Fantastic review and a great idea to bring it into the Old World.

I cant get beasts of chaos modells at the GW-Shop at this Moment.... Not for AoS....

Hey there I am from Germany and just started playing this game and I am looking for advice in how to play the tyranids is there someone here in the comments or maybe 90percentgeek him self who would help me get into this nice game ?

That’s a very fun concept. Thanks for the report

Nobody wants to live in the 40k universe.

I take Savages and give them Deathskullz Clan rule which turns whole squads Heavy Gunz to Lance 2 for 30 pts

Love these vids getting back into BFG after well about 15 years, using the Ork Clans Deathskullz

There's a guy named Boxman who does scale modeling and often entombs insects in model battleships (okay, I know, it sounds weird but it plays better in context) and now I feel like you ought to go down a similar road with this project.

This reminds me of an old White Dwarf where someone wrote in asking if there will ever be Death Guard models for BFG and they replied with some images of just covering parts of Chaos Cruisers with green stuff and using the other end of a brush to poke holes them glueing some skaven tails on. and you know what they werent wrong.

Hehe escarg-drones....wait why is he getting out snail shells 😱

Always wanted to build a fleet of nids since seeing them in the old white dwarfs. ( vaguely remember an article talking about building an ork Rok ship.) How are the different ships defined? I.e. by size? By weaponry?

Cool stuff

Looking forward to seeing them all painted :)

Great video 👍. For my kraken ships i used the tentaclids from the harpy/hive crone kit. Have you any ideas on tyranid ordinance?

A devourer with a spinefist attached to the back as an engine and a few claws or spikes makes a fantastic escort.

Black belt in sprue jitsu 😂

Fantastic video. It would be awesome if You could paste sample 1000pts lists as well

No offense mate, but especially the hill looks horrible

Are the follow ups to nightbringer good as well? Should one get the omnibus straight away? 🤔

I really appreciated that final call out at the end… Warhammer is amazing, but it is crucial to know your limits. It is very addictive, so I have to work hard to keep my head on straight and balance the best of hobby good intentions/cool ideas with sober reality.

I identify as this channel...

I don't really think these three are comparable honestly.

It depends. Video done lol

Tow is unfortunately all about monsters, chariots and cavalry. I can't get behind it, it's still 6ed for our group.

Neat format, I broadly agree with all of this. I'll just go over a few points that came to mind. Glad you brought up the vibroblade, so many people overlook them. I'd say the lightsabre is considerably better than a power sword, and a vibrosword is moderately superior to an equivalent chainsword... but in the end, you're absolutely right to give the advantage to 40k in terms of melee weapons. They just aren't as prevalent in SW or Trek. My favourite bit of rhetoric is "Trek ships are established to be immune to lasers, so they must be invulnerable to 40k lascannons and SW turbolasers". Trek weaponry can be very useful, especially in a handheld format. In terms of capital ships and their cannons... that new particle you invented to shoot out the navigational deflector? That's an experimental spinal mount weapon, which the other settings would have mounted in turrets, or a broadside battery. Personally I prefer to restrain the speed of SW hyperdrives, down to something as depicted in the old West End RPG sourcebooks. A normal journey might take days or weeks, and if you go off the beaten path into the more obscure hyperlanes, it could be months before you arrive. Unfortunately, by the time of Episode 3 this travel time is almost ignored, and the reboot trilogy explicitly shows it to be instant teleportation. Though I will point out that for tactical FTL jumps, Star Trek is parsecs ahead of the others: it's almost unheard of to make a hyperdrive jump within the same star system, and Warp travel is far safer than The Warp. As for psionics, I'd say you've been far more generous to Star Wars than it deserves. The graph shows it as equal to 40k, but I'd put SW far behind the other two universes. Trek is really hard to quantify, because you can just say "a godlike energy being turns up, physics and logic no longer apply until further notice". But even excluding those, their baseline level of psychics are more ubiquitous than in SW.

So putting some arguments forward for Team Star Trek (and honestly, you were doing a video about Star Trek trivia and didn't consult me? For shame!): Federation ships are smaller, it's true. However, they overall have a higher tech level,and most importantly are crewed by trained professionals, not serfs or conscript troopers. Firearms-wise, I think you've overlooked the utility of phasers. Even the ship-mounted ones have a stun setting, which is amazing, and they they have a wide-beam setting, too. Speed-wise, I think Federation ships are faster at sublight speeds and definitely have better manoeuvrability than 40k or Wars ships. Doomsday devices. Well, sorry, this is under-researched :D. The Federation can (and have) blow up stars (cf. TNG: "Half a Life"), sterilise planets with Thalaron radiation (cf. Star Trek Nemesis), destroy a planet's crust with ordinary starship weaponry (cf. DS9 "The Die is Cast") or create a singularity with red matter to destroy a planet (mostly seen in an alternate timeline, but originated with Spock in the prime timeline). The Federation has *frightening* firepower, they just don't use it.

