I cant figure out if this is either a video talking about how cool warhammer is or just a way to roast league more😂
why not both
Yes
I'm so happy for Mat. He found his passion and has so much fun. He doesn't look tired like before. But it's a bit sad for me because I absolutely can't get in strategy games like Warhammer. I want him to continue with it since I want the best for him. But it hurts how whenever I come to this channel and see how little he has posted I realize I have lost one of my favourire channels. Anyway really glad for you Mat.
try table top simulator. the barrier for entry is a lot lower.
Or is big strategy games are too daunting there are smaller games like warcry and kill team, both of which are great.
The store opening seems to be a local problem. Our local store had a reopening due to a move. There was a staff member from another store who’d been brought in to solely run up and down the line, let people know what stock levels were and that everyone was OK.
2 hour wait, numbers limited inside for Covid safety, ten minutes for the cash register once I’d picked up what I wanted.
Enough stock for me to grab limited stuff for all my friends who’d asked me to get things for them.
They can and do manage to get store openings right, seems to be a problem for that store or region…
Thinking about your hobby even when not playing is smth I do in Cardgames (lor atm). Sometimes I would wake up in the night with a cool idea, make some notes on a piece of paper and just try it out the next day
Don't know anything about war hammer, but this was really pleasant to watch. Felt like I was listening to a friend rave about their hobby.
16:56 I think that's the biggest problem, people say don't complain about the price it's a luxury hobby, which; fair enough, it is. However at the prices we have to pay, it is criminal that they don't include all the options. It's like people defending themselves over warping on forgeworld resin, "it's easy just put it in water and fix it", sure I can do that but I shouldn't have to; if it's a luxury hobby then why do half the kits not feel like luxury items?
i attempted to go to the store opening and it was a damn nightmare, I'm currently disabled and had someone drive me. as soon as I got there and I saw the line I knew there was no way in hell I was getting in, it's like GW is purposely doing things the hard way.
The worst balance in 40k is playing an army with an 8th codex vs a 9th, generally.
Nah man, compare the days of 3rd-4th edition where ONE book was so much stronger it was a joke... everyone remembers the 3.5 chaos space marine dex.
Was this recorded before the whole debacle of warhammer+ and the cease and desist?
I can relate. My two-year experience was literally: Warhammer good, but GW BAAAD!
You should try infinity.
Metal Models, better gameplay, more
Balanced gameplay. Considerably cheaper, it’s constantly updated and all faction, rule, unit stats, tournament information and even army builders are FREE.
Corvus beli love looking after their players.
excellent video
the number one worst thing about warhammer is how GW treats their community "looks at the rotting carcass of the fun animation side of the hobby"
if your nagging for the pricing of a plastic then you didnt saw ygo man some cards are crazy expensive for example forbidden droplet the price for this card board is insanly high the cost is $147.99 and you need to play 3 copies of forbidden droplet in order to get the likely hood of this card and plus sometimes you dont win with droplet
Not gonna lie back when you said you weren’t doing more spotlights I was scared if I could see how it would turn out bro I woulda threw a box of tyrinids at you sooner. Content is great please don’t stop I need you.
(;_:)
I'm so glad that you're here and (mostly) having fun! :-) PS love that camera just hanging from the ceiling tiles, baller.
Love your painting vids goob!
It's amazing how far Magikarp has come with this! And how much happier and healthier he looks, no more dark circles under his eyes and sunken shoulders!
NO! NO! NO! Many people say I am sick in the head. NOOOO!!!! I don't believe them. But there are so many people commenting this stuff on my videos, that I have 1% doubt. So I have to ask you right now: Do you think I am sick in the head? Thanks for helping, my dear aron
yo wtf?
That thumbnail begs to differ on the “looks healthier” bit
@@AxxLAfriku idk how your channel hasn't been deleted
Great vid dude, hope you're well x
Dude you seemly literally so much more happy compared from when you were making content for league. No lie, I am so happy I stuck around to see your content become so much more focused on Warhammer so that I can continue enjoying what you make.
