Oh man, what a throwback, I believe I have several of these sculpts still kicking around. Will dig them out soon, they are fantastic!, thanks for the video
That intro was hilarious 🤣 man, I would LOVE to see channels take these oldhammer armor paint schemes (rogue trader, badab war, other early edition armor camo patterns) to primaris models. Or even just old school color schemes like an ultramarine with that bright blue with yellow trim (not gold!) It's super hard to find even pics on Google image searches. Awesome video good sir
@@SnakeWorksStudio most of it. I was using them as my 10 man "Veteran" squad for 40k. The rest are in my Rogue trader "bins" I even have the old tech marine on a bike and land speeders.
I have Captain Newmar, Brother Reeves, Brother Hamilton, Brother Blake and Brother Napier, although I didn't remember their names till watching your video. Unfortunately Captain Newmar somehow got demoted to the sergeant of my devastator squad so now I feel bad... All painted as Ultramarines of course. I have a bunch of other metal ones from the same time period that aren't part of this group and now I'm fascinated to find out more about them. Thanks, great video!
@@SnakeWorksStudio I don't remember it being intentional, I don't think I even realised he is a captain. But I also don't remember winning many games back then , so I'm happy to blame him :)
@@SnakeWorksStudio it’s a new game from Joe McCullough, author of Frostgrave, miniatures agnostic sci fi game. ospreypublishing.com/stargrave Out shortly. But Ash over at GMG is doing a rogue trader Stargrave campaign based on Logan’s World if you want a look.
Jesus! The plastic ones were so much better. I had many of these pissed, monstrous creatures, and I remember holding them up to the light trying to figure out what the hell I was painting? A bionic nose? Or was it dropped on the factory floor?
Wow - this is an awesome blast from the past. I sadly gave away Brothers Hamilton, Craig and Reeves many years ago in a fit of "newer is better" idiocy. :P Thankfully, I hung onto Brother Harris and Captains Romero and Crabb!
I feel like that is one thing Bandai does right you might need to wait 6 years, but you can get a kit from the first gunpla gundam kits. They constantly make rotations through their whole line. That is a lot of models.
@@SnakeWorksStudio I think original plastic space marines are great for getting kids (or big kids, like me) into painting miniatures: they're quite simple compared to today's very detailed models. I would imagine that many of us, of a certain age, became hooked into Games Workshop thanks to those little beakies!

Oh please do! we would love to see them!
My era of playing, good times.
Did you stop playing?
@@SnakeWorksStudio when I discovered, girls, pubs and rock n roll! Well, pubs at least.
Man, these are so cool, really takes me back!
glad you enjoyed it! did you have any?
@@SnakeWorksStudio unfortunately not, when I first started it was with fantasy, and I got into 40k a little later 😁

Thanks my man! well when this new Mk6 kit come out I plan to paint a load in these retro schemes! it should be fun!
Thank you for this video! It helped me identify a number of Rogue Traders I just picked up at my local gaming store!
I have a handful of these RT Space Marines. And, I've always wanted Captain Dozier.
oh the crazy looking ones? which others do you like?
@@SnakeWorksStudio I like ALL of them! I collect RT Space Marines and I've some Space Orks too.
@@SnakeWorksStudio Marcel, I've sent you an email through your YT email address in regards to RT101 et al.
Still have all my Rogue Trader minis.. classic stuff
all painted?
@@SnakeWorksStudio most of it. I was using them as my 10 man "Veteran" squad for 40k. The rest are in my Rogue trader "bins" I even have the old tech marine on a bike and land speeders.
I also found i have all the Terminator marks. Ballhead, turtleback, and the early grill face.

for what reason was he demoted? he must have failed big time!

Anyone know why they got rid of the beaky space marines and introduced the more Star Wars looking Space Marines?
I think I read once they looked more aggressive but I might be misremembering.
New "Marks of armor" equal new models.which in tern makes better sales.
Love these guys - the best of beakies! I’m putting some together for Stargrave.
It’s proving a great way to find uses for my Rogue Trader collection.
what is this star grave thing?

Out shortly. But Ash over at GMG is doing a rogue trader Stargrave campaign based on Logan’s World if you want a look.
I wish I could share the pictures of my Rogue Trader marines. I am finally getting round to painting them after 30 years.
put them on youtube or instagram!
I honestly want them all. I'm greedy and love all the RT era sculpts. Even the bad ones.
I totally understand your desire! do you have any?
@@SnakeWorksStudio Only a couple, sadly. Mostly RT era eldar.
I do have Brother Meredith in my collection, I just found him and a bunch of other RT metal space marines unpainted as I reorganized my hobby room.
Jesus! The plastic ones were so much better. I had many of these pissed, monstrous creatures, and I remember holding them up to the light trying to figure out what the hell I was painting? A bionic nose? Or was it dropped on the factory floor?
I remember my cousin thinking a purity seal as a “Hammer” 😅
I want all of these so bad!
me too!
The backpack can’t be unpainted plastic - they were metal!
Oof! My mistake! I forgot about that!
Wow - this is an awesome blast from the past. I sadly gave away Brothers Hamilton, Craig and Reeves many years ago in a fit of "newer is better" idiocy. :P Thankfully, I hung onto Brother Harris and Captains Romero and Crabb!
you gave them away?
Got 7 of these sculpts (including Meredith!), painted up (badly) in my home brew Chapter.
lucky man! whats the chapter like?
@@SnakeWorksStudio a camo green chapter, can’t remember what I called them now! Was over 25 years ago! 🤔
All the packs would have been metal at the time
and they were so tiny!
I wonder why Games Workshop don't reissue the original plastic beakies? There must be enough feelings of nostalgia to warrant a new run!

not sure. it would sell very well I think.

Yep. Still got sum
What chapter did you paint them as?
@@SnakeWorksStudio back in the day I think blood angels, always struggled with red tho, too pink or too washy looking.🤔
CAPTAIN ROMERO RULES!!!!
