Thanks for the opportunity to work together 💚 You smashed the paint job, Hatty!
oh dear, i did the orc wyvern for my 11th birthday in 1993. with no pinning, suffice to say it broke soon after as it was only balenced on one leg.....stupid design
Excuse me- you forgot a credit.
Flight of Dragons music all the way through the first part of the video.

@@dicegoblin5854thank you so much! 😄
I immeadiately recognised some of the music in this video! From my favourite childhood movie!! Flight of Dragons!!! Got to find that on my external drive and watch it again now... Thanks for the memory of good times!
Models are meant to be opened built and painted if they stay in the box it does nothing you might as well have a poster. Normalise opening old model boxes. I opened a screamer killer that was in the shrink wrap I bought when I was maybe 14 nearly 12 years ago I bought on eBay for 30 quid best experience of my life.
100%
This. Unassembled models are a sadness.
Hell yes! I love seeing older models inamongst GW's newer fare, particularly when people incorporate it into a modern army. I can understand how the billions of mono-pose space marines and lizardmen might end up sitting un-sprued and un-painted in countless bits boxes the world over, but it'd be a terrible shame if a model as marvellous as this one shared the same fate. Especially for the noble cause of painting a pink dragon :3
there's a great scene in a TV show about Toys with James May. He goes to a model train auction (since he has a run up in his attic and wanted a specific engine) and he sees the one he wants but its considered a 'collectors piece' which just means it's going to be kept in the box and not run. He proceeds to overbid for what it was worth and, at the auction, takes it out of the box, hands the clerk the box and asks them "yeah can you put that in the bin for me".
The absolute look of horror on the collectors faces was priceless and he made the point that you made, these things were toys...for children...they were meant to be run and played with, not kept in the box and just stared at.
I totally agree, My mindset on perfectly mint condition stuff has totally changed over time. I still have a great respect for people that are able to keep their stuff as fresh as the day was made. But in my opinion I think that the emotional bond you build with something by actually using it, painting it, or playing with it is so much stronger. Having this mini sealed and mint condition especially if it was your first ever one would be very meaningful. But I think it's even more meaningful actually take it out of the box and give it the paint job you always dreamed of as a child.
Man I love how strange older monsters looked. There isn’t a focus on anatomy it’s more like they were bringing medieval depictions to life.
And they were drawn by people who had been told about a monster fish but having never seen one they went wild with the pics
Those old snake-like dragons were so awesome. I must admit I didn't appreciate them back in the day. Now I think they give the warhammer fantasy brand a unique and fairy tale kind of aesthetic.
Agree. I was hung up on TSR/DnD dragons and didn't fully appreciate what I had until it was gone.
Unsung hero of this video is Big Bro Josh. So wholesome to hear he wanted to help his lil' sis build a mini and paint it how you wanted. 10/10 big bro value. ❤
Great content, as ever. Keep it coming. 😊
Indeed, he sounds lovely and supportive.
Nah, he just wanted a legal reason to beat up his little sister without actually inflicting any physical or mental damage. 😅
100%, and can confirm he’s still amazing too!
Flight of Dragons definitely holds a dear place from my childhood too Guy. Little Hattie would be so proud of this dragon, well done!!!
Damn that's a nostalgia blast from the past, I hadn't thought about that movie in such a long time but it, combined with The Last Unicorn and sitting down on a Friday night to play Hero Quest with the family is probably what made my a big old fantasy nerd.
Love that movie. Though I heard the theme playing.
Love that movie. Randomly found it on DVD a while back. The art style and the impossible noses are perfection. Also not a bad adaptation of the book.
My boy,Luke, is 7 and picked an undead dragon as his first model that was "his", so this feels really real!
Good to know that if he follows in your footsteps, it'll only be 20 years till he paints it!
Awesome stuff
😂
It’s genuinely a stunning paint job, any young girl would be proud to have that in their army. Well done 👍
Thank you 🥹
Haha, That's soooo cool. I have a little sister aswell and she's amazed by my (mediocre) painted miniatures. I should maybe bring her to a warhammer shop someday.
Great job Hatty! Awesome to see these childhood dreams that we keep in our heads for so long without the ability to manifest them how we want to, and make them come to fruition, It looks absolutely fantastic. Never give up on your hobby dreams people.
I literally screamed when I heard the Flight Of Dragons theme at 2:15. Easily one of the most influential pieces of media coming in at the right time to make me who I am today.
