Retro Painting: DEATHWING Terminators for the ORIGINAL Space Hulk Expansion 

That lip syncing is spot on. He never fails to amuse me old flappy lips. The death wing look great! well done! DEATHWING COMPANY!

Your free hand Dark Angels symbol shoulder pad is both excellent and a great tutorial on how to paint something fiddly! I'd never considered painting the larger part and then covering over the bits where you want spaces with the base colour. Looks great!

All of my terminators in my custom Space Marine chapter are the old-school metal models from 1990-1992, just like yours. I poured my heart and soul into painting them, and wouldn't dream of getting rid of them. However, when they're stood up against the newer models, they look so incredibly small! It's pathetic, and saddens me. 😭

Love the channel, always such beautiful work and effort put in to every one. The models you paint always look so good, and the back tracks really help as well, thank you for making such quality content.

I'm surrpised you didn't try a more "space hulk" vibe on the bases. Not that the result isn"t very entertaining, of course

Please do another battle report soon! You are hands down the best battle report narrator out there, and it's not even close!

These are such awesome minis, I think its a shame that the video itself is so short because I just want more time to look at you painting them all.

Looks great. Space hulk 1st edition is one of my all time favourite games.

Great work, good to see you back. How are the nids coming along?

they are amazing. can't wait for the battle report :)

I think my first comment on your channel, was how your voice reminded me of the Space Hulk briefings; I can't think of anyone better suited to play the board game! 😃

So cool mate. I love the freehand work on the shoulder pad. And I like how you did the assault cannon too. I may try to recreate that at some point, rather than leadbelcher spam. Oh, and have a great Christmas buddy.

I can NOT tell you how many of my personal anecdotes start with an acetone bath. Lovely little video, and a bonus RU-vid point for using -the Arbitor Ian- ahem, sorry, White Bat Audio music :D

by the way i opened a subreddit for 2nd edition called R/40k_2nd.

Bloody Hell, is that just one coat of Black Legion on the assault cannon?! This was a great video, love your content and I hope to see more soon 🤞 also, happy new year!

PLEASE one day make a video series on the OG space hulk game.

Awesome vid, this vi has inspired me to buy some Terminators and give them a Deathwing paint scheme. Looking forward to the Space Hulk battle report.

I really like this style it look like a animation cell from a lost media 40k 80s anime

Not going to lie, while the original terminators live in my heart as great models I was rather hoping you'd take that Deathwing paint scheme and use it on the new terminators!

Space Hulk ils my 2024 project, and just bought a 1993 deathwing squad, so thanks for the inspiration !

Such adorable video, these retro minis bring me so much joy!!!! thanks for sharing

More excited for the battle report than Christmas lol

Why is that black magic mug so familiar?.....

He's back! Really like your freehanding on this one. And great music choices!🎉

Lovely work, in the proper Deathwing colours! Can't wait to see them in action 😎

Imo these are the best termies ever made. No so retro, but no so modern.

Come in looking forward to a neat painting video, end up buying a black mage mug. Absolute win! Impulse purchases aside, that freehand work came out so crisp! Looking forward to seeing these guys in action.

"asswemble your brethren" certainly takes on a new meaning...

Damn! You made those free hand insignia look easy… Awesome work as always, love the channel!

Love Space Hulk one of the best wee games out there and underrated.

Great to see a new vid and the Deathwing Terminators look fantastic! Very excited for the next one.

love those old minis. Just found my old metal librarian. Loved that game so much, too

Please make more stuff like this. This channel is the soul reason I still participate in the hobbie

Amazing work as always! How come you decided to go with Snakebite Leather for the bases? I love your blue bases!!

Loved this video Ed and Death Wing were my first love in 40K. You did a great job on these and the captain is also a personal favorite. Luckily I will get to paint a squad of these for commission next year in Blood Angel colours. Merry Christmas to you and fam and all the best for 2024 mate. You are by far my favorite professional video creator on the Tube and I will get in touch soon about getting together next year mate. Take care.

Great video. Very effective colour recipe for the Deathwing. Enjoyable to watch. Also liked the back track music too. Would you care to share the song title at time index 3:36 ??

I was shocked when your stuff first dropped on my feed at how few subscribers you had! Between the incredible production quality and the amazing painting skills I'm always excited for when a new video of yours dropped. You've got me scowering ebay for old models now...

Yay! you are back. This made my day and my lunch break bearable :D

FOR THE EMPERAAAH BRODAAAS!!

4:35 A wild Arbiter Ian appears!

It never occurred to me, when free-handing the Dark Angels chapter symbol, to paint the wings as solid blocks, then break up the individual feathers by painting on the background color. Will definitely need to try that on my Fallen next chance I get. (I've largely gotten away with using the Dark Vengeance sculpts, with the raised chapter symbol on the pauldrons. Always hated when a model didn't have it.)

