When a Blood Raven got stolen by the Imperial Fists.
Oh, the irony.
The irony of having an iron warrior cosplayer to help you do this.
Truly a grimdark moment.
"If anyone's gonna recreate my most hated nemesis perfectly AND THE RIGHT WAY. It's gonna be me damnit!"
-iron warrior
WHO THE FUCK SENDS A FULL SCALE STATUE OF A SPACE MARINE TO A JUNK YARD?
it was a promotional thing for dawn of war, after it ended they all went to wherever they wanted
So you're telling me that a blood raven got turned into an Imperial fists... with the help of an iron warrior?
I appreciate the paint job...but it was beautiful the way it was
Good job there's loads more of them out in the wild eh? At least this one is unique now!
@@MidwinterMinis Not that I know of.
If you know of any available for sale please lmk
@@chad534they're gonna be in GW stores mainly so.....fat chance on finding one
Now I want a Toy Story movie about warhammer miniatures
I would to see someone shout “For the Emperor” only for the Emperor himself to walk in
There's still a Blood Raven symbol on the knee-guard... however, many chapters and legions that served together in a campaign do exchange a symbol as commemoratory moments in their shared history. so it fits. ...besides he looks great. hopefully bringing you loads of customers.
Do not worry battle brother, this relic has simply been "Regifted" back to the chapter.
Yeah he goes more in depth in the full video, he kept the symbol as an homage to the original paint scheme.
A blood angel being stolen and turned into an imperial fist, Gabriel Angelos himself is proud of the boldness.
@@starhammer5247I’m confused at how everyone does not see it, clearly a blood raven
I love how canonically Blood Ravens would this on other chapters relics and armor
Sid aint breaking anymore toys when this toys ends up in his house💀
Missed opportunity, could have made it a Salamander...
why.... why would you desecrate our favorite magpies?!
Its fitting they took it and repainted it lmao, just like the blood ravens do
They did the same thing with a dreadnuaght called Bjorne the fell hand
@@Sir_Radahn_the_fearless that one had always been the blood raven’s
The blood ravens finally were stolen from, I never thought I would live to see the day
I don’t even know war hammer 40k but that just looks fucking bad ass
Careful, that's how it starts. Next thing you know you've gone through 20 40k books and you're on your second hour of straight lore channel videos while you paint your minis.
Careful, much of the stories and lore go deep, and some bits may require a strong stomach
Emm, actually is warhammer 40K
Not war Hammer 40K ☝️🤓
Jokes aside, if you decide to enter this wonderful place, prepare to burn a human rights book as your initiation ritual and then spend 40K thounsand bucks on minis and books
Trust me, you are gonna love it
Do not listen to these heretics brother! The all mighty Emperor shares his word with all that are willing to listen, and he guides humanity to it's glorious destiny! Come now, join us, or feel the wrath of mankind, for there is no place for the xenos and the unbeliever in the stars!
Heresy.
Although a Toy Story / Warhammer cross over movie could be fecking fantastic haha
imagine an xeno boutta get crushed by an imperial fist and the xeno saw on his foot a guy named ANDY
thw whole things looks amazing and i love the Andy on the foot great detail
Whoever tried to throw that statue away is a heretic.
Your team did a good job, but it's really sad to see the blood raven done over.
That statue was from the blue water shopping centre !! The GW branch there closed YEARS ago. Surprised it’s in such good shape.
@@samames6515 I’m 90% sure. Of course other branches may have had identical ones, but I distinctly remember that statute from my teen years. Shop has been gone for well over a decade now.
@@Forkuh yeah man that’s the only one like that I’ve ever seen to be honest. I thought it got given to the vet bloke running the place but guess it went to a junk yard instead.
It looked cooler as a Blood Raven, in my opinion.
The banana boys just don't look that good.
I've always hated their design.
I didn't think I would have enjoyed the full video, but it was really good. Worth the watch.
Fallout Power Armours solo them all
@@BLIGHTOPERATOR warhammer armour is ridiculously op, demigods wesr thrm after all, fallout power armour breaks quite easily, not really any weapons in fallout which could even damage the armour
I saved this space marine from my local scrap yard 😂 where tf do you live?!
I was actually thinking about this literally yesterday
I would’ve kept it a blood raven it looked good just needed a new coat of paint and boom hood to go
I would make it a ultra marine then make fun of the blood ravens and then wonder where my bolter is
The Toy Story reference makes me so happy
They threw it away because they want to shit on the old lore and replace all the OG marines with Primaris cringus marines
The “Andy” on the bottom of a life sized space marine seems more like a personal vendetta than anything else, I’d be worried for the guy.
