They way Jay said "civilians" has me rolling on the floor.
Not gonna lie, that took me out. It was genius
It sounds a lot better than 'normies'. I love mega nerd games, but DETEST the gatekeeping and superiority that some folks in the hobby put out there.
@@zissoulander I agree, gatekeeping is so awful.
what is a jack box game ? what is with these words lol
The way jay takes these steps is like hes trying to raise kittens
"Give them food and show them the good wargaming life"
I've had a lot of success doing this. Hosted Kill Team Tournament birthday parties. "Simplified" rules, well thought out teams, and good food make it work!
Welp, we've got 4 or 5 unbuilt teams at my house, but as soon as I got them to bare minimum battle ready, I'll definitely be trying this out
@@soffren I found that half teams (a single "fire" team) is the ideal number of models and rules to start. Gets them interested in trying additional models for follow-on games as well!
A friend and I are setting up a Bloodbowl league of 6, for friends whom never played before. We supply everything (painted teams and pitches) and have introduction games beforehand to give them a general feel for the game. Hope everyone will have a blast playing it!!
I want a nemesis like Sean!!! Also a good way to simply get your friends into games is open a CZcams Video about the game next to them and put it at max volume 😁
wow, that sounds incredibly irritating
Do we know if Sean is real? I mean.... has anyone actually seen him? What if he's just a made up adversary?
@@SciFiPorkChop281:35
That is literally Sean, lmao. Green flannel, orange t-shirt
Man I can’t wait to groom my friends into playing warhammer!
Dude PHRASING!!!
@@stonkotron319 Yeah... it's a little weird.
@@frogblasttheventcore69 r/whoosh
He knew what he was doing with that phrasing.
@@mapsmaps2215 Redditor spotted. Engaging hostile reaction systems. Prepare for self destruction is 3...2...1....
My group is about 12 strong. We call ourselves Basement Hammer because we play in my basement. We mostly play 40K, but we also have board and card games when other friends come out. We played Catan this past weekend while others hobbied. Luckily, my wife plays the other games outside 40k. But she loves hosting everyone and cooking for everyone. (She was watching this vidwith me and agreed with you Jay.)
Living the dream man. You’re so blessed to have that many friends and who share common interests
We got a good toilet at my friendly local games store.
I played a game of Nemesis with my friends too. One of my friends won by bailing on us to the escape pods while we got mauled by hungry intruders. I thought he was just being a total Sean, but it turned out his win condition was to be the sole survivor.
The oven pizza is a time honored tradition of our wargaming group.
I guess I’m lucky - I have a standing 40k group where we meet up at one of our homes, play some games, and eat and drink. It’s been a while since we roped someone in, but we have recruited some folks this way.
Maybe I need some Knights to help the newbies. Or maybe I just need friends that are susceptible to suggestion to join the game.
5:48 - 5:55 is the exact reenactment of how I felt playing WHFB in secondary school - I lost so many games! No wonder I only paint minis now :D
Aces high is a great X-wing variant for a group. Everyone has one ship which makes things simple and quick. You get killed, you respawn.
I love that terrain set of this month. Simply amazing :)
Play one page rules firefight/skirmish using your GW minis, perfect intro to wargaming right there
I think PvE scenarios are a good starter as well. Not everyone likes to be competetive the more time and energy is required for a game. I have very good Zombicide sessions with friends, so I think they would like tabletop gaming, but I am too honest about the cost of the hobby which deters them.
Truth! I used GFN Gaming Operative Deathmatch format to teach rules to new players. Fun game shooting bugs and stuff together! One operative each to learn data cards and mechanics
Agreed, while I like to play one page rules instead of 40k. It can be really fun to make just a monster sized enemy and you and your allies job is to kill it. Put some random numbers on units in range and roll to see where the bugger is going lol.
Before I got a job at GW I had to run the regional manager through a Demo game of 40k or WFB. It was a wild ride involving descriptions of gore and minimal dice rolling. The results of the dice rolls BARELY mattered. You rolled a six to hit with a sword?!? "The Tyranids head is cut clean off, acidic ichor sprays from alien arteries as the unknowable horror in the light of the monsters eyes fades." Good roll Timmy
Very good advice!
I think a great way to get a civilian into anything warhammer-y would be to buy sheets of hex grid card, I know I've seen them in some games stores, stain them enough to look terrainy without obliterating the markings, and throw the ruler away. Playing with a ruler makes it a nerdy wargame. Counting spaces makes it a board game - and normies are comfortable with board games. And then you'll probably find that you yourself don't wanna play any other way after trying it!
Maybe you could do a terrain build with a hex grid on it! Can you find a way to add the grid yourself?
