Louise, you crushed it as an Rogue Hobbies first video !
It's the complete package: fun and quirky, lore packed, and an inspiring painting tutorial to boot !
Can't wait for the next one
maybe the rainbow worriers are one of the 2 chapters that was removed from the group of other chapters
I just got to the part where you said what I just said
Bruh
except the fact that sound and image are not synced.
she's not going to bang you bro
First video?? Holy shit, I would have never thought that and had to have a look at the channel, but you're right. Respect!
The reason the Sister of Battle is shooting the warrior is because it is an allegory to the sinking of the Rainbow Warrior. The Sister has a Fleur de Lis, a traditional French Symbol, but she also has a goat's head as a pauldron insignia, as a reference to operation Satanique.
I never thought of it that way but it's obvious now that you've pointed it out!!
🤯🤯🤯
RT was released two years after the sinking. Checks out.
That makes a lot of sense
Holy bananas
My favorite kind of 40k lore. 2% obscure esoteric lore, and 98% wild speculation. I love it
i am replying to this to promote it in the comment algorthim
Hiya Louise! Really old person here, wanted to point out a reference you missed to the our lovely Aztec themed space bois. In the 6th edition codex (came out in 2012) that the Rainbow Warriors, Relictors, and Fire Lords Chapters all went out and fought a massive daemonic incursion in 748.M41 ... the costly battle saw all three Chapters lose their respective Chapter Masters before the daemons were driven back. So, they're still kicking around a few hundred years before the modern lore ...
I love seeing someone so young bringing back the lore from when 40K was fun and took itself less seriously.
I have always liked the Rainbow Warrirors! For Pacfic Islanders, the rainbow is seen as a good omen. Warriors would often ride/sail into battle with the rainbow in the sky behind them. Thus "Rainbow Warriors"! So I have always thought of them as Islanders! Great video!
I love that! That's a great nod to consider for this chapter. Thanks for mentioning it!
That crystalline power sword looks incredible. Thank you so much for showing how you painted it!
Absolutely love the callbacks to Rogue Trader in the painting details; anyone who keeps the early history of this game alive in their hobby is a real treasure.
I started in 2nd edition, and still have the 1st Grey Knights that came out in the white dwarf in like 92 or so .
Very excited to see Sugs branch out on her own. She's going to smash it!
ok - couple of things:
1) I now want to create a Rainbow Warrior chaos marine - specifically so i can have a *Painbow* Warrior!
2) in all future videos, i hope to see ArmKnee become standard language, replacing elbow in it's entirety
3) You look like you're having fun. Happy new career! :)
The symbols remind me of the 42nd & 45th Infantry Divisions from WW2 They were known respectively as the Rainbow Division and Thunderbirds with matching badges (a half arc rainbow and a thunderbird).
Everyone who's been into 40k since the late 80s knows about the rainbow warriors. Shout out to Bolt Thrower for getting me into warhammer with realm of chaos slaves to darkness.
Bolt Thrower is one of the best metal band ever!
Interesting Fact. Sugs got my 7 year old into Warhammer with me. He saw an Ork video of hers and it just clicked with him. Now he loves his Orks and paints then with me while I do my Warhammer stuff. It has become a thing where we will put on various things Sugs has done while we hobby together.
I love to hear this more than anything :')
Wholesome comment is wholesome.
WAAAGH!!!
Same! My 4yr old thinks of Ms. Louise as his Bob Ross.
I'd like to share my own thoughts on the Rainbow Warriors, which comes mainly from near my entry into the 40k hobby in 1993. Back then i too was intrested in the cool colour scheme that i'd seen in the rogue trader book and was eagerly awaiting news of them in the soon to be released Second Edition (sadly nothing ever came), but the general thoughts from the players and the staff at my local GW store was that like most of the other chapters, the RW were inspired on an ancient earth culture, in this case The Aztecs (for the reasons Lousie stated in her video). It was theorised by many that the reason there was artwork showing a space nun (sister of battle not existing yet in name) was a reference to Cortez and christianity assaulting the south american natives. Basicly, the RW were relaxing on Prism, happily human sacrificing people to the Emperor, when the Ecclesiarchy came down on them like a tonne of bricks (presumably whiping them out as they were not featured in later media).
