Chaos Warhammer Army 1980s 15,000 points OLDHAMMER SHOWCASE

- A 15,000 point 1980s Chaos Army Showcase. Painted to burn the retina with psychedelic power metal intensity, this is my sentimental love letter to the time before the grim dark galaxy of endless war: to the golden age of the hobby in the late 1980s. The time of metal-headed long-haired young men, D1000 random mutation tables, and 25 different kinds of champions of Slaanesh. Of Lead, Smelly Primer, and Vests.
I talk through each unit, what inspired it, and how I painted it.

Och! This army has long been the subject of speculation after seeing it in your other videos, Luke. At last a closer look! Many mysteries have been revealed - and others remain tantalisingly shrouded...
What a tremendous and striking collection. You have the right to be proud!
Many thanks. Indeed- the best mysteries must still remain somewhat mysterious even when 'revealed'. Familiar and yet distant- much like the 1980s.
What is the best thing about this army?
When the bard himself has promoted your video, you know you have made it!
I keep coming back to this video because this army of yours has the same feeling that I would get when walking past and briefly glimpsing in the window of GW Hammersmith in the 1980s. That was a time when Warhammer had personality that has been gradually lost over the years
Yes! Fleeting glimpses of the Hammersmith window- long ago, yet so bright and vivid are the memories!
Really enthralling narrative style. You made me wistful for an era I didn't live in with a game I've never played.
Thanks. Excellent- if you get hold of a time machine, add it to your itinerary 🙂
Dam you are doing what I wish I had the painting skill to do. As I said before over on you instagram, those flags and banners, *inset chef kissing sound here*
:-)
Thanks for sharing these old school Warhammer vibes with us! Awesome work!
Love all them Oldies!
This is a stunning army, truly wonderful, with a lovely video to accompany it. The joy and passion oozes from it all.
Thanks! Certainly it was an odyssey like project, and I don't think any other armies I collect will be like this one- a lot of memories (and dreams) are contained in here, as you sensed.
This is fantastic and inspiring. Thank you for sharing! It makes me want to dust off my hodgepodge of early 90s minis and see what comes of it.
Absolutely glorious!!! A stupendously lovely army to look at!
Love the outrageously bright in your face colours.
And just a massive nostalgia hit of wonderful old figures.
You did an awesome job on these, take care :)
Yes, snorting lines of nostalgia in the cyber bar of the 1980s!
Nostalgic for a time i did not see.
Indeed- there should be a term for that phenomenon.
Breath taking army; thank you for sharing in such great detail!
I'm more delighted that others appreciate listening to me talking about it for an hour!
I love this army, so bright and the hand painted shields and banners are fantastic!
Gorgeous army Luke! I remember seeing it in person for the first time at Destruction Derby before Covid and thinking that it was just spectacular. Both in nostalgia and painting. Then not long after witnessing a gut wrenching moment as the army tumbled off the tray to the abyss of the BASH floor. Thankfully the metal resisted the floor and all was well...if not a little chipped.
Once again. great narration. Those Ogres are the spit of Urblad Rotgut!
Yes I should have remembered to include dropping (half) the army in Derby on the BASH floor- the lead did indeed resist this assault, although it took most of a day to repair and repaint it.
Yes- I know about Urblad all too well.
'My name's Urblad Rotgut'
'That's your problem'
Fantastic army and great paint work.
Fantastic video and amazing looking army. I still have some of those old dudes at home =). Thanks for your great content. I'm still hoping for some reviews/your thoughts/a read through on the other books. Your reviews so far has been splendid. Cheers!
Fantastic, great to see the whole thing together! I remember some hellstriders too, did I miss them?
What a beautiful army and I must say one of my favourite army's too play at the triple crown. Always a very tactical and fun game.
Yes, a match guaranteed to activate the sweat glands ;-)
I use the chaos knights as proxies for Hellstriders (chaos knights are a bit crap in 8th ed and almost entirely redundant due to juggernaughts). I probably did that when you played the army. However I do have some proper ones with original steeds of slaanesh on the way one day...
