I really like the talk show, chatting style of show. Also, I like how it tends to be shorter (10-20 minutes) vs. an hour-plus like other channels. Keep it up!
I really enjoy the talk show format. One of the things that stands out for me about the channel is that you guys don't really pigeonhole yourselves into one type of 40k content. It's not a strictly competitive, painting, or lore channel, it's an amalgamation of everything the hobby has to offer which keeps the videos fresh and interesting with each release. I would however love to hear more about your hobby journeys, maybe something really wacky or cool happened in your last game, or you tried out something new when it comes to painting and modeling, tell us about it! At the end of the day this is a channel where two friends come together to talk about something they love, and we love that!
havent disliked a single topic yet so just keep going with your gut. i will say so many warhammer vids are sooo long these shorter discussions are refreshing. best of luck and keep it up!
I really enjoy the laid back style of this channel. It does very much carry the feeling of chatting with your buds about 40k. As for other things to see. I did enjoy hearing about your tournament experience with the Anvil Siege Force. More stuff like that I think would be cool. Talking about your recent play experience, the lists you used, and how well it worked or didn't.
Thanks Steve! Love the content, my favorite by far is your rundown of your success with a Anvil Siege Force list. It has inspired me to try the detachment myself. I'd love to see more videos highlighting different ways to play and unsung strategies or units that keep the game fresh and fun (not even limited to Space Marines). Keep up the great work!
I love the fact that this channel doesnt solely focus on whatever is hypercompetitive and leaves the larger rest of the game completely by the wayside. You talking about e.g. how to make anvil siege force work and its real upsides is a very welcome change of pace from all the content out there that makes it seem like anything that isn't ironstorm or flamestorm isn't even worth considering from a powerlevel perspective when it comes to codex compliant chapters.
SHOUT OUT TO STEVE. Imperial fists are my favorite. But it was so tricky to make them good. Watching steve play and hearing his advice on the anvil siege force helped me win my first game with imperial fists, against blood angel's too! What a feat.
Good morning Steve! Is there a discord channel I don't know about? That'd be nice to see! I really enjoy the content where you can deep dive about Space Marine strategies, updates, etc. It's so difficult for me to find time to learn it all myself, So it is nice to just be able to listen to stuff while I'm at work. Battle reports could be a cool thing to put in the RUclips membership. The channel still remains as a way for us to discuss warhammer with friends like you said, but a 30 minute talk about your experience about your most recent RTT's would be fun and considered "extra". As for you, what's next for you in 40k? New armies? Next big tournament you're attending? Or Ian too.
Personally Iv been enjoying these micro look at specific parts of the games, whether it’s at specific units like blade guard vets or specific aspects like list building geared towards scoring now that secondaries are changing the way they are. Could you have a video over each faction and each detachment going over the best unit of each? Yes, but I also feel that nearly all channels so that and not a lot look into specific units. Not that you shouldn’t ever look into those units but that blade guard vet video was enjoyable for me to just learn more of a unit. Learn about different ways to use them, their strengths and weaknesses, maybe some hidden uses that people didn’t even think of. Personally 95% of video types you’ve posted so far Iv enjoyed, and while I don’t reply to all of them I do try to but I have been enjoying them and just wanted to say thanks man
We appreciate your support and thanks! I think the Unit Deep dives are actually really beneficial for us to! haha, really breaking down a unit in a new way and finding out almost everything about it has opened my eyes to a few underdogs units that are sorta new favorites.
I really like it when creator's call on their community for aid, let's us all know that it's impossible to go it alone. I do like that this channel is mostly focused on talking about Warhammer (40k specifically) as well as the community around the game. I think you might do well with more round-table segments (whether it's about tournaments or new minis or codexes) with maybe up to 4 people if you can swing the space. Showing off the tournaments you go to or interviewing people in those tournaments could also be good. Or maybe just film a trip to your LGS and talk with people playing Warhammer there. Make it seem like a less daunting climb for people wanting to get into the game/hobby.
I loved the video on your Imperial Fists Anvil army; the list, how it played and experiences playing it. A deep dive into each space marine detachment like that would be fun. Or a dive into some strategies and tactics of playing marine units/combos. Also more Creed singing.
Whatever you decide to do with the rest of the channel as long as the authenticity and community stays at the forefront, I will continue to watch, like and share. Keep up the great work! You inspired me to build Imperial Fists as my first Space Marine army and I couldn't be happier. Thank you for being you.
There's three main components of 40k: lore, painting, and the table. We love the banter between y'all when talking about what's happening on the table, so maybe that opens up a meta watch video talking about what happened over the weekend in tourneys and then some battle reports as either tournament prep or goofing around with more out of the box builds.
The thing that I love the most about this channel is that watching you (Steve) and Ian talking is like watching the conversations that I have with my 40K friends! I’d love to see some videos of you two theory crafting/discussing list building based on fun specific units, themes, or strategies. Like, you want to have X unit be the cornerstone of your list, how do you build around that? Id love listening to you two discuss that kind of thing.
Wow, thanks! I love this Idea! maybe even taking the underdog units and somehow crafting a list that might make it competitive and fun. and then playing it!
I enjoy the talk show vibe of the show and keeping it fun. Content Id like to see: Recaps of tournaments, unit spotlights, stratagem deep dives, shorter battle reports (under 1 hour), story time (I played a game recently and learned this lesson or really utilized this technique/strategy). Definitely would be cool to get interviews with some top tournament players as well! Maybe lay out a situation in a game and throw it to the audience and then discuss the results next episode. (If x units were in this position what would you do?) maybe there isn’t a “right or wrong” but definitely a good discussion. Maybe even copy the situation from a tournament and then talk about how it resolved at the tournament!
Really enjoyed the tactics/builds chat, as a returner to the world of 40K painting I’ve been interested in getting back into the game too and your chats are super clear and your understanding shines through
I love this channel, it is not very serious or childish like others on RUclips, ralves broadcasts your own games that I enjoy when you play on other channels
My favourite video is "how to win at 40K". This is actually a video about how to lose at 40K, how not to care if you win or lose, and how to keep the game fun. I watch a lot of 40K content, but Hyperspace Hobbies is my sanity check so that the game stays fun for me. I like to play the kind of lists that Steve talks about: balanced, lore appropriate, perhaps experimental, as I try new units to see what they can do. It's refreshing to watch a channel that isn't about chasing the meta. I love the channel the way it is. I guess I would like to see some strategy videos: how do you go into a horde of Tyranids, or a bunch of Imperial knights. As a space marine player, I am often stumped by skew lists.
I like hearing steve talk about space soldiers. I think videos deep diving into specific stratagems would be cool to watch, i liked the discussion you guys had about Rapid Ingress and its multitude of uses.
I’ve honestly not has a video I haven’t enjoyed, I enjoy the competitive non-competiveness of the channel! It’s refreshing for two players who are serious about the game in such a casual manner it’s almost hard to put in to words haha. Only thing I could want is more/longer videos for purely selfish reasons of getting to “hangout” with you guys more!
Love you guys. Recently, I've not had the time to watch long videos and in general I'd like to hear experience/breakdowns of matches or memorable stories
I enjoy the banter style you guys are currently doing. As far as member content, I'd suggest early access to videos, and maybe some videos that show models moving in the table. Showing deployments, how to set up a charge, how to move and stay within cover, etc. Play on Tabletop scratches my AP itch, but covering some ideas with examples on the table would be welcome
I really enjoy the list building talk and strategies. A lot of other content is playing and rules. I like that strats you come up with. Everyone else puts strategies behind a paywall. I think not doing that can make you stand out.
Your codex reviews are great. You pick things out that have a different take on combos and uses for units that seems different from the meta but seem fun and effective. That non-meta approach really helps people to think more broadly about their armies and the possibilities. And there is great vibe between you guys, keep it going!
