[@stefanfrisk9598]

Of everything Adam Savage has, the enthusiasm is what I want most!

[@livefree1030]

agreed.

[@bigfilsing]

Exactly !

[@dawsonboyle99]

Stefan Frisk as a creator himself he is very enthusiastic and respectful of others craft and I love that about him!

[@stefanfrisk9598]

agreed!

[@Justin-eb4vy]

This better gets mass-produced. Fucking amazing.

[@DeathBringer769]

Back their Kickstarter whenever it pops up.

[@DekanWheeler]

They have a mailing list here that I'm certain will let us know when it's on Kickstarter. gkrgame.com/mail/

[@MrDabien]

its out now

[@Volvith]

I need one of the big killer robots for my collection. The imperium of man is about to make a lot of lives nonexistent... o-o But seriously, these are some of the coolest models i have ever seen, and i'd legitimately want one, just to paint it and put it on a shelf and be like: "Yeah... Its a giant giant killer robot. It's, uh... pretty dope... Yep. Thats mine. :3"

[@mccoyisthebest]

im not into the tabletop of warhammer just the video games, but could you get one of these robots and implement them into a space marine army? would the game rules allow it?

[@Rohnon]

You could not use them in a GW Store, because they only allow for GW models. However if your opponent allows it you could use anything, however the biggest issue with that are the Bases, since this is the biggest criterium

[@Exidous96]

=][= The Emperor Protects =][=

[@chromedog68]

You have stores large enough to play in? My local isn't big enough to SKIN a cat in, let alone swing one.

[@Rohnon]

Most of the Stores I know, even the small ones have two gaming tables

[@artfx9]

Every time Adam holds a master sculpt, everyone gets extra nervous haha!

[@noivern1380]

not being an ass or anything but more is misspelled in the description

[@knallpistolen]

mroe thumbs up pls :)

[@xMRxZEROx]

I absolutely adore and love Adams gleeful enthusiasm about damn near everything. Watching him talk to these guys and they explain what they do and you can see this massive genuine smile spread across his face and you can plainly see just how awe struck and happy he is. It makes me happy to see how much passion he has for everything. I wish I could be his friend. Just for the positivity he spreads.

[@JoshQuake]

I love when Adam is the interviewer. The pure enthusiasm and real intrigue makes these way better than Will or Norm.

[@maxthrust976]

I hope you guys don't run out of Weta content ever. These vids have all been so fantastic.

[@SamuelHiti]

There needs to be a movie out of this game concept.

[@ranwolf76]

Robot Jox is the closest I can think of at the moment

[@SamuelHiti]

ranwolf76 Cool thanks! I looked it up. I'm going to watch it! :)

[@simmonslucas]

everything this company does is dope!

[@timmyg6749]

Trollocs Work had, gain skills and one day you could be working there!

[@msepic5912]

Some of the nicest looking models I've ever seen, wish that they were for sale because I'd definitely buy some

[@winterseyes]

Did anybody notice Mount Doom in the back on the shelf...Awesome!

[@caseymiller3829]

Man the guys at weta all seem like such chill dudes. Like the kinda guys who you can hit a swell with then go into work and make a bunch toys together.

[@TheGameLecturer]

Those are the coolest looking robots I have seen for a long time! They are not anthropomorphic but they do look alive, awesome designs.

[@ReverendTed]

Diamondback Industries #66 kept catching my eye in the background of a previous video and I kept hoping for a clearer view. Awesome (especially for me as a fan of Steel Battalion.)

[@josef2012]

all of these weta vids are amazing.really great stuff.

[@BLAZE084]

Wooooooooow!!!! I want to play this and have these models on my shelf for display!!! Amazing!!!!

[@tpjedi]

Board Game needs to be made into a video game! But omg how cool is it to walk into Weta Workshop, I was like a kid again, I so wanted to live there :)

[@_PatG_]

NORM I NEED that shirt you have. *dehydrated SpongeBob voice* "I NEEEEEDDD IIIIIIITTTTT"

[@artfx9]

These guys are awesome! Such inspiration! Best of luck to them!

[@JuanFuentes222]

SO, now that Mythbusters finished Adam Savage met a bunch of random people on youtube and became a freaking youtuber.... THAT'S GLORIOUS

[@MaMastoast]

Dont think that's quite what happened ^^ Adam was part of Tested whilst still working on mythbusters :) And without really knowing exactly how long, I get the impression that he's known the Tested guys for a good while

[@forgotn42]

I don't even play tabletop games, but I would buy every single one of these robots just to have the figure. They are stunning!

