"I feel like I could get this half done in 24 hours" is a great excuse for another 24 hr challenge for the algorithm

2:00 - But they DID include enough terrain in the box to play the game. That's the trick that they're not saying out loud. This isn't truly an Age of Sigmar 4.0 starter box. This is a full boxed game of Spearhead, with two complete armies, a hardcover rulebook, and everything you'd need to start playing (except dice).

Hello, Skaven (and stormcast) guy here.

The Ratling Wrapblaster isn’t a squirt gun, its fires wrap stone. Consider it a normal gatling gun but instead of being feed bullets it compresses magic rocks

Models and Memories Weekly “how?” compilation coming when?

[euansmith]

All AOS/40k special characters are descendents of the legendary human hero, Jonathan Frakes. This explains why they are always standing around with one foot up on a rock.

[abasheddevil]

Jay, I love you, but seriously, every time you say something 'looks very 40k', it puts me in mind of that tweet about the guy who has only ever seen The Boss Baby watching his second ever movie and going, "Getting a lot of Boss Baby vibes from this..."

[greybearddnd]

I understand that AOS is not really your game but:
The terrain is perfectly made for the new Spearhead Format and is supposed to be used on the Warcry sized board, not for a full 2000pts Match Rule Games.
The Box is more or less the same price as the Leviathan box but contains much higher point values then Leviathan did. Depending on how points might change with the new edition, these are more then 1000 Points each and actually playable (as opposed to getting totally mismatching Heroes / Units in Leviathan)
Stormcast did somehow resemble Space marines early on, but these new Sculpts are much more their own identity. And FYI purity seals origin from Warhammer Fantasy, especially Flagellants, so having them on AOS miniatures makes more sense, then 40k adapting them :P

[redwillow]

I am genuinely excited for this box. I love the fact that Stormcast Eternals have more of an identity, instead of resembling fantasy Space Marines. Can't wait to see what other new models they bring out in the new edition for Age of Sigmar.

[petermartin]

The terrain is meant for the Spearhead mode from what I've seen on warcom.
Spearhead is more the interesting development for me as with Leviathan, yes, you had two combat patrols in the box, but that was it. With the AoS version, you're getting all rules upfront and in a separate hardback and boards.

[tecccow]

All of those storm cast characters have perfect bits for my salamanders conversions FLAMING SWORDS AND AXES YEAH

[pirate]

I dont even play AoS but I picked up Dominion for $90 at my local shop and was happy to paint them

[Warpedlogical]

As I do my morning commute to work, you’re “how” is ingrained in my head so when I play these video in the background, I now scream “how” & point a finger at the closest car.
Where are my marbles?

[AJ_Battle]

I think the idea of the terrain is that if you get 4 pieces in the GW style your more likely to buy more in the GW style to match then to buy other sets.

[sinisterplank]

I did not expect to get inspired to start a skaven army today, but here we are...

- A single evening at the restaurant and going out for drinks is 100$ CAD, easy.
- A single AAA videogame is 89$ CAD + taxes, easy.
- A single box of 40K Combat Patrol is now 200$ here in Canada. For like 15-20 miniatures.
- With Skaventide, for 300$, I'm getting weeks (if not months) of hobby time. Assembling, airbrushing, painting, playing - not to mention the time to enjoy reading both books cover to cover.

These new edition starter boxes for AoS/40K are BY FAR the best value-for-money products sold by Games Workshop. Period.
Auspex Tactics made a value breakdown, and ballparked the regular MSRP for individual components at around 900$, and that's not including the terrain and some of the Spearhead cards.

I will also note that this channel made a "what to buy for KillTeam in 2024" video about 3 months ago, in which you said the Octarius box offered great value.
That Octarius box was 240$ CAD, and included objectively way less in terms of gameplay and hobby elements.

[Surge-hsk]

GW, NEEDS TO MAKE A OF SKAVENTIDE They'd better not disappoint us.!!!!

[kikolokopo_toys]

I think they rumbled about the textures because they want new people to buy contrast paints more often. Texture is what all the youtube channels talk about when painting with contrast, and for new people understanding what texture is isn't probably the easiest job ever (?), so mentioning that your minis have good and interesting textures, will help you sell your expensiver than gold paints

[nevilovermann]

I really like the most recent reveal-show. I wish there was even more conversation with the designers and studio staff, but I really enjoyed it!