Ugh, loving this new morning fix you guys have for me! Will add more once I finish the episode! Alrighty then! So on to comments regarding the episode and questions posed! 1) We certainly miss Ian being here, but great co-hosts you had today they really helped bring the episode home! 2) Redemptor X Gladiator love is no joke and I ship them hard lol 3) Thrilled the channel is growing and I really do hope you and this community can grow and get to 10K before Christmas, you and Ian truly deserve faaar more viewership for the work you are doing. 4) Absolutely adore the content, it is clearly coming from a place of love for the hobby, the lore, the game, and the experience of friendship with those you play with and the community engagement! That said, I can't say in particular what I would want to be the subscriber content, but I can say whatever it is I'll enjoy it greatly no matter what. A bit of advice; whatever it is, please try to make it something you enjoy as well it really comes through when content creators enjoy the content they are making (which comes through greatly with the videos you are making now) and, at least for me, make it all the more enjoyable. 5) I thoroughly enjoy the videos where you talk about the meta, but also the "off the beaten path" ways to play. I really enjoyed your discussion about your, I believe, your Imperial Fist list about 3 weeks ago. You took a detachment considered to be lower tier and absolutely built a list to maximize on it and it was cool hearing about, cool hearing your thoughts behind why you built it and how you ran it to such success. As an aside, I believe it was the same list that you ran in the Play On game against Tak's White Scars and I have to say that video has been far and away one of my favorite of all time. Again, was cool to see what is probably considered an unconventional list played by someone trying to do something cool for the sake of cool and showing what the non-Meta picks can be viable and competitive. 6) I do want to say that I love the conversational talk-show style you two have cultivated in how you approach your topics it makes it very easy to get into, follow, and not feel lost especially when you talk about factions I'm unfamiliar with or rules that I haven't had the chance to look into yet so that helps a lot! Thanks for the read if you made it this far! Keep up the good work and I can't wait for the next episode and know Steve, even if Ian wasn't there today; we are all here with you! If I was in the area I'd certainly try to hang but maybe in the future we'll meet at a con or something and I can finally get to say hi! lol Have a good one folks!
Continue to enjoy making content. Check. Integrity is important, Its one of the things we talked about when starting this channel, and its even better that it is showing through with our content. Off meta and how to crush with the underdog units I hear you. Appreciate the time it takes to write this kind of comment, Thanks!
I think you guys are doing great at making the channel a peaceful, fun place to talk about 40k. I do find myself feeling a limitation in that you guys have the things you like in things like, what armies you play n stuff, and the truth is this game is *massive*. Maybe introduce guests who can talk with you on expansive topics beyond y'alls particular corner of the hobby? I personally also enjoy longer-form videos, so I'd love this style just stretched to maybe around 30 minutes maybe. You guys are great though, and I'm a very happy subscriber!:)
I love the talk show idea of (pick army) and a discussion about their TT flavor, interesting combos and for some what does a range refresh really require. We have a lot of lore channels but I’d love to see faction discussion focused on the TT perspective without it going full hyper competitive only play Gladius.
You rarely make a video that I wouldnt be interested in. I think whatever compass you have that is guiding you towards making videos on one topic or another seems to be calibrated well, at least as far as I'm concerned. I'd say keep doing what you're doing. One thing that I enjoy is the smattering of space marine content. I think so few channels treat space marines as anything other than a "beginner" army, so its refreshing to see some more advanced space marine content that really delves into the sorts of things that veteran players are doing to get the most out of the army. Not saying by any means that is all I'd want the channel to be, but every once in a while if I see a HH video about space marines; I am really excited because I know its going to be more than just a surface level discussion.
As hard Black Templar player i am here for some specific chapter vid's but regardless more space marines vid's are + for me always :D Our little community in Serbia supports you and watch on daily bases and keep up with good work you are helping us a lot :) 💪
Interviews with friends or guests with a variety of perspectives on both gameplay and hobby aspects of the game would be cool. Thoughts about upcoming releases maybe too?
I love the discussions but as a newer player it would be cool to see some battle reports from you guys to watch some tactics and units in practice. Even if that's not in the cards it's cool to see you guys get more viewers and doing more videos.
Learning Warhammer is why I follow most channels on YT. I usually end up sticking around for the personalities. Y'all have great chemistry I'd love to see you do some deep dives on Tactics and Strategies for Space Marines. Many other channels do overall education but don't get in specific on armies they are passionate about. I'd love to get some of your favorite strategies for going first, going second, primary & secondary play and the units you like to employ those strats from the perspective of a faction enthusiast.
The talk show aspect is really good! Would love to see maybe viewers list reviews and unit break down etc or maybe what you think of lists doing well in the competitbe scene at GT's etc
Probably my Favorite Video from this channel was hearing about your After Action Review of the Tournament where you surprised alot of people with your imperial fists and explaining how you were able to use a detachment differently. I am a returning player and I haven't played since they added Command Points back in 8th(?) and with all the new rules and models It helps to learn new strategies. I think I have a decent grasp on how to build and play a Space Marine setup but Id love some help with other armies too.
Hey Guys! I have been enjoying the content you have been putting out. The conversation and discussion aspect is spot on, and is working great! I really enjoy how responsive you guys have been to the RUclips comments section. Clearly you guys read it, so hopefully my feedback here is helpful! My favorite content so far has been the list building series. It has been really interesting to hear your takes on what goes into a list and why. I also really enjoyed the talk about the Gravis/Anvil Siegeforce list and how it did at the tournament. I think that is a concept you guys could build on! Battle reports are nice, but there are so many different channels that do those. It would be interesting instead to get "Post Game" breakdown discussions about what works with interesting or unique lists you guys have used either casually or competitively. What went right, what didn't work out the way you thought when building, what situations were tough to deal with, and what accidentally worked out better than expected. It would be nice to hear what you would do differently as well with the benefit of hindsight. You guys also clearly have large communities to tap into. Third seat guests every once in a while could be fun to see! Thanks for the content guys!
Personally I find list discussions very interesting because it is almost always a great start point for theory crafting ESPECIALLY THE FLUFFY LISTS I absolutely loved the full gravis imperial fist list. However I really really enjoyed hearing the reactions to balance changes and so in that spirit i would love to see you each bring 5 units that are your favorites, in need of help, your least favorites etc. this stuff could transition into unit deep dives and such I think. keep up the amazing work I have loved the vibes of every video, so Im excited for anything really
I really liked the discussions on list building, plus experiences of your tournament runs, in your chat show format. Given your membership might be quite small to start with, there might be a space for list critiquing and how you might play into it/expect it to play? Very personable way of engaging and it not being general content that’s behind a paywall?
Hey Steve! I like this channel, you guys have found an untapped market. Lots of battle report and lore channels already. I keep coming back, because you and Ian always look at the game from a different perspective than myself and you both are a wealth of information, knowledge and experience. For example, the "how to use baldegaurd" video, or your thoughts on Anvil Siege Force. These are things I would not have otherwise considered trying out. Your conversations always flow nicely, and are very educational. Also, video length is perfect! Its not that I don't mind a 1.5 hour Luetin lore video, but I don't always have that kind of time. 20 minutes or less *insert Pacha just right meme* However, what I really need to see is your full collection of Space Marines! A suggestion for future content: community hobby hangouts/paint night kind of thing. Also, "reviews" of games you and your group play, clips of funny or game deciding moments. Not necessarily full games, just small clips. Thanks for making great content!
