The first video of 2020 and it's the biggest project I've done to date Leave a comment telling us what you thought of the video and I might put it in the next episode : )
Breaking my mind on the amount of board games they seem to have vs flgs I've been to that have been one of the following: 1. Games workshop 2. Mainly Comics 3. Mainly Magic 4. Generalist stores that have a smattering of manga, comics, board games, wargames specifically, trading cards, figurines, and funko pops.
Jesus christ matt this is amazing, its actually stunning how far you’ve come from the actual champion spotlights. Keep up the work this is beautiful. Well done and congrats on getting here.
@@TuriGamer yeah his champ spotlights are fun, but it's nice to see our boi do what he wanted for a long time. Investing his time and money for a tabletop game that he never got his hands on, and now he finally has the funds and manpower to play it is a huge milestone for him and I'm glad we would be able to see him play it.
@@TuriGamer not really, the biggest surge of his fan base were mostly teenagers from few years ago, when they are all heading into the next stage of their lifes, there is a significant amount of audience who would appreciate more serious content.
"The Tyranids are a huge inspiration for the Zerg" if the stories are true, the first Starcraft game was supposed to be a Warhammer 40k game, however the developers fell out with Games Workshop, So the developers reused the assets of the game and created StarCraft.
Protos were most likely based on Eldar, their armor and technology having a very close look and feel, even if the species designs are entirely different.
Blizzard first rts was supossed to be a warhammer fantasy game, but GW pulled the plug on the project and that game became the well know warcraft series. Both warcraft and starcraft are inspired by Warhammer.

@@puffdufftv1904 The setting is grim and dark and scary. Yet the Tau are noble a bright and hopeful. They are also grossly naive and surrounded on all sides by a universe that they don't yet understand is really a hellish place.
The Emperor has blessed you with his holy editing skills. You're really jumping up the editing ladder. Keep going, the quality is worth it. Honestly though, you should've probably started with Kill Team. Might've saved you a few dollars... Might've... Oh god I've spent soo much.
@@PedroRodrigues-je6xp That'd it'd never happen as GW really cares about milking things. I'd like a online source beyond pdf's of books. Then again, I'm the kind of person that prefers to have a book in hand. He's damn right about the books though. 90% of the contents is lore and mini's showcasing.
@@Starman_Dx I generally buy sets like "dark imperium" for rule book and sell off the faction I am not playing. (in my case I play both). Then I buy start collecting and buy the iPad version of the rules cause it's cheaper and automatically gets updated apparently. If you're playing in a group only one person needs the rule book honestly. Just use battlescribe for rules of if you want a genuine book then yeah get it from another store or iPad or something. I also buy my models from other places unless it's a hero model I'll buy direct from GW. Ebay, facebook market place etc. for second hand models. I invest time to strip old models and repaint them. I aim to save at least 40% from GW retail. What faction do you collect? I am currently aiming to do the biggest imperial fist army that will overshadow Valraks all painted too if I can squeeze time in (not procrastinate)
@@ThanhLe-ur7jp Oh, I had battle scribe long before I had a rule book. Heck, GW offers the 40k rule (just the rules) as a pdf for free. As to what faction I play, one that requires me to buy third party models because GW refuses to update the line: Eldar. And no, plastic banshees don't count. Also Imperial Guard, but I refuse to play them until GW brings back my kasrkin. And even with them I use third party, hell, I'm using tiger tanks and german super heavies for kitbash tanks to fit my theme. Really wish the site that had 40k versions of tiger and panther tanks would sell them again. And good luck out fistin' Valrak. To be fair, we all know his army is secretly an alpha legion army :)
@@Starman_Dx Damn that's sick dude. I actually thought about adding a WW2 Era division of imperial guard to my fists for fun but I decided nah. I will attempt to outdo valrak with THIRD company Imperial Fists. At this stage my army is shy of 10k points with more on the way because I want a fellblade and falchion as well as a few more talons of dreadnoughts. I got so much to paint I'm internally crying right now at the amount of yellow I need to use.
