Skaventide Update: A month after release it's already on CLEARANCE! Games Workshop messed up AGAIN?
A quick update on how Skaventide is doing a month after release. I suspected it might have sold relatively poorly but i wasn't expecting to find it on CLEARANCE already!!

Operation Hivestorm Cinematic Trailer and Jump Scions revealed. Games Workshop losing their touch?
มุมมอง 79วันที่ผ่านมา
So we got a model leak and a trailer for tomorrow's preview which is apparently ONLY focused on Kill Team which seems a bit odd to do a preview for ONE game. Oh well, let's have a look in true Grumpy Grognard fashion.

GW have shown off ALL the Skaven coming up for AOS and a couple of niggles aside this is all FINE work.
OK, THIS is the worst reveal of a new edition now.

Bizarre. Only GW could announce a brand new expansion for a game with loads of new models.... and then announce a new edition OF that game two hours later that it won't be compatible with. Amazing.

So, from all appearances Skaventide is selling FAR less copies than Leviathan.

Where Next to Conquer: BOLT ACTION/KONFLIKT 47
A good range of sites TBH. Element are my go-to these days; it used to be Goblin but they seemed to have problems getting pre-orders listed or allocated to them so they're just a backup now. Jadlam are an interesting one; it's those guys who I got Great Slaughter books from when almost everyone else was sold out; I think they often get overlooked as they're primarily a racing-focused toyshop rather than a classic "FLGS" shop, which is also why they don't have as much of a discount for GW items.
Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't have the space in my Apartment for it. I'm glad I found Gimdark Fleet a while ago. I printed it out in half scale and we play in cm instead of inches. I just say: "Giant (Mini) Space Battles"
There are local stores with deep discounts as the default mind - I bought mine at launch for £120 from a local shop who do 25% off everything. But yeah AoS is nowhere near as popular as 40k so we knew this would be available for a lot longer. I just quite liked the Skaven and fancied looking at the rulebook so sold my Stormcast to a friend for £50 and kept the rest. I do agree it's probably not sold great, but I suspect it's not a complete disaster for them. And to be fair you could still get copies of Leviathan a couple of months after release. Definitely not as widely available as this is, but you could get it.
I bought it and I love mine. I LOVE AOS and fantasy in general, but I think this proves that folks just love guns and power armor more. I just think 40k is just so tired, and I don't get why people love it so much.
There are places discounting it more than that. I bought my copy 3 days ago from a FLGS who were clearing theirs out at 50% off - paid £80.
IT would be very interesting to see if sales of all GW games are falling off now. 40k just doesn't have that buzz around it like it did 2-3 years ago.
I think the constant price rises and shrinkflation with things like Combat Patrols etc have seen to that a bit.
the concepts behind the last couple of years of Kill Team releases have been solid and some of the more creative options GW have tried in the sci fi space recently. They feel a bit fresh compared to the ideas vacuum that is 40k. It's as if they have decided that 40k can only ever be the one thing now - a tournament game, and anything else has to go somewhere else
So, are you going to get the new edition coming out this week in the USA?
Ja, eine ganz schwache Leistung vom Marktführer. Das kann man auch nicht mehr schön reden.
Packs look like the old Rouge trader ones.... and the Searget came right from the Paris olympics from 2024 ^^
I'm really liking that turret ngl, they're neat!
With a Helmet on you wouldn't be able to see the strong independent Woman leading the Squad.
The quality of this cinematic is very high TBH. I'm not convinced that a single titchy turret could wreck most of a well-trained Pathfinder Team but there you go. Scions were disappointing, I was hoping for Elysian Drop Troops to be resurrected from FW's Imperial Armour Vols 3 & 4 given that their grav-chutes look at lot like those on the Scions that we saw in the previous teaser and that GW resurrected the Tauros ATV (for Enforcers in Necromunda, weirdly) they used also. Missed a trick, IMO. I'm very happy to see more Tau Auxiliaries get updated, it took them long enough, haha! I still have my metal Vespid and liked how they played in 6th edition, Stealthing in ruins and AP3ing MEqs. So on the Imperial side...meh, Tau, yes. Looking forward to seeing more Vespid properly tomorrow!
Every few days I check out one of our vids for new comments and your green pic always makes me laugh,, hahaha 🤣
constant reminder for me to get off my arse and do some avatars... not today though!
@@GrumpyGrognardGaming THE AGE OF THE FIRST IS STILL UPON YE :D
