- Опубликовано: 16 июн 2024
- What's up hobby friends! This week we take on an awesome older metal mini. Fabius Bile has a great look, and is one of those minis I've been looking forward to paint for quite some time. I finally found one that really needed help and it was a great price! I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did, this is an excellent model to pick up either in the original metal, or the newer plastic version, they are similar and very good!

One of my favorite characters. He's just pure evil mad scientist. His whole look just screams sci-fi Saw villain, and as a character his story is just twisted and unsettling. Great choice of character for this one
But he has such nice and gentle looking demeanor. Looks like he really cares for his patients.
Hes always reminded me of Dr Piranoid from Street sharks
I absolutely love the fact that you have been painting some of these similar to how the original owner was trying to get. Leaving some of the original owners love but making it your own too
A new base and this mini really holds its own against the new version. Nice job Casey.
Thanks! I don't know how I screwed up the base size on this one, I literally read it before doing it lol.
I love Fabulous Bill
The nastier the mini the more satisfying it is to watch you restore it. Another great video, keep it up.
Can confirm, I run some metal aspiring sorcerers in my Thousand Sons army and I love the old school Vs new school look of having both.
I’ve bought some old metal Devastators because I prefer the heavy weapons designs (shoulder mounted heavy bolter ftw!)
Thanks for the tutorial on painting glass containers.
I have a converted Emperor's Children Sorcerer based upon this figure. Back in the GW allowed ordering of specific bits for conversions. My model is inspired by Pinhead from Hellraiser. I may have to do a glow up version with the new model if GW ever gets around to updating the Emperor's Children faction.
Nice trsults. Imagine this guy working in a Grim Dark food truck.
Good ole fabulous Bill
Always nice to see a Fabulous Bill get some love
A couple coats of Magos Purple glazed onto those metals could have looked amazing! You could use it to separate the servoarms casings a bit from the resto of the metallics, tying them up a bit with the purple armor, and not have them look all like a solid block. Anyway I know the focus of this paintjob is the skin and glass, which all look pretty neat. Nice job as always, Casey. Get well soon!
Old models are amazing! I’ve tried to sprinkle in a few old metal models and the 2nd Ed plastic models because I just love the designs (and fits for my firstborn army) and wanted to make my first ever proper 40K army something special and meaningful to me
Definitely my favourite model is the 2nd Ed Devastators, especially with the shoulder mounted heavy bolters 😎
Nice video! This rescue went on to be a very neat mini.👍 Maybe your cold is a side effect from Faboo Billy experimenting on you? Probably should see the Mad Dok.👍
Casey: "Usually chaos models have lots of trims"
Me, painting a Helldrake: "I KNOW!"
lol for real on those things...I have one sitting and I don't know when I'll be able to bring myself to paint it.
@@eBayMiniatureRescues I'm not saying it's not a beauty... but it fights you at every step: between the overabundance of details and it stabbing you with every single pointy bit it have... let me give you a small advice: paint it in subassembly.
@@brotquel1592 oh for sure, a great looking model! Trim for days!!! Sub assemblies makes a lot of sense :)
It's amazing to see how far you've come since saving my Green Knight for the Bretonians!
I remember that episode. It would be cool to say one of the RUclips greats painted over one of your minis.
Man that’s still one of my favorite projects! And that black coach is still one of the coolest displays I’ve ever worked on!
It’s been a crazy couple of years for sure :)
I love the gloss varnish finish! I use that trick a lot as well. Nicely done!
i always make it a point to like and comment on this channel. your passion really brings pleasure to my daily life. love what you do man.
Thank you, that means a lot :)
I have a TON of metal models. Many of them are fantasy models, but some of then, like my patriarch on throne, is in metal. I love my metal minis and use them still with proper scaling
Fabulous Bill and his Forbidden Diet Mountain Dew :D Call Scott and Jon for their daily dose :D Great restoration!
Fabius Bile is such an dope Character!
That method for deliberately spattering to add texture it was brilliant. I'll have to remember that! Good stuff
It worked surprisingly well!
Awesome job! Just the model we needed as head into the spooky season that is also orktober!
Another great job - I loved the process of research that you went into as well, and your passion for metal minis. Awesome stuff :)
Fabulous Billy!!!
that is an awesome transformation. I still have this old metal mini and been meaning to update his paint job too. Casey ,I think what would be a cool follow up vid for this would be to get your hands on the personalized Bile body guard mini's they did for 3rd edition (technically you can't use them as their intended unit in current edition ,but you could just have him accompany them as his own squad)
I just looked them up, I had no idea they were a thing! They look super rad too. If I find them It would definitely make for a good follow up!
When I started most of all their was was metal . You really can’t beat them for there heft .
The heft of metal minis is definitely satisfying :)
Great job on a great miniature
7:37 maybe have a look at Rob Zombie's "House of 1000 Corpses".
Surely his "Dr. Satan" was inspired by Fabius Bile 🤔
Gj on trhe painting, it looks awesome. Also hope you get well soon.
