The Original Land Raider - Warhammer 40k Space Marines 90s 2nd edition 

It is called a "Land Raider" because that is what half the "Kill Dozer" was called in Matchbox's "Adventure 2,000" toy range. It was featured as the hero vehicle from Judge Dredd: Cursed Earth storyline (2,000AD, progs 2000 AD Progs 61 - 85), which was a cross-company advertising campaign with Matchbox. The paint job really sells the 2nd Ed vibe; and the model is a great reworking of the original. One of my favourite minis released in the past few years is the rescaled Fury Dreadnought available as .stl. The Miniscape Singers really nailed the official Land Raider song.

Entertaining, esp for those of us that only DREAMED of having real money in the 90s

This is the most happy I’ve ever been while listening to a song about Land Raiders 😊😊😊

Retro stuff brings a burst of nostalgia to my hollow heart.

My friend gave me a damaged original landraider from his unfinished models a few months ago. When I stripped it back I found 2 different chapter paintschemes and decals under the paint. A relic of decades of battles. Now its the sacred relic of my Hospitallers.

Oh man the metal sponsons.... reminds me of the predator annihilator that had metals sponsons, top plate and turret. The metal parts weighed more than all the plastic sprues combined and was a nightmare to construct 😅

I remember the Land Raider effectively being a blank during 2nd edition. Some older people had them left over from that mysterious game that came before but I never saw one until the new model released during 3rd.

This took me back to the wilderness years of the Land Raider. Luckily I had 2 from Rogue Trader but we all wanted more. I can remember all the WWI kitbashes (I think one based on the Mother tank did even appear in White Dwarf) and many of us tried to make versions of the one in Epic (our first glimpse of what would eventually come to 40k). But, back in the day, we could go through whole editions without having models to represent what was in the Codex.

That's my era and that looks bloody awesome!

I've got an original painted in 2nd Ed style on a box somewhere. I remember being so excited to get it in 1994 ish

Okay so the makeup brush skit was basically a direct recreation of what happened to me too…. 😂 That Land Raider song is stuck in my head now….

Cool tank! The song and the brush skit were the highlights though! There seem to be much happiness and joy on the home world of your chapter.

Came out great. I remember my friends and I looking at pictures of the Land Raider in White Dwarfs and books when we first got into 40K and lamenting that it wasn't something that was available to buy at the time. Back when lascannons were some of the biggest guns in the game, a tank with 4 of them seemed insane.

I got this for my birthday when I was like 12 in '92 even though Id never even played 40k and was only vaguely aware of what it was (I think the closest thing I had at the time was Space Crusade board game).

🤣 awesome second edition vibes mate - thank you! Also, I have your bloody song stuck in my head! 😱😱🤣

This might be the cutest thing I've ever seen released from Games Workshop.

you are killing it man!

I rescued a quite beaten up last year for my 30k dark angel army. Fantastic design.

It's a mighty machine, and you've done it proud. Like you I never saw one in the shops, just saw them in the occasional battle report, and the ad in the one old White Dwarf that was my first, long before I played the game. Speaking of its resemblance to the old WWI tanks, I remember a White Dwarf where they featured - after the original kit was retired, but before the new one was announced, so I guess it wasn't 'competing' with anything - a kitbash Land Raider based on an actual WWI tank kit. That, the Shampoo Bottle Hover Tank, and the time they put the plans for a plasticard Baneblade in the magazine for folks to scratchbuild by themselves, are kind of my holy trinity of the early 'eh whatever' attitude to the game, before the 'official minis and only official minis' attitude swept everything else away.

That army is absolutely gorgeous 😍

Howard? Cool Jazz and Land Raiders... you've gone mental!

awesome xD that brought me much joy, thank you!

