We've got 00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:20.899 a couple of interesting things to point out today. 00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:24.059 First of all, we've got a special guest, all 00:00:24.059 --> 00:00:26.719 from the other side of the world, Julius from 00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:34.039 Legion W. Hello! Hello. Happy to be here? Leave 00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:38.560 it open -ended. We still have time to ruin this. 00:00:38.859 --> 00:00:44.799 Oh, man. Yeah. And also, a fun fact, it's Colin's 00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:48.679 birthday. Happy birthday to you. You've all been 00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:50.880 saying it for eight months, and now it is actually 00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:56.100 the birthday. Happy birthday. Robert Smith in 00:00:56.100 --> 00:00:58.259 chat says, 10 years time, he will be as old as 00:00:58.259 --> 00:01:03.359 Eldred. So happy birthday, Colin. um but today 00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:05.640 we are discussing something which we thought 00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:07.920 would be a bit of fun because we we haven't got 00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:10.439 hal today sorry so i'll be kind of covering the 00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:13.120 uk basis but we've got an islander we've got 00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:15.780 an american a canadian and a man who lives in 00:01:15.780 --> 00:01:19.680 japan so we're going to discuss about the differences 00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:23.370 between Warhammer across the globe as far as 00:01:23.370 --> 00:01:26.030 we are aware. And we've also asked the Discord 00:01:26.030 --> 00:01:30.209 for your own stories or little snippets about 00:01:30.209 --> 00:01:33.209 how you got into Warhammer and what media brought 00:01:33.209 --> 00:01:36.359 you into the fold. But Julius, to start us off, 00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:38.939 how long do you reckon you've been into Warhammer? 00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:41.980 Because that's kind of one of the questions that's 00:01:41.980 --> 00:01:43.780 always on someone's mind. They're like, are you 00:01:43.780 --> 00:01:45.920 a newbie? Have you been here since COVID? Have 00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:47.819 you been playing this since you were a kid? What's 00:01:47.819 --> 00:01:50.159 the deal? How long have you been into it? No, 00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:52.939 dude, tell me about it. That's like a lot of 00:01:52.939 --> 00:01:54.939 what comes up in conversations here. It's just 00:01:54.939 --> 00:01:57.700 like, oh, God, why are you here? And that's like 00:01:57.700 --> 00:02:00.959 a lot of the things which I myself don't know. 00:02:03.209 --> 00:02:06.909 To give a story, I'm relatively new to the actual 00:02:06.909 --> 00:02:10.050 experience, both just in terms of just the world 00:02:10.050 --> 00:02:15.210 itself and actually the tabletop. About 2022 00:02:15.210 --> 00:02:17.509 was when I really got into it. Of course, before 00:02:17.509 --> 00:02:19.330 then, you know, there was a period of time where 00:02:19.330 --> 00:02:21.590 I remember as a kid, I was like reading Game 00:02:21.590 --> 00:02:24.030 Informer magazines when Space Marine 1 was still 00:02:24.030 --> 00:02:27.229 like... Yeah, that's like ancient technology 00:02:27.229 --> 00:02:31.009 right now. I would get those every month. oh 00:02:31.009 --> 00:02:33.129 i was like i was like remember i was like reading 00:02:33.129 --> 00:02:35.009 then they have like the ratings and stuff you 00:02:35.009 --> 00:02:36.870 know like space marine is like what it's like 00:02:36.870 --> 00:02:40.349 a 9 .1 that's insane it's like it's like halo 00:02:40.349 --> 00:02:42.729 reach is like a 9 .3 that must mean it's a really 00:02:42.729 --> 00:02:46.509 good game it's like so um should be but yeah 00:02:46.509 --> 00:02:52.310 but um yeah that was really sort of the the there 00:02:52.310 --> 00:02:54.810 was a sort of brand awareness of it and then 00:02:54.810 --> 00:02:58.909 um i came to japan in 2019 And up until that 00:02:58.909 --> 00:03:02.569 point, I was a big sci -fi nerd. It was more 00:03:02.569 --> 00:03:04.409 attuned towards sort of what was considered to 00:03:04.409 --> 00:03:07.889 be Eastern pop culture. So the big one for me 00:03:07.889 --> 00:03:11.090 is Gundam. Gundam, but besides those like Transformers, 00:03:11.090 --> 00:03:14.250 right? Macross, Pat Labor. Yeah, there's like 00:03:14.250 --> 00:03:17.129 all the check marks right now. Yeah, it's like 00:03:17.129 --> 00:03:20.289 this guy, look at this guy. It's just living 00:03:20.289 --> 00:03:24.900 1980s, 1990s, just over and over again. But yeah, 00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:29.479 so those were the big works. And then just for 00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:31.840 the context, just to give a bit of intro on the 00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:35.960 story, I work here in show business. So I'm mostly 00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:39.419 an actor in my main time. And the story of how 00:03:39.419 --> 00:03:42.860 I got into 40K actually was because I was fortunate 00:03:42.860 --> 00:03:46.439 enough to get a role that I was coveting for 00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:49.599 a while. And on set, there was a lot of sort 00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:51.879 of advisors and producers who were super into 00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:55.840 the IP I was working on. uh but um they were 00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:59.240 more precisely into 40k and so a lot of them 00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:00.759 i was just chatting with them they're like you 00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:02.960 know what you should do uh you should take a 00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:05.439 look at something called black library it's really 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:08.400 interesting um and then from there there was 00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:12.099 like a half year of just laps after the um after 00:04:12.099 --> 00:04:15.319 the set basically wrapped and i remember at one 00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:17.319 point just sitting in my room like doing nothing 00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:19.620 i'm like yeah you know maybe maybe this is the 00:04:19.620 --> 00:04:22.470 time to start it'll be great and so you know 00:04:22.470 --> 00:04:24.910 a few it was like after that was like a few wiki 00:04:24.910 --> 00:04:27.389 jumps just later and suddenly i was like you 00:04:27.389 --> 00:04:30.610 know what uh maybe maybe i do want to get a few 00:04:30.610 --> 00:04:33.610 minis this sounds like a good idea and so then 00:04:33.610 --> 00:04:36.209 three years down and now i have three lord of 00:04:36.209 --> 00:04:38.629 skulls behind me on my shelf and it's yeah it's 00:04:38.629 --> 00:04:43.269 just been down those now nice this man played 00:04:43.269 --> 00:04:45.290 100 games with those little skulls so you can 00:04:45.290 --> 00:04:48.779 see it on his channel yeah yep Are you going 00:04:48.779 --> 00:04:50.439 to make five? Are you going to get to ten? How 00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:54.519 many is too many Lords of Skulls? It's whatever 00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:57.019 the amount that I'm going to be allowed to play 00:04:57.019 --> 00:05:04.180 by GW, frankly. Pitch is like, GW, can you please 00:05:04.180 --> 00:05:06.819 make them battle line? That would be insane. 00:05:07.620 --> 00:05:12.100 Imagine if I could run six of them. They got 00:05:12.100 --> 00:05:14.300 Chaos Knights. They might as well do that with 00:05:14.300 --> 00:05:16.610 Lord of Skulls. It's basically a knight. I'm 00:05:16.610 --> 00:05:18.430 just saying, like, there was a period of time 00:05:18.430 --> 00:05:21.029 where, like, Five Nights was meta, like, earlier 00:05:21.029 --> 00:05:23.649 last summer. And it's like, it could have been 00:05:23.649 --> 00:05:26.649 Five Lord of Skulls. I think that's just GW's 00:05:26.649 --> 00:05:31.230 mistake. I'm waiting on the same thing for Wraith 00:05:31.230 --> 00:05:35.290 Nights one day. If only. You must have had fun 00:05:35.290 --> 00:05:37.310 at the start of 10th, dude, when it was like... 00:05:37.310 --> 00:05:40.110 Oh, it was great being an Eldar player at the 00:05:40.110 --> 00:05:43.610 start of 10th. I'm not good at playing 40k, but, 00:05:43.649 --> 00:05:45.889 you know, it was... i could point at other people 00:05:45.889 --> 00:05:49.389 and go yeah the elder are doing great oh eli 00:05:49.389 --> 00:05:52.370 what's the uh the massive towel drop ship thing 00:05:52.370 --> 00:05:55.250 is that the manta manta is the man yeah surely 00:05:55.250 --> 00:05:57.509 the manta is the meta because you can just go 00:05:57.509 --> 00:06:01.439 into any game just be like smash smash Mine is 00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:03.839 the Meta. Well, it's 2 ,200 points if I remember 00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:07.079 correctly. You can't even use it in normal 40k. 00:06:07.180 --> 00:06:09.819 It used to be 2 ,000 on the dot for all of Eternity 00:06:09.819 --> 00:06:13.800 until now. I mean, it is $2 ,000. It was $2 ,000 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:18.040 and 2 ,000 points. So, perfect. I'm pretty sure 00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:21.279 there's... I'm like 99 % sure that there's actually 00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:24.420 one at the Akihabara Warhammer store. I'm pretty 00:06:24.420 --> 00:06:27.720 sure I remember seeing it there. I made poor 00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:31.290 purchases there, but I did not buy it. But if 00:06:31.290 --> 00:06:34.829 there's a tiger shark there, it's going in the 00:06:34.829 --> 00:06:37.430 suitcase. Oh, man. I mean, look, every time I 00:06:37.430 --> 00:06:39.730 go to a convention, I come back with a new army, 00:06:39.829 --> 00:06:42.689 so I can hardly say anything about war purchases. 00:06:43.170 --> 00:06:45.930 I've just never been to a store that actually 00:06:45.930 --> 00:06:48.089 had, like, a ton of War of the Worlds in it. 00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:50.779 That was kind of like a crazy experience for 00:06:50.779 --> 00:06:52.259 me. It's probably all over the place in the UK, 00:06:52.459 --> 00:06:55.819 I imagine. Oh, yeah. You go to the one in Tottenham 00:06:55.819 --> 00:06:57.560 Court Road and there's just like an entire wall 00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.160 of just Forge World. Wow. That was like 50 boxes. 00:07:00.379 --> 00:07:04.740 I've never been to a store in Alberta, at least, 00:07:04.740 --> 00:07:07.740 with any Forge World in it at all. Well, I have 00:07:07.740 --> 00:07:10.519 four, you know, those of us not in the UK. So, 00:07:10.579 --> 00:07:12.660 you know, most of us, but Andy over here, it's 00:07:12.660 --> 00:07:14.860 usually second, like not secondhand, but like 00:07:14.860 --> 00:07:18.420 non. Warhammer game stores, sometimes at Forge 00:07:18.420 --> 00:07:20.600 World. One of the last ones I had a bunch of 00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:22.319 Lord of the Rings minis of all things, but still 00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:26.060 no goddamn Nazgul. That's cool. It was a bit 00:07:26.060 --> 00:07:27.839 of a culture shock for me because it's like growing 00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:29.920 up in an island where I could only buy the little 00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:32.699 Ultramarine starter box in the 90s. And then 00:07:32.699 --> 00:07:34.759 now there is a shop called Just Games where you 00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:36.360 can buy Warhammer and the whole like upstairs 00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:38.620 is like Warhammer stuff. But like going from, 00:07:38.699 --> 00:07:42.939 I don't have any access to Warhammer. Then you 00:07:42.939 --> 00:07:45.540 just get like any Warhammer shop and like. london 00:07:45.540 --> 00:07:48.920 or even the one in nottingham just like there's 00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:52.660 boxes there's 15 types of titans i can buy wow 00:07:52.660 --> 00:07:58.259 amazing um i have a question uh so what i was 00:07:58.259 --> 00:08:01.579 thinking i was on now what i'm wondering is is 00:08:01.579 --> 00:08:04.620 warhammer proportionally more expensive in japan 00:08:04.620 --> 00:08:07.980 than it is here because when i went i was thinking 00:08:07.980 --> 00:08:10.279 oh like the conversion rate's good maybe i can 00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:12.839 get you warhammer but no it was the same price 00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:16.540 in canadian dollars just converted into yen which 00:08:16.540 --> 00:08:18.620 to me would mean is proportionally more expensive 00:08:18.620 --> 00:08:23.540 so yeah absolutely yeah so that was actually 00:08:23.540 --> 00:08:25.180 one of the things for a while which people were 00:08:25.180 --> 00:08:27.420 trying to argue was that yeah it would be cheaper 00:08:27.420 --> 00:08:29.740 in japan to pick up stuff just because you know 00:08:29.740 --> 00:08:31.680 economically that's kind of just where the yen 00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:36.320 is right now um but yeah gw has been pretty tight 00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:38.879 about sort of when it came to every year they'll 00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:40.679 basically just update the prices for a while 00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:43.039 so there's a period of time i remember when i 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:45.519 got into the hobby at the end of ninth where 00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:47.360 they didn't quite adjust their prices around 00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:49.480 that point and that was a period of time where 00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:51.679 i was just like ah you know it i'm just gonna 00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:53.720 i'm just gonna blast money on this it's like 00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:56.240 what's the worst that can happen it's like and 00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:58.159 then yeah sure enough it was like after that 00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:00.379 legionaries went from like at that point i think 00:09:00.379 --> 00:09:03.909 it was like 7 000 yen to like they shot them 00:09:03.909 --> 00:09:06.809 up to like 9 000 or something like that and so 00:09:06.809 --> 00:09:09.710 then suddenly everything started to line up but 00:09:09.710 --> 00:09:12.470 um it's still i think the best way if you're 00:09:12.470 --> 00:09:14.590 and this is for anyone listening who is curious 00:09:14.590 --> 00:09:18.509 about purchasing minis in uh japan one of the 00:09:18.509 --> 00:09:20.169 best places you can look if you can get your 00:09:20.169 --> 00:09:23.049 hands on it it's just secondhand stuff um so 00:09:23.049 --> 00:09:26.029 mercari is fantastic as a place to look yahoo 00:09:26.029 --> 00:09:30.649 auctions as well um besides that um a store which 00:09:31.259 --> 00:09:33.860 i i gotta sort of i gotta plug two stores in 00:09:33.860 --> 00:09:35.620 the area that are very interesting at least in 00:09:35.620 --> 00:09:38.820 tokyo which is giant hobby and arrows uh both 00:09:38.820 --> 00:09:41.220 of them are have a pretty vivid community and 00:09:41.220 --> 00:09:42.820 that's sort of where you can see a little bit 00:09:42.820 --> 00:09:45.139 less of like the obviously when people come here 00:09:45.139 --> 00:09:46.879 they're like flagship stores you know warhammer 00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:50.159 cafe it's all and it's all really great um but 00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:51.539 if you want to get like a little bit of taste 00:09:51.539 --> 00:09:54.519 of like what the sort of lgs uh vibe is like 00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:56.580 definitely those two stores are a great place 00:09:56.580 --> 00:09:59.580 to start so you have a video on arrows right 00:09:59.580 --> 00:10:02.000 is that the one that you Did a video one or is 00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:04.159 that a different one?

