Thanks for enjoying the episode everyone, the comments have been extremely fun so far. I do hope people looking to get into the game get some actual knowledge out of the rather clickbait setup for the challenge. A LOT of effort went into this one, hopefully it shows. I also learned the UK's criminally low prices INCLUDE TAX? So your prices are actually like 10-20% lower than they look already? We need to colonize the UK so we can get ahold of cheaper minis.

The best and cheapest way to build a SM army is just to buy HH stuff. You get 20 marines for 70 bucks. Slap the right weapon on them, and you are good as green. You also get 10 terminators for 80. For vehicles, they are the easiest thing to find on eBay.

[@BrandonL337]

This is a very good idea, the way that 30k marines are equipped means that the units transfere to primaris single- weapon units really easily. Buying one box of tactical marines and a weapon upgrade kit can get you 5 "intercessors" 10 "hellblasters" and 5 "infernus squads" for one example. The rhino variants are all gorgeous, new models that are great to put together (with the exception of one part that's a pain) and the land raider proteus is a great model as well.

Idea for "outsourcing" the painting process: Bricky has a couple of Vtubers he's been streaming with lately that have expressed at least a passing interest in 40K tabletop. Perhaps he could convince them to do a 'yapping a painting' stream with a couple of them while you three answer their lore questions? Alternatively, partnering with Ninjon or PlayOn or Squidmar to paint one of the armies could get it done. Or you could host a painting competition where you establish the paint scheme and the contestants pick a unit and get to painting. Yes, there will be some stylistic and skill level differences, but the army would def be unique. And as long as you established the exact colors to be used, then the army will still look cohesive. Winner can get a swag box or a VTT game with you two or get to be a guest on an episode to talk about mini painting or something.

The £ literally being worth $1.28 dollars right now. Also buys way more Warhammer cos they make it here and most of the 3rd party stores ship within the UK for free. So the Adeptus Custodes combat patrol is (logging into the Warhammer store as if I am from the US) $168, which by exchange would be £131, but the combat patrol from GW in England is £100, ($128), and from a third party store I can get the Custodes combat patrol for £80, ($102), with free delivery. So getting an army for $500 in the UK is honestly way way easier, that is around £390, you could also literally get it all new and no ebay needed.

If you wanted to do another AoS episode doing the same thing for AoS now, that 4th edition is all, but here would be super cool. Its starter boxes are also all between 500 to 1000 points. Its honestly really solid.

[@dukedevlan5457]

The fact that 500 dollars is cheap is crazy

[@Ninja_Tude]

What hurts me right now is that I haven't finished my first two armies, I've been looking at necrons, and now you just gave me hope for guard. I really want to build a Canadian themed Guard army... Because using it in 40K just makes the Geneva checklist joke even better

[@Andrew-fr1tp]

$2000? Those are rookie numbers!

[@JohnDoe-jc5kt]

You guys should try the 100 dollar challenge next. I can try and find the video I'm thinking of later if someone wants. I remember them trying to build a 1000 pt army with only 100 dollars, painting them with what supplies are provided by the host and what money they have left. Battling a bunch, and then selling the armies to see who can make their money back, if at all.

[@timvanharen3928]

So how many price increases till the 40k actually describes the cost of collecting 2000 points. And not in dollarydoos

[@That_Insane_Beaver-vy4gk]

56:48 get random people of the street having them learn how to build paint and play in one day

[@sambalzan2561]

The return of the king 👑👑👑 ..... Of saving money.... Also berelio you used the land raider crusader in the bataslate episode no the land raider redeemer

[@drexmartell9803]

Raffle one of the armies off, the person chooses which one out of the armies they want// Then have a competition between yourselves and the person that wins the army in an epic paint off!

[@mrcrowley8889]

Seeing this After starting 5 months ago , spending 5k on 5 armies 😂 i regret nothing !

[@zer0prototype5]

I also love the idea that chaos knights are more wardog heavy. It makes sense to me that fewer full knights would fall to chaos compared to the less appreciated squires piloting their first mech.

[@Shinonvrakking]

Me and my poor financial decisions feel attacked

[@liamboote225]

Honestly something that could be neat for the Guard Army is to paint/model it in a scheme so that if you ever get genestealers you can use the brood brother detachment with the guard. So if it is a guard army, it is an infiltrated army before Assencion day, so they still act like guard. Then when you play Genestealers they killed their special charecters and joined their brood brothers.

51:23 as a guard play here’s my recommendation. The guard sprew has a ton of left over arms and heads. Print more body’s use the heads and arms and you go from a box of 10 to turn into minimum of 15. With experience you can get it to 20. My favorite thing is people getting into the guard. I hope that my hobby tip helps. That advice works for cadians and (Chad) kriegers. I recommend joining the guard. There is so much depth in the faction. I salute you brad. Welcome to the guard 🫡.

[@DaFro112]

Im gonna be honest, the WHOLE TIME I was listening i was like "this is cool, shame the only mention of my beloved guard is gonna be possibly bullying cadians again" and then you ACTUALLY HAD IT, my day is made

[@NormandyFoxtrot]

Yeah no respect for trying and bonus for success.

[@theotv5522]

Custodies players will soon come out as the wealthiest once FG dies because you don’t have to spend any money anymore.

[@YesterdaysFate]

I loved this! As someone recently buying minis, this was great. Sitting on a bunch of Tau from like 15 years ago, kept watching as many different market places as I could looking for the old CP, so this all felt super relatable right now! Also had to keep telling myself to buy one thing at a time and not just jump to trying to finish off a whole 2k points. I'd love to see a video like this for AoS too if you guys ever end up doing more content for that.

[@HiatoPDSS]

Love the thumbnail similar to the other episode like this Edit: it's even mentioned lol

[@timunderbakke8756]

Now this was a great way for me to live vicariously through you and get hyped about all the pile of potential to paint. I also do this with one guy in our play group who hits our and he comes home with so many armies… one of these days I’m going to build a knights army by occasional purchases at the store.

[@ChristopherM.8]

What a title 😂😅

[@luckmyst3r986]

This was a downright treat to watch, the whole way through Died laughing at some of the subtle jokes thrown in (like the rogal dorn not having a butt)

[@benlloydjones]

Get in, $2000 of poorness

[@JackOfDiceAndThem]

Loved the episode. Just started collecting a Drukhari army and was waiting to hear about them the whole time - first mention was "don't try this with a ridiculously expensive army like... Drukhari".

[@Jornelaz]

OH THIS IS GONNA BE A BANGER

[@KitBrickproductions]

Please make a video like this for age of sigmar, and give Berilio something!

[@ianbulpett4361]

Paying the look-ahead tax

[@cavalierr8029]

Played 40k as a kid during 4th and 5th edition, looking to get back into the hobby now as an adult in my late 20s. Thanks for having very informative vids. Im on a budget and this is a good learning tool so i can figure out what faction i want to play. Cheers

[@bobsalami]

So how is Elden Ring DLC?

[@thepoorhammerpodcast]

I finally had time to finish all Rememberances and Bayle. Going to really enjoy doing randomizer runs with the DLC weapons in the pool for unique feeling runs. Berilio is still mid DLC because someone made him spend 12 days tinkering with the editing on this episode.

[@j0tar0u]

Great episode guys, thanks for doing the work! An idea that I'm sure you've already had: Brad's shrinkflation hypothesis didn't pan out for the holiday boxes, but I bet it sure would for the new combat patrols. I'd love to see you guys explore that and give your opinions on the new boxes in general. Keep up the good work!
