I love that GW markets themselves like a kids toy company and charges prices equivalent to a mid life crisis
🤣🤣🤣 gold comment!
Cheers for the lols
this guy has to be the happiest dude in mini painting. I mean I know we can appear happy on the outside, and not be inside, but he always seems really happy , and it is always pleasant to see.
Can't wait till Eons of Battle turns into a strictly "CookIe Cutter" company 😋 😉
Eons of Batter
Ok so your list is basically "Buy your kid Chaos and Death for christmas" lol I like it.
I think this is just Jay recommending his favourite AoS army, we may have been bamboozled.
Yo I was expecting 4 packs of hell blasters
he hoodwinked us, lol
I appreciate the return of the true chunk marine cookies
Hobby Lobby did me good! Someone returned the Eclipse because the air was broke?! Yeah, their employee said it wouldn't work. So they sold it to me for 24 bucks. It came with lube 3 paints and thinner. All I had to do was clean it lol! It was brand new and previous owner didn't know how to mix and thin paint! The Hobby Gods were smiling on me that day!
On the AoS side, the former Underworlds warbands are US$25, and they're almost all fantastic. 3 to 6 minis each, giving you a real flavour of their factions, and playable in AoS.
If only you could still get any of them at $25 still, but that was the price they started at 3 years ago. Warbands are $40 msrp now and have gone up each season so even last years models are $35.
@@ant6227 pretty sure they mean ordering the models separate from the cards off the website, Season 1-2 warbands are still $25. Although I don't know how good they'd be for an AoS player since they're too low points to actually do much with, around 200 or less. If they're a Warcry player, then yes absolutely Underworlds Warbands are an excellent gift.
Although, if you wanna give a Warcry player a gift and don't mind spending $50, you could buy them Bladeborn from Barnes and Nobles available starting on Christmas Eve. Even if they don't touch the game itself, it still is 2 warbands (10 models), some dice, and additional rules for those 2 (plus 4 more not included in box) warbands to be played in Warcry. Khagra's ravagers and The Godsworn Hunt are both also really good sculpts.
I think I got my Zarbag and his gitz for around $25 or so last year, great models
@@ant6227 Just picked up a couple of them on ebay for $25 each, so it's not difficult to find them. I've also seen last seasons warbands going for 30 bucks or so
Jay: “But what is not a skip is…”
Me: he’s gonna say the line!
Jay: “the Eons of Battle C…”
Me: here it comes…
Jay: “cookie cutters”
Me: well played Jay, well played
😆👍
I would love to see some videos covering Fallout Wasteland Warfare. Such an underappreciated game Imo.
"The Lord of The Rings which I didn't even know had a starter set"
After your comment on the Balin's Tomb board game I'm not surprised.
It's a really good and equally popular set that has brought many people (back) to the game!
I don't play the lord of the rings game. But just looking at it from a number of minis per dollar standpoint, it's gotta be one of the better boxsets they make.
AMA: Speaking of the Eldar, if you were to be captured and tortured forever what you want to be turned into? Perhaps a lovely couch, or a jacket?
From experience, you’re just getting a box of Tactical Marines.
AMA Question: How the hell do you clean your shelves and make sure it's dust free? What does your cleaning schedule look like?
Bought the cookie cutter. My fellow 40K players at my local game shop are going to love me 😁
I'm pausing this video to officially implore more cute doggo in EOB. Now back to the show.
I was going to get that new play dough wargame for my niece and nephew as it looks like an awesome way to get kids into the hobby at a very reasonable price. I know I would have loved it as a kid , it's too bad it's sold out most places but I might grab it for one of their birthdays in the near future
This bro should defos be on the GW marketing team! ❤️
Hey J, I know it’s not related to your video but man I’m still looking for some new KIll team battle reports. 25-30 min edit em down make em fun, add some effects you got this man!
If you don't mind me giving shout Outs to Kill Team content (because WE need more of it!): GFN Gaming makes pretty sweet KT batreps. Glass Half Dear makes Lots of helpfull KT content, very Meta and working on His batreps but has a Focus on competitive Play content, rules, tactics, unit breakdowns and is a hilariously snarky Brit. Command Point would be another, I believe.
@@marcocardoso8745 agreed one that is less rule heavy, more recap / speedy maybe with narration, kinda like how play on does it, except do it for kill team!!
@@Will-zc8cq then GFN Gaming should be right, they do a pretty awesome Job narratively and visually. Small Channel, needs more attention imho.
