I hope you enjoyed my second Warhammer topic. It's not quite as in-depth as the first one, but the goal for this video was to just help out people looking to get into the tabletop game itself. So if this helps you out even in the slightest way, I have accomplished by goals.
Love you all
please continue to make warhammer videos, as well as other videos that interest you! Really enjoy seeing them
I got into warhammer just around the time when you did, also picked imperial guard. When I saw this video it was like. THE BEST TWO THINGS, BRICKY+WARHAMMER!
I was hoping you would upload on of these

Bricky: “world war 1 mechs”
Me: * looks through history book * did I miss a page?
FOR POLANIA
@@baalsagol346 such good lore there. Polania have the coolest mechs
@@jonathonspears7736 DEFINITELY!
although the Rusviets's mechs aren't shabby neither
@@baalsagol346 *angry saxony noises*
Some of the Saxony mechs look pretty good too, but you can’t deny the exaggerated swagger of the polanian resistance
Bricky is the kind of dude that all games need in their fandom. Especially the attitude of "I don't care who you are I just want to see new people enjoying it with the rest of us." Not enough people like that in any fandom.
100000% correct.
Very based
Fast forward to today, when one of his catch phrases on Adeptus Ridiculous is: "Man, F*CK elves!"
I kid, I kid.
I know it's (mostly) just a joke.
And to be fair, if I ever would have actually assembled, painted and played with my Eldar, I might have gotten sick of this saying at some point.
Of course an army whose main stick it is to jump in, hit you, only to run out of your range again is infuriating. So I get it. And it’s all in good fun.
I’m more infatuated with the ridiculously grimdark lore of the franchise anyhow.
Gatekeep your hobbies.
The original video in this series introduced me to Warhammer, and now I’m a Necron player who regularly plays.
"Get the army that you love the lore and design of first..." I don't think truer words have ever been spoken about this hobby, thank you.
Gamer since the '80s: that applies to almost every game, really. Sure, the might be something which is inherently OP that lends advantage to a player, but if you're playing /to/ /play (rather than to win) then you will have more fun taking the gear you like best - even if you lose.
@@CyberiusTalso this op thing in most games is... questionable. Most often Theres that one faction that is super ez to play and is still strong and thus is considered op. Then most ppl who wanna win in the game but dont rly understand the game choose that faction. Then a meta builds around it. And then comes that one guy that just plays the faction he likes and knows everything about them and their matchups and absolutely destroys all the meta faction abusers. It happens in every game. Knowing what you play is so much more dominant when it comes to winning then playing the "strong" faction
@@Luikaon Sure, that does happen. There are also some games that just have not been balanced properly. Also, I think there are occasions that some things /should/ be a bit OP - that's what arms races are about after all. Maybe don't let players get 'godmode' gear, though. ;)
I, basically, getting into the 40K cause of the Kriegs (design and lore lure me into this money sinkhole not "haha shovel meme") My first play was as Krieg using ww1 tactics and boys does it work and it work GREAT! 40K is the most 'free' tabletop game when come to playstyle and cost 40k if your will isn't strong enough.
@@Volgalist One of my mates joked that 40k was the cost of the game, not the name. ;)
So funny story, I started playing when I was about 17. I bought an army starter for Tau, since I am Korean and the Tau had this eastern design that reminded me of some of the older manhwa (manga) that I used to read, I really liked their design.
First time I ever walked into a Games Workshop store, one of the employees said I should go outside and let myself get hit by a truck so I wouldn't have to give anyone else the displeasure of playing against the Tau.
I was seventeen.
well to be fair, you should've been old enough to know that the tau are like the Nazis of 40k in everyone's eyes. and for the opposite reason people hate the nazis.
Jeez man were not that bad😉
I mean Tau is the "wtf is this bullshit" faction in 40k so i can't hate on that guy to much
"What is this 'me-lee' you speak of?
- literally EVERY F*CKING TAU EVER
Me: *plays for the sole purpose of endlessly carpet bombing my opponents with Tau bombers*
Why is anyone acting like that's okay? This community has some cancer apparently. Sorry bud
"Playing chess with 6 queens" That's the most eloquent way of describing Knights I've ever encountered
Playing Minecraft with sharpness 9999
Playing RuneScape with a maxed account
On the note of using knights as allies that Bricky mentioned, are there some sort of downside to using allies in the tabletop? Because I feel like a lot of shortcomings of specific armies could be fixed if you simply mixed and matched units from different factions into the same army.
