    GW recuperates their expenses on master molds in 6 months.
    The packaging costs more than the models themselves. A sprue of Primaris Marines is about 30 cents to manufacture including the materials. The box they go in however...
    You need to paint a set of the models, photograph them, get the card stock, print the images, laminate them, dye cut them, fold them, glue them, add the upcs to the inventory, pack the bases in plastic, put the product in the box, put the box in a separate sleeve with new art work that had to be commissioned and designed and labeled and photographed and so on so on...
    And then you have to ship those boxes.

    On the subject of Chaos Culists, games workshop for years encouraged conversion and kitbashes from other kits like Necromunda and guard, when traitor guard came out in BSF, I regularly used them as cultist proxies. I don’t think GW minds most conversions as long as it’s their products and GW is such a diverse range where I think it’s possible to have cadian shock troops for Alpha Legion or Orlock gangers as iron warriors. It’s all about fun and flavor IMO.

    The chaos cultists sprues become less confusing when you realize they just took the existing sprues that came with the Blackstone Fortress game and put that sprue in a stand-alone box with no changes. Why are there 8 cultists? Because that’s how many show up during that encounter in Blackstone. Same reason they’re monopose, they’re more board game pieces than they are 40K models.

    It is funny because your well founded issue with monopose making a kit bad is actually a major selling point for me. I have so many models still unpainted and on the sprue because I hate building. Blades make me nervous and I despise plastic glue and sand paper for ADHD sensory reasons. So seeing some cool games workshop model that I just have to snip and paint with minimal building? That sounds like a dream.

  • @BlastedRodent
    @BlastedRodent Рік тому +8

    About Forge World, they still have a purpose as the place to sell ultra-niche models that it doesn’t make sense to make in plastic. Things like Necromunda hangers-ons, Blood Bowl star players and Horus Heresy named characters (at least until HH becomes big enough to support them in plastic. The small scale of resin production allows for some bonkers models with extremely limited application that I doubt would ever be greenlit in plastic, and for games like Necromunda, that is just what you need. But for everything else, yes, Forge World is redundant. I think GW knows that too, when was the last time anything for 40k was released there?

    • @kristianjensen5877
      @kristianjensen5877 Рік тому +4

      I think Forgeworld also has a place for super detailed models needing an ultra-crisp finish to work.
      Models with a lot of filligree/embellishment and highly distinct faces still seem like a bit of a challenge to get right using injection molds.
      At least personally, I feel like I can tell there's quite a difference between ex. a FW resin contemptor (with legion/chapter embellishments) and a standard plastic GW produced model when it comes to the crispness of the details.

      I actually like the idea for them. Reminds me of the Drukhari scourges or even Crisis battlesuits in terms of role of being heavy weapon carrying units that can zip and fly around instead of being just another boring static gunline expected of traditional heavy weapon carrying units. My problem with them is the execution. For one, they look derpy as heck, I get they want their jump pack to look lighter than Inceptors but they just doubled the exhaust ports of standard space marine backpacks. They could've done something like in Khayvan Shrike's jump pack, where they added thrust nozzles to them, it makes them look less derpy while making them look lighter than Inceptor jump packs. Another problem I have with them are their rules, why are their weapons Heavy instead of Assault? At least give them special rules of allowing them to move and shoot with no penalties to hit.

    I started an Ork army after the glow up, with the big beast snaggas release and the commandos (I always loved them, but the old bodies didn't do it for me, I was indeed waiting for a redesign). I got the start collecting and the christmas box (the one with the trike and the plane) and ended up with 4 of the boys kit. I converted them with an old boys kit, together with the old nobz kit, they really give you all the parts you need to make the models all different and actually good looking.
    You gotta chop the new models at the shoulders and heads, try to be clean so you can reuse some of them on other bodies, together with the ones from the old boyz kit. The old kit has A LOT of wonderful spare parts and little things to make models unique - little note, all new boys have a granade on them, I cut most of them and added in other places for variety, also try to customize shoulder pads and always switch heads. The game changer for me was the nobz kit, because it has 20 shoulder pads to cover the joints (they are big for old standards, they go on perfectly) I mostly used just glue and very little green stuff
    Now I got 30 boyz with slugga and choppa, plus the one with the big shoota. The total number would be 36 (9 in each box) but I used 5 to make a unit of burnas. You can use the standing poses, cutting at the waist and fuse with the upper bodies from the old burna kit using green stuff, this is a little trickier tho. The only other modification were 1 mm thick 'pads' of green stuff before attaching the arms, as to make them a little bulkier.
    P.s. I still ended up buying another kit to reach 4 full squads lol
    Remember the nobz kit? You can use the arms and heads to customize the nob in the new kit, they actually work wonders but you need green stuff again. Overall I am really happy with the result, having to do so much conversion will make you feel like a true ork :D and the old kits are top quality and must buy for sure. The new kit really feels like it should be in a launch box, I completely agree the should make a true hybrid one (and put some bitz ffs, they are orks!)

    The reason why Suppressors aren't offered in a separate kit is because the community, for the most part, hates those models. No one would purchase them as a stand alone kit, GW knows this so they are forced to lump them in with other product. Let's face it, Primaris has a lot of lame releases starting with Reavers and culminating in a Mario cart quad whatever These guys are just part of a long line of goofy failures. Look at them. Extremely oversized heavy weapons on a mobile jump trooper. Giant boots. Minuscule jump pack. Poorly designed flight stand. I could go on, but it's not necessary. There will be the rare individual that likes them, no doubt. The rest of us have taste and demand better.

    I think you’re wrong about forge world resin. Middle earth SBG models that are made by forge world are fantastic! Insanely detailed! The new Glorfindel model for example is phenomenal and will win GW’s miniature of the year award

      I know this is a year old comment, but I reckon the Glorfindel model could easily be cast in GW plastic and have the same detail. Look at the detail on the plastic Tahlia Vedra kit for Age of Sigmar, or the Freeguild Cavaliers.

