Great video! I think you did a good job covering most of the key points. I personally would've gone into just a little bit more detail on the army rule, but that's just me. As for what I want to see next. . . The obvious picks are Stormcast and Skaven, which I do want to see in spite of how obvious they are as choices. But beyond that, I'd like to get your thoughts on DoK, Nurgle, OBR or either of the Dwarf armies. But most of the Death factions *are* a bit overtuned right now, so I'd understand if you wanted to wait on OBR.

Thanks cobba, great overview! Went into my friendly local game store today with nothing in mind and came across the little boy riding the big boy for the first time - it was one of those moments when you first look at a model and can’t help but smile. Had to pick him up, really looking forward to painting it!

I'm going to do Lumineth Realm Lords next but after that, which army should I cover in my Should You Play Series? 😄

Rookie numbers dude 😅

Could this be an event that shatters the final chains imprisoning Slaanesh? Meaning the Hedonites could get a power boost and a somewhat unifying event

At least you didn't buy a £25 khorne dice cup like me.

Would you be okay sharing what the background music is?

Flesh eater courts standing up as the “defenders” of the realm is a hilarious idea considering they are actually doing what they imagined themselves doing (only to go back to normal the second they finish)

Thank you!

Just call yourself a collector rather than a gamer. Problem solved and boy, do I collect 😁.

I say this a lot, but warhammer isn't the most expensive hobby out there to get into. I've done various card games (WAY more expensive to keep up with a constantly evolving meta). Working on cars, wood working, metal working, etc are all more expensive. Most hobbies that people dive into are expensive. The nice thing about warhammer is if you have a little bit of restraint and only dive into one or two armies, you make your initial purchases to build up to like 3k points and then that's it. You can get your rules free online (skip battletomes if you only care about rules. wahapedia has your rules for free). You can spend like 1500-2000 bucks and that's the end of the expenses. You don't have to get the new foot hero that releases every edition, but even if you do it's a 30-40 dollar purchase once every 3 years. Sounds like a lot, but you'll spend more than that to build a good gaming pc and not even have games to go with it. If you're a console player then you're 500 bucks in the hole for the console and you have games that you're probably buying all the time. Warhammer is a good hobby to get into if you don't have issues with impulse control.

Toll was right, Sigmar truly send his best into the batlle... Well, at least strongest

My adventure with warhammer began with one box of Blood Angel Jump Pack Marines, using a gift card on amazon, and not needing anything at the time so figured I'd grab a model kit just for fun. "These look cool" and whats this warhammer thing! Shortly after finishing that kit I decided to look into this universe... 3 years later I sit with over 1750 models cluttering my home, and over $7,000 wasted on little plastic soldiers, paints/tools, books, etc. Multiple 2k armys for 40k, AOS, etc. Yet still to play a single full game... Problem isnt the cost to entry, its the hobby addiction that occurs and snowballs.

Hi, nice video without filters on the $$$. I just went into the old world when it has been released 6 month ago. I had few standalone boxes last 10 years from GW like warhammer quest, dreadfleet etc. but I waited a long time that, maybe, GW decide to release a new wargame which takes place in the old fantasy world. I got a first bretonnian army (2000-2500 pts), which costed me a lot (450e) since I bought 80% brand new stuff. Then I bought many second hand Empire stuff to get another army "for later" (lol). I managed to get it for less than half I spent on the brets (180e, also for 2000pts). I was really enjoyable to sneak up good deals and rescue old minis. Finally I'm building my own table and I'm just planning to get few more 1000pts armies to introduce the game to non-warhammer-friends at home. All that money spent didn't boost my motivation to paint and I still have only 2 units painted on the first army... and I still haven't played the game with my minis. This hobby turns you into impulsive buyer. But I like the fact that GW stuff still hold its value on second hand market so you can just sell the excessive stuff you have and voilà.

About the Blades of Khorne, the last Dawnbringers book has portrayed the ascencion of Korghos Khul (main antagonist of the very first AoS box) to daemonhood. My guess is that Khorne will be the next faction to be explored after Skaven and Stormcast.

I own 9 armie between aos and 40k all at 2k some over 5k... main thing i learned. Buy second hand... fb market place, warpfire mini's, and local stores... buy second hand if you can... i got 3k in grey knight for like $600...

When you said you already bought your second faction I knew you were one of us

I'm a little relived that nothing was said about BOC disappearing. Would've been upset if the Skaven brought the beastmen to extinction.

Be super careful with that varnish spray if you decide to use it. Test first for sure. I ruined several miniatures with it.

I’ll make you a small bet when the next book for cities of Sigmar comes out there will be no sign of dwarfs or dark elf’s . It will be a completely human focused with new miniatures to replace the two removed fractions.

I will refuse to the day i die to accept the horned rat as the 5th chaos god, there has ALWAYS been ONE TRUE 5TH GOD OC CHAOS, the first god, he who came first....MALAL.

Stick to gundam this is insane.

around 10:30 you mention about subbing models/units being hard. Proxy is a word you want to keep in your vocabulary for this game. Cheapest way to try new things, tell your opponent what the model/s is/are representing, and as long as its base size is on point, you should be fine with most players. base sizes can be checked for free at wahapedia.

That bit about the ogors at the end givd me hope theres new man eaters on the horizon. Otherwise it feels like there might be justification to reform the grand alliances.

