The Worst Warhammer Kit I’ve Ever Built

[@Stormeris]

I hate the way new models are designed. Absolutely awful and obviously are that way to prevent conversions and kitbashing

[@dr.sommercamp3435]

This ARE old Kits! Get over it!

[@Stormeris]

@@dr.sommercamp3435 What the fuck are you talking about? these are new modern kits created for the Old World game.

[@WarbossTae]

Oof. These are the new minis designed by GW to be used in The Old World. They weren’t a part of Bretonnia’s old range.

[@WarbossTae]

Yup!

[@WarbossTae]

It’s sad to see them next to a unit of old school Bretonnian Knights of the Realm.

[@RobotTanuki]

Building an old and new GW kit is night and day. I was building the Ork Storm Boyz, Nobz and Lootas recently and they were so much fun to make as I swap, test out parts, poses, and just making unique models. And these were from 10+ years ago. Then I remember building the Eldar Dark Reapers which are "modern" GW kits in which each model is chopped up in CAD in 8 or 10 pieces EACH, and 5 models was absolute torture.

[@WarbossTae]

Building orks has to be some of my best memories. Making stories for each character cobbled together from other kits, taking inspiration from the Conversion Corner articles in WD, and showing off my mad creations to my friends at my FLGS, what a time to be alive. Now we get this overproduced horror…

[@Tartersauce101]

I wish GW made kits the old way, they were not only simpler to put together, they were waaaay more poseable not to mention easier to kit bash...why GW does it this way now I don't understand.

[@WarbossTae]

They were so much better. We must return to the old ways!

[@onatgz]

They were so much better. We must return to the old ways!

[@WarbossTae]

The old ways were indeed best. We have fallen far.

[@luketfer]

I'll tell you why they don't do it the old way, to counter third party bits makers essentially. The old Cadian kit let you swap our torsos, heads, arms and legs which meant 3rd party makers could make bits for you to 'sub in' very easily. Ever since GW lost the Chapterhouse Lawsuit the models have been getting progressively less and less kitbash friendly.

[@Tartersauce101]

@@luketfer that's awful. So to protect our product, we will make it worse. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@LordAlbrecht]

I dont think there's anything wrong with the minis themselves but I really hate how with newer kits you spend more time looking for parts on the busy disorganized sprue than actually building the mini. Hyper optimizing the space of the sprue really comes at the cost of the building experience and it sucks

[@WarbossTae]

Great comment, the best example of this is the old crypt ghoul box to the new crypt guard box. Same issue with hyper focus on optimizing space and spreading all the pieces around vs the old way of “this sprue is legs and heads, this one’s torso and arms, knock yourself out, you apes!”

[@georgeaitken2719]

This is a totally new kit compared with the rest of the Bretonian infantry kits this one has the most options sadly it continues the workshop model of Same body different head

[@TheAurgelmir]

Yeah, the newer GW miniatures are nice and detailed - but at some point it becomes too much detail. I'm also not sure I like the larger size models GW is going for these days. There's a certain charm to janky heroic scale models. GW models have become overdesigned and soulless by comparison if you ask me.

[@WarbossTae]

I agree completely.

[@TheSupporter76]

Tbh the only thing that irks me is the scale creep with the new foot knights. Even the price isn't as bad as it could be, considering it's just the cost of what two elite infantry boxes would be seven years ago.

[@WarbossTae]

That’s true, I remember when the Empire Greatswords came out in boxes of 10 for $50, I was blown away. Put one of these guys next to a knight of the realm on horse and the scale creep is so evident.

[@umbralobserver]

Being a Bretonnians fan I really want to like this kit but much of it just looks dreadfully cartoonish - particularly in the way some of the helmets look. And to get a transfer sheet that's nothing but Brionne axes with a few fleurs is completely contrary to the individualism their heraldry is supposed to have. The only use I could honestly see for this kit is to spite GW by using these models in their most generic configurations for D&D games. The rest perhaps has some kitbashing potential.

[@WarbossTae]

BRILLIANT! And I 10000000% agree on how dumb the transfer sheet is and how it flies in the face of the individualism of each knight of the realm being special and singular, rather than just one in a unit of identically painted weirdos in silly helmets.

