hey guys jay here welcome to models memories weekly episode 53. models and memories is a
show about nothing and is filmed in front of a live studio audience this is a show where i talk
about my painting modeling and worrying experiences from the week now you might
think to yourself jay you put out three youtube videos a week and you stream every single night
how could you possibly have more to say well i do and here goes this week i didn't get much personal
painting done or any personal painting done but i worked on a bunch of stuff for a bunch of stuff
that you will be seeing soon but i did see that games workshop showed off a brand new model and
it looks pretty snazzy rising from the dunes it's the first sighting of an ash waste nomad and this
is a new model for necromanda which looks like a really cool game i don't know if i have room
in my life in my heart for more games there's so many games out there that look really really cool
but time i have none but necromunda ash wastes the ash wastes are the land that's around high
world or high of cities and so usually you have cities that are the size of continents and then
you just have barren desolate dry deserts full of full of mutants it's exactly like judge dredd
but this is a really really cool model i i'm super conflicted on if i'm looking
at a plastic model or a forge world resin model because i feel like i see
i see things that point me in both directions there's something going on a little weird
with the fabric on his shoulder but it also it also looks a little i could believe it i could
believe it if you showed me this unpainted and it was plastic underneath i could believe that too
and it's also tricky because forge world sells models for necromanda and games workshop sells
models for necromanda so i don't know i think if i had to bet money i think i'd go plastic
but my eyeballs are telling me resin but this guy looks dope if this is a full 10 man 10 man
necromanda team it's gonna be really really cool so games workshop has this weird habit when they
show off one mini that's part of a box set they seem to always pick one that doesn't perfectly
show off everything and i wonder if that's the case here because this guy is cool but i don't
think that he's like the sergeant i don't think he's the norm he's got some kind of a sniper rifle
and so it'll be really interesting to see once you can get a look at all of these guys together
and he does have a robot foot and in the teaser video they showed off at lvo you see a metal foot
stomping a guy and so this this might be the guy from that video but i really like the model it
reminds me it reminds me of a lot of things from a lot of different things it reminds me i could
believe this is like a little bit of a dooney sort of guy i mean i know the dune still suits her like
very fitting and stuff but i could also believe like that like there's other tribes that are a
little bit more ramshackle it's very mad max which makes sense because the ash wastelands
and it's very star wars-y i could totally see this guy walking around in the background on tatooine
he's a little tuscan raidery but i really like it everything i see from necromanda looks dope
i really really like it it's just it looks like a neat game and i love that it's a not
it's a non-competitive game really it's a much more narrative driven game which is great
because uh 40k games except for maybe kill team and warcry they're not really nice tight
well-written rules competitive games they're they're much more story-driven social social
events but this is this is a mighty cool model i can't wait to see them show off more of it
and i know that the ash wastelands also have a lot of like vehicles and so i would love to see
some sort of crazy vehicles that would be great to kit bash and convert into maybe orcs or jean
steeler cult for big 40k i think that would be super super cool the genestealer cult could use
they don't need anything but i think that they would be great to have options because right now
the only way to build your jeans dealers really is as
like mining people from a mining world they're all wearing mining fatigues they're wearing mining
boots their vehicles are mining equipments i think it'd be great to have some options
maybe a gene sealer called uprising on a world that looks more like necromanda a little bit more
ramshackle and tribal or it'd be cool to have jane steeler cults on a very nice world you know with
royalty and beautiful clothing i think i think there's a lot of fun things you can do with jeans
dealer cults but right now we get mining mining guys and that's that's good enough but i want more
so this week i did a lot of thinking about space marines in my favorite game kill team
and it's pretty wild that games workshop hasn't come out with a dedicated space marine team yet
well they do they did in the compendium which was what i was talking with people about this week but
they haven't come out in with their own unique rules either in a white dwarf or in a doubles box
which is crazy it's crazy that space marines who usually get everything
i wouldn't seem to have gotten that much love this edition but uh i was thinking about what would be
the greatest way to bring out space marines and i had an amazing thoughts that games workshop will
never do but it is very fun to think about and that is you know what have they been doing with
these doubles boxes they've been coming out with new units either ones that have never existed or
something that does exist with a little bit of an upgrade sprue to give you the special weapons
that you need to play kill team and so it kind of gives games earthshop an opportunity to do
one-off things or to supplement things that they already have and i think part of the
reason maybe that why they haven't done space marines yet is because they're boring like one
of these doubles boxes just with some you know intercessor space marines would be super lame
but here's what i think they should do i think that they should come out with a box
a new space marine tactical marine box i think that will and you know have them true scaled have
them look you know basically exactly like primaries because that's what primaris is
