I think most of the changes were nessacery. It just shows they did not play test enough before launch. I have been having fun playing 40k but as a Tyranid player we needed this. I struggled dealing damage and so even if you won it felt like you lost. Just wished 10th launched with these rules.
Yep, and I also don't like that these large changes are so soon after launch. Ah well, we still play anyway 🤣
@@dadhammerstudios Agreed, its not going to help GW longterm. Hopefully they have it pretty stable the rest of the edition. Especially since all the rules are not free. Your Codex is outdated before your check clears and that just can't happen. Still a fun game with fantastic models and cool lore so I don't want to be too negative. At least they have combat patrol for new players because core 40k is a terrible onboarding experience.
Just discovered you all. Great clean podcast that is fine to have on with the kids around. I enjoy the discussion of managing wargaming around family and budget as well as adapting to including kids.
Thank you! Really appreciate the comment and thanks for listening.
Black Templars vs the Grey Knights ? Who do you take ?
Anybody who gets into the old world is going to be a new player. In terms of which warhammer game is the best for getting into wargaming, you should just pick whichever system appeals the most to you. There is no point to spending $500 on a 40k army if you’d rather play old world just because 40k might be easier to learn or have more resources available.
Well said. If you like the setting, miniatures, etc that makes up for a lot. Each game has their pros and cons, but if you love the look, the cons kinda go away.
Cool new segment, 40k D&D is a perfect marriage
Thanks Brian as always for listening and for your feedback on the show. It really means a lot to us. 🙌
Hi thank you so much for the tips and I really enjoyed the Choose Your Own Adventure story. An idea for one of them could be primarchs coming together with their army’s with the help of others like Blood Angles. Then they start a campaign to destroy the hive mind heading for Terra
Awesome, so glad it was helpful! If you have more questions, let us know. Yeah the new segment was fun lol. We're looking to expand a bit eventually on this. We shall see 😎
@@dadhammerstudios Yeah so far it’s been a lot of fun to listen too
As a new player looking to start I found this really helpful as I was contemplating starting with a necron army 😊
Thanks for the comment and for watching. Glad it was helpful! Necrons are always a good choice, plus their newer kits are really good looking and there's good versatility in the new codex that just came out! Good luck 🤖
Hey guys I am a blood angels player with 1 battle in the process. I found you guys whilst asking my Alexa for a warhammer podcast. Have you guys got any tips for playing the game in general.
Thanks for listening! Lots of tips for sure, anything in particular you're wanting to focus on? It's a big game with lots of rules and complexity...but happy to help. Just let us know! Also, you can send us an email to [email protected]
@@dadhammerstudios Thank you, I would like to know what I should focusing on when charging because I had loads of models to charge with but I was just sending them up hoping for the best.
Tell you what, we are recording tonight for tomorrow's show, so I'll cover charging in a segment! Tune in tomorrow morning 😊
@@dadhammerstudios thank you. I listen through Alexa so it might not show that I have listened but O definitely will.
Female custodes kicked off wokehammer officially
Great video. My friend got me into Warhammer 40k and I've been struggling to find a good starter army. I was thinking Tyranids because I always like the swarming alien race in other games (Zerg and Flood).
Thanks for watching! Tyranids are great, and definitely give the feel of a zerg rush. For the Flood, maybe look into Death Guard as your second army...they are more zombie like. Also, combat patrol is a great place to start.
First time I’ve seen someone else question whether there’s a Spearhead launch box instead of it being rolled into the 4th edition set as that’s how I read it. Hopefully we’re wrong and there is just the one mega box on the way!
Maybe we're just reading too much into it! I dunno, but if the launch box is 2 Spearhead forces, then I'll have a duplicate Stormcast Spearhead box 😑
@@dadhammerstudios yeah I think many will be in the same boat. I panicked because I’ve bought the Cities of Sigmar spearhead box and have some FEC troops too. So when they showed those factions I assumed they were the sides included in the launch box. I’ll be okay if there’s not a separate box though. I guess time will tell!
Both minis look sharp, but I think the Ork is just a little sharper. Ork!
Might suck on the table top. But it's still my favorite army for lore and kitbashing. One day GW won't hate us
Deathwatch is certainly an interesting faction. I love the idea of the best coming together. I grew up in the 80's so it feels like the A Team of Space Marines.🤣
@dadhammerstudios same vibes or get. Everyone is the best of the best with different flare and tactical skills
The three player game was awesome. Whoever can come to the game gets to play. Nobody has to sit on the sidelines anymore. And the mission was really exciting.
3-4 player combat patrol sounds fun! So does the multiplayer war cry game with random alliances
It really is great, highly recommend! Thanks for watching 🙌
Mod podge and black paint would work well also.
Absolutely. I have used that before. Thanks for watching!
