This is an extra sprue in a set with additional options, whether it’s weapon options that weren’t in the original kit or for space marines you can take the standard unit and use these upgrade sprues to change the shoulder pads, heads and weapons for your chosen chapter’s iconography.

Oh damn, that's really cool! Thanks for helping the new guys. I've ordered my first marines and am nervous about building and painting but excited too

Awesome! I hope you have a great time putting them together and painting them up. Have you decided on a scheme/chapter for them?

No such thing as a stupid question :) While allying used to be more of a thing back in earlier editions of Warhammer 40k, unfortunately it's very much reduced these days. That being said, the closest you'll have for humans would be the new Imperial Agents codex that will be out very soon. This includes a variety of ways to build that include deathwatch marines, grey knigths, sisters, inquistors, and imperial forces. While typically these were used more for allying into other imperium armies in the past, you can build a force from this if you'd like to. I think it comes out next weekend (24th) so worth taking a look through that at a local GW store as they'll have an open copy no doubt.

To be fair I think a fair number of 40K players jumped across for the same reason when 4th launched. I certainly did, plus the models looked incredible! Those are 3 great factions and I guess it depends on which you think look the coolest. Worst case and you still can’t decide, try a painting up a spearhead box as if you can’t see painting up an army of it, you’ll still have a great game format to be able to play!

@@TheCommandPhase I appreciate the tips. You got a subscriber out of me

You’re welcome - glad you found it useful. I mean you already have the coolest faction in 40K but hope you have a great time collecting whichever you pick next!

@@TheCommandPhase thought i’d let you know i’ve finally chosen chaos daemons undivided, rewatched the video and then read their index rules and realised they’re basically just orks but a bit more diverse in play style. thanks for the video

Awesome - hope you enjoy the mountain of plastic! It’s an amazing box and the sculpts are fantastic 👍

Once I’m back home from my holiday I’ll look into creating these going forward 👍 Any particular faction you’re most interested in?

@@TheCommandPhase slave to darkness, slaneesh, cities, and gloom ❤️

Some fun choices there, got the cities myself and very tempted by the gloomspite gitz as I can’t say no to squigs! I’ll be sure to try and get those done early on 👍

@@TheCommandPhase amazing! 🔥

I feel for you trying to collect Warhammer down under. There are ways to make it cheaper with online local game stores, possible international shipping and the second hand market at least. Do you have one faction that really speak to you? Where you really like the models the most?

@@TheCommandPhase hey mate just wanna say thank you, your videos have been such a huge help and I really enjoy the quality so keep up the great work. The tau honestly are my favourite so far I just love the look of the mechs and I’ve started reading some lore and the farsight enclave seem super badass so I think that’s where I’m headed. I’m gonna order a smaller kit first and dabble with the painting before I fully commit myself.

@ethankeon8152 I’m very glad to hear you’ve been enjoying the videos. Farsight is an amazing character, has a good novel and a badass model so hope you have a great time collecting them 👍

100% it’s incredible value for money and if you aren’t after all of the parts from it - there are plenty of bits separated on the secondary market at really good prices too. (Like the fire and jade book and accessories if you wanted just that).

That’s a great set of factions you have at your disposal - Which is your favourite currently in 10th edition?

There are a lot of incredible armies and awesome minis to choose from - best of luck finding the one that sticks out the most!

Awesome stuff! Glad to hear you had some great games of Spearhead, love the format. Which armies did you play?

Oh I know that feeling - I bought 4 spearheads while making this video…. Hope you have a great time building and collecting your Lumineth! You’ll have to send me some images on Twitter/insta/discord when you’re done as I’d love to see them.

@TheCommandPhase awesome - I tagged you over on twitter.

@trevorharvey6928 thanks I’ll check it out now 👍

I’m sure they could be a lot more expensive depending on the lists. Once the new meta has settled I may well do a follow up to this. Guard may well be higher then 👍

I’m really glad you found this video helpful! Hope you had a fantastic set of games - which spearhead did you choose to play?

There is a lot of amazing lore in the 40K universe so you’ll have plenty to get your teeth stuck into! Those are 3 really cool armies, although even with the trim I’m a sucker for Thousand Sons. Magnus is just too cool! (He definitely didn’t do anything wrong)

Awesome stuff - what are you planning on picking up next once they are done?

@@TheCommandPhase Not entirely sure. I was thinking that since I am trying to paint my Immortals in the same style as those in Twice Dead King, I might get a Tachyon Arrow Overlord and try to make an Oltyx Overlord.

I’d probably put strategy a lot higher than luck in 40K. Yes dice rolls and card draws for secondaries could well go for and against you in the game. But proper army construction plays a big role and the vast majority of games will be won and lost in army deployment, movement and decision making. At least in my experience playing 40K. If I had to give a % - probably at least 75-25% in terms of strategy/skill over luck

Hope you have a fantastic time - they look to be a really great Spearhead force too!

@@TheCommandPhase hope so. I went with them purely off aesthetics lol

I’m glad the video was able to help you out! Both are really great armies there and great for helping you get into the hobby and learn all of the different aspects - hope you have a great time with whichever you end up picking!