So of course this video is gloriously developed and is certainly the single most high-quality video Matt has ever made on this channel, but I've a request to make for when we actually get to the game: use sound and voice lines from the Dawn of War video games in tandem with the armies you're using. For instance, if one unit attacks, edit in a line that that specific unit would say from the games. This will utterly maximize the presentation potential of that section of the series in my opinion, but hey, you do you.
I second this. Dawn of War 1 & 2 both not only have amazing voice acting, but absolutely iconic meme-lines. If you're hoping to integrate existing 40k fans into your subscriber base, tossing out a "DO YOU HEAR THE VOICES TOO?!" will make each of us instantly nut, all the time, every time
I totally get the whole "we're going big" but this as they say in the video, this is the WORST way possible to learn 40k. If you are interested in 40k, DO NOT DO THIS. Start small, learn small. Purchase small. Love the video, you guys are cool.
Jason Wilson start by watching If The Emperor Had A Text To Speech Device. It’s a fun way to learn the lore in a way where it doesn’t take itself as seriously. And it’s really funny
looks very funny. Can't you come to the club and try someone else's army? Why buy just like that? Approach experienced players and they will let you play and teach you the basics. Read books, delve into lore. This is how we do it.
There is an old saying: "Steal a mans wallet and he will be poor for a week, Introduce him to 40k and he will be poor for a lifetime." Have fun with the game. I myself could never play due to prices and no GW shop in my town.
Buying eBay second-hand or sprues only is (or was) a great way to save. Also going to the forums (dakkadakka, bolter and chainsword, warseer) is a good resource to find stores and other players.
No wonder we haven't seen a lot of content lately, you've been focusing on this monster project! Looks like the effort is paying off, because this is some top tier content dood!
Me: So an average army is 2000 points. Wife: It's how much?!?!? Me: 2000 points? wife: Oh thank god, i thought you said you spent $2000 on this. Me: uhhhhhhh .
@WgoodT - with good taste be afraid! (It's really fun if you like model building and painting and the game itself is also pretty cool if you have people who have similar casual or tournament level interest as you)
@WgoodT - with good taste the start collecting boxes are actually really good values. My best advice if you plan to get back into it is to get your main force from those and pad it out with the less price efficient deals. What factions did you play if you don't mind me asking?
Fark me been collecting for like 15 years. I had a Guard, Empire, Lizardmen, Beastmen and Dwarfs. Large armies. Anyhow I got the shits with GW and sold them all. Now I play other games. Star Wars Legion and The Walking Dead, and Warpath.
@@badbishop1049 Yeah but I was smart enough not to buy any of those end times books or stuff. I was holding off buying anything new for a while and when I saw the new AOS releases I was like fark it I'm out!
@@Vulkanprimarch As soon as I saw most of your armies were from fantasy/aos, I knew exactly what happened to you. One of my friends sold his entire empire army for 80 bucks after Aos dropped because he was so pissed, lol. I don't blame you. I dont think GW will be making that mistake anytime soon again though. It turned off so many players from the game when they did that.
@@badbishop1049 I sold my armies for a lot more than $80 but still it was not even half what I paid retail for them. And these were really nice fully painted armies. But when they collect dust for years you stop giving a shit.
"How much have you spent, on Warhammer, so far?" "HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Perfect answer. I laughed too, when I heard the question. I'm probably nearing five grand. I don't even really play. I collect, build, then paint when I don't feel like I'm going to fuck it all up.
@@EbonFang_92 yes, I don't have a way to separate the totals anymore. Putting it into perspective, the only thing I DON'T play is Iron Warriors and Alpha Legion.
A full flyer eldar list is stupid. One of my buddies went out and spent a bunch on eldar flyers to build an alaitoc army. However he forgot boots on the ground rule and I would never target his flyers just the few paltry units of infantry he had and after I wiped them out on the first or second turn he would automatically lose because all he had left was flyers on the table. He wised up eventually and evened out his army between infantry and flyers.
I still come back to re-watch this documentary series once in a while. The reason I decided to start taking the steps to get into the physical side of the hobby. I just wish that there was another similar project, seeing completely new person to the hobby getting into it
So for an easier way to calculate point values, grab an app called BattleScribe. It's not 100% reliable, but it's good to keep lists and point values down.
@@ullashong6772 Still good to mention to anybody reading through the comments looking to start 40k themselves, Battlescribe was never mentioned by name.
