It must have been amazing to find your old Dreadnaught again. I have really enjoyed watching you paint, throughout the year. I have said this before, but I am so glad that I found this channel, and you have inspired me to pick up the brush again, and do some miniature painting of my own. I hope you have a wonderful New Year, and I can't wait to see what projects you have for next year.
Its so satisfying to have mates who understand the need for complete sets and are ready to share hard to find parts. I benefitted from this when I was desperate for a brakkar ratskin figure. It was like golddust in new zealand but a friend in sweden answered my plea and now i am a proud owner. Life can be wonderful at times 😊
My favorite army was Paul Sawyers White Scars at the start of 3rd. Incredible force. If I was to recreate a force from that era, thats what I would try.
The oods of actually finding a model you sold all those years ago, let alone being able to buy it back must be astronomical. The Emperor has fated this event. Its going to be most excellent watching you return this mighty model to his original home. 😊 Annd i like that Mrs Miniscapeis getting into your army. 😂 Happy New Year mate. 👍
🥰 I also saw about 20 infantry of mine for sale on eBay last year but I didn't buy those. They went for a reasonable price though. I hope my guys are bringing happiness to some hobbyist somewhere
I've had a Chaos Space Marine army that I've had lying around for forever now, but I'm going to set a goal for myself to get them finished in 2025. I could never decide what faction to paint them as, but I think I've finally settled on the Red Corsairs. Thanks for showing us your retro Warhammer painting journey. You truly inspire me and many others in this hobby and I look forward to a new year of Miniscape videos with painting and songs.
I love all your videos man, your voice is calming and I loved Warhammer for years but the retro marines are a different feel in a beautiful way. Thank you for showing this off
Ive got an entire chaos army from the 90's that hasnt been anywhere near a paintbrush, that i've been adding to over the last year! One day i'll paint it, probably when the kids have grown up a bit! On a separate note, i'm sure your missus was one of the voicemail messages on the new wallace and gromit film!!
I do not want to make unpolite remarks about anyone enjoying the warhammer hobby. And especially not about the way younger people enjoing it. But i have to admit, this "self written Oldhammer songs"-thingy is my specific little corner of the Internet, i want to enjoy. :D
Proper trust the process channel and videos Love this culmination of these videos to get to the supremacy force and I hope you’re proud of your self for achieving a dream because I think I can speak for all of us when I say we are of you!
I've seen this box on the shelf so many times and I always figured that if I'd start a marines army, this would be my start. I never got around to it because Orks were my jam. But it is so good to see these come together. Pure nostalgia feeling. And a song of course. Have a wonderful New Year!
Cheers to you coming into my sub box for 2024, haven't missed a single video, and I'm inspired to paint my oldhammer every time. I'm not quite a 2nd ed guy but you've inspired me to work on my 3rd ed Dark Angels for an event next year in Melbourne AUS (1000 kilometres from me in Adelaide)
Great work friend, they look impressive. Watching your videos is like having a friend that shares my love for the nostalgic minis of the past. Im going to try to focus on my 2nd ed Ultras and Tyranids in the new year.
Greetings and Seasons Salutations! It´s been a privilege to watch your progress with this project. I have quite lot of Space Marines from this period and your content is greatly appreciated. I hope much more is forthcoming. My best wishes to you and yours in the coming year, Billi.
I have enjoyed watching you paint this year. Like others here you have influenced me to pick up the brush and paint again. May you have happy holidays and a great 2025.
17:00 - I have made sure to watch every video, in full, drop likes, and I try to comment on most of them. Love the content Matthew. Regarding projects: • I don't paint or collect Warhammer. I let you do thay and live vicariously through these videos. • However, I like to customize transformers toys with panel lining and other details in areas which don't rub during transformation. • Similar to how you are building armies of your dreams, I am slowly finding and collecting the Battletech Mechwarrior Clix armies of my dreams from 2002-2006, which is especially difficult when living in South America. • All that being said, I like to work on terrain for my Mechwarrior clix models to fight on, over, and through. Happy New Year. Blessings to you, Mrs. Minisodes, and the rest of your family.
It's always interesting to see yourself reflected in a complete stranger from another world, but the reflection is of just a really specific 3-5 year period of my youth, and at this point is more a set of sense memories of the microcosm that is the wargaming hobby.