Stu, the helm is outstanding. Great show fellas
Indeed it was! Can't wait to see him rock up to a tournament wearing it!
Id personally add price as a huge + point for custodes. You can more or less get a functioning army for 300€> and get into the hobby, find out what you like and maybe start a second army if you are looking for something in particular that custodes can not do well.
Tyranids really do not excel at close combat anymore.
I am still new in regards to playing Tyranids. But I have experienced the power of the Screamer Killer in close combat. It made a quick meal out of Votann bikers.
I think models being retired from production and even from tournaments is not only fine but should be expected. However there should still be rules for discontinued units with every edition for casual play. Even if it’s just a pdf free download and not included in the codexes.
Yep, or at bare minimum they could just add an update to the app for the retired units. Same thing as pdf but at least it's not a separate document.
you got my sub, but I have a request. in future vids would you just turn down the music while you talk instead of turning it off. The transitions between the talking and music is very abrupt and make it harder to watch.
Thanks for the sub and the feedback! We actually used to have music playing throughout and turned it down while talking...only for people to say it was distracting. We'll find a happy medium though 😊. Thanks again for your feedback.
Might I recommend the DnD Cartoon for background enjoyment? Fear not, Ranger. Barbarian ... Magician ... Thief. Cavalier and Acrobat.
Solid choice. Bonus points if the commercials are in there.
I have been playing DeathWatch for some time and looking forward to buying the Orks BoxSet to start painting and playing Orks. I think the Big Mek really sold me on it... not sure I will use the Stompa, but everyone plays at my place, so not worried about moving that around.
Borrowed the store’s stompa for a game. It got jammed in melee by terminators and sat there until it died.
Sooo...mission accomplished? Or waste of points? Genuinely curious.
I've always struggled to feel like "Rule of Cool" didn't bait me when I started. 1 year and 20+ games into the hobby I think me and my beloved Aeldari are still at like a 20% win rate? When I was also, apparently, the 'best army in the game'. Elves that die to a stiff breeze be hard yo. That being said, I'll always love these space elves the most.
I always though that the Aeldari had great sculpts and the Windriders looked awesome. So I went ahead and purchased the Combat Patrol to try them out. After a couple of games I changed my mind and decided to stick with the other armies that I had.
Fully agreed. I would much rather lose with models that I love vs win with models that I'm only bringing because they're "competitively viable."
So is this a Target, therefore a US exclusive?
Yes, unfortunately for those outside of the US. You maybe able to find some floating around on Ebay.
Nice job, I wish I would have waited to get this set instead of the Introductory Set. Looking forward to see how you paint them n
Thank you! It's a great box for the price. Those Tyranids will certainly be used to boost the swarm that I am putting together.
Great video!
I'm really late to the game (pun intended) with this one, but it's the ork for me.
what happened to showing off what cocktail or beer you guys are drinking? I miss that bit :( haha
Ha, yeah...couple reasons for that. 1) we were running out of drink ideas lol and wanted to focus Warhammer, 2) we want parents to be able to listen to a clean Warhammer podcast with their kids in the car...just want to be good stewards of that purpose. Thanks for listening!
How about the Heresy Era Dark Angel, mostly black, colour palette for Steve to try? That could be something to take a look at to get some inspiration if you want to paint something different than bone white.
Great suggestion!
The ultimate starter set for 10th is the combat patrols for Space Marines and Terminators plus terrain. The regular 10th starter set is the same minus the terrain, the barbgaunts and terminator librarian for like 100. But it’d be nice if they had a 2nd version with 2 other armies, maybe when they drop the next mission pack?
@brianboulay9268 Yeah a different box set is always cool, but they usually save those for the next edition or maybe a Battleforce box (with only 1 army in there). I just think a smaller CP box with 2 armies in it would be cool for new players.
Any Astra Militarum players? I've always been fascinated by the tanks that supplement the grunts. Are they hard to paint/play?
@carbinewolf I'm not a Guard player myself, but I don't think they would be any more difficult to paint than other armies. Lots of militarum green and whatnot. Might be a little challenging if you want to paint a camo pattern on the uniforms, but there are a ton of tutorials out there for that. As for playing, from what I've seen they aren't an elite army, so expect to field a lot of units that die quickly (similar to any other horde army). Their tanks though are pretty powerful, just depends on strategy and support units.
Awesome tutorial! I think it would still take me closer to an hour or more. I'm pretty slow.
@aaronbradbury7405 It can absolutely take longer if you want to add more details! This was more or less a challenge to paint as quickly as possible and to paint with a purple-ish undercoat. Glad you liked it!
Wonderful conversation. For a beginner in the hobby it's sometimes difficult to look through the negativity echo chamber you often see. Good to see beacons of light as you guys are!