I grew up near Peterborough myself and the Lord of the Rings models were my entry into 40k. I remember seeing those in the shop and being so excited to go in. I'm 29 and I recently returned to GW Peterborough and the magic of creativity is still there in the displays. Its great to hear of someone else having a similar entry into the hobby. You did an amazing job on that miniature!
Yes! It was the oliphants on the spinny display in the window that I remember best!
@@warhatter I remember when they released the Return of the King stock I had real anxiety about it selling out before I could get into town. I remember going through secondary school and meeting people just as nerdy as I was and heading into to GW to paint in store. I have very fond memories of GW Peterborough and I'm pleased to see someone else does Hatty. I think your past self would be thrilled with the model you painted up and I can picture it on the spinny display right next to the Oliphants!
That was my local GW too! I remember the really cool trench battle diorama with necrons and guard
Flight of Dragons arguably James Earl Jones' best voice acting work!
"I'll teach him to fly like a fairy... and I'll give him the ultimate answer to all his science can ask."
the pink works really well for the dragon! great work on the model I really enjoyed seeing the process.
Looks EPIC. The green base just pulls it all together. Ah the glories of working with metal, I still gloss coat first out of habit. If you ever start to see shiny points, you know the top coat has rubbed off and you needed to do some touch up before you damage the paint. The good ole days lol. Army painter dip was a godsend back then.
Oh my goodness, the hairs on my arms pricked up when the 'Flight of Dragons' score started at 2:09. That, and The Last Unicorn, was bascially my childhood. Feeling a bit teary now :)
Well done - beautiful work! I guess ya gotta be quick or this dubble bubble will take a bite out of you! I’ll bet his breath smells like big league chew. What kind of fire-equivalent do you think he spits out?
Hahaha thank you! 😄 I don’t know what he’d spit but I know it would be an awesome colour 😅
They'd ust blow a gigantic bubble that implodes and leaves their enemies immobilised, covered in sticky blue gum.
@@EntropicEcho You know what... I might just nab that idea for a Pathfinder session sometime!
@@RogueWraith909doesn't necessarily do damage but creates huge areas of difficult terrain
@@meshuggahshirt yeah... could make for an interesting session... capture the party instead of murdering them for once. lol.
As a veteran of the Metal Mini era... longer pins of heavy paper clip, rough up the mating surfaces (even gouge them up or drill extra holes), then go for the beast of glue... 2 part 5 minute epoxy. You have to hold for many minutes, brace or clamp your parts until it's well set... but it's STRONG.
Great job hatty my mom used to collect wood elves when she was a kid in the eighties she had that model
This model turned out GORGEOUS!! I love the colour scheme, and the throwback to the 90s models. So many wonderful memories growing up!!! Thanks for bringing me back, can't wait to see more!
Thank you!
As soon as i heard that music i was like WAIT, that's flight of dragons. My all time favourite childhood movie and inspired me forever into fantasy
I really love that this is a childhood dream come true
The end product is fantastic
They both look really legit! All that regal purple fabric and bright silver armour on Imrik is pretty quintessentially High Elf, and his dragon being such a fantastically pink hue fits that factions vibe surprisingly well.
Very tasteful use of the 'Flight of Dragons' music!
The dragon looks fantastic!
I used to sneak in to my friends older brothers room in the early 80s, in one of his draws he had a really old gw model centaur ogre thing pushing some sort of War machine trolly device that had lots of spikes, blades and I think a big wooden fist on a pole i think. my first gw model was the old metal snottling pump wagon loved it, still got it in my fully metal Warhammer army
Good luck DQing this, golden demon judges! Lovely work Hatty
Legit, the model that got me into painting was actually Guy's Ultramarine Intercessor speed paint. It really made me realize that I could make what I saw in my head a reality and now I have a hobby shelf that is overflowing with models.
This was my very first mini at the age of 11 or something like that. Definitely too much for a kid of that age. It got squashed badly while moving houses and it was never fixed, some of the broken bits also got lost over the years. In more recent times I was able to repurpose the dragon as basing material for a couple of my best paint jobs so far and I’m very pleased with the final results.
I started painting and playing in 2006 and I LOVED the necron warriors! It was my first box I ever bought. Wonderful video! Enjoy your dragon!
The model that really sparked my intresst was a tau drone, I never started collecting them but I'll always remmember them as the thing that got me into the hobby.
That is a GORGEOUS dragon
😄😄😄😄 thanks so much, pal!!!!!
