Having a box this bright and colorful with the words;
*"In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war."*
is such a powerful aesthetic I can't get over it.
Games Workshop's "Grim Darkness" in the early 90's basically meant colours bright enough to melt your cornea.
"These little dudes have waited 26 years for a paint job" really hit me.

"So I painted the base with Goblin Green, which was the style at the time."

I'm actually OK with incubi darkness being part of every paint set ;-) Glorious work Guy, you did this justice. Love those old colors.
I think I use incubi darkness on 75% of my models it’s one of my favorite paints
I use incubi darkness on all of my moddles especially becuae I play the dark eldar.
I want a remaster of hero quest...
This needs to be the top comment.
That would be amazing, loved Hero Quest. Should check out Alter Quest. Its releasing soon and is very reminiscent of Hero Quest in a lot of ways!

THe Chaos warrior has one black one red glove, because one is a "leather"-glove the other is a armoured glove in the same style as the breastplate.
I decided the same thing, but as a kid that would have held up the paint job for at least 6 months while I fretted over it.
@@digitaldeviltry OMS! Me too
Watching this has actually made me realise why I paint the way I do: using far smaller brushes then now recommended, and taking such slow “neat” strokes, an innate distrust of blending on my miniatures, and so on. I’m still painting the way the 90s taught me to. Thanks for the great nostalgia trip, and weird realisation.
Yup, same here.
Back when there where only two brush sizes. Detail and fine detail.
Dude 100% true lol
I dont know any other way
*Grandpa:* Then you'd base your model after painting it, as was the style at the time.

@@niklasroth5200 Old style Games Workshop would not have ignored it. You can guarantee they would have found those models and paints.
5:36 PLEASE keep us updated if anything happens to that bit of post please! Would love to see the outcome :)
Acrylic paints were such a revelation. You could thin them, mix them, try all kinds of experiments, discover all kinds of tricks. The hobby owes as much to the paint formulators as it does to the mini sculptors for what it has achieved today.
I'll never forget the smell of those paints. It was like.. I don't know how to describe it. Like a whiff of something that brings you back to your childhood.
What kind of paints were used before acrylics?
@@Tundra1919 Good Lord, those awful enamels! The little jars of Testor's paints, intended for model cars and such, were the ones I used. Difficult to use, lumpy, drying out easily - and ruining most brushes. If the paint didn't dry on them, that horrible smelly thinner would do a number on the bristles. I guess enamel paints today are better than the old ones, though.
I actually laughed when Guy sent the little thing to GW. It's so well edited
I can still remember sitting at the desk in room late one cool autumn night after getting this set. My very first introduction to the hobby. I’m 110% sure my models looked awful but I remember being so proud of them and enjoying painting them. Me and some friends got really into it after that and built armies over the next few years and one of their fathers even made us a game board with placeable terrain features! We’d spend hours on the weekend painting and listening to music and goofing off, not a care in the world.
I miss that, immensely.
"Don't be sad that it's over, be glad that it happened."
@@HeleentheArcane something to remember no matter the circumstances.
I really dig these retro mini unboxings/painting. In Russia, back in the nineties, we had a line of toy soldiers called Битвы Фэнтези (Fantasy Battles). The company who made them obviously got really inspired by (or stole ideas from) the early Warhammer, they even made space orcs with guns. These bulky old miniatures really take me back to my childhood, even thought I didn't know about Warhammer until about 2004.
I was thinking of doing an episode on Russian Warhammer-inspired stuff! There's a lot of really interesting models :)
@@MidwinterMinis That would be absolutely fantastic, Guy!
@@MidwinterMinis I would also be really interested in this.
@@MidwinterMinis - Didn't know this was a thing. Would make an interesting video for sure.
До сих пор ищу партнёра сыграть по Традиции :)
This really takes me back. This very set was my first step into painting minis with acrylics and not whatever god-awful enamels my dad and brother had leftover from scale models. The reason one of the Chaos warriors' hands is red in the paint guide is because it's a gauntlet and is red to match the rest of the armor.
Coat d'Arms IS Skull White. Both of those pots contain(ed) the same paint. Almost every paint from the generation of Citadel paints is still produced today, as well as many others, by HMG.
Ah yes... Skull White. I will never forget an epic typo in one of the GW Christmas catalogues, I'm going to say around 1999 or 2000.
Anyway, if you look at your keyboard, you will see that 'S' is pretty close to 'W'. Clearly someone at GW had a bit of a finger slip, because in that catalogue you could purchase 'SKULL SHITE SPRAY'...
