I cant figure out if this is either a video talking about how cool warhammer is or just a way to roast league more😂
why not both
Yes
Not gonna lie back when you said you weren’t doing more spotlights I was scared if I could see how it would turn out bro I woulda threw a box of tyrinids at you sooner. Content is great please don’t stop I need you.
(;_:)
It's amazing how far Magikarp has come with this! And how much happier and healthier he looks, no more dark circles under his eyes and sunken shoulders!
NO! NO! NO! Many people say I am sick in the head. NOOOO!!!! I don't believe them. But there are so many people commenting this stuff on my videos, that I have 1% doubt. So I have to ask you right now: Do you think I am sick in the head? Thanks for helping, my dear aron
yo wtf?
That thumbnail begs to differ on the “looks healthier” bit
@@AxxLAfriku idk how your channel hasn't been deleted
I'm so glad that you're here and (mostly) having fun! :-) PS love that camera just hanging from the ceiling tiles, baller.
Love your painting vids goob!
Dude you seemly literally so much more happy compared from when you were making content for league. No lie, I am so happy I stuck around to see your content become so much more focused on Warhammer so that I can continue enjoying what you make.
Great vid dude, hope you're well x
When it comes to pricing, I always work in "hours of fun per £/$". I bought Abaddon for example, £37.50 for a 50 grams of plastic but i spent 100 hours painting him and then countless more playing him all of which were immensely satisfying. I even spend loads of time on my basic spod CSM's and give them daft names.
As for the books the new subscription may be worth it if this is a main hobby, although, i love the feel of owning a book and reading all the material.
Ultimately, it's definitely an expensive hobby but you can take it step by step and it gives you something other hobbies can't.
PS. in terms of not having complete weapon options, i think that is to increase variety used in the game and limit overuse of specific tactics. Reaper chain cannons for example, you get 1 for 5 Havocs because it's a beaassst of a gun.
I'm so happy for Mat. He found his passion and has so much fun. He doesn't look tired like before. But it's a bit sad for me because I absolutely can't get in strategy games like Warhammer. I want him to continue with it since I want the best for him. But it hurts how whenever I come to this channel and see how little he has posted I realize I have lost one of my favourire channels. Anyway really glad for you Mat.
try table top simulator. the barrier for entry is a lot lower.
Or is big strategy games are too daunting there are smaller games like warcry and kill team, both of which are great.
I'm literally crying... I missed Matt so much this chanel has got me through some tough times. You duh best Matt Castro!
It has been a joy to see your growth over the year with Warhammer, since that first documentary and then all the battle reports, sit down and talks about Warhammer armies. You guys have been a boon to the hobby and I am looking forward to another year of Warhammer content from you all.
The social aspect of the hobby is probably one of the most underrated things about becoming involved in a local gaming group!
Holy shit I had no idea that you had a channel like this, definitely checking it out! I should probably come back to Warhammer aswell, I have like 4 models I haven't painted science 2019.
"the lore is so vast, that you can get ingulfed without playing tha game at all..." Matt, how do you know what i do in my spare time ?
You're the one who got me into 40k, and war gaming in general. Thank you so much for the introduction to this hobby, but also I hate you for causing me to spend so much money lol
From 11:00 on where you are talking about the "Hates", is the main reason why I've only stuck with 2 armies, Necron and Space Marine... and probably the main reason why I'm not 100% sold on wanting to delve deeper into this hobby besides the two armies I've got the free rules one can find on the net.
I don't play warhammer anymore and I most likely never will, but I'll always watch your videos for the passion and entertainment. ❤️
I just found this series like 2 months ago and to add to enjoying the hobby even when you're not playing: I've been painting warhammer and minis for 8 months and I've NEVER played a game. I have a 2000+ Black templar army that I don't play
You got me into warhammer.