@@carljohan9265 the two main downsides are that 1.)in 9th edition having multiple detachments/armies has a big cost from your starting command points and 2.) buffs/support auras don’t go across army lines, so you need to arrange for buffs in each separate faction
@@bradymcelroy1627 So a grey knight for example can't cast his buff spell on a space marine dreadnought?
Or is it just auras?
I know the Tau don't look like they fit in a grim-dark universe, but since they were separated from that universe for so long I like the lore that they're the young shiny guys venturing off into a completely dilapidated galaxy lol
That's how I see them too. They haven't been around long enough to get "grimdarked". They are the young, optimistic, bright eyed newbies to this horrible galaxy that haven't gotten their initiation yet. They're like how humanity started. Shiny mechs, railguns, and slick futuristic looking designs. We got yeeted 10,000 years into the past and had to rebuild everything we lost in the Age of Strife. The Eldar had the birth of Slaanesh. The Necrons had the C'tan. The Tau haven't had that event yet.
@@stratigangames508Spider-man energy
@@stratigangames508 Exactly. The Tau fit the 40k universe well, in that many factions *used to* be like them. They'll wind up like the humans or Eldar eventually.
Tip for the new players, don't be afraid to make up your own lore for your army. If you don't like the existing lore...make up your own. It really doesn't matter as long as you're having fun with it.
About a year late but I wrote up a full backstory for my Imperial and Chaos knight houses and why they hate each other. It gets really easy to get invested into a model surviving a battle when you wrote there life story.
@@americankid7782 that’s cool! Reminds me of XCOM
I am combining my grey knights and adeptus custodians because I cant afford full armies of both...but I am excited to try them together. yes I lose bonuses but I like this gold silver army of the these two factions that are some of the most loyal to the emp
@@SirFishdude That sounds like a Really Cool army. Especially with them both Having there specialties working together.
I found out that is the most fun part of building the army. Choosing the lore very accurately in order to buy and paint only the models you love and in the best way you can and like
"Orks are great if you like having RNG dictate your life."
Me, a Hearthstone player : Nice.
"Probably the most expensive horde army."
Me, a F2P Hearthstone player : Well, shit.
if you don't want to get second hand or crafty, then yes, otherwise they can be really affordable
If you like making stuff from cardboard and stuff, vehicle heavy Orkz are cheapest army in game...
To be fair with 40k, stuff doesn't rotate.
Me a lucky gambler: oh hell yeah!
laughs in Krieg gasmask.
How many Space Marines does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
One. He puts it in place and the lore revolves around him.
saying "the world revolves around him" probs works better for the joke
IM LITERALLY IN TEARS
That sounds like a stolen Sly Marbo joke
@@akumaking1 Well, it could bei Cato secarius
How many Orks does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
None. They already broke it so they all just believe the room is full of light
I remember my first game of 40k for 1 reason. I was playing space marines, against a Ork player who had Gaz'ghul on the field and shot him in the back with a bolter pistol and killed him instantly with no wounds.
Musta bin wunna those gaz'ghul impersanatin gitzs i meen single zoggin shot in da bak krumped em? I dont believe it
Most lore accurate ultramarine moment
I went immediately to Tyranids because I liked their "lore" and the idea of playing a monster faction.
Lore: You are hungry. The universe is a buffet. Nom Nom.
Also dope reasoning my friend.
I have more guys then you, therefore you lose
I recently got into 40K and the Tyranid instantly got my love because they are cool as hell
@@AsassinoSilenzioso mad respect my friendly buffet enjoyer, lolol
@@geargraphic2620 the MtG set worked wonders to me, made my look far deeper. And by the look of it, they translated very well the Swarm
Bricky is over here lowkey trying to shift his channel into a Warhammer channel, and I'm here for it.
More 40K!
Bricky already said he wants to do what he wants to do, albeit League, Warhammer or some other games. I'm actually glad someone isn't stuck with one game unlike alot of TF2 youtubers having trouble shifting to other games.

@@toopink4death492 thats true, especially in that community, when someone plays anything else everyone goes "dont be a muselk" muselk changed ot the more popular stuff and what he liked, people need to understand not everyones does it just for them
The Emperor Approves.