@@marcocardoso8745 agin absolutely agree! I’m already subbed. They do good work they need more time spent editing but again as the channel grows they can maybe invest! Not trying to say they have not already come a long long way!
The Advent Engine is now going Chaos. Nice touch of seeing it get more and more corrupted day by day though.
AMA question: If you had no time or material constraints what would your dream project be cosplay-wise? Love the videos and keep up the great work.
Last Eldar release I think was the new Howling Banshees. Before that it was the Triumvirate of Ynnead, and they had some small updates (Plastic Farseer + Warlock). But they're also still stuck on the plastic Guardians from the '90s...
The easy to build Myrmourn Banshees should also be on the list, cheap and cool models
Great list, thanks. Hoping I get my cookie cutters in time to make cookies for Christmas. :) Hey, one thing about the airbrush: what I've heard from people I respect is that you should drip-drip your water (or thinner) first, then drip-drip the paint. That wouldn't do anything about heavy chunks, but it supposedly reduces clogs. My own much more limited experience agrees, for what that's worth.
My recommendations:
Frostgrave Wizards 1 and 2. Can be gotten under 20 euros, and they are a kitbasher's dream with all the hands and heads they have. 2 has very good female bodies and heads, and is always a recommendation.
Stargrave Mercenaries: Frostgrave bits choice, in space.
GW Zarbag's Gitz or Thorns of the Briar Queen (only from their website) 20 euros for 9/7 models with good character. Also the Myrnmourn banshees, 4 good ghosts for 12 euros.
Wargames Atlantic is nice, but you really want to know whether one of their boxes fits the army before choosing. Very nice Squats, spiders and heavy weapons teams.
I am so getting that cookie cutter! You rock, Jay!
Eldar have gotten new models every edition. They got new banshee models in 2019 right before covid and no one bought them, so its not surprising that everyone forgets. Even with these new advent leaks its pretty clear that its not all the aspects getting updated, so I predict there will still be complaints because it wasn't their favorite aspect.
Nah as someone in a few Craftworlds groups we are just happy to have new stuff, and the issue with the Banshees was the massivespike in price, for 5 of them it's £32.50, whereas before it was 6 for £25, which of course is annoying and inexcusable.
@@oliverp3545 So I assume the Craftworlds players will continue to not buy models then? All the new aspects are going to be priced similarly. Every new sculpt for every army comes with a price hike, and always has, for well over 20 years.
GW should hire you to do their lists next year. MUCH better lists. SMASHING.
Everyone should paint some nighthaunts. They're super fun to paint.
Thanks for the video.
I'm interested in seeing how they make the Eldar relevant again after they put all the concepts into Primaris.
The old SM tactical squad was a block of reasonable infantry that could take 1 or 2 special weapons, and Eldar's difference was they had weaker base troops and full squads of special weapon troops (fire dragons, scorpions, banshees.)
Eldar squads were valuable and specialized, if you used your elite squads improperly, they would die horribly, but if you used them correctly they would win you games.
However this is what Primaris does now with all-plasma squads, all-melta squads, etc, even the grav tanks. So what do the Eldar do now that Primaris don't?
"Festive, 40k cookie related purchase" . You do not hear that often. :D
Got me self an imperial knight for christmas, that’s the correct price bracket for a me-gift.
Man you know what I just noticed from the teaser images of the eldars. They put soul gems all around frame of the image
All I want for Christmas is my two front -old EonsOfBattle video introduction.
I’m currently working on a enclave army as a proxy iron legion with frank horrigan as primarch thoughts
Jay: "Maybe it will be time to dip my toes into some... elves?"
Drukhari waifus would like to know your location.
I've had the same needle in my airbrush for the last 10 years but I've had to replace the nozzle once
Hell Yea, Space Marine Cookie Cutter Season!
All I want is a bucket of Nuln Oil…
AMA question(s).
1. Would you try to do a "real" painting (maybe 40k themed) with all the knowledge about colors you earned from mini painting . And maybe even show it to us? I would love that , as you said it yourself painting minis isn't real art :D I really would be interested in seeing the result of an so advanced mini painter as you are.
2. This question is more about the rules as you are a far more experienced 40k player as I am . You ever realized and what are you thoughts about: In the mission "open hostility - death or glory" is it really almost impossible to win as an attacker as you play against an eldar army . The first reason : as far as I see you aren't forced to bring your models in reserve at round 3 (as it is in other missions) to the battlefield.