If your talking about the sister sin killing a rainbow warrior space marine two page spread, then it explains what sisters of Battle are and how their function
Armkneez,sweet
Solid hypothesis and one that makes me want to see more chapters with a basis in ancient culture/mythology. For starters, the Quetzalcoatls...
Good riddance.
Armknee is now my favourite name for the body part formerly known as elbow. 😂 Great to see you striking out on here and taking the leap. Can’t wait to watch your channel grow and evolve.
As an Old Guy myself (I had a copy of WH40K Rogue Trader in my youth though I never figured out how to play), I'm a big fan of the Oldhammer mindset so naturally I'm drawn toward anyone making their own lore. But I also appreciate the dopamine ping one feels in their brain when you're able to use the existing details in official lore to work out a consistent history for a more obscure chapter. So I enjoyed your lore exploration and explanation easily as much as your amazing painting skills and decisions! The old school details like the checkered bands and the hand-made slogans! The battle damage! It's so much fun to watch you paint them and see how well they turn out. (As for the white skull aquila on the chestplate, I would guess it's to symbolize the white light which gets refracted by prisms into the rainbow bands on the head and legs.) I'm really looking forward to more of your videos!
NGL, I've never had a chance to watch Louise's stuff before, but between the praise I've heard from so many others and that fantastic teaser video yesterday, I'm already super excited to see what she ends up doing with this channel.
"I just really like goblin green bases and honestly, my seratonin is my top priority right now" is such a fucking MOOD.
I first was introduced to 40K via that old Rogue Trader rulebook. I *poured* over the art in that book trying to decide what color scheme I wanted for my marines. I kept falling upon the Rainbow Warriors but constantly scared myself away because I didn't think I could paint a tiny rainbow, much less dozens of them. You absolutely make it look easy and best of all, totally stellar! I'm excited to see where you go from here!!
Seeing 'Trolls In The Pantry' and 'Oi! Dats My Leg' on the shelf just gave a 30 year flashback, wow! Loved those games.
If I didn't know anything about this channel I would never guess this was a first video! Really strong start! Best of luck Sugs!
"I kinda expected this to be [something] but it sort of turned into something different" I think this will be basically this channel manifesto
I feel like this is more of Miscast's moto. The man litteraly says creating is about transforming building problems into ideas
It works for the entire Imperium of Man also 😂
1. Please paint a whole army of Rainbow warriors.
2. When you paint a Rainbow Terminator please paint his power fist with rainbow stripes.
This is the best use of Ghaal I've seen in a long time.
I love when you tubers get a little rambling in their videos cuz it feels like we actually see a part of the person making the video and it feels so authentic and I love it. Amazing first video, can't wait for many more!
As an oldie who started with Rogue Trader and have always wondered what might have happened to those fancy Rainbow Lads, I'm completely on board with this. Great work, Louise!
Also: Space Wolves will always be grey (at least in my heart).
I spy Trolls in the Pantry and Oi! That's My Leg! on that shelf! Amazing!
BUT do you have the tapes???
i mean, their grey in the heresy. so that's something.
There was a picture of a space marine painted all white with black joints in Rogue Trader, but I can’t recall there being a chapter name listed.
That was the one that inspired me.
My favourite Warhammer channel by a mile! Your enthusiasm is so contagious that your videos make me smile all the time. I saw your Sphiranx at Warhammer World without knowing you yet and it stood out as my favourite model of the whole building. Please keep this channel growing! You’re great!!
Great content. To add to your lore I remember hearing an audio book of a bunch of deathwatch marines chatting to each other and one asking another about his og chapter and he refused to comment on the subject and the space wolf laughs and mentions rainbow warriors then a dark angel walks in and he starts taking the piss out of him saying that they chase each other round their ship naked and whipping each other with towels or something it was a strange chapter.
