HOW can he possibly have more to say?

Jay now has 4 vindacar assassins, the old metal one, his warhammer tv big statue one, his 3d printed one, and now this new one

Jay I bless you with this dad joke: Fun fact, Koi fish travel in packs of four, if they are attacked Koi A,B, and C will scatter leaving behind only D Koi

The detail you're missing is that the ultimate starter is 2 combat patrols, 2 of the boards ( Combat patrol size ) and terrain enough for ComPat, 2 player Combat Patrol game in a box. Literally the ultimate way to start playing 10th as a new player which is what it's for!

That end sting that you played Necromunda and liked it, as a Necromunda fan I want to hear more about that. I love it because the campaign setting of Necromunda feels like playing an RPG with your friends in the underhive with your gang leveling up, getting better kit, taking lasting injuries, and perma death...and because it's got that RPG slant to it and there are so many unique rules to things like falling off ledges or being set on fire weird things happen and you're excited to have them happen even if it's bad for you.

Great video

They've got to do Space Hulk. Have it interchangable as a kill team box set. All the ignredients will be out there this year. Gotta do it

Jay, I really like your assessment that the Tyranids “win on points” because looking at the army and watching it play, even a dominant victory by Victory Points through securing objectives, at the end of the game there were hundreds of points of Tyranids less than space marines if you just look at the board it looked like Space Marines won handily but they actually got crushed because they couldn’t secure any objectives until the final battle round and the points were so far gone at that point there is no way to come back. It kinda fits the lore too, sure that first wave got mostly killed, but they completed the objectives necessary to guarantee the hive fleet will win that war. The defenses have been weakened and the Tyranids have won. Which leads me to my final point: a lot of people are booing Battleshock and thus the Tyranids army rule along with it but if the whole goal of the Tyranids is to win a Phyrric victory through objective points, then one or two key units failing a battleshock and loosing CP can change the hands of critical objectives at key moments and let the Tyranids pull out clutch victories. I think their a good army both thematically and in the game.

The Imperial Assassins are really cool looking sculpts. Even cooler, when painted as well as you did with that one. Glad you've been getting in some games, to raise your enthusiasm for the new Tryanid range. Gotta finish my Space Marine army, so I play,as well. Keep up the great work you do with your models and the terrain via your Patreon, Jay.

The terrain in teh ultimate starter set was in one of the Kill Team Box sets IIRC

Jay - I never comment but I just wanted to say that I look forward to Models and Memories every week, and knowing you have the next episode live gets me through my Fridays at work ❤ please don’t ever stop being you! Love EOB content!

you have great energy love the show!!!

There actually isn't any Captain in the Spacemarine boardgame. They got you. He's a lieutenant.

its best to use shadow in the warp after your opponent has tested for battle shock, because this forces some units to test twice.

Your first Vindicare assassin painting video was actually what inspired me to start painting 40k again, really fun video and my first model back was the new Vindicare

Always love it when I catch a new video by chance! Keep up the great work! You guys are the 🐐

The vindacar assassin is one of my favourite things in 40k. I Know I’m only allowed one in game but I want to paint many.

I have been working 12 hour days and I drive 45 minutes to work so when I wake up I get about 30 to 40 minutes to do whatever I want and I gladly spend it watching these videos

Great thanks! Wondering if there's any updates about the new epic scale sets?

The Escher are right fiddly little feckers to paint, I love 'em now that they are done, but they were a bit of a pain in the posterior. I got the original Eschers for my birthday as a kid, but I guess I gave them away to a younger cousin at some point (which is where all of my old minis went). I'll probably buy a set of the old ones again one day.

if you're running a heavy termagant army I recommend running a Tervigon too as they bolster up your gaunts with some great rules

man your videos are great and the energy you have is just amazing, I enjoy watching your videos over any other WH channel, keep up the good work.

These store exclusives seem to be a popular thing right now. Catalyst Games Lab released several exclusive figure sets for Battletech including a couple through Barnes & Noble and an alternate starter box through Target.

I had managed to get the starter box for 40k 10th using in-store credit at my local game store and $15 and it's badass.

