Why I'm IN LOVE With Star Wars Shatterpoint!

[@severngamingnetwork]

5:15 "Durt and sturn...." love it :) amazing production, great job my dude!

[@JudgeGudge]

I think I'll have to get some of these Star Wars minis, the just that bit bigger size looks perfect for painting.

[@ThePickleJar]

Honestly mate, not enjoyed painting a set of miniatures this much in ages.

[@Ragsta]

Looking very nice, mate.

[@ThePickleJar]

Cheers, I'm super happy with them!

[@lesbrawthers]

We are all in love with it !

[@David-Daithi]

Those B1 droids are on point. Very nice job!

[@NewSquallor]

Sat out on Legion because of the stupid amount of white minis I'd end up having to paint eventually or tan or something boring. This, THIS, is what I was waiting for. A few minis and done and playing. Fingers crossed for Republic Commandos (of the game fame).

[@ThePickleJar]

That was SUCH an under appreciated game! Would love to see some miniatures for them!

[@btst4441]

Lovely work! Agree that the scale of these minis is just right for those details. Looking forward to Vader and Palpatine release🙂

[@benjaminjack867]

These look awesome!

[@foreverfornever1124]

Im really glad this came out!! I was in a tough place being a huge SW fan, thinking of getting into Legion. I just didnt want to pick up another wargame on top of 40k and AoS. So this game is the perfect solution for me! Not only being a skirmish game but to have such detailed and larger models, these will be fantastic display models. I hope they go all out with the range, grabbing characters and troops from all across SW legends. With the far lower price demand Im getting all of these! I may still end up getting into Legion but now I can make a better decision on what I would like to collect which now may just be a Phase II Clone Coruscant guard army

[@corbingovers7559]

This is exactly where I'm at. I love 40k and AoS as big army games, but not in love with warcry or KT and love star wars. I'd never get to do Legion (I don't need another army game), but picked this game up as a nice hobby project. I already know I'm picking up loads of the future kits like the inquisitors or Mando and Child or the crew of the ghost.

[@foreverfornever1124]

@Corbin Govers yes! I'm really glad AMG decided to put several other factions up for pre-order, too. So now people won't be locked into just the starter box, which seems to be selling out like hot cakes. I'm really hoping for a KotoR expansion! If I get Revan and Malak, my life will be complete, haha

[@Frandog99]

The production quality of this is quite frankly awesome plus it is about Star Wars which makes it even more awesome! Great work matey. 🙂👍

[@artsoulnorth]

These models look brilliant. Watching you paint through this box has my household hyped 🙌

[@ThePickleJar]

Woooo hype!

[@plazma5343]

Looks great congrats !

[@ThePickleJar]

Thank you :)

[@Oviton]

Love the intro, and found the video interesting as well.

[@galatician8063]

Nice intro! I don't care if you move the camera or not if you get to enjoy painting. Heard there will be a Luke, Leah & Han set with Leah dressed as bounty hunter. Hopefully she has alt head without helmet. That would be an awesome set!!!

[@facesnbases9853]

Love this video Josh. It's a game that has so much draw from tapping into successful rulesets and one of the best franchises ever. Super tempted and this vid may have convinced me.

[@8BitJesus]

Also, these are fantastic!

[@ThePickleJar]

Thanks very much :)

[@SciFiPorkChop28]

Really nice video! Great intro! Had me laughing... The ONLY thing I could say is that your wrap up and final models on the painting desk doesn't have enough lighting!!! Your Maul looks way darker than on the close up when you were painting him and for anyone that jumps to the end, they might miss out on the great work you put into his face and head!

[@shanefrancis34]

Loved this video, would love to see more. I’m defo getting into this when it releases in June.

[@euansmith3699]

Is the intro crawl music by the Joshmeister? It rawked!

