I really appreciate the skits you guys have been doing. I know theres a lot of work involved with scripting, shooting, editing and apparently costuming. So I wanted to make sure I told you how great they were.

[@Max-vp5sn]

“Rats, we’re rats. We are the rats. We stalk at night we prey at night we are the rats…”

"I'm the giant rat who makes all of da rules, who knows what kind of trouble we'll get ourselves into."

[@HuckleSeesTheTruth]

The Moment I saw the new Stormcast Prosecutors I knew that you would convert them to be Diablo Angels!

[@Codex_of_Wisdom]

Doing NMM really was crazy, but turned out SO good! Though the true metal Stormcast look amazing too! Also fun to see you and Squidmar doing the same model on the same day, and how differently you approach it.

[@mikewicked.x]

With respect to the Easy-to-build pegs, I find it much easier to cut the hole part, rather than the pegs. If you cut the holes by putting your nippers into the hole and cutting them down and parallel to the mechanism. This prevents the pneumatic pressure that can arise, especially if you use glue.

[@MrGreenpaulo]

What do you mean by "down and parallel to the mechanism"? Do you mean just cut the ring around the hole to loosen the hole?

[@EatTheMarxists]

@@MrGreenpauloyeah he’s got me all sorts of confused too. Hopefully we get a response!

[@mikewicked.x]

Ah, yeah sorry it's hard to explain in words. I'll try explain again, but if you're on their discord, I'll take some pics to share there. Basically stick one of the blades of your nippers into the hole where the peg will go, and cut. Turn the O of the hole into a C. It should still be tight enough to hold the model together without glue, but will left you push the model together *tighter* because any trapped air or liquid can escape, relieving pressure when you do glue it, preventing the worst of the gaps.

[@EatTheMarxists]

@@mikewicked.x ahhh okay, that makes perfect sense! Thanks for the clarification, my friend.

[@darkaiel]

Wow, that's a pretty good tip!

[@xyler8665]

FINALLY! I’ve been looking out for your skaventide review since it was revealed!

[@elfbait3774]

I am very much enjoying all the fun you are working in around the chats, games coverage, and painting/modelling stuff.

[@blaholtzen]

When gluing push-fit models, you're better off snipping off most of if not the entire pegs. All they're really good for in this situation is as locating pins, and for that purpose you really just want the peg to barely be poking into the hole. and depending on the bit, the two parts might have enough features to mesh together well enough without needing a locating pin. It might be more finicky without pins, but if you're used to regular kits that'll probably be far less frustrating. Even assembling them without glue I find usually you need a surprising amount of pressure to have parts seated all the way together without gaps, but ofc in that situation there's no time pressure to get it all into place.

[@ArynCrinn]

I've also had a lot of success with drilling the holes a bit larger. Sometimes I go a little large, and it will no longer go together without glue, but often it's particularly satisfying. It just glides in. Most people just don't have 2.05mm drill bits sitting around. Also, don't do yourself a disservice with regular plastic glue. Do yourself a favour and run that thin cement along the seams _after_ you've fit them together.

[@blaholtzen]

Really really love how the skaven came out! Looking forward to seeing some nice photos of them. The red/green combo and NMM looks so striking and stylized, reminds of something like a pulp book cover or horror comic.

[@brandie3344]

You guys are absolutely hysterical 😂

[@odharrison23]

I liked the bit with mouse trap. Thanks tabletop team!!

[@capt.mannerings8095]

Okay your sketch bits with the Damned Rats! were brilliant.

[@durelljfg5217]

Wow, those hooded Prosecutors look really straight out of Diablo. Stormcast and hoods is a winning combination for sure. Great job!!!

[@adamray7249]

Your Diablo inspired Stormcast are epic!

[@Mark-sd4hv]

Wow I love how you made them look like Diablo. I had to pause for a few minutes to gawk

[@BitzboxTV]

Looking forward to getting these for the Stormcast miniatures but I am not too excited about putting together the snapfit miniatures

[@guleri]

Great video, love the fun twist with the rats showing up.

[@josephzimmer5385]

I always love Jen's non-metallic metal and it makes me want to start doing it again myself

[@sebuko69]

LOVE this Skaven Skits !! hahahaha love you guys !!

