DETH RISES! - Deth Wizards Launch Video (NEW GAME!)

[@Ninjon]

Infomercial Vince is best Vince. Also, I've played this game and its a f'ing BANGER.

[@gavinwilliams302]

I ‘accidentally’ bought a whole bunch of zombies and skeleton recently with no idea what I was going to use them for. Now I know.

[@Bluecho4]

I, meanwhile, have a bunch of zombie and ghost models in my pile of shame, waiting to be added to my undead horde. Getting more opportunities to use them is just fantastic.

[@IzzysIssues]

Favorite part of every year is when a new Snarling Badger game drops

[@stuartmc4422]

My Cursed City minis are going to make perfect fodder for my deathly horde.

[@kivitelezo]

Bought it. Now I'm ready to buy/build/paint yet another set of figures for a Snarling Badger game that will no one play with me. I'm still happy for you guys! Keep on!

[@elyzzabeth]

Ive been watching your channel way too much resently, but as someone who is always a necromancer on main, you are finally speaking my language Boss.

[@tidewatertrains]

Having just bought, printed and bound y’all’s first ‘zine from last year, I’m very interested in this latest project - the art looks absolutely wicked, and the theme is a great one that has seen way too little exploration in any sort of gaming space. I look forward to watching the game & community grow while I scrape together some minis to try it myself!

[@dances4980]

As a nerd with a large night haunt collection already, I see this as an absolute WIN! Thanks again Vince. I picked up the cards this time because after playing MJ13 I see how useful those kind of tools can be. Really Looking forward to this one!

[@ianfalzonmoon]

Well done! 💪🏻 Been waiting for a "classic" fantasy game from Snarling badger 😊

[@marceld3086]

1:59 it's nice to see that even in undeath, there is still time for some love. Also, as a fan of everything undead, this is a must buy for me.

[@maxwellpettelle4978]

Martin McCoy's art is instantly recognizable. Can't wait to play this one!

[@MarsGamingGroup]

Hey Vince! Congrats on the new game. Deth Wizards looks fun and I will be picking it up. How many undead will there be in a average warband? I'm visualizing hordes of the dead bashing into each other on the small board size and how much chaotic fun it's going to be

[@VinceVenturella]

So to start, the hordes can range from 2 to 7 undead, depending on your choices. As you grow, the maximum you could ever have is 19 (dread horde master, all small undead), but the more likely would be something like 6-8.

[@krzto]

This is an awesome collab. Snarling Badger, amazing cover art & colors, Knucklebones grim sculpts, and Sam's sketch art. As an owner of many GW/Mantic undead forces and unabashed fan of Frostgrave - this seems like a no-brainer to try out.

[@philgee486]

It's like this was lifted right out of my fevered brain and put in my greedy shaking hands Every single Snarling Badger game has become an immediate fun favourite My teams have become narrative delights, just through the epic gameplay This may well be the best fit for my own fantasy delusions, can't wait to get it on the table

[@TheLunchBreakPainter]

What have I been working on this year….”RAISE YOUR BONES ANCIENT DEAD!”

[@NikkiAnnMarie]

Really excited for this, looks fantastic!!!

[@NorthsouthWestly]

This seems like the ideal system to run a fantasy idea I’ve had in my head for years. Graveyard Wars! Loosely based on the “classic” trashy reality tv show Storage Wars teams of necromancers bid on crypts, mausoleums and ancient battlefields then battle it out with what corpses they can raise from the lots they have brought in the previous round.

[@TheEr910]

Woohoo. I've been sitting on a bunch of Reaper and Runewars minis with no opponents. Time to play the badguy.

[@nickmayne1901]

This sounds fantastic & very flavourful, just wandering if the agnostic miniatures have a size or height limit & can I buy a physical copy in Blighty 👍

[@VinceVenturella]

In general, with the normal minions, they should be on a 25-32mm base, but you could go up slightly without the world breaking. The larger guys (giant skeletons and such) are of course on bigger bases. It will be some time before physical copies are in local stores, but you can get the physical copy shipped to you know (and have the PDF immediately) through the link in the description.

[@senti5468]

This sounds amazing. I gotta ask how much balance went into this because I played Reign in Hell with friends and while everyone agreed it was a fantastic idea it felt a lot like an alpha version with some very obvious problems.

[@VinceVenturella]

Sure, we tested this quite a lot. Perfect balance is never our goal, but we want a fun experience. Tom (our developer) spent about 8 weeks going through the math, running the entire campaign multiple times and making iterative adjustments. Its our most tested game to date and we've grown a lot since RiH days. :)

[@senti5468]

@@VinceVenturella Hey thanks for the answer! I'll definitely get it. Hopefully I can convince folks to play.

[@MekBoooooi]

Funny cause I was planning a Necromancer and zombie list for warcry

[@TerrierHalo]

Like Christmas in May! I am a fan.

[@yumanoid5753]

Thank you for makeing a game for my only painted minis. Definitely have to get this.