Oh my, what a paint job. Absolutely love it. For me it’s the old metal dwarfs especially the slayers
My first ever model was the Officio Perfectus Commissar model, that kicked off the hobby and an enduring love of the Guard
Epic Music. The Flight of Dragons is known for its weird dragons (No other movie describes a dragon as a 747); the model fits right in. :)
thank you for leaving the aluminum bits in xD
My first model that lured me into the hobby were the old pegasus knights, they looked amazing in the old box
This might actually inspire me to finish off the Wood Elf Dragon I’ve had half finished for 25 years
I’m actually working on the all metal version at the moment for a 5th edition army. And yes it’s a bit of a heavy beast
LOVE IT!!
I find myself getting into a periodic rut of painting things how it 'should be painted' and inevitably, it stops being fun.
Videos like this remind me that it's your plastic, your canvas and you should paint it how you like.
Great Job Hattie! ☺
Paint with your soul 🤩
I started in 2012 with Dark Eldar. The idea of the pirate raiders, gladiatorial wyches, and genetic mutations from the covens... I was so tired of playing good guys in all the RPGs. They were never over the top strong, but I enjoyed every aspect of the hobby with them.
Amazing job Hatty! Absolutely love the pink dragon!
Whoa! Brain just popped Hatty, you crushed it! Well played mate 👏👏👏
Nicely done hun. Always do something for the child in you 😊
When I first introduced to Warhammer it was back in 2000 with 40K 3rd edition. While my brother and I ended up splitting the starter box that officially were my first minis, what really drew me in were the Tyranids. In particular the larger monsters of the range. The Hive Tyrant with the skull-like face and pincer tail, the original Screamer-Killer Carnifex and the Zoanthrope which had big clawed hands and stocky legs back then; before they became floating heads. I still have these models proudly in my display cabinet to this day.
Incredibly awesome looking dragon! Great job and wonderful video. Thank you! :)
I'm currently in the process of macing my own warhammer dreams come true by FINALLY owning an (or several) ACTUAL army/armies to play with. Back in the day I spent soooo long painting each mini, and reading the books and putting together lists that I never managed to get an army and actually playing the game. Another factor was that I was a child and Warhammer was/is expensive. But now I can afford an army or four, and while I don't have that much time to paint I DO have an airbrush :)
This sponsorship came at the perfect time as I am just starting to build a Pathfinder Goblin druid. That model is one of the first model I ever saw as a child. I have always loved the fantasy elves. Amazing job on this one!
Ooh spooky! I recently sold a copy of Imrik on eBay my sister brought in the early 2000's plus we lived in Peterborough at the time!!! Looks amazing in pink!!!
I kitbashed an old metal model together with some plastic parts not long ago and... yeah, not the easiest to get them to stick together, even on a smaller model. The little Citadel assembly stand with the clips and robot arms totally saved my life there.
I didn't realise you had worked with Warhammer before MWM! That's awesome and you're doing an amazing job here I'm so glad MWM is expanding and exploring more avenues in content!
"Nothing so horrible could be real" is a quote from Flight of Dragons which I often remind myself of when on the internet!!
The model that really could my attention and got me hooked on the hobby was the metal Ultramarines Dreadnought, whihc I saw first in White Dwarf 203, that big old hunk of lead was the coolest thing I'd even seen :D
I also began to fulfill a childhood warhammer dream as a recently stable 20-something, and now I have rediscovered my love for Astra Militarum collecting & customizing 🖤
So incredibly cool! I think it was the Lord of the Rings Balrog that first sparked my love for miniatures back in the day.
That looks great. I love vibrant colours on models and nothing is more vibrant than that pink! The old Nagash was what got me into Warhammer. I saw him in a GW leaflet and just wanted him. I got him for my birthday and somehow he has survived the almost 30 years in one piece! He looks happy, so I am happy too!
this will probs be lost. but a tip for glueing metal minis, use two part epoxy, the heavy duty stuff. and if you do remember to use less than you think ull need or itll gush out the sides.
also pinning is your friend
Lovely work. Funnily enough my 8 year old daughter, now 28 like yourself, wanted a Barbie pink dragon 😊
Wee tip from an old crafter is to dust the superglued joints with baking soda, aka bicarbonate of soda, and that will set like welding, iron hard!
I use Co-op bicarbonate but other grocery stores are available 😜
Again, lovely piece of building and paintwork.
