I feel like 40k is popular because of the whole aspect of building and painting then playing the game. so you have stuff you can do and be involved with on your own, in the building and painting. Then you can have fun with friends playing with those models. So you have social and personal aspect when you don't have friends to play with. IMO
I was hooked reading a friend's White Dwarf in science class 1987. Bought some lead blister packs( back when they had 3-4 figures) and a box of 30 plastic beakies...with the last stand of the Crimson Fists... on the boxtop. Great hobby, community.
Tabletop gaming is fun for me because it's a combination of a few things I love - Painting + building things - Gambling (pray to the dice gods) - Strategy and tactics
My favorite episode so far, the rules are important yes, but ultimately it is the person with whom you are playing with which is the most important aspect. For me the order is: Friends Minis Rules Stay fantastic!
You will love Legion! I promise. It has alternating activations so you and your opponent are constantly moving around so you arent just sitting there for 20 min waiting for your turn.
Indomitis, Assault Intercessors, Bladeguard Veterans, the new Chaplains, they all screaming Black Templars!! The Lt. with the Power Sword is almost a perfect Primaris version of the Emperors Champion. Heck, the Chaplain on Bike even has some chains around his book, that is so Black Templars!! It has to come. We need a new Grimaldus, new Helbrecht, new Servitors and some love for the Crusaders 🤞
@@marioprifti6161 I honestly felt like I was the true Emperors Champion. I had visions the night before the battle. Even more so because I always wanted yo play the BTs before I stopped playing tabletop 10 years ago and now that I came back after so many years, the Emperor heard my prayings and gave us all the gift of a new Codex Supplement and new models. Pretty epic indeed. 😅
@@M1tZk1 The temptation to order and collect another chapter of marines, this time Black Templars, was ruthless. My poor wallet reminded me that perhaps it was a decision best left for the future, but my mind has not been able to distance itself from thoughts of crusading.
@@marioprifti6161 Well in case of the Black Templars, it might take another 16 years until a new Codex. If GW is still around. So... embrace while you can. Or just play with the existing models. Who cares if there is a different decal on the shoulder pad? 😉
@@M1tZk1 Honestly, I feel like everytime I feel like I should branch into an entirely separate faction, I feel like I'd rather just play another chapter of Marines. So honestly, may as well just bite the bullet and grab some crusade bois. If nothing else they'll look amazing on the board. Cheers buddy.
I just wanted to thank you. The videos you put out have good topics ,great tips(even for oldtimers like me) and you keep it positive. Without getting into gritty detail- a long time wargaming friend is battling aggresive cancer. We cant game as much now,but to be able to watch your channel (and a few other similar 'good' ones) really helps him stay positive and distracted. Thank you.
This is one of my favourite times of the week, love the format Jay. As for the topic, I get what you're saying and agree, the games themselves are secondary to having a good time. One of the things that brought me back, the memories of the games I played in the past 🙂
What I really enjoy about your videos is that I can see the exitement in your face and hear it in your voice. When you showed us that Black Templar I could feel your exitement.
It's fun to me mostly because of Customization. When I play video games, the experience isn't worth it if I can't customize my character. The tabletop is that, except infinitely greater. I can clip off a space marines arm and just say it got blown off and nothing would change. The setting as well keeps me enthralled. Space marines are a uniquely 40k experience that I love to return to, even in video games without Customization.
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately and I honestly have no clue my only idea was that instead of wasting your time with video games you have something tangible as a reward. These are pre video thoughts I hope I didn’t say anything Jay said in the video.
The interaction is hard to simulate. Like videogames are fun but it's difficult to have a casual game where you can joke and talk, As everyone you meet only cares about winning and unlocking new stuff. I also nearly finished my indomitus box just need to do the bladeguard.
>Like videogames are fun but it's difficult to have a casual game where you can joke and talk Casual fun multiplayer games have been in constant downfall since both the rise in stremaing and e-sports and the removal of splitrscreens. :(
I need to try to have the same mindset that you used for your newer Primaris. Loose some of that control, cut some corners and focus on what's important on the model 👍
Id love if in one episode it was like “this show is filmed in front of a live studio audience” and then the camera turns around and it’s just like Jay’s mom in a folding chair clapping or something like that. Anyway, love this series, keep up the good work
I love Oathmark ... it's such a great ruleset and by beeing miniature agnostic I can bring in all the cool Warhammer Fantasy minis (on 25 mm bases). Love it!
