      You also made a mistake of trying too hard on base weights: 1 inch fender washers run you $10 for 100 as a private citizen and 2 of them will fill in a 32 mil base, and 1.25 fenders nicely fill 40 and 50 mil bases.

    The biggest thing you should teach everyone is that Games Workshop considers itself a miniatures company first and game company second. Everything starts making more sense when you learn that they're not primarily trying to make a game and the medium happens to be physical miniatures, it's the other way around.

    Carnifexes can be good as distraction units that look scary. They just don't work against tournament players that understand and know to ignore them. They can soak a lot of shots. Most of this is stuff that made me leave the hobby 8-10 years ago. I came back because I enjoy the modeling and painting. The competitive scene is rough and either you decide to spend thousands to adapt to each change in the meta or build an army you like and play a sub-optimized list. The level of fun in this hobby should not be dependent on number of wins but on time spent with friends. family and self-enjoyment and relaxation in modeling and painting.

      Agreed, never ever heard of anyone measuring/weighting a model. And if it was recast from the original model, they'd be the same size anyway.

      The moral here might be to stick to an army for a while before selling it on. Even if you don't like it anymore right now, who's to say how you'll feel about it six months down the line? I'd say only sell off stuff you haven't touched in a year and know for a fact you don't want anymore and are okay having to start again from scratch if you change your mind.

    to be fair: You only need to stay on top of all rules and books if you want to stay competitive. If you want to just play the army and use the models you like, like the sporocyst, you only need the codex. It's how we play in our group and there's a lot less streß and anger over new books being released monthly.

    For my carrying case I cut the foam into small cubes. Then when I put models in it I Bury them a little and with the added mass of the models it should overflow but closing the case adds enough pressure to keep the models in place without damaging them. And while it can end up throwing foam around a little and you have to dig the models out, the models are easily removed without issue or damage. It's an extra step but well worth it to me. Not to mention it makes the case universal. I don't need entire new foam blocks if I want to bring knights instead of nids, or wolves, or necrons... I have 4 armies.
    Also! If you have a big carry case like me, get a smaller box just for small infantry (like gaunts) and keep them in that inside the main box to keep them all together

    Back in 5th when I started playing, the table size was like 4'x6' so I bought two 2'x6' doors (w/o the doorknob hole) and put hinges on them. Put velcro on the underside and got a felt cover so we weren't on bare wood then laid that over top of a regular table. Worked great. I stopped playing years ago and got back into the hobby recently so I haven't played on it in several years (only played 9th on TTS) but it should still work fine, I'll probably get a mat to define the playable area and then have the excess table space for models, books, etc. during games.

And eventually you will find people who plays in your "style" and m what you find enjoying. Also meta changes, and if you buy 18 tyranid warriors, maybe by the time you are painting the 4th one, a new codex come out where tyranid warriors are awful... You never know, so buy the army you wanna play regardless of the meta and find opponents that make the games interesting...

    • @DiceCheck

      We're not saying be competitive, we're saying to be responsible and figure out what you can actually play/what works out for you. If you just start buying models without reading your codex and don't have a game plan outside of a start collecting box you'll end up with a large pile of shame. Yeah you can literally buy everything in the army and become future proof, but if you're starting in the hobby the last thing you'd want is to end up with a pile of models you're don't want to use and/or can't use.
      I bought a toxicrene because I thought it looked cool and it's rules sounded fun. He's not painted because I learned that I can't even move him through most terrain layouts because the model won't fit from the way that he's built. Sporocyst I can only field outside of 3" from any piece of terrain from fortification changes. That's already $140 that I could have spent on something else instead of those models if I had just took the time and researched what models are okay to play.

    2 of those grey plastic topped fold-able tables work great as well and are even cheaper. I laughed so hard because I got into warhammer about 8 years ago when I moved into an apartment with 2 buddies. They had a ping-pong table in the main living area. It usually stayed folded in half most of the time but like you said, even half is big enough for a game. If we had a few friends over and wanted to do a 3v3 or 4v4 we would shuffle other furniture around to unfold it.