Amazing video as always. I first pressed for a nostalgia hit (your Abaddon video I believe), I stay for the songs and I keep returning for the down to earth presentation from genuine hobbyist. Much love brother.
Man, you’ve inspired me to begin the Legion of the Damned army I’ve always yearned for as a kid.. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.. Thanks for the ace content.. Your excellent skills mixed with your laconic laid back style,and not to mention song writing ability 😂 makes watching content you produce most enjoyable..
Truly been enjoying your videos of late. I appreciate the subtle humour, and the paint jobs are amazing. It's inspiring me to want to work on the firstborn elements of my own Space Marine army, particularly the bikers, as it finally clicked for me that the best way to get bikers with plasma guns would be to use the appropriate sculpt. Thank you for the video, and looking forward to more from you in the future!
I’m glad I found your Chanel around the start of the year, it was very fun to watch your Chanel grow and the supremacy force slowly be completed. I’ve taken notes on how you’ve don’t free handing. And faces. I’m currently away from home for work and have been for a while, but your channel and ones like it have me itching to get back to brushing and pushing pigments. Two big projects in mind, my imperial guard army that’s totally not secretly genestealers… and plans to acquire a warhound Titan and paint it up with lots and lots of free hand. Some what inspired by your songs I even wrote a poem I plan to free hand onto the titans shin. I’ll leave an update on weather I hate myself for deciding to do so later. Cheers and happy new year
Awesome dude it’s so nice to see a project finished especially one I dreamed of doing as a kid. Also I just want to say thanks to you because over the last year your videos have helped me by inspiring me and keeping me company through some of my own hobby projects. While slightly different in scale my 5000 points of epic imperial fists are nearly finished (couple of storm eagles and thunderhawks to finish) and I’ve painted 2000 points of epic world eaters too. So here’s too 2025 and projects new. Cheers dude
Thanks for the content, I’ve found it inspiring. From the beginning of 2024 I’ve collected over 40 chaos Oldhammer models including wizards, warriors and iconic champions, as well as several ogres, minotaurs, plague bearers and all sorts of early chaos dwarves before they all sprouted tusks. It’s basically what I used to collect when I first started and it’s already a daunting collection so I’ve sworn no more till I’ve painted over half of what I already have. This could take a while as I’m still pretty crap when it comes to painting them, been practicing on Heroquest minis till I take the plunge.
My one mini painting goal this year was improving at painting NMM and, well, I've seen some improvement. This makes me happy. Your wife is FUNNY! She always comes off like she's Not Having It even when she's being silly, like in this video.
Supreme! Totally agree about seeing an army lined up (just like in the box art photo) - I think you for making this video to wrap up the project. I wish others would do the same with their great hobby achievements.
My hobby goals are to finish a Dutch colonial militia for blood and plunder and to paint 1000+ Carthaginians for 2026 Historicon. My friends and I will be hosting a Greco-Punic war game for the convention. You're very inspiring, maybe once I'm finished with my to-do list I'll paint my 90s 40k army. Lovely work.
Nice little round up on a great project. 👍 I've so many projects for this year. Updating Murderfang, using a Brutalis and Space Wolves Venerable dreadnaught kit is definitely one. Found a bunch of Rogue Trader Ork Boys in the attic a while ago. Wouldn't mind painting one for each of the six main clans. Best laid plans and all that. Hope you had a great Christmas, here's to a great New Year. And happy to be one of your "elites"! Lol
I am new to the hobby, and I find these old 40k minis and old codexs fascinating. I am very interested to see what or not changed over the editions. So, thanks for sharing your experience with the hobby! AND your singing is very nice 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Well done mate. I’m super jealous of you realising the same childhood hobby dream. I look forward to your 2025 hobby project. You had me at driving license for terminator armour.
Thank very much for all the awesome videos and songs to go along with them🎶🎶🎶 as for me I just stripped my Eldar army from yellow and blue. Now that I know the directions I want to go, I’m going to go full Ynnari. I was going to do Altansar but I love the lore of the Ynnari. Also get to play with all the models I loved back in 3rd edition. Also younger me would have been thrilled to have over 30 Wraiths, which were my favorite when I first started collecting. Oh and space clowns, can’t forget about them
@Miniscape-wh40k that Is what I was stuck on for a long time. I painted them one way because I wanted to play Wraiths And certain additions meant if you painted them a certain way you could take more and they would get buffs but now I just want to paint them the way I want to. Finally I get to complete an army I've been wanting to do since I was a kid. As for a Craftworld, Altansar is pretty awesome. I painted mine as iyanden and just couldn't get the yellow the way I wanted. So now time for Ynnari and adding my own spin
I’ve been I big fan of your channel for a while now, I love the aesthetic of your painting style. I can’t wait to see what you do in 2025! Best of luck to you!