I was just thinking today, ‘Jesus it’s been a while since Matt has posted, I hope he‘s doing okay.’ And then I scroll through my TH-cam inbox and I see this. Holy shit it was worth the wait; you have really out done yourself this time. I really hope you keep up the quality content throughout the new year and on into the future.
Can we just bless Matt for all that he's done for all of us through this decade? We're rooting for you, MagikarpUsedFly!! PS- Adepta Sinoritas are the best! AKA- What if.... and just a thought, what if...... they tried out Dungeons and Dragons? Wouldn't cost as much as they paid to play Warhammer 40K. HUGE D&D fan and when I saw this video, the thought just occurred to me that this is quite the leap. That would be something I believe we all would be not only satisfied to wait for and watch, but would find hilarious as to see what the group would make in terms of characters and how they'll act like. I would understand if that might not be something they would be interested in, it was just a thought and no matter what they do. We'll always love them
I’m 21 and have started this since I was 8 years old honestly one of the best hobbies a person could pick up people and shop keepers are all extremely friendly and the community is a great one hope you lads had a good experience with this
"The community is a great one" GW: *Has downright predatory pricing* The community: Kalm GW: *Changes the logo a bit* The community: WHAT IS THIS SORCERY?!
Your camera and editing skills have improved so much since I originally started watching you. I’ve had friends that have talked about warhamer 40K but the game was always intimidating because of how much time, money, and learning I would have to commit to it. I’m hoping to learn more about it from watching y’all play and see if it may be something I could be interested in in the future.
@Kayaze You don't see the appeal of possibly creating a personal army like one made up of glamorous, drug-addled super soldiers that shoot people down with electrical guitars while being backed up by dinosaurs with gatling guns? You get something to play with friends while having a hell of a shelf display.
I have watched this series and Bricky's faction explained videos so much. Can never get tired of these. I hope we get more Warhammer documentaries soon
We love you Matt, Super fucking stoked to see this expand and grow, I love the 40k universe and to see my favorite youtuber get into it makes me super happy.
And every three years they come out with a completely, new edition, just so everyone that wants to play in tournaments HAS to spend a butt load of money on alllll den books! Agane and agane and agane and agane!
So at around 11:30 when he compared the Tau to "the other human factions" i could almost feel the deep sigh of dissapointment from the local ordo Xenos inquisitor as he reached for the exterminatus button.
What's your point count at I got around 10 000 points of just space marines plus butch of guard custodes/sisters of silence and sisters of battle grey knights and imperial knights gonna get some mechanicus next
The lore nerd and history teacher in me wants me to correct the incorrect lore and history parts. The 20 year GW vet in me is super excited for more players.
Taking the rules online would be a great move to make the hobby more accessible and lower the learning curve/barrier to entry. The community wants it badly, but selling the books makes the company a lot of money so convincing them the trade will be worth it is difficult. With the massive growth the hobby is about to get from content like this, plus the new TV show and other media in the works, if ever there was a time to do it now is the time
@@sirbearicus4755 Selling Codecies as they are currently designed in 40k makes GW $0, as effectively each of these books is a model sale they are not making at least, and more likely multiple model sales because of the lack of ability to experiment with models pre-investiture.
So glad someone mentioned Infinity. The fact that my money is only invested in purchasing models and paint and i'm not forced to buy any books has helped alot. Also having a wiki page you can look up on the fly when playing a game is great.
@@Mat_Rural you can just buy less minis, it’s not an obligation to get a 2k army, it’s better to start small and work your way up with time. I bought like 1200 pts and I now understand that it is quite a lot when you start, so for a beginner, I would recommend 500 pts. And 500 pts is a start collecting box... so it’s not that expensive.
i came into this going "ah something to put on in the back ground" about 10 minutes in it became the most absorbed video ive gotten into in a long long time. This was great stuff matt!!
@@SuaveNerd2000 I feel like they've already finished and played the game but the video clips are taking time to edit (Based off of the footage in the intro of the video)
@@mosswillow4419 He's joking that $3000 is only enough to buy one army. I haven't played 40k but I love the lore. I play a lot of MTG and this reminds me of newbie me being hesitant to drop $50+ on a deck and now I'm thousands of dollars deep.
