#warhammer40k #miniatures #gamesworkshop - Jak na to + styl
Ooh, very succinct 'How' this week. Nice one. 7.5/10
Very strong rating I was thinking it was around a 7.6/10 given the camera zoom bumping it up a little
Love the new channel icon! Also would love to see a compilation of Hows for episode 100!
I absolutely expect this and be very disappointed if it doesn't happen.
Ooh, didn't notice until you mentioned it :D
Looks good!
Just as an FYI, the clone officer in blue is Captain Rex.
Glad I wasn't the only one that noticed, was doubting myself for a quick sec.
And one of the "generic Mandalorians" is Jango.
@@tophholland Incorrect, Jango is in the set with Dooku. The leader of the group of mandos on the bad guy side is Gar Saxon.
I own a hobby store and GW is the worst. They ship late, run out of Pre orders even on the day you’re allowed to place them, ship about 50% of the paints you order and more.
It’s like their determined to lose their empire.
Where is your hobby shop and what is it called
@@bagel_guy9495 this came off as very threatening lol
Wait, why do I feel like I know a Derek....
They want you to be "unreliable" to push people to their stores / webstore, and I don't see what about your post was 'threatening' 🤣 best of luck to you 🙂
All the local game stores I buy from are always like "yeahh we don't know when or what or how or why anything we get it coming" all the time lmao
If they release a kid pack it definitely needs to be called the “Even the younglings squad” 😂
The Younglings would be a hilarious model for a star ward game
@@dariusfafoutakis8021 it’s a board game and the goal is to hide from Vader. Development over 😂😂😂
Edit: this was entirely a joke, but a Betrayal at House on the Hill but Star Wars sounds like it would rock. And allow options other than hiding from Ani
Def need 100 "How"s for episode 100. Keep up the amazing content. Fantastic channel
i agree
I really hope to see the Blackstone Fortress crusader get a solo release some day. Those resin sculpts need to go.
I'm surprised they haven't repackaged the Ambull for Necromunda.
There are rules for it for the game, so it'd be a pretty easy win to just make it a model for that.
I'm hoping for this myself. Fingers crossed...
It's called twice the pride from his ep3 quote "twice the pride, double the fall"
That is the second miniature they bring back from the combat arena box. The technoarcheologist was also from that box. I am happy that I find combat arena a while ago for a cheap price on ebay.
Appreciate the hard work Jay
new EOB icon is awesome
Love the new icon and another great video!
Love your informal style.
Personally, I'd be willing to start a guard army with that alternate sculpt commisar. He just looks so intense, and I love it.
Love the new channel icon!
the Primaris Psyker miniature is in the Mobile game Tacticus as one of the Astra Militarum characters :)
I honestly think a lot of people don't realise you can get GW stuff from third party retailers at a discount. It's honestly bizarre seeing people pay more than FLGS prices for GW kits on eBay for example.
One very weird thing is I looked at ebay and most kroot boxes are way more expensive then GW has them
In the states, every retailer I've seen has the same 15% discount the GW stores and Amazon offer...
Even at Ebay prices they are still expensive for most of their range. I just buy premium STLs and 3D print most stuff now. For example the primarchs on cults3D are even better than the ones forge world sells and for like 10-20% of the cost for the resin and cost of the STL combined.
@Red Dragon that also gives the edge that lets you have multiple of them so if you want to do something wacky with them, or a freind wants one everyone wins except the company that is doing daylight robbery in prices
I guess with eBay there's two potential factors - global shipping program and free shipping. On some single kits if there's free shipping then a £30 kit works out the same as a £26 kit from FLGS once you factor in a £4 shipping charge. And with Global Shipping sometimes the price markup in some countries is so high that even with shipping and customs charges it's cheaper to import, especially from the UK.
I sold a ton of Imperium magazines at a tidy profit to Americans because of that, as well as some Age of Darkness and Votann stuff.
The Maggot Type Creatures at the Ambull remind me of the Sandcreatures from Wrath of Khan (Star Trek Film).
Artisan Guild has an Umber Hulk model that would work great as a Ambull proxy.
That commisar's magsafe power sword connector confirms that the Imperium is actually just Apple in the 41st millennium
"three generic Mandalorians" *cries in Gar Saxon*
That scarf thing around the commissar's waist is called a "sash"
man the new profile picture looks chrisp! i love it
Love the new logo nicks orks and your necrons
Well in clone wars young boba fett did infiltrate the jedi temple at one point so a young bobba with padawans would work well
aside from the powersword in the rock, that is by far my favorite commissar they have made.
