Would really love to buy stuff there but they one take credit cards. I'm European. We use Debit cards here.
@@knackigbrot hey there, sorry about this, its an issue that popped up due to how the new shipping system works, its being worked on by the platform developer and they said they should have a fix soon.
@@knackigbrot Paypal is working again!
I hope the original owner sees that his models found a good home
The rogue trader way
came here to type this exact comment haha fingers crossed!
Dunno man, i liked the original better but atleast they are loved
4:25 -but they dont look ✨special ✨ *pulls out coolest infiltrator ive seen*
exactly what I was thinking
I can imagine them going back to the second hand shelf, and the original painter walking by the shop and just thinking 'damn, I guess I was pretty good at painting afterall'.
Super-sneaky stealth unit called "infiltrators"? Of course it's going to be painted in BRIGHT YELLOW on a purple planet! That's peak 40K, love it!
Nids must be colour blind. its like Deer that cant see Orange from Green
It makes sense, any one spots them, they just yell "YOU CANNOT SEE ME, XENO FILTH." and put the fear of the God Emperor into them.
Can’t see them if your eyes hurt just looking at them
@@PearlJam2k6 John Cena style? 😄😄😄👍
Truly some Imperial Fists logic in the best way possible.
Another EoB W. Jay did it again. Instead of insulting and dunking a secondhand model's paintjob, he kept it positive as usual.
I've been in a bit of a painting funk these past few weeks, but Jay, your enthusiasm, is rubbing off. Tonight, we paint!
keep it up
Wish my miniature shop had used minis too
I so wanna see more of this kinda rescue-restoration... where the original isn't paintstripped and lost forever, it's just cleaned up a little, neatened here and there. Takes a lot of skill to blend a new paintset into an existing one. I loved this so much, keeping the original paint and all just made my soul happy.
You could totally turn those into imperial fists and get a small Last wall protocol detachment to go with your black Templars.
Excoriators are SO COOL. I'm turning my artist action figure one into one even though I play Dark Angels cause they're so cool. For those who don't know: Bone color armored space Marines. Seems boring right? Cool part: Only damage that reduces the functionality of their armor is repaired. The rest is left and labelled with when where and what happened. So they just have this scarred armor with "lasrifle wound m39 whatever sector" "hormagaunt claw .... Etc all over
I love watching as Jay goes from being avid black templars to slowly slipping to just painting space marines whatever colours.
Ah yes, Luminous yellow, the most stealthy of colours.
You dont need to be stealthy when you are walking cover.
Luckily the space marines are still broken and op
@@slavaukraini1991 lol what game are you playing? Space marines are pretty bad rn.
No one to report your position when they're all dead.
Good thing yellow blends in with all colours of light, you can blind anyone if the yellow is bright enough 😂
I love buying pre-owned miniatures to add to my blood angels chapter project. I especially love buying people's converted space marines to add to it. I love the idea of having these miniatures with a history I dont know about before finding their way into my army.
That is awesome
This was a good video, but I can't imagine being at the game store and going "yooooo! They got space Marines! That's so crazy! I gotta have em! Never know when I'll have another chance to paint something as wild as a space marine!"
Every time EOB uploads I get super inspired and say “today’s the day, I will finally get my word bearers finished and they will look amazing” I sit down at my painting desk and remember why I lost motivation to finish the guys in grey
I think you did a great job of bring those bases to life, I'm sure that whoever owned these models would be very chuffed that you kept to their vision and were able to execute properly!
"THESE MODELS ARE MINE NOW", = "THE RING IS MINE SAM!"
Yes to the blue eyes works perfectly and love how they looked before and after
Man, they look great... never thought id be a fan of yellow marines, but they slap! Nicely done
Hey Jay, I think those are Marines Malevolent.
And they are awesomely done
The best chapter for cool kids eho can actually party
I don't believe they are, normally the Marines malevolent have a black torso and yellow pauldrons
This is super encouraging to me: When I think about someone being skilled at the hobby or the like I'm worried they'll be able to x-ray in on my mistakes (they will, but thats okay). But this also reminds me that that equally comes with the abilitybto zoom in on whatever idea I had in mind, even if it isn't executed perfectly.
