Dunno why I'm watching this, I'm already in too deep. My tip for saving money: DO NOT BUY CITADEL BRUSHES. You can grab a few cheap brushes and grab a "Windor and Newton series 7 size 0" for about $13 from amazon for the super detailed work, get some brush soap too. My W&N brush has lasted me nearly 3 years, and is still in near perfect condition. Citadel brushes start to turn to shit after like... 3 uses.
@@ThatGuy-eu2vt You can just re-sell them. Or thrown them in the fire place as a sacrifice to to the dark gods. Or kit bash them with other chaos units and make traitor primaris.
I paid $5 for my brushes at Walmart. Take care of them, they'll last a year . Paints, walmart. Primary colors and white and black. There are online mixing tables for citadel colors. Not exact ......but good. Diiiiiiiig for deals on minis. A lot of people have abandoned games workshop bc of nazi prices. So they have mini games where you can use any mini and write out stats or character cards. I use beer bottle caps as bases, use the bottle as a holder lol
I’d add something else: if buying used models, there’s a safe way to remove the paint with water based nail polish remover (NOT alcohol based; that will melt the plastic). After that, you’re free to repaint the models. Ezpz, cheap models for your armies. Edit: Some comments have pointed out that the problem isn't alcohol but acetone in the solution. ACETONE will melt te plastic, careful!
Dettol. DETTOL MY BROTHERS! If there is one single trick I can spread to everyone out there, it's that Dettol can be used to safely remove paint from plastic and resin miniatures, it's super gentle on the model, just needs about a 15 minute soak and some light brushing with a toothbrush or something followed by a good wash to remove the smell of Dettol.
Alcohol based will NOT melt the plastic. It's not the alcohol. I strip paint of plastic models with 90% ethanol all the time and can even let them soak for days without issue.
We need more 40k youtubers to be honest.. goods one like luetin and bricky and majorkill and less people like arch and onemindsyndicate. that be the dream fellas that be the dream
kill team is absolutely amazing for playing the game cheap! small, more intense unit vs unit combat instead of army vs army! it’s also a lot quicker to play, you can play a game in less than an hour
@@samaelmorningstar8082 you could get a 2000pt army for the price of 5 or 6 AAA video games, you can obviously take as long as you want to get there by adding squad by squad. My friend plays Golf and just one decent club costs over £100 then you have other costs for membership etc. So 40k as a hobby is pretty cheap in comparison, it used to be cheaper and i wish it was but you've just got to be smart when buying and not jump on the bandwagon when they release the new stuff.
Welp too late, already just payed $300 on warhammer. But thanks for helping me with getting my friends into it. I started when you showed your pt1. Won my first match recently.
Free rules online are great but I reccomend once you've thought and changed your mind afew times about which army you want to play.I reccomend getting the codex.They aren't that expensive and the lore and artwork and colour schemes will inspire you.
It's 4 am and I couldn't sleep because I felt like I missing out on something, can't believe it was this fuckwad's video Love your Warhammer series btw, keep it up Matt!
Everyone says not to use Ceramcoat and Apple Barrel acrylic craft paints on miniatures, but for decades I've been doing exactly that to great success. $1.69 per 2oz bottle goes a LONG way towards saving a ton of money on paints, and they're easy to mix for new shades & highlights, or thin with water for washes. Just make sure to spray on a clear finish coat or glaze once the paint dries to protect your paint job and it'll be fine. There, that's HUNDREDS saved on Citadel paints & inks.
For painting: get Plastidip as a primer, if you need to do a gradient use an sponge (the big ones for car washing and just cut them up or make up triangle sponges work too) use acrylics, and remember to seal your work, there are a lot of sealents and if you are using acrylics then any one will work just fine
I recently started playing 40k. For the time i stick to second hand models, preferably pre painted so i can start playing with a somewhat good looking army. I'm almost at 100€ spent with some lucky shots(like some broadsides for under 12€ each) and i can easily get to 1300 points. It's a great hobby and although the rules at first seem intimidating i already felt comfortable playing during my second session. I would recommend Wargames like 40k to anyone keen on strategy games as the nature of tabletop games offers so much choice and place for originality. The social component is also something i really like.
I'd also like to add that if you buy pre-painted units and you don't like the paint job then you can use strip the paint. Use ELO from Testors and youtube some tutorials. Also Rust-oleum 2x primer works really well as well. Get a white and a black and do the black on the whole model and then white pointing from the top. It's called a zenithal highlight and will really add some life into your paint job. Make sure when you're priming you hold it far enough away so that the chems evaporate before it hits the plastic otherwise it will eat your plastic.
Another way to save money is to look into what kind of army you want to run. Army's can be horde or elite and horde are typically more expensive. A 5 man Custodian guard squad costs around £35 and gives you roughly 240 points because they're beefy bois. A 30 man Ork squad costs around £60 and gives you roughly 220 points because they're a numbers based force. As matt said you can also proxy models, so for example two boxes of custodes troops and two jetbike squads will cost you around £140. Run one custodian as a Shield captain and one bike as a shield captain. You now have a battalion of a shield captain, shield captain on bike, three 3 man custodes squads and a 5 man bike squad. That's a 1200 point army for reasonably cheap. Planning your army ahead on something like battlescribe saves a lot of cash in the long run. People also make the mistake of thinking an army is cheaper if you get more bang for your buck in terms of models, it's often the other way around. An army is comprised of points so the more points you get for your money is where you save money. Sure buying 5 dudes for £35 instead of 10 dudes for £15 seems less worth it. But if you need five boxes of those £15 guys to match the points of a single £35 box then you aren't actually saving money.