But yeah, we're hopefully, 00:10:12.940 --> 00:10:15.179 hopefully we'll have an opportunity to do a little 00:10:15.179 --> 00:10:16.980 bit more with them in the future. It just really 00:10:16.980 --> 00:10:19.840 depends. It's like Tokyo film laws are fantastic. 00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:22.100 So every time we think of an idea, we have to 00:10:22.100 --> 00:10:26.879 jump through those hoops. Interesting. yeah or 00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:29.940 colin how do you if you can cast your mind back 00:10:29.940 --> 00:10:32.259 i don't know if we've discussed this on on a 00:10:32.259 --> 00:10:34.799 stream before maybe maybe we have behind the 00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:37.799 scenes what's your experience been like growing 00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:40.360 up in the us of a and getting miniatures and 00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:44.159 are they expensive did you find stuff in a store 00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:46.539 did you play a video game what was your like 00:10:46.539 --> 00:10:49.580 gateway into this expensive hobby well i'll start 00:10:49.580 --> 00:10:51.799 with the minis actually because it's i mean it's 00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:54.419 kind of simple but it just is it is i actually 00:10:54.419 --> 00:10:57.639 used to where i used to live in illinois before 00:10:57.639 --> 00:11:01.360 i moved was um i was 10 minutes from a games 00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:04.240 workshop store and i always remember like just 00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:07.059 because i used to when i was in high school me 00:11:07.059 --> 00:11:09.220 and my friends like we'd go on runs to like game 00:11:09.220 --> 00:11:12.399 stop best buy and a local place called disc replay 00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:15.679 yes dude some good times it was always remember 00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:18.139 this yeah like oh it was always fun usually like 00:11:18.139 --> 00:11:21.139 we we were looking for i like my one friend was 00:11:21.139 --> 00:11:24.639 really into like amiibos for smash bros So he 00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:26.559 was usually the one like rounding everyone up, 00:11:26.620 --> 00:11:28.279 but I would always look at the games workshop 00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:33.399 and I was like, I was curious, but at the time 00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:36.399 I wasn't like that, like really into war gaming 00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:37.940 or anything. It was barely even playing much 00:11:37.940 --> 00:11:41.179 D and D. So, and I was also, I also kind of knew 00:11:41.179 --> 00:11:44.129 I'm like, if I make one purchase. it's not going 00:11:44.129 --> 00:11:46.129 to stay at just like, oh, this cool little box 00:11:46.129 --> 00:11:51.169 of guys. It's going to be... You're gone. But 00:11:51.169 --> 00:11:52.909 then when I got into Warhammer, actually, it 00:11:52.909 --> 00:11:55.850 was through a friend of mine who I guess when 00:11:55.850 --> 00:11:57.450 he bought his graphics card one year, he got 00:11:57.450 --> 00:12:00.289 a free copy of Total War Warhammer, the first 00:12:00.289 --> 00:12:05.190 one. And I didn't buy it until he gave it to 00:12:05.190 --> 00:12:06.909 me because he hates strategy games. I had never 00:12:06.909 --> 00:12:09.429 bought it. Not even out of necessity. It was 00:12:09.429 --> 00:12:11.129 kind of disinterest, but that's because I used 00:12:11.129 --> 00:12:13.360 to be like the... total war purist i was like 00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:15.960 this why are there dragons here i don't want 00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:19.519 dragons i want i want trebuchet's max and cannons 00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:23.220 you know foot so all my history i i was like 00:12:23.220 --> 00:12:24.919 that for a bit but then i played it it was like 00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:26.899 well he's not going to use it he's giving it 00:12:26.899 --> 00:12:28.679 to me for free i might as well try it and then 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:33.639 i was like and and now i'm in and then from there 00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:35.960 it was a you know like Like you were saying, 00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:38.000 Julius, the, Oh, let me click on the wiki. And 00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:44.360 Oh God, I'm here. Oh God. You know, as much as 00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:45.720 people give, you know, a lot of people, you like, 00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:47.860 you know, you can, and probably should sometimes 00:12:47.860 --> 00:12:50.960 give the wiki some, you know, some crap for not 00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:53.500 being the most accurate. It is when you're just 00:12:53.500 --> 00:12:55.860 starting Warhammer. I still find it's like the 00:12:55.860 --> 00:12:58.720 coolest, coolest experience. You scroll through 00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:02.100 the wiki for five hours. You learn nothing. Because 00:13:02.100 --> 00:13:06.120 every other word is another proper noun. It's 00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:09.720 another link to another article. This doesn't 00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:11.620 help me. What the hell is an orphanarium? What 00:13:11.620 --> 00:13:15.440 does that mean? What does that mean? Do I need 00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:19.000 a pie chart to break this down? What is the end 00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:21.240 times? It sounds really cool when I don't know 00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:27.120 anything about it. What's the content, the lore 00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:30.970 content creation like in Japan? uh like is there 00:13:30.970 --> 00:13:32.889 japan's own lore youtubers or does everyone over 00:13:32.889 --> 00:13:35.429 there also just watch like lutin and all the 00:13:35.429 --> 00:13:38.809 like are the classics i guess you got so you 00:13:38.809 --> 00:13:40.610 got a handful of people who are fighting the 00:13:40.610 --> 00:13:42.929 good fight out here uh and when i say that is 00:13:42.929 --> 00:13:44.549 where there's a few people who are like desperately 00:13:44.549 --> 00:13:47.009 trying to localize and translate like sources 00:13:47.009 --> 00:13:49.129 and stuff like that and i guess this should all 00:13:49.129 --> 00:13:51.710 be prefaced with the fact that like while japan 00:13:51.710 --> 00:13:55.509 has access to a lot of lords like for example 00:13:55.509 --> 00:13:58.000 there's a japanese version of horus rising that 00:13:58.000 --> 00:13:59.960 you can get and it's like it's a it's it's a 00:13:59.960 --> 00:14:03.120 really interesting one because it's kind of sort 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:08.500 of localized in its serialization as well where 00:14:08.500 --> 00:14:12.480 if you ever read a japanese uh novel um in asia 00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:14.500 as a whole they don't do like numbers usually 00:14:14.500 --> 00:14:17.970 there's an up and a middle and a down and so 00:14:17.970 --> 00:14:19.710 when you have like a book there's like you have 00:14:19.710 --> 00:14:21.490 the upper half and then you have the lower half 00:14:21.490 --> 00:14:23.990 essentially and horse rising for whatever reason 00:14:23.990 --> 00:14:26.070 was split into an upper half and a lower half 00:14:26.070 --> 00:14:28.690 and so you have to go and so i'm like i'm looking 00:14:28.690 --> 00:14:31.570 through like used books like here's horse rising 00:14:31.570 --> 00:14:34.830 great i only get the up section so now i have 00:14:34.830 --> 00:14:38.110 to find the down section oh wow wow yeah wow 00:14:38.110 --> 00:14:40.809 so they don't they don't translate many black 00:14:40.809 --> 00:14:45.379 library books uh for japanese Not a lot off the 00:14:45.379 --> 00:14:48.340 top of my head. I think the biggest, I know there's 00:14:48.340 --> 00:14:50.639 a Japanese copy of Horus Rising. There's a handful 00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:52.460 of the Horus Heresy books that have made their 00:14:52.460 --> 00:14:55.460 way into Japanese print. But besides that, I'm 00:14:55.460 --> 00:14:59.000 probably missing some, but really when compared 00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:03.320 to what you're able to get in English or a lot 00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:05.340 of the romance languages, there's just a lot 00:15:05.340 --> 00:15:10.470 less available. So then. going back to the subject 00:15:10.470 --> 00:15:14.129 of sort of content creators here, a lot of them 00:15:14.129 --> 00:15:17.750 as well, they get a lot of their info from one 00:15:17.750 --> 00:15:19.830 of the few things that are translated to Japanese 00:15:19.830 --> 00:15:23.529 quite frequently, which are the codexes. So yeah, 00:15:23.629 --> 00:15:25.629 so that's usually you'll get like a few YouTube 00:15:25.629 --> 00:15:28.389 channels that definitely tend to cover those. 00:15:28.909 --> 00:15:32.179 And it's like a little bit of a sort of the the 00:15:32.179 --> 00:15:34.360 always a little bit what happens with channels 00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:36.519 here is like you know those like you know those 00:15:36.519 --> 00:15:39.220 weird like miniature shops that look like they 00:15:39.220 --> 00:15:41.620 sell gundam models but don't actually sell gundam 00:15:41.620 --> 00:15:44.340 models in tokyo well so this is what it's about 00:15:44.340 --> 00:15:48.779 yeah it's like what are these like what are these 00:15:48.779 --> 00:15:53.779 rip rip rip ties It's like, that's kind of just 00:15:53.779 --> 00:15:56.240 how it feels. I was like, I was like, I don't 00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:58.159 know. It just sounds like Mark two for me, just 00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:03.279 extra steps. So it's just like, so is Warhammer 00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:07.149 in its earlier stages of. I don't know, a birth 00:16:07.149 --> 00:16:09.090 of rising? What stage of the infection is it? 00:16:09.710 --> 00:16:21.269 Is it just now? Is it just now on the rise kind 00:16:21.269 --> 00:16:23.830 of and it's like the ball has started to roll 00:16:23.830 --> 00:16:27.470 or has it been big for a while? Excellent question. 00:16:27.610 --> 00:16:29.750 A lot of the people here would argue that it's 00:16:29.750 --> 00:16:32.490 definitely been sort of rising, especially recently 00:16:32.490 --> 00:16:34.850 with 10th. I would definitely say that's the 00:16:34.850 --> 00:16:38.490 case. The thing to remember with Japan is that 00:16:38.490 --> 00:16:41.990 a lot of Japan is definitely pushed on sort of 00:16:41.990 --> 00:16:44.470 how well stuff is marketed through media and 00:16:44.470 --> 00:16:47.610 so on and so forth. And we do have some stuff 00:16:47.610 --> 00:16:51.429 which is interesting. For example, if you guys 00:16:51.429 --> 00:16:53.450 remember the Imperium magazine and the Combat 00:16:53.450 --> 00:16:55.610 Patrol magazine, which is currently being serialized, 00:16:55.710 --> 00:16:59.009 Japan has that too, which is quite interesting. 00:16:59.090 --> 00:17:00.830 It's something which you can walk into like a 00:17:00.830 --> 00:17:05.339 bookstore here and you can find. um all of the 00:17:05.339 --> 00:17:07.660 sort of like imperium or like the combat patrol 00:17:07.660 --> 00:17:10.559 magazines nicely lined up but only the paint 00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:13.539 ones uh because people here are still smart about 00:17:13.539 --> 00:17:15.940 which ones do they want the scalp to high heaven 00:17:15.940 --> 00:17:22.000 so it's like um so you do see like a lot of people 00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:25.240 who just happen to read it by like by eye so 00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:26.960 there's a little bit of that brand familiarity 00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:32.970 there um but there hasn't been a sort of killer 00:17:32.970 --> 00:17:37.309 piece of media yet um in the sense like not people 00:17:37.309 --> 00:17:38.950 a lot of people don't know about for example 00:17:38.950 --> 00:17:42.390 Astartes here um it's like sort of like some 00:17:42.390 --> 00:17:45.250 people have seen the secret level short not a 00:17:45.250 --> 00:17:48.190 lot you know and Space Marine 2 while it was 00:17:48.190 --> 00:17:50.089 big you know it's ultimately it's a western game 00:17:50.089 --> 00:17:52.049 and so that's sort of like when coming into the 00:17:52.049 --> 00:17:55.210 Japan sphere you're competing with like so many 00:17:55.210 --> 00:17:56.650 different and they're like what is this this 00:17:56.650 --> 00:17:59.170 is not a from software game what am I supposed 00:17:59.170 --> 00:18:02.390 to do with this it's like kind of reminds me 00:18:02.390 --> 00:18:05.049 of like i know it was difficult to bring things 00:18:05.049 --> 00:18:08.170 like xbox into japan compared to like what's 00:18:08.170 --> 00:18:10.529 your like you've got the playstation and you've 00:18:10.529 --> 00:18:13.069 got nintendo as like home turf and then xbox 00:18:13.069 --> 00:18:15.349 comes in like do you like master chief it's like 00:18:15.349 --> 00:18:20.150 who is this that's not mario or and that's now 00:18:20.150 --> 00:18:24.230 a battle xbox is losing here too it's true oh 00:18:24.230 --> 00:18:28.400 man i can cry about that one for so long Because 00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:30.559 you do have the big cafe, the Warhammer cafe 00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:33.579 in Japan. And I know America is now getting their 00:18:33.579 --> 00:18:35.259 own Warhammer world, which is interesting. But 00:18:35.259 --> 00:18:38.200 I know it's like America is a bit of a cheat 00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:40.079 code because if you're big in America, it goes 00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:43.680 everywhere. So I like, do you reckon the cafe 00:18:43.680 --> 00:18:47.039 in Japan has had much of an impact in like the 00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:48.779 consciousness of like the populace? Like, oh, 00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:50.480 this is Warhammer. They just like, that's some 00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:52.119 weird gimmicky shop. I have no idea what that 00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:54.480 is. I just walked past it. Oh, I don't know what 00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:58.089 that is. Absolutely. So I think when it comes 00:18:58.089 --> 00:19:01.730 to the cafe, it definitely has spread brand recognition. 