Skulls for the algorythm, blood for the algorythm!
lore + painting + amazingness = winning
Triple threat but no idea
@@roguehobbieslove your shirt
@@snoox27 beat me to it! ...I wonder if it's 'offend my eyes' material? (also hi Capt, causing mischief here too I see)
@@superready I never cause mischief, unless its wanted 😉We will have to wait and see if Louise welcomes mischief and what sort!
The Rainbow Warriors' symbol was also featured in the command center room in Space Crusade, which was my first clue that other chapters existed besides the Ultramarines, Blood Angels and Imperial Fists. For 10 year old me - back in 1990 - that was a big revelation! 🤩
BTW, Lou, your Mindstealer conversion is bloody brilliant. 😎
I love the way you've done that sword! It looks incredible.
As for lore, maybe the Rainbow Warriors were set up? Just because that one Rogue Trader image has one getting shot by a Sister of Battle, does she have to be working towards the Imperium's best interests? She is called Sister Sin, after all. Maybe she's working with the Runious Powers on a plot to remove an inconvenient loyalist chapter?
Or maybe the Rainbow Warriors followed in the example of one of the things which inspired them, Greenpeace, and turned against the Imperium for ideological, but non-Chaos related, reasons?
Idk, I just really like imagining people in the Grimderp 40k universe doing things that are very much not ̶c̶a̶s̶h̶ ̶m̶o̶n̶e̶y̶ Imperium approved, but which fall outside the usual reasons people get chased out of the Imperium with boltgun rounds (xenos-fraternising, mutant-tolerating, wytch-harbouring); things like being radically socialist, or just refusing to lick the boots of an obviously corrupt and ineffectual fascist state.
Wow this is your first proper video?! What an amazing start to your channel! Feels like you've been doing this for years. I cannot wait for more.
This is so fun and engaging. The editing is absolutely immaculate! I can't wait to see more
Thank you so much!!
Editing is god tier
Any Rogue Trader related content is very much welcome and your dedication to the pursuit of any lore or mention of the chapter and their world is great.
I also have to mention the fact your shelf contains the games Trolls in the Pantry and Oi! Dats my leg! Is outstanding. I'd forgotten thry even existed!
Hi, nice video, thanks. The rainbow is an important symbol in Hawaiian folklore. In fact the university of Hawaii sports teams are called the rainbow warriors. Legend has it that Hawaiian warriors could not lose a battle if a rainbow appeared in the sky. The kahunas see the rainbow as a symbol of transformation and as a path between the heavens and earth. Anyway, good luck to you. Aloha
This video is fantastic! I seriously don't understand why GW wouldn't want a video like this under their channel. Its got cool lore and fantastic painting instruction. Its a shame Louise didn't have the freedom to do this under GW but super happy to see her free on RUclips now
Honestly, signed up for WH+ for YOUR painting videos (plus some of the other stuff) but once I realized that you weren't there for all of them, I was immediately bummed out because you're a fantastic painter. Excited to see what you put out on your channel! Cheers!
Hey! I saw you on warhammer plus master class videos!!! Congratulation for opening new channel!!
I like the format of this video, in that it's mostly lore being told, with painting methods peppered in visually over the top of it. It works really well, and stands out from the rest of the typical painting tutorial videos. Looking forwards to seeing more vids in the future ❤
Congrats on your new endeavour! 🎉
Also, wow I love how you did the sword 😍
Watching this video about obscure Rainbow Warrior lore just filled my heart with joy - Louise is just so bubbly.
While I'm not super into Warhammer, Boltgun made me look into the lore of the world and the history of the hobby. Even though I'm not into the model side of 40K (not yet) your channel has a special quality that I haven't seen a YT channel exude in a while. Your passion and the joy this hobby brings you bleeds through the screen, and I hope you keep making videos for as long as possible.
