- Together with two of my Favorite RUclipsrs @Miscast and @MidwinterMinis I went through 40 years of Warhammer miniatures to find the best figure from each decade. We had lots of fun hanging out, discussing our favorite warhammer 40k, warhammer fantasy and age of sigmar miniatures. Hope you have just as fun watching us!
Spoiler: We talk about miniatures like Rogue Trader Space Orks, Nurgle, Warhammer Giant (gargant) and the original plastic Space Marine to mention a few.

Nice
Is there a close date for the late pledges for your brushes? I really want to get them but I'm worried that its going to end before I get the money :'(
SO EXCITED FOR THE BRUSHES AND BUSTS AHHHHH
That Archaon comission was for my friend and it looks great up close ^^
I know I’m like half a year late, I just wanted to say hi
Thanks again Emil! What a blast
Dude it was so nice to just hang and talk minis ❤️
So wholesome!
Can’t believe I missed this episode
HELLO
HELLÖW
Hi
Hey how are ya
I think that is the most simpel liked comment sry when I write it wrong😅🇩🇪13
So cool the “ The Man With The Golden Voice”
Honestly guy's smile all the way through was just lovely, he is such a nice guy.
NO U
I see what you did there
Aww thanks guy, honestly you embarrass me!
@@samjones677 You're breathtaking!
With all the craziness going on at the moment, this is the kind of wholesome content I love seeing on YT, just 3 dudes nerding out about their favourite Warhammer models, reliving some nostalgia and cracking some jokes - thanks for the great video guys!
Thx for the love mate!
“It’s one of those that I kind of wish that I had but I’ll probably never get”
Well that was a lie
Or should we rather say foreshadowing ... ?
For the 80s, check out the 'Spaced-out Marines.'
Drunk marines, staggering and holding tankards... such a rare and brilliant example of GW making fun of their own poster boys.
Thats pretty cool and weird. Dont think they are the best but surely worth a honorary mention.
Squidmar “it’s the Thunderhawk from 1997” “it’s one of those things I don’t think I’ll ever have.” If only he knew...
literally just scrolled down when he said that lol
Watching this in 2022. little did he know it would sell for 25,000 gbp
7:41 "stopped playing with Metal, and started to play Metal" that took me by surprise
Check this out ruclips.net/video/-wWWzI3FIWc/видео.html
@@Strat0Patrick That is insane....I had no idea, I listened to Zonaria's Infamy and the Breed a ton.
Dude , they sound like hypocrisy lol they should of just stayed with it , kind of unreal , he is a great guitarist too , interesting!
@@KevinvL It's great stuff! Thanks for illuminating Kevin. Love painting, warhammer and metal music myself. Emil I'm a fan of the painting and the music! Metal and Metal.
90's pick: The original Eldrad Ulthran. One of the best Jes Goodwin sculpts ever (and he has a lot of good ones). A sculpt so good that when they updated it to plastic, they hardly changed a thing.
The Green Knight for me.
we have very similar tastes in youtubers
fuck I was about to comment that
Just what I was thinking
Cool video all, as far as the WarhammerQuest Wardancer... that was so inspired by the Hair bands of the 80's and 90's. I love it.
@@RinoGato haha great shout👍🏻
Archaon on horse, Is my favorite of all times. I never played Warhammer Fantasy, but I had to buy this one. Usually I painted models for all my friends, but this one I bought just for me, cause I really felt in love with it.
I really wished to see it in this video, and maybe I have to buy it again, even when I'm out of the hobby for a long time and sold all my miniatures a long time ago.
Agreed. This is the model that drew me back in and was used in a lot of the golden deamon compatitions. Based on the painting of Napoleon.
Hey there guys.
My favourite Model of all time is (and most likely will ever be) the green Knight.
Great pick
Okay, I'm gonna need to see that music video.
ruclips.net/video/-wWWzI3FIWc/видео.html here you go
I had an old damaged Warboss model from AOBR 10 years ago. I don't play Orks so I cut up the model and kitbashed it with an Iron Warriors Daemon Prince, it turned out really good.
No love for the Eldar Falcon? Such a good 90s sculpt!
If you've ever built a Falcon then you know why it's not anyone's favourite model. The casting has always warped, and the pieces often don't fit together properly.
@@schroecat1 I've built 5 falcon chassis, 2 were oop fireprisms. The old fire prisms were a nightmare. I didn't have much trouble with the plastics though.