When it comes to pricing, I always work in "hours of fun per £/$". I bought Abaddon for example, £37.50 for a 50 grams of plastic but i spent 100 hours painting him and then countless more playing him all of which were immensely satisfying. I even spend loads of time on my basic spod CSM's and give them daft names.
As for the books the new subscription may be worth it if this is a main hobby, although, i love the feel of owning a book and reading all the material.
Ultimately, it's definitely an expensive hobby but you can take it step by step and it gives you something other hobbies can't.
PS. in terms of not having complete weapon options, i think that is to increase variety used in the game and limit overuse of specific tactics. Reaper chain cannons for example, you get 1 for 5 Havocs because it's a beaassst of a gun.
Holy shit I had no idea that you had a channel like this, definitely checking it out! I should probably come back to Warhammer aswell, I have like 4 models I haven't painted science 2019.
The fact that the rules aren't just an update to a website is the reason I'll never play this game.
Battlescribe is your answer to that. If they dont have something, 40k youtubers like auspex tactics will. All for free and majority of 40k players do this
Amen brudduh. Infinity got rules for free son.
And Wahapedia, actually dice check made a video for new players and how to get started!
I actually bought some models just to paint them cause I think they looked cool, but I swear I'll never get a book of rules that will only be useful for a couple years or less
@@carcionpetto it our age of internet, that would be not wise. I mean you wanna look up fast the rules during a game not search a minor detail in a 300 page rule book?! That's why wahapedia is superior
"the lore is so vast, that you can get ingulfed without playing tha game at all..." Matt, how do you know what i do in my spare time ?
I don't play warhammer anymore and I most likely never will, but I'll always watch your videos for the passion and entertainment. ❤️
I'm literally crying... I missed Matt so much this chanel has got me through some tough times. You duh best Matt Castro!
Boils down to
Pros:the actual game and models
Cons: The shit GW pulls
Not gonna lie, this hobby sounds like your most effective antidepressant. I’m really glad to see that you’re finally doing better and doing something that you genuinely love to do. I may not know jack shit about 40k, I just tuned in to see how my favorite karp boi was doing. And it seems like you’re doing better than ever, since you quit League. Idk, it’s just nice to see, especially when you have been depressed during most of the time I have known you. Stay strong.
So what I'm hearing, is the game is great, it's fantastic, and the community is great, GW is the problem. Me and my group of AoS players recently found that this was true. We think we might as a group invest into resin printer for us to use and enjoy so we can keep playing the game we love, without going broke constantly.
You're the one who got me into 40k, and war gaming in general. Thank you so much for the introduction to this hobby, but also I hate you for causing me to spend so much money lol
The social aspect of the hobby is probably one of the most underrated things about becoming involved in a local gaming group!
I think as an OG Warhammer fan where I have a divide with Matt is that he's really seeing this thing come together after years of this company really messing up. I could regale him with tales of GW's countless missteps over the years. What you're seeing today is the end result of decades of problems the company had. Flashback ten years and you'd have League level complaints. That being said it's nice to see that GW has gotten a bit better over the years. Their fan policies though are still complete ass. They're really, REALLY, aggressive against fan artists and content creators. But yeah it's nice to see that the game is well balanced and in a good place.
I'm also glad to see that you're really enjoying the content you're doing now. For a long time it really seemed like you took no joy in your content so to see and hear the enthusiasm is nice.
You can blame the Chapterhouse lawsuit for screwing GW's tetriary policies right up the ass, I don't agree with what GW does, but it is understandable.
Nice ! I have a cameo in this video “pro player “ you are too kind ! Always love the videos this one was a great topic and I agree with what you said !
I've been getting a lot into the lore of Warhammer thanks to playing and really enjoying Total War: Warhammer I & II since a couple of years ago, and I think it is an amazing narrative but if I had to pick one thing I hate about the universe, it's the designs, specially those of 40K, a lot of them are just way to complex and over-the-top for me.
“The pricing for this game can be pretty hefty”.
Yup
- New Australian Player
R.i.p.