I wouldnt say lowkey
The golden rule is just so good, it's how my brother chose space wolves and I chose eldar, both over a decade ago and neither of us have switched
I can kind of remember when people didn't make fun of Space Wolves, good times. Thank god *no one has ever made fun of my Eldar.* >_>
Spaced92 I mean we can definitely try mr space elf
I don't agree with it tho, to an extent sure but if you hate playing melee and your favorite looking army both looks and lore wise is khorne, you're gonna have a bad time playing the tabletop. I'd say pick a few factions that would fit your playstyle and than check which ones you think look the best or which lore you prefer.

When I chose my first army I was like: "what is the coolest looking that is not a human". So anyways now I play death skeletons.
That may be the way I'm going if their 9th Ed rules are good
Hahaha death skeletons 😂
Wow... I went with the exact opposite, which faction is the *most* human.
So now I play Imperial Guard.
The necrons are probably the closest to humans while not being human
I chose aeldari as they look so damn cool
Play Orks because if you get any piece of scrap and pretend it's a winning Ork unit, Ork magic shall take you to victory
But gotta paint it red or purple first
@@marcow.7813 How do you can see the purple Models on the table? o.O
@@shadowhunter_ray_9640 You cant, thats why its a winning one!
With Orks, you can basically glue them together however the hell you want and it doesn’t matter. of course you can make this guy hold a big shoota in one arm, while having the other arm be twice as large and be swinging a giant two handed axe. All because of the power of imagination.
You spend just enough time talking about the table top. Touching on their stats and talking about their lore. What helps the most is your genuine excitement for the lore.
Two years after it was posted, this video is still pretty useful for newcomers to 40k such as myself. And also very entertaining
All imma say is if another fleshie interrupts my damn space nap I’m getting my C’tan shards out of the basement. Necrons ftw love you boyo
Am i having a stroke, i feel like im having a stroke
And if we send da Deff Dreads, you no see da Ork insaid? Then we send'em and steal ur glowy stuff!! AHAHA Orks da smartest!

It's such a breath of fresh air to hear someone say all the fun side of every army
Two things he missed about the Gold Bois (Custodies). You can make a functionally invincible captain. Also Trajann can kill a knight in one phase without perfect hits. Gold Bois are great
My first army was Ultra Marines in 98'. So I think third edition is when I came into it. I never got to play though. I am just getting back into it after 20 years. I've always loved The Custodes lore. By far my favorite. The space wolves would be my second choice. Grey nights my third.
I haven't ever touched a Warhammer miniature in my life and this is still so entertaining. Keep doing what you want Bricky, you still do amazing stuff no matter what the content is
No no, he has a point
Agreed, the lore is awesome.
I love warhammer mainly cuz of the lore. Maybe I'll start the hobby of the table top someday too
word of advice bro if you ever get into 40K make sure you’re financially stable because once you get addicted those miniatures sure do add up
@@spoonerismstuff wut?
"Now is a good time to be a necron player" says Bricky as the strongest necron character in the lore is coming back to life..............perhaps it is...........
You don't say......
there's a video below recommended for me to watch next... "how gw screwed up the new necron rules"
Oh are they bringing back the whole C'than again?
@@colboy1fish silent king probably as powerful as the emperor himself.
Lets hope he isn't just a massive point sink that gets shot off the board before he can actually do anything like Magnus. Also that the primaris marime that ends up killing him in 1v1 combat is actually named
I can attest to the fact that custodes ARE good for newbies as I just started and won my first 3 out of 4 battles, but trajin valourus almost died to an elder farseer so he pulled back and had a vertus praetor gun down an old man
That's impressive. Me and my Orks lost our first 13 games in a row
@@rickrivers2021 I realize they were going easy on me. I now only paint after losing 30ish games
@@rickrivers2021 GW has always hated the orcs, rules-wise. With early edition rules they were simply unwinnable :/
@Jagonath oh, actually Orks were pretty good when I started playing. I just needed a long time to figure the game out
Never had anyone tell me to just buy the army I like lore wise, always came down to balance and tiers. Thanks Bricky.
New stuff is expensive because is new, old stuff is expensive because is old. Let's be real. Warhammer is really expensive!!