00:19:01.829 --> 00:19:03.789 And it's worth also mentioning at this point 00:19:03.789 --> 00:19:09.170 that the cafe very much so, because it's smack 00:19:09.170 --> 00:19:11.609 them in the middle of Akiba, right? So you get 00:19:11.609 --> 00:19:13.210 a bunch of people who are going there for nerd 00:19:13.210 --> 00:19:15.750 stuff. And then it's like, oh, here is the Warhammer 00:19:15.750 --> 00:19:18.289 Cafe. And it's like, that's not Japanese. What 00:19:18.289 --> 00:19:21.589 is that doing here? But it's also worth remembering, 00:19:21.789 --> 00:19:26.420 even in just downtown Tokyo, besides... the the 00:19:26.420 --> 00:19:29.980 warhammer cafe there's i think like two two other 00:19:29.980 --> 00:19:32.880 flagship stores stationed here that are just 00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:36.119 scattered around tokyo then there's one in yokohama 00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:39.240 one up and like further north in a place called 00:19:39.240 --> 00:19:42.339 omiya uh we don't go there uh but it does exist 00:19:42.339 --> 00:19:46.440 and then there's like then there's like one in 00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:48.440 like osaka now there's like they basically just 00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:50.880 uh g double has been making a push to try and 00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:52.740 get a flagship store basically in every major 00:19:52.740 --> 00:19:55.519 city And it looks like that's a business model 00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:57.799 that they're sticking with. So every time you 00:19:57.799 --> 00:19:59.740 go onto the GW website, they'll be like, we're 00:19:59.740 --> 00:20:01.460 opening up a store here. We're looking for staff. 00:20:01.599 --> 00:20:02.940 We're opening up a store here. We're looking 00:20:02.940 --> 00:20:07.700 for staff. And so it does seem to have some sort 00:20:07.700 --> 00:20:12.140 of an impact there where you just see this sort 00:20:12.140 --> 00:20:14.680 of brand recognition there. And that gets a lot 00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:17.279 of people curious. So you get people walk in 00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:18.680 and that's where the staff come in. It's like, 00:20:18.740 --> 00:20:21.559 so you've never heard about this. Let me tell 00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:25.190 you a bit about this experience. um there's like 00:20:25.190 --> 00:20:27.289 a because i i remember looking i was thinking 00:20:27.289 --> 00:20:29.890 of like a fun idea if like if i had money which 00:20:29.890 --> 00:20:32.890 i don't uh but if i had money a fun idea would 00:20:32.890 --> 00:20:35.309 be like going to every warhammer shop in the 00:20:35.309 --> 00:20:38.170 uk and then do like one all of them in europe 00:20:38.170 --> 00:20:40.509 and i was like curious as a concept like would 00:20:40.509 --> 00:20:44.170 that have legs and you go to like like amsterdam 00:20:44.170 --> 00:20:49.130 and there's like two of them in uh in yeah like 00:20:49.130 --> 00:20:51.549 the the capital and they're like i don't know 00:20:51.549 --> 00:20:53.849 if you'll see it very well but like If I zoom 00:20:53.849 --> 00:20:55.390 out a little bit, like, you can kind of see, 00:20:55.410 --> 00:20:57.990 like, there's kind of scattered all over the 00:20:57.990 --> 00:21:02.470 place in Europe. And, like, not too far apart, 00:21:02.569 --> 00:21:04.509 I guess, if you get to, like, the train or something. 00:21:04.950 --> 00:21:09.329 And I'm like, I wonder how much resources that 00:21:09.329 --> 00:21:12.329 GW can spare outside of Europe and America to 00:21:12.329 --> 00:21:14.130 different countries with regards to, like, how 00:21:14.130 --> 00:21:16.130 many shops is enough to, like, spread our influence? 00:21:16.329 --> 00:21:17.470 And I guess the department is like, put them 00:21:17.470 --> 00:21:21.009 everywhere. That's the solution. It was kind 00:21:21.009 --> 00:21:23.920 of hard to find. warhammer stores when i went 00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:25.480 there like if you put warhammer into google maps 00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:28.599 in tokyo all i like all that came up for me was 00:21:28.599 --> 00:21:31.980 the cafe i didn't get any other like secondary 00:21:31.980 --> 00:21:35.079 hobby stores and stuff like that so that was 00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:38.579 eli eli i guess you came to the right guy what 00:21:38.579 --> 00:21:40.940 can i say like you're gonna get a different round 00:21:40.940 --> 00:21:44.000 too yeah this uh this might be a dumb question 00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:46.200 this might be or like a point i don't know might 00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:49.539 be my lack of understanding for the uh that's 00:21:49.539 --> 00:21:52.829 kind of alphabet but Would something like Warhammer 00:21:52.829 --> 00:21:54.890 be hard to translate because you basically have 00:21:54.890 --> 00:21:58.710 to reinvent all of these words in Katakana? Is 00:21:58.710 --> 00:22:02.950 that kind of how it works? It definitely has 00:22:02.950 --> 00:22:05.589 localization issues. And I think one of the biggest 00:22:05.589 --> 00:22:08.650 barriers that Warhammer has, at least in Japan, 00:22:08.809 --> 00:22:12.150 is the localization. It's not an impossible thing. 00:22:12.170 --> 00:22:13.710 And it's important to remember when it comes 00:22:13.710 --> 00:22:18.670 to localization is just there's plenty of other... 00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:21.940 other companies have seen success with a solid 00:22:21.940 --> 00:22:23.880 localization like magic the gathering is a great 00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:27.579 example right it's pretty well played here and 00:22:27.579 --> 00:22:30.200 so and you get people who cleanly translate that 00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:33.299 stuff um but there is always like a little bit 00:22:33.299 --> 00:22:36.779 of uh the tricky part with any sort of like um 00:22:36.779 --> 00:22:39.279 western company coming into japan and trying 00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:43.359 to establish a foothold is you can always get 00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:48.200 the translation to sort of correct um you can 00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:51.160 get the meaning translated, but you can't always 00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:54.140 get the nuance. And that's the tricky part. So 00:22:54.140 --> 00:22:56.599 there's always a little sense of like, the joke 00:22:56.599 --> 00:22:58.779 in Japan has always been that if you read something, 00:22:58.920 --> 00:23:02.319 you're like, this has definitely been translated 00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:04.900 by someone who doesn't speak Japanese as their 00:23:04.900 --> 00:23:08.059 main language. And so a great example, which 00:23:08.059 --> 00:23:10.519 I can give, and this is one which people might 00:23:10.519 --> 00:23:12.519 disagree with me on, but this is one that like 00:23:12.519 --> 00:23:14.319 stood out to me when I was getting into the hobby 00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:18.480 was. um i gravitated really hard towards chaos 00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:22.380 i'm a big word bearers fan so yeah i'm thank 00:23:22.380 --> 00:23:24.500 you i think i finally get the recognition i deserve 00:23:24.500 --> 00:23:29.680 eli finally has a friend who likes like second 00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:34.480 four years i go here and like everyone's like 00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:40.509 oh you like them There ain't nothing wrong with 00:23:40.509 --> 00:23:42.849 liking WordBears. There ain't nothing wrong with 00:23:42.849 --> 00:23:47.369 it. I feel deep shame, you know. This is a safe 00:23:47.369 --> 00:23:49.829 space for WordBear fans. I just don't like, you 00:23:49.829 --> 00:23:51.930 know, they're space marines at the end of the 00:23:51.930 --> 00:23:55.250 day, so I've just got out from there. They made 00:23:55.250 --> 00:23:57.769 it so that the most space marines in the city 00:23:57.769 --> 00:24:08.269 died. Hang on, hang on. I'm listening now. fair 00:24:08.269 --> 00:24:11.650 superhuman genocide and count me in okay okay 00:24:11.650 --> 00:24:17.329 it's like um but but getting on the topic of 00:24:17.329 --> 00:24:19.690 that i remember when i picked up my first uh 00:24:19.690 --> 00:24:26.069 codex um there's a usually when anything revolving 00:24:26.069 --> 00:24:29.269 around the word chaos is translated to japanese 00:24:29.269 --> 00:24:33.059 there's two routes people go um there is you 00:24:33.059 --> 00:24:35.640 either translate it uh directly phonetically 00:24:35.640 --> 00:24:39.140 and so then it becomes calls so calls is what 00:24:39.140 --> 00:24:42.960 it would say um and and then the other option 00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:45.220 which people tend to do as well and this is have 00:24:45.220 --> 00:24:47.759 more common i think in like if you look at yugioh 00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:51.299 yugioh does this or um i think i would bet magic 00:24:51.299 --> 00:24:53.119 does it but i'm not super familiar so don't hold 00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:57.240 me on that but they use the term and is like 00:24:57.240 --> 00:24:59.500 a it's a it's a kanji term that just basically 00:24:59.500 --> 00:25:03.460 means like um yeah it it it does translate to 00:25:03.460 --> 00:25:05.420 chaos it just means sort of like a mixture or 00:25:05.420 --> 00:25:09.200 like uh dis or dissonance uh is the best way 00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:12.460 to describe it um but and i was really expecting 00:25:12.460 --> 00:25:14.700 them to go around like as like around and there 00:25:14.700 --> 00:25:16.920 is like smatterings of a compound that are like 00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:21.319 put through the codex as sort of like a description 00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:26.740 but the actual word that they use for chaos is 00:25:26.740 --> 00:25:31.700 chaos So it's K also, like directly phonetically 00:25:31.700 --> 00:25:36.539 translated. To this day, GW is the only company 00:25:36.539 --> 00:25:39.400 that I know who has used that phonetic translation. 00:25:39.799 --> 00:25:45.059 Wow. I mean, hey, it could be an insane business 00:25:45.059 --> 00:25:49.559 move. Wow. But it wouldn't be the first time 00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:50.920 when they were like, oh, how can we get around 00:25:50.920 --> 00:25:53.299 using orcs in the setting? We'll spell it with 00:25:53.299 --> 00:25:56.079 a K. Why would we get around elves? We use a... 00:25:56.250 --> 00:25:58.549 we use elder and that i i can imagine someone 00:25:58.549 --> 00:26:01.750 in corporate up at gw is like now we've got to 00:26:01.750 --> 00:26:05.750 keep brand recognition i don't care yeah yeah 00:26:05.750 --> 00:26:09.609 yeah yeah it's awesome hard k it's it's crazy 00:26:09.609 --> 00:26:14.109 yeah yeah because you could you oh sue i guess 00:26:14.109 --> 00:26:18.049 right uh or whatever yeah that makes sense um 00:26:18.049 --> 00:26:22.470 yeah that that's very gwe yeah to do though definitely 00:26:22.470 --> 00:26:26.579 that makes um Before we go any further, though, 00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:28.599 we've got some donations to read out, so we're 00:26:28.599 --> 00:26:30.819 going to go through those quickly.

I'm pretty sure it's like 00:30:27.329 --> 00:30:31.210 $200. Neon LF Graves, is there a homegrown tabletop 00:30:31.210 --> 00:30:35.160 war game from Japan? I mean... Gundam technically 00:30:35.160 --> 00:30:37.519 has just started a tabletop game, haven't they? 00:30:37.619 --> 00:30:39.720 They're just like, you can get little ones. Yeah, 00:30:39.799 --> 00:30:43.519 I can take this. Gundam Assemble is the one which 00:30:43.519 --> 00:30:46.759 Bandai is currently having in the works. So that's 00:30:46.759 --> 00:30:48.339 the one which is going to be the big flagship. 00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:50.440 Hopefully, well, we'll see how it turns out, 00:30:50.460 --> 00:30:51.839 but that's the one which they're pushing right 00:30:51.839 --> 00:30:54.799 now. Previously, since then, there's been a handful 00:30:54.799 --> 00:30:58.640 of games that have sort of run on a, usually 00:30:58.640 --> 00:31:00.559 they play it on a grid system. There's a few 00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:03.549 that are on grid or hex systems. I think there's 00:31:03.549 --> 00:31:08.650 like, oh God, I'm losing it. There's like one 00:31:08.650 --> 00:31:12.029 tabletop. It's not a miniature game per se, but 00:31:12.029 --> 00:31:15.309 there's a tabletop war game -esque one that's 00:31:15.309 --> 00:31:18.670 called Machine Embryo or something. And it's 00:31:18.670 --> 00:31:20.890 like, the best way to describe it is it's like 00:31:20.890 --> 00:31:26.069 a mix of armored core, but tabletop, where you 00:31:26.069 --> 00:31:29.390 would basically have a mech and then they would 00:31:29.390 --> 00:31:31.809 be like cards and you would like... build up 00:31:31.809 --> 00:31:34.369 a loadout so there's like one deck of cards that 00:31:34.369 --> 00:31:38.210 has like your um your left hand weapon you have 00:31:38.210 --> 00:31:40.609 another with a shoulder like mounted weapon and 00:31:40.609 --> 00:31:43.230 so you would like it was a weird top deck game 00:31:43.230 --> 00:31:47.109 that had like a a similar sort of hit wound toughness 00:31:47.109 --> 00:31:50.910 sort of system that uh that 40k has uh i only 00:31:50.910 --> 00:31:53.369 played tabletop uh i only played the tabletop 00:31:53.369 --> 00:31:55.690 of machine embryo once and then proceeded to 00:31:55.690 --> 00:31:58.369 forget about it like three years ago so don't 00:31:58.369 --> 00:32:02.259 don't quote me on that but it does exist The 00:32:02.259 --> 00:32:05.000 last one for now. Don't call me mommy. Thank 00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:07.859 you for five. Happy birthday, Colin. Best wishes 00:32:07.859 --> 00:32:11.480 on finding your own Morathi. I will abstain from 00:32:11.480 --> 00:32:16.039 pounding my desk violently. For you, Colin? Oh, 00:32:16.039 --> 00:32:18.460 dude, this is the nicest wish I've gotten. Happy 00:32:18.460 --> 00:32:21.839 birthday, Colin. Wish you a stable A1C level 00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:24.390 this year. We can only hope. Thank you. Thank 00:32:24.390 --> 00:32:26.990 you for being a member. Those were maybe the 00:32:26.990 --> 00:32:30.150 nicest donations you guys have ever given to 00:32:30.150 --> 00:32:33.529 us. This is the most well -behaved you've ever 00:32:33.529 --> 00:32:36.250 been. There was a lot of nice, well -wishing 00:32:36.250 --> 00:32:38.670 for Colin, and we like to see it because he often 00:32:38.670 --> 00:32:41.950 gets bullied, and it makes me sad. Usually we 00:32:41.950 --> 00:32:45.089 get bullied, and they put unspeakable things 00:32:45.089 --> 00:32:48.569 in our chat, so I guess they're being nice because 00:32:48.569 --> 00:32:53.170 you're here. Speaking of... I think the solution, 00:32:53.390 --> 00:32:56.390 at least my take, is maybe that you guys should 00:32:56.390 --> 00:32:58.049 just, every time you stream, you just make it 00:32:58.049 --> 00:33:00.789 someone else's birthday or you just have on someone 00:33:00.789 --> 00:33:05.230 whose birthday it is. Or we go through Wikipedia 00:33:05.230 --> 00:33:08.650 for every day that we're on and we find a historically 00:33:08.650 --> 00:33:11.789 notable person for that day and be like, we're 00:33:11.789 --> 00:33:14.109 just going to put this image of them. It's Thomas 00:33:14.109 --> 00:33:17.630 Edison. He's gone now, but it was his birthday. 