Metal Land Speeder Restoration Warhammer 40k 

in a 3 hr plane flight, got an entire bag of skittles to meself, got some warhammer videos on me laptop, today is a good day.

I remember building this as a kid in the kitchen, dropping it and gouging a hole in the lino floor, mum was livid 😂

As a kid, I played a 3-player game with my two younger brothers. My youngest brother flew his Ravenwing Landspeeder directly into the middle of my other brother's orks. It shot the Ork Skorcha with the assualt cannon and the fuel tank exploded. He then rolled double 6s for the range of the explosion and suddenly EVERY SINGLE ORK was on fire. 😂

Saw the video title and immediately had 'Land Speeder, Speeder of Land' as an earworm. Get to the end of the video and was not disappointed. Also beautiful job on the model.

My only suggestions are two minor improvements. One, a series of flat haired brushes, and two, an egg shaker or finger-drum percussion for your gloriously triumphant songs!

This is not possible for everyone: I have a machinist friend that made me steel stands for my Land Speeders and other models that are on stands. The rod is threaded into the base. He glued in a threaded brass insert into the models. The rod then can be screwed into the model. It all comes apart for easy storage. It is super strong and stable because of the weight of the steel base. I advise anyone that has a lot of these type models to make friends with a machinist, or become a machinist.

I'd love to see a 90's style kitbashed Roboute Guilliman standing off to the side, proudly waving his 'Eavy metal troops away to battle.

The 2nd edition army is looking pretty awesome there. I grew up in small town America, so back then the only way I ever got to see this stuff back then was in the pages of magazines like InQuest. Seeing you fulfill the childhood dream is great and I get it man. Keep it up

I bought an old Ravenwing metal land speeder for similar reasons. Although I'm doing a Mantis Warriors as Ravenwing (no white scars, seemed close enough). I used a paint brush for the stand!

I like the new addition to the army of dreams, seatbelts are definately a must on those earlier variants. I imagine the servitors giving it a wax and polish humming along to those catchy imperial tunes.

I still have half of these, and a land speeder in the same condition. I'm so making a 2nd ed army myself now!

I have no interest in painting or playing old hammer but I love the journey your videos take us on. From technical, to lore, to paint. it's always interesting and entertaining.

I can't wait for the Compliation Album. Groovy tunes! ❤😂 Sweet model as well. You and I, Matt, are in about the same place with what we like in the hobby from what I see. Great content, sir!

I have most of the parts for two of those in my bitz bag (I have no idea how because I am an ork). You have inspired me to loot them and use them in my 2nd edition Deffskull list. And by the way, I love your content.

great work with the painting. the old models and paintscheme with all its vibrant colors really puts the core back to them. I will do the same when I have time to paint again.

Saw the video, first thought "Land Speeder-The Speeder of Land", starts Video, first Sentence "The Land speeder- The Speeder of Land"- Love this channel!

Brittle flight stands were always a problem. Absolutely lovely work here!

Love watching your videos you're the Bob Ross of retro miniatures

I still have one of these in a state of part built, it was part of a full squad. 6 bike mounted marines +1 Attack Bike +1 Speeder = 10 Man Squad. I need to paint them....

Wow this brings me back. I thought metal dreadnoughts were tough to make until I tried building ones of these bad boys. Stuck my fingers together several times. Each night.

Love watching your journey of collecting and painting all these minis of my youth! Can't wait for the next video!

beautiful, i love watching these retro mini restorations

Great job! Those hunks of metal broke many flight stands...

I remember having some of the old Dreadnaughts, heavy enough to be a serious weapon if thrown with purpose!

Ah the old foundation paints, i miss these.

Now this was a real treat

That yellow looks so good

That beautiful lump of metal is turning 30 soon, well done on giving it new life! Good thing Arkhan didn't discover any aquatic species or found any countries, that would be hella confusing.

Shocked yours wasn’t a bent twisted mess like mine. This was the model that made me swear off metal minis for the rest of my life

YOU CAME OUT OF LEFT FIELD AND KNOCKED ME OUT WITH "ARKHAN SPEED"!!!

The question of who discovered the Land Speeder reminded me of the 80s' film, "Jake Speed". I was tickled to find that there is a tangential link between the film and 40k, as the film was reviewed in White Dwarf. According to Wikipedia, "Alex Stewart reviewed Jake Speed for White Dwarf #83, and stated that "Until John Hurt turns up, having fun being a sleazy villain, the cast hang about, wondering what to say to each other. The result is surely the dullest and least speedy caper movie ever."" Thanks for another fun video.

This is such nostalgia bait my dude hahahaha. They look awesome!

I love the classic colors

Vary nice job, sir. I love how you do what you do. The old speeder is a tough model to make look good 👍

Excellent job. That cross hair was a nice touch. Your ultramarines are becoming formidable. Not warhammer related, but I crumped a squirrel in my attic with a tomahawk this morning.

I almost hesitate to post this after the effort you put in, but the heavy flamer is meant to be set further back, the gunner's gauntlets aligned so he is gripping the rear handles. And as to the 2nd edition kit, I assembled mine long ago, painted in my first chapter, the Doom Eagles. When the 3rd edition plastic one came out, we purchased many, and and my lone metal land speeder looked a bit odd among them. Ended up swapping and converting it into a Genestealer Cult version, complete with Tallarn crew, heavy bolter and plasma gun.

Looks lovely. Great job.