I started by watching your "journey to warhammer" videos, then kind of forgot about it when the lockdown started. Cut to early summer and I remembered Magikarp was getting into 40k with Bricky, so I looked around and found dicecheck. Now I'm like 3000 points deep into the game, have made some great friends, and learned that I love painting.
Not gonna lie, this hobby sounds like your most effective antidepressant. I’m really glad to see that you’re finally doing better and doing something that you genuinely love to do. I may not know jack shit about 40k, I just tuned in to see how my favorite karp boi was doing. And it seems like you’re doing better than ever, since you quit League. Idk, it’s just nice to see, especially when you have been depressed during most of the time I have known you. Stay strong.
5:40 what the jesus fuck, that is SO GOOD. Legitimately might be the best Warhammer model I've ever seen painted.
I actually can't get back into Warhammer having seen this model, knowing I will never, EVER paint to the standard I want to paint to. Because THIS is my new standard.
Boils down to
Pros:the actual game and models
Cons: The shit GW pulls
I felt very similarly about gundam model kits, which I also got into this year. Not only was it a really relaxing hobby to do with your hands, but it also allowed me to get into an artistic side of myself with painting. I had never really done anything art related in my life, and it so much more satisfying than playing an online game.
My pet peeve with Warhammer is that the space marine packs only have ultramarine transfers, meaning if you collect ANY other chapter, you need to buy an extra transfer sheet. What makes this more annoying is that they used to include a transfer sheet with all the major chapters, but I think in 8th edition they changed it to just ultrasmurfs for no apparent reason
Man. Giving me flashbacks of the cafe opening. I was there around 8am and got out of the store around 7pm with a few things and some sunburns for the trouble. Any transparancy would have been cool. I remeber just getting back to my apartment and passing out until around noon Sunday.
The Mechanicus OST usage around 5:00 was great thanks for that
The fact that the rules aren't just an update to a website is the reason I'll never play this game.
Battlescribe is your answer to that. If they dont have something, 40k youtubers like auspex tactics will. All for free and majority of 40k players do this
Amen brudduh. Infinity got rules for free son.
And Wahapedia, actually dice check made a video for new players and how to get started!
I actually bought some models just to paint them cause I think they looked cool, but I swear I'll never get a book of rules that will only be useful for a couple years or less
@@carcionpetto it our age of internet, that would be not wise. I mean you wanna look up fast the rules during a game not search a minor detail in a 300 page rule book?! That's why wahapedia is superior
Been constantly watching this video. Just relate alot and your first Warhammer documentary vid was what caused me finally get into the game and hobby. No regrets and now slowly getting friends addicted. Thank you for not only the great quality content, but for giving me the motivation to dive into the unknown and finding a hobby I now love
It’s thanks to the original videos that I got into Warhammer in the first place. The aspect of gaming but with something physical and tangible with friends who represent themselves entirely to their own likes in a game drew me in and got me into the hours of sitting down building and painting little plastic guys. I can whole heartedly agree that the positives outweigh the negatives, and that Warhammer is such a great, geeky, but always interesting hobby to be into and I thank DiceCheck and many other CZcamsrs for keeping me interested.
Been following you since your league videos. You definitely sound like you found something worth your time brother! I too got into warhammer around 2019!
Really cool! I'm currently working on my Necron army after a 4 year hiatus
I know it's an older video of yours , and you have moved on to your new channel, but man , what you talk about here is spot on true! I never really put it all together nor compared video gaming to table top or miniature hobby.
Top 3 things I love about Warhammer (AOS and 40k) as a viewer (not played a single match of the Tabletop since it's not _that_ famous in Germany, at least not in my reign):
-The live battle reports. It's so damn interesting to see new tactics, new armies, new maps, learning all the moves and crossing fingers when the dice getting rolled
-The books. My god, I've read so many books, Ciaphas Cain, Gaunts Ghosts, even Warhammer horror like Dark Harvest. I love love love the books!!
-The community. As Matt already explained, the community is just so wholesome, everyone is there to help and answer any question, no matter how stupid it sounds for Warhammer "veterans" :D
Glad Matt brought me to Warhammer😊
The Emperor protects!