[@odinlindeberg4624]

Using them for D&D wouldn't really do much to "spite"GW, though. Ideally a majority of the playerbase would get out of the GW ecosystem and play other wargames like Bolt Action, Quar, Infinity, Frostgrave, Battletech and so on, but it's a difficult move to make.

[@urthofthenewsun8465]

Foundry Miniatures sell the original metal Bretonnian foot knights under the name ‘Early Medieval/Barons War.’ I mean the 1991 models, not the Grail Knight Heroes on foot.

[@WarbossTae]

Terrific! I took a look at them and got really nostalgic for 1st edition Bretonnians hahaha! Might just order a few.

[@Amin-hl2lj]

Wonder if this is considered legal to play

[@saifernandez8622]

i know you warhammer purist will never accept this, but there are plastic kits out there that are better, cheaper and easier to build than GW. If you want some reccomendations for foot knights, check out either wargames atlantic, fireforge or northstar miniatures.

[@WarbossTae]

Never heard of north star but I agree wholeheartedly with Wargames Atlantic and Fireforge, I even did an unboxing of their knights for Deus Vult years earlier. Quality alternatives for Bretonnian minis.

[@saifernandez8622]

@redouroboros8923 I’m not familiar! I’ll check them out now!

[@scepteredisle]

These models, apparently, were originally the Imperial Reiksguard Foot Knights new plastics for the Empire. For whatever reason they re-purposed these models and altered them. That's why they don't really match the original Knights of the Realm. Very odd.

[@unrealassasination]

Source?

[@WarbossTae]

Really! That does make some sense! Wow I had no idea haha silly GW!

[@LandofMert76]

Wow, even with the larger bases, they don't rank up. Terrible

[@WarbossTae]

It’s a headache. And the way the great weapons have to be glued to the arms and the arms to the body at just the right angle is infuriating…

[@LandofMert76]

Worse than dark eldar scourges?

[@WarbossTae]

Worse, because they expect you to rank these guys up on 25mm squares. Haha I might have to just find the optimal positions for each of them and mark in white out under each base the position in the unit A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, B1, B2…

[@JZStudios2]

They made the bases bigger so you could effectively 'rank up' better, but then they made the models larger and more obtuse to destroy that point completely. I'm glad I switched to 3d printing as I can just scale down the Gallia Knights of Highland Minis to still fit in their old 20mm bases.

[@WarbossTae]

Exactly right. Fantastic observation. Gallia Knights are the real MVP!

[@anglecynn927]

I’m waiting for the Victrix foot knights to come out

[@WarbossTae]

Now I am as well!

[@awordabout...3061]

Fireforge do a beautiful set of simple foot knights if you want something easy to whack together

[@zackcook5123]

For me I actually like it but it's got good and bad. The bad It's fiddly to build A bit too costly Head variety is pretty limited. Monopose The great weapons could do with some visual variety The good Crisp details Great aesthetic Variety of poses which can pair with any arm. Great weapons and hand weapons/Shields. Spares for kitbashing. Sword and board look fantastic. Designs that lend well to traditional bright bretonnian scheme. Still I find it baffling that some kits are so bad to put together. Look at the new Eldar guardians.

[@WarbossTae]

Haven’t had experience with the Eldar but would say that anyone interested in this kit should ONLY assemble them as sword and board. There will be less joins to fight with and you can get on to the painting quicker.

[@holzbergerpeter4480]

Bretons with lizardman in the old warhammerbox from 1996? were the best looking figures of both fractions till today in my point of view. I regret not buying more of these back in the days

[@WarbossTae]

I was sadly out of the game at that point, but I have seen pictures and yes, I agree, those minis were fantastic. The uniformity of the bowmen, all ranked up, what a great visual.

[@Morendie91]

One of GWs big issues is trying to be so much "extra" with there new sculpts, tons of details, tons of bits, weird poses, bigger scales. Then we look at the older sets where the bodies and legs were all seperate but they were modular, you could just cut out all the pieces and not have to look at the instructions unless you wanted certain specific models/looks. Now they have to make each pose unique. Sure its cool but its annoying hobby wise especially if you are working on a huge army. This is a big reason I got into 3d printing, for example I got the new tyranids from the 10th edition box, and I just printed them all instead of assembling the ones I had. Lot of them came whole and even when in parts they were so much less work to assemble. Sometimes I would even just assemble them in the slicer and mass print them whole so soon as they are cured I put directly on the base. Hard to go from that to 20+ pieces per model.

