Coldest take ever, but the faction Codex books should just be lore books, that gets updated from time to time as lore has grown and expanded enough to warrant it, but that no longer needs to be tied to the editions. I love having a physical codex to browse through, so I dont want them gone altogether, but the current system is super dumb. :D

[@codyott1982]

At this point, yea you are right. I miss the days of accurate rules in the codex. But then, I also miss divergent chapters having full codexes instead of just supplements. Sure, it locked you out of certain units, but that kinda added to the different chapters being different.

[@johngeorge9714]

Chuck in some modelling and painting guides and you actually have a really interesting book.

[@GuardianM25]

I just want them to stop lying. Telling us the rules would be free - "Oh, we just meant the first book. After that you can't dare look at a bolt pistol and a chainsword without spending $80"

[@Astronometric]

That’s not a cold take. A lot of people have been asking for this since the beginning of 10th with the balance updates, free indexes and rules. Me included.

[@FelipeBudinich]

Paint guides would be cool too (like I know my way around a brush but for many people having simple to follow instructions using citadel paints would be great).

[@TacticalTortoise]

Can confirm Inky mews the names of all 30 Grotmas detachments in her sleep

[@DerTypDa]

The Adepta Sororitas detachment felt kind of mean, really. GW was like "Here's a cool and flavourful detachment all about spending a lot of miracle dice. Oh also, we're halving your miracle dice generation for the whole faction."

[@compyguy]

With how the balance dataslate had come out a few days earlier, I wouldn't be surprised if the detatchment was tested with old rules...

[@aarondavid8319]

It's nice to have some positive thoughts and opinions about 40k. I see a lot of channels complaining about the state of the game, but I'm really enjoying it

[@braverzero3709]

100% agree, there's a lot of negativity in the creator space around this game. Very bad for new players

[@FelipeBudinich]

A lot of people complain about the "competitive" focus of the rules and balance and I get it. But nothing is stopping anyone from playing casually/narratively (with my friends we've been playing a ton of 1000 point games and it's been really fun 🤷‍♂️)

[@SeanBoyce-gp]

5:58 the notion is just...absurd to me. I am relatively new to warhammer, but I have been a big dnd player for decades. It took WotC a long time to figure out a reasonable way to release their content digitally, but they found it, which is wild, because they don't have a physical product to bend people over and shake their pockets out with the way GW does. I mean, GW makes the vast majority of their money from the models, it has to be. I can't imagine a world where that isn't true. But instead of selling digital copies of the books, a product line with wildly good return on investment, they're doing this stupid crap. I'll just never understand it. WotC made the 5e rules free under creative commons and they're still printing money with dndbeyond.

[@TheOtakuKat]

Almost as dumb as these comment.

[@LordOfAllVikings]

Their main expenditure is the fact that, rather than ship all of their miniature production overseas to china.They all do it in country which is an admirable thing to do.And it is why their prices are so high

[@Akrabor]

For the sisters detachment, I like the idea ... on paper. In reality, it doesn't work thanks to the miracle dice nerf and the fact that the buff is weak. It's not re-rolls. It's +1 ws/bs (and movement and morale) for a small sub-section of units ... which is something the default detachment gives you for loosing a single sister.

[@Keltik0ne]

Yea, the det has a sub 30% win rate (small sample size though, not a lot are using it) which drops the overall winrate of the Sisters from 42% to ... 41%. Looks like GW want's Sisters to keep Agents company.

[@franriolobos2261]

With the arrival of The Old World I have been painting Bretonnia (I rescued them from some friends who had them abandoned on shelves), and it has been a lot of fun. Each knight is like a small design project, I have asked friends to design some, making some of soccer teams (long live Betis!). I've even sculpted new helmet ornaments to fit each one's heraldry. Super fun stuff, highly recommended

[@wohnzimmerschmiede7672]

The Slaanesh detachment let's you reroll hit and wound rolls if you waive "fights first". The wound rerolls are massive as almost every unit hands out devastating wounds.

[@pancakemogul]

Hi Jay and Nick. Saw the prep note about M&M ep. 200 on Discord. Super excited about the costumes, pyrotechnics, and live exotic animals. Much love and godspeed.

[@JustThat1Pig]

Day one of asking Jay to make a “hœw” compilation…😀

[@dr.sommercamp3435]

[@kenupton4084]

Well technically we were demanding it since the 100th episode

[@theclip9938]

Tactical tortoise meantioned 6:36

[@Gigasius]

In the december update, the miracle dice for sisters were completely gutted, which in turn made some of the detachments, including the new one pretty dang bad. Who ever wrote the new detachment was not talking with the other team. Their nerf was ridiculously overhanded as the miracle dice isn't just used to substitute rolls, but to also power stratagems and unit abilities and cutting 2/3 of the MD income completely screws over the the internal balance and dynamics. I thought the Ork nerf was bad, but this is on a completely new level. I'm sure they'll pull back on some of the nerfs, but we'll see.

[@AnitaGalambos]

hi jay j just wanted to thank you for getting me into wh40k :D

[@Sanguinius5]

Jay is the man with the releasing a video at midnight on the dot mindset

[@billdefranza4927]

Ooh,ooh! For episode 200, do a "how" supercut of maybe a dozen or so distinct ways you say "how"!

