Okay, but how they managed to fix Gabbs is extraordinary, she has such a horrible face sculpt.

@JayFFAFAlesanaES Год назад

I actually don't mind Nagash's old model tbh, so for me butterfly lady wins because that was a nice transformation and saved it. Gabs' face is definitely better but tbh it's actually not really salvage able. The orc cheerleader is hilarious and I like it for that reason. XD

I kind of want to see a sculptor modernise these models but keeping the same theme and then have those models painted in the same scheme

@nicolasyuri5268 Год назад

there is a remake of Ariel in Total war 2 which I think is pretty good in therms of fidelity with the original, but without being goofy as hell. Nagash has a new tabletop model tho, it looks pretty sick.

@bonukasindalsen7054 Год назад

There was a limited run of female warriors heavily inspired by Gabbs and Jayne(who were never mentioned as being space marines, just female warriors)

@dracometeors3010 Год назад

There are 3D Printable Remake of such classic's as the Screamer Killer or first Dreadnought, that keep the Spirit of the Sculpts but make them bigger and more menacing.

Hiding parts of Nagash's face in shadows and giving it some OSL really makes it look sinister instead of cartoony 👍

@SquidmarMiniatures Год назад

Thank you so much for the donation❤️🥳🥳

@Raven-qj8xk Год назад

Superb save of the miniatures alround! Im with you, the Nagash is brilliant and Gabs close 2nd, quick gripe, the female model is a power armoured warrior from rogue trader not a space marine ❤

@mattcurr9931 Год назад

i can relate to the nagash/gary story. as a graphic designer we are asked a lot to provide 3+ options for the client to choose from. And if you put up an option that is shit thinking they'll pick the better ones... well, lets just say odds-on they'll pick the crap one. It really is amazing how often it would happen (or they want a frankenstein version combining elements from each). It got so bad that now as a veteran I refuse to put forward any option that I'm not proud of, lest this happen. If that means you only get 2 options, then so be it.

@Shaderaygun Год назад

I feel like Nagash came out the best here. With a paint job like that, the model legitimately looks great.

@Qutut Год назад

Those two "Space Marines" were never Space Marines, they were called "Female Warrior"

@chadmrrsn Год назад

People tend to forget that part.

@Gogsnik Год назад

Also, if you look at the symbol on the shoulder pad it is the same symbol depicted on Sister Sin in the Rogue Trader rulebook and they have "Sister" on their base tags.

@chronotub1528 Год назад

They were originally sculpted as Space Marines, though not released as them.

@Gogsnik Год назад

@@chronotub1528 The only "evidence" for this is an alledged reply from Alan Merrett in a facebook conversation that no-longer exists. Much more recently he made a comment saying that, with regards to female space marines, "the canonical position was that such entities did not exist in the 40k universe!" In that same comment he confirms that Sister Sin ("warrior nun" as he puts it) was the inspiration for the Sisters of Battle, confirming that Sister Sin is/was a Sister of Battle. If you look at that artwork, and compare it to Jayne and Gabs, you will see the same style of armour, the same rebreather apparatus and the same horned skull symbol on the left shoulder pad, and, additionally, they have sister on their base tags, unlike space marine miniatures, which say, funnily enough, space marine. If we are going to speculate over what Jayne and Gabs might have supposed to have been, if not adventurers, then they are demonstrably, Sisters of Battle.

@chronotub1528 Год назад

@@Gogsnik the post is well documented, if the only evidence that they were sculpted as female space marines is that the head of design at the time said they were sculpted as female space marines then I consider that pretty good evidence. That female space marines aren't cannon is beside the point, no one says they were. Just that the idea was floating around in the mind of at least one GW designer, who then sculpted some models which sat in the reject drawer for a while until they needed something to put out, at which point they were released as female adventures. As for the sister sin comparison, yeah it's quite possible she was the inspiration. And yeah, Sister Sin is presented as sister of battle, it litterally has a blurb about the Adepta Sororitas next to her picture in Rogue Trader. Though if she was developed into the sisters it does raise the question of what she was originally drawn as?Given the comparisons to the Adepta Sororitas and space marines in the Rogue Trader Rulebook it makes sense to me that the idea of female Space Marines may itself have developed into the Sisters of Battle. Just my speculation. As for the armour, it looks pretty space mariny to me, it looks more like the classic image of a 1st Ed marine than some of the actual 1st ed marines, also the skull on the shoulder pads was used on marines from the era. I have a librarian with it.