Second : even if you would be forced to bring them on round 3 as the swooping hawks can simply go up to the skies and stay there again there would be only one turn to kill them all (plus maybe an autarch with swooping hawks wing or/and an baharroth) and as you are the defender you even get to choose who to get first turn . Am I wrong or this should be fixed ?
Keep doing you great stuff I love watching your show while painting thanks 👍👍 much love
Christmas Gamesworkshop! Milk it!Hahaha
I’m so excited for eldar !
One of the many things GW does that irks me is making box sets that don't give you enough models to make a full unit or two, they are always missing a few forcing you to buy more. For example the glaivewraiths you featured, a full unit is five.
The Fallout Boy looks like he blew out his O-ring.
🤥 Shatastic !
Day seven of the advent calendar looks like the weapon used by the warp spiders
2:20, the only time I've seen a Knight Desecrator, or anything that big, was a game event at a store.
Like 5 people verse one.
If a niece or nephew dare to ask for one, they will get a 2ft long box with a piece of coal, and that gift guide shoved in.
Happy Christmas everyone
Also FYI the picture in 17:42 is a Rangers backside. Rangers have them too and they plug their guns there just like in the picture.
Plus the cloak is clearly camo....
AMA:
What are your thoughts on the recent GW post concerning the far-right fans among the hobby?
What are your experiences w/ people like that at any LGSs or any warhammer-related event, if any?
What is your take on how GW has presented the Imperium in recent pieces of media compared to how they portray them in said open letter?
6:30 Let us have A moment of silence for the Easy to Build Redemptor Dreadnought 😔
AMA question!
What do you think will happen for the future of the hobby and which factions do you think will be updated next?
Honestly I picked up a cheepo 20 dollar airbrush (thankfully my dad hordes things like air compressors that he finds at garage sales) and it is amazing. It saves me hours of basing. I’m also able to to zenethal highlights which are such a nice feature for very little work.
I believe you can use those dreadblade harrows as battle line as well. I have a buddy who is wanting to get into the hobby and loves the Night Haunts, I might have to grab him a box. I heard around Halloween of next year they are getting a new rulebook as well so as we all know that means they will probably be getting a major boost in power so now is a good time to start grabbing up those cheap models on eBay. I have a few of the models I bought just because I wanted to paint them like the black coach ( which I still argue should be in the soul blight book as well) and Lady Oylander and they are great for starting painters
Eldar photo predictions
Weapon reciever is a ranger long rife
Foot.. seriously any aspec warrior
Back (not back pack area)is a ranger
Second weapon reciever shot is swooping hawk lasblaster
AMA Question: Whats one model that you DREAM of painting that doesn't currently exist from any manufacturer?
You forgot Gretchen they aren't great but they are still a group of 11 orks for 18%
Lore Question: what is you opinion of splitting the imprieum in 2 because of the great rift and link this with return a new loyalist primarch leading one and guilliman the other. Similar in concept of the western and Eastern Roman Empire?
Is this guy on speed ? 😂 😂 😂
Just going to be space marines with each of these parts being severed bodies on the bases.
I have an army of alaitoc but i have zero rangers xD If they release new rangers i might grab some. Also, it could be a remodel of the named character from alaitoc. He is a super duper ranger on eldar ruins.
I think a nice gift could be any character. Like the skaven bombardier, $25 for 1 model isnt something I would buy, but I would love as a gift.
Big fan of that BattleTech shout out! Haven't played it but seen some hype for it recently.
I dunno about that "Other companies for cheaper than GW" shtick. 3 models for $21 comes out to about $7 per model. You could also get a box of 10 primaris intercessors for $60, hitting the range of $6 per model... or a box of the firstborn tactical squad for, I believe it was $45, which brings the price to $4.50 per model. there's also Necron Warriors for $45, which also nets you $4.50 per model. Heck, the cheapest I've seen for troops price wise (excluding your excellent recommendation for cultists earlier since they're cheaper) are the Tyranid Termagant brood, which is 13 models (12 termagants and 1 ripper swarm) for $35, giving you an individual model price of about $2.69 per model. It really all depends on what you're looking for to give as gifts and how many models are needed for different games though.
The shipping for the NCR Ranger Promo model costs more for me than the model itself! Just living in the United States put the shipping at $19.
Hearing Timmy be happy in a warhammer video is strange to me
AMA question: Strongest 40k unit you think you could beat in a fight. I.e. Grot, Guardsmen, Servitor
Jay and Silent Nick out the front of the Quickstop sellin some Glaivewraith Stalkers: “Fiften bucks little man”.