[@Nordic_Redhead]

Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a video. A Tabletop Time video. A Tabletop Time video with rats. And rats make me crazy. Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a video. A Tabletop Time video. A Tabletop Time video with rats. And rats...

[@TheRunningLeopard]

I totally need this box, says I, who have like a total of nearly 80 clanrats

[@louisbuss6068]

A tip from an old Graffiti painter with spray cans, is to jump on them standing upright. It compresses the last gasses and moves the "straw" inside closer to the bottom of the can. You would be surprised how much extra paint you can get out of them. Hurts the foot in thin shoes though..

[@needfoolthings]

Jumping up and down always compresses and releases the gasses with me, alright.

[@77loka]

I bet Jen is painting all the models in the end... thanx Jen.

[@ElEnanoAr]

Hey Dave, have you tried black 2.0 or one of those "blackest black" paints to paint the inside of the cowls?

[@DrakeossDragoon]

Anyone else just picturing Jazza walking in seeing the cheese and wine and just going "Oh office snacks " and then digging in before anyone notices or stops him ? lol maybe that is how Dave finally becomes the big boss of the channel lol

[@ambuknight]

I love your stormcast eternals designs VERY MUCH I wonder how they look if you made like a Fallen variant say Give them Glowing horns form their hoods and Upsidedown wings of some kind like Darksiders demons

[@V_lord11]

If you need a retributor armour spray cheaper, I could not recommend colour forge more. They have a hole range of sprays colour-matched with citadel paints and i know they have one for retributor armour because I have one.

[@---we1ok]

Holy shit the rat bits were all amazing.

[@TheDoomertron]

The beauty of the Skavens is we are sooo...soo many!! Hihihi

[@WolfTau]

Great video. Liked and subscribed.

[@KiyokaMakibi]

Can you tell me what mask you used for spraying?

[@DudexNOR]

Does the Knight-Questor come with a helmeted head?

[@scepteredisle]

this episode escalated out of nowhere lol ....

[@georgeaitken2719]

Still on sale in the shops

[@TabletopTime]

Not the greatest launch!

[@AcoraZ3RO]

I might have missed it, but how did you do the bone colored pauldrons on the stormcast?

[@TabletopTime]

Khaki by Vallejo, then mix it with wraith bone in 2/3 really quick stages and blend it up to a highlight, then pure white spot highlight, then glaze wraithbone to blend. It sounds like a lot but it's all done wet and only takes a minute or two

[@CrussaderGrarl]

i love the little skitz^^

[@garfusa2]

I still have my dominion box unopened and sealed. Is that bad?

[@Brotherofthe4thCompany]

Skaven reveal: “Rats” by Ghost plays Stormcast Eternals reveal: “Fury of the Storm” by Dragonforce plays

[@Fan_of_the_hobby]

Could’ve used those rat ogres for csm units

[@Kitbash.Carnage]

😮❤❤️ loved the video bro

[@Wolfineer_]

*clickbait* "You wouldn't believe this videos bodycount!" Those rats look amazing, I have no idea how jenn had time to still help after that, what a machine!

[@NinjatoBlade]

Where do you get the hoods for prosecutors??

[@NinjatoBlade]

Nvm that’s one expensive conversion lmao, can’t pull that for a full force

[@TabletopTime]

The inner circle comes with about 7 heads for 3 models - It shouldnt be hard to just ask for or buy the spare heads from anyone who plays dark angels - Thats what id do - no way would I waste an inner circle kit on this for the heads (I also left 3 heads for the inner circle should I choose to make them later)

[@ragnarok719]

This non metalic metal on skavens is fabulous! One of the best nmm I've ever seen

[@anders103]

So what is the general timeframe before they start selling the content separately? I just want to get my hands on the Knight-questor for a kitbash

[@TabletopTime]

My guess is we will see "starter packs' of various sizes at some point soon after launch like 40k. Questor might be cheapest purchased in one of those, might not exist we genuinely don't know. But I'd say individually you will be waiting a few months

[@ethannass3651]

I guess you could thin regular retributor armour into an airbrush but I understand if it’s not the same.