It looks wonderful. And should you have your own child one day, I agree that their eyes will stare in fascination at this mighty and vivid beast!
Took me a few days to remember what got me into model painting/warhammer, and it was an old(ish) box of warhammer fantasy vampire counts skeletons that I got with my brother in England when I was ten. We never even finished assembling them and I think we still have them. Maybe one day I can find and paint them, but I’ve always loved the vampire counts (and coast) since.
The first Warhammer model I ever saw, long before I even knew what Warhammer is, was the old plastic Ork Battlewagon model.
It was for sale in a modeling store I used to visit often. I was into scale modeling at the time, mostly WW II tanks and planes with the occasional Cold War era jet, but I had never seen anything like it before.
I remember it, because I thought to myself that those green dudes looked like they were having a great time ... they looked so happy, not the usual doom and gloom of war.
Just like Hattie with her dragon (looks great BTW), I later bought that model on eBay!
From someone else who only ever owned this piece as a child (and had so much problems with the assembly that I never finished it), thank you for this video. It's oddly cathartic to see you finish this.
My very first Warhammer model was the Rouge Trader era Eldar avatar of Khaine. The pose with the outstretched spear it spoke to me. The very first miniatures that I painted were from the old TSR marvel super hero's rpg game around 1985. The box came with Iron-man, Colossus, Nightcrawler, and bunch of others.
I had the (far superior) Malekith kit from when I was 10 😂 I found him in my storage unit, dragon still unassembled, and with a painted cloak of purple ink... I'll definitely get him sorted now that I've seen this. He deserves it, being the TRUE phoenix king after all
Hattie, you look much more comfortable presenting and being on camera, even from a month or two ago. Glad you are continuing to make videos and expand the MWM universe. Keep going!!
Pink is one of my favorite colors. Seeing someone take the time to make such a fantastical color palette for something so classic is just wonderful.
I remember going to the comic shop to watch my friend play MTG and seeing the Warhammer boxes lining the shelves. They even had some Middle Earth sets. But what really got me interested was the people playing with some Tyranids that they had hand painted. Honestly, I think what killed me from enjoying the game/models wasn't the fact that I was about 20 years behind at the time, it was the price lol
That’s the coolest dragon I’ve seen. Thank you for sharing that and your story behind it.
Another amazing video and fantastic work by Hatty! I remember going into a local hobby store and seeing all the 40k Models (pretty much the only game the store had come to think of it) and feel in love with the T'au (particularly the Hammerhead in that nice T'au sept orange that the T'au had for their box art that's sadly been pushed to the side in favor of the boring white). Its always awesome to be able to actually get, build, and paint those models we looked so fondly at back in the day
This exact kit was one of my very first as well. I remember asking my dad for help getting the metal parts to stick together and he soldered them for me! I don't even remember the colour scheme I had in mind for him. But it never got painted as Imrik. Much later I instead recycled the dragon's torso, arms and wings along with the legs and hands of an Eldar Wraithlord, a stick topped by a Carnifex' Scything Talon (yes I was an edgy teen and gave him a scythe), and , to top it all of, the Power Klaw off the old ork Kommando metal kit to serve as a head. I added more mechanical bits in places, made a piss-poor attempt at sculpting gnarly mangled flesh around the seems using green stuff, and painted it.
It ended up looking like a Lord of change, but reimagined as a daemon engine. Much cooler looking in my opinion but I was comparing it to the early 2000s lord of change at the time.
Still a kitbash I'm proud of today though it unfortunately got broken in a move. Ironically only the metal Klaw remains attached. And while the hobby is the hobby has unfortunately gotten too expensive for me, since I can no longer ask mom and dad to buy me the cool creatures to build and paint, I still have that broken model on my desk.
I've Painted my Realm Lords in a Pink scheme, so this dragon would fit perfectly into my army. Love it!
Holy shit this was an AMAZING VIDEO, Hattie!!!! I am a super Fantasy fan and all the 40K stuff is an afterthought but MWM (Guy)does such a great job of being a wonderful ambassador to the hobby that it's hard not to love! Please keep up the mixed genre content!
Thank you! ☺️
That is awesome - what got me into the hobby when i was a kid was my friends Blood Angels army i then spent hours in GW shops drooling over miniatures i couldn't afford
I am so happy that you used the Goblin Green square base. I remember helping my friend build his metal Stegadon and paint it.
Amazing video, brings me back to good days.
