- "GAME OVER MAN!"
This week, driven by a vast alien intellect from the coldest depths of the void and devouring everything in my path (mainly pizza), I painted as many retro Tyranid bioforms as possible!
Music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio - Ігри
What an intro! Absolutely brilliant! Amazing to see these classic ‘nids painted up and looking so good. Another amazing video pal, they just keeping hitting all the right notes.
The original plastic warriors are, to this day, still probably my favourite Tyranid design. You have to add 2e Screamer Killer for sure, a Genestealer Patriarch would be a cool addition too.
Good luck finding a patriarch! That thing is rare as all hell. I only know about two guys who have on in their collection. One of which had it since it originally released.
This paint job absolutely nails the 2nd Ed look 😎
When people talk about "X edition look" is this in reference to the colour schemes, or the blends and techniques used?
@@Quitchy For me, it is mainly the colour scheme. Eye-popping colours and lots of them. 😲
Pizza, beer, and painting makes for an amazing day! That looked like an absolute blast
It’s quite funny how people in the UK truly believe that drinking neurotoxic ethanol makes everything better 😂
@@ObjectiveMedia Not just the UK, drinking poison is fun in the USA too!
Loved every second of this video. Top acting. Top filming. Top painting. Top models. You've truly nailed it here!
Man, old nids really looked derpy huh lol. Always interesting to see how completely different things from decades ago looked compared to now.
Love the old Tyranid warrior models, they are so hard to get hold of tho!
I get genuinely excited by these videos. Would love to see these in a battle report. Excellent work. They look great.
That's so great to hear John Paul! Thanks so much 😊
Such a good army.
PLEASE do more battle reports! They are so good!!!
Lets rock...... 💥💥💥💥💥💥
Great looking forces there.
Yes. They have come out really nicely
Your Corporal Hicks is on point! :D also, beer, pizza, good company and some painting is a great way to spend the evening
Heck yeah!
That intro is gold! 💯
That opening scene was brilliant, and the scheme turned out lovely! Keep the quality content coming :)
Thanks Stefan! I'll endeavour to! 😎
So so so so good!! SO GOOD!!
I was telling my 10 year old son all about 2nd edition today, Tyranids in particular!!
Nostalgia man!! 🥲
This channel is something special, such a great vision!
Very kind of you! Thank you 🐈
My dream 40k army alongside a gang of OG Squat Bikers.
I'm old enough to remember when plastic Termagants were a new thing. They hold up really well I think, and their scale is more accurate.
Bro, you win the internet with that intro! ❤️👍🤣🍻
These old sculpts took to contrast surprisingly well!
Fantastic looking army - what a spectacle!
Right in the childhood. Amazing job!
😂 what a brilliant intro, love your videos and the focus on 2nd edition.
That hive Tyrant model is just chefs kiss, great work
absolutely incredible that on top of all this painting you created life-sized but soulless biomechanical replicas of yourself and your friend to perform in this video, that handshake was the scream of the natural order in agony
Good stuff dude, you earned a sub
These turned out looking great.
Superb brighthammer paint job. Fantastic work on the intro as well.
that intro was wonderful
Man your videos rock. I absolutely love the intro, but you genuinely make me want to finish my shame piles, as well as introduce more of my friends to Old-hammer and the hobby in general. Keep it up!
At one point I had every single model shown in this video. Sometimes I regret selling my collection.
Yo! These old school projects are getting better and better. There's nothing like drinking some beers and painting up some models with a homie. The intro was sweet too.
If you can find one, an old Screamer Killer or one of the old creepy little spider Biovores would be tight as hell to see alongside your bugs. Keep up the good work my man.
Thanks Jubb! Rest assured, I have acquired a Screamer Killer and he will be joining the Behemoth force soon. 😎
Just recently found your channel man and I love it so far, Keep up the AWESOME Battle Reports and the great mini painting videos like this!
Nice! I still have a tyranids army made of a mix of 2nd (mostly), 3rd and 4th edition models
Three generations of biomorphs in one army?! Awesome 👍
Hell Yes! Another killer vid🎉
Excellent comrade, the hive mind would be proud
I usually hate skits but this one made me chuckle
Great opener, scarey infestation. Nice start to a classic Nid force, old sculpts still look good and fresh with a 21st century lick of redesigned paint. Of all the weird bugs you can add, I look forward to the zoanthrope, I think its the strangest version.