00:33:21.979 --> 00:33:25.579 But enough about what brought us into the hobby. 00:33:26.140 --> 00:33:28.539 We basically put a little message out on our 00:33:28.539 --> 00:33:30.440 Discord, so check out the Discord if you'd like 00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:33.039 to. And we've got some responses from you guys 00:33:33.039 --> 00:33:35.680 about how you got into the hobby or how it affects 00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:37.940 where you live. And I thought it was only right 00:33:37.940 --> 00:33:39.779 that we start off with a friend of the channel, 00:33:39.859 --> 00:33:44.980 Red, who put this comment. Let me see what it 00:33:44.980 --> 00:33:49.359 says on this screen. So my crossed out fall interest 00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:51.220 into Warhammer was pretty normal and gradual. 00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:53.380 I heard about 40k before, but didn't know much 00:33:53.380 --> 00:33:55.099 about it apart from it's super over the top sci 00:33:55.099 --> 00:33:57.640 -fi. One day, a YouTuber called The Exploring 00:33:57.640 --> 00:34:00.019 Series, who I already watched for his SCP videos, 00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:03.579 posted a brief explanation of 40k. I was immediately 00:34:03.579 --> 00:34:05.579 hooked by the dark Gothic and Catholic aesthetic. 00:34:05.819 --> 00:34:07.720 I remember wanting to know more about Chaos and 00:34:07.720 --> 00:34:09.460 the Eldar specifically. There you go, Colin. 00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:13.099 From there, more 40k stuff would pop up in my 00:34:13.099 --> 00:34:15.360 recommended. Unfortunately, the only YouTubes 00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:17.179 I watched at the time was Major Kill and a little 00:34:17.179 --> 00:34:20.000 bit of One Mind Syndicate. Oof. From there, I 00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:21.760 started learning more and more about the setting 00:34:21.760 --> 00:34:24.199 and hobby. My first ever Warhammer purchase was 00:34:24.199 --> 00:34:26.199 the Imperial Guard start collecting with the 00:34:26.199 --> 00:34:28.340 Lehman Russ. Back then, I could never decide 00:34:28.340 --> 00:34:29.960 if I wanted to play Imperial Guard or turn them 00:34:29.960 --> 00:34:33.619 into GSC Brood Brothers. As for fantasy, my first 00:34:33.619 --> 00:34:36.920 expose was the Russian Badgers TWW2, so that's 00:34:36.920 --> 00:34:39.670 Total Warhammer video. I thought the game looked 00:34:39.670 --> 00:34:41.469 cool, but that was about it. Eventually, I started 00:34:41.469 --> 00:34:44.730 watching more stuff about the game and came across 00:34:44.730 --> 00:34:48.150 Cody Bonds. He's been on the pod, who was my 00:34:48.150 --> 00:34:50.309 only source of fantasy lore for a while. And 00:34:50.309 --> 00:34:52.929 then Colin turned up and was just like, okay, 00:34:52.989 --> 00:34:57.409 let's get back into Warhammer Fantasy. years. 00:34:57.409 --> 00:34:59.389 I had brought the game and enjoyed it with all 00:34:59.389 --> 00:35:01.789 of my lore knowledge practically coming from 00:35:01.789 --> 00:35:03.409 the game and Cody Bonds. Then I found Colin, 00:35:03.550 --> 00:35:05.449 there you go, through his Advancing 40k Lore 00:35:05.449 --> 00:35:07.489 Pros and Cons video and started learning more 00:35:07.489 --> 00:35:09.730 about fantasy through him. As for AOS, I always 00:35:09.730 --> 00:35:11.590 heard it sucked for me to kill, so I never really 00:35:11.590 --> 00:35:13.750 looked into it. Until one day I was bored and 00:35:13.750 --> 00:35:15.429 decided to browse the GW web store and notice 00:35:15.429 --> 00:35:17.630 how cool a lot of the AOS models are. Needless 00:35:17.630 --> 00:35:19.590 to say, I got interested, so I found 2 Plus Stuff 00:35:19.590 --> 00:35:21.670 for Lore and realized, hey, this setting sounds 00:35:21.670 --> 00:35:25.150 pretty cool. From there... Hey, whoa got recommended 00:35:25.150 --> 00:35:27.510 to me and I've been to a an AOS fan ever since 00:35:27.510 --> 00:35:30.070 also I was an AOS fan before I was a fancy fan 00:35:30.070 --> 00:35:32.809 Before I got into AOS all I knew about fancy 00:35:32.809 --> 00:35:37.929 was the total war game Wow Thank you, right I 00:35:37.929 --> 00:35:42.230 was Julius is there a warmer fantasy scene in 00:35:42.230 --> 00:35:46.130 Japan at all or is it just 40k mostly? Um, there 00:35:46.130 --> 00:35:49.550 definitely is an AOS as seen here. So if I were 00:35:49.550 --> 00:35:52.289 to for example, just like pull up What's commonly 00:35:52.289 --> 00:35:55.630 to do well? now x but like um the the wonderful 00:35:55.630 --> 00:35:59.650 musk app uh if i were to pull it up um you usually 00:35:59.650 --> 00:36:01.289 and you would just search up like warhammer tournaments 00:36:01.289 --> 00:36:03.809 or something like that you usually get a 50 50 00:36:03.809 --> 00:36:06.309 split so you get like people who are you know 00:36:06.309 --> 00:36:10.010 very much like 40k 40k 40k here's my sylvaneth 00:36:10.010 --> 00:36:12.349 army and it's like there's there's a lot of that 00:36:12.349 --> 00:36:14.289 so there's people who jump in between and just 00:36:14.289 --> 00:36:16.030 because there's once again it just goes back 00:36:16.030 --> 00:36:21.250 to the brand familiarity here isn't as concrete 00:36:21.250 --> 00:36:23.789 as it is overseas so there isn't sort of that 00:36:23.789 --> 00:36:28.010 that link of warhammer to 40k and sort of vice 00:36:28.010 --> 00:36:31.469 versa that really is is present so a lot of people 00:36:31.469 --> 00:36:33.789 here when they get in they're like do i start 00:36:33.789 --> 00:36:36.250 with 40k do i start with aos and so there's this 00:36:36.250 --> 00:36:38.809 that that's sort of like debate to start and 00:36:38.809 --> 00:36:41.530 yeah a lot of people are there how about how 00:36:41.530 --> 00:36:43.510 about old world i was going to say i don't suppose 00:36:43.510 --> 00:36:47.409 i assume i i assume gw wasn't pushing warmer 00:36:47.409 --> 00:36:51.440 fantasy a lot in japan 15 years ago and that's 00:36:51.440 --> 00:36:53.320 the only reason old world works around here is 00:36:53.320 --> 00:36:55.679 because there's a bunch of old heads who like 00:36:55.679 --> 00:37:00.079 fantasy so guys i i have some breaking news i've 00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:02.460 just realized that i have been bamboozled by 00:37:02.460 --> 00:37:05.539 this commenter this is not red this is someone 00:37:05.539 --> 00:37:09.900 using his identity oh my gosh you sneaky buggers 00:37:09.900 --> 00:37:14.519 how dare you how dare you You were going into 00:37:14.519 --> 00:37:17.820 the gulag. Whoever this is, I will find you. 00:37:17.860 --> 00:37:20.599 I will hunt you down. You are being ejected. 00:37:21.000 --> 00:37:24.280 We are going to possibly eject you from the hobby 00:37:24.280 --> 00:37:27.679 somehow. You sneaky boys, because all the comments 00:37:27.679 --> 00:37:30.940 are mainly Mike saying, they fell for it. Thanks, 00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:37.719 guys. Anyways. Is there any old world around? 00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:42.719 Even just where you are, I guess. There are probably 00:37:42.719 --> 00:37:46.199 like 10, 15 people right now who will probably 00:37:46.199 --> 00:37:48.659 be living in Japan who will watch this podcast 00:37:48.659 --> 00:37:51.900 and they will be furiously pumping their fists 00:37:51.900 --> 00:37:55.280 right now and shaking their monitor. Let's go 00:37:55.280 --> 00:37:58.860 old world. There's like a few people always, 00:37:58.880 --> 00:38:00.659 when I go to like a tournament or I go to a meetup, 00:38:00.659 --> 00:38:03.159 everyone's like, have you heard of old world? 00:38:03.480 --> 00:38:06.679 Are you into, would you be interested in playing 00:38:06.679 --> 00:38:09.280 a bit of old world? I remember I'm sitting there, 00:38:09.340 --> 00:38:11.260 I'm like, dude, it looks. interesting but like 00:38:11.260 --> 00:38:16.880 you're asking a lot out of me dude so it's fine 00:38:16.880 --> 00:38:18.980 it's good it's really good you should play it 00:38:18.980 --> 00:38:22.000 it's so true i was like i was talking to the 00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:25.980 um i was talking to the giant hobby guy the um 00:38:25.980 --> 00:38:30.300 the guy who runs that store um and he's obviously 00:38:30.300 --> 00:38:32.920 like just gets a bunch of people in and out who 00:38:32.920 --> 00:38:36.050 like are just super into 40K and ALS. And that 00:38:36.050 --> 00:38:38.130 seems to be just as two big breadwinners. But 00:38:38.130 --> 00:38:40.349 very occasionally, if you just get in a conversation 00:38:40.349 --> 00:38:43.329 with them, you'll just eventually, it's like 00:38:43.329 --> 00:38:46.769 entropy. It just always ends at old world for 00:38:46.769 --> 00:38:50.570 whatever reason. It just funnels in that direction. 00:38:50.670 --> 00:38:55.369 I'm like, okay. It's like, I'm here to buy space 00:38:55.369 --> 00:39:01.530 mines. So that's the experience. Cool. Should 00:39:01.530 --> 00:39:04.309 we talk about some tabletop stuff? like the uh 00:39:04.309 --> 00:39:06.989 the real the real life play in the game that 00:39:06.989 --> 00:39:11.329 stuff i think uh i will see if i can i am i have 00:39:11.329 --> 00:39:14.630 so many screens i am trying to find tabletop 00:39:14.630 --> 00:39:18.070 relevant comments uh but feel free to tell tell 00:39:18.070 --> 00:39:19.969 us about your experience while i find something 00:39:19.969 --> 00:39:22.530 that could yeah hear a wet from there because 00:39:22.530 --> 00:39:25.809 mr julius here probably plays more tabletop than 00:39:25.809 --> 00:39:29.380 any of us uh Andy doesn't play any tabletop. 00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:31.179 I was going to say, a lot more than me. Colin 00:39:31.179 --> 00:39:33.199 plays every once in a while. I play consistently, 00:39:33.480 --> 00:39:36.000 but by that I mean like one game every one or 00:39:36.000 --> 00:39:39.500 two weeks. It would certainly take me a while 00:39:39.500 --> 00:39:42.800 to get 100 games in with my three Lord of Skulls 00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:45.639 if I were to do such a thing. So I think you 00:39:45.639 --> 00:39:46.880 probably have the most experience out of all 00:39:46.880 --> 00:39:49.239 of us. Mind you, I've been playing the game since 00:39:49.239 --> 00:39:51.219 I was 12, so I guess I have the most experience. 00:39:51.280 --> 00:39:54.039 Yeah, that's the key reason, I think.

And once you have that 00:51:40.639 --> 00:51:42.559 guideline, the nice part about that is that all 00:51:42.559 --> 00:51:45.659 that gray area for like ambiguity and sort of 00:51:45.659 --> 00:51:47.699 fast play and whatever, that tends to sort of 00:51:47.699 --> 00:51:49.780 fade away a little bit. It's not a complete fix, 00:51:49.940 --> 00:51:54.820 but it does happen. And I think when it comes 00:51:54.820 --> 00:51:57.460 to Japan, at the very least, a lot of the expats 00:51:57.460 --> 00:51:59.719 here do stand by that and i think that's something 00:51:59.719 --> 00:52:02.340 which is really it's really great to see and 00:52:02.340 --> 00:52:07.239 a lot of japanese people as well do japan as 00:52:07.239 --> 00:52:11.699 a whole has uh been pretty this is the country 00:52:11.699 --> 00:52:15.179 that uh for for contact for like um they it's 00:52:15.179 --> 00:52:17.119 like rule shark is like a perfectly normal thing 00:52:17.119 --> 00:52:19.460 in japan it's like weird it's like i think everyone 00:52:19.460 --> 00:52:22.079 else is like um it's like god rule shark is ass 00:52:22.079 --> 00:52:25.019 and i'm you know i'm i'm trying not to uh take 00:52:25.019 --> 00:52:27.710 size on the fence uh but japan they have a term 00:52:27.710 --> 00:52:30.849 for that it's called judge killing um and so 00:52:30.849 --> 00:52:33.570 the the term is like if you see someone doing 00:52:33.570 --> 00:52:35.710 something attorney that is like that looks out 00:52:35.710 --> 00:52:38.190 of questionable or something like that um it's 00:52:38.190 --> 00:52:40.309 perfectly fine for you to call the judge over 00:52:40.309 --> 00:52:42.289 and attempt to kill him out of the attorney is 00:52:42.289 --> 00:52:45.630 basically the concept is like so that's that 00:52:45.630 --> 00:52:49.230 was actually a um a sort of thing for a while 00:52:49.230 --> 00:52:52.570 um But a lot of it, I think the thing is, is 00:52:52.570 --> 00:52:55.050 that because the expat community and the Japanese 00:52:55.050 --> 00:52:56.730 community, it's interesting in the sense that 00:52:56.730 --> 00:52:59.250 it's like it's sort of split. But at the same 00:52:59.250 --> 00:53:01.530 time, there's this weird like border where they 00:53:01.530 --> 00:53:04.389 try and mix. And so that's the really interesting 00:53:04.389 --> 00:53:07.389 one, because the biggest boundary ultimately 00:53:07.389 --> 00:53:10.690 on where to answer your question of where a lot 00:53:10.690 --> 00:53:16.190 of the sort of weird, whatchamacallit, the weird 00:53:16.190 --> 00:53:18.630 miscommunication happens is mostly language. 00:53:19.179 --> 00:53:22.280 yeah um some rules are not updated in japanese 00:53:22.280 --> 00:53:25.219 like armor of contempt was translated like two 00:53:25.219 --> 00:53:27.000 or three times over the course of ten things 00:53:27.000 --> 00:53:31.159 and so it's like that's one of those things where 00:53:31.159 --> 00:53:34.300 okay then you if if the guy shows up with the 00:53:34.300 --> 00:53:36.239 japanese codex and you're comparing that to the 00:53:36.239 --> 00:53:38.800 english codex and then the english faq and the 00:53:38.800 --> 00:53:42.900 tournament manual suddenly suddenly you get into 00:53:42.900 --> 00:53:45.760 a lot more confusion that happens that does happen 00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:48.829 here so interesting yeah i was wondering if the 00:53:48.829 --> 00:53:51.530 if the expats and locals stay apart from each 00:53:51.530 --> 00:53:53.329 other so that was the answer my question i guess 00:53:53.329 --> 00:53:56.389 but interesting got another one from the discord 00:53:56.389 --> 00:53:58.949 uh this one's from the unit in brackets it it 00:53:58.949 --> 00:54:02.429 and they them got into warhammer 4 uh via mechanicus 00:54:02.429 --> 00:54:35.340 like the game Bro.

And they're just, 00:54:52.000 --> 00:54:54.619 and you can see them kind of saying in their 00:54:54.619 --> 00:54:57.400 head, okay, this will be interesting. Is there 00:54:57.400 --> 00:55:02.929 like frowns or? There's.

