For those who stick around for the credits, do you like the new setup? The effect is cool, but we were concerned people may not like it. Also, when we hit 98-99k subs I'll post the Q&A community post for people to toss questions in and vote for ones they want to see answered. So look for that sometime soon! Also for those wondering, no we didn't know Auspex would cover the exact same topic on the exact same day. It was bound to happen eventually and with Auspex's upload rate it's bound to happen again. His video was cool too though, go check it out.
Eric is that teacher who absolutely refuses to deviate from the grading rubric. You find a different way of presenting the solution and he’ll dock you marks just for making him have to think it over.
Yeah because that's extra work nobody wants to fucking do. "Oh I found a new method" shut the fuck up you just gave both of us two more hours of this shit. You need to explain the method and I need to compare it, and that was _entirely_ avoidable had you _just used the_ *Throne-damned* _GIVEN METHOD._
@@sam3drinks Magnus, and it’s not even close. Superman is weak to magic (IE he gets affected the same way a normal person would), and so Magnus just turns him inside out.
Fun Fact: in an interview on Jordan Sorcery, a game dev literally said that they try not to give everyone the same things so they can feel more unique (probably why Guard don’t have modern jetpacks and SMs don’t get jet bikes in 40k), and the wraiths were literally stated to be the Aeldari equivalent of Terminators
Eric is always so down on custodes, and the fact that hes a GK player makes it so much better because GK and 'stodes are always at odds with each other lmao Just face it Eric, your grey knights just dont have the luster that stodes do! All that glitters may not be gold, but sometimes its fucking Auramite!
@@Argorok87 ^This. "So strong it became something else" is just nonsense. The Custodes Terminators completed their assignment. It's unreasonable to punish them for going above and beyond the call of duty. That's the kind of thing that makes students decide to stop trying and just work to rule. And no one wants that.
Yes, he saw The Command Phase's visuals for factions on one of their episodes, got jealous, and spent the next 2 days watching tutorials and whipping those up. Shout out to The Command Phase for the extremely cool visual flair.
Custodes are just better Space Marines. Custodes Terminators are just better Space Marine Terminators. Paragon warsuits are an incredibly fragile faction trying to make a brick. You're comparing "Daddy's special boys" being better just to be better vs someone trying to catch up with everyone else.
@@borklazer5907 The Custodes did above and beyond the standard in the Space Marines, and should've gotten, at minimum, an A for the bonus points from the Deep Strike given everything else was good. Punishing a faction for being "too good" at it is a stupid statement and should be ridiculed unendingly and forever, because this entire video discusses it as giving grades as teachers. Tell me, if you turned in an assignment to your teacher, did everything she/he asked, and did it better than the grading rubric's highest score suggested, would it make sense for your teacher to dock you 9 points because you're too good at it? TLDR; Stop defending stupid bias, it makes you look like an idiot.
I feel like, based on what i know about 10th, you should do an episode on tank killers. Ostensibly, because i think trying to show off each faction's way to deal with an opponent would be interesting. But actually, because i want to listen to Eric be disappointed in his Grey Knights more.
About GK terminators, the spacer trick does work. You will have to shave down the spacers a bit for proper posing, and to avoid having a wasp waist, but even a thin spacer makes a lot of difference. Also, if you are doing this you will have to add spacers between the torso and the arms as well to broaden them out a bit in order to keep their proportions. The best way to do this is to get a sprue frame and slice a THIN piece out and stick it between the arms and the torso. You won't need much and any more than 1mm will be too much, but it will make the terminators look very good.
Allarus Custodians are just the terminator version of the Custodes statline, whereas Paragon Warsuits are double the battleline infantry's toughness, quadruple the wounds, faster instead of slower, don't have deep strike, and are vehicles. All the issues Eric had with Allarus Custodians are even more egregious with the Warsuits, plus some more. Great episode though, can't wait for next week :)
For the Votann Hearthguard, you CAN get both an invuln and deep strike! Attatched characters also come with a crest wargear option, and you'll pretty much always attatch a character to Hearthguard to get their bodyguard ability. An attatched Kahl can give the entire unit a 5+ invuln (or deep strike, but you get that from the squad leader anyway), or an attatched Einhyr Champ can get the same crest option (personal invul or deep strike).
