Did Peachy explain varnish clearly? No, he just glossed over it.

@@jonscott6459 amazing work, screw you, I love it
😂😂😂 i wouldn't want to be Satin your shoes
I don't know, i think it was fairly transparent.
Deep lore:
Rob has Louise for purpose.
Louise has Rob for display.
He does have a Chaos Dwarf army.
And Peach is for pegging
It is hard for a man in the hobby
It's hard to be a man in wargaming haha
I feel like that should be reversed. I think Rob is the only thing keeping Louise for going off the rails
I love that Juggz is basically group therapy for the three of you. You set a great example of how friends and partners (or flatmates) should be reassuring, supportive and cheerleading for each other, especially in our community where some of us struggle with positive human interactions. The way you lift each other up is very wholesome.
@@RobTheWarGaymer it's maybe my favourite thing about the show. I recently got an adult ADHD diagnosis, and seeing how this group talks about neurodivergence has been really helpful
😍🙏😍 thanks Rob, that’s super lovely to read, it’s become my personally therapy tbh chillin and chatting with these two incredible humans
@@iiiiiiiiiicecreamit’s certainly highlighted a whole host of things in me, and helped Mrs P understand her odd husband more too 😂
This can't be normal. I literally yelled YES when I saw a new episode of Juggz come up. No other podcast has this effect on me.
Same!
Same!
Yep. I also punched the air.
Same here!
same, i think 2 hours of positivity is essential for my sanity
I have missed my two hobby Dads and chaotic gremlin little sister.
I've never heard a more accurate description.
Your dad is "roommates" with your sister? Interesting
Christ yes, Peachy is such a Hobby Dad
just want to write to express my appreciation for the three of you. remember that the whingers and incels are hyper motivated to comment, but you don’t hear from the 99% of people who love to watch your things and have nothing bad to say. so doing this just so you hear a bit more of that. I had a shitty day today and came home stressed and feeling very down. listening to you guys broke me out of it and got me up doing human things again. always have time for you and always understand when you guys need to take time for yourselves.
For the Rascal animal size "issue" I think you should introduce a mighty "scalcerer" who is a shaman-type wizard that brews and bakes Alice in Wonderland style "eat me" "drink me" concoctions. These can size up or down animals, companions and mounts. Could also tie it in with the Mario power up mushrooms trope.
I'm imagining a witch doctor Getafix (from Asterix and Obelix) but as a Goblin
Thanks for the mention folks about my audio 😊 Lemme know if you want to discord chat sometime and I can show you how I do it
Why's your voice AI BRO
@@JuggzthePodcast 👁️👄👁️
Hearing Rob give cred to Audio Engineers makes my little goblin heart sing
Happy birthday to Louise! Also “post your miniatures” to chase away the “muh lore” bois is brilliant.
Comming from Louise its a perfect comeback.
Like... I cant even compare nor compete to that level of painting.
28:55
Dang! Looking good, guys!
And good to see you without those childish hats, Rob!*
*this is a Squarebased reference
I think even a "what army do you play?" might be enough to shut some of them up.
Rob, I want you to know I really value all the AOS4 videos you have put out over the past few months. I have started a escalation league in my local community and if it weren't for your videos, learning the rules would have been much more difficult. I definitely understand the drain and want you to know I appreciate the hardwork.
My favourite idiots calling non-tourists tourists was when someone called John Blanche a tourist.
Reminded me of the time someone told William Gibson that he just didn't understand the genre when he said the initial Cyberpunk 2077 trailer just looked like retro future GTA.
You can't educate pork. 😂
@@vallasch "can't educate pork" that's beautiful
That Tolkien guy was a poser.
There is a difference between detail and being busy. Gamesworkshop miniatures have crossed the line from detailed into busy.
100% this!
At this point I think they’re just making these horribly cut-up, over detailed models to keep them from being 3D scannable.
I’m having a truly miserable period of my life, don’t have the energy to work on the hobby at all…
But a new episode of Juggz makes me smile, makes me happy and makes me feel like I’m still participating in the hobby, even in this “down period”.