Super amateurs. I easily have 10k in my garage at least. Got my stuff used and new from Ebay, FLGS, online FLGS and I use non-GW stuff. Actually painting thanks to the quarantine when not working.
@@atonesb5251 ooohh. Thank you for explaining, didn't get it right away xD. I buy my atmie separatelyx expanding overtime so ig I don't really know the price of mine xP
As someone who's been interested in Warhammer 40k but never dove into it, this video is fantastic. Not only does it showcase great content creators as well as Matt's brilliant editing expertise, it shows a side of table top gaming that I didn't even know the full scope of. Looking forward to future episodes!
As someone who just got into 40k let me tell you, this is how I felt when I spent $500 on the game. Im so excited to see them painting all these figures and how they all play. Oh man and the thought of possibly something like bat-reps from you guys would be so awesome too.
I painted mine about a week or two ago my 9th painted model and he is absolutely disgusting, and it is beautiful, good to see another person spreading the love of grandfather nurgle and this video has made my day
The one absolute bonus of having him is how easy his is to magnetize, so your never stuck in just one of his weapon load outs. I waited a long time for him to show and I’ve never been more happy with him...and, like y’all, he’s one of the first I’ve ever painted. All praise to Grandpappy working hard before his cauldron.
"I like Protoss, so I play Tau" I think Eldar is more like Protoss. They have the magic, using dead warriors in war machines, more close combat-oriented. Feels like Eldar-Protoss thematic is stronger than Protoss-Tau. Lore of Protoss-Eldar is also kind of similar (Old civilization dying out, Good and Evil versions, the outcast-faction who just wants everyone to focus on the real threat) Maybe it's just the standard colours that make the Protoss-Tau resemblance strong.. That said I really hope you enjoy your armies!
When you think about it, the Protoss-Tau resemblance is not that far off, the Protoss and the Tau have their own Ideologies that they follow. Protoss following the Khala while the Tau follow the greater good. Any protoss/tau that do not follow their ideologies are shunned from their people and branded as heretics. The Nerazim-Farsight Encale resemblance is also not that far off since both of them despise the ideology followed by the rest of their civilization and their are viewed as traitors by their rest people for not following it. Maybe protoss is a weird mix between tau and eldar since it does resemble both races in some ways
@@crownguard2445 when youre throwing tropes into the soup to make a scifi race, there are a number of fairly popular ones. The Eldar and Protoss share a large number of those tropes. The only thing shared with the Tau is the overarching ideology, which are entirely different things, as the Tau are Feudalist/fascist (They get called communist because people have very poor understanding of political ideology, combined with the actual similarities between communism and fascism, people see the lack of tyranny and assume communism, except its clearly a Feudal or fascist when you know where to look) Where as the Protoss are moreso a theocracy, with the castes serving moreso as census data with the heirarchy being shared between castes while not placing once caste sovereign over others except within specific functionaries of The Khala as a whole. In reality, except for their use of Klingon Heirarchy, the Protoss are actually closest to the Orks
Online Database...never gonna happen, GW has mastered maximum money extraction per victim.Btw, you do realise that the base game is probably going to be updated to 9th edition soon, and you'll have to buy all the books all over again.
@@johnhop818 Yeah but the game side isn't. And Matt's viewers are all gamers. So having those that are interested in a warhammer game is great, cause there's full all and from the little of them that there are only 4 of them are good.
@@johnhop818 I meant hoping it'd become as massive as something like D&D 5e currently is it's a cool hobby (though GW has gotta pull their head outta their ass sometimes, much more so than WotC, but the game itself can still be fun)
The best way to get into GW games has always been getting the starter box set. You get all the rules you need plus 2x 750 pt armies for less than £100!
I love how they just went guns blazing. Should we just get some of our favorite units, and start small at 500 or 1000 points? Nope! 2000 points and $3000 right off the bat. In all seriousness though, this was extremely good, your production quality and editing are why your one of my favorite youtubers. I really hope ya'll enjoy yourselves.
@@TheDeceptiveMoss i just want the 20 shot avenger cannon to be available for genestealer cult so I have a reason to use the ONLY ally my Nid army can have.