I'm going to be singing that song all day

Excellent ! Thanks. i have one Land raider 2nd édition that need to refurbish, i will sing the song while doing it

I’ve been searching Apple Music for the Land Raider song but can’t seem to find it 😢. Your retro army knocks the socks off all the fancy shmancy Primaris armies with their “pro” paint jobs! I’m off for a brew….😙🎵 land raider, raider of land…

Well Landraider, Raider of Land is going to live rent free in my head for maybe a decade

The only thing that this kit is missing is the Turn Signals.

i have the old land raider, predator, chimera and rhino(x2). Even the boxes haha. SO many old stuff including the boxes up in my boardgame room. Love it :)

That ditty really cooks!

Can't wait for the original land speeder video, you could start an album😆

The unpainted turnaround instantly reminded me of Wall-E with those guns on the top as his eyes. Can't unsee it now

I love Oldhammer. It was so silly and over the top.

3:27 - 3:50 Wow! That's a nice paintjob. The weathering looks especially great!

That song is Christmas #1 material.

Truth be told, I never cared much about the raider of land originally. As someone who got into the hobby like a year ago, and has never been interested in the universe previously, I just saw it as a "lol, big rhino". When I found this channel, however, the land raider song got stuck into my head and I started singing the first few lines to my GF. Eventually, the meme song endeared us to the model and we gifted each other one of the new land raiders, one for my DG and one for my GF's 1000S. We just built them and we are very excited to paint them!

Wish I still had mine. Edit, Proper Job

Nice model and catchy song!

Got mine in the twin pack. Went halves with. A friend in 91

Very nice! Your Ultramarines tank collection continues to grow…

Love the song, great video 😂

Great job looks fantastic

I see miniscapes, I likee

Matthew is my hero

God damn i need a Landraider ! Might have to add sone music to your song !

I flipped one of mine upside down and added a rhino to the front per the WD article and...TAH DAH. Spartan

I feel like every model should have a little Mechanicus work order included in the box now

That was great lol

Well, the singing alone is worth a thumbs up, nice work on getting the whole family involved. Great job on this little bit of entertaining silly fun. Thank you for putting these vids together, always end up with a smile on my face after watching them.

Very cool, just subscribed, hello from Australia

That ending was family abuse for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a lovely video, subscribed.

Very cool, such an iconic model. Just as a tip from someone who does both scale models and tabletop: parts like handles, antennas and other thin bits are best replaced with metal way before painting; resin is waaaay to brittle. Handles can be bent from paperclips or similar, while guitar sting or stiff steel wire are good antenna material.

"Land, raider" I'll keep an eye out on Spotify

Ironically, this edition of the land raider actually looks tall enough for Terminators to climb into. Don't ask me how a Dreadnought is supposed to enter and exit the vehicle though. 😄

I wanted one of these soooo bad

Thumbs up and comment for the excellent song 👏😊

I love that wifey is willing to indulge you like that 😂😂😂

Love the funny bits 😊

lol smooth watchin 🤙

Somewhere .. in a manufactorum, deep within the Imperium, a diligent servitor gathers and packs the requisitioned parts, humming to itself "landraider .. raider of land". Nice addition to your collection, pleased the terminators are excited, who doesn't love a land raider. Great song, much better than those marching dirges of the imperial guard.

