Let’s Look at ALL of the Warhammer 40,000 edition starter boxes and paint all of the female miniatures! This journey spans 4 decades and some really cool models :-) These legendary starter kits are foundational to the whole industry!

From 10 editions of 40k there have been 8 classic starter boxes- Rogue Trader didn’t have a box, and 6th and 7th were both championed by the Dark Vengeance box. These 8 big boxes are absolute classics. They form foundational memories for a lot of us, and the majority of all demo games ever played in the history of Warhammer 40k have been played with minis from these sets. The two factions from these big boxes always become the mascots of the edition, and they get included in a variety of somewhat smaller starter kits at various price points.

    Be careful. Representation leads to inclusion. Inclusion leads to girls. Girls lead to cooties.

    Give me a starter box with sisters instead of marines and ill be one happy 40k-playing lady.
  • @Moonlighter_TV
    What a rad combination of ideas. History lesson, painting challenge and a highlight on the female sculpts all jammed together in one fin video.

    I built half of my actual ultramarine army with female heads (Statuesque, Stormcast plastic and stormcast heads from forgeworld and some sisters of battle). Easy test: if you are to angry about "the wrong heads" on the made up plastic toys, than I am not willing to play with you. So much less stress.

    This is one of the things that drew me to the Imperial Guard. It doesn't matter who or what you are. As long as you can hold a lasgun, can follow orders, and love the Emperor, you're in the Guard!

    "A lovely model from the late 1900's" me: crumbles to dust
  • @machomanta
    I've got enough Space Marines, would love to see Sisters of Battle in a starter set. Or better yet, an all female Catachan force!
  • Brilliant video, Brent. Rather sad that you only had to paint a single mini, but she does look lovely. Thanks for putting this into the world!
  • @euansmith3699
    What a great video; full of positive energy and wonderful cats. Thanks, Brent.

    "...from the late 1900's" This phrasing made me feel so old, wow. I know they appear faily often on your channel but I love seeing the old dark eldar sculpts every time. Too bad painting every woman from the starter boxes yielded only one torso. Maybe in 10 more editions it'll change.
  • @DiscourseMinis
    When I saw the title of this, I wondered if such a video was even possible. Video delivered :)
  • @TheKsalad
    The new Cadian Guardsmen kits have allowed me to create an actual mixed gender platoon of guardsmen
  • @annaleas2091
    I noticed, in just the two and a half years ive been in the hobby, there are now more of my fellow girls hanging out at the LHS. When I first started warhammer, right after covid, The only other time I saw another gal in the shop was a wife/gf following her husband around as HE looked at stuff. I know from being the only girl at one point, that coming in to a shop full of dudes can be intimidating. Now, with the new edition launch, We've had 3 or 4 completely new gals show up to paint and build. Its always great to see new faces and create a more welcoming hobby space! :)

    I remember discovering 40k because my boyfriend at the time played back in 2009-2010. I used to go to Games Workshop and watch him play. The first time I went in, I felt uncomfortable because there were NO women around, but I ended up making so many friends (one of them even paid for my wedding dress when I got married in 2020, lifelong friends now). I would sit around and build Space Marines for the demo models while everyone played, and then I got a whole box of Tyranids to paint. When I got my wisdom teeth out, I remember begging my mom (under heavy medication and not talking properly) to go to geedubs so I could hang out with the guys. We had a whole audience of people cheering for me when I pit my Nids up against his Kreig army and very nearly won (I did not). That guy and I broke up ages ago, but I'll still treasure all those times. I still have all my Tyranids and definitely miss playing. Your videos bring me joy and I appreciate them so much.

    I think a starter box that has Sisters of Battle and Dark Eldar would be pretty cool. You get the contrast of Hedonistic elves and Holy soldiers, you'd get the wytch cult which is awsome, and the variety you could put in with the sisters would be cool add a few Imperial guard as well I think it would be awsome!! Always excited when I see you've posted a video Brent very nice
  • @Gloomwalker08
    I wish I could like this more than once. This is so, SO good. I'm not a lady, but nonetheless I am a huge proponent of inclusion and unity through variety, and I love that you are a voice for just that. Thanks for doing what you do, and for speaking up about inclusion in our community!
  • @meepmop6
    Thanks for doing these kinds of vids despite all the backlash they receive. Really shocking that there's only a single female sculpt across this many years and editions.
  • @citrate4997
    Would have loved to have seen Sisters of Battle in the indomitus set, really seems like a missed opportunity to give them some more spotlight. They're one of my favourite factions.
  • @bartoszboro1701
    Really like your movies, when I watch them I have feeling that they are made by very positive person who is real passionate of miniature painting.