The fact we have to say "No no, our captain let's the termies get an invul" makes me so sad. Our factions thing is supposed to be slow and tough, but not having a standard invul and trading a wound for a toughness (definitely a downgrade) on our beefiest toughest infantry is borderline pathetic.
Eric really looked at a unit with "Terminator" in its name, has the exact stats expected of a Terminator, and is literally just a Terminator, but because it's a Golden Boy he gets pissy.
Meganobz are such Orky fun. Imagining some Mekboy in times past checking out Terminators and furiously taking notes. Then giving his boyz a cooler and sillier name. Good work, Orks.
I almost want to offer up Killa Kanz as the Ork terminator. They have 2 wounds too many, one less save, but they have an invuln while still being mostly right for move, toughness, shooting and melee.
For Wraithblades I feel like you need to look at the Spirit Seer - Nobody would ever run them without - In lore or on the table. That way they get Regen and Hitting on 3+ - Also since they are Eldar Infantry they got more movement shenanigans than any other faction, so I feel like Deepstrike would be overkill.
Custodes are space marines but better they are perfect in every way for it if they were T5 and 3. Wounds that would be worse than a custodes guard squad so t7 And 4 wounds is 1 extra than a custodes guard squad but tougher. And all custodes have 3 wounds and t6
I thought it would be fun to do an episode on factions "Lone Ranger", a loan operative character that is some sort of blender, I'm thinking Kelermorph, Hexamark Destroyer, or Solitaire equivalent!
I feel like Eric was wayyyy too pedantic for Custodes Terminator. A-? Really? For being 'too good at terminator'? And you give the Exalted 8 bound who are way different *also* an A-. Or fuck, the Sisters Paragon Warsuit which just also does 'better' terminator.
As a Votann player I feel like Hearthguard should go down a step because 2 wound’s really sucks. There are way more 2 wound weapons than 3 wound weapons, so having a model eat 2 attacks instead of having 2 models dead makes a huge difference.
You said C+ but gave my T'au boys an A+ in the video. Can't take it back now - now you have to do an "Every factions Crisis Battle Suits" episode (which means we'll finally see Centurions in a faction comparison).
I feel like the homework should have been: to be a Terminator, you need +1 toughness, +1 wound, +1 to save and -1-2" move. That wouldve solved the allarus question imo
As soon as this video popped into my feed, I knew it was gonna be the day where my darling aberrants were going to get their day in the grading pile. Honestly shocked they shook out so well!
Hi Brad and Eric, have been listening to you guys a lot on Spotify and out of all the episodes you upload my favourite ones by far are the ranking/ homework assignment episodes like this one. Hope there are more to come in the future and keep up the good work
To defend the A- for Votann, if they are lead by a kahl with a rampart crest the whole unit gets a 5+ invuln and then the squad themselves get to take the teleport crest checking both boxes but maybe the fact that you need a character to become terminators docks them points too. Great video!
My World Eaters friend is longing for the day that 40k World Eaters get the Red Butchers. They are such a neat concept. Heck, I would like to see a Blood Angels version for Death Company.
My theory is GW doesn't want to make them for 40k, because Eightbound but will probably cave to the overwhelming push from the community. Our Terminators don't even have a leader and are trash. Drop them for Red Butchers. But at the same time, I don't know how much different they could be from Eightbound, gameplay-wise. I see Juggernaut Cavalry and Berzerker Surgeons coming out before Red Butchers, in my opinion. Who knows though? Maybe all 3 will drop.
@@woahhbro2906 True, there are only so many ways you can do 'melee killy marine elite'. Personally, I think the solution would be to change Eightbound to better reflect the daemon-side - reduce their durability but lean more into the fun mobility options. Then Red Butchers could be the tankier but slower lot.
@@tiredtortoise3396 Agreed. The two different Eightbound/Exalted units are too similar and look too similar as well. I'd say keep the Exalted Eightbound for anti-tank targets and drop regular Eightbound and replace them with Red Butchers who kill infantry (essentially what regular Eightbound do now)
Entertaining from start to finish, as usual! But holy moly, good to know you are NOT teachers... some aweful grading inconsistencies there. As a student I would be furious once again! Also: Berilio is just knocking it out of the park! Those faction intros are sweet, and that summary at the end... *chef kiss* so good!
