hey guys jay here welcome to eons of battle there are a huge number of
awesome miniature making companies out there i have bought from many of them
and have always been blown away by their quality and especially
their creativity so in this video i want to show off the 10 best minis i found from around the web
40k is a wonderful world but it has grown far faster than gameserv shop can supply us with a
necessary plastic crack sure if you want to play primaris you're taken care of but what if you want
to play an imperial guard regiment known as the maccabian janissaries or what about the backwards
eldar exodites who decided to shun technology these and dozens of other obscure armies do not
have the appropriate models from games workshop but luckily for all of us there is a huge
community out there producing very 40k inspired models of whatever your heart desires it's
probably out there somewhere in the stars this list is made up of companies i have bought from
in the past and i will buy from in the future and starting off this list is the unforgiving chaplain
i collect chaplains from a black templar space marine army and i have almost finished acquiring
every one games workshop has ever made and i'm thinking about dabbling into alternative models
and on top of the i can't believe it's not chaplin list is the unforgiven chaplain from artelw he
is dripping with grim gothicness he would make a fine addition to my collection this model is sick
with almost enough skulls 22 by my count and with plenty of bones to go along this guy would make an
exceptional count as chaplain model i might have to add a squad of primaris reavers into my space
rain army so that i can have this guy flanked by a whole squad of skull helmeted badasses
number 2 the lady inquisitor albus snow artelw has many great inquisitor models but this one
is my favorite i might even like it more than inquisitor grey fox i love the suit of medieval
armor look more than the steampunk pilgrim and the not the snow white with the apple it's funny
to think of snow white ordering exterminatus on a planet perhaps she ordered the extermination of
the squats to get rid of a certain seven dwarves it also comes with the king of the servo skulls
and that's fun number three grox morkatansky aka not mad max it just so happens that i am
in the process of building a 40k orc army based on the best movie ever made mad max fury road the
heart-pounding adrenaline-fueled feature-length car chase from the man who brought us happy feet
is so inspiring to me that i cannot help but want to recreate those dusty car battles on
the tabletop this model is 100 not max rocketansky it's mork morkatansky completely different i can't
wait for this guy to join the ranks of my orcs and for added fun they give you the option to give him
the terminator lever action shotgun from t2 or a flaming orc skull head because why the hell not
number 4 rogue trader captain aka not the guy from firefly and it is not this model shares no
similarities between nathan fillion or captain malcolm from firefly this is simply a dashingly
handsome inquisitor with a power sword and a last pistol but if you want a good inquisitor that has
a fun dusty science fiction adventure short-lived tv show kind of aesthetic look no further he also
comes with 4 last pistol arms for dual wielding obviously but with a bit of green stuff he would
make a wonderful and hilarious jean steeler keller morph number five the exo lords combat squad from
anvil industries if you like reasonable marines or iron hands these should be your best friends
if you want 100 customizable space marines with laser sights and grenade launchers look no further
anvil industries is a wonderful resource to look at if you love the look of high-tech weapons
i love the gothic aesthetic of space marines but i have been known to stare longingly at
all this tacticool kit that would look right at home on some space marines maybe one day
if you thought that the call pattern primaris armor was a soft reboot
perhaps you could use the exo-lord armor and really bring your marines into the 42nd century
number six pin up jungle commissar i don't know why but it seems like the katachan characters
from gamesworkshop just didn't hit that hard the warhammer store near me still has copies of the
katachan colonel and sergeant ripper jackson on shelves maybe if they had been as glorious as
the anvil industries jungle commissar they would have moved more copies he looks fabulous with his
six-pack on display and his biceps poppin and what could only be described as a gentlemanly bulge
this is the jungle commissar we need and the one we deserve i would love to paint this guy up and
i think he would need a triple gloss coat to really bring out his hot sweaty physique
what it gets hot in the jungle and in addition to fun lists like this we make wargaming tutorials
each and every week and if you want more the best way to support us is over on patreon
over there we get to vote on what i paint live on youtube some behind the scenes and other
exclusive contents number 7 plaguelings these guys are hilarious they are a departure from the
fat cherub style of nerglings that games workshop makes but are somehow even more cute i really hope
games workshop brings nurglings into kill team because i want to put these guys into my plague
marine roster they are horribly disfigured but still capture that charm that nurgle models carry
also nergling is a fantastic name but plaguelings might be even better number eight the copta can
for me this is the only way i can envision an orc def copter now now that i have seen the kromlek
orc copta a model that does away with just about everything that makes a helicopter a helicopter
i can't go back i have seen perfection what more could i want this machine is the pinnacle of orc
tech and it comes with everything that an orc def copter can take i always wondered how def copters
took buzzsaws i just assumed that the orc driver had it but the idea of a mechanical arm just
halfhazardly swinging off the side completely ignoring all physics i find outstanding number
nine the necroborg general griffis aka not general grievous from star wars fame and also not a necron
overlord this guy is incredible i don't know where they drew inspiration for this model but it is
absolutely inspired this guy would look incredible flanked by some necron lich guard with swords and
boards i don't know why but i feel like this fella would have a wheezy cough and say general kenobi
a lot i love when we see mashup stuff like this and when it is pulled off so perfectly it creates
a must-buy model also if you look at the commissar he is perched on you can see that he has been torn
in half and that's just fun and finally number 10 the greater good cyber bike aka not akira i
don't know what this model would be useful for in a tau army but a towel on a sweet sci-fi bike what
is there not to love this model is chock full of fun little details that make it so wonderful
the little hoof pedals a slot in the back for a little drone and the tau biker badass with
a hipster haircut i don't have any interest in starting a tau army but i might need to buy this
model i have a small handful of wargame exclusive models and they have always been flawless
i kind of love that they didn't feel the need to slap guns anywhere but i would have liked an
action pose riding tao in addition to the badass we have here and that concludes my list and what a
list it was although games workshop is a flagship that has given us the wild world of 40k it's
really fun to see what the community has come up with to supplement the catalog and also i have one
honorable mentioned and it is this you're welcome and those are 10 of the best not quite 40k minis
i've seen around the web i'm sure i missed a ton so please let me know in the comments below what
are some gems that you've found i hope you enjoyed the video and as always thanks for watching