I’ve been thinking about getting into Warhammer recently and these, and other videos, inspired me to visit my local game store. $600 later and I’m now a proud AdMech commander. Hope to see many others on the battlefield!

Ryan Cunningham honestly it was the Transuranic Arquebus on the start collecting box that spoke to me, In the world of mo dakka I had no idea precision existed. It does help that they have all the big guns though....
Never played one of these games before, I mean like tabletop army games. But I've always been interested in both DnD and games like 40k but never got into it, mostly because I don't know how to get into it. So seeing you do just that is really fun and interesting, and I'm happy to follow you on this journey!
Uhhh, hey Matt, that "Russian Website" you mention several times in the video. It isn't legal. The fact that you mentioned it by name means it will likely be nuked by the GW Legal team in a week or two. Would it be possible to re-upload this and redact that info? It's a really great resource to have and I doubt it'll exist for much longer if this stays up. It may already be too late.
And fucked up too because I'd even pay for a website like *redacted, blam!*. Having to buy a ton of books just to play the recent version of the game is just bad practice from the company, but hey GW hungry for dat money.
Karp made a post on the community tab addressing this, the series will be monthly, so we're 1-2 weeks away from the next one. I share your anguish at this news.
My friend had an issue with this when he started 40k. Be careful what spray primer you use. Some leave a shiny coat that the detail paint won't stick to.
For buying models I highly suggest the "Buy Sell and Swap" Facebook groups. There you can find models in various stages of use for dirt cheap prices because people often have leftovers. You might not find what you need immediately, but there are new posts/listings so if you're patient you can find a really great deal on what you want. I recently got 3 Death Guard HQ's and a squad of Plague Marines for only $15. "Warhammer Buy Sell and Swap" for the UK "Warhammer Australia Buy Swap Sell" for Australia "BUY SELL TRADE Warhammer 40k" and a lot more if you look them up. Always pay with Paypal though and don't be afraid to ask for more pictures to make sure you're getting what you want. Also if you ever see these acronyms on a listing and wonder what they mean NIB - New in Box (Brand new, still in the original box it was sold in) NOS - New on Sprue (The models are still on the plastic frame but are unpainted, just lacking a box) OOP - Out of Production (This means the model is from an older set/run and is no longer sold by Games Workshop) Assembled - The model is built so you don't have to do it. But that also means you don't have the chance to customise/pose it how you want. They're typically a lot cheaper than NIB/NOS tho Primed - Assembled and just has a coat or two of spray paint.
My friends and I have been playing 40K for around 6 years in total now I think and I can still remember us sitting together in a circle around one of our computers and watching all these awesome Battlereports, thinking to ourselves "man we will never be able to make Terrain like this or paint our models as good as that." I think a good tip to people starting out with warhammer and especially painting minis or building terrain is watching a ton of tutorials online. I was amazed at the speed we all got better at painting from literally just watching people showing off painting techniques in videos. As for Terrain: It's similar to the whole mountain dew can thing. If you and your friends agree to a wooden box being a hill, then heck it's a hill. There are a lot of cheap ways to get nice terrain: For example MDF Terrain. It's lasercut terrain made of medium-density fibreboard and is cheap as hell compared to all the plastic terrain. But you don't even have to buy MDF terrain - making Terrain yourself feels rewarding as fuck and is way easier than people think. With just a board of styrofoam you can make amazing stuff like cliffs, rocks, temples and way more. Same with painting minis: watching a lot of cool Terrain tutorials is a big help here. We got so many nice and easy to do ideas from watching amazing RUclipsrs like TheTerrainTutor and by now we build all of our Terrain by ourselves. I hope atleast some of this is helpful! Loving the series Matt! Have fun with 40k guys!
If you’ve got a Warhammer store near you and you’re feeling the call, they do free intros where you get to build, paint, and play, then keep the model after! Usually there’ll be regular customers in at weekends, so you can get a feel for the community as well.
My recommendation that Matt touched on is to start with skirmish-level games. I started a Warhammer club at my community college and I got a decent amount of people to start off with Necromunda: Underhive, and we've all had a blast spending no more than $42 on GW plastic (not even including the 15% discount you get a local game store), snagging the occasional rulebook and the various starter sets along the way to add in terrain and other fun stuff. I'd personally recommend doing so with a group of people and starting off a proper Dominion campaign and have it last a number of weeks that you feel like, with the winner at the end getting a pat on the back for their reward. For Necromunda, look into Yaktribe, it's a miracle of a website that requires 0 money and 0 downloading. Also, if sci-fi isn't much of your thing, there's Age of Sigmar that has similar skirmish-level games available (or if you're feeling spicy, you and your friends can aid in resurrecting Mordheim today!).
I always knew about table top simulator, but I never would have thought of playing war hammer on it. I'd absolutely love to get into the real thing but I don't really have the money to spend, even if I was buying as budget as possible. Before this video I thought I'd only be able to watch them play war hammer but now I can at least try by playing online. Thanks Matt
I love how he looks like he's on the verge of tears for the whole video, as if the fact that he spend $1000 on plastic minis for a game he's never played is finally sinking in
You covered all the major things. one thing to add though would be making your own recasts. Blue stuff, green stuff and milliput can turn one box of models into 10 with some time and skill. Even on a smaller scale say you bought 5 sniper scouts but then you find the box only has 4 snipers and 1 heavy weapon make a cast on a sniper rifle and you save yourself having to buy another box or buying another 1 model from a bits site or ebay.