That's such a good nugget of information about the white spray primer. I think thats spot on it dries in the air before hitting the model. I always wondered why sometimes my primer was dusty
I love used shelves at game stores. I've gotten so many models for my Orks and World Eaters, and even a lot for my less played armies. It's also nice to let friends know something they need is there too.
100% was a contrast paint, not base+wash like you thought. That looks exactly like how the yellow contrasts perform, or how they have for me! Also, I literally JUST got an order from epic basing! Thanks for being such a positive inspiration to my hobby!
Jesus Christ Jay, you didn't have to go that hard! They're amazing!
The Stormspeeder could look cool with more of a modern military paintjob (a desert cream or a dark grey) going through a thick cloud of dust (using polyester cushion stuffing or cotton)
Really love the enthusiasm for these and the mad respect you gave to their previous owner. Love love love the bright colors and coastline look. God bless you and your little menz.
❤ the way you respect the origional. Our hobby is a journey ( with no fixed destination) and these might have fallen off at an earlier point, to be picked up by you and taken up just farther along. 👍💪💪
Hay, just sayen, black templars hail from emperial fists...
Your enthusiasm and hapiness doing this always melt my heart. Thanks for everything Jay
I’ve only played incursors in combat patrol, but it seems like they’re actually pretty decent in melee. Those double combat knives are better than I expected.
I swear I've seen these exact minis at my FLGS that I game at in Wisconsin. Either that or someone had the same basing idea with the blue UV resin and cork. Beautiful Glowup for these models either way!
Ngl, I think a Storm speeder painted to match would look really good. Do a more elaborate base with the water splitting underneath and waves curling back in on themselves and a strip of the purple alien coral ground down the middle. I'm interpreting the landscape to not be super deep water but just kinda ankle deep viscous blue liquid everywhere.
Really great tutorial and explained on highlights. I want to make my repaint like yours in future!
A top tip to get smooth white primer is to use an airbrush and put the PSI up a LOT even up to 30 or 40. It helps atomise. Also don't be afraid of more thinner than you think.
One has to admire your creativity, Jay. The touch ups, and enhancements you made to those models look great. Keep up the great work you do. 😊😊
I love the original paint and bases for their retro feel
Love that used shelf, best spot for cheap stuff!
Wow your Black Templar incursor is fantastic!
Impeccable timing. I just starting assembling my Phobos squad for KT last night. Guess they're gonna be Imperial Fists now. Yellow Phobos armor looks great.
I absolutely love these rescue videos! Please make a lot more of them
Gritty primer can also happen in very dry air. I had to rework some Cadians who got a sandpaperlike finish when I primed in the middle of summer.
Great video as usual! I appreciate you building a story for the minis and nice paint job!
I really love this! Its a breath of fresh air seening a unique paint scheme!
I love the yellow, it make them more generic sci-fi wich ironically in Warhammer make them less generic. Also saturated yellow + lavender is such an underrated combination
Id love to see Jay get his hands on a chaos warhound and paint it up for his death guard. If he has enough paint
That leather looks like gryph-hound orange. I used it on my Beastmen. I think it's one of those single-pigment formulations.
I wish I was as lucky to get such cool stuff on a used shelf lol😋 Amazing paint job!
Brilliant work, they look fantastic in that scheme.
Nostalgia time! EoB doing weird and cool bases, it takes me back to simpler times :D
They look awesome. I love painting desaturated yellow. With guiliman coming in and changing up things with new units, who’s to say black Templar didn’t turn their “stealth recon” units into LOOK OVER HERE! Marines
Since those Phobos guys are yellow and you are Black Templar player, you could always find explaination that they are squad of Unnumbered Sons of Dorn. You know, Greyshields, those fresh Primaris guys who haven't joined any chapter yet.
This is awesome! More of these vids 🙌🏻
I like the concept of Yellow Imperial Fist marines working alongside Black Templars. Sons of Dorn who got each others backs!
I always love seeing secondhand models rehabilitated. :D The yellow and blue color scheme makes me wonder if Craftworld Iyanden captured and impressed them into their service? :P
This yellow color scheme work will fir Imperial Fist under the command of Sigismond, first High Marshal of the Black Templars .
