Anyone got that new advert about the women asking the guy about dinner? I wish I got that one when making this.

"Fuck the fans, we like money." God...you're right.

"i'd much rather play dawn of war 3" wow wow calm down dont say brash stuff like that

they literally would not stop trying to get me to play this. so many sponsorship offers. even if GW wasn't total dogshit, I'd still not want to play this garbage.

The line "research new technologies" bothers me so much given that the imperium specifically opposes innovation. Its key to the themes of 40k, and that's what bothers me the most about the ads, is that there's no attempt to make a game true to the lore and appeal of 40k.

Every time I see the ads of these terribly designed adverts for these WH40K games I die a little inside. All we want is a Remaster of the Original Dawn of War 1 series packed into one full game with added races, added campaigns and game modes from the original devs and the mod devs of Unification and Ultimate Apocalypse with a more up to date optimisation and graphic design. More and more with the recent news of Warhammer of removing animations with their IP crap and these ads makes me embarrassed. I Have high hopes for Darktide though, that actually looks fun and well designed with a good dev team to back it up.

This is disgustingly accurate. I'm scared

8:46 is that Tech-priest outraged because the Space marine stabbed his power sword through the Floor of the ship that the Tech-priest worships?

To answer your question about dwarf sentries... They are so exceedingly rare that they are only found at the gates of Karaz-a-karak and Zhufbar, and nowhere else

I’m glad you have so much integrity, refusing ad money is a tough thing to do so yo have a lot o be proud of. Also “This video is sponsored by: Nobody! Get ready for my honest opinion”. Had me in the first half, not gonna lie.

"I will never endorse something that could potentially be harmful to my viewers" That's good. I imagine it to be extremely hard to refuse sponsorship purely out of moral values, but I madly respect people who do it. The interwebs is filled with this crap already, but I'm glad some people still care enough to limit the reach of these ads that might have unhealthy side effects on people.

Ironically, Freeblade is what originally got me into 40k. I found it on a display iPad in Staples years ago, then got it on my phone because I enjoyed playing it. I stopped playing after awhile because I hit the “watch a bunch of ads or give us money to do things” wall. Ironic seeing as now I’m a few hundred dollars into the tabletop game so... good job Freeblade. Good long con.

I kept seeing ads for Lost Crusade after all of the fan animations started getting taken down. I was annoyed at the thought of Games Workshop tearing down well crafted fan creations (free advertising that actually made me interested in their IP), while spamming ads for cheap garbage that was just a reskinned cash grab. Also... that Lost Crusade cinematic is so cheap. You got a Loreal Ultramarine who stabs his weapon into the floor of his drop ship, a Sister of Battle who flips and tricks more often than a skateboarder, cheap stock sound effects that make the already floaty/goofy animations feel even more comedic and eyeroll inducing, and then you have a Chaos Marine who has armor made out of what seems to be cardboard. I just... comparing that (and their newest edition trailer of the Table Top feat. Necrons vs Sisters of Battle) to Astartes or some of the Sodaz animations I've seen, it just makes it come off like they genuinely don't care about the quality/perception of 40k or Fantasy/AoS. It's a shame because they are such cool worlds, but Games Workshop just manage to disappoint and mismanage it. Just saying, fan animations and some of the good games out there (Total War, Dawn of War 1 and 2, Vermintide, Hired Gun) all make me want to read up on the lore of these worlds. These Mobile Games along with their constant ads and god awful trailers just make me sad. Anyway, good video, take my like and stuff.

That Black Templar pet tho

How much money for a full series detailing the shenanigans of GW's corporate management?

I remember seeing the lost crusade trailer and the moment I saw "on the app store" all excitement immediately died and I went "shame"

"Sponsored by no one" was such a breath of fresh air.

"Warhammer 40k: Battlefield" You have no idea how much I want this

"I'd much rather play DOW3" damn.

"We are about protecting out IP" "But also here's some shovelware with our IP attached" 10/10 GW

Everytime you played the non-cinematic ads I felt part of me die. I'll be a husk at the end of the week

the madlad. He asked GW if he could do videos.. and uses their green light to bash on them. Glorious.

Man I am horrified you went and did this to yourself. I peeked into this hole once and it was abominable. This is just awful, really. Screw GW.