Battle Primer is a great start, but I would venture Battle Scribe, Tabletop Simulator as a start too! I know you mention them and have another video on those. Also Dark Imperium or Know No Feat sets (this is being replaced in 9th I believe), but splitting that between you and a buddy or sell one half. Core rulebook is in there too in Dark Imperium. Wahapedia is a superb tip, and hope that remains!
Are you going to introduce some of the more welcoming hobby / gaming channels on youtube? Off the top of my head Miniac - Hobby - Competitive Painter Tabletop Minions - Hobby - Awesome dude! Mini War Gaming - Gaming - Very prolific battle reports SkaredCast - Lots of battle reports - competitive player WinterSEO - Best Narrative campaigns and games MoarHammer - WinterSEO business partner who also does fun friendly batreps
With the ebay painted models you can repaint them by using a little tub of simple green. Toss them in the tub, leave them for a day, brush off all the paint
If you're looking for some good looking but fairly cheap terrain for your games I recommend ttcombat's terrain. It's laser cut and fairly easy to put together plus their sci fi gothic stuff really works for 40k
Hey, you can download the books for free at this shady websi..."gunshot sounds" "User has been executed by the inquisition for illegal distribution of heretical tomes"
Honestly the start collecting sets are perfect. They have quite a good few models in and a good amount of points. Choose which one you like the most and spend £50 on it.
If you want a fun way to get into the lore I would recommend the Emperor text to speech series on youtube. The story line isn't canon but they do inform you of dam near every faction as accurately as possible. That and its is Hilarious.
I do have a 3D printer, and I mostly use it for making terrain. Most players for 40K and AoS don't need to pay for GW terrain features unless you need a specific model for games rules. Also, I love the idea of starting with Kill Team (40k)/Warcry(AoS), as all of the stuff is transferable to the big games. Proxies are also great for playing at local stores until you get the money to buy the proper models. I've seen guys in Warhammer stores proxy Ork vehicles as Space Marine Tanks, and the employees encouraged it.
Some armies, namely the Astra Militarium (Imperial Guard) can fill that out super cheap (points wise). IMO, Patrol Detachments and Battalions might be a better start.
@@angrygnome44 Yeah every person I've gotten into the hobby I recommended to start with a barebones Patrol at like 500 points and then fill out the Patrol to its limit. That way they got to use/try models from the different force org slots and it gives a good base for moving into almost any detachment type, and sets you up for detachment combinations which are so important at higher points values.
The worst thing about the citadel rattle cans is that on top of being twice as expensive as krylon or rustoleum cans, they also have like, a quarter of the paint in them. Bought a can of black and I ran out after using it on a tactical squad and a dread. Meanwhile, I've got a can of krylon white primer that I used on over 60 lizardmen models just yesterday and it's still got about a third of the paint left in the can. It would have cost me something like 60-70 dollars to get the same coverage with gw spray. Also, for the citadel paints, if you like the paints but hate the bottles, it's possible to order empty dropper bottles off of Amazon. Transferring the paint itself might be irritating, but being able to use it easier in the long run helps immensely. Cheers
a great money saver : let's say you got a tactical squad and you need a lascanon for it, you dont need to buy the devastator box (or any options for any unit that is'nt available in the box), just roam the internet for "bits" or "bitz" store and tada, you can buy just that piece of plastic you need, not an entire box. keep in mind the most popular pieces sells fast, but look everywhere and eventually you'll grab what you wanted.
I love how you've proven to me that no matter what you upload I'll still watch it. I have no interest in any of this but damn it's entertaining to watch you talk about what you're interested in. Well done Matt!
Speaking as someone who has been floundering around trying to figure out a good (and preferably inexpensive) way to get into 40k I found this video super helpful! Big thank!
$10 dice and tape measure, plus $50 painting supplies - that's $60 startup that'll last you a loooong while. Then a one-box kill team is just $50, sometimes less.
fyi there are topdown view sheets for most fractions so you can just print an army and glue it on carton and cut it so you have basesized chips with pictures of the unit on it
If you're like me and prefer having physical books: find a secondhand media shop. My home city has a couple, and that's how I built up some on my stash of books, 40K and otherwise, for an easier to swallow price. Also watch for sales- got the CRB for half off that way.
Oh, it's a running joke amongst the WH40K community how horrendously overpriced everything is. Games Workshop is most likely very much aware of it, but since the only alternative to buying their kits is to 3d print your own (which is also unbelievably pricey), they know they can get away with it and have been for decades.
Have you ever looked at GRIMDARK Future, and GRIMDARK FUTURE Firefight, free rules, use your minis from GW, updated occasionally, and also WOrth a look, for the non-competition gamers?
This is so cool! You did a good job and you were excited in the video. I think that'll help people who were unsure if they wanted to play the game decide.
Aight, this shit is pretty damn enjoyable. You mentioned that this won't turn into a W40k channel, but do consider making more videos on various board games and shit. It's honestly really interesting and funny to watch, and it seems like you enjoy making it.
