28 years old. Bloody hell have I been collecting that long.
Gotta say it, these guys make me think of Cable, Forge, Thunderbird, & Cyclops from the X-Men. Fill in the blank on the last guy. LOL They look great!
In the lore, Scouts were the chapters aspirants on their way to becoming full blown Space Marines. The scouts in the Space Wolves were some of the older marines, though, which is why they can take different weapons and deepstrike
Yeah, the Blood Claws are the bebbeh Space Wolves
Space Wolves in 3rd Ed. were beasts: Rhino rush tactics; Land Raider Crusader laden with 14 Blood Claws led by a Wolf Priest hit like truck; & the Wolf Scouts with melta bombs deepstike turn 2 wrecked your enemies camping armour!
Not surprising considering this is one of two fan favourite chapters that only see the Codex Astartes as ass wiping supplies with outdated scribbles on it (Guilliman’s been working on it since he woke up).
Wolf scouts were full grown space marines, but cus their mentality didn’t fit into the pack mentality, they were took out of main line squads and had their lone Wolf tactics but to better use. Basically the small Spec. Ops. teams
It is funny that Scouts are considered "Elites" in the current (9e) codex, when they're supposed to be the exact opposite of elite.
There is a reason, though: limiting Scouts to an "elites" choice makes them less common than full marines, as they "should" be in the lore.
(Also, IIRC many Marine players were fielding entire armies of Scouts in prior editions, which wasn't how they were intended to be used!)
love these old sculpts
I play a space marine army a lot of the time. Ultra marines. I have two painted squads of scouts and an unopened box, with the plastic wrap still intact. When I was buying boxes back in the day, I often would get an extra and never touch it. I pretty much have a full unopened army in storage, for many of my armies.
I found a squad of 10 pewter scouts in my basement when I was 6. Just dug them back out of storage now, and combined them with some new plastic ones, new paint job and everything
Painted one of these as Buzz Lightyear for my son, great little painting project
I love scouts I don't really have a good reason to but they are some of my favourite classic space marine models.
I really like them too, I think because they feel more properly proportioned compared to space marines from the same era. They just look good!
In 5th edition Wolf scouts were still elites. You could attach a wolf guard as sergant to them. You could come from right, left and behind as a reserve. Put in a melter, a combi melter and a powerfist made them a bane for enemy tanks.
I picked 5 up covered in paint for £3.50 stripped them and I'm in the process of repainting as howling griffons, absoulutely lovely models!
TIL that my 5 year old son likes to watch your videos together with me. As he doesn't understand English yet I had to explain what you were painting. So we concluded that you are building and painting adult Lego. He loved the "Huuuuge Robo" you did(the latest eldar mech).
I really like how you start your videos with "what's up hobby friends" rather than "what's up guys" - warhammer is for everyone: men, women, nonbinaries and others
Nice one
WOW!!! I remember buying a few of these guys brand new. Hell I'm old LOL.
Yes! Imperial Fists!!
When I was looking into these models I found several places where I thought it was saying these came out in '93, but as several of you have pointed out, while they are second edition models, they actually came out in '97. So a little off, and thank you for pointing it out! Still...these models are old and awesome!!
i have some old from 1993, look like punks end of rogue trader, my opinion!!! And these in the video, coming out in 1996/1997 in Second edition i guess some month later the third edition comes.... i can prove it with german white dwarf 1-80 complete.... now 465 :).Inquisitor Mancubuss
Scouts are great. Mine have long been tank hunters, and objective holders.
I got some modern scouts with Snipers and Camo Cloaks, I was given them as a sorta gift by my uncle when we showed him around our local Comic book store. It was shortly after that I found my love for orks so these guys got a partial Salamanders paint job and some volcanic bases. I'm willing to give them up to bolster your Imperial Fists if you so wish.
Blood angels scouts were really good. Infiltrate to 18in away from the enemy, black rage towards the enemy up to 6 inches so you could potentially charge on turn 1 and str 5 int 5 on the charge.
also those models were in use until the plastic scout came out in mid 2000s 4th - 5th edition
Wow those old scout models actually look a lot better than the current models.
It’s like the new ones aren’t proportioned properly. Weird.
If you liked these sculpts Casey, you should look at some of the 2nd Edition Imperial Guard sculpts in white metal, They are pretty much universally excellent.
I have some favorites from back then. *Cough* MORDIANS! *cough*cough*
@@penguinsentinel8508 Preatorian 24th Foot. ;) Also you forget how good the 'old' Cadiens were.