Being about 14 at the time, we of course thought this was hilarious, and in some circles the name has stuck to this day. They can call it 'White Scar' or whatever else they want, but we know the truth...

Micro Sol and Micro Set
they help round decals conform to round surfaces. Try them, use them, love them.
Seconding! I’d consider them a mandatory piece of equipment for scale modelling, and I feel that also extends to miniature painting. My theory is that the only reason they don’t get more use is because game workshop doesn’t sell any form of decal solution.
Mr Mark softer and Mr Mark setter are also good if you can't find the others
You can also buy decal paper for ink jet printers. I'm using it for my made up Space Marine chapter. Very handy if you've lost decals along the way too.
Came here to mention this. Absolute must-haves for transfers on Marines' pauldrons or other curved surfaces.
Absolutely. I have no idea how they make money though - 1bottle of each is a lifetime supply. I’ve done probably 130 marines and would have used 1/10 or a bottle at most.
I wondered why I owned an old Chaos Warrior... now you've reminded me!
I've also have this exact chaos warrior! despite never owning chaos. I guess I got it from this pot.
*looks down and sees i'm wearing socks and shorts*
I feel personally attacked
that was such a weird comment. Is he saying he goes around wearing no socks with shoes, or that he never wears shoes with shorts?
He’s saying, quite rightly so, that if you are wearing shorts with socks you look like a fucking dickhead. Sorry to let you know.
I figure he means *long* socks and shorts but I still feel attacked!
Lol I wear long socks with shorts all the time guess I'm a dickhead.
If your wearing above the knee shorts and trainer socks - sure no problem, any other combination, especially the dreaded camo baggy shorts with pulled up white socks and sandals you should be ashamed.

just got back into painting after 20 years and seeing this box brings back so many memories. It's weird coming back to something after so long and suddenly finding myself frustrated with the same things I was when I was 12- painting eyes wrong and ruining the model after my 10th attempt to get it right.
around 1997 my uncle came to visit from France, I'm in Argentina and he moved to France a few month after I was born in 1985; so he came to visit and gave me one of this sets as a gift, my first ever contact with Warhammer and WH 40k.
I still have the brush and the chaos warrior around.
so much nostalgia...
Real talk: Investing in a vortex mixer for your paints, especially if you have the dropper bottles, will save your wrists and arms from a lot of pain.
Looks like a fun sextoy too. Double usage always means good investment ^^
@@DeBeuLioU it's too aggressive. Not that I've tried, you understand.
@@MidwinterMinis but what did penny say....
Midwinter Minis you need to praise slaneesh more. :D
Hmmm, I never had a paint which I couldn't mix up pretty easily if I had a steel ball in the bottle. Maybe my arms are just... strong enough 😅?
I still have 7 pots from this set, black, white and silver being the casualties. I still have 3 from one of the older sets as well, though one is probably dried up, I refuse to let it go.
I have Bestial Brown from the old set too, still good last time I checked. I also still have the three metal dwarfs I painted with it.
I had the entire first range, inks metallics and everything. Put em all in a box sold said box for 100usd. At a swap meet. Snakebite leather was the best brown ever. Contrast painting before its time.
I've still got (and use) most of mine, hated snakebite leather, but skull white, chaos black and silver died a long time ago
I have many of these paints, and they held up SO good after all these years. Still use Mithril Silver :D
It seems like the longer this year lasts the greater the overwhelming nostalgia wave becomes. Or is it just more RUclipsrs approaching 40? :D
So, I'm 6:55 in, paused to type this. Already, this is one of my favorite videos on this channel; every second has been fun, and I've been smiling the whole goddamn time. It might not sound like much, but I'm the guy who mashes the right arrow key the millisecond I get bored, and this time, the thought never crossed my mind.
This brings back memories of long rainy nights pouring over codex books and painting mini's, sitting by the desk light.
This video really took me back, I'm 43 and this pack was one I purchased along with many of the other paints and kits, I had many of these exact space marines and had fallen in love with dark angels, I used gallons if dark angels green lol. And yes covering white over your mistakes and slip ups was a must before cleaning back up again with red on your bolters or chainswords etc.... especially when using a darker green like I was... one slip painting those gauntlets and bam there goes your beutiful red boltgun lol great video and thanks for bringing back some great memories of this hobby in what I consider the "glory days" also 👍
Red or yellow bolter casings is a must. :) I still cringe when I see all silver weapons.
The exact paint set that got me into painting my 40K boxed game back when I was 10 or 11. Ah good times!
