That intro was prophetic. How could he have known? 😂

No need to start with a personal attack

My dozens of unpainted guardsmen watching me order another tank: "Father. Look upon us. Look upon your failure."

Auspex: *Explains he’s tailoring the video to armies of 500-1000 points.* Me, with almost 20,000 points of Nids: “I definitely need more.”

Auspex just calling us out with that intro huh...

I did not expect to get called out like that at the start of the video.

Your opening thoughts immediately made me think of Gary Oldman from The Professional. "EVERYONE!"

I saw notification, clicked on, and got called out

For all the Tyranid players out there: If you are struggling to deal with enemy armour, the Tyrannofex is completely insane in this edition. The Rupture Cannon is very reliable, even against units with Invuln saves (every failure is CRIPPLING, with that average of 7 damage rapidly cleaning up big foes). I’ve played them in many games, and it has not been uncommon to pop Leman Russ Battle Tanks in one round of fire, along with dreadnoughts and other vehicles below the Knight/Titan class. Even super-heavies can be swept away by a pair of these guys. Just a week ago, they cleaned up Angron and a Chaos Knight in one game (with some help from the Swarmlord and Zoanthropes, who should not be slept on), and blasted apart Mutalith Vortex Beasts and Magnus the Red. A solid 3-0 showing from the bugs in a local tourney, with the T-Fexes doing the heavy lifting against the enemy heavies. The Exocrine also appeared in that list, and I’ve had success with Maleceptors as well, but the T-Fex is king, I promise you! Best anti-tank in the book, with close to the best durability in the standard codex at a very efficient price.

Feels like personal attack that intro

5 seconds in and I feel so attacked. Auspex just declaring open war right off the bat.

Really hit with the off the cuff callout

the 40,000IQ play is to buy armies for Kill Team and play that, then expand them into full armies as you like think about it: - each kill team box nets you a full kill team (except inquisitorial agents, we don't talk about them) - each KT is only like 6-10 guys, enough to know if you like painting them or not, but not so much you will never push through if you aren't having a good time - kill team rules mimic 40k rules, especially in flavor, so if you love a kill team there's a chance you will love playing them as an army - it's pretty cheap, if you use 3rd party and can get that 20% discount (shoutout Wayland games, you guys are the real mvp's) it's normally £30 a box - once you have a kill team you can use it as a regular squad in full fat 40k - quarterly boxes come with neat terrain and two teams for a reasonable price, and the starter set still even beats that on value by including a core rules book and the measuring things - the KT specific wargear you can equip to make agents like the hearthkin Kognitaar or Lugger break up the silhouette of otherwise monotonous troops and provide a lot of bits for kitbashing later - they offer a wide variety and cooler models than are available in the main line armies, for example, the veteran guard team is all DKoK infantry, made out of plastic, the void-scarred corsair team I just bought because unlike the other elves, they look cool, will be my only eldar models, but if I want I could run them in a dark eldar army or a regular eldar army - I get to actually play kill team... please play kill team

I feel attacked. How dare you start by accusing me of something so bold and so, so accurate? (Best intro ever.)

extra idea for Admech. I recommend buy sicarian box and build Ruststalker then mix them with some of your existing skitarii. and now you have model ready to play Kill Team.

Hey man I didn't expect to get called out as soon as the video starts. We don't talk about the pile of shame.

kitbashing a few marines, got a huge back log of unpainted minis ~80, but all assembled, primed and somewhat based at least... Nice vid!

(Looks at 10 einhyr hearthguard and a hekaton still on the sprue...) Guilty as charged.

That intro went hard

I wanna make a note about the hekaton fortress: you don't need to magentise it at all. The big gun on top has 'swap-outable' barrels, so all options are available and when painted, they're enough tension so that they don't randomly fall off. Both of the guns on the top have a little nub to slot them into, so no magnets needed. The guns in the front ball-things are literally slotted in, so again no magnets needed.

Great Video! Thanks for all the hard work.

man that intro really hit us in the grey area huh

Great video, would love to see each chapter break down in a fufute video like this!

Thanks for the call out auspex

As a World Eaters player, I have nothing to get next, because the range is so small I already own not just EVERY model, but half of the legends models too.