All of my scouts are the old metals. They are some of the first models I ever bought back in the 90s and I still have them. I love them! I thought they were the best minis I had when I started and they still look great. I also much prefer the 25mm bases to the huge ones everyone is on today.
I think this is one of the coolest model paint jobs I have seen, thank you for sharing
All scouts are elite in 9th. GW has done a great job of gutting the uniqueness of chapters like SW, BA, and DA
It's funny how the different, less distorted proportions of the metal scouts make it clearer just how much Primaris Phobos marines are a straight update of them, the same way Primaris Tacticus marines are an update of the classic tactical squad with a Mark IV helmet. The plastic scouts have weird hunched-over postures and giant heads and the sculpting of the cloth on their arms and legs makes it poofy, but on the metal scouts, with their smaller heads, straighter stances, and less emphasis on the cloth sleeves and pant legs, you can see the Infiltrators/Incursors/Reivers have the same boots, the same hip pouches, the same grenades and pouches and things hanging off their chests, and overall the same silhouette, just with the addition of the helmet, proper backpack, and the one enlarged shoulder pad. I never noticed that before watching this video, I guess because I'd never gotten a good look at metal scouts before. Heck, the Incursors even have the same cyclops visors. So, thanks for showing me something I'd never noticed before!
I love the old one piece cast models. Looking at them makes them seem more stylized vs back then when it was just what you could get lol. I really want to pick up some old scouts now.
I love vintage pewter models like this and it's wonderful to see them given some attention, ive never been fond of the 'hero rock' approach to counteract scale creep though as it feels like it detracts too much from the models, especially older ones which are often more of a blank canvas with more simplistic detailing. Ive always gone with just making vintage armies with modern paint schemes to make the models deliver as much as they're capable of whilst also looking cohesive with models they are contemporary with. I've a vintage metal eldar army spanning from 1989 to 1998 that does well in that regard although some of the plastic kits still stand out as huge compared to the pewter pieces of that time.
Did you make some awesome Imperial Fists scouts? I dunno, ask Valrak. What I do know is that you made some awesome '90s X-Men scouts! Even got your own Cyclops!
Classic miniatures always tickle my fancy! Great vid!
I have these minis for a Space Marine army I painted like... 15 years ago? And I still love this vibe of minis. They are awesome.
Spess Mahrines only get stronger with age 💜✨
Making a space marine scout taller with a base is a bit of a bad idea for kill team especially where individual line of sight on models is key.
The Golden Age of Warhammer.
Holy crap! I have the one holding the sword above his head!
I remember using this exact model as a bounty hunter in a few old necromunda games back in the day :) pure nostalgia that warms the heart!
You've improved in painting so much over two years Love this video.
Metal scouts were my first units, nice to see them
They look amazing
Ayyyyyy Bloodletters glaze on white base for eyes gang!
One of my favorite aspects of the videos is the backstory/lore of the models and their use in past editions. I majorly appreciate the effort and work!
Yo! Love your work! Just one error to highlight is that those scouts came out in the late 90s, around 1998.
Painted up some of these as last month as Lamenters. Pretty sure the base tab said 1997 (still second edition)
Lamenter Scouts!!! Been planning to do that myself
Still got mine, I think they were the 3rd or 4th set of models I ever bought great to see someone doing them justice
They would have a nicer finish with a coat of matte varnish IMO but other than that they look great. The glowing eyes turned out awesome!
2nd ed. Still the best edition.
why do they look better than current edition scouts
The old scout scupt was pretty good i have some tin snipers myself and i love them way cooler than the plastic sniper bot only a few poses
Sculpting miniatures isn't easy, and faces are the most scrutinized part of all. I'm guessing experienced sculptures leave after a while and lines like scouts are what newblood get to practice face sculpts on (instead of say no-helmet characters).
@@afivey i dont mean the heads spezific the whole tin models look more detailed, the cape looks more realistik and the gear too. My biggest Problem with the plastic scouts is, that you can see that the parts are seperated
they are the best n most realistic sculpts they ever did
"Scouts, advance!"
Scouts are actually viable in K. Team, due to the very low point limit (125pts for most games)
Great video! Love your techniques! Point of correction on 3rd Ed Space Wolves Scouts, the thing was, they could infiltrate, deep strike OR come in on your opponent’s board edge. Until it was FAQed into oblivion, they move was x6 scouts (they could only take squads of up to 6) with two plasma pistols, and a Wolf Guard leader in Terminator Armor with a Cyclone Missile Launcher. They show up on your opponent’s edge and back shot tanks, or force units to turn around to deal with them.
