I think the tau looks great overall love the battle damaged look and grime on the white color, especially the 3d printed addons make them look great. Tank looks like it was painted with fingerpaints sadly.
The fact they had to start at the used model market to even make this feasible says everything we need to know. On a related note if you live in an area with a vibrant tournament scene you can probably get a used army pretty cheap. In my home town where the tournament scene is everything we would regularly trade armies for very little as the meta changed. I once owned a huge Krieg army I bought for $100.00 USD and a Blood Angels army half the size. I traded that army for Space Wolves, traded them for Cadian Imperial Guard, and finally traded that army for my original army I started playing with many years prior; Dark Angels. No one cared about the price as long as the army stayed in the broader community, with unique exceptions like the Krieg army because of how hard they are to acquire.
This is exactly what I was thinking. I kinda feel the video starts with the wrong question, as it pretty much answers it within 5% of it's run time, the rest just being the process of the challenge (which, don't get me wrong, was fun to watch). I don't have the play group anecdotes to put in, but while I'm willing to concede that you're not going to get a tournament ready army in any tabletop system at the scale of 40k for 100€ (or $ or whatever), you should be able to pull together 1000pts, off the shelf, at 200€ for at least the majority of the armies available, which is very much not the case.
@@Chii1991$100 AUD gets me maybe 1 box of units and a low end character. It’s horrible. Buying online or at some of our third party game shops saves 10-20%, even then it’s costing me approximately $600 for 1000 points depending on the army
Highly encourage you all to go back and watch the kill team one from about 3 years ago… still some of my favourite warhammer hobby vids ever. Pure fun and joy.
This was my introduction to your channel. I absolutely loved this and wish my game group would be open to something like this. Please do this again and frequently!
I'm shocked nobody went necrons. They're still super cheap to build. Find an old recruit edition (or old sculpts), sell the space marines, night bringer, command barge (build as two units), Doom scythe/Doomsday ark.
I really enjoy these types of shows, it is fun to see how everyone would tackle this challenge. Living in Australia I think I could get a space marine for $100 XD And I was so happy that this was made into a 47min video, great work mate.
Yeah if my opponet had a tau army like that i wouldnt first think it was painted in just one day. It looks good especially from distance. Those others need to be looked from 10meters away to look good.
This was a really great concept! Great work! :D I would love to have seen summaries after each section because it was impossible to follow who had bought what, where they bought them, what they looked like before and after
You can get a decent 3D scanner too. The price varies anywhere between $350-$1700, but once you have one you can create STLs out of models that already exist. See one you like? Scan it. Print it. Enjoy.
First time I've watched one of your videos - I've subscribed for more! I enjoyed the premise, I enjoyed the play by play of each section. I think all of them were completely robbed in terms of prices on ebay, even the Tau to a degree! Looking forward to exploring your content!
This was a fantastic video and really felt relatable to "me and a small group of friends could do this" compared to all larger form 40k videos filmed in a studio with studio lights. This was rad. Thanks for making it and I look forward to seeing what you do in future!
An army of ultra marines, including the starting set. Is Currently $874 US. Without including time, paint, glue, pins/magnet connectors ect. Thst is an insane barrier to entery.
I’m an American. I can’t even get two combat patrols for 100 pounds. Let alone any challenge against 40k being too expensive should be out of games workshops own store. I wonder why that couldn’t happen.
Me and my buddies are dipping out toes into Blood Bowl. Split a starter for $70 each and then $40ish for other teams if we want them. Different from full 40k but at least semi affordable
Uh... you can't even get one combat patrol for that price. Maybe if you get it on sale. However, while it is an expensive hobby, I don't think it's as bad as is often claimed. For certain armies you can buy 3 or 4 combat patrols over a year or so and have a full 2000pts. Let's say that's about $500 per year. PC gaming is easily that expensive, even if you only buy games on sale, when you add in hardware upgrades every few years. Snowboarding/skiing is much more expensive. I've spent $500 in a year easy in MTG, and I'm not even playing spiky formats. Traveling will cost you that much for a single week. Going to the movies with your girlfriend every other weekend is more expensive than that. Just saying, prices are high for anything. If you spend a lot of time on it and get enjoyment out of it, then I say it's worth it, and so do you, or you wouldn't play.
I'm a first time viewer and I really enjoyed this episode. Funny, varied and a bit... top gear- ish? I mean we have four friends solving a challenge with loads of banter and fun. Variety wise, we had modelling painting and even some mini battle reports, which were a pleasant surprise. Oh and there was some amusingly familiar movie soundtracks played on what sounded like a bbc model B music computer program from 1986. I loved it. 😊
I am super grateful to have stumbled across this video/channel! Forgot how cool the I thought the Tau looked and am going to pick up a battlebox at Christmas! Loving all your LOTR content btw!
do people actually have 1,000 point tournies? I think one of the bigger challenges in the US is not only do we get everything as an "import" but people default to 2k points to the point that it can be hard to find games below that
I don't really know why you subtracted the 100 points for the 100 dollars they spent, 41 points for the orks VP and 95 for the eldars paint job (with the last one being especially out of left field), because otherwise everyone would have at least positive points and in relation to each other it didn't make any difference. Maybe divide by the amount of challenges in the end to get an average after also awarding 100 points for getting to 1000 points.
@@BattleCamperHome So how much did you spend on models and paints for that Eldar army? Gotta remember to subtract points for how much you go over the 100 pound budget.
Very entertaining video this - I do feel bad for all the loss made on the armies, they didn’t deserve such poor bids! But I guess shows we can get armies for way less than £100!
Never played this game, never bought a mini, I know very little about the universe of the 40k, and all that to say I had a great time watching this video! Such a fun looking time all around.
My strategy for this challenge would be getting the necron Ctan shard models since they're like 280pts each and can be printed quite cheap due to their size. Even buying them officially they are only like 35$.
@BattleCamper just discovered you channel from this video. Very much enjoyed it and went on to watch several others. Great work! If you are ever in Manchester please hit me up. I plan on restarting my channel next year now the kids older! Need more channela like yours, realistic wargaming perspective!
Thanks very much!! I'll certainly let you know. I hope you're able to get back out the channel. Can't imagine how difficult that is to balance with kids
Pay $250 and you pretty much have all the mechs you'd ever want. Though plastic quality is alway a pain so i'd rather have companies just license STLs of their mini's.
John would have actually eaten that crisp as well. This looks like a lot of fun and the gaming has made me glance longingly at the grey eldar waiting to get painted!
Nice of ya to get your content partner and kids in a family friendly video! Great idea and theme for a vid, definitely could do AOS, MESBG with the same format!
Amazing video, loved this.... can't believe J Macc won but his wash on white scheme was simply amazing. Then added in with those colourful 3D prints just made it so nice. good video. can;t wait for next years competition.
I think the only way of making this challenge work with no second-hand miniatures is the custodes combat patrol. You can get it for ~85 pounds and with enhancements it's a 1k list that is actually "playable" in 10e
First intro to your Channel and thoroughly enjoyed! Makes me want to try this myself! John's mini's were unreal for the time he had, you can tell he's a commissioned painter. Does he have a website from which one could procure his services?
Hayden's Standard bearer is quiet rare, it was from the SKULLZ promotion in the 90's some people pay silly money for him. Great episode. I love these kinds of challenges
"here's £100 don't exceed that for your army" "You also have points and 3D printing to do the thing. " Why not invest in 3D printed miniatures for like... £26-50 instead?
It just proves that games workshop is overpriced because they had to buy secondhand give them 100 bucks and tell them they can’t buy secondhand and see what they have
I hope you manage to recoup some of that money from the video at least hahah! Brilliant, gotta love the half naked scotsman being completely lore accurate aswell. Something to take away from this, this is 100% what wargaming is all about. Getting together with a bunch of mates crashing on the settee, airbeds or topping and tailing, munching some pizza and having a fucking fun time watching a shit film. 10/10 having the best time. Thankyou for the content
I really have to say this could be a great series very interesting take on the hobby but I would love to see the points limits drop a bit to maybe 750p for an army or change the edition because in older edition there is more room for conversions and also you need less miniatures). But great work overall
Mixed thoughts, on one hand, definitely a train wreck and some pretty sorry models collected together. Obviously it's a struggle if its 400 out of your pocket to finance this adventure, but the general premise I like. Maybe the budget is too small. I do like the challenge idea of here's your budget, go get a thousand points of an army and get it table ready, but perhaps these restrictions were too restrictive. As much as I really need to build and paint my own pile of shame, I did struggle falling asleep last night considering how I would tackle the task, what army, etc. I will be checking back periodically to see if you do another challenge like this, whether with the same group of guys or a different foursome.
in reply to the intro: you don't need to look at content creators to see how expensive warhammer is, you just need to look at how much you have left after nessassities like bills, groceries and then look at how much less new warhammer your money buys you for your money compared to before the pandemic. i used to be able to get two guard squads for under 100aud retail (or more if i got one squad and the now discontinued 5 model blister boxes) now i can only get one squad and the cheaper 2014 commissar with them for 100 aud. as for second hand there are a lot less shop fronts selling used models these days, which is a shame as used models are a great way to get models on the cheap and to get a good taste for an army. as for ebay/marketplace i see a lot of second hand stuff that is way over priced
Some brave and valiant efforts here. Mostly from the painting judges trying to say nice things about the quality of the work
Haha. I think they were fair... About the eldar at least
I think the tau looks great overall love the battle damaged look and grime on the white color, especially the 3d printed addons make them look great. Tank looks like it was painted with fingerpaints sadly.
"I'll eat it for points" 🤣 man I wish that had been clocked...
Me too! I only spotted it when editing haha
They heard theyre just a little too sensitive for the Scottish humour especially the main guy
@@robertb7643 too sensitive to watch a man eat an old crisp?