Warhammer Odyssey is a pretty standard mmo-lite tbh. I tried it after watching this vid and had none of the issues you had. Repairing wasn't an issue terribly often and I was expecting to struggle at the spider but organically outleveled it by the time I encountered it. I think it's more a matter of play style being the issue. Do agree it would be better suited for PC though, MMO style games on a phone are rough simply because they're typically longer play sessions, which doesn't fit "on the go" as well

"this is Warhammer 40k's first mobile strategy game!" I can name two off the top of my head that came first. Horus heresy: drop assault, and Warhammer 40k: space wolf.

Ya know , Space marine 2 , Mechanicus 2 and Total war Warhammer would be a dream come true for every 40k fan And probably also cure every 40k fan of his depression due to how abusive GW is being right now

"I'd rather play DoW3" wow thats a low blow

I loved the skits and editing in this video, i usually can't bear some skits, keep it up man

The fact the 'That's crazy' clip is not used more often in everything is a crime

9:40 Ah Red Dwarf, I see you are a man of culture!

...That sword in the trailer going through the chaos marine's pauldron but coming out the middle of his chest... kinda uh.... not exactly correct there eh?

Wow, I'm so detested and traumatized by whenever one of those ads are on screen, I instinctively started to tap the skip add button, and I was confused why it wasn't skipping lol

This is actually the first video whose 'intro' I've actually watched. I'm not even kidding, genuinely have skipped almost every one on KZfaq because I find most of them super cringe. This one was a brilliant little parody, set the tone very well. Video was great too, earned yourself my sub!

horus heresy legions is fun. constant free updates, balances patches, new factions and modes. too bad GW doesn't support it or giving it the blessing to use xenos.

This was great mate fantastic stuff.

Love your videos mate, actually really funny

It's a shame you didn't do combat cards, it's the only Warhammer mobile game I think has genuine passion behind it

I find pretty funny how nobody mention how the sister and marine in that cashgrab mobile game trailer are chinese... As if... yaknow, they were targeting a specific market.

You are doing awesome job with those videos :D

This video is pretty good man nice edits and cuts and jokes I can see you moving up on KZfaq keep doing the great work man

Congratulations. You did the most comprehensive, researched, and honest review of Warhammer mobile gaming that will ever be. Hats off to you lad. Just last week another KZfaq streamer I'm subscribed to (starts with "Z", rhymes with "bitch") did a sponsored review of Lost Crusade. I politely informed him that he knew better and should be ashamed. Then I went through the comments and shamelessly plugged your channel. I think I'll head back over there and leave a ton of links to this video. I'm extremely impressed by your performance and channel, and also your support of the community overall. I recommend Vermintide 2 for your next video, but you really need to get to Mordheim. There's...a lot to cover there. It's a game I should absolutely love, but can't. You'll see why.

In your previous video you said that this is going to be a lot of cringe, but, man, this is a really well constructed video with a proper critique of these games as well as some satire about GW Thank you, Poncha, very cool

you are geat man, its easy to see that you put a lot of effort into making these videos, i cant wait to see your chanell blow up.

Beautiful stuff!

"not be prejudicial to the goodwill, reputation or integrity of games workshop" So their new copyright policy is you can't say anything bad about them? How sad is it that, that does not surprise me in the slightest these days..

the only good one is Horus heresy legions, it has some balancing issues but you can make a lot of fun without spending money, you need to grind a bit but its better than Hearthstone since the "arena" tickets come inside lootboxes and there's rewards for being in a lodge and grinding events with the rest of the lodge, and the amount of playable factions is nice

With the announcement of space marine 2 the opening sketch didn’t age to well. But there motto is still true

The way u mentioned Lost Crusade in that way on your last video ending is big brain.

Legion is a surprisingly decent card game, gets a LOT of the flavor right. MY favorite part is how All the primarchs are in the game, and how they work properly. Curze is all about losing himself to his insanity and going stealth. Magnus can keep building magic or break after taking too much damage and going SUPER NOVA with his powers. It's not as randomized as say, Hearthstone, it has a decent meta. You can stay playing without paying, but it will take a good while to get all the cards from your Legion, quite feasible though. Also you can get it on Steam.