Man I just love seeing Matt happy again. Glad you're feeling better man, you look great!
It's pretty amazing how many people and content creators made this great shift into Warhammer at the beginning of COVID. I was one of them and it's weird to say but it's improved my life in a lot of ways and allowed me to achieve a lot of goals in life I didn't even know I had. I'm glad to see a game that has such an unfortunate stigma surrounding it is such a generally friendly and welcoming place. I don't know your pre-Warhammer content, but I went down a rabbit hole and watched a lot of your Warhammer stuff today and the enthusiasm, joy, and love the game's given you is clear as day. Keep having fun, man!
To be honest I just missed you Mat. To be honest you really manage to be persuasive and fun to just listen to. Thank you for the video man. I hope more fun games await your future.
Hi, Matt, I am really happy you found something you enjoy making content about. You were a massive reason for me to finally get into Warhammer. Had been eying it for a long time and read some books. Just the enthusiasm and joy you displayed were great. Hope the content stays for a long time and Dice Check gets even bigger.
yo, Mad Props on your painting progress within a year!!!! True Accomplishment! As a lifelong artist of many, many mixed media. I am Truly impressed and Inspired by watching your progression and mastery of skill, Achieved.
Is so cool to see you talking about something so passionately
Glad you are enjoying the hobby so much! Been following this journey since it's inception. As someone who has primarily played Horus Heresy for the last decade or so your ramblings on FW are dead on......the QC has only gone downhill in recent years (likely due to switching to CAD sculpts) and not to mention THE GOD DAMN RELEASE CYCLE. And some of the kits are just an awful building experience regardless of if some of the major pieces are warped or not, the dreaded storm eagle / fire raptor kits as a prime example, the dual plastic / resin combination was sent from the bowels of hell itself. Its enough to drive a man insane.
“The pricing for this game can be pretty hefty”.
Yup

R.i.p.
Your story about opening day was hilarious.
Our towns had a mass shooter on our opening day.
Loved your old content but stopped playing league. Now I just got into AOS later in my life and I’m glad that you’re still here friend :)
Nice ! I have a cameo in this video “pro player “ you are too kind ! Always love the videos this one was a great topic and I agree with what you said !
I loved seeing all of your miniatures, you've improved by leaps and bounds with the painting and its really inspiring to see!
Its so heartwarming hearing about passing stuff to your kids
This channel is hype. Been watching since forever
You have no idea how close it hits me. I'm totally new in WH (started playing literally few months ago but i'm in universe for YEARS now through my brother, i studied lore since i was like 9) but i love it. All things you said about acomplishment that you didn't get in video games, making rosters before sleep etc hits so close to home for me that it almost went awkward. I'm collecting a Grey Knights army, have around 1000 points in models by now unpainted which isn't much but it's definitly a start. I'll try to paint my very first models soon enough and i'm really excited about it. I just wanted to share that. This video hits so close to home for me that it's incredible. Especially when i think about that I started watching you years ago because of LoL (in which i was a b*tch haha) and you were quickly my fav LoL youtuber out there (i remeber watching your playlist for like a whole night few times) and that year ago you started to make WH content where I went like "NO WAY, YOU GONNA MAKE WH NOW?!" and was so happy about it. And it's a nice feeling that you know, your some kind of favourite or very likeable "public person" is doing something that you are totally relatable to. Made me smile ;D Thanks for that.
From a person who only tipped into the TTRPG side of 40k that lore is ..... WOW. Had friends in college who played the war game side and hearing how much armies/minis and paint were I was shocked. I enjoy hearing them talk about it and yeah 40k people are chill about new people asking questions about armies, lore, important people in that world. Glad you are enjoying a great new hobby.