[@WarbossTae]

Yeah! Bigger and bigger more and more. The new Darkoath, was a perfect opportunity to just update the old Chaos Marauders, but they went Cities of Sigmar and made assembling each one (especially the horsemen) like putting together a gundam kit. I think many of us have bits boxes that are separated by torsos/legs/heads and there’s just no way to do that anymore. They’re all monopose grouped together to fit a certain way. Keep up the great work, love all you do.

[@Choom89]

I do agree with legs+torso then arms and heads separate should be possible. If there are this many pieces they might as well do push fit.

[@WarbossTae]

Exactly. The fact that the arm sockets are so difficult to fit the arms to and that the wrist glue points are so small for the great weapons really make this a turnoff. The sword and shield options are better, but the design of the minis overall are just not as good as they should be.

[@miketogwell1000]

Try the Wargames atlantic footknights instead, 24 miniatures for £25..... Or footsure miniatures barons war range

[@WarbossTae]

Yoooo! Thanks for the tip! Gonna look into them right now!

[@Mortechai]

Dude, been watching you for years, one of my favorite channels. You said it right at 2:00, back when you first started doing videos like 15 years ago, I was all about building models, I loved it, I could sit and build all day. I don't know if it's the kits these days versus back then, but yeah, I totally agree that I just don't have the patience or desire to build kits like I used to. I find myself more and more going for model ranges from back in the day (see my entire metal mordian iron guard army) that are single piece models....glue to the base...done....

[@WarbossTae]

An entire metal guard army is a thing of beauty. Thank you for your years of viewership, my friend. I think it’s a combination of us getting older and the kits no longer making as much sense to assemble. Imagine if there were no instructions for these newer kits! The old kits didn’t require a masters degree to figure out that arms and legs go on torsos with the heads on top! What a time it was to build and assemble our minis when we were younger and our imaginations ran wild.

[@scepteredisle]

I think for a lot of us the fun is in posing the models and putting them in cool positions... which you can't do anymore with GW models.

[@markgrehan3726]

And to think people used to kitbash the pewter models that were completely monopose.

[@WarbossTae]

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

[@jamesespinosa690]

And they looked a million times better than the modern crap.

[@WarbossTae]

I agree completely. Used to comb the pages of White Dwarf to find all the amazing original conversions.

[@danielhampson]

My beard is long enough to remember the time you could buy individual components of any kit they made! GW today is a profit driven corporation. The CAD designed models they churn out are no longer art but profit.

[@Rottenflieger.]

It seems like The Old World and Legiones Imperialis both got a cheaper treatment when it comes to their transfer sheets, only including white and black transfers on the same sheet, rather than the lovely multicoloured stuff you'd find in a space marines kit. Not sure if as specialist games they're given a much small budget for accessories like transfer sheets. To be honest I am surprised to see transfers in this kit at all!

[@WarbossTae]

I hadn’t thought of that but that is a great point. Hedge their bets by shaving costs and only producing boring black and white transfer sheets. Sounds about right. Such a sad departure of the transfer sheets of old!

[@catosicarius3262]

Ranking up models in Warhammer has always been an issue. Consequence of the square bases.

[@joshwenn989]

If anything it used to be much, much worse, given that the move to _slightly_ bigger bases for The Old World means that each model has a little bit more breathing room. Archers are still an absolute pain I've yet to figure out how to rank up decently, though.

[@WarbossTae]

True, though some are worse than others. I blame the abandoning of the slotta base!

[@WarbossTae]

I need to crack open my box of archers and see how I can do them. Maybe diagonally? I’ll report with my findings soon.

[@kurukblackflame]

You definitely can't just throw modern GW kits together like you used to be able to, but the new way has lead to some really dynamic and cool looking miniatures. Take your time and pay close attention to the instructions and you'll be okay. The fact that the idea of trimming off a small amount of flash from a component annoys you suggests that you may not have been in the right frame of mind to attempt this.

[@WarbossTae]

That’s a good point. I may not have been in the best frame of mind to put these together. I think while I was assembling these I was also stuck in the rhythm of “old Bretonnian” model assembly, where everything was so easy in comparison. Im sure to new players this isn’t as jarring, as it aligns to the new way of their model designs.