It has been a joy to see your growth over the year with Warhammer, since that first documentary and then all the battle reports, sit down and talks about Warhammer armies. You guys have been a boon to the hobby and I am looking forward to another year of Warhammer content from you all.
I dont play Wahmmer
I dont know what they are doing
But I still like it
Yep thats me since day one. Maybe im buying one model but im afraid of the painting
I just found this series like 2 months ago and to add to enjoying the hobby even when you're not playing: I've been painting warhammer and minis for 8 months and I've NEVER played a game. I have a 2000+ Black templar army that I don't play
From 11:00 on where you are talking about the "Hates", is the main reason why I've only stuck with 2 armies, Necron and Space Marine... and probably the main reason why I'm not 100% sold on wanting to delve deeper into this hobby besides the two armies I've got the free rules one can find on the net.
"Not a lot of people hate the game"
"The game is somewhat balanced"
Have you signed the NDA?...
If you want to get into Warhammer but pricing is too much of an issue, there isn’t an active community around you, etc. there is an amazing alternative:
The video games.
For fantasy:
The Total War: Warhammer series is the most lively and engaging you will ever see the setting and all its factions. It is an rts with a civ-like campaign that has almost every single unit for every single faction in the setting with so much over the top-ness, diversity, and heart that there is always something new to catch your eye either lorewise or flavor wise.
Vermintide and its sequel is a fps with left 4 dead elements that puts you neck deep in equal parts the world and rat guts. Visceral, great melee combat, and as grimdark as it can get. The writing is also of note as well, and you can quickly find yourself growing attached to the characters.
Blood Bowl is a turn based “football” game that is a more direct adaptation of one of their tabletop games. It is in the warhammer fantasy universe, but an alternate timeline that is much more silly and humorous. It is basically just the Blood Bowl tabletop game given form. Great for some light hearted fun.
40k:
The Dawn of War series is the coca cola classic and the gold standard of a 40k rts. Base building, fun gameplay, and faithful as can be to the setting. As warhammer as it gets.
Mechanicus is an xcom-like strategy game that puts you in the shoes of the toaster molesting murder priests doing what they do best and messing with the Necrons. Allows you to customize your squad, strategize, and explore massice metallic underground tombs. The soundtrack is also rock solid. If you want to see more of either of these factions or you just like robots, this is the game for you.
Battlefleet Gothic Armada is strategic ship warfare…but in space! If the topic of ship to ship space dogfights interested you, and you love the spectacle of outmaneuvering and broadsiding with massive city sized vessels belonging to the various races, this may catch your eye.
Gw's pricings are absurd. It's not even funny. Compare these prices with gunpla? These don't even require engineering, they're not snap fit, these prices are actually laughable.
My pet peeve with Warhammer is that the space marine packs only have ultramarine transfers, meaning if you collect ANY other chapter, you need to buy an extra transfer sheet. What makes this more annoying is that they used to include a transfer sheet with all the major chapters, but I think in 8th edition they changed it to just ultrasmurfs for no apparent reason
Loved your old content but stopped playing league. Now I just got into AOS later in my life and I’m glad that you’re still here friend :)
We want league of legends, actual champion spotlights... We loved you for your lol videos, u just quit... That was bad...
Really a cool video but I'd liked if you talked a bit more about how GW treats contet creators... ( I guess it's more about the company than about the game but I feel it would have been a good thing )
I think the hate for LoL is just for ironic humour, why else people still return playing it and start reminiscing about the old days of playing with friends, regardless if they won the game or not.
5:40 what the jesus fuck, that is SO GOOD. Legitimately might be the best Warhammer model I've ever seen painted.
I actually can't get back into Warhammer having seen this model, knowing I will never, EVER paint to the standard I want to paint to. Because THIS is my new standard.
Oh wow! I wanna paint stuff now!
Two figures cost 29 dollars
Oh wow! I'm just gonna watch Mat paint!
What it boils down too: GW has an amazing product but is terrible at selling that product to their customers.
This series is always an insta-click
Correction litterrally everyone labeled magikarpusedfly is

Waiting for "The People of Warhammer" episode as you reach out to other content creators or general fans.