I've never played or seen anything of Warhammer personally but I'm happy you've finally found something you're passionate about. Keep up the great work :)
Matt, I love and all that you've posted. So I think that I'm allowed to say that your progression this last year is truly reflecting in your beautiful hair lining in this video. jokes aside, I'm happy for you and your friends. keep up the great content man.
Dude i love dice check videos but you just rock these sort of videos so well! Loved it and look forward to more in the future.
Fuck yes mate. Thank you for this video and all the work you do
Your painting has come along leaps and bounds! Even the model you used as an example of your Tyranids is a lot neater than your first models. Also: that Colourshift Greater Daemon looks sublime.
Matt, you are so freaking great! Seeing you relieved and enjoying your hobbies brings us so much joy
Dude it is like crazy cool watching all these old league youtubers(you, bricky, uberdanger) moving on to other passions and hobbies and having as good if not better content and to see you guys happy making this other content.
3:39 At Ease Games! Loved going there when I was stationed right across the street at the air station. Good people run that place. Glad to see they’re doing well even through COVID
A buddy of mine got sunburnt in line at the cafe grand opening. Fun times.
This series is always a banger
I rarely ever play the game anymore, I just love reading the lore, its been something that has been a part of my life for over 20 years now.
So glad you guys got into 40K. I love watching the content you guys produce.
So what I'm hearing, is the game is great, it's fantastic, and the community is great, GW is the problem. Me and my group of AoS players recently found that this was true. We think we might as a group invest into resin printer for us to use and enjoy so we can keep playing the game we love, without going broke constantly.
Man, just dropped by to say, that you are the reason I got into warhammer, after watching the first episode of Road to warhammer, I bought my first Tau box. Thank you so much for getting me into this game!
Because of this channel I started to become interested in kill team.
Keep up the good work.
I dont play Wahmmer
I dont know what they are doing
But I still like it
Yep thats me since day one. Maybe im buying one model but im afraid of the painting
I always take a little break from Warhams but then I see someone talk about how good it is and I'm straight back in. Working on some Stormcast Praetors at the moment, really cool sculpt.
Glad to have you and your buddies in the hobby 🙂 absolutely love seeing your progress 😁🤘
Yeah, talking about the box options not supporting the build options, I feel your pain. For a while, as a Tau player, a big unit of 9 Crisis Suits with 3 Cyclic Ion Blasters on each was top end. Unfortunately, the only GW source for CIBs, is from the $55 Tau Commander kit, and you only get 1 per box.
Nice video! I was there at the line for the warhammer cafe opening, and can confirm it was every bit the nightmare he described it as, except I was EVEN FURTHER BACK IN LINE. Least to say, it was awful, stood in line for 5 hours, never made it in, went home with sunburns, and haven't been back since lol.
"Not a lot of people hate the game"
"The game is somewhat balanced"
Have you signed the NDA?...
Excellent video. With reference to the packaging, AOS has been doing a very good job at only making unit sizes and options which are actually in the box. It wasn't always that way, but it has never been as bad as 40K.
"...can't blame anything but myself." *looks at dice*
I really think this video does a great job highlighting how friendly the majority of people involved in this hobby are. One of my favorite experiences was when I went to my LGS to pick up a repulser and ended up had a chat with a guy I'd never met for over an hour about the various Horus heresy lore and our favorite space marine chapters
The burger tax hurts
i went to the grand opening for a Warhammer store with only 1 register and waited in lines for a total of like 4 hours... i think they didnt expect large followings in certain areas
Last 2000 pt game was against new orks. My coworker rolled nothing but 6s on his turn 1 advance and was in melee against my necrons before I could have a turn. Good times.
In regards to the packaging thing, I bought a box of berzerkers a while ago (for use in a world eaters army), the box came with transfers, which I was hyped about. Turns out it had transfers for EVERY OTHER CHAOS SPACE MARINES SUBFACTION BUT world eaters. THEY'RE BERZERKERS FFS WHY
I remember watching your first 40k video and waiting forever for the second one. Feels like a decade has passed since then. Turns out it was only a year....