I would play if it was even close to what it should cost. Yeah I’m not buying the lies of costs, my uncle and father built and designed the process of plastic model making and it has only gotten cheaper. GW are money grubbing scumbags
@@Billio68 you mean Greedy Workshop!?
Play on table top simulator lol 20 bucks and some mods and you can play warhammer
actually it depends on how many people want it and supply
supply and demand baby
@@Billio68 costs are irrelevant tbf, it’s all supply and demand
Bricky: "If Chad Thundercock was a person, he'd be one of them"
Dick Thunder: "my time has come"
Bricky was where I started my deep dive. I don’t know if you’ll see this but just in case you do, thank you. You made an incredibly complex and convoluted setting easier to understand and you gave me a proverbial launch point to get started with my new obsession. To me you’re right up there with Arch, Leutin, Majorkill, and Baldemort. Again, thanks!
As someone who's first army was chaos daemons of khorne, I completely agree with not starting with them. You only have one phase that matters, and list building is easy because you don't have many units to choose from. Now that I'm expanding into other armies I'm realizing how much harder it is to try and build a list because of all the options
"I don't' care if my tank hits on 4s... when I got fuckin 3 of them." Absolute gold. Completely summarizes the Imperial Guard
Accuracy by volume of fire
Start with whatever looks cool duh
and you get wiped on 2nd turn bcs your enemy AM player.

@@itspersonal7469 Necrons forever
I was actually told that when i first went into a games workshop the employee said don't buy what is good in the game buy what you think is cool if you buy something you don't like you will never end up painting it
The first minis I put together and painted was Skitarii Rangers. Took me ages and they turned out brilliant.
The guys at the games shop told me I was insane for starting with something so difficult and fiddley.
But cause of the love of their style and lore that I have, it made the hours of slowly chipping away am amazing and fun experience.
I'm just starting to get into the hobby and bought AdMech instantly aswell. They just look so sick and their lore is awesome.
only weird part of them is the amongus robot
I started with the Space Marines since I had a Know No Fear starter set and yeah, you’re right…great place to start, but I had a hard time finding people to play with me lol. I ended up just starting a Space Wolves army since I am a huge fan of William King and the stories he wrote. I really hope I don’t regret this lol. I really want to try the Sisters of Battle too

"I would recommend trying to paint something like the Dunecrawler before moving onto Cawl."
As someone who's first venture into painting minis is Cawl, I can confirm that this is solid advice.
Oof man, I can only imagine
You absolute madman.
Well, I'm starting with Skitarii Rangers, wish me luck.
@@SimoLInk1698 I started in the same place, how did you do?
I started looking at some 40k lore and got interested because I’ve seen people paint miniatures and it seems cool. I expected this video to be like 5 years old, with the game dying because I always seem to roll up to games (tabletop and video games alike) as they die. I was super excited to see that this is about a year old, making 9th edition less than a year old, and my recommended got loaded with brand spankin new content for warhammer. Great to see this kind of niche fandom have such a strong community, I think I’ll pick up a big grey knight vehicle and just give painting a go, so if I don’t enjoy it I can just have a tank in my room now
The Eldar are OP all ‘till you realize the Riptide you redeployed next to has early warning override.
This is one of those hobbies I will admire from afar, but one I could never afford to partake in

Same, even if I had the money the painting part is very intimidating
@@nicholascarrasco2141 yea, i hope they selling different type of miniatures that already painted, even tho people might argue that the fun part
@@harshmallow6882 there are professional painters out there, but the price of the army at least doubles. If you have the income, go for it. I was a GM for D&D and painting was a big pain in my ass, couldn’t afford the pros paintjob though!
With how much 40k costs just to collect the army, and how many that need to be painted, it’s too much time and income investment. I love the lore though!

Used thee only melee dude, and thee most OP weapon ever. Fight an ork to test your worth
Also, another cool thing about Orks is that the color you paint them has a tangible difference in how they play. They have the ability to basically (in large groups) believe things will work hard enough to make it work.
For example:
Red things go faster.
Yellow things explode bigger.
Blue things get luckier.
White things hit harder.
Camo things are sneakier.
Purple also makes thing sneaker. Why?

My friend recently got me to take the plunge into this universe by getting me a mini painting starter set, it's such a vast universe but I must say, the Chaos Space Marines look the coolest and from the little I've played so far, they match my aggressive playstyle as well.

