"GW has been around so long there's basically two minis of everything" Me: sheds a single eldar tear.
-
I remember the Assassin Codex was only $5, and the Assassins themselves came in blisters for about $8 each. So, you could get all the Assassins and the supplement for about the same price as just one Assassin today.
-
I still like the old style, they're not as good close up. But on tabletop the contrast and colours makes the model stand out more.
-
Jay - "I'm like a 40k archaeologist" I got that book when it came out. Way to make me feel super old.... I am literally a dinosaur by this comparison 😔
-
When you realise 2002 is retro. I'm old.
-
RIP Wayne England. Fantastic GW artist for many years who is sadly no longer with us.
-
I remember buying that original assassin's codex. I was so pumped to have a "sniper" on my army
-
That 3rd edition Codex Assassins was free in an issue of White Dwarf magazine. And as White Dwarf was badass awesome back then, it didn't irk anyone at the price. :D
-
I feel like you desperately need to paint the rim of the base in a bright green when you're doing these retro paint jobs. It just feels right.
-
Although I didn’t grow up in the 80s I have a soft spot for fantasy worlds during that time and the artwork that came from it He man/ Thundercats Heavy metal landscapes Dark crystal/ willow All just have that feel of mysticism and bad assery
-
On him sticking out, he's a sniper. He finds a place several miles out, and sits there for days or maybe weeks until he lines up the perfect shot. Then the target dies.
-
Man, this really has a strong 90's vibe to it with the blue-that-should-be-black suit. Really cool. Edit: you know whaaat, this color scheme would make for some amazing Crimson Fists. I mean, you got the dark blue and the bright red spot on
-
That blue paint made me think of the old "The Phantom" comics.
-
Proud if owner of Codex: Assassins since it was released, and still have it in great condition. That feeling :)
-
The "old" book. Man I remember when that came out when I was in high school. Every army had a assassin there after.
-
I remember buying that book at my local GW to be able to add a Callidus or Eversor Assassin to my Deathworld Veterans army (I dated myself even harder with that reference lol - that's a gorgeous old Codex I highly recommend owning btw). When I got home with it, I reacted the same way you did at the beginning of the video - I was genuinely surprised to discover later on you're not another old hand like me, you certainly have the love of classic 40k.

"It belongs in a museum!" ...a Museum of Battle, to catalog the Eons.
-
“You can’t spell ‘assassin’ without ass! Twice!” Ok, i laughed out loud at my desk at work.
-
I've been in the hobby for just under 30 years now, whilst I love the models we get these days but there's something so cool about the old-school models. Saying that, two out of my last three purchases was a squat from '85 and the original Imperial Assassin from '86, thank the Holy Throne of Terra for eBay sellers.
-
When you mentioned Judge Dredd, it make me think about the Arbites and how I wish there was a special Arbites character unit Imperial Armies could take that were similar to the Assassins. A special character unit that specializes in locking down and subduing other characters, perhaps.
