[@anthonyd.1428]

It's nice to see Space Marines get some loving. They never appear in the beginner box.

[@stamir693]

Especially Ultramarines, nice to see the smaller less known chapters getting out in a box 😇

[@andreasehderistoff7223]

Yea its really abying how much love the tau are getting

[@reno239]

Warhammer players try not to complain about new models challenge (impossible)

[@LazyLas]

True

[@rowboat3940]

I mean they’d have to be stupid *not* to put their flagship characters in a starting box. Though I wish they came with more than just ultramarine transfers.

[@_Qan]

I love the new neurogaunts. They remind me of the glyphid wardens from Deep Rock Galactic

[@burrito2456]

ROCK AND STONE

[@Believer1980]

I was thinking of Shriekers from Tremors movies.

[@stopanator2]

Think of this, legally speaking, rocking is more legal than stoning

[@chester1882]

This will be educational for me cause I’ve never been this conscious about 40k at the turn of an edition

[@christiangruening352]

Same

[@MunitionsDudTester]

Prepare for things to become obsolete and others to be sold-out lol

[@adambartholomew6575]

The thing I like best about the Nerogaunts is where the plating is on their bodies. Scientifically, animals evolve to have thicker hide or scales to survive in certain conditions, and Tyranids are masters of adaptation. These are melee units that charge in and rip their targets apart, which means they'll be getting shot at as they close the gap. The thicker carapace is exactly where bullets or lasgun fire would land if they were shot at from the front. It's a very nice attention to detail

[@Rick-rs2mj]

This box set looks pretty cool. I'd love to get back into 40k, I was a 3rd edition player, back when Games Workshop wasn't charging cocaine prices for plastic minis...

[@ra7en114]

cocaine is temporary...plastic is forever!

[@lullabygully4621]

Broooo I actually bought 1000 points in CSM for $150 back in 3rd. Wasnt the most optimal list cause I was only 13 buying with Christmas money.

[@walkerdarin2003]

It has only gotten more expensive but are easier to build!

[@leaveswalker1]

I played during 5th edition, and I’m excited to get back into playing again, and this edition looks like it will be it.

[@colinmorgan2511]

​@@ra7en114 what about bears

[@tyjames3339]

i honestly love the new dread and I'm totally getting one or two for my blood angels, but to me the most exciting thing by FAR is the screamer-killer, im so hyped for my favorite tyranid to get an actual model

[@helios7170]

Dude, I love your energy and your content, you make me smile consistently and your passion is contagious. Thank you

[@sadlyanuxtakustan8950]

I think that the leviathan box is not as expensive as the age of darkness box because it only includes mono-pose minis while the age of darkness box includes all multi part plastic kits.

[@theRemyLuna]

Looking into getting this box, as I'm brand new to W40k. However I just wanted to say that I love your enthusiasm and how you broke down the units in the box. Thanks for the great breakdown.

[@Manus_Factum]

This was a refreshing video to watch, youre so positive and enthusiastic. I love it! I want this box!

[@DodgyDodgyDodgy]

Holy cow this box is probably one of the best boxes I’ve ever seen! Every miniature is epic, and the price is insane value! Can’t wait to get my hands on one as a nid player!

[@sexyatheist69]

$420 is a crazy price

[@malakimphoros2164]

​@@sexyatheist69 Less than you'd pay for Butov minis probably

[@DodgyDodgyDodgy]

@@sexyatheist69 nah but i'm splitting it with a friend, so it's basically two combat patrols for less than the price of one

[@Acidsplash69]

The Librarian is the only thing that got me "psycked" for this set. Would love to paint a whole squad in that armour

[@chilihead4000]

Outstanding "Box Opening." Loved the commentary.

[@anoriginalzero3107]

On top of just seeing the same Helbrute in photos everywhere, there was a lot of artwork in GW books where you can clearly tell the artist just drew over a picture of *that* Helbrute it was hilarious, up there with Wally the World Eater's appearance in studio photos

[@hadrienvesseron5321]

Hahaha 😂 that comment about the rock is so spot on... You could make a hole in that wall by turning around too fast with a Leviathan box bumping in it.

[@Tyrnak_Fenrir]

Luckily I introduced a friend to 40k last year, and he landed on Nids, so I'm splitting the box with him. It'll be a challenge to integrate some of the marines into my Space Wolves successors, but it'll be a fun challenge. The ones I'm most unsure of are the Apthercary and Sternguard, might sell them since there's a risk I won't be able to run them. Or just start a second marines army.

[@Keck_YT]

The first 40k miniatures i ever bought were the Battle of Macragge box (space marines/tyrannids), so this launch box is giving me some nostalgia.

[@LakeVermilionDreams]

I'm researching what to buy to get into the hobby and now they are rereleasing the Battle of Macragge box. Seems like it's a nostalgia thing. Thought you should know, if you didn't already!

