Even worse when you live outside the US. I'm in the UK and it's £200+ shipping fees, and then large tariff fees once the items land in the UK. It's a shame because I played it on Tabletop Simulator and it is an amazing game, but the prices are ridiculous.
Whenever I think GW prices are bad I remind myself of KD. Not sure exactly who it's made for, but it's definitely someone with at least a mid six-figure salary.
core game is 400, the big expansion is 300 and first wave expansions total up at bout 800 or so. still somehow cheaper than a 40k army with the amount of unique sculpts lol
@@TheLalalaboyz warhammer underworld, cursed city or any army less than 2k points is cheaper than Kingdom death, I also see 90% anime tiddie models on the site which is lame.
I'm sure it's difficult to resist invoking the death of warhammer in your title when you know it's going to double your ad revenue, so I can't blame the guy, but yes, it's very annoying.
Comparatively speaking in 40k 400 gets you a little under two Battleforces. In KDM the base game can be played for years solo, add in expansions (which go for pretty cheap on black friday) and that lengthens it even moreso
Sadly you kinda need to these days as the vast majority of hobby interested people is first and foremost interested in Warhammer or if you’re lucky dnd
Any mini painter that does mostly GW stuff is bound by the popularity and algorithm to continue doing so on the threat of zero exposure and hurting your channel’s potential growth as the algorithm stops promoting you. So I’ll take any other miniatures game representation if it’s in this form, as it’s better than nothing
It's a real shame because it kinda suggests the game doesn't stand on its own merits. I thought it looked cool here, went to the website to check the figures and sadly it focuses a bit too much on the pinup stuff for my taste.
While I don't play the game at all, I can tell ya that the base game and the major expansion don't really focus much on the gratuitous pin ups (Still a ton of sexuality like the gambler's chest nudist giants) The pinups are really just alt figures and a dosh making product for em by what I know of the series.
Kingdom Death: That one game sitting on my shelf waiting for the day I feel good enough for it's Miniatures. (I ordered the Base Game during the Pandemic and the two following years a fear extra Bits. And yes: The word of mouth in form from a few TH-cam-Videos was the reason I got interested in the whole thing in the first place....)
For me it wasn't IT, but a TV show called Tales From The Dark Side. The episodes themselves weren't too bad, but the intro had given me an insane level of fear for aspen groves.
I've said this before, Jon, but I'll say it again - I really appreciate that you share your insights into what keeps you motivated, and the things that save you time and effort. So often TH-camrs seem totally unaware of this aspect of the hobby (probably because their time IS 'work time'), but you always seem to keep it in mind. That's why I keep coming back. Keep up the great work!
It’s awesome you were able to get your hands on the killennium butcher before release. It’s been fun watching this model jump up $1000 over the month to now be sitting at $10,000,000 with a countdown clock to launch
yeah not gonna lie, that click bait title and the whole stick was pretty meh. That shitting on GW minis kinda lost it's appeal, and I would also be pretty invested in game I spent probably 700-1000$. I get that he's passionate about it, but it's a super heavy bias. The miniature market is though and I wish them all the best, but not doing any kind of marketing besides word-of-mouth... that is damn risky. And setups that are more grim derp than Warhammer just don't do it for me.
"You can see by the mound of Human torsos that he's perched upon, that he's a Bad guy" My Good Guy Space Marine perched upon a mound of Heretics Torsos doesn't understand the correlation.
Painting KD:M minis feels more like painting something made by a person than something made by an Organization. Thats a feeling I really enjoy but I can appreciate not finding value in that.
I have been eyeing kingdom death for ages and this is the push I needed to start it. Thanks mate! It's good to shine a lantern on other games that deserve it
Shout-out to that left thigh pauldron thingy behind the sword. The lighting effects are on point. Crazy how a minimalist approach like this can convey so much atmosphere and emotion.
Black knight box too!!! Loving the kdm content. Your style along with direct imput from poots is a match made in heaven. I got the base game a few years ago and a handful of expansions, includung the giga lion vignette. That giga lion is my favourite model of all time and my fVourite paint job too. The game is a big investment but contains so much content and longevity that it is most definitely value for money
Beautiful paint work and agree Kingdom Death is a labour of love but it shows in the quality of the components and the game play which is not only fun but is bursting with atmosphere
I have no one to play with so I never got into the game. I saw it on Kickstarter I think years and years ago, I skipped it. No gaming group. What is that boxed game that we see at @17:03 on the left?