Thank you for doing this! ❤
i don’t know you but i can relate. it does get better…hang in there, and the minis will still be waiting for you when you come out the other side
Keep trucking my friend. The miserable periods come and go - and I hope it doesn’t hang around too long for you. As hard as it is sometimes, try to stay positive - things work out in the end, even if you can’t see the wood for the trees right now. You’ll get there…. And when you do, the hobby will be there still. Take care.
Thank you for sharing. Keep your head up and be well! There is no weakness in asking for help.
Just listening to Louise talking about being called a "tourist" - I've started doing some streaming of painting, and literally first day of streaming had a guy come into the chat, started talking and he just straight up complains that "girls are ruining the hobby". I'm just aghast at the brovado of these absolute tools. Solidarity with you, Louise, don't let the bastards grind you down.
I think they are jealous. Make up is a super popular hobby for girls, it really helps understand highlights, shading, colour, blending, etc which has so much overlap and transfer with miniature painting (particularly for faces, which are super tricky).
Likewise, lady’s fashion has so much scope for understanding design, which colours and patterns work well together, how to build an overall appearance and accessorise properly.
So when a girl or a woman steps into warhammer their very first models can be mindblowingly good - both in creativity and execution, and I feel like this builds resentment in guys who feel like these ladies have got results without doing the work for it.
It's not bravado, just a low resolution heuristic. Like racism based on significantly bad (or good) experiences with a certain race.
There are so few women in the hobby that people actually interact with. If those interactions are negative it can skew people's assumptions.
Beyond that, a feeling of jealousy of unearned attention may cause some viewers to prickle. You have natural advantages (we all do), be aware that others may be resentful of them.
@@Raygun9000 yeah I think bravado is the wrong word, but my internal thesaurus stopped working for a hot minute there!
@@PluckeesChannel I'm not sure if it'd help, but acknowledging the advantages of being a woman in a male space may blunt these clumsy attacks.
Ignoring them is probably the easiest and safest path however.
@@Raygun9000 That would just get them more excited to lash out. What they be describing aren't critics, they are people looking for something to kick.
This podcast is unreasonably good. All three of youse are treasures. It's always a massive highlight of my week and I appreciate you all very, very much for taking the time to put it together!
Favorite 3 minis of the last 2 years:
1. Harbinger of Decay
2. Abraxia, Spear of the Everchosen
3. Daemon Prince/Lion El'Johnson (tie)
❤❤❤ aww thanks
my top 3 miniatures released over the last 2 years:
- Norn emissary
- daemon prince
- neurolictor
shout out to the new vespids though, they were very close
Another great episode guys. Got to say I enjoy Robs voice of reason on these, with Peachys enthusiasm and Louises imagination you guys would make for a great game of D&D
Also I think another word for value is perspective, everyone has a different one.
Rob every week: I'll add the image
The video: No image
Me: o.o
Narator: he didn't
I love that Rob was almost certainly running from "it's tough being a man in the hobby..." to something along the lines of, "... so I can't believe how hard it must be for women in the hobby with the other things they need to worry about..." - but everyone jumped down his throat so fast he hasn't had the chance to finish that sentence all these episodes later
For sure. That's the joke :)
I actually love Rob’s idea that rascaltown exists in a baby’s first laugh. Reminds me of discworld.
Being so lame is what makes it so great. I kinda want that to be like the world tagline now. 'Once upon a time, in a baby's first laugh, there was a place called Rascaltown..."
It would also mean that getting there is quite tricky, but possible with enough luck (or creepy stalkery dedication).
Im fighting with depresion right now. Hearing you podcast how u enyoing hobby im many ways help to go back to try enyoing painting and gaming. It hard but it made me smile and have a purpous in a day. Also hearing u all joiking is the Best time in a whole week. Thank you all u made a big impact in the world.
