[@brendanarmstrong7802]

2:00 - But they DID include enough terrain in the box to play the game. That's the trick that they're not saying out loud. This isn't truly an Age of Sigmar 4.0 starter box. This is a full boxed game of Spearhead, with two complete armies, a hardcover rulebook, and everything you'd need to start playing (except dice).

[@torok8974]

[@koenvandiepen7651]

In fact it is two games cause you can play aos 4.0 whit that and spearhead. Which is not the same game. Only a verry similar game

Leviathan was the same way for 10th edition. 2 combat patrols, plus a few extra models.

[@petermartin9224]

The terrain is meant for the Spearhead mode from what I've seen on warcom. Spearhead is more the interesting development for me as with Leviathan, yes, you had two combat patrols in the box, but that was it. With the AoS version, you're getting all rules upfront and in a separate hardback and boards.

[@Warpedlogical]

As I do my morning commute to work, you’re “how” is ingrained in my head so when I play these video in the background, I now scream “how” & point a finger at the closest car. Where are my marbles?

[@lostmarbles5020]

Lost like mine.

[@greybearddnd2417]

I understand that AOS is not really your game but: The terrain is perfectly made for the new Spearhead Format and is supposed to be used on the Warcry sized board, not for a full 2000pts Match Rule Games. The Box is more or less the same price as the Leviathan box but contains much higher point values then Leviathan did. Depending on how points might change with the new edition, these are more then 1000 Points each and actually playable (as opposed to getting totally mismatching Heroes / Units in Leviathan) Stormcast did somehow resemble Space marines early on, but these new Sculpts are much more their own identity. And FYI purity seals origin from Warhammer Fantasy, especially Flagellants, so having them on AOS miniatures makes more sense, then 40k adapting them :P

You can take stormcasts , paint them gold, give them custodes spears and it is hard to see the difference.

I am genuinely excited for this box. I love the fact that Stormcast Eternals have more of an identity, instead of resembling fantasy Space Marines. Can't wait to see what other new models they bring out in the new edition for Age of Sigmar.

[@johnhildenbrand2642]

Not gonna lie, the Skaven are the big deal for me, but having a respectable list for folks who display an interest is a big thing for me, and stormcast being an elite army means less painting for more fun, I'll probably not run them much if ever, (maybe a few times for the lulz) but I have to admit, they look great, especially the flying dudes even if I know what's coming (snapped wingtips, broken hearts etc)

[@greybearddnd2417]

Agreed on the Stormcast, they moved their visuals A LOT since their original release. But of course they cannot completely re-ivent them. But these new models are much better.

​@@juzkfulI agree. I have a nice gaming club nearby and they don't even PLAY Age of Sigmar there 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@kikolokopo_toys]

I think they rumbled about the textures because they want new people to buy contrast paints more often. Texture is what all the youtube channels talk about when painting with contrast, and for new people understanding what texture is isn't probably the easiest job ever (?), so mentioning that your minis have good and interesting textures, will help you sell your expensiver than gold paints

"It's the launch box and they should cut you a deal" is a wild thing to say when already play warhammer and openly admit you get not a little but alot more than the 40k 10th box...you get the ghb with it. So for 15 bucks more, you get 14 more models 4 terrain pieces and a generals handbook. It gets old hearing 40k players feel like 'My games more popular and if you want me to even look at your game, you have to sell me more than leviathan for 80 bucks, because I deserve it and I play the more popular game.' Look into AoS more as it sells out of kits and sits out of stock not as much as 40k but it's not far behind.

[@chaoticzer0]

Yeah I agree with you on his take.. I had to stop watching because it felt so entitled. Like you said it's $15 bucks more than Levi was and we get more models and terrain for Spearhead. Like what else do you want lmao

[@simonak9699]

- A single evening at the restaurant and going out for drinks is 100$ CAD, easy. - A single AAA videogame is 89$ CAD + taxes, easy. - A single box of 40K Combat Patrol is now 200$ here in Canada. For like 15-20 miniatures. - With Skaventide, for 300$, I'm getting weeks (if not months) of hobby time. Assembling, airbrushing, painting, playing - not to mention the time to enjoy reading both books cover to cover. These new edition starter boxes for AoS/40K are BY FAR the best value-for-money products sold by Games Workshop. Period. Auspex Tactics made a value breakdown, and ballparked the regular MSRP for individual components at around 900$, and that's not including the terrain and some of the Spearhead cards. I will also note that this channel made a "what to buy for KillTeam in 2024" video about 3 months ago, in which you said the Octarius box offered great value. That Octarius box was 240$ CAD, and included objectively way less in terms of gameplay and hobby elements.

