Thanks for watching! Remember to sub and give a thumbs up if you haven't yet! Thanks! Note: I wanted to add that it's weird seeing GW add so many regular paints to their Introductory set when Contrast was clearly designed to be quick and easy to use. A lot of beginners have a great experience trying Contrast over white primer. They see results very quickly, and it ups their motivation to keep going. This would be another thing I'd tell GW to change. Add a few Contrast paints.

Skaventide is an absolutely exceptional box. It's easily the best starter set I've ever bought.

People were calling Skaventide a failure before it even hit shelves simply because it didn't sell out within the first 2 minutes in on the GW website on preorders. It's far too early to tell if it is a failure or not, as it hasn't even been a week. That being said, Skaventide knocked it out of the park with the models and content. My only complaints are minor things: The box is flimsy, there's no dice, and the amount of models can be overwhelming, but that last part is part of the fun.

Really look forward to your reviews of the various Spearheads!

Im so glad skaven tide is on shelves still. I can actualy get my hands on stuff

65$ for 5 liberators and paints. Brutal

The push off frames are great, I wish they did more stuff with them because they have fewer burs than using clippers on normal sprues

There were only a few models I was interested in Skaventide, I was mainly interested in the Spearhead rulebook and deck, so the Ultimate set is really good in my opinion. Will check out the launch prices and if its alot cheaper then I'll snag one, otherwise I might end up biting the bullet and getting Skaventide down the line.

With the 40k ultimate starter set vs. Leviathan, I can see the allure of the former: it has terrain, boards and the mini-rulebook that were not in Leviathan. But I really don't get what is the point of the AoS Ultimate Starter Set next to Skaventide... If Skaventide was no longer available, sure. But unless they deliberately pull it from stores, it will be around for months with how things are going. Even one of the smaller local game stores shows over 70 copies in stock and the tiniest game store around has 20 out of the 25 copies they brought in still available. Sigmar is way less popular round these part than the global average, but still, I can't see Skaventide selling out anytime soon even in the US or UK.

Always when I read "easy to build" and "no glue needed" on models, I don't buy them. They are always afterwards look worse than regular ones - gaps that only glue could seal, for example. And they are monopose. But I also know a person that loves the easy to build stuff. So maybe good for beginners, yes