Man this box brought back so many memories. I remember that my best friend had bought the set, and had spent the weekend showing the models off. Mowed lawns, walked dogs, saved up enough for the box. Still remember running to my friends house with the box in my hands.
Aww bless, nice memories!
Oh my word, I remember using that set with my brother shaking his head as I slathered it on about an inch thick.
God I just love stuff like this so much. The old retro models, horned helmets for everyone, rarely even attempting to look realistic, and vibrant color. Things just had more heart.
5:17 we know damn well that was an excuse to show off your MWM envelope
7:40 The word you're looking for is a vortexer, we use a similar device in the lab.
... and the BEDROOM, AMIRITE?!
How long does if take a set to go from "I'll do it this weekend" to "unopened collectible?"
I would say about 20 years.
Fun fact: Coat d'arms are the company which originally produced the paints for GW and they are thrones who still sell paints with the exact same recipes.
Great video, love the nostalgia.
I am glad to hear we will get a Citadel paint bitchfest at some point. For real, it is necessary and I hope Games Workshop will take notice.
But also, fuck the screw lid black pots.
I can NEVER find Corax White or the pot of liquid green stuff that isn't dried out. Even on their official stores or hobby stores I can see them on the shelves all messed up. It's embarrassing stuff 30 years old can work better than what they're producing now
@@adriannaranjo4397 It#s the same with Averland Sunset for me. I've bought three pots over the last two years and while it works an absolute treat once you thin it down, the fact it comes in a huge clump to start with is not good.
I still have this gen of bottles with usable paint and washes, I have none of the black screw caps...
I really miss the old inks and coloured metallics like glistening green.
@@adriannaranjo4397 Some of my 30 year old paints are still good, none of my 15 year old paints are..
So when are we starting the auction for that pot of goblin green
Still have mine somewhere, best basing paint ever created! So long as you like pea green, that is.
Vallejo has a pretty good match in their Game Colour range with the same name 🙄
You have to love the Beastmaster-eque font of the label, with its SOLID GOLD!! colors. It's a whole slice of the late 80s/early 90's by itself.
Just saw this pop up again, shared on Facebook. I'm glad you got such a kick out of my old box and made such a great video. Thanks again for the shout-out.
nOT ThE bEst PAinTeR iN ThE wOrLD boi shut up you’re great
I know, he's always putting hislef down. He's one of the best out there imo.
"I don't know why one glove is black and one is red"
The red glove looks like a clamshell armoured glove rather than a fingered leather-y gloves, so, if they keep all the metal plate stuff the same colour the glove would be the same? Just a jab.
Im back!
Just have to say how much I LOVE these old chaos warriors! Simple but brilliant!
I had this one at my grandparents, and it's what first brought me to 40K, nice memories haha
As far as transfers go, micro Sol and set are a lifesaver, they make it so I can stand having transfers on rounded parts
As far as transfer go, I always choose to free hand, And I play Dark Angel, so I can garantee the winged sword is fun to say the least. But I believe (very little) unevenness sell the idea that a techmarine painted the symbol on the armor, rather than stick an huge plastic -shit- sheet
12:20
The marine is literally perfect, I think the extra steps (highlighting etc) actually take away from that oldschool feeling.
I disagree
There's something charming about brightly painted models that aren't highlighted and shaded to the nth degree. Modern painting looks great, but a field full of of these guys would make me smile.
These retro videos give me LIFE. Please keep doing them Guy. Thank you.
Good job there, Duncan would be proud of your, er, many thin coats.
This was amazing, also considering how rare being color blind is, a suprisng number of RUclipsrs I watch are color blind
It's apparently around 1 in 9 men, but a lot of people don't know they have it.
Huh interesting, when I took bio last year I reambered our teacher saying it was less common that that
@@MidwinterMinis - How is that possible? When I was going to private elementary school here in the USA back in the 1980's we had all kinds of vision and hearing tests done every year. For little kids/children it was a shape within a circle and for older kids/children who knew their numbers, well it was a number in a circle to test for color blindness.
I mean as far as I know people don't just go suddenly color blind! It's like my dyslexia, you're either born with it or not. You'll always have your whole life and deal with it and very hard to explain it to others "what it's like to have it?", because you have never not had it.
