Thank you! But that's not a filter, it's just me trying to sound educated (a tall order)--unless you mean the filmstrip FX, of course. I had weighed trying for a 1930s radio announcer voice, but then I listened to my test recording and immediately discarded the idea, burned the microphone I used to record it, and smashed the hard drive with an axe.

@@drewski430 More or less! It's the number of years since Ehn’k’du, the Lawgiver, who is venerated by all Quar, Crusader and Royalist alike, established the Rules of Warfare. Of late the precepts he laid out have been much abused.

War moment

That's the plan, just trying to find the time to do it!

@@Hedgehog_Prime Nice! Just started to paint my Toulmore marines, so I can't wait!

"They shall be my finest warriors, these Quar who give of themselves to me. Like clay I shall mould them, and in the furnace of war forge them. They will be of rotund body and beady eye. In silly little helmets shall I clad them and with the most affordable guns will they be armed. They will be untouched by plague or disease, no sickness will blight them, assuming their inoculations are current. They will have tactics, strategies and airships so that no foe can best them in battle. They are my bulwark against the Royalists. They are the Defenders of Quarkind. They are my Crusaders and they shall know a measurable but acceptable level of fear." -- Alykinder, probably

Pim you have no Idea what I went through

Yep! ENLISTED (in order of ascending rank) Rhyfler Milwer Yawdryl myn-Yawdryl gwy-Yawdryl [the Coftyrans do not have this rank) FIELD GRADE OFFICERS is-Caerten (section [the Quar equivalent to a platoon] command/lieutenant) Caerten (company command/captain) Sylwedl Syrnol GENERAL OFFICERS: Caenerol/Aemyril/Sky Aemyril Grand Caenerol (Coftyr) / High Caenerol (Easky Crusaders) Campryg (seems to be a political-military position, currently held by the senior Crusader in the West, Galo Loeck of Maer Braech) Determining exact equivalents of Quar ranks is sometimes tricky, as most militaries on Alwyd do not have a military formation existing between companies and regiments, i.e. no battalions. Rhyfler.com has all of the game sourcebooks available as free PDFs, and mighty handy they are, too.

Thank you very much, good sir. Checking out that website now. By the way, which side of the great would you fight with? The Crusaders, or Royalist?

@@rambunctiousmedia3350 My very tentative plan is to do Toulmore next (synergy with the current Tribes STL release), then Maer Braech, then Creevin, then Easky, but that's not at all written in stone.

You could always use them as Imperial Guard proxies. Or Custodes, I heard they got a debuff.

@Hedgehog_Prime idk if the lore works for that, maybe if they were guard proxies for farsight enclave, since they'd have other xenos

Honestly they'd be great Tau auxiliaries

@@evilmurlock I thrive in the absence of alternatives.

Thank you!

I get the vibe (nothing more, sadly) that naval combat is at the pre-dreadnought level, with the battleship being the main unit of combat. According to the fluff, the Coftyran fleet is bottled up in port and most of the sailors are serving in the tank corps.

@@red1964 Yeah I've read the lore bit but fidwog was able to cross lake morandi into Creevin. The lore said it was done with airships but when you look at a map you have to assume Tok wouldn't just allow fidwog to send the FOD through their airspace so they must have circled around going over either Craesil or Toulmore and if thats the case some form of naval escort would make sense to protect the FOD convoy from crusader sea power.

Airships and steamers! There are definitely fleets still extent; the Fidwogian navy has two hospital ships, a dreadnought, two battleships, four cruisers, seven destroyers, three submarines, and twelve torpedo boats operating in support of the FOD troops in Creevin, and we know at least one Crusader state (Inischol) is series of island chains, so presumably they have a navy worth mentioning as well.

@@Hedgehog_Prime Thats really interesting! In that case they must have crossed through the great canal in toulmore, seeing as fidwog doesn't have a coast line on lake morandi

@@mrlegodude96alt2 Sorry about that, but it goes a very long way towards masking the hiss of my incredibly cheap microphone.

@@Hedgehog_Prime It's annoying in the fact that it has those breaks? if it was just a constant background drone it would be fine. Don't feel bad for having a cheap mic man, you've got less than 400 subs it's not like you're making any money, quality is in the content.

I'll see what I can do about the breaks.

Hey since the starter sets seem to be doing well maybe you'll get them soon!

@@timothytrichtinger4732 That’s a good idea

Chinese Civil Quar Quarlord Era

I'd say it's the fact that Quar's lore is less concerned with giving you a gritty assortment of tropes and instead weaves an intricate but digestible history with stakes and cultures that can be related to.

@@kktallman6257 Honestly I feel for these little guys

I'd say it's probably because there isn't any weird, overarching cosmic stuff going on, nor do the creators seem interested in making things as dark and dysfunctional as possible, but keep things grounded. And the factions aren't all weird aliens, roided-up supersoldiers, or extradimensional horrors, they are just nation-states with differing cultures and forms of government, but fundamentally they are still the same people. It's more digestible, and the conflict between the Crusaders and Loyalists much more understandable, with the cor of it basically being the same as, say, the French Revolutionary Wars or the English Civil War, being just "Monarchy vs Egalitarianism", compared to all the Xenos and Chaos stuff going on in 40k. The troops involved are also just dudes. Strange, multi-colored, anteater-looking dudes with a language that reminds me of Welsh, but still dudes, citizens of the nations they fight for. Dudes that, if they had a choice in the matter, would prefer to be back at home drinking beer, rather than manning a trench and staring into no man's land. They aren't all-devouring insectoid monsters or green mushroom hooligans that are fueled by war. And all that with a pseudo-WW1 level of tech with trenches and boxy, primitive tanks, which has its own appeal too.

@@moriskurth628 I love the goofy tanks of the setting and I hope it sticks to the outrageousness.

@@moriskurth628 I think you're right on the money here. I do enjoy Warhammer (or at least, Horus Heresy and Battlefleet Gothic), but I got my start with BattleTech (and have done a very small amount of freelance writing for them in recent years), and the Quar have that same feeling of a fantastical setting but grounded in reality. The fact that it's largely the vision of one incredibly talented man who's both created the background and done most of the art, and who clearly knows what he's doing on both fronts is huge too. This is one guy's vision, and he's been working on bringing it to life for twenty years now. And that level of passion is really infectious.

Same, theses videos got me into quar

Royalist cog, stop listening to the First Families' propaganda! 😉

I think he's still fine - wasn't his absolutism supporting better ideas?

Yes, they look like something some former hippie would draw in the 70s, love that style

Now that you say it, yeah. The Quar have powerful "70s animated film" energy. One of those ones where the people are all vague blobs that just kind of wiggle slightly to imply mouth movement.

It's more a case of nobody talented was doing it, so I'm trying my hand, but thank you!

@@Hedgehog_Prime You shouldn't sell yourself so short. You did an admirable job at making a video over such a niche topic. The way you presented it kept my attention.

He's not a Luetin until he has a sleep club!
