This week, I decided it was time to make my first army for Warhammer. I decided that if I was going to make an army of Space Marines, they might as well all be cowboys as well.
The army will be on display at Colpar’s Hobby Town in Lakewood, CO

Is it me or did anyone else feel like this was the fastest eleven minutes on earth? Between the exquisite detailing and the narration, time vanishes into the WIW.
Great comment!
No it felt like it took ages cos I watched it back to back 3 times
It's to get you to watch it twice!
It also felt like an advert for Warhammer 😄 well the man's gotta eat.
For the Emperor, pardner!!
How about, For Our Manifest Destiny?
You've yee'd your last haw, Chaos varmint!
"Wait, do you hear that?"
"For tha emp-yeehah!" [hollerin' and shootin' noises]
"Oh no."
**Ominous chanting mixed with country music in the distance**
Walla walla wooow, wow wow woooow
"This side of cicatrix maledictum ain't big enough for both of us, heretic."
-Brother Captain Cassidy Y. Haw, circa 41st millenium.
Feels like a good blending of the two there.
This comment wins.
“Cassidy Y. Haw” is amazing. I just know the Y stands for Yee lmao
a smoke stack or two would have worked marvels for that knight... It's already pretty steampunky, it needed only that little bit to push it over the edge to look wild-westy.
That head was screaming for a bandana
Where's the cowboy hat?
Was about to say just the same. Some of the wires that are present on everything else in the Wild Imaginary West could have helped tie this army with the rest too
That and maybe some cow catchers on the Ankles as additional "armor"
@@lucasdeconninck1232 Yes. Those power packs on the marine armors look terribly out of place without the iconic antenae.
I was hoping for a giant cowboy hat on the big guy 😂
Bro that would have been hilarious!!! 😂
Ah my 3 favorite things
1. A Boylei video
2. Space Marines
3. Cowboys
Wow…the bases, hats, bison horns, spurs, facial hair…so many creative details, and finished off with some of the best painting I’ve seen you do!
This is one of the coolest armies I’ve ever seen!
You definitely should call out @EonsOfBattle for an epic duel. Not only with the army but also sculpting, and painting. That is unbelievable! Great idea, and marvelous realization. Wonderful.
name suggestion the imperial Marshals, they just need the star badges.
Purity Stars >_
HOLY SHITE that's brilliant! I was Just talking about space marine or astra militarium unit that came from a wild west planet.
The Dust Prowlers, successors to the White Scars.
Your creativity is astounding. Beautifully done!
Post Script: The Ramblin' Throne Boys chapter may not be perfectly codex compliant, but their devotion to rootin' out varmints (tyranids), banditos (renegades), outlaws (chaos marines), and such-like malefactors on their homeworld of New New Tejas is second to none.
New New Tejas, amazing 😂
when the homebrew need to be cannon
Probably the best mashup ever! Love the Wild West marines!
This is so awesome. I have a Studio Ghibli themed Ork army and have used purple-y shadows as well. It adds so much to the final look!
Looked you up on insta, looks awesome my dude. Love me a good ork conversion😅
Best ever use of Warhammer miniatures. Ever.
...EVER!
I would LOVE to see you use these minis you have been making with actual bases in a wargame battle. Even if just one time only, I don't know if you have ever actually played any tabletop battles, but you definitely have a worthy army for 40k now and seeing them work on the tabletop would be a neat "side project" to your amazing work.
Also, just as a side note: this army might seem to someone new to Warhammer 40,000 that it "doesn't fit", but the beauty of all the various lore for 40k is that almost anything can fit if you come up with a story for why. I could imagine this army being a Space Wolf based army (using the Space Wolf rules) that was simply raised on some planet where the western theming was part of every day life for the people there, and being very much one of the more "traditionalist" factions within the various chapters of Space Marines (maybe this side of the Black Templars and their obvious ties to a more knightly design), these Space Wolves retained all their adopted home world's western styling as a result of having grown up there and not wanting to lose that part of them that helped raise them and make them worthy of being Space Marines in the first place.