Ask around your club or friends that play if they know any local facebook groups! Usually you can get some pretty good deals on there of people in your area trying to sell off models they don't want, especially if you know people in the competitive scene because at a super high level players will often buy entire armies based on the meta and sell them off for a new army when that army gets nerfed. Most of the time those models that came from competitive players are painted from a tabletop standard upwards to a really good standard depending on what kind of player they are. Plus, if you feel like changing up your army because you don't feel like you enjoy the one you picked, these facebook groups are great ways to recycle armies as the resell value on models is really good. That's my experience in a small scene with collecting models esp on as tight a budget as i have.
Been privvy of Warhammer for quite some time, but mostly because of Fantasy Flight Games such as Dark Heresy and Rogue Trader. I enjoy the lore quite a lot and knowing that TTS can give you a feel for the wargame has definitely piqued my interest, I'll be giving it a go.
Whenever you said yugioh, I got a bit hype because if they’re planning to do a yugioh video. I would love to be part of it and help them out, building they’re decks, going to card shops and being assholes to each other when we play the game. God that would be a dream come true
Best way to save money on models: Flea market. Your LGS (local game store) probably has some sort of flea market or trade day. A lot of people just want cash for models or and new. Most people even take venmo or paypal.
One of the biggest aspects for spending less money is to be smart with your purchases and not overspend on things that don't directly help you. You already mentioned brushes and paint, but terrain is one of the main ways I see beginners pay too much for. Sure nicely painted and specified warhammer terrain is great and all, but it's also limiting. If you want to test something out like adding a hill, dont go buying extra moss an some stand, just use like a cereal box and overlay it with like a 1$ felt mat from the craft store as a go to proxy or use a broken piece of plastic as half-cover or something. Building a good terrain can be even more difficult then building a good army from scratch because you need to be aware of so much in the game and when you always go out to buy something in small increments because "you need a bit more cover", "this is too big" etc. etc. you are going to spend a lot of money that initially goes nowhere. Sure maybe you can use it for another board sometime, but as a beginner you should follow a focus and be aware of that. I had this girl who asked me for a budget 1000 point Skitarii list that I made her for 350€ with codex, and she spent close to 300€ on material for his table where only half of it was used and a lot of things were technically unnecessary and if he just went to the craft store it could have been made for like 80-90$ max, all because he kept buying more and more small stuff that added up. Also maybe if you want to test out the waters just ask someone locally who is considered a bit of an expert or specialist. Like I know a lot about AdMech stuff since that's what I started playing with and there are strategies that can be a lot cheaper and you don't see to often.
Yeah, All hobbies can be pricey. Working out - Gym/equiptment Cars - Car and accessories Music - instruments/lessons So this isnt "THAT" expensive compared to other hobbies.
Yea, tts is the perfect choice. It allows you to playtest whatever you like with friends that maybe gotta work a lot and can't come to your local gameshop/wherever you play.
Also, I think a few other people mentioned, but buying models second hand is a great way to save $$$. I bought my eldar army and chaos army almost all second hand, and got it like, 25% off of retail.
Man, this makes me feel bad for all the money that my parents spent on Warhammer for me years ago. I was NOT ready for Warhammer (haven’t really played the game). I even have Age of Sigmar figures for some reason (they’re fun to paint at least). Starting to get back into painting figures recently. Don’t know if I’ll play any games, but who knows?
Great video oh now to get into the 40k! I definitely suggest table top simulator I play with my brother on it from across the country. The actual table top game is a lot more fun for us though, because the battles take so long it basically turns into an all day potluck, five or so of my buddies and bro together with drinks, snacks, talking about lore, games, marvel, rl shit, tactics, always ends with a BBQ for dinner.
Get first strike, core rules, 15 minis, Space marines, death guard, lore book, simple terrain and play mat. Then maybe top yourself off with vallejo game color for 40 bucks then your set, first strike = 35 bucks
I won't lie to you Matt, i don't have much interest in 40k, but i still enjoy your content, which is why i watch your videos because if i chose to make a channel talking about dnd but took a brake to talk about lets say Skyrim i would still try to make entertaining for my fans, just like you do. :D keep doing you Matt!
What drove me away from playing tabletop was back in highschool I never had enough money to compete with the bigger 2000 point armies so I'd always get my shit kicked in pretty fast
You can also make appropriately sized cardboard cutouts of the models with the right size bases. I did that with GW:s other game Adeptus Titanicus, and at the same time changed the measuring system from inches to cm, downscaling it so you can play it on a normal table like a board game.
I would advise people to start with Kill Team because real 40k can be very overwhelming for new players. I really love this series and, as a big Warhammer fan myself, can't wait to see more! Keep up the good work Matt! P.s Will you only focus on the game itself or will you also mention the lore? It is the best part of the game in my opinion :D

My friend plays Golf and just one decent club costs over £100 then you have other costs for membership etc. So 40k as a hobby is pretty cheap in comparison, it used to be cheaper and i wish it was but you've just got to be smart when buying and not jump on the bandwagon when they release the new stuff.
Welp too late, already just payed $300 on warhammer. But thanks for helping me with getting my friends into it. I started when you showed your pt1. Won my first match recently.
Heh... Hehehe... Hahaha
HAHAHAHAHAHAH, ONLY 300? YOU SMOL BABY BOI!

Free rules online are great but I reccomend once you've thought and changed your mind afew times about which army you want to play.I reccomend getting the codex.They aren't that expensive and the lore and artwork and colour schemes will inspire you.
