Kill team is so very frustrating. It could be a great entry point game but it’s not, everyone I know looks at it, either can’t figure out what to buy or see they need like 3 books, a counter set, maybe terrain set, etc…. And nopes out. Two things would fix it: 1. Include the rules to play each team IN THE BOX with the team. Having it separate is a pure cash grab. 2. Bundle the essentials kit with the core rules. That way you only need two things to start playing. Rules and a faction box. Boom.

I have the rules for Arty Conliffe's Crossfire, however I live in an area where WW2 gaming is not in vogue so I made a non-WW2 army (well 2 armies) out of plastic army men. 80 men on each side, 3 plastic tanks for each side (aiming to get some heavier looking tanks) and I ran with a theme that actually makes getting terrain cheap, modular and easy and the paint job for the army was dead easy.

I found this looking for a game to try and get me and my friends into war gaming, but I’m really likin this vibe my guy

I got into the hobby just the last few weeks as I was on Amazon and decided to pick up a blood angels death company kit with my credit card points. Always wanted to get into models/minis but never knew anyone who did already and just never got myself to a shop to inquire about them. What started as a free reward impulse item turn into the gateway to this world. I started gathering supplies and all the essentials (Glue, Clippers, Paint, Brushes), then I started pickup up this and that and this doohickey then that doohickey.... 2 weeks deep and I just did my monthly financials and realized I spent over $700 on paint kits, a few other models, storage cases/magnets, and so on. Aye Caraumba! Luckily I have a savings for things like this, but this was entirely unplanned and the $ added up so fast it made my head spin. One would assume I picked up a bunch of larger kits and that ate up the majority of that 700 bucks, but it wasnt! I only picked up one other more bigger kit (W40k Elite Edition) and just two little kits (Orc Gretchins & Blackstone Cultists). It was a ton of those $5-10 purchases on uncommon supply's (Wants = Not needs) that after 30-40 of them all add up to a huge bill! Remember the days when to curb your spending you stuck your debit/credit card in water and then put it in the freezer... How do we do that with digital accounts! lol

Really good video. Love it!

Another good idea is using boardgamegeek and boardgameoracle to find board games with good minis and use them as proxies for other games. Example rune wars or zombicide for undead hordes

Part of the reason comes down to finding other players. I can buy every game out there, but if I can’t get my friends to buy in as well, then there’s no point.

There is a guy on youtube, who’s name I can’t remember right now, who prints miniatures designed for 28mm, but scales them down to 10mm. Much less material, requires much less terrain, space on the table, space on the shelf - all of these hidden costs that come with regular 28mm gaming. The beauty of this is, that you can take the exact rules, ranges etc. your 28mm game uses and change the tape measure to centimetres. It is not exact to the last decimal, as 10“ = 25.4cm, but that is close enough imo. And if you live in Europe, your tabletop gaming tape measure probably already has cm markings in addition to those imperial markings that only get used for tabletop gaming in this part of the world anyway =)

@Bluecho4

Not to mention there are various existing model lines at this scale, though not as much as 28mm.

Like with everything in life: If you are lazy and don't but any work in it you need to pay extra. If you are willing to look beyond your plate and dig around you can save money and find real treasure. Like ordering in a restaurant, going to a buffet or cook yourself... your choice.

Disagree on the ebay part! It is great for getting single sprues! If you want to kitbash a small warband you can pick up 1 or 2 sprues from different kits and get away with prices below 10 bucks for a full warband!!! (*depending on shippin costs)

2 older games that are great, Stargrunt II & Dirtside II, from Ground Zero Games for 28mm & 6mm Sci-Fi wargaming.

Also, historical miniatures can be used for fantasy games (especially human armies). Historical miniatures can also be used for Horror, SteamPunk & lost world/Dinosaur Safari type games.

Have you ever tried Pulp Alley? It’s a really great mom and pop indie tabletop skirmish game, and the creator Dave is super active on KZread. Got into it recently and it’s an awesome game and community. Plus it’s pretty agnostic with its pulp setting and characters.

There are so many smaller indie games that run with whatever models you want to use, tabletop has never been cheaper. You can get an entire playable force for many of them 3d printed for next to nothing. Great time to be involved in tabletop.

First non GW game I got involved in was Wargods by Crocodile games and was Mr FitzPatrick himself that showed me the game and still play it now when I get the chance. Indi games are great as you can have lots in a bag and be ready to go. I always carried in 1 bag 8+ different games systems as I can't guarantee booking a day/time so always good to have other systems so I can almost guarantee myself a game.

Really good advise. Grear vid.

GW are disgusting extortionists, don’t pay their bullshit prices, you can print up space marines for fractions of a penny on the dollar because of how much GW marks up. I did the math before I got my first 3-D printer the year after I graduated high school, at the time it was like a hey penny on the dollar, now it’s even crazier like 1/10th of a penny on the dollar, or maybe more now, i don’t even check gw’s product line anymore so I don’t know for sure).

In the 90's i got about $380 worth of eldar warhammer 40k guys for xmas. Biggest mistake of my life. I spent more time painting them than i did playing them and i bought them based on how cool they looked and when i saw how they played together i was very dismayed. I had a friend who had the space marine starter set abd he beat me 3/3 games and i was so upset at how much i spent on the miniatures and peripherals and how much it would cost to extend my army (impossible) that i threw them all on the garbage abd decided the game was for rich europeans clinging to atari computers. I got 5 parsecs from home, 5 klicks from the zone and 5 leagues from...whatever it was. They are great coop and sp miniature war/rpg games. I bought cheap colour coded army men, i got small plastic dinosaurs, plastic bugs and other toys you'd see in the dollar store. I used 1/2" foam insulation boards from a hardware store and glued paper printouts onto the shapes for textures. I use construction paper for grass, dirt, water, etc. Also got cheap plastic aquarium and train scenery plants and things for decorations. (Glued stuff onto coins and washers for weighted bases) Now for modern warfare at least i have tons of options for a fraction of the warhammer price. Doesnt look photo realistic but it is very geometric and playable which in my opinuon makes the game more playable. Still the time i spent cutting, gluing, and printing made me wonder what the hell i was doing. Computer games have a lot if pro's. (I got it all from amazon, wargamevault, and a few impulse buys from a local dollar store) I will never pay $10 fir a hunk of pkastic or pewter ever again. If anyone has any ideas on doing fantasy miniatures i have been using smg guys for goblins and that might be going too far but for games with ogres, goblins, elves, worgs, dragons and so on the variation has kind of pushed me away. I was drawing paper cuboids but got sick of it. For some reason i felt strongly about drawing each side of the unit and it took forever.