[@Keck_YT]

@@LakeVermilionDreams thats awesome! much appreciated, i hadnt heard.

[@Jimothyjohns]

I might have to buy this box. It’s so good looking.

[@verigone2677]

If you want the Feet to look better you can extend the Shin Guards or bulk up the feet themselves using Plasticard and Green Stuff.

[@LunarSniperWifle]

I like that the Black Templar HQs came with some combi options (just plasma for the multi part stuff i think and the flamer on the everything is skulls Castellan). The sternguard getting a combi melta is nice, excited to see the full kits for all the new units/refreshed units!! My hopes for what the full kits and options are so far are the termies keeping all their old stuff (maybe even the sergeant getting something new like THSS), sternguard keeping the similar amount of options the firstborn kit has (especially the heavy flamer), the flamer marines having a heavy flamer would be really nice imo, maybe some kind of new flame grenade? Im hoping the rules for combi weapons do keep their individual functions of flamers, plasmas, meltas all having the profile of both weapons, and that the combi weapon profile on that librarian datasheet is just for a specfici weapon and not all of them rolled into one. Im not a Nids collecter, but with this box Im realllly tempted to get it, and if I dont find someone to share this half with then i guess Ill just have to start a nids army lol

[@GrimmTheMadKing]

The build-a-bear LT from the Strikeforce Augustus Box didn't get combi weapons, he's got power sword, power fist, plasma pistol, heavy bolt pistol, and the bolf rifle (pick your flavor). But anyway, I look forward to this box as I'm still building on my marine army, as it's very all over the place as I've only gotten into them with 10th, always been more of an Ork player, and I've been eyeballing Tyrannids, so this looks like a good start lol

[@Themustangturtledude]

I remember I felt like one of the few that defeated the bots when 9th preorder came out and I was quick as hell at checkout to get mine. I promised a friend we would split and I made sure to be prepared.

[@PlasticAddict301]

I very carefully scalpeled away my Terminator sergeant's sword arm away and put on the awesome open-handed power fist from the assault intercessors kit. It looks awesome! I also drilled out the sword hand from the Captain and gave him a comically small-for-his-size Thunder Hammer, but since my successors are artisans I think it fits pretty well. I had a hoot with this box set, and being the first one I could buy with adult money it will hold a very warm place in my heart for years :)

[@dagdamar2000]

With the Librarian you could paint him as a show piece. Then put him in a completion and see what happens. That way you can say not for the list but also not gone to waste! The nids look so so good!!!!!!

[@ThornBismark]

I love your new Ork patreon terrain hub. I've been putting off joining up but now you've twisted my arm lol. Good job Jay and crew

[@sev2067]

i'm totally in for the new terminators - love the design

[@steve-xt1zg]

Great coverage on the box Jay. Big thanks on referencing "the mist" never seen it. Did some resesrch read about "lovecraftian horrors" so had to see it. Cant believe it was 2007 and I missed it. 2nd big shout about no spoilers thanks dude was a blast to watch! Keep up the great content.

[@ruslanhoncharenko2179]

He did get prize wrong, it's 150£

[@ben.harnwell]

I’m really keen for this box. I felt a lot of regret nit getting the indomidus box so I guess I’m getting this.

[@Monster-gr8on]

I loved the tyranid trailer for the box

[@rondyreeves4772]

I’m liking the models a lot and I’m starting to think about how they could fit with my Black Templar army. But I did just put Roboute together yesterday and I am planning on an Ultramarines army so perhaps I’ll use this box for that army. My friend and I are either going to pay half each (he’s a Tyranid player) or we’re going to each buy our own box and trade Astartes for Tyranids. That’ll either cut the cost on the box if it really is close to $250, or I’ll get doubles of all of these cool new SM models. I’ve Templars, Black Legion, Necrons, and Grey Knight armies at the moment, and while I like Tyranids I don’t really want to start yet another army as Ultra and Adeptus are going to be my next two armies.

[@gameprose4293]

I got into 40k in 5th Edition with Assault on Black Reach. Been into the setting a lot longer, all the way since the first Dawn of War game. It's been a wild ride.

[@mikaelpeterson6567]

I know, right? I quit the game in 4th and started during Rogue Trader and I'm just now starting to get back into the lore!

[@wasterdnb]

​@mikaelpeterson6567 got into 40k with rouge trader too

[@dukedevlan5457]

The neurotyrant is such a cool model even his little dudes are amazing to

[@MrmaneHax]

The new redemptor is walkin like he's one happy boi.

[@odharrison23]

I’m excited for the new terminators too!! $245 is a lot of money. I knew it would not be $199 also. When games workshop says affordable I think they are referencing the British pricing. Haha!! Thanks gents!! Fantastic as always!!!

