That’s a superb project and a very cool painting method. I’m just now basing my 2nd edition marines for a small escalation project, starting with the 2nd edition starter box and also painting them as griffons. But I hope I can do the base colors with yellow base and then Speedpaint red over the quarters. Excited to see how your project goes on.
Well cheers Alexander. I’ve just started some scouts so I’m hoping to crack through this quick quickly… that’s the plan but quarters can take it out of you lol. Please share pics of your progress love to see fellow Griffon commanders results ❤️👌
One thing I admire about older versions of Warhammer is the low model count for a "proper" army. You didn't need a huge quantity of models, which made it relatively achievable. This compared to later ones (even late Warhammer Fantasy, or 40K 7th ed), where the army sizes were comically, prohibitively high.
Fantastic video. I really enjoyed the stroll down memory lane at the start. Those Howling Griffons look superb, and it is going to be wonderful to see the end result of this project.
@Jonny Watson Gaming I tell my little lad all the time that they don't do things like they did in the 90s anymore! Who needs an xbox when there was pogs, football stickers & screwball scramble haha!
@Jonny Watson Gaming who could have guessed that small circles of cardboard could be so flipping fun! Haha! Great video mate. The howling Griffin's look awesome. Thank you for the nostalgic memories you brought back! Take care mate!
@@JonnyWatsonGaming It's a long term project for most people and a good goal to set over time. Personally I'm a batch painter so did 50 Despoilers/Assault White Scar Marines last week! 😇 Got Demi Company of White Scars on the table this week too. Averaging 50 Marines a week can be a good pace but not to everybody's standard.
@@stillunsure7630 Ahh yes airbrushes are very useful. I dont get on with them myself, I hate the faff with cleaning it etc. Even so your numbers are extremely impressive
Which bkue did you use? I don't think you ever said in the video. I'm also doing a 2nd Ed Howling griffons force due to this same photo of Fred's full company.
That’s amazing you gonna have a blast 💥 doing it. Here was my most recent vid on it if you haven’t found it yet. Warhammer 40,000, Howling Griffons Army Showcase th-cam.com/video/sxoN15poKZc/w-d-xo.html The video after that I did an interview with the great man himself Fred Reed you may enjoy. Regarding that Blue I used Magic blue by Vallejo. Join my discord and show off your work would love to see how you get on. 👍
Hey mate. No I didn’t I found some griffon designs for decals and made my own. Here’s the link if you are interested bolterandchainsword.com/files/file/13-howling-griffons-decal-sheets/
Cool! I remember getting that White Dwarf, second hand iirc.. A couple of months late? And brought it on a weekend to some nice little cottages.. Actually with the school´s student council which I somehow got into (no, not for the chicks!).. All I wanted to do was read that Battle Report.. And eat the good food, hehe...

As I myself painted a HUGE Howling Griffons army during the time of 8e, I can appreciate your dedication!
Cheers dude! It’s not an easy thing but am getting through them. Look out for more updates 👌👍
Number 179 was my first White Dwarf and I too spent countless hours staring at that picture on the back, and still do if I'm honest! Great work!
What a great WD 179 was. Yeah I still stare at that picture. It is the definition of 40k for me 👍
Good on you for going back to the good ol' days and realizing this army. Looking good!
Thanks mate. Yeah got full motivation for this project 👌

Can't wait to see what additions you add.
Ahh thanks mate. When you say it like that it seems like it’s gonna be a walk in the park 😂
Working on some Scouts as we speak 👌

@@stillunsure7630 Wow that is some going!!! Great work!
@@JonnyWatsonGaming
Just about to put wash on another 50 today and start the next 55! 😇
Quick and simply colour schemes and Airbrush helps.

Oh weird. Scrimble Scramble was called Snafu in America.
Haha no way!