This is an excellent video and absorbing enough that I sat and watched it straight through. Usually these types of "HERE! see my army!" are dry, painful, lessons in tedium, bore and shaking the camera randomly over things. This was presented in an genuinely engaging way and really well done, especially with the context and showing the age of the army, as we do gain attachments to these regiments.
This is probably among my top three favourite army projects of all times. This really hits the spot and makes me want to give the same idea a go with my own personal take
Thanks man. In a way, it's more a personal army than it is an oldhammer one- and I think a personalised army is the highest virtue to aim for. I love a little story behind an army that says something about the person who collected it.
Five stars. You have single-handedly captured the complete essence of everything that I've ever thought was wonderful about the game when I first got into it in the mid-eighties. Thank you for bringing back those wonderful years with my light brother. Keep up the excellent work and I look forward to seeing anything else that you put out.
i am being serious, this is probably the best warhammer (fantasy and 40k) video i have ever watched on youtube , and ive been into this for a long time now. stunning job. battle brother, i salute you
Thanks for the high praise, much appreciated! I enjoyed making this one especially, as its a bit more personal. I think most armies that are collected have an interesting story behind them, but I've seldom seen this sort of video made before before, that delves into it.
Beautiful.
I didn't have games workshop near me but I had a old hobby store that had Warhammer 40k in the 80's and I was hooked I bought the first ed book and could never find anyone to play with me I wish I still had that book
I think that having some books and models and wanting to play someday - but it never really happening - is very common. Somehow though even just the books had a magical power and there's often a twinkle in the eye of chaps when they talk about it, even if they never played.
Awesome Army Awesome Passion
Would love to see a painting tutorial from you on this style!
Yes, I've been thinking about doing that!
Wonderful showcase mate. I do think the zany and tongue in cheek humor of oldhammer balanced out the grimdark stuff rather well
Thanks for putting together this video. I found it very inspiring especially since I'm also in the process of putting together my own oldhammer chaos army!
Pretty amazing, I now have the urge to throw money at ebay ;)
Forgot to ask before: is there a page/blog/something to watch those pictures and/or read something about them? This video is amazing, having some stills - in high res potentially - would be even better though. Please and thank you!
There's my insta for some stills of most of the army. I'll be uploading more in time.
instagram.com/oldhammer_powermetal_painting/
The paint from that era is still available under Coat D’arms branded paint. Its made by the company who used to make gw paints. It even has that 90’s paint smell!
I do use Coat D'arms sometimes and am a fan of the range (I also like Nostalgia '88). However some colours on Coat D'Arms are different or don't have matches (e.g. warlock purple CDA is quite different from the hex citadel paint).
Indeed- the smell! And the taste too for that matter (I'm a brush licker- for maintaining the brush point however rather than a substance addict!)
That was amazing. I prefer the old models myself.
Absolutely- I think they're miles better (in character and design) but it's a minority opinion!
@@DrBlaxill there was a painter back in the late 90s that your style reminds me of. He went by Freyason or something similar.
Wonderful vid, thank you for sharing!
Wonderful.. :) I remember alot of those oldies but not alL! i played 40k from 2nd Ed release and onwards and a buddy had some of these. But my old club also had some RT era and WHFB 3rd Ed moels on the shelves... Nice to see them again, painted wodnerfully. :)
Thank you :-)
Truly a powerful and visceral army.
it has long been a goal of mine to do similar with the Original tyranids of 2nd edition & the original squats. perhaps even a Dwarf army in future. not yet, but someday soon!
Visceral- indeed, something I was looking to capture
Feels like this is one of the videos I'll watch every so often, maybe once per month, like I do with Nerglings army showcase videos.
Something about people talking about old metal models gets my synopses firing.