It's 4 am and I couldn't sleep because I felt like I missing out on something, can't believe it was this fuckwad's video
Love your Warhammer series btw, keep it up Matt!

Everyone says not to use Ceramcoat and Apple Barrel acrylic craft paints on miniatures, but for decades I've been doing exactly that to great success. $1.69 per 2oz bottle goes a LONG way towards saving a ton of money on paints, and they're easy to mix for new shades & highlights, or thin with water for washes. Just make sure to spray on a clear finish coat or glaze once the paint dries to protect your paint job and it'll be fine. There, that's HUNDREDS saved on Citadel paints & inks.
When you go to buy models don’t go to an actual games workshop. It’s almost always cheaper to buy from third party hobby shops.
For painting: get Plastidip as a primer, if you need to do a gradient use an sponge (the big ones for car washing and just cut them up or make up triangle sponges work too) use acrylics, and remember to seal your work, there are a lot of sealents and if you are using acrylics then any one will work just fine
I recently started playing 40k. For the time i stick to second hand models, preferably pre painted so i can start playing with a somewhat good looking army.
I'm almost at 100€ spent with some lucky shots(like some broadsides for under 12€ each) and i can easily get to 1300 points. It's a great hobby and although the rules at first seem intimidating i already felt comfortable playing during my second session.
I would recommend Wargames like 40k to anyone keen on strategy games as the nature of tabletop games offers so much choice and place for originality. The social component is also something i really like.
I'd also like to add that if you buy pre-painted units and you don't like the paint job then you can use strip the paint. Use ELO from Testors and youtube some tutorials.
Also Rust-oleum 2x primer works really well as well. Get a white and a black and do the black on the whole model and then white pointing from the top. It's called a zenithal highlight and will really add some life into your paint job. Make sure when you're priming you hold it far enough away so that the chems evaporate before it hits the plastic otherwise it will eat your plastic.
Guys, for the books just know there is a TROVE of knowledge for this. You know a TROVE!!
Another way to save money is to look into what kind of army you want to run. Army's can be horde or elite and horde are typically more expensive. A 5 man Custodian guard squad costs around £35 and gives you roughly 240 points because they're beefy bois. A 30 man Ork squad costs around £60 and gives you roughly 220 points because they're a numbers based force.
As matt said you can also proxy models, so for example two boxes of custodes troops and two jetbike squads will cost you around £140. Run one custodian as a Shield captain and one bike as a shield captain. You now have a battalion of a shield captain, shield captain on bike, three 3 man custodes squads and a 5 man bike squad. That's a 1200 point army for reasonably cheap.
Planning your army ahead on something like battlescribe saves a lot of cash in the long run.
People also make the mistake of thinking an army is cheaper if you get more bang for your buck in terms of models, it's often the other way around. An army is comprised of points so the more points you get for your money is where you save money. Sure buying 5 dudes for £35 instead of 10 dudes for £15 seems less worth it. But if you need five boxes of those £15 guys to match the points of a single £35 box then you aren't actually saving money.
I’ve been thinking about getting into Warhammer recently and these, and other videos, inspired me to visit my local game store. $600 later and I’m now a proud AdMech commander. Hope to see many others on the battlefield!
Be sure to set some more money aside, AdMech is getting new models soon!
Will Fischer I had no idea, I kind of felt like the codex felt thin, even more excited for tech god supremacy!

Ryan Cunningham honestly it was the Transuranic Arquebus on the start collecting box that spoke to me, In the world of mo dakka I had no idea precision existed.
It does help that they have all the big guns though....
Never played one of these games before, I mean like tabletop army games. But I've always been interested in both DnD and games like 40k but never got into it, mostly because I don't know how to get into it. So seeing you do just that is really fun and interesting, and I'm happy to follow you on this journey!
Uhhh, hey Matt, that "Russian Website" you mention several times in the video. It isn't legal. The fact that you mentioned it by name means it will likely be nuked by the GW Legal team in a week or two. Would it be possible to re-upload this and redact that info? It's a really great resource to have and I doubt it'll exist for much longer if this stays up. It may already be too late.
And fucked up too because I'd even pay for a website like *redacted, blam!*. Having to buy a ton of books just to play the recent version of the game is just bad practice from the company, but hey GW hungry for dat money.
do you mean the wahawiki? or did he cut it out already?
Yep it is illegal because I recieved "Infringement removal request" from GW. But don’t worry mate, they will not take me down that easy ;)
I got to that part and immediately started yelling, "NO THEY ARE GONNA CEASE AND DESIST MY FAVORITE WEBSITE!"
Vassal the predecessor of Table Top Simulator got into it with GW's legal team.
honestly it just makes me happy you are uploading aging dont quit
When’s Part 2 of your Journey to 40k series?
Karp made a post on the community tab addressing this, the series will be monthly, so we're 1-2 weeks away from the next one. I share your anguish at this news.
20:00
Random Guy - Oh lol I’m an idiot
My friend had an issue with this when he started 40k. Be careful what spray primer you use. Some leave a shiny coat that the detail paint won't stick to.
For buying models I highly suggest the "Buy Sell and Swap" Facebook groups. There you can find models in various stages of use for dirt cheap prices because people often have leftovers. You might not find what you need immediately, but there are new posts/listings so if you're patient you can find a really great deal on what you want. I recently got 3 Death Guard HQ's and a squad of Plague Marines for only $15.