I have never felt so directly and accurately attacked by an introduction. 😂

Lots of Imperial Agents are pretty great in Grey Knights. Inquisitor Coteaz is a favorite of mine right now, plus the Callidus Assassin.

That's the best part about tyranids. As long as you get more tyranids of any kind, you're winning

That opening… ‘he doesn’t need new models… he’s a very naughty boy!’

Thanks for the attack ib the intro...🥺

got full armies of Gray models :D ofc i'm getting more :D

Looking for something to get after going 1-2 comp win loss with index orks considering the codex drop :D perfect timing

Great vid. That what I like about my Tyranids. They have so many cool models, I just get what I think looks cool and literally try to get them all! Lol

'Over-solve' is going into the lexicon. Brilliant!

While it takes a while completing a codex i think is a good idea. Keeps you focused and means you won't be spending on making tiny little forces, like I have unfortunately done. Now I'm focused on orks and csm

0:00 you didn't have to call me out like that XD

I have over half of my orks officially assembled and primed. I’ve had most of them for 15 years

i feel called out in that intro with my massive grey tyranid army

Roasting everyone in the first five seconds was hysterical! 😂

The intro made me cry, I had to pause the video... went on a journey of self-discovery for a whole episode and clicked play after saying "We ball"

Intro was cheeky...but accurate 😂.

I know for sure that I have a pile, GSC is coming due for its codex and almost certainly going to be getting a new combat patrol, so I picked up a few copies before I can't ever afford to run a GSC list, but until I finish my current projects they are sitting in boxes

Mine are all assembled and primed in various colors.

Bro caught me as I'm in the process of painting through my grey pile of shame :/

Hey! My Kharadron Overlords are in no rush to be painted! But yeah, Dark Angels have all my time right now....

That intro is savage. To be fair, my "backlock" is an order I picked up just yesterday, so I don't feel too guilty. Everything else just got a coat of primer an hour ago, ready for more airbrushing.

Anyone interested in World Eaters: Buy the combat patrol box, build Lord Invocatus from it, and you really only need to build 10 Berzerkers. Buy Angron, buy Master of Executions, buy 12-18 Eightbound/Exalted models (3 per box), buy a Rhino, buy Kharn.

I can't believe you called me out like that right at the start

All factions need to buy an ork stompa. Even if you don’t play orks. Get a stompa. Just to build and paint. For fun. If you want to suffer, don’t look for a numbered version of the instructions. Force yourself to build the behemoth with no numbers on the diagrams, like Gork and Mork intended.

Shoutout to the couple of people who do not feel called out by the video intro. My 40k backlog is finished, but I can't say the same for AoS backlog.

lol, I actually just finished painting my leviathan tyranids today and was wondering what I should add to them 😂

I'll have you know, my backlog of GSC is only greyish because they're all zenithal highlighted. Mind ya biness Auspex

that intro 100% felt like i was being called out haha

That was uncalled for!

Wayland Games in the UK offers typically a 20% discount on GW prices and has a cheaper minimum for free delivery (Element Games is £80 for free delivery, Wayland is more like £20-25)

You didn't need to call us out at the beginning like that lol

That intro made me laugh at how true that is on my end.

so close on the intro! only have a backlog because i got 2000 points of new grey crack on Wednesday. here for nids, necrons, tau, marines and now Custodes ^_^

I would love to see sisters of battle on bikes. Chainswords, melters etc. Be good fast attack.

Okay, the first sentence earned my like :D

Man straight up called us all out in the first 8 seconds and didn't even apologize D;

For not a bad addition to a CSM army , Geting the 20 men Heresy era tactical squad and geting the weapon upgrade kit is not a bad idea. As depending on the weapon upgrade kit you can get some havoc's cheaply from a Heresy squad of marines . Another way if creative enough is geting a MK4 Heresy tactical squad and making what units you want from the bits assuming you have the properly sized base . As i did this for some chaos lords and CSM characters , The World eaters combat patrol box as is currently and Genestealer cult combat patrol . They are not a bad by for the points worth of models you get getting 2 or 3 of the same set . As if you have enough bits laying around you can get your money worth for the corrrect amount of time for kitbashing or conversions. As i did paint the genestealer cult neophate to be used as CSM cultist minus the Genestealer icon for my CSM to save on money for having 2 armies .