[@SansaStarkofWinterfell]

I still like the 3-d Labyrinth game Weta is working on... I wish I could get that! Wowzer that is awesome.

[@JTMC93]

A note: A lot of Miniature Wargame companies are moving to digital design and have been for years for cost reasons. Especially for High-Impact Polystyrene kits. IIRC Hawk Wargames does that for Dropfleet Commander.

[@gamematz4027]

I am super excited about this kickstarter and we are backing two copies. AMAZING WORK!

[@basilb4524]

they should manufacture this as a model kit

[@buddhajim]

So, So cool. Takes me back to my "Traveller" 77' board game days

[@Badcrow7713]

Dude those extra back legs on the yellow heavy hitter look sick

[@ravingmad8]

Saw these on display at GenCon this past summer. They looked pretty neat, but the booth didn't have a lot of information about the game. Pretty much just a tease. Tested should visit Reaper Miniatures in Denton Texas to see how miniatures are traditionally made with sculpting the greens, casting the masters, and then tooling and molding for production in pewter.

[@-tdjramsey-5407]

Not into board games but I love anything robot related, I'd love to have one of these.

[@aaaa6824]

Well, I've got a new game to play now.

[@Vault87supermutant]

If only you had some friends

[@aaaa6824]

Nice try.

[@Monkeyshaman]

What thankless was trying to say was: -Can I be your friend, Please.

[@aaaa6824]

I'm down with that.

[@fen4554]

You could tell Adam was in his element among peers.

[@ben_bennie_nie]

That plot at the start feels as intelligent as the Pacific Rim movie. So just imagine what spectacle you'd get if you make a movie out of it.

[@wi11y1960]

Adam, you have such a interesting vocabulary. "gobsmacking"

[@Stefanjache]

Bravo. YOUNG company. Great job Tested & Adam for the support.

[@RhezaMaulana]

kickass paint job on those models

[@Prashant-ls3dd]

nice looking modified gundam models they have there ( not dissing ..... appreciate their enthusiasm and dedication to the art )

[@JurassicCollectables]

Great work by these guys - they should be proud of themselves!

[@Brianolvera]

can't wait for the Kickstarter!

[@jamesfoster7158]

I love the robot models, but did I think I'd really love to have that lathe in the background.

[@BrenainnJordan]

the designs are freaking cool as hell! will the larger scale models be available?

[@z33pys5]

Those look awesome. I want that game!

[@cody180sx]

Would be cool if sometime in the future Weta relesed unpainted kits for people to do and make their own robots for the universe etc.

[@sevilyartoos]

Love the munchkin figure and the entire Holy Grail POPs on the shelf lol

[@creamskye]

Woahh, I think thats a miniature Minas Tirith at 5:38 !!

[@Rickenbacker69]

So, X-Wing TMG on the ground? :) But yeah, those robot models look absolutely astonishing! This is something I'll have to try. Also, if I could switch lives with ONE person on this earth, it'd be Adam Savage.

[@Rickenbacker69]

And secondly, now I really, really wish that Fantasy Flight would do huuuge versions of their X-Wing models and sell them to us :).

[@Mr_Mooo]

I WANT ONE!!! I want one of the full scale robot models :D

[@soviut]

Digging those Elysium cybernetic arm hoodies they have.

[@Piyratheon]

The models look amazing!

[@taursanx]

the high pitched noise from adam in the begiining xD

[@musicandcoffee2853]

Adam, you have the best channel in the world!

[@slushosaur]

Adam should Visit Games Workshop in Nottingham England and check out how Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar are made! I'd love to see his take on behind the scenes at the big HQ office and his reaction to the Citadel Miniatures museum displays, one of them is HUGE!

[@EmBoLabe]

For a kickstarter this looks very promising. Might trow in a couple of bucks to support these mech creators.

[@kevinalford]

Robot Jox was a really good movie for the budget.

[@bobanaut]

having the weta district 9 exosuit, i am pretty sure the camera did not catch a fraction of the detail these models have.

[@Hotkoin222]

shoutout to the righteous bison in the background

[@TheYESDance]

This whole concept is definitely movie material

[@zaggrukk8644]

Already was. Robot Jox. Low budget movie. But this game has the same premise.

[@griffia]

i he you guys had a look at wingnut wings when you were there. they make amazing stuff!!!

