Today we're joined with James from the Drowned Earth to play another game in the deep wasteland.

In this video, we are giving away the Wayfarers faction plus some Oviraptors as a prize for a lucky commenter, with this simple question: What would you name your Raptor squad?
We're playing the Lawful Good Firm vs the Evil and enslaved Bondsmen in The Drowned Earth. This scenario has one of the alternative rules from the Printed book with the objective of killing your enemy leader.
So, what would you name your Raptor Squad?
I’m commenting to see if I have the chance of getting that elephant! 😛
Enjoy looking at the board. Looks fun
Would love to throw down those raptors, as for a name it’s got to be the “Clever Girls”
I’m gonna go ahead and throw out “Tyrannosaurus Wrecks” for my raptor squad name.
for my raptor squad: “The jurassic luck”
@dignity I can’t fault your approach to tactics with your leader. This is a game of dynamic action and this particular scenario setup discourages playing it safe. Similar to Infinity, this game is deadly by nature, so you can always fall prey to superb dice rolls that throw a wrench in the best laid plans.
As for the raptors, I have a decades long tradition through RPGs and tabletop games of naming the ‘unnamed’ minions and/or animal companions as ‘Steve’ or ‘Bob’. a raptor pair would be simply ‘Steve&Bob’ (regardless of gender).
I’d call my squad the Velocirapture and go on holy extermination quests, leaving nothing of my opponents but a pile of clothes.
Seriously though, this playthrough made me take a second look at this game. I’m pretty interested now.
I would call them ‘Raptor and Bobin’ the ‘Scaled Crusaders’
Flesh Tearers for raptors squad.
I will call my squad: birds of prey … i will surelly use my sqad to hunt down my competition
I would call my squad the “Mighty Claws”!!
Nemesis Enforcers
The audio needs a lot of help. I believe I have better quality while talking on VOIP overseas.
Everything I’ve seen about Drowned Earth has made me really excited to play it. Also, the wayfarers have the best models. If you all want to see more bat reps guerrilla miniature games has a few good ones up already on the YouTube channel.
“Podiatrist’s Nightmare”. Well, everybody’s nightmare, but especially the podiatrists.
OMG, Girls! You would be “Scales n’ Nails” to bring out the fierce nature of the mightiest jungle queens. No sequins or chiffon here as we skip the leopard print and go straight to the snakeskin pattern.
Lol… I can only sit and think this through as far as science hypothesizes that dinos had feathers. Well, why not go all out with ‘fabulous’ plumage the likes of a Brazilian Carneval samba queen or a drag queen with the highest of hair? Saying that I might’ve just opened myself up to a conversion challenge that people might actually call me on.
i would name them the ripjaw
Well Extreme Dinosaurs/Raptors could be nice for nostalgia but I think I’d go with “The bitey pack”.
How about modding on some purely decorative machine parts and calling them the Dinobots? Chris’s Pratts? Guardians of the Jurassic? The Dino Boys? My Little Friends, as in say hello to?
With the Oviraptor remains being found in Mongolia, I’m going with “Steppes Hunters”
I need to get the hardback rulebook for this game the fluff of this game sounds interesting.
Yes please – perfect game to go with hagglethorn hollow and bright aquatic trees 🙂
I’m struggling to come up with a squad name, so how about Raptor the Drawing Board? *groan*
Wayfarers seem the coolest faction. My Raptor squad would be the evil parrots
Nice one Sam.
Got to love the raptors from “The bitey Squad”
