Yeah!

And yet I've got 22,000 subscribers and you've got 114.

I think the rules are pretty different now, though I must admit I never played the original Spartan version.

Yeah, wish I actually had a production budget. 🤣

I used a lighter silver for the base coat as they're 'heroic' - probably Runefang Steel. Probably the same for the gold mix. I don't worry about recipes and paint names, I just grab whatever feels right at the time!

@@EsotericOrderGamers Thanks!

50mm

Thankyou for saving me the time to check that 🤣

Don't worry it's magnetised - a simple twist and it's fixed!

I'm sure the Fire and Jade book will be available separately, and then you'll have to buy the pack with the battlefield to get the cards I guess.

We may have given him citizenship, but I hear that Aussie twang hanging in there still... 😂

@@oneofmanyAndyRobertsons hmmm I was questioning it with the pronunciation of “miniatures” 🤣

You're crazy! I may have been here 12 years, but I still sound Australian and I'll fight anyone who denies it! 🤣

@@EsotericOrderGamers ...aaaand it's that kind of attitude that marks you out as not a Kiwi! 🤣🤪

Agreed, man - I also find that actually setting the model down and viewing it from "tabletop distance", rather than my usual 30cm painting range frequently persuades me that it's more than good enough 😂

Yes - while I say I'll be giving these models a highlight pass, the truth is I'll probably never get around to it, and the fact they are missing that extra level of detail made absolutely no difference to our enjoyment of the game AT ALL!

@@Nazgull2k1 That's your job. I'll show you what you get in the box, you find out the price in your area and decide whether you wish to purchase it or not. The choice is yours. I certainly can't do anything about how they price their products, and GW isn't reading the comments on my videos.

It often cracks me up when people in Europe and America (understandably) complain about price tag, given how arbitrarily more expensive they are here in NZ and Oz.

@@oneofmanyAndyRobertsons Yeah, me too Andy - they have no idea the premium those in Australasia have been paying for many years now, for no justifiable reason.

⁠@@EsotericOrderGamersand what gets me there is rather than look into other miniature providers that sell them much cheaper Oz and NZ keep buying GW’s stuff rather than letting them sink in those areas and force better prices out of them.

@@Tom-bf2nm What? That's not how capitalism works mate.

Editing now!

Lifelong GW skeptic / critic here, and I can honestly say Spearhead was much better than I expected. Enough to buy into the system myself with my very limited hobby budget? No. 😂 ... but definitely enough to start giving giving GW a little more benefit of the doubt in the future.

You can play great games with just the rules and 2 warbands and some terrain - what you choose to buy after that is up to you. No one's forcing you to get it all!

I've spent thousands of hours making unit cards for my own use for many different tabletop minis games. So I agree that useable reference cards are a very, very rare thing in such games, which is annoying.

It could be an issue if you study the tokens. But they were a Kickstarter extra and there are cardboard versions.

Sure, as long as you go put a link to mine in their comments! 🤣

well, problem solved then! 🤣

Lol it's also possible I got lucky this time. I assimilated the character she attacked me with.

Yes, the Dominion box for the last edition was much better. Does seem pretty rough to go the cheaper cardboard this time.

290x220x40mm, 2.2kg. Would you like a list of worldwide shipping quotes too? 🤣🤣🤣

@@EsotericOrderGamers thank you so much , I'm shipping the books to a friend, they will class as a medium parcel due to the weight

No problem, I'm just being cheeky! These things are a matter of taste and in fact I agree with you, it's not a style I'm crazy about either (though they do look somewhat better when they're painted up). But in their defence I don't think GF9 are targeting miniatures aficionados here - it's not a tabletop miniatures tactical game after all - they're really just fancy playing pieces for the game.

I like the positive comment more than the negative one! 🤣

Be my guest! Plenty of people do. Oh and by the way I was running my channel for almost 10 years before I got on the review list. Have fun and good luck!

@@EsotericOrderGamers ha, never gonna happen - I don’t have the personality for it. But thanks anyway 🤣

@@rondyreeves4772 Fair enough. So perhaps don't complain about not getting it free and earlier to the people who do put in the hard yards, aye? 🤣

@@EsotericOrderGamers I guess it’s kinda difficult to tell sarcasm or kidding via text, huh. But it’s all good. I’m coming to your house and stealing ALL of your minis. This is your fault, not mine, so just accept it. 🤣

It IS very difficult - especially when, trust me, you get some truly mind-warpingly stupid and childish comments from some total dropkicks sometimes. I'm finally starting to get the vague idea that in this case you were just kidding though ... 🤣🤣🤣 Now, I'm off to check my home security system ...

I've run out of rat puns ...

@@EsotericOrderGamers I can't think of one either as I sit here, hovering over the keyboard with my hand on the - mouse. Must get my mind out of the sewer.

I bow my head to the master

I will be doing one! We'll start with the Skaventide ones, and see if I can scrape together the models for some different factions in a future one. (Looks at model collection) Hmm, it appears I can field the Kruleboyz, Night Haunts, Cities of Sigmar and Nurgle Maggotkin ...

Actually, the rules in the Spearhead book appear to be a total repeat of the core rules in the main book; it just doesn't include the Magic, Command, and Battle Tactics modules. I can see why they kept it separate but it seems a bit silly. I'd rather just have all the background fluff in a separate book.

Yes, which is great. Still, they should have printed cards in the box for the models that are in the box, I reckon.

Kruleboyz and Ironjawz will be separate factions now (with Bonesplitterz leaving AoS next year to be part of The Old World setting only) but both factions will share an upcoming battletome. Kruleboyz will have a Spearhead at launch (the old Orruk Warclans Vanguard box which is all Kruleboyz models). Ironjawz will eventually have their own Spearhead but not at launch.

@@PickleTheHutt damn thats annoying.. no one plays kruleboyz..

@@waferjuice I was definitely bummed too as Ironjawz Spearhead was going to be my first purchase after the Skaventide box. They've said a box will eventually come (an all new one since they don't have a vanguard box unlike the other factions and vanguard boxes are just being rebranded as Spearhead) but may not be for a while. Hopefully they will release rules for an Ironjawz Spearhead (even if there's not a box for it) that uses already released units sooner.

@@PickleTheHutt You just need to add a Beast-Skewer Killbow to the Dominion Kruleboyz figures to have the Spearhead army. Whoops, I just bought one.

@@EsotericOrderGamers For the Kruleboyz Spearhead, yes. They don't have an Ironjawz Spearhead yet. They'll be two separate factions in 4th.

Perhaps I should start a 'weather in NZ' channel - I'll probably get more hits! 🤣 It's cold and wet and into winter here, pretty miserable.

Only Games Workshop would bring out a starter box and not include dice (which would cost them pennies) and unit cards. I suggest that the tissue in the box is to mop up your tears, when you realise how much you have spent and still don't have everything needed to play. One Page Rules all the way for me.

he's here til Thursday folks, try the veal

If that's true I'll eat my rat

Yeah, nothing much to see here, it's to get new people into the hobby I guess.

Sorry, I didn't do one for the rest of the miniatures, but I have lots of other painting tutorials that teach you painting techniques. You really don't need a specific one for each specific miniature you paint!

Ummm ... without watching my video through again, isn't that exactly what I do here?

Yes way!

Thankyou - and yes I will, stay tuned!

Nice isn't it? Got that from Gale Force Nine a long time ago and painted it up.
