The garbage tier league players would never invest into 40k

I’d add something else: if buying used models, there’s a safe way to remove the paint with water based nail polish remover (NOT alcohol based; that will melt the plastic). After that, you’re free to repaint the models. Ezpz, cheap models for your armies. Edit: Some comments have pointed out that the problem isn't alcohol but acetone in the solution. ACETONE will melt te plastic, careful!

If there is one single trick I can spread to everyone out there, it's that Dettol can be used to safely remove paint from plastic and resin miniatures, it's super gentle on the model, just needs about a 15 minute soak and some light brushing with a toothbrush or something followed by a good wash to remove the smell of Dettol.

Whoa goobertown hobbies what are YOU doing here

I recently started playing 40k. For the time i stick to second hand models, preferably pre painted so i can start playing with a somewhat good looking army. I'm almost at 100€ spent with some lucky shots(like some broadsides for under 12€ each) and i can easily get to 1300 points. It's a great hobby and although the rules at first seem intimidating i already felt comfortable playing during my second session. I would recommend Wargames like 40k to anyone keen on strategy games as the nature of tabletop games offers so much choice and place for originality. The social component is also something i really like.

Damn I was just watching ur ap Warwick vid, and this masterpiece of a notification showed up

It's 4 am and I couldn't sleep because I felt like I missing out on something, can't believe it was this fuckwad's video Love your Warhammer series btw, keep it up Matt!

Ryan Cunningham honestly it was the Transuranic Arquebus on the start collecting box that spoke to me, In the world of mo dakka I had no idea precision existed. It does help that they have all the big guns though....

I got to your channel because of your Warhammer video. I recently started mini painting and I've always wanted to play Warhammer, so I'm glad for your videos and I can't wait for the next!

When you go to buy models don’t go to an actual games workshop. It’s almost always cheaper to buy from third party hobby shops.

For buying models I highly suggest the "Buy Sell and Swap" Facebook groups. There you can find models in various stages of use for dirt cheap prices because people often have leftovers. You might not find what you need immediately, but there are new posts/listings so if you're patient you can find a really great deal on what you want. I recently got 3 Death Guard HQ's and a squad of Plague Marines for only $15. "Warhammer Buy Sell and Swap" for the UK "Warhammer Australia Buy Swap Sell" for Australia "BUY SELL TRADE Warhammer 40k" and a lot more if you look them up. Always pay with Paypal though and don't be afraid to ask for more pictures to make sure you're getting what you want. Also if you ever see these acronyms on a listing and wonder what they mean NIB - New in Box (Brand new, still in the original box it was sold in) NOS - New on Sprue (The models are still on the plastic frame but are unpainted, just lacking a box) OOP - Out of Production (This means the model is from an older set/run and is no longer sold by Games Workshop) Assembled - The model is built so you don't have to do it. But that also means you don't have the chance to customise/pose it how you want. They're typically a lot cheaper than NIB/NOS tho Primed - Assembled and just has a coat or two of spray paint.

Honestly mate, never heard of you before your 40k videos but they are EXACTLY what I was looking for, really looking forward to following your 40k journey. So glad I subscribed.

Most Warhammer channels over 10k subs have deals with GW that make them unable to say such things, you are really helping people out. That's a really big deal, thanks for spreading the hobby! I'm here with you since 2014 and have like 5 years of experience with Warhammer, never thought one of my fav yt channels and my fav hobby would combine. I'm super happy they did! Welcome aboard (again) and I hope you have a lot of fun with the game!

Guys, for the books just know there is a TROVE of knowledge for this. You know a TROVE!!

I always knew about table top simulator, but I never would have thought of playing war hammer on it. I'd absolutely love to get into the real thing but I don't really have the money to spend, even if I was buying as budget as possible. Before this video I thought I'd only be able to watch them play war hammer but now I can at least try by playing online. Thanks Matt

Great video oh now to get into the 40k! I definitely suggest table top simulator I play with my brother on it from across the country. The actual table top game is a lot more fun for us though, because the battles take so long it basically turns into an all day potluck, five or so of my buddies and bro together with drinks, snacks, talking about lore, games, marvel, rl shit, tactics, always ends with a BBQ for dinner.

nice to see your journey into the hobby....and those where really good advises

Sup. Kitbashing is a great way to cut some money.