Could make them a special strike team sub division calling them the 'Templar Hornet Infiltration Division', they come out of no where, strike fast and sharp on alien worlds, leaving as fast as they arrived.
The highlights on the Yellow are ok, but the ones on the Black are astounding, often Black painted details are dull,but these ones not.
Really been looking for a place to get basing bits from never heard of epic basing really loving what I am seeing over there.
I think this might be the best mini rescue out there
Love the yellow and purple! Very well done!
I think a good 1950s hot rod color scheme could help a stormspeeder...
On my most recent yellow marines (Infernus Squad), I've gone with a very bright, shining green for the eyelenses, and it looks gorgeous. Definitely worth trying if you keep going with making some more yellow boys. I can't give you the exact color, as I've been using a very cheap local store brand green for it - it has terrible coverage and needs 3-5 layers just to make for decent eyes, but the end result is wonderful. A good bright green would definitely make it easier.
10:08 once again, Imy brain hears you say, "your mom."
Heh, heh, shut up Butthead.
So I guess this squad were doing recon for an area when some Black Templars showed up, and instead of arguing they chose to share data? Or they got cut off and the templars are their to rescue them? All sorts of storytelling possibilities
I love this type of content. Awesome job!
I love the second hand section of my local store.
You gave them the HD treatment; keeping that original vibe.
What if that yellow glaze over the first layer of highlights was something like a florescent yellow (or a 50/50 mix of florescent and regular yellow) to try and give yourself a value jump without the de-saturation? Or some TMM gold highlights.
if you make them imperial fist they'll blend into your templars well
When you were drilling the side holes on the gun, the dude looked like was facepalming
I love the incursors and infiltrators 😅
>he drills out the holes in the sides too Oh, thank God. I thought I was crazy for doing that.
i do love the alien landscape
For sure one of my favorite things about buying used models is finding someone's previous work.
Just play them as black templars, but the yellow armor is an homage to the imperial fists and Sigismund.
Nice job! The colors really pop.
Bumble Bee marines 😂
great Project! i have done similar spice up's of most of the used models i've gotten... unless they are really bad, haha
I would love to see you do lamentors with a similar yellow
They look amazing! Now i want to paint something yellow!
Wow the purple really fits well
I love how well colour theory works on minis, my ultramarines have yellow bases and purple shading on their armour and it works so well together
jay they look incredible!!!
Love all your videos Jay!
it kind of gives me ARC Trooper Vibes, pretty cool
keep up the good work jay! such a banger video as always
Hey Jay, were those from Warpstorm Games? Great job making them look that much better!
Better believe it!
Another great video! Fun idea!
They look like wasps, and that vibe suits phobos armour, I think
Very nice project
I know exactly where he got those infiltrators cause I also bought ten of them that were in that exact same paint scheme
Great paint job! Though I do wish you had stripped off the grainy primer, it's unfortunately distracting
I wonder if the OG artist intended for them to be the Marines Malevolent, the color scheme isn't a perfect match but it does remind me of em
Could you do blood ravens one day please
this was super wholsome!
Jay: "Let's finish the Fight"
A good yellow paintjob always looks so nice. Wish I had the patients to do yellow lmao
Yellow is not that hard, it just requires some prep. Vince Venturella has a really good video on yellow.
I fucking love Imperial Fists
Now a show plate you can put them in, that adds to the bases, finishing this alien coast line. As for that Stormspeeder, you need a Landspeeder Storm, to fix them, they need a carry space for two or three troops extra. Then you're talking, since then you can speak Kill Team riding into battle. They simply are TOO small. Nor do they have storage for extra ammo, weapons, supplies or so. They are supposed to be space-jeeps, right? Jeeps could carry five folks and lots of gear, while pulling a trailer of some kind, along. They also made the Stormspeeder, look too Rhino like. Now, will you make more Yellow folks? Or alien landscapes? Like say a swamp? That might actually be something for a hoverbike, you know.
Who knew Jay was the reason the Admech invented cybernetic feet 😅