I think that the light of eltharion deserves an honourable mention because it's such an intelligent sculpt, the way it uses negative space is just fantastic and the clever ways in which the limbs are attached to the torso using the cloak is just inspired design work
The best model for me, is from the early 2000s, from a more civilized game. The RIngwraith on the metal fellbeast, where it's tail forms the flying pose and the wings are swooped up.
Many of the LOTR mini's are WONDERFUL.
Black Reach was my entry point. Seeing this drive me right back, when I sit in dark cellars with friends playing, painting, building minitures and terrain. It was awesome!
Back then I already loved the Adeptus Mechanicus. However the army was released when my old group broke apart. Luckily I have new friends who play Warhammer 40k and after around 10 years I'm fully into the hobby again. And now with my beloved Ad Mech.
The new Mephiston is an awsome model, I just love the model and character, with the lore and everything. still have my old mephiston model from mid 90s when I got into the hobby
It's been a challenging week and I've been recovering each night by watching your painting videos. This one was just so fun, and gave me lots of smiles. Thanks for doing what you do and being you!
I really loved the plastic carnifex kit. For me, it kickstarted my love for magnets and the model was just so menacing at the time.
Would love another video like this! You and some pals talking about some of your personal favourite models from GW’s history. This kind of thing is always inspiring.
subscribed to miscast terrain immediately ! I knew yours and guy's for a long time already ! thanks for the cool vids emil !
Gotta see that metal video! Surprised how many people share the same path, got into the hobby in the 90s, out in 00-10s, and back somewhat recently, same for me - back after a 12 year break.
I have done Warhammer for a year now and I don't know that much minis but I love the new Ghazghkull model and will finaly got it to my 14Birth day in one month 😄
Sorry when I write something wrong
early 2000's Archaon is literally the quintessential Warhammer Fantasy mini in my head from that time
I still have one NIB that I just pulled out of my closet as well as 2004 Chaos Warriors NIB. I just got back into the hobby and am so happy I still have those from my earlier days of loving Warhammer
Surprised not to see The Light of Eltharion - that took my breath away when I first saw it.
Love the channel and the collaborations with Midwinter Minis, Miscast and Scott/Miniac. Keep up the great content!
Great video, always nice to see genuine hobbyists smile just talking about their favourite models. There are some real brilliant, humble and down to earth content creators in our hobby right now, long may it continue and thank you for sharing!
For the 2000's the blood bowl human thrower from the 5th edition is probably the apex of white metai miniature!
9:47 I have this exact issue of white dwarf in my drawer. The giant also blew my mind when I first saw it
I'm so glad you mentioned Archon on Dorghar. It's such a classic model and great for conversions - I've got a bretonnian conversion I've been working on with it. I've been trying to find another one of eBay but they're super expensive or janky recasts.
The Games Day 98 Nob is probably my fave GW minis ever.
For something recent i really like the Indomitus Chaplain, its a clear update on one of the half bionic headed chaplain from the mid nineties and it looks so good in its new version.
Yeah, the new Indomitus chaplain is great. Looks exactly like the updated version of the 90's chaplain, like you said.
Awesome video !! I stopped playing around 1999 and also started playing metal music. A few records later and tours - 3 sons that got me back into 40k!! Orks forever!
80's - Chaos Dreadnought, the one with the old crab claw.
90's - Avatar of Khaine, still holds up to this day, and who can forget the iconic black and white artwork with the dead space Marine?
00's - Dark Elf Corsair Champion with axe and severed head, looked just like Raziel from Soul Reaver, so an instant hit.
10's - kurnoth hunter with bow, absolutely gorgeous design.
Great video.
Hey thanks for picking my painted Ork dreadnought and crediting me !
Good choices lads !
Dude I LOVE the blog. Recently found it. The paint job is marvellous.
This seriously is one of my favorite warhammer videos ever, I have so much in commen in experience! Insane
The 2000's I'd say the best things that came out that I remember are the plastic Dread kit for space marines, and the plastic Land Raider. Both were a step up in detail and posability compared to anything else in the space marine lineup at the time, and the opening door and paintable interior on the land raider were amazing.
The WhatsApp group with these guys maniac and goober town must be epic!
That must just be so disgustingly wholesome...
@@kingjulian7045 why?
