I love my Thracians shame to hear they aren’t represented broadly!! Also some of my fav foundry minis to paint, using micron pens for the cloth print details.

New player trying to get the rules right - Why were Zach's crossbowmen hitting your Hearthguard cav on 4s in melee? Shouldn't it be 5s?

I usually listen to the podcast, and I would have bet my entire savings on Monty having a beard

When you consider that arms/weapons/heads/shields/etc from other Gripping Beast kits are interchangeable with these figures, the options increase substantially.

Nice!

Age of Invasions Franks please

sounds wild.

Amazing ! I have to admit I could have gone for a French Die set with the "fleur de lys" lily flower !

Let's go!

Monty is it 'Antediluvian Miniatures' you're thinking of for the Scottish miniatures.

Et merde c'est en anglais!!! à l'âge de la chevalerie on parlait français...

Is eBob Miniatures the 'smaller company' you mentioned for Scottish models by any chance?

Where can I preorder the book and dice?

I wonder if you can use the Florence sub list to represent both Florence and the other Tuscan cities that fought against them in the 14th century. Siena, Lucca, Pistoia, etc.

At least it is one set for the entire age though. That is nice.

Is there a link to the Saga player finder map?

Vive les escargots de Bourgogne ! I do hope the Burgundians possess the unique ability to waft the sweet scent of garlic butter across the battlefield, thereby demoralizing their enemies through the sheer terror of culinary superiority.

SHhh - LYA- KH - TA, its easy( or just call it nobles)

i fear western armies will be really similar.....

Looks really good. One of the best books IMHO

I have all the Saga Dice.

I've been looking forward to this one!

There was indeed Woo and Hoo! 😂

Go Charlie - honorary Saga Ohio Warlord!

Wooo TankRider!

I was feeling pretty discouraged by this army, this and advice from a friend is making it look more like this is a usuable army

Good interview David! I'm the famous Luis cited in the interview btw ;-)

Great interview ! Shoutout to David K for representing the Montreal community!

It's great to see you here David. :) Cheers !

Re: javelins I tend to use the free shots woth my Welsh after moving a unit within the 'M' javelin range.

This whole FAQ just feels like they gutted the personality of some factions, namely the Spanish. It’s really a shame. It feels like balance for tournaments changes which, if true, is really disheartening because that tends to be when most games start to decline and I would hate to see my fav game fall in to the trap of appeasing competitive players at the expense of theme and personality….

I understand this might not be the most up to data FAQ, but I had a question on Javelins: Can I activate a unit with javelins, within M of an enemy unit, shoot at them, and then charge them, all with the same activation and generating no fatigue? Thanks for your inputs!

Oh, Monty, you sweet summer child, thinking the community would be reasonable with the interpretations of whether brought back models count as dead... (no, I'm not salty at all) But this is all very exciting. I think I got at least 2 new projects from this FAQ alone...

For Polish, quick assessment as someone with at least 30-40 games with this army: - The Clash and Terror of the East - good changes but these were in the previous FAQ so nothing new in 2024 - Hold The Line - more useful overall. Hard to explain briefly why, but in terms of modern scenario design (being exhausted = bad for objectives/scoring) as well as the nuances of this army it's preferred by me. Old version had zero impact against shooting - new version (with Rare) makes the unit very hard to hurt. New version lets me turn spear levy into unkillable bunker while letting my HW warriors swing away at attackers. Upgrade outside maybe one or two ultra-niche situations. - Szlachta - 'better' but unbelievably expensive and also a subtle nerf - old version could be used by mounted warriors and Warlord, now HG only. I preferred the old version, though even that was already prohibitively expensive and often went unplayed. Warlord being able to charge without a Saga die was a great choice for the old version - now that's off the table. - Voivode - hard nerf. This ability let me activate 5 units (including 2-3 levy) for ANY type of activation. This got played every turn (unless zero rares). New version just sits idle most times. Now competes directly for UC with Specialists. Old version did not. New version is restrictive (have to remove a fatigue if they have one); old version gave option (want to move or charge or shoot even though you have a fatigue? Go ahead!) Severe downgrade, unless you like to just run a bunch of heavy weapons warriors I guess. - Squires - not 'changed', but massacre point FAQ in rulebook 2024 is a boost to this. Sadly now worse than the hated Ordo who get the amazing Enlist ability and retain their own Rare-based mass activation power.

29:32 Shouldnt 4 casualties by Spear of Light cast on a behemoth ( which have Resilience(2) ) only result in 2 fatigue, not 4 ?

As a Byzantium player, I love the changes. Historically, the Byzantine Empire was very cavalry obsessed, so it is nice to see that more reflected on the board.

All the Viking players waiting for when they can resurrect sacrificed models.

Nice tutorial

You mentioned that you do not use their metals. I am guessing you do not prefer them. Which metals do you like?

Are the chapter timestamps AI generated? They make no sense :D

Great stuff!!!!

Nicely painted chorfs.

is this why you missed the tournament JP? :p

My tip for this: blutac your shields on. 1. You need some Bostik BluTack or equivalent product. Stain it black by colouring it with a permanent marker, folding in the pigment, and repeating until dark enough not to draw the eye. 2. Use a 3mm ball of this to attach your shields, instead of super glue. One advantage is that if a shield ever falls off, you can just stick it back on again with the same bit of BluTack. But specific to this video, you can have one set of models with multiple sets of shields, and swap the shields to make them look like different factions.

What’s with the nose breathing/laughing

I'm delighted to hear you're halfway to a Numidian flying circus! A warband like no other.

Pagan Peoples warband Don't forget to add 8 2-handed axemen for Lithuanians, Rog !

Ah, Gladius. An ability that (mostly) with a Rare finally makes it safe to attack shooting levy in melee ;)