That magiecarp Titan really threw me of the chair
You discovered the difference between a hobby & an addiction.
Good on ya man.
7:47 ayyyyyy Octopath main theme! Nice!
i just recently got into 40k myself, used to play a little as a kid but never had enough money to really get into it. now as a 30 year old man i'm having the time of my life with warhammer, everyone i've spoken to about it is super chill, one of the best communites i've been part of.
My dude! I'm so glad that you are still uploading videos! Your movies are like, the best to watch thing, when I have a rough day. You should make more movies about yourself, like "Stupidest video I ever made" or "The worst party". Thanks for your hard work, and keep on bringin smile on our faces ❤️
Boxes not having all the weapons options is also one of my pet peeves, and I like kitbashing and buying bits. I've had great experiences with Bitzbox, Bitzstore, and Bits and Kits.
Always a pleasure to see some content from one of the most genuine creators. Keep up the great work!
This series is always an insta-click
Correction litterrally everyone labeled magikarpusedfly is
Like several youtubers who rarely upload on there main channel
Like dunkey
Like Technoblade
Like . . . . . . . .
Oh boy. Have you ever heard of cyclic ion blasters, one of the best guns in the entire tau codex. Each crisis suit can be equipped with 3 and the commander can be equipped with 4 however the crisis suit box doesn't come with a single one and the commander box only comes with one
To be fair, that is a relic from when Cyclic Ion blasters were basically a special issue wargear exclusively for commanders and exclusively one, The 8th edition book just went nuts with them.
Im so happy your doing something you love :)
-Things i love about warhammer: the lore
-Things i hate about warhammer: the lore
Thinking about your hobby even when not playing is smth I do in Cardgames (lor atm). Sometimes I would wake up in the night with a cool idea, make some notes on a piece of paper and just try it out the next day
Don't know anything about war hammer, but this was really pleasant to watch. Felt like I was listening to a friend rave about their hobby.
Geez bro, and here I've spent the last 6 years just trying to finish painting my models lol
The store opening seems to be a local problem. Our local store had a reopening due to a move. There was a staff member from another store who’d been brought in to solely run up and down the line, let people know what stock levels were and that everyone was OK.
2 hour wait, numbers limited inside for Covid safety, ten minutes for the cash register once I’d picked up what I wanted.
Enough stock for me to grab limited stuff for all my friends who’d asked me to get things for them.
They can and do manage to get store openings right, seems to be a problem for that store or region…
Sad that dice check has ended
When Adeptus Glatorius gets to the Age of Apostacy I am going to reference Doge Vandire.
I think as an OG Warhammer fan where I have a divide with Matt is that he's really seeing this thing come together after years of this company really messing up. I could regale him with tales of GW's countless missteps over the years. What you're seeing today is the end result of decades of problems the company had. Flashback ten years and you'd have League level complaints. That being said it's nice to see that GW has gotten a bit better over the years. Their fan policies though are still complete ass. They're really, REALLY, aggressive against fan artists and content creators. But yeah it's nice to see that the game is well balanced and in a good place.
I'm also glad to see that you're really enjoying the content you're doing now. For a long time it really seemed like you took no joy in your content so to see and hear the enthusiasm is nice.
You can blame the Chapterhouse lawsuit for screwing GW's tetriary policies right up the ass, I don't agree with what GW does, but it is understandable.
Not only are the tyranid warriors expensive, but if you want to run warriors with a prime you gotta buy 2 boxes because you have to have 3 warriors per unit
Everytime i see this video and see how long this journey was, i can't just feel nothing but pride!!!
Waiting for "The People of Warhammer" episode as you reach out to other content creators or general fans.
While I'm not really into warhammer (outside the lore) I'm so happy that Matt has gotten a hobby that he finds creatively fulfilling
The first point you made about the in person community, and the 1v1 aspect where the only one you can blame is yourself, are also reasons why I love fighting games.