@@hyperspacehobbies I can only guess how much Steve has. I have watched a lot of PlayOn Tabletop. From what I have seen him play: Imperial Fists, Blood Angels, Astral Claws, Space Wolves? Ultramarines -Featuring Steveus Calsteve and Salamanders. But I know he has more haha
I like the “how to use X” series of videos. Comparison videos would be cool, like “bladeguard Vs Company heroes”. Or maybe a series with a unique name on how to make use of cool models that don’t see much use, like reivers or weaker characters
Hi guys, I think you're on a good way to the 5 digits. For what I'd like to see is video more often and discussion about character/units. The BGV one is one of my favorite beside you talking about taking anvil first. More unit/army list focus. Give us army list you have not did try yet or something going absurd on outrider for example or any armies you play. It means yes Steve you could start playing chaos to give us better idea. Not talk about meta-list but army list that could go that way. A new video about the new demon sucessful list(because they were already doing great) or how to deal with this kind of army. More tactics or plan in link with Pariah. A cheap membership that could let you record more video could be nice too. Have a nice day everyone !
I’d like a meta watch kind of discussion. I really do like the chat approach you guys have taken and the back and forth. Maybe some vids for specific armies?
Since you started playing at Play On Tabletop Steve I've always rooted for you. Loved seeing you get better over the year and to be frank, get mad when you do something I don't agree with lol. But you've always reminded me of myself and my journey in 40K. All I really want to see is you improving. If you can improve then I can improve. I also subscribe to your channel because I enjoy the breakdowns on how to play the game. I don't really care so much for lore. I want to hear your take on what the meta is and both of your opinions about it.
I really enjoy how you guys help me understand parts of the game I struggle with I’m new to Warhammer came into because of Playon in 10th and I love learning everything from list building and tips to help improve my game or just to have more fun. Also Space wolves I’d love to hear some stuff about the Wolf of Fenris but that’s super biased😂
OMG the new detachment rules they got buffed them up so much! Totally should do a video on the Sons of Fenris. also....when Is Leman Russ coming back from the warp?
It helped me a lot when you talked about the new Dark Angels miniatures and the codex changes, but from the perspective that it can be done with what there is, it helped me a lot. I really enjoyed the games in which I have seen you participate, but it would be great to be able to see your game proposal live and it would also help a lot to understand how to adapt the changes in the codex
I’d like for there to be more content around different types of lists and identifying where some lists are weak and what would needed to be changed to fix them. As someone relatively new to the hobby I hear all the time to build what you want, but while I want my list to feel like my own I also don’t want to go into games and have this big glaring fault in what I’ve built and not know it
It wouldn’t be me if I didn’t say the Thunderhawk was my favorite part. That being said, I love how this channel has evolved. I love the talk show vibe. I love the random silliness. I can only envision growth. I would love to see it become a “jack of all trades”. Building/bashing videos. Battle reports/live streams. Guest interviews(I know you guys know people). Just dabble in something different occasionally. Kinda like how you’re doing it, just more. Also, it might be just me, but I would love to hear your opinions/ideas/thoughts on just about anything, it just 40K. You guys are the best.
I’d say I’ve really enjoyed the parts of the videos that explain how score points. How to list build for the secondaries as well as balancing against the meta. It gives me a bit of an idea of what to aim for and what to watch out for with my opponent.
Things i would love to see, Interview other content creators and have the same candid conversations that you two have, in an unscripted way. Take the Show on the Road, Space Marine Steve coming to my town playing on my board against me and my buddies with some sort of edited Video montage of the good times, no need to stream the games or do a play on table type thing just take some video or pictures and make memories with new players from all over. I love it when Steve thinks outside the box and plays neat combos, the Guilliman double Oath of Moment in 1st company detachment was such a cool idea, had those eradicators not died, or actually hurt anything, my brother!! . your the only one out there making these fun builds and playing them for the world to see. The Anvil Siege force build, also awesome. What other fun lists have you made that you think would be neat but not played? Your video about just having fun and enjoying the game win or lose, this is something more people need to hear and talk about. Have some Focused Faction Talk segments where you go into what you think the factions have that is cool and what each could use. Play some Narrative Games and then Narrate over them, show people there are other ways to play that are not standard mission/secondaries..Collaborate with Terrain Makers on RUclips there are tons of them that would love to show off their amazing Terrain Pieces. Is there a favorite part of the lore that you want to talk about, can you stomach majorkill as a guest, can you get on a call with the sandman of Terra and talk about what you you think is going to happen, Can you setup a Video with Lysander and Koda show off your armies and talk about the Game on their basically Lore Channel? Show case some of the amazing Painters, and Minis, connect your audience to some of these folks, talk about the Golden Demon, ask for Kit-Bash Pictures and pick the ones you like, offer up the chance for us to build your lists and you give us a battle report on how they did. Do a Video on Space Marine Chapters individually lots of videos out there focus on what is good and what is Meta, but i am sure that there is allot of flavor out there that we are not seeing because its not competitive?
Sustains: 1. The cult of personality being built by your nicknames is one of the best slogans you have for grabbing attention and eyes balls. For example “Space Marine Steve” that tells the whole audience right there what you’re about and how you play. Which is like a chad. “My good friend Ian” say’s what Ian is all about. He’s a warm, love able guy who isn’t just a co-host with Steve. But is also becoming OUR good friend as well. Which helps to create an actual connection with the community as opposed to us just feeling like an audience. 2. You both do exceptionally well in your deep dive of specific units or vehicles (see land raider redeemer for example) and considering how you’re channel is “vibes” wise. As being somewhat newer player friendly I feel this is a massive pro for this channel. Continue to deep dive into units and vehicles to teach the newer members of 40K how to play and what to buy. 40K is a very overwhelming game at first glance, and with prices rising we want to make sure those “hard learned lessons” aren’t being learned at the expense of someone’s wallets. Or at least reduced in this case. 3. Your “networking” with other channels like Play On TableTop for example. I have specifically subscribed to that channel because I saw a video with the two of you in it. The more places you are, the more you’ll be seen, the more you get seen, the more people come to the channel. And why wouldn’t we you guys rock!😉 Improves: 1 Try to make your videos “stick to the script” as much as possible as sometimes it does seem to wander or “get lost in the weeds.” 2. I know Steve is a teacher (which takes a lot of time and dedication) and I’m sure Ian is employed as well, but if possible try to make more videos. You guys are a unique and fun channel that I believe wouldn’t “dry out” if we saw twice a week. 3. This one kinda goes with my second point. Try and get some guests. I know “three’s a crowd” but within the 40K community there are some GREAT personalities out there. Of which I believe many would provide unique insight’s into your instructional videos as well as entertainment value. Closing: These are of course my opinions and can be disregarded as you please. I only like to do my part to help you guys. Even if you change absolutely nothing about the channel it’s still an A level channel in my book. I really enjoy your work gentlemen and as always GREAT VIDEO!
First of all thanks! Its great to get some tips on how to improve and we are defiantly taking notes, sometimes we are to close to it to see the bigger picture, and this kind of stuff opens our eyes a little. I really appreciate it. Cheers!
@@hyperspacehobbies Steven Box, Michael Costello (both from Vanguard Tactics), Tycho, Nick (from play on table top) and lastly I think it would be cool if you could do a “lesser known” member of the RUclips 40K community. Think 40K dirt bags or the Australian gentleman who’s channel is something like “blog for the blood god” would be pretty cool. You’d be getting some “big names” to grab eyeballs (obvi) but then also sprinkling in some “little guys” which helps them grow and maybe even YOU GROW (😉) in ways you wouldn’t imagine. Plus you’d be helping people expand their channels (hopefully) which would make’s people grateful to you. Which in turn helps expand your influence, credibility, and “voice” in the 40K sphere. Those are just my personal suggestions for you gentlemen, think 48 laws of power for 40K 😂. Have a good day you guys!