Wicked freehand work

It’s good to see another video from you..! :) (Also, your freehand is disgustingly good ;)

Well, very nice retro paintjob. However, I would preffer necromunda or sector mechanicus bases. After all, it is Spacehulk, a derelict spaceship...

Wonderful to see you back with a new video. The termies look great. very simple colours but so striking when finished. Looking forward to seeing them in action.

Keep up the good work and glad early Games Workshop is getting some love. I got my start with 2nd edition in the early 90s, and had the original print of Space Hulk. I miss the old models, vibrant paint schemes, and tongue in cheek craziness of early 40k. I was never good at painting, but loved kitbashing which led me to the worlds of Necromunda and Mordheim.

Lovely paint job. I checked the rest of your videos and instantly subscribed! I have two lots of these terminator minis from the boxed set to paint up for 1st edition Space Hulk. No idea what chapter to paint them though. I always liked Blood Angels back in the day, but this Deathwing scheme looks fab.

That into 🥵🌶

I just got into 40k and just bought 10 of my 2nd hand Terminators and painted them Crimson Fists, maybe one day I should try Space Hulk

I heard citadel spray was not actually a primer fit for metal. Can anyone with old school (25+ years) experience with metal primers confirm that this will not chip and flake off of metal? I had bad experiences with Vallejo spray primers and do not wish to repeat. Armory primer was excellent on metal even surviving a dropped motel onto a finished concrete floor with no chips. Unfortunately, it's now discontinued.

Awesome

Cracking videos man! I'm a bit of a newbie to the hobby only really sinking my teeth into 40k with this new 10th version and was struggling to find that 'oompf' to paint the marines until I found your channel. The passion and love conveyed through your vids and the super interesting designs of the editions of old inspired a me to tool up, and give it a crack :) I love what you do and am eager to see what you do next

Great to see some new content. As a 2nd edition 40k/1st edition space hulk fanboy your channel is gold. Really looking forward to the SH battle reps.

Glorious

Can't wait for the battle report!

your missing the most important part!!!!! A coat of gloss varnish, that will make them look truye og painted.

I'd highly recommend using Dettol instead of Acetone. Does a better job stripping metal minis and no where near as toxic.

Now I want to paint my old Space wolf Terminators. Love the scheme.

Hi, had someone taken a wire brush to those terminators? In would have expected more smooth surfaces and personally I would have avoided pure white as it shows all the scratches.

Impressive work (especially the freehand)!

Watching your battle report on this made me want to pick up a set, until I saw that the deathwing box was 400$ on eBay haha

I like seeing how to paint metallic parts without using metallic paints. It seems like in most of the old GW photos they didn't use metallics all that much, mostly just on some guns.

Great paint jobs,love the intro the sacred artifact

the talking mouth of that Space marine is very funny !

This is the way!

Awesome video! You inspired me a while back to repaint my old RTB01 and 2nd Ed Starter set marines. I look forward to see your Space Hulk battle report.

Perfect intro. Love it!

Love how retro contrast paints make minis look

Ace paint job mate. Hopefully see these bad boys on TT some time as well!

When Black Rainbows started playing I was like ‘wait this isn’t Arbitor Ian!’ Awesome video! Any cheeky early space hulk videos coming soon?

I have a couple of these models. Do not have a original flamer or the grenade launcher.

how do you make the pva glue and ipa solution?

Mega cool minis😊 Thanks for inspiration

Love the intro as always! Glad that you are back!

For stripping metals, also consider a cheap ultrasonic cleaner with some 99% isopropyl alcohol. Gets every nook n' cranny.

Great work on the paint. Always a treat to see these old classic models get some love and attention. I am curious why you elected to go with sand and grit basing if the intention for these models was to use them for Space Hulk?

They look fantastic

Great stuff! 👍 I love the freehand Deathwing symbols and lots of lovely old school vibes as usual! Many thanks for the high quality content! 🤟

Always a joy to watch one your videos.

great video can't wait for the battle report.

Nice free handing on the shoulders!

Love your content! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos for us all to enjoy!

Fantastic freehand! Great video

You're videos are as comforting as chicken soup. Love the tone and vibe. An alternative I suggest for the white armor is just going over it with apothecary white thinned down to reduce the grey filter on flat surfaces if you want to avoid having to do your mix. Lovely minis as always!

Goddamn that looks brilliant!

Superb

Awesome work!

Really cool.

Love them

No ''Wing of Death'' song?

They came out great. Love the old school aesthetic

Those look great just judging from the cover photo