Yes, the best battle tonk there ever was. Never had one of these but they were something like £8 entire pounds back then, and they'd published the templates to build your own anyway. I have a 3D printer, yeah, baby, deep gurglie resin, and if i had a mind to, I gots me the skillz to build the box. Might give it a go someday, probably after the doc tells me the liver's shot. On the other hand, there's little point owning one of these if you're not going to play, and I live in Brighton so that's absolutely not an option. Never really got how one raids the land, of course. Sounds like a synonym for 'mud-mugger'. "You there, the big clod with the tufts of brown grass, give us all your money!" I'm looking forward to your song. When I see one of these beauties my brain starts playing 'Renegade Master' by Lardlad Slender, also a resident of this benighted hellhole-on-the-wet. Now, I knew the Lozenge Revenger before I became an engineer and would get irked by such things, but, the twin big-zap is a gentle reminder that in OG Rouge Turnover the big zap needed a turn to recharge, so the idea was these things would alternate over and under each round, making them a wee bit dangerous, although they could fire all four at once should the need arise. I might not be remembering that right but my 1st ed Range Trader is deep in dad's attic and if I extract it, he'll have me take the entire box home with me, and that's an entire box full of 1st and 2nd edition books I have no current use for except to withdraw ye olde trivia from. That includes both Realm of Chaos hardbacks, both signed by Rick Priestly, I am not above gloating. Or bloating. I remain opposed to boating, however. From the Library of the Archives of the Legends of the Scouse Marines... Auricus You never forget it. Lentillian Sir? Auricus The smell of battle. The scent of war. The acid bite of death. Lentillian I think that's the latrines, sir, they've just given them a dose of bleach. Auricus Beyond that, Sergeant, a deeper malodorous stench. Lentillian Right, sir, stench of death. With a subtle hue of pine, sir. Auricus There's no romance in your soul, Sergeant. Lentillian I'd hope not, sir, I'm not fond of the Asteroids Medicawhatsits, sir. Auricus It's a metaphor. Lentillian Sounds like it, sir, probably terminal, sir. Auricus Well, there's no time to waste. This Necron horde is growing in power every minute. Charge up the las-cannons, Bertie, we've got robots to kill. Lentillian Right-oh, boss. They're on medium heat. Of course, they're sorta dead already, aren't they, sir? Auricus Not dead enough. Lentillian Right, right, sir. Only they're robots, aren't they? Robot's aren't alive at all, that's what they told me in Mechanicus school, sir. Auricus These ones are special. Lentillian I'm not complaining, mind you, I'd not bothered what we're shooting at, exactly. Just tell me what colour's on the menu today and I'll burn it away regardless, sir. Auricus Anything glowing green. Lentillian Green glow, yes, sir, easy peasy, lemon squeezy. Spot 'em one point six kilometres off, sir. Auricus These ones are relentless, Bertie. Lentillian Relentless robots, yes, sir. Auricus They don't feel pain, Bertie. They're out there. They can't be bargained with, reasoned with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear, and they absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead. Lentillian That reminds me of something, sir. Auricus Yes, well. Lentillian It's all far above my pay grade, sir. These las-cannons, sir… Auricus What is it, Sergeant? Lentillian They're not charging, sir. Auricus That's a problem. Lentillian I'll just pop out and check the cable's plugged in. Auricus As you like, Sergeant. Greene Ah, sir? Commander, sir? Auricus Yes, corporal? Greene The power block has failed a bit, sir. Auricus Failed… …a bit? Greene Well, there's no power at all, sir, so, it has failed, sir. Sorry, sir. Lentillian Uh, sir, I'm sorry to report on the las-cannons, sir… Auricus Don't tell me… Lentillian They're not entirely attached to the blessed machine, sir. Greene …and the engine's gone, too, sir. Auricus The engine is missing? Greene Yes, sir, even the frame mounting bolts. Auricus Do you mean to tell me that in the last ten minutes we've been parked here, someone has stolen all four laser cannon, AND the entire engine block, from this armoured battle tank, and neither of you noticed? Lentillian And the proximity sensors, sir. Auricus Well, obviously. I checked the Order of Battle, Bertie, we're four hundred kilometres away from the deployment zone for the Liver Birds chapter… Lentillian May I see that sir? Auricus Very well, there you go. Lentillian Ah, that's the problem, sir, if I might be so bold, sir. Auricus Do feel free to enlighten me, Sergeant. Lentillian See, what they've done, sir, I think, is draw a big circle on this map, sir, to confuse you into thinking they were deploying over here, instead of here, where we are, sir. Auricus How can you tell? Lentillian Well, sir, tactical and strategic battle topology documents are produced by the Adeptus Cartorius, and printed on laminated wrinkle-resistant sheeting by embedding ultra-contrast quasi-static molecular dyes, sir… Auricus …yes? Lentillian Well, that bit's written in biro, sir.