I'm just a regular dude so there are many like me. Why did I start playing 40K? 3 Reasons, the models, the strategy and the world of 40k. So here are a few things I would love to see. Go talk to some of the painting gods out there. I love tips and tricks on strategy. Cover tournaments. Game play analisys. Meta talk. The all mighty "tier lists", there are so many you can make. Can you make one about leagues? I love the idea of a league but are there things you can do to make the league better? Also get a cutout of "Number Six", Tricia Elfer :)
I just started playing and still building my first army. I appreciate the information and would like build strategies being so new and of course had to go with Ultramarines.
I'd love to hear about your experiences in different matchups. What were your takeaways playing Space Marines Gladius against Chaos Knights for example.
Come on ian! Family is temporary, tiny space men are forever! My only feedback is that, as someone in their early 30's, Arena Padme was the source of my awakening rather than Jabba's Palace Leia.
A fair argument... I think our Wifes/GF's might not appreciate if we continually purchase Life sized cut outs of sexy space ladies... but your right! who are they to boss us around!?*frantically starts typing into amazon*
Maybe bring in a “special guest” from either a memorable match from Play On or any of the tournaments you both play at: unusual lists or creators of “how did they do that?!” in-game moments. Cheers!
What i find different from you guys is a bit more of the "ground level" stuff of 40k. You are both great personalities but also good players who make the most of your collections. If I want the Sigma tier pro advice i would go to AOW or Vanguard Tactics, and there is a place for that. From you I like to hear more about some unsung space marine/ daemon units that can do real work on the table if you pilot them well. Might not be the very best but chances are that's what a lot of us have!
Ya! not everyone is rushing out to buy 18 Mega Nobs...oh wait they have already been Nerfed, F*#$! the meta evolves so fast that if you stay on top of it you will burn out I find.
The more space marines and general rules for newer players the better! Space marine list building, their stronger units, forgiving list builds for new players. Members content, should be different offering so you don’t get accused of putting content behind a pay wall. Although, I do enjoy early access. I like to listen to stuff like rate my lists, meta, getting guests on who play other factions well…. All good stuff, keep it coming.
Space marine Steve. What you would do to fix each detachments in Space Marine Codex and Chaos Space marine Codex. What would you fix in the main rule book. Do you think that 40K would get bigger if they did the 40K series correctly.
We have been talking about this kind of thing, its in our minds for sure, And if we offer anything that people want to pay for we need it to be quality stuff. Might be coming down the line.
Hey @spacemarinesteve6057, love the content - keep on going! My 2 cents: 1. alway great wenn you guys talk about (space marine) units or detachment that are not super meta and how you try to make them work, like the anvil siege force. 2. Me (and probably a lot of the audience) are no great tournament goers (yet), so always great to hear something from your tournament games, what went well what did not ect. Cheers!
I enjoy the talk show feel, which is different from a lot of 40k content. Don’t change that and try to get into bat reps, that’s not your niche IMO. I also enjoy the shorter episodes. 15-20 minutes is a nice length and can be watched in between life, unlike 2-3 hours of some videos. I’ve really enjoyed some of the unit discussions, the RTT recap episode, and many others.
A lot of other channels will do quick list reviews, and it inevitably turns into 30 seconds of “quick, spend $250 and replace X unit with Y unit and B unit with C unit.” I would love a more in depth breakdown, that looks at a sample list (submitted by future channel members?) and talks about what the list seems to be trying to do, what its weaknesses are in a broader sense, and what different units could plug those gaps. Especially for folks who might have limited collections or budgets, just telling people to blow a ton of money and hobby time on something specific is so much less helpful than “hey, this SM list is going to struggle to score secondaries. Maybe replace X unit with scouts or inceptors or jump pack intercessors as ways to score those”
I Had an Idea for a Format. I'd call it: "Because i want them" and its about unpopular Units that you (or a guest) really Likes and want's to make Work in a list
I think if you did break downs before and after a tournament. Like why are you choosing certain units and what you hope to plan to do with it. Aka win it all or just a fun list.
Was is odd is that I cant find a dedicated SM channel. And Ian knows Daemons. So - how about faction focuses about SM amd Daemons? Invite some guests to have round tables, do some hobby videos about kit bashing and painting, narrative campaigns and so on. :)
Because you consider yourself a tack show and a talked show it Usually has a Live audience. Maybe you should set 1 program for some interaction with members on discord with a set topic and you do it live.
Hi love your videos ❤ KitbashCarnage hear at the age of 31 iv recently got back into the warhammer/kitbashing community agen after taking 15year brake to pay bills and so on . I have taken the leap head on and started a youtube channel along with Instagram, Facebook and Tiktok. It's hard with this algorithm thing is somthing to get used to along with editing and so on but my love and the flame for my lost passion has been reignited more then ever and dont plan on stopping soon . Along with having lots of content plans and already in the pipeline and also a Revamp to all social media with new header picture and profile picture from a digital contractor I sorced I hope to just gain more traction to the community iv came back to 🔥 Regards KitbashCarnage
Really enjoyed the tactics/builds chat, as a returner to the world of 40K painting I’ve been interested in getting back into the game too and your chats are super clear and your understanding shines through
I love the talk show aspect of the channel. It’s something that makes 40K feel more fun and more like a community.
Awesome. Thank you.
I really like the talk show, chatting style of show. Also, I like how it tends to be shorter (10-20 minutes) vs. an hour-plus like other channels. Keep it up!
I really enjoy the talk show format. One of the things that stands out for me about the channel is that you guys don't really pigeonhole yourselves into one type of 40k content. It's not a strictly competitive, painting, or lore channel, it's an amalgamation of everything the hobby has to offer which keeps the videos fresh and interesting with each release. I would however love to hear more about your hobby journeys, maybe something really wacky or cool happened in your last game, or you tried out something new when it comes to painting and modeling, tell us about it! At the end of the day this is a channel where two friends come together to talk about something they love, and we love that!
havent disliked a single topic yet so just keep going with your gut. i will say so many warhammer vids are sooo long these shorter discussions are refreshing. best of luck and keep it up!
Cheers! and thanks.
I really enjoy the laid back style of this channel. It does very much carry the feeling of chatting with your buds about 40k. As for other things to see. I did enjoy hearing about your tournament experience with the Anvil Siege Force. More stuff like that I think would be cool. Talking about your recent play experience, the lists you used, and how well it worked or didn't.
Thanks Steve! Love the content, my favorite by far is your rundown of your success with a Anvil Siege Force list. It has inspired me to try the detachment myself. I'd love to see more videos highlighting different ways to play and unsung strategies or units that keep the game fresh and fun (not even limited to Space Marines). Keep up the great work!
I just want to second this!
I love the fact that this channel doesnt solely focus on whatever is hypercompetitive and leaves the larger rest of the game completely by the wayside.
You talking about e.g. how to make anvil siege force work and its real upsides is a very welcome change of pace from all the content out there that makes it seem like anything that isn't ironstorm or flamestorm isn't even worth considering from a powerlevel perspective when it comes to codex compliant chapters.
SHOUT OUT TO STEVE.
Imperial fists are my favorite. But it was so tricky to make them good. Watching steve play and hearing his advice on the anvil siege force helped me win my first game with imperial fists, against blood angel's too! What a feat.
I love how you guys talk back and forth over a tactic or how to build a list.
I'd love to see more 40k theory of play stuff
Good morning Steve! Is there a discord channel I don't know about? That'd be nice to see!
I really enjoy the content where you can deep dive about Space Marine strategies, updates, etc. It's so difficult for me to find time to learn it all myself, So it is nice to just be able to listen to stuff while I'm at work.
Battle reports could be a cool thing to put in the RUclips membership. The channel still remains as a way for us to discuss warhammer with friends like you said, but a 30 minute talk about your experience about your most recent RTT's would be fun and considered "extra".
As for you, what's next for you in 40k? New armies? Next big tournament you're attending? Or Ian too.
Thanks this is all great stuff. I like the "whats next for you in40k" kind of thing. how to grow your army in a way that isn't overwhelming.