Lovely video Casey!!!!... but seriously when are you gonna give me my red plaid shirt back, it's getting cold up here in Canada!!!!
Oh myyyyyy
As a shift lead at an Ice Rink in Toronto, standing outside for 7 hours today was not fun.
That's funny! LOL
😂 I don’t know if I can, you know, travel restrictions....also it’s comfy.
@@eBayMiniatureRescues LMAO fair enough!
Oh, I had all of these. Where are they?! God, I was such a dumb kid, couldn't appreciate the stuff I received as presents, and/or even I bought a lot of GW stuff with my own money, I started too early.
Over time I lost a lot of stuff, sold some, broke some....
Now I regret it that I didn't just put it in a box in the attic. I have three kids my own now. I needed to start all over again.
But BOY today's minis look awesome!
Don't knock scouts, I had a single scout sergeant hold out against Ork boyz, a Gorkanaut AND a Morkanaut for several turns, miraculously surviving to the end of the match, when my Deathwing Terminators didn't. That sergeant is getting promoted straight into the 1st Company.
Those eyes are wild! Idk how much I like it. The rest of the model looks fantastic! Weather I like it or not, keep up the good work!
Awesome! Looking forward to watching your Imperial Fists list build over time!
What a great job 👍 the yellow works beautifully 👏👏👏
The glowing eyes were unexpected, but they worked better than I thought they would! Keep up the good work!
These models look really cool! I also really like the lights in the background. Very cool!
Here's a helpful hit for doing iris/pupils, use a toothpick. The point on a toothpick is usually fine enough to get a nice little dot for the iris/pupil. I usually go with just black as it can be painful to try and put the pupil right on a colored iris.
Warhammer 40k logic: "Lets have a specialized stealth unit... Painted bright yellow and armed with a chainsaw!"
Those “glow in the dark” eyes are perfect for creeping up in the dark! 🤔
Let’s put them in the Elite slot
Awesome scouts man!
I swear there videos get better every week
Next up, we rescue a beholder and casey has to paint like 25 eyes in a single model!
Hahaha, I have one sitting on my shelf.....it’s missing an eye though.
I just read the Marneus Calgar comic and (probably a lot know that anyway, but I'm new-ish to the warhammer lore) it seems the size is even lore conform, cause scouts are usually neophytes before their implants are all done and before their training is finished, so they become scouts to kinda get some combat experience "Not fully astartes, but not a regular human anymore".
Of course there's also the whole Primaris size thing going on.
Lamenter's yellow is also on the top of my google search LOL.
Currently selling on Amazon for $100 a bottle. Sadly
I really like these guys. I am no master painter and this gives me a nice tutorial for yellow. I do think the oil wash on weapons and panels just went slightly slightly overboard though.
Wow, I had this exact set of Scouts about 20 years ago when I was a kid interested in the tabletop game. I actually liked them more than my Space Marines back then because I found them easier to paint and my painting skills were shitty 😆 never thought I'd see them again! Good stuff man.
I bought these exact figures when they came out ! Now I feel old ! Mine don't look half as good though as they never made it to my paint table, they're still waiting.. Thanks for another great video Casey, and for the paint tips!
You've done a great job on these! The glowy eyes aren't entirely my cup of style, personally, but I think it still works nicely, and all the other parts are top notch!
These came out awesome. The 90's mono pose pewters are something special now. Loved them.
4:17 talk about the derp squad wowza
Nice job; I recently finished my squad of pewter scouts I've owned for almost twenty years! I plan on using them for kill team.
They look great.
Mmm, old school scouts. These look great in the yellow. Just getting back into minis and one of the first things I added to my eBay watchlist were a couple of old infiltrators with sniper rifles because memories. And hopefully I'll be able to give then a paint job that does them justice.
I still have some of these in a box somewhere terribly painted as ultra smurfs
My trick for the eyes, just do pupils (pretty sure everyone is like that) how I do it though is I take a Gundam Marker light grey fine point tip pen and just press it once. Specifically the GM02 pen. It doesn't bleed, it's just the right size for the majority of eyes on most models, DnD or Warhammer. And I've used it for every model and it works well. I personally think the grey works better than the black but if you want to try the black let me know what you think. (black is GM01 pen)
Great colour scheme. Good advice from Uncle Atom, don’t paint eyes. If you look at someone standing far away, and you can see the whites of their eyes...then they must have freakishly big eyes! But your glowing radioactive eyes are cool.
Love this old scouts, they look great. I have my own only scouts kill team. Thanks for this great video Casey
I have those... 😬 I remember when I bought them...