Shipping into canada sucks right now. They're getting a canadian warehouse set back up for major content (core, expansions, gambler chest, this killenium stuff)
Really enjoy your stuff Jon and I learn a lot from it and it always helps provide perspective...but the title on this was pretty disingenuous and that it's another ad video is aggravating. I know you have to keep the lights on bud but this isn't it...
I feel like this video is also a great example of what you can do with a limited color pallete. You said you wanted to stick to warm colors, and it turned out awesome
Kingdom Death was influenced heavily by D&D, Berserk, and Monster Hunter. It's a great game and my play group plays it the most these days instead of 40k.
He didn’t do a good job of explaining kingdom death, it’s more of a deet system with cards as AI and Hunter events versus D&D. And the whole having babies thing is combining one person skills with another person skills to hopefully have a child with both skills and if you roll really low, they all die
A lot of their best not anime/pin-up stuff is in the main games, unfortunately. I would have bought two or three extra Phoenix by this point if I could buy them separately. But, the model to price ratio isn't too bad for the whole game.
Most of their actual monsters are in the game and game expansions. Individual models are mostly all promos and range from slightly fan servicey to "do NOT let anyone see your screen while you browse".
Wow. This miniature is so creepy. The designer really did a great job telling a story. I think your fluorescent yellow really did help at the end too . Do more videos about kingdom death the game. I want to learn more
Awesome and often overlooked element to add objective markers to a static board setup! Loved the video! Keep it up and cheers to approaching 2k subs !!
Kingdom Death has always interested me with the game's aesthetic, but I honestly can't seem to figure out where to start! The products on the game's website is quite cluttered feeling, leaving an idiot like me quite confused...
Get the base game if you want to play the game. If you want a mini to paint get one that looks fun to paint. The website is cluttered IMO because "they make that they are inspired to make for their art project Kingdom death" rather than having a "product stream" of new releases. Which I think makes it confusing, please don't feel dumb.
That sounds exactly like my childhood! I'm a product of old DandD. I started into roleplaying games at 6 with a game called Rolemaster. Overcomplicated, to say the least, but it was what was being played around me. I am a roleplayer/Dungeon Master at heart. Kingdom Death miniatures look up my alley for sure. Just don't know if I can afford that price.... Beautifully painted miniature! The lighting is magnificent!
Funnily enough he kind of looks like Ushoran from behind :D Nice end effect. KD:M really interests me, but idea of so many nicely detailed minis makes it overwhelming :D
Yeah I wanted to get some of their minis after painting the survivors you see here for a client...but like most independent companies you can't just buy a few of their minis you have to buy the entire game, and I couldn't justify doing that.
Black Friday sale is unreal and worth a look, usually around 50% off. If you don't shoot for the full game it would be a great way to get stand alone expansion minis at a more accessible price. Ebay may be viable too, but Black Friday would likely be a better deal
I sold this game a few years ago as money was tight. You can bet your derriere that I will be getting it again as it is a truly glorious experience to take new people through. Give them no clues as to how brutal it is and watch as they roll on an injury table and find the character has lost an arm or has a fear of the dark and now has to be a people maker at the settlement now 😂 Great vid.
I have SO many kingdom death minis between the core box, gamblers chest, vignettes, expansions, and pinups that I feel bad that I'm only using them for one game. I really want to do a mordheim-like game with the minis when I'm not using them for the game proper.
I wasn't a part of the initial set of backers for the game since I got into board/miniature gaming pretty late, but it's been quite the experience learning about the setting, gameplay and enjoying the amazing sculpts of KDM. It's an amazing game and setting for dark fantasy/horror fans. And as mentioned in the comments, it's an absolute treat for fans of Berserk, Dark Souls, etc.
Then you should try One Page Rules Grimdark Future. It's almost beer & pretzel wargame where you could play big battle in 1,5 hour. Impossible with GW rules.
I am painting my Kingdom Death in the same sort of style! I'm so excited to get that new Vignette at some point. I bought everything for the KDM Kickstarter 1.5, and it has been an insane journey and worth every penny.
Loving the KDM content! As someone who's mostly drifted away from GW into crowdfunded board games, it's really something special when it comes to the hobby itch. Aeon Trespass Odyssey and Oathsworn: Into the Deepwood are worth a look if you're not familair. The mini's are all preassembled, but really good quality with that in mind. If you want a tease of an upcoming dark-fi kdm-esque title check out Three of Ghosts :)
Poot's stuff has been way off the wall since day one. Like you, not a manga fan, but a lot of hit minis are a lot of fun. I painted a few for a client many years ago when the first game cam out and wondered why they all had lamps. Now I know. Thank you 🙂
I followed Kingdom Death and Adam from the beginning. Even with the 4-5 year kickstarter delays and I don't care. The love and detail those guys pour into their models is simply amazing. The artwork, the sculpts, the game design, it's all stunning. Please do more KDM content, I might just break Spidicules out of his box to paint ...