Laudable, truly. Thank you

hey, hallo, thank you for that weekend video ! got a metal gargbot aside me to watch toooooo =) greetings CU

Greetings and Salutations! Enjoyable as always. I had one of these abominations. I sold it eventually. I find that making flying models in metal is a really bad idea. I eventually replaced it with the 3rd Ed plastic version, and armed it with an Assault Cannon and a Stormbolter. It serves with my Dark Angels. All the best to you, Billi.

A great addition to the collection! Small and nimble, it will be forever missed. Enormous gunbrick that is the Storm Speeder will never be a good substitute.

Silly dark angels? SILLY DARK ANGELS! I suppose they’re a little silly, yeah.

Seriously impressive paint job! wow! it looks great and you really upped your details game. I can only imagine how proud your are of your collection. This army is legendary! Each time I watch your videos I am inspired to keep going with my own army, so thank you, and I really hope you will find someone to play against, because it would be beautiful, especially with the amazing terrain pieces you made previously :)

I have never seen the 2nd Edition Land speeder pilot helmets! I would make an entire army with those helms if I could!

Beutiful model, beutiful paintjob, beutiful song.

Love the video, paint brush handles are great for flying bases but I would suggest buying the clear acrylic ones. :)

whilst i'm following your guides for my own chaos army, I must say I'm kinda tempted to paint my heresy beakies as ultramarines following your painting scheme just because it looks so retrotastic ;)

7:29 Slaanesh is pleased with this hobby technique.

Always chuckled at those models with the Heavy Flamers on.

I recently refurbished one and it was a killer to put together. Metal stand & base recommended. Love the video

The first vehicle kit I owned! And mine was lead, so it was too heavy for the ridiculously inadequate base and broke almost immediately! IIRC, this was released in 95 (Call It Love by Deuce was in the Charts at the time, Google says '95). I've got two on the go right now, using the DM rules to replace with HB's and AC's of course! 😈

The landspeeder , Speeder of Land , is FIRE !!!!🤩 PMSL 😂 at the Anxiety, Tearing up a Treasured Relic comment, it made my day, dont ever stop being AWESOME BROTHER, all the best from the Gold Coast Australia 😉

Love the slow jazz, very Charley Brownish.

Land Speeder: The Reserection ! ! !

Very nicely done.👍

Nice! I wasn’t sure about that base but it ended up looking great. ❤️

These old models are so great.

This channel is cosmic jazz.

Ive found that brass tube from hobby shops work as an ideal flying stand peg substitute, obviously you have to paint it. They are great for flying minis you're gonna play with and are super easy to work with. They can also be cut and shaped with hobby files.

I never realized how detailed this kit is.

Awesome paint job!

Thanks to You and Your glorious minis - I feel a kid again :)

Man I love these restorations! Fantastic job!

i like the proportions a lot more than the new one. It's like a hovering rollercoaster cart with a gun on it.

Not many people know this but it’s called a Land Speeder because it was discovered by Arkhan Speeder.

Oh i wish I had mine, and all the second ed codexes to read. Proper job fixing it up for service mate.

Very nice!

Wonderful as always

Finally ASMRspeeder

Really enjoy your videos man. Don't know how you don't have more subs

Looks awesome!

I love 💕 your attention to details ❤

Such a great model.

My first spacemarine vehicle. Thanks

“For like a bolt round in an ork eye socket” 😂😂😂

Look fantastic!

Awesome!!!

I use Mechanicus Standard Grey to lighten thing up a bit over blak prime. This helps out with lighter colors er, colours on the panels etc.

Nono, green is good. Green is the 4th, the best, company.

Looks great and gives me some ideas or painting my modern Ultras. I'm trying out caledor sky as a broad highlight color over the normal Macragge blue for larger upper-facing panels on my dreadnaught

Epic paint job 👍

I used to have one of the old broomstick land speeders, but I traded it to somebody long ago. I do still have the metal shoebox land speeder though. And a newer plastic one painted in the same chapter colours.

Awesome work on that land speeder Matthew, and while I haven't commented on your recent chaos projects....damn i do admit that the old way of mixing and matching units from different factions in a chaos undivided army is uniquely tempting, i may even consider that for a future project now. More importantly perhaps, i don't know if this was deliberate or not, but your narration is starting to tread into this ASMR sorta territory in my opinion lol, and wouldn't that just add a new feather to your cap? You already have the 40k-inspired music thing going.....40k-inspired ASMR just seems like a logical side gig now if you ask me, so keep that in your back pocket ar least I'd say. Keep up the quality content! Great work as always!

Slick!

gorgeous

9:52 That would be a fun rule. When the Speeder dies and does not explode roll a D6. 1-4 nothing happens, on a 5 place a single Assault Marine within three inches of the Speeders last location, on a 6 you place two Assault Marines within three inches of the Speeders last location.

So jealous. i wish i could paint like you can.

It's strange how as a kid we all hated ultramarine as they were the poster boys. Now they're appealing to me as a 41 year old grognard.

Great video

Imperial fist contrast is a great paint

You never fail to pleasw

Use them with the OPR ruleset, trust me, it's a blast.

Another hreat video mate.

All their weapons look like Super Soaker squirt guns, yep, 2nd edition 40k.

Add to the Guilliman comement last mentioned, id love to see him paint up a Thunderhawk in 2nd edition Ulramarines Blue!!!!

Lovely, just like your voice.

Ah, the Land Speeder. Did you know that the plans for this were discovered by Stephen Land? That's why it's called that. Fun fact

"Show us on the doll what the hobbyist did"

I admit, I did guffaw at the "Arkhan Speed" bit

@07:30 ah, the neverending debate: to drill, or not drill, the bumholes of your models.