-Things i love about warhammer: the lore
-Things i hate about warhammer: the lore
I'm glad you're having fun with 40k, but the game left me behind editions ago. I've tried to get back into it, but I just don't like what I see here now (plus the nightmare that are the gw apps).
Boi looks like he lost some weight after getting into warhammer.
You got me into warhammer.
I started by watching your "journey to warhammer" videos, then kind of forgot about it when the lockdown started. Cut to early summer and I remembered Magikarp was getting into 40k with Bricky, so I looked around and found dicecheck. Now I'm like 3000 points deep into the game, have made some great friends, and learned that I love painting.
I think your tyranids even tho simple are still really nice
Excellent video. With reference to the packaging, AOS has been doing a very good job at only making unit sizes and options which are actually in the box. It wasn't always that way, but it has never been as bad as 40K.
It’s thanks to the original videos that I got into Warhammer in the first place. The aspect of gaming but with something physical and tangible with friends who represent themselves entirely to their own likes in a game drew me in and got me into the hours of sitting down building and painting little plastic guys. I can whole heartedly agree that the positives outweigh the negatives, and that Warhammer is such a great, geeky, but always interesting hobby to be into and I thank DiceCheck and many other UA-camrs for keeping me interested.
6:46 Dont act like you didnt laugh the first try saying this
Thanks My friend, i think WH is a beautiful habbie, i was tinking play this awse Game, but thanks for share allá of this, i think i'll traje a sept aside is too expensive and the company that is no the head of Warhammer are Dicks, thanks i love your videos, you are awesome too.
#o
Really cool! I'm currently working on my Necron army after a 4 year hiatus
Also, watchout for GW hitting your channel with something. They really don't handle criticism well, and suggesting 3d printing or other methods of reproduction could be considered 'hurting their business'.
Peace be with you, and try out Infinity. For the cost of 1850pts of Primaris Marines (approx. $700 as of 2019) you could buy an entire faction of CB product. Rules are free and updated, and plays like XCOM where there's very little idle time.
I used to be very deep into Warhammer Fantasy and 40k (about 3k-4k points each of Empire, Vampire Counts, Tyranids, and Tau), but haven't played in about 17 years. I can tell you that we had all the exact same complaints about WH and GW back then, so unfortunately if it hasn't changed in all this time, it's not going to. Despite that, your videos have been giving me the itch to play and collect again, it really is a cool hobby.
Although I'm not interested in the game, some of the models look very nice and the lore might interest me as well
I honestly think you and Dicecheck should do reboot of the Starting Warhammer 40k series now that you all have more knowledge about the lore. it can be daunting because even I as a SM Player (Blood Angels) think there's just too damn much chapters out there. Chaos SM is fine but damn Imperium chill out on the Chapters.
I started playing deamons in 5th edition because I really liked the random stuff they had. Then every release they changed deamons just a little bit and now they feel more like a nidzilla list then the random boogalo I started out with. If I wanted to play a tyranid style I would've bought tyranids.
I still bought some models after I stopped playing, because I really liked them. But they come with so many unwanted bits that I prefer not to get GW products anymore because of that.
And then I didn't even mention the metagame which was basicly "last codex is the best", the hilarious rules bloat and the rules being very unclear at times despite being really simplistic.
Don't get me wrong, I still like tabletop. I actively jumped on other tabletops like mechwarrior, dropzone and boardgaming. But warhammer and games workshop mismanagent just stopped my interest.
I was there, on the grand opening day of the cafe. I was there to buy black library books, and I got there right as it opened. Everything Magikarp says is true. It was really that bad. I was there for 6-ish hours and never even got in. The word "fiasco" doesn't even BEGIN to cover it.
HOLY FRICK! You were one of my favorite league content creators, but I left league and decided to become a better person. I have been playing Total war warhammer 2 for a few months and love the lore and the world. So now im going to commit and learn 40k. And while on my youtube spree, who do I see? My favorite FISH MAN KARP!!!!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAWW LETS GO!