I'd like to see what you could do with the Introductory Set using just the paints and brush included in the set. Also, grats on finally trying out Necromunda. I was pretty sure you would like it.

I must say it’s a breath of fresh air to hear that jay is actually playing 40K

I actually think the command edition terrain is way better. Although I like having fewer large units in a starter kit since you can play boarding patrol or normal 40K

Can confirm the board game was in the store, next to the Battletech game at least in oregon

But where legion starter price? It’ll be the deciding factor on whether I buy 3 or 4 boxes

I would suggest getting the umbral six vindicare assassin. He’s a blast to paint and is a great model. He can also be used on board because he is the same size.

The flgs near me has about 12 zoats sitting on the shelf NIB.

Yes! Necromunda! tell us more! show us more! paint us mooooore Necromunda!!!! Great vid by the way. You guys do the do very well.

It's annoying that only the ultimate starter set comes with that mini rulebook. That thing should be included in as many products as possible - I don't need anything else in that box, but it's tempting to buy it only for that book, and selling the rest...

I can't wait for the 200th episode bonus compilation of every version of HOW?!?!

my local game stor has the boxes on shelve

There's a local shop that's got the retro Zoats! Source comics and games, baby!

Battletech Essentials sold out on pre-order and then they were available on the shelves. It should be fine:)

What a deal on Jay's first brush!

Tyrannofexes are a great shout they can wipe most of those orc squads if you plop them in the middle with the acid sprayer and then you add in a hive tyrant that thing and the psychofage would be terrifying

I bought all three of the Boardgames from Thalia, the German online store. With discount code and free shipping I paid 24,99€ for each game. 75€ for the gaunts (and ripper swarm), Titus, All of the BSF stuff including the ambull and two underworld warbands sounds pretty good to me. 🎉

Always a fun video to listen to 👍 Can we see the live audience??

I really like Tyranids! Had a couple fun games with them recently. Screamer-Killer always seems to die right away and doesn't do much sadly =/

Feel like the Combat Arena will be around 40-60 bucks no way it’ll be more. Judging by the other Combat Arenas that have released.

I'm from the future to let you know they have been sold at stores and I got mine at my local store. Was the last one!

james i just wanted to let you know i love your channel every time i need inspiration i come to your channel and it’s fantastic keep up the good work!!

who ends up with the terrain? the one who has the most storage space

I got the middle tier, and it'll be my first ever minis! Can't wait to make an abomination of a paint job. I've never painted minis before!

The Infernus Marine sprue in my Leviathan Box already had sign of leaking and had some really annoying connection points. They don't seem like a good introductory representation of model quality.

Back in the early 90s, most of the minis were metal, and plastic kits were pretty shoddy and kind of rare. I didn't know about nippers, so I would push all of the pieces off the sprue with my hands. Modern people don't know how difficult it was to learn about the hobby back then.

Great video love your content

Use a paint pen for fine lines.

I'm completely new so the ultimate starter set is great for me because i get 2 combat patrols to play with and i can rope my friends in

The bigger box needs 2 boards as it is giving you the two combat patrols so it needs the mats for that size.

Barnes and Noble sells a different version of combat arena right now! Thought it only has four minis for $35 USD. Since this new one has more minis probably looking mor elike $60.

One thing that’s important to consider about a starter set for games workshop is that it is very rarely designed with a current games workshop fan in mind. They are almost exclusively geared towards new hobbyists or people who have never Warhammer-ed. That being said if two Homies went in on the small starter and the large starter then they would both have a sizable force and even paint / hobby tools so it kind of seems super good (for n3wbz).