Great video dude ,awesome paint job and must say its brill to see you're finger is now plaster free.
Thanks! things are lookin up on the finger wound front!
The 360 of bare metal was cool! It's been a lot time since I've seen a metal model so clean and smooth.
That’s why I like to use the dremel to biff it up, it makes them so shiny and brand new feeling!
Nice and early! Ive caught up on everything leading up to this. Pretty excited!
Looks great, and I can't remember that last time I tried painting vials like that. I'm gearing up to move, so my muse is suffering a bit right now and I'll have to take a break because painting has become just another chore at the moment. But once I get moved and settled, I'm hoping that the inspiration comes back.
Moving can take a lot out of you! I just moved not too long ago and it was tough to try and sit down and paint when there was everything else going on. Just take your time and get settled into your new place (congrats btw) and it will come back, the minis aren't going anywhere :)
i sometimes put blutack over the connection point on the back of models so I can keep it clean. When I am ready to stick on the backpack I can just peel it off
My friend gave me 5 OOP MetalGrey Knight Termies and I've fallen in love with metal models. Bought some OOP Metal Sisters last week but missed out a OOP Repentia Squad last night but I'm sure I'll find a good deal again.
Bruce Campbell was in "Escape from LA" which was the sequel to "Escape from New York".
While both are John Carpenter movies, New York was done during his prime. LA was one during his waning years.
I put a correction up on the screen when I said it, still, I always find myself mixing them up and correcting myself lol
Love these "ebay rescues" 👍
Loving the videos. I was trying to find what you use inside your cleaner. I assume there’s some sort of solution in there and not just water?
This model always reminds me of the bad guy in the og ghost busters
oooh yeah, he does have that Viggo the Carpathian face, real squishy and gross lol
@@eBayMiniatureRescues exactly lol
Ah, Not-So-Fabulous-Bill.
Because of scale creep I think the old Phoenix Lords make great Exarchs
Awesome model, great paint job. You ought to pick up Lucius the Eternal if you haven't already, he's disgustingly fun with the screaming skin stretched over his armour!
I'll be 100% looking for that model now, really cool mini!
@@eBayMiniatureRescues definitely one of my favourites, about as grim dark as it gets!
Fabulous Bile is more like it.
Your comments about newer plastic/older metal made me think about Fabius making similar comments about Primaris/Firstborn marines.
"Sure, these Primaris marines are a little tougher, quicker, what have you, but the traditional Firstborn geneseed still has its merits. You can be a bit more heavy-handed twisting it with unholy sciences and still get a good result, and anyone who's worked with them knows what I mean."
I saw someone using a slow cooker with dish soap to remove paint from metal hardware. I wonder if it would work on metal miniatures 🤔
I bet it would, albeit, slowly. Could be worth trying on a whole bunch of minis all at once though, just let them cook and come back the next day to clean minis. A trip to a thrift store might be in order!
Watching these videos makes me want to pull my botched LOTR minis and see if i can rescue them!
Fabulous!
I've got this guy on the shelf for YEARS waiting for inspiration to paint and sell... maybe I will... Still bandaided on that finger. Must have been really bad... - Hobbyhack
It's such a cool mini, definitely worth painting up, if even to sell! Yeah the bandaid is mostly to cover up the leftovers, it's still not 100%, but it's about a million times better than it was lol.
Man, all the RUclips folks must have been feeding off of my thought patterns with people putting out their "How I paint liquid in glass containers" content.
lol perfect timing
The bent needle is kind of annoying to see 😅 but the glass painting overview was nice
OG Fabius is very literally one of the best models of its time. Now find his 4 "Enhanced" mates and do them!
Keep on! Love your videos
I just learned that he has friends, I am on the hunt to find them!!!
I would switched his skin tone with the flesh on his cloak, that just makes more sense in my head xD
I love this mini btw.
if fabius bile is ever in a live action warhammer movie bruce campbell should definitely play him :p
or christopher lloyd.
Get well soon
much appreciated!
Genial video
Great video. My only gripe is the face. His skin cloak kind of looks more alive than he does.
My thinking was his coat was fresh, but he’s like super old and cloned and gross, but I see what you mean for sure!
Hey man, how often do you change the fluid in the ultra-sonic cleaner?
In an attempt to save even a little more money, I try not to change it until it starts to lose its potency. I'd say every couple of weeks, but realistically it would be better to change out the liquid after each batch of minis is stripped. It just works better when it's fresh!
I had an FOWW mini fall on carpet and the paint rip open all the way to bare plastic, so I ask if you want to perserve a mini for use in gaming what is your protective last coat?
It's usually a good idea to use a varnish over the top. Satin is usually best to keep most of the paint looking the same, though you may have to go back and touch up any metallic paint. I personally like matte varnish for the look and it helps protect the mini from small dings. I'm surprised that paint came off of a plastic mini from falling on the carpet though. That doesn't usually happen even without a varnish.
