These were great bud :-) Just watched Lukes VIdeo and yours now just left to check out Mr Pickles ha
So gutted I never new you did warhammer. Ex pah employee
@@jamesmichealcampbell haha! Small world! Which store were you at?
@@BenjisHobbies greyhound Park chester
Nice!!! This was a really fun collaboration, you pals had a great trip to the shop. The minis look great! :-)
Thanks Brent! It was a really fun collab, and great to get to meet up in person again 😊 Who do you think won the challenge?!
As much as I wish you could get those sort of prices online, I admire that shop's commitment to the local community over making as much money as possible online.
The local kids are luckier than they know.
They really are! I know Mark does post some stuff, so keep an eye on the Facebook page for anything you might be after 😊
Drunken Tau assembly? I'll take that challenge! Well done Benji, great video!
I’d love to see your results 😝 Thanks so much, Jon!
These look fantastic, Ben! When u said tau I was a bit like, meh... But they turned out look incredible and for only £60! Wow. Having said that I just prefer Pickle's 😂 for the amount of work put in and the finished effect of the them on the table!
Yeh, I know what you mean. I think I’d definitely pick a wiser army next time (?!) we do this sort of challenge.
So. Much. Panel. Lining. And. Edge. Highlighting.
Mate, these look stunning. You defo won the challenge!
Well, I don’t like to blow my own trumpet but 🎺 toot toot! 😜😝
Love the content Ben, every video on the channel has a great vibe about it…. Even down to the music.
P.s - Tau are everyone’s secret second army.
Tau are some of my favorite models honestly
Is it safe for us all to discuss this in public? Won’t we be branded as space commies?!
@@BenjisHobbies branded as space commies? Better than space facist like the IG. LOL😁
Nice job! Winner! It was between you and Josh and the purist in me gives you the edge due to paint job. Luke def cheated, lol!
Haha! Thanks so much! I definitely agree with you that I was the winner 😆
I wish they had stuff like this in australia, even trying to buy poorly painted half complete models off ebay you pay cost price -1%
It’s a shame, and I know it’s already expensive over there as it is!
What are you talking about Benji ... that's a great paintjob on those models! I should find some time at some stage to give a little love to my Tau army at some stage.
They were very quickly painted within about two weeks 😅 I kinda wish I’d had a bit more time to spend on them but they’re certainly good enough for the tabletop and so much better than bare plastic! I’d love to see you paint up some Tau 😊
Loved your selection of the Tau army. I would feel the same way about using someone else’s paint job, I’d want mine to be cohesive in color too. The one model that looked like it was about to fall over, looked like the previous owner was styling them fighting like John Wick, diving through the air. 😂
Haha! Yeh, I know what you mean about the diving! It’s a shame that I don’t think that was the intention 😅
Love the army! Wish that shop was closer to where I live (always love browsing hobby shops when I see them!) but I have a similar one in my town that sells secondhand too! I get nearly all my models second hand from there because it’s way more cost effective :)
It definitely is! I can’t believe the amount of stuff I got for the price!
3d printing is even cheaper.
I've been watching this colab on Josh and Luke's channels, and it looks to me like Mirfield Miniatures is pretty reliable in stocking "grade B" pre-owned miniatures; not perfect, but all decent.
I sometimes buy built, pre-owned miniatures on eBay or from Facebook Marketplace, but a lot of plastic models are damaged with globbed-on polystyrene cement or they have missing or broken parts, so it's a bit of a minefield. So yes, I can get them even cheaper than from Mirfield Miniatures, but it's not quite so risk-free or convenient.
One downside to buying built secondhand is that you don't usually get the extras that came on the sprues, and the models may not have the right gear. Lately I've bought a heap of Dark Eldar; I don't collect them or anything, but I bought some stuff that was going really cheap and somehow I've ended up with enough for a sizeable army. They have a random assortment of weapons, but I just painted them as is, because I don't know much about what they are supposed to be equipped with. I have enough spare arms and weapons though that I could have changed those bits - that's something I like about GW 40K sprues, they give you plenty of spare arms and weapons.
