    I’m glad you didn’t mention the Djinn Skien - cyber occularis - twin Thanatar death artillery combo, that’s just mean.

      "Mention-not the cybertheugy and such related shenanigans" - I believe that's a direct quote from the bible.

    Since I put up the poll for which should be next, Solar or Mechanicum, and since so many people responded, I felt it only fair to try and look after both sides of the poll. So here's a convoluted episode for you all!

      Yes, my favorite faction! Do you know when Scoria is actually going to come out?

    Anyone got some thoughts on how to convert up a multilaser Thallax? Besides stalking C.S. Goto until he lays a Kinder-Egg full of resin multilasers I mean :)

    Interesting stuff! As a new player of 30k, the most mind boggling thing about the army list books is when the techmarine entry for cortex controller starts talking about bizarre mechanum names, ever considered doing a video for that in particular?

      I think the Mechanicum really just needs a full overview unto itself of each and everything.

    Awesome. I was wondering if mechanicum would be covered. I realize I will need to sell one of my kidneys if I want forgeworld mechanicum, but 40k doesn’t really do much for me since 8year old Warhammer40k (read 8th edition). I just can’t focus on a rule set that the corner of your vehicle can shoot around terrain/cover ...etc etc

      @adamfox1669 6 лет назад +1

      Nate- yeah man, I love forgeworld but it’s just so much dough to buy even a few units& the new 8th edition just ain’t for me. 7 isn’t perfect but I truly think HH would be detrimentally effected should they force an edition change. I’m sure if I was ten years old/ had never played war games before 8th would be an excellent place to start. Personally I got my first taste of commercially produced miniatures rules with Napoleons battles by Avalon Hill in ‘91! & 2nd ed Warhammer40k & Space Hulk in 92ish. But I’ve been making house rules/ homegrown rules since I got a wargaming book by Donald Featherstone as a little kid. (Sorry about rant/ I’m 41 and babble a lot nowadays)

    Ugh, it’s so painful trying to pick a legion to start! I’ve gone through every “getting started” video and still can’t decide between Luna wolves, Iron Hands, Raven Guard and Imperial Fists, doesn’t help that all the primarch models look great.
    Also, would it be better to get a primarch and Fellblade or a Warhound Titan as the army centrepiece?

    • @AE-dk4rl
      @AE-dk4rl 6 лет назад +1

      Primarch and Fellblade is fluffier for a Legion army. Luna Wolves are cool but extremely limited by the timeframe in which they existed.

    • @Mikey__R
      @Mikey__R 6 лет назад

      I got a Warhound kit, as I play Guard in 40k, and I'm interested in either Fists or, now, Mechanicum for 30k, and I can use my titan, once built, for any of these.
      Of course, the same applies to the FW knights as well, for fewer penies.

      that instead of a new season were getting a movie that instead of picking up from where the series left off it will being going off the movie remakes which changed the story an alternate timeline if you will.

    The Arvis lighter, tech priest auxilla, and secutarii could probably have been addressed. Until the grav imploder got nerfed the tech priests were my main infantry, still use them to herd bots cheaply though.

    • @TheOuterCircle
      @TheOuterCircle  6 лет назад +1

      It's a getting started video, I try to keep the list of suggestions really short and go with the most user-friendly units. Big, tough units and cannon fodder for objectives, with some basic HQ stuff is a solid starting place IMO.

    Those Mechanicum tanks are backwards - they'd never climb a trench driving forwards.

      @@t-34mediumtank16 yeah, the Land Raider has always bugged me as well. In fact, when the new backwards Sicaran artillery tanks were released, Mr Cheese and I were talking about converting LRs in the same way, kinda like a big Russ minus the turret.
      Which would pretty much make it an oversized WW1 British Tank like the Mk4.