❤❤❤ thank you for listening into our nonsense chatter Marius, and sorry your having a rough time, glad we can do something to help in a positive manner 🫶
Hey Juggz,
I just wanted to say I watch all three of you and have done for years, starting with Peachy on Warhammer TV, to finding out about TheHonestWargamer, to seeing Louise's journey from Warhammer+ to Rouge Hobbies. I genuinely cannot express enough how helpful you lot are to getting me through my weeks, I listen to videos/livestreams whilst at work (don't tell work!) and it gets me through those days. I look forward to next Juggz video each week and it is inspiring to see what three neurodiverse people can achieve. I got diagnosed with Autism when I was 20 and have struggled to adapt to the working world and its nuances and recently found out I likely have ADHD after being picked up for it. It's inspiring seeing what all three of you have built for yourselves, and it gives me a drive to get there myself one day and create a career first myself that I enjoy where I can mould it to my differences. You are all too humble and need to realise you are all entertaining and helping do many people, Rob especially! You may not think you are successful but loads of us tune in live to listen/watch you talk about the hobby, even if you think its old or outdated information many will watch it regardless.
Please do keep it up all of you! You are all national treasures
The Dark Angels updated minis wowed me. I'd been making due with the Blade Guard to get the feel I love for Inner Circle and robed veterans. But the new sternguard minis, the Inner Circle Companions, Azrael, Asmodai, Belial all getting Primaris. I NEED A NEW EZEKIAL. And getting a 40K Lion release was amazing.
But I think some of the Kill Team units lately have been more Wow Factor than the mainline 40K releases of late. I didn't feel anything particularly put off by them, but I didn't feel terribly excited. I got invigorated to play around a little with Combat Patrol, but that wasn't big new model releases.
This is the first of these videos for a while that's been allowed through the IT content filter at work, which is *fascinating* given the rat stuff.
Hopefully not the last time I can enjoy your Juggz on company time!
“What am I doing wrong?” Louise, if you’re pissing off the right people, you’re not doing anything wrong.
this 100%
I’m also reminded of this line from Picard:
“It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness; that is life.”
Sometimes people are just shitty and look for reasons to inflict harm. It’s not about right/wrong logical/illogical.
Reminds me of the quote about how you know you’re going the right direction in video games because the bad guys try and stop you. Same thing works here
I hope Louise saw that Vince Venturella's latest skaven video is featuring some of her paint set to make glowy warpstone for skaven. It was also stahly's favorite set from the three monument released in adepticon, and for good reason
10 times zero is still zero for Rebel Moon is my favourite quote from the episode!
This is the unique content we desire that can only be found by coming on Juggs
Louise: "Spectatin's my favorite way to do anything"
Confirmed Sicko! 😆
I gotta lot of respect for ya Rob, my hobby suffers sometimes bc I need to provide, but it’s what has to be done and it’s worth it
Another 10/10 episode. Best podcast ever. Thanks for all of your work. The podcast brightens my day every time I hear a new episode
😘👍
The seventh day of rest is actually Saturday not Sunday people, Sunday is the first day of the week, minor detail but a valuable one none the less…😊
Louise blaming Amazon for everything is hilarious 😂
Love how every episode can be summarised as 'Rob does his best to reign in two over-sugared painting goblins. Mostly succeeds'...
Fully with Louise on the 'Emperor's dead, his energy comes back to enhance a new era of Marines' idea options for the Imperium, really like it.
I was kinda hoping when Guilliman came back, GW would take the chance to shuffle the deck... get a 'loyalist - more 'hero' faction of Marines' with Guillimann being the true heir to the Emerpor's throne vs the corrupt Lords of Terra who turn out to be the main problem behind a lot of whats wrong with the Imperium, so not having them chaos, just corrupt in the sense of greed and power possibly even going down the older lore path that they have been stopping the Emperor from dying, so he can't be reborn as part of their grasping for power, technically another split within the Imperium, while everything else burns around them.
Happy Birthday Louise! And peachy too I guess.
Juggz is quite possibly my favourite thing on RUclips! I keep it as a little treat to listen to while I hobby.
Favourite 3 releases for 40k in the last 2ish years have been
1. Celestian Sacresant Aveline
2. Cerastus Knight Castigator (I know it's technically 30k, but Imperial Knights didn't get a new mini in 9th, so I'm stealing this one)
3. Inquisitorial Agents
It's kinda weird thinking about it now, 40k is the system I'm most into, but also the system I've been least keen on the new releases (or lack thereof) for lately.