Personally Iv been enjoying these micro look at specific parts of the games, whether it’s at specific units like blade guard vets or specific aspects like list building geared towards scoring now that secondaries are changing the way they are.
Could you have a video over each faction and each detachment going over the best unit of each? Yes, but I also feel that nearly all channels so that and not a lot look into specific units. Not that you shouldn’t ever look into those units but that blade guard vet video was enjoyable for me to just learn more of a unit. Learn about different ways to use them, their strengths and weaknesses, maybe some hidden uses that people didn’t even think of.
Personally 95% of video types you’ve posted so far Iv enjoyed, and while I don’t reply to all of them I do try to but I have been enjoying them and just wanted to say thanks man
We appreciate your support and thanks! I think the Unit Deep dives are actually really beneficial for us to! haha, really breaking down a unit in a new way and finding out almost everything about it has opened my eyes to a few underdogs units that are sorta new favorites.
I don't want the show to change, I love just hear you guys chat. FYI there is a huge void in the podcast space for a show like this in 40k.
I really like it when creator's call on their community for aid, let's us all know that it's impossible to go it alone.
I do like that this channel is mostly focused on talking about Warhammer (40k specifically) as well as the community around the game. I think you might do well with more round-table segments (whether it's about tournaments or new minis or codexes) with maybe up to 4 people if you can swing the space.
Showing off the tournaments you go to or interviewing people in those tournaments could also be good. Or maybe just film a trip to your LGS and talk with people playing Warhammer there. Make it seem like a less daunting climb for people wanting to get into the game/hobby.
Oh on the spot reporting style is kind of a cool idea.
I loved the video on your Imperial Fists Anvil army; the list, how it played and experiences playing it.
A deep dive into each space marine detachment like that would be fun. Or a dive into some strategies and tactics of playing marine units/combos.
Also more Creed singing.
I love the jump pack with the EAT jumping around flinging rockets at bug faces.
Whatever you decide to do with the rest of the channel as long as the authenticity and community stays at the forefront, I will continue to watch, like and share. Keep up the great work! You inspired me to build Imperial Fists as my first Space Marine army and I couldn't be happier. Thank you for being you.
There's three main components of 40k: lore, painting, and the table. We love the banter between y'all when talking about what's happening on the table, so maybe that opens up a meta watch video talking about what happened over the weekend in tourneys and then some battle reports as either tournament prep or goofing around with more out of the box builds.
Tournament Recap is a solid idea for sure.
The thing that I love the most about this channel is that watching you (Steve) and Ian talking is like watching the conversations that I have with my 40K friends! I’d love to see some videos of you two theory crafting/discussing list building based on fun specific units, themes, or strategies. Like, you want to have X unit be the cornerstone of your list, how do you build around that? Id love listening to you two discuss that kind of thing.
Might be a good way to have guests on the show to talk about factions that you and Ian don’t play?
Wow, thanks! I love this Idea! maybe even taking the underdog units and somehow crafting a list that might make it competitive and fun. and then playing it!
Love the talk show! Keep doing what you guys are doing 🔥🔥🔥
I enjoy the talk show vibe of the show and keeping it fun.
Content Id like to see:
Recaps of tournaments, unit spotlights, stratagem deep dives, shorter battle reports (under 1 hour), story time (I played a game recently and learned this lesson or really utilized this technique/strategy).
Definitely would be cool to get interviews with some top tournament players as well!
Maybe lay out a situation in a game and throw it to the audience and then discuss the results next episode.
(If x units were in this position what would you do?) maybe there isn’t a “right or wrong” but definitely a good discussion. Maybe even copy the situation from a tournament and then talk about how it resolved at the tournament!
Really enjoyed the tactics/builds chat, as a returner to the world of 40K painting I’ve been interested in getting back into the game too and your chats are super clear and your understanding shines through
I love this channel, it is not very serious or childish like others on RUclips, ralves broadcasts your own games that I enjoy when you play on other channels
Really digging yalls stuff, thank you!
My favourite video is "how to win at 40K". This is actually a video about how to lose at 40K, how not to care if you win or lose, and how to keep the game fun. I watch a lot of 40K content, but Hyperspace Hobbies is my sanity check so that the game stays fun for me. I like to play the kind of lists that Steve talks about: balanced, lore appropriate, perhaps experimental, as I try new units to see what they can do. It's refreshing to watch a channel that isn't about chasing the meta.
I love the channel the way it is. I guess I would like to see some strategy videos: how do you go into a horde of Tyranids, or a bunch of Imperial knights. As a space marine player, I am often stumped by skew lists.
Ahhh ya like how to deal with the big bad wolf of the meta. or even your local gaming store. love it.
Every once in a while I'd like to see discussion on the bad/wonky rules in 40k, and maybe how you'd go about fixing them.
I like hearing steve talk about space soldiers. I think videos deep diving into specific stratagems would be cool to watch, i liked the discussion you guys had about Rapid Ingress and its multitude of uses.
I’ll be honest Steve , you could make anything . For it’s your personality an dynamic with Ian that makes me come back
AWESOME!
I’ve honestly not has a video I haven’t enjoyed, I enjoy the competitive non-competiveness of the channel! It’s refreshing for two players who are serious about the game in such a casual manner it’s almost hard to put in to words haha. Only thing I could want is more/longer videos for purely selfish reasons of getting to “hangout” with you guys more!
We to love the "hangout" vibe. Some people take this game to seriously, its little plastic solders that you play with friends.
Love you guys. Recently, I've not had the time to watch long videos and in general I'd like to hear experience/breakdowns of matches or memorable stories
I enjoy the banter style you guys are currently doing. As far as member content, I'd suggest early access to videos, and maybe some videos that show models moving in the table. Showing deployments, how to set up a charge, how to move and stay within cover, etc. Play on Tabletop scratches my AP itch, but covering some ideas with examples on the table would be welcome
Noted! more hand on a visual representations, I am a visual learner and sometimes just seeing it once makes all the difference.
I really enjoy hearing about yall's experiences with unusual list builds that have worked. Your short format is perfect for this.
I really enjoy the list building talk and strategies. A lot of other content is playing and rules. I like that strats you come up with. Everyone else puts strategies behind a paywall. I think not doing that can make you stand out.
Your codex reviews are great. You pick things out that have a different take on combos and uses for units that seems different from the meta but seem fun and effective. That non-meta approach really helps people to think more broadly about their armies and the possibilities. And there is great vibe between you guys, keep it going!
You gotta go off meta to break the meta haha. love it.
Ugh, loving this new morning fix you guys have for me! Will add more once I finish the episode!
Alrighty then! So on to comments regarding the episode and questions posed!
1) We certainly miss Ian being here, but great co-hosts you had today they really helped bring the episode home!
2) Redemptor X Gladiator love is no joke and I ship them hard lol
3) Thrilled the channel is growing and I really do hope you and this community can grow and get to 10K before Christmas, you and Ian truly deserve faaar more viewership for the work you are doing.
4) Absolutely adore the content, it is clearly coming from a place of love for the hobby, the lore, the game, and the experience of friendship with those you play with and the community engagement! That said, I can't say in particular what I would want to be the subscriber content, but I can say whatever it is I'll enjoy it greatly no matter what. A bit of advice; whatever it is, please try to make it something you enjoy as well it really comes through when content creators enjoy the content they are making (which comes through greatly with the videos you are making now) and, at least for me, make it all the more enjoyable.
5) I thoroughly enjoy the videos where you talk about the meta, but also the "off the beaten path" ways to play. I really enjoyed your discussion about your, I believe, your Imperial Fist list about 3 weeks ago. You took a detachment considered to be lower tier and absolutely built a list to maximize on it and it was cool hearing about, cool hearing your thoughts behind why you built it and how you ran it to such success. As an aside, I believe it was the same list that you ran in the Play On game against Tak's White Scars and I have to say that video has been far and away one of my favorite of all time. Again, was cool to see what is probably considered an unconventional list played by someone trying to do something cool for the sake of cool and showing what the non-Meta picks can be viable and competitive.