Wow, you should totally do a painting video for those assault intercessors, they look amazing, Im tired of the clean look too but I cannot quite figure out the grim dark weathered style
I consider myself a decent painter (humble pie on standby) but my mind rebels when it comes to weathering and battle damage so I identify with you there. That's the next skill I'm trying to master. I'm also with you there on X-Wing. Resisted getting 2nd edition as much as the extra rules might make it better. And funnily enough, I played A Song of Ice and Fire last night. I think you're right, it's all about the fun, whether its collecting, painting or playing.
Water Slide Decals advice from a model builder... Gloss clear coat where the decal will go first. Place the decal with water or setting solution. Dampen the surface first. Once placed, absorb excess water/solution with the edge of a ripped paper towel. Use a softening solution, applied carefully with a brush. This literally starts to dissolve the film, allowing it to REALLY form to the surface. This can be done multiple times (carefully) as the decal dries if needed. Matte clear coat over the top after all is dry.
If you're looking to get some primaris sized scouts I'd absolutely recommend getting the palanite enforcers kit from necromunda. With some trimming and replacing heads you can kit them out with some first born space marines bolt pistols and chainswords and I certainly think it works for me
I'm a penny pinching person but Warhammer 40K is very special to me. Ive always said and thought that the reason why the little pieces of plastic are still worth it is because its an experience. What faction do I like? What of theirs looks cool? What strategy sounds fun? Then you get the minies and you're asking how will I pose and assemble them and what will the paint scheme and basing be? I think what truly makes them precious is that there's a piece of me in every one I build and paint.
X-wing is fun because you get to put yourself in the pilot seat and fly maneuvers all while imagining your in the Star Wars universe. Super epic for any Star Wars fan. X-wing was my first table top game and I love it, even 2nd edition. I think you will enjoy Star Wars Legions, same epic feel as X-wing when all your minis are painted and on the table battling! I still have yet to play 40K or AOS, but from what I have read of the rules so far, Star Wars Legions isn't that much different... anyway enough rambling, great video! Thanks for all your content. I need to go play a game now!! 😅
I think what makes a game is it's world and the flexibility of customization in that world. Star Wars, 40k, AoS, and Rangers of Shadowdeep have great rule sets, but it's more about the depth of the worlds they're in and the accessibility to create a custom narrative for your forces/characters. This freedom to create builds the engagement of the gamer and forms the community around it. Even non-miniatures games like Magic:the Gathering present creative opportunities in the form of custom formats and even custom art cards. While the mechanical parts of the cards must remain the same, many casual play groups allow and encourage artists to customize the art on the card.
One of these days I picked up some robot minis I bought on AliExpress (they kinda reminded me of Tau Stealth Suits so they would be great proxies for my Kill Team) and straight up painted the with just drybrushing over black primer and I gotta say it was one of my best models ever, I believe I felt the same "wut" that you feeling you had with the assault intercessors lol
Those Templars look amazing. One of my current army projects is a Raven Guard army, the black and white is pretty tricky for sure. I fell in love with Ammo Mig paints black and white paints. So many blacks are dull and coal looking in appearance. I wanted my Raven Guard to have a vibrant black army. What paints to you use for your blacks and white? Also your bases look great too.
I play Crimson Fists (sons of Dorn unite!) and, assault intercessors are a solid unit to keep enemies out of your firing lines. Or if you have 2cp laying around use close-range bolter fire stratagem and turn all bolt weapons for your unit into pistol profiles so they can be fired in close combat as for painting, if you aren't having fun why are you bothering. Remember it is just paint
@@Slenkamure actually, the ignore light cover perk is for the Imperial Fists. We instead have the +1 to hit against units that outnumbered our and exploding 6s with Bolter. In short, we are good against shooting horde
Some games are better than others but what it really boils down to is who you are playing with. There are some people that I could play Monopoly with and have a great time- there are other people who find ways to ruin games by being overly competitive, paying more attention to their phone, or generally being "that guy". Good games are nice, but good friends are what makes the experience special.