Like, it's, 01:09:13.680 --> 01:09:17.140 like, gotcha supreme. i i will say that the first 01:09:17.140 --> 01:09:19.260 game of warhammer i ever played was against a 01:09:19.260 --> 01:09:23.779 fella who a fella that was in my friend group 01:09:23.779 --> 01:09:26.199 i wouldn't say he was a friend he was in the 01:09:26.199 --> 01:09:31.319 friend group who was the only guy like i knew 01:09:31.319 --> 01:09:33.260 that played warhammer was getting into it so 01:09:33.260 --> 01:09:34.859 we offered to play a game like yeah i'll play 01:09:34.859 --> 01:09:37.819 a game and he very conveniently left out several 01:09:37.819 --> 01:09:40.659 important rules which to a newcomer are not obvious 01:09:40.659 --> 01:09:43.279 like when you blow up a transport that doesn't 01:09:43.279 --> 01:09:46.390 just kill everyone in it He very conveniently 01:09:46.390 --> 01:09:49.050 did not tell me that, so my battle plan was out 01:09:49.050 --> 01:09:51.930 the window. He very conveniently left out the 01:09:51.930 --> 01:09:57.810 fact that deep striking, you know, just isn't 01:09:57.810 --> 01:10:00.449 always a good idea. Sometimes leaving, you know, 01:10:00.449 --> 01:10:02.569 getting the guys behind the enemy line is just 01:10:02.569 --> 01:10:06.510 feeding them into the meat grinder. You know, 01:10:06.529 --> 01:10:10.630 didn't inform me of what, you know, like strength 01:10:10.630 --> 01:10:13.770 versus toughness, what that really meant. When 01:10:13.770 --> 01:10:16.869 Eldred soloed 20 Khorne Berserkers, he lost that 01:10:16.869 --> 01:10:21.350 fight, by the way. He did take down six of them. 01:10:21.449 --> 01:10:23.909 He did take down six of them. He went down swinging. 01:10:26.100 --> 01:10:29.260 Well, not to add another Canadian under the bus, 01:10:29.380 --> 01:10:32.079 but I distinctly remember my first game of Magic 01:10:32.079 --> 01:10:34.460 the Gathering getting some pretty strong cards 01:10:34.460 --> 01:10:37.100 and not knowing what some of the options were 01:10:37.100 --> 01:10:39.520 on the cards because I was being directed by 01:10:39.520 --> 01:10:41.880 Eli. We tried to teach you how to play Magic. 01:10:41.880 --> 01:10:43.960 And then I conveniently lost the next couple 01:10:43.960 --> 01:10:47.140 of turns and I was like, oh, I knew this was 01:10:47.140 --> 01:10:49.840 a thing. I could have won the game. But then 01:10:49.840 --> 01:10:53.750 again, I'm just being a whinge bag. where i lost 01:10:53.750 --> 01:10:56.069 my first game of magic where eli's persecuting 01:10:56.069 --> 01:11:01.630 me um yeah we uh we still have people yelling 01:11:01.630 --> 01:11:06.510 wah in uh around here in our stores i i i i assume 01:11:06.510 --> 01:11:08.649 that that's would not really you probably wouldn't 01:11:08.649 --> 01:11:12.859 see that in the tokyo store I assume. That's 01:11:12.859 --> 01:11:16.579 what I had experienced at least. Do we know the 01:11:16.579 --> 01:11:18.939 nationality of the guy who made news for being 01:11:18.939 --> 01:11:21.739 like, the nails are biting, the nails are biting? 01:11:22.140 --> 01:11:27.000 I don't know, but that guy's a hero. He's shadowboxing 01:11:27.000 --> 01:11:30.659 in front of your opponent. That's good. I met 01:11:30.659 --> 01:11:32.659 him in real life in Pittsburgh, actually. Really? 01:11:32.779 --> 01:11:34.880 That guy? We worked out and we played Old World. 01:11:35.560 --> 01:11:38.979 That's sick. Another crazy Canadian. Was he playing 01:11:38.979 --> 01:11:42.029 Warriors of Chaos? Oh, no, we were borrowing 01:11:42.029 --> 01:11:44.010 some armies because he hasn't played Old World 01:11:44.010 --> 01:11:48.390 before. We played Dark Elves versus Goblins, 01:11:48.489 --> 01:11:50.689 and the Dark Elves prevailed. Malekith number 01:11:50.689 --> 01:11:54.550 one. Not the true Phoenix, too. Okay, pal. Okay, 01:11:54.649 --> 01:11:59.489 Mr. AOS. You know exactly what the price was 01:11:59.489 --> 01:12:04.810 for AOS. Yeah. Before we have another incident 01:12:04.810 --> 01:12:09.170 between the... the Western powers of Canada and 01:12:09.170 --> 01:12:14.210 the US over disagreement. Saint Wagons from Discord. 01:12:14.409 --> 01:12:16.449 I first learned about Warhammer through a video 01:12:16.449 --> 01:12:20.109 on the death court of Krieg. Neat. And then left 01:12:20.109 --> 01:12:22.250 it for a couple years. Then a friend brought 01:12:22.250 --> 01:12:24.600 it up one day and I thought... Oh, what's the 01:12:24.600 --> 01:12:27.199 harm of a second look? Three days later, I info 01:12:27.199 --> 01:12:29.640 -dumped the entire War of Heaven to Indometrious 01:12:29.640 --> 01:12:32.000 Crusade and currently have Knights, Sisters, 01:12:32.260 --> 01:12:35.800 Tyranids, Clowns, Harlequins, and most recently, 01:12:35.899 --> 01:12:38.939 Soulblight. Wow. That's quite an escalation right 01:12:38.939 --> 01:12:43.359 there. Pretty cool. Very in keeping with an addiction 01:12:43.359 --> 01:12:46.989 with someone who's just like... oh that's not 01:12:46.989 --> 01:12:48.670 bad and then like three days later it's like 01:12:48.670 --> 01:12:52.510 i need money for minis i need it i don't care 01:12:52.510 --> 01:12:54.489 if it's her college tuition she doesn't need 01:12:54.489 --> 01:12:57.810 it for another 10 years i need to buy minis like 01:12:57.810 --> 01:13:00.409 that's how it starts have you gotten much into 01:13:00.409 --> 01:13:05.430 the books julius um yeah actually i've i've tried 01:13:05.430 --> 01:13:08.850 to keep up at the very least with some reading 01:13:08.850 --> 01:13:13.239 um Yeah, you know, I read. I read. I can read. 01:13:13.439 --> 01:13:17.380 I can read. Yeah, yeah. I can read. Words are 01:13:17.380 --> 01:13:19.359 nice. You're beating me on that front. I've just 01:13:19.359 --> 01:13:24.619 been testing. Bro, what do you mean? Just keep 01:13:24.619 --> 01:13:28.039 getting it right somehow. You're just like going 01:13:28.039 --> 01:13:29.659 through it. It's like somehow you just unnailed 01:13:29.659 --> 01:13:32.560 the entirety of the 14 universe just by testing. 01:13:32.800 --> 01:13:34.920 You're there with every page on a dartboard and 01:13:34.920 --> 01:13:41.220 you go. I keep passing my real life in bone safes. 01:13:42.520 --> 01:13:44.939 I was just asking because I was wondering what 01:13:44.939 --> 01:13:51.600 your first Warhammer book was. That actually... 01:13:51.600 --> 01:13:55.859 God, what was it? I think it was probably an 01:13:55.859 --> 01:13:59.060 anthology series, actually. That was a period 01:13:59.060 --> 01:14:01.779 of time where the only thing that was available 01:14:01.779 --> 01:14:06.260 on Amazon Japan was an audiobook. of like an 01:14:06.260 --> 01:14:11.399 anthology series for the Horus Heresy. And it 01:14:11.399 --> 01:14:13.619 was, I remember, I distinctly remember like the 01:14:13.619 --> 01:14:16.279 first story that I read was the, well, read, 01:14:16.300 --> 01:14:19.340 well, listened to was the Horus Axeman short 01:14:19.340 --> 01:14:22.579 story. And so that was it. And so that's why 01:14:22.579 --> 01:14:25.380 I have like a huge bias towards Horus Axeman. 01:14:25.500 --> 01:14:27.840 I don't know what it is about him. I really love 01:14:27.840 --> 01:14:31.319 that guy from like head to toe, which is also 01:14:31.319 --> 01:14:35.619 like disgusting for most people. i think from 01:14:35.619 --> 01:14:41.239 like the first book i read was the first heretic 01:14:41.239 --> 01:14:43.859 comes to mind pretty fast there's a good no no 01:14:43.859 --> 01:14:49.159 fear um and i i do like myself horus rising a 01:14:49.159 --> 01:14:51.560 horse right oh flight of the eisenstein these 01:14:51.560 --> 01:15:00.960 are all classics these are all classics And then 01:15:00.960 --> 01:15:03.739 they invisibly just send Collins disgusted. How 01:15:03.739 --> 01:15:06.840 do you read some fantasy, you dumbass? You brought 01:15:06.840 --> 01:15:09.779 me back in with the Eldar fans and now I'm tuning 01:15:09.779 --> 01:15:13.079 back out. I'm just getting slapped around. You 01:15:13.079 --> 01:15:15.859 know, this is horrible. Am I having fun or do 01:15:15.859 --> 01:15:21.909 I hate it here? I can't tell. I do want to try 01:15:21.909 --> 01:15:23.789 and get into some fantasy at some point. I think 01:15:23.789 --> 01:15:26.350 some of the... For whatever reason, Slaves to 01:15:26.350 --> 01:15:29.390 Darkness looks like really fast. They have some 01:15:29.390 --> 01:15:31.430 sick models. And they're a little towards the 01:15:31.430 --> 01:15:33.369 elite end, so they're one of the cheaper AOS 01:15:33.369 --> 01:15:38.170 armies. Andy, should we read a couple donations? 01:15:38.930 --> 01:15:42.489 Yes, we have a few. Let me just pop this here. 01:15:43.430 --> 01:15:45.810 Okay, so the first one...

Elemental Council 01:17:13.829 --> 01:17:16.949 for me. So Japanese artists I follow will start 01:17:16.949 --> 01:17:19.130 trying Hot Blue Girls.

I would love to see an Elemental 01:17:25.510 --> 01:17:28.489 Council anime because it's a good book. It's 01:17:28.489 --> 01:17:31.590 the best Tao book there is. I mean, the easiest 01:17:31.590 --> 01:17:33.250 answer is Horus Heresy because it could be an 01:17:33.250 --> 01:17:38.300 actual series. but i like i like xenos i would 01:17:38.300 --> 01:17:40.560 i would like to see one about the harlequins 01:17:40.560 --> 01:17:43.119 because there's lots of nice vibrant colors you 01:17:43.119 --> 01:17:45.000 could have some really cool like action scenes 01:17:45.000 --> 01:17:48.079 because they're very I feel they would be a shoo 01:17:48.079 --> 01:17:51.180 -in for an anime. But when this was mentioned, 01:17:51.439 --> 01:17:53.319 and I'm seeing Colin coming back, it just made 01:17:53.319 --> 01:17:56.100 me think of, remember that Halo series where 01:17:56.100 --> 01:17:58.939 they did lots of anime? Yeah, Halo Legends, dude. 01:17:59.260 --> 01:18:03.439 Halo Legends. So good. The samurai bit. And I 01:18:03.439 --> 01:18:06.119 was like, oh, that'd be fun, but Warhammer. Julie, 01:18:06.199 --> 01:18:09.350 did you watch Halo Legends then? Dude, I remember, 01:18:09.430 --> 01:18:11.989 like, I remember the one that I watched was, 01:18:12.050 --> 01:18:14.770 like, I distinctly remember the ODST one still. 01:18:15.029 --> 01:18:17.409 Oh, Babysitter was a good one, yeah. Babysitter, 01:18:17.430 --> 01:18:21.069 yeah, I do remember that. I remember, I did watch 01:18:21.069 --> 01:18:23.949 them, I think, back in middle school, I want 01:18:23.949 --> 01:18:26.170 to say, was when it came out, like, back then. 01:18:26.489 --> 01:18:29.630 I haven't returned to them since. I should at 01:18:29.630 --> 01:18:31.869 one day look up what studios made them. That 01:18:31.869 --> 01:18:34.180 actually would be a very good one. I know. Toei 01:18:34.180 --> 01:18:36.420 made one, and you can very much tell because 01:18:36.420 --> 01:18:39.039 that one is just an episode of Dragon Ball Z, 01:18:39.119 --> 01:18:42.619 but replaced Goku with Master Chief. Oh, right. 01:18:42.819 --> 01:18:45.260 There's one that does a grab hammer, chasing 01:18:45.260 --> 01:18:49.020 him down. That's pretty cool. But I know, I mean, 01:18:49.100 --> 01:18:54.779 it's free on YouTube. You can just find it. Yeah. 01:18:54.859 --> 01:18:58.800 I mean, a Tao series would be the easiest pick 01:18:58.800 --> 01:19:01.159 because they're already in next and stuff like 01:19:01.159 --> 01:19:04.159 that. It's already very anime -esque. focus into 01:19:04.159 --> 01:19:06.460 that which they're not only actually anime they're 01:19:06.460 --> 01:19:09.060 very like old chinese and japanese or british 01:19:09.060 --> 01:19:12.279 culture i think i think this might be the most 01:19:12.279 --> 01:19:15.000 out there pick but i would i think i might kill 01:19:15.000 --> 01:19:17.460 for someone to make like cyberpunk edge runners 01:19:17.460 --> 01:19:22.399 necromoda edition that would be i i just had 01:19:22.399 --> 01:19:27.180 an idea um made me think of akira have dark mechanicum 01:19:27.180 --> 01:19:30.060 body horror with that like i remember that when 01:19:30.060 --> 01:19:31.619 he starts like getting like the integration of 01:19:31.619 --> 01:19:35.010 all that the mechanical parts yeah oh no he's 01:19:35.010 --> 01:19:37.229 becoming like a monster thingy like that would 01:19:37.229 --> 01:19:40.029 work very well with the dark mechanicum or something 01:19:40.029 --> 01:19:43.250 or chaos i suppose um because there is that uh 01:19:43.250 --> 01:19:45.770 hammer and bolter show with like western style 01:19:45.770 --> 01:19:50.590 information just doesn't quite gel it's like 01:19:50.590 --> 01:19:52.670 usually there's not enough frames like they're 01:19:52.670 --> 01:19:56.250 the infamous gravis like ultramarines floating 01:19:56.250 --> 01:19:59.310 in space with like flashing guns like this could 01:19:59.310 --> 01:20:04.319 be better quality but yeah Bit of a shame. And 01:20:04.319 --> 01:20:05.579 we've got one more. Would you like to read this 01:20:05.579 --> 01:20:07.340 one, Colin? Because it's at you specifically. 01:20:07.600 --> 01:20:10.359 Sure. At Colin. Just finished Godric and Felix. 