On the AoS side, the former Underworlds warbands are US$25, and they're almost all fantastic. 3 to 6 minis each, giving you a real flavour of their factions, and playable in AoS.

@ant6227 2 жыл бұрын

If only you could still get any of them at $25 still, but that was the price they started at 3 years ago. Warbands are $40 msrp now and have gone up each season so even last years models are $35.

@acat5338 2 жыл бұрын

@@ant6227 pretty sure they mean ordering the models separate from the cards off the website, Season 1-2 warbands are still $25. Although I don't know how good they'd be for an AoS player since they're too low points to actually do much with, around 200 or less. If they're a Warcry player, then yes absolutely Underworlds Warbands are an excellent gift. Although, if you wanna give a Warcry player a gift and don't mind spending $50, you could buy them Bladeborn from Barnes and Nobles available starting on Christmas Eve. Even if they don't touch the game itself, it still is 2 warbands (10 models), some dice, and additional rules for those 2 (plus 4 more not included in box) warbands to be played in Warcry. Khagra's ravagers and The Godsworn Hunt are both also really good sculpts.

My recommendations: Frostgrave Wizards 1 and 2. Can be gotten under 20 euros, and they are a kitbasher's dream with all the hands and heads they have. 2 has very good female bodies and heads, and is always a recommendation. Stargrave Mercenaries: Frostgrave bits choice, in space. GW Zarbag's Gitz or Thorns of the Briar Queen (only from their website) 20 euros for 9/7 models with good character. Also the Myrnmourn banshees, 4 good ghosts for 12 euros. Wargames Atlantic is nice, but you really want to know whether one of their boxes fits the army before choosing. Very nice Squats, spiders and heavy weapons teams.

Great list, thanks. Hoping I get my cookie cutters in time to make cookies for Christmas. :) Hey, one thing about the airbrush: what I've heard from people I respect is that you should drip-drip your water (or thinner) first, then drip-drip the paint. That wouldn't do anything about heavy chunks, but it supposedly reduces clogs. My own much more limited experience agrees, for what that's worth.

Thanks for the video. I'm interested in seeing how they make the Eldar relevant again after they put all the concepts into Primaris. The old SM tactical squad was a block of reasonable infantry that could take 1 or 2 special weapons, and Eldar's difference was they had weaker base troops and full squads of special weapon troops (fire dragons, scorpions, banshees.) Eldar squads were valuable and specialized, if you used your elite squads improperly, they would die horribly, but if you used them correctly they would win you games. However this is what Primaris does now with all-plasma squads, all-melta squads, etc, even the grav tanks. So what do the Eldar do now that Primaris don't?

@Mcinnester 2 жыл бұрын

Eldar have gotten new models every edition. They got new banshee models in 2019 right before covid and no one bought them, so its not surprising that everyone forgets. Even with these new advent leaks its pretty clear that its not all the aspects getting updated, so I predict there will still be complaints because it wasn't their favorite aspect.

@oliverp3545 2 жыл бұрын

Nah as someone in a few Craftworlds groups we are just happy to have new stuff, and the issue with the Banshees was the massivespike in price, for 5 of them it's £32.50, whereas before it was 6 for £25, which of course is annoying and inexcusable.

@Mcinnester 2 жыл бұрын

@@oliverp3545 So I assume the Craftworlds players will continue to not buy models then? All the new aspects are going to be priced similarly. Every new sculpt for every army comes with a price hike, and always has, for well over 20 years.

I believe you can use those dreadblade harrows as battle line as well. I have a buddy who is wanting to get into the hobby and loves the Night Haunts, I might have to grab him a box. I heard around Halloween of next year they are getting a new rulebook as well so as we all know that means they will probably be getting a major boost in power so now is a good time to start grabbing up those cheap models on eBay. I have a few of the models I bought just because I wanted to paint them like the black coach ( which I still argue should be in the soul blight book as well) and Lady Oylander and they are great for starting painters

AMA question(s). 1. Would you try to do a "real" painting (maybe 40k themed) with all the knowledge about colors you earned from mini painting . And maybe even show it to us? I would love that , as you said it yourself painting minis isn't real art :D I really would be interested in seeing the result of an so advanced mini painter as you are. 2. This question is more about the rules as you are a far more experienced 40k player as I am . You ever realized and what are you thoughts about: In the mission "open hostility - death or glory" is it really almost impossible to win as an attacker as you play against an eldar army . The first reason : as far as I see you aren't forced to bring your models in reserve at round 3 (as it is in other missions) to the battlefield. Second : even if you would be forced to bring them on round 3 as the swooping hawks can simply go up to the skies and stay there again there would be only one turn to kill them all (plus maybe an autarch with swooping hawks wing or/and an baharroth) and as you are the defender you even get to choose who to get first turn . Am I wrong or this should be fixed ? Keep doing you great stuff I love watching your show while painting thanks 👍👍 much love

I dunno about that "Other companies for cheaper than GW" shtick. 3 models for $21 comes out to about $7 per model. You could also get a box of 10 primaris intercessors for $60, hitting the range of $6 per model... or a box of the firstborn tactical squad for, I believe it was $45, which brings the price to $4.50 per model. there's also Necron Warriors for $45, which also nets you $4.50 per model. Heck, the cheapest I've seen for troops price wise (excluding your excellent recommendation for cultists earlier since they're cheaper) are the Tyranid Termagant brood, which is 13 models (12 termagants and 1 ripper swarm) for $35, giving you an individual model price of about $2.69 per model. It really all depends on what you're looking for to give as gifts and how many models are needed for different games though.
