How could he possibly have more to say?!

When Jay says “It’s fine…it’s fine…”, you know it is in fact, not fine

PSA on the digital indexes - GW forgot to lock the PDF files so they're 100% editable - you could totally just edit them once the codices drop and have up-to-date digital rules.

The Painting Phase did an interview with a former head of the "supplies" department, and he explained that we're not the market for their department. The market is very new people, and moms, and grandmas getting upsold a get started box and the whole pile of tools that Little Timmy "needs" to assemble and paint. He goes into great detail about products that were intentionally bad, why they'll never do a wet palette ("Why would we want you to keep paint fresh longer?") etc. The video title is "Contrast Paint saves GW from BANKRUPTCY?!" and it's an amazing and revealing look at the inner workings of the paints and tools group.

For getting white in the recesses, put water in first then touch white ink to it and let the capillary effect do its magic

For episode 150 can you please do a compilation of all of the "HOW" moments from your videos. They always crack me up.

I feel like the metal toolbox and magnet solution will always reign supreme. Costs like $50 for a big toolbox and enough magnets for more than 2000 points of models, and they have handles and secure closures. As for the airport, I travel overseas for work regularly, and I always stash a cookie tin full of WIP minis and a Killteam or two. Never had a problem with security and I’ve never had a casualty in transit.

I fear the models and memories where Jay doesn’t have more to say! Sure the heat death of the universe will probably come first but just knowing that it’ll happen is scary enough. The new case looks good for transporting a killteam but I think I’ll stick with magnets and foam for now.

About the tools, a former product designer talked about tools/hobby products and their costs over on the painting phase. It's super interesting, but the TLDR is that a product must earn at least X amount, and cheap clippers would not earn enough of a margin for it to be worth it since they don't do any tool metalworking themselves, and since people could buy the same type for cheaper, like they do now so they go for their own version that offers something more for more money. Still, regular clippers works but it has a reason to sell their own thing.

No, I think maybe GW finally heard all the grumbling from people not wanting to buy the big Warcry box just to get the terrain and decided to break everything up. Remember, they did recently announce the double box with hunters and ogres that has the book with their rules that will be sold by itself. Also, there is a Fyreslayers warband on the way. I'm sure it's just a way to obfuscate a small price rise as the terrain and double warband box will probably cost more than the old big box, but it does mean people not always having to buy stuff they don't want and if they don't come out the same week then people can spread the purchases out. Remember, it was the Kill Team boxes always selling out in minutes while the Warcry boxes usually lasted a good long while. Maybe they noticed that they had strong sales numbers after they broke the Warcry boxes up and decided to start with that.

To be fair to movie theaters, the snacks are so expensive because they don't make enough from ticket sales. So I usually don't mind getting a snack or two so they can stay in business. GW on the other hand, can sell everything for 15% less and still make tons.

They never said 1 for free on the gw, but also if you filled your app with like 10 lists, you can still open and edit em.

The thing is i wanna try making a custom figure case. I saw a small leather suitcase in a thrift shop maybe gonna buy it and figure out a way to store my death guard in it

As allways, your videos just makes me happy. Cheers brother.

Fyi: those carry boxes would not work well with a hinged lid. The travel of the top nubs would come at an angle when the lid closes and would not hold the minis very well, and could potentially damage those thin parts you were talking about.

@16:33 the best way I've found to get white into recesses like the gauss flayers is to use white acrylic ink. The pigment is stronger in inks and it's less viscous than standard acrylic so it is more opaque and flows better into the details. Doom Stalker is a cool model and I love your Necron color scheme btw.

The Warcry terrain was supposed to be in the doubles boxes but I believe they had production issues. People were complaining that the new land for this season was supposed to have lots of crashed old ones ship bits everywhere.

I remember these from the Sticky Buddy, they're called rubber fingers 😄

Having taken a magnet case through the TSA a few times recently, it's not bad at all, you just need to take it out and put it in a bin, and it's pretty obviously just a flat thingy and all you have to do is own up to having awesome looking hand painted minis.

