Hey, my name is Eplesh, and this is Empire of Wargames!
This is a channel covering interesting topics all around Warhammer 40k, Age of Sigmar, Kill Team & Warcry by Games Workshop. I am trying to build a helpful community no matter if you play casually, narratively, or competitively.
The armies I play and own are:
-40K: Space Marines (Silver Templars): 15K Points || Space Marines (Void Tridents) 5K Points || Necrons (OldCrons) 4K Points || Necrons (NewCrons) 10K Points || Drukhari 4K Points || Craftworlds 4K Points || T'au 5K Points || CSM 5K Points || Death Guard 5K Points || TS 2K Points || Tyranids 5K Points || Khorne Daemons 3K Points || Every Combat Patrol Box
-AoS: SCE 8K Points || SBG 5K Points || Lumineth 4K Points || Orruks 2K Points || StD 2K Points
-KT & Warcry: 10+ Warbands & Kill Teams between the two games!
Thanks so much for watching my videos, and supporting what I do, it means a lot!

Nice overview. Thanks for the evening entertainment
I would also suggest trying to find issues of the Imperium magazine with the Necrons stuff, because some of those are amazing deals at MSRP. Sure, buying three copies of issues with the wraiths or tomb blades is barely cheaper than just buying boxes of those, but if you can find an issue with the Royal Court, it's a stupidly amazing discount. I bought the Imperium issue with that set at the standard price, and even then I was still paying about a quarter of the cost I'd be paying if I ordered the Royal Court from GW.
Very informative! But on another note... is that paint scheme at 0:35 somewhere available? That look sawesome!
I would look at the paintsheme for the bonereapers from Age of Sigmar. They are basicly the fantasy version of necrons.
I always find it a challenge when building an army, when a crucial piece of it (either thematically or competitively) is clearly a model with a ticking clock. I for one really like the look of the old Nightbringer model, particularly in Finecast versus metal -- one of the very few that really benefitted from that change. And in its current size it's a $50 model versus the $150 that a Void Dragon would run you. And it would be one thing if we were anticipating a new model but knew our old ones would stay compatible! Warriors, Immortals, Lords can still be used with current rules. But I suppose that's how they keep us on our toes and stop us from ever feeling comfortable that our army is "complete".
As always, thanks for watching and remember to subscribe and give a thumbs up if you haven't yet! Thank you! Also consider joining our Discord and following me over on Twitch for future Streams!

Wydm your name is h*tler?
So season of war is doing a spearhead tournament. Of the 8 games so far, 5 wins for the player who started the 1st turn Thats like 60% vs 40% From everything ive seen, the Cards drawn on the 1st round make way more of a difference. Easy house rule that will help. In the 1st roumd player 1 can mulligan 1 card and player 2 can mulligan 2 cards.
Keen to hear how maggotkin went.
Was really informativ and interesting. Do you played against Fyreslayers yet? I am building my spearhead Fyreslayers atm.
I really like your content! Your focus on CP and spearhead is very interesting for a causual gamer like me. What are your thoughts on replayability? One of my critique on CP. You think AOS does it better for SH? Exspecially if you won't have the chance to switch armys alot...
Looking forward to your upcoming spearhead contents
I like gravis units they feels like they fit the description and lore of space marines being these massive heavily armored units more than the standard tactical units which I still like but more for specialized roles.
As far as the warscrolls go does it seem like rend has been reduced across the field? I’ve only seen a few but that’s the pattern I’m sering
where do you get the unit stats
Fire and Jade spearhead rulebook, online download or with the leaks out in the wild . Can play the whole game right now
@@dannyward4385 app? I don't mind paying for that
It would be great if you could review all the Spearhead-boxes, the format seems very promising and have alot of potential.
👍
Appreciate your evaluation. I haven't been able to play yet, but I did watch quite a lot of battle reports, and I think what especially compounds the impact of the first turn that you described is the way the twist is handled. If the player that wins the twist roll-off gets a very beneficial twist that benefits only them (like rooting the opponent's cavalry unit; making the central objective easy to take & hold; maybe others) and maybe even also gets to go first, it feels like it can decide the entire game right there and then. What do you think about not having a twist for round 1, or limiting it to twists that let both players choose something (blood marked/objective each/etc)?