Thank you!!!@@eBayMiniatureRescues
The links for the sponsored stuff are not working correctly.
Fixed, thanks for letting me know!
@@eBayMiniatureRescues no problem. :)
Gamefound link is broken. FYI.
Great video. Thanks!
Fixed! Thanks for the heads up :)
@@eBayMiniatureRescues anytime!
I'm leaving a comment to help feed the algorithm.
Thanks :)
Unfortunately you mean Escape from LA rather than NY. What a disastrous movie 😂
Lol yeah, I completely mis spoke, I did put a giant LA logo over the screen when I said it though, I figured it would kind of make up for it.
@@eBayMiniatureRescues Ahh my bad, half watching you while painting some Terminators!
fyi the sponsor links dont seem to go anywhere
Fixed! Thanks for the heads up :)
What do you search for on eBay to find "rescue minis" on eBay
I want to give it a try but can't seem to find them
Since I mostly look for Warhammer minis of all kinds I usually go with the search term "Warhammer" and then filter the results by used, buy it now, lowest price first. Then you go to the sidebar and filter even more by, painted/assembled, partially painted/ assembled, and Damaged/missing pieces. That usually gets you the best single model and small squad results that are in this type of condition. Once you have the saved search that you like go ahead and save that search for later, that way it's only one click away every time. You can also set up notifications on that search to go directly to your email every day and show you the newest minis. That way you can jump on the good opportunities before anyone else!
Hope that helps :)
👍
Are older mini's even playable with the new codex's?
As long as they can count as something and are modeled as such. Fabius Bile should be in the newest codex, so any Fabius Bile model will do. There are some rules to follow though, like the base size should be the same or bigger, and the height for line of sight needs to be basically the same or worse for you as the player, otherwise, it's considered modeling for advantage. Shorter models can't be seen behind cover type of thing, so make it a little bigger to give your opponent the advantage, technically. The new FB is a little taller, so I put this one on some cork to make up for it. The rest is almost identical though.
A while back I painted up a Ghazghull Thrakka model from 2nd edition, a really small model compared to the new one, but I put him on a stack of cans, a proper-sized base and it's basically the same thing, just an older version.
Being able to make mini dioramas or just bulking up the base and terrain to fit with a smaller older model is definitely part of the fun of using them, and something you don't see every day on the table too!
Ok what’s up with the bandaid, you’re not the only guy I’ve seen with it. What am I missing?
lol I don’t know about anyone else but mine is from a bad cut, the healing has been long and I’ve been to the doctor for it, but I’ve been keeping a bandaid on for the camera, cause it’s still scabby and gross.
Emperor of Sand
One of the best!
To celebrate your illness, maybe paint some Death Guard.
I do have a good-sized pile of DG that needs attention.
i feel sorry for the previous owner of this mini watching this video, he must feel really insulted by the tittle XD
Lol naw, Fabius Bile as a character is the grossest Warhammer mini, although I can see how it comes across the other way too 😯
love you Kc!! please respond! itll make my day :)
Hope you have a good day :)
A tattoo here or there would be awesome.
"you're missing out on so many cool models" *ebay miniature resures's slideshow not related* Great bit
I can't agree with they thought of painters they just couldn't do it or reach especially since minis are usually done at at least 3 up scale not their actual scale. Like the same guys when given 3d sculpting go buck wild.
It doesn’t really seem like you finished it
ruclips.net/video/2jC-rRPKZ3U/видео.html
😂 I skipped forward and just saw the last bit and presumed it was OG paintjob,thought not bad,could do with repaint but not absolutely necessary, but it was your actual paint job. I think it's the tine to step up the game,ypur stuff doesn't look acceptable anymore for a 'rescue' cgannel
Honesty, I think you’re missing the point here, but besides that, not acceptable anymore for a “rescue” channel is a very confusing statement.
I get where you are coming from with colour variation in skin tones. But I think there is an error in your thinking. The picture of of the girl compared to the skin cloak is two different things. The girl represents a living person whose skin tone is impacted by the blood under her skin and the impact of emotions and environment on her face. The skin cloak has to have been cured so it is more like leather and there would not be the colour variation you see with the girl. Given that the cloak may be made up from multiple victims, the colouring may vary because of different skin colour but it is never going to look alive again. And the spotting that was on the plastic version can only have come from outside sources. There is no blood in the skin so spotting is not a thing.
Yeah that’s true, but the idea is that we are trying to sell the fact that the leather cloak is actually skin, so getting the eye to say, oh yeah, that’s skin, feels more important than not necessarily being exactly what it should be. I mean it’s all subjective, that’s just the way I was thinking about it while painting, but going the opposite and doing dried leather also makes perfect sense! From a biological standpoint you’re totally correct of course :)
Not much of rescue..
More an equal swap with different colors..
Lol, this is the most dickish comment I’ve gotten today. Thank you for the laugh!
Seeing the use of a high speed tool while wearing gloves...nope.
