Necromunda Underhive - Cracking Unboxing

Once more the tolling of the Unboxing Bell. Once more the raising of the knife.
Once more the slashing of the spittle veil as the Bard returns to life.

BardicBroadacst's unboxings are the only unboxings worth watching

[@Jesse__H]

amen.

[@DrVicVonDoom]

They are cracking

[@corydismuke9231]

It's the passion he has for it :D

[@baubleBeee]

Ikr he has the same energy as one of those wizard t-shirts

[@sasha-01]

Lol true just discovered this!!

[@partthethird]

The Bard lives! Also, that knife flip though.

[@bakol.a.7616]

that goddamn knife flip woah

[@mb-tt9hd]

I was scared for his fingers.

[@kingofthehamsters]

I bet this guy is an amazing DM.

[@darthkek1953]

He plays an unhinged, growling wizard brilliantly. He plays an unhinged, growling dwarf brilliantly. Turns out his Paladins are also unhinged and growl a lot. So do his maidens, shopkeeps, and his Gelatinous Cubes.

[@jamesbondcanfuckoff]

Well said

@@darthkek1953 So basically you are saying he makes a great dm.

[@ricardoblikman2676]

[@kyle1847]

This is easily the most underrated channel in all the lands of KZbin.

[@MosoKaiser]

Verily! With content unequalled in all the realm.

[@TableTopTransformer]

The best thing about this channel?

[@dwarfwithattitude1723]

HEROQUEST!

[@Dontcarewillneveruse]

That first knife flip.... Beautiful

[@AdamNodwell]

time stamp pls

[@AdamNodwell]

omg its fantastic!

[@TheDanny1872]

Did anyone else just shout YESSSSS at the top of their voice when they got the notification of a bard video? 😂

[@LordVader1094]

I most certainly did!

[@a.binderup922]

I clicked the thumbnail immediately.

[@summonersumnerus4364]

I said ' Bloody hell! He's back!'

[@reverenddmo8944]

I went with "Bugger me, it's the Bard!" Thankfully there was no-one around to point out the wealth of innapropriate humour to be had from a priest saying this. Though what would a week be without another threat of Excommunication...

[@Mankej]

I said "Ooooooooo" :O

...*laughs*

[@eftyextenebra1837]

"I bet it pans into extra spending" no truer words have ever been spoken in a GW product review...

[@ZeWrAtH]

[@W4ldgeist]

Seconded!

[@GrilloTheFlightless]

Fourthded....is that a word?

[@thisisbullshit6visix]

Well, hell, I guess I have to be the one who sixthded this.

[@ta5672003]

Seventhed !!

[@StripezTheBeast]

Dude you ooze charisma. Never heard of a max charisma dwarf build before. Excellent video!

[@francescospuntarelli7369]

Supercharisma dwarf paladin of Clangeddin Silverbeard.... a powerplay char from Dragon magazine

[@Koshiro2k3]

He took a prestige class that allows him to use Int for all Cha-related checks. ... and also to add beard length in inches as an unclassed bonus.

[@Gam3B0y23r0]

hahaha agreed )) he's really rare

[@W4ldgeist]

You got it all wrong. Dwarves don't need charisma, they are meta-max-charisma at birth. A special feature of dwarves. And barbarians. Broadsword.

[@clon1122]

The best thing about BardicBroadcast is the everything.

[@Captain1nsaneo]

Totally agree with your take on the lore. Or as Tolkien said: "Part of the attraction of the L.R. is, I think, due to the glimpses of a large history in the background: an attraction like that of viewing far off an unvisited island, or seeing the towers of a distant city gleaming in a sunlit mist. To go there is to destroy the magic, unless new unattainable vistas are again revealed. "

[@BardicBroadcasts]

Sage words eternal.

[@chiefs2pretty4radio]

The magic is within the mystery.

[@Jesse__H]

This is true of so much in real life too. "Never meet your heroes" they say. "Fear of the unknown" is the strongest, or even "fear itself!"

[@eduardgaju2825]

I never heard of this game ever, I don't even play table top games to begin with. I'm here just for the crazed wizard

[@Jesse__H]

He returns to us now at the turn of the tide...Bard The White...we thought we'd lost you ❤

[@Spekd]

Your power of unboxing is so strong that I just (30 secondes before this video) thought about that "best thing about heroquest" video. -*EPIC*

[@francescospuntarelli7369]

Me too.... but the best thing about necromunda is...... is.... Heroquest

[@Spekd]

@@francescospuntarelli7369 hahaha this wins the internet today. Thank you!