6) I do want to say that I love the conversational talk-show style you two have cultivated in how you approach your topics it makes it very easy to get into, follow, and not feel lost especially when you talk about factions I'm unfamiliar with or rules that I haven't had the chance to look into yet so that helps a lot!
Thanks for the read if you made it this far! Keep up the good work and I can't wait for the next episode and know Steve, even if Ian wasn't there today; we are all here with you! If I was in the area I'd certainly try to hang but maybe in the future we'll meet at a con or something and I can finally get to say hi! lol Have a good one folks!
Continue to enjoy making content. Check. Integrity is important, Its one of the things we talked about when starting this channel, and its even better that it is showing through with our content. Off meta and how to crush with the underdog units I hear you. Appreciate the time it takes to write this kind of comment, Thanks!
I think you guys are doing great at making the channel a peaceful, fun place to talk about 40k. I do find myself feeling a limitation in that you guys have the things you like in things like, what armies you play n stuff, and the truth is this game is *massive*.
Maybe introduce guests who can talk with you on expansive topics beyond y'alls particular corner of the hobby? I personally also enjoy longer-form videos, so I'd love this style just stretched to maybe around 30 minutes maybe.
You guys are great though, and I'm a very happy subscriber!:)
I like all those Ideas . Thanks!
I love the talk show idea of (pick army) and a discussion about their TT flavor, interesting combos and for some what does a range refresh really require. We have a lot of lore channels but I’d love to see faction discussion focused on the TT perspective without it going full hyper competitive only play Gladius.
Lore discussions would be awesome. I'd love to hear you guys tier list the Primarchs.
Oh ya a little lore with a special guest could be awesome.
Great channel. List break downs and event break downs
to be honest i mainly come for your personality and would love to hear you theory craft live and hear feed back from the co-host of that episode
love the laid back talk show style, maybe discuss some hobby painting stuff like making custom chapters/factions and how'd they play?
You rarely make a video that I wouldnt be interested in. I think whatever compass you have that is guiding you towards making videos on one topic or another seems to be calibrated well, at least as far as I'm concerned. I'd say keep doing what you're doing.
One thing that I enjoy is the smattering of space marine content. I think so few channels treat space marines as anything other than a "beginner" army, so its refreshing to see some more advanced space marine content that really delves into the sorts of things that veteran players are doing to get the most out of the army. Not saying by any means that is all I'd want the channel to be, but every once in a while if I see a HH video about space marines; I am really excited because I know its going to be more than just a surface level discussion.
As hard Black Templar player i am here for some specific chapter vid's but regardless more space marines vid's are + for me always :D Our little community in Serbia supports you and watch on daily bases and keep up with good work you are helping us a lot :) 💪
Ah thanks so much, really appreciate it.
Interviews with friends or guests with a variety of perspectives on both gameplay and hobby aspects of the game would be cool. Thoughts about upcoming releases maybe too?
I love the discussions but as a newer player it would be cool to see some battle reports from you guys to watch some tactics and units in practice. Even if that's not in the cards it's cool to see you guys get more viewers and doing more videos.
I like the idea s , random thoughts about specific units/ characters and fun n less competition talk
Learning Warhammer is why I follow most channels on YT. I usually end up sticking around for the personalities. Y'all have great chemistry I'd love to see you do some deep dives on Tactics and Strategies for Space Marines. Many other channels do overall education but don't get in specific on armies they are passionate about. I'd love to get some of your favorite strategies for going first, going second, primary & secondary play and the units you like to employ those strats from the perspective of a faction enthusiast.
More Steve more often!
The talk show aspect is really good! Would love to see maybe viewers list reviews and unit break down etc or maybe what you think of lists doing well in the competitbe scene at GT's etc
Probably my Favorite Video from this channel was hearing about your After Action Review of the Tournament where you surprised alot of people with your imperial fists and explaining how you were able to use a detachment differently. I am a returning player and I haven't played since they added Command Points back in 8th(?) and with all the new rules and models It helps to learn new strategies. I think I have a decent grasp on how to build and play a Space Marine setup but Id love some help with other armies too.
YA that tournament recap was a lot of fun. I think more Videos like that are in the works.
Hey Guys! I have been enjoying the content you have been putting out. The conversation and discussion aspect is spot on, and is working great! I really enjoy how responsive you guys have been to the RUclips comments section. Clearly you guys read it, so hopefully my feedback here is helpful!
My favorite content so far has been the list building series. It has been really interesting to hear your takes on what goes into a list and why. I also really enjoyed the talk about the Gravis/Anvil Siegeforce list and how it did at the tournament. I think that is a concept you guys could build on!
Battle reports are nice, but there are so many different channels that do those. It would be interesting instead to get "Post Game" breakdown discussions about what works with interesting or unique lists you guys have used either casually or competitively. What went right, what didn't work out the way you thought when building, what situations were tough to deal with, and what accidentally worked out better than expected. It would be nice to hear what you would do differently as well with the benefit of hindsight.
You guys also clearly have large communities to tap into. Third seat guests every once in a while could be fun to see!
Thanks for the content guys!
Thanks for you comment, Steve and I are taking notes.
Personally I find list discussions very interesting because it is almost always a great start point for theory crafting ESPECIALLY THE FLUFFY LISTS I absolutely loved the full gravis imperial fist list.
However I really really enjoyed hearing the reactions to balance changes and so in that spirit i would love to see you each bring 5 units that are your favorites, in need of help, your least favorites etc. this stuff could transition into unit deep dives and such I think.
keep up the amazing work I have loved the vibes of every video, so Im excited for anything really
Thanks so much!
I really liked the discussions on list building, plus experiences of your tournament runs, in your chat show format.
Given your membership might be quite small to start with, there might be a space for list critiquing and how you might play into it/expect it to play? Very personable way of engaging and it not being general content that’s behind a paywall?
Hmm ya this is interesting. Thanks for the suggestion.
Hey Steve! I like this channel, you guys have found an untapped market. Lots of battle report and lore channels already. I keep coming back, because you and Ian always look at the game from a different perspective than myself and you both are a wealth of information, knowledge and experience. For example, the "how to use baldegaurd" video, or your thoughts on Anvil Siege Force. These are things I would not have otherwise considered trying out. Your conversations always flow nicely, and are very educational. Also, video length is perfect! Its not that I don't mind a 1.5 hour Luetin lore video, but I don't always have that kind of time. 20 minutes or less *insert Pacha just right meme* However, what I really need to see is your full collection of Space Marines! A suggestion for future content: community hobby hangouts/paint night kind of thing. Also, "reviews" of games you and your group play, clips of funny or game deciding moments. Not necessarily full games, just small clips.
Thanks for making great content!
OOH showing off all of Steves Space marines is a great Idea! really showcase the size of the collection! great idea.
@@hyperspacehobbies I can only guess how much Steve has. I have watched a lot of PlayOn Tabletop. From what I have seen him play: Imperial Fists, Blood Angels, Astral Claws, Space Wolves? Ultramarines -Featuring Steveus Calsteve and Salamanders. But I know he has more haha
I like the “how to use X” series of videos.
Comparison videos would be cool, like “bladeguard Vs Company heroes”.
Or maybe a series with a unique name on how to make use of cool models that don’t see much use, like reivers or weaker characters
Awesome Idea. We are listening.