I've seen all three videos and you won.
Thanks! Now to go and rub it in Luke and Josh’s face 😜
How much warhammer can you buy with 50 pounds
Me (looking at the thumbnail while poorly trying to convert 50ish pounds to dollar amount): "Not nearly as much as what is in this image. Unless you want to go the recast route."
Did you watch the video?
Great video. You've got a great voice to listen to and your videos are nicely edited and a pleasant watch, You seriously deserve way more subs!
Pretty sure those "Old Necrons" were the "Androids" from Space Crusade?
Thanks so much for your kind words!
They are indeed the Chaos Androids! I’ve definitely not been scouring eBay for some since I found out 😅
Retro Land Raiders! They have Retro Land Raiders back when they were a serious tank! I wanna go!
Sorry, i started playing back when it was first edn. Haven't seen proper land raiders in about 30 years :(
Take a trip and have a look what he’s got in stock!
Psst...the 'old Necrons' are plastic Chaos Androids from Space Crusade.
I’ve been informed!
you did the best, this was a grest haul
Thanks so much 😁
Those were not Necrons.. ;-) I is often said so, but those Androids from Space Crusade were.not Necrons.
Haha! I’ve been informed since the video went out! I’ve been scouring eBay for some ever since I found out.
Well as I've said on both other channels, Luke cheated - straight down the line he cheated and went far over budget as usual - so discounted him, leaving you and picklejar who I have to admit picked various good kits for your various armies. So I have to go with my gutt and state here and now, my vote goes to you.
Thanks so much! I think I definitely won, but then again I might be just a little bit biased 😜 Either way it was a really fun challenge to be part of!
Awesome Video Benji, you got a great haul and these look really good man! Top work.
Thanks dude! Really happy with how they turned out!
@@BenjisHobbies No worries man yeah came out clean as
Yeah Benji won for sure.
I’m glad you think so! You’ve clearly got fantastic judgement 😝
Cool idea for that store to sell second hand armies and not only single minis. I should propose that idea to my local shop, I bet some people would like the opportunity to get their stuff in new loving hands
Definitely! It’s a great way of easily selling your older armies and getting some new toys in the process!
Benji, I gotta say I think you won, But, I have a soft spot in my heart for the TAU!
Thanks man! I think I won too, simply because I chose Tau 😉
Those Tau looks Awesome, but the engines on the Devil Fish are upside down.
It looks better like that 😉
What a cool store! Here where I live in Germany, there is no such thing as a second hand tabletop shop
There aren’t many here unfortunately - this shop is just a hidden gem 😊
2:10 those are not ‘old necrons’ but chaos androids 🙂
Oh really?! That’s a great titbit of information!
@@BenjisHobbies They came out in the early years during Space Crusade, but when was not mentioned ever since GW came up with the idea for Necrons. Midwinter minis did a short video about them, that I of cause can't find now 🤷♂️🤷♂️
I definitely think you got the harder army to paint and to get it all done is good going. I think it's a good idea I don't live up north otherwise I would have no money and Merfield Games would have no stock
I definitely did - Pickle spent 4 hours on his - I spent that just on edge highlighting (if not more!) When you eventually cross the wall up here we’ll have to take you 😊
@@BenjisHobbies I'm looking forward to that day when I can challenge the north, only to realise I forgot my big coat and spend the whole time by the radiator to keep warm 🤣
Give your drunk fire warrior a beer bottle or two and make a story out of him!
Now I really wish I’d done that! Is there such a thing as Tau beer?! If not, there will be!
a second hand hobbie shop sounds great, i wish here in germany we would have something like this :(
I’d never heard about the place until Luke told me about it. I’m sure there are some out there, they might just not be easy to find!