I agree with Peachy about the Coteaz mini being a victim of a too short deadline. My theory is that the eagle was originally part of the sculpt like the original, but then it was decided at the last minute to remove it for use as an ability marker without giving the sculptor enough time to make Coteaz look interesting without it.
Happy birthday, Louise!
It was my birthday a bit more than a week ago too, so I spent all day Saturday playing Gorkamorka with a bunch of old nerds (and my 15-year-old son), which was a blast!
Nerdy birthdays are the best!
So firstly, Happy belated birthday to both Louise and peachy.
Secondly, favorite model in the last 2 years has been the Tyranid norn emissary.
lastly can we get an update to what happened in that massive necromunda game with the genestealer invasion.
Obviously love everything you guys do every week. Always a good laugh.
My top 3 favourite 40k minis are probably all the Lictors with Deathleaper, Lictor and
Neurolictor.
All very similar, I know, but I do love them and I am someone who did not like Lictors at all before. The detail, different styles on the same Lictor concept and tyranid with claws are awesome.
I will say I do love the Inquisitor that Louise mentioned so much too to the point that at the time I wasn't even collecting 40k at the time but I grabbed him because of how awesome he was and just the style going for him and it tells a story just by looking at it especially with stabbing in to the book.
Also with the Farstalker Kinband Kroot that Peach mentioned I was so excited to see new Kroot come out when they did and love their variation. I still need to build and paint them but with new edition for Kill Team I am inspired again.
"What are we doing next week, Dad? " "I have to work" Fuck me I felt that
Thus continues the misadventures Lead Boy, Goblin Girl, and The Mugless Wonder.
The you tube streamer Filmdeg Miniatures does interviews with some of the old developers (Rick, Andi, Jervis) from GW and they talk about some interesting things around GW decisions. And I think that it is in the Necromunda that Rick says something about the creativity for design.
Shit day of work followed by uni (I hate Tuesdays) but I had a smile on my face the whole drive home listening to you guys. Glad you're back!
I really appreciate how much of Juggz is a great mix of "content creator/RUclips" trials and tribulations and processes as well as a healthy dose of "behind the scenes at GW" and insight into GW minis, productions, releases, etc. Keep up the great discussions, ya'll.
Jumping on the kroot train. Absolutely stunning range!
Tau player here. I agree with Rob the new Kroot are awesome. Yes, I feel for the fomo and purchased the Kroot box. I also got the boarding action with Farsight when it came out. New Farsight is awesome.
You guys are hilarious. I love the way you just chat about whatever pops into your mind. So genuine and interesting. I have you guys playing in the background while I potter around. Being a Brit living in California I just love to hear British voices chatting in such a relaxed way. You guys crack me up so much. Thank you!
I discovered warhammer about a year ago, and in that time I definitely noticed that all the cool models seemed to be in the niche games (Horus heresy, necromunda, blood bowl, etc).
Interesting to hear that they are effectively made by a different group within the company.
Robs AoS videos are excellent - insight and value galore
Great episode. I had so many little things I thought I’d comment on, but way too many and not be an essay, so you just get this.
40k miniatures seem to have gone from being created to being manufactured. They are more of the same as they have always been
Happy birthday Louise and Peachy!
Had a nightmare of a weekend and start to the week but Juggz has put a smile back on my face!
Gutted I can't get to Peachcon though! (Boooo, next time!)
I think what Peachy was getting at that's in the specialist games sculpts that's missing from mainline 40k is narrative focus. Because Necromunda is a tightly focused setting they can fill out the details of it with all sorts of specific wierdos that fit the aesthetics of the setting. Whereas a new space marine miniature has to fit in 1000 different chapters operating in 1000 different theatres across the galaxy to have as broad an appeal as possible. The more character they add to a space marine sculpt, the fewer armies it will aesthetically fit in, whereas you can always add wolf pelts or bionic arms or whatever to match your specific chapter.