I mean now a days it is very easy for me to explain what it is like for me to have be dyslexic and yet it is told in a clinical way and only applies for me because it uses examples from when I was originally diagnosed with it. Examples that should how I would drop out letters from words, words from sentences and/or mix up the order of words in a sentence. But to me, when I was young I never even noticed that I was doing this most of the time. Now I know how to live with it and it is almost never an issue, but every now and then if I'm reading something too fast I may start laughing because I miss read it and know that I have because it just doesn't work right. Let's just say that reading and speaking uncommon names is something that I dread.
@@FleurXedas - Most of the time the instructor will be taking about general population (Males and Females) and it will be a lower number because far less females tend to have color blindness... if I'm remembering correctly. The world rates of men is 1 in 12 and of female is 1 in 200. However it could be that in the UK men are a 1 in 9, I'm not sure and only going off of partly what Guy said and assuming that his number was most likely a localized/regional number.
I got the other numbers of world wide from the "Colour Blind Awareness" site.
@@Winterydee I never had anything like that going to school in canada in the 2000s-mid 2010s
These remind me so much of the people that first got me into minis and pop. They had been playing since the early 80s and their game room was filled with minis with this distinctive coloring. Bright, primary, and astro turfed. Good memories.
So nostalgic....this was my first set back when i was 14, fell outta the hobby until my son got into it in 2022. Now loving painting again at 42 years of age.
I have a TON of those marines... I’m really tempted to paint them all up like that
"Guy's posting pr0nz again!"
I still have a bunch of old Humbrol enamels somewhere. They're probably considered some sort of chemical hazard these days. They were certainly a hazard to my poor unsuspecting Airfix, Grenadier and Citadel lead minis.
The GW acrylics paints (well, their round bottle predecessors) were a revelation.
I deliberately dried out the paint in all my old Humbrol tins and now use them as paint handles.
Yeah- 12 year old me did some amazingly horrible miniature paint jobs using Testors model enamel, but that is all I could find in my 1980s-era hobbyshop... I still have the minis, for the record! :-)
I wonder how enamel paints would work on finecast...
SonsOfLorgar I’m picturing Roger Rabbit type melting ^^
This stroll down memory lane is a nostalgia overload. Thank you for sharing I really enjoyed it, so many memories of trying to paint minis to the standard on the box, falling woefully short but loving every second of it as well. This was such a treat to 'relive' those moments, thank you.
Thank you so much for making this video. It brings me back so much nostalgia and joy reminiscing my 4th grade life. I still have my chaos warrior as a remembrance of where I have started and where I am now in painting.
'Memba when you paint Blood red on chaos Black undercoat... Oh I 'memba...
I started off with this set in 95, 25 years later I'm surprised GW didn't try and fleece us for water we needed to add to these paint to make them usable.
Wasn't that an April Fool's joke a couple of years back? Citadel branded War-ter, perfect for use with Citadel Paints.
@@harbl99 must have missed that one.
Why is GW being a company whos goal is to earn money such a painful concept for you?
@@nathaniliescu4597 not a problem that they want to earn money, infact I totally support them in doing such. What I disagree with is the techniques used in acquiring their wealth. At one point I was not allowed to paint my GW models in store with vellejo paints and subsequently not allowed to field my 40K army in store because they were not GW paint, customised GW with parts from another range - cant field that sorry its counts as now.
How about fine cast, superior profit with terrible products, many people I gamed with were refused refunds or exchanges for their models that had terrible molding or were completely missing parts.
Raising prices year on year when raw material prices of tin and lead were not volatile, halving the contents of box sets (guard and Korn SM) without changing the price because they knew people weren't allowed to play with other models.
The new box set that sold out due to scalpers, then the subsequent ordering system for made to order that will not be fulfilled with cancelled initial orders.
Yeah I'm justified in my original message.
i love these retro videos!! painting up old minis, giving them the much deserved love!! i adore this form of content, and wouldn't mind seeing more!
I love these videos of old sets and retro paint jobs that you do. I think it's my favourite thing that you put out. Still waiting for the rest of those 2nd edition starter set painting videos! :)
“What part of *midwinter* minis don’t you understand, Weather?” 😂🤣😂
I’ve bought many white paints from citadel and they were all like the skull white the day I got them!
Haha, white paint, the bane of literally ever model painter.
Yes! I was going to paint my death guard an off white but I went with beige instead!
I cannot get enough of your content. That was such a pleasure to watch. Your freehand turned out great too
This was fantastic! I was hit hard with the nostalgia the whole time! I remember getting that paint set when I first started out. Thank you for this video!
Use "DecalFix" when you apply decals over curvy or even edged parts. Looks crinkly in the beginning, but as it drys the decal will apply very smoothly over any surface.