Really love the look of this mini and your paint job was awesome! Still haven't made a hard choice on WH, but love all the options there are now for games and just enjoying getting back into painting all the cool things! Thanks for all the vids :D
More kingdom death content my man! This game has a great release model for painters. Low model count releases that you can really spend time on each model really reduces the “get it on the table” word from other army games
Not sure I understand all the hate you are getting in the comments, it was a solid video, very cool paint job, and fun dive into a game you obviously love and enjoy. Additionally now get to work with the creators to spread to other people is probably pretty fulfilling. On top of that, not sure if intentional, but this type of video just sort of spreads the vibe that no matter what you are playing or painting that there is probably a game out there for you that will bring you that same joy.
As someone who got into warhammer just these last 2 years I don’t think I could ever drop it, I love the books, the painting, the gaming and table top gaming. I think everything involved with it makes it forever lasting for me.
@@photonfartsqueeze6694 Yea but reading "can't keep up" In my mind goes to you leaving the game for something better, I don't really see something beating it overall for me is all.
Great video! Love seeing kingdom death get some more love from bigger content creators. Plus you’ve been a fan for years so it’s awesome to see someone who genuinely enjoys the game get to cover new stuff for it!
Hi ninjon, love the video and I really want to get some of these minis just to paint up! Question though about the FW white ink. What PSI in your compressor do you use and what needle size do you use? I’m having hell of a trouble with the ink not working the way I see in videos when going through my airbrush :(
I really had to think about it as it's own stand alone hobby to rationalize getting it. Is that what it is rather than just a big beautiful boardgame? For some people I think so but not everyone.
@@goblinry I could see classifying it that way or as a lifestyle game. For me though, if there was an entry point at the $150 range I could see getting into it and then building up the collection from there. It's just that the jumping on point tends to be around $400 that I get stopped.
The good thing about kingdom death is that its a self contained game, even if it doesn't stick around it will still be playable since you dont need another "player" but just another person (unlike some mini based games we know of)
I think folks are forgetting that jon is a pretty knowledgeable marketing fella so he knows that clickbait gets the money easier. Nothing wrong with some clickbait TH-cam money pandering when the video itself is good imo
I just have to say to you Jon, I've been watching you, your channel and your growth as an artist, a teacher, an entertainer, and a great ambassador of this wonderful and amazing hobby. This hobby, loved by so many people, accepting of all types, uniting them all with a common passion. I truly enjoy watching all of your content, and have grown to look forward to it for countless positive reasons. Keep pumping positive vibes out into the world, and you see those vibes come right back 10 fold. Peace bro ✌️
Anybody know what display case/shelf/cabinet that was that he had the minis in at the very beginning of the video? Whatever it’s called looks really awesome
Yeah people are expecting the butcher vignette either this month or next. Don't sleep on the white gigalion though, that is also a very fun paintjob imo
I think the thing the Ninjon does best, is grasp of colour. These colours are always so complementary and he seems to just pick them off the shelf just by eye. It’s very impressive. I don’t feel that he ever ever clashes with his colours. Saying that though, the camera is still going out of focus on closeups.
Having watched this without sound since the painting is what calms me before bed, I have decided that this character only likes eating humans from the waist down and then decorates with the top half. Area ging them in peaceful positions, just to freak the next guy out.
As someone who really enjoys painting minis but doesnt play warhammer and has never painted a warhammer mini, i always like seeing painters paint something other than warhammer. I wish more people painted fantasy models
This was a very nice model and paint job. Nice and easy to follow for a hack like me, would like to give this a try. I'd rather not have the click-baity titles, but I understand the deferral to the algorithm gods. After all, GW has buried dozens of games (many of which I have enjoyed) through its 35+ y. From Ral Partha's "all things Dark and Dangerous" to the early Battletech models that resisted paint sticking to them to many of the new more specialized models (about to start Miniac's vampire and an Iron Maiden Eddie Model), this is really a great time to get started in the hobby.
i need more of the minis talking to eachother and i didnt know i did
Came here to make this exact comment
It's very Python. In the best way.
@@elfmastercool4734Yep. Just need to throw in some semprini.