[@mazt3rst3w67]

You mentioned them saying stormcast is all dark and grit and that they’re trying to push the narrative of them losing a bit of themselves each time they die. That’s always been a thing tho…. They’ve always been that way for all stormcast

[@Brighton24601]

0:45 “they had the reveal that there would later be a reveal. But now we’re later!” This absolutely feels like it comes from Space Balls “When will then be now?” “Soon…”

[@KamenRiderGreed]

I *LOVE* this Launch Box! Sure, it might be pretty expensive, but I know that I'm getting *everything* that I need to start 4th edition. Including the year's Generals Handbook for matched play. I'm also very excited for the Stormcast, I think you're being a bit too sour on them, I think the modern Stormcast look has drifted alot further from Space Marines than you claim. And I think you should really compare the new Stormcast to the old sculpts they're replacing, the Liberators, Prosecutors, Knight-Questor and Lord-Veritant look *SO* much better than their original iterations, far more than the "15%" you claim in the video. Also, I hope you realize that the "edgey armor" on some of these new Stormcast is supposed to represent the ones closest to losing their humanity. That's why they have skulls on their shields instead of the usual stylized Sigmar face. Also, the Reclusians have one-handed axes(styalized ones at that if you compare them to the other Stormcast with axes in this box) while the Praetors have Halberds/Poleaxes, which are completely different weapons. Finally, there's not "3 different eras of Gryph-Hound." The Gryph-Hounds we got in 3rd edition werent wearing radically different armor like the Thunderstrike Stormcast, the Lord-Imperitant from Dominion had a Gryph Hound with an armored head, but thats it. The Gryph-Hounds that came with the Knight Judicator were just in more dynamic poses, but they were still just regular Gryph-Hounds. Finally, the Lord-Veritant's companion isn't a "Gryph-Hound" it's called a "Gryph-Crow" yes, I'm going to be that pedantic. My last point is about the Skaven, I think you're being a bit too hard on the Rat Ogors. They're *supposed* to be Frankenstein mutants, so the separation of fur and flesh just sells that effect of them being horrid abominations, to me at least.

[@nevilovermann797]

I really like the most recent reveal-show. I wish there was even more conversation with the designers and studio staff, but I really enjoyed it!

[@PlainBoredom]

7:12 the new gryphhound doesn't look like the other gryphhounds, cause it's actually a gryphcrow, which steals souls i think??? it's a totally different thing, trust me same with the big mounts, where they have gryphhorses, gryphlions, gryph dragons & dragon lions & actual dragons. it's just the same 3 animals remixed

[@seabastian7996]

[@ironsevs]

16:19 would love to see how you did the Wendigo build/fur/paint there

[@justaguyperson]

I found this a little harsh on the “just looks like space marines” point for stormcast. They just…don’t

[@UniquelyAwful]

15:15 Gatling guns/miniguns have the extra barrels so they can cool down before having to fire again. It’s still just one “chamber” that all the shots are going through. The fire rate would melt a barrel if it were just one, but now you have 1/6th the heat generation from the 6 barrels instead!

[@Phoenixillusion18]

Those terrain pieces are specifically for the Spearhead mode, which you get everything you need for in this box , a playmat and a hard cover book with the rules. So this box is more than 2 armies + core rules , it also includes everything you need to get started for the new mode, this is why i think its better than Dominion , it has that new player appeal.

[@OntarioGuy430]

The static grass does actually look really cool - it gives more dimension and life to the model!

[@GuardianAssassin]

4th Edition Box looks awesome.

