0:10
right so welcome back to farham videos
0:12
um no intro today or anything like that
0:14
i'm putting as much effort into this
0:16
video as joy joy toy have put into
0:19
making these models and i'll get into
0:21
that in a minute or at least what i
0:22
expect
0:24
it to be um
0:26
first thing i do still want to do a
0:27
question of the week so obviously this
0:28
is our second of the intercessor
0:32
factions they've released that aren't
0:33
ultramarine so we've had ultramarines
0:35
we've had death company and now we've
0:37
got some space walls um
0:39
what faction would you like them to do
0:41
like i'm essentially asking what your
0:43
favorite faction is but if you could
0:45
have any faction what would you have for
0:47
me it would have been blood angels i
0:49
have
0:49
a slight preference for the red fellas
0:51
but uh what is it that you would like to
0:54
see them make if it is just just another
0:56
set of essentially intercessors what
0:58
would you like to see them cover so
1:00
that's question of the week right let's
1:02
get into the box so let's look at the
1:03
box actually so like with the last box
1:06
it is
1:07
pictures on the front of the models that
1:09
you get inside so i'd imagine inside we
1:11
have some artwork
1:12
there's your chats one of them this is
1:14
the guy who i pointed out the face isn't
1:16
exactly the best sculpt on there and and
1:19
that doesn't seem to be based on any of
1:20
the miniatures whereas these are i can't
1:23
find which miniature that one's based on
1:25
so
1:26
i don't know why they've come up with
1:28
that sculpt it's not the best looking
1:29
and the other thing i noted when i saw
1:32
the
1:33
artwork for these which you'll notice
1:35
both on here and on the front is they've
1:38
done away with what was originally what
1:41
was the edge highlighting of the
1:43
ultramarine and death company models so
1:46
if you see here there's an ever slight
1:49
kind of over brushy dry brushy edge i
1:51
don't know if that's machined or hand
1:52
done but that does help the armor panels
1:55
pop out a bit more with that edge
1:58
highlighting kind of dry brushing and to
2:00
be fair that's the way i tend to paint
2:01
models anyway is the way i've done this
2:03
is just get some artists open series dmd
2:05
on it but these the promo artwork and
2:08
even here the artwork on the front
2:09
doesn't indicate any uh edge
2:12
highlighting which
2:13
a little bit upsetting with these
2:15
because they normally have kind of a i
2:16
don't know if it's fenrissian or rust
2:18
gray whichever one
2:19
is the one that is the lightest color is
2:22
it all throughout gray do you ever go up
2:23
that high
2:25
anyway
2:26
so
2:27
let me get into the box
2:31
so i do like when i order these online
2:34
um they come and they always have i mean
2:37
sometimes the box still gets a bit
2:39
crushed but the company that sends them
2:41
to me has like corner protectors on the
2:43
box which is a really nice advantage and
2:45
then as for price so things like the
2:48
invicta tactical war suit which just
2:49
stood right there because i've got
2:50
nowhere else to put it the thing is huge
2:52
um
2:54
is
2:55
it actually cost me like the invicta
2:57
wars cost me three pound less to import
3:00
than gw are charging for it online so
3:03
there's an interesting thing
3:04
and but that's good it means gw aren't
3:06
scalping us with tax hey we've got uh
3:08
the guy with the weird face straight out
3:10
so yeah they've got the cartoony artwork
3:13
again this time so
3:15
as we said in the previous videos
3:17
they've done away at least in this
3:19
package with the blind boxes and now
3:22
we've got these almost cartoony-esque
3:24
not quite official gwu but still a cool
3:28
art style
3:29
box style that they've done box design
3:32
and art style that they've done for
3:33
these so there we go and then it will be
3:36
slightly different artwork on the front
3:38
of each one but the the rest of them on
3:40
the back oh they've added these i don't
3:42
know if they did that on the previous
3:43
ones but they've added this little tick
3:45
to say this is the one in the box so
3:48
again don't know if they've done away
3:49
with it and they are as i say that it's
3:52
a very chinese product
3:54
there's hardly any chinese actually on
3:57
the box it's all in english
3:59
made in beijing and all that so
4:01
i don't know if that's a standard