Kingdom Death looks rad, but the starter set i saw was like $800 with some of the expansions are $1k+ on their site, so that's a hard pass

Click bate ahoy
Are you new to TH-cam? 😅
This is SOP in TH-cam land. I would have watched Jon’s video either way, because he’s an absolute legend and joy to in our hobby
Welcome to TH-cam. Clickbait everywhere.
"to understand, you still need the $400 base set" the fucking WHAT
the amount of game in the core game, more than justifies the big price tag :)
Compared to warhammer, 400 is cheap.
Comparatively speaking in 40k 400 gets you a little under two Battleforces. In KDM the base game can be played for years solo, add in expansions (which go for pretty cheap on black friday) and that lengthens it even moreso
Apparently have to mention Warhammer in the title just for the algorithm? LOL
Sadly you kinda need to these days as the vast majority of hobby interested people is first and foremost interested in Warhammer or if you’re lucky dnd

Dude! You really need to get it to the table. If it chimes with you, it’ll suck you in like no other game can.
I love the note about starting the dry brush from the source of light! Really useful tip!! ❤
KDM is the game if I could only play one game, that would be it. So glad to get some painting content that is focused on Kingdom Death Monster
It’s not the only game I play, but it’s the one I’d take to a desert island.
Can confirm, watched the IT mini series as a kid, did not take a shower for a month. Was afraid to use the bathroom.
For me it wasn't IT, but a TV show called Tales From The Dark Side. The episodes themselves weren't too bad, but the intro had given me an insane level of fear for aspen groves.

This mini would have been amazing to try with a bit of musou black or black2.0
yeah so all i can find on their website is weird anime girl pinup stuff?
And monsters.
Also a weird anime girl with a skirt made of dicks
Yeah KDM has monthly store drops and pretty limited quantities so most of their stuff other than the pinups sells out really fast
A lot of their best not anime/pin-up stuff is in the main games, unfortunately. I would have bought two or three extra Phoenix by this point if I could buy them separately.

Aeon Trespass Odyssey and Oathsworn: Into the Deepwood are worth a look if you're not familair. The mini's are all preassembled, but really good quality with that in mind. If you want a tease of an upcoming dark-fi kdm-esque title check out Three of Ghosts :)
"Fuck GW"
constant GW content
ok
Yeah, geezers a clickbait dickhead
That's an awesome fig, with a scary ass back story.
Very cool paint job given that back story.
Edgy thumbnail pretty on the nose dude - your videos are great, you don't need to do this.
Poot's stuff has been way off the wall since day one. Like you, not a manga fan, but a lot of hit minis are a lot of fun. I painted a few for a client many years ago when the first game cam out and wondered why they all had lamps. Now I know. Thank you 🙂
I followed Kingdom Death and Adam from the beginning. Even with the 4-5 year kickstarter delays and I don't care. The love and detail those guys pour into their models is simply amazing. The artwork, the sculpts, the game design, it's all stunning. Please do more KDM content, I might just break Spidicules out of his box to paint ...
Really love the look of this mini and your paint job was awesome! Still haven't made a hard choice on WH, but love all the options there are now for games and just enjoying getting back into painting all the cool things! Thanks for all the vids :D
I like the skit at the beginning. Very entertaining.
More kingdom death content my man! This game has a great release model for painters. Low model count releases that you can really spend time on each model really reduces the “get it on the table” word from other army games
I do love me some ninjon/kdm content, hell yeah
Not sure I understand all the hate you are getting in the comments, it was a solid video, very cool paint job, and fun dive into a game you obviously love and enjoy.
Additionally now get to work with the creators to spread to other people is probably pretty fulfilling. On top of that, not sure if intentional, but this type of video just sort of spreads the vibe that no matter what you are playing or painting that there is probably a game out there for you that will bring you that same joy.
I love ALL Ninjon videos!
As someone who got into warhammer just these last 2 years I don’t think I could ever drop it, I love the books, the painting, the gaming and table top gaming. I think everything involved with it makes it forever lasting for me.
Same here! - I was looking for something to replace Star Wars... need something to replace Marvel and DC still... lol
You don’t have to drop a game to play another game. I play several mini games.
@@photonfartsqueeze6694 Yea but reading "can't keep up" In my mind goes to you leaving the game for something better, I don't really see something beating it overall for me is all.
@@ZengiXoung Sure. I’m glad you are having a great time!
Could we get a video on painting the starting survivors and the white lion please!🙏🏽
Great video! Love seeing kingdom death get some more love from bigger content creators. Plus you’ve been a fan for years so it’s awesome to see someone who genuinely enjoys the game get to cover new stuff for it!
The Butcher may be a bad guy but he isn't necessarily a bad guy.