[@Eagi85]

Someone might have already mentioned this, but multi barrel weapons are usually built for heat dissipation, letting the recently fired barrel cool down before having it rotating back around for an other shot. You might be thinking of a revolver handgun when considering rotating recharging, but in those cases you usually have only one barrel. Also I think it's meant to fire Warp-stone instead of ooze, but not quite sure on that point.

[@oreolaw9911]

the models look cool and if I liked the factions better I would maybe get it but nothing will beat the Dino dudes for me , so it looks like they will be my first AOS Army

[@porcu12345]

The generals handbook is in there too which hasn't been in any of the starter boxes before.

[@jimmygcolour]

Great to see I might be painting more Skaven in the future!

[@CanonessEllinor]

On the topic of what the other 50% of the newer Stormcast design is: it’s Chaos Warriors. They look like Chaos Warriors. The belts, the feathered cloaks, the chainmail, the weapons wrapped in strips of fabric, the armor plates on the sides of the thighs… it’s all classic Chaos Warrior design elements, smoothed out and given a celestial finish. I’ll eat my hat if they were not a major inspiration behind the Thunderstrike design. I’m certainly not against this, btw, Chaos Warriors are one of GW’s most beloved and striking classic designs for a reason. They are exactly what I’d go for if asked to create “space marines, but for fantasy.” At this point, most of the original “hoplite space marine” design idea has been removed in favor of “Order Warriors,” and it is probably for the better.

[@aerynmusick4548]

That Skaven Warlock Engineer or whatever REALLY makes me want to paint it. That’s a cool friggin model.

[@maxxon99]

GW tried the low cost starter boxes with Battle for Skull Pass and Battle for Macragge. Those were like 40 euros each, but they didn’t have a full hardcover rulebook. Skull Pass had over 100 models so it was great value even if most of them were goblins. Macragge wasted the space with those crashed lander bits. You could say the newer small starter boxes are kinda same idea.

[@Dad-bodgaming]

In Australia- Dominion was about 286.00 - it was 190 as you state for your area. If we go off that and the information you have stated. 260.00 for the prize - so the skaventide box for Australia is likely to be a 400 dollar entry price.

[@samlivera4915]

Definitely want to see that grass idea done in a video

[@tbarf]

11:00 The liberators are just hallowed knights. Not part of the guys who are on the verge of losing themselves. So the reclusians, veritant, terminus and the guy on the gryph are the ones more close to losing themselves. I want to say the prosecutors aren’t either but their wings are kind of 50/50

I just got back into Miniature painting and Warhammer stuff after moving to Tokyo and leaving my stuff behind in Germany. So since I was into 40k I thought it's cool to go more into AoS since I also saw a new edition coming out soon and got a box of the regular dudes from Seraphon. That pricetag for this box is insane if it's true. I also think it would be better to keep this box on a lower end ( yeah maybe make a loss ) but get people into it make them buy then more stuff afterwards. Colors, more miniatures etc. I just dropped a few hundred to get all the tools and colors again -.- now this box is so much?

[@mastodonseven]

Hard to make a loss when often the boxes cost more to produce than the models themselves.

[@TheLemonFox]

I think the paintjob hurts the rat ogres I reckon they're a lot cooler than they look. But the old box is so unbelievably ugly maybe I'm biased. My faves are the ones that came in the Fantasy Battles Isle of blood box. They're so monopose but just brilliant iconic poses.

[@kayosiiii]

I suspect the lower price point would have been difficult with the two books, the Minis are a *lot* cheaper for GW to make, they can throw them in to make the whole package look like a sweater deal. I would also guess that we will see some lower cost entry points into the game like we saw with the last edition.

[@TheRoamingbison]

The price that people are assuming based on those terms and conditions is about what we should expect based on their past boxes like Dominion. This box has two expensive hardcover books, rule cards, and terrain on top of a slightly bigger model count than Dominion. Add on the recent GW price hike and it’s right what we should expect.