4:02
practice these are the first things i've
4:04
actually really bought from china so
4:06
right then so let's just cut the boxes
4:08
straight away
4:10
i'm not going to spend a lot of time on
4:12
this one because you really you do know
4:14
what these look like by now you know the
4:15
quality of them you know they they can
4:17
come apart
4:19
very easily but i just want to get a
4:20
quick summary of the figures so
4:24
i will
4:26
put them out here
4:30
and i think you might have noticed
4:32
already there is no edge highlighting on
4:35
them
4:35
uh interesting though it seems like the
4:37
the recess shade
4:40
is now a brown
4:42
color rather than
4:44
the black color
4:46
it seems that way anyway i'll have a
4:47
look a closer look in a second
4:50
and have these got the tape on the side
4:52
no they haven't so that's good
4:55
right then so just pulling up the first
4:57
one that i've come to uh once again you
5:00
get the name in english
5:02
and then the explanation of him is in
5:04
chinese so if you want to quickly pause
5:06
the screen get google translate out and
5:09
try and figure out what that says
5:10
go for it but the problem i found with
5:12
these is games workshop has so many
5:15
like universe specific words that you
5:18
know things like uh space wolves
5:21
obviously is a unique thing so the word
5:23
space and the words wolves could
5:25
potentially be translated but it would
5:27
come with some very weird connotations
5:30
and and
5:31
things like that it just wouldn't
5:32
translate well but then there are some
5:34
words that exist within the 40k universe
5:38
that just don't exist anywhere else and
5:40
the translation of those could be uh
5:42
could be quite tricky so
5:44
let's just pop these guys out quickly
5:47
[Applause]
5:55
so it's nice at least that they haven't
5:57
taped these it's annoying when you tape
5:58
them because then you've got to
6:00
cut the tape off around the edges of the
6:02
boxes and i'm sorry about this noise
6:06
two
6:09
and i do like that with each of them now
6:11
and they've done this with the
6:12
intercessors but not so much with the
6:15
original um
6:16
intercessors and in cursors
6:19
where you can now have each model has
6:21
its own head sculpt or you can put the
6:23
helmet on
6:24
so
6:26
that's an interesting
6:28
addition that they've put on there so
6:30
just going to get them out i am going to
6:32
get this guy first so there we go let's
6:34
get you in focus
6:36
um
6:37
get too much shadow
6:39
[Music]
6:41
so yeah so he's
6:43
okay i guess
6:45
not really much to say about him i mean
6:47
the head sculpt doesn't look i don't
6:48
know if that's snarling chewing a toffee
6:51
um
6:52
confused or you know having a connection
6:56
what is going off there it's very weird
6:59
um
6:59
but yeah a couple of things to point out
7:01
so this the yellow is very brilliantly
7:04
yellow um the red i forget
7:07
what company this is um but i have got
7:10
some scratching on that shoulder which
7:13
is unfortunate because he's come well
7:14
packaged they do come with these sort of
7:17
belt things i don't know yep you can pop
7:19
the bits off the belt with these little
7:21
holes so i'm assuming it's the same for
7:23
this i'm going to break it yep so two
7:26
little accessories and they are on ball
7:28
joints so you can just pop those off
7:32
i'm not going to bother taking it apart
7:34
please see my earlier videos for taking
7:36
all the model to pieces it's really
7:38
simple you just
7:39
literally pull pull bits out and there
7:42
we go and it pops off nice and simple
7:45
so and then it should pop back on it can
7:47
be a bit annoying to get back in
7:48
sometimes because of trying to push that
7:51
in when the shoulder pad is also on a
7:53
ball joint which is why i'm not going to
7:55
go through and do the whole model but
7:56
again watch any of my earlier videos on
7:58
these things and you'll see how easy it
8:00
is um the the blue it's a little bit too
8:04
blue for me i mean i know i'm gonna
8:07
i'm complaining about
8:08
tiny little things there uh i think the
8:11
the shading is
8:14
it
8:15
i think it's black i think the blue is
8:16
kind of throwing my eyes to say it's
8:18
more of a brown but you've got that kind
8:20
of slight shade there so i'm going to
8:22
say that's that's black
8:24
weirdly this bit here that's molded on
8:26
