 So you've finally decided to take the plunge and get into Warhammer 40,000 and with the new addition being even more accessible than ever before there's no better time to get in the hobby than now. And I know it can seem quite daunting with the paints, the minis, the rules! But in this video I'm gonna show you that really it isn't that complicated and by the end you'll have a Warhammer 40,000 squad painted and ready for the tabletop. Honestly this is one of the hobbies that I get the most joy out of whether it's spending hours, you know, painting new models or playing with friends on tabletop or even gushing about some new lore that's been released. This hobby is one of the friendliest communities I've ever been a part of. So today we're gonna take a look at one of the starter kits which is probably one of the best ways to start. And this video is sponsored by Warhammer so big shout out to them for allowing me the opportunity to show you just how easy this hobby really can be to get into. So let's see what's inside the box shall we? Well you've got your models, paints, paintbrush, instructions, playing board, ruler, clippers and of course dice. Let's start with the fun part, the models. They come on sprues which you have to use your clippers to cut out. The great thing about these models is that you don't need any glue to put these together. Just follow the instructions in the booklet and in the end your models should look something like this. With your models fully assembled and completed next is painting them and when it comes to painting it can be as simple or as complicated as you want. For this instance let's take a look at the booklet and the how to paint guide inside there which easily illustrates how to get your models from gray to fully painted. Let's start with the Space Marine first. Take them a crag blue and give them a good coat of paint. First remember to thin the paint down with some water. For this I used the cardboard that came in the box as a mixing palette. Take some paint from the part and put it on the cardboard. Next add some water onto your brush and mix it around before applying it to your mini. Also don't forget to change the water after this step, very important. Then we'll use a badden black to paint the in-between parts of the armour, the gun and the satchels. After that we'll use Balthasar gold to paint the metal part of the gun, trim the shoulder pads and the aquila on the chest. For the purity seals we'll use Nagaroth Knight for the stamp part and then Wraithbone for the paper part of the seal. Oh and let's not forget the head of the sergeant of course and that's them done. So let's do the tearing in now. We'll use Wraithbone again and build up slowly with thin coats as a base layer. With pale paints the first coat never looks very good, so yeah by the third time you'll be fine don't worry. Then we'll use Nagaroth Knight for the carapace on the back and finally use a badden black for the gun and the claws. And in the end your model should look a little something like this. It really is that simple. All you need is time and patience and before you know it you've arguably completed the most daunting part of the hobby. So congratulations it is great. So what do you do with your newly painted models? Well you've got to take them to battle of course, crack out the board that came with the box and let's get started. 40k is first and foremost a turn-based game. You have different phases to follow and once you've done all of that the opponent takes a turn to do the same. In the instruction booklet you can find out all about them in depth and even a step-by-step battle using the models you've just bought. So if you have any questions you can find them there. But put simply this is what they're all about. The movement phase. As it suggests this is where you move your units around the board. Find that unit's data sheet in the instruction manual and on this page under move that's how far they can move. Use the ruler to check the distance. Next the shooting phase. Here you'll find their attacks and the range. In this case the Marines have two and the Sergeant has three and they hit on rolls of a three plus. So anything that's rolled three and above hits. Next the enemy needs to make a save roll. For the Terranids they need a five plus. So taking all those dice that hit they need to re-roll them. Anything that's a five and above is a save. And for all the dice that rolled less than a five that number of models needs to be removed. And all you need to do is just repeat the process until there's only one army left. And there you have it. Like I don't know how to make it any more simple than that. You've done it. You've painted, you've built and you've even played your first ever game of Warhammer 40,000. From here the possibilities are literally endless. You could buy another box to add on to your Space Marine Army or your Terranid Army. Or if you just even want to go even gung-ho start a completely new army. It's honestly up to you. And if you're feeling confident enough to take your painting to the next level I will have another video showing you how you can get your Space Marines and Terranids just that one step closer to box art level.