Dr. Doppeldecker A coat of gloss varnish to prevent silvering followed by micro set and micro sol works a treat if you need to get decals to conform. Finish with Matt varnish will make them look painted on
Mate- that paint shaker. We use something similar in labs and the vibrations can cause long-term damage. Do a quick safety check.
The golden era of warhammer. I remember this set and the creature one before, showing my age 😩! The nostalgia ☺️
This channel has really done a lot to get me interested in Warhammer! I just wanted to thank you for making those battlereports that are easy to understand, and as well as all the great painting advice! I'm excited to start my first armies...
Goobertown eyeing you off “get off my content” . Squidmar asking “I will give you my first born for the snakebite leather”.
I really want to make a chess board with some models and make an almost diorama. These old fantasy models would be great.
Same here, wanted to do it back in the 90's with the Undead army but not having a job and instead having a short attention span that wasn't good for painting meant that I didn't even get past the planning stage.
Amazing! I had so many good feelings and memories of my youth seeing this. Absolutely loved this video.
Keep up the fantastic work.
thank you so much for this. i also bought the second edition when it came out years ago. would have been thrilled to been able to paint like this back then
I actualy do have those paints still. and they are still usable.
Science: you can’t smell videos
Midwinter Minis:
Your videos are so relaxing! The Bob Ross of mini painting! Love it
10:16 - The model is wearing a glove on its left hand and a metal gauntlet on the right; the gauntlet is painted red because it is a part of the armor.
As far as I know Coat D’arms IS the original citadel paint line
Ger yup, C D’A were the manufacturer that GW had make their paints. Until the cursed crystal pots came in to being.
Imagine if they kept the old paint and paint pots.
Couldnt have that because then the paints wouldnt dry in the pots to force you to buy more :P
Mobing from those flip tops to the screw tops was the start of GW becoming a company we have this "it's complicated" relationship with. =/
Cote d'arms are the closest we can get as that's the company who GW used back in the day
@@zid_just_zid I have several old round citadel paints which are still usable. I have had them for 30 years and got them second hand. None of the 20 year old paints are any good at all.
@@haleg68 Yeah i know, the crappy screw lid and black flip top ones were the worst, ive moved to vallejo and army painter droppers so i dont have much experience with the current gen flip tops.
All of the hex type pots show in the vid that i have are still good.
The round type were before my time.
Even when they are old paint and models u still make them look awesome great job
I love it when you do videos about old minis. It's a strong ole nostalgia hit!
I've been struggling with painting in this heat too, the paint just dries too quickly. What a nightmare!
I live in Australia and I need a wet pallet in the summer or the paint drys in literally 15 - 20 min
Dainald W yeah, I bet it's a bit hotter there. I've been using a wet palette but the paint is drying a bit too fast on the model. I've just been thinning it down more frequently.
I can see why you're colourblind now. Painting all those bright, neon colours for so long must have really damaged your eyes.
That’s not how it works...
Awesome video, makes me happy that after they sat in a box for 26 years they ended up with you and you gave them an awesome paint job. Love this retro series
Your videos are easy to watch and listen to. I love the work you are doing. Especially the retro stuff. Nice job painting freehand.
Damn they should have just named everything flashgitz
What this was back when people under the age of 40 were able to afford the hobby? :D
eBay dude, tons of cool and cheap stuff available :) I picked the hobby back up at the beginning of COVID, and I’ve spent way less on minis than I did 15 years ago when I first started.
Most money I spent yet is on a hobbyzone modular setup (because my cat... I need everything to be tidy) a nice display case (because my cat... you get the pattern ^^) and tons of paint (because empty holes on the hobbyzone paint module made my ocd cringe ^^)
I honestly feel like the hobby is cheaper now that we have internet and reselling is a lot easier :)
Second to eBay. I saw some new on sprue Orks and got really excited about the price ... before remembering how many I have todo already
Brings me right back! I used to have that set... Man! I can almost smell it just by seeing this. Thanks!
Such nostalgic overload! Thank you for taking your time and sharing this :D
This was a really cool video. I started painting fantasy minis around that time and this kit brought back some great memories.
Thanks so much for this, got me right in the childhood. Just took me back a few decades, remembered I've got a few of those Chaos Warriors there myself that might see a brush soon, thanks to this video. Rapidly becoming my favourite channel - keep it up
I love how you always make it personal and talk about your history with Warhammer and how it reminds you of other times in your life. Another brilliant video, thanks! :)
This has become my favorite youtube channel over the past couple of months, keep up the good work.