Design is very similar to the "Plano The Edge: hard bait" Boxes. Which i have to say, doesnt rough up very nice, expensive, pieces of fishing plastic. Keeps hooks from getting tangled. Super dope. This is a solid idea, stoked to see the reviews.

As someone who got back into WH40K with 10th, the app was basically perfect (minor UI issues which you mentioned, easy to fix and update) and actively drove me to buy more models because it's a giant shopping cart for your armies. Couple that with the fact that, as a Canadian, I can't sub to WH+ if I wanted to because of content rules in our backwards nation, and I'm forced to use BattleScribe or 1PR. At least for my Chaos I can still see their datasheets and rules, I JUST started a Tyranids army before the codex dropped, so now I can't see their datasheets!

The product that got bumped was Legions Imperialis (Epic). The terrain kit was probly ready to go for after some big combined box release, but was something easily grabbed to fill a gap in the few months before Imperialis is back, without interfering in whatever combined box it was from.

I think the warcry terrain dropped late when it was supposed to come in a box with the fyreslayers and kruleboyz especially cause both of those warbands clearly have a monster egg hunting motif

Little rant here about double dipping your wallet, THE ENTIRE GUARD INFANTRY SELECTION (especially forgeworld) So the main ick for me is that a box of space marine assault intercessors, y'know, a pretty run of the mill, all round kit will set you back on GW price about 60 dollars not counting tax, now for this you get 10 models that have really good leadership, meh guns, 2 wounds, 3+ save, 3+ hitting for both melee and range, and strength/toughness 4 along with pretty good melee. Now, for 10 dollars less, you get 10 (smaller) models, half the points, 2 heavy weapons + sergeant, abysmal save, 1 wound each, 4+ hit on melee/shooting aside from sergeant with I believe a 3+ melee, and a relatively bad leadership. Now if that wasn't bad enough, you can get a specialist unit (Scions) for 45 bucks, now for this you get a pretty good unit, HOWEVER, they made sure to give you only 5 MODELS IN THE BOX, with the excuse being that "oh well you also get the command sprue", well MAYBE just sell the command sprue SEPERATELY. Now before I stop complaining, I want to finish with something, I think that nearly all of the guard infantry boxes, save probably the Kasrkin and maybe a few others, now what I think GW should do is double the amount of models in the box to even out the point value and increase the price to around 60 bucks (and also sell scion command sprue separately) . Now I know they can do this easily and still make a profit because they LITERALLY DO THIS WITH AGE OF SIGMAR. Okay, rant done, thank you to anyone who stayed to listen.

Random fact: Any list you made in the warhammer 40k app early stage thing (?) Stays after the update but you can't add more, so i have like 50 different army pages that im rationing Also, a similar thing happened with the age of sigmar app but without the restriction so i just casually list build for aos constantly

The other issue is also that their app doesnt isolate your wargear options, you have to hunt for the profiles every time and god forbid youve got a unit with a lot of variety

I have zero intent on buying a codex this edition. Since I only need a handful of pages at a time, I fully intend to hoist the skull & crossbones flag and pick up my marine detachment rules from another source. I’ve tried to be supportive of GW and just say “eh it’s a luxury product” and it’s just gotten to be nutty. That and the datasheets are easier than ever to get ahold of without it (especially because we have free detachments to use until we can “source” the codex ones)

15:00 the way the necron is painted it looks right out of star wars.

I had a love hate relationship with my necrons because I couldn't find a paint scheme,I ended up going with the box,,/book art and actually quite like them now 😊

I don't get why they don't include the digital codex rules in Warhammer+ and sell the book with the code separately for people that don't want a subscription

Hello! Its been a while since you did an Ork video. You had mentioned making a kill rig for your mad max theme. I have been working on kitbashing the Ridgehauler Cargo 8 vehicle from necromunda, i used the trailer chopped in half to make two trukks pulled by Mangler squigs from Sigmar. I think the ridgehauler would match your theme big time. That’s all, cheers!

today's HOW was straight out of the warp. loved it.