Anyway, great video dude. Got me very excited seein you getting into 40k. Cheers.

Never played one of these games before, I mean like tabletop army games. But I've always been interested in both DnD and games like 40k but never got into it, mostly because I don't know how to get into it. So seeing you do just that is really fun and interesting, and I'm happy to follow you on this journey!

Everyone says not to use Ceramcoat and Apple Barrel acrylic craft paints on miniatures, but for decades I've been doing exactly that to great success. $1.69 per 2oz bottle goes a LONG way towards saving a ton of money on paints, and they're easy to mix for new shades & highlights, or thin with water for washes. Just make sure to spray on a clear finish coat or glaze once the paint dries to protect your paint job and it'll be fine. There, that's HUNDREDS saved on Citadel paints & inks.

More people getting into 40k? By the silent king, that's some good news.

I love how you've proven to me that no matter what you upload I'll still watch it. I have no interest in any of this but damn it's entertaining to watch you talk about what you're interested in. Well done Matt!

@@angrygnome44 Yeah every person I've gotten into the hobby I recommended to start with a barebones Patrol at like 500 points and then fill out the Patrol to its limit. That way they got to use/try models from the different force org slots and it gives a good base for moving into almost any detachment type, and sets you up for detachment combinations which are so important at higher points values.

Damn I'd love an AoS vid, League definitely has Warhammer blood in it (Twitch is definitely a Skaven)

Might actually join the discord and try this out, ive always loved squad based strategy games like xcom and fire emblem

This is so cool! You did a good job and you were excited in the video. I think that'll help people who were unsure if they wanted to play the game decide.

If you want a fun way to get into the lore I would recommend the Emperor text to speech series on youtube. The story line isn't canon but they do inform you of dam near every faction as accurately as possible. That and its is Hilarious.

Hey, you can download the books for free at this shady websi..."gunshot sounds" "User has been executed by the inquisition for illegal distribution of heretical tomes"

So the only thing I can add to this topic is for the people in the Phoneix, Arizona area. There is a gamestore opening in April that will have a checkout library, where you can checkout units of about 12 different 40k armies and play them in leagues for 1 dollar per unit. So to test different armies and learn the game will only cost 3-5 dollars for a 500 point game with rules included. You can use the checkout in leagues as well so if u only have 1,000 points you could still participate in a 2,000 point tournament. It is going to be like that for 40k and multiple other tabletops.

Excuse me

keep the warhammer content coming, its a great addition to your channel!

Keep them up. I love these videos. When is your table top game Chanel coming out?

For painting: get Plastidip as a primer, if you need to do a gradient use an sponge (the big ones for car washing and just cut them up or make up triangle sponges work too) use acrylics, and remember to seal your work, there are a lot of sealents and if you are using acrylics then any one will work just fine

Definitely good you made this video. As a 40k vet I would say it's a good idea to network with the established 40k groups and channels out there too. Tons of great people and info.

I'm 3 years in and the way you get addicted is when you push through all the time and pain and your first unit of 5 guys is painted then your next unit, then the next. Started with Tau. I main Blood Angels now for the past 2 years. Still painting. Still love/hating it. I hope the community continues to grow.

Miss those days where I paint with my friends in a local game store. Got a few commission projects once in a while and the Tau project i did get the best painted model in one of the competition. I do have some old videos on how i painted my models. :) Can't wait to see more content from this channel. I still have some unpainted ork models, collecting dust. I'm a painter and more of a collector than a player.

What drove me away from playing tabletop was back in highschool I never had enough money to compete with the bigger 2000 point armies so I'd always get my shit kicked in pretty fast

Man this video is very cool, very clean, im french and i understood all of it, so, very good work !

