nobody called it yet so I'll do it.
What you have painted in this video is a Terminator model from the 5th edition starter set Assault On Black Reach released in 2008.
Thanks, so the mystery is solved! I thought it’s way older than that 😮 like 2003 or something…
I'm actually painting up this set in retro style myself at the moment. They are really nice monopose models.
This is correct. In addition, the model also came with the White Dwarf released alongside the box. I remember buying several issues because it was such a good deal for a Terminator.
@@Paint_Quest The older ones are smaller and don't have such a clear and deep indent over their helmet.
:"Retro style = The style that was popular when I was in my 20s"
*sighs* I'm old.
I actually really appreciate this style on non-90's models. It's cool to see how the more modern miniatures would look if this style persisted.
I absolutely agree that this style is great
I love the 2E classic 90s painting revivalism. Result looks fantastic
After a few years of the Grimdark style taking over everything it's nice to see other more colorful styles get some attention
That terminator looks to be about 4th edition
The best way to paint minis!
The 90's colors make everything so readable.
That is my era of painting. I spent ages painting my brothers Space Wolf and High Elf characters as close to Eavy Metal as I could. I was slow but got nice results. Love that there are others out there who still enjoy the style.
I think that your mini is an "easy to build" Terminator from the 2008 "Assault on Black Reach" box, the starter set for 5th edition.
The intensity of the helmet really sells the whole project
Looks great dude, well done.
Love how it looks. Great video👍
Impressive Paint Job and great video Tobi! I've never used a graphic tablet for paint schemes, that's really cool!
🥳🥳🥳
Something that this example shows is that while the 90s 'Eavy Metal had more limited options than we have today, their technical skill, brush precision, etc. still holds a very high level.
100% creating an even smooth surface is an art by itself 😅
Assault on Black Reach terminator, I'd put money on it.
Good stuff.
Excellent work, you nailed that bright '90s style down nicely! Minor criticism, the helmet looks a bit over highlighted and you didn't drill out the stormbolter barrels but it's an awesome display piece.
Warcolors nostalgia94 range is a complete match to the citadel colors from 1994, and they are now out for sale. But they are exactly like the paints from 94 so not super good paints, its not the color tones from 94 with a 2023 quality paint (exept from armypainter maybe😂)
Yeah, I have seen their new range 🤔 I am not sure if that set is needed. With a little mixing and reverse engineering, it is possible to match the classic tones with colors already in a painters collection
Just for future reference, the date that is usually on the base is not the date for the release of the miniature, it's for the base itself. It might be the same in some cases, but for example I have miniatures that were released in the 2000s and came with bases with a ´93 date. Only the metal miniatures usually have a sculpting year on the tab of the miniature between their legs, that's for when it was sculpted, it might have been casted a lot later.
Thanks for the info 👍
Fantastic work Tobi! Though I am biased as you're painting up the best Space Marine legion 😉
Strangely I am painting a lot of things in blood angel colors lately 😅😂
That terminator is from assault on black reach i believe which came out in 2008, the older plastic terminators before that came on 25mm bases
25mm bases? 😨 so tiny …
@@Paint_Quest yeah they are way smaller than the last generation of terminators and the current huge new kit.
I have some original metal terminators and the first plastic kit ones mixed together from 2nd edition, in my opinion the best terminators but so small compared to current 40k miniatures.
Looking at that base I believe that Terminator was given free on the White Dwarf to promote the Black Reach game set 😊
Thanks for the info, that would explain why there was only a single one in the collection 🙏
@@Paint_Quest It's a light grey plastic base isn't it? With a single hole to receive the one peg on one foot. They came with a single Ork Nob on a White Dwarf, some of us worked out that the two miniatures were worth more than the WD Mag SO WE BOUGHT SEVERAL TO BUMP UP OUR UNITS 👍😉👌
@@JohnR1298 that's right, a single peg! so its confirmed 😅
That's a very good result but 40 HOURS 😲😲😲😲 It was all those coats of red.
I know 40 hours is a lot, I am actually currently painting the new leviathan terminator also in retro style - and this one will be painted much quicker! With the stuff I learned from this video I was able to speed things up dramatically 👌
5th edition black reach terminator
Wonderful paint job but that poor storm bolter barrel got no love at all. lol
Yeah, wish he would've drilled it out....
I thought about it ... but I wanted the mini to stay in its original state for this retro paint job
i notice on your wet palette your using grease proof paper, this is what makes the paint split apart, you want just parchment paper, same moisture but with no paint splitting :)
Thanks for the tip! Will switch to another brand soon 👍
Does the model with the heavy flamer still exist? Again I have a metal one and all the new ones have no specialist weapons except the dude with the sword. I know they have a flamer in the set from the Space Hulk games, but again the aesthetic is different, although with the wider base you could probably fit them on one now.
I am fairly certain that terminator was not a 90's model. When I started 40k the only models I could access were metal and not nearly the heroic size you have there. I have an assault squad and a fire squad. They were based on the same bases as the standard marines of the day and to my memory the base size did not change until the turn of the millennium. Which kind of supports my point. The terminator you painted has a very wide stance and would not fit on the smaller base. The model has no impact on the retro style of course, the paint job was very good and definitely pre-grim dark. My original Marine army started from the 2nd Ed box and were painted as Ultra Marines at the time and includes a Cyclone Missile launcher which comes apart at the seems any time it takes a dive off the table. Really should pin it.
