I'm not usually a fan of unboxing videos because I want to open stuff too but the genuine glee you showed made it worthwhile. Very cool minis and game, thanks for sharing what could have also been anthrax (never thought I'd type the string of words "thanks for sharing what could have also been anthrax").

[@DiscourseMinis]

that's awesome to hear - and I'm very glad that it wasn't anthrax

[@hogs0war]

@@DiscourseMinis Me too! Where else would I get good info to help form my opinion on war gaming from a person who wants WH/40K to be sooo good but dislikes GW openly?

[@DanielSwindlehurst]

Having it be both a squad game and a skirmish game is such a good idea. I'm a little taken aback by that. Just one rule set for any size game - it's so simple.

[@slackeratlarge575]

With GW increasing prices almost 20% since 2019, other war games are always welcomed

[@Anacusis]

Kinda funny that one of your recent vids was a room of boxes full of games and minis that you’re never gonna paint or play with and these guys thought “Oh! She probably needs more!” 😂

[@mikewhitaker2880]

that's the thing though, we ALWAYS need more models... i personally would LOVE to have my Space Marines army to have LITERALLY enough figs to field an ENTIRE legion.. and i don't mean the current 1000 maxed out second founding limits, i mean the legion sizes of 100,000 or more Space Marines as it was before the Horus Heresy.... that is a lot of plastic/resin/metal... specially when you also add in ALL of the vehicles they would have had... and we haven't even mentioned ALL the guard and titan support units either... imagine having literally enough figs for an ENTIRE crusade fleet....

I'm going to the Games Expo in Brum again this year, if War on Terra is there I'm 100% picking up some flying saucers! 👽

[@evanlindsey1100]

I never played any of the Command and Conquer games, so when the tank was revealed, I thought of the Transformers Headmaster Hardhead, who was an 'H' tread tank. Still, the joy you expressed when you were checking out the tape measure brought a smile to my face.

[@sarchlalaith8836]

"greys" definitely giving me XCOM vibes though

[@BlindRambler]

What makes this so much better is the recent admission that Discourse has a Mini's problem

[@kdog3908]

More stuff to add to the pile of shame..... You have my sympathy.

[@magnusmillerwilson]

The production value on that is gorgeous! I’ll definitely check it out. It’s also super cool that they sent that to you. Bold choice and kudos to them and you. I like the info cards. I prefer having all the rules for a unit on a card when playing a war game and even make my own cards when rules are simpler. Anyway, good on all of you and looking forward to this!

[@MrTreoni]

I agree, there's not enough squishing fleshy bits with some vehicular slaughter... in games of course! Also I want to see how much progress you made on reducing your grey pile of shame :)

Discourse, "Um, well... that's... unexpected... A box full of ears." I enjoyed seeing Discourse getting excited over the real nerdy parts of the package; though she didn't comment on the quality of the box, which is a tick in my Review of the Review minus column.