but having the old armor the old helmet options and some of the old armor marks
sprinkled in there with more true scaled space marine weapons i think people would absolutely
lose their minds especially since the old tactical marine box is going to come out 2016 it's pretty
bad we've gotten a lot of tactical marine boxes over the years and when i bought that box in
2016 i'm like damn this looks a lot better than the old fifth edition space marine plastic box
it's not that much better they've got weird wasp wastes they're very buzz lightyear in proportion
and i just they look so bad it's so hard to have your tattle marines sitting next to your
beautiful awesome primaris marines and so i think games are extra because games are trap is phasing
out classic marines which i think is fine but i think it'd be really cool just to keep the classic
tactical squad around maybe even down the road have them be just veteran space marines you've got
your you know you got your intercessors reavers and cursors and then you have your veteran marines
who wear you know just hodgepodge armor and carry different types of weapons and i think that would
be the and i think kill team would be the perfect way to do that because you can come out with one
box of them with no expectations of more things to follow just like the krieg veteran guardsman
people were clamoring for plastic creek forever and now they have them and they
have them in a way where they don't have the pressure of having to build heavy weapon teams
and and uh sergeant box and stuff they can they can just put out krieg and let people who want it
have it and i think they could do the exact same thing with tactical marines i think
of all the things that exist for the firstborn i think plenty of them can go the rhino i i love
the rhino but the more i look at the rhino the more it's just a rectangle it is just a rectangle
some things i absolutely do love the drop pod the land raider terminators
only those three things everything else i think can fade into the background and we can get
new cool primaries stuff to fill its place but i think games workshop should definitely do tactical
marines and they have to come out with it in a doubles box so i think it should be tactical
marines versus not jeans steelers tyranids i think that that would be a super cool doubles box
but there's two things that they can do i guess both equally unlikely this is i'm just making up
a complete you know hopeless wish list box here new jean steelers because we need them games
workshop genius dealers are like one of the other big things from 40k they're in every single video
game they're in every boxed game space hulk lost patrol they're in everything but they're still old
plastics i've built 30 plastic jeans dealers and they have six limbs a piece all with terrible mold
lines i have literally spent years of my life scraping mold lines off of jeans dealers it's
atrocious either put the new 2022 tactical marines in a box fighting brand new jean steelers
which is not even that crazy because they already have done it there was new plastic jean steelers
in uh death watch overkill and there was new plastic jean sealers in space hulk we have
modern jean steelers in plastics but they don't make them they still make the old old plastics
but i would i would love to either have space marines versus new jean steelers there'd just
be mwah that'd be perfect or i would love to see tyranid zombies it would step on the toes
of nurgle just a little bit but i think they could come up with ways to do it differently
i i really i've seen some people do kind of gross disgusting zombie-ish tyranids before
usually making heavy use of units that can bring in spore mines i would almost love to do a tyranid
sporemine army just because it's such a it's such a specific gimmicky take on the tyranids
i would really really like to see something like that but i think you have a box that has you know
dead tau and dead space marines and dead imperial guard maybe some dead orcs dead dead
um eldar knife ears have them all in a box together with like weird tyranid pustules
and maybe little little claws and mouths coming out of different areas a lot like the flood from
halo how they have like those different forms you got the the bomb guys and you got the quick guys
i think you have a box of those i think it would add just another
interesting flavor to the tyranids um it might be a little bit too much of a chaff unit because
tyranids already have the origami termigons but i think there's a way i think there's a way to do it
maybe even have a unit maybe like the parasite of mortrex or something similar
that in big40k can infect units and then you can put down the zombie models maybe they're
not even models but they're tokens of some sort of a special effect i would love to see that
i think it'd be gross i think it'd be weird i think it'd be nasty i think it'd be hilarious
and i think it would make for a really really interesting kill team team because the one one
one of the great things about kill team is how well balanced it is but one thing that's is
now kill team is really well balanced and it's really really good but i think we could use some
really really well-made gimmicky teams maybe teams that aren't as efficient as some of the
other teams available because they're not gonna have like the sniper the fast mover
the fighty guy the combat guy the buffing guy but maybe if you could come up with a team that
is made up of these weird zombies who can do who all have kind of
different abilities maybe they have disgusting resilience and they have different ways to stay
on the board maybe they don't have a lot of good shooting options but they're just so tough
like pox walkers are a good example of a units they don't have guns they're not good in combat
but and they don't actually have that many wounds disgusting really resilient will keep them alive a
little i would love to see almost 10 bodies three up save disgustingly resilience like just bad
close combat weapons just models that are going to be an absolute pain to knock off the board but
they're not terribly scary and threatening they're just hard to fight i think that that would make