01:20:10.619 --> 01:20:12.579 Snorri's End was the most tragic thing I've ever 01:20:12.579 --> 01:20:16.640 heard. Audiobooks only. Yeah, that'll change 01:20:16.640 --> 01:20:18.979 you. Kinslayer is a great book to read if you 01:20:18.979 --> 01:20:20.840 want to put down the book and just stare at the 01:20:20.840 --> 01:20:25.909 ceiling sad. The Pablo Escobar meme where it's 01:20:25.909 --> 01:20:28.350 just like him and a plague, where his arms folded 01:20:28.350 --> 01:20:32.130 in the distance. I'm doing the Blade Runner dying 01:20:32.130 --> 01:20:36.449 on my front porch, staring at the sky. Thank 01:20:36.449 --> 01:20:39.050 you, Nurgle's Jar. That's a silly Ysha name you 01:20:39.050 --> 01:20:44.909 got there. Ysha in the Jar. Yeah. Shall we see 01:20:44.909 --> 01:20:48.750 if I can find another one? I'm still going through 01:20:48.750 --> 01:20:50.909 these. We've got a few left. Oh, this is a good 01:20:50.909 --> 01:20:54.760 one. uh but it is uh not controversial i would 01:20:54.760 --> 01:20:57.859 say but it's uh it's uh it's a bit cheeky this 01:20:57.859 --> 01:21:01.399 one with the way it starts uh from saturnine 01:21:01.399 --> 01:21:04.340 sewer gator uh i got into warhammer thanks to 01:21:04.340 --> 01:21:07.640 a pirated copy of dawn of war soul storm oh spicy 01:21:07.640 --> 01:21:10.739 straight into the piracy uh i like the universe 01:21:10.739 --> 01:21:13.359 since at the time star wars felt too linear despite 01:21:13.359 --> 01:21:15.720 its setting so I was looking for something new. 01:21:15.859 --> 01:21:18.659 Having also been an avid reader of Tolkien, too, 01:21:18.819 --> 01:21:21.439 at the time, also helped me make the setting 01:21:21.439 --> 01:21:23.920 more palatable, as it's essentially dark fantasy 01:21:23.920 --> 01:21:26.220 with sci -fi shenanigans. It gave me room to 01:21:26.220 --> 01:21:28.260 make whatever faction of lore I want, which was 01:21:28.260 --> 01:21:30.699 cool for high school and college -aged me. The 01:21:30.699 --> 01:21:32.640 biggest Warhammer challenge so far is actually 01:21:32.640 --> 01:21:35.199 gathering and collecting physical books, minis, 01:21:35.199 --> 01:21:37.420 and things where I live, since Warhammer is still 01:21:37.420 --> 01:21:40.699 super niche in brackets. The city I live in has 01:21:40.699 --> 01:21:43.539 only one tabletop gaming store. Oof, I struggle. 01:21:44.220 --> 01:21:48.039 Yeah, same here, honestly. I live in a small 01:21:48.039 --> 01:21:51.960 city, though, so it works. I think it might be 01:21:51.960 --> 01:21:54.079 fair to say that you live in, quote, the sticks, 01:21:54.439 --> 01:21:58.899 Eli. Is that fair to say? I guess. I live in 01:21:58.899 --> 01:22:01.520 the prairies. Thank you very much. What is a 01:22:01.520 --> 01:22:05.159 prairie? Like a prairie dog? Like fields. Like 01:22:05.159 --> 01:22:09.000 fields of wheat. Same as, like, in the Midwest. 01:22:09.100 --> 01:22:13.630 It's not the sticks. It's just flat. there's 01:22:13.630 --> 01:22:15.569 prairies and then there's mountains and it's 01:22:15.569 --> 01:22:18.449 very pretty i'll have you know yeah it's like 01:22:18.449 --> 01:22:20.109 didn't say it wasn't pretty you can get pretty 01:22:20.109 --> 01:22:29.409 sticks not the sticks oh my gosh crazy is uh 01:22:29.409 --> 01:22:34.390 is dawn of war even like known about in japan 01:22:34.390 --> 01:22:38.069 i was like that was a while it was uh because 01:22:38.069 --> 01:22:41.970 starcraft is big enough still i imagine right 01:22:42.580 --> 01:22:45.859 Starcraft is big. Dawn of War is kind of like 01:22:45.859 --> 01:22:50.439 Starcraft. Yeah? No, I think it's very... Dawn 01:22:50.439 --> 01:22:52.800 of War is somewhat known. I think another thing 01:22:52.800 --> 01:22:55.119 to note with Dawn of War was that Dawn of War, 01:22:55.180 --> 01:22:58.500 I believe, was published by Sega, right? Yeah, 01:22:59.220 --> 01:23:03.039 maybe, actually. Oh, yes, because Sega did Space 01:23:03.039 --> 01:23:05.699 Marine with a tie -in of Relic, and they did, 01:23:05.819 --> 01:23:08.119 as far as I remember, Dawn of War as well, because 01:23:08.119 --> 01:23:12.020 Relic Entertainment was like... Yeah. So it's 01:23:12.020 --> 01:23:14.520 like... it's somewhat known put it like that 01:23:14.520 --> 01:23:17.119 so it's like if people are sort of a lot of the 01:23:17.119 --> 01:23:19.500 japanese players here do very much like oh yeah 01:23:19.500 --> 01:23:21.880 i i know of space train i know of dawn of war 01:23:21.880 --> 01:23:25.380 or total war that's like usually the the holy 01:23:25.380 --> 01:23:27.920 trinity i think that goes for really though anywhere 01:23:27.920 --> 01:23:30.560 though too in a sense is that it sort of clicks 01:23:30.560 --> 01:23:38.819 up let's see if i can share another one oh i'm 01:23:38.819 --> 01:23:41.350 pressing the wrong buttons again So this one's 01:23:41.350 --> 01:23:47.449 number one from BoweryLion184. I got into Warhammer 01:23:47.449 --> 01:23:49.649 from Space Marine 2 with my friend, who then 01:23:49.649 --> 01:23:52.130 held me hostage with lore drops, and I merely 01:23:52.130 --> 01:23:53.949 wanted to be the bugs that eat the blueberries. 01:23:54.189 --> 01:23:55.890 Very nice. We've got an ultra -means hater in 01:23:55.890 --> 01:24:00.949 here. I will say, because you mentioned earlier 01:24:00.949 --> 01:24:05.550 on about lore and translations, I do manual subs 01:24:05.550 --> 01:24:07.989 for all my videos, so I get the automatic translation 01:24:07.989 --> 01:24:13.630 from Google. in your opinion are the google language 01:24:13.630 --> 01:24:17.289 translations pretty bad or okay because i don't 01:24:17.289 --> 01:24:19.449 know what the quality is on my subtitles in that 01:24:19.449 --> 01:24:21.930 regard so i'm just like i write it manually space 01:24:21.930 --> 01:24:27.170 down let's go japan auto uh spanish auto and 01:24:27.170 --> 01:24:28.869 i'm like i don't know if this is terrible or 01:24:28.869 --> 01:24:33.939 not but it's going up there i people use them 01:24:33.939 --> 01:24:35.840 I think so that's the thing is like so definitely 01:24:35.840 --> 01:24:37.979 don't sort of sell them short in that sense a 01:24:37.979 --> 01:24:40.340 lot of people here sort of like oh I I just want 01:24:40.340 --> 01:24:42.220 to know like a little bit more about 40k lore 01:24:42.220 --> 01:24:45.260 um I I guess we're just putting up the subs and 01:24:45.260 --> 01:24:47.819 just seeing what we can do and so yeah there's 01:24:47.819 --> 01:24:50.420 definitely a little bit of a viewer base uh there 01:24:50.420 --> 01:24:56.119 um for I think I think for myself, I haven't, 01:24:56.119 --> 01:24:58.539 the one which is, is, is I absolutely refuse 01:24:58.539 --> 01:25:00.439 it. I'll do subs. And I think that's, that's 01:25:00.439 --> 01:25:02.899 fine. But the, the auto dub feature that YouTube, 01:25:03.020 --> 01:25:05.840 one thing I will not. I've heard bad things about 01:25:05.840 --> 01:25:09.220 that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I've gotten. i've a lot 01:25:09.220 --> 01:25:11.060 of people have complained about it because i 01:25:11.060 --> 01:25:13.140 they just turned it on without telling anyone 01:25:13.140 --> 01:25:15.340 so i was like i didn't know that was a thing 01:25:15.340 --> 01:25:18.399 my bad everyone they sent an email a few weeks 01:25:18.399 --> 01:25:20.840 before being like hey by the way make sure you 01:25:20.840 --> 01:25:23.439 turn and like i've had to turn mine off several 01:25:23.439 --> 01:25:25.800 times because it re -ticked itself i'm like off 01:25:25.800 --> 01:25:30.079 go away and i and i remember uh speaking to rogue 01:25:30.079 --> 01:25:33.270 hobbies and just like by the way you've got auto 01:25:33.270 --> 01:25:35.090 dubbing and it was really funny because it was 01:25:35.090 --> 01:25:37.130 just her voice in spanish and french and stuff 01:25:37.130 --> 01:25:39.810 and then she deleted them all and then she put 01:25:39.810 --> 01:25:41.569 new videos up with the option turned off and 01:25:41.569 --> 01:25:43.649 i'm like you're still spanish and she's like 01:25:43.649 --> 01:25:46.390 oh my god and i'd like walk her through time 01:25:46.390 --> 01:25:50.189 off that again and it's such a thing i understand 01:25:50.189 --> 01:25:53.000 their perspective of like if we auto dub dub 01:25:53.000 --> 01:25:55.520 it reaches more people but then I'm also one 01:25:55.520 --> 01:25:57.539 of those people who when I watch like international 01:25:57.539 --> 01:26:00.159 media I want to hear it as it was intended to 01:26:00.159 --> 01:26:01.960 be heard I want to like just put the subtitles 01:26:01.960 --> 01:26:04.819 on whether it's like Pan's Labyrinth or if it's 01:26:04.819 --> 01:26:07.579 an anime I'm like I want to like or the or when 01:26:07.579 --> 01:26:09.819 I play the Yakuza games I just I play the Japanese 01:26:09.819 --> 01:26:13.140 dub and I just read the subtitles because oh 01:26:13.140 --> 01:26:15.819 even though the the new games are like hey Danny 01:26:15.819 --> 01:26:18.399 Trejo's in it and George Takei it's like okay 01:26:18.399 --> 01:26:21.590 but like i don't like most of the cast because 01:26:21.590 --> 01:26:23.149 it's just like a lot of californian guys going 01:26:23.149 --> 01:26:27.090 oh it's me it's me hey hey there my name's itchy 01:26:27.090 --> 01:26:30.289 barn how's it going i'm like why are you going 01:26:30.289 --> 01:26:33.149 every time you say a word oh i don't like it 01:26:33.149 --> 01:26:35.810 that can be pretty painful i don't i'm not really 01:26:35.810 --> 01:26:37.989 big i'm not being an anime anymore but that can 01:26:37.989 --> 01:26:40.430 be pretty painful i like i've seen i've seen 01:26:40.430 --> 01:26:43.310 clips of what my hero academia sounds like dubbed 01:26:43.310 --> 01:26:46.970 where's anyone watch that show it's like i couldn't 01:26:46.970 --> 01:26:48.789 believe what i was hearing it just sounds so 01:26:48.789 --> 01:26:51.989 abysmally like terrible because whatever chris 01:26:51.989 --> 01:26:54.590 sabbath is being all might it's good and then 01:26:54.590 --> 01:26:58.710 everyone else talks it's like oh god he's like 01:26:58.710 --> 01:27:02.909 what is this um i think what i think what's fun 01:27:02.909 --> 01:27:04.810 about that is also it kind of works on the flip 01:27:04.810 --> 01:27:07.510 side as well where like in here we get japanese 01:27:07.510 --> 01:27:10.729 stubs of like foreign stuff right so it's like 01:27:10.729 --> 01:27:13.369 so like people aren't aren't familiar with like 01:27:13.369 --> 01:27:16.090 i think like the fast example i can give is like 01:27:16.560 --> 01:27:20.819 um like peter cullen is is not an optimist prime 01:27:20.819 --> 01:27:26.060 here which is like it's such an l um but god 01:27:26.060 --> 01:27:28.680 bless uh the actual actor that they got for it 01:27:28.680 --> 01:27:32.060 there's a there's an actor um you might know 01:27:32.060 --> 01:27:34.560 him from he did uh what was it called galactic 01:27:34.560 --> 01:27:37.859 heroes i think um i don't know if you guys know 01:27:37.859 --> 01:27:42.920 that series um but he was he is he is a fairly 01:27:42.920 --> 01:27:45.539 decent substitute so they they tried to get someone 01:27:45.920 --> 01:27:48.500 but that's the problem it's like sometimes you 01:27:48.500 --> 01:27:50.800 don't you don't get that substitute for peter 01:27:50.800 --> 01:27:54.399 cullen you know what i'm saying so yeah because 01:27:54.399 --> 01:27:55.739 with the whole like dubbing and like because 01:27:55.739 --> 01:27:57.460 i occasionally want to go on audible because 01:27:57.460 --> 01:27:59.979 i get like i like to get books on audible if 01:27:59.979 --> 01:28:02.460 i can for warhammer i'll see like oh there's 01:28:02.460 --> 01:28:05.159 a german dub of like paul of cadia or whatever 01:28:05.159 --> 01:28:08.159 but i don't see many other language like options 01:28:08.159 --> 01:28:09.960 i don't know if that's just what i can see or 01:28:09.960 --> 01:28:12.359 what's available but the only trouble i think 01:28:12.359 --> 01:28:15.000 is that like games workshop is notoriously bad 01:28:15.000 --> 01:28:17.979 at making good decisions for their like audience 01:28:17.979 --> 01:28:21.760 base and i feel like they'll never be like a 01:28:21.760 --> 01:28:25.819 a robust like i don't think they'd ever put the 01:28:25.819 --> 01:28:28.260 effort into being like all of our cat back catalog 01:28:28.260 --> 01:28:31.060 of black library will just convert into different 01:28:31.060 --> 01:28:32.920 languages like even when you look on their official 01:28:32.920 --> 01:28:35.340 site say would you like to buy the audiobooks 01:28:35.340 --> 01:28:37.420 at like five times the price of them on audible 01:28:37.420 --> 01:28:39.840 say why would i ever use this website this is 01:28:39.840 --> 01:28:43.000 rubbish and i i feel like it's a bit of a shame 01:28:43.000 --> 01:28:46.319 that it then falls to the international community 01:28:46.319 --> 01:28:50.859 used to like grassroots their own way of like 01:28:51.729 --> 01:28:53.710 getting people into the hobby in that regard 01:28:53.710 --> 01:28:57.529 um but again i'm doing my best with subtitles 01:28:57.529 --> 01:29:03.949 it's good fun yeah uh very good andy i uh i have 