@@beyondblood2707 Breh, it is. All you have to do is create a separate detachment of guard then just give them the Brood Brothers Trait. No Cult Ambushes but you get access to the models.
The first video of 2020 and it's the biggest project I've done to date
Leave a comment telling us what you thought of the video and I might put it in the next episode : )
MagikarpUsedFly Dunno I mean I like the thumbnail
MagikarpUsedFly My thoughts right now right now are "Damn you premier mode for tricking me into clicking on this not even present video"
40k is super fun but i think you might have jumped into it in the worst way possible if you spent that much so soon
pretty good
This is fantastic. I honestly cannot wait to see you explore other tabletop games!

the thing that bruva alfabusa did on one of the emperor had a text to speech device were he slapped game sounds on a match was glorious
Sounds sick! I love it
Don't forget to introduce "If the Emperor had a TTS Device"
I totally get the whole "we're going big" but this as they say in the video, this is the WORST way possible to learn 40k. If you are interested in 40k, DO NOT DO THIS. Start small, learn small. Purchase small. Love the video, you guys are cool.
Why 2Kpts... start at 750 and scale up!!
Wise words
Thanks Captain obvious
Jason Wilson start by watching If The Emperor Had A Text To Speech Device. It’s a fun way to learn the lore in a way where it doesn’t take itself as seriously. And it’s really funny
He says that in the video too
"we spent 3 thousand dollars on a game we don't even know if we like yet"
Now that's a pro gamer move
If you didn't do that when you started warhammer, are you even playing?
I wish I had money to make that pro gamer move too
The whole Warhammer community is just faking it because they have so much invested.
The warhammer experience
looks very funny. Can't you come to the club and try someone else's army? Why buy just like that? Approach experienced players and they will let you play and teach you the basics. Read books, delve into lore. This is how we do it.
This felt like a real tv show that you’d see in like spike or somthing
There is an old saying:
"Steal a mans wallet and he will be poor for a week,
Introduce him to 40k and he will be poor for a lifetime."
Have fun with the game. I myself could never play due to prices and no GW shop in my town.
@Kracked Mynd I live in Poland. This price of 450 dollars here turns to 1 thousand something złotych.

Robert Wiech if there is a game store in your area they usually have warhammer stuff
Buying eBay second-hand or sprues only is (or was) a great way to save. Also going to the forums (dakkadakka, bolter and chainsword, warseer) is a good resource to find stores and other players.

@WgoodT - with good taste the start collecting boxes are actually really good values. My best advice if you plan to get back into it is to get your main force from those and pad it out with the less price efficient deals.

"How much have you spent in total on Warhammer?"
*immediately starts laughing uncontrollably*
Fark me been collecting for like 15 years. I had a Guard, Empire, Lizardmen, Beastmen and Dwarfs. Large armies. Anyhow I got the shits with GW and sold them all. Now I play other games. Star Wars Legion and The Walking Dead, and Warpath.
@@Vulkanprimarch Ah, the end times happened to you.. am I right?
@@badbishop1049 Yeah but I was smart enough not to buy any of those end times books or stuff. I was holding off buying anything new for a while and when I saw the new AOS releases I was like fark it I'm out!
@@Vulkanprimarch As soon as I saw most of your armies were from fantasy/aos, I knew exactly what happened to you. One of my friends sold his entire empire army for 80 bucks after Aos dropped because he was so pissed, lol. I don't blame you. I dont think GW will be making that mistake anytime soon again though. It turned off so many players from the game when they did that.

A full flyer eldar list is stupid. One of my buddies went out and spent a bunch on eldar flyers to build an alaitoc army. However he forgot boots on the ground rule and I would never target his flyers just the few paltry units of infantry he had and after I wiped them out on the first or second turn he would automatically lose because all he had left was flyers on the table. He wised up eventually and evened out his army between infantry and flyers.

AKA- What if.... and just a thought, what if...... they tried out Dungeons and Dragons? Wouldn't cost as much as they paid to play Warhammer 40K. HUGE D&D fan and when I saw this video, the thought just occurred to me that this is quite the leap. That would be something I believe we all would be not only satisfied to wait for and watch, but would find hilarious as to see what the group would make in terms of characters and how they'll act like.