[@TheJALT2]

Also it’s two spearhead units plus some extra models for both sides. the price would be worth at a minimum of $240 just on the fact it’s two spearhead units, being $120 a piece based on the pricing of the SCE spearhead box and the cities of sigmar spearhead. Idk seems fair if you consider any of games workshops other prices fair

[@Bread_and_Roses]

I'm gearing up to paint these and I would really really love to watch one of your videos as inspirations. My play group are into age of sigmar and so I'm I'm using the same bases as the orc player so that I can say I'm conquering the swamp. I hope you have a lovely day

[@JMcMillen]

Given that you get more than two Spearheads worth of models ($140 each), the AoS core rule book ($70), the Spearhead book ($50-$60), 1 sprue terrain ($60), 1 game board ($30), and assorted accessories (cards, measuring sticks, etc...), if you needed at least most of it, it's not a horrible deal (considering GW prices). The rest you could sell below retail to try and make some of your money back. Or go in with someone else and split the cost based on how much of the box each person is getting.

[@hephesto555666]

In you're already in the hobby sure, as a pick up & get started box that is quite a step buy-in price. Which could easily be cut down by replacing that weak and massively overpriced terrain by a sheet of cardstock buildings.

And just to make that clear, the price was set to 265 USD if bought directly from GW, the content is worth roughly 750 USD if you would buy the content individually, even considering getting Spearhead Boxes, etc. The 2 Hardcover Books, the board, terrian and the Card Sets for Spearhead and GHB are easily worth the full price of the Box as opposed to buying them seperate. And then you get like 70+ Miniatures for free.

the terrain in the box is for the Spearhead format included in it... 11:40 the losing personality through reforge thing isn't new. It's been there at least since i started playing in 2nd edition. What's new is the Ruination chamber guys, who consist of veterans this happened to as ofter as to complete that journey. They already lost virutally all of their humanity.

These new Stormcast look like someone covered them in glue and then rolled them in a bits box. Prosecutors and Liberators look great though.

[@brokenheroics8223]

Stormcast gonna make some awesome looking Grey Knights.

Thing I'll give the skaventide box over the leviathan box: the two armies actually feel like two armies. The models in leviathan are cool but they don't feel like armies, just a random collection of new models

[@CrimsonTemplar2]

The Skaven look fantastic. They’re what’s going to move this boxed set. The Stormcast look like they’re in the box to facilitate a range refresh. The troops look better than the old sculpts, but don’t knock my socks off. The characters have character, but since I’m Not a huge fan of the faction it’s a bit meh.

So the price point is not only two armies the core book and the spearhead board/terrian/rule cards. But you also get the Generals hand book which is for competitive play right at the start of the edition. Am I defending the price point? No it’s pretty high but you do get your moneys worth compared to last edition since the GHB was later on and like $40-$50? (It’s been a minute since I played) so it’s nice it’s in the launch box.

Hey Jay, if you decide to make Drukhari terrain, could you include scatter terrain that replaces the card pieces in Gangs of Commorragh?

$450 is pure insanity. That’s £240. Why is it 50% more expensive in Australia? We have less tax than the UK.

[@sporelight]

Scaven power all their tech with wyrdstone (warpstone) all their guns shoot wyrdstone irradiated stone shards. The pipes on the gatling gun is just a link to the wyrdstone power source in the back.

That new Questor is going to be my base for a Kaldor Drago conversion for sure.

[@intzbk1]

I'm excited for the new box because I'm a Skaven fan. For the new mounted Sigmarine, I think it would look better with some wings and a Bretonnian head. Seriously though, I am excited about Spearheads because Combat Patrols are what we seem to play the most for 40k. Every time I see the little humans that go with the Reclusians reminds me of History of the World's "Remember, thou art mortal."

I would have loved to seen the wendigo painted up, it's absolutely awesome!

[@maciejmazur2622]

260$ ? Congrats GW, your starter boxes are officially more expensive than a budget 3d printer

[@handlechar568]

dunno what they were thinking with the hallowed knights "silver" paint scheme for most of the SCE promo. a few images somewhere show them in the OG mostly gold scheme and they look much more striking and jucier, and still "textured" and "wow I must have" to my eyes

[@excessiveclownery4375]

As someone who's never bought stormcast before these ones look great