[@TabletopTime]

The actual colour is different, which is really bad from GW perspective

[@ethannass3651]

@@TabletopTime you just said words that are insane and I will never trust labels again.

[@dannydynasty8507]

I want to play the game and certainly have enough models to play spearhead if not a full 1000 point game but I really don’t wanna pay 50 bucks for a rule book that is subject to change. Anyone know how long the rule book will be viable and do I need to buy a specific book for the faction I play

[@3picdermis223]

It may be the heat headache speaking, but that one aggressive looking blonde Stormcast looks a bit like Brent vom Goobertown

[@goforitpainting]

Really cool.

[@Urherion]

Rats of unusual size? In Australia? That shouldn't really surprise anyone....

[@ClarissaMeyer]

Those all turned out so good. And you have to do somehing abut those rats. Maybe stop spoiling them with cheese and wine? (I love the silly little stories!)

[@kosachilles2504]

How much is this box for Australia?

[@CadiasFinest]

Mousetrap. Thats a blast from the past

[@Notnotnotnotnotnotnotnot]

You could definitely buy the skaventide box for bits to kitbash a Skaven genestealer cult proxy. The horned rat is cooler than the four armed emperor anyways.

[@MrWildEast]

i recently got into warhammer 40k and this box makes me want to go for AOS

[@syd4890]

Ah yes it has has begun: the flood of "content creators" promoting "the best starter set ever until the next best starter set ever" from a company everybody keeps moaning about bad rules, predatory market tactics, bloat, and making model ranges irrelevant so that you rebuy the "updated" version. Great content 🎉

[@TabletopTime]

It is the best box. The rest of what you said is ALSO true.

[@bobbyg8474]

I know it’s weird, but struggling that you ripped the instructions 🤷‍♂️🥺❤️

[@Keram-io8hv]

These Prosecutors sold Skaventide for me

[@kurisi5563]

Cant wait to sell those discount space marines yes yes

[@ShuTheIdiot]

Can't wait to buy those discount space marines maybe maybe

[@jacawandersmok9043]

3:20 expet the dice; but thas are easy to get it

How cool would it be if you took the female members of the stormcast eternals and kit bashed a sister of battle with it?

[@bearnecessities9568]

Ahhhh, the rats got wine and chee....... wtf..... 😅

[@RuthlessMojo]

$400 Australian? No thank you. I’d prefer to spend that on resin. I have thousands of STL files to print. A much better investment of my money.

[@TabletopTime]

Enjoy your hobby of 3D printing!

[@RuthlessMojo]

@@TabletopTime Don’t get me wrong. I love Games Workshop’s stuff, but for what it is, some hard bound books and a bunch of plastic sprues, it’s overpriced. I recently purchased Dominion for $200 AUD and I’m very happy with it. At that price it’s easier to get into. In all fairness though it’s not just Games Workshop who have some very steep prices. As soon as you put the word “hobby” near a product it automatically doubles or triples in price. I always try to hobby on a budget, and to that end I am always making my own hobby supplies and sourcing tools and brushes, etc. in non-hobby stores. I actually make my own paints, primers, washes and pigment powders. I also make effects paints, diorama materials and other things I may need. But that’s just me. Really enjoy your channel and what you guys do.

[@kissfan6321]

GW ripping off people again!! Stopped playing years ago as the prices were too high and the fact that they bring out a new version of the game every three years! Then you have to buy a new army book each time. How people still play this shit is beyond me.

[@MikePawlak]

I was not ready for dead Rat-Murray. That was great!

[@RyanEdwardsVA]

Same. The sudden cut to the tiny trap on his head having killed him got me real good. Brilliant. Very 5 Second Films-like.

[@thomasbraden8242]

Jen either has the patience of a saint or is crazy. All those rats and nmm? Kudos to you for pushing through to the end they look fantastic. Dave stellar job on your builds. That tip about the gold is something worth trying, thanks. And Murray that giant rat is sick, no seriously he looks ill, you might want a Vet to look at him. Great job one and all. Thanks for this awesome video.

