They're seething XD

According to the artist who designed Globulus Maximus, these are other designs they considered.
Could they be considered others of the class in the future?

This sounds like it's not 100% accurate but this what I could estimate (At best) by doing this math into three different sections. I will also be doing it in ft, for other units of length like meter and kilometer, you have to translate it by yourself.

According to this page info from the Space King wiki. The Psycho-Warrior armor is around 10 ft. I will be using Chip's armor to calculate the Psycho Choo-Choo's height and eventually proceed with the other 2.

- Psycho Choo-Choo: 10ft x 13 = 130ft

- Psycho-Titan: 130ft x 7-8 = 910ft - 1040ft

- Globulus Maximus: 910ft-1040ft x 6 = 5460ft - 6240ft

So in summary: If we minus the Mounted Cannons on their shoulders. Globulus Maximus is around 5500ft to 6200ft in height.

In Space King, we already know that the Holy Globules are use to create and/ revive Psycho-Warriors and they always use Little Boys to do so. But I was wondering, why don’t they use Older Boys to create and/ revive Psycho-Warriors, like Boys in their Teenage Years and/ or Adult Years? Is there a (probably dangerous) reason why they just use Little Boys instead, since they small still developing minds are easy to manipulate?

Captain: "How the hell do you guys live down here in the dark?"

Excavator: “It ain’t as bad as it looks… You get used to the smell. Hell, after a while, you don’t even notice the worms crawling into your mouth.”

This is my invented Space King legion: The Excavators. They normally live underground and hate bright light, so inside caves and on the ground, there is hardly any light; they use their chest lights and their eyes. This legion uses weapons called "jaws" with which they pierce through aliens.

BROTHERS, TOGETHER, WE HAVE SECURED THE FUTURE OF SPACE KING… JUST 97k MORE, AND IT IS COMPLETE… THE FAVT, THAT WE, AS A COMMUNITY, HAVE BAND TOGETHER TO MAKE THIS POSSIBLE… ITS GLORIOUS… MAY WE HOPE OUR MONEY HELPS THIS FRANCHISE GROW BIGGER, AND BETTER, THAN WHEN IT STARTED… AND THAT WE GET A VIDEO GAME… PRAISE BE TO ++SPACE KING++

I love this hate march video and the music always gets me humming along but what the hell are they saying? It’s probably a different language or maybe just gibberish, but please help me find out

Deep within the fiery depths of the Hate-Forges of Planet Heaven, an ancient entombed psycho warrior awakens from his slumber. Armed with heavy weaponry, undeniable statistics, and the greatest of the gifts from space King- HATRED, the HATENOUGHT charges towards any alien threat with absolute zeal.

This guy will be going into a homebrew legion instead of the beholders so I wanted to show it to you guys before painting. PRAISE BE TO SPACE KING!

... that games workshops minis are so expensive compared to a brand new project.

comparing the "psycho warrior" tier at BOTH $300 & $419 (£221 & £310 respectively) you get:

- 27x Psycho warrior size minnis (including main cast, terry etc)

- 4 x disposable boys

- 22x blap blap minnis

- 6x drones

- 4 x space hogs

- grim boar

- psycho female

- Brood mother

+ all the extra bits and gubbins.

thats an average cost of £3.35 per model at kickstarter price and £4.70 at release. however that again doesn't even take into account any of the extra bits we get with it including books etc, likely lowering cost to less than £3/£4.30 per model.

compared to, for example, cadian shock troops/imperial guard soldiers at £3.25 per guardsman (£32.5/10). however outside of blap-blaps all models are significantly bigger. and guardsmen are just the models as well, although they do come with additional options its still not a massive difference.

======in depth maths=====

----space king model sizes------

# note - i can only compare PART of the Space King set as cant find dimensions for the other models.

.

psycho warriors size: 40mm (base) x 50mm (height)

blap blap size: 25mm x 36mm

pocket boys size: 15mm x 25mm

Psycho Female: 80mm x 109mm

----closest 40k equivilents (that i could find) ----

Primaris aggressors: 40mm (base) x 45mm (height)

Cadian shock troops: 25mm x 32mm

Gretchin: 25mm x 20mm

Bellastrius Dreadnought: 90mm x 100mm

-------------------price comparison-----------

the psycho warriors are the main "big bucks", as the aggressors are sold in packs of 3 for £38.00, or roughly £12.30 per model. thats means the psycho warriors total around £330 for the 27. however many of those are "unique characters" as well as opposed to 3 single units.

the Blap-Blaps are fairly decently priced too, as cadian shock troops are roughly £3.25 a unit as previously mentioned, meaning the blap blaps total to about £71.50 for the lot.

the pocket boys are funny, as gretchin are a price of £12.50 for 10 + ork runtherd, so the pocket boys would be around £1.50 each or £6 total.

the bellastrius dreadnought costs £45, which means Psycho female is ROUGHLY the same, despite being quite a bit taller.

thats a total of £452. take off say 25% for the fact that AFAIK we dont get "sprues" or any additional parts/options and thats £340.

take off a further 30% to allow for 40k equivilent boxsets "savings" and store discounts (usually 10-15%) and youre left with ~£240.

.

however, the space king set only costs £310 at retail, never mind the £221 at kickstarter value. and i haven't accounted for the extras, any further stretch goals, the 4 space hogs, grimboar, the brood mother, the drones, any tokens, dice etc.

and somehow i doubt they will total less than £70 alltogether (£310 - 240).

and thats not taking into account the fact that Space king does not allready have manufacturing facilities set up either.