With the blue helm He’d be part of the Blood Angels devastator squads.
Incorrect, but not wrong for a terminator coming at you with a Power Fist and, its cool as heck.
I need to bolster up when it comes to lore 😅
@@Paint_Quest dont feel too bad!
It is a helmet color Blood Angels use!
If it helps B.A. use 4 different helmets to identify company.
Red for you standard troops
Yellow for Assault troops (anyone that wants to get into combat fast)
Blue for Devastators (anyone with heavy weapons)
And Gold for veterans. (But not Terminators for some reason.)
He looks like he came straight out of the G1 transformer's movie.
please drill the gun barrel
Yeah I wish he'd have drilled it out too.
I thought the mini was older, so I wanted to preserve its original state
@@Paint_Quest you can still fix it, just drill it out now, and then paint in the recesses with Abaddon black, you don't need to worry about priming the inside of the gun barrel
please trust me, preserving the old look of the mini is not the right mentality, even in all of those books you showed in the beginning of the video they were drilled out too, please its not to late to save the amazing paint job that you worked so hard on....
that terminator looks like one from 1996, but i could be mistaken
Thanks to some comments, I now know its from 2008. Way newer than I expected!
@@Paint_Quest yeah that is surprising.
Nice paint job. But please you have to drill out the bolter holes 🙏🏻
And this ladies and gentleman is why my armies remain largely unpainted. This style takes soooo long.
Hence why the slap-chop method exists for getting gaming figures painted quickly and on the table top, save the more involved painting process for characters and display pieces.
It was all we had back then. If someone told me to ‘slapchop’ I’d have assumed he was discussing the latest Jackie Chan movie.
Coat D'arms is the same paints exactly. Same recipes.
Chapter badge?
For the question in what colour u will paint the Helmut have only one answer! Pink! I know its not in the 90s paintscheme but hey i finde there has to be minimum one Thing on the Mini which has to be pink or purple
I’m going to paint up an eldar model 90s style and just for you Chris, I’ll paint it pink and purple 😅
@@Paint_Quest yay a pink and purple space elf ^^
I’ve found after painting grim dark a lot that know I paint WHFB and the old vibrant colors style really poorly, I wasn’t that good anyway but the clean colorful style is so hard to get to a high quality
After testing this I have to say when you stick to the recipe it’s „only“ very very time consuming… but doable 😅
Assuming it's a terminator from Assault on Black Reach it's from September 2008
yeah. only 13 years too late.
Ayup, That is indeed an Assault on Black Reach Terminator.
@@anneliseolsen6896 Made me sad, I still haven't painted mine :(
@@WelshMullet I gave mine to my wife, to replace the Dark Vengeance Deathwing Terminator with chainfist.
It's painted in her Chapter's colours, as she doesn't play Dark Angels or their Successors, but a homebrew Chapter that is, in my totally biased opinion, a Successor of the best Marines; Dorn's kids, the Imperial Fists.
Except that this is not how they painted Terminators in the 90s. Look at the reference pictures, they have A LOT of volumetric highlights in orange all over the rounded shapes, makes the mini almost look orange, here you just highlighted the edges in orange
so... we dont drill the bolter?
Not on this classic … at least I thought it’s a Classic mini. Wanted to preserve it in the original state. Next time!
Sure, it look great and crisp and clean....but there is a reason this painting style did not persist. and you sayed it yourself at the end of the video. 40 hours! for just a single miniature....in a game where you field up to a hundred minis.
Very true, painting a whole army like this would be a task for a lifetime ... but special characters or display models deserve this style 🎉
Great result! But i think you are overthinning your paints for your baselayers, you are creating more work for you for no benefit. Thats glaze consistency. Also as another commenter pointed out: You are using the wrong parchment paper, you need to use regular parchment paper (Butterbrotpapier) or even specialized wet pallete paper (its worth it in my opinion but ymmv), not baking sheets. Baking sheets dont let enough moisture through (if at all), which might be the reason you are overthinning in the first place?🤔Anyways, AMAZING Job but i think you can get there a bit quicker.
Yes, that's definitely one of the big learnings, next time less thinning to speed things up! (at least a little 😅) Good point with the paper, I had the special palette paper from ArmyPainter and switched to this stuff when it ran out ... I'll give other parchment paper a try!
40hrs... I do maybe 8hrs a week. I'm not spending a month on one 28mm scale figure. Sorry, but much as I like the Retro style - I'm not spending 5 months doing a 5 man squad.
Well for display pieces or special characters this might still be an option
Were you even alive in 1995??
Yes! and old enough to paint warhammer miniatures 😬
That's fine, but my goal with Warhammer is completely the opposite - vintage models benefit immensely if they are painted in modern techniques, grimdark style, modern basing and bitz combinations.
True, some of the old metal minis I have lack clear edges sometimes. Highlighting those gets more complicated ... at some point I'll embrace the grimdark style as well 🚀
Drill your barrels i beg of you
I dont take people serious who are to lazy to drill some barrels.....start again. I mean you painted hours, you produced a video for days and you ruined it because you were to lazy to drill for 1 minute XD
