    That end sting that you played Necromunda and liked it, as a Necromunda fan I want to hear more about that. I love it because the campaign setting of Necromunda feels like playing an RPG with your friends in the underhive with your gang leveling up, getting better kit, taking lasting injuries, and perma death...and because it's got that RPG slant to it and there are so many unique rules to things like falling off ledges or being set on fire weird things happen and you're excited to have them happen even if it's bad for you.

    The detail you're missing is that the ultimate starter is 2 combat patrols, 2 of the boards ( Combat patrol size ) and terrain enough for ComPat, 2 player Combat Patrol game in a box.
    Literally the ultimate way to start playing 10th as a new player which is what it's for!

    • @Morrodin182
      @Morrodin182 Рік тому +1

      Yeah I see many YT content creators giving the wrong advice about the starter boxes. The 'regular' starter looks cool until you do the math on the boxes. Starter + needed minis to make it in a combat patrol is 20 dollar cheaper than the Ultimate BUT the ultimate gives you the boards you need to play (instead of glossy paper mat) and some terrain (which actually retails for quite a penny on the GW website).
      That being said: I really dislike the terrain they chose lol. The old terrain was much cooler :P

  • @dylanvickers7953

    Jay, I really like your assessment that the Tyranids “win on points” because looking at the army and watching it play, even a dominant victory by Victory Points through securing objectives, at the end of the game there were hundreds of points of Tyranids less than space marines if you just look at the board it looked like Space Marines won handily but they actually got crushed because they couldn’t secure any objectives until the final battle round and the points were so far gone at that point there is no way to come back. It kinda fits the lore too, sure that first wave got mostly killed, but they completed the objectives necessary to guarantee the hive fleet will win that war. The defenses have been weakened and the Tyranids have won. Which leads me to my final point: a lot of people are booing Battleshock and thus the Tyranids army rule along with it but if the whole goal of the Tyranids is to win a Phyrric victory through objective points, then one or two key units failing a battleshock and loosing CP can change the hands of critical objectives at key moments and let the Tyranids pull out clutch victories. I think their a good army both thematically and in the game.

    One thing that’s important to consider about a starter set for games workshop is that it is very rarely designed with a current games workshop fan in mind. They are almost exclusively geared towards new hobbyists or people who have never Warhammer-ed. That being said if two Homies went in on the small starter and the large starter then they would both have a sizable force and even paint / hobby tools so it kind of seems super good (for n3wbz).

      I grabbed the midrange starter for about £55 in Britain from a 3rd party, add on the models I can buy separately that are in the Ultimate Starter, and it adds up to around 100. Still bloody cheaper than buying the ultimate starter directly from GW, and I don't need the terrain or extra stuff with it so I saved a fair amount 😅

    210 US dollars for the ultimate? I live in sweden and at my local game store i payed 1400 sek for the ultimate, thats like 134,77 USD. (1 USD = 10,38 sek). So even though i don't really need much from the ultimate box, becouse over here thats a no brainer take my money. 210 dollars though yes i totaly agree with you! note official GW store price the ultimate at 1500 sek, the starter 780 sek, and the intro at 480 sek. (144, USD, 75 USD and 46 USD in current exchange rate).
    I like the terrain though. I have a lot of MDF terrain and some older ruins from GW, and the terrain in the ultimate box will add to that, will blend well with the rest of my terrain and add something "new".

      You are 100% right. The ultimate starter is the best deal. If you need to add the extra minis to the starter to make it combat patrols you pay more or less 20 dollar less that the ultimate costs you. So essentially for 20 bucks you get full core rules vs starter rules, 2 terrain boards and the Fronteris Bunker + stockades.
      Heck if you don't like the terrain pieces and ebay them for like 40 dollar you are even doing a profit this way.

    The Space Marine Board Game is so funny... I remember that back in 5th edition they published rules for a game that this seems oddly similar to in a White Dwarf :D You had one Space Marine with all the gear and lore accurate stats taking on waves of enemies... not sure if it was Orks or Nids though...
    But yeah, same thing, recycled and put into a box to draw gamers who like the Space Marine game but have no other affiliation to 40K into the tabletop :D

      The Movie Marine list?
      Where bolters were assault cannons and the lascannon had infinite range and hit everything in its path like a beam weapon?
      Stunt men lol
      That was after the awful Space Marine movie.