Louise, please keep doing you and just follow your interests. The variety of topics and insane quality of your vids is what keeps me coming back.
Great episode. Respect to Peachy, balancing home and work is really hard.
When I was contracting my kids want to see me more, so I gave up a lucrative London contract to take a worse paying but local one. Hard for me, invaluable for them.
Happy belated and future birthdays to Suggs and Mr Peach.
Great video again team, cracking entertainment while painting.
Cheers to you all.
Happy Birthday Louise! Love what you do, and by the way, you are a titan in the hobby.
Peach is everyone's best friend. I'm here for it
"The lore people are the people who are the least in the hobby" gave me flashbacks to people who do not collect or paint or play getting mad at me for not being mad about lady custodes
I love how supportive Louise is of Rob. Wholesome.
Suggz drops a Bilbo quote "butter over too much bread" when Charlie is watching Lotr, and it was missed
Sanguinary Guard used to tell a story. The new ones look like generic super soldier with gold armor. You could tell me they’re from crysis and I wouldn’t question it.
40K has been on a downward trend for me since late 9th. It does feel like a lot of the soul is being taken out of the game and minis.
MESBG is where it’s at. Although I’m cautiously optimistic about the new edition.
Pausing the podcast in the middle because y'all were saying how much you appreciate the comments and I have a lot to say right now:
Thank you! Thank you all so so much for what you all do and for this podcast. I felt it when Peach talked about his kid asking when he was going to play with him and then immediately after, Rob taking about struggling to find time for his own hobby and having to pass on a game with his friend. I'm a stay at home parent. I have one kid doing school virtually and a preschooler that I watch all day. My life at the moment is a constant barrage of cooking, cleaning, submitting homework, fixing the house, fixing the car, caring for the three cats, keeping everyone up on their routines, meditating fights between the children. I feel awful sometimes because the preschooler has to ask me to put down chores and play with them because I've been so hyper-focused on not falling behind. I am supposed to be running DND 5e and Fallout 2d20, but we keep having to cancel games. I'm playing Pathfinder 2e for a couple hours every two weeks. I've painted 2 minis this whole year. I have a half finished 500pt 40k game sitting on round 2 in my garage because my friend and I can't squeeze enough time to even play a small game from start to finish. I'm so so sorry for dumping all this in your comments, it might not be the place for it.
Tldr: thank you for doing this podcast. Listening to the three (sometimes four) of you helps me engage in my hobby and sort of be a part of this community even when I can't really make the time to do my hobby
Holy smokes that’s a lot, sounds like you’re doing the best you can for your kids, both educationally, socially and mentally, top parenting right there.
And I totally understand how hard it must be juggling all those things, but yeah sometimes you have to drop a chore to play with the little ‘Uns, and I know it sometimes feels like you should finish the chores first.
When Mrs Peach is at work or busy elsewhere doing graft, and I’m working too, we sometimes need to stick a film on and leave our lad to watch it whilst we work, then it’s a lazy pizza dinner, and some guilty fuelled pudding, and we both feel like terrible parents at the end of the night, but you know what the kid remembers, they got to watch a cool film, had pizza and ice cream and got tickled to death by mummy and daddy before bed……kids are amazing and will always see the fun side of everything. And I can guarantee your kids will be doing the same.
We’re so chuffed you enjoy the podcast and keep going strong, you’re doing great. 😍😍😍
The release of Coteaz brought my deeper thoughts to the forefront of my mind... 40k specific releases have been so lackluster compared to Necromunda, Kill Team and Warhammer.
Also... You are all awesome, and genuinely make my hobby experience so much better. Thank you! 💚🦔
The "Louise videos" are my favorite! I want to see people making videos about the things they're excited about
Maybe people are just mistaking you for the happy tour guide who enjoys their job. And sometimes people are just jealous, I wanna hang out with Peachy and Rob too and talk for hours. Loving the chemistry, and all the podcast.
First off I love this show, and I’m happy to be a Patron. I am a long time fan of Peach and Lousise’s content. I am not a major games/rules person, so I was less aware or Rob’s stuff but now am I a big fan and subscriber of his as well.