[@ChainsawDunDeez]

Spekd* ...ha...yeah that Hero Quest video was epic...got me to subscribe...loved playing that game with my cousin as kids/ tweens..we even made up our own games and rules...

[@Spekd]

@@ChainsawDunDeez i got my hands on it when i hit 12 ish me and my brothers played HQ everyday for a good few years. the bars has some awesome unboxings and reboxings ☺

[@alexblackmore7744]

Genuinely the funniest video on KZbin, and by quite a margin.

[@thegoodlifeonlybettr]

"Don't you betray me, Weather! I see you up there!" I'm stealing that line.

Holy shit! A new Bardic Broadcast? And it's about Necromunda? Christmas has come early! Glad you're back dude.

[@scottinbristol]

The finest present I shall receive this Yule!

[@reddeashadow]

Never stop. Please

[@MrBombphoon]

Death, injury, and something else. The three states of man.

[@JayTee78NIN]

I have found the greatest channel on KZbin. This guy should be a famous and worth millions for these videos.

[@kroggy8463]

By Grimnir, a new video!

[@SwineofWar]

And so the bardic lands were once again filled with festive cheer.

[@samacvuk]

the man is back, truly heroes return in dark times.

[@francescospuntarelli7369]

Just like in David Gemmel's books

[@Urathamax]

I love your insights. You've clearly got a deep appreciation for all aspects of the medium; from the artwork, to the mechanics, to the written descriptions in the manual. You can wade through the minutiae and really grab at the essence of the thing. Your comedic presentation / styling is just icing on the cake. Keep up the great work! 👍

[@BardicBroadcasts]

Thank you very much :)

[@solodragun]

Exactly this. Well said. Love his voice, extensive knowledgeable insight, and absolutely hilarious presentation.

[@FairRarity]

D&D with you HAS to be a total blast. I bet your presence inspires the peak of all role-playing from the entire table

[@Schwermetalloer]

Upon seeing the knife flip in the beginning of the video, i am now convinced the this man is as dangerous as they come...

[@NeptraK]

Schwermetalloer seriously! I rewound the video to make sure I saw what I thought I saw

[@TheBoomamatic]

THE GREAT BEARDED BARD LIVES!

[@Matrim42]

Well, yeah. Dwarves can live several centuries

[@andresk4694]

Love your suggested approach for enhanching the Necromunda setting

[@uncletedscabin4625]

The smooth flick of the knife tells you that this, truly, is a bard of easy and casual unboxing.

[@jameshill2450]

There's no musCULARIty at all on that new cover.

[@bat353]

This is one of the best channels i have found in years.

[@Matrxmonky]

The Hero Quest unboxing is quite possibly one of the finest things on YT.

[@Vorpal_Wit]

you are the greatest of "unboxers". That critique of the lore at the end is spot on.

[@Reavoux]

My Dear Bardic Dwarf, It is with quill in hand that I pen this diabolic-digital letter to let you know of your importance in the world of mystics and magics! Your feed has come across my pitiful wondering eye and is revealed as the peak of information and detailed description for all things fantastical. Thank you for the depth and insightfulness of descriptions that you provide, and depths that you dive to bring such detailed descriptions of worlds dreamed of and desired! Thank you for your tireless devotion to the ancient craft of wonderment and dreams! Thank you for your pitiless presentations of admiration and lucidification! Thank you for your energy and tirelessness describing and critiquing various things unknown (and thanks to you! NOW known!) in the realms of the mind and admiration! You, most prestigious Sir, are appreciated! Yours, and now subscriber, The Giant Berserker

[@BardicBroadcasts]

Ahh, tally ho! Thank you very much. It does me good to know that I am favored in the realms of the berserkers!

[@zoesdada8923]

I thought to never see another crrrrrrracking unboxing! The gods have been kind this day.

[@tommylight1312]

By the Dwarf Lord's!! You're not dead.

[@al6954]

The world need more cracking unboxing, no matter what it is about.

[@pinkyunddasbrain]

This is the best channel on YT. I'd totally throw down on a Patreon for it.

[@jaredw.7712]

[@juanc.3372]

[@bsharitt]

I've discovered why the bard doesn't post more videos, he knows we'll keep coming back to watch the old videos over and over again because we need too once we get a taste of the bard.