um though the actual bit that you would
8:28
expect to connect to the armor doesn't
8:30
go on there and i said this in the blog
8:31
like the problem with these models let
8:33
me just pop them all out
8:35
is not so much joy toys work i think you
8:38
know the lack of some edge highlighting
8:40
maybe you know it seems that that's an
8:41
intentional design choice i don't think
8:44
they're being lazy i just think that
8:48
with these with these models
8:49
specifically perhaps the edge
8:51
highlighting just made them look a bit
8:53
too daft
8:54
um nice to see the the
8:56
different style of knife however for the
8:58
space wolf um but maybe the edge
9:00
highlighting just made them a little bit
9:02
too bright and not so space wolfy
9:05
so you know maybe that is as i said an
9:07
intentional design choice rather than
9:09
just something that they've decided oh
9:11
we're not going to bother with these
9:12
ones so there you go
9:15
some of the paintings so things like
9:16
that not the best
9:18
close to the camera so you know that
9:20
could have been recessed shaded a little
9:22
better um again the face just like the
9:26
armor in previous ones it has just had a
9:28
bit of a wash and an over brush so
9:30
they've done they've done like a flesh
9:32
color and a hair color and then over
9:34
brushed it with i'm guessing some kind
9:35
of vinyl paint or something like that in
9:38
order to just make the edges pop and
9:40
stand out but the good thing about these
9:42
is it is a nice firm plastic so you can
9:45
quite easily
9:47
repaint these as you so wish
9:50
um same with this guy you know again
9:52
it's all right unfortunately just
9:53
because they've done the over brushing
9:55
things like the eyebrows and and how
9:57
bright the beard is is just a little bit
10:00
too much makes sense on the hair makes
10:02
sense on the thicker beard but a short
10:04
little cropped goatee not so much
10:06
this guy again with his weird hair same
10:09
um
10:10
you know you've got a bit of over
10:12
brushing on some of the details i can't
10:14
get over how brilliantly yellow they are
10:16
they're almost a bit too yellow like
10:18
everything else with this wash in gives
10:20
it an ever slight grim darkiness but
10:23
then that yellow is
10:26
blazingly blight like that could have
10:29
been more of an ochre i would have used
10:30
this as the highlight color and then had
10:32
a deep ochre on there it does stand out
10:35
quite a bit and you know i would imagine
10:37
it doesn't quite match the is it yariel
10:40
yellow got some up here
10:42
that's horrifying one of
10:44
them one
10:47
flash gets yellow so you know it's gone
10:49
up to that bright which i know some
10:51
people do but
10:52
again it just
10:54
it's a bit garish for me i'd have gone
10:56
probably up to yauri or yellow and then
10:58
started with an ochre but hey that's
11:00
personal preference and then the gold i
11:02
just want to compare the gold to see if
11:03
it is a bit more of a
11:05
bronzy gold but
11:07
i'm not seeing much of a difference
11:09
between what's on the space wharf here
11:11
and what's on the
11:12
ultramarine in fact the only thing i
11:14
think is different is the fact that the
11:16
lighter blue
11:17
is
11:19
kind of throwing my eyes to suggest that
11:21
it is a different color but it's not
11:23
it's the same color to me
11:25
so i
11:26
again it is it's standard but i just
11:29
personally on my walls prefer more of a
11:33
more of a bronzy
11:35
gold in fact i think this is the one
11:37
that's kind of wrong
11:39
i think this has gone a bit too bronze
11:41
like that should be a brighter richer
11:42
more almost uh liberated gold whereas
11:46
both of them are a bit bronze so
11:47
actually that's the one i don't think is
11:49
quite right it's just gone a bit too
11:51
kind of muted brass whereas that
11:54
that does look right for a space wolf
11:56
now i'm looking at it
11:58
so that's it yeah and again things like
12:01
the accessories this is where my my
12:03
problem really with the range is i do
12:04
like uh the details they've added so
12:06
you've got the necklace and clearly what
12:09
they've done here is just looked at the
12:10
intercessors
12:11
or the space wolf squad
12:14
online and taken inspiration directly
12:16
from those models which unfortunately
12:19
since we've had primaris have been based
12:22
all around the um upgrade sprues which
12:26