All jokes aside great video guys as always, kudos. On the subject of airbrushes, I plan on getting a Sparmax Flier, as I feel it will suit my needs perfectly, even though it’s not really an airbrush per se, and more of a spray gun. Albeit a spray gun that from what I can tell is actually really good for what it’s is designed for unlike the old Citadel hand flamer. I had one of those and sucked donkey dick. Anyway great video as always guys, kudos.
Jay my favorite TH-camr
When I was a kid my dad got us all into malifaux, he played three games, decided that the game was demonic and 2 days after I'd finished painting all my minis he made me throw them out
You can get a large (15ml) paint cup for the H&S, plus all their cups screw on and off making cleaning of the inside of the airbrush very easy.
I'm pretty sure most of those pics are rangers. Some jet bike, an autarch, and maybe dark reaper weapon options
It's going to be one new Eldar model with a box of Primaris lieutenants
Reminds me of those ludicrous holiday commercials where people are buying a f**king Lexus as a Christmas gift.
SMFH
I finally got some Malifaux models. For me, I either love or hate their models. Their humans are boring to me, their goblins or whatever are not for me, but their monsters/demons/etc. absolutely the best.
Got The Dreamer core set and so far they've built up great and I'm excited to paint them.
I seem to be spending more and more on printed miniatures. There are some amazing miniatures out there: Asgard Rising, Great Grimore and Cobramode.
I'm always quite impressed what i can get out of my 3d printer
GW assumes my family loves $159 boxset money when my casual behavior wouldn’t net me a hexmark destroyer 😂
You know for the fact that parents will open that gift guide and go WTF how much. GW are relying on pressure from the kid to get those big markup sales noted in that guide.
The website is not better, you filter for less than £25 and it shows items over £25. Its like 'we dont do that here' meme
:D
Oooh the 8 Cultist could be nice i bought 12 of em from someone who was selling all his Chaos Space Marine units so it could make me 2 units of 10 !
What, no new candles? 😁👍
AMA Question: How many employees are there in your crew? Is it just you and Nick?
Couldn't agree more with the NCR Ranger mini. I ended up getting it when I preordered the Fallout 2d20 TTRPG and man, I cannot wait to paint it, it is absolutely gorgeous. It's a shame they're UK based because hoo boy importing stuff from there into the EU here is costly, post-Brexit.
The advent engine has my spirit stone shook, gonna have to consult the infinity circuit lest I am tempted by she who thirsts.
Its true about airbrushing. Im definetly a novice with the airbrush but its not exactly intuitive. Havent made much progress with its utilitarian possibilities other than a watered down basecoat for my space wolves.
Funny that you assume my parents have the slightest idea what army i collect lmao
That wrapping paper is actually pretty cheap, most is like 5 or 6 at target
My Paasche Talon 3-G is awesome 125 bucks. Works awesome and comes with 3 needle nozzle sizes.
I'm down right disrespectful to my Badger Patriot and it just keeps on truckin'
I don't think the prices in that catalog are that crazy for a gift but giving a 10 year old that archaeon is. They'll never come close to doing it justice and they'll end up hating it, feeling bad about themselves and resent a super cool model that was just way too much for any 10 year old that isn't a prodigy.
Jay, we got a primaris LT yesterday. Lt Titus
GW with their kiddie style art “Pwease gib me 200 dawers for your Cwistmas gift?? 🥺”
I really need to get a new airbrush, the one I have now does it's job....to a degree( use for priming, but notice it clogs easy and doesn't come out like it should). Will need to find a decent and affordable one after Christmas
That magazine is just more proof that GW doesn't care about you the consumer. Just your money.
I would love to see your take on nighthaunt. I picked up that box set sorrowmourn choir a while back and haven't touched it yet. I wanted to pick up nighthaunt as a way to practice more with my airbrush but I'm unsure of how I want to paint them.
I love the amount of content you put out, its ahMAZing! Keep it up!
GW Dumb XMas List? Impossible!...wait totally predictable. I've seen yours and other gift videos and seriously, they are far, FAR better recommendations than GW's ideas for their own games.
Great list mate!
Id love to hear your thoughts on the models for a tabletop game called ‘Moonstone’. I’ve recently come across it and I found those minis some of the very best on the market!
AMA question: if you could have any book or codex for 40K what would it be?
Instead of the stalkers I would recommend banshees.
Went to buy the Fallout NCR ranger model. Had 19$ shipping to central U.S. I really wanted to get it but I couldn't justify it.
It is now canon, there is more than one personality inside jay's head and only activates whenever he says 'how's in his models and memories weekly opening.
