STRIPPING an ARMY - The HORUS HERESY Diaries

Welcome to The Horus Heresy Diaries! or should that be "The Horus Hearsay"?
In this video, we strip an entire Warhammer 40k army back to bare plastic, preparing for a complete repaint in glorious World Eaters colors. Join us as we take on a chaos of mismatched paint jobs, abandoned schemes, and half-finished models—including a Spartan, Cataphractii Terminators, and a battered Contemptor Dreadnought—and give them a fresh start. If you're a fan of Horus Heresy, you’ll love this honest look at hobby progress, setbacks, and starting over.

We cover everything from choosing the right stripping method, using methylated spirits safely, and scrubbing dozens of miniatures clean, all while sharing stories and lessons from years of hobby trial and error. Whether you're into Night Lords, Blackshields, or the mighty World Eaters, this is a must-watch for anyone thinking about stripping paint off their Warhammer miniatures and committing to a proper legion.

Perfect for hobbyists deep into the Horus Heresy or longtime Warhammer 40k fans who’ve got a forgotten army lying in a box, this episode blends real progress with fun, frustration, and a lot of paint flakes.