Very nice video! Totally agree with the social aspect! I recently started in the whole tabletop wargaming and I started with Legion. Mostly because I am a star wars fan and the game is awesome to play! You should definitely give it a try. Especially with the rules available for free it is easy.
Starship Troopers 'books?' Lol, I didn't even know they'd made a game until a few years ago and I'm a Heinleinist. Seems like they didn't have much marketing.
Slap dash is my painting style my black Templars are painted very simple,I drybrush the armour necron compound over Vallejo black primer I oil was the the minature black after painting the base colours down I then paint a few detains here and there...Matt varnish for the win after weathering job done . I'll have to send a picture into your EOB complete.
I can't really hold you accountable to painting all of Indomitus. I bought it when it came out, so that a friend of mine and I could start playing. With everything that happened last year, I haven't really done much with it yet. So I'm basically just buying up models at the moment in hopes of some day getting to play something. Good thing I enjoy building and painting. I just picked up my copy of Dominion, and I have decided that orks will be my army of choice in 40k after reading and watching videos about them, so I have an ork start collecting box with some gretchin, and meganobz. So I have no room to say anything as I just Jumped in. On a side note I'm trying to get some people locally into the games by getting a paint group going. Then we can all learn, play, and paint using my models so if they decide it's not for them. I'm the only one with more than time invested.
I have all the indomitus space marines painted and all the necrons base coated with characters finished, I really should finish the rest, haven’t touched them in months 😂
You're not wrong, but I think that ASOIAF comment could be hotly debated. Also, Legion is solid. Fight me. I mean, literally, we should play on TTS sometime.
I think people overuse edge highlighting and see it as a measure of skill. But the fact is that in reality, edge highlights aren't as common or as strong, and more importantly, they usually only occur on edges facing a light source (many mini painters seem to put them on every single edge :s)
I have to say Legions system is one of the best systems I've ever played. I enjoy it so much that I quit playing 40k. Don't get me wrong I still love their models, lore and now series but there game is just unenjoyable to me. Btw Legion feels like X-Wing on crack and is super competitive maybe that's why I personally enjoy it so much. Pls Let us know when you played your first game maybe it has the same effect on you.
I've heard that Monopoly was never meant to be good, it was meant to cause arguments and highlight the flaws in capitalism.. which is kind of weird it's so successful. Everybody knows it takes forever to play and causes arguments, but it's one of the most popular board games ever made. And I remember GW in the UK whenever you'd go to a store they were always playing games, having painting evenings, getting people jazzed about it all, involved in the world. So you're probably right about the social aspect. It's like playing pool.. how much do most people care about the game? Most people just hit the balls and sometimes they go in the holes.
I agree on the main reason plazing Tabletop is having fun. I|m out of Warhammer for zeras now, but i enjoy your videos cause of the stuff and story. RUle does not matter for me.
I partially agree that the fun is more on the players... but some games are awfully tedious. I played a couple of turns of Squad Leader (VERY detailed WWII game) with a high school friend... we both liked war games, we both liked combat, we both gave up. It was mind numbing. I think many of us will allow some leeway for bad rules if the game is "inspirational" in some way. Star Wars is a good example - so much lore and emotional investment you're bound to like it if you like the background. Same with WH40K. They still need to be functional, but can get away with a bit of silliness in the nuts and bolts.
Agree on the rules things. Marketing is a big part of it. But there's also a cascade effect that impacts popularity. If someone very influential gets into something and promotes it enthusiastically, it can make a game. I think Privateer Press makes some great rules for games but the models aren't my favorite to paint and their marketing is awful so their games don't do as well as they ought to.
Oils as in Oil paints?? I thought that was the whole point of acrylics you didn't have to faff about with thinners and turpentine and white spirit and nasty chemicals like that?
No one wants to put a gigantic investment into a dead game or one they can't play. They need to have enough of a community to really meet and have fun with people. I'd assume most wargamers are friends with other wargamers because of a specific IP.
I disagree, if the game isn't fun then it won't being a classic, maybe that's why there are no classic wargames, because the new generation of wargamers just care about theme. Having fun because you enjoy the silly company of your friends does not accurately reflect how much fun you're having. Try playing monopoly with strangers and see how much silly fun your gonna have!!!!!
