Massive shift in Warhammer the Old World events can happen if we try harder!?

[@AlanJoyce-xu6fo]

Thanks for all you do Rob, you really are the unofficial game master of this old world we live in!

[@SquareBasedOldWorld]

Cheers for the support

[@jackcrop]

Thanks for doing a massive part for the community Rob! ❤

[@emcdunna]

Great video! I gotta say I'd be really excited for a "castles" themed event where maybe every game had a watchtower (castle) on it to fight over. It's really interesting in the core rules because you actually have to have infantry units to take and occupy the tower. It's my favorite book mission to play because it gives you a really thematic central objective to play for

[@cactuscoe9096]

that 2d6 guy sounds like he knows a thing or two, you should have him on the podcast

[@JohnnyTightIips]

You got all those rivers painted! well done lad!

[@VoltanIgnatio]

Super event, loved the impact on the game - take note TO's, it was really fun! More please!

[@Chalky62]

I know may not be possible logistically but it would be great if you had an event scheduled really far in advance, 6 months etc as would be easier for us foreigners to plan to come over - looks like great fun

[@SquareBasedOldWorld]

I can sort that

[@lukevassh7740]

Those turned out nice! Good job on the waters. 👊

[@SquareBasedOldWorld]

Cheers

[@HuwgeGrin]

Fantastic idea for an event! This sort of thing is what I've been waiting for to play in Old World events. Some interesting options to shake up the dragon meta and make games a bit more interesting

[@TheNelsonsd]

Looks good fun - would you guys ever consider doing an episode aimed at absolute newbies to both miniature wargaming and the old world? I think because of the audience a lot of old world content assumes knowledge (ie they have played since x edition of fantasy battles or at least dabbled in 40k). Be good to have something aimed at a “blank slate” who has decided their entry point to the hobby is the old world!

[@conornicholson3479]

Amazing video made possible by all the old world TO of the year! And made even better by the amzing comunity that comes event after event! Keep being who you are!! ❤

[@GamesBrained]

Glad to hear the rivers event was a success! It's been fun hearing about it coming together across your various channels for a while, this is like the payoff to a season of television 😂

[@AndrewMcColl]

Those Goblin Green bases are great. They could only be improved with some yellow drybrushed sand on top. Ahh, memories. Those were the days.

[@nurglematthew893]

Watching this as soon as I finish Juggz!!! Luv RIVERS!!

[@earnestwanderer2471]

I like the river. Looks fine. Better than anything I could do, for sure. Always wished I had a place big enough to have a full time 4’x8’ gaming table set up.

[@BretonnianBunnet]

I need to get in on this River business when I get around to making more terrain, might make the hippocampus mount on my Duke/Baron make at least SOME sense. I also need to get my finger out and start painting so I can head down at some point, this all sounds too fun

[@EntropicEcho]

You meant hippopotamus and that's all quite alright, I just had a good chuckle about the idea presented by a duke riding a piece of brain matter. ;)

[@BretonnianBunnet]

​@@EntropicEchoThat's gave me a chuckle as well, but I said what I meant and I meant what I said, sea horse just doesn't sound quite right

[@ginjasteve4435]

It was an amazing fun event

[@SquareBasedOldWorld]

Made better by you

[@DragonHeart1791]

Thank you for the video and for the Square Based Podcast. I'm new to tabletop gaming and the Old World is my first game. My friend got me into it (and the Total War games) and we are both looking to go to an event next year where it will be great to meet you all and have some games. Thanks again, all the best ❤ #StaySquareBased

[@thedome5804]

Looks like Sprite was keeping you going painting all those rivers 🤣

[@lambopaints]

Great event. Highly recommend it.

[@SquareBasedOldWorld]

We agree!

[@ShadowMetroid]

Almost spat ice-cream everywhere when you caught me off guard with the "Jack off". 😂

[@steveh.690]

Awesome! Great video and love the rivers. They looked great, looked like a lot of fun to play. Well done!

[@SquareBasedOldWorld]

Thanks! We're hoping they'll have a huge impact

[@SquallMonger510]

Great idea with the terrain/map pack that is evocative of the lore. Youre right too. the plains of Kislev and forests of Athel Loren play differently. some armies will have a tough time. shoulda pizza'd when you french fried

[@duncan1544]

Love your work Rob. Particularly enjoying this style of video.