I need another big episode like the last one, idk anything about Warhammer but the characters look so cool that ive become very interested

This is a great guide to starting on Warhammer 40k!

The best starting thing I've found is the +Paint Set series. You get a handful of models and the colors to paint 'em. Nice way to get to know if you are gonna flip your crap just from painting the models or if it is actually fun.

so happy to see you upload man, could use a dose of happiness once in a while

Battle Primer is a great start, but I would venture Battle Scribe, Tabletop Simulator as a start too! I know you mention them and have another video on those. Also Dark Imperium or Know No Feat sets (this is being replaced in 9th I believe), but splitting that between you and a buddy or sell one half. Core rulebook is in there too in Dark Imperium. Wahapedia is a superb tip, and hope that remains!

My local Games Workshop always had a table with an preset skirmish to play. Though I didn't venture further into 40k, it was a great way to get to know it.

Great guide. Love this series

Also worth mentioning, if you hate the paintjob from ebay models you can just strip the paint and repaint them!

We use alot of warhammer figs in our dnd sessions, goblins and orcs are great especially with their crazy weapons, and the mechanical suits do great for representing steampunk golems etc, planning on having warhammer sessions in between dnd

finally ive been waitin for this video for years

I’m loving the 40K content! Didn’t even know what it was until the first vid, thanks for showing it to me. Keep up the good work!

Another way to save money is to look into what kind of army you want to run. Army's can be horde or elite and horde are typically more expensive. A 5 man Custodian guard squad costs around £35 and gives you roughly 240 points because they're beefy bois. A 30 man Ork squad costs around £60 and gives you roughly 220 points because they're a numbers based force. As matt said you can also proxy models, so for example two boxes of custodes troops and two jetbike squads will cost you around £140. Run one custodian as a Shield captain and one bike as a shield captain. You now have a battalion of a shield captain, shield captain on bike, three 3 man custodes squads and a 5 man bike squad. That's a 1200 point army for reasonably cheap. Planning your army ahead on something like battlescribe saves a lot of cash in the long run. People also make the mistake of thinking an army is cheaper if you get more bang for your buck in terms of models, it's often the other way around. An army is comprised of points so the more points you get for your money is where you save money. Sure buying 5 dudes for £35 instead of 10 dudes for £15 seems less worth it. But if you need five boxes of those £15 guys to match the points of a single £35 box then you aren't actually saving money.

I've been playing wh40k for 10 years and i didnt even know about wahapedia, amazing stuff! Thanks Magikarp

‘You wanna thin your paints’ - someone’s heard the word of Duncan ;)

You covered all the major things. one thing to add though would be making your own recasts. Blue stuff, green stuff and milliput can turn one box of models into 10 with some time and skill. Even on a smaller scale say you bought 5 sniper scouts but then you find the box only has 4 snipers and 1 heavy weapon make a cast on a sniper rifle and you save yourself having to buy another box or buying another 1 model from a bits site or ebay.

Matt and bricky dragging me back into 40k and my love for the Eldar

Ive had great success with Facebook buy/sell/trade groups for warhammer especially finding rarer models and them being way cheaper than new and alot of them sell them still on the sprue as well

Speaking as someone who has been floundering around trying to figure out a good (and preferably inexpensive) way to get into 40k I found this video super helpful! Big thank!

I'd also like to add that if you buy pre-painted units and you don't like the paint job then you can use strip the paint. Use ELO from Testors and youtube some tutorials. Also Rust-oleum 2x primer works really well as well. Get a white and a black and do the black on the whole model and then white pointing from the top. It's called a zenithal highlight and will really add some life into your paint job. Make sure when you're priming you hold it far enough away so that the chems evaporate before it hits the plastic otherwise it will eat your plastic.

Amazingly excited to see you play warhammer!!! I’ve been playing since I was 12! I’m hoping you get into fantasy but honestly if you want my tau shit I’ll send it!