One of these days, we'll get to see the live studio audience

Looks like there is some 2d terrain on the space marine board.

that space marine board game will be good to get 100 fleshborer gaunts

We need a "its fiiiiine" sticker or shirt

Trygon wasn't super good in previous edition, but I still love the moment where I deep strike an enormous monster and my opponent's face starts to show concern

Wait Jay, I know it's very expensive in a 1000pts game, but have you considered a callidus? So you can make "Reinforcements" cost 3cp and cripple him for the rest of the gamr

210 US dollars for the ultimate? I live in sweden and at my local game store i payed 1400 sek for the ultimate, thats like 134,77 USD. (1 USD = 10,38 sek). So even though i don't really need much from the ultimate box, becouse over here thats a no brainer take my money. 210 dollars though yes i totaly agree with you! note official GW store price the ultimate at 1500 sek, the starter 780 sek, and the intro at 480 sek. (144, USD, 75 USD and 46 USD in current exchange rate). I like the terrain though. I have a lot of MDF terrain and some older ruins from GW, and the terrain in the ultimate box will add to that, will blend well with the rest of my terrain and add something "new".

The new Combat Arena is 30€ in Germany.

Went to the Post Office this weekend and came across the collectors Warhammer stamps, took everything I have not to buy them, I must go back without my wife.

Why is the ultimate starter more expensive than the leviathan box?

One assassin watches the other in case one of them turns!!!!!!! One day you will beat Shaun again!! Thanks gents!! Fantastic as always!!!

60 dollars for 10 guants is quite crazy.

Jay yoy gotta try Combat Arena! It's one of their best designed boxed games, from someone who owns all of them. :)

Ah yeah saw the prices last week on a UK sellers website

You got to pull a Tonya Harding on Sean as he comes over to play. #kidding

welcome to necromunda!

But I did watch it Jay... and now I do know

Maybe i buy one

Captain Titus spent time in the black Templar so you could just do that

By that Tyrannofex being 5% of your 1000 pt army, you mean 20%....right? I think you divided that 10% (200 pts of 2000 pt total) by 2 instead of multiplying by 2 😅

Nice.

Lovely

Eh, I'll still tell newbies that the Ultimate Starter is the better deal, mostly because it gets you Combat Patrol forces right out of the box. And you can easily split the terrain as it comes with two [Kill Team] boards and two terrain pieces.

Those GW board games being sold at other stores is cool. But they need to be cheap. They have to be loss leaders. If I’m at BN and see one for 20 bucks. That’s impulse buy. At 60+, they are an ask for my birthday or Christmas type present.

18:56 he's 1/5 of your army, 20%, not 5%

Space marine is a good idea to sell a single figure that would cost $40 and bugs Remember we are in a time where we will get TV shows. So all kinds of silly stuff (to us that is ) is going to out there in toy stores and not wargamey places. It’s a win win. Buy it for you nephews birthday and teach him or a year later… “Hey kid I’ll give you $5 bucks for it and you win again

one thing about the biggest starter set is you do get both of the combat patrols whereas the middle version youd need to buy extra models to play them in that way.

The small starter is meh to me but if it's 65 bucks the clippers alone are 50. So you're paying for the clippers and brushes, everything else is free

I'm a big fan of one of your assassin's being in hiding And yeah Necromunda is great!

The Space Marine Board Game is so funny... I remember that back in 5th edition they published rules for a game that this seems oddly similar to in a White Dwarf :D You had one Space Marine with all the gear and lore accurate stats taking on waves of enemies... not sure if it was Orks or Nids though... But yeah, same thing, recycled and put into a box to draw gamers who like the Space Marine game but have no other affiliation to 40K into the tabletop :D

Still sitting here waiting on the battle reports I was promised....

The Vindicare Assassin is only 80 points.

So you’re saying them birthday cakes did NOT steal the show?

imagine your first thought when you are getting into the hobby being to use nail clippers to clip models off of sprues i twisted them off, like a true mentally challenged gamer

Now somthing i want to see on this chanel "how to paint a good booty"

👍

Leviathans just much better value than the ultimate while its still available.

Too. Expensive.

Confirmed? They have been on sale a week now. This vid a little late?!

*Don't say it. Don't say it. Don't say it. Don't say it.* It's pronounced *Nippa*

I really dont like terrain in these big starter sets,more units instead would have been better.

These boxes are fine for collectors, but if you’re a normie who buys one from target just to play the game you’ll likely be reslly disappointed. These products are almost always just nice models with a boring game that’s obviously an after thought

*Chandler Bing voice* Could he HAVE anything more to say?

Compare him to the retro guy
