Thanks for the reviews! Curious about your multi-player group. We have just started getting into Frostgrave and usually have three-player games. This makes the games super long (I'm talking like 5 hours or more) and deployment is difficult (feels like we should be using a hexagonal map). What size maps does your group play on? What do you do to manage game length?

Oh, the memories... Such good times.

Hell yeah! So stoked that ya'll threw down for the challenge!

would be nice to see the lists in question on the screen

Thanks for putting so much time and analysis into your discussions. Your Frostgrave content is very helpful for a new Frostgrave player like myself.

Great work

Great work

I think Blink can be used to pop a a friendly out of combat like you said, but also maybe tumble an enemy off a tower or narrow walkway if you don't have Push? Still very very niche though

All of the balance options are fixed by the 1st edition rules with no specialist soldiers limiting player options

For Summoner I really like to go with Posess + animal companion ^^ the fear a possed bear or snow leopard can cause is funny

A Sigilist was my first wizard I ever made. I made it it back in 1E and I can attest that being able to cast any spell you know off a scroll is incredibly powerful. He has long since retired, but his warband was flush with cash and never had any problems casting what they needed

Sadly, I am not hearing any audio on this video.

yaktribe was yakromunda at one point my best guess is becuse they supported gorkamorka too they added the tribe to it

Love the Frostgrave content 👌

Brandon, you had nothing but demons around you yesterday... Everywhere... Yesterday... control makes sense.

Hi guys, I just finished listening to the whole Frostgrave 101 series on spotify :) I listened to it while painting my minis and terrain (your recent episode on the difficulty to get into miniatures wargames because of terrain building was spot on too!) and all the hours spent listening to your analysis, spells tier list etc was very exciting and helped me get the game easier and understand it for my first few games. Thank you for your work and your investment, I had a blast and you were really helpful.

Curious why familiar isn’t in the list?

Just found this. Love the frostgrave cintent. Keep it up

Not to be that pedantic guy, but the word to describe fighting is pronounced "may lay" not "malee".

A little more planning for your discussions would be a bit better. First 8 minutes are a bit frustrating

I love the energy that you guys bring to your conversations but you are so scattered about details and how to organize your thoughts its hard not to get flustered.. when you guys do these videos it feels like you can't be bothered to read up before you turn on your mikes. Honestly I wish you had gone over the school pre and post Fireheart, construct familiar is insanly good for any offensive casters.

Good discussion! I'm playing an Enchanter right now, and went with Animate Construct, Enchant Weapon, and Grenade as my native spells. My minis are all Mage Knight dwarves with kind of a steampunk look, so I'm really going for theme rather than an optimum build. I just want my little guys with wrenches and hammers to build a bunch of bots! When Fireheart came out, I was able to turn a couple of thugs into Tinkerers for the bonus on Animate Construct. Once I have a nice stable of bots, I'll pick up a Scrounger and start doing modifications. My other starting spells were: Push - We have a lot of vertical terrain, so there are some good opportunites to use Push offensively by pushing guys UP and letting them drop. :) Fog and Call Storm - Since I'm not shooting, I want to clog up LOS for those who are. Heal - Bit of a nonbo with constructs, but it's mostly for keeping my spellcasters alive. Deflect - This is a Reaction spell from Into the Breeding Pits. It's there to throw some of my son's Elemental Bolts back in his face. :D So far, the MVP has been Grenade. A successful cast can really swing an entire game - I've taken THREE guys out with one spell.

Love this series! Thanks

I love hidden objective cards. It helps make the game more interesting and less 1v1 PvP competive type game. I know im not analytical enough to be competitive so i need less competitive games

I walked away from 40k because of price. It became a rich man's game I couldn't keep up with. Osprey Games and This Is Not A Test filled that void

Thanks!! Very interesting

BAT REP!

Why is this video 90% watching some dude listening to someone else talk off camera?

Really enjoy your channel. What other episodes do you have planed?

Just found your podcast, looking forward to checking out past episodes. You should do an episode on Age of Fantasy skirmish with the newest update with more balanced army lists.