He is just trying to live is best life like the rest of us.
Hi ninjon, love the video and I really want to get some of these minis just to paint up! Question though about the FW white ink. What PSI in your compressor do you use and what needle size do you use? I’m having hell of a trouble with the ink not working the way I see in videos when going through my airbrush :(
Same.
The Algorithm: “I prefer thumbnails including an overlay of the presenter’s face showing strong emotion.”
Ninjon: “… K.”
Solid content! One thing that I really like about your videos is that the music/scoring relates so well to the models you paint.
What additional challenges would the use of dry brushing instead of air brushing present?
Great vid. I’d love to see more KDM!
Oh yes, they float. They all float down here.
Next up, Atnas. Love to hear that background story. Ha. Butcher’s Hack City is scary!
3:04 “I understand that this is faint and hard to see”
Me turning up the brightness on my phone 😏😎
Ugh fuck. I was going to skip the butcher vignette (because we're already getting another butcher eventually) but this is a perfect ad...
Love KDM, just wish there was a better price point to jump into the game. I say this as someone who's spent close to $10k on board games.
I really had to think about it as it's own stand alone hobby to rationalize getting it. Is that what it is rather than just a big beautiful boardgame? For some people I think so but not everyone.
@@goblinry I could see classifying it that way or as a lifestyle game. For me though, if there was an entry point at the $150 range I could see getting into it and then building up the collection from there. It's just that the jumping on point tends to be around $400 that I get stopped.
@@calebokeefe376 100% agree, I was just trying to help some one rationalize making an irrational purchase 🤑
I hope Kingdom Death sticks around for a long time. I just don't have the time and money right now to invest in it. But damn do I want to play it.
The good thing about kingdom death is that its a self contained game, even if it doesn't stick around it will still be playable since you dont need another "player" but just another person (unlike some mini based games we know of)
@@JoeSmith-oy3hk amen! Maybe once I eventually paint up all the stuff I bought for Violent Dark, which is similar but lower quality sculpts.
I think folks are forgetting that jon is a pretty knowledgeable marketing fella so he knows that clickbait gets the money easier. Nothing wrong with some clickbait TH-cam money pandering when the video itself is good imo
I just have to say to you Jon, I've been watching you, your channel and your growth as an artist, a teacher, an entertainer, and a great ambassador of this wonderful and amazing hobby.
This hobby, loved by so many people, accepting of all types, uniting them all with a common passion.
I truly enjoy watching all of your content, and have grown to look forward to it for countless positive reasons.
Keep pumping positive vibes out into the world, and you see those vibes come right back 10 fold.
Peace bro ✌️
Yay, more KDM content!
Anybody know what display case/shelf/cabinet that was that he had the minis in at the very beginning of the video? Whatever it’s called looks really awesome
Where i can find that butcher miniature there is only one vignette box - gigalion.
Has not been released yet, 6 days time I think :)
Yeah people are expecting the butcher vignette either this month or next. Don't sleep on the white gigalion though, that is also a very fun paintjob imo
There's a countdown for it on the Kingdom Death store. Just over 6 days left.
It'll be available on February 29th
Thanks guys!
Gorgeous painting!!! ❤😊❤
KDM models are just pure *chef's kiss*.
Kingdom Death has atmosphere in spades. God choice.
This would have been a good project to use something like Black 4.0
I think the thing the Ninjon does best, is grasp of colour. These colours are always so complementary and he seems to just pick them off the shelf just by eye. It’s very impressive. I don’t feel that he ever ever clashes with his colours.
Saying that though, the camera is still going out of focus on closeups.
Having watched this without sound since the painting is what calms me before bed, I have decided that this character only likes eating humans from the waist down and then decorates with the top half. Area ging them in peaceful positions, just to freak the next guy out.
My buddy fully backed all the KDM ks campaigns. It's one ofnour favorite games
As someone who really enjoys painting minis but doesnt play warhammer and has never painted a warhammer mini, i always like seeing painters paint something other than warhammer. I wish more people painted fantasy models
This was a very nice model and paint job. Nice and easy to follow for a hack like me, would like to give this a try.
I'd rather not have the click-baity titles, but I understand the deferral to the algorithm gods. After all, GW has buried dozens of games (many of which I have enjoyed) through its 35+ y. From Ral Partha's "all things Dark and Dangerous" to the early Battletech models that resisted paint sticking to them to many of the new more specialized models (about to start Miniac's vampire and an Iron Maiden Eddie Model), this is really a great time to get started in the hobby.
“Hey guys. This is the end of Warhammer. Right? Clickbait video. Views guys. “