"Warhammer Buy Sell and Swap" for the UK
"Warhammer Australia Buy Swap Sell" for Australia
"BUY SELL TRADE Warhammer 40k" and a lot more if you look them up.
Always pay with Paypal though and don't be afraid to ask for more pictures to make sure you're getting what you want.
Also if you ever see these acronyms on a listing and wonder what they mean
NIB - New in Box (Brand new, still in the original box it was sold in)
NOS - New on Sprue (The models are still on the plastic frame but are unpainted, just lacking a box)
OOP - Out of Production (This means the model is from an older set/run and is no longer sold by Games Workshop)
Assembled - The model is built so you don't have to do it. But that also means you don't have the chance to customise/pose it how you want. They're typically a lot cheaper than NIB/NOS tho
Primed - Assembled and just has a coat or two of spray paint.
My friends and I have been playing 40K for around 6 years in total now I think and I can still remember us sitting together in a circle around one of our computers and watching all these awesome Battlereports, thinking to ourselves "man we will never be able to make Terrain like this or paint our models as good as that."
I think a good tip to people starting out with warhammer and especially painting minis or building terrain is watching a ton of tutorials online. I was amazed at the speed we all got better at painting from literally just watching people showing off painting techniques in videos.
As for Terrain: It's similar to the whole mountain dew can thing. If you and your friends agree to a wooden box being a hill, then heck it's a hill.
There are a lot of cheap ways to get nice terrain: For example MDF Terrain. It's lasercut terrain made of medium-density fibreboard and is cheap as hell compared to all the plastic terrain.
But you don't even have to buy MDF terrain - making Terrain yourself feels rewarding as fuck and is way easier than people think. With just a board of styrofoam you can make amazing stuff like cliffs, rocks, temples and way more. Same with painting minis: watching a lot of cool Terrain tutorials is a big help here.
We got so many nice and easy to do ideas from watching amazing RUclipsrs like TheTerrainTutor and by now we build all of our Terrain by ourselves.
I hope atleast some of this is helpful! Loving the series Matt! Have fun with 40k guys!
solid tips broski!
Yo I love your vids
Whoa goobertown hobbies what are YOU doing here
If you’ve got a Warhammer store near you and you’re feeling the call, they do free intros where you get to build, paint, and play, then keep the model after! Usually there’ll be regular customers in at weekends, so you can get a feel for the community as well.

My recommendation that Matt touched on is to start with skirmish-level games. I started a Warhammer club at my community college and I got a decent amount of people to start off with Necromunda: Underhive, and we've all had a blast spending no more than $42 on GW plastic (not even including the 15% discount you get a local game store), snagging the occasional rulebook and the various starter sets along the way to add in terrain and other fun stuff. I'd personally recommend doing so with a group of people and starting off a proper Dominion campaign and have it last a number of weeks that you feel like, with the winner at the end getting a pat on the back for their reward. For Necromunda, look into Yaktribe, it's a miracle of a website that requires 0 money and 0 downloading. Also, if sci-fi isn't much of your thing, there's Age of Sigmar that has similar skirmish-level games available (or if you're feeling spicy, you and your friends can aid in resurrecting Mordheim today!).
I always knew about table top simulator, but I never would have thought of playing war hammer on it. I'd absolutely love to get into the real thing but I don't really have the money to spend, even if I was buying as budget as possible. Before this video I thought I'd only be able to watch them play war hammer but now I can at least try by playing online. Thanks Matt
‘You wanna thin your paints’ - someone’s heard the word of Duncan ;)
I love how he looks like he's on the verge of tears for the whole video, as if the fact that he spend $1000 on plastic minis for a game he's never played is finally sinking in
You covered all the major things. one thing to add though would be making your own recasts. Blue stuff, green stuff and milliput can turn one box of models into 10 with some time and skill. Even on a smaller scale say you bought 5 sniper scouts but then you find the box only has 4 snipers and 1 heavy weapon make a cast on a sniper rifle and you save yourself having to buy another box or buying another 1 model from a bits site or ebay.
“Getting in to 40k as cheap as possible”.
MFW I spent double on models because Death Korps of Krieg troops are too cool...
You can get (sorta) cheap death Corp on eBay
Battle Primer is a great start, but I would venture Battle Scribe, Tabletop Simulator as a start too! I know you mention them and have another video on those. Also Dark Imperium or Know No Feat sets (this is being replaced in 9th I believe), but splitting that between you and a buddy or sell one half. Core rulebook is in there too in Dark Imperium. Wahapedia is a superb tip, and hope that remains!
Are you going to introduce some of the more welcoming hobby / gaming channels on youtube?
Off the top of my head
Miniac - Hobby - Competitive Painter
Tabletop Minions - Hobby - Awesome dude!
Mini War Gaming - Gaming - Very prolific battle reports
SkaredCast - Lots of battle reports - competitive player
WinterSEO - Best Narrative campaigns and games
MoarHammer - WinterSEO business partner who also does fun friendly batreps
TheOneDudeOnline almost pro gaming is also amazing
I'm actually kind of sad he talked about Wahapedia. When the list builder website became mainstream GW shut it down hard.
"A couple of days go" Uhhh Matt that was 2 WEEKS ago
Loving this dive into 40k. I’ve been interested in it for years but was far to nervous to take the dive, but you might have convinced me!
