Did they change the figures that come in the box? I thought that you only got orcs in the starter box

Cool i just found this channel in Infinity group. Very useful video just like I like watching auspex tactic video about warhammer.

Wondering what the release schedule will be of the other factions..as a lot of my local meta seems to be invested in the 1st release.

Questions: 1) You do not get the main rule book in the starter box? 2) I imagine the starting forces are balanced to each other. How does the bear fit in. Can you just replace one of the figures in the box to use him?

Would be cool to see a multiplayer format. Use reinforcement troopers only and it can be up to 4 players. 2v2 or free for all. Have no idea if it could work but sounds fun.

I don’t think it’s a good mechanic. Combat jump and parachutist exists. I don’t know what CB thought they were doing with this “game mode”. I think your suggestion are good. I would like to see missions that make the reinforcement rule make sense. There are obviously scenarios where reinforcements is bordering broken. I scratch my head at the need and reason for the mode. The coordinated order for combat jumping and/or parachute troops arriving is the rule that would make people think about more CJ in army creation and that is interesting.

I plat white company,and IMHO NA2 faction has the worst commlink unit in the entire game:wardriver(unlinkable ,half a hacker,and COMMLINK(0).Why CB,why?),the most BORING,and probably the worst reinforcement list. So no, i refuse to play reinforcement with my army.

I was able scrape with the back of my knife and use 400 grit sanding sponge.

Many tokens? Laughs in Star Wars Legion.

I'm not worried about the dial. Place tokens, move dial. My one complaint is that the plastic pin that holds it together creates a pivot-point that makes it unstable and not lie flat.

I can't decide where I stand on Siocast. My minis have been either excellent (Marut, Nomad Remotes, Caskuda) or annoyingly bad (Vostok, big sword nun lady, bearpode, Hassassin TAG).

Just found this channel! Very helpful thanks

Unless the infantry minis are significantly cheaper than CB metals this is a nonstarter for me. The minis look ok, but I can see the kind of soft deformations and brutal gaps and mold line issues that comes from siocrap. Really hate the material. Thank you for the comprehensive review.

The bear is quickly selling me to this game

Great review. I hope a community for this develops in my area. What game systems would you compare the crunchiness or complexity too?

CB stated that cards will be available online so when they change something you will be able to print new cards. I think that is a good solution as it will not happen that often and everyone out there even without a printer can find a good print shop (even online) that will print cards in good quality and not expensive at all. I laughed when you used an Orc miniature to compare to a human from Infinity and stated it is quite larger... why not human to human? lol that would show the actual size difference.

Does it inject any sort of political agenda into the game?

At 5:12 you have it backwards. 250/10 > 300/15. I enjoyed the faster games, although some missions were incompatible.

The models are a pretty big concern, I’ve had horrible experiences with Knight Models which use the same material and all the problems they’ve had are the same you referenced here. I’m excited for the game but the siocast is definitely a bit of a disappointment in my opinion

For Siocast instead of using metal files use a very fine grain sanding stick. The material of Siocast is a Nylon based thermoplastic which has a very high melting point and becomes fibrous if you hit it with a metal file. It behaves a bit like the material of your fingernails so using the same sort of tools as you would to do your nails, namely sanding with high grit sandpaper will give you good results.

From what you said it seems like the battle systems terrain is smaller?

WHAT DO YOU KNOW?!

Cannot wait to get my set. I am so excited

I love how you thought out changes that would make the game mode more cinematic and Infinity-esque. I would love to give these changes a shot and be able to provide play-tested experience. Thank you for your time and thoughts on this!

This just came on my radar, but I am not really seeing anything. Here all the stores push games workshop. why are you excited?

It's a skirmish game that wants you to build up to 20+ figures for a standard game?

BF should move away from these books and go digital, i still have books from 2nd and 3rd. what a waste, they also did this in 3rd they did the same thing, small supplements and then a big book with all the supplements in it

The landing coordinated order type mechanic is great, but the wip roll sounds like it will lead to a lot of NPE. My opponent gets 100 point advantage for a whole extra turn or two because of a dice roll I can't do much to impact? Much as I'm not a fan of point counting, I think it works better than this.

I’ve been to two major Reinforcement tourneys. But not this year in 2024.

I think the Reinforcements rule has potential but does need a lot of work to make it a viable option for players to use. One of the main issues at the moment is that there's no option to play a Reinforcement list against a non-reinforcement list which is something that would add tactical depth to games. Personally I'd make some of the changes you suggest however I'd alter the following: Reinforcement units drop at the start of your 1st turn if you have lost 100 points of your army list OR automatically at he start of your 2nd turn. This means a player who goes 2nd and gets hammered by their opponent can still get a decent 1st turn with the addition of their reinforcements to their army, which is sort of how the mode is supposed to work IMHO. Dropping automatically at the start of the 2nd turn means the units will get some use before the 3rd turn by both players and solves the other main issue with reinforcements which is that they can score objectives in some missions basically uncontested. Reinforcements drop in the ZOC of the Comlink unit if they are active, if not they drop within the players deployment zone. This increases the functionality of the Comlink unit and potentiality allows for interesting tactical deployment if you can move the Comlink up the table and keep them active until the start of your 2nd turn. It would force your opponent to concentrate on taking out the Comlink unit if they want to avoid Reinforcement units deploying in a tactically advantageous position but would also mean that you force your opponent to divert resources to doing this and not getting mission objectives which is a tactic all of its own. Reinforcements acting as a coordinated order is very interesting but I think the only reason this isn't already a thing is because their deployment happens before the actual start of the turn and units aren't normally allowed to ARO outside of the turn phase as it causes all sorts of problems with the other things that happen in these phases. There's a workable idea there but it might mean restructuring how turn phases work. I think we might see a re-work of the Reinforcements rule in a 5th Edition if and when that becomes a thing.

Good ideas! Might play with these rules soon!

You suggestions are interesting, but your suggestion around switching the point counting to a WIP roll seem to realy strengthen the first player, since if he can assassinate either the other guy's lieutenant or his commlink, he will greatly diminish his ability to call in reinforcements.

Please adjust the volume of your pre-stream music to that of your actual stream volume. The pre-stream music is deafening.

Nice paint jobs but unless I see real models and not computer renders or someone that could have painted the details on, I’m not likely to try this. It’s appalling how many miniature companies bait and switch with the aid of computer renders or hiring a talented painter. If they had proper confidence on their quality, they would post pictures of the raw models imho.

Hating this, colourblind friends can't play because of these dice, and a warcrow is going on a defensive spurt trying to say that people without colourblindness can't raise the issue. It's left me with a horrible view of corvus belli. It's a shame, loved infinity.

Battle system wont be too small for Warcrow?

The Infinity rules system never clicked for me, I'm worried it might be the same here.

This gave me a great idea about how warcrow will be like to play. Thanks for the clear overview. Excited to get started now!

There’s an annoying hiss on your microphone which makes this hard to listen to.

Painting my Bucklermen as I listen to this! 😊

Glad to have found this video! I was just looking for a FoW video to listen to while painting my German tanks and didn't even realize the D-Day book had hit the shelves (I have soooo many models to paint)... Great review and thanks for covering the additional units!

Uh god all siocast what a disgrace! Especially considering the price… But well no point in complaining at least the main box I’ll get anyway assuming everything else is gonna be metal.