Put your models into the Iron Maiden case Admech/Eldar/Sylvaneth/necron players . They’ll be fine.

2:11 I got the box when it came out with dark vengeance's first release and I still rocking it!

Separate lid means they can sell additional layers (maybe with different depths) for 99999999 money. Call them the "battalion commander expansion" and the "big adapter" or something.

I still use my two old cases with games workshop on the fron when I bought them back in 2000

I remember back when you redid your necron scheme while nick finished painting his blue orks. You really did fine a killer color combo man best looking rons iv seen

All Codexes should be digital and all unit rules should be free. A Codex should not cost more than 20 bucks. Nobody can tell me that a digital vendor could not e-mail you a code for the app on checkout.

Legions Imperialis Was majorly delayed along with the reboxing of Adeptus Titanacus that probably why you are seeing the terrain

I had two of those black cases when I first started playing warhammer at my after school club, they were pretty beat up as my brother passed them down to me. They were full of variously destroyed/intact badly painted tyranids

The kruleboyz warband has been announced for month now and is still not released. You can see them on the artwork for the new terrain. If they made a box with them, the fire slayer and the new terrain it would be an instant buy from me.

I think the terrain was meant for the prior Warcry box, but the recycled meat trees and the pyramid instead.

Jay always has more to say, and it astounds me!

The old app let you at least see the unit’s datasheet. It ain’t right…

There is a warcry box coming out with no terrain... I'm assuming they split the terrain and minis into separate boxes ... at higher prices.

Wow, i didn't expect him to have more to say

You've done a good job with that doom stalker. Are we thinking of doing a temporary switch to necrons?

For the white inset in the guns, I use the old water/shade trick, but use white ink instead of shade. For anyone unfamiliar, I paint it with water, let the surface dry, then touch the water with the ink, and it flows nicely

For warcry they should stay the same. Warrants with the terrain, your getting 2 and terrain for usually cheaper than separate.

1:30 amazon had one of those and when I started with gundam model kits that's what I got. still have the box and sanding files also battlescribe on your new found taste for what could be had: ONE OF US ONE OF US

I would be nice if you had the option of which team/war and you wanted. Within reason of course. More affordable GW hobby supplies would be not too!! I don’t think that all the cost is from shipping. Thanks gents!! Fantastic as always!!!

I feel like if they made a reasonably-priced modular case system with adjustable foam or insert options, people would buy many of them. I could see paying $20 for one, $60 for 5, and $100 for 10, with optional inserts at $5. If they sell each box for more than $20 and/or don't offer a discount, I will buy NONE. If they sell them like I described, I will buy the ten pack immediately and probably continue to buy them every time I get another set of models. The way they price their cases it's like they further penalize people who are dedicated and have a lot invested already instead of throwing them a bone.

Let’s see more necron painting videos!

I got soooooooo lucky with regards to the 40k app. I already had several army lists saved before the pay wall was up. I can't make new lists, but I can edit the lists that I already had, So for the time being I have several Guard lists, Admech, Knights, Agents, and Deathwatch. I wish I had saved a list for each army while still free.

That's rhe problem with a lot of modern business models. They choose to chase vast profit margins instead of shrinking them and selling more, thus making more profit. Its simple business to me

90% sure Warcry big boxes reached saturation so they decided to split it all up to increase overall sales of stuff.

wahapedia will make a comeback

When it comes to movie theater food, they barely make pennies per ticket due to movie companies charging so much per license, so their entire revenue is basically just snacks

"I like silicon shafts as much as the next person."

I doubt, that the rubber fingers align with rhe holes on the other side.

I hope to see some weird as hell necron models like the hexmark in the future

Great video as always.

M concern about the case revolves around chaos/death guard terminators, many or their weapons stick out pretty far and it doesn’t look like the kid has enough room

Just gonna say. Malifaux has fully free rules. A fully free list builder. And the best miniatures community ever.