About dwarfs sentry gun is actually a old dwarf technology used to fight against elves and demons but during the goblin wars and the skaven wars they became impossible to mas produce but you can create them but unless you are a chad dwarf engenier you might have to pay for them just like mobile games so most dwarfs have girocopters and custom made sentry guns so is kinda rare if you ask the fluff

starting intro was so good

Really funny (and sadly true) vid, and your other content seems interesting too. Subbed!

"Pay to Win" is not pvp exclusive. If you're paying money, and getting gear, stats, or buffs (anything that affects your character) it is pay to win. Be it pve, or pvp, your character benefits from spending cash.

Its such a shame, the trailer is epic and the artists and animators that worked on it should be proud, its upsetting to see it wasted on this shite. Additionally, the in game models, animations, and effects, are also quite great, but the design and mechanics around that brilliant art is a travesty.

I instinctively tried to hit the Skip ad button every time you showed it. Great video btw

That Boris bit was amazing, you have my like!

Concerning Lost Crusade (don't play it!!!), I will leave a comment i left on another Video about it. Feel free to ask questions. (expect delayed answers. Vacations and such ;P) So: I have played it for a few months. For a (short) time period i was the 12th strongest player in our sector. I quit the game. Reason: yes, it is fun at first. and the model design is very appealing. and at first it does not seem to be pay to win. but oh boy. once your battle barge is roughly around lvl 25 stuff gets real. because: no matter how strong you and your alliance are, as long as you are not the so called 'whales', which reserve the top 3 spots, you WILL get F#€ked! our alliance was the third strongest, yet 1 (yes 1!!!) single player wiped out all 65 members of our alliance. all by himself. and the rest got wrecked by the smaller people trying for easy pickings. And once that happens, you get to experience the WEEKS of grind to just get back to your former strenght. during which you basically cant partake in any raids or other missions. Now imagine this happen to you and your friends over and over and over again. and popping a protective shield might become tempting, yes. but they cost real money. so. back to our grind. man, this sucks. every day for weeks on end spending so much time just to keep watch over your ressource collection and building troops. BUT: you can just BUY your army back. now wouldnt that be tempting? ;) that is the point of this game. spend money to skip. you can buy your army back. and also, if you are really stupid with your money, become the strongest in the sector and make other people miserable. top notch 10/10 pay to win Only other good thing about this game is that there are some really awesome people playing it. My alliance members were all awesome. unfortunately due to those problems most of us left at one point or another... PS: just for clarification. yes i spent some money on it. I bought one upgrade that is basically a necessity (additional building queue). Also purchased 1 or 2 additional packs . which still makes me feel disgusted with myself :P

I had (and still have) a lot of fun with Freeblade over the years. There is some P2W in multiplayer, but you can completely ignore the game mode like I do without missing anything, since it is pretty shitty designed to begin with and the rewards are more or less useless for the PvE part.

found your channel yesterday, WOW blown away by the quality for such a reatively small and new channel! amazing work! keep going man

Has anyone else seen the advert for one of the mobile games that's a 40k Rap? Oh, and the dwarf sentry turrets? Basically not a thing beforehand. They had cannons, things that were like the ancient Chinese rocket launchers, mangonels and gyrocopters, but nothing like the things seen here, as far as I remember.

11:40 If this has not been named already, imcristen this new meme Poncha-face.

>what is a freemium game A MISERABLE LITTLE PILE OF MICROTRANSACTIONS

the montage parody throwback at 10:25 got me good

The pax pen you used for the “how high they were” caught my eye because I’m so used to regular wax pens lol

Every time I have to see the ads for this game, a piece of me is dying. GW should really know better to not let the IP grind to a pathetic direction…

Hey, just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos and appreciate the tremendous amount of effort you put into making them.

Didn't see how long the video was so when the skit ended I was surprised to see it was still very early on in the video.

Good vidya. Just shows how creators get more and more professional every single year.

Do more of these! The mobile market is something I never explored, I would love to see your take on the games present on it

First. But seriously love the 40k content, thanks.

You deserve 10x the subscriber count for the quality of your content. Keep it up, brother

the windup toy sound for the techpriest was perfection.

Amazing video, there's more work in it than some channels with millions of subscribers. Keep up the good stuff mate !

I’m so happy you enjoyed Horus Heresy: Legions. The game can be kinda snow bally and there’s a lot of hard counters, but despite all the problems it’s a varied fun game with plenty of nail clutching victories and soul crushing defeats. The balance is pretty good and the devs are fairly quick to nerf degenerate metas, usually. I’m looking at you Khorn’s favor + Garro/Cypher. Edit: Khorn’s favor got nerfed. All is well.