I really appreciate you starting the video laying out “The Rule of Cool”. I came into 40k 3 years ago and thankfully had a veteran player lay down the Golden Rule for me. Thus, AdMech will always be my first and primary army.
Listen to Bricky, everyone. He’s speaking gospel. If you dig an army, jump in. DO NOT chase comp metas for your first.
I know I’m replying late, but this really is true. My first army was Chaos Space Marines, and I’ve been having a blast. I’ve gotten my butt kicked way more than I’ve ever won, but it’s still fun just because I love the models and aesthetic so much.
I finally played tabletop warhammer for the first time today. I just finished the game like 15 mins ago as of making this comment.
My friends got me hooked on Warhammer with games like Darktide and finally convinced me to play tabletop. And it was way more fun than I expected, especially for my first ever tabletop experience.
I was adeptus mechanicus and he was the adeptus custodes and we had a really close matchup. It was a bit confusing at first, but once I understood it after a lil bit it was amazing.
Thanks for this video, I have been considering starting trying to get into mini's and have been looking at the warhammer website with no idea at all where to start. This run down of the differn't options was great and has given me a lot of food for thought!
Bricky I'm a competitive necron player, and I just want to say thank you for putting out quality 40k content like this,. The hobby is seeing a crazy increase in popularity, and it's fuel is amazing passionate content like yours. 10/10 well done!
PS: you did the necrons justice ;)
I've been wanting to play 40K ever since I got into the lore a few years ago, but actually started getting to know the game for the past year or so. I wanted either AdMech or Necrons based on lore and looks, but AdMech was a bit weird and complicated to paint and Necrons were a bit not too viable. When the silent king teaser and 9th was announced I INSTANTLY knew I was gonna pick Necrons first.
Waiting for a new Trazyn model is gonna be hell.
@@commandercostas Hahaha, glad to hear you're picking the right army! I'd say wait until the codex drops before buying anything... However... You can never go wrong with wraiths, doomsday arcs, and tomb blades they're consistently good in every edition. If you want to get buy stuff in advance, those are your best bets

I've got about 2-3 thousand points of blood angels. What bricky said about using the space marines as a step to figure out what you want to play next is absolutely true. I'm eyeing Knights now and they're, let's say, not the most competitive army to play.
Nothing else to say but thank you for the great content, you’ve been instrumental in opening my eyes to one of my new favorite hobbies. I’ve met so many great new people to share it with, so just thanks
"Now is a good time to be a necron player". Gonna jump on this point: If you're thinking of starting a Necron army, make sure that you check ebay for discounted models once people get their hands on the 9th Edition boxset. Why?
Well, the box has the rulebook, new Space Marines, and Necrons, and all the Marine players will buy it for the rulebook and to play with the new toys like the spoiled brats we are. Then, we're going to try to sell them second hand to recoup some of the cost. And since there are so many of us, supply will outpace demand and the price of the Necrons will dip. You'll be able to buy "second hand" new models at a decent price.
Finally some good news for Necrons. Y'all deserve it after being treated like the metal-headed stepchild for so long.
So long ? They've been really strong and super cool looking for 2 editions back to back
Well this wont work in sweden, cause over here the secondhand market is nuts. People sell the new units as singles and make profit from it. So that demand is allways high :(
Dude as a new necron player who just assembled my first start collecting army and was looking at getting the indomitus box, thanks for the tip lol. I will definitely do so instead of ordering a box myself
@@sirjezzumz check the Facebook market place if you have that. I've seen the necron side for £60.
*Has an interest in Thousand Sons and Harlequins*
Bricky: LOL NO!
Clowns are looking pretty good right now fam.
Didn't he say thousand sons are almost as good as death guard?
Imagine you are a new player watching this with little to no knowledge of all the factions (aka the target demographic of this style of video) There is absolutely no way that particular viewer even knows there is an additional Chaos faction that wasn't covered. Besides a picture of Magnus the Red and a Lord of Change ($140 and $150 cost models for a single unit) there is ZERO images of Thousands Sons.
