I just want classic fantasy back... but with Vampire coast as an actual army. GW had to kill it, just so they can make AoS. The best way to describe AoS is they killed the fantasy universe to turn it into a Mythos universe with gods and endless armies. In other words, they wanted to make the shake as 40k by making it bigger armies for their fantasy armies. The Old World seems very promising minus the fact that it takes place hundreds of years before warhammer fantasy took place. Most of the classic armies like vampire counts, lizard men, skaven, and dark elves are all "legends." They also have women knights in lore even though Reponce was meant to be the first and only in Brettonnia.

I agree statues look better. If u get a vegito figure in base form that will be epic. Anyways cool collection.

They are cool. But I collect the sh.figuarts DBZ line. They are the best dragon ball figures right now!

Man, I just watch it and it was amazing, but as you said it was short, full of those annoying chapter scenes and no huge battle. I gave it 8/10

I was playing Star Wars Legion in my basement with friends, but we never could get fully into it. We’ve gotten deep into Song of Ice & Fire Miniatures game and that’s all we play. We don’t play in stores though.

I love that cloak!

Nice review! I do like this new direction taken for cohesive narrative. I'll probably check it out in a collected edition format. That reminds me, what are your thoughts of the compact line that DC has started? P.S. That Galactus looking mighty fine!

😂 you can tell your a marvel fan . Batman yr 1 one of the best stories ever in comics and cannon. The catwoman stories are really good try reading them.

If year one or superman #1 is canon that's irrelevant, the point is that they're great stories

The idea of many multiverses is fine, it’s not dumb, you just didn’t get it. Different multiverses are different franchises. For example one multiverse is Dc, other Archie, next Naruto and so on.. Multiverse map shows you everything, not just DC. Our real world is somewhere there as well on the map.

Parts?

How popular is this at the local wargame store though?

Its dosnt get much better 3years L8r still riding batmans junk tho 😢 just want a classic power girl but thats probably gonna b the conservative version and impossible 2get classic 1 thats a chase , store specific, variant

I think one should never hold on too tightly to existing continuity in fiction. Because what happens if Marvel decides in a few years to erase their continuity and start from scratch? For example, to attract mainstream moviegoers to read comics. The reason doesn't really matter. But what then..? Would all those years of storytelling be irrelevant? I don't think so. I see DC's continuity as phases or eras. New52 is a phase with its own rules, its own history-some which matters for the future of the DC-continuity and some which doesn't. I agree with you that continuity is important. But I don’t think it has to be set in stone to tell good stories. And in fiction, it’s inevitable that continuity will be broken sooner or later. If you accept that, you can look forward to the fact that the DC Finest books are finally collecting the many phases and eras of DC history in a coherent way. I am really looking foreward to it. In the same way I enjoy reading and collecting Marvel epic collections.

I wouldnt mind AOS lore its kinda cool in its own way but I was invested into fantasy warhammer lore and they fucked it up all with end times to build AOS out of its corpse thats why i cant really bring myself to buy AOS models despite them looking cool as fuck

What an F-ing winger you are. This is nothing about these books, just you complaining about how much you like Marvel and hate DC. You can’t think of DC continuity the same way as Marvel, they are different beasts. DC is more like ready Greek or Norse mythology, a bunch of stories that overlap, and don’t seem to fit exactly together but still give a great overview of the characters and how they interact. It’s perfectly fine for you to prefer one over the other, but that does not mean the DC Finest are not good collections just that you hate DC. What these are great for are for people who want to read a particular character in a particular era complete. For Batman yes year one is reprinted a lot, but year two has not been available for a long time and the other issues around it are very rare and hard to get. For more minor characters like Catwoman this is even better collecting things never reprinted including major appearance in other books. These are great books for people interested in reading a specific DC character or team.

Another alternative for Imperial Guard? Look into the plastic Kits from Wargames Atlantic. Many different flavours

Well you can have your opinion, but as a table top player for decades 40K is so bad I quit 15 years ago. Old World is fantastic and it’s my favorite game. Your opinion is your’s, have it. But I totally disagree, 40K is just not balanced at all and you have to chase after the latest hotness just to have an enjoyable game. Never again. Also as for not selling, Old World products are selling out continuously. They literally can’t make enough of it since release. Did you even look at their online shop?

And really this doesn't hurt GW at all... I know a lot of people that have GW armies buy the books for the fluff but use One Page rules...at first it was just a few people but now nearly everyone I game with does that.

Read any AoS books? They've fleshed out the setting a bunch and there a lot of grounded stories now that the world is established.

Welcome to the OPR family :) Just so you know the army builder app is completely free. Tier 1 gets you the custom army creator where you can build your own armies.

Great review man on this awesome movie. :)

Age of Fantasy > All

I walked away from Warhammer 40K just before 10th edition...and just seeing the constant Rules changes on my Facebook feed without being involved in the game is Maddening, I could never imagine devoting / wasting so much of my life and time to a game system that's just garbage One Page Rules does inspire hope 😃

Glad you like it. OPRs is way too simple for me. Lots of people like it though. I hate 10th edition (as do most people) so I’m just gonna play older editions. I’ve been around 40K since 1993 so I have the books for all 10 editions. Shooting was always IGYG but combat was not IGYG until 8th edition. Before that everything had an Initiative rating that determined the order units fought. Not to mention you compared weapon skills to determine the required roll to hit.