[@JaykeHallOfLegends]

2D6 bloke sounds hilarious 🤣 got himself a new subscriber from that interview

[@Rhaenday]

How about an underground tournament? You could have cave in rock falls some artillery dice in from the edges that either end up as blocking terrain or hurt units they land on as a template working like a "shooting attack" would (I thought it would be cool if Evasive units could evade out of taking hits).

[@seanclarke8015]

Question for the community - as someone who last 'played' fantasy as a 13 year old - basically, completely new, would you suggest i turn up to an event to learn the game?

[@jackcrop]

If you can find a more narrative style event they’d probably be perfect!

[@spiritofgroot1999]

Liked and commented for the wood elf army. Awesome

[@SkiSummer]

The king of slapshop strikes again.

[@ClintOrris]

Themed events with special rules is a fun way to balance the game or just add spice to things.

[@teessidetyrants1989]

Looks like a great event. Going to have to try and get to a future event.

[@lestrike2707]

I am on the verge of hosting an event in the south of germany. But it's tough on top of my regular job. maybe early next year. Instead of Rivers I'd add "magical" swamps.

[@jackrogers5712]

Im enjoying being complete gutter trash at the old world. Nobody in my meta even plays dragons, we're all too dumb to take anything good. Infantry blocks are alive and well in my tiny corner

[@J50143]

I don't play but i really enjoy your enthusiasm for this game!

[@noctilithe1008]

Excellent idea ! Nice execution, how much for the STL?

[@totalwar69]

I love these event reports

[@NLoGBB]

Really enjoy this video!

[@SquareBasedOldWorld]

I'm so glad!

[@bigpawz9326]

A good solid castle siege event would be awesome.

[@vincentkilroy1805]

GOAT of the old world

[@steffennilsen2132]

Id love to see a graded stomp AP value, where infantry/cav, monstrous/chariot and behemoths are graded: So that a behemot gets -2 AP vs infantry/cav, -1 vs monstrous/chariot and -0 vs other behemoths. As well as making monsterous with stomp have -1 against infantry/cav. It would be a somewhat soft balancing of dragons as well as making monsterous mounts somewhat more attractive. Also, remove swift stride from flying behemoths, I think this one is a rather common suggestion.

[@gregoryjordan1740]

OMG Rob, did you Slapchop 100 feet of river?

[@SquareBasedOldWorld]

YES

[@JohnnyTightIips]

@@SquareBasedOldWorld 5 pots of blue contrast used, BARGAIN

[@kealyj]

22:04 I think this idea of a “challenge” is something that would work equally well in 40K but the “everything symmetrical!” hyperbalancing mindset pushes away from really interesting events. If players have to really engage with the board, it stops it being the stereotypical autopilot game that it so often becomes (and I say this with love as a big 40K fan).

[@Gryndir]

Is this the long awaited follow up to the slap chop video??

[@jeflax]

Are you going to be releasing or selling the stl files for rivers?

[@FoldingChairJonson]

They remind me of the Armorcast ones.

[@mrsnakesmrnot8499]

All sausage fests should have a good Jack-off. It is nice to see some blokes still bringing ogres and skaven. Great report!

[@PRAISE_HASHUT]

Hi Rob, great to see the tourney scene thriving. Have you got any narrative themed tournaments planned for the future (map based campaigns, mission/story related days etc), I love ToW and would love to bring my Chaos Dwarfs some time, but am worried I’m not very tournament minded and competitive! I’ve been going to the awesome Box of Frogs narrative campaigns and loved them so far! Tom (PRAISE HASHUT)!!

[@Husker44g]

Love the rivers , how they look and adding rules is great. I'm a bit confused how a river prevents flying over it though? I'm all for cool rules but I'm scratching my head on that one,,, river updrafts :) ??

[@jackcrop]

Magic… 😅

[@JohnnyTightIips]

The river is 500ft high

[@jackastbury]

How do we buy said river?

Can't see the link for the river rule missions? Am I blind or can anyone help me 😅