To be fair, Bricky does mention Thousands Sons favorably, albeit offhandedly while talking about the superior Deathguard. Picking an army is more than just, okay this one is low tier so don't even think about picking them, as this video even mentions itself. Aesthetics is huge and Sons look so badass, I was tempted to pick them just by looks alone. Also what is Thousand Sons known for? Well that viewer doesn't know they are some of the most heavy hitters of sorcery, since it was never covered.
@@ZombieMonkey7 fair enough.
@@ZombieMonkey7 just collect whoever looks cool, 40k has heaps of rng and sometimes you never know if your army will be good one game and shite the other + thosand sons are pretty alright this edition.
I came back to rewatch even though I know the summary of all the factions but the way you explain it slaps
Wow this video is awesome!!! i’ve been wanting to get into 40k but didn’t know where to start, this is the perfect introduction i needed, thank you.
If anyone is just starting to get into 40k, a good way in is via Kill Team, which is at 40k skirmish level rather than a gigantic 2000 point army, it has a 20 model limit for teams so the barrier for entry is much lower.
It's a great way to try out different factions without having to spend a fortune.
Where can i find resources for this? Me and my friends are trying to get into it.
@@yakatsusensei325 I'll never understand people asking these questions on CZcams when you have a freaking search bar and Google. Just Google "Warhammer 40k Kill Team beginners guide", how tf is so hard to come up with this idea on your own?
"The eldar have a few models on the older side..."
Eldar Players: A FEW?!
Meanwhile the Spaehss Mehreens get 10 new not only models, but also units every few months because THEY need it. The eldar make me sad. A good bit of their special characters still have their 3rd edition models!
I'm sorry. I do not understand since I'm a noob. Please explain. I can only imagine that what he said was an overestimation.
@@jackychang9148 Boy, it was anything BUT an overestimation, in my response i mention a decent amount of their named characters have models from 3rd edition. Which was 2 decades ago. Also their rules are very slowly but surely becoming obsolete, id say only play Eldar if you REALLY like their lore.
@@jackychang9148 Craftworld eldar have models that are over 21 years old and unchanged, they're absolutely not for beginners.
I'm sorry that your eldar waifus look like raisins my man
It's a real shame
I just discovered your channel and wanted to thank you for making them. I have been very curious about this game but honestly didn’t know anyone to ask about it.
Warhammer 40k has very long and complex lore that forkes into various branches and hard to comprahence. For myself, you have make it relatively easy to understand and i would love to hear detailed stories from you in the future perhaps. Again, thank you.
Me picking my first army: Ooh Thousand Sons look cool, I like the Egyptian aesthetic :D
Me having, never painted a single model before, realizing I now have to actually paint the Thousand Sons: D:
😂😂😂😂
I felt that when I got some rubrics, it was pain at first before I customized them as my own custom warband, claimed as a successor chapter and was like “screw it I’ll do what I want”
Painting warhammer figurines is the source of much anguish among 40k players and many laughs among those who see the results.
GOLD TRIM UNTIL THE END OF TIME
I pick harlequins and I'm OK with that
so.... necrons have an ability to resurect units?
*inhales in Black color magic player*
hell yes
You can also do that with death guard with certain models. they are more like black/green.
@@techpriestalex8730 White=Imperial Guard? Blue=Tau. Black=Necrons. Red=Orkz. Green=Knights.
I smell some heresy there boy
well i mean. what else would they do. they have fuckin necro in their name.
A bit on the nose. Isn't it?
Thank you for the vid(s) and thanks the deep dives into the armies. I had Space Marines for a long time but never played the game. Then I bought a Tau set and the same thing repeated and we're talking like early 2000's so they've been collecting dust. Now that I've watched Play On and saw you with your army then saw you had a YT channel. Subbed and checked the videos out and now I think I'll be a little more confident going in on a game and actually have a army to roll with. Again thanks!
Just got my first patrol pack for deathguard. Kind of excited hearing they are in a nice spot and will be a lil harder to learn for a new player
"I can see why someone would like orks"
that's good to know, if i recall when you mentioned them in your xenos video you said you've never heard/seen an angry ork player. we're the goofballs that make everyone laugh or stare in awe with our antics
Also, best army too collect. Many great kits, easy to kitbash, many third party sellers of bits. Many many funny sides like freebooterz (space pirate orks) speed freaks (dumb orks on vehicle that want to go fasta). You want uniforms, you can, you want dumb hats, you can. Everything is possible with orks.