Episode idea: Grading Every Faction's Leman Russ (reasonably cheap vehicle that fills the role of a main battle tank and has variable primary and secondary weapon options)
For what it's worth, CSM has a secondary option (albeit not necessarily A+ material) that they could've turned in, instead of copying loyalist homework. Possessed. They're huge, chunky, similar base size, 3 wounds, and slap in melee (although mainly due to Dark Pacts and dev wounds). They can't shoot, have too high toughness and speed, and worse save, but that's about where the differences end. A third, and significantly shootier option, would be obliterators.
I got into a warhammer store a few days ago and i was actually tempted to get some Paragon Warsuits or maybe the Nundam herself, but i instead bought a second set of Kataphrons for my Mechanicus army
I've now watched all your videos over the last month. Just went and bought my first minis ever. Because of my hours of dedication I'm asking that you now validate me and include Kroot in every ranking video. I'm a kroot fan and I'm planting my flag in Pek and I'm never leaving. I don't care how many future battles I lose. I'm kroot forever! Love the vids guys! Thanks for getting me started in this weird hobby.
Knowing that both auspex and poorhammer recorded these episodes prior to the knowledge of each other then released it 5 hours from each other is pretty funny
I haven't played in years. I watched this entire video because 1- it was well made and a lot of fun. 2- I wanted to know how Thousand Son Terminators compared to normal space Marines. I was also excited to learn about Grey Knights... Although they really need those hammers.
Thousand Sons have normal terminators (Scarabs), small terminators (Rubrics), fast melee terminators (spawn), and giant terminators (vortex beasts). We've earned that A+
You should do one where someone who isn't a Space Marine gets an auto-pass. Maybe a caltrop unit? Like the cannon fodder one, but more focused on "My purpose in life is to get underfoot." The Nurgling would be the shoo-in for that one.
Blud is trying to justify Custodes losing points for having too many HP. That's dumb as hell. "You're doing your job too well, we have docked you points"
Honestly the funny thing with necrons is that I think in lore lychguards are probably bigger than terminators in every dimension, but the nature of the necrons is such that you don't really seem notably large unless you go out of your way to become a massive abomination suited only for battle. The one exception to this is Vargard Obyron, who is consistently described as an absolute unit even by the standards of other necrons. This is actually why they had to make him legends, he was intimidating the other units.
Ah yes, sleeveless 8 bound is just plain silly but the thousand sons walking around with a giant sphynx/cobra thing on their head is both sensible and cool 👍🏻😂
ive been waiting for this one for a while. Every Factions Librarian next please. i want TSons to get an A+ and to highlight how Dark Eldar need something like an Etherial where they have a Homonculus who can weave waves of pain or something.
I would almost have put forwards wraiths for the necrons. Have one more wound and toughness, and move too fast, but they have the invuln and they have shooting that wasn’t worth it until the wargear was free. Likewise, Ophidians nail the toughness, wounds and deepstrike, but are too fast with a worse save.
I just put together some 30k Termies. I cut 1-2mm of the sprue they come on and added this as the spacer between legs/torso. Some cork underneath helps too.
This series is a neat way of showing the math and such underneath the skins: how despite the aesthetic differences many units are kind of the same unit for game purposes across factions
@@LordCrate-du8zmIt's rare to see Ork Tau kitbashes (I only ever see the Devilfish with wheels), but I don't think it's wrong. At worst, if scale ultimately doesn't work, you can still say it's a custom character.
Yea, don't try to break your grey knight terminators into half folks. Also when I assembled mine I bought a bunsh of printed "true scale" legs online. There are some that are specifically for grey knights and they look great on them.

I got into a warhammer store a few days ago and i was actually tempted to get some Paragon Warsuits or maybe the Nundam herself, but i instead bought a second set of Kataphrons for my Mechanicus army
1 in the morning in aus. Just got my new Tau codex and Kroot army. And then this video...hell yes
"oh Custodes have 2 more toughness and 1 more wound, you did too good at the assignment." Man, teachers really are arbitrary.
I've now watched all your videos over the last month. Just went and bought my first minis ever. Because of my hours of dedication I'm asking that you now validate me and include Kroot in every ranking video. I'm a kroot fan and I'm planting my flag in Pek and I'm never leaving. I don't care how many future battles I lose. I'm kroot forever! Love the vids guys! Thanks for getting me started in this weird hobby.
Knowing that both auspex and poorhammer recorded these episodes prior to the knowledge of each other then released it 5 hours from each other is pretty funny
Just got done listening to the audio twice.