@SquizmWizzerd Год назад

the way you painted the robe on nagash is really incredible

@marcwittkowski5146 Год назад

Did you think we wouldn't noticed the barely painted back with the rubbed off paint? Not today, good sir, not today!

@jazzcama Год назад

Wow, you nailed Nagash! Awesome paintjob that definitely redeems the miniature.

@NEEDbacon Год назад

My take away from this is Nagash was a 'The Producers' situation. Spring time, for Nagash, and Zombies.

@yohanrasslan3473 Год назад

GW with Gary was like "Joke's on you, I'm into that shit"

@cameronjames3499 Год назад

Im surprised none of the really old Bretonnian minis rated a mention - the faces can be absolutely hilarious/ridiculous.

@Gruntcakes69 Год назад

The way you limited where the cheek bone highlights on Nagash were really improved his face 👍🏽 great job

@Crytica. Год назад

While the Nagash face is a bit cartoonish looking, I really love the rest of the model. You made him even look a bit spooky with his eyes looking that dark.

@Zenjie862 Год назад

I'm confused how Nagash is lotted in with the rest of these models... he looks genuinely great. Definitely not tacticool edgy 2020's style cool, but a solid 90's vintage style cool. I love the sculpt. The other 3 are... definitely eccentric ...

@erperejildo Год назад

7:30 we literally bought the same box for the very first time. It's next to my keyboard while I'm typing :)

@tomcurtis9200 Год назад

Massive fan of all the content. I find the precision and execution of the work so relaxing. I also had an idea for a video. Pick a discontinued/out of date mini of a WH character, or a character from lore that is yet to have its own mini and have a competition who could make the best version of their respective choice. A good example might be Huron Blackheart.

@Warlickx Год назад

You cannot tell me the old school tyranids weren't uglier that those

@cyagen9782 Год назад

As an old Blood Bowl Player,r th Ork cheerleader has a special place in my heart. The cartoony over the top ridiculousness of the sculpt represent for me what BB is. A silly, over the top fun game!

@total_betty Год назад

It's amazing how new painting techniques have changed minis over the years! Back in the 80s when we had DnD minis they'd be weird plastic things with a slap of mostly one colour of paint but the Warhammer minis always seemed so amazingly detailed which your new painting really reveals! I love them!

@zamiyaFlow Год назад

Now that Nagash, is a thing of beauty. Supreme job.

@sweatilaa5325 Год назад

shut up, that old Nagash is epic! Those internet people don't know what they are talking about! To me, Nagash will always be a cool dude dressed in purple with a pimp cane. Few modern models even come close to being on his level.

@VaultBoy13 Год назад

Why don't people like Nagash? The miniature looks awesome, especially with the paint scheme you gave it. If you guys are painting older models, I'd love to see you get your hands on some Chaos Dwarves and paint them up sometime.

@NicolasConnault Год назад

Chaos dwarves were sooo good!

@toastythecod9745 Год назад

Those wood elf archers were my first minis too! I have no idea what happened to them though.

@HobbySauce Год назад

If Squidmar cant make the Sisters of Battle mini look good - no one can. My opinion: no one can - but he polished that turd real good!

@ellesse3862 Год назад

I'd like to see you paint butterfly wing patterns on Ariel's wings if you ever do another one, one colour with pale dots doesnt really work for me. Your Ariel looks lovely, just think its a missed opportunity with the wings.

@vinterbjork4128 Год назад

Nagash looks the best in the end, but I think Gabs had the most improvement.

@TheColosiss Год назад

Nagash actually looks terrifying and imposing instead of a 90s kids cartoon villain. Very cool color scheme.

@klug5916 Год назад

Well, I never found them ugly in the first place. OK, part of my teenagers years, but Nagash was always impressive, Ariel lacked some finesse of an elven avatar and the ork cheerleader was clearly intended from the start to look silly. I admit, I didn't know about the female space marine and I don't find her interesting, but in range with the models of this period. Anyway, you really did them justive, you two! Congratulations!

@JohnnyTrash87 Год назад

The bare metal on the minis' backsides hurts my soul...