Absolute great video, it’s a shame I live nowhere near this place because I bet there’s absolute gems there. Gems that most likely have been taken by Luke, the cheating W 🤣🤣
Thanks man! I’m concerned that I’ve ruined it for myself by advertising this place because it’s going to be decimated by the time I next visit! Well worth a visit if you can get over there 😊
@@BenjisHobbies true, but the guy would have had some good business eh!!
wow it really looks great! love the color scheme!
Thanks so much 😊
“Cheating wanker”
Wise words
Haha! I like to think so 😂
I just watched all videos and you won hands down!
Haha! I’m glad you think so!
Great video, just sucks you spent it on tau
Thanks! And they’re not that bad 😜
love this wish aussie had some thing like this
They aren’t common over here, this is just a fantastic little shop!
Across the Pennines?! Is thee a Lancashire lad? Did we just witness a miniature war o t'Roses?
I am indeed (well, I live here now)! I battled my way across the Pennines to challenge them on their own turf!
@@BenjisHobbies As a Red Rose inhabitant, I approve this message. Stick it to 'em!
Wow! Amazing job! But you do come 2nd to the nighthaunt army I’m afraid!!
In Canada...you can get 4 Cyberwolves for about 50 pounds...
7:09 Have you tried sprue cutters? I haven't tried it with cheap sprue cutters, but I have a pair of expensive (and dangerous!) Tamiya sprue cutters that I find is great for removing awkward parts like that. They are so fine and sharp that they cut in very deep and the arm would probably just pop away from the body with two or three careful snips.
Great finds! Anyone know of any similar shops in the Gloucester or Bristol area? Or even Cardiff? Huddersfield is a bit far but would love to pay a visit!
Just watched the other lads videos... looks like no one managed to come in under budget 😂 Understandable considering the bargains!
It was so difficult to stay in budget. Not because things were so expensive, it was just because everything was a bargain!
My daughters shop has started selling second hand warhammer in east anglia, she too doesnt sell secondhand on line and only sells via the shop
That’s amazing! What’s the shop called? I’ll have to take a look if I’m ever down that way 😊
@@BenjisHobbies Its Everycloud vape hut in Brandon. She sells both new and secondhand Warhammer minatures, books etc.
Gotta give you the win on this one, but Josh did great too! fun videos all around.
Thanks so much! I’ll go and rub it in Luke and Josh’s faces now 😝
@@BenjisHobbies 🤣
I like the Tau too :) Probably because they seem really wholesome and straightforward but then you have hints that it's not all quite so rosy with characters like Farsight and his 'disagreement' with the Ethereals. Also it's hilarious that people label them both Communist and 'not Grimdark enough'... do they actually know anything about Communism? It's basically as Grimdark as modern history gets, and unlike 40k, it actually happened so that makes it much worse.
I’ve just finished Farsight and half way through Crisis of Faith. No spoilers 😛
@@BenjisHobbies Honestly I haven't read the books yet, just know the general history.
Great video mate. Looked like tons of fun and a store like that would be both the best and worst thing for me to have nearby lol the mini's came out great too. Keep it up mate! 🤘😎🔥
Thanks matey! You definitely need to take a trip over there - it’s worth the pilgrimage!
£50 is $95.56 AUD🎉 I was only going to $100 AUD
Thank you , Ben .
Nice force good job .
(You have been SUBBED ! )
IMO you are the winner of the challenge .
Aww thanks! I really appreciate the support and the new sub!
@@BenjisHobbies My pleasure .
I think you got the best lot
Thanks! I certainly think so!
They look fantastic! I wish there was somewhere like that in Cornwall!
I had no idea this place existed until I was told about it. Who knows… there might be somewhere like this in Cornwall!
I think your choice was definitely in the spirit of the challenge, even if you went with the dirty, dirty Tau.
Haha! Yeh, I know what you mean - they definitely did the challenge on ‘easy’ mode!
@@BenjisHobbies Had to edit, even IF you chose the dirty Tau.