Now it's time to listen again on the TV
"So they spent all night with the paper mache working on this!" 🤣
Lmao Bricky merch dropping at the end killed me 😂
I haven't played in years. I watched this entire video because
1- it was well made and a lot of fun.
2- I wanted to know how Thousand Son Terminators compared to normal space Marines. I was also excited to learn about Grey Knights... Although they really need those hammers.
Thousand Sons have normal terminators (Scarabs), small terminators (Rubrics), fast melee terminators (spawn), and giant terminators (vortex beasts). We've earned that A+
I love how each faction is talked about like an acutaky student. I think it adds so much more character to the factions.
You should do one where someone who isn't a Space Marine gets an auto-pass. Maybe a caltrop unit? Like the cannon fodder one, but more focused on "My purpose in life is to get underfoot." The Nurgling would be the shoo-in for that one.
Blud is trying to justify Custodes losing points for having too many HP. That's dumb as hell. "You're doing your job too well, we have docked you points"
He’s a Grey Knights player, what do you expect?
I didn't even realize I was this early until I started reading these comments, well, here's to hoping the necrons score high!
My hope has been crushed and my dreams ruined
I love Bricky doing the advertisement. He must have had a lot of fun with that one.
Honestly the funny thing with necrons is that I think in lore lychguards are probably bigger than terminators in every dimension, but the nature of the necrons is such that you don't really seem notably large unless you go out of your way to become a massive abomination suited only for battle. The one exception to this is Vargard Obyron, who is consistently described as an absolute unit even by the standards of other necrons. This is actually why they had to make him legends, he was intimidating the other units.
Next episode should be a tier list of Poorhammer podcasts episodes
Ah yes, sleeveless 8 bound is just plain silly but the thousand sons walking around with a giant sphynx/cobra thing on their head is both sensible and cool 👍🏻😂
I mean yeah, I can get sleeveless angry jocks at any gym, it takes dedication and skill to not break your neck holding up those giant hats
ANOTHER POORHAMMER UPLOAD RAHHHH
ive been waiting for this one for a while.
Every Factions Librarian next please.
i want TSons to get an A+ and to highlight how Dark Eldar need something like an Etherial where they have a Homonculus who can weave waves of pain or something.
Every factions’ war dog next time? Tailor the assignment so the gundam exchange student can participate?
I listen to these on my commute, and the suddeness of the Feral Brickle ad had me cackling
The guard’s terminator armor is their giant balls of steel
Wraithblades also get bonus durability - stick a spiritseer with them and watch them get back up again once you manage to knock 'em down 😊
I would almost have put forwards wraiths for the necrons. Have one more wound and toughness, and move too fast, but they have the invuln and they have shooting that wasn’t worth it until the wargear was free.
Likewise, Ophidians nail the toughness, wounds and deepstrike, but are too fast with a worse save.
I’d love to see a comparison of each factions captain. That mid range unit that often has multiple load outs and even different models sometimes
I just put together some 30k Termies. I cut 1-2mm of the sprue they come on and added this as the spacer between legs/torso. Some cork underneath helps too.
Just have to say, the notebook with inking and the grades, beautiful, just beautiful. Classy way for the wrap up of the show.
This series is a neat way of showing the math and such underneath the skins: how despite the aesthetic differences many units are kind of the same unit for game purposes across factions
Looks like the T'au slide away with an accidental A+! But being the goody two shoes we are we will tell the teacher that they gave us an A
I saw a picture someone made of beefed up Paragon suits that look about one thousand times better than the normal design.
The Pedro insert is so perfect
Just in time to paint my Meganobz 😁
I plan on kitbashing some Meganobz with Crisis Suits (for the "Orks stole our shit" experience), how possible would that be?
@@LordCrate-du8zmIt's rare to see Ork Tau kitbashes (I only ever see the Devilfish with wheels), but I don't think it's wrong. At worst, if scale ultimately doesn't work, you can still say it's a custom character.
@@DominatorLegend I see. Thanks bro!
Yea, don't try to break your grey knight terminators into half folks. Also when I assembled mine I bought a bunsh of printed "true scale" legs online. There are some that are specifically for grey knights and they look great on them.
for harlequins it's easy.back objective holder ? troupe
support fire ? troupe
mid objective controller ? troupe
generic bruiser ? troupe