Airbrushing through a sieve, or something? 😀
Loner armies check. (got 7 armies for 40k) (2 for AoS) (got at least 3 for kill team and kan easily make more from my 40k armies)
Loner armies with big and few models (Imperial Knight) check :D
Corrupt people check, got Nurgle and Chaos :D
Make them believe, SM and Inquisition :D
Make them part of the game Machine, Necrons :D
Make them part of the Hive Mind, Tyranids :D
Yesss prince of Tzeentch... I will apply all these machinations to turn my friends into our fold.
Hey Jay u got me in to mini painting u The Best
Lol, We play exploding kittens all the time at trailer drunken nights.
I love this one!
that intro music makes me happy every time
Make sure you set expectations beforehand if you establish Exploding Kittens "game" night because you've attracted the Exploding Kittens demographics who wanted something more akin to Cards Against Humanity and not Kill Team.
i like the term civilians in this context
actually the place is a school. I mean think about it, lots of desks you can assemble to fit different battle sizes. big-ish rooms. Also it has restrooms. So schools are you best place.
This is an awesome video topic lol
I was intrested in 40k lore for a long while, one of my friends have been painting miniatures for over a year (board game/DnD minis). I wanted to try painting as well, but wanted to start cheap, so I looked up some Ork Boyz. My friend said, the 9th ed. starter set has better money-to-mini ratio, so we split the box. Then another box. Fast forward to a year later, 2 other friends already bought their first box of minis and we already had a group-painting session. I only wish we could play together more often...
How dare you slander my precious jackbox?
I love how you called those who dont play table top games civilians. Also pro tip, rootbeer is the best soda for your teeth. Less money at the dentist leads to more money for minis.
I concur with Camel Up! Such a fun game.
I'm from the country side of brazil, here we dont have a big warhammer community, but im intruducin my friends with onepage rules, and some of them are asking for me to 3d print an especifc army for them and some are buying some minis from frostgrave and painting since onepage u dont need to have specific miniatures from a specific line
Being a tabletop gamer is similar to being a Jehovah’s Witness in this respect.
If you like Malifaux download the Gaining Grounds rules. All Out Brawl has up to 8 players in a single mini deathmatch
Upvote Exploding Kittens as a warm up. I also really like "Get Bit" with the Shark and dismember-able robots.
Been doing it for years now but man you got some good ideas lol and we sometimes even do "new people" games vs each other anyway I'm front of new people to get them wanting to play then add them in and let them slay
Got 5 buddies into it they keep their armies at my house so we got a couple extra models
We got Death Guard
Necrons
White Scars
Dark Angels (yes my friend got the Lion)
And now got a buddy in getting thousand sons
*How to get people play miniatures in 4 Easy Steps*
*_Step 1:_* Host at your place, set up a lovely display board with all the models/terrain painted, and have easy simple rules references all nearby and printed out. Set it up in a room where no one will got at first.
*_Step 2:_* Invite friends around for a movie/series/video game night where you'll look at stuff related to the game material e.g. Judge Dredd for Necromunda. Make sure you only have enough drinks available so people can stay hydrated for about 80% of the movie, and mostly salty food, or food that will make people thirsty. Keep more drinks or snacks in the same room where the models and terrain are set up. Alcohol optional but recommended for step 3.
*_Step 3:_* When friends get thirsty and drinks are gone, have 1 of them go to the room. They will spot the table and tell the others when they get back. Have everyone migrate to see, then let them play with the models or take pics. Offer to play a short simple version. Ideally keep drinking here and everyone should be more interested as they just watched a movie/series/gameplay.
*_Step 4:_* This is the most *important* step. Make sure there is a device like an IPAD or laptop nearby with eBay open and some similar models searched. This can lead to drunk purchases/impulse buying of prebuilt and painted models (or anything that interest them). People are much more likely to stay invested if they spend some money.
Really good and effective plan, but might be hard to pull off in some cases :(
Great video. The points about wargames not really catering for more than two players is exactly why I'm trying to make Delta Sector a good fit for that! (My group is usually 3 people 🤣)
Can we get a video on tricking people into being your friend lol?
Costco for napkin, individual small chip bags, napkins, water, and soda. Avoid alcohol for first sessions
I never thought butter-burgers would become a catalyst for corruption
I like FLGS bathrooms because they always have icing and seasoning for free! 😋
Jay waiting for my invite to one of your game nights.
Playing at your place or at a friends place is the best ( No i have not played at a store yet but i would ) but being a adult you speak freely and smoke some pot and drink some coffee ( same room but seperate from gameing table incase of a spill ! ) I have not played many games and only won 1 game but I have always had a blast. Warhammer 40k is my favorite sci fi table top game.
My favorite party game at the moment is "Just One" it looks super kid-friendly etc but in my opinion it is not. And it can get super tricky. And you can explain that game in under a minute.