I LOVE the yellow armour
From all the old Warhammer minis I've seen those look especially good. I rarely like the old sculpts, cause they often look goofy, cartoony or just low quality.
I mean if you put them and the current one next to each other, I would guess the new ones being the old ones, just from the look of the sculpt.
This was an amazing video, the fact that you painted imperial fists makes it even better
a good tool for doing eyes is a micron 0.05mm fine tip pen, really really small nib so you can dot eyes easily
Am I the only one who thinks they were painted like the classic x-men? Must be the guy with the visor who looks like cyclops, I guess :)
Great paintjob!
Back in the days I never played my Space Wolves Army without a Scout squad, showing up at the opponent´s table edge with meltaguns and a power fist ready for action :-D
I too like the glowing no eyes. I tried to paint real eyes once and ended up with Jeffrey.... the wood elf war dancer who looks like he fell out of one too many trees as a child
Yay, this is why I'm subscribed. That's a nice color scheme. Cold blue tones for the pants etc was a smart choice. Eyes turned out way better then expected
These are from 93 :O I remember playing with these in my blood angels army back in the early 2000's
I made a 3D printed pineapple for someone the other day. Did the same burnt umber with yellow over it using my airbrush. Pineapple Space Marines! I build tank models besides figures. I use that panel liner on every single tank I build. Glad to see some cross over usage. Ninjon used some of the enamel washes on his latest video I use all the time to weather tanks models. And every tank gets pigment powder on them for weathering.
Got to agree, I hated painting eyes. Only suggestion I could have given would be using a little less of the white dot on the eye but then I like the idea since the blood angel scouts, especially flesh tearers would have that red glow around there eyes 👍
Love it! This set (I was collecting Dark Angels space marines) was my second or third set of citadel miniatures, seeing this brought back some wonderful memories. 🙂
I have a number of these guys, was thinking of an Imperial force, they came with a variety of weapons to accommodate most categories.
Discovered this channel in the course of looking at the new Horus Heresy sets having been out of the hobby for over 15 years. You are almost single handedly inspiring me to go dig out all of my early 90s to around to around 5th edition collection. Thinking I should look at some sales and trades to get into building an HH Imperial Fist's Legion Army. Especially, all the books, catalogs, NIB pewter stuff and old unassembled kits.
This makes me laugh when I see videos like these!! Legit got so many of these scouts it isn’t funny
I would definitely spray a matte varnish over the top. Well painted but too shiny!
those are some 90's scouts so many pouches and grenades
I was lucky to get a complete set of shotgun scouts from the 90's for 27 bucks. Painted them with a grin the whole time through :)
Just a question to an old post. I have many old metal minis that I would like to overhaul. The question is will it decrease the value if you cut the tab off the feet? This question has put this project on hold for many years.
It's funny, just painted those same models myself last week. Really love them. And you're right, they seem like hobbits compared to the new Primaris.
I still have my metal scouts lol
me too plus one with heavy bolter
Same.
I only have the plastic ones :(
I have a few of those models, and a couple of the ones that came after this, with the sniper rifles
Hey dude, I just wanted to let you know that you inspired me to repaint all my old WH fantasy high and wood elves from the early 2000s. I had them in an alcohol bath for a few days and they came out pretty clean! Unfortunately some models are not in a good shape any more, so I will have to do some green stuff and kit bashing to make them work. Imrik's dragon was completely crushed, with only the metal bits in good shape... I think I will still use Imrik and put it on a horse and keep the dragon head and the other parts as spare parts for future projects.
How did you get on?
The various versions of eye painting is something that drives me crazy.
Unless I have to do it, on most minis, I tend to go with the closed eyes look, using an additional tiny bit of a wash as a last step after highlighting the face.
Glowing eyes is far easier than getting "realistic" eyes to look correct, and they can be done relatively easily with two shades of the same basic color with a darker one that you paint the eye with and then a bright one to dot the largest portion with (Except for a red glow...which is where a pink actually works well). I've largely used Reaper paints for it with most and a few others. Normally, you want a more pastel color for the dot. For example, Reapers Gore Red with their Breast Cancer Awareness Pink, and their forest green with rot grub green...not sure of the actual colors, for that one because it's a barely legible scrawl of a handwritten name over the label that I got as a promo color). With Blue, I'd gone with a royal blue and then a cold off-white craft paint.
While it may be cool for a short time, under no circumstances use the daylight clear glow paints. A friend of mine gave me some of those a long while ago (He works event decor for places and it was post halloween that year), and it starts out transparent, but the pigments eventually burn active and stain which creates a nasty eye look in the end.