Bro's doing the Emperors work
It's also hilarious that one of the guys who helped has cosplayed Horus
SPACE MARINE?! *Running From Evil intensifies*
Guy I have been watching since the old black fortress videos and this is a amazing thing you did hats of to you and everyone who worked on it
Okay as an Imperial Fist enjoyer, I love this for many reasons. First off... You made an Iron warrior paint an imperial fist, I fear you and your level of manipulation and pursuasion skills. And secondly introducing more people to the fists, this is awesome.
I love imperial fists... but, god, their color scheme is eye burning
You had to pick one of the most difficult color schemes for the largest 40k toy haha
Just casually rescuing a battle brother from being thrown away and reward him with a second chance and a fresh coat of paint
“Drove it across the country” probably like a 5 hour, 275 mile drive😂
On my bucket list I want to be in a suit like this
Of all the chapters to paint it as, Imperial Fists were the final choice
Bloody hell well now i know the story of how that ended up at my local shop XD
I first tought that this was an Angry Marine instead of an Imperial Fist.
Dammit, i want a life size space marine statue
Ironic, the Blood Ravens got their identity stolen. How the turn tables.
The irony of yoinking blood raven and repainting into imperial fist 😂
So awesome that you donated it!
Best marines company to do . Imperial fists always dominant over all the others. Now quite literally.
I remember seeing Exeter warhammer cosplay in that exact suit you briefly showed at a comic con! Absolutely awesome
I'm surprised the Iron Warrior didn't graffiti "aDORNable" on the front of the chestplate
Oh my god, imagine toy story if andy was a Warhammer mini painfer
Missed opportunity to make it into a Custodes.
Could you imagine you go out to a scrap yard thinking you’ll find some random stuff to stumble upon the holy grail of a warhammer find😂
Who would send a space marine suit to the scrap yard?????
This is now lore accurate
The chainsaws sword was the best part
god, I wish I could just find a whole goddamn space marine statue in a junkyard
Imagine a toy marine ending up in toy story
If I had one of those, I’d finally have my life sized Dark Angel I’ve always wanted.
Sad! I loved the story of the Blood Ravens!
I want a life sized salamander statue
FOR THE EMPEROOOOORRR!
He was a Blood Raven, then an Imperial Fist. And his name is Alpharius.
I need one. Holy shit thats so bad ass.
That’s beautiful!
Looked better as a Blood Raven...
The iron warrior cosplayer probably having a meltdown while painting this bet
Who tf would throw away such beauties?
That’s phenomenal
You have served the Imperium well!
The Imperium thanks you for your Service.
Personally I would’ve done a very dark gritty blue and camouflage pattern for the soldier.
Why would someone throw away such a beautiful piece of art, I really want to know.
turning it from a beautiful blood raven to a cringefail imperial fist should be a CRIME
My father actually told me a story of when he was in the navy he actually met the creator of warhammer40k. He said he was just like an average dude and often saw the man just drawing on papers and creating these huge bulky robots
Almost thought he was an Angry Marine
Bro made the angry Marines
The real question is why someone would throw away a child perfectly good Marine Armor.
Wow this stuff is amazing I love playing war hammer and I think others should too that is a great way to try and get others to play
Someone was going to throw that magnificent statue away. Heresy
iv herd the phrase you would be supried what some people throw out but dotnthink i fully grasped it untill now
Daaamn, gonna do that beautiful giant blood raven boi like that and turn him into a yellow stick in the mud. My poor magpie.
You have no idea how long it took me to realise it had been repainted. I go into the store at least once a week to game 😂
Papa Henry would be proud
Well now you gotta do a Dreadnought
Truly beautiful
Imagine seeing an mf cosplay as a 9 foot tall mech
Iron fist, cool for the siege, blood raven cool for the dow!!!!
Iron Warrior repaints Blood Raven into an Imperial Fist so that he infiltrates and -steals- acquires some artifacts that were -stolen from the Imperial Fists and repainted- always belonging to the Blood Ravens.
You were right to paint him as a fist
Thank you for Rescuing him!
I would even bother giving it to a game store I would keep it for myself😂
Loved the Andy on the bottom lol
Now i can't help but imagine 1:1 figurines and giant statutues be considered toys in the toy story universe
Bro got an Iron warrior to work on an Imperial fist
Beautiful end result!
Question. Does that scrapyard have any marines left?
It had 3 i think
I hope
Well boys we're going junkyard diving