Fifty pounds is just under $70 US. If I pulled off that kind of haul for seventy dollars I would be over the moon.
But the other videos mentioned getting bags of bits for repairs and conversions. Did you not think to get a bag, or did Mark not offer one? To me, adding extra bits to models is one of my favorite parts of building.
Again, im terms of a straight-up fifty pound challenge, you won it.
@@bopaintsminis if I’d have asked I’m sure I’d have been able to pick up some bits 😊 BUT I felt like I had enough of a challenge on my hands without converting models as well. Next time I’ll do things differently, though 😉
What a fantastic shop! Like you said a real Aladdin’s cave. I could spend hours in there. The Tau looked cool once you were done too.
You should take a trip over if you’re able to! It’s well worth a look round 😊
I would love to but it’s a bit out of my way unfortunately, by about 270 miles. If I’m around Leeds / Bradford / Wakefield in the future I’ll try and get over to Mirfield to check it out though.
This shop is what I hope the afterlife is like. I will have to make a trip to it if I ever cross the pond.
¡El esquema de color esta sumamente genial!, que gran gran trabajo :D
We have a winner
Haha! Thank you! 😆
You only spent 67 pounds on all that!? That’s awesome!
Awesome army
Thanks man! Glad you like it 😊
Great Vid Ben!!
Thanks so much 😄
Everyone always has a gloomhaven box.
4:58 "... I like their more positive and progressive perspective of the Universe..." I guess that "Join Us or Die" is more positive than most factions, which range from "Join Us and Die" to just "Die". That's a handsome looking Tau Army; maybe you can call them the "Syxt'eepownd Sept"?
Haha! I guess 😅 They just seem far less bleak than any of the other races! I know if I were in the 40k universe I’d want to live as one of the Tau!
Love it, wish I could find decent small and large armies. Too many resellers online buying up gorgeous armies then chopping them up to sell each model for 10-15 then scamming 15-30 extra in shipping, and they usually don't even make out because they just bid hoard all the armies online to chop them up.
That is a shame! I guess you’ve just got to be quick on local selling sites, Facebook marketplace, gumtree etc to find some good stuff!
nice to see one of you selected a 40k force! I may have to venture over the Pennines to this magical, mystical land of Mirfield myself at some point
You won’t regret it, I can assure you! Take all your pocket money!
Great video you definitely won
Thanks dude, I’m glad you think so!
Winner.
Thanks for your vote! 😄
Haha "cheating wanker"
This one gets my vote because you put the most effort in :D
Subscribing as well.
Haha! Yeh, they took a little more time than Luke and Josh’s 😅 And thanks so much for the sub!
bravo. nice job homie
A photograph of an army
You’ve made this army look amazing -and I don’t even like Tau!!! Awesome rescue job and a great final result!!! 👍
Ah thanks so much! I’m glad you think so 😊
Really enjoyed this, thank you. Super keen to see how the Tau pan out in combat, good luck
Thank you for watching! I am too, although from what I hear they’re not all that good 😅 Maybe if they get a new Codex they might stand a chance!
So happy you guys did a video on Mirfield Miniatures, it's a fantastic shop
It really is! It definitely deserves some love! 😊
Wish there was a cheap second hand mini's shop near me. There used to be. But their prices have shot through the roof. So much so that I might as well buy new.
That’s such a shame! I’m so pleased to have discovered Mirfield!
Much as I like the old Shadowsun model, the new one is really worth getting.
Also, good bargains you picked up.
If the new Shadowsun had been there she would have been coming home with me, no questions asked! She’s definitely one of the next models I’ll be adding to this army though. The new model is great!
Those necrons look sweet.
Luke got good value overall.
Think I will take a trip down there next month.
Do it - you won’t regret it! Get saving your pocket money!
Awesome challenge. I like how you each put your personal touches on the armys you purchased. Unfortunately you all went over budget so therefore no one won. I think you all will have to redo this challenge in the near future.😉 Of the three I liked your selection and your paint scheme the best.