@@sportyeight7769 but are the speed freaks red?
@@bonogiamboni4830 what other colour would they be!? PURPLE?? Lol
@@mojn4249 i guess you're right, of course they're red, it would be weird otherwise.
@@mojn4249 There might be purple speed freakz but no one haven't seen them, they are just so sneaky!
Hears: "Good starter army" Nah.
Hears: "Chad mc Thundercock"
Hearing that custodes are cheaper than most armies to build and that they are all Chads made me commit to buying my first squad of 40k minis ever. I got the custodes wardens with the shield captain as an HQ in the box. And I can have a custodes banner man option as well in the box as well I think. Package arrives late this week or early next week lol
I wanna make an army thanks to that statement and that they are the cheapest army so I am gonna love staving off armies that outnumber us as brothers
Jason Furner cheapest? Each figure is like $60
rolan4 dezwinz ya but that’s because an army of custodes is only like 2 boxes of minis (I’ll give my own custodes army as an example). Thats how elite they are. Compare that to the guard who needs like 5 to 9 boxes or to space marines who need 3 to 6. An example would be my 500 point army. Custodian warden box that contains 4 custodes wardens plus a shield captain that’s included in the box plus the achillus dreadnought I have coming from eBay (untouched, unpainted and in amazing condition for ONLY 30 bucks). That’s pretty much a 500 point army (a little less) and can go head to head against an army that has 4 to 9 boxes worth of minis lol. And it cost me just a bit higher than $100, while their army is at least $300
Tell me how that’s not cheap again? Could have been cheaper too if I got my custodian wardens from eBay as well.
Btw each box contains a squad usually unless it’s a named character (for the custodes, the only named characters are trajann and valerian)
@@rolan4dezwinz381 when making an army is can be the cheapest one because you don't need as many
Right now I play Blood Angels, Death Guard, and Necron. I just bought the combat patrol box for Sisters today. Also in 5th-7th I played Imperial Guard, Daemons, and Tyranid as well. I skipped 8th and and got back in on 9th.
I both thank and curse you for having made this video bricky. You are to blame for my ongoing addiction to this plastic crack and my growing pile of shame.
You introduced me to this hobby that ive grown love so much and into which a steady cut of my hard earned money now dissapears each month.
The best 40K army to start with is the one you think is the coolest, because you'll probably never stop thinking that. 15 years ago, when I was 16 years old I became a Blood Angel and as much as I love my Orkz and look at Tyranids with a quiet, guilted envy, I am still a Blood Angel at heart. Always will be.
Imagine the necrons being like
Jimmy noo!
A few moments later
Oh your back, ok
Oh there he goes again
Your enthusiasm about the necron faction has strengthened my reasoning to make it my 1st. Thanks :)
your explanation videos definitely caught my interest in this game, and this was literally my next question. Thank you for your content. I am now subscribed.
I don't really care about ever playing Warhammer, I just like the sound of Bricky's voice and his video editing :3
This.
I didnt even know what warhammer was but Bricky is SO into it i like hearing him just ramble about it.
Kinda gay tho, nothing against it don't get me wrong, you have my support if you need bro, I'm here.
bricky's voice + more 40k lore = bliss
No homo
These are facts. Bricky's voice, awesome lore, and a space RPG is all I need in my life.
Preferring Imperial Guard over "Astra Militarum", easiest like of my life.
Report to your station, Guardsman!
What's the best place to buy Imperial guard mini's
@@itstriplem2069 If it's not brand new and likely to sellout instantly I just buy everything on Ebay or Amazon. Quite a few great sellers on the East Coast (if you're here)such as Flipside Gaming ship EXTREMELY fast and usually 5-15 dollars off GWs price for most units/armies. Which is typical when you don't buy directly from GW, but the shipping is the fastest I've ever had.
They've sent me preorder items the day they came out officially. And of course shipping is typically free from these sellers. Also, say something is wrong with your mini, like you damaged it. GW customer service will still help you out and send the bits you need/whole damn sprue. I once managed to screw up my Saint Celestine I bought from Amazon. Sent them pictures and spoke through email and they sent me an entire new box for her for free! So yeah, you can't go wrong!
Good luck, Guardsman, and welcome! Perhaps my sisters will fight alongside your company one day.