The Imperial fists look great! Like many other I remember seeing this on the game store shelves and thinking Too rich for my blood... Your painting has gotten so much better and I am looking forward to the next project! I am working on a SM Minitour strike force. The whole army is cobbled together from lots of different kits so it defiantly has a unique look to it. Anyway I also have Minis to paint. Till next time. Happy New Year! :)
I've been doing similar work to complete old projects and denude my pile of shame over the last few years. My proudest moment was painting the second half of my BFG fleet, that had sat in a box for 22 years.
Been watching your videos and now I just subscribed. Love your stuff man. Please keep them coming. I got 60 primaris and 20 regular marines setting on the table and a Ballistia dreadnought that I'm struggling with . Can't decide on a scheme!
Congrats! It’s neat to see your excitement and joy over a dream realized. Gav Thorpe is one of my favorite WH authors. His writings on the dwarves in Masters of Stone and Steel is some of my favorite literature.
You can tell from the effort you've put into these minis that you really do love these models. My Eldar long for the day they can give them the heroic death they deserve. 😊
Awesome to see the complete set all done finally, it's been a fun ride no doubt. It's entirely possible that this is my ravenwing-centric worldview if you will, but am i the only one who is particularly annoyed with the decision to put in 5 bikes instead of 6 in this otherwise awesome set? It just seems like such a trollish thing to do lol, one more bike would've given you the option to field them as two squads of 3 and be twice as capable of hit-and-run shenanigans with these, and i mean, sure, you could've just bought a single bike or the 3 bike box or an attack bike but still....i think this set would've gone from awesome to perfect with just that extra bike to give you that potential extra squad to deploy. Thank you for another great year of top-notch content, Matthew, and please get back to that dreadnought asap, the black reach/vedros set is one that is near and dear to me since it's been at the core of building both my orks (who got by far the most use out of it), and also my dark angels (although i then added a couple of sets of dark vengeance to really bring them up to snuff), so any chance to spotlight models from that era like the dreadnought is always fun, especially with your personal experience in rebuying it years later and all that lol. Best to you and the rest of the miniscape clan in the new year! Cheers!
Love the video, the channel and your yellow boys! Hoping to get my the Lamenters army I built in 2024 painted up plus my Misters of Battle (my Novitiate kill team made up of old metal and custom built Ecclisarchy bishops and priests.)
My wife has rebought my 1996 christmas present for our anniversary, 2nd Edition starter set. Combine with the Black Reach starter I bought in 2010, the Dark Vengeance starter set and some others I am aiming to complete the 3rd company of the Dark Angels with some deathwing, Ravenwing, Scouts and all main characters. Just had a metal 2nd edition apothacary delivered.
I am currently undertaking my second edition Space Hulk old hammer terminators. I picked up the Space Hulk campaign book at a yard sale for 50 cents which still had the game tiles in the back of the book and that sparked me reacquiring the game and expansion boxes. I also bought advanced space Crusade, 25 imperial guards, 15 chaos terminators, 50 regular space marines, 15 orks, 36 genestealers, and 20 cultus to play the grand campaign in the back of the book with all the bells and whistles. I am in my eleventh year of buying, building and painting. I think my wife is starting to come around to the fact that she married a nerd with poor spending habits.
I am one of those people just like Gav Thorpe... I always name all my squads and characters when making a list and I have background for all my characters. Fluff is one of the main reasons I collect and play miniatures games.
Ah, as someone who started out with Space Crusade I always had a special place for the Fists in my heart. When I then started doing 40k proper I pained one Fist and ran away screaming because I couldn't do yellow. I long since stepped away from painting, but I have an assault squad, a Predator and the old metal command squad on a shelf somewhere and maybe if I ever pick up a brush again, it'll be yellow.