Cool little vid. I laughed at the "Satan" Gorogoroth clip, that brought back some memories. Cheers!
So excited to see where this journey takes you. Thanks for taking the chance - the leap of faith! The world has your back.
I love crack lore explanation time with Louise! 😂❤
I think it's irish craic, as in "A good craic"
@@anguscampbell3020 ooohhhh, that makes sense too. I'm still going to chuckle at it. 😂
@@isophistchambers6694 ya I think it's a double entendre, I think it means fun/kinda weird/wack lore. craic can kinda mean what ever you want it to mean haha
Saw the Gaahl clip, subscribed, truly a person of culture 🤘
I really like the end result of the painted miniature.
Thanks :D
This is awesome, and different to most other channels, carry this on and you'll be one of my must watch. sound sync was a little off though.
This was siiiiiiick! I am so hyped that you've opted to start this project/channel, and kicking it off with a deep dive into the Rainbow lads in the murky-yet-prismatic origins of Warhammer 40k? Inspired. And has definitely inspired me to give one a go.
Your enthusiasm is adorable. Nice work on the model it looks great.
Rainbow dash if she were a space marine.
I love it. Great video.
“Arm Knees.” A bullet point that’s say “ Don’t leave me.” Hahaha, I love this! It’s awesome to see you making content! I love the prismatic power sword. It is so pretty, and your Rainbow Warriors are always so rad! I look forward to more content from you!
First time seeing you and your art. Phenomenal work! Your painting is so clean and inspired.
I know I"ll like this channel when we get a clip of Ghaal sipping wine and saying Satan in the first couple minutes of the video lmao
Was really looking forward to the launch of your channel! You bring so much positivity and energy to the hobby! Looking forward to more
Happy Easter everyone and congrats Louise! This is going to be great!!!!
Absolutely brilliant, and welcome to the next chapter in the Book of Louise!
My own headcanon for the Rainbow Warriors is they're made up of Loyalist (or repentant) Marines from otherwise Heretic Legions or rogue warbands and the rainbow colour scheme is made of of the armour colours of the original legions when it was first founded and "officially" made an Ultramarine successor chapter.
I've never watched your stuff from previous place and I'm a new follower. You've blasted off the starting grid with the perfectly timed turbo boost and you've smashed it with your first episode, their loss and our gain, Keep doing what you've started.
Amazing result!
Taste the Rainbow
Great vid and wonderful paint job! I remember these guys from ages ago when I first started the "hobby". Being an Ultrasmurf fanboy this was indeed a treat for me. That sword is an absolute beauty and steals the show imo. Not a fan of the classic goblin green basing, but to each their own :)
Armknees off the table during meals, please.
woo go Louise! Great content!
Love the energy and the video! It was recommended to me randomly but I'll sure stick around! Great job!
Have you seen the fan-reinterpretation that basically makes the Rainbow Warriors into Mezoamerican Aztec warriors? With plumes and obsidian swords. It's badass.
Rainbow= Rainbow Feathered Serpent, Queztlcoutl? I like that!
@@Zaprozhan yup!
That sounds badass. And it nice to see some non Greek Roman based marines.
Never heard of rainbow warriors before, but love the lore and your ideas on what their history/future is... also seriously wish I could paint like you. So creative & just love how you work everything out x
Classic old-school GW political commentary, having a picture of a Rainbow Warriors marine being shot by a SoB, replete with French-inspired fleur-de-lys iconography
I am super jealous of your very crisp looking copies of 'Ere We Go! and Realm of Chaos in the background!
I suspect this will quite quickly become one of my top subs. Top work!
I remember the Rainbow Warriors from my RT days. Nice to see them getting some love now.
Rainbow Warriors "heretical"chapter tactic : looking amazing to subjugate their enemies... Too cool to be shot at !
Can't wait to ear your stories about your other miniatures ! (Please tell us more about your Orks !)