[@brence1984]

I’m kinda tempted to start painting again. But realize I don’t like painting all over again… but its Star Wars and the models are bigger so its easier to paint… But… lol dilemma 🤣

[@nyallleary1643]

looks cool but it suck that maul comes with droids and not death watch considering its him from clone wars, maybe they will add that later as an option, i have no idea how the game works but it does look cool and the idea of a smaller scale starwars game is appealing

[@ThePickleJar]

He does come with the Death Watch, I just wanted to paint the droids haha. The droids go with Ventris.

[@kristoff7049]

Totally the same reason I slapped my money down for it! Larger scale for easier painting. Smaller teams for quicker prep time and short snappy games!

[@8BitJesus]

hey dude, did you say you were doing a terrain tutorial, or not...? I can't remember

[@ThePickleJar]

I am indeed, hoping to get it finished today. I was going to get it out earlier but it's been so hot I've done zero editing

[@elstonation]

I gave up by the 3rd paragraph 🤣. Loved it buddy

[@ThePickleJar]

hahahahaha thanks man :)

[@SavageSairung]

Would you guess they are about 38-40mm? I am so into this scale. Large enough to be awesome and still table friendly.

[@ThePickleJar]

Yeah it's 40mm. Such a joy to paint. I've got other things I should be working on but I've found myself just carrying on with Shatterpoint haha

[@1RobW]

nice paint jobs. Do you have a list of paints used for each figure for these and future ones?

[@cabe_bedlam]

Loving the tactical droid, especially the hologram.

[@ThePickleJar]

Thanks bud, I think that might be my favourite of the ones I've painted so far :)

[@facesnbases9853]

Beautiful paintjobs on these and they look such a joy to paint. I think this could be a new game to try out. Thanks for the vid Josh. The intro rocked more than an Ironman opening scene.

[@JewelKnightJess]

I never got into Star Wars much but these look fab

[@ThePickleJar]

Thank you!

[@TheHobbyCorner]

They look great! Well done mate. I'd love to see a video on how you found the gameplay too. 🤘😎🔥

[@ThePickleJar]

I don't generally do gaming stuff but from what I've read of the rulebook it looks like it'll be fun so I think it could be on the cards :)

[@BlastercadedPainting]

I'm totally pumped for this game. Really nice paint jobs!

[@ThePickleJar]

Thanks very much!

[@tabletop-mini-showcase]

Fluorescent Posca paint pens would work well for the lightsabers, they are bright as funk. I dump the paint out of the pens into dropper bottles so they can be painted on. The paint jobs look awesome, really nice work dude! The bigger scale seems like a nice addition as I hate having to use magnification to paint.

[@ThePickleJar]

I've got some fluro paint from scale 75 which could have worked too I guess but the tip on those pens is great, thanks for the heads up. Yeah they hit that sweet spot scale wise of being just that little bit bigger but not too big.

[@tabletop-mini-showcase]

@@ThePickleJar if you get the Posca pens the end screws off clockwise rather than anti-clockwise :) I use them for tons of colours as they dry really matt and are really bright. yeah they look like they've found a nice balance with the scale, very cool.

[@Hawk-xo4uo]

Another excellent video dude!

[@daniellogue8365]

Looks great! I'd definitely be really excited for this game but still have so much Legion to finish.

[@ThePickleJar]

Don't say things like that! I have sooo much legion stuff it's not even funny hahaha

[@daniellogue8365]

Ok you convinced me, I got it and couldn't be happier 🤗

[@Nosferatuklown]

Man I'm so excited to pick up this game! Thanks for showing off the models in better detail than the damn cell phone pics from adepticon

[@ThePickleJar]

hahahaha, you're welcome :)

[@SootyWebster]

You gotta paint Ahsoka.

[@ThePickleJar]

She is built and on the painting desk :)

[@mikewicked.x]

Great vid - really tempted by Shatterpoint, bur waiting on a little more info before i commit. Love the idea of a skirmish scale Star Wars game, but i dont understand why they would split their customer base by having this at a different scale to Legion. Makes it much harder to convert players from one game to the other.

