Great video. Just pondering whether to give Barons War a go. We play a fair bit of WOTR in 28mm using Hail Caesar (in the same way as 7th Son’s videos) but it leaves me a bit cold. Literally the only character in the game comes from how you paint the models and who they represent, otherwise it’s literally a dice rolling contest. Barons War appeals much more because of being a skirmish game, not rank and flank, and the amount of character you can get into it, not to mention the lower figure count. I’m on the fence about this book though. I’ll probably end up getting it (I’m waiting to see if any Black Friday deals will be announced) but I doubt I’ll use the Outlaws retinue at all, I’d rather have nobles or Crusades. The first campaign I doubt I’d use for the same reason, though I suppose you could easily just swap out the Outlaws for nobles or Muslim forces. The DIY campaign looks the most interesting but I’d rather there was an online version to plot hex moves etc so that you don’t have to effectively create your own quite large board game just to play it. I’m just concerned that it won’t justify the significant amount of effort and possibly expense that will be involved. If I do go for Barons War though I think I’ll definitely have to get a 3D printer for all the terrain needs. I’ve avoided it up until now but buying that much terrain will get costly!

I know this is two months after the video was posted, but what a rock solid video of solo gameplay this was. I’m just discovering Rogue Warriors and started exploring solo videos for it. This video has sold me on it. What a great narrative this game had. Your game was transformed in my mind to a full on action movie. I haven’t yet looked, but I hope you have more Rogue Warrior videos this one. It is clearly the best I’ve seen for the game. Champion level stuff.

Good review. Any idea how well it'd work to kitbash them? Perry arms on WA bodies, or vice versa?

Things were going great, until they weren't, lol. Fun game, I need to pick up a copy. And yeah, I agree, once you've played alternating activation YouGoIGo is no good!

Very good and helpful videos! It is a real shame that Vanguard isn't more popular, as I find it is a superior game to GW's Mordheim and Warcry, just more depth and tactically more interesting, plus cheaper too.

Those Mazon bases look great; as does the terrain. Very simple but effective.

great video, fantastic looking models!

Great material! May I ask where are the toppers for HOT from?

OMG! What has happened to this dice (ash!) tray?🙂

Good jobb! More DZ please!🤙😎

GG!🤙

Enjoyable batrep. Beautiful board!

that is an AMAZING board

I really like the nightstalkers, but the Matsudan are fantastic and I think I might grab some of these bad boys.

And what do you want to become when you grow up?

Amazing set up terrain and minis! Very enjoyable

Good job!

Just getting past the line up at about 3:37m and imho i find the allied miniatures poses a bit strange, a sniper with fixed bayonet, what is the Bren gunner doing holding his gun like that, the one holding the bayonet....its positioning is off. The sentries look ace, great poses and really look the part. Great video !

Careful! The sentries are sure to spot those footprints! "Sir, anyone been over here but us? I have 25mm base footprints here!"

This was awesome! The miniatures and battlefield were brilliant, and loved the graphics. I was a huge fan of Commandoes, too; that was the inspiration for the templates. Great job on the battle report, and we are so happy to hear you've been enjoying the ruleset. Thanks, Hal!

Whoa, this ruleset is really starting to gain traction. Wasn't expecting to see a battle report for it here! Just started looking into it myself a couple weeks ago.

Tried Brood Guard with combat blades but it turned out You can not use them with Halberds' smash.

Very enjoyable battle report! Great Set up!

I love love love the energy. That weird rando playing with Hal talked a bit too much though :P (PS: I have to do it: extra dice are used before any dice are rolled, I have to be fair ^^)

LOVE THIS TABLE!!!!!!!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!

Very jealous of your coloured command dice. Were these from 2nd ed? Its a shame we can't get different colours for our command dice.

Get a blue crayon and color those white dice!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Andy’s blue dice need to be banned

Really good report gents!

excellent looking game, quick query around the saving rolls for shooing (not watched all the way through yet), shouldn't it be at the same time as the to hit rolls rather than waiting to see the result and then deciding if you want to add extra dice in?

Amazing board! We rarely see vegetation on boards. The cream, green and orange looks good!

Good to see you back. 🤘

Is that Andy? 🤯welcome back and happy birthday!!!

First

all rules should be ring bound

I love this insight from the RC! I can’t wait to get a Ronin on the table against some night stalkers!

This is awesome. Will definitely get out all my Nightstalkers from the Vanguard Kickstarter. Very cool

'riding a horse doesn't fit', looks at giant monkey riding a bionic lion

Very cool addition 👏

@ClaudioMacShepherd Did you know that Howlett has a pistol?

Great video so good to see your back. 😊

Don't know who this Claudio guy is. Are you sure he's on the RC??

Really enjoyed hearing Claudio's thoughts on designing the teams!

great to see you back and I've been loving the new teams from Mantic and the RC.

Have you stopped making videos ?

This game is graetplayed it with the guy who runs the miniature land scape hobbies channel at a games con in canada and it kicked ass

Great video helped a bunch making the tank

What scale models are you using?

I am guessing this was an earlier iteration of the rules that didn’t have regen or the limit on resilient, as I checked for “transfixed by fear” and that appears to be gone. 😢

Ap4 nullifies resilient, right?