01:29:03.949 --> 01:29:06.630 nothing else to say i i'm out of questions i 01:29:06.630 --> 01:29:09.569 uh i actually got a question if you okay because 01:29:09.569 --> 01:29:13.909 like so because for me um i'm just super curious 01:29:13.909 --> 01:29:16.789 it's in the sense of you guys are all i i would 01:29:16.789 --> 01:29:19.630 say um to my knowledge at the very least a little 01:29:19.630 --> 01:29:21.930 bit more well -versed in the lore side of things 01:29:21.930 --> 01:29:24.329 correct so that's just sort of it's just just 01:29:24.329 --> 01:29:27.329 a little bit you know um and i would be super 01:29:27.329 --> 01:29:29.430 curious to know so like because we just had that 01:29:29.430 --> 01:29:31.270 question when it came to sort of the adaptation 01:29:31.270 --> 01:29:34.890 of say something like from warhammer into anime 01:29:34.890 --> 01:29:37.989 as a whole just to just to sort of like in a 01:29:37.989 --> 01:29:39.729 way revisit but i want to kind of like broaden 01:29:39.729 --> 01:29:42.069 out that question a little bit do you guys think 01:29:42.069 --> 01:29:48.060 that um a story like 40k would translate well 01:29:48.060 --> 01:29:51.920 into sort of the japanese style of storytelling 01:29:51.920 --> 01:29:54.739 so say you get like everyone you get anime right 01:29:54.739 --> 01:29:56.340 you have your classic like you know like all 01:29:56.340 --> 01:29:58.560 these sort of like mannerisms the way it's visually 01:29:58.560 --> 01:30:00.420 told do you think that's something that would 01:30:00.420 --> 01:30:04.119 work well for for something like 40k or something 01:30:04.119 --> 01:30:05.979 that's something that just any games workshop 01:30:05.979 --> 01:30:09.640 ip as a whole i would I would say 40 K could, 01:30:09.779 --> 01:30:12.159 because it's such a big universe that you could 01:30:12.159 --> 01:30:15.340 make basically whatever genre you want. And, 01:30:15.439 --> 01:30:17.479 you know, at the end you just show like a symbol 01:30:17.479 --> 01:30:19.420 of corn or something to tie it all together. 01:30:19.600 --> 01:30:21.760 Yeah. Until then you couldn't make it anything 01:30:21.760 --> 01:30:24.340 like some Necromunda books. They're just like 01:30:24.340 --> 01:30:26.880 cyberpunk dystopia stories. They have nothing 01:30:26.880 --> 01:30:29.659 to do with the galaxy at large, but it's still 01:30:29.659 --> 01:30:34.199 a Warhammer book. Yeah. Yeah. Like, I know, I 01:30:34.199 --> 01:30:36.300 feel like that's in some ways kind of a cop out 01:30:36.300 --> 01:30:38.800 because it's basically saying, Yeah, just make 01:30:38.800 --> 01:30:40.659 whatever story you want and then give it a Warhammer 01:30:40.659 --> 01:30:44.319 skin, but the setting is made in a way to encourage 01:30:44.319 --> 01:30:47.159 that. That's part of the draw to it. Painting 01:30:47.159 --> 01:30:50.479 your own guys, make them whatever you want. It 01:30:50.479 --> 01:30:53.039 is partly encouraged to do that whatever the 01:30:53.039 --> 01:30:56.380 hell you want. I think some factions would work 01:30:56.380 --> 01:30:58.859 and some factions it would be harder to do. I 01:30:58.859 --> 01:31:01.300 think Tau and Eldar, you can make enemies around 01:31:01.300 --> 01:31:04.680 pretty easily, especially Eldar. I'm not sure 01:31:04.680 --> 01:31:06.539 why. I think they would just fit an art style. 01:31:07.069 --> 01:31:09.350 and storytelling aesthetic like that. And then 01:31:09.350 --> 01:31:11.750 Tao a little bit. And then the more you get into 01:31:11.750 --> 01:31:15.529 the more grimdarky stuff, I guess, like Space 01:31:15.529 --> 01:31:18.170 Marines and Imperium and even Orcs, it might 01:31:18.170 --> 01:31:21.890 be getting harder and harder to kind of... I 01:31:21.890 --> 01:31:27.810 think they're goofy enough. You could. It's just... 01:31:27.810 --> 01:31:30.489 I guess it depends on the perspective. You can 01:31:30.489 --> 01:31:32.210 do an Orc perspective book where they're goofy 01:31:32.210 --> 01:31:35.069 and silly. But it'd be a lot harder to do maybe 01:31:35.069 --> 01:31:39.430 a human's perspective on an orc. I don't think 01:31:39.430 --> 01:31:44.470 the grimdark thing would keep it from getting 01:31:44.470 --> 01:31:48.729 translated. Yeah. One thing I was going to say 01:31:48.729 --> 01:31:51.869 was I think that nowadays the setting is less 01:31:51.869 --> 01:31:56.270 grimdark. I think that's a problem when I think 01:31:56.270 --> 01:31:59.130 of things like Tetsuo the Iron Man and Akira 01:31:59.130 --> 01:32:02.460 and like... some some media that i've seen from 01:32:02.460 --> 01:32:06.039 japan there's some really like grimy and gritty 01:32:06.039 --> 01:32:11.000 and grim like franchises and and films and animes 01:32:11.000 --> 01:32:12.840 and stuff so like i think that would be very 01:32:12.840 --> 01:32:16.979 enticing for a lot of japanese fans but the the 01:32:16.979 --> 01:32:18.779 hobby's kind of getting away from that angle 01:32:18.779 --> 01:32:21.180 it's a bit more clean it's a bit more you know 01:32:21.180 --> 01:32:23.720 prim and proper like almost uh world of warcraft 01:32:23.720 --> 01:32:26.439 esked when i think of like the koteya's artwork 01:32:26.439 --> 01:32:28.079 they did for him in his new book and i'm like 01:32:28.910 --> 01:32:31.449 The old one was better. We had like tubes sticking 01:32:31.449 --> 01:32:34.289 out of his head and it was like kind of 90s grim 01:32:34.289 --> 01:32:39.250 aesthetic or 80s grim aesthetic, I suppose. I 01:32:39.250 --> 01:32:43.069 don't know. It would be. And again, I've heard 01:32:43.069 --> 01:32:49.449 rumors that the new still being produced Warhammer 01:32:49.449 --> 01:32:51.649 TV show is possibly going to be set during the 01:32:51.649 --> 01:32:53.640 scouring. which I don't know how much of that 01:32:53.640 --> 01:32:55.819 is valid. I'm still not sure if I'm convinced 01:32:55.819 --> 01:32:59.720 that this TV show is happening. GW has said that 01:32:59.720 --> 01:33:01.560 they have no control of it. So they're like, 01:33:01.600 --> 01:33:04.159 we're in the dark too because we don't know what's 01:33:04.159 --> 01:33:06.979 going on. We have no control over the IP. It's 01:33:06.979 --> 01:33:11.119 Amazon's thing. And yeah, so it's kind of like 01:33:11.119 --> 01:33:12.600 hard to tell like, oh, is this going to like, 01:33:12.760 --> 01:33:15.819 is it going to be an Eisenhorn thing? Is it going 01:33:15.819 --> 01:33:17.420 to be Horace Heresy? Is it going to be the scouring? 01:33:17.500 --> 01:33:19.319 Because scouring would make sense of like the 01:33:19.319 --> 01:33:22.100 new books are coming out. It's that. that sweet 01:33:22.100 --> 01:33:24.899 spot of, it's not the glory days of pre heresy. 01:33:24.979 --> 01:33:27.439 It's not the 41st millennium where it's a bit 01:33:27.439 --> 01:33:30.159 more like there isn't as much of a structured 01:33:30.159 --> 01:33:32.920 timeline where it's still ongoing. The scouring 01:33:32.920 --> 01:33:34.819 might be the perfect place to be like, Hey, it's 01:33:34.819 --> 01:33:36.979 like game of Thrones almost where it's, it's 01:33:36.979 --> 01:33:40.399 a grim setting in the universe. It's got the 01:33:40.399 --> 01:33:42.800 potential to be quite a long series without going 01:33:42.800 --> 01:33:48.699 on indefinitely. We'll see how it goes. But again, 01:33:49.020 --> 01:33:51.659 like i don't really have any knowledge about 01:33:51.659 --> 01:33:54.699 how for example in japan certain ips are compared 01:33:54.699 --> 01:33:58.020 to their western counterparts like i assume star 01:33:58.020 --> 01:34:00.619 wars does okay but i don't know if it's like 01:34:00.619 --> 01:34:04.000 big like it isn't in the west and if if that's 01:34:04.000 --> 01:34:05.800 like a corollary if that would be like a good 01:34:05.800 --> 01:34:08.899 like yardstick to measure the potential for warhammer 01:34:08.899 --> 01:34:11.399 because it's like sci -fi or would something 01:34:11.399 --> 01:34:13.359 like game of thrones be more apt but then is 01:34:13.359 --> 01:34:15.539 that very popular and like i don't know like 01:34:15.539 --> 01:34:17.720 i don't know how you would gauge it to an extent 01:34:19.420 --> 01:34:21.380 yeah it's a tough call on that one i mean like 01:34:21.380 --> 01:34:23.840 star wars itself is a whole other like sort of 01:34:23.840 --> 01:34:27.460 like struggle story uh at least here um i mean 01:34:27.460 --> 01:34:30.939 for for us overseas right we got we got stuff 01:34:30.939 --> 01:34:33.520 like star wars visions um so that's sort of like 01:34:33.520 --> 01:34:34.899 you get a little bit of lens it's like oh this 01:34:34.899 --> 01:34:37.020 is sort of maybe japan's take on it and it's 01:34:37.020 --> 01:34:41.100 very much and 40k fits this niche as well where 01:34:41.100 --> 01:34:45.039 if you know you know you know but the question 01:34:45.039 --> 01:34:48.640 is just do Does the household know? Does the 01:34:48.640 --> 01:34:51.319 people sitting in front of the TVs know? That's 01:34:51.319 --> 01:34:53.380 where it gets a little more difficult, you know? 01:34:54.420 --> 01:34:59.079 I think, like, Star Wars is interesting in that 01:34:59.079 --> 01:35:02.300 sense because Star Wars, the prequel series are 01:35:02.300 --> 01:35:05.960 not a thing here, right? Like, the actual originals, 01:35:05.960 --> 01:35:09.420 yeah. That's where General Grievous is. Yeah, 01:35:09.439 --> 01:35:12.380 I know. It's so cool. the most anime character 01:35:12.380 --> 01:35:18.300 a fine addition to my collection runs off a building 01:35:18.300 --> 01:35:23.699 um but for whatever reason here people people 01:35:23.699 --> 01:35:25.840 and this is where i'm gonna i'm gonna get like 01:35:25.840 --> 01:35:28.739 three people leaving the car right away um the 01:35:28.739 --> 01:35:32.420 most popular series here is the sequel trilogy 01:35:33.359 --> 01:35:42.500 Oh no. There's like, there's just, yeah. Oh my 01:35:42.500 --> 01:35:45.880 goodness. The Japan star Wars situation is crazy. 01:35:51.140 --> 01:35:57.260 But like, yeah, there's, it's like, it's, I don't 01:35:57.260 --> 01:35:58.859 know what it is. It might be just because just 01:35:58.859 --> 01:36:02.060 how. uh prevalent disney is here and how much 01:36:02.060 --> 01:36:04.539 it's heavily marked like like disneyland is is 01:36:04.539 --> 01:36:06.659 right there next to tokyo just for reference 01:36:06.659 --> 01:36:09.760 and that's not a star wars ride but like i say 01:36:09.760 --> 01:36:12.260 i see people here and it's like there are like 01:36:12.260 --> 01:36:14.699 hardcore nerds which are like oh god what's like 01:36:14.699 --> 01:36:18.100 what what is going on in i remember i saw i remember 01:36:18.100 --> 01:36:20.319 like when nine came out there was like a youtube 01:36:20.319 --> 01:36:22.739 video from like a popular japanese youtuber that 01:36:22.739 --> 01:36:25.279 came out that was just like what did i just watch 01:36:25.279 --> 01:36:27.260 and that was just what it was i know which is 01:36:27.260 --> 01:36:30.479 really good um but like yeah when it comes to 01:36:30.479 --> 01:36:33.020 marketing it's all sequel stuff here i don't 01:36:33.020 --> 01:36:35.640 know what it is i don't know what it is it's 01:36:35.640 --> 01:36:39.699 just a thing yeah so do you think a warhammer 01:36:39.699 --> 01:36:45.079 anime uh would work i would i would love for 01:36:45.079 --> 01:36:48.840 it to happen um i think it's one of those tricky 01:36:48.840 --> 01:36:52.520 things in production where the logistics of it 01:36:52.520 --> 01:36:56.720 is probably a lot harder than i i want but the 01:36:56.720 --> 01:37:01.359 concept is it could be great um i would love 01:37:01.359 --> 01:37:03.699 to see like i think the i always had this idea 01:37:03.699 --> 01:37:06.619 in my head where i think like sort of and and 01:37:06.619 --> 01:37:08.739 this once again this goes back to the mecca bias 01:37:08.739 --> 01:37:11.600 for me right it's a huge mecca bias obviously 01:37:11.600 --> 01:37:13.800 i think tao is a pretty like who's not gonna 01:37:13.800 --> 01:37:16.079 love like something that's like sunrise made 01:37:16.079 --> 01:37:19.300 that just has like a reptide with full like thruster 01:37:19.300 --> 01:37:22.600 porn on it i would be so down for that but like 01:37:22.600 --> 01:37:26.430 um i think like off the top like just you can 01:37:26.430 --> 01:37:29.510 do like more sort of um like go back to like 01:37:29.510 --> 01:37:33.210 the 1990s stuff right um like i'd love like to 01:37:33.210 --> 01:37:35.689 see like something sort of like um like i think 01:37:35.689 --> 01:37:38.050 iron warriors would actually be a great option 01:37:38.050 --> 01:37:40.930 for that sorry going back to space marines but 01:37:40.930 --> 01:37:44.479 like iron warriors with like metal like you can 01:37:44.479 --> 01:37:46.579 put some like just put like a metal soundtrack 01:37:46.579 --> 01:37:49.439 over that and then like do like a sort of like 01:37:49.439 --> 01:37:51.979 bubblegum crisis kind of x like pistons everywhere 01:37:51.979 --> 01:37:54.119 you know like you know when you get like the 01:37:54.119 --> 01:37:55.659 anime likes doing this stuff when you get the 01:37:55.659 --> 01:37:58.279 piston