Painting Warhammer like it's 1994. Looking back at Second Edition Warhammer 40,000 and the retro paint set of the mid 90s. I paint an Ultramarine Space Marine, a Warhammer Fantasy Chaos Warrior and an Eldar Guardian. Using basic painting techniques, this video is ideal for beginners looking to get into the world of Warhammer.

What was your first model? Do you want to see more second edition stuff? I've really enjoyed dipping back into the past, so just let me know. 😀

I'm most impressed that you were able to find a set of 1994 paints that aren't solid rock.

Poor Eldar still using guys from the 90s

As someone who got into the hobby as a ten-year old Eldar player in 2nd Edition, I just wanted to say, "You know what you have to do."

Smell is one of the most powerful senses.
You may "forget" how something smells, but the moment you smell it again, a torrent of memories and emotions come forward.

2 minutes in and we are already huffing paint

I love the idea of taking old and new miniatures and painting them in the old color scheme styles, even if the paints themselves are newer. I love the dynamic and bold colors that they used to use. Even some of the cartoony styles of old.

Oh my lord, these are great. There is a huge amount of nostalgia in this video. This needs to be 2 hours long. Goblin green and all the other great paint names.

Tune in to watch Olly literally huffing paint! In all seriousness, excellent video. Really appreciated the nostalgia, I remember buying this exact same set back in the mid 90s.

Guy literally spent minutes sniffing paint lmao

Oldhammer miniatures have a very special magic in their simplicity.

I think videos like these should make many enthusiasts happy. The painting guys show you grand schemes of light, shadow, and how to make the perfect metal gleam on a back pack after 100 layers of paint — and there we have 90s vintage models in their simplistic yet enjoyable colors.

Just shows you don’t have to treat all your models like a Golden Demon entry, and you can be happy with just a basic scheme and an enjoyable paint session.

This video almost made my cry. My dad used to take me to the local games store on the weekends for a new mini, playing with my brothers on the patio floor… the excitement of looking through the books and trying to replicate the paint jobs… simpler times.

brother out of this stratosphere before even getting to painting. Chill on the paint huffing fella.

I still think of the hexagonal pots as 'new', as I grew up in the older round ones lol

We bought a housepaint recently for our bedroom and it smelled BANG ON like goblin green. I was 12 again, it was excellent.

Love it

A full army in this style would be incredibly nostalgic. No crazy details or excessive technique, just clean basic colours, and it will look fantastic.
