For the seventh episode of the Month of Metal, I ventured deep into the underhive to discover this monstrosity, originally released in 1997 and sculpted by Colin Dixon. I tried to push the idea of depth with this model by using layers of washes to give a natural and weathered appearance. Also, check out the story of how Colin Dixon was hired at GW in the description. It's pretty funny. Enjoy!
For the sixth episode of the Month of Metal, I went under a bridge and found this classic River Troll. Sculpted by Mike Perry and released in 1993, this was one of the first Warhammer miniatures I painted as a kid. I figured 25 years was long enough to wait before trying again. enjoy!
For the fifth episode of the Month of Metal, I decided it was time to paint one of the rarer miniatures in my collection. This Dark Elf Executioner, sculpted by Aly Morrison from Marauder Miniatures, was never commercially available. The only way you could get it was at the 1999 Games Day in a blister pack of two models.
For the fourth episode of the Month of Metal, I’ve gone deep into the jungles of the 41st millennium with this Catachan Jungle Fighter. Originally released in 1994 and sculpted by Mike Perry, this soldier is a first-class example of the beauty of metal miniatures.
For the third installment of Month of Metal, I’ve taken a detour into the world of fantasy sports with the Kemri Blood Bowl team Mummy. Originally released in 2002 and sculpted by Phil Bowen, this Mummy was a bit of a challenge for me.
For most of the painting process, I was really not happy with my results. Thankfully, I was able to push through, and once I saw him finished and on his base, I was pretty happy with him.
For this episode, I painted the Bugler from the Dogs of War regiment of renown, Ricco's Roughne...err...Ricco's Republican Guard! Sculpted by Alan Parry and released in 1998, this model tows the line between historical miniature and fantasy legend.
What I love about this miniature, and many that the Perry brothers sculpted, is that it feels so grounded in reality. If you weren't lining them up against Orcs and Elves, you could easily put this guy in a historical wargame, and he would feel right at home.
To kick off A Month of Metal, I wanted to start with a true classic from Warhammer’s early days, the mighty minotaur. More specifically, Bloodcry the Beast. Sculpted by Bob Naismith, this miniature was originally released in 1986 as part of Citadel’s legendary C25 Minotaur range.
This model is one of my favorites, not just because of its old-school charm, but because you can still spot traces of the original greenstuff sculpting right on the miniature. It’s a real piece of Warhammer history.
With the return of Warhammer Fantasy in The Old World, my love for classic metal miniatures has grown stronger than ever, especially the old-school sculpts. So, to celebrate that passion (and because I can’t resist a little alliteration), I’m declaring May the Month of Metal!
Every day this month, I’ll be posting a new video featuring a classic metal Games Workshop model, along with my painting process and some hobby tips.
Got a favorite old metal mini you’d love to see painted? Drop your suggestions below, I’d love to hear them!
Hey anyone who is still around, I am wrapping up work on my thesis and will finally be back to making videos in a week or so. I plan to begin with some models out of the Darkoath Army Set and experiment with the new Army Painter Fanatic paints, see you soon!
Sorry guys, some company that doesn't own the copyright to my background music that I legally license has been copyright-claiming a bunch of my videos, I hope to get back to making content soon.