I don't hate the case, itself an interesting desighn, and that kind of material is pretty soft and flexible, so it should keep impacts from doing anything, but the problem with it is cost, if I was GW and i made a case i would have made a magnetic case, and I'd sell magnets custom sized so they are the same height as the bases

Hey jay did you know that gw has made the barricade you create for your genesteaker is a valuable to order

So on the topic of buying the physical codex to unlock the app version. There are lots of TTRPGs that give you a code to redeem a PDF of the book you got. So it’s not unheard of in the TTG space. Just hope GW gives us a way to buy it online.

GW needs to release extra/replacement paint post caps to replace the crudites. I don't have the finger strength to pop them as in your past video.

Don't worry, mine too! P.s. I stay with my plastic container with magnetic foil!👍

Its right what you say. its so crazy you have to pay for paper codex, to get the code , that is the only thing I need, for the app.. doesnt make any sense. And still no thing in the app for the crusade... its so fun but would be so much easier to have it digitla then pen and paper.

On cases, I think magnetic ones (like the "really usefull boxes" are good, with foam/airbag inserts for heavy traveling

I subbed to the Warhammer app this week, then I added a list for every army I'm interested in and canceled the subscription. Still have all my lists, just have to get past them asking if I want to sub every time I open it.

Always enjoy these videos at the end of the week. This channel is almost single handedly drawing me back into the hobby 😅

Games Workshop box: 120 dollars. Shoebox: Literally free, you own at least one.

This feels like a controversial take, but I actually kinda prefer to pen and paper (but actually book and type up) my army list. I feel like when i use the army list apps, I don’t become as familiar with everything as I do when I am manually inputting all the info into an excel sheet. Granted I am sticking with 9th edition so I don’t have to buy another book etc but still.

I actually love my old case, i use it to transport my old vostroyans, having 50 in there makes it weigh like 30kg lmao. I also do remember though that case being the bane of my empire halbrediers and spearmen as it broke many weapons.

Sooo... how many times did you say "nubber rubs" while filming?

3D printer goes Brrrrrrrrrr.

I haven't purchased a Necron since 5th edition so I feel your Necron pain..

As a necrons player and a huge EoB fan. Pleaseeeeeeee more necrons content!!!!!!

Bro, you gotta make a Kickstarter for the Koosh-Kase idea

If you saved loads of lists on the app, they are all still there and can be edited. But it has to stay on the same faction.

...aaaand just access to the rules from the book, too. For $50, GW's code (which I like) should unlock the pdf of the book.

It’s crazy he’s memorized a 30 second into

"you can only save one army list" 🧐 Not me with my 3 saved army list, no subscription and everything still working despite all the updates (Also I don't get why they didn't merged the WH40K app and the citadel paint app)

Legions Imperialis any idea when?

"A fast 5$ is better than a slow 10$"

How go your rebels?

I think the rules being free is the best way to get me to buy models outside of just my army. I'm broke right now but if I had the money I'd have bought so many combat patrols. I think if gw gave us more reasons to buy models outside of the faction you play then we'd buy more.

Gw products are so expensive that just buying three off brand things is still cheaper

The worst thing about the case is the games workshop logo being on it. The aquila is very nice though

Will you talk about Legion Imperialis someday?

white artist's ink is the way for pinlining in white

Been There; Done That

Sad Jay had nothing to say on the made to order terrain bonanza this week

“I feel like whoever developed the app was paid by the drop down people” 😂

how is there not a compilation of all the "how's" yet?

I think that seems to be the theme this month, brother just mentioned this Sell 100 units at $20 each or 20 units at $100 each - who do you want buying your stuff? Maybe they genuinely favor the upper class? Not sure.

Ummm it's called ravaged lands ... souldrain forest? Sigmarite mausoleum ... what are you talking about?

Wait the case can’t hold my Baneblade?!