Love Malifaux, glad to see someone actually talking about it

Just to add by way of update- the OPR army builder (using army lists V2.5) for firefight addresses some of the points you made about ease of reference- it will generate a single clear page with all of your units, stats and all the special rules that relate to those units. Very elegant, I reckon. Was trying to get into Killteam, and when I discovered these rules the whole process was made so much easier and fun. The optional rules in the paid version mean the game can be customised up into a fairly good approximation of Killteam, and indeed, have scope which increases its potential beyond that. Campaign rules are also free and well worth a look.

As someone that has been playing Malifaux since 1st ed, balance tends to be faction to faction and not really master to master. As it's an objective based game, Masters tend to be specialized for specific Strat/Scheme combinations. I personally like the cheat hand mitigation as it does allow to overcome potential bad luck, but still allows an opponent to answer back accordingly. Malifaux strikes me as a game that has not been 'solved'. There isn't a best overall that everyone takes. It's really up to you and how you want to build your crew to tackle a specific situation. As you covered, the app (army builder) is one of the best I've ever seen. Not only does it keep you up to date with Errata changes, but it also allows you to run a complete game between you and your opponent. It allows you to track in game conditions, wounds, and allows you to view your opponents models at any time. If you haven't tried to run a game in app...definitely give it a try. Sorry for the long post, but I love this game...Happy to see more people picking it up :)!!!

Right!

I'm fed up with paying out my butt to be a GW play tester... you need to get the full opr rulebook with options. It's a bit more generic for the sake of stream lining and balance but what a breath of fresh air without GW bad rules writing, editing and book spread... I don't know if OPR is for the competitive player but if you play GW competitively I've got news for you lol. OPR Grim Dark Future and Firefight are definitely superior for the narrative and casual player who's not looking for boring Army list spam and 3 unit army deathstars that contain the newest hottest model that GW has decided to push and sell

Your main complaint seems to be related to hidden information and having "tricks" up your sleeve. If you buy the paid version of the rules (or join the Patreon), there are several optional rules that add those sort of things and more depth. Definitely worth checking out.

what do you mean you dont like paying 50$ for rules, and then 50$ for a compendium to play kill teams that haven't been tested at all, only for the factions in that 50$ book to become immediately outdated a month later by a 20$ magazine every single month for every kill team in the compendium, potentially making some of your models already useless???? dont you have infinite money to keep buying GW products?????? better buy those DATA CARDS before they become outdated a week later by errata and faq that arent advertised anywhere! shitty fkn company

early bird get the worm, but the second mouse get the cheese

Would love to see your opinions after extensive play with the rules. First impressions are cool, but real play experience opinions are gold in this sea of first impression videos we have in youtube.

Oh boy, i discovered One Page Rules recently, it is sooooo good! Wish i knew about it earlier!

50 dollar book to playtest armies.

omg I lovelovelove ur awesom amazign volomtuous swaggy podcast/videos/intro/everything/iloveyou/alanwong. Please post more so I can become professional minatures gamer like you <333 ~videogamergurlbunny2682uwu

Would you put Soulsborne Series into the Grim Dark genre ?

People love to live in Star War and Star Trek but don’t even want to visit 40K. Love me some grim dark at a distance like light years!

You're overrating flamethrowers, at least on the Burner soldier. Short range, Move 5 and a mediocre Shoot +2 really limits their effectiveness. Giving an officer a flamethrower for (with experience) a potential Move 7, Shoot +6 is another story - but that's a lot of experience and 3 gear slots, 5 with combat armor, 4 with heavy or light armor but both of those would drop you to max Move 6. Putting a powerful gun on an officer also encourages you to spend actions shooting instead of using powers, which is not always going to be the best idea even when you do reach Shoot +6. Multiple smoke grenade soldiers aren't as mandatory you're making them out to be. Both the Holographic Wall and Wall of Force powers are fine alternatives and don't occupy any of your precious Specialist slots, and of course your officers can carry grenades as well, with or without a launcher. Putting up a wall instead of chucking a smoke grenade will earn you XP as well, albeit at a small strain cost. There's nothing wrong with the Grenadier, but they're likely to be better used dropping frags on people. The short range of normal grenades on the Commando and Pathfinder makes smoke more attractive to use (lower risk with a bad scatter than frag) but IME you still spend most of your time shooting their carbines or double moving than lobbing bombs. Getting in close enough to put a smoke template in a good spot isn't as common as you'd like even with a lot of terrain on the table.