Sometimes people say they have my stuff on the background as they paint. I like the idea of providing creative hobby ambience!
@@DrBlaxill na, the visual component of this one is too important to be delegated to just noise in the background. I usually sit down while eating for this stuff.
You and your army are now my semi-regular dinner guests.
I hope you like potato gratin, because that's the only dish I'm good at.
@@boneman-calciumenjoyer8290 most acceptable! 😋
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G
I’d love to see a walkthrough like this for your lovely Bretonnia army! Incredibly inspiring.
Your opinions on personalising an army in a Thorough way, has utterly convinced me that I’ve been doing banners wrong. It is wonderfully camp, wonderfully individual and I can see how you might care more for your miniatures if they truly represent something of your soul. Great idea.
Yes I feel personalisation is a high virtue when collecting an army. You don't have to even be a good painter to do it, it's just a way of trying to make it feel like it's yours and tells a little story.
@@DrBlaxill that’s just as well as I fit the majority here and know I am not a ‘good’ painter as good is commonly understood. The Standards I see being aimed for are prohibitively high and block the fun for most participants.
I shall none the less be adding personalisations now! Thanks for replying.
Oh those Horrors, my eyes! Its been a long time since I've seen such a loud chaotic army, your goal to recreate that Eavy Metal blast from the past .. mission accomplished with style. If I was a weepy old drunken dwarf, this glorious sight would bring tears to my eyes. I enjoyed the eyecandy showcase, lots of familiar faces and a few I snapped up with my pocket money too. Enjoyed and chuckled at your commentary, look forward to seeing what you add. Your beautiful Keeper of Secrets is my favourite greater daemon.
Absolutely- the army is more than anything else a late 80s pastiche. As I got more into it, I realised that I simply prefered everything about old models, and indeed the philosophy and wargaming worldview in general from that period- especially the campness and humour..
Glorious! I always wanted the models from the 80s myself -but couldn't afford them at the time. The colors are amazing - and I love the banners! Thanks for sharing this collection!
Absolutely fantastic. I humbly agree, todays media is mega sanitized,very censored and creatively lacking.
Certainly almost every mini and design I've seen from GW in more modern times does nothing for me creatively. I saw some AOS night goblins and nurgle and thought it was nice...but then realised that was because they were copying 3rd ed designs.
I love the eighties-themed music coming and going :p
Incredible looking army! I guess I qualify as a greybeard these days and I'll admit I feel increasingly out of touch with the hobby community with its obsession with speed painting. To see such a labour of love warms my hobby heart.
Oh my opinions on modern painting are very outspoken indeed. I'm just much more dialed into the painting philosophy of those days- style of painting, but also how long an army should take to collect and how it should be perosnal
As a fellow “greybeard” who has been playing since 91, I’ll never understand how people are so irked by change.
Speed painting is just another method of painting and it works very well. I wouldn’t do it because I enjoy painting the way I always have,
been desperately waiting to see this since i found this channel all of them long 2 weeks ago. play more warhammer u beautiful nerd
that was an epic inspirational journey as someone who is currently building and working through my dream lizardmen army from when i was a kid. Sourcing all the old bits at great expense and developing a colour scheme i felt right there with you. looking through and reading all the old books with the ridiculous names they came up with like skink champions called tinchi winchi, incy wincy and itsi bitsy off the top of my head. yeh im having so much fun as it looks like you did with this stunning army. please post more when uv updated and finished all the units. oh and the intro was beyond epic
Excellent. Yes, it's an idiosyncratic journey to capture an era with its signature style style. Lizardmen can look amazing when painted in the 80s layer style too, as they're an army where you can go super bright.
Still have all my figures from the 80s. Nice job.
If you have enough terrain, perhaps you should make a terrain showcase video.
Wow!
These look amazing!
A lot of history there some amazing work and a nice story to go with it
Absolutely stunning! Each model has character and charm....something you don't see these days.
Well I'm glad to have some old Chaos hounds!