So, for what it’s worth, I am super intrigued by the take on 40K. I’m a 25 year plus Warhammer fan. Historically I was more of a 40k fan, but for a number of years I’ve been more of an AoS person. And the way you describe 40K is actually how I feel about AoS more and more lately. I’m less plugged in on 40k these days, so I just don’t have opinions refined enough to be useful. If I haven’t been quite as wowed, it’s also just less what I’m looking for lately.
But for AoS? I can’t help but feel it’s gotten a little more… conservative in its designs, over time? Seraphon, Lumineth, and now Skaven feel in many ways like really well done versions of refreshing an older range. Like, don’t get me wrong, absolutely gorgeous, but a lot of them seem like they could mostly feel not out of place in the Old World. And as nice as they are, they aren’t nearly as conceptually wacky and outside the usual archetypes as Idoneth, or Kharadron, or much of the Sylvaneth range. Similarly, going from the outlandish realm cults of the original Warcry to the cool but much more traditional darkoath feels like a more restrictive design brief. I look at those and think: “Wow, that makes me want to do an old world Kurgan/Norsca army.” Not a band thing, but it’s not what made me fall in love with Age of Sigmar, and that change is part of why I’ve gravitated a bit more towards smaller indi games and historicals. Sorry for the literal essay, been chewing over this subject for a while.
I barely engage with the hobby these days, but I love watching the three of you every week. Wish you all the best, and Rob, I hope you're able to get the venue to your goals. cheers!
I think that the Space Marine releases for Horus Heresy have been great. They are just really perfect space marines. The armour marks, poses, all great. They can be really good - but still very simple.
I agree the 40k hasn't been super exciting, everything has been a blank canvas to convert from, or be easier to paint and put together. I've been putting things together to ride the hobby wave and update things along with the edition and the releases, but most of my hobby purchasing has been new paint and rule books. Everything else has been tweaking and adjusting from the last two editions. The last new model kits I bought was the Inner Circle companions and Belial for my Dark angels.
Happy birthday Louise 🎉🥳
The terminators from Indomitus DID blow my mind. They are great.
As a girl dad I 100% appreciate that when Louise ask what she did wrong the boys immediately said, she did nothing wrong. You didn’t nothing wrong Louise, keep loving what you love, and doing what you love.
If you're sick of yourself Rob, that's a sign it's high time for a decent length holiday (a good two weeks minimum) so you don't burn out and end up resenting things.
RUclips will say you can't do that but screw it. It'll be there when you get back.
The JUGGZ crew are fantastic! I was going through withdrawal last week without my JUGGZ fix! 7 more episodes then JUGGZ is in the top 1% of podcasts!
Happy Birthday Louise and Peach.🎉🎉🎉
Vashtorr was my must-have over the last few years but I’m desperately waiting for DarkMech.
I just started up with the hobby last year and I’m enjoying the inner circle companions… but I’ve yet to be quite as impressed as I was when I saw eltharion
Happy Belated Birthday Louise!!!!
Thank you all for the weekly dose of good vibes
Just want to say, all of your content is excellent, and thank you!
Happy Birthday, Louise !!! Will spot y'all milkshakes some day!
The iceberg lore video was one of my favorites, sorry it got troll comments. I loved it, keep up the great work!
I’m nearly at the end of the podcast run for my drive to work and getting a sad. Thanks for keeping me company on the road!
Edit: Louise, don’t feed the trolls, keep doing what you’re doing.
Not gonna lie - I don't understand why so many people struggle with thumbnails when there is a good 50yrs of movie posters as examples. Why doesn't Juggz have a National Lampoons movie poster with Louise's face on Chevy Chase and Rob & Peachy on the chicks to either side???
oh i can just see a piece of Louises Rascal Town lore art with giant baby squirrel in a nappy sitting awkwardly of a regular sizes momma squirrel and her "meeeep" face as she is squished
"A Hot soft mouth full of teabag"...quote of the day on this episode of Juggz
I enjoy all of your work -- all three of you.
