Warhammer Restoration - 40k Space Marine 

If you enjoyed this video, consider supporting the channel at my Patreon patreon.com/maverickspaint I hope to one day teach and make content around minipainting as a full time job. Your support means a lot, so thanks! If you have a model thats in desperate need of restoration, message me on instagram instagram.com/maverickspaint/

This reminds me of a 4chan post, a guard player and his friend who played Dark Angels were one hell of a duo. Even when his friend was dying of cancer he proceed to give his guardsman friend his models before he passed, and up to the day he wrote the post he played a portion of his friends Dark Angels as a support and the stand in for his friend always had good rolls😢

painting minis saved my life. i suffer horrid depression and anxiety. when i paint, i feel nothing but the project at hand. in my hardest time my brother bought me a starter box of blood angels. ive drawn most my life and now i just paint figs. im obsessed but im also alive and forever thankful these pieces of plastic somehow bring me peace in a world filled with problems. thank you lucas, you saved me.

That’s a really cool idea, would love to see more Mav!

"Brother, you've pulled through yet again. The Rubicon Primaris is complete, you are now Primaris!"

You removed all that paint so well.. Would love to see a "how to"!

I can say, mini painting is such a good outlet for my stress and anxiety

I LOVE the little story you added to the restoration process, would LOVE to see more content like this! Your paintings are always breathtaking

Brought a little tear to my eye. May the Captain continue to serve. Well done.

Would 100% watch restorations.. Especially as I found my models from my childhood. Some I am keeping as they are as a reminder. Some are being touched up to show how I can make them look now

"And some of our worst" damn that really hit me. The amount of time I chose to isolate myself only to paint for hours to bring at least a slither of joy to my life, and they do. Always. Bless those tiny plastic things.

It always bring me joy painting models after a bad day at school, is really relaxing and it helps me with my struggles.

My heart sank when you put him in a jar. Things were about to get nasty

Cory did a good job on the original piece.

Really heartwarming! I wonder if you have a similar story restoring any of your old models?

I was suicidal and then found warhammer, the most fun I had in my entire life is listening to the audiobooks and making miniatures. True zen and thank you to the community.

It’s honestly a little touching to see someone this passionate about something they enjoy doing, on go man this is great!

Every time I see this video... absolute chills. You paint so well, and I live what you do. Keep it up!

I like how you got Tom Hanks to narrate...

Bro, that job looks real nice.

I’ve liked your videos for a while, and I’m glad I rewatched this one again. The paint jobs are always awesome, but I think the Voiceover content is what really makes me like your videos. You have a great ability to find very thoughtful and heartfelt things to say when telling your stories, and I think that’s what makes me look forward to watching your videos

Man even before the restoration it looked like a damn good job. I wish I had that amount of dedication

Love this. What a sick paint job ❤❤❤

You can't start to imagine how much that resonates with me. Although I am, and always was, a CSM player, I was painting a friend's Dark Angels space marines, when my mum was in the ICU battling with cancer complications. She did not make it in the end, but in the haze of the next few days, I still recall painting miniatures to overcome my grief. The amount of psychotherapy painting provides, the seer focus and blocking everything outside for a few minutes or hours at end, cannot be explained.

👍👍 I can't believe how well that stripped! Awesome work, "painting as a gift" is one of my favourite ideas in this hobby 😊👌

Woah!!! Love the care and thought put into this. One of my friend’s sadly passed away and we use to play kill team every Saturday night. I haven’t been able to bring myself to play since and unfortunately my death guard army just sits now. You’re right to say they take care of us. They remind me of all of the good times I use to share with my friend.

Salute this dedicated Captain

The old designs are way cooler, but your painting is excellent!

The nerdiest but most satisfying thing ever ...

I love seeing these videos, it’s really neat seeing that before and after of the different artists work and even how the accidental wear is repaired

Would love to see more of this type of video! Super heartwarming

The paint job was incredible but it was the commentary that made me hit that Like button.

It would be amazing to see more videos like this

Took me a year to get this short but I am sure glad it came to my feed. Beautiful work and excellent craft.

please tell us your recipe for the green armour. And yes please more of this kind of content

I always like painting something for someone who cant. Wide eyes are all the thanks i ever needed

I’ve never seen zenithal highlights presented so well. Would love to see your technique for this.

This dude just legit made me rethink my perception towards all my models whether it be minis, tanks, or gunpla You’re right they deserve a lot more appreciation and care

What is it you used to remove the paint from the plastic?

Absolutely i love watching really cool looking models become absolute legends

I love this so much! Please could I ask for the paints used for the armour? Such a great colour

Oh absolutely do a series of this!! so cool to see a model evolve and get "promoted" sort of speak. Must be an even better feeling being the models owner.

Absolutely should! I just picked this hobby up a few weeks ago and now watch every paint video there is.

Holy shit. That was incredible! Amazing work! I bet your buddy is stoked!