I'm really excited for Shatterpoint. The price may seem steep, but value-wise it's right on par or even slightly better than Marvel Crisis Protocol. I definitely appreciate how AMG designs their core box to give you a complete experience, rather than the watered down demos like the Legion, X-wing, and Armada core boxes give.
Also, Legion players who primarily play Rebels and Imps have it rough when it comes to PVC vs sprues. They switched exclusively to sprues shortly after the clone wars era stuff came out, and there hasn't been a ton of original trilogy content since then, so those players are primarily stuck with sub-par minis.
Absolutely epic stuff
I like the new logo guys!
I’d like that exclusive commissar, but after hearing about how they’ve sold out of the exclusive minis at previous events, I certainly wouldn’t go to an event planning on getting one.
I've had the old primaris psyker on my to buy list for ages and never noticed it went away. Goddammit
the gonk Droid is worth it for the Star Wars terrain!
One of the mandos with maul is Gar Saxon the pointy head one
GW's preorders are just so they can have a week to get everythingpacked ready to ship for release date. Like you said, doesn't guarantee you a copy, but means that there isn't a big time disparity between those receiving them.
And here I thought you’d be talking about the new Legion “special operations” kill team gamemode, maybe next week!
problem with preorders is for sure the scalpers. i hadnt had the money on christmas cause my boss was slow with sending me my money, as soon as i had it i wasnt able to pick up any of the christmas boxes anywhere anymore. sucks. this would have been a chance to finish my adeptus, get my space marines a decorative knight squad and finish my deathguard.
I think Padawan Ashoka is for those people that are buying all of these minis to be able to do lore and era accurate narrative games
I'm with you on PVC plastic. It sucks, it sucks to paint, but once you paint them they're fine. So, on one hand, I'll nope out of a game if the minis are too bad, but on the other hand I've painted the core Aristeia set and cursed the PVC as being right on the edge of what I'd accept, but now that I've painted it that memory fades.
I guess I got lucky. I picked up that Primaris Psyker on Ebay a couple of years back for only $17.32 (including tax and shipping).
and as for the Shatterpoint expansions, $50 for 4 figures is only $12.50 each so it's really not that bad.
Also, we do want all the Ahsoka Tano mini's.
I learned to always preorder on eBay
Bro 😂 not Commander Cody it’s the better leader Captain Rex (first time). Anyway it seems interesting I might have to pick it up. Also the ground terrain is worth it… GNK droid
Is there seriously a Star Wars character named Commander Cody? lol
@@jack-a-lopium yeah it’s the leader of those clone troopers with yellow markings in the same pack as Obi Wan
@@DestructoDino I mean, I get the reference... but it just sounds silly. If they changed the first name, they coulda just *slightly* changed the second.
Ahh well, whadda I know, I don't know anythnig about Star Warz.
What's your thoughts on the new Legion "killteam" esc rules??
"Twice the pride" is a reference to Dooku jesting at Anakin in their second duel: "Twice the pride, twice the fall." He just doesn't know he's talking about himself yet.
Well..i..Do! gets me every time
I love the idea of Shatterpoint, but I really think its weird they didn't use the same scale as Legion, in order to push it as a gateway game.
Doubly so, now that AMG have announced the alpha rules for Legion Skirmish rules (Specialist Operations, IIRC).
Weird to split the market like that...
Fresh Jay!
I would absolutely buy a 2 or 3 pack of Ambulls!
Ezra Bridger totally reminds me of Jay.
the new banner and profile pic, looking fucking mint! 👌
The Barbarian has an alternate head that makes him look like Kratos... GW know what they are doing in this case.
Lol, I got that primaris psyker for like $15 a year ago
Padawan asohka is probably because they know they will get the same crowd who make lego panaramas their will be people who want to replicate a specific battle in the clone wars and having a oadawan version of asohka is needed for that
Shatterpoint is most definitely a star wars version of Marvel Crisis, which I believe has been pretty popular for them so far as a skirmish game. It's much more "hero" based then Legion is, where Jedi basically have to be played extremely carefully or they will just evaporate. XD Though the advantage of them is that the models are much bigger and thus from a painterly perspective it's possible to do much more with them, especially the Sith which in my opinion are usually the most boring models to paint; it's pretty hard to paint Maul without radically changing his paint scheme to be more presentable.
close to 99!
2 more to go!
Clone wars i like that they made some clones as main characters and ashokas cool
I usually don't pre-order stuff, but I pre-ordered the Escher Cutters. Then they didn't even bother to pack them up and ship them until 8 days *after* the alleged release date. WTF am I even pre-ordering for?
Also, when the heck are they going to release the Squats Exo-driller suit for Necromunda? They "pre-previewed" that thing months ago.