I would understand if that might not be something they would be interested in, it was just a thought and no matter what they do. We'll always love them

There’s always fans that give too much of a shit and those that enjoy it for what it is
Comes to realize that "paint it all" will be *the* most difficult thing about everything.
Your camera and editing skills have improved so much since I originally started watching you. I’ve had friends that have talked about warhamer 40K but the game was always intimidating because of how much time, money, and learning I would have to commit to it. I’m hoping to learn more about it from watching y’all play and see if it may be something I could be interested in in the future.
My friend: "Bro get this game its only $15 and we can all play together"
Me: "Idk man $15 is a little pricey"
Matt: 0:28
SAME. i dont see the appeal in Warhammer 40k at all. Its basically just a money grab with very little work put into it for a huge return.
I feel u bro
@Kayaze You don't see the appeal of possibly creating a personal army like one made up of glamorous, drug-addled super soldiers that shoot people down with electrical guitars while being backed up by dinosaurs with gatling guns? You get something to play with friends while having a hell of a shelf display.
I have watched this series and Bricky's faction explained videos so much. Can never get tired of these. I hope we get more Warhammer documentaries soon
i hope you also watched adeptus rediculus
We love you Matt, Super fucking stoked to see this expand and grow, I love the 40k universe and to see my favorite youtuber get into it makes me super happy.

Corvus Belli and Infinity already done that, works perfrectly.
Taking the rules online would be a great move to make the hobby more accessible and lower the learning curve/barrier to entry. The community wants it badly, but selling the books makes the company a lot of money so convincing them the trade will be worth it is difficult. With the massive growth the hobby is about to get from content like this, plus the new TV show and other media in the works, if ever there was a time to do it now is the time
@@sirbearicus4755 Selling Codecies as they are currently designed in 40k makes GW $0, as effectively each of these books is a model sale they are not making at least, and more likely multiple model sales because of the lack of ability to experiment with models pre-investiture.
So glad someone mentioned Infinity. The fact that my money is only invested in purchasing models and paint and i'm not forced to buy any books has helped alot. Also having a wiki page you can look up on the fly when playing a game is great.
Hope we at least get an Aristeia! video, it seems to be a game Matt would like.

"I like Protoss, so I play Tau"
I think Eldar is more like Protoss. They have the magic, using dead warriors in war machines, more close combat-oriented. Feels like Eldar-Protoss thematic is stronger than Protoss-Tau. Lore of Protoss-Eldar is also kind of similar (Old civilization dying out, Good and Evil versions, the outcast-faction who just wants everyone to focus on the real threat)
Maybe it's just the standard colours that make the Protoss-Tau resemblance strong.. That said I really hope you enjoy your armies!
When you think about it, the Protoss-Tau resemblance is not that far off, the Protoss and the Tau have their own Ideologies that they follow. Protoss following the Khala while the Tau follow the greater good. Any protoss/tau that do not follow their ideologies are shunned from their people and branded as heretics. The Nerazim-Farsight Encale resemblance is also not that far off since both of them despise the ideology followed by the rest of their civilization and their are viewed as traitors by their rest people for not following it. Maybe protoss is a weird mix between tau and eldar since it does resemble both races in some ways
the protos were based on the Eldar
@@crownguard2445 when youre throwing tropes into the soup to make a scifi race, there are a number of fairly popular ones. The Eldar and Protoss share a large number of those tropes. The only thing shared with the Tau is the overarching ideology, which are entirely different things, as the Tau are Feudalist/fascist (They get called communist because people have very poor understanding of political ideology, combined with the actual similarities between communism and fascism, people see the lack of tyranny and assume communism, except its clearly a Feudal or fascist when you know where to look) Where as the Protoss are moreso a theocracy, with the castes serving moreso as census data with the heirarchy being shared between castes while not placing once caste sovereign over others except within specific functionaries of The Khala as a whole.
In reality, except for their use of Klingon Heirarchy, the Protoss are actually closest to the Orks
For sure. 40k and Starcraft have very close ties due to their past and T'au didn't even exist back then which just supports your view.
im a sure that starcraft was a 40k game that GW dropped
