"Soon" is a relative concept...

from all the rhinos i have gotten from family members i never realized some of these were the first set of rhinos

[ironbomb]

This video will become of historical important in the future, once us old original 40k guys are dead. These early model kits were well covered in this video. As a near dead old guy, I approve. 👍❤

I know this is about the Rhino. But those shots of the plastic Predator were a delight. This is great content, ace work.

[RSBurgener]

I am the audience you were trying to please, so thank you for your hard work. I found this fascinating. I began the hobby in 1996, but money was limited, so my experience was limited. I am all-in today with my Iron Warriors, especially the vehicle pool, so it's very interesting to see all the things that I missed.

[Deadshot]

Ahh the Mk1 Whirlwind, lovingly reffered to in our group as the Crayon launcher.

Good times.

[aaronbrown]

Always and forever my favorite Rhino (100% due to nostalgia lol)

[dutchdigger]

Thank you! Thanks alot for reminding me just how old i really am.

[flagenemyinsight]

I have all of these models. Even the chaos predator with the whirly blades. Your trip down memory lane has convinced me to pull them out and revive them.

[brynnyon]

New favorite niche 40k channel. Love the content!

[kingfield]

My period of gaming for sure. Loved making those home conversions of the Whirlwind and the Vindicator. I also converted one into a Termite launcher and scratch built the burrowing part myself, good times.

Great video with some good laughs. One note is the Razorback mk2 also had a different gun shield with the different guns and gun mount. Overall though a great walk through my early gaming years!

[tremolo_painter]

I keep coming back to this video, to work out which variant I want to work on next. Thank you for this reference material.

Ok, you got yourself a subscriber, I had been enjoying the video so far but the little touches like pixelating the Slanesh Icon just after mentioning it...yeah, I like that.

rescued a few MK 1 tanks with metal kits. This is the grimdark level of tech that I love. White metal is so sexy.

[Cziro_]

I just saw my teenage years and first WH models..Thanks mate! NOSTALGIA ALERT! XD

I recall looking for the all plastic Predator in the early 1990s as it has disappeared from the GW branches and mail order. A GW shop staff member told me that the predator mould had been damaged at the factory which is why the kit disappeared so abruptly. Not sure how much faith I put by that story looking back.

[dove]

Um, sir, I need more. This is excellent content. How the hell do you only have this many subscribers?

[gregq]

Fantastic job, I'm looking forward to the restoration of 2 (3?) vehicles. I love the dome shape of the first predator turret, but the ork in me loves the angularity and rivets on the metal sponsons of the later ones.

[laurencerushton]

Great video, though it reminded me of when I was young and what felt like centuries without a Land Raider kit.

[MetzoPaino]

Honestly this is fascinating 🤞 for more!