[@cimandreasen1721]

Love the friday “how” fix. Thanks!

[@Zaku_Chan]

Yay new EonsOfBattle video i know what im watching with dinner

[@theriotartist]

I don't play big 40k but I figured out recently you can take Navy Breachers alongside Grey Knights and I've been thinking about building a list. I have the Breachers and a Hexfire Box.

[@lat1n0_h0t]

Jay not knowing that Blood Axes exist and how to read the ork way of spelling tactical, "take-it-all" LMAO. I would have never read it that way in my life thanks for the chuckle

[@tyranitorn8632]

i’ve come to figure out jay doesn’t actually know that much about 40k, he knows the basics but then fills in the rest with memes and his own headcannons which leads to a lot of mistakes in his videos

[@dantheultimate2497]

​​​@@tyranitorn8632 yeah, everytime he talks about AoS I cringe a little, because he pretty much gets everything wrong. Though it doesn't really matter, since he's not a lore guy anyways.

[@toadsie6273]

Your videos are always make my morning better jay much love ♡

[@The_WarL0rd_Way]

The "how" made me laugh this time! 🤣

[@Prikelywombat]

Tau one looks hard to play but has unholy amount of potential

[@LinkLayerLogic]

GW: Focus more on easily accessible digital rules. Have me pay per year for access. Have different price points. For instance, have a sub that opens just 5 factions for those who just want access to the armies they play and the core rules. Have another that unlocks all factions etc. If GW wants more players they need to make it more accessible and lower entry costs.

[@jaanikaapa6925]

Tyranid warrior detachment is like the SM2 game

[@ErgonomicChair]

... how could you enjoy ALL the detachments? The Adepta Sororitas detachment is literally terrible, it does everything worse than 2 of the others and is completely non-functional with how reliant it is on miracle dice, after miracle dice were removed.

[@jeremiegartner464]

So i only need 7 codex books to see all my ally units in CSM in the warhammer app. Ohh joy. Wait 6 if there isnt a daemon codex.

[@flinnja]

miracle dice were gutted, we get probably 1/3rd or even fewer than we used to per game; now we're expensive guard with no leman russ (ok im packing a bit of a sad but it was already a tricky army to play!)

[@OddNumber1524]

19:07 The Final day detachment sadly doesn't really work like that, wen can only take vanguard organisms (so no carnifexes) but the GSC units get +1 to hit if a tyranif unit is in 6" around an enemy which is very funny if you play things like the Flyrant, Liktors and gargoyles (or, you know a mawlock or tervigon)

[@tyranitorn8632]

he literally got like half the detachments wrong in this video it’s wild

[@OddNumber1524]

@trs8%2F-wuw%2Cymuvu%60e%2Ccmm-cjalngl-UA1%7B3rQShN_kSreZxnoZGxre I mean if you skim 30 detachments that's gonna happen :D

"Episode one ninty niiiine." I know that means .... Soon we will get a low effort clip show. :-) But in all seriousness congratulations on your success!

[@Hes_Playing_Warhammer]

i think Pox walkers do get the scout and stealth ability in Flyblown host? They are definitely strong for the points

[@KraikLockheart]

They do. And it makes them better!

[@d.t.m8393]

You totally do get the Scout+Stealth on the Poxwalkers in that new Deathguard detachment so feel free to zombie horde it up! 🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️😉

[@CuteangelcatAJ]

The new DG detachment 100% works on the zombies

Check your messages, Jay! I got this box of Carnivores specifically to send to you!

[@opusdei789]

Scintillating he can say. Not tactical. But scintillating. I swear he does this just to trigger me specifically.

[@deerclops8185]

Gonna be building my blood angels for the new detachment since i love characters and will try to have one for each unit aka lots of chaplains and most of the unique characters. If i wanna really win i can always fall back on liberator 😅

[@alexanderdiogenes8067]

GOOOOD "how" this week. 👍🏽

[@ryang6931]

Uhhhhhh. The zombies do get the stealth in flyblown host

[@PearlJam2k6]

Ngl, i like the little detail of the praying statue on the hilt of his sword. I dont know why but its a neat detail but the rest of the dude is just...generic. You could have a block of them and they'd just look like a semi-elite squad more than an HQ or champion/hero. Also did i understand this correctly? Codexes now dont have the fucking rules or point costs in them anymore? What kind of bullshit is this? I remember when making a list too you 10-20min the moment you opened your codex because everything was already there. The rules, the costs, unit size etc.

[@WeScreamAtWalls]

Field manual released before grotmas and sister miracle dice generation got nuked. They're now making significantly less dice and the new detachment is worse for it. I was super excited because the sacresants are my favorite models but eh. 😕

[@ValkeersYT]

Didnt enjoy the sisters detachment at all... started building my first ever army in october... having fun building and painting... allt he while seeing nerf after nerf.... then a big miracle dice change and a new detachment not even taking the miracle dice changes into account aaaand using the much less dice i get for comparatively weak effect.

[@Randomjiujitsustuff]

Can you pick those detachments in the app?

Yup, the app updated a few days ago to add them in

[@autobrecciation]

I like the codexes but I want them to continue leaning in to codexes being fluff, art, and painting guides for various sub armies. Also I agree app needs to either be free with codex code or subscription and no codex code.