"and then you can recreate the order 66 scene"
jay, NO
i am not ashamed that i laughed at this.
Where can I buy tickets to be in the audience? Add a link to the description please.
Your tablet is upside down 😂
Disagree about the commissar. Just due to dimensions the new ones are so much better. Like this upright, tall and inspiring model.
Asmodee used the hard plastic as an excuse to charge more for every expansion, including old PVC ones, it kinda sucks
I admit, the Shatterpoint box art kind of seems Genndy Tartakovsky Clone Wars inspired to me.
And man, did they look at the Star Wars memes and decide they'd make good set names?
Commander who now? That’s Rex
I find it funny I bought the wasteland warfare starter set like 2 years ago but only started painting them in the last few days. Only now are people saying the figures in it suck XD.
So you're saying the commissar is playing "pull my finger" with the guard?
Man that whole fiasco with Shadowvaults is going to be my biggest gripe with GW. But I agree in that case where preorders don't really make sense.
padawan ahsoka will be a sidekick instead of a commander
THAT IS CAPTAIN REX NOT COMANDER CODY!!!!!!!!! 11:35
Did you ever review eterel crusade?
Sorry I can't accept the hat shrinkage of the commisars' hats? Is it an Imperium Logistics' issue? Not enough hat material to go around? Make Comissars' hat big again, aka #MCHBA!
As a hobbyist no player I kinda wish that there was a Commissar + Commissar Cadet squad set.
Commissar Cadet you say? Sounds like a Schola Progenia senior student which that have never done any of them in mini. But I would love it if they did. It’s where a ton of non Astartes commissioned officers come from. As well as inquisitors and some other things.
I really wasnt sold on that new star wars game… the different scale really registered as a cash grab to me and clone wars CIS isnt my jam… but with the mix and match plus this video… I think I’ll have to buy everythin… damn
If someone is looking for an obscure GW item that a majority of local Games store probably wouldn't think to sell I could understand why someone would flock to GW. I've done it several times. Also pretty interested in Shatterpoint. Iv largely stayed away from Legion due to having some much SW merchandise but shatterpoint might not be too bad
The only thing I ever pre order is wow expansions so I can play the game at launch. Literally the only thing I'll pre order because I know I'm gonna play wow either way
Do you ever sell your and how do you recommend I get into painting warhammer 40k
What you mean you’re not gonna pre-order the “Now this is podracing” or “Wizard” expansion packs?
The new commissars look like commissar juniors.
When I think commissar I think big coat, tassels, BIG HAT, stern and grizzled faces.
They have baby hats, trench coat on one is so tightly wrapped he must be off Duty.
The exclusive one looks okay, second one looks totally meh, classic one looks great.
Yas Queen! Say no to pre-orders! Also, say no to AMG introducing a new scale just to make us rebuy our models, but mostly no to pre-orders.
"Maybe this is too dark."
Maybe.
We need a hando model
I love Rebels. I recommend a trying again - Ezra starts annoying but he definitely becomes less annoying as the show progresses. That’s his arc. Rebels has some of the best Star Wars moments ever. I love it, even more than Clone Wars.
If star wars had a common usage of heresy you would be a HERITIC
Ezra gets slightly less annoying, but he's slightly less obnoxious about halfway through there are some decent moments, but for everything they do right they do way more wrong, like when we see hondo again, instead of being at least a gang leader of what few of his boys were able to survive under the empire he's just a fat old guy, who wants to steal stuff and doesn't have a lot of his original charm,
For episode 100, can you get a real, live-studio audience to film in front of?!
I find that old plastic commissar so ugly 😅 great for bits though
yea I agree the new commisars look kinda less cool, so I just picked up the Severina model and I'm gonna run her as a commisar
Is Ventress a Genndy design?
He kinda looks like Denzel Washington too lol
Star Wars Laugh-N-Point mwahahahaha...
I love Rebels! Any thoughts on the new Malifaux Gremlins?
I still don't see the 1lb kill team.
Jeez that new star wars game is way too pricey 😳
Waiting for the "Best and Worst Scenery/Terrain from GW" video.
two phase 2 clones and commander codie no thats rex. codie is with kenobi and rex is with anikin
Except for Kill Team boxes.. if you don’t get those on pre-order, you aren’t getting them!
dont they still release the individual kill teams on their own later?
Anyone notice he said commander Cody and not captain Rex?
"How much of that $75 am I paying for some rocks?"
Probably at least 30 of it is just for the 'privilege' of having the word Disney printed on the box.
Yeah fallout starter mini sucked af was absooutly crap to paint lol and separate packs are superb quality
11:38 thats rex not cody
Commander Cody = captain Rex