Tis a shame there is but one thumbs up to give when I felt like mashing the effing button at least 23 times during the watching of this video.
love it! Thanks :-)
What an amazing collection and beautifully painted, too! Brilliant!
An awesome video!!! You are very talented at presenting these Warhammer armies and how they function! Keep up the good work!!!
Totally epic! Did somthing similar over lockdown with a RT Imperial Guard army. Also loving the Bubblegum crisis reference.
For all that it's a heavy metal army, the song that mostly comes into my head with it is Konya wa hurricane!
@@DrBlaxill Best song of the series followed by Mad Machine.
@@alexhamilton6188 Yes! Mad Machine is good too!
Just going to save this for later!
I feel lucky to have seen this in real life and played against it! The banners really make it amazing.
Ah, I realise who you are! Great to hear from you again.
I eventually worked out how to photograph the army in a way that I liked. I had always found it looked better in the club under strip lighting than when I tried white boxes etc. In the end blacking out the background seemed to help me a lot.
Can you please send me a DM/email so I have contact details for you?
So great mate! Wonderfull army.
Now i want an army showcase of your Brets! Any chance?
Yes, it's on my list!
A really lovely army. Its like going back to my childhood flicking through the catalog again! Lovely nostalgic moment, thank you!
I didn't know such an excellent assortment of models existed!
I can relate to a lot of what you said in this video. I also was young, and I didn't really realise what a golden era Warhammer was back then. Personally, I think the late 80s/early 90s Marauder Miniatures knock the socks off of the earlier Citadels. However, it was also the start of uniform models.........which is a shame. Looking at your fan created a$$ cannon............I think I know the person who made it. That person also set me up with a somebody who sold me an official citadel a$$ cannon. I'm now wondering, if I bought it off of you! Anyway, I love this army. You've definitely hit the feel of creative 80s GW.
lol, well, my asscannon was sold on ebay so I don't think it was me. There are a couple of fan made asscannon sculpts out there- I purchased the other one last week!
Maurader was without doubt a golden seam of miniature design, and had its own aesthetic which was different - but not too discordantly different - from Citadel.
@@DrBlaxill Ah definitely not me. On further checking evillittlebuggers.blogspot.com/2018/02/the-chronicle-siege-gun-or-better-yet.html I apparently bought mine from a fellow in Spain. I've been catching up on your battle reports. I love them, and your army!
Cracking army. You sound a similar age to me I grew up playing GW in the mid 90s, and the 80s models were a thing of legend then, you would see these mad things in the back of the catalogues or catching dust on the shelves with the old round pot paints and boxes of Man O' War. I wish I had bought more at the time but we just wanted the latest Space Marines and Eldar stuff (When it was actually new Eldar stuff)
Yes, that's exactly right. There were a few fleeting glimpses of this era- odd shot in white dwarf or the odd old blister in independent shops with old stock. Thinking about it, it had disappeared remarkably quickly really. Some of the ROC stuff is as late as 1991 and by 1997/8 they had completely vanished.
@@DrBlaxill In my city there was an independent games shop run by a bloke who was exactly like the comic book guy from the Simpsons. Pony tail, beer gut and everything. His shop was rammed with all kind of mad stuff, he was still carrying lead and old D&D stuff well into the 90s. Sadly GW opened a store nearby and he shut down. I often wonder what happened to him I can't imagine him doing anything else.
I also have to ask, as I am in the process of cleaning and assembling those dragon ogres...did you pin anything with them? I am actually especially concerned about the front limbs given the fact that the surface area is so minimal for how/where they connect to the body. Any suggestions there?
As I recall I pinned some of the bodies and legs. Some of the legs I used were from other sources to give a bit of variety (e.g. Steed of slaanesh) and those certainly needed pinning.
@@DrBlaxill ok, I seem to have lost my pinning touch with recent attempts so I had to ask. years past, these absolutely would have been pinned.