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I like the wings being toned down on the sanguinary guard and wish it was carried over to the other characters as it made the sanguinor and converted characters stand out more.
I think the mini I like the least is actually the Sanguinor - so much I've already made my own kitbash of one. The other characters I really like, especially Lemartes and Astorath. DC and SG are just straight up disappointing but the bonus is I've got like 4 unbuild SG kits, 2 DC ones and a massive load of random Blood Angels stuff in my bits box so I'm just gonna swap the heads and stuff and give them a ton of bling.
The new skaven warp grinder looks like the first version of the warp cannon
Knew there was something familiar about it!
@@GrumpyGrognardGaming Yeah i would use it as a warpcannon, the newer dousent look great :)
I have that gigant spawn from FW its beautiful and U sir are a git. I like old spawns too and fear that new one wont be so compatibile.
i dont feel like they have ever got Spawn right. The should look like something out of The Thing, not a model with random bits glued on. (i agree they are better than the current plastic one though)
#1 Looks awesome, almost like a Baphomet crossed with a Vermin Lord. Horns mark it out as deffo Skaven, even to me who isn't a WFB/AOS player. #2 Not really a fan, armour looks a bit too Nurgle. Weird gap is weird; there's two gaps in that cloak though... #3 Very nicely done but I can't help wonder what that green pipe is all about... #4 Stormvermin look legit #5 Ad-Mech Rat is cool but not my bag #6 Bit boring #7 Globadiers look cool #8 Battery looks good #9 Grinder is a nope, might just be getting warpfatigue by now 10# not a fan of the flayers either but they do echo the doomwheel nicely Overall, very good updates, even if there are the usual lack of imaginative naming warp-warp
I disagree on the first one, you cant even tell its a rat, if someone showed it to me without telling me its skaven I would think its a anorexic bray shamen.
People found many gaps in the new minis. specialy the heroes....
The models look great. TBH I think/hope that GW are just like "This time period uses the old rules, this time period uses the new rules but the old stuff will be updated to work with the new rules". Otherwise...WAT
No idea, they do say all profiles have been rebuilt from the ground up so i suspect the latter.....
I noticed when they were selling the Gen Con specials the Centurion fluff text listed it as found in PHR UCM and Remnant Fleets (instead of Resistance) Makes me think the rag tag groups are getting a rebrand maybe loosing some the orky astetic
That would be a shame. Its the ramshackle ragtag look that drew me to them. had so much fun building.
Utterly mental.
thats GW for you i guess!
Men of Angmar are better marauders then deioath.
It is one of their best games and this is strange. Werewolves have been wanted for ages.
yeah i heard great things about it. just one system too far for me lol
The G Boys back on form!
I really hope they don't mess up the rules, the game is in a pretty good place atm
This is what i hear, that it's prob GWs best game! Hopefully its the same writers
typical GW logic
Baffling.
Bought it when it first came out. Game had potential. Haven't kept up to date and was surprised with this video that it actually still exists. Deleting peoples models hmm, have they just been taken over by geedub marketing. Way to commit hobby suicide. We have more games and systems to choose from than most of us can ever collect and play. Onwards to something else for most Dropfleet folks I would bet.
Yep, very silly move by TT. I got my fleet for the models but i feel for players.
You can tell it's the same company as Troll Trader 😂
Why is almost every company working so hard to make themselves look like they are mortal enemies of the hobby and community?
Absolute stupidity. Not good look at all.
Why would anyone buy this game after that post?? biggest case of self sabotage I've ever seen. Well this ones off my radar then
Yep! Shame as i have loads of fun putting the models together but game wise? I think this will do big damage
At the time there was so much going on in the studio and it was hectic, all a bit crazy but the vibe was very good. Most of the artwork was commissioned after the miniatures were sculpted apart from the concept art on the Harlequins by Jez. Camo was frowned upon for Marines but acceptable on Imperial Guard...to start with. All the best, Darren Matthews
Awesome. Very interesting about the artwork! Good to know. If you ever fancy coming on for a chat about the studio days let us know!
What are you talking about 😂 it’s super popular. Everyone is reviewing it positively, I am everyone I know bought this box. I don’t even play AOS.
Just got into Resistance, went a little crazy and bought 2 starter sets, the Faction cards, Fleet cards, Trident, Senator, Munifex destroyers, Galileo set and Sagittarii set. Enough ships for a 1900 game when most of the people I know of in my area play 1250 games