Chris' terminators going for £68 is criminal let alone the whole army! I think you should sue JMacc for market manipulation.

The Tau didn't look half bad, not surprised they sold for the most. That oil wash worked like magic.

Obviously it's a struggle if its 400 out of your pocket to finance this adventure, but the general premise I like. Maybe the budget is too small. I do like the challenge idea of here's your budget, go get a thousand points of an army and get it table ready, but perhaps these restrictions were too restrictive. As much as I really need to build and paint my own pile of shame, I did struggle falling asleep last night considering how I would tackle the task, what army, etc. I will be checking back periodically to see if you do another challenge like this, whether with the same group of guys or a different foursome.
in reply to the intro:
you don't need to look at content creators to see how expensive warhammer is, you just need to look at how much you have left after nessassities like bills, groceries and then look at how much less new warhammer your money buys you for your money compared to before the pandemic. i used to be able to get two guard squads for under 100aud retail (or more if i got one squad and the now discontinued 5 model blister boxes) now i can only get one squad and the cheaper 2014 commissar with them for 100 aud.
as for second hand there are a lot less shop fronts selling used models these days, which is a shame as used models are a great way to get models on the cheap and to get a good taste for an army. as for ebay/marketplace i see a lot of second hand stuff that is way over priced
Sad times. You guys in Aus have it harder too 😞