I quite liked this set when it came out, but it was out of my budget. A few years ago I bought the captain by itself, with his Imperial Fists heraldry. I'm considering painting him as a Crimson Fist.
@Miniscape-wh40k i think it's a funny quirk. Maybe they survived from a tactical squad and were used to reinforce the assault squad on bikes. I think its really great you got to put this together.
That dreadnought must be destined for great things
I hope so
It must have been amazing to find your old Dreadnaught again.
I have really enjoyed watching you paint, throughout the year.
I have said this before, but I am so glad that I found this channel, and you have inspired me to pick up the brush again, and do some miniature painting of my own.

I have LOVED watching every one of these videos and I’m happy to see you finish what you set out for. Congratulations!!
Man i love imperial fists and they way you paint them is great
Thank you buddy
Your videos are a absolute joy to watch thanks for making them
You're welcome
8:04 - Mrs. Miniscape has a point. Looks like you need to make some more terrain. Especially those hills in the back.
Look forward to that very special repaint next year, lost no more, the venerated battle brother returns home. Priceless.
🤩
This man’s narration is the Warhammer ASMR that I need right before bed. Thank you for all your wonderful videos
Yes I have been known to bore people to sleep 😉
I've had a Chaos Space Marine army that I've had lying around for forever now, but I'm going to set a goal for myself to get them finished in 2025.

I am glad I have a use. Red corsairs sound great. Best of luck with your project.
@Miniscape-wh40k Thanks and best of luck on your future projects too
I dreamed of owning this, congrats on what youve achieved.
That back banner on the chaplain looks great it looks exactly like the sticker. Also, the skit with Mrs miniscape was cute.
😁
I love all your videos man, your voice is calming and I loved Warhammer for years but the retro marines are a different feel in a beautiful way. Thank you for showing this off
You are too kind
Really cool to see this project from start to finish. I'm glad you were able to finally achieve that childhood dream.
Matt, three videos in a week! You're on fire!
Gonna be hard to top this for the holidays in 2025! 😄
It is indeed (I prefer Matthew btw)
@Miniscape-wh40k Matthew it is then! 😄
Your channel reminds me why I fell in love with Warhammer 40,000 nearly 30 years ago.
Wonderful
He did it, this maniac REALLY DID IT!!! MUAHAHAHAHA!
ITS ALIVE!!!!
Your channel is fantastic! Thank you for all the fun times
You're welcome 🤗
Ive got an entire chaos army from the 90's that hasnt been anywhere near a paintbrush, that i've been adding to over the last year! One day i'll paint it, probably when the kids have grown up a bit!
On a separate note, i'm sure your missus was one of the voicemail messages on the new wallace and gromit film!!
If she was, this is the first I have heard of it
I do not want to make unpolite remarks about anyone enjoying the warhammer hobby. And especially not about the way younger people enjoing it. But i have to admit, this "self written Oldhammer songs"-thingy is my specific little corner of the Internet, i want to enjoy. :D
I am glad you have your corner. I'll do my best to keep doing my thing.
@@Miniscape-wh40k incredibly based.
In goblin green, naturally

It's always a pleasure to watch your videos, thank you for doing what you do.

Thanks for the sub. Good luck with your project. Sorry I can't help you decide on a scheme. But I would recommend one you will enjoy painting.
Congrats! It’s neat to see your excitement and joy over a dream realized.
Gav Thorpe is one of my favorite WH authors. His writings on the dwarves in Masters of Stone and Steel is some of my favorite literature.
You can tell from the effort you've put into these minis that you really do love these models.
My Eldar long for the day they can give them the heroic death they deserve. 😊
That's fighting talk. Thanks mate.
OH YEAH!!!
Keep it up dude!
White Dwarf 236 was an absolute banger! Mine is all mangled because I read through it so much
Awesome to see the complete set all done finally, it's been a fun ride no doubt.
It's entirely possible that this is my ravenwing-centric worldview if you will, but am i the only one who is particularly annoyed with the decision to put in 5 bikes instead of 6 in this otherwise awesome set? It just seems like such a trollish thing to do lol, one more bike would've given you the option to field them as two squads of 3 and be twice as capable of hit-and-run shenanigans with these, and i mean, sure, you could've just bought a single bike or the 3 bike box or an attack bike but still....i think this set would've gone from awesome to perfect with just that extra bike to give you that potential extra squad to deploy.