@MrThomaskirchner Год назад

Back in the day, I took Ariel and swapped her wings for the big bat like cockatrice wings.

@esbenm6544 Год назад

The fe-marine still looks like she stretched a human face over a space marine helmet.

@kelsonv642 Год назад

Hey Squids , I just wanted to take a second to thank you for all the help and advice over all your videos. Having watched Weshammer for lore and your videos for painting ideas and techniques me and a buddy of mine have gotten into painting minis and we are having a blast so far. I’ve only gotten to fully paint 4 of our set but I also went out and bought the Patrol box for DeathWatch. You 100% gave me the inspiration to give this a try and I’m really glad you did. Thanks again 🥰🤘🏻

@marasmusine Год назад

This has inspired me, I think I'll dig out my Ariel and some paint stripper. When I first got her 25 years ago I wasn't even priming my minis. It's time to do a proper job.

@Tarq242 Год назад

Damn that nagash! I'm starting to think the box art was the real culprit here... You really fixed the face which I think has always been the main weirdness about that mini.

@florians9949 Год назад

@rickysrealmofcolour Год назад

This is awesome, I love to see old minis get modern paint jobs and they all look great 🔥🔥

@Hurricanelive Год назад

Well, GW was never known for female faces and RT had a really grimdark and deep Battletech aesthetic ugly going on at that time which I love than and still do now. I like that cartoony sort of heavy metal animation look, like really bad rotoscoping too, the roughness is what gives it the flavor.

@RonBlankenbeckler Год назад

That Nagash is amazing!

@grimnir8872 Год назад

That Ariel paintscheme was honestly worse than the default scheme holy shit.

@MoltenPlastic Год назад

As a kid growing up I would see Nagash and Ariel absolutely EVERYWHERE. And I couldn't afford them, so I always ardently desired them. Don't dare tell me they're ugly!!!

@davidstone-haigh4880 Год назад

1:38 My GW shop in Manchester in the UK looked like that. Minis were 50 pence a figure from the shelves with little drawers in behind the counter. You had to ask to look through the drawer with your figures in and select the least badly cast mini in the drawer. When GW sold all manner of games and RPGs and minis. Sigh!

@ThijsSchrijnemakers Год назад

the OSL on Nagash is spectacular :)

@huguesaufrais8057 Год назад

From discount sarah jessica parker to discount cher!😆 Great job!

@themainman2827 Год назад

I personally like the old Nagash, it's more colorful and the details are more defined. That effect of "green light" so fashionable lately does not convince me at all; At first glance it seems to me more like an airbrush error that tries to go unnoticed.

@KPDigitalTravel Год назад

I have never played Warhammer: 40,000. I just subscribe because I like you personality and style. That being said...I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU PAINTING ACTUALLY WARHAMMER MINIATURES. ❤❤ NAGASH AND ARIEL!!! Wow! I really miss the game. Since the implosion of Warhammer in 2015, I sold 6 different 3000 point armies and decided to focus solely on Blood Bowl. Wait! You're painting an Orc cheerleader too! This is my dream day on Squidmar Miniatures.

@rogthepirate4593 Год назад

I mean ... those are some truly stellar paintjobs, but I don't think they were enough to redeem the sculpts, with the noted exception of nagash. Still, I applaud you for this truly inspiring attempt at turd-polishing. Of course all that is subjective and the fact that I never did much like the old RT/WH sculpts to begin with may well create some bias ...

@Ragdollcatman001 Год назад

I think I still have my Nagash somewhere And just managed to buy one of Gabs for the lulz Think I'm gonna use her in my 30K legion too muhahaha I love all these old models, even if they are "ugly" I've actually got 9 of the old Cobra Terminators too which I'm going to use, having kitbashed them with later terminator arms for chainfists, stormbolters and assault cannons - they'll become an Indomitus squad.

Classic GW, when presented with the better looking model they pick the model purposely sculpted to look worse Still looks good tho Reminds me of Grim Fandago idk why

@samhell3524 Год назад

This is probably the best those miniatures are gonna look but this challenge is the equivalent of putting make up on a pig…

@guleri Год назад

Wow Nagash has really grown over the years, he is so much bigger in the current version. Still the old metal model looked rather good I think, and I think he would look good in an army today but not as Nagash perhaps. All four looked much better after you painted them than the old box art :-)