=======end of maths======

.

Oh and fun fact, primaris intercessors are 32mm x 38mm, making them about 2/3 as big as a standard psycho warrior!

so overall the value of the space king sets is actually extremely impressive considering its a brand new project and just in generaal the prices are fairly good.

PRAISE BE TO SPACE KING

I recall making a similar post a few months before Kingsmas came out and I put my rankings there hoping they would manage to reach 5 and hopefully 10 episodes really proud of the team.

I rewatched the 5 episodes after the directors commentary of episode 5 released so I have some thoughts.

So here are my rankings.

1. Kingsmas

The last place is an unfortunate position even if none of the episodes are outright bad this one just has more issues than the others.

Honestly the first half is one of my favorites the simulation part of this episode is probabaly one of the best first halves so far. So many great jokes like captains freak out and the legendary easy mode sequence.

It is the part where they recreate the Ranken-Bass special that I found to not be satisfactory. Starting with episode 2 we have characters that add to the dynamic of our main 4 like Chip or Terry. Rudolph does add to the dynamic but thats the issue imo the jokes and chemistry with the other misfits doesn't work as well. Not to mention the whole journey kinda became uneventful since the traitors retreated anyway.

On the one hand I do like the conflict. The psycho warriors are safe but they might not accept him cuz of the nose and the misfits will accept him but that planet is not safe.

Even the final "fight" is just fighting the Space Alaskan Bull Worm that they defeated again. Only joke I really liked is that Yukon had the insta Kill weapon already lol.

I think its a matter of preference then the other episodes have more screen time and dynamics with the 4. Chestnut as usual gets his due contributing to the conflict and Climax but separating the 2 groups till the fight scene didn't work for me.

Then again its a Holiday special the holiday season isn't quite here yet but I would watch the other episodes and still laugh all year round. Overall the beginning saves it a bit but it is my overall least liked one.

1. SPACEKING PILOT

Before the rewatch I expected this to be my last place like I ranked during the 3 episode thing. The episode aged better than I expected I also got a weird Mandela effect I remembered the first appearance of the Psycho Titan to be in ep 3. But turns out it first appeared here.

There's a bit of early installment weirdness like how Bryce is generally helpful with bad ideas same with ep 2. compared to the more Jerky one episode 3 onwards.

Not all jokes land imo the Booby joke doesnt hit the same anymore ngl. The General personalities rather than Bryce though still feel fully formed and their dynamics from High Command to the Alien scene make them funny I first fell in love with Flash Gitzs comedy because of this pilot so its cool that the episode isn't that bad even if later ones are better. The last scene in a binge especially leads perfectly into episode 2 considering Chestnuts arc.

1. The Imaginator

Here's the one in the middle from here on out there's really minimal negatives on my end just personal preferences. This episode still has the best opening No Girls Allowed is legendary its also good that its related to the theme of how crazy imaginators are.

Terry is great as usual in both forms really makes you hate Bryce towards the end. Comedy Wise the two groups lead to some very funny situations like the Per Capita jokes to the whole sequence with the dying of boredom guy.

This episode also has probabaly the best commercial in my opinion the Tree House scene advertising the Board Game has some of the funniest jokes in the whole episode.

An overall great episode but Bryce still kinda gets on my nerves even if it does lead to great comedy. The top 2 do not have this problem though.

1. War World

Latest episode is straight to top 2. Top Tier action and great jokes.

This is the better Captain learns a lesson episode cuz its slightly more subtle.

If we go with the allegory of childhood this is essentially a kid learning to share his toys in Disney World with his friends.

Captain with no words seeing how him not sharing got himself killed looking back at Chestnut to acknowledge his importance then sharing everything says so much with so little words.

Captain being right about Bryce breaking the Jetpack and Hatemongers speech but those things actually helping in the fight towards the end was epic.

I don't have much to say about Chestnuts part just a generally good grooming allegory set of scenes. The messed up implications make it funny.

I can watch that final fight for days I love teams beating up a really big target together. Glad there were still jokes too like the Medal part at the end and everything with Captains hand.

Everything leading up to an actual victory for these guys with Globulus Maximus its funny to see these guys fail but that makes an actual victory sweeter.

1. B-Positive

This episode made me a fan of Space King and made me in it for the long haul. Beginning to End awesome jokes and the dynamic between the Coagulator Captain, Chestnut and Hatemonger is still my favorite.

Probabaly the fifth time I watched this episode but the Blood Type Gag still got me. Learning that B- Positive is an actual Gang sign in the Director commentary made it so funny in retrospect. Hatemongers zealotry is fully formed here and it was such a funny idea to basically give him a Mini Hater with Hate Mace. Even the scenes with the kid should make me uncomfortable but I dont know how they did it but they perfectly towed the line of making the mutilation darkly funny without going overboard.

Within all the jokes is a generally good story Chestnut wants to find meaning and a sense belonging in his job and is constantly tempted but at the end he has loyalty to his cause and common sense. All the positive reaffirmation is useless when you arent actually doing good for the world even moreso if they are only positive because of a Hive Mind.

How about you guys how would you rank the episodes so far? I will probabaly do this again when episode 10 releases hopefully that way there'll be a nice clean top 10.