[@mikewicked.x]

Also, rarely comment but need to poke the algorithm thingy to signal boost for the wargames hobby KZbin.

[@Mrog200]

I think they changed scale to stop you using legion figures. With a licenced game there is only so many kits they can make that they think will sell enough volume to make it worth it for them. In Legion how many other models could they release and expect a good number of people to buy them? But if they do this new game at a new scale, now you are buying Darth maul again, or droids again, or clones again etc.

[@r1ck5m1th]

Wow! This might be the thing that finally gets me in to a star wars wargame 😱❤️

[@mih2]

Crackin vid!

[@MetallicaFan1442]

I'd never heard of this minatures game but I like the bigger scale over Star Wars Legion, detail looks nice.

[@ThePickleJar]

Honestly this is my favourite scale.

[@9daywonda]

Good.

[@GoldenRogueMinis]

Great video dude, I would love to see some KOTOR models. Did you play the star wars music?

[@ThePickleJar]

hahahaha no that wasn't me unfortunately, though it was my original plan. Just didn't have time to do it justice.

[@cinnabarsin4288]

Looks great, game looks really good too but I think I'm too in hobby debt to Legion and MCP to get into this too until there's a sale. The one thing about painting these though, and I've experienced this in MCP too, is the hero stuff I feel far less free to paint in some non-official style. Legion for whatever reason feels more freeing , for me at least, to come up with a wild theme for your troops, have unique variations for each squad, and even have the hero units partially or entirely in that scheme too. I'm sure it's probably the scale and that the hero units are part of the game instead of the entire focus.

[@Annies_mini_marvels]

I've been eyeing this game for a while 😅 not sure I can afford another game tho

[@ThePickleJar]

*whispers in Sidious* Do it!

[@spaceiguana5066]

C'mon algorithm, don't do this video dirty. We need more non-battlemallet content for miniature content!

[@ThePickleJar]

☺☺☺☺

[@Chozo_hybrid]

It's a shame AMG don't seem to care much about the other Star Wars games they are in charge of now. They really screwed X-Wings rules and points up, X-Wing & Armada haven't had actual new ships in ages, and I don't like the odds of them supporting Legion much longer. They just wanted to make a Star Wars Crisis Protocol kind of game because that seems to be the only sort of game they want to make... And the $330 NZD price point for the starter means I probably won't be trying it anytime soon unless someone I know picks it up.

[@JMACCSArmiesOfMiddleEarth]

Ok Im sold

[@BigMekDanskull]

I'm not a fan of Star Wars, but nice job dude

[@vladimirpalik6697]

that intro 😍

[@jonbauml225]

Hey hey

[@03dashk64]

It’s interesting to see different perspectives on this! I think Shatterpoint looks like a lot of fun, but I’m skipping it due to the scale. I like to use minis for multiple things, and the large scale means the Shatterpoint minis won’t mix with anything else I own

[@RecklessFables]

This is exactly my view on this as well. I have hundreds of 28mm Heroic scale minis across genres and manufacturers. If I play something like Stargrave or an RPG I want consistently-sized options.

[@prof.maniak5925]

I also just bought a whole lot of Legion minis xp

[@tando6266]

Im loving the look of the models but the gameplay, meh. 4-6 tables to resolve any attack is just a lot, and im an infinity player, so its not a problem with complexity.

[@Draculord666]

I haven't looked at the rules at all but the sculpts look so good. Definitely gonna pick up the Plo Koon box when it's out!

[@JEANPIXBN]

THIS ISNTHE KIND OF CONTENT WE NEED!!! Great job my dude! 🎉❤🤘🏻🔥

Don’t mean to throw shade Luke’s way, but he is missing Josh in the studio. The production of Josh’s videos are great while Luke’s have fell off.

@@JimmiWazEre Well, makes sense based on Luke’s last video…