So the first question would be which of these armies do you think look the coolest/have the best looking models you’d like to build, paint and play with? This honestly would be the main factor in choosing. In terms of the armies you have there, you could use a Dark Angels colour scheme to play as any of the space marine detachments if you wanted to as they aren’t locked behind a colour scheme. Deathwatch might be worth a little bit of a wait only as they might be getting rolled into the new Imperial Agents codex that’s coming out in the next few weeks, so would change up how you would collect that army. As for Chaos Space Marines, like Space Marines have a lot of cool options to choose from, some very thematic detachments and cool models. Tend to be more melee focussed than traditional Space Marines if you think you’d prefer that element of the game. I’d look to grab a box of models from one of the factions (potentially a kill team so you have another game to be able to play while you grow your force) and see if you can see yourself making a full army of those. If so then you’ve found the right army for you, else move onto the next one until you have. But rule of cool will always trump everything else in this game. Hopefully that was of some help and best of luck in choosing!

@@TheCommandPhase thank you for the help i cant wait to start my 40k journeh

Sounds awesome - hope you’re having a great time playing all the different factions! 👍

I’m glad the video could be of help - it really is a great format and way to get into the game. But really fun in its own right too. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out and I’ll do what I can to help.

You’re more than welcome, glad it’s helpful! How did your games go?

@@TheCommandPhase I'll start off by saying I am very much looking forward to getting some more games in soon!...as, admittedly, yesterday, we were going in totally blind, figuring it all out as we went, rummaging through books, cards and the app constantly...so the first game took *ages*, and we only got halfway through the second game before we called it, as it was getting too late...although we were starting to get the hang of it, and things were going a lot more smoothly by that point. (Again, I really wish I'd watched this video earlier!😅) ...but, regardless of all our bumbling user-error, it still felt like a great, tight, fun game...nicely small, short, and simple, but still with a satisfying amount of strategy, depth, and variation...the enhancements and regiment abilities let you mix things up a little bit, despite the set units...and the twist and battle tactic cards seem like they can really add a lot to the game. I played Sons of Behemat vs Slaves to Darkness first...I played too defensively in the first half (didn't know objectives were sticky), and then just rolled terribly in the second half...also chaos knights seem like a pretty mean unit! ...then 2 rounds of Maggotkin of Nurgle vs the new Skaven...shame this one got cut short, it felt like there was a lot of interesting stuff still yet to happen!...the skaven seemed to have a lot of fun, thematic gimmicks, and I was enjoying how maggotkin seemed to be going too, I was very happy with my blightkings specifically!

Sounds like you had a great time - I’m sure the next games you have will be even better! Thank you for sharing.

Honestly this is a format you could just play by itself without ever needing to build a 2000 point army if you didn’t want to. Lots of fun and nuance to it as well, all while learning the core rules of the game. And the perfect excuse to try out a variety of factions to find one you click with. Plus if they support it enough it’ll be a lot of fun for ages to come. If you do try it out, I really do hope you enjoy it 👍

The latter half of your "Step 2" is likely fairly correct...the rest is highly biased nonsense though...imo. I actually tried out a couple of games yesterday using different factions...and it was actually a great time! ...and I haven't touched any AoS since 2018 I think, and I had absolutely zero interest in combat patrol for 40k...so I really wasn't expecting to like it.

Nah spearhead is fun. Cope and seethe.

Thank you so much! Really glad to hear you’ve been enjoying the content 🙂 Are you an Age of Sigmar player or looking to jump in with Spearhead?

​@@TheCommandPhase Sorry, didn't notice your comment. I'm mainly a KT player, but I'm currently building my first 40k army ;) As for AoS, I turned it on out of curiosity

That’s awesome - which 40K army did you pick to be your first?

@@TheCommandPhase The Black Templars, but I must admit that the choice was very difficult as I wanted to play mainly GSC, but unfortunately they changed Combat Patrol to a much worse one

Awesome stuff! I had to pick that box up too when making the factions video as it looked a lot of fun. Looking forward to playing it. You’ll have to let me know how you get on, good luck 👍

So I didn’t due to talking about the specific forces that have codexes rather than all of the different subfactions. As of 10th the likes of Word Bearers, Alpha legion and such is just an aesthetic choice rather than a specific sub faction you needed to paint your models for. This means you could have an Alpha legion army that uses any of the detachment rules rather than just the one which is a big positive. If you’re interested in a breakdown of each of the different legions of the chaos space marines, it’s something I could make a video on in the future.

Thank you for your kind words - hope you have a great time playing!

That sounds like an awesome collection right there!

That’s awesome that you are looking to get into Warhammer - Welcome to the hobby! I’m very glad you enjoyed the content, your kind words mean a lot to me. Is there a specific faction you’re thinking of getting started with to jump into the hobby?

You’re more than welcome - glad I could be of some help 👍

Thank you very much - once back from holiday I’ll stock slacking in painting mine up for that game we’ve talked about for months 😂

Awesome stuff - got an army in mind of which you're going to pick?