A literal rough and tumble planet of hostile forces that allowed each one to survive being Space Marine scouts and turn into the Emperor's Chosen.
And so the wolf aspect makes sense as well, as in the Wild Imaginary West, giant and dangerous wolves are a constant threat, just like on this Secondus chapter's homeworld, and because these men made Marines are so tough, they tamed those massive wolves as mounts to ride in honor of trying to become Space Marines for their future life off world. Could even be a whole rite of passage to tame your very own wolf as mount, companion, and show of strength that you have what it takes to become a Marine when the chapter comes calling for more.
Space wolves successor or White scars either way it looks good.
I’m in love with the recent Warhammer pop-ins that some of my favourite creators started putting out
It's called gettin' paid. Thank GW.
@@Drew776655 as a tabletop player, I am taught from the beginning of my journey as a player to hate GW. So, no, I shan’t. Lmfao
Nope. Hate them.
@@Drew776655was this video sponsored illegally? Idr seeing a sponsor disclaimer that you’re required to have. So dont think its that 🤡🤦♂️
Those are adorable and hilarious! Wild West Space Marines! Awesome!
this is the MOST ingenious conversion iv'e seen dude.
He could have easily edited it out, but instead he had us also feel the pain of the stubborn piece of tape!
Amazing paint job and imagination; to both think it and pull it off!
I laughed out loud. :)
I am so amazed at your skill. The creative approach to your work is incredible. I've enjoyed your videos for quite some time now and can't get over the beautiful work you do. I'm 70 years old and I'm learning from you. Love your work!
I can’t express how unbelievable cool this is.
I was unsure of how this would turn out until the reveal but I was really surprised how nicely they all tie in together, they really do have that wild west theme and I think you communicated it very well.
Love these minis, cowboy space marines was not something I knew I needed but now I have received it it will live within me forever
Love Boylei and love Warhammer ❤ perfect mix
I’ll be so sad once this imaginary west series concludes. Amazing work and great story telling 🙏💪
Fun fact: a rotary cannon _is_ a Gatling! They are mechanically identical to the original Gatling gun, just made with modern materials and tolerances.
The main difference is the de-linker, i.e. the piece of space age magic that separates up to 6000 rounds of ammunition per minute from the links of the ammo belt to feed the Beast.
This army is absolutely fabulous. I agree, the spurs are the best part, but it's by a very narrow margin.
It makes me wonder what kind of monumental creatures they are equipped to hunt? The Great Rat King of San Francisco? The Horror at Red Hook? Could it be... have they actually tracked down... a GRUE?!?
I have to say, I really enjoy watching a modeler have fun with the hobby, and not take it so seriously. That being said, the quality of your work is still really inspiring and I learn a lot from the videos
Once upon a time, I was thinking up a Western-themed Space Marine Chapter called the Steel Riders. I debated about if I wanted to keep it grounded in the 40k aesthetic or go fully Western with it. In the end, I never ended up doing any models at all. This is exactly how I pictured the fully Western idea though. So it was truly amazing to see this video!
I'm blown away, this brings my love for Warhammer, Knights and The Wild West together! Thank you for this! I really hope this pushes you beyond 1Million subscribers!
SO SICK, this makes me unbelievably happy
Please make more WIW videos! I love watching you make such involved, story driven dioramas! The fact that these all share a universe and form a cohesive story makes this all the more impressive!
In my head, I think of this channel as mainly a kitbashing/scratch building channel. So, whenever I see how great the sculpting is, I'm always surprised. The beards, the moustaches, and the skull all look like they came right off of a sprue.
Might I recommend putting a smokestack on the knight, it may help it feel more like a steam train
I cried inside when he said my beloved wolves weren't marines haha still love this channel dude has inspired me so much
Awesome inspiration Boylei! Soooooo cool! This army deserves to be played with though! Thanks for your awesome videos.:)
Really couldn't picture how this was going to turn out at the start but of course it came out looking awesome! ☺
This is such a fantastic conversion; seeing all the little changes like the sculpted facial hair makes these so charming. But I think my favorite part is that despite the fact that you picked the models for their aesthetics, it's almost a perfectly legal 1000 point army! I checked the numbers!