[@caseyjasey4446]

JEN!!! NMM!!!! ON THE CLAN RATS!!!!!!

[@caveychip7510]

The idea of the twilight sentinels being based somewear inbetween hysh and ulgu, which seems impossible lore-wise, Except for the fact that uhl-gysh exists, A.K.A were the aelven god imprisoned slaanesh. (Which would explain why there so arogant in battle reports) So well done on accidentally creating one of the most interesting home bases for a storm host EVER

[@TabletopTime]

The idea was their stormkeep literally watches the ulgu gate on the hysh side, and they frequently garrison uhlgysh

[@caveychip7510]

Verry cool, thanks for clarification.

[@jacksond420]

Finally!!!!! Nah jk let’s go it’s tabletoptime

It isn’t here though. Regular folk can’t get it.

[@toakrikitt]

is it bad that I want to see the mousetrap gameboard converted into a Skaven wargameing terrain now?

[@scottperkins5038]

There are no rats under the studio.

[@tigermaps5493]

Cool

[@lordravenblade]

A Warlock Engineer is called that because the character is both a warlock and an engineer. “Warplock” is an adjective describing how something works. Think of a matchlock musket or flintlock pistol, except instead of a match or flint igniting the powder it uses a warpstone action of some sort.

[@Surge7-hs63k]

I hope the new models that come after this boxset for both the Stormcast and Skaven arn't just more boring hero's, and are monsters, dragons, battline units, and elite units like the newer giant-er rat ogre thing (can't remember the name), im already disappointed we got yet another hero revealed (the one with wings), like Gw just give us some dracontith battline units like Tempesters but have wings and no riders and come as a unit of 3!!!!! THAT WOULD BE AWESOME, MORE DRACONITH UNITS!!!

[@TabletopTime]

I'm so excited we got a winged hero. Amazing. Can now lead flights of angels.

[@HarrenZepter]

Those Skaven look so good. The colour scheme slaps so hard. How long did it take Jenn to paint all those rats?

[@TabletopTime]

A shockingly quick time. Maybe two days today

[@brotquel1592]

Dave, I have a quick suggestion that is... honestly such a small detail I don't know if it's even worth the effort, but I thought I would put it out there anyway. To reinforce the idea of the Diablo-style empty hoods, wave you considered getting a pot of that "darkest black" paint, or whatever it's called? The one that barely reflects any light and makes things painted with it like a hole into space? I know it's expensive, but you would need so little for each hood that it could last really long. Again, it's a minuscule detail, but I just thought it would be neat.

[@LiliaArmoury]

i'm surprised dave didn't blast one of the rats with lightening sith style

[@noxion4143]

Great Diabolo color scheme, cant wait to get my hands onto the box and paint the Stormcasts very Soulslike

is pronouncing it "re-TRI-but-or" instead of "RET-ri-BUT-or" an Australian thing?

[@dalefoster4561]

Don't get the Tamiya Thin craze, just seems to evaporate before I can attach the pieces. What am I doing wrong? Just lack of speed and/or eyesight? Also, GW make amazing models BUT putting them together is a nightmare these days. Just to protect their IP and stop conversions/copying we have stupid assembly configurations etc. Just been doing Sisters Novitiates with face plates to glue on ??!! And Gaunts Ghosts with a wig the size of a pin head. As you guy's said, I am an "experienced modeller" and I struggle, so how do kids cope, even with adult help - ARGHHHH !!!!!!!!!

[@hughmac7423]

They look very good, I have enough of a plastic crack problem with 40K, Kill Team, CMON games and a collection that goes back to 1990's, so I won't be getting Warhammer Fantasy.

[@SpaceBiscuits]

Have you tried the Gaunlet Gold spray paint by Colour Forge? They claim it's colour matched to Retributer Gold. I'm a big fan of the colour forge range, but haven't tried Gauntlet Gold myself.

[@footrot17]

Least it’s not a goblin problem like what plaguing Zimbabwe

[@brionl4741]

Even if you did use NMM on the rats, at least you did them the correct rusty, crusty style. So many people doing Skaven with bright shiny metal like they were High Elves or something. I actually do most of my Skaven metals as bronze.