I have a few mobile games I’d like to make with the GW license lol 1. A ‘Vampire Survivors’ type game with Champions from each faction vs. endless waves of other factions 2. A tactics game (in the spirit of WOTV) with a main story that revolves around all the factions and side missions that allow for ‘dream team ups’ 3. A 3rd person 4 player co-op shooter and hero collector with RPG elements, bosses, dungeons, raids and challenges. 4. A 40K ARPG featuring all the factions (not just the Imperium) with offline and online play. If only ya know? Lol

I remember seeing an ad for Lost Crusade where the schmuck on screen says something about needing "A level three factory" and instantly knowing it would be garbage. Factory. Not Factorum; or better yet, Manufactorum? Yeah these guys have no idea what the setting is lmao.

Just got an ad for this game 3:50 the same time you are watching the ad bruh

Have been playing Horus heresy legions for about a year. Have never once spent money on it. I have 30-40 different decks and like 9 primarchs. The game is absolutely not pay to win as you can get most of your preferred factions card just by doing the daily missions and challenges. It’s the best war hammer mobile game currently available and I recommend playing it. Plus it’s always funny when sanguinius suddenly turns into an alpha legionnaire.

Loool :D i was laughting so hard :D great video!! Iam almost fell from my chair at that "froces of Chaos are attacking" moment :D

I literally got an ad for Warhammer lost crusade during this video. I can’t believe my eyes, the ad looked like one of those misleading fake gameplay mafia city ads with a “save your friends?” Prompt. I didn’t think GW could sink any lower

Wow I remember watching you for Evolve back in the day, believe you and Grizzle played been to long since then, anyway you seem to be racking up views recently and extremely happy to see that. Most of the Evolve youtubers have stopped sadly. Even if it's not Evolve I'm glad you're still at youtube.

Talking about mental health issues and mobile games; I asked Google how to hide games with loot boxes and other similar mechanics within the Play Store, explaining that I'm mentally disabled and that these mechanics have been ruled in the UK to be illegal. Google confirmed that they are not willing to add anything to the store that does not benefit Google and that it was my responibility to deal with mechanics that are deliberately targetted at people like me. So I will not be spending any money on any of Google's platforms and said "So long and thanks for all the fish", Google took offense to that last statement (personally I take offence that the staff at Google have never read the Triology of Five, or more commonly known as the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series)

The death moans synced with the beat of the music got me good

new to your channel. and god, i love every video you've done. keep it up bro! much love from swe

I can explain the dawi sentry gun, its from the role playing game! You build small contraptions to defend you! They are canon but not used in the tabletop

Freeblade is pretty cool. i finished the campaign and do multiplayer duels once in a while. took like a year but could have been much faster. i bet you can finish the campaign in 2 or 3 months if you hurry up

Thank you for your sacrifice recording these

Damn that youtube ad algorithm must be working as intended cause I immediately got an ad for lost crusade after lost crusade section finished up for this video

You should have tried drop assault man. It is not anything like lost crusade. It is very similar to bomb beach from supercell, one where you have at least to have common sense and not pay 200$ to destroy everyone. It was actually fun

"If your game has six different currencies, you know it's going to be problematic." Stellaris players: *sweating profusely*

Your sub and view counts are surprisingly low for these amazing vids you make! Look forward to seeing your channel grow! The skit at the beginning was so funny

Now I know the only way to chill in the house is with a space marine helmet and power sword at hand. That bit made the whole video. You have a new subscriber.

"There is no shelter for thoses who use our stuff without permition"

By my standard the best mobile game is *Wild Rift*, because it's a port of League of Legends contained in 20 minutes or so.

Brilliant footage , I couldn't have summed it up better myself .

I initially thought the primaris gimp was just a Photoshop. Then he moved. That now exists in my brain, thaaaaanks.

1:57 did a sister of battle really block, not deflect, but blocked a charging Chaos space marine axe?

Horus Heresy Legions is the best 30k game in existence, I've played for about 3 years and its amazing, too addictive and brilliant to play while listening to books aha

I absolutely fucking love your content man keep up the astonishing work

Incredible video