That is some glow-up. I mean he already looked better than anything I've ever painted but damn you made him look epic!

I'd ALWAYS watch model restoration videos. Great idea, very satisfying.

I dont no nothin bout Warhammer 40k. But damm this is satisfying to watch and the results are impressive, keep it up

The little stories overlayed on the restoration are so wholesome. Really love this series!

I always see these models before the restoration and think “Wow they already look dope. Idk why they would want to have it repainted.” And then I see the after photos and it makes complete sense. Super badass.

I am getting back into the hobby after about a decade and I have always needed to brush up on my painting skills. More of these videos give me great ideas, but tutorials would be even better! Keep up the good work!!

It's beautiful. Very nice work

I'm absolutely don't know anything about 40k, but I'm a painter so every now and then some shorts or videos about painting these figurines (?) are recommended to me and i truly enjoyed it! 👍🏼

I'm just starting out painting minis and the steadiness in your hands is amazing to watch, ive never managed to have that level of perfection, even through making art in other forms. you are truly incredible at what you do sir

More videos like this please, I love Warhammer for it's lore, it makes me happy. But seeing the models brings it to life in a way. I don't want to say I know they're just plastic. The setting has me so enchanted it's...

This restore was legit man! The story part was fun too

Using Chaos Black is HERESY!!! No but all jokes aside, this is an amazing restoration!

I do restoration work myself, and it's lovely to see. If this means there will be more shorts on my list with this stuff, then please by all means keep em comming.

The narrative is just perfect.

Restoration videos are the best. I used to do a ton of armies but alas I got old. But watching them makes me love the hobby one more. Thanks!

For free? Beautiful job, your friend is definitely blessed!

That helmet upgrade hits different. That little fella earned that thing! Nice job!

God if I could just send you my Kriegsman, I don't know if I'd even want them back with how much love and dedication you put into every piece. I'd have to gift them. Amazing.

Wow, that was some day and night difference level painting. Good job

Thats an amazing restoration and I love the altruism. Keep up the good work sir!

Out of all the “nerdy” things I could’ve stumbled upon I’m glad it was Warhammer, so much lore and stuff to watch and read. I might pick up the models but I don’t have steady hands or the patience to make them look good 🤣

This makes me feel like I need to name all my Bladeguard. Those little dudes do work.

I've just took up painting again life long warhammer fan incredible restoration an thanks for some inspiration

Dude... painting minis is the only thing that keeps me in one piece lately.

The finished product is fantastic.

God my family and I started 40k recently... and figures are by far the coolest. Watching your videos makes us want to get some but only when the money is right. Appreciate you 🤙🏽

Unreal transformation , your friend is one blessed guy

I have tons of D&D tabletops that need restoration one day .but for now. Im glad just to still have them .

This is awesome I would watch many more videos like this if you were to continue as a series. Great work.

Honour to you battle brother!

Damn! That shield makes one hell of a statement with an enemy corpse mounted on it.

Ofc you should do more you can the joy in you soul when you presented it would love to see more

The mummy strapped to the shield is probably the coolest thing ever… I really wanna get into Warhammer

Nice resto, great idea to revamp those old cormfort army pieces.

Love watching these videos they bring so much joy to paint again

I’ve never touched a model or even played the game but I love the lore and the art and work people put into them

So I’m now following you and never unfollowing these are amazing.

I just recently got into 40k from a buddy at work . Just started painting too! I love watching this content the how to’s and the restoration . Awesome work man keep it up

"BROTHER! WHY AM I IN THIE JAR?!"

Loved the paint job and the voice over.

I cant beleive he wanted to remove the paint, it looked awesome

That Captain has seen many, many battles. May he see many, many more 🫡

I would love to see a full company restored

You’ve actually convinced me to bring my older 5th Edition 12 year old me armies into my modern painting level, but I’ll keep some examples for keepsakes and case decorations.

The skill painting these is amazing.

I think this is awesome as someone new to painting models I think it is cool how delicate you are with the brush

So i dont play warhammer, but i do make custom figures. And what you said about owing them appreciate is so true. I've had some god-awful days where once i got home, i sat down, prepped parts, and began to paint. It's relaxing and helps you forget bad stressful days.

Your friend is very lucky you would do this for him.

Cory's model looks 200x better than anything I can put out...

Not a gamer, but i LOVE THESE! Incredible talent in painting miniatures. I carve in miniature, and have debated on atte.pting a few like this, to see if people would enjoy something like this, done in bone...

You have fought well brother, yet your fight is not yet over

I watched this specific vid like 9 times because the speech that he gives brings tears to my eyes lol

Can’t lie that looks awesome I would love to see u paint flesh tearers tho

Ive been thinking about doing stuff like this to some of my sisters, and also some of my old warmachine models. But this videos are AWESOME for painting motivation. Thank you man! More please!

Damn your miniatures Always Looks so beautiful...insane Love it

Very cool. I love seeing things people like and collect.