Are all the spearhead warscrolls in the box or those sold separately?
Sold in the launch box inside the fire and jade spearhead book. Will also be downloadable they said
More please
To counter first turn charges, make use of screening units. If you can use a unit with reinforcement, the cavalry unit will spend its strength on a unit that will come back, allowing you to counter charge them and force them into a bad trade off .
Yeah, you should be able to mitigate that with screens and terrain. Same as if you were playing real AoS
I recently bought the skaventide box as a complete entry into the game. Is it worth it? And from your expertise how balanced are is the flagship box.
I’ve heard the Skaven are very difficult to play and get crushed by the Stormcast if both players are equal
It has made me more interested in breaking out (and finishing painting) many of the models that have collected dust on my shelves for years.
I'm definitely interested in seeing your thoughts on each individual spearhead. Could be short videos reviewing units and rules 😄
Spearhead has surprised me and is incredibly fun. I think it's an amazing format in it's own right, so if you've ever thought that an AoS faction was cool, but you never wanted to commit to a full army, Spearheads would be an awesome way to have some minis and play with them. I did not mention this in the video, but you get two Spearheads in the new Skaventide box, and you get the book, terrain and mat required to play. So if you like Skaven and/or Stormcast, it might be worth considering. As always, thanks for watching!
Thanks. Always love Admech content.
Since Combat Patrol is a standalone game and separated of 40k, those changes must not be adopted. This is what I have been told by my local GW store manager. Adding some new rules or changing values would just lead into an non supported Combat Patrol which has nothing to do with the original, we'll balanced system, provided by GW. I would never accept such a customized Combat Patrol as long as its not approved and officially supported by GW. Coz the you could also change any other Combat Patrol to your needs like adding all additional weapons, which are listed in the codex but doesn't appear in the Combat Patrol data cards. And that's the point: as long as GW does not explicit ALSO changes the values of the Combat Patrol d'ata sheets, listed in the current codex or in the separate available data cards of 10th edition, such an adaption and transfer of other rules is just cheating. Please don't get me wrong. This is NOT against you but it's the official statement what I have been told by the store manager.
Last time i homebrewed the local GW manager broke into my home and snapped the antenna off my models stay safe
In the same vein, I’m not sure if I would apply the new plus strength for Synapse to the Tyranids Combat Patrol. Might make them overtuned. Thoughts?
Thanks for watching! Dataslate PDF: www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/ny8X1C4lLKnA8w5d.pdf
The core rules are 60 pages. The update to the core rules is 33 pages. Enough said... 🤗
15:45 that's not what the FAQ says regarding leaders. You can only select calgar or celestine (or freely choose to allocate damage to the bodyguards in their unit) if they're not an attached unit, ie only calgar or victrix, not calgar, victrix, or the unit they're attached to. It still explicitly says in the leader rules that you can't allocate damage to a leader while its attached unit is alive. Your options are still limited and lots of people seem to be reading this wrong. Great news for calgar though because of his feel no pain, but still not as good as you've suggested
My favourite video from you in a while.
Well I was toying with the idea of making a swarm out of my fledgling nid army. NOT ANYMORE!!! Maybe try like only once per br and only on turn 2 up??
Good summary, thank you. Though I gotta say: I don't understand why the Eliminator / Impulsor party bus is such a controversial issue. I thought it was a clever combo, though I never used it myself (don't own any Eliminators). It's not really a "that guy" play, like insisting that the Primaris Crusarers have two pistols. It's just an interesting side effect, how is it different than using the Uriel Ventris/Centurions/Vanguard spearhead combo? It wasn't that powerful anyway. If GW thought it was completely unintentional, they would have banned it in the first possible dataslate, instead of nerfing it through increasing the cost of Eliminators cost. I swear to God, Space Marine players turn into real crabs in a bucket over stuff like this, pulling each other down, instead of lifting up one another. "Nooo, don't use this combo, GW will nerf us even more!" "Divergent chapters shouldn't have fun and use codex detachments, make them use one playstyle forever because they painted their minis red!" "Black Templars are too strong, I hope GW nerfs them to bring them down to the rest of us!" It's really disturbing.