Hi guys,
I think you're on a good way to the 5 digits. For what I'd like to see is video more often and discussion about character/units. The BGV one is one of my favorite beside you talking about taking anvil first. More unit/army list focus. Give us army list you have not did try yet or something going absurd on outrider for example or any armies you play. It means yes Steve you could start playing chaos to give us better idea. Not talk about meta-list but army list that could go that way. A new video about the new demon sucessful list(because they were already doing great) or how to deal with this kind of army. More tactics or plan in link with Pariah. A cheap membership that could let you record more video could be nice too.
Have a nice day everyone !
How to do work with the underdog. 💡
@@andylapierre8081 Oh i like that.
We are getting a lot of requests for underdog units and we are listening for sure. thanks for your comment!
I’d like a meta watch kind of discussion. I really do like the chat approach you guys have taken and the back and forth. Maybe some vids for specific armies?
appreciate the content!!
Since you started playing at Play On Tabletop Steve I've always rooted for you. Loved seeing you get better over the year and to be frank, get mad when you do something I don't agree with lol.
But you've always reminded me of myself and my journey in 40K.
All I really want to see is you improving. If you can improve then I can improve. I also subscribe to your channel because I enjoy the breakdowns on how to play the game. I don't really care so much for lore. I want to hear your take on what the meta is and both of your opinions about it.
I really enjoy how you guys help me understand parts of the game I struggle with I’m new to Warhammer came into because of Playon in 10th and I love learning everything from list building and tips to help improve my game or just to have more fun. Also Space wolves I’d love to hear some stuff about the Wolf of Fenris but that’s super biased😂
OMG the new detachment rules they got buffed them up so much! Totally should do a video on the Sons of Fenris. also....when Is Leman Russ coming back from the warp?
It helped me a lot when you talked about the new Dark Angels miniatures and the codex changes, but from the perspective that it can be done with what there is, it helped me a lot. I really enjoyed the games in which I have seen you participate, but it would be great to be able to see your game proposal live and it would also help a lot to understand how to adapt the changes in the codex
THANKS!
I’d like for there to be more content around different types of lists and identifying where some lists are weak and what would needed to be changed to fix them. As someone relatively new to the hobby I hear all the time to build what you want, but while I want my list to feel like my own I also don’t want to go into games and have this big glaring fault in what I’ve built and not know it
The idea of guest stars is actually kinda cool 🙂
It wouldn’t be me if I didn’t say the Thunderhawk was my favorite part. That being said, I love how this channel has evolved. I love the talk show vibe. I love the random silliness. I can only envision growth. I would love to see it become a “jack of all trades”. Building/bashing videos. Battle reports/live streams. Guest interviews(I know you guys know people). Just dabble in something different occasionally. Kinda like how you’re doing it, just more. Also, it might be just me, but I would love to hear your opinions/ideas/thoughts on just about anything, it just 40K. You guys are the best.
💛
Hmm a little switch up, could be a great way to grow the community. Thanks you've been such a great supporter! We Appreciate it!.
I’d say I’ve really enjoyed the parts of the videos that explain how score points. How to list build for the secondaries as well as balancing against the meta. It gives me a bit of an idea of what to aim for and what to watch out for with my opponent.
A tactical mind I see... your comment has been noted.
@@hyperspacehobbies I think I just prefer you two to do the thinking for me
Things i would love to see, Interview other content creators and have the same candid conversations that you two have, in an unscripted way. Take the Show on the Road, Space Marine Steve coming to my town playing on my board against me and my buddies with some sort of edited Video montage of the good times, no need to stream the games or do a play on table type thing just take some video or pictures and make memories with new players from all over. I love it when Steve thinks outside the box and plays neat combos, the Guilliman double Oath of Moment in 1st company detachment was such a cool idea, had those eradicators not died, or actually hurt anything, my brother!! . your the only one out there making these fun builds and playing them for the world to see. The Anvil Siege force build, also awesome. What other fun lists have you made that you think would be neat but not played? Your video about just having fun and enjoying the game win or lose, this is something more people need to hear and talk about. Have some Focused Faction Talk segments where you go into what you think the factions have that is cool and what each could use. Play some Narrative Games and then Narrate over them, show people there are other ways to play that are not standard mission/secondaries..Collaborate with Terrain Makers on RUclips there are tons of them that would love to show off their amazing Terrain Pieces. Is there a favorite part of the lore that you want to talk about, can you stomach majorkill as a guest, can you get on a call with the sandman of Terra and talk about what you you think is going to happen, Can you setup a Video with Lysander and Koda show off your armies and talk about the Game on their basically Lore Channel? Show case some of the amazing Painters, and Minis, connect your audience to some of these folks, talk about the Golden Demon, ask for Kit-Bash Pictures and pick the ones you like, offer up the chance for us to build your lists and you give us a battle report on how they did. Do a Video on Space Marine Chapters individually lots of videos out there focus on what is good and what is Meta, but i am sure that there is allot of flavor out there that we are not seeing because its not competitive?
There is so much Meta chasing out there, Covering the underdogs of the Codex's is a great Idea.
Sustains:
1. The cult of personality being built by your nicknames is one of the best slogans you have for grabbing attention and eyes balls. For example “Space Marine Steve” that tells the whole audience right there what you’re about and how you play. Which is like a chad. “My good friend Ian” say’s what Ian is all about. He’s a warm, love able guy who isn’t just a co-host with Steve. But is also becoming OUR good friend as well. Which helps to create an actual connection with the community as opposed to us just feeling like an audience.
2. You both do exceptionally well in your deep dive of specific units or vehicles (see land raider redeemer for example) and considering how you’re channel is “vibes” wise. As being somewhat newer player friendly I feel this is a massive pro for this channel. Continue to deep dive into units and vehicles to teach the newer members of 40K how to play and what to buy. 40K is a very overwhelming game at first glance, and with prices rising we want to make sure those “hard learned lessons” aren’t being learned at the expense of someone’s wallets. Or at least reduced in this case.
3. Your “networking” with other channels like Play On TableTop for example. I have specifically subscribed to that channel because I saw a video with the two of you in it. The more places you are, the more you’ll be seen, the more you get seen, the more people come to the channel. And why wouldn’t we you guys rock!😉
Improves:
1 Try to make your videos “stick to the script” as much as possible as sometimes it does seem to wander or “get lost in the weeds.”
2. I know Steve is a teacher (which takes a lot of time and dedication) and I’m sure Ian is employed as well, but if possible try to make more videos. You guys are a unique and fun channel that I believe wouldn’t “dry out” if we saw twice a week.
3. This one kinda goes with my second point. Try and get some guests. I know “three’s a crowd” but within the 40K community there are some GREAT personalities out there. Of which I believe many would provide unique insight’s into your instructional videos as well as entertainment value.
Closing: These are of course my opinions and can be disregarded as you please. I only like to do my part to help you guys. Even if you change absolutely nothing about the channel it’s still an A level channel in my book. I really enjoy your work gentlemen and as always GREAT VIDEO!
Yeah guests 😜
First of all thanks! Its great to get some tips on how to improve and we are defiantly taking notes, sometimes we are to close to it to see the bigger picture, and this kind of stuff opens our eyes a little. I really appreciate it. Cheers!
Anyone in mind there Mr. Initiative?
@@hyperspacehobbies Henry Cavill
@@hyperspacehobbies Steven Box, Michael Costello (both from Vanguard Tactics), Tycho, Nick (from play on table top) and lastly I think it would be cool if you could do a “lesser known” member of the RUclips 40K community. Think 40K dirt bags or the Australian gentleman who’s channel is something like “blog for the blood god” would be pretty cool. You’d be getting some “big names” to grab eyeballs (obvi) but then also sprinkling in some “little guys” which helps them grow and maybe even YOU GROW (😉) in ways you wouldn’t imagine. Plus you’d be helping people expand their channels (hopefully) which would make’s people grateful to you. Which in turn helps expand your influence, credibility, and “voice” in the 40K sphere. Those are just my personal suggestions for you gentlemen, think 48 laws of power for 40K 😂. Have a good day you guys!
