Let's Play! - STARGRAVE by Osprey Games

[@Phoenikuz]

Are we all just going to ignore the fact that Owen brought a Dreadnought to a knife fight? It's just standing there, being all menacing... waiting...

[@BrisCassa]

Came for the stargrave, hung around for the rogue trader game that threatened to break out

[@housecaldwell]

First two minutes: Ash explains why WH40K used to be awesome. :D I'm going to try to work the phrase "back when it was less demony" into casual conversation now.

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

It was more Reavery and less Demony :)

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

And Skyboards!

[@housecaldwell]

@@GuerrillaMiniatureGames Yes! And punk. And space marines hanging out at the cantina.

[@livanbard]

even if you like the demony stuff realms of chaos was in that era you know. and its still better than any chaos stuff since

[@Aconspiracyofravens1]

honestly I just wish the space marines where mostly chaos and the guard had to deal with em’ (would be nice if they also develloped the minor chaps gods to go along with them)

[@johntailby74]

That looked exactly like what I expected. Two very different approaches to gangs. While 5 chaos space marines might sound powerful they would cost 250 per game to run.

[@cheetor_sho3box]

That looked like a game result that wasn't preordained in the army list stage, that played pretty fast and that had a lot of thematic bells and whistles: my ideal game in other words. I'm looking forward to more GMG Stargrave.

[@Dimes607]

This is what I hoping killteam was gonna be more like.

Awesome stuff. Love the old minis, with those classic looks. Feels like an old Paul Bonner drawing.

[@euansmith3699]

That was great fun; especially the wave of renegades turning up to investigate the commotion, and driving Owen's Chaos Crew out of town.

[@DarkKnightCuron]

Super excited for this game, already got some space dwarves and lizardmen on the way for this game

[@maxxon99]

I love those mission generator tables from Rogue Trader! It's not 40K unless it has Abdul Goldberg!!

[@napoleon6071]

I can hardily contain my excitement.... so excited!

[@battlemind]

Cool. I might have to look into this game after all - you made it look like a lot of fun!

[@kaibe5241]

God I miss miniatures like that. It's one reason I love Relicblade - so much character in the miniatures themselves. Privateer Press still hits that note, sometimes.

[@nrais76]

See, this makes it look a lot more fun than the batrep I had seen previously on another channel. The idea is growing on me, especially with the low cost of entry (particularly because I don't have to buy new minis - but we all know I will, especially with the cross-compatibility amongst North Star's other kits, I will probably spend ridiculous sums).

[@Onionkid99]

So great seeing these old models. I look forward to seeing the Styrofoam balls with toothpicks in them make an appearance!

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

Those will be for 2nd Edition! Rogue Trader was all about the Lichen and Zoids! :D

[@Phoenikuz]

@@GuerrillaMiniatureGames So... when will we see the dreaded Zoidlichen then?!

[@erasenegatedelete]

Hahahah YES!!! And some painted cardboard toilet paper rolls with straws glued to them as industrial cooling tanks

[@nrais76]

And a zoat! And Slaan warbands! And the kidney bean dreadnought, or can't you use a robot that big? Original terminators.... I think one went at auction recently for £2,000. I actually still have my Rogue Trader assassin, and a space marine chaplain with bolt pistol and chainsword. (I use him as an Inquisitor now, and on very rare occasions I get out 'Snake Eyes' and field him as whichever one I feel like.) Wish I could find my Imperial Army jetbike...

[@richardsongames8508]

Lovely, lovely rogue trader warband, Ash! Thanks for the great video. I'm going to pick up Stargrave once it's out.

[@Kevin.Mitchell]

Fantastic! So excited to give this a go next week - got everything painted up already, which is a first for me with a new ruleset. I'm sure I'll discover that I actually need to buy a bunch more stuff mind...

[@leechmilyfe4]

I see Owen with the multiple Starship Troopers references. So Starship Troopers Miniatures game when?

The most dangerous prey of all...Barry the Wizard🤣 Love it👌 I had a Zombie figure in 1st edition Necromunda called Clive the Zombie😂

[@johnkidby7948]

On this episode: can Owen munchkin another Joe McCullough game into oblivion?

[@johntailby74]

I don't think Owen Munchkins games, (whatever that is). He picks things that game designers have allowed for in their game design. Staking combat buffs on your wizard is still a relatively good strategy although nothing stops you dying to a crit like happened to my wizard recently.

[@johnkidby7948]

@@johntailby74 Trying to do the most optimized thing the rules allow for is pretty much the definition of munchkinry. (Going outside the rules isn't being a munchkin, it's cheating.) For what it's worth I don't think munchkins are inherently bad; they're great at stress-testing systems, for one thing. But based on what I've seen, Owen very much qualifies as one.

Does the core book include solo rules?

I'm trying to find a copy of Rogue Trader, actually. My kids want to play it. Probably all of once. My copy had super glue spilled on a page, it looks like, and closed on that.... the only casualties were the page on reserve moves and the page on psychology directly across from it. Although I can still read most of the psychology page. Brother Vermillion? The guy getting blown away by Sister Sin? Hey, does anyone know the name of the Space Marine Chaplain that was featured in the Space War combat cards? Mine have gone missing, I remember it was Brother Reuben something. I'm recreating him. Have all the bits to do it (over the years the SM01 boxes have gotten mixed around, lost, found, repainted, etc.) except I'm trying to find a book the right size.

I am confused. I thought this was supposed to be SciFi, why is there a wizard? Is this just fantasy with guns or am I missing something? I get that they can play the same, but I'm not sure what stargrave is now.

[@Haloister]

Specifically how they chose to "flavor" the abilities the "Wizard" has since they're using 40k as the base setting for it since Star Grave could be put into any they feel like. And 40k is sci-fi, bit there's some strange magic type stuff still going on.

[@manofaction1807]

It's Rogue Trader... But it's not... o.O

[@ellesse3862]

That green clad veteran is actually an Imperial Guard Commissar that came in a pack of three, not a chaplain.. but you know that.. was this a test to see if we're paying attention? .. nice try Ash.

Says Chaplain on his Tab lol... I’ve got Commissars from the same era that say so! It’s just a term relic really but this fella is from when things like that would change all the time.

[@oldschoolfrp2326]

You’re both right of course - Mark Copplestone made a couple of figures originally labeled “Chaplain” that became the first commissars without changing the tabs