Jay, I'm a gamer of the first-order. GW makes shitty games, mate. Any game that is based on an IGO-UGO system is seriously compromised. I really wish you focused more on other companies and other games. GW makes fine models, but between bad rules and bad business practices, the focus on this one company actually does the hobby harm.
I wonder how alternat activation works out for large amounts of models? I have tried to play large games of X-wing and keeping track of initiative can become challenging.
I feel like 40k is popular because of the whole aspect of building and painting then playing the game. so you have stuff you can do and be involved with on your own, in the building and painting. Then you can have fun with friends playing with those models. So you have social and personal aspect when you don't have friends to play with. IMO
Agreed, and then that plus the IP is killer I mean the IP is what got me interested in 40k, the only other mini game I played was battletech
I was hooked reading a friend's White Dwarf in science class 1987.

keep keeping it real, your a legend
I like Legion more than 40k. I haven't played 9th edition, to be fair, but Legion is fun and I can just go nuts with my conversions and paintjobs.
Picking and choosing which spots to spend more time on is essentially contrast. Points of interest Vs not. And contrast is essential in good art.

I think many of us will allow some leeway for bad rules if the game is "inspirational" in some way. Star Wars is a good example - so much lore and emotional investment you're bound to like it if you like the background. Same with WH40K. They still need to be functional, but can get away with a bit of silliness in the nuts and bolts.
Genestealer Jackal Alpharius? Oh Tzeentch, even Genestealers are Alpharius now? Is Jay Alpharius? AM I ALPHARIUS?
I am Alpharius.
Just curious...If i printed you a correct scale for thet able...god emperor of mankind...would you paint it on camera?
Love this series and FIRST
For me, I want to have fun with my hobby
Do you have any recommendations on a blade/saw for cutting metal minis?
Not sure about how the blade would last or work on metal, but something like this: "TAMIYA 300074111 Handsaw with Handle"
@@nathangerardy2669 thanks I’ll look into it
Who is the live audience?
21:12 100% Gw tornament legal, only used one non Gw bit.
Have you tried Marvel Crisis Core?
Do you stream on youtube? i never see it. Also, DID YOU JUST SAY LEARNING IS FUN @17:08?!?!?!?
Agree on the rules things. Marketing is a big part of it. But there's also a cascade effect that impacts popularity. If someone very influential gets into something and promotes it enthusiastically, it can make a game. I think Privateer Press makes some great rules for games but the models aren't my favorite to paint and their marketing is awful so their games don't do as well as they ought to.
I think especially for 40K it is fluff, like I could talk ten minutes about a single model. It really gives character.
Oils as in Oil paints?? I thought that was the whole point of acrylics you didn't have to faff about with thinners and turpentine and white spirit and nasty chemicals like that?
No one wants to put a gigantic investment into a dead game or one they can't play. They need to have enough of a community to really meet and have fun with people. I'd assume most wargamers are friends with other wargamers because of a specific IP.
Wednesday videos: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut. 😉
Decals are shiny. That's my problem.
Just paint over them after with medium clears that up for me.
Ayyye second babyyyyy
for increased warhammer enjoyment, we have started taking shots whenever a model dies
god save us if we ever play anything other than kill team
"I enjoyed Monopoly once." Unsubscribe.
I disagree, if the game isn't fun then it won't being a classic, maybe that's why there are no classic wargames, because the new generation of wargamers just care about theme.
Having fun because you enjoy the silly company of your friends does not accurately reflect how much fun you're having. Try playing monopoly with strangers and see how much silly fun your gonna have!!!!!
GW Is losing out to 3rd party minis for making the minis we want.
Jay, I'm a gamer of the first-order. GW makes shitty games, mate. Any game that is based on an IGO-UGO system is seriously compromised. I really wish you focused more on other companies and other games. GW makes fine models, but between bad rules and bad business practices, the focus on this one company actually does the hobby harm.
I wonder how alternat activation works out for large amounts of models? I have tried to play large games of X-wing and keeping track of initiative can become challenging.
ok the REAL reasons,,can we get the FAKE reasons on your next video? 🙄