    @26:55 An easy way to add dimension to MDF terrain is to print out "posters" and put them on the wall. You can find plenty of images online of 40k propaganda style posters, just shrink them down and print them out on a normal color printer. You can cut them out, then use a gluestick to stick it to the blank wall. if it needs to be more durable, you can go over it with matte mod-podge. This works for any terrain, but works best on flat surfaces like the kind that MDF has

    Here's another tip FLGS = Friendly Local Gaming Store. Almost every FLGS gives 10% off anything you order from GW. So for real, shop at or ask your FLGS to order it for you. It is typically free and saves you money AND it helps support the brick and mortar stores that support our hobby and have been dealing with difficult conditions now.

    I would be careful about bringing up recasting. It brings out a lot of Dunning Krugers that just fuck with everyone. Just about every single thing that people try to use to say you can spot recasts are lies, half truths or just false info. Everything from weight to mould lines to the smell. And considering how up and down the quality of FW products can be, weight and even shape varies (warping really common in FW stuff). The only thing you could use as a guarantee is if someone has an old ass OOP model that was only cast in metal, in resin. But other than those super mega niche cases, it's more or less a guessing game.
    Also unless your army is totally FW like if you went Elysian or Death Korp, or uses a ton of FW parts like Leman Russ variants, you're never going to have someone even consider you might have recasts. The 'no recasts' thing usually only applies to idiots talking about their stuff knowingly being recasts and telling other people where to get them, you're almost never going to have someone accusing you or weighing random models in your army (as if you couldn't just use magnets or weighted basing materials on your bases to make any kind of standardized 'your plastic guy should only weigh this much but weighs this much' meaningless). And making people afraid that they're buying recasts just exacerbates the problem, because then they read up all the misinformation out there and accuse other people of having recasts for stuff like double mould lines or being just a bad cast but it must be a recast because it looks shit.

    As for another point for newer player's and the point of "buying 2k point's army" they may try Kill Team. Kinda hope it gets covered here in some way. You go get a 100-200 point models and you can play. Furthermore, most models can be used effectively in the 40k later. It's quite approachable as well considering that for example you can get the grey knights strike squad, equip 5 of them and... well that's all you need for models.

    Uh.. like I love you guys, but damn this episode is.. 'yeah we made a mistake by buying what we liked the looks of, now we take part in tournaments and it's garbage, so definitely research what is competitive at a given moment or else you can't play the game', 'be prepared to customize your units, because not all options are in the boxes', 'everything is so expensive, definitely buy only second hand', you need to buy thirty books to know what's going on'... like lads.. I came into this thinking it would be 'oh I did some silly mistake, I wish I did this' but this video's message basically is 'yeah, I tried to have fun but this hobby has so many flaws and intricacies at every step lol why would anyone do this?'
    Probably just how I personally view it and the video is still enjoyable of course (background music would make it better though), but it just sounds very much like what you wish you knew before starting is that the hobby sucks, as that's kind of what each bullet point led to. Kinda discourages people, especially the fact that you really don't offer good solutions to many problems. In videos like a year before back on Matt's channel he for example says how some things are kinda tough to get into, but there's Wahapedia, Battlescribe, Warcom etc.. kind of what I'm missing from this.
    But again, the video is still fun to watch and I can definitely relate to some of your points. Happy wargaming!

    On the buying front it'll depend what your looking to do as I collect Guard and 30k White Scars so getting all the options is my goal rather Han what is most effective options.
    While my 40k Primaris forces I've bought is upto about 150 minis and 21 of those is outriders to convert option's as I want to run an all bike White Scars force which isn't an option at current but every 6 months when points and rules change I'll have the options available to run right away. 😇

After my experience with DI, I got caught in that the box set is out gotta get it before it’s gone. That’s were it all went down hill needless to say the pile of opportunity is pretty good (592 models in total). I’ve vowed to not buy anything else until my Necron army is done, that’s after I finish my current project Death Guard and Ultramarines are finished.