like doing this and the steam comes out 01:37:58.279 --> 01:38:00.439 you know they have that i can definitely see 01:38:00.439 --> 01:38:04.699 stuff like that um but yeah i like i had that 01:38:04.699 --> 01:38:06.359 there was like that or like you could do the 01:38:06.359 --> 01:38:08.439 steam as well for like butcher's nails i think 01:38:08.439 --> 01:38:10.220 that would be really cool like show like the 01:38:10.220 --> 01:38:11.680 nails like full power and they're like kind of 01:38:11.680 --> 01:38:14.100 like putting out steam in the back yeah it's 01:38:14.100 --> 01:38:16.699 like a transformation scene of angron becoming 01:38:16.699 --> 01:38:20.020 demon primark and like an anime yeah the horns 01:38:20.020 --> 01:38:22.119 coming out and his face changing and i mean some 01:38:22.119 --> 01:38:24.600 of the hammer and bolter stuff i think if they 01:38:24.600 --> 01:38:26.739 made that you know more long running would fit 01:38:26.739 --> 01:38:28.460 the vibe now they would need to give it more 01:38:28.460 --> 01:38:31.420 than you know two frames a minute well there 01:38:31.420 --> 01:38:33.930 was that that one death guard episode where they 01:38:33.930 --> 01:38:35.869 made the most they made the most disgusting animation 01:38:35.869 --> 01:38:38.350 i've ever seen in my life it's like a plague 01:38:38.350 --> 01:38:40.630 marine turning into like a thing that eats a 01:38:40.630 --> 01:38:42.789 thing and eats the thing it's like pulsing and 01:38:42.789 --> 01:38:44.710 there's like stuff coming out of it anyway this 01:38:44.710 --> 01:38:48.069 is grotesque and i love it i think you could 01:38:48.069 --> 01:38:52.090 do an assassin you could totally do an officio 01:38:52.090 --> 01:38:55.489 assassin storyline and animate that would that 01:38:55.489 --> 01:38:57.250 would be cool i think that would work really 01:38:57.250 --> 01:38:59.829 well Although I think, too, like you said, Julius, 01:39:00.069 --> 01:39:02.310 it's a little earlier, though. I think it is 01:39:02.310 --> 01:39:07.229 a thing in America, too. It's not quite yet enough 01:39:07.229 --> 01:39:11.550 of a household name to justify a lot of that 01:39:11.550 --> 01:39:13.449 stuff, I feel like, at least in the Isaac Ames 01:39:13.449 --> 01:39:16.909 workshop. Because even with the mystical Henry 01:39:16.909 --> 01:39:19.829 Cavill show that may or may not exist, and Schrodinger's 01:39:19.829 --> 01:39:23.050 Henry Cavill warhead. Schrodinger's Cavill, yeah. 01:39:24.350 --> 01:39:27.529 like even with that like most most people i know 01:39:27.529 --> 01:39:31.449 like personally only know what warhammer is because 01:39:31.449 --> 01:39:33.329 when they ask what do you do for a living like 01:39:33.329 --> 01:39:39.789 well i talk about my toy soldiers let's go so 01:39:39.789 --> 01:39:42.869 but no before i like even before i got into it 01:39:42.869 --> 01:39:46.369 like most people didn't have a damn clue unless 01:39:46.369 --> 01:39:50.220 they had happened to play warhammer which you're 01:39:50.220 --> 01:39:51.739 playing it you're obviously going to know what 01:39:51.739 --> 01:39:54.000 it is but like the average person at least in 01:39:54.000 --> 01:39:56.920 the states too doesn't have much uh knowledge 01:39:56.920 --> 01:40:00.640 on it a good anime would like tons of people 01:40:00.640 --> 01:40:03.539 would watch that in all the hemispheres too like 01:40:03.539 --> 01:40:06.680 everyone loves anime around the whole world like 01:40:06.680 --> 01:40:09.680 i don't know gw just hates risk taking even if 01:40:09.680 --> 01:40:12.119 it would even if the payoff is $1 trillion billion. 01:40:12.640 --> 01:40:14.380 Well, yeah, of course. They said video games 01:40:14.380 --> 01:40:18.460 weren't a worthwhile investment in 2015. 2015. 01:40:19.560 --> 01:40:22.199 They did a Konami. What do you mean? What do 01:40:22.199 --> 01:40:25.979 you mean? I would be ill not to mention this. 01:40:26.020 --> 01:40:30.500 So actually bouncing off of that, Eli, I believe 01:40:30.500 --> 01:40:33.930 Warhammer... did actually do one thing which 01:40:33.930 --> 01:40:36.409 is pretty interesting which was if you guys remember 01:40:36.409 --> 01:40:39.010 um i think it was a year or two back they released 01:40:39.010 --> 01:40:44.029 a death watch cinematic short um that one was 01:40:44.029 --> 01:40:47.329 made by a studio called safe house uh safe house 01:40:47.329 --> 01:40:51.829 is a tokyo -based studio so it actually is a 01:40:51.829 --> 01:40:54.289 japanese studio and i believe they partner with 01:40:54.289 --> 01:40:57.630 bandai actually on that one which is really interesting 01:40:57.630 --> 01:41:00.170 so i guess there's a whole thing to say yeah 01:41:00.170 --> 01:41:04.649 there's there is slivers of hope there uh that 01:41:04.649 --> 01:41:06.770 something could happen they got they got some 01:41:06.770 --> 01:41:09.430 feet on the ground but the question is just you 01:41:09.430 --> 01:41:12.090 know it's like are we gonna get like you know 01:41:12.090 --> 01:41:14.090 it's like the question is are we gonna get like 01:41:14.090 --> 01:41:17.850 something that's chainsaw man quality aot quality 01:41:17.850 --> 01:41:20.789 that's the question which yeah we have to start 01:41:20.789 --> 01:41:22.789 asking it's like do we get that or we get one 01:41:22.789 --> 01:41:26.329 punch man season three like bandai also has that 01:41:26.329 --> 01:41:30.529 um amazon connection where a while back in london 01:41:30.529 --> 01:41:33.229 they did like a it was a gundam movie premiere 01:41:33.229 --> 01:41:35.649 but it wasn't it was it was a smash of all these 01:41:35.649 --> 01:41:38.010 like new episodes of a tv series they kind of 01:41:38.010 --> 01:41:39.890 like stick they'd stuck it together and they 01:41:39.890 --> 01:41:42.630 did like a movie premiere and it was like the 01:41:42.630 --> 01:41:44.569 last episode was the first episode and they cut 01:41:44.569 --> 01:41:46.649 bits out so like i went to watch and i was like 01:41:46.649 --> 01:41:49.670 i have no idea what's going on but it was like 01:41:49.670 --> 01:41:50.989 okay well that's interesting because they obviously 01:41:50.989 --> 01:41:53.149 like partnered with i think amazon was the platform 01:41:53.149 --> 01:41:55.899 where you can watch the show So if it's like 01:41:55.899 --> 01:41:58.039 the trifecta of like, you've got Bandai, you've 01:41:58.039 --> 01:42:00.800 got Games Workshop, you've got Amazon, maybe 01:42:00.800 --> 01:42:04.340 they can get it working. You know who would be 01:42:04.340 --> 01:42:07.560 a perfect anime character? Aramon. Aramon would 01:42:07.560 --> 01:42:12.060 be a perfect anime character. Is that because 01:42:12.060 --> 01:42:14.159 you could do a One Piece style thousand episode 01:42:14.159 --> 01:42:16.159 shenanigans where he's trying to reverse the 01:42:16.159 --> 01:42:18.300 Rubicon? He can go on a million different adventures. 01:42:18.619 --> 01:42:21.779 He's like a scheming, very serious guy. like 01:42:21.779 --> 01:42:24.119 i could hear his voice in japanese it would totally 01:42:24.119 --> 01:42:25.859 it would totally work i could totally hear it 01:42:25.859 --> 01:42:29.319 lucy's the eternal would also be awesome in anime 01:42:29.319 --> 01:42:33.300 i think he would oh man i think my dream cast 01:42:33.300 --> 01:42:36.079 and just like on this i would kill for so much 01:42:36.079 --> 01:42:40.359 to get uh the uh the voice actor for dio yeah 01:42:40.359 --> 01:42:42.779 i would go for him to be like karn or something 01:42:42.779 --> 01:42:49.979 oh yeah who would he fit the most Honestly, I 01:42:49.979 --> 01:42:54.819 think I might go in for Orokin. Oh, man. Actually, 01:42:55.640 --> 01:42:58.960 Necrons would also be an awesome anime story. 01:42:59.000 --> 01:43:03.199 It would? Yeah. Yeah, I can pick all four Chaos 01:43:03.199 --> 01:43:06.079 champions as anime characters. We gotta remake 01:43:06.079 --> 01:43:10.760 Dio versus Jotaro, but it's... No, it's... No, 01:43:10.859 --> 01:43:15.119 fuck. Imhotek versus Helbrecht. Yeah, that'd 01:43:15.119 --> 01:43:17.699 be cool. I can see the four champions of Chaos 01:43:17.699 --> 01:43:20.000 as Jojo villains, now that I think about it. 01:43:20.939 --> 01:43:24.220 I have an idea. It's insane, but bear with me. 01:43:24.640 --> 01:43:28.829 We get Studio Ghibli. Make one about a watcher 01:43:28.829 --> 01:43:31.489 in the dark from the Dark Angels. This little 01:43:31.489 --> 01:43:34.069 guy in his robes with his little sword going 01:43:34.069 --> 01:43:37.109 around the rock. That'd be fun. That'd be funny. 01:43:37.470 --> 01:43:39.510 Yeah, and seeing his perspective looking up to 01:43:39.510 --> 01:43:45.890 Asriel. Silly watcher. That could be funny. That's 01:43:45.890 --> 01:43:51.399 like... That could be a Ghibli film. it will 01:43:51.399 --> 01:43:53.260 work it's like i i don't know why my like my 01:43:53.260 --> 01:43:56.239 mind straight went to when you said jb i straight 01:43:56.239 --> 01:43:58.479 went to gray with the fireflies so it's like 01:43:58.479 --> 01:44:03.579 a really bad they go depressing when they want 01:44:03.579 --> 01:44:06.260 to like oh yeah so it's like i'm just like imagine 01:44:06.260 --> 01:44:08.319 like the washington just like comes out and the 01:44:08.319 --> 01:44:11.739 entire like The Space Marine Squad is just dead. 01:44:13.180 --> 01:44:16.300 Or it's just a bunch of Cadian orphans. Like, 01:44:16.340 --> 01:44:19.220 oh god. They're just looking up and they're just 01:44:19.220 --> 01:44:21.619 seeing the Blackstone Fortress holding hands 01:44:21.619 --> 01:44:23.939 as it's about to impact and kill everyone. Oh 01:44:23.939 --> 01:44:29.960 no. It's harder for me to imagine like, I don't 01:44:29.960 --> 01:44:32.880 know, someone like Marnes Calgar or like Dante. 01:44:33.239 --> 01:44:35.399 It's harder for me to imagine them in an anime 01:44:35.399 --> 01:44:40.170 than it is characters like Lucius. Marnius came 01:44:40.170 --> 01:44:41.909 kind of close in his comic where he rips the 01:44:41.909 --> 01:44:45.609 head off a Lord of Skull. He's got that energy. 01:44:45.770 --> 01:44:53.350 He's got that dog in him. I guess other than 01:44:53.350 --> 01:44:54.970 that, is there anything else we should cover 01:44:54.970 --> 01:44:56.890 or should we get through the last donations and 01:44:56.890 --> 01:44:58.890 call it a day? We've been going a good hour and 01:44:58.890 --> 01:45:02.149 45. We've got to keep Julius forever. Hey, it's 01:45:02.149 --> 01:45:06.010 four hours. Let's keep going. What time is it? 01:45:06.050 --> 01:45:08.779 I guess it's becoming morning now. It is morning, 01:45:08.800 --> 01:45:11.020 so yeah, we're just about to hit 8. Yeah, this 01:45:11.020 --> 01:45:13.199 guy joined the call at what, like 5 .30 a .m.? 01:45:13.199 --> 01:45:15.640 Yeah, we're doing great. Thank you very much. 01:45:16.119 --> 01:45:19.479 Thank you, sir. No, this was a lot of fun. Thanks 01:45:19.479 --> 01:45:21.479 for having me. It was awesome to have you. Great 01:45:21.479 --> 01:45:24.260 to have you. We've only got a few donations, 01:45:24.479 --> 01:45:26.039 so let's go through these. I'll start us off 01:45:26.039 --> 01:45:29.020 from Joe Pippin for $10. Thank you very much. 01:45:29.609 --> 01:45:31.630 One of the reasons I got into Warhammer because 01:45:31.630 --> 01:45:33.529 the Emperor basically cut rid of human racism 01:45:33.529 --> 01:45:36.510 and replaced it with alien racism. Yep. Also, 01:45:36.569 --> 01:45:38.829 I found Luton 09 vids on Primarchs and Space 01:45:38.829 --> 01:45:42.930 Elves. Yeah. The one thing that the Emperor did, 01:45:43.010 --> 01:45:46.289 passing the buck for intolerance. We're going 01:45:46.289 --> 01:45:52.250 across species lines. This is a loophole. We've 01:45:52.250 --> 01:45:54.750 got two from Donkey Man. One for Colin, one for 01:45:54.750 --> 01:46:01.119 Eli. Is this me? I think the only sub movies 01:46:01.119 --> 01:46:05.100 I've watched are Passion of the Christ and the 01:46:05.100 --> 01:46:06.859 French version of Brotherhood of the Wolf. I 01:46:06.859 --> 01:46:08.560 wasn't ready for that. What language do you speak? 01:46:10.779 --> 01:46:16.260 Wow. I mean, check out any Guillermo del Toro 01:46:16.260 --> 01:46:18.699 movie because a lot of that, even the new Frankenstein 01:46:18.699 --> 01:46:21.239 is good. It has a bit of subtitles. I think it's 01:46:21.239 --> 01:46:24.340 Dutch or Belgian sailors at the beginning and 01:46:24.340 --> 01:46:28.180 then it's like English. And again, I think it 01:46:28.180 --> 01:46:32.380 was $2. Sinan -style anime of Gottrick and Felix. 01:46:32.859 --> 01:46:37.079 Wow. Sinan? I don't know what that means. You 01:46:37.079 --> 01:46:40.439 could do a Gottrick -style anime, but it's in 01:46:40.439 --> 01:46:43.840 the style of One Punch Man. With him chopping 01:46:43.840 --> 01:46:52.369 them up. Very good. Very good. And again, thank 01:46:52.369 --> 01:46:54.630 you very much, Julius, for joining us today. 01:46:54.789 --> 01:46:58.630 And check out Legion W on YouTube if you want 01:46:58.630 --> 01:47:01.210 to see me and Julius. And other than that, we'll 01:47:01.210 --> 01:47:04.489 see all of you next time. Bye, everybody. Bye.