@@pianomanwithapianoplan504 sorry I wrote this at a point when I found goobertown to be the most boring warhammer youtuber on the planet and had some seriously irrational issues with the guy.
@@kingjulian7045 oh, no problem, I use to think he was a bit meh to, but I’ve watched a few of his videos and there good
I'm still in love with the daemonettes from the 90s and 2000s
The 80s were probably the most fun era for me with citadel miniatures, even though later during the 90s i would be producing injected moulds in a factory for GW, the 80s were just a bit more magical because i was a teen in that time, and the metal miniatures always felt like something special, the high impact polystyrene moulds for me, lacked the character and uniqueness that most metal minis had. I think my fav citadel mini in the 80s was Sir Loin Foul Breath the Minotaur, a massive axe in one hand, some talons for the other hand, hunched over and just so cool. Being bought up on early Sinbad films really got me into greek mythology at a young age, and when we discovered citadel, we all fell in love with the figures.
Just wanna write a little something down here, super glad i stumbled upon this channel. I miss warhammer so much, from the US so aside from ordering theres not many stores left at least where I live. I remember getting my first box of 40k for a birthday when i was a kid, was tyranid gaunts. Walked by a games workshop in a mall near me and insisted that i collected every bit they had in that store. Suffice to say it didnt happen but it started something crazy, must've built 3 or 4 armies, even got warhammer units just to build and paint, was super young then so the employees at the store said warhammer mightve been too complicated to start with so they pushed me towards 40k. Anyways think my mom bought me the box about a month before my birthday actually was but i found the spot they were hid and no joke I sneaked a look at the box every single day leading up to my birthday lol. Sadly that store closed a year or 2 after that to my dismay, was hard pressed to find another spot that sold em at least to the same extent. I did managed to find another small hobby shop that had a select bit of some of the armies but they overpriced em even more. Then that placed moved and as the years went on they flexed out more and more of the warhammer for other more popular stuff. I still have a bunch buried away, this channel might be the inspiration i need to bust em out and pick it up again. And I'm sry lol, maybe i was a little late to the warhammer party but I always thought the older models looked hideous haha. Anyways just thought to leave a little note, found the channel last night, loving the vids I've spam watched and your painting skill is absolutely insane.
My most vivid memory is a bunch of christmas themed snotlings, pumpkins converted to snowballs and so on. This was in 1989-90 or so.
The "Assault on Black Reach" Set brought me into Warhammer Tabletop as well. The Deffcoptas in this Set are so well made and unique. Ive bought the set 4 times (3 times for less then 20€ in a random toy store)
Nice overview with some sweet memories. My personal taste finds it tough to find anything pleasing from the "middle ages" of GW models from late 90's through early 2000's. However it's great to look back and find the little nuggets of good work amongst the range :)
For me that mono-pose Space Marine is so iconic because not only was it the first model i ever owned but because of the giant stone statue of it outside Warhammer World in Nottingham UK. That is Warhammer for me
I'm a huge fan of the elf prince on griffin from island of blood. I was working at a flgs and I remember it being the first of the new age of sculpting at GW. I'm actively looking for one and they are all ~60$
This was fun. I do think the Defiler deserves an honourable mention, it’s not the greatest model they’ve Made, but all the articulation points and extra bits have made for some really cool conversions and display poses. That first box came with so much stuff, I’m just now, nearly twenty years after I bought my Deffy, using the last of the spikes and demon faces and other chaosy bits with the chaos starter box I picked up last week.
80s Kaleb Daark
90s The Green Knight. Honourable Mention Talisman Dark Elf Sorceress. Iconic as all hell. And made of plastic.
2000s Juan Diaz Daemonettes!!! Seriously none of you mentioned these??!!
2010s Plastic Witch Elves! I mean come on. They're Witch Elves in plastic and I still can't believe they're 7 years old - they look just as good as any other sculpt to this day. These models have a special place in my heart they got me back into the hobby in the 2010s. And their predecessors were the ones that got me into Warhammer in the first place in the early 2000s!
2020s so far... The Indomitus Assault Marines - Primaris with bolter and chainsword - 'nuff said
"I asked two of my favorite youtubers to figure out which is the best model from each century"
I knew as a new player I'd have a lot of history to catch up on, but I didn't realize I was That far behind 😋
Great video and I love the minis chosen. (And there are so many to choose from.)