[@VinceVenturella]

Glad I could help!

[@annihilationtextofficialca8941]

Ordered book and cards! I cannot wait to read the PDF tonight! This is right up my alley. Thanks Vince & Adam!

[@Wicknology]

Are you, Adam, and/or other folks going to be doing a live show to talk about this, play a game, or do Q&A? I have some questions about how you all did the design and inspirations that I want to ask but I think that I am probably not the only one that would enjoy hearing the answers to.

[@VinceVenturella]

Absolutely! Likely this Sunday.

[@NigelMills]

Looks great. Definitely want to try this out :)

[@badnamebob]

Easiest $18 I’ll ever spend! Love your games man!

[@kausalkraken5951]

I am going to love this. This is right up my alley. A good replacement for Warhammer 40k and AOS I am currently looking for.

[@VinceVenturella]

Have fun!

[@jasongalindo7912]

It would be super cool to have a game or player finder section somewhere to find players and games like this. If anyone’s interested I’m in Los Angeles (specifically Lancaster/Palmdale) and could really use some Deth Wizardry!!!

[@billdefranza4927]

This looks totally sweet! Nice work, Vince & Adam!

[@VinceVenturella]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@lukevassh7740]

Gratz on another one! ✊️

[@VinceVenturella]

Thank you 🙌

[@morgaknightgames]

Excellent use for my Cursed City and Conquest Old Dominion minis!

[@HC_tim]

These are more than a few of my favorite things

[@jaimiting]

It's so cool! Congratulations for your new game, the system is so interesting. Are you planning to make an expansion where you are a group of heroes trying to survive against the necromancers?

[@VinceVenturella]

Who ever knows what the future holds.

[@oathstoned3414]

Sweet! Just ordered. I been wanting to play one of your games. This one is perfect for me. Ghost dwarfs, nighthaunt, and cursed city have been collecting dust. I imagine my nurgle can be flesh golems. Watching battle report now. Very excited.

[@VinceVenturella]

Have fun!

[@HALLOWMORTIS]

Sounds great. I think that your games choosing one idea and fully 'fleshing' it out are a great addition to our hobby. Thanks for sharing.

[@VinceVenturella]

Awesome, thank you!

[@jacobchoptain2272]

I like the premise. Feels like a more robust and baroque version of Magnagothica Malegahst (another Necromancer skirmish game, but one that is very small scale)

[@darrinscott6612]

Awesome! Solo play + fantasy is right up my ally! I have plenty of undead, but how many of each type of hero will I need? How many villagers? I like having and painting the appropriate models.

[@VinceVenturella]

We're putting up a blog post today with all of the model counts and sources for model options. But to answer you directly, something like 3-5 is generally fine and then about 7-8 villagers per player (that is the max for the whole campaign through all scenarios).

[@wtfserpico]

Hell yeah! Ordered. Took the opportunity to finally pick up the cards for Majestic 13 too. Can't wait to try this one out.

[@markhowlett8498]

What a great idea! The classic Undead always had a special place in my heart. Some of the most creative humans are related with the "-deth" wordspiel, so that was a very good choice and some out there now might feel humbled. Doing my own cards for "holy" Daemonology in the Old World atm., but only with stolen art. Very time-consuming but you want to hold something special when casting "Steed of Sunlight" or "Vortex of Blades" instead of the evil counterpart spell. One of my oldest Necromancer characters sure will chuckle in delight when he's much more the centre of attention than in other games. So let us join you all in UNDETH and rattle those bones, I'm here for it!

[@manofaction1807]

You guys had me sold at the title!!! I know the Pedigree and am impressed!!

[@kellykuciemba6789]

I'm really excited about this game!

[@paulmiller6431]

Love the concept and picked up the game. Excited to try it out! :)

[@VinceVenturella]

Awesome!

[@SolGladio]

I love all of your games, but this one really speaks to me. I can't wait to give it a try!

[@Victor-yd9hp]

Freakin Rad! I've never windmill slammed bought a game faster. Great job with the rules!. I feel like I can quickly and easily build any custom necromancer + horde I'd want and have them all be unique mechanically. You've really captured the necromancer fantasy with this game!

[@VinceVenturella]

Great to hear!

[@DisasterP1an]

Bought it. Space station zero was great and I’m always looking for ways to support independent creators. Thank you Vince.

[@VinceVenturella]

Fantastic!

[@AlexisGraf]

Yesssss. Now I have a reason to build and paint all that Cursed City stuff.

[@derekgarcia3069]

Love the theme on this, and I'm 99% sure we have models and terrain for this one.

[@JJR_01]

Saw Atom's video on this and had to order - sounds great and gives me an excuse to paint up a lot of the random backlog

[@gefallen8488]

This looks super awesome!!! Can’t wait to check it out

[@CJ-uf6xl]

How many miniatures will you need for a Necromancers warband? This looks fantastic!