Great video. Changes are all pretty good imo
These videos usually don't do very well on the channel, but I really wanted to talk about some of these changes, so if you took the time to watch the video, please share your opinion on these changes in the comments! I am really curious what your thoughts are! As always, thanks for watching, especially on the more rules heavy videos. I really appreciate it!

Thank you for making this list. I was looking for a ranking based on actual play rather than monetary value
I wpuld start by looking at the detachments and seeing if that playstyle appeals to you.
@EmpireofWargames i don't remember seeing thi skind of video from you, so have you thought about making a video on chapter neutral space marine combat patrol boxes? I would love it more for gw to do that instead of the current system. They could pick different playstyles instead of a chapter, and the customer could pick up any chapter specific extras of their needs. That way you could pick from let's say phobos/heavy infantry/close combat oriented units to start with, without the unwanted upgrade sprue for a different chapter. Any ideas on that?
I started with this box as a new (wolves) player and it worth it - but can only be recommended if you want everything in the box / you can trade off what you don't need. The basic intercessors are strongly ok, their sticky rule is great, and battleline units might be more useful in pariah nexus , so bringing 2x5 intercessors is definitely on the menu. The lieutenant is a nice supporting character (wouldn't use him for 5 intercessors though), and you can proxy him for a captain anytime. The baby carrier is great for it's points but have to be careful with it as it's weaker than a dreadnought (also, can be proxied for a dreadnought). It has a nice damage output and can support phobos units if the situation is right. And the reivers... They are awesome models, but their rules are meh, and they miss AP, plus they are not cheap, unfortunately there is no reason to bring them instead of anything else - even as hounds of morkai(which might be great against psyker units once in a while). What i can advise getting next to this starter box is a box of infiltrators/incursors, and use the reiver bodies+heads to build 3 units of 5 infiltrators/incursors. That's how i should have built them at least So in short i'd recommend this box for new wolves players, not to anyone else unfortunately, and a second box can be useful if you want all the phobos units and have access to 3d printed parts to turn the second 10 intercessors to jump pack intercessors (and the second lieutenant to a jump pack chaplain/captain??)
Picked this up brand new for $75 dollars. Absolute steal considering I sold the lieutenant for $30 and the upgrade frames for $12 each 🤣 Built as Raven Guard
Thanks for the video! For Keen Senses, if you target any unit with a character in it, it gets the bonus because the target unit still has the Character keyword.
I'm excited about this video! I'm building this combat patrol as my third Raven Guard Combat patrol- thank you for the deep dive!
Damn, your love for the Ravens is real I guess :)
First
Also, in case you ware wondering where the Adepta Sororitas and GSC Combat Patrol reviews are, I am going to upload videos for both soon. There is going to be a twist, though! For these two factions I am going to cover both old and the new Combat Patrol boxes and compare them directly! So look forward to those videos and subscribe if you want to get notified once they go up!
Thanks For Watching! I am planning to upload a video in this style for every faction that has a Combat Patrol, so if you are interested in those, consider subscribing! Members also get early access to all the Combat Patrol and Spearhead reviews! If you know someone who is considering getting into Space Marines, consider sharing the video with them!

Combat Patrol has been designed for a wide variety of players. It can be picked up by new and returning players, people who might struggle to find the time for a larger game, players who want to try a new faction without building a 1,000 point army, or people who simply want to master a new game format. Instead of building an army from a selection of datasheets and points values, your games will feature balanced but varied forces based on the Combat Patrol boxes you can find in stores. You simply pick up the Combat Patrol box from your favourite faction, build your miniatures, and get ready to battle. It really is as simple as that!
i really want to start getting into this with sisters as a new hobby but reading so much info from which box or which figures to start its just getting so hard to choose where the best entry point. Tbh im leaning into buying a single unit like a Canoness and then start from there
Just buy from the second hand market, and if you're into first born it can be even cheaper. Those that buy from GW like to throw their money to the wind.
TIP for anyone interested in wargaming. You don't buy Warhammer in 2024. Buy alternatives there's hundreds out there.
I’m shocked they didn’t keep the boarding patrols around as budget combat patrols
*Sarting... ok, I'll watch the video now! 😀