What does WERSF stand for? Awesome army there, it looks amazing! Thank you for adding those old pictures to enhance the 80's spirit as well, it was a blast to watch!
Long ago, I created an abstracted image of an unknown alien spacecraft as a visual aid to a role playing game- and called it 'wersf'' through a typo. The spacecraft and its masters ended up featuring rather prominently from then on in that adventure- but the craft itself never had a name, so ended up being christened by a typo. The man in the image is an earth astronaut captured by the wersf who successfully outwitted the alien overlords after a period of detention. There is much more to it of course :-)
Thanks. I'm a fan of celebrating nostalgia, and love the idea of using an army as a pastiche. The further away the 80s moves from present, the cooler it seems (to me anyway).
@@DrBlaxill Thank you! Looking forward for more battle reports! Do you play Mordheim as well?
Brilliant army, you can see the love you put to this project easily! I do love these 80s miniatures, although personally I don't have that attachment to them as you mentioned at the beginning. For me the iconic and golden age for Warhammer Fantasy is the 5th and 6th edition era, that's when I got to the hobby originally and for me the visual look, the lore and the setting of that time is the best that GW ever did. They were certainly more corporate already then, but the passion of the designers certainly could be still very much felt in all the products, especially games like Mordheim. Sadly that doesn't come through much today at least in the two main games. I just dusted of my old 6th Ed Tomb Kings army which I'll rework and add some units to finally finish a nice army for 6th ed games and maybe for the upcoming Old World if it's any good.
That was the era that was contemporaneous to me (5th and 6th) and there's much to be said for it as an intriguing time- a major junction in many ways. By my chronology 5th is the end of Middlehammer (which brought with it a more substantiated world and lore but retaining plenty of campness). 6th ed - coinciding with the LOTR movies and a general uptick in the popularity of swords and sorcery fantasy - was I would term very early 'Newhammer', with its pivot to a somewhat darker and more realistic feel that had been trailed in Mordheim. You're right that it was much more corporate then than 3rd ed, but at the same time, much of the soul could still be seen in what was a much slicker product. The ideal balance, for the many players I've met who idolise that era (I like it too, even though my foremost love is for an earlier time).
Thank you very much for sharing the many, and bright colours of chaos. Deeply inspiring! (Why, oh why, did I sell off my radiant, 'eavy metal servants of Tzeench?! *sob*)
I love this video, it's an awwesome collection of rare miniatures, a treasure from the past, but even if i understand that the banners mean something to you, i really don't find them right for this army: They are torally out of place here.
I certainly can understand the view. Most of them have little to do with published chaos lore. However the vision of 80s chaos was much less prescriptive than what followed, thus (to me) giving a hobbyist complete artistic licence. For.me.the consistent theme was pulpy camp comic as an aesthetic moreso than the actual chaos lore. I'm much more conservative though for my Bretonnians, all the banners are medieval symbols and damsel/king/soldier etc.
Greetings from a Berlin punk!
Ah yeah, a great oldhammer army painted in bright, shiney color shemes like in the old psychedelic chaos books Realm of Chaos - Lost and the Damned / Slaves to Darkness, from which I at least own one, but forgot which one, haha. I think the Lost and the Damned I have somehwere. I was trying to find it between all WHF books, other books right now but could not find it now. Would take more time to do so now as I would need to check several boxes full of stuff being stashed away due to my almost 13 year tabletop abstinence.
But those old books, drawings, models and color shemes have been the best. Sadly I also only witnessed not exactly this time of WHF tabletop gaming as I was too young back then and just started when 4th went into 5th edition but I also then already loved those oldhammer models a lot! I only own a very few amount of these old models, like the 4 armed champion with the snake tail and some ogres for instance, and I am really a bit jealous when I see your army as I loved your army the moment I saw it in the first of your video clips! 😍
The banners are cool, the shields are also great and the shemes as written already and these old models. Great army overall I can just say!
