    When you are assembling (or maybe repairing) the model, put a piece of actual metal wire (or paperclip if you can bend it into the right curve) in among the tendrils holding up the skull. It should blend right in and barely be visible.

    I'm actually shocked that they didn't go with the Exorcist or the Immolator, since so much of the lore and themes behind the Sisters is that whole 'corrupted Catholic church' motif, with the focus on martyrdom and piety. Neither one of their choices give that across, despite them being a core part of the tabletop armies. Their revival hasn't changed much in their lore from back when they were introduced. The only thing that's really changed is that we (as outside viewers to the universe) can tell there's something supernatural to their faith, when back before it was murky as to if it was supernatural or just stubbornness (barring the living saint model).

    I’m torn, it would either be the leman russ or the Baneblade, the leman russ takes it for me however… It represents the heavy armoured firepower the faction is known for almost as well as the Baneblade, but is also cheep enough to be disposable… A perfect manifestation of the guard is dozens or hundreds of leman Russ’ moving in armoured formations, absorbing all losses and crushing everything under their unstoppable grinding advance.

    I think my suggestion is to always show people the main Troops choice of an army. Because the Troops choice is the essence of the army boiled down to its most approachable. Not visually busy like the character choices. Just the visual aesthetic of the army in its simplest form. Plus, you'll be painting a fair few of them if you start an army, so you need to know you like their look. Obviously, this shouldn't be taken as a hard and fast rule. In truth, you'd want to show a new 40K-er a variety of units for each army, so they get a representative sample. Seeing the Skitarii might not convey the "vibe" of AdMech as much as a Techpriest. And if you try to show off Tau without showing their mechs, you're not showing what's really cool about Tau. But in other armies, you don't fully "grok" what the army will look like if you don't get a look at their Troops. Imperial Guard always needs its infantry squads, and indeed are half of what differentiates one Guard army from another, aesthetically. Swarms of 'Gaunts convey a Tyranid army's impression of endless hungry hordes. And nothing captures the "you are playing an army of Terminators" quite like Necron Warriors. NOT showing the Troops off can almost seem deceptive.

    1 of the 1st models you build wrong or gets damaged makes the best mascots. For genestealers an acolyte leader I made with its body backwards is my favourite, put some tyranid spikes on his now back, it's now a metamorph leader (with 44 acol's and 22 meta's) it doesn't stand out but when looking at the horde closely he's there. For characters i built a 2nd female mage cutting up her staff to swap it round changed the knife and head too, but it doesn't go above the meta dude the patriarch is a great model too, but for horde armies like gsc etc the mascots should be a trooper.

    Onager dunecrawler for ad mech is like THE iconic vehicle which got me into ad mech. Dominus is sick with his spidery legs, Skitarii are Gorgeous and my fave like rank-and-file troop (distinguishing from Harlequins where not rank-and-file) choice in all 40k, but the Dunecrawler is absolutely Majestic. A Crab tank which can be an AA battery with missiles, or a fucking Particle Accelerator as a cannon, or a more standard Big Gun. Gorgeous, i love them.

    6:30 - New Turret gun profiles (outside of that meme Autocannon) are actually all viable in some ways. I messed around in a game on Saturday with a mix of Battle Cannons, Demolishers, a Vanquisher and a Plasma Executioner (I own 6 sue me). All of them did their part in a way, and felt actually useful. I love this video idea and watched the whole thing, I just wanted to throw the PSA out there that LR turret options are more than just the Demolisher now lol

    Hilariously, the Noise Marine is what got me interested in building a Chaos army, because it was just so cool and goofy. I switched over to Deathguard after a while because the models are just a joy to paint, but if we ever get proper Noise Marine units, I'm gonna be all over 'em.

    For Deathwatch, I would say either the Watch Master or a sergeant/captain using the Xenophase Blade. It really embodies how all these different aspects come together to make the one army stand out as the best of what space marines have to offer, plus the gateway to also using xenos bits in building them.

    As someone who’s only recently got into warhammer, I’ve got four factions and kits to choose from which are now in play since 10th is on the table; Grey knights is what I started with and I would pick the strike squad (but after seeing paladins I may change my opinion on that), black templars and the emperor’s champion, custodes and the blade champion because I really like how the power weapons on their faction look, and then the tau which is commander farsight

    So: Necrons should be Warriors. The new warriors are dope, have a nice play on the tabletop and are just iconic. T'au, while the riptide is nice, the crisis suit is the actual powerhouse of the T'au'va. Votann, the HQs are what interest me the most. Insane iconography. Sisters can be anything. There are so many abstruse things about them, the flamer, melter, bolter triade. The Penitent engines. The warsuits. The Repentia. The HQs. The army is jzst full of character and ever unit has it's own flair to it.

    For necrons I'd have to go with either the necron lord specifically with the ressurection orb, or the old spyder model. But the spyder model might be due to how I was introduced to necrons through dawn of war dark crusade. Just seeing a spyder gather bodies and then create a new squad really sold me on 'never ending undead army'.

    A bit "off-topic" here but what actually got me into GW were the Freeguild armies that I got to see displayed when I was 10 at my local GW store. I wanted my first actual kit to be a Space Wolves one, but I just got regular Ultramarines. In middle school I really got into Eldar though, mostly because of the bikes and walkers, but never actually had Eldar. My first official army is T'au, which I got into cause mechs obviously, but also the piranhas weirdly and their overall aesthetic. Gotta say though, I really love the Ghostkeel's design over the Broadside.

    So as a new player (going on about 1 year) - I have been pulled into 3 armys. Custodes - it’s the guard, they might be the bog standard troop, but they are also “the golden gods” of the books. Space marines - dreadnaughts. If it’s a big stompy robot, I have atleast 1 of them in my collection, from ironclads and contemptors, to deredeo a and leviathans. Lastly, Votann - for me while I love the land fortress. It’s the hearthkyn. The dude wearing the shades is the best head GW has ever released and I have been “robbing” my friends of the shade boys ever since. Of my 40 warriors, atleast 15 of them have shades on
