well i might give those rules a try, but yeah more infinity stuff
Funny rules there! I’ll definitely try that out. Like the way you kept them fair and didn’t go for the overpowered road.
(Steel Phalanx for the win!) 😉
Excellent Stu, I like the idea that time is loaned rather than gained or lost. Looking forward to seeing the results of play testing.
For me, I like the longer, less frequent shows. In fact I’ve really enjoyed the changes since the move, I think the unboxings show now is a much better viewing experience than the individual ones from before (although I do miss having Darrell on screen). I’d like to see turn 8 return, I thought it was a great show , I do like the weekender but I think the live interaction through twitter and whatever made turn 8 a much more compelling view, although I’m aware it must be magnitudes harder work to put out. I think (and as someone… Read more »
beast of war is really great the way it is so im happy
would like to see some 20mm ww2 stuff tho 🙂
lol can not please every one lol
time to write something about it then 😉 but in general I would like a little more historical stuff
Never heard of Inheritance, but it looks and sound pretty good. Taken a look at the rules and also the army list. If you play Warhammer,you will understand it. Are there more army list’s or is this it for now? Only been a backstager for a couple a days now, so I think there might be a chance I have missed them.
Same, I must of missed something. Info please!
Just noticed the locator beacon in the list 🙂
yay infinity, yay prizes
BoW should just keep doing its thing, I for one vote YES for quality over quantity. If that only means one or two videos a day than so be it.
Something I would like to see would be more battle reports, more stuff like testing out new starter boxes and starter sets, like the FoW FTW one, like running one Infinity starter box vs another with no changes and just going over the pros and cons of just playing out the box.
Also Justin, gotta say, I’m really digging the shirt.
+1 for battle reports. I imagine they’re a lot of work editing but they’re something Youtube does not do well. I’ve only seen one exception to this and that’s Wargaming for Fun (some aren’t bad but only WFF are *good*).
Dork lords gaming club only have three or four so far but are excellent. Real game, pretty much every roll shown and model move and removal. Edited and by far the best aspect is the narration by a guy called Mantis to an exceptional standard. I actually wonder if voice overs/ commentry are his day job. Medium length ( usually 2×20 mins) but don’t miss a thing.
Ooh cheers. I’ll have a look.
Speaking purely for myself, I’d prefer more smaller unboxing shows. Sometimes I come across What’s in the Box and have to leave it as the whole show will take me well past my bedtime.
I reckon having several What’s in the Box shows a week would be a bit easier to consume and mean folks don’t need to watch stuff for games they’re not interested in (if they wanted to ignore it – I’d still watch, say, 40k and Malifaux stuff even though I don’t play them).
Defiantly quality over quantity guys.
Late but relevant, yes quality of quantity. My favourite episode so far is the almost two hour FOW game. I thought the whole thing brilliant keeping in every dice roll, comment, etc. It was one of the best non-tutorial tutorials I have seen yet and I have watched tons.
G
not sure I like the temporal stuff, it kinda reminds me of the OLD bladestorm, with a tad more flexibility
I am SURE this question has been asked to DEATH, but will we get a battlebox and beyond for Hordes any time soon? Those shows have been great and I just picked up the Orboros starter.
Yes there will be Battle Box and Beyond for hordes in the future. We just need a little time to do some research and compile the lists and do the recordings – mike and myself do have “real life” jobs and things so please just give us a little time. Plus been gearing up for Convergence too 😉
How does a company define itself? Through its quality; always. Keep doing what you’re doing. Lets also remember there has been significant changes in the last 6 months, so any teething issues are understandable. Glad to hear that inheritance is firmly back on the map; I’ll look forward to testing this out
A great set of shows this weekend, thoroughly enjoyed them. Quality over quantity all day every day (or not as the case may be lol). The last thing I’d want with low quality content is more of it. With more written articles to support the videos the site will still have a lot of quantity anyway. The occasional audio-only release is something I still feel can add quality content to the site without taking a long time to edit. Speaking of editing, welcome aboard to Zak 🙂 I feel your Armoured Clash pain, Stuart. I can’t find anyone interested in… Read more »
I agree with quality over quality rather than loads of short videos. I like the longer shows too and enjoy seeing the XLBS. Turn 8 would be great to see again, and seeing battle reports would be cool. Maybe some challenges, painting/modelling or battles (like the one between Warren and Brian “TemplarsCrusade01”). Seeing some roleplaying and board games in action would be cool too. I want to see Warren’s Sharkorosaurus in action, lol! I’d also like to see good old John again in the vids, but that might be tricky if he’s now working elsewhere. I did enjoy his historical… Read more »
Loving that Temporal Lock mechanic . Refreshingly different 🙂
And can i also second a request for Battlebox & Beyond for Hordes? And Circle in particular….
Right now I am happy with the output from you guys looking forward to hearing from Gavin about Relics as I really like the game and fingers crossed we will get more info about the other 4 factions (unless it is now 2)
Keep up the good work
I like the frequnecy and the qualitie of the shows
the rules sound like a good idea. might have to try them.
as for the show, loving anything you guys put out!
send me toys!!
Beasts of war is great, the quality over quantity is what I would go for. I also like the coverage over a-lot of different games systems. Keep up the good work.
Overall I like the current format, host have reached a nice chemistry, discussion is interesting even in topics that I am unfamiliar with and the topics engaging. Ideally I would love to see it fixed so day X faction focus, day Z whatever the name you will give in learning to play from zero a game system (currently dreadball academy and FOFFTW) also one video per day wouldn’t be bad, but I agree with Loyd quality over quantity, personally I prefer the weekender (and xlbs) over turn 8, you may better think of introducing a single show at the last… Read more »
Welcome back Warren. What do you have in mind for Justin’s bachelor party?
Love the idea of reaching out to the community for new contributors.
ohhh, reaching out to the community for new contributors for the bachelor party ? 😉 – OK, I’ll crawl back in my box
I prefer the quality over quantity and if it’s what you guys prefer to do as well then it’s got to reflect in the finished product.
Please keep bringing in presenters like Kev who are devotees to a particular game system. I’ve not played Warmachine so I get the feeling the videos will be a great resource for someone like me if they want to delve into the game.
@warzan Since 2011 but can’t talk about it yet ? That’s something to look forward too when you can.
Please keep with the quality videos over quantity, it was getting to a point where you couldn’t view them all.
Ps the corrigedor starter would be nice please. 😀