For someone who used to Edit porn, I would expect a surplus of testosterone in you to grow facial hair with
I love that you're the only one in the comments section talking about the mustache and not the cost of warhammer
With the ebay painted models you can repaint them by using a little tub of simple green. Toss them in the tub, leave them for a day, brush off all the paint
More people getting into 40k? By the silent king, that's some good news.
If you're looking for some good looking but fairly cheap terrain for your games I recommend ttcombat's terrain. It's laser cut and fairly easy to put together plus their sci fi gothic stuff really works for 40k

Honestly the start collecting sets are perfect. They have quite a good few models in and a good amount of points. Choose which one you like the most and spend £50 on it.
Love how you get so interested on the fantastic universe of Warhammer
That said...WHEN'S BLUD BOWL, BOI???
An even more alluring end helpful video than the previous one, good job I really start digging this entire hobby
If you want a fun way to get into the lore I would recommend the Emperor text to speech series on youtube. The story line isn't canon but they do inform you of dam near every faction as accurately as possible. That and its is Hilarious.
I do have a 3D printer, and I mostly use it for making terrain. Most players for 40K and AoS don't need to pay for GW terrain features unless you need a specific model for games rules. Also, I love the idea of starting with Kill Team (40k)/Warcry(AoS), as all of the stuff is transferable to the big games. Proxies are also great for playing at local stores until you get the money to buy the proper models. I've seen guys in Warhammer stores proxy Ork vehicles as Space Marine Tanks, and the employees encouraged it.
"When you're starting off, only look at Battalions and Brigades"
>looking at Brigades at all when starting, with that many model requirement.
Some armies, namely the Astra Militarium (Imperial Guard) can fill that out super cheap (points wise).
IMO, Patrol Detachments and Battalions might be a better start.
@@angrygnome44 Yeah every person I've gotten into the hobby I recommended to start with a barebones Patrol at like 500 points and then fill out the Patrol to its limit. That way they got to use/try models from the different force org slots and it gives a good base for moving into almost any detachment type, and sets you up for detachment combinations which are so important at higher points values.
The worst thing about the citadel rattle cans is that on top of being twice as expensive as krylon or rustoleum cans, they also have like, a quarter of the paint in them. Bought a can of black and I ran out after using it on a tactical squad and a dread. Meanwhile, I've got a can of krylon white primer that I used on over 60 lizardmen models just yesterday and it's still got about a third of the paint left in the can. It would have cost me something like 60-70 dollars to get the same coverage with gw spray.
Also, for the citadel paints, if you like the paints but hate the bottles, it's possible to order empty dropper bottles off of Amazon. Transferring the paint itself might be irritating, but being able to use it easier in the long run helps immensely. Cheers
"Brother, get the flamer, the heavy. flamer."
You will get this soon maybe magikarp? ;3
a great money saver : let's say you got a tactical squad and you need a lascanon for it, you dont need to buy the devastator box (or any options for any unit that is'nt available in the box), just roam the internet for "bits" or "bitz" store and tada, you can buy just that piece of plastic you need, not an entire box. keep in mind the most popular pieces sells fast, but look everywhere and eventually you'll grab what you wanted.
I love how you've proven to me that no matter what you upload I'll still watch it. I have no interest in any of this but damn it's entertaining to watch you talk about what you're interested in. Well done Matt!
Speaking as someone who has been floundering around trying to figure out a good (and preferably inexpensive) way to get into 40k I found this video super helpful! Big thank!
Damn I'd love an AoS vid, League definitely has Warhammer blood in it (Twitch is definitely a Skaven)
$10 dice and tape measure, plus $50 painting supplies - that's $60 startup that'll last you a loooong while. Then a one-box kill team is just $50, sometimes less.

My weird ass Uncle who's always around children: 0:09
Excuse me
fyi there are topdown view sheets for most fractions so you can just print an army and glue it on carton and cut it so you have basesized chips with pictures of the unit on it
I generally agree about spray primer, but the Citadel Black primer is actually some of the best primer ive ever used.
If you're like me and prefer having physical books: find a secondhand media shop. My home city has a couple, and that's how I built up some on my stash of books, 40K and otherwise, for an easier to swallow price. Also watch for sales- got the CRB for half off that way.
Oh, it's a running joke amongst the WH40K community how horrendously overpriced everything is. Games Workshop is most likely very much aware of it, but since the only alternative to buying their kits is to 3d print your own (which is also unbelievably pricey), they know they can get away with it and have been for decades.
Have you ever looked at GRIMDARK Future, and GRIMDARK FUTURE Firefight, free rules, use your minis from GW, updated occasionally, and also WOrth a look, for the non-competition gamers?
This is so cool! You did a good job and you were excited in the video. I think that'll help people who were unsure if they wanted to play the game decide.
Aight, this shit is pretty damn enjoyable. You mentioned that this won't turn into a W40k channel, but do consider making more videos on various board games and shit. It's honestly really interesting and funny to watch, and it seems like you enjoy making it.
Ask around your club or friends that play if they know any local facebook groups! Usually you can get some pretty good deals on there of people in your area trying to sell off models they don't want, especially if you know people in the competitive scene because at a super high level players will often buy entire armies based on the meta and sell them off for a new army when that army gets nerfed. Most of the time those models that came from competitive players are painted from a tabletop standard upwards to a really good standard depending on what kind of player they are. Plus, if you feel like changing up your army because you don't feel like you enjoy the one you picked, these facebook groups are great ways to recycle armies as the resell value on models is really good. That's my experience in a small scene with collecting models esp on as tight a budget as i have.