I like your long haired Gyrinx.
Retro models painted using modern paints is arguably the most satisfying thing to experience in the 21st century
That, and sourdough pizza.
Really love this content! Looking forward to seeing these guys in a battle report!
Me too! Just need to get those 'stealers done and then we'll see...
You've done it again, great work on the video. Nailed that intro, that cycle helmet hahaha.
Zoanthrope next I reckon. Can't wait fella!
These look incredible❤
Spot on Bill Paxton there. love it.
This is BRILLIANT!! I always loved the metal genestelaers they always looked so odd and well that was the point ha great stuff and the intro ha (the poor cat)
Absolutely killer intro!
This is exactly what im doing with my leviathan set nids :)
the marine side is adding to my just started scythes of the emperors force (getting back into hobby after 10 years or so)
going as oldhammer as possible but with modern models :)
I have been having the same thoughts! Emperor's Scythes for the win!
I hope we get to see these bad boys in action.
Great video. I love the old school miniatures. Perversely, "chitin" is pronounced 'KITE - in'. I always thought those old Warriors were kind of goofy looking, they look great the way you did them. Game on!
loved that intro and those tyranids are really good too cant wait for more of your content!
I miss 2nd edition. It's where I got started and the edition I played the most aside from maybe 4th. In every edition since, adulthood preventing me from playing much. It wasn't uncommon in the last 20 years for me to get barely 10 or 15 games in before the next edition would release. I also miss the simplicity of 2nd. Sure, the RULES were a bit clunky (a product of its time) but the ARMIES were so much slimer in rules and units.
Absolutely class, I am loving these videos and there intros
Another great video mate. Keep them coming 👌
This is pure inspiration for me! Keep it up man! Your videos are amazing!
I remember my first introduction to Warhammer 40k…it was amazing
Love the old nid designs. Can’t wait to finish my 2nd Ed blood angels so I can start on these freaky nightmares myself.
Heck yes. Join the path.
@@edpaintsminis Iv managed to gather quite a substantial nid force and the start of a cult army with enthroned patriarch, which I’m planning on scratch building a pope mobile/ limo for him.
Screamer/ Killer.. Most definatly.
If you can scare up an old school Armorcast Malefactor, that might be a close second... Otherwise add in the Carnie, and a Lictor.
I agree, add the Screamer Killer next.
Yes! I am most definitely in the market for a screamer killer!
Looking sick! Makes me want to grab some 2nd ed nids to go with my Hive tyrant too!
Amazing opening
that intro was pure kino!
Thanks for another great nostalgia hit mate 👍 I personally would love to see a classic Carnifex next - it’s the first thing that enters my mind when I remember 2nd edition Tyranids 🙂 your videos have given me the inspiration to get on and paint my own classic minis! Cheers!
Cheers MadDok! Awesome to hear! I just got my hands on a Carnifex - can't wait to paint the apoplectic orb up!
those warrior models look crazy!
Brilliant!
You.
Are.
The.
Man.
This intro is one of the best things I've ever seen! XD
Know what I love?
This shit. Right here.
Hell yeah!
Welcome to another Minisode🖌🗿
Welcome.
Look really cool, well done.
For a minute there I was worried tbat you were going to leave the chest armour off those Tyanid Warriors.
The force looks fantastic! I used to play Tyranids back in 2nd edition, my main advice is to gove everything that can take a Biomorph, a Voltage Field. Those things were nuts! +1 strength, 4++ save, and can burn out enemy power fields, all for 20pts... yes please!
Would be good to add some of the classic Hormagants, the 2nd edition models have a look to them that has sadly been lost with the 3rd edition redesign.
That darn voltage field is incredible on a Carnifex or Hive Tyrant! The cost does stack up though and I am also a fan of the 50pts limit that some people impose on all wargear and biomorphs - good way to keep the game somewhat balanced!
Oh yes I would love to get hold of some classic hormagaunts!