@@rain6353 Thank you bro, your service to the Imperium has been appreciated.
I prefer to call them the wall of guns.
Bricky: "I would wait on building anything chaos related..."
Me: *Falling in love with Tzeencth and 1000sons.* "Yea nah..."
I’m very new to the hobby and didn’t know how much I needed this video until it showed up in my recommended! Great job on the video btw :)
14:00 "They're pretty expensive." Death Korps players. "Yes, KINDA expensive"
how expensive do Death Korps figures usually get? not sarcasm, just curious
@@allucazum8034 10 Guardsmen cost 16 Euros and 10 Guardsmen of Krieg cost 58 Euros from Forgeworld......... and i'm still considering it.........
Forge world resin is a pain to work with, after 100 death korps inf i never want to make a nother forge world army.
@@allucazum8034
Well the more regular regiments are around 40 bucks for 10 regular guys, while the most played Cadian and Catachan are around 20 for 10 guys.
Death Korps are 60 bucks.
Their tanks are twice the price of regular imperial guard tanks (normal around 40 theirs around 80)
Their unique 5 Rider unit costs around 100
Rule of thumb is that you run 60 normal per 1k points, so that's 360 bucks alone for the infantry. When you add the tanks etc you come out at around 600 bucks for 1k points Death Korps.
1k points Cadians can be had for around 250 bucks.
Same price holds true for many other armys. General Space Marine or Death Guard are even cheaper if you use the starter boxes.
200 Bucks for 1k Death Guard AND 1k Space Marines
Not either BOTH
Cough recast cough
Bricky: "Space Marines are very easy to paint and noob-friendly."
Me: **Cries in Lamenter Chaper**
LOL. That’s like a harlequin player complaining about painting motley. You knew what you were in for when you signed up.
I mean...yeah I would cry trying to paint lamenters, mainly because I keep thinking of the fluff and it makes me extra sad.
i love the fact that bricky is talking about WARHAMMER BU(T) uses the original STAR CRAFT SPACE MARINES soundtrack,such a baller move
Love the video, after I saw it I spent weeks pondering over which army I’d go with and I finally settle on Tyranids. Got the codex yesterday and am saving up to spend money on the hobby.
Thanks for this video!

At first i wanted to pick up the Blood Angels, but backed away because everyone said they were too mainstream. Then i said screw it i'm just here to have fun and enjoy the 40K, so now i'm saving up to add Sanguinius's boys into my ranks
I mean… they look cool… n’ shiet
How is your army now?
An old mate of mine went blood angles and got 4 or 5 death companies 😂
Your Warhammer videos have gotten me into the space. Thanks! Also just found you last week. Been watching like all your vids. Your content is amazing!
Those two videos and this one got me and my brother into warhammer and im glad to see these vids doing so well.
"The tau suckat close combat!" too bad you'll never get close enough to hit them
Laughing in overwatch is now a stratagem
Tau player here
Once i got great defence firing line in a trench
My enemy was Space Marines - he wanted to teleport squad of TERMINATOR on my head
Teleport missed and send whole squad (all mele based) 5 inch in front of my line
...
They did NOT survive to the next turn
I did used all of my shots on them - but Damm
*Look at my rival FACE*
HA HA!
My Tyranids would disagree, I get plenty close haha
@@simluar They can't kill your your dudes before they reach them when you outnumber their forces 3 to 1 *taps head*
The lies! I have 3 armies, one of which are tau, and I made it my goal to make a semi decent mele tai army, and there are some pretty good line ups. If you want to see more mele tau, might I recommend the "40k in 30 minuets: tau Vs dark imperium" battle rep
Bricky “Collect the army you enjoy the most”
Me: “Yeah! Death Korps of Krieg!”
Also me: “I can’t find any Krieg models”
Forge World - Games Workshop subsidiary for small production runs
Or recasters if you want to buy cheaper fakes with questionable quality
Your wallet will end up being crippled if you make a full-on krieg army but more power to you
Yeah GW did Krieg dirty, but you can play Mordian Iron Guard.
The soibois of the Imperium.
One can dream of building a 10k point Krieg army
3rd party krieg with gw models
Very helpful Bricky, thank you for all your Warhammer vids. Your passion and exuberance make your videos so much easier to watch compared to the dry exposition of your peers.