[@tombeer9]

i like their hoodies with the exosuite pattern

[@yourmindyourworld1100]

Turned out to be a great game. Deserves all of the support :)

[@vervedonk]

Aaron Beck is amazing, designs the best organic reminiscant robots with parts that look plausible.

[@charlie1872]

Totally awesome.I have been waiting for the big ones to be made. I am inspired by Christian and Adam

[@Exidous96]

While I'm commenting, does anyone have any good guides or resources for multipart model making? For instance, taking your sculpt and breaking it down for the molding process?

[@dichterdichter3593]

wow, the guy with the glasses is VERY nervous, he shivers like a puppy taking a dump. but those guys are doing cool stuff.

[@misplays_irl1261]

The only thing in the room that interests me is the Righteous Bison behind the dude in the hat.

[@noofdavy]

I love this concept this is a great!

[@purplepuma123]

Tested need to 'forget' someone at weta ;) I'll be gutted when this series comes to an end.

[@JohnMichael23inSD]

I may have to dely my wedding so I can fully support the Kickstarter! Also, I may need a place to stay! heh

[@astasna]

Wow, what are your favorite 3D printer at Weta for these statues ? Thanks

[@dragoncharmer12345]

please tell me I'm not the only one who saw the righteous bison in the background

[@nintendogeek138]

i wonder if they will put out blanks for customs

[@365waystomakemoney]

Nice Funko Pops! @7:40

[@MichaelBerthelsen]

This could even make an awesome strategy PC game!

[@jokker03]

After some google-fu I'm even more impressed. An amazing and beautiful tabletop game fleshed out and nearing the end of the design phase BEFORE the kickstarter campaign is up? It's too much, just please please please take my money.

[@madderfakka]

Adam should make a trip to Games Workshop Nottingham!

[@kkbates3953]

I wish they also produced models of Mech's from MechWarrior!!!

[@urgac247]

Haven't watched it yet... but I bet he works the term "nontrivial," into conversation

[@xxgrimriverxx9845]

Makes you wish they'll do a revamp of Battletech TT pieces.

[@lorcannagle]

The modern BattleTech minis are very nice indeed. Check out Iron Wind Metals for the metal models and Catalyst Games Lab for the rules and plastic ones.

[@F4R207]

Weta doing board gaming? Look out Cool Minis. Hope they get some great game play mechanics down, like Cool Minis partering up with for example Eric Lang. I know that Weta has some former Games Workshop guys in their shop. getting a bit of a Ashley Woods WO3A feel to the Bots.

[@lucidnightmare927]

Did you guys made that EYE OF SAURON?

[@streglof]

I'd have some of those large scale robots, please...

[@DawnHub666]

They should do an episode on Warhammer, Games Workshop and Forge World

[@senrabnaneek]

But how does the game work? What's the goal, and roughly how do you go about it? Even their website doesn't tell you anything!

[@themetalreaperttv]

so GKR is a borad game of titan fall 2 the game. essentially i mean. i know its not exact but you can see were the idea came from.

[@EctoPlasmic]

Any info on the Proton Pack and Trap in the back?

[@jaxonwright9512]

NORM I SAW YOU AT CES, WHERE WAS ADAM!!!

[@philipmicallef997]

really amazing !!

[@nightman6349]

that one guy really like to call them "heavy hitters"

[@wakaran933]

This sounds like the premise of a mecha anime

[@Exidous96]

I neeeeeeeeeeeeeeed that game and those models on my shelf this instant! Such a shame that I cant buy the game right now :(

[@iciclecold2991]

it's beautiful, and I want one

[@ZacharyArrow]

I bet you anything Adam is going to help them financially

[@joshbird9883]

Welcome to New Zealand adam

[@paullefebvre2971]

this guy in glasses is so creepy, you can clearly see how he wanted to be leader to talk with Adam, but then Adam switches on the other guy, and the first's guy hands start shaking.

[@bigwillyswanson]

Reminds me of the bots from MGS

[@DavidLeeKersey]

What I want to know is why is there a giant Rat Fink?

[@Aequorin628]

I just realized this, is Savage his real last name?

[@ToastAndJellyfish]

After all the years of Mythbusters and now his tenure on Tested, and the fact that the Internet is a thing that exists, you're JUST now realizing that's his actual last name?

[@Aequorin628]

I know, but I just realized how awesome it is.

[@thomassmedegaardandersen6238]

hmm did not know that Weta made the Righteous Bison

[@joedynamo1325]

wish I can play this game

[@justinbustin677]

do some iconx or earth metal kits?
