40k buying guide after Space Marine 2

[@stoicwargaming]

@3:54 If you decide to go the route of the Combat Patrol Magazine, please keep in mind that some of the patrols are now invalid, like the Genestealer Cult one. If you're looking for longevity going that route, make sure you pick an army that already has it's 10th Edition Codex out, since that is what makes the new Combat Patrol box set. Also, YES to Kill Team! It's a fantastic game that's worth a try, especially with its free rules coming out in a few weeks.

[@thewynnest]

Thanks! I added the combat patrol magazine part when the video was already ‘done’ as a little extra. Know nothing about it. I’ll pin your comment, very useful! And yeah I’m returning to KT now that they have toned down the rules a bit. Very exciting stuff!

[@DaGoook]

Got back into the hobby myself 6 months ago after taking decades off since playing as a kid back in 2nd/3rd edition. Great to see SM2 is creating buzz for the hobby!

[@thewynnest]

Yeah its great to see so many invested in the 40K universe! Myself I’ve been back since covid period. ‘Played’ Fantasy 6th edition for a bit as a kid, but mainly just for painting and collecting back then. Glad to have you back 🤘🔥

[@punchlord]

Big same, I started back in 6th ed as a middle schooler and only played a handful of games. Collected some Death Watch 2 years ago, and lost em in a car wreck. Got a CP of Space Marines to paint up as Dark Angels, war…it never changes…

[@ethanhousholder5100]

I got into 40k this past February 0f 24. Have over 7000 points of necrons currently and painted. I started playing big games but am currently playing more Boarding Actions that full blown 40k games. I think BA is amazing and I can get 3 games in at my LGS and switch up lists and detachments if I want. Boarding Actions is solid and don't hesitate to explore it. Cheers!

[@thewynnest]

Oh good to hear! I got the terrain for it second hand for Kill Team so might give BA a go someday.

[@ntmetroid]

I started painting after Space Marine 2 and am better than i ever expected to be (even if it takes me like 5-6 hours of agonizing over details on one space marine lol). 40k just seems really hard to get i to, so of all things, my friends and I are dipping our toes into BLOOD BOWL! I have a lizard men team coming tomorrow that I can’t wait to paint

[@thewynnest]

That’s a very good decision!! Blood Bowl is probably my favorite GW game. Try out Blood Bowl sevens some day. It’s quick games, smalller pitch and smaller teams. Can do a game in about 40 minutes.

[@ntmetroid]

@@thewynnest I was reading a bit about that. Seems like a good way to play quicker games! I have my eyes on a couple of pitch playmats on Etsy that have the lines for regular and 7s. I've played a bit of Blood Bowl 2 on Steam, but it's completely new to my friends. I'm looking forward to it. Going to be cool to see how we all paint up our teams.

[@thewynnest]

@@ntmetroid I know the ones youre talking about. Really cool that you have a couple of friends to get together and play it! Make sure to start a league, it's loads of fun.

Not gonna lie, Space Marine 2 got me to buy my first 40k box. Found a Recruit Edition box from 9th edition at my local game store (space marines + necrons) and my total out of pocket was $30 because of a weekend sale + rewards points I cashed in. Figured at that price, I'd be willing to try tabletop 40k.

[@thewynnest]

Very good deal! Hope you'll enjoy it man, let me know how youre progressing! Always welcome to join the Discord btw (link in description)

[@metapanda1388]

Actually Boarding Actions is also another great way to get into the game as they just released updated rules for it for 10th edition just last month and all the games are at 500 points. The terrain can also easily be proxied if buying the Into the Dark terrain sets is out of someone's price range.

[@thewynnest]

Didn’t know that! Might give it a shot as I’m close to getting the gallowdark killzone second hand

[@drewsleereactionogertv7660]

For me, it's all new 😅 I bought Space Wolves combat patrol and the Grey Hunters, and I hope i cain paint them well 👍

[@thewynnest]

Space Wolves are awesome. Never got into them but always wanted to get them! Good luck! In case you want to share some of your progress, or have questions; consider joining the discord. Link is in the description.