@edpaintsminis aye, I remember once putting the +1 Toughness on my Carnifex several times, thinknit was Toughness 9 in the end, immune to Heavy Bolters. Think it needed a lot of player consent to stop abuse like I mentioned. In my defence I was young at the time!
best. intro. ever.
I'm thinking about restoring a bunch of retro marines I have. Most of them are still on 25mm bases, and some of the bases say they're from 1993 (I got them second hand as part of a lot)
Underrated channel. Keep it up!
Thanks Nichlas - will do! :)
Amazing! Fantastic intro and paint job! Would add Gargoyles next!
5:59 the most dangerous Nid ever
You have no idea. She has recently acquired the battlefield designation: Spike Bear.
Enjoyable video friend, your Tyranids look great! I am painting up some Ultramarines and Tyranids as well, unfortunately no one to share their glorious restoration with :D
YES! This is the best channel on the damn site.
Marvelous video, looking forward to even more oldhammer!
Would love to see the modern figs painted in this style.
2nd Edition Genestealers are my absolute favourite.
That intro :D
This pleases me
Great intro
Amazing intro!!!!
OMG the gribblies look amazing! Would love to see you do a battle report with these!
You won't have to wait too long...
I love oldhammer so much, glad there is a new channel making quality oldhammer videos
Is that the early 90s, MS-DOS version of Space Hulk playing in the background @ 1:08? I loved that game as a kid. Anyways, thanks for another wonderful video!
Absolutely! I had that bad boy on the Amiga 1200 and it was the bee's knees!
It's a pity that GW discontinued the original paint range gen1&2 as they were excellent for the Tyranids esp the pink and gore while worm purple was my go to for the genestealer hybrids wayyy back then it's good to see the ancient models get some decent attention
Warcolors, Nostalgia '88, paints have you covered and the newer Nostalgia '94, though Stahley over on a tailofpainters has reviewed them quite well so you know what you are buying and how they match up to modern paints and their paint technology. But look into Warcolors Nostalgia paint ranges.
Definitely the Screamer-Killer next.
very good use of contrast dude, congrats!
Wish you lived closer to Houston Texas. I’ve got a 2nd ed zoanthrope in the blister and a bunch of 2nd ed orks I could give you.
A very kind thought buddy! I'd love to get my mitts on a Zoanthrope! Thanks for the comment and your support 😊
Normally, I hate Contrast paints.
For these guys, though...
It's perfect for them. I'm in.
I have about 29 or so old school guys like this that need some love.
Excellent! Yeah they're perfect for these kind of models! Good luck!
Fun intro man, like the use of a bicycle helmet, i mean if you wanted to try and recreate a sequence from Final Liberation for an Epic box game vid i would be down with that XD the painting came out as good as i thought it would and praise James for helping out. Hope you can get some of those metal masterpieces in the future for not too much money.
Hope to see a dramatized battle report for the next video man but if its a painting one thats all good as well.
Aliens reference! Super like!
How amazing is this!? Always loved these classic 'nids, with their wacky looks and crazy colours. Great job painting them!
I've got a few of the rogue trader termagants, the ancient screamer-killer and a pile of those plastic genestealers from space hulk - Everything but the carnifex I use in my swarm today.
Just can't beat them.
Those are some lovely Tyranids. If the Hive Mind were capable of pride, it would be beaming with it.
2:15 - actual Chad painting some retrohammer
Add in a 2nd edition Carnifex, some Genestealers, Hormagants, and a Lictor and you will have the same Tyranid army I had in the late 90s. Quite fun. 2nd edition was a blast. I did 2000-2500 pt armies of Space Marines, Orks, Nids, Eldar, Chaos Marines, and Necrons. Hopefully you do a game with this army.
That's definitely the plan! Would be great to get them on the table soon. 😎
the intro was awesome
Sweet! More, please....
I still have nightmares of assembling the Lictor.
Super fun video!
Its great to see these early models painted as they should be .They are really quite awful in some ways but years later I find a charm in this . I stared gaming with the Tyranids 3rd edition starter army . A large outlay for a kid but a wonderful lot of stuff . It would be interesting if you did a battle report with these as I have no idea what they were like to play . Great work
Thanks The Gremlin! A batrep is definitely in the works - just a few more beasties to paint to bring them up to 1k and then we're all set!