By the way, I clicked the like # 888 on here - sadly a khorne number and no slaanesh one. But well, at least you can divide 888 thru 6 and the result is 148 so Slaanesh had a win here maybe as well, 148 small ones. 😎
This made my day. So many memories.....mini shopping now damnit
Yes- the memories. They strike at the heart!
important question, what Talisman mini is that for the Minotaur? I thought they didn't make a mini for that one. also what mini do you use for the Valkyrie?
i am currently collecting and painting talisman minis and have gotten ten of them done
For the Valkyrie, this F3 Barbaian: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126387155122?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338722076&customid=&toolid=10050
A perfect match
You are right the Mino isn't an official Talisman one. He's one of the variations from the 80s mino range (not easy to find these however).
@@DrBlaxill thank you for the tip, I'll start looking into 80s minotaurs from Games Workshop
@@CrusaderGundam my mino is from the c25 series
Wow this is something special. I was born in the 90s but this is certainly something.
@@armin8306 oh I think being born after something can make it all the more magic. 'Mystery' is the middle name of Princess Lust!
@@DrBlaxill I do love some of the really old 40k stuff. I'm trying to seek out some reasonably priced classic kits like the SM tanks, some characters etc.
Man this is… so incredibly special, I’m having troubles even comprehending what you’ve done here. I’m an oldhammer connoisseur myself but nothing compared to this. I know first hand the amount of time it can take just to add one single specific model, sometimes years. The joy of finally getting that model into hand. I highly highly appreciate just the pure dedication and love that’s been puttin into this army, even before the paint! This is absolutely without a doubt the coolest army I’ve ever personally seen. I cant even fathom how crazy this must be to be able to stand there and just check it all out in person. Kudos to you man! Unreal!
Thanks, what a lovely comment. This was collected mainly between 2015 and 2017. At that time, there was more old stuff about on ebay than today, and still people selling job lots. But I still add models to it now- although I have many I haven't painted!
There is indeed a feeling of collecting with models of this era. Although I've never really tried to collect full sets of the various ranges- which can be hard as some can be very rare.
However, as you can tell, my aim was more to recreate the feel of an era- and even slightly exaggerate the pastiche to bring out the power metal vivacity and slight blissful naivety of the primordial soup genesis era of warhammer and chaos.
Wow!!! My fav is the "Metal"-hero with the glaive...primary cause of its left hand 🤘
yes, Fetimus the Septile (I believe that's his name)
Absolutely incredible work. I hope you aim for an Imperial Oldhammer 40k army some day!
This is epic! What materials did you use for the banners?
Noting funky- they're just several sheets of sketchpad paper glued together 🙂
Awesome army and excellent video. I have to say I really appreciate your color recipes with the names of the old Citadel Paints names. However Slannesh/excess it seems...I want more. :) Do you have a blog that gives away more of these secrets? (You see what I did there? :) )
What a wonderful video. I have a very similar recollection of looking longingly at the old catalogues. You are a treasure Sir
Just spectacular. :D
Great video, and very cool and good-looking army! I have collected and painted a retro dwarf army from around the same era and in a similar spirit!
Fantastic effort, both the army and the video. Some bloke going on about his WFB army for an hour - and it never got boring? Bloody hell.
Hey, lovely video!
Can you give me some specifics about the banner at around 48:00 ?
What comic/novel is it from?
Nice painting...some strong colours there. I love the large range of stuff you have
Thanks. Mostly it is an exercise in recovering a certain late 80s pastiche- which does lend itself to a style I personally like a great deal.
Absolutely love the paint jobs and models. Don't care for the style of banner, but i am a heraldry goblin.
Meanwhile in the realm of Azyr a distant thunder rolled forty days long .
Sigmar kept staring at his crystal ball , speechless , motionless , beholding visions of blasphemy and disorder everchanging ever meaningful .
When the heavens finally cleared the Godking raised one of his brows and began to ..