As someone who's rewatching Indigo League with my one year old, we're on episode 15 (i think? Its the one where theyre trapped in a sunk cruise ship) and you can see very obviously regular fish swimming outside the window of the ship.
I agree they play it safe I always felt the move to primaris was a chance to really explore the gene flaws in the chapters. Like full on vampire marines for the blood angels and proper werewolves for the space wolves
I wish changes in the lore actually made big change. It just feels like something happens and then it just goes away as if it never happened.
Happy birthday Peachy and Louise ! 🎉🎂
“You can’t have fun with bad stuff…” Historical wargamers enter the chat
I keep swinging with 40K. Like I’ll see something and be like “that’s cool!” and then I’ll see something that kills my passion. I’m excited to see what new Killteam does, especially with getting rid of the symbols. I pretty much just engage with reading as my hobby these days. One of my highlights of the week is getting to sit and listen to you all talk about whatever.
Fun video as always. Happy birthday Louise
I almost never comment on things, because I find the internet not worth participating in, but this video has moved me to comment. For some perspective, I love your podcast. It's actually the only one I watch as I tend to find a bunch of people chattering a tad mind numbing, so this should say something about the wonderful personalities you all have. And for the record, I found this THROUGH Louise, so yes, you do reach randos out there in the hobby and your lore video was ace. It really spurned the creative ideas and it was very cool to watch. Anyway, this comment will be too long and I'm sure almost no one will read it, but it is on point for the your last discussion.
I got into the GW world with Dark Future... I know weird, and Battle Masters from waaay back. It was extremely hard to get this stuff where I'm from at that time as no stores carried the material and my mom didn't know much about anything nerdy other than what they had at large toy stores, and the local comic store just had comics back in the day. So, I never got into Warhammer proper until about the 2000's and I thought all the things just looked amazing. Then I graduated college got a job for the 10th largest bank on Earth and worked 7 days a week dealing with one crisis after another with them until the subprime market crashed in 2008... and I was done dealing with their BS. For a looong time I didn't have the time to think about or participate with gaming much, went back to school changed careers didn't think about Games Workshop for near 20 years... then I found out Necromunda came back and that's what drew me in. It wasn't 40k, it was Necromunda. Because the sculpts were absolutely amazing. I literally bought every model they produced, because they were so cool (yes I am still building them all.)
But this is all to say, over all the years, even though I've been in and out, from a design standpoint the new 40k models don't wow me. My girlfriend has always enjoyed Fantasy, so she wanted to give Sigmar a whirl and we bought some of those models and they are leagues better in design than the 40k stuff that I've bought more recently. I totally agree with Louse (as per usual), I rather thought the Stormcast were a boring set, and I was dismayed that Skaventide was Skaven vs. Stormcast, since my partner wanted all the new Skaven... I was really pleased when I saw the Stormcast sculpts and genuinely thought they were badass too! So you're all on point with that as far as I'm concerned. 40k does have some stuff that it does very well, terrain and vehicles. Although their vehicle designs are pretty much the same they've always been for years, but that last hoorah with the Mechanicum terrain was incredible. At this point the only thing I look forward to in 40k is terrain. Like Peachy I LOVE the Kill Team sculpts too, that's where the real 40k design energy is as far as I'm concerned and it's sad they will not be making vehicles (well, I have Necromunda for vehicles technically...) Anyway, half the time I buy the Kill Team kits to use in Necromunda! The new Trenchcoat Squats in Kill Team... I mean, that's just an amazing gang in Necromunda waiting to happen!
Sorry for the long post, kudos for reading if you did. Keep up the great work, love the podcast and the other videos you do (Don't want to leave Rob out, been watching your Old World vids while I make my Brets). Anyway, go get some sleep.
❤❤❤ I read it, it was a good read and super interesting to see your journey and perspective, thanks for taking the time to comment, especially considering you wouldn’t normally do so.
Much love Peachy and JUGGZ
@@PeachyTips sometimes I gotta be careful listening to you, because soon enough you'll get me into another game system... Stargrave lol
Happy Birthday Louise!
