Loved the bat rep. Great stuff as always!

Your banners are all beautiful! They are little works of art.

Warhammer really came from D&D. GW started as a distributor. I’ve never heard anyone say WHFB came from WHFRPG. I don’t think it even existed when WHFB was created Also, I wonder if Stillman is still alive?

I like the spirit of Stillmania, but It isn’t for me. I absolutely love growing my armies. Playing with the same force constantly would be boring for me. Still, there’s a lot he says that is true. I’m building a second Bretonnia army already (a narrative slow grow force separate from my 30 year old WHFB army), and ordered almost 4000 points of Dwarfs as a winter project (my business runs from April 15th to October 15, I’m a fishing guide services business owner and do product testing and consulting for a few fishing companies). I can’t wait. Wake up every morning, write while I drink a pot of coffee, followed by building and painting an army I’ve wanted for over a decade now. When WHFB ended I was crushed that I hadn’t gotten to Dwarfs yet. Now not only am I getting Dwarfs, I’ve been blessed with a huge complement of classic metal dwarfs. If they put classic metal miners up for sale, I’m buying 40. I bought 20 Imperials and two command groups for them, slayers, slayer commands, all of the war machines, and about a dozen or so other kits. This is the first time I’ve spent this much on any army in decades. Also bought a 216 bottle set of Army Painters new Fanatic line, which I’ve tested and might be my new favourite line of paint. That’s shocking because I HATED their old paints.

i dont play wargames and this is the first video i ever watched about warhammer old world. i dont understand anything, still funny though

Right on Brother! Absolutely incredible! 🤘

Talisman .. I forgot to mention... an absolute favourite for gaming and miniatures here down in Sth Australia. To this day we play the earliest :)

Good analysis..needed more punk though lol

Your army is incredible! I'm very proud to possess two of the warriors you included in your Nurgle-marked regiment - specifically the warrior with a scythe and the warrior with bone armour. I use them as my battle standard bearer (with a custom banner, of course) and a champion with the mark of slaanesh respectively, but seeing them in a regiment as regular warriors is very impressive.

Looking forward to seeing Farage completely tank as an MP. He might have made a career as a media mouthpiece and exploiting populist sentiments for his own personal gain, but experience from when he was an MEP shows he’s an incompetent, disorganised, grifter who’s not used to having to toe the line and do some actual work. I can only hope after all these attempts, he’s finally got the job and it’ll be the ruin of him. That’s perhaps too optimistic when it comes to this proverbial bad penny though. 😡

Jesus. Based on the clips being shown, England is looking more like America every day, and that's not a good thing.

Old Bastard ... lol ... likewise here from South Australia mate, I started in the very late 80s ..

It is good to hear from a soyboy version of Anton shigurr, ty it really helps

I kept expecting to see a montage of 2x4s being manufactured and aviator sunglasses. But still got the sweet scarf so thats something!

FRIENDO !!!!

Dr. B, your performance was MOST EXCELLENT. Nobody could have done a better job or have worn a cooler cravat while doing so. With humility and great respect, A fellow fan of TOW and political history (though, as a Yank, American political history is my mastery).

Nice to see the intergalactic politician Count Binface in the footage, the most charismatic candidate of them all. No doubt he'll become a cult favourite and amusing character for future academics.

Great analysis, thanks Doc

Roll the dice - love it

All honesty- this is better than a lot of the election experts you often see up there

It's so strange that Englishmen takes it so hard that Boris went on a party during covid. Same happened in most other(all) countries. We all know politicians think they are above the law, it's nothing new. Or was it more things he had done/said?

The Tories have gutted social safety nets in order to make their already rich buddies even richer. Unfortunately, Labour won't undo enough of the damage, and the Tories will be able to scapegoat immigrants again next election and we'll be back to the status quo. Or, Sigmar forbid, Reform...

Great analysis and commentary, only thing missing was line hammer gags! Thanks

I could bet i saw political Bias there 🤔

Insightful analysis. Thanks.

Oxford professor is a pretty good side gig for a Warhammer KZbinr.

lol well in LL BX

Not as fun as Warhammer, but pretty awesome. Strong work Dr. Luke, strong work!

Dr Blaxill are you a vampire?

Linehammer!

That was great ! Thx for the insight

i think the intent behind eschewing base to base and instead just allowing the entire front rank to attack was a combination of simplification and, more importantly, to give infantry the ability to hit back at small base-size targets like chariots or monsters. now, the obvious answer to this would be to allow "base to base plus 1" (or two? idk, i'll leave that to the game designers to argue over) or to reintroduce some version of supporting attacks. but for one reason or another, GW seems intent on not doing either of those... and until they do so, it seems we're stuck in a bit of a pickle. another, softer, solution, could be to at least limit the free reforms to only being able to add/subtract a single rank (or column?) at a time. Not a complete fix, but better than nothing. and/or perhaps choosing between pivoting redressing ranks... but now we're reaching high levels of fiddly without really adressing the core issue.

Very good interview with no bias unlike the scrubs over in Murica.

I wish you just started talking about line hammer hey and then call everyone PUNKS!!!! #rollthedice

The election wasn't even real or meaningful. It represents a cycling in of Labour that has been obvious & inevitable for more than a year. It is an act of political theater, and a sacrament to mass democracy. No meaningful choice was made. Say it with me: Electoral politics aren't real.

I learned something about English politics today. Thanks for the straightforward analysis.

Thank you, Dr.

Wait... linehammer is a conservative idea? Well.

This is surreal

As an American I'm morbidly curious to see what the UK immigration numbers will be like 😳🍿

This came on randomly, and looking at the comments i wondered if i was going mad ..people talking about warhammer?! ..then i checked your other videos ..:)

Warhammer fan AND historian?! Earned my sub!

Germans voted in a relatively leftist government a few years ago. But that government can't repair the damage done by the conservatives in the prior decades. At least not in a single term. Same will be true for the left in France and Britain. And to the uneducated public it will seem like the left governments aren't doing anything and we'll see another swing to the conservatives. It's so frustrating to watch. I'm old enough now to have seen this a few times :(

I'm assuming this has been cut to start after "LISTEN UP, PUNKS"

Came her for Warhammer strategies, stayed for insights on international politics.

Well done Dr. Blaxill! We can learn much about politics in Britain from you. It's interesting to see how similar and or how different many governing bodies are. Hopefully all works out for the best. Immigration and the economy are major concerns in Anerica as well.

While the parlamentary and presidential electoral systems are similar, it does feel as though the UK's system is far more formal and far less of a joke like it is here in the states. As seriously as we wish to take it here, the media always converts serious conversations like this into name-calling farces where instead of minds being swayed by the ability to lead or create true positive change, we vote based on which candidate will be the most memeable or whichever are pushed to be shown as 'correct' by the agenda of our public educational system, since that agenda is all the young new voters will learn. No one here thinks for themselves. We are truly the laughing stock of the free world...PUNKS!

Cheeky dice-rolling reference! :)

Whats the opinion that more people voted for Lib Dems and Greens because they felt Labour would get in anyway ? Great interview btw 👍

HEY, you would been a lot cooler if you called them punks!! lol
