No Sign of Life inspired me to re-paint the bases on all my models to be Hoth-like. Like you said, the blue undertones really give it depth, and I love it. As for the terrain, I've found that white buildings + black gantries/roof platforms with a snowy dusting works very well and doesn't look out of place.

We never pretend to be perfect, and fully acknowledge that mistakes are sometimes made. We do our best to acknowledge when it happens, and point it out, and have it be a way for others to learn from our mistakes. And this is before you add in the weird impact filming has on gameplay. In the end, this content is made available to everyone for free. If the mistakes bother you, then I am sorry to say the content might not be for you, and I am sure there there are some more competitive based videos out there, that make no mistakes, you would rather watch

The storm/snow troopers in this game felt like the way they're described in A New Hope: precise, deadly, a legion of faceless, remorseless killers. Y'know, as opposed to "those guys who got marked by teddy bears". Actually, considering how deadly the Ewoks are in this game, it's pretty cool to see AMG turning these units into who they were meant to be.
@AegisbrandStudios4 күн бұрын
Just keep in mind we misread coordinated fire, and applied the extra dice to the second attack from the support units 2/3 times. A reactive can only trigger once per turn

Wow, what a perfectly characterful Empire list! 2 named commanders who would both rather hang back out of the fight, plus their legions of nameless soldiers and constant bombardment, it just felt perfect. I'd love to try a matchup like that against something like the Spectres, just for the dichotomy between "all the characters" and "all the troopers".
@joesleboda72005 күн бұрын
Honest cultural difference question - Does "mook" mean something different in Canada? I ask because the standard US meaning is certainly derogatory, but you seem to throw it around as a term of endearment. 🤷♂️
@j4bb3rw0ck5 күн бұрын
It's pretty much equivalent to "goon" here, but "goon" has a whole other connotation in hockey (it's a player whose job is to start fights and be a bully on the ice), so "mook" sees more usage in gaming as "random nameless dude". It's not intentionally a term of endearment, but it's certainly evolved into that. My gaming group uses it all the time when we're referring to anyone without an individual name or title, and sometimes those models get WORK done. We also say things like "ok, I activate this idiot", or, if they've done something really cool, "this glorious idiot". It's also important to point out that while "mook" is derogatory, it's not racist or classist or sexist or referring to any particular demographic. It's a fun word to use and won't cause unintended offense, no matter the company.

What is it derogatory towards?
@AegisbrandStudios4 күн бұрын
It is, mostly, a term to call someone foolish, or an idiot. It is odd to think that it may be considered derogatory, as it is mostly a term that has fallen out of use. Generally, we do not consider it derogatory to call someone an idiot, or foolish, especially when warranted. If there are viewers out there who do consider it derogatory, let me know. I will cease use of it right away, without any argument, as that is not where I want to be with the language I use on the channel. If it is a term I should not be using, I can assure you it is one that is done out of ignorance of the fact, not malice, and I am always up for growing and bettering myelf

In round 4 you said you didn't have the power for hideous monster, but Dracula just did 3 damage to Steve so should have had 3 power. Hideous monster is paid for by the defender not Frank. Also the turn before Frank did no damage and you said you didn't gain power, but he has a gainer so always gets 1 (so should have had 2 in the next round)

I think that this battle report highlights some issues of the Shatterpoint. Mainly - most of the early releases are significantly weaker than the newer ones. In terms of action economy, synergies, expertise charts and overall amount of dice. As an example, ewoks here were able to gain free focus action, hunkers, generate additional dice while Sep/Mando list couldn’t do the same. To sum up, I think that the game urgently requires errata.
@AegisbrandStudios11 күн бұрын
Some of the earlier releases could definitely benefit from some tweaking. Adjust some expertise here, and trigger there. Some minor adjustments could probably go a long way to bringing the core box stuff in line

I'm not so sure the older stuff is worse or in need of a tweak (with maybe literally one or two exceptions - 501st, for example), but if AMG did make adjustments, I bet they would take the MCP approach and make very, very small changes. They've proven that they are capable of using a tiny hammer to make things much better. :)