Been privvy of Warhammer for quite some time, but mostly because of Fantasy Flight Games such as Dark Heresy and Rogue Trader. I enjoy the lore quite a lot and knowing that TTS can give you a feel for the wargame has definitely piqued my interest, I'll be giving it a go.
Whenever you said yugioh, I got a bit hype because if they’re planning to do a yugioh video. I would love to be part of it and help them out, building they’re decks, going to card shops and being assholes to each other when we play the game. God that would be a dream come true
I hope you continue the documentary on you guys getting into 40k proper
so happy to see you upload man, could use a dose of happiness once in a while
Best way to save money on models: Flea market. Your LGS (local game store) probably has some sort of flea market or trade day. A lot of people just want cash for models or and new. Most people even take venmo or paypal.
One of the biggest aspects for spending less money is to be smart with your purchases and not overspend on things that don't directly help you.
You already mentioned brushes and paint, but terrain is one of the main ways I see beginners pay too much for. Sure nicely painted and specified warhammer terrain is great and all, but it's also limiting.
If you want to test something out like adding a hill, dont go buying extra moss an some stand, just use like a cereal box and overlay it with like a 1$ felt mat from the craft store as a go to proxy or use a broken piece of plastic as half-cover or something. Building a good terrain can be even more difficult then building a good army from scratch because you need to be aware of so much in the game and when you always go out to buy something in small increments because "you need a bit more cover", "this is too big" etc. etc. you are going to spend a lot of money that initially goes nowhere. Sure maybe you can use it for another board sometime, but as a beginner you should follow a focus and be aware of that.
I had this girl who asked me for a budget 1000 point Skitarii list that I made her for 350€ with codex, and she spent close to 300€ on material for his table where only half of it was used and a lot of things were technically unnecessary and if he just went to the craft store it could have been made for like 80-90$ max, all because he kept buying more and more small stuff that added up.
Also maybe if you want to test out the waters just ask someone locally who is considered a bit of an expert or specialist. Like I know a lot about AdMech stuff since that's what I started playing with and there are strategies that can be a lot cheaper and you don't see to often.
Yeah, All hobbies can be pricey.
Working out - Gym/equiptment
Cars - Car and accessories
Music - instruments/lessons
So this isnt "THAT" expensive compared to other hobbies.
You buy plastic toys, so compared to other hobbies this is not only more ecpensive its a rip off
Yea, tts is the perfect choice. It allows you to playtest whatever you like with friends that maybe gotta work a lot and can't come to your local gameshop/wherever you play.
Also, I think a few other people mentioned, but buying models second hand is a great way to save $$$. I bought my eldar army and chaos army almost all second hand, and got it like, 25% off of retail.
Dude I wasn't even thinking about playing 40k but I feel like I learned something today, awesome video my guy
Man, this makes me feel bad for all the money that my parents spent on Warhammer for me years ago. I was NOT ready for Warhammer (haven’t really played the game). I even have Age of Sigmar figures for some reason (they’re fun to paint at least). Starting to get back into painting figures recently. Don’t know if I’ll play any games, but who knows?
FUCKING MISSED THAT SWEET SWEET QUALITY CONTENT
Matt didn't know or forgot to mention that there is another kill team starter with Ad Mech vs Genestealer cult.
Great video oh now to get into the 40k! I definitely suggest table top simulator I play with my brother on it from across the country. The actual table top game is a lot more fun for us though, because the battles take so long it basically turns into an all day potluck, five or so of my buddies and bro together with drinks, snacks, talking about lore, games, marvel, rl shit, tactics, always ends with a BBQ for dinner.
Me here, still waiting for episode 2. This is the true only reason I hate the quarantine
this is a comment to feed the aglolorirythm :)
ALSO FUCK YEAH, I alredy had tabletop simulator and i didn't know, so i can start for free!!! :D
Or you could, and hear me out on this, just play Dawn of War.
Get first strike, core rules, 15 minis, Space marines, death guard, lore book, simple terrain and play mat. Then maybe top yourself off with vallejo game color for 40 bucks then your set, first strike = 35 bucks
I’m loving the 40K content! Didn’t even know what it was until the first vid, thanks for showing it to me. Keep up the good work!
I won't lie to you Matt, i don't have much interest in 40k, but i still enjoy your content, which is why i watch your videos because if i chose to make a channel talking about dnd but took a brake to talk about lets say Skyrim i would still try to make entertaining for my fans, just like you do. :D keep doing you Matt!
What drove me away from playing tabletop was back in highschool I never had enough money to compete with the bigger 2000 point armies so I'd always get my shit kicked in pretty fast
finally
ive been waitin for this video for years
You can also make appropriately sized cardboard cutouts of the models with the right size bases. I did that with GW:s other game Adeptus Titanicus, and at the same time changed the measuring system from inches to cm, downscaling it so you can play it on a normal table like a board game.
I would advise people to start with Kill Team because real 40k can be very overwhelming for new players. I really love this series and, as a big Warhammer fan myself, can't wait to see more! Keep up the good work Matt! P.s Will you only focus on the game itself or will you also mention the lore? It is the best part of the game in my opinion :D