Mutalith Vortex is one hard model to find, been sold out for at least a year on games workshop website. Also the Lord of Skulls is crazy expensive and also sold out for at least a year on GW website. Its more than madding to get model buying advice that can't be followed.

It's called pile of potential thank you very much. Also yes it is massive as its supposed to be, how else am I going to kitbash unit of five models out of six different kits?

I got about 1000 pionts not painted and another 1000 that i just stripped cuz i didn't like the paint scheme half way thru 😅

Man the immediate personal attack.

Massive backlog of unpainted grey models? Bold of you to assume they're off the sprue and glued, my good sir.

tha intro felt like a personal attack

I think my next project is gonna be getting some AM-bots from necromunda and converting them into IW possessed

Havent even finished building my Worldeaters, Im already thinking of building GSC/Votann. 🥴

This doubles as a "What to paint next" video for those of us with big backlogs

Long day at work, kids out to bed, sit down to relax after a stressful day…. Attacked in the first 5 seconds

Guilty! My pile of shame is so large pretty sure it's become sentient and will hopefully start painting itself. Ork boarding patrol, old ork combat patrol, stompa boyz.... And a pile of space marines. I have a problem.

MVB is always out of stock, and places like eBay has them priced higher than their MSRP, so honestly you're better off with converting a model into the Vortex Beast. My suggestion would be using kits like a Necrosphinx or even a Maulerfiend to do a bit of doctoring to make it look like a Cthulhu Daemon of destruction.

Worth remembering for new marine players: most kits come with extra weapons (Hellblasters for instance have 7 plasma rifles for every 5 marines), so if you have an excess of Intercessors you can easily transform them into other units by simply swapping arms. E.g. I myself, since I have a lot of old Deathwing terminators, and their arms seem to fit basic marines, I'll turn 9 Intercessors into Bladeguard vets by giving them shields. Try your hand, if there's one thing marines are great at is being easy to be creative with 👍

I'd be build more maleceptors if I was able to buy one. They've been out of stock in USA for almost a year now

I've only got two models waiting for paint. edit: Should be clear, it is an enginseer and a skatros. Both assembled. Neither actually in my army. edit #2: I should be more clear. They are the only two models I have currently and that means my grey pile of shame is 100% of the models I own.

As a blood angels player with tons of assault units, I think I should wait until my codex drops.

I desperately want a GSC combat Patrol or two before they inevitably get switched out for a comparatively dog one, but theyre sold out everywhere atm.

NOOO! You didn’t have to out me in the first sentence 😂😂

I didn't come here to get attacked if the first five seconds😂😂

Dang. Attacked before even the opening intro.

Imperial Knights need the Cerastus Atrapos released in plastic. I have no idea why it was omitted when they brought the rest of the Cerastus line into plastic.

I feel called out by that intro…

I didn't expect to be called out in the first line!

I day may come when I address the giant pile of shame in my back bedroom. But it is not this day.

Orks could get some kind of Goblin Tank.

I have plenty of unassembled boxes waiting and don't need more right now. However...

Regardless of what army you play, do yourself a favor and pick up a box o’ Gretchin. It’s like $20 usd and was just the most painting fun I’ve had in forever. So much personality and you can add so much flavor to them and just have fun with it. I now have 40 points of Orks to my name and I don’t regret it for a second

Between the intro and the fact that I ran out and bought 3 chaos vindicators my shame level is at a all time high

Hey, most of my models are at least primed thank you.

*looks up from my assempling of centurions* HEY NOW, not need for violence in the intro.

HEY..! Yes, I do have a lot of grey models in need of attention

All of us Auspex, all of us looked over at our grey piles of shame.

The beginning I feel personally attacked. My "needs painted" list includes. 2k points votann 4600 pts custodians 4000 points orks 2600 points grey knights. It's like he knows me. Srop hiding in my basement and putting me on blast.

"No paint, only assemble!"

Leftover Nobz bits + Space Marine Terminator bodies = excellent Meganobz kitbash You can make 5 for a little less $ than the 3 you get from the regular meganobz kit

Hey i'll have you know my World Eaters is fully painted and ready to go! Death Guard on the other hand...

Me with my 2k of unpainted custodes and world eaters as well as many character models to paint for my ultramarines: ah yes how should i expand my necron army

Damn, calling us all out right at the start yo.