Thank you so much! We have another guest in the works that just about everyone in the Warhammer Community knows 😉
Very cool interview, Stephan is the type of ambassador any game should want representing them.
Agreed 100%, and thanks for tuning in!
First tapper I’ve seen. Interesting idea, especially with the mahogany step. Keep up the good work dude.
Chaplain here...Thank you! Definitely learning as I go. I have a video dropping soon which uses a purple under paint in order to create a more haunted eerie vibe.
@@dadhammerstudios I used to work at GW a million years ago and go so used to the style we taught (classic base coat/wash/highlight). It’s cool to see new techniques and styles now.
@MrNeelneel that style hasn't really gone away honestly. The only thing that's really changed are the various types of paint to get there. The "technology" if you will, in the paint, has improved.
@@dadhammerstudios agreed. I’m back “in” after about a 15 year hiatus and painting is a dream. Contrast-style paints are awesome. Pigment count is up across the board so bright colours are no longer impossible. Drybrushing took some giant leaps forward with the Artis Opus stuff. It’s a whole new world haha. Anyway, enjoying the channel. Keep up the good work everyone.
@@MrNeelneel Thank you!
Nice ep guys. Enjoyed the mag review
Thanks! We'll probably do these once a month or so. Don't want to do overdo it, but it was fun for sure.
@@dadhammerstudios look forward to it
subbed! Thank you!
Thanks for the sub!
I went with the Orks because I saw there was a unit that are a bunch of lads that have strapped ACME rockets to their back and that was rad as hell
The amount of shenanigans the orks have in their army is truly amazing.
I'd suggest Custodes for a 1st army every time. Cheap, easy to paint, easy to play.
True, and I wish there were more elite armies like Custodes in general. Horde armies are cool to look at for sure, and have a ton of tactical options, but sometimes it's nice to just have something straight forward.
I would swap tau for world eaters for the “one phase army” slot , as i think tau can be harder to pilot for beginners you need to know movement and positioning to to decent with them
One of the guys on the Dadhammer team started with World Eaters, and they are indeed a good "one phase army". Plenty of great army options for sure.
Montage for the win! This isn't a comment on painting abilities...but I have to go with the Ork. I'm a sucker for impaled anything on spikey armor. Awesome job guys and I'm pretty sure blood bowl is 100% Taylor Swift free.
100% Swift-free zone
I am going Warboss Ork. The red hair and green looked clean and cool. Orks… for the win
I was going to start with Imperial Knights, but I heard a lot of people say that you don't really learn the game properly as almost all other armies have a lot more models. I think I'll start with Necrons instead, I'm really taking a shine to their lore and aesthetics.
That is true. Knights are huge models that don't give you enough exposure to all the tactics and strategy that inherently come with lots of troops on the board. That said, they are super fun to play...and terrifying to play against lol.
I still love them as both big mechs and knightly things appeal to me, so maybe my 2nd/3rd/4th army. I currently have 3 factions I'm considering for my first army and then Knight after or in the middle of that.
@@Wineblood sounds awesome! Great thing about this game/hobby is there's always something else to collect and build. Good luck!
I have a Chaos Knights army because I found myself largely unable to win with my first army (Aeldari). I'd definitely think about just selling my wardogs if I didn't love my paintjob so much.
I atarted getting into Warhammer 40k and my first army is ORKS cuz there da biggest and da baddest and lots of WAAAAGH
Smash da humies!!
Just call it The Big Game.
Lol, I know...just think it's a little silly.
I think Death Guard would be also a great starting army, only the painting could be a little harder.
I've never played Death Guard personally, but they do have a ton of models/variety. I just can't get past how gross they are 🤣
FUCK IT I LL GO ANGRY MARINES!!!
I dunno, man. I'm a T'au player, and I think that in 10th Edition they are pretty nuanced. You gotta work and strategize to get your firepower, pick correct targets, choose who gets shooting buffs, and know where to place your army on the table. If you don't know what you are doing, then your army can easily underperform. Units are diverse but each is good at one specific thing and not so good at doing anything else. You need to know who to pick, for what role, and who needs to support them, so the army composition can get pretty complex. Not to mention, that as a range only faction, you are basically playing only half of the game, which is maybe not the best introduction for begginners. (Also T'au don't have any psychic abilities just as Necrons) I don't want to disincourage anybody from playing T'au; they are deffinately an interesting way to play the game. If you are into nuanced, tactical way to play, centered around min maxing, and planning, then go for it. If you are not sure, then I suggest taking T'au as a second army, and the first being something more balanced in melee/shooting. Also if you are going to paint them white, then prepare to suffer. (you'll become a pro at painting, though)
I hear you, and honestly, every army has nuance and details that make them more complicated. They are just range heavy which gives them an extra vote (in my opinion) for new players since they can still roll dice at a distance.