I try to wait for their big box deals to where I should get two unites for free

Good work! I loved hearing about how some of the Death factions reacted to The Hour of Ruin. That was incredibly interesting. Especially the Bonereapers and Soulblight, now I'm imagining someone kitbashing Kritza with Skaven bits to make him look even more rat-like.

10:49 Kritza: "My time has come! Finally I shall rule!" Every other SBG: "Shut the hell up, rat face!"

"If you want to play the game or whatever"

So we have a lore accurate reason why the Nighthaunt need to be nerfed, lol

I don’t think this will be a second afe of chaos but I am enjoying the Great Horned Rat making a move for more power. I was wondering how it was going to react to Slaanesh psuedo return. The Great Horned Rat was the 4 god in Slaanesh’s absence. I know will be stopped not by outside forces but by its own backstabbing and vying for more power and glory.

Im currently printing Giants to play Age of Fantasy with, but to try and show some warhammer devotee's here that there are better AND cheaper options by making a Sons of Behemet army for spearhead, and honestly the Cast N Play Giants I am using look way way way better than the super over priced GW offerings.

Which factions events/reaction to the Hour of Ruin do YOU think is the coolest? Personally I think the implication on the Death factions is very interesting, I also think it's crazy that Cities of Sigmar are STILL launching Dawnbringer Crusades!

Enjoy farming wyvern forever

lol, I started a few years ago. Totally new. Decided to go all in on 3 armies, so I could do a full OCD thing collecting. ..... Well, am all-in on 6 AoS armies, 5 40k armies (had almost zero interest in 40k when I started lol), have every single Warcry book and box, only missing the very very first box they did, all the lore books for AoS, tons of storage, game mats, insane amount of terrain, over 200 paints..... Yeeeeeeah. Buckle up sir, you're in for an expensive journey xD

Haha, I bought the Lumineth battletome and never used it before the new edition.

I would highly recommend that you invest in a paint shaker as it will save you a ton in paint costs

I know you think your next year will be less expensive, but, your journey sounds very similar to mine and each year since has seen roughly doubling in spending till now. That being said, I was the first into the hobby and then got my brother, cousin, and brother-in-law into it by printing them units and armies. Also,.I do believe I've maxed out at yearly spending now and feel it slowing down as I have a 8K point space marine army now mostly painted and I don't feel too much pull to fill it out much more. I've reached critical mass and it feels good. I did keep track of spending each year and will continue to do so. I peaked out at about $4k CAD a year which is too much but I am slowing down. Appreciate the video man. Cheers.

dont buy books, all of the info you need is available free online. ALSO CONSIDER SECOND HAND! I have built so many armies for 50% off msrp because they were built already. It helps others get other things they need and helps you get into new armies.

"I won't need to buy another model for a very long time".....oh, but you will

Atleast your wife doesnt play with you. We both play 40k and AoS. That comes with a ludicrously high pricetag 😂

what you spend in the second year and any year after that is dependant on these things: do you start any new armies? (expensive but not as expesnive as your first year if it is only 1 army) are you going to get into the sub hobbies of the hobby (stuff like specifically being a super good painter and thus spending more on brushes and paint or getting an airbrush, or something like getting into 3d printing or making your own terrain and gaming board or buying books to read to dive deeper into the lore, and in my opinion a very fun thing is getting some older editions and stuff) are you going to get into other games (this is the most comparable when youre just starting out since you can only detract your hobby supplies for the most part but if its a skirmish game like underworlds or warcry you could spend very little or even nothing on it) and ofcourse best of all and this will happen if youre in the game for the long run, youre entire army getting refreshed which can result in you making your current army but with new minis, or you just buying the rules and getting on with life. (worse case scenario you get folded into another army such as what happened to the deathwatch in 40k or your army could cease existing like squats back in the early days of 40k) these are the factors for how mutch you end up spending in the hobby + how long you remain in it (tragically the hobby has a high turn over rate of people getting into it, then get out of it and often enough go back into it and for some this is a cycle) this might all come off as negative but I do mean it well, I personnally dont play AoS, have painted some of the models for fun but I still am a massive warhammer guy through and through

gachas are gamer hell. shit gameplay, dialogue and story with collection and gambling addiction to keep you hooked in the masochistic hell loop.

Great restraint. Dude, when I got into this hobby… I got into this hobby. I was almost buying a 2000 point army monthly. By the end of my first year I had 8 armies. Highest I got up to was 10 all in 40K. Once my friend and I started to get into AoS, I sold all but 4 armies and now I have 4 AoS armies. This hobby isn’t too bad if you have 1-3 armies but dang, me having 8 can be rough if you want to keep them up to date. Moral of the story, never do what I’ve done lol pick 1-3 armies, focus on them.

I spent 5g last year lol

Thrift shop. Old chess set.😊😊

I bought myself a property to store all my warhammer in… it was a good investment. I have a 90m2 gaming/painting/work area.. 1500 for 1 year is nothing

You: I try not to rush into purchases GW: We will fix that

I had a rule in my days of playing warhammer; I would not buy something else until I had painted the previous purchase. Mostly, I stuck to this (mostly), but it was not helped by my having to walk by a GW store on my way home from work :D I've found that this is a hobby that is very prone to engendering impulse buys.

I need to ask how did you manage to pay over 100$ for stl files ? they have sale on my mini factory like 3 - 4 times per year and prices are 50% off and if you subscribe for like 10$ you get them free each month