I really liked the nostalgia and personal approach in this video. Well done, I really enjoyed it.
I love everything about your channel. You and Guy have a tone in your voice I could listen to all day. I often put them on in the background at work and just listen to them. My favorite, of course, are the retro painting. I love hearing how excited you two are about nostalgic feelings. I can relate! Ace job, you two. Keep them coming!
It's absolutely gorgeous- those highlights on the scales are really wonderful and you got so much richness and variation from a near-monochrome pallette- amazing work!
I love oldhammer so much! Useally when a channel that is based around one person introduces a new host it feels off but Hatty's videos are so good I enjoy them as much as the videos with Guy.
I really appreciate that, thank you! 🥰
The necron void dragon really hooked me into warhammer, it's my dream model that if I had the skill to paint it I would find a way to own it
I came in the hobby being bowled over by the lizardmen, I remember tehenauin, vividly. The lizard standing atop of a macabre kali-marred skaven blew my mind.
But for some reason it was always skarsnik and gobbla that I remember first despite that coming out later. They stuck in my mind like glue until I painted my own
What got my juices flowing when I started painting was the Balrog from the first iteration of TLoTR minis that came with the Battle Games in Middle Earth magazine in 2001. The actual Balrog was a kit you had to buy in a GW obviously bit 14 year old me saved his paper route money to get that bad boy! Id point in the direction of pics but my evil younger brothers thought it was an action figure and broke it 😭 Maybe i'll take out a loan and buy a new one
I've got a similar situation situation with an old metal stegadon I bought when I was 6 - just way too complicated and hard for a child to complete and paint! I think that was also a Trish Carden sculpt, her monsters are iconic and definitely very easy for a child to fall head over heels over. Also a nice surprise to see Flight of Dragons get a reference, a very underrated gem!
Great paint job and chat about your journey Hattie! Probably my first GW miniature I loved was a winged demon about 20+ years ago from when my friends worked in a GW store… maybe one day!
I had this model when I was a kid, I was stupid and naive back then and gave it away like a dope. This is amazing, so happy for Hatty! Such an unreal model!
Well done. Your childhood you would be proud. My first model who sparked my imagination were the simple dwarf thunderer.
Awesome job Hatty. Much respect. Love it
I think this is one of the most beautifully painted models i have seen, its all just stunning and i wish i had half your skill.
I've found that 5 to 10mm deep holes work really well for pinning most miniatures. Once spent 6 hours pinning a Warmachine warjack for my elder brother's Dwarf mercenary army. Unless you lob it at a brick wall, the model is never going to fall apart.
The Tyranid Trygon back in 2010 is what started my warhammer journey.
2nd Ed Ork Traktor Kannon for me, as painted in the 2nd Ed Ork Codex.
That looks fantastic, the colours are so smooth. Nothing sadder than a classic models still wrapped in cellophane. I think the first models that created my gateway into G.W and the hobby were the hard clear plastic boxes of metal I.G. troops and Judge Dredd on his bike. I have forgotten half the old Citadel Miniatures that my brother, my best friend and I got when we could. I think we got every box game they made in those days too.
That was the model (the metal version) I first saw in shops as a kid and got me interested in Warhammer. Finally got started this year!
This is so awesome! Great model with even greater backstory. Congrats Hattie!
The OG Giant from Warhammer fantasy is the model that really started my journey into Warhammer
Wonderful Video, wonderful Project. Toys are meant to be played with, you did the right thing!
This is awesome, the adulinimum coloured armour looks fantastic. My 2 year old daughter is already fascinated by Warhammer models, I can't wait for her to get older and want to paint a pink (or not) dragon!
This is gorgeous, it feels classic and modern. Absolutely timeless, superb work.
Aww lil kid Hattie!
As an adult I got my dream WH Fantasy mini: An unopened Zaccharius The Everliving on a Zombie Dragon. I absolutely opened him up and painted him. He's my prize doll now.
I love seeing a passion project :D
Beautiful work, and congrats on fulfilling a childhood hobby dream!
Awesome video. Happy to see more videos from Hatty. Had no idea this miniature even existed it looks awesome. Looking forward to the next video. Keep up the good work.
Such a fun project. Nice work, Hattie.
I just love this. This is why I got back into painting. Well done, Hattie.
Incredible work Hatty. Maybe it’s nostalgia talking but those old Warhammer Fantasy models and packaging just hit different.
That is a beautiful paint job, thanks for sharing!!