[@MoonlitWood]

I really like that you couldn't hold that bark of laughter in before the first cut but still left a bit of it in.

[@howieb4217]

The best thing about new Necromunda is this video! Great stuff!

[@matthill5426]

Damn. Knife skills like that...This man knows his way around a box!

[@justinhsu3762]

Calls it "Unboxing". Is a literary essay instead. I am in awe.

[@mrsquid1985]

Hands down the best CRaacccking unboxings on the deep, dank, deceivious, depths of the interwebs, I say!

[@ShadowFox178]

I say this is a fair criticism and I've actually asked the design team behind Necromunda to get more gritty details, however... they believe their audience doesn't want this and only wants to be sold the 'war'. I disagree with that as 40K to me is this vast epic struggle and a struggle of what it is to be human itself with a great deal of hypocrisy and confusion as you rightly say. However apart of the magic that is 40K is it's open source take, where it encourages players to insert there own stories into this universe. One of the best writers for 40K came into the hobby like many others and has added to the universe. (I want to say his name is Guy Hayley but my memory isnt good these days). I guess we have to prove to GW that the universe we love and importantly what we want to see in there works. I do see House Escher being haughty though and using a high got hic slang, as to mock those they believe to be below them and also ironically mocking those hive spire nobles who themselves look down from there towers. Good to see you back again Bard and hope to see you cover more of the GW influx of goodies, wallet permitted of course.

[@BardicBroadcasts]

There is merit in your sentiments. I can understand, to a point, the position of the game's developers; however, I am not sure we need to be sold the same war over and over. The underhive offers a distinct kind of battlefield - far from any other in the Warhammer 40,000 setting. It is a shame that GW's eyes are always fixed to galactic affairs.

[@ShadowFox178]

BardicBroadcasts Yes that was the creative director of Necromunda I spoke to briefly, he just believed people wouldn't be interested in that aspect; he was also a person who wanted to revitalise Necromunda as he plays the game regularly, so his creative input may have skewed things that way, in seeing things differently. I was asking him about if we could get more civilian inspired terrain and vehicles, like I want to see a human shanty town type thing and how the Imperiums symbols would get treated or if they would be treated with anything other than mild curiosity. I would like to imagine things like a cobbled together home in the underhive that has these symbols built into it for convenience or simple need. I thought it would be poetic in a way. Like could you imagine rat burgers being cooked over an aquila simply because it was just a handy bit of metal that could be used. Because in between all the gang warfare there will be those mutants, heretics and degenerated humans all striving to survive. As you say a missed opportunity.

[@Glaaki13]

well some of the old sentiments have been wiped away, by what I think is Trends/sales, and Iv talked to some of my friends about the lore getting worse and worse- ex back in the days the Imperium of man was shown to be an evil fascist one and we all knew there were no nice guys in 40k now the writers forget the that, because of needing a good guy

[@ShadowFox178]

Glaaki13 That was Rogue Trader when it was first being created. It's evolved a lot since then and the imperium of Man is a very complex domain made up of a million world's. The lore is great it's not getting worse, it's focused on creating more factions and paying homage to established cannon. And the Dark Imperium book is fantastic imo.

[@Glaaki13]

@@ShadowFox178 lol let agree to disagree the BL horus hersy books are for me really bad but i did read 20 of them lol -im not that much in to the new 40k and im hearing a lot of critics but mostly from SM fans and as im a none chaos or imperium fan I dont know

GW: 'We used to have this great game where you were in a gang in the underhive and everyone loved it so we stopped making it but brought it back years later but we'd made it rubbish and really expensive so no one bought it. Then we had this really great game where you could have battles with huge armies and massive warmachines and people loved it and said it was the best ruleset we ever put out AND it was super affordable so everyone could easily have an army so we stopped making it but brought it back years later but we stripped out everything that made it so cool and now you have to sell a kidney for a tiny army so nobody buys it. THEN we had this one game that people really REALLY loved, it was the foundation of our company and its name became a byword for the hobby of wargaming itself, people played it for decades and many hardcore fantasy fans swore it was at its core one of the best fantasy settings ever devised, so of course we literally blew it up and Trotsky'd the entire thing and replaced it with something derived from the people who'd ripped US off in the first place except even worse and instead of skeletons you have deathrattlers and instead of elves you have Aelvz but in a couple of years we're going to bring it back but this time we'll be able to put all of our poorly thought out Nounverb Verbnouners into their beloved setting.