In regards to the packaging thing, I bought a box of berzerkers a while ago (for use in a world eaters army), the box came with transfers, which I was hyped about. Turns out it had transfers for EVERY OTHER CHAOS SPACE MARINES SUBFACTION BUT world eaters. THEY'RE BERZERKERS FFS WHY
Oh hey, I recognise those AoS models...
13:18
Let's not talk about how Pyrovores are 25pts on the tabletop, for a S4 heavy flamer. And they cost 37.50USD, per model. Still Resin cast by the way.
Edit: They're S5 ap1, my bad.
Please Gee Dubs, gimme that sweet sweet plastic cast Pyrovore. I live for the damn things.
Love the Video Matt, haven't watch your stuff in a bit, took a big hiatus from 40K stuff, but came back and found you uploaded a video here.
I don't have anything else to say, so uh... for the dark gods?
Just a note, did he use reccettear audio on 10:28...thats neat, and yea, im happy that he find a new hobbie and its happy about it, i started to learn about 40K thanks to him and brick and i love it, i just dont play bcause too much money to invest, and i already play MTG hahahaha, but the lore, damm thats nice.
Top 3 things I love about Warhammer (AOS and 40k) as a viewer (not played a single match of the Tabletop since it's not _that_ famous in Germany, at least not in my reign):
-The live battle reports. It's so damn interesting to see new tactics, new armies, new maps, learning all the moves and crossing fingers when the dice getting rolled
-The books. My god, I've read so many books, Ciaphas Cain, Gaunts Ghosts, even Warhammer horror like Dark Harvest. I love love love the books!!
-The community. As Matt already explained, the community is just so wholesome, everyone is there to help and answer any question, no matter how stupid it sounds for Warhammer "veterans" :D
Glad Matt brought me to Warhammer😊
The Emperor protects!
The point here that almost nobody gets is that GW is a miniature company, it's what they do, they sell models, not a game.
They created the game in order to save themselves for overloaded buyers that didn't have anything to do with the hundreds of models collected throughout time.
And we, most of us, got into this from the gaming point of view.
This pricing issue and books, and stuff will keep happening until GW realize that they could be a better, bigger and more profitable business making a better game with an easier access for new player, thus getting more buyers for the models in the long run.
The CEO of GW is a dude that worked several years as a CEO of a work waterproof cloathing factory. If he takes the big decision, he does it thinking on how to sell more of something that people doesn't need twice or thrice.
Look at Wizards of The Coast: Same rules since 1994 for 25+ formats of the same game. 20k+ cards. What happens when people complaing of not being able to use the thousands of cards they have?? > New format. SAME GAME, SAME RULES, new format.
GW creates new games with different models, with slightly or totally different rules. You can't play 40k with teamkill models (but you can play some teamkill wth 40k models).
WOTC: The most played format, the one that gives the more revenews > 100% free on PC. Magic Arena. They made the game available for everyone with a pc not older than 10 years.
Imagine what GW could do if they made the game more stable, more playable and more accessible.
Man I just love seeing Matt happy again. Glad you're feeling better man, you look great!
Glad you are enjoying the hobby so much! Been following this journey since it's inception. As someone who has primarily played Horus Heresy for the last decade or so your ramblings on FW are dead on......the QC has only gone downhill in recent years (likely due to switching to CAD sculpts) and not to mention THE GOD DAMN RELEASE CYCLE. And some of the kits are just an awful building experience regardless of if some of the major pieces are warped or not, the dreaded storm eagle / fire raptor kits as a prime example, the dual plastic / resin combination was sent from the bowels of hell itself. Its enough to drive a man insane.
Game: Garbage
Company: Shit
Background: Fun, but the older stuff is better
I've been a Tyranids player since the middle/bottom of 4th Edition. Got my first box of bugs second hand around the summer of 2006.
Just being honest, i don't give GW my monies anymore. After over a decade in the game, it's hard to justify supporting them. They just keep doing dirty dog shit year over year that make it really hard to be invested in the "fandom" proper.