Say thanks to the Lady Wife for being such a good sport……… and lending you a brush

I loved those old early 90s models. The rules were easier, the Dark Angles were painted black, the primarchs were never the same between any two lores.

Well, that's next year's Eurovision sorted then! A pleasant surprise in my recommendations - thank you.I've always loved the original RT land raider but, like yourself, was (just) too late to purchase one from GW. However, I did manage to score one on ebay a year or so ago for a very reasonable price. I've stripped it down an cleaned it up but can't bring myself to paint it (think drinking vintage wine - once you've popped the cork.....). I was looking to get the Forgeworld Proteus but held out when they announced the Horus Heresy one. Unfortunately, this left me disappointed as the profile was more akin to the 40k land raider than the RT one. This 3d print looks bang on so will definitely check it out (may be the push I need to get the printer!!!) Thanks again 😊

It was nearly thirty years ago, but I want to say the actual kit had a tread gap problem.

i love that binary XD

Thank you for this presentation. I have ''liked'' and saved it as a reference for later. I have a couple of old Ebay Mk1's , well 1 1/2 really , that I have big plans for at some point in the far future ,probably around the year 40 K. (I guess I missed my previous 2000AD deadline ) . The better one of the two I intend to do as ''box art'' so I hope you don't mind if I copy your homework. You model really looks nice .

I think we need the recipe for Juice o‘ Kraken 😂

I had 3, but sold one to my friend for 20€ last year because he deserved one. Rogue Trader models were affordable in the early 2010's.

😂😂😂😂 Loving the wife inject sections

The Machine Spirit will protect me.

I have 4 of these sat in boxes upstairs and I don't even play 40k anymore. Should probablky sellt hem

Sir, would you like a Blood Angel shoddily painted 2nd edition Warhammer 40k tactical squad, and also a terminator squad (oooh lead), purchased and painted circa 1995/96. And a GW carry case too! Your vidz are very nostalgic, and you have a voice for radio mate, for realz. Cheers, John.

jeah i know, i am an old fart, but honestly, i really love and prefer the bright colourful style of the 90ies. It looked much better and more comic style, than nowadays depressing dark colour shemes.

Doing rogue trader days, you got two land raiders for 60 dollars

They were so heinous lol

The diddy epic scale ones did 2d6 damage if you stepped on them barefoot

I had one of these. Can't remember what happened to it

Now to grab my banjo and flesh this tune out lol

I think I might have some from when they came 2 to a box... Somewhere...

that boy is so chonky compared to its modern day counterpart.

the song gives me Ashens vibes...

Good old Arkhan Land

Looks amazing! How come you couldn't get a land raider kit at your local shop back in the day?

Turn Signals on a Landraider !

I couldn't tell it was resin. Does that chap take orders for parts? I'm missing a few bits for my Land Raider.

I think this youtube channel has taken a slightly surreal turn.... in the next video I expect to see a giant and a dwarf in a red room speaking backwards while painting a kitbashed khorne deamon called bobby.

This is pretty good, this sizing goes in the opposite way for me though, I always wanted to make upsized vehicles and downsized marines so they could conceivably fit together. I hate that when you dismount marines the door goes from their knees to chest.

Thats not a tank thats a tonk

58.964 views ! since 16.11.2023 in 4 Month !!! YOU make so many happy, a HappyMaker you are =) ...HappyMaker come, bing us new stuff HappyMaker come, bring us a new song e...

For me the red bits look a bit "too red". Think the original paint was a bit lighter and had more orange shade.

I think you’ll find it’s pronounced “Catachan”.

wait... isn´t this the ost of snoot game?

Are you sure that is a Coffee stain and not a Recaf stain?

The chunky boy

Are people still paying stupid prices for 1980's Land Raiders on eBay? They can't be that rare, I've got at least four of the damn things in the attic. 3D printing is the future!

Hope you remain to busy with work and painting to write any more songs😮

It look so goofy

Apparently it's "Land's raider." Hey, I don't make the rules.

You mean Land's Raider?!?