I like your thinking. We absolutely 100% need a rematch in this one! I’ll give one of the other guys a chance to take the crown 😜
Oh awesome! This shop is half an hour's drive from me and I often have to drive to Dewsbury for work anyway really close to this shop. Will have to go check it out.
Although one slight criticism, when pricing stuff it'd be good to use cheaper store prices as well as GW retail prices, just because for some insane reason GW is by far the most expensive place to buy new stuff.
Definitely worth popping in to if you’re in the area!
Most 3rd party retailers are anything from 10-25% off, so it’s easy to work out what the prices from there would be.
@@BenjisHobbies yeah just been in this afternoon - picked up a space marine drop pod for £12 and a Venerable Dreadnought for £15. It's a nice little shop.
Lovely looking Tau. I'd say you won over Pickle and Luke was clearly disqualified. 👍
Thanks so much! I’ll go and rub it in Josh’s face now 😜 Luke 100% cheated and I’m glad you agree!
That's such a good haul! I just spent $70 Canadian on some Hellblasters
I was really pleased with haul, and I honestly couldn’t choose what I wanted from all the cool stuff that was there! I’m definitely a convert to second hand models!
I think you won based on the painting. I'm not a huge Tau fan, but you cleaned them up really nicely.
Thanks dude! Yeh, I didn’t think it through when I got my army and probably underestimated how much work was needed 😅
Ok, I watched all three videos and I think that you won. They look great ^^
Thanks so much! 😊
looks awesome man
Well done to Josh and yourself for sticking to the intent of the challenge, good one you guys. I'm giving the nod to you for your efforts.
Thanks Tom! We’ll definitely have to have a rematch on this one.
Temptation to re collect my little tau army from 2006 rising !
Do it! And go and get them cheap from Mirfield Miniatures!
I would love to go that shop....why you left us, now I need a travel pass...
If it’s any consolation, I voted to remain 😔
i think the thrusters on that devilfish are on backwards
We’ll call it a ‘stylistic choice’ 😉
You're really making me want to start a Tau army now Ben, damn you!! They looked lovely once painted up.
They turned out better than expected, especially seen as they were really quick paint jobs!
Don't waste your money just buy a 3d printer and print your own even with the printer cost it will work out far cheaper.
Where do I find these places in Wisconsin?!?!
I have no idea I’m afraid! If they don’t exist then open one 😜
Excellent video man the colab is excellent 🙌
Thanks man! We’ll have to get you involved with one!
@@BenjisHobbies yeah definitely that would be a laugh
This was a great video to watch!
Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊
i think i saw a metal etheral(sp?)...will i be right?
haha my eagle eye was right!
Good spot!
Love the collabs you guys do
Thanks! This was a REALLY fun collab to be part of 😊
@@BenjisHobbies for me it speaks to the camaraderie of us hobby fans. To see it between content creators speaks to that harmonious culture you help foster and promote. You got my sub😉
Thumbs down for the ridiculous "shocked face" in the preview every youtuber does these days....
Thanks… So despite the hours (days?) of recording, painting and editing that went in to this video you decide to give me a thumbs down for the thumbnail? 😐
My Harlequin codex was 20 quid on it's own. Then you need the Whote Dwarf with the new rules or that other book, and then a rule book. Have we hit 50 quid yet as I haven't got a model yet.
2nd had is the way to go though how do you guys feel about 3d printing etc?
I mean, the video was never about buying all the rules etc so I’m not sure what the point you’re making is?
We’ve all got 3D printers and I did a discussion in one of my video a while ago about using 3D printed parts with my Middle Earth miniatures. Nothing against them at all. I’m not a fan, however, of being edgy and using a 3D printer to be ‘anti-GW’ though.
Just buy a 3d printer
I have one 🤷🏼♂️
I hate the Tau because the faction was just a lazy attempt to attract weeaboos to the hobby and it failed miserably. They need a drastic redesign.