for a really really cool kill team and you know who would be great to fight those undead zombies
tactical space marines ah it would be so cool and then you could you could you know people
who really really like the old space marines they can buy boxes of these kill team tactical
space marines and then sprinkle them in throughout their their primaries marines that they already
have and then you can get back to that mishmash of different armor marks because i know some people
really miss differently shaped knee pads and hate the primaris because you know this guy's
you know they all have the same knee pad whereas back back in tactical marine times they were
very slightly different knee pads and that made all the difference in the world to some people
but i get it i like the old space marines too i like the new space marines too but
i like the old space marines and i think it'd be cool to kind of give them one last hurrah
before letting them all fade into oblivion i think we'll always probably have just a little sprinkle
of of the old space marines but i do think primaris is going to come in and change everything
and i think that's probably for the best it'll be interesting to see how they get rid of all of the
characters that they've ever made because it's gonna be a lot of work although i've been loving
the new primaris characters i mean adrax agatone is one of the best models ever made mephiston lord
of death probably is the best model ever made uh and the old the old guys a lot of them sculpted
by juan diaz who's an amazing sculptor and made some of the best models games our shop ever made
uh they're just they're getting a little old they're getting a little small they just they
just don't bring the oomph like they used to and so i think i think it is time for a change but
i don't want to see too much change i want to see one new one more box of tactical marines and then
that can be the end of classic space marines the the king is dead long live the primaris
i really like primaries they're neat but speaking of things that are neat this show is talking about
my hobby experiences from the week and i went to a very old weird game store this weekend
it was it was a real blast from the past it was just a sign on the side of the road pulled off
went to it and it was an old dusty store wooden shelves everything just littered and rc car parts
trains literally you had to kind of like kind of had to keep your arms tight so
that you weren't knocking things off of the shelves because it was everything was arranged
so haphazardly but they had some neat stuff i mean they had everything you can think of
rockets that looked like they may have caught on fire at one point motorized boats a half
you know half of a drone a fish tank that was green from algae it was it was kind of a fun
experience walking around there and i found a really interesting product
this model kit from star wars i've seen this floating around the interwebs for a while and
skill level two i think i have finally caught up that i can potentially build something like this
but this is a fairly poor quality replica of jabba's palace which
of i'm not the biggest fan of return of the jedi but uh the jabba's palace stuff is probably some
of my favorite stuff in the entire movie uh if i have to give my official star wars ranking
right now i would definitely say uh star wars a new hope 1977 empire strikes back episode seven
episode i'm not doing i'm not doing rogue one or solo okay so here we go
we gots we got a new hope empire strikes back episode seven and then we've got eight nine
one
three two yeah that's what we'll go with
so if your list doesn't follow those exact things uh just know you're wrong
although i mean i'm sure my list milo's change is like the tides i mean i i it's whatever star
wars movie i've seen most recently is usually my favorite but that's my list for right now
but i'm excited to give this a try i've built a couple of star wars model kits over the years
i really get a kick out of them and this one should be super fun because it's a real diorama
it's got it's got a cheapy cheap vacuum-formed plastic base that represents the floor of jabba's
palace it's got a couple of walls and it's got uh it's got plastic tiny plastic versions
of all of our favorite characters like droopy mccool sly snoodles elephant sky
jabba the hutt the job of the hutt in here looks terrible i cannot wait to paint it
but i'm super yak face i think yak face is in here all of our favorite characters from star wars
max rebo bib fortuna i hope salacious be prom is in here what i want to try cause i did this with
a luke's pod racer from episode one it's kind of a lame model kit but i took it and i gave it a 110
and i made it really really cool i think i believe you can see me talk about that on the first
ever episode of models memories weekly so if you're interested in that go check that out but
i want to put another 110 effort into this and see how good can i make this because i've seen
i've seen people build this um and it's not good everything is a little soft the details
aren't there the scaling is very very awkward but i wanna see how good can i do this box
i don't know if it'll be a video i don't know what's gonna happen but i'm gonna give it a shot
very excited to have found this literally caked in dust in the corner in the corner of an old of an
old hobby store there was literally a squirrel in the store we were walking around and just
it was it was pretty great and you know what else is pretty great that's right our patreon
over there you'll gain access to tons and tons of super cool terrain if you if you saw the video we
put out this week it was a beautiful video of us building all of the terrain it was amazing
go check it out it was wonderful but what was i talking about oh yeah you also get access to some
behind the scenes voting role models i paint live here on youtube a weekly live hobby hangout one
extra episode of eob a week and more we also have merch we got some fun t-shirts
and sweatshirts very comfortable sweatshirts with some fun hobby related designs but that
is what i did this week i can't wait to give this dumb box of build and thanks for watching