I'm just a regular dude so there are many like me. Why did I start playing 40K? 3 Reasons, the models, the strategy and the world of 40k. So here are a few things I would love to see. Go talk to some of the painting gods out there. I love tips and tricks on strategy. Cover tournaments. Game play analisys. Meta talk. The all mighty "tier lists", there are so many you can make. Can you make one about leagues? I love the idea of a league but are there things you can do to make the league better? Also get a cutout of "Number Six", Tricia Elfer :)
There is a great league out where we are that might be a solid thing to talk about, i like that. That is one Stone Cold Battlestar Galactic babe.
I just started playing and still building my first army. I appreciate the information and would like build strategies being so new and of course had to go with Ultramarines.
Ultramarines have the character support for sure, Calgar and Tigerious are my favorite.
I'd love to hear about your experiences in different matchups. What were your takeaways playing Space Marines Gladius against Chaos Knights for example.
Come on ian! Family is temporary, tiny space men are forever! My only feedback is that, as someone in their early 30's, Arena Padme was the source of my awakening rather than Jabba's Palace Leia.
A fair argument... I think our Wifes/GF's might not appreciate if we continually purchase Life sized cut outs of sexy space ladies... but your right! who are they to boss us around!?*frantically starts typing into amazon*
@@hyperspacehobbies I could not find it when I tried. Woulda sent it your way if I could have!
Maybe bring in a “special guest” from either a memorable match from Play On or any of the tournaments you both play at: unusual lists or creators of “how did they do that?!” in-game moments. Cheers!
Ya getting some people who play different armies can be a way to broaden our point of veiw. Thanks for the comment.
What i find different from you guys is a bit more of the "ground level" stuff of 40k. You are both great personalities but also good players who make the most of your collections. If I want the Sigma tier pro advice i would go to AOW or Vanguard Tactics, and there is a place for that. From you I like to hear more about some unsung space marine/ daemon units that can do real work on the table if you pilot them well. Might not be the very best but chances are that's what a lot of us have!
Ya! not everyone is rushing out to buy 18 Mega Nobs...oh wait they have already been Nerfed, F*#$! the meta evolves so fast that if you stay on top of it you will burn out I find.
The more space marines and general rules for newer players the better!
Space marine list building, their stronger units, forgiving list builds for new players.
Members content, should be different offering so you don’t get accused of putting content behind a pay wall. Although, I do enjoy early access.
I like to listen to stuff like rate my lists, meta, getting guests on who play other factions well….
All good stuff, keep it coming.
Forgiving list builds for new plays is awesome. fantastic idea!
I like to see theory crafting list that go way against the meta. And also...more imperial fists
I'd just like to request a game a month between the hosts. Space Marines vs X. Whatever the new meta is.
This would be kickass!🤩
Space marine Steve. What you would do to fix each detachments in Space Marine Codex and Chaos Space marine Codex. What would you fix in the main rule book. Do you think that 40K would get bigger if they did the 40K series correctly.
I love these little fire side chats. If you moved to a pay wall or had member content I’d love a weekly podcast or maybe a weekly streamed game?
We have been talking about this kind of thing, its in our minds for sure, And if we offer anything that people want to pay for we need it to be quality stuff. Might be coming down the line.
Hey @spacemarinesteve6057, love the content - keep on going! My 2 cents:
1. alway great wenn you guys talk about (space marine) units or detachment that are not super meta and how you try to make them work, like the anvil siege force.
2. Me (and probably a lot of the audience) are no great tournament goers (yet), so always great to hear something from your tournament games, what went well what did not ect.
Cheers!
Or even a video to encourage people to give tournaments a try? Great to have your support. We love the Off meta stuff too.
I enjoy the talk show feel, which is different from a lot of 40k content. Don’t change that and try to get into bat reps, that’s not your niche IMO. I also enjoy the shorter episodes. 15-20 minutes is a nice length and can be watched in between life, unlike 2-3 hours of some videos. I’ve really enjoyed some of the unit discussions, the RTT recap episode, and many others.
I appreciate that!
A lot of other channels will do quick list reviews, and it inevitably turns into 30 seconds of “quick, spend $250 and replace X unit with Y unit and B unit with C unit.” I would love a more in depth breakdown, that looks at a sample list (submitted by future channel members?) and talks about what the list seems to be trying to do, what its weaknesses are in a broader sense, and what different units could plug those gaps. Especially for folks who might have limited collections or budgets, just telling people to blow a ton of money and hobby time on something specific is so much less helpful than “hey, this SM list is going to struggle to score secondaries. Maybe replace X unit with scouts or inceptors or jump pack intercessors as ways to score those”
I would say lists building and making detachments work even when they are not that good
In as few words as possible: more Kill Team.
OH!
Pod Cast! Do a Pod cast! Have guests on and chill for an hour or so.
Haha ok ok ok, I hear ya. and I like it.
Ooooooh… second time through and I’ve decided I want an army showcase. Let’s see your favorite models.
👍
Ya full Space Marine Steve army showcase would be pretty awesome to see.
I Had an Idea for a Format. I'd call it: "Because i want them" and its about unpopular Units that you (or a guest) really Likes and want's to make Work in a list
Ah yes the (its not a great unit) but the rule of cool wins out kind of thing. thanks!
I think it would be cool if for some videos you could wheel in a white board and use it draw a table top board and tactics to use during the game.
Oooh! this is very interesting. Like an overworld map and discuss deployment strategies on particular terrain layouts.
@@hyperspacehobbies ye might he a bit difficult to mark infantry units, maybe you could use magnets to mark where infantry are.
More Leia! ❤❤❤
Never can get enough haha!
I think if you did break downs before and after a tournament. Like why are you choosing certain units and what you hope to plan to do with it. Aka win it all or just a fun list.
ohh a pre and post tournament breakdown, i like that.
@@hyperspacehobbies I been playing a gravis anvil force. I want to compare more 😂
Was is odd is that I cant find a dedicated SM channel. And Ian knows Daemons. So - how about faction focuses about SM amd Daemons? Invite some guests to have round tables, do some hobby videos about kit bashing and painting, narrative campaigns and so on. :)
Book reviews/lore discussions?
I second this
Oh dang did you read Infinite and the Divine? that book kicked butt.
Tbh we need more just Steve and Leia episodes. Ian is great and all but come on its princess leia
HeY DonT yOu SAy ThAt ABoUt IAN! This big bonus is that with Ian gone and replaced by a cardboard cutout the budget has more wiggle room.
@hyperspacehobbies think of all the expensive plastic the channel could afford!!! For real though keep up the great work fellas!
@@nickc9210 Haha!
Id like to see some One Page Rules Grimdark Future or some Old World Fantasy battle reports.
Ohh Old world fantasy stuff is something I haven't looked at since the end times. Might be something to keep an eye out for.
Because you consider yourself a tack show and a talked show it
Usually has a Live audience. Maybe you should set 1 program for some interaction with members on discord with a set topic and you do it live.
Live content is something we have been looking at, Ive got some rather wacky Ideas for it...
Tier list's are great filler.
This ia actually great advice. sometimes filler is a way to rest up... for something BIG!
Hi love your videos ❤
KitbashCarnage hear at the age of 31 iv recently got back into the warhammer/kitbashing community agen after taking 15year brake to pay bills and so on .
I have taken the leap head on and started a youtube channel along with Instagram, Facebook and Tiktok. It's hard with this algorithm thing is somthing to get used to along with editing and so on but my love and the flame for my lost passion has been reignited more then ever and dont plan on stopping soon .

Regards
KitbashCarnage
OH I checked out some of your stuff looks fun!
Really enjoyed the tactics/builds chat, as a returner to the world of 40K painting I’ve been interested in getting back into the game too and your chats are super clear and your understanding shines through