[@ruslanhoncharenko2179]

Jay is wrong, we don't have USA price. We only know UK price which 150£, should translate into $200

[@Zee-jp9vn]

Your videos are so great thank you so much :)

[@PacMan41000]

The price makes perfect sense when you think about how you get 10 more mini's when compared, and there have been 2 price increases that I'm aware of since the indomitus box was released

[@Believer1980]

I can see the winged Prime coming as a build option in a new Shrikes box set, just as a normal Prime is an option in a box of Warriors.

[@CesarIsaacPerez]

I've never cared to play Tyranids, besides some Genestealers I have nothing for them. But this is a pretty cool amount of Tyranids to get into the them. So unless this box sells out instantly I'll buy it online if I find it at a discount on release day.

[@brokenthought1102]

the initial burst from the cannon could cause a bit of recoil, with the cooling and exhaust needed and then purged, I could see the hunker being quite useful especially if adjusting line of site on the fly... you could spin the story... among other ideas

[@Willabrador]

Excellent video thanks dude!

[@MrBujaczek]

I like this box more than indomitus. I will definitely want that. Great tyranid minis that I would love to collect and paint. Plus a lot of miniatures I would like to have in my dark angels. Maybe I don't want all of them (e.g. Infernus Squad) but I'm glad there are no stupid primaris with T-shirt launchers and those boring intercessors

[@vitev009]

I think with the Dreadnought, if you flip the legs around so the knees bend backwards, it would be like a Battletech Mech and look a lot better

[@jaysonhuckaby6323]

It’s interesting I would totally start an Eldar army if they included them for once in a start box & updated their range…..

[@nicholascampos3301]

I recently started getting into 40k and I always wanted to know what the pieces looked like! Do all purchasable kits come with these many characters? Or is it like a deal that they’re making? Also any tips on what first army to build ?

[@maishufoxx]

Hopefully I'll be able to buy 2 boxes, definitely worth the money

[@ThisOffendsMeTV]

lol…GW trained you into thinking $250 is a good deal cause it ain’t $350. Everything they drop is overpriced considering if you had a 3D printer, you can pump out the same thing for like 5% of the price

[@ruslanhoncharenko2179]

Jay got prize wronf, It's 200$ since the UK price is 150£

[@D3sToD3s]

The inferno guys are fun because you can drop-pod them in and flame your opponent while rolling for wound with those pyreblasters

[@RyanBreaker]

Speaking of Dominion, my local store had so many after the fiasco they didn't know what to do with them, they're practically giving them out during events.

[@awldune]

The minis look amazing

[@Lord_Vesh]

The psychophage reminds me of the venomcrawler. They both like eating psychers and both are spider-esq. I’d love to see them fight for dominance

[@Tryel]

I feel like a different (left) shoulderpad on the infernus marines would break up the silhouette nicely. some large heatshield facing in the direction of the enemy or something.

Super excited for this one, the value is insane! For anyone in the states who happens to be coming over to the UK around the time of the release - buy it here! Generally other stores sell their GW stock at a 20-25% discount. This box will be £150 from GW (~$189), and about £115 through other retailers (~$145)

[@nathanielwaggoner3005]

As someone who will only buy one box this year, wants to get into tenth, doesn't own any of the SM models or equivalents (no termies, vanguard etc...) And wants to get into Tyranids I'm super hype for this box. The price seems legit given I'll be buying it from my FLGS at a discount and in the face of the insane price increases lately.

Here's hoping! I have a feeling they won't since I haven't seen any Terminators with Thunderhammers yet. Might be later down the road in the individual sets.

[@84jesterx]

Onto the Starcraft comparisons, I actually really like the design of Heavy Intercessors...probably because they remind me so much of Terrans from Starcraft. Sure, the Leagues of Votann, but I just did the design. That and their heavy bolters. Liked them better than Agressors (I don't have any Terminators yet).

[@timunderbakke8756]

Already talked to my LGS about a copy. Splitting the box with another player in my group who is diehard Nids. Though to be honest I’d have just bought the box anyway because those bugs look so good.

[@malcire]

I keep hearing about Star Craft being intended as a licensed 40k game. But pretty sure Blizzard have said that wasn't the case (that they were seeking a license) WarCraft was intended to be WH Fantasy. Also Starcraft has more in common with Starship Troopers (with the Protoss being similar to the Skinnies). To be fair, WH40k lifts a lot from Starship Troopers as well.

Garuntee these boxes will all be sold out and scalpers will be selling the parts individually or at higher price! If prices we know are Acurate then it’s gonna be a “good” deal if u want the bits, but even buying and selling individual squads and the rule book separately will still be quite profitable so it’ll happen garunteed, especially with GWs track record from the last few years of under supplying 🙄😔

Oh well. And I’m not a fan of the Terminator armor in the past but this one is kinda cool. I’m pretty much done buying my SM. I just need to build and paint the rest of them. But I still need a good deal of Orks to have a full army and because I didn’t realize how expensive this hobby was when I first started (where I got most of my stuff everything I got was on some crazy sale but it wasn’t posted as it was on sale) I have 3 armys I’m trying to build.