Those early 40k dreadnoughts were certainly impactful. While I adore the ork dread and the goblin pilot nailed into it, they are edged out by the eldar dreadnoughts. My first glimpse of those spindly alien lines and the blank carapaces looming in the breach of the castle wall in WD 100 and I was infatuated and adamant that these were the best things ever. Three decades and I still love them to bits.
The way that Ork Warboss brought y'all back, it was the Harlequin Shadowseer that brought me in when I saw it at a friend's house.
that 1 second of metal Emil stole the whole video loool
Oh man seeing Guy bring up Assault on Black Reach really hit me man. That was my introduction to the hobby. At the end of my 4th grade year my mom bought my brother and I that box set and a Tyranid Battle Force for my older brother and I before she went on deployment to Kuwait. My brother and I spent all summer painting models and playing 40k. I played Marines and he played Nids and I would lose almost every game we played but we had such a blast
I'm really new to warhammer. The new goblins are what first caught my interest a few weeks ago. Best goblins I've ever seen, so i was happy they were mentioned.
bittersweet to see the 40k scale thunderhawk to get an honourable mention... the epic scale version is, for me, the coolest mini that gw ever put out (i have a soft spot for the epic scale dreadnoughts, too... maybe because epic 40k space marines were the first army i ever collected, but still, there's something about those sculpts that sets them apart from their larger brethren)
I'm really new to the hobby, so I don't really know how old or new something is, but easily my favorite GW release I've gotten to work with is the Putrid Blightkings box for Age of Sigmar Nurgle armies. Everything goes together well, and there are so many cool options included in the box.
I lived 40 miles from the original Citadel miniatures factory in Newark in the 80’s. You could turn up at the factory and they would let you pick any figures and models from there storage bins and then charge you by the weight of the metal. I found some fantastic figures that were never released to the public. I wish I had kept them.
Black reach changed so many 90's kids lives. I remember hustling the crap out of my parents just for mcragge. Then a few months later they dropped black reach and maaaaaannnnn. The awe the beauty of those orks man. The sheer hype running through you and your mates suddenly unstoppable 30 marine 60 ork forces from splitting it. Ahhhhhhhh the times.
Guy always looks like an excited little kid. He’s a swell little fella
Love seeing old models painted by you guys. Makes me thing there is hope for me yet.
Just tryna think how to insert "I love big mechs...and I cannot lie" into everyday conversation.
I think one of my recent favourites was the Imperial Knight kit. It picked a model so obscure I barely remember it, never mind owning it and brought it kicking and screaming into modern times. It looks both noble and brutal thanks to the massive chainsword and it's been the canvas for some incredible paintjobs and some mindblowing conversions. It's become popular enough to spawn an entire army with it's own chaos spin-off.
I just cannot pass by the old model of the demon prince of nurgle. Even though it was released several decades ago, it still looks so detailed that I am amazed. But most importantly, it contains the spirit of that very old chaos. All those round brass arrows on the armor, floating parts look so ... classic. Forever in my heart.
Just watched you paint the thunder hawk that you never thought you'd have, keep it up man !
For the '80s: The Gob Lobber. It's technically more than one model, though. It's the first mini I'd ever seen, it tells a great little story, and you got a little goblin all netted up and ready to be flung at the enemy!
In the '90s: The Avatar of Khaine. This model was a great update to the original and showed how truly immense he is compared to your average Eldar. The pose is dynamic and it was so fun to paint.
For 2000-2009: I'd have to say the Lord of the Rings Balrog.
2010-2019: Roboute Guilliman. The Daemon Primarchs are great, but somehow seeing a Loyalist Primarch was reinvigorating to me as both a painter and a player.
2020: The Triumph of St. Katherine. Like the Gob Lobber it's not really one model, but come on. It's brilliant.
The green knight makes my list no matter what. The standout mini from a range thats come to represent a time before gw went to the gutter. Having painted it the mini is gorgeous from every angle and allows for creativity that modern minis dont
Pretty surprised The Emperors Champion didnt get mentioned. Its one of my favourite sculpts and its super iconic. Great vid regardles :D
Man. I can listen to this three for hours. They should do a podcast about... Well... Whatever!
MY favourite model is that chaos lord from that starterbox where they pitted Dark Angels against Chaos Marines
2:27 Imperial inquisitor and terminator in warhammer, now THAT'S the crossover of the century😂😂😂😂
No love for the Mortis Engine?! That sculpt is amazing.