10 Reivers: 170 points
3 thunderwolves: 90 points
Dreadnought: 135 points
Allied Knight Castigator: 465 points
And I think that last model is UR-025, from Blackstone Fortress? You could proxy it as a leader for the Reivers. A Captain in Phobos Armor is 80 points.
All total that's 940 points, which leaves just enough wiggle room to pick some enhancements!
What an amazing Warhammer theme. That giant knight turned out just as you said looking like an old steam train. That face shield may have looked pretty boss with red also like it had a bandana hiding its face. Love your vibe, love your story telling.
Making those Astartes and the Knight magically turn into cowpokes was quite a feat! It is hard for me to unsee the characteristic Warhammer design that all these models have, but you did a damn fine job.
40k guy here. This army looks incredibly awesome! Those 6 shooters and cowboy hats!, wow. Very cool BHT. 👍
This video is so epic! Miniatures are painted so cool looking! I wish I had your finesse when painting! BY far one of my favorite videos on your channel, and I love a lot of your vids. Keep up the good work!
Great video, cool miniatures, amazing conversions, fantastic paintjob and the struggle with the tape... About my favourite of your videos yet. Keep them coming!!
Love where you were headed with this. The dark and gritty feel is fantastic.
In the unending wilds of the west, there is only war.
Love these models and tanks for the inspiration.
One of my favorite games and channels combined ,this is awesome Semper Fidelis
I’m really happy to see you paint your first army ! When you said you didn’t find a space marines horse cavalry, I immediately thought of someth cool you could do, and that would be to purchase the serberys raiders from the Adeptus Mechanicus, which comes in units of three, and then use them as proxies for the thunderwolf cavalry. What’s even cooler with that, is that this unit is already kind of set in the wild imaginary west !! Seriously, they have cowboy revolvers, rifles, and even sabers, they’re only missing a cowboy hat !!! I would love to see you make that, but your wolves look awesome and are perfect as they are, as well as the others models you painted !
would have loved to see more of the WIW tech on the mechs, aswell as a cowboy hat on the knight
otherwise incredible paint jobs and i love the facial hair
Very happy that the most definitely Loyal Imperial Robot got himself an adorable cowboy hat :3
Fantastic! Please, continue growing the army with additional units.
No exaggeration. That is the most clever idea I’ve seen for a Warhammer army. And the locomotive theme for the big guy was perfect! Someone needs to make a movie about the IWW! 🎥
Man, I love your sense of humor. "Caraplace?" And the little segment with the tape that wouldn't go away? Come on! 😂
Space marines with revolvers is pure rule of cool and I love it. Looks incredible
This is by far one of the coolest warhammer conversations I've seen. Chefs kiss!
Its amazing how you made these look not like space marines at all with a few customizations. Love it ❤
I have a necromunda gang of delaques (first ed sculpts) with the cowboy hats from the big cowboys you can get in the toy aisle at Woolworths or Coles.
The reason it works is because Delaque figures had overcoats that reminded me of the ones from Sergio Leone westerns. The heavies were given uniforms from the ACW artillery units. Both North and South.
I later did the same for some Regiments of Renown Horse artillery. Though I did include one gun with the RHA uniform and French uniform (I think). These were from WHFB before it went stupid.
Man I have been following you for years and I gotta say, your painting has gotten 10/10. I love your Western Steampunk style stuff, but this could be your best work.
now i want to see a ttrpg home game with you and other mini builders
The cowboy roundup team looks amazing, well done.
They stand against the Chaos, the Claim Jumpers and the Heretical Most Wanted!
Seriously, great blending of genres.
I love the customisations - so perfect!
i started watching your channel when i wanted inspiration for building warhammer terrain so this is great, love this channel.
These all look so good! One of my favorite ones is the knight cowboy with the revolver in the air drawing his sword/dagger.