until we have the black templar one the
12:28
faction specific upgrade sprues have
12:30
been quite lackluster in my opinion and
12:33
you do end up with stuff like this and
12:35
joy toy just like us have kind of gone
12:37
and we've got this weird shaped
12:39
accessory and this one i'm not really
12:42
sure where to stick it let's just wedge
12:44
it on the edge of the knee or under here
12:46
and again it's it's where people
12:49
struggle with a lot of these however the
12:51
previous iteration you know in the last
12:54
in the tactical marine scale you know
12:56
that ran from sort of a third edition
12:59
all the way up to i think seventh
13:00
edition uh before primaris came out
13:04
and then eighth edition onwards we've
13:05
had primaris um but prior to that things
13:08
like your space wolves were very space
13:10
wolfy so you know they wouldn't have
13:12
your aquila with your skull or your
13:15
eagle they would have all this stripped
13:17
off they would normally have like a wolf
13:18
skull or kind of some runic etching and
13:21
things like that but i can't blame joy
13:24
toy for this i think this is more you
13:26
know joy toy are doing really really
13:28
well with replicating the existing
13:31
sculpts into this scale and making some
13:34
really cool action figures with them but
13:36
unfortunately i think it's games
13:37
workshop that have let down the space
13:39
walls faction in that we don't have a
13:42
decent upgrade screw or set of upgrade
13:44
sprues like you get nine shoulder pads i
13:46
think you've got one command shoulder or
13:48
large shoulder and then uh
13:51
seven or
13:52
eight other standard shoulders and all
13:55
they are really is they've got the wolf
13:57
emblem for ragnar's first company
14:00
embossed
14:01
so sorry that's not company that i said
14:03
earlier that's your squad uh so yeah so
14:07
and it just again when you compare the
14:10
new primaries which i love
14:12
uh to the original
14:14
space wolves tactical marines like the
14:16
grey hunters and
14:18
those types of models then it's those
14:20
models all day that stand out for me
14:23
whereas the primaris are just very
14:25
generic they're basically them with a
14:27
necklace and they're a bit blue that
14:29
that's purely it so
14:32
this all this does is serve to remind me
14:34
that games workshop really need to get
14:36
their act together and sort out a decent
14:39
upgrade screw start making our space
14:42
walls space wolfy give us a way to get
14:44
rid of these aquilas and things like
14:46
that and get back to the more
14:48
traditional tactical style space morphs
14:51
tactical scale space wolf marine and
14:54
yeah so i think i've said enough about
14:56
that another couple of things worth
14:57
noting so loadout wise i think they're
15:00
all identical this time uh yeah they are
15:03
so everyone
15:04
everyone gets a bolter in a backpack
15:06
everyone gets four extra hands everyone
15:09
gets a helmet the sergeant however gets
15:12
a helmet or sorry the pack leader gets a
15:14
helmet with a little diamond on the
15:17
front
15:18
but he also gets a chain sword which is
15:20
nice to see that it's a space wolf style
15:23
chain sword in that it's double edged as
15:24
opposed to these ones that you get in
15:26
the assault marine sprue that came with
15:29
indomitus and and synths so that is nice
15:32
to see that they've gone to that extra
15:34
detail personally though i'm still a fan
15:36
of having my
15:38
weapons like uh chainsaws on space
15:41
wolves in yellow it's just i don't know
15:43
that's a personal preference thing but
15:44
you can easily paint them uh the whole
15:46
all the models you can pop them apart
15:48
and paint them and it might be something
15:49
i get to do at one point is strip these
15:51
down and make them more space-warping
15:54
and actually you know give them a much
15:55
more impressive look because there's a
15:56
lot you can do with bits like this
15:59
plastic i mean i want to secure it in
16:00
place first
16:01
but things like these these runic parts
16:04
and and the teeth you know it's just
16:06
that's clearly just had a wash over it
16:08
they are toys they are action figures
16:10
but the good thing about them is unlike
16:12
the mcfarland marines at least every
16:14
time i've come to or at least the one
16:15
time i've come to paint one of these is
16:17
i've just primed it and none of these