If I had to choose a kit, the original Fellowship of the Ring box that was sculpted by the Perry Brothers is just so hard to beat from a detail perspective, especially Aragorn and Frodo.
The big models in age of sigmar are legit all stunning !!!
My first fantasy army was wood elves, i painted one of the wardancers when I was really young. Didn't come out well but it was fun
I love him mentioning the thunder hawk in this.
I'll just throw in my comment of the best WH40K model (because it started me on my journey): The pewter Space Wolves Iron Priest I got in '93 while in England, originally packaged in the old blue card board bubble. Still love it to this day.
Here is my list:
80s - Saturnine Terminator
90s- The Green Knight
00s- Watch Captain Artemis (54mm)
10s- Sister Superior Amalia Novena
20s- The new Zoat
Amalia Novena was so epic when it came out!
Some great choices there! I totally agree about Archaon, he is still one of my favourite models and exemplified the new look for Chaos. Beefy, menacing and barbaric.
I overall like the lumineth, but they need the horns removed, and the giants need their heads replaced with something like scibor's Basing Kit #2.
I don't know about my favorite from each decade, but I love drazhar!
2 wood elf collectors and no Waywatchers of any era mentioned? Those are my all time faves, all of them.
WIsh someone did a series on every models history and re-sculpts and old sculpts.
Watching this video makes me think about my army of Valhallan Ice Warriors. Im realtivly new to the hobby, comeing up on my 2nd year in and I've already amassed a large collection because of how much I Enjoy it, but in my early days when I bought my first box of Tau my friends were telling me about the Imperial Guard and showing me what they looked like in the Killteam rulebook. I Was interested and started to look into the Imperial Guard when I found a video about the Valhallan Ice Warriors and I was hooked. I Dashed over to google to see if these madmen had any models and I was sad when I found out that they were no longer in print. I could find small groups of them on ebay, but nowhere near enough to make a whole army. So for a while I had been planning out how could I convert myself an army of Ice warriors through kit-bashing Bolt Action and guard kits. But then in Febuary they announced that for a limited time they would put the Valhallans back up on the market and It was like Christmas come early. I snatched up the platoon and I've worked hard to make these models the best in my collection, my first fully painted army, and by far the most striking. The Models in my opinion are just simply my favorite models in all of wargaming, there is just so much character in each of the sculpts that really just set the scene of the Relentless, unending Ice Warriors who will stop at nothing to achieve victory as well as they keep a soft spot in my heart as these old metal models from a faraway time, discontinued, but standing still and holding up rather well to even some newer models.
So pleased all this time later that Squidmar got his Thunderhawk!
Yes another, video!
Just wanna say i love your work and you inspired me to paint mini's.
Right lads, this video was superb. You three need to start doing some more content together or a podcast or something because I think you're really onto something here.
Whoa, what was the metal band you were in? I never knew you did music lol
It was prolly a Bolt Thrower tribute band.
@King Juggalo as in was in a band, not just listened to music
Look up Zonaria - Silent Holocaust to see his band
Great video, thanks for amazing content.
Were already one of my favourite youtubers and now found out about your music. Mind blown
Great video, from a group of awesome guys. Thanks. I love my old metal Warboss, there is just something about his ‘so’ angry face 😃 WAAAAAAAAGH!
Leaving the topic of the video aside, these guys have amazing hair.
lmao! paused it on your Playing metal little snippit… that's hilariously awesome! I had no idea
I really enjoyed this video. Looks like you guys had a blast
Yeah, the Gargant really holds up great. There's a lot of minis where you can tell they are older ones, but that one has so many great details and you can mix and match so much, plus the great conversion possibilities. I'm praying to the mini-gods that the Sons of Behemat will be affordable for me, cause they still even look pretty similar (except even more detailed and changeable)
I started with 40K in 1990 with the original box of plastic space marines. I am a fan of beakies.
Dynamic! Iconic! So Cool! And then there’s the CowMountainGiantThing.
The Pink Horror sculpts from the late 80's were made by Kev Adams and he took photos with a instant polaroid camera of the studio staff but told everyone to pull faces when he took the photos. I was one of the people working in the painting studio at the time and it was bizarre seeing the photos used for the sculpts. All the best, Darren Matthews
That's such a cool story, thanks for sharing :D
I would watch a 10 hour video of this. Just do your favorite from each army in each decade lol. Great job