Thank you for another great year of top-notch content, Matthew, and please get back to that dreadnought asap, the black reach/vedros set is one that is near and dear to me since it's been at the core of building both my orks (who got by far the most use out of it), and also my dark angels (although i then added a couple of sets of dark vengeance to really bring them up to snuff), so any chance to spotlight models from that era like the dreadnought is always fun, especially with your personal experience in rebuying it years later and all that lol.
Best to you and the rest of the miniscape clan in the new year! Cheers!
I never considered the bike issue. I am but a simple thinker. Don't worry the dread will get done.
Sat at the breakfast bar eating chestnuts watching this, good times
Nice!
Would love to see a 2nd Edition battle report with this force. :)
So would I!
Love the video, the channel and your yellow boys! Hoping to get my the Lamenters army I built in 2024 painted up plus my Misters of Battle (my Novitiate kill team made up of old metal and custom built Ecclisarchy bishops and priests.)
Thank you for sharing your art in it's many forms! I wish you a delightful 2025!
Thanks, my pleasure, you too
My wife has rebought my 1996 christmas present for our anniversary, 2nd Edition starter set.
Combine with the Black Reach starter I bought in 2010, the Dark Vengeance starter set and some others I am aiming to complete the 3rd company of the Dark Angels with some deathwing, Ravenwing, Scouts and all main characters. Just had a metal 2nd edition apothacary delivered.
Sounds great
What are those loaner marines called? Deathwatch? Perhaps the Dread can be painted as a marine which has returned from Deathwatch duty.
Not a bad idea
Keep up the good work matey
I am currently undertaking my second edition Space Hulk old hammer terminators. I picked up the Space Hulk campaign book at a yard sale for 50 cents which still had the game tiles in the back of the book and that sparked me reacquiring the game and expansion boxes. I also bought advanced space Crusade, 25 imperial guards, 15 chaos terminators, 50 regular space marines, 15 orks, 36 genestealers, and 20 cultus to play the grand campaign in the back of the book with all the bells and whistles. I am in my eleventh year of buying, building and painting. I think my wife is starting to come around to the fact that she married a nerd with poor spending habits.
Ha. Best of luck with your project.
I am one of those people just like Gav Thorpe... I always name all my squads and characters when making a list and I have background for all my characters.
Fluff is one of the main reasons I collect and play miniatures games.
Fun fact, While watching this video I finished my goal of painting a 1000 points of Iron Hands
Well done sir
Ah, as someone who started out with Space Crusade I always had a special place for the Fists in my heart. When I then started doing 40k proper I pained one Fist and ran away screaming because I couldn't do yellow.
I long since stepped away from painting, but I have an assault squad, a Predator and the old metal command squad on a shelf somewhere and maybe if I ever pick up a brush again, it'll be yellow.
I hope you will pick up the brush again
Primarch progenitor, to your glory, and to the glory of Him on Terra!
I quite liked this set when it came out, but it was out of my budget. A few years ago I bought the captain by itself, with his Imperial Fists heraldry. I'm considering painting him as a Crimson Fist.
Good idea 💯
Great song! Not too long. Didn't think it was wrong
Many people do. Some of them tell me 😮
Thank you for all the content in 2024. And you know what? I will paint my 3000+ points of Salamanders in 2025!
Yes you will. Cheers.
Imperial Fists Space Marines. The Space Marines that Fist Imperially.
man, I can't imagine the satisfaction you felt when you bought your figures back.
I paid a premium, let me tell you
well done m8 they look ace!
Thank you
oh nice. perfect timing :D
A boomerang dreddy ? ! ?
Love it what are the odds ? ? ?
Can't wait to see the dreaddy.
It’s the songs to be honest. That’s why we keep coming back. You’re the Tom jones of Warhammer!
The watch percentage for my songs is poor, just to inform you
15:39 gak! some of those bikers have tactical arrows on the shoulder instead of the assault cross?
Oops. Funny the things you never notice.
@Miniscape-wh40k i think it's a funny quirk. Maybe they survived from a tactical squad and were used to reinforce the assault squad on bikes. I think its really great you got to put this together.
Merry chrimbo dude.
Them some good looking yellow lads. I have a lot of projects in the works, but I'm gonna try to get one fully painted, one unit at a time.
Sounds like a plan ☺️
