Printed Codexes are really struggling to be a value proposition now, especially with how quickly they go out of date.

[jamesmowbray]

7:46 Obviously they should have clothes, they are the Jean-stealers after all

[thepoorhammerpodcast]

You boys have to explain this British slang. What's a B-Tech? Google says it's a Bachelors of Technology degree, I somehow doubt that's what you mean.

[willsta]

Ridgerunners are unarguably the best unit in our codex. A list could easily have 6 of them

[boolieman]

I play GSC, I bought 2 old combat patrols and the biosantic broodsurge box as well as boarding party I snagged a bit back. If it wasn't for these box sets it would not have happened!

”Would you ever run more than 1x Ridge Runner”

This is the point where my four armed ass stopped to video.

[watchdiving]

Great video! One point to note, pretty sure under one specific detachment you can bring astra militarum units which might make the army a bit more interesting!

My GSC is a funny one. I won two GW vouchers that together were 55€, then I bought one of the old combat patrols, the acolyte sprues had some weird streaks on them and I messaged GW about it and they sent me ANOTHER COMBAT PATROL instead of the acolyte box because i guess it was easier to copy and paste my order. So realistically, i got 2 combat patrols for 70€ which is 70€/64 minis =1.10€. Two rockgrinders for 2.20€ is bonkers. I also bought the boarding patrol mainly for the characters and because it was a good combo of expensive squads aswell. So i got a full army of GSC for 170€. I still want the other vehicles and characters but tue characters are kitbasheable

I've been thinking of adding to my Gene Simmons Cult for some time now....

[Daniel_rjones]

Love the video lads! Never thought GSC would have so many vehicles 😂

[markdoherty]

Currently building a GSC army, I’m lucky as I was able to buy two of the old combat patrols… once I’m done I’ll pick up 2 of the new combat patrol (I think it’s pretty good)

Bonus - GSC are hella easy to kitbash characters and the Rockgrinder/truck kit comes with 3 bonus dudes
That’s allowed me to kitbash a primus / nexos / sabatour and a few more

What’s great is there’s still some of the army boxes floating around

Hoping to get 2000 points for under €500

2 x old combat patrol
€112.5 (flg discount included)
€112.5
New combat patrol
€117
Codex army box
€150


It’s so sad that the old combat patrol is dead… it just kills new interest in the army

1 AUD = .67 USD and .52 GBP. Median income in Australia is 71, 500 AUD. Median income in the United States is 74, 580 USD. Median income in the UK is 35, 000 GBP.

[AnominousRex]

I feel like they need some up armed large land crawlers.

[alexscholz]

Have fun with Sisters, Kierans, because in AUS there's a case for them to be the most expensive army, possibly more than even AdMech. The pricing for their vehicles and characters in particular are just insane
Regular Rhino: $64 AUD
Sisters Rhino: $110 AUD

The Castigator is below 1ppd in AUS ($155 for 150 points) whereas the Dunecrawler is sitting far more comfortably at 1.28ppd. Even the battleline both remain competitive (for worst army pricing) at more or less a point a dollar. Looking at their characters, a Dominus and Manipulus are both worth more points (75 and 65) and cost equal to most sisters generic characters, and those that cost less aren't by a huge margin in dollars, but definitely are in points. It's actually insane.

Edit: Obviously this is all at GW webstore prices, but even still, you're still coughing up an enormous amount of money third-party for Sisters

My GSC journey was two old combat patrols, a Boarding Patrol I found, the Kill Team Brood Brothers, Ten Genestealers from my Tyranids army and the Horus Heresy Solar Auxilia box(which I got to use the troops for Traitor Guard for my Alpha Legion and the tanks/heavy sentinel for my GSC)

And Im only barely above 2k points, crazy how expensive this army is but theyre so cool.

[paulbalfour]

They’re so cool, but so many models and so little time!

[Taphosthewarlock]

Petition to refer to AUSD as Dollarydoos in future videos

[KelstenGamingUK]

I’ve got an old combat patrol, the recent battleforce box (so three rockgrinders/trucks), the recent kill team termination box which includes the brood coven, all the characters and I’ve kitbashed 30 of my neophytes into medical, security and other personnel to break up painting so bloody many neophytes. I also bought the new codex and cards because why not? 😂

As probably one of only a few kiwis watching,

I was able to afford it before i has twins.... Having a full time job, no mortgage, no kids = good spending money.

Secondly, and also slightly embarrassed, i have 4.5 armies. Main one being daemons and i have a good amount of them. Still need to get a few more models to round out everything.

I've bought most of my models second hand of troll trader. Love that site. Still check it regularly

But our biggest problem is that there are no stores that sell models at 20% discount WITHIN NZ. If we want that we have to order from Aus.

[dinkosaurusrex]

I love this series but I already have about 9000 points of GSC so I watch this for the lols