Tons of disappointment thanks for the honest review ! I got some awesome continuity efforts

Glad you enjoy the sistem, thanks for share it.

This was more satisfying than peeling the protective film off of someone else's LCD screen.

I really like your opinion on just buy and choose the version of the figure you like most. It’s a good opinion and basically a fact because some of these figures have so many versions it’s insane like Batman and Superman

I bought into Firefight just after their first Warpath Kickstarter where they did the main mass battle game and the fan requested option for squad based skirmish combat that became Firefight. I have followed Games Workshop since the 90s where I was playing 2nd Edition Warhammer 40K, now I am playing 10th Edition and Bolt Action, and still think Firefight is a great system. Though I feel more attachment to my 40K stuff, both in and out of game.

Im an OPR Tier 2 Patreon.....Im 48, I worked for GW back during 5th ed 40k (best edition by the way) and once I left the company I was so burned out on GW I never really looked back, but I was a big fan of Starfleet Battles and Battletech before 40k. GW's rules have gotten really bad, and a lot more restrictive in many ways, mono pose models, retcon's on lore that is decades old.....bah.....I was done with GW before now Im even less likely to go back. OPR has given the freedom back to the player much like it used to exist before corporate board members discovered they could make more money by standardizing boxes and reducing the product range. OPR and things like it are the future, no doubt in my mind.

Firefight is good, and I started back when it was also "Warpath", where they used the 28mm models but used squad bases to simplify gameplay and increase the game size, aka Apocalypse. Now with Epic Warpath aka Epic 40k coming out, hopefully shipping by November, the universe is getting even more meat on its bones. If anything, the novels are decent ofc, but I recommend getting the Sourcebook first.

Reading more about Ras al Ghul cause of your vid.

I think they said Wonder Woman is from hell.

Have you read the two other series like this? The Batman Adventures and Batman Adventures?

Thanks for making this a well rounded review! Mantic Games have been pushing out great games for a few years now, often not quite perfect, but the rules are generally 90% amazing 10% WiP. All their games are way more accessible than the other guys. Firefight is really fun to play, and the players in my local community have really picked it up and also started a podcast: Controlled Fire. I look forward to more Mantic Games review. Have you seen Kings of War?

They've got a skirmish game called Deadzone which I one of the best games I've ever played. Epic Warpath looks great too

Am i yhe only one having audio issues? If so screw you!!

Hell yeah, Sergeants deserve more love. I'm about to assemble a Company Heroes squad with a Captain, using that new Horus Heresy MK3 command squad that they're dropping. The "Captain" is going to be the squad Sergeant and they're just going to be a really badass squad, with varied wargear, as opposed to a command squad. I'm going to use that smaller standard that comes with the kit as the squad standard, not the company standard. I also often take my first company Sergeants and run them as Lieutenants/Captains for my battleline company squads. Absolutely agree that, in the lore, we need more representation when it comes to rank and file badasses.

I sold all my GW models and armies for both 40k and age of sigmar due to getting sick of the constant fomo and price hikes. Bought the deadzone starter set to see if it would be a good replacement.....and it is definitely a better game to play and so much cheaper to get started with.

In the Intercessor kit if we talk models. And in your headcanon if we talk lore.

The forge father battlegroup has 3 not 2 tanks🤘 CONTENTS: 3 x Hard Plastic Sturnhammer 1 x Resin Command Upgrade (includes vehicle commander)

They released the new suits pics and I’m digging Batman’s suit. I need a figure asap lol. Especially since Todd can’t make a New 52 Batman anytime soon lol.

I heard he has more than one suit, so maybe he won’t have it later on

Yup!!! 🎉I’m subbing!!! Love your rant!❤totally agree with some of your points!! I’m going to binge through your videos now!

I am using my Guard models as GCPS

First Strike is a good read too and LT Commander Roca is a bad ass.

Firefight is still not grabbing me the same way as OPR. I do like the models and while Firefight might not be the most amazing thing ever, DEADZONE is really good. Also FWIW, The plague are humans who went wrong so, their kit is "reaver-ed" GCPS gear. The Marauders were used as filler troops by the GCPS until they rebelled, so, a lot of their gear is GSPC kit as well. You get to the actual Aliens and the variety kicks in.

Mantic miniatures have come a long way in recent years. My Veermin are a very thematic army with some really cool models, vehicles, and characters. They were around a third the price of an equivalent GW army. Some of the firefight/deadzone miniatures are excellent and the vehicles are very special. I have yet to make the switch but I am pretty sure I will. My research indicates that the rules Mantic make are much better presented, properly tested, and key for me, really fun to play. I already have a number of useable models in my squats, arbitrators, orcs, and others, so no reason not to. Alesio Cavatorre and other ex GW staff members work closely with Mantic these days so its not surprising they are producing the better games. I think the Epic scale game maybe my entry point to Mantic's games frankly.
