Could this please be a yearly episode? 😁 It'd be cool to see an updated version including golden acrylics, heavy body acrylics and the lines that have come out since. Plus the Vincey V gold and copper home brew got all the contrast types aswell now a days. Would be great to see how you think they stack up.

I’m a little late, is this essentially making a speed paint Vince?

Hey, it's me from the future which is now for me I guess. I mainly play narrative path to glory, it makes the game complete for me. Not playing it feels like playing Blood Bowl or Mortheim without am ongoing campaign. I know it's not for everyone becauae not every group got the time for that nut I love it. You're getting so many cool new synergies you would mever get just playing matched play.

excellent show as usual even solo! also wanted to respond about PTG as my partner and I enjoy it and it's a good fit for us with our busy work schedule. I really enjoy matched play games, but don't always have the time to play with others or a full on 2000 point game. 1000 Points are quicker, but lose some fun aspects/strategies since game balances tend to be focused on 2000 points games which makes sense as the tournamnet scene focuses on that. So PTG adds some extra elements that make smaller games at 1000 points or lower a bit more interesting; It's a nice balance of time and enough rules 'flavor'. We also like to have our units feel a bit more important with the added RPG/story aspects and makes painting them a bit more engaging. Anyway, really glad they are still supporting PTG in the new edition. Wouldn't mind it if you guys covered it once in a while or at least a quick shoutout. I get a little sad when you guys skip over it during tome discussions or think it's too lame hehe

Could battle tactics be used as a way to bring solo play?

Just coming across this, such a challenging colour to work with and this was exactly what I needed to progress. Thanks!

Gonna miss Tyler. Hope everything works out for him and his family.

Would hull red be fine as a base prime, then the ornj and bone? Also would this work for cloth just as well?

I really liked this stream. Its really nice to see details on a narrative playstyle, something that GW is notorious for underselling to the community. I really hope that this pushed people to not treat the Matched Play system as the end all, be all of AoS

As I said last week, with the benefit so seeing the second article, spearhead is definitely what has me engaged the most. Path to glory, should appeal to me, I loved the slaves to darkness campaigns we even modified it for 5th ed. I enjoyed the original white dwarf path to glory ... the new ones in all the iterations I have read seems to be to mechanic focused. Also not army games. If I have done army campaigns the best have always been the old overlords 3 part narrative style. Game 1 have a setting, name the leader play the game. Name peices as they draw your attention, game 2 use game 1 to set objectives, game 3 the finale informed by games 1 and 2. Very emergent story, not mechanical

I’m not sure anyone plays path to glory but I really want to haha

Thanks a lot for providing this show consistently, despite the challenges. I'm super excited for Spearhead. Currently doing a little Tom-impression and finishing three Spearheads to provide more variety to my playgroup. Honestly, the best thing is, that some friend, who left during AoS 2 and 3, will return to our group, because they are hyped for Spearhead as well. What's not to love about that?!

Thank you, genuinely, for helping me understand how the *hell* glazing even works.

How have I never thought of adding flow improver to my paint water. It seems so obvious.

Absolutely love how you teach! No one does it better!

Path to Glory is narrative painting

You’re great Vince! Thanks !

I would make a new army with the new skaven, similar to space marine players, myself include, I love my first born army its done and complete and I paint and collect a new army with the Primaris marines

This video made me feel... It... Damn it.. Make the sad go away!@@

I just tried this method and the results are great. My second “try hard” nmm and there’s no doubt it’s supposed to be copper. Thanks Vince!!

I’m still very wary of under dog mechanics (I feel Vince is generous on the design team’s skills). Was it implemented in order to have these nail biting finishes (kinda self fulfilling prophecy)? But it feels like it undermines the rest of the game (and VPs don’t exactly tracking who is winning, they are more of a binary ‘who won’). Spearhead tactics - this feels like an upgraded version of the 40k one. (You can discard for CP in 40k.)

Great viddy! Sorry if someone has asked this. Do you prefer Satin or Matt surfaces when varnishing between steps?

Sir, can i use medium thinner for airbrush? And still need flow improver or not

I have played a little 40K crusade and some narrative fantasy. Hoping to start proper PtG in AoS4 though it'll involve a lot of homebrew. Very excited for Anvil of Apotheosis being a core feature of narrative rules for 4.0

If you love the randomised objectives and command abilities maybe you should give underworlds a try. Its not the exact same because the two effects aren't combined, but that was the main thing I kept thinking while you were gushing about the battle tactics.

I played path to glory for a while in a narrative focused campaign. Was fun up until some of the most regular available opponent's ideas of playing their armies narratively was to avoid trying to win because they wouldn't fight to the death so it was just sky dwarves playing solitaire at me while I farmed points and got shot at.

I like the cards better for battle tactics, a way to use them that could work in matched play is to be able to do the normal commands from the cards that are already available through the command points system for free and even if it was already used in the phase. For path to glory, I've played narrative event that used modified versions of the path to glory rules and very much enjoyed myself, this new system seems very fun, especially the anvil of apotheosis, will probably try it with my friends.