I don't buy the books anymore. If there's only 3 pages worth of rules i need for my Tyranids, i'll dig it up on Scribd. If i'm out for models, i only get them secondhand, and i refuse to buy Forge World proper. If i really want a fancy mode, i deal with recasters for the reasons you specified. If i'm going to get a "miscast", I'm much happier paying $20 versus $200
Plus, GW killed "If The Emperor had a TTS Device" and i'm not ready to let that go.
I still play, but with other oldheads that pretty much feel the same as i do. 40k did allow me to reconnect with an old friend during quarantine, which was pretty rad, but it didn't take long for him to start spitting up the dogwater that GW continues to try and schlep.
Warhammer is a forever nope from me. The cost point is just too ridiculous. I'm not saying I wouldn't like to play, but when I can walk into a game store and buy full tabletop games for less than the price of 1 unit from 40k, we've got a problem. And I really like collecting figures. I've got an X-men Marvel Legends collection thats nearing 200 figures. But these legends figures are articulated, painted, highly detailed, come in nice looking window boxes and I've only ever paid more than $20/figure 1 time.
When you guys first started covering Warhammer, I didn't care. That opinion is slowly changing, now that you are in the trenches of the East India Workshop scam, with the rest of us. If its one piece of advise i can provide, that will make you happier: Buy everything from a recaster. You'll save a ton of money, and have alot less to complain about. I know thats not supporting the company who's product you love, and blah, buh-blah, blah, or some shit, but fuck those guys. For every American that buys recasted models, theres like 50 English dudes who'll drop $1000 on a special edition shoulder pad for their primaris army, and probably 20 Americans who will do the same, because they love getting fukt.
yo, Mad Props on your painting progress within a year!!!! True Accomplishment! As a lifelong artist of many, many mixed media. I am Truly impressed and Inspired by watching your progression and mastery of skill, Achieved.
Yeah, talking about the box options not supporting the build options, I feel your pain. For a while, as a Tau player, a big unit of 9 Crisis Suits with 3 Cyclic Ion Blasters on each was top end. Unfortunately, the only GW source for CIBs, is from the $55 Tau Commander kit, and you only get 1 per box.
Good points, but the one issue I have is that 40k is a mostly toxic environment for table top miniature games (coming from a Warhammer player for over 20 years). I basically turned away from GW 40k due to the amount of toxic players (and this is from a non-tournament player). Happy for you if you can find your niche of good players like I did back in high school, but at large 40k is known as being a toxic player base. Good video though and you got a sub from me! cheers. (Saw At Ease Games in one screen, shout out to Ron and At Ease Games my Kings of War league plays down there often)
I’m just getting interested in the game. Started working on a 500 point list of harlequins and had exactly the experience you mentioned. Why 2 fusions pistols in a box with six dudes? Ok, I’ll look for just the pistols. Like a couple dollars a piece from eBay, but of course those are sold out. Find some third party arms that look about right. Go down a rabbit hole, now I’m considering just buying proxies for everything instead of given gw my money. I can get a just as cool looking murder clown sniper for like 20% of the price.
Karp try Historic Wargaming :) waaaay better way cheaper and the "Lore" is literaly in History books...... and minis are better than GW , cheaper than GW , more companies because it is History you can make copyright on history..... and rules are like 30bucks some are Free like F*** Freak GW and play Historic wargaming
I have never played Warhammer and probably won't since I already am in a quite expensive hobby (BJD) but I love jsúst looking at all the models and I even have some Lore books. The Universe is just so cool and I have a hell of a lot of fun painting Miniatures, Sculptures and Dolls. Which I even sell sometimes and take Commissions for. It is so fun and the character designs of Warhammer are so refreshing and different of many things that you see nowadays. For example; the only half naked woman are Demons. :)
I felt very similarly about gundam model kits, which I also got into this year. Not only was it a really relaxing hobby to do with your hands, but it also allowed me to get into an artistic side of myself with painting. I had never really done anything art related in my life, and it so much more satisfying than playing an online game.
The pricing is extra bad for US and AUS, it's not quite as bad here in Europe. There's talk of improvements regarding that situation for some countries though.
Edit: Tyranid Warriors have a 20-25% markup in the US as an example.