[@cdude665]

Hey my comment!! xD. This video is great for starting out. I would also like to add one more way to get models, secondhand! Miniswap/FB groups are a great way to buy models at a deep discount. You help perpetuate another degenerates wallet to buy more and you get a great models cheap! And congrats on the new space dwarves, We need more LoV armies around!

[@thewynnest]

Glad I got your approval this time 🤣🤣 nah jokes aside I did get pretty much this entire Votann army secondhand actually. Most of it half assembled, some brand new. Right after 10th dropped, I think people thought: oh hell no, THIS I didnt sign up for. I’m glad I was able to pick them up. Have yet to paint half of it tho.

[@jonreyes587]

Very excited for your upcoming kill team videos

[@thewynnest]

Thanks! I’m pretty excited myself.

[@themaskedg33k]

I am really trying to fight the urge to buy into this. Looking forward to seeing some gameplay 👍

[@thewynnest]

Maybe first Kill Team one day 🤘

[@themaskedg33k]

@@thewynnest I’m looking at the Scout Squad as we speak 😬

[@thewynnest]

@@themaskedg33k that your favorite?

[@themaskedg33k]

@@thewynnest all I want to do is Space Wolves and have something that may be a cheaper option to start gaming with. Don’t want to make a big investment at this stage. What something that organically grows, but I’m not sure if Warhammer is the answer 😬

[@DaGoook]

Lots of "Battle Reports" online if you wanna get a feel for the gameplay. Can also just test some gameplay yourself at home with some dice and proxies for the models. Literally anything can be a proxy.

[@Cmaximus7]

So to make sure i understand this correctly. Im looking to start with killteam but if i end up enjoying it and want to possibly get into 40k i can then use my minis from the kill team box towards the associated army??

[@thewynnest]

Yes you can use any KT models in 40K!

[@Cmaximus7]

@@thewynnest cool appreciate it man. Still doing my research. Honestly so many cool armies its hard to pick lol.

[@thewynnest]

Yeah that’s why Kill Team is a great start. You’ll get a pretty good idea of the playstyle. I like Killteam for picking up different factions. If I REALLY like a faction, I might get some more models for 40K play. But often times I just stick with KT.

[@vvv7696]

Hard to get into a game when your buying guide is literally all products that are “if you can get it” or “always sold out”

[@thewynnest]

Just explained how I did things, my approach. Combat patrol is a pretty good way to start and army boxes are coming out for factions all the time.

[@peytonibarra8992]

Best place to start is the bank, cause you are going to need to drop a f!@# load of money to get a 2000 point army

[@thewynnest]

😂

[@mro1099]

Did legion 2.6 ruin the game for you too?

[@thewynnest]

Not yet! But I am kinda waiting things out a bit. I'll try some of the new edition in the next few weeks. Thing I don't like about it is that I have to print out everything. Sounds weird, but I'd rather wait so I can buy the upgraded cards and rulebook.

[@riggermortisfpv526]

Painting ? Nah, first ask yourself "Hey, have I ever played a tabletop minis game before ? Have I ever even had the desire or am I jumping on a hype train with a much larger ticket price than I could ever Imagine ?" then go try one at a GW shop, or FLGS. Stare at the prices and remember you are buying plastic figures. Now stare longer. Then you need to know they outdate your stuff every few years, release a new edition of the same game, and sell you all the same stuff you already had !!! Yay 40k !!

[@thewynnest]

This is a follow up video because people were asking for a more in depth buying guide so thats what I provided. Not getting into GW's business practices, I give my opinion on those in livestreams when people ask me about it. There is a reason I play Star Wars Legion more than I ever played 40k. But you're 100% right, your army getting wiped from the history books is tough. Yesterday someone commented on buying and painting a 2K Harlequins list. When he was done painting his last model, 10th edition dropped. Harlequins lost their codex and are no longer a faction. So for anyone reading this: make sure you know these things before you commit to this hobby, Games Workshop games in particular. Ask your local game store to do a demo game, do research, ask other players, do more reserach, do another demo game, read about how Games Workshop has a 3 year rotation for their games, do more research. Still ok with everything? Welcome to this amazing hobby.

[@emeraldhog9797]

My only issue with kill team is the recent release has most of the teams price increased by 5-15 dollars.

[@thewynnest]

Yeah, it was a a sweet price point. Now they're just expensive to me.