A big bag of err, how can I say this in a YT friendly way... "green stuff" 😏 usually helps for my mates 😅
Nice
Cards against humanity is a brillant party game
Hey Jay guys here!
🤣and then they see the prices of these things on the laptop and nope outta that idea right quick
“Do you find yourself on a war gaming losing streak”
“No I haven’t lost since 8e”
“….I haven’t played since 8e…”
As a long-tern collector and lore nerd of 40k who plays a game something like once every 3 years and doesn't host or visit any parties i might not be the intended audience of this guide 😅
Would love to see you check out konflikt 47!
It’s a sci fi (ish) war game set in ww2 in 1947
it's in the works! I have the Americans and Nick has the Soviets.
10:28 couple of.. beers?
< So how much does it cost?
600-1000$ per army and you have to paint assemble and paint it yourself....... Friend gives you that "are you okey stare" as in your country the avarge salary is 280$ (and 2/3 population make less then avarge) .
Kill team is pretty cheap to get in. About £50 for starter set online.
Step 0. Know your audience. You need to pick the right folks for this project to avoid that issue.
Bonus Step 0.5 - if you have a large pile of shame, incentivize with giveaway to make them want to come back. The money was a sunk cost because you bought way too much stuff, but now you’ve helped reduce the startup cost of that army.
Kill team is eeeeez for new players.
A killteam is two fire teams from your faction's section of the compendium, what's the problem?
For the average non-gamer, all the terrain rules and such add a level of complexity they’re not used to handling
@@timunderbakke8756 Yeah, jokes aside kill team is pretty complex; Jay's idea of having a combat only first game is the optimal thing to introduce non gamers to the game
So I have to prime my friends. Airbrush or rattle can? Zenithal might be a problem; I’d need a ladder for some.
Rattle can, the solvents make the mind more accepting to your influence.
“Civilian friends” 💀💀
Now to get some friends...
I like warhammer, I have a friend that like Warhammer, he also has a friend that likes Warhammer
jay maybe your problem with jackbox is that it needs more than 2 players
Personally i am mentally exhausted after one game of kill team and don't want to go again
Imagine having friends
Friends do not introduce friends to GW.
"It's Not Delivery. It's Di-sgusting." 🍕
Can we have a tutorial on how to make friends next
Thx
😅😅😅 nice! U shud bcome an advertiser jay!!!😁
Playing at a FLGS will always trump playing at home for me.
Find out if civilians are Star Wars fans, and let them try X-Wing miniatures flying one generic x-wing against your two tie fighters. After two or 3 session, try killteam
Wait, people actually like Exploding Kittens?
To get your friends into Warhammer. I usually reference my friends personalities or actions to something or someone in Warhammer and then they ask for you to explain. Overtime they slowly learn about Warhammer and get invested
love the video, love the ideas presented, don't love the expression "Nitty gritty" lets eliminate that from our collected lexicon. Nuts and bolts or brass tacks are better phrases that dont reference slavery.
As a card and board game geek that paints and plays killteam grab the imploding expansion for exploding kittens and for real CHECK OUT COUP it's a 13 dollar game I play on a semi daily basis and the expansion is not to be ignored either
hoodwinking a "civilian" into wargaming lmao
Day 22 of asking for a Centurion Squad magnetization and green stuff conversion video.
Once the video is made, I’ll become a top tier Patreon to get my name on the sergeant of the squad.
Hi
Babe wake up EOB just posted!
This is assuming i have friends 😂😂😂
Jackbox has like 2 good games & a bunch of mediocre filler. I really love Quiplash & Champ'd Up and will always be down to play either of those. Overall, Jay's right about Jackbox.
not liking jackbox is an interesting take, then turning around and saying exploding kittens is better? terrible
I thought the exact same thing 😂
Too much of a lone wolf for such things and of course time, but may everyone’s strategies result in better gaming sessions.
Just wear a diaper.
its social their for ots same as 40k is t(e worst reason of why two games shoulds be linked thats like saying chess and tag should be conected because they involve people face to face
40k is a wargame the things u mentioned are board games your parents force u to play as a family as a kid
comparing high thinking ti low thinking board games is really dumb
So they would waste their lifesavings for plastic soldiers? Yeah, sure.
Not in my group. We’ve got a multi-printer guy who can just go brrrr and poof, new army. He’s gotten me over 500 points of Tzeentchy daemons for maybe $50.
@@timunderbakke8756 EOB already told his thoughts about "stealing intellectual property".
@@MrArgenius it’s not stealing if you are not printing GW models. Mine came from OnePageRules. Nobody said I had to buy and own GW models to play with GW rules 🤷♂️
I don't care about bored games, yes I meant to spell it that way😂 go back to painting vids
I don't have any stores around. Don't know where to find people to learn and to play.