I have $200 worth of Battletech stuff. Battletech and Catalyst Games don't ask you spend thousands on their game. The game literally let's you play with two or four mechs. Good thing I like my MechWarrior stompy robots more. Warhammer 40k is too expensive for a game. GW rips their fans off. I hope they come around and treat their fans better. I'll just stick to the novels for this game.
From a person who only tipped into the TTRPG side of 40k that lore is ..... WOW. Had friends in college who played the war game side and hearing how much armies/minis and paint were I was shocked. I enjoy hearing them talk about it and yeah 40k people are chill about new people asking questions about armies, lore, important people in that world. Glad you are enjoying a great new hobby.
And we can get a brand new halfling mega-army from Mantic games from $160 USD minus tax. They're actually pretty good halfling models. Yes, a few are resin. Most are plastic kits. Also the game is easier to play than Age of Sigmar. The only downsides would be the default setting for it has incredibly boring lore (and its the official setting for the moment). Yes, the models are not quite at the level of GW models, but they are making huge progress towards that. And they sell models for way less cost.
Compared with other wargames- buying a "Start Collecting" Box or splitting Indominus is not a cheap way to get started. Just no. That's why the near monopoly of GW over the wargaming market is just sad- because people are missing out on games that they might even enjoy more, for far less $. I could undesrstand those prices form a small company, that makes metal minis, they don't have the economy of scale, the logistics, the best deals from suppliers and they need to survive on a cople of purchases yearly. But there are no justifications for such prices from the biggest player on the market. I mean - look at Battlefront. The moved from metal to resin and dropped prices, becuase their costs were cut, and they had to compete with other manufacturers of 1:100 world war two model manufacturers.
I totally get you man. I abandoned League and WoW and got into DnD. Way better experience.
The sheer creativity you can get from it. And if you get into crafting, modelling, terrain building and painting (i don't even mention creating your own adventures and worldbuilding), there's just no comparing to ANY videogame.
Btw, since the weapons are so expensive for this game, why don't you just form a local community and get a 3d printer? There has to be someone that can use it. Or just buy a weapon and make a mold out of it. It will be a small investment but will save you tons of money
Reasons to not like Warhammer AoS and Warhammer 40k-
Games-Workshop is a trash, greedy company that eagerly stamps out creative growth from all facets of the community and charges insane premiums for their miniatures.
I love warhammer, but I have just purchased a 3D printer and have printed off entire armies for pennies on the dollar with comparable quality.
It's sad that all the good things about Warhammer are that the hobby itself is fun, but the bad things are all corporate BS. Bizarre IP practices, botched launches, zero transparency, suing fansites, doling rules out over $40 books and magazines, it's all just too much.
If some Figure Boxes are missing Units and some Weapons but others have extra X or Y, do they actually want People to trade like with Card Games ?
overall just seems Scammy but maybe :-?
You taking up the Hobby was the best thing you could have done, mental health wise imo, you are doing great! I have followed your channel since the actual champion spotlights and saw how negative you had become about lol, I loved this retrospective on your year playing warhammer and see how much happier you are now and I can't agree more, 40k and AoS have far, far more good aspects to them than bad, and as I quit Lol about 6 months ago now, I can definitely say the same isn't true about league. Love all the content from the Dice check crew, you guys are awesome, keep up the great work Matt
10:12 and the rest of the video: You have to understand that GW are not making Warhammer for the players. They are doing it for money and only money. As long as players keep giving them money, they don't give a fuck about how you are treated. I know that they have a very good product and that it is hard to walk away from it but as long as you support their business model and all the surrounding BS with your $$ you are approving that business model and are not entitled to be treated any better. And while GW and WoTC may be the most egregious examples in the analogue game industry this is true of most other gaming companies and videogaming with Activision and EA may be even worse. But "Battlefront 2" showed us the only way get anywhere as consumers and that is to collectively boycott the product.
TLDR: I'm done making League of Legends videos. I'm sorry to my fans that only watch my league videos but please, this new hobby is just way healthier for my mental health and add more responsibility to me because I'm not a whinny little bitch trying to climb out of gold.