This is great would love to see more! A custom apothecary, tech marine, and/or chaplain for this theme would be fantastic
You made me smile all the way to the end😊
Combining some of my favorite things!!!! Love the army!!! ❤
You just wild western everything😂 keep going, I love it, so creative, and you talk us through the process.
Cant wait for the next bid.
I love how my Warhammer binge has brought me right back to you. There are some amazing Ideas in here.
I am so happy to see you do some more 40K. This is awesome! Love ya, Boylei!
These are true art. Love watching them come to life.
Finally what we've all been waiting for
I never thought of putting cowboys and space marines together, but holy hell you pulled it off amazingly. I wanna see more space marines with lever guns now
I love the creativity in these videos. Melding two worlds can be difficult, but you make it look easy. Happy Modeling ~ Cory
Holy wow, I love everything about this. I wish I could see it in person.
Watching now, brilliant as always!
Brother not the Quest for Camelot reference. Deep cut!!
Amazing work, man! Keep it up!
I could imagine with the warp being such a weird place that a small band of marines like this was catapulted though time and space to the WIW, and to survive they became the most feared and dangerous group of both monster hunters, and guns for hire. Not wanting to affect this world's fate too much, they don't just overthrow the government and instead bide their time until hopefully their ticket home comes their way. Awesome paintjob and an awesome vessel for story telling. I'd love to see them tackle something like a Tyranid Bio-titan that got sent back just like they did.
It was so cool to make the trek to see the army in person (and buy some more nerd supplies). Thank you for sharing this with all of us!
This was amazing to watch! I didn't even realize it was 11 minutes. Incredible work! Definitely liking and subscribing.
I very much appreciated you leaving in the wee fight with the masking tape, 10/10. Take a sub.
I love the idea of the dreadnoughts being these massive steam-powered machines
those marines came out flawless! I had my doubts, but you outdid yourself.
you should add a smokestack to the knight to make him look more steam-powered
The fact I immediately thought of Quest for Camelot when you mentionned the sword fused with the arm, before even you did so too brings me joy
Quest for Camelot is legit.
This is just so frigin amazing haha. I'd totally play a game with characters like this
“The founding of the Emperor’s Law Bringers, and of course their chapter master known only as the “Sheriff”, may have seen as quite the stretch. Especially when you take into account of the rumors of them being a combination of successor chapters of the Space wolves and Ultramarines. But their success in taming and keeping peace in desert worlds and rural regions is undeniable. I am glad to serve as their knight.” -Lord Knight Pilot of “Steam’s Glory”
I laughed at the tape section. I don’t get to paint as often as I want but can 1000% relate to the dumb little pieces getting stuck😂😂. Classic comedy. Great video. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
So many Patrons, well deserved of course! How many though? I've tried counting them as has my grandson, who absolutely LOVES every video from Boylei.
This was a beautifully done video and this scheme is incredible. So damn cool
8:56 always hate when that happens its like: Get off.. get off.. GET OFF!
Awesome stuff!! Well done on another great project and video.👏👏👏👏
A smoke stack on the bigest one would have given it that locomotive vibe. All fantastic.
glad you did a Army of Space Marines and converted them into your setting
Great idea for a space wolf army
love this kitbash!! awesome setting to play warhammer!!! i would love to see more like this!
I really like the idea of the wild western Figures, However, I feel like they would feel more alive with things like treasures attached to them, Like a couple of Bot heads or Monster bones attached as both armor or Trophies. Maybe even another bull skull in place of one of the cowboy's Shoulder plates. I think that would be cool.
I’ve been working on a Cow Boy chapter. I call them The LoneStar Wanderers.
Been working on them for awhile. Terminators got pretty tricky
Big missed opportunity to give the Giant a giant hat xD.
Awesome work as always!
This has to be my favourite video from Boylei Hobby Time, I love Warhammer and the Imaginary Wild West series
Just wow!! Phenomenal job on this one. Love the cowboy hats! Absolutely cool.
This is awesome! I've been working on an army that looks like bioshock with the new Solar Auxilia kits, also using a cerastus castigator
So creative and detailed. I think you can remake anything to fit into your Wild Imaginary West. I love it!
love the work as always boylei