[@VinceVenturella]

In general, to start out, you need your necromancer and 2-7 undead, depending on how you build. Then over the course of the campaign, you tend to add somewhere between 3 and 8 more undead, again, depending on what you choose for your horde.

[@donaldkelly9833]

I don't play any Army Scale games but as a gift my wife bought me the large Nagash model. How hard would it be to adapt the rules to use this very large figure?

[@VinceVenturella]

Oh boy, he's real big. I guess he could just be a really imposing giant skeleton. Depends on what you want to do with him. That is a toughy, for sure.

[@bulldozer360]

This is the most excited ive ever seen vincy

[@HappyDuude]

[@kendo5862]

Wish you all the best in your new venture and looks super cool … though I’ve got to question what that ghoul is doing to the other ghoul at 1:58 … guess undead have needs too! 😂

[@ghostmutton]

Sounds awesome. Congrats on another game.

[@joegkushner]

I'm a subscriber to Knucklebone so I have a discount and being a MMF support another discount. So I now have the Necromancers. My question thus becomes, will you be painting any of the Necromancers up on KZbin?

[@ew1258]

Looks so good! The artwork had me sold instantly! One question, do the cards have artwork?

[@VinceVenturella]

The cards are the text, sadly, we didn't have enough room really to add much in the way of artwork, the back of the non-hero cards has the Deth Wizards simple text art, like the back cover of the book.

[@ew1258]

No worries! I went ahead and ordered the book and PDF combo. And apparently the dark gods have blessed me and smile upon your game because not long after placing the order I checked my mail and behold my miniatures from beQuest miniatures have arrived. They are some old-school styled, metal skeletons and a necromancer!

[@GarryWButler]

As I told Adam, again, you got my money. I have your entire catalog. I'd like to see you do some non-GW stuff focused on minis for your various games. (I know the GW stuff keeps your views up)

[@VinceVenturella]

Yep, the blog post that will go up today highlights LOTS of non-GW miniature producers that make awesome miniatures for this game.

[@JvdUO45nn9s]

OH YEAH!!!!!!!! Love from Germany

[@meltabombed]

Sounds super fun Vince, I just watched the bat rep and your show on Scott's channel. As someone trying to start a campaign for a small group of friends, what would be a good "pool" of heroes you'd suggest? I.e. a wizard, a couple priests, a handful of warriors, etc.? What's a good collection of "core" heroes?

[@VinceVenturella]

We have a blog post on the site with a full list of the absolute max of all heroes you could need. There are 7 hero types, and that is the max, so a few of each will get you going. Check out Dethwizardsgame dot com and check news for the blog.

[@jellysandjamz250]

Just ordered my copy and I stoked to start playing! Is there a reason behind the “monster maker” not getting any unique powers?

[@VinceVenturella]

Yep, it's the legacy most focused directly on its creations, on what they make, rather than the magic. So they have two abilities that reflect that interest.

[@jellysandjamz250]

Looks and sounds awesome - picked up a copy - question about the controllers unique powers. They have 2 (traitorous strike and appropriate undead) but sound like the same thing except for the range. Is that correct? Thanks Vince!

[@VinceVenturella]

Yep, this was a misprint in the book. We will correct the PDF and publish and FAQ, there should be a second unique power. I also posted the corrected text in our discord (which you can join through snarling badger dot com, top left). Apologize for the error.

[@ganzgrosseskino]

This sounds interesting. Looking for a vendor in the EU now.

[@VinceVenturella]

If you go to the website and order, there is actually a printer in the UK, so shipping should be pretty fair. :)

[@ganzgrosseskino]

@@VinceVenturella Ordering from the UK can incur some pretty unreasonable fees these days for customers in the EU. But I will find a source over here somewhere, might just take a bit for shops to pick it up.

[@hll705]

⁠@@ganzgrosseskinoNah. They’re reasonable. Perhaps it’s petty of me, but the UK spent years loudly proclaiming they’re better than the rest of Europe and how we’re just coming over to steal their jobs and live off of benefits. Then they held a vote and decided they were better off without us. Say you don’t want my business or anything to do with me, and I’ll gladly not give you my business and I’ll want nothing to do with you. If the UK changes its mind and wants to be our friend again, preferably with some humility this time, then it’s welcome back. But until then they should be treated like the medium sized regional power they are and expect trade agreements to match.

What's the ratio of card add-on decks to players? 1:1? 1:4? Looking to pick this up for a group of 3-4 players and wondering how many decks would be helpful.

[@VinceVenturella]

Probably 1:2 if you don't mind a little sharing. Ideally, everyone has their own cards to track their minions, and their lairs, but sharing reference on the heroes is probably easy enough.

[@aaron.h.paints]

For the overview video and battle report, I can get to them from the links in the description but I can’t find them published on your channel (or TM’s). Is that intentional?

That is an error for sure. We likely wouldn't update the book, as that takes the book down for 2 weeks, but we will publish an FAQ promptly with the correct information for Traitorous Strike. Unfortunately, no matter how many times we read and edit, something always squeaks through.
