division calling them the 'Templar Hornet Infiltration Division', they come out of no where, strike fast and sharp on alien worlds, leaving as fast as they arrived.
They look amazing! Now i want to paint something yellow!
I love the incursors and infiltrators 😅
The highlights on the Yellow are ok, but the ones on the Black are astounding, often Black painted details are dull,but these ones not.
What was that stray bullet on those magnificient storm speeders ?!
I miss the ravenwing the v9 ravenwing so bad
What brand of UV resin do you use? Everything I've tried turns yellow and shrinks on curing.
it kind of gives me ARC Trooper Vibes, pretty cool

Thats literally the deathwatch