With a mighty clash the entrance collapsed and gave way to Archaon alone .
"I come in peace . We need to talk."
At this point Sigmar was already laughing parts of his beard off and spilling most of his golden mead from his horn .
"Seriously , I need Your help ! My hordes are out of control ! Just like in the olden worlds !"
" I cannot help you . But perhaps my counselor can : Asavar Kul ."
Now reborn as a stormcast eternal , the once fallen champion Kul stepped out of the shadows and dropped some miniatures on the table . The sound ofhis voice still had the urgency that could command even demons :
" Let´s play some Fantasy . "
"Alright ! " said Archaon " Are there any rules ?! "
" No . But dont tell it , that is the secret . "
"And in a future realm of Fantasy, after he had left the protective aegis of the Litigator Avengers and the Ceasedesistors, Archaon found his great body had been split into a 1,000 pieces by bands of pirates cloning him again and again with 3D printers. However, the pirates kept darting out of his mighty arc of sight which, everchosen as he was, was still fixed at 90 degrees."
"Oh Sigmar take me back to the mortal realms where I can see in all directions and where your mighty hand have carveth keywords into my foot, lest I forget who or what I am. Games Workshop Shares are up 16.22% today alone- save me from his bog!"
Impressive and inspiringly stylized.
You nailed what I was thinking when painting my dark eldar for 9th edition 40k: the minis are so detailed, I didn't enjoy painting them. I painted one kabal and quit. Just got burned out, and then they pulled 9th to make room for 10th... just not cool imo
Marauder horsemen were in the 3rd ed Chaos Army,
As mounted chaos thugs I assume?
Awesome looking army! It really captures the madness of the Chaos Realms
Can't beat that Heavy Metal aesthetic! I were a lad getting into the hobby at roughly the time at which this era was just passing; so as I enjoyed the various aspects of '90s GW, the visual and conceptual impact of the wacky '80s origins of Warhammer provided a sort of subliminal backdrop. To this day I regret selling the Combat Cards. I had all the different decks and used to cherish those brilliantly imaginative paint jobs, plus the suitably evocative names of the various creatures and beings. Especially the Goblinoids!
The Goblinoids were my first!
Exactly- me too. It was a passing era with the odd call back here and there in WD, the combat cards, and the odd very old blister in an independent stockist. But the allure was greatly increased as a result!
OMG what an incredible find I came across on RUclips! Hahaha WOW I LOVE your army, I LOVE the paint jobs, I LOVE the banners! Chaos Knights were probably my favorite! LOVE your style! 😅
:-) Thanks
feel so seen here...
have all the same,for same reason, but collecting since '94...
Definitely more of a middlehammer guy myself but this army is a treat to look at. So many incredible sculpts, most of which I wasn't familiar with. That lava dragon is a thing of beauty!
Middlehammer was its own era, in its way, and definitely can be historicised as it had a quite distinct look and feel which separates it from both oldhammer and newhammer.
Fantastic army and wonderful showcase. I really love the fantasy models from the 80's and 90's and this video points out many of the reasons why. Thanks for sharing!
Right on Brother! Absolutely incredible! 🤘
Your army is incredible! I'm very proud to possess two of the warriors you included in your Nurgle-marked regiment - specifically the warrior with a scythe and the warrior with bone armour. I use them as my battle standard bearer (with a custom banner, of course) and a champion with the mark of slaanesh respectively, but seeing them in a regiment as regular warriors is very impressive.
Every one of those models deserves to be a hero in his own way.
Your banners are all beautiful! They are little works of art.
Still got my hexagonal paint pots, still not dried out. The "replacement" blacktoped abominations would dry out in a month! (and held less volume!)
Yep. Far inferior
Love this Oldhammer army Dr. ❤
This is what Warhammer should look like!
Awesome army! I joined the hobby in 1996, but still there are so many models in here that I remember or even own myself. Pure nostalgia! Thank you for this very enjoyable video!
