Making Warhammer like it's 1995!

As a 90s kid, I was really hoping for flannel shirts, acid wash jeans and Seattle grunge all over this video, but I’ll settle for goblin green bases and card cut-out terrain.

"really old issues" Sees issues that I have on my shelf from when I was a kid...

The classic technique was/is to stick the paper onto cereal box cardboard. Stronger and more durable than paper alone.

1) Where's the "official" cardboard dreadnought? 2) paper squidward houses for everyone.

Ohhh, I had this issue and built that bunker as a kid. It was eventually crushed by my old Space Fleet box.

I remember when these bunkers came out. I actually just got my ruler, compass and protractor out and drew my own pattern on to the back of some cereal packets. Also, if you layer up the arches, aquilas etc, attach it to a solid base and use a bit of pollyfiller to add some texture, it looks way more solid than a bit of folded card.

Do not use flock for bases, its heresy. Instead Glue sand, paint with goblin green and drybrush with yellow.

It's so cold, we can see our breathing 😂 Here in Canada, in winter, our nose hairs freeze inside our noze 😅

Murray: No streaking grime for these space bears Jazza: I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

Yep. feeling real old, cause I would personally consider modular marines and "dark eldar' to be modern miniatures. Retro (for me) is mono-pose plastic and metal, with pva and sand bases, none of that posh flock. Our terrain was of course 3 tier hills carved from white packing foam, coated in the previously mentioned pva + sand... placed directly onto a ping pong table in the garage lol. TBH, I don't really miss retro, todays toys are much better. Oh and Pro tip from my 12 y/o self some 30 years ago: Glue stick those templates onto some cereal box cardboard before cutting them out to get your bunkers nice and ridged.

As a teenager, I made those papercraft bunkers and fighting positions from white dwarf for our battlefields. A year or so ago, I got inspired by seeing them again, and had the idea of building them again, only out of foamcore and heavier duty materials. They came out pretty good, though I am yet to paint them. Eventually that will happen.

Jen I think its really awesome they posted an official GW article and you are listed as one of their favorite artists! Well deserved I think everyone at TTT are all talented hobby artists. Thanks for inspiring me constantly.

Lovely work! You're only missing one thing for teh true classic... foam balls with toothpick inserts to make Space Cacti! Green cacti with bright red needles jutting out, stacked on top of one another? they were a staple of pics for a good reason! Quick and easy to make, should throw a few together for the future.

You are right, the paper cathedral is awesome, and it held up great

We used to use metal toothpaste tubes cut up for our banners, you could get some nice folds on them.

For those who don't want to fiddle with printing on cardstock, you could always print the designs on normal paper, then glue them to cardstock afterwards.

I missed this era, but grew up with a stack of about 70 White Dwarf magazines from the 90s so this is the Warhammer I first loved. Great video!

I loved seeing the old techniques. This video made me smile today, i like it.

I think you should do a 90's style battle report, complete with cutaways at the end of each round recapping the carnage. Doesn't necessarily have to be using rules from 2nd or 3rd edition, just as long as the vibe is overwhelmingly neon!

With that kind of fold up terrain, a good thing to do with it is to grab some sharpies and take ones that come close to the colors and hit the corners/fold lines there. Also, while paper banners were one thing, some of the metallic tubes of stuff being cut up for banners was another major thing, a bit of a sand to rough it up and a layer of spray paint works with it.