Balls deep eh? I will say that i put together my Resistance starter fleet last night and it was the most fun i've had in ages.
New ed.... take my money please 😂
Theres a channel called basement 1908! Hes put on some pretty massive games of dropfleet commander (he does some pretty epic size napoleonic games that are worth looking at just for the spectacle
I'll have to have a look. Thanks for the head's up!
Can't believe Matt messed up the audio like this....
@@LittleJonnynelson I know!! Just can't get the staff...
I have trashed this game on Bolter & Chainsword a week ago and all the little GW fanboys came out of their holes to defend this abomination of a game. My entry games were Hero Quest and Space Crusade. This on the other hand is not a full game but an abortion.
Hey, you leave that lazy billion dollar company alone!
Post 8th ruined 40k, event tables have never looked stupider, some armies still look okay, but the tables at vents look like an arena for paintball, it's just not in a good place.
Is matt on the toilet?
No, I'm echoing through Al's speakers; he'll remember to use a headset next time :P
You can see GW's approach to 40k by what they're NOT doing - cities of death, planetary onslaught rules, death from the skies, the old jungle fighting rules, fortifications/stronghold stuff, army customisation, narrative hooks in the codex to give you ideas, etc etc. There's crusade but it's not the same as being able to play a pick up game with a narrative approach. Some of the lore books like Vigilus are a great read but again, they only offer very slight mods to the existing ruleset, nothing 'extra' or out of the box. This is all made worse by how abstract the rules are and how they don't allow for or encourage fun story moments in game.
Man, i miss all that stuff.
@@GrumpyGrognardGaming I know we're the saltmongers here but I honestly think most of it will be back. Maybe in Heresy, but GW have multiple attempts at creating casual game modes that have stalled now so I am sure they will also be realising that a fully separate game is needed.
It's a fun game and so much easier to follow on the 2nd try.
If GW wants to make it so balanced that it’s purely about the skill and abilities of the players they should use fixed army lists and maybe go one step further and you are randomly assigned an army each match or switch armies and replay. That doesn’t appeal to me but nor does meta chasing and exploiting rules to win at all costs. But nobody wants to always lose, especially with high amounts of time and money spent. What makes me sad is I want to introduce 40K to younger family, painting to playing, but all the rules and changes is too much to follow. I’ll probably get a starter box and try One Page Rules. Unless anyone has any better suggestions? Really enjoyed this podcast, cheers!
If you're looking at alternate rules systems proxy models would be worth looking into as well. Lots of options outside of GW that make better models IMHO
I actually did a video on OPR. in my series. Where next to Conquer. Much more basic and adaptable ruleset. :)
5th edition rules with 4th edition codex's is really good.
Thanks! I'll take a look!
New Cortez is someones diaper fetish in mini form. Looks shit af.
this might be the worst 40k model gw has ever produced
it's up there! as i say, normally their remakes of characters are pretty good!
At least AoS has doubled down on the high fantasy, so it's making great models for people who like that kind of thing. And Old World for people who don't (like me). 40k seems to be in a weird place at the moment. They are quite often now taking the cartoonishness and large scale of the high fantasy style models, but in the process they've lost a lot of the sci fi/military look, and lost a lot of grimdark too. I feel like they can't settle on a range-wide style that makes the whole system feel uniform, which is one of the strengths of AoS. I don't like many of the 40k models anymore, they are mostly missing the mark and Heresy feels a lot more 40k than 40k
Absolutely, i far prefer the aesthetic of 30k to 40k these days.
@@GrumpyGrognardGaming GW are still making fat stacks right so maybe we'll get a retro 40k game as well. Once all the Heresy mainstays are in plastic and they've done the siege I wouldn't be surprised to see 30k evolve into something beyond what it is at the moment. It seems to be the only system where the hype is real and the pre-orders are selling out. apart from the odd release in the other games. based on my local FLGS nothing is selling out at pre-order anymore though. cost of living has finally caught up
Its worse, the CAD skeleton looks to be the loyalist legion champion from 30k, which mind you I was never keen on, something about a character thrusting their melee weapon into the ground for no reason never sits right with me.
Yeah, at least make it into a daemon head like the grey knight or something.