16:20
markings none of the transfers or
16:22
anything like that have caused any
16:24
raised edges
16:26
around the model so you know the logo
16:28
the ultramarine logo that was on here i
16:29
think maybe on the knee
16:31
all of those things have been covered
16:32
over easily in fact the
16:34
i've had more uh markings from
16:37
the dust and stuff in my room and i know
16:39
this guy isn't finished but he was just
16:41
kind of thrown together
16:43
as a paint job so yeah repainting them
16:45
if you wish to do is easy and you can
16:47
certainly get or pick out and highlight
16:49
a lot more cool detail in here i'd
16:51
really like to see
16:53
some of the top painters tackle one of
16:54
these joy toy marines at this scale and
16:57
show us just what you can achieve
16:59
with a model of this size like you know
17:01
pop a head off and do something like
17:03
that so come on guys i'm talking to the
17:05
likes of uh you know angel geraldes uh
17:09
richard gray those sort of guys so
17:11
that's my challenge to you uh if you're
17:13
out there listening uh get one of these
17:16
and get them painted we want to see what
17:17
your god tier level of painting skill
17:20
can do to them um as opposed to my
17:22
simple dry brush speed painting approach
17:25
anyway so let me know what you think
17:27
what what faction would you like what do
17:30
you think about these space wolf joy toy
17:32
marines they're good i like that they
17:34
exist i like that they are doing more
17:36
factions it suggests that you know more
17:39
factions are to come and it's good that
17:41
if you are a space wolves collector
17:44
rather than just an everything collector
17:46
like some of us are then you know you've
17:48
got a way to represent your your faction
17:50
in this scale like a squad of these
17:52
would look brilliant on your desk at
17:53
work just just posed kind of things i
17:56
hope you work in a place where they're
17:57
not going to get stolen um or most of us
18:00
work from home now so
18:01
you know it's gonna be family members or
18:03
or housemates that are stealing them if
18:05
uh if they do but
18:07
yeah so you know they really are great
18:09
models to have stood there and the
18:11
posability is awesome and it's nice once
18:13
again that we we noticed with the
18:16
previous models is these hands now are
18:18
far more flexible than the original in
18:21
cursors and infiltrators because trying
18:23
to pop them on and off the joint so you
18:25
could swap the hands was an absolute
18:27
nightmare
18:29
but yeah these much improved and yet
18:31
these ones are following suit with that
18:33
so let me know
18:35
as i said i think
18:36
yes space wolves woo
18:38
but
18:40
you know it's a it's a
18:43
lazy-ish
18:44
uh addition i would have liked to have
18:47
seen what they look like with with an
18:48
edge highlight but i expect that the
18:50
reason why they haven't is for creative
18:52
reasons
18:53
[Music]
18:55
i'm torn on them if you like space
18:57
wolves buy them
18:58
uh otherwise
19:00
don't
19:01
sorry i'm trying to think of a really
19:03
good conclusion to the video but uh yeah
19:07
i as i said in my article when i first
19:08
saw them my reaction to these is fairly
19:10
meh and i do like me some space wolves
19:13
they are cool i like the original
19:15
tactical ones as i've said and the
19:17
uniqueness of them
19:18
there's just not enough that's unique to
19:20
these and again i can't blame joy toy
19:22
for that i can blame games workshop give
19:25
us some better
19:27
faction-specific spruce games workshop
19:29
please we are begging you the black
19:32
templars one is a step in the right
19:34
direction but we want more of that and
19:36
you're more popular chapters are more
19:40
deserving of that kind of upgrade sprue
19:42
than some of the lesser frequented ones
19:45
such as the templars so give us dark
19:48
angels give us ultramarines give us
19:50
blood angels and give us
19:52
dark
19:53
blood
19:54
space wolves and so give us at least
19:57
those four chapters a decent massive
19:59
size upgrade spree with a ton of options
20:02
that's my conclusion for this video joy
20:04
toy yay games workshop
20:07
we want to give you money guys
20:09
give us reason to give you more money
20:12
that's it anyway let me know what you
20:14
think
20:15
that's it for this time nice quick video
20:17
faux hammer out
