Brilliant video! Loved seeing your army come back to life, and particularly liked your editing, filming and presentation style. Super chilled and professional. Subscribed! 🙌
Army of my dreams! I’m slowing making an averland force at the moment. Black and yellow go so well. Lovely painting dude and great army. Looking forward to next video
Thank you. And yes yellow and black are perfect. Wish you all the fun in the world building your empire army. You won't regret it. I'm having the time of my life seeing my yellow, puffy pantsed dudes duking it out on the battlefield.
amazing army, lovely painted. plus, I recognized your superglue and now know you are from Germany - the glue and the fitting activator is a game changer!
Static grass is not a sin! It's fuzzy and green, and gets everywhere. Yes, it may be the Goblin Green Base of the 2000s, but surely that makes it a classic in the making?
*heavy breathing* you just triggered so many wound points in my soul I cannot even put it into words :D. But I still stick with my green fuzzy static grass... Even have to buy a new blister. Those new bases are huge and eat it up like nothing. Something I never thought I'd say out loud.
Very good video! I am in the process of fixing up my 6th Ed Tomb Kings because I quit playing in the summer 2006 just before 7th Ed was released. Guess how "excited" I was early this year when I found out about all of the new units released in 2011 for Tomb Kings in 8th Ed and what current day GW prices for them are....
Well that was a rollercoaster of emotions to read. I still welcome you back in our beloved hobby. And yes, those "new" Tomb King models are neat. Love the sphinx.
I love my Empire, I got them out for old world last night and just got tabled by bretonians, the cannons and mortars now no longer punch hard and the steam tank just flunks…
Don't worry, the empire isn't as bad as people say (I think, at least if you play against "normal" lists). Take a look at Demigryphs, or Inner Circle knights. I won't leave the house without them. And you can get some nice synergies going with a Sigmar/Ulric Priest. I will go over some thought that I have on all the units in my collection in my upcoming Army Showcase video. But don't give up, the empire can win. And one just has to love those puffy pantsed little guys.
If I would create a new Army with different bases I would focus more on good looking "soil", using the same texture paste I used to make those tank tracks. I also would add more details to the soil with more stones or whatever the theme of the base would be. I then would use tufts (they are technically static grass, but MUCH easier to handle and they do not fall off until the end of time from a base and stick to LITERALLY anything :D this is my biggest issue with static grass) to make small patches of grass.
Unfortunately I sold most of my Empire ages ago, and the stuff I had left was in very poor condition. I gave it to a friend to bulk put his collection. And instead have started collecting Dwarves
mm new bases.. I see from your griffin that i'm more than one base size behind. The old tin model had a square base and not rectangle.. Maybe it's worth dusting of the old models..
Yes and no. So bases sizes changed for The Old World. Most bases changed here. But, that Gryphon is a newer version, introduced in the 8th ed. It's called "imperial" Gryphon and it's a beefed up Gryphon on steroids, hence the size. This one was on a chariot base and is now on an even bigger one. But you can still play a Gryphon as the Empire, it has smaller stats and still the 50x50 base. But it's definately worth dusting of the old models and trying out the Old World. I love it, having a blast in the past months.
Your Empire Army is very dark on a dark surface with a dark background. I think your effort in painting these deserves better attention to the presentation part as well.
This was a very relaxing and well made video. Glad you kept your Empire army!
Thank you. That's what I was aiming for.
Agreed, well done on the production.
What an incredible piece of art that army is.
@@Phangmaster Thank you so much!
Awesome relaxing and informative!! Keep up the good work mate
Oh that's very nice. This is exactly what I was going for. Thanks for watching mate!
This is so inspiring 🙏 When I get more time - I will look on your other videos. And thanks for sharing your knowledge and work. 👍
Thank you for watching. I wanted to share a little bit of hobby positivity and causing inspiration is the cherry on top.

Thank you for the kind words. I will keep it up!
@@arthyficial Look forward to it! :)
Your channel definitely has huge potential. I was surprised that
you just started. Good luck.
Thank you, comments like this really boost morale
Super cool vid !!
Gorgeous army !
Love the demononununononuno guy
@@plazma5343 Thank you 🤣. The demenonononolugyue guy has been proven quite effective on the battlefield too 😆
The magic of a good army display… lovely mate.
You explain everything very good thank you fella 👍.
@@ye_North_ Thank you. Happy to help

Just found your channel, thanks to youtube algorithm. Your video quality is outstanding. Looking forward to the next video.
Oh wow that's nice. Great to hear it doesn't go unnoticed. Welcome aboard.
amazing army, lovely painted.

You are not wrong. And that superglue is dirt cheap too!
Glory to the Empire! Forward, Mad Count watching us!
From the future, I think. But he's watching! What's time anyway in a fantasy world.
subbed, very cool video :) Quality is great as well
This was great, really enjoyed watching this.
Thank you so much, glad to have you here.

Beautiful work 💖💖
welcome back to the world of fantasy, friend :)
Thanks, it's been way too long!
Wow what a beautifl army.
We'll never have the old days back, but it's nice to dust off the old armies and take a trip back to happier times.
Beautiful.
Very enjoyable video!
Not being able to find your bits is something that happens to men of your age. You will learn to live with it.
Dude... feelings!

Das nenn ich mal ein Unboxing! 😎
10 Jahre "in the making". Hat viel zu lange gedauert :P
Skip 8:42 - 8:59. Thank me later. Where was the censor-bar here?!
I only censor harm done to miniatures, not to my own hands. That is a calculated risk.
I love my Empire, I got them out for old world last night and just got tabled by bretonians, the cannons and mortars now no longer punch hard and the steam tank just flunks…

Can I ask you. If you don’t like static grass on bases - if you were to make a new army - what would you do then?
If I would create a new Army with different bases I would focus more on good looking "soil", using the same texture paste I used to make those tank tracks. I also would add more details to the soil with more stones or whatever the theme of the base would be. I then would use tufts (they are technically static grass, but MUCH easier to handle and they do not fall off until the end of time from a base and stick to LITERALLY anything :D this is my biggest issue with static grass) to make small patches of grass.
@@arthyficial perhaps this is an idea for a couple of videos… Start a new army :)
gooo Chaos Warriors 😈

@@ay2deet578 I feel ya. Miss my Skaven that I sold. But starting a new army is exciting. Welcome back to the hobby