Don't know how much you're taking suggestions for guests but I'd love if you had on Campbell Mclaughlin of 40k badcast and Goonhammer fame, hes one of my favorite commentators in the tabletop gaming space and I keep accidentally collecting all the same armies as him (Black Templars, Stormcast, Slaves to Darkness). As far as using the Battle Tactics system from Spearhead in full games of AoS, I'm perfectly willing to throw the regular BT system in the trash but I'm not quite so willing to throw the existing Command system in the trash. I'd have to see it all in action though before I fully made up my mind.

As a new player, generally really looking forward to the new edition, I agree with the group's views on the battle tactics. The one real downer so far.

My group plays path to glory along with match play regularly, it's great fun 👍

Just catching up, hello from the future. I played PTG with my stepson when he first got interested in AoS, it was good for introductions, small warbands, not too overwhelming for rules. I'd say don't compare it to RPGs, it's a different kind of narrative game. You've already come up with a story and background for your general and the games are their rise to power, not uncovering truths and hidden pasts and their place in a wider world like D&D. For that kind of game in an AoS setting I'd say play Soulbound, I guess. It does feel like Spearhead is taking up that Little League games space leaving PTG redundant, though. 🤷

Hey vince how would u show gold weathering on big vehicles? Maybe some verdigris to make it contrast?

My play group pivots between wanting to practice for local tournaments by using GHB rules and battle tactics, and playing narrative campaigns. It's a space where you can build up and army and try new things and worry more about having an epic narrative without the tax of getting in and out of a boat to win the battle. We make up some of our own missions, and play through the narrative missions that come with battle tomes and the new dawnbringer series. Especially when learning an army, or playing with the portions of our play group that don't keep up with the game as much.

So amped for Spearhead and the potential it seems to be bringing to the table= fingers-crossed! As for your potenitla new co-host...Been a ragular consumer of Warhammer Weekly since the start of AoS and have always enjoyed the crews take on the game and hobby. As a whole the community has seemed to be much more comptetively and meta focused with this past edition of AoS3. Have alwyas enjoyed Tyler's take on the hobby (I miss Scrubby & Wells!) but I think you guys got really tunnle-visioned on the competeive aspect fo the game. Would be good to see some balanced perspective with a new regular voice that is not just another known entity in the community. I understand that matched play is a big part of what dirves the currnet game and community, but we need not forget that the hobby and narratve aspect of the game is what makes it uinuqe and brings a little magic to engaging with the game/hobby. more magic is mor better! ;)

It's a crime that they are only doing two paths when the Eldar paths are right over there to pilfer for aspecting our armies.

Path to Glory is how I've been able to play more than the occasional one off game. The last campaign I did awarded points for writing fiction that turned the games into an ongoing story which I loved (my son won the loremaster award). This looks like it returns to rules like 2nd edition which I didn't enjoy as much, but we'll see what the full rules look like.

Really hoping they make spearhead boxes for the split army wings like BCR and ironjawz, 3rd was really lacking a good way to get into the latter

My only question: IS TYLER FINE??

i clicked like and got room service!

A 2v2 mode where you connect 2 board would be great for Spearhead.

We know that Spearhead will be a double sided board for Aqshy and Ghyran. Could be cool if they released other board with another pair of realms, with their own twists and BT deck.

The LGS's here have each run a couple Path to Glory campaigns over the course of 3rd edition, they were pretty popular and drew in a good amount of new players each time. It's a fun way to play, just seems like the biggest hurdle is having a store willing & able to organize such a campaign and drive interest over the course of a couple months.

I can be your cohost, if you want a regular non warhammer famous person. A mere peasant if you will.

Path to Glory. I really dislike the homework and bookkeeping it adds to the game. That part just isn't fun for me. But I really, really enjoy the more narrative battle plans where your army wants to do something other than stand in circles. I wish that part - the battle plans - would get more support over the course of the edition.

Path to Glory has been a great system for us out here in my local area. We do have a decent amount of players for matched Play and tournaments. However our player base is more interested in narrative and Path to Glory so we run a couple campaigns a year of that. 10-15 on average for our tourneys but our PtG leagues will bring anywhere from 25-40 at our highest count last year. For myself at least, I do a ton of tourneys a year and couple practice games so outside of that, it's refreshing and much more an interest to me with the Shake up and fun that can happen with PtG or even Triumph and Treachery over the standard matched play.

Given your love for RPGs, for experiences emerging from gaming, and overall Timmy lifestyle, I'm curious why you don't engage in Path to Glory.

You taking resumes for new co-host slots? Haha

If HeyWoah becomes a co-host, petition to change all Story Time segments into “Propaganda” hahaha

21:20 I’ve never played path to glory, but I’m still playing Meeting Engagement and think it’s the best way to play AoS😅, I even have several special boards for that type of game. But I’m weird that way 😊

Spearhead deck in the box?