40K because it's the only IP you can die while waiting in a queue, has Cigar smoking Green-skinned petrol heads that talk with cockney accents, and a Commissar who wants to engage in melee while riding a tank the size of a barn; It's also British. Let me correct you on a few points. 1) Star Trek has the Vulcan Lirpa and the Ahn-woon, and Federation soldiers carry combat knives. 2) The Tox Uthat shuts down fusion in a star, and depending upon mass, it either goes Nova or Supernova. 3) The UFP isn't close to 1/4 of the galaxy, it's 150 planets. 40K has a million. 4) Materialising in a wall in 40K is rare and usually requires damage to the ship. It has tech to prevent that. 5) 40K takes months to years to cross the galaxy depending upon warp currents, and days to weeks to cross from a translation point to an inner solar system. 6) Droids might be more prevalent but Men or Iron are more advanced.

Star Trek is the only Sci-Fi universe. 40K & Star Wars are space fantasy.

Hey, Great Video. The "Guessing" of the Nova Cannon was abolished in Armada rulebook in favor of a "scatter" using the 40k scatter dice (arrows point at the scatter direction). You just place the template wherever you want, and throw the scatter die. the nova template scatters 1d6cm if the template is between 30 and 45cm, 2d6 if the template is between 45 and 60cm, and 3d6 if the template is beyond 60cm.

I had a chaos fleet in my childhood found in a yard sale, never got to play and didnt even know what it was. Cant remember what happened to it. Got into 5th edition warhammer and was like ooooo. Now im slowly making my friends play and learn bfg with me. Though im stuck on which rule set i wang to use, remastered or XR.

Orc heavy gunz escorts can exchange the gunz for lances in the clanz list.

What a great video! My sci fi nerd heart beats faster ❤❤😂😂 Maybe you should add Dune? (In a second video perhaps 😜) Its world could fit into a lot of the mentioned categories! Funnily enough all those franchises are somehow "influenced" by Isaac Asimovs Foundation books, its quite apparent when you can compare them to each other like this.

Sold my huge Imperial and Chaos fleets two years ago. Looking forward to a new version with a possible different scale, that Andy hinted at earlier. :)

For ships, and coolness, it would have to be the Star Wars universe. I’d definitely be having a YT-2400 as my ship, plus a Murrrgh style companion and an R2 unit. For ease of life, it has to be TNG/Voyager/DS9 era trek. Replicators and Holodecks. Yep.

Nice shout out for the sun crusher👍

It’s so odd. While I’m a fan of all three IP’s, somehow the 40k universe is the most interesting. I’ve read many, many Black Library books. Subscribed to White Dwarf for the lore as much as for the hobby articles. But I’ve never read a single novel set in either the Star Wars or Star Trek universe.

Where’s the high tech whiteboard?

I mean - Star Trek is the human ideal, isn't it? But it also lacks lightsabers and Star Destroyers, both of which are absolutely awesome. And most infuriatingly, they both lack the guiding and humbling light of The God-Emperor of Mankind praise be to Him On Earth and let His Light illuminate the galaxy in cleansing fire! *Play Adepta Sororitas by StringStorm here*

40k > Star Wars Legends > Canon Star Wars > Star Trek

If i had to live in one of the three settings, Star Trek hands down, at least folk get to die of old age in that setting!

E - None of the above its Babylon 5. True Story

Which one I consider the best really depends on what I'm in the mood for at that moment. The universe of Warhammer definitely looks the coolest and has a TON of diversity among the factions within it. The epic scale of everything and the ridiculous galaxy-spanning conflicts are just insane. When I'm in the mood for thought-provoking stories about morality, exploration and just cool sci-fi, I go to Star Trek. Trek has such incredible writing and characters. I get misty eyed because of how great some of those episodes are. (i.e. TNG: Inner Light, The Offspring, etc.) The only Star Wars I really love is the original trilogy. It's simply excellent space fantasy fun and adventure. If I was FORCED to pick the best universe, I would probably lean toward 40k. The visuals and expansive lore is just too awesome. Star Trek is a very close 2nd though...

Okay, out of all of these the one I least would want to live in would be 40k. Even if I lived on an agri world or something, I would be living either in a totalitarian theocracy, or getting destroyed by the enemy faction of the week. Star Wars would be way better, but again, it's called Star WARS. The longest period of time we know of without a major conflict in universe is 100 years between the Nihil crisis in High Republic and the Naboo crisis in Ep. 1. As much as I have never seen Star Trek, I'd argue that'd be the best one to live in. Also, I made this before watching the vid xP

Stargate :P

Just found my copy of 2e Ultramarines codex and I forgot how fun the lore was.

The all-Ram Ship fleet is cool until you run into an all-escort Eldar fleet.

Good overview, but I'd be more willing to watch if you weren't so shouty.

Yay! Battlefleet Gothic. Shared it on the BFG discord

Loved this video! I adore BFG, and can’t wait to see more from you. Orks are hilarious fun!

ERE WE GO ERE WE GO