So glad midwinter minis sent us here cant wait to see more videos
absolutely loved your warhammer painting videos because I got to learn a lot of cool techniques to add to my painting
but this... this is on an entirely new level of cool!
The humor and editing here are top notch! Can't wait to see more!
I've seen a lot of fanart and kitbash's depicting the Rainbow Warriors with a strong Aztec aesthetic and I honestly dig it.
Not going to lie, I love the geeking out about a super niche part of a super niche hobby. Keep it up!
Really loved this video! Subscribed as a result! Very cool take on their lore, and I enjoy how you painted the mini. Thank you so much for sharing!
The Rainbow Warrior you have painted for this video looks really cool. The green base is a classic detail. Do you plan to make up an army of some size for this chapter? I think they would look awesome on the battlefield. Great atart for the channel, and look forward to following you on your RUclips journey.
🎉 Very awesome 🎉 Thank you! 🎉 I have always appreciated the Successor Chapters of the Ultramarines the art, lore, and the differences found.
Loved this video, you crushed it! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for the Ghaal clip. It made my day 😊
What a great introduction to a mysterious chapter ! Loved the storytelling and that paintjob was the perfect illustration, subscribed !
This is absolutely fantastic! Seriously, a real pleasure to watch this, I can't wait to see everything else you're going to do now! Like, a million little nurglings out of ten
Fantastic video 1! Best of luck and can’t wait to see more!
The Gaahl clip! 🤌🏻
Love your vibe and this channel so far!
Love learning more about 40k. Could you do more dives into forgotten or overlooked chapters/elements of 40k?
So in the Rogue Trader the Rainbowwarrior (Greenpeace) is shot down by a Sister of Battle who weares a Fleur de Lis (a symbol of French royal might)
Not very mysterious at all.
Satire all the way.
Good luck with the channel!
Was going to comment on this myself, as the Sisters did not yet exist in Rogue Trader.
They did, they just were limited to two sentences of lore and that picture.
^this^
RT era GW was very politically aware and this is 100% calling out the actions of the French government sinking the Rainbow Warrior
Te hei mauri ora!
I'm embarrassed to say I never got the full implications of that piece of artwork until you pointed it out to me just now. And I'm a New Zealander for whom both Rogue Trader and the sinking of the Rainbow Warrior are within living memory. That does fully encapsulate the political satire that permeated early 40K as you say. All we need now is a further piece of art with some senior members of the Sisters being arrested by the standard Arbites of an outer world planet.
That is the best-painted Space Marine I have ever seen. The skill is insane, but it's also simply fun to look at
How great that you have your own channel now! I always thought you should be in more videos and love your painting style. Also thanks for the deep dive into the lore! 🤗
Hell yeah, happy to see her branching out on her own
never heard of the rainbow warriors before, but I love what you did with their style. welcome to youtube! wishing you a good start and lots of good times on the ol' platform :)
Thank you so much!!
You are my absolute favorite hobbie-human and I'm so glad to see you doing your own channel now. I'd watch your content 24/7
That sword blew me out my socks. Amaizing video, great content, cant wait for more :D
It's fantastic to see Louise be able to do her own thing! She is a brilliant artist and a very cool person. Excited to see more :)
Never heard of those crystalline power weapons. They look really cool.
When I saw "Oi Dats My Leg" and "Trolls in the Pantry" I had to hit subscribe. Love the stuff on Rainbow Warriors, I painted up a squad in those colours after I cracked open my copy of Rogue Trader way back in the late 80s. They have been overlooked for too long!
Love the video, so much fun energy! Can't wait to see what else you make
HYPE!!!
I honestly hope that you have more lore integrated into your future painting videos- this was a joy to watch, and your enthusiasm certainly jumped out of the screen! Great work! Brilliant to see you back on screen and not just a pair of anonymous hands!
"Epic space marine."
Now there's a name I've not heard in a long time. A long time.
Welcome to youtube, glad you're here!
the patterns on that blouse are unreal, the bloodshot burger is hilarious :D