[@Svengar]

I did buy this kit when it was first released but so far I’ve only used one of the heads to add variety for my men at arms champions from the Bretonnian army box which used all old sculpts which were super easy to put together. I really like the look of the minis but it is a shame they suffer from scale creep and there are too many parts to assemble. For all the extra parts they seem to have reduced the variability in poses, I’m not really sure who they are designed to please or if it is just the cheapest way for them to be manufactured and perhaps combat recasters but it doesn’t seem like the consumer has been considered as much as they should have been No doubt once I have mine built up lots of these criticisms will be forgotten but in the meantime I’m doing other easier and quicker hobby projects such as painting up a 2000 point Vampire Count army of which I’m on track to have finished in three months (about 150 minis)

[@WarbossTae]

Honestly I think I’d have more fun painting up 2k of VC than one box of these foot knights lol Great points, this would be better marketed as a box of bits than an actual unit haha the extra dangly bits like pouches and scabbarded daggers don’t do anything to cover up weird joins or anything like that. I’ve completely stopped putting them on halfway through and they look exactly the same as the other ten.

[@marchhare22-lm9on]

Have had this in my hands several times at my FLGS and just can’t bring myself to purchase it at that price point. Might as well just pay extortionist prices for the old models and get what I really want. Have to agree on the face thing. Why do they do this when you can only build it one way? It’s not adding any value.

[@WarbossTae]

Isn’t that crazy? I’ve had that experience where I get so close to buying something but I just can’t justify the cost. And when you compound that with your own research (video unboxings, reviews, etc) I don’t see too many people praising this kit to the point that it justifies the price. The face thing is just wild.

I can ensure you there is an abyss between this and other kits. Whoever made the cuts for the sprue is either and underpaid young sculpor or a really overworked one. For comparison the new Stormcast kit are boring but they don't have every single mold line in literally the wrong place. I mean, there is one that is no more than a hair away from the side of an armor plate, it would have been so easy to just match it with the side of the plate but no, let's make it visible and in the wrong place!

@@WarbossTae Oh boy. I’m going to need the blessing of the Lady for sure! I wanted 20!

The new chaos terminator kit is just as bad. Ive only built 1 of them and the sprue has been sitting for months

[@WarbossTae]

Sounds horrible. I hate these new kits. They’re torture.

I just got this box for the Joan of arc chick honestly

[@WarbossTae]

eBay, brother!

[@legiox217]

@@WarbossTae lol yeah might’ve been cheaper ! Oh well , got another box of plastic laying around for “one day”

[@Christian-l7b6j]

Oh i miss the mid 90's !

[@WarbossTae]

It truly was the golden age. Anything was possible and anything could be kitbashed.

[@dariostabletopminatures]

THANKS!

[@WarbossTae]

You’re very welcome. Thanks for checking it out!

[@ChaseDaOrk3767]

If nobody wants it, I'd be happy to take it tbh

[@WarbossTae]

I’ll happily part with my exclusive, new, Assembled Bretonnian Knights of the Realm on Foot for $94 😂

[@ChaseDaOrk3767]

@@WarbossTae Unfortunately I don't have any money, sorry I would've like to like to use those Bretonnian Knights to kitbashing into Feudal World Chaos Cultists/Traitor Guard

[@WarbossTae]

There are a ton of bits and great weapons options on the sprues left over. Do you have any Bretonnian players in your area? Maybe you could work out a trade for some Chaos stuff, or find some bits on eBay. Good luck to you! Sounds like a fun project!

[@leebyrne7064]

Amazing models, dont know what this guy is talking about.

[@WarbossTae]

Just my opinion.

[@leebyrne7064]

@@WarbossTae i know, each to there own. But i think these are fantastic models but there are lots i dont like that people like too. Example i dont like most of the orc and goblin range.

Ey mang we need to game! Somehow. Great vid!

Two words: Ork Kommandos.

[@WarbossTae]

Haha they’re pretty rough. Especially the old metal lads. Gotta pin and green stuff those joins, for sure. I prefer these. Much more character, easier to build in resin, and the best of all the third party Ork kommando alternatives I’ve found: artelw.com/Skawt%60n%60Rekkon-Skwad-5-ladz-p139168289?aff=31