    Why would anyone buy low quality GW/FW resin when almost every recaster has better quality for cheaper. It happens so much that you can tell something is a recast due to how good the quality is.

      I'm not sure how that works but “I’ll Allow It”.
      I remember when GW failed to properly switch there metal models over to resin but still made a price hike even though resin was cheaper then metal.

    Isn’t what you’re explaining about the con with the primaris marine kits just pretty much the summary of WYSIWYG?
    No one really minds using whatever weapon on your models, it just gets confusing when people know what the actual weapons that the model is meant to have look like but have to remind themselves it’s a different weapon. So they introduced WYSIWYG in competition/events/tournaments.
    I wouldn’t quite call that an issue with the kit itself, more an issue with the rules of either competitive formats or the rules for the given unit in regards to their ability to mix and match weapons within said unit.
    That being said, can we just take a minute here to reflect on the fact that both first born Dreadnought kits are horrible.
    Regular Dreadnought:
    2 main weapons; Assault-cannon, Twin-Las.
    2 offhand weapons; Missile Launcher, Power fist.
    Venerable Dreadnought:
    3 main weapons; Assault-cannon, TwinLas, Plasma.
    3 offhand weapons; HeavyFlammer, Storm-bolter, Power fist.
    Yes while the Venerable Dreadnought kit does give an 80 piece sprue with some aesthetic upgrades/alternatives, but at AUD$74 and AUD$79 (with the regular Dreadnought kit being regularly out of stock) it doesn’t change the fact that if you’re building the Venerable kit you’re basically having to buy a 2nd kit just for a missile launcher or if you’re building the regular Dreadnought then a 2nd kit for plasma (heavy flamer or storm-bolter also, which does work out a bit more for what you get vs what you pay but not by much) and due to this end up with a 2nd Dreadnought kit which will be most likely not running the load out you want due to missing a third box.

    New Ork Boyz are kinda bad, but IMHO perfect way of selling Ork Boyz would be selling "old" kit of 10 boyz AND 5 sprues of even older (but in line with current) Boyz that had 4 models each (similar to Termagants etc. the one from 16 pack from early 2000s).

  • @ericconnor8419

    I used to play and collect Warhammer a long time ago. When I came back to the hobby I was stunned by the prices and how boring the faces have become. They used to be designed and made by hand, every artist had a unique recognisable sculpting style. Most models were metal. Now nearly everything is plastic and it looks like it was knocked up in Blender, every face is symmetrical they look very bland. The increased detailing of armour and weapons is impressive but it does not make up for the loss of soul and individual character.
    I could cope with that if they lowered prices to reflect the ease and speed of production, but they are relatively MORE EXPENSIVE. I make my own or buy elsewhere, it is ironic because I actually have money now I was poor in the 90s. The only thing I have bought from GW are their excellent technical paints, some novels and a pack of Meganobz I could not resist. I would never pay a tenner for one plastic character designed 15 years ago and made from 5p worth of material.

    Note: Forge World began in 1999, not 2004.
    And respect is due to them for being the designers of titans, super heavy tanks, primarchs and the entire Horus Heresy line. It’s one thing to say that the price and quality of resin sculpts from 10-20 years ago isn’t as good as 2022, but you come off as a petty brat to say Forge World should close shop and disappear. Grow up, kid.

  • @lordvladekc4846
    @lordvladekc4846 Рік тому

    Regarding your problems with the weapons of the Primaris Space Marines, as an Age of Sigmar player it baffles me that WYSIWYG is still a thing in 40k. Imo, if you want realism go play a historical wargame. Warhammer is silly enough that you can use your imagination to have a squad use the weapons you need them to, and be able to model them with whatever looks the coolest.
    Anyway, thanks for the vid!

    Chaos spawn is one of the worst kits they sell. 50 dollars buys you two 23-25 point models (depends on your codex) and the kit itself is pretty damn old. They are one of my favorite units but me and just about every chaos player i know kitbashes/proxies/buys 3rd market for them.

  • @dwhisper79

    The only reason the old Ork Boyz kit is still around is likely that it has the Spanner arm in it for two of the loadout builds, and 1 Spanner is a required include for every 4 Lootas. Said arm isn't available in the Loota kit, which is just so, so stupid.

    Disagreeing with the Leviathan here. Coming more plastic horus heresy stuff is great for your wallet. When they make the legion specific stuff that will be great!
    I like my legion to look like they are from my legion, and not the same as the next dude's. To me at least that is worth the extra bucks. ( That said till they do make legion specific stuff i will not be digging to deep into horus heresy either )
    Primaris i absolutely agree on. Rescently bought a kill team box set, and the primaris marines in there have been a absolute joy to paint.

    I'm really disappointed that there haven't been more focus on the derpiness of GW kits. The 4-track IG transporter and their new tank make no sense for one. There are also a lot of models, particularly of the ghostly undead variety, that are so frail that parts break off at the slightest provocation.
    Where are the AoS models? A lot of them are very derpy.

    I'm actually one of those weirdos who hate Primaris Marines. Some Primaris Models are better than others but there's a weird aesthetic about them which isn't as endearing as mk.6 Marines. Intercessors are pretty awful in that way, so I will probably substitute models I like better design wise.

    on the other hand, they just do not seem to have enough helmets on pictures.
    i really hate that gw sometimes forces u to use a model without helmet.
    as soon as i notice this, i try to get a helmet from wherever. i even cut apart a 2006 spacemarine just to have a helmet on a primaris.
    i just cant get over the thought that super space soldiers in super space armor which practice on the worst battlefields do not wear a helmet xd
