Quar is wild because the minis are adorable and have names like admiral mcsnoots rhyfllymen, and then you read into the lore and it's ww1 trench warfare.
@@declanjones8888 Skirmish game, they have two main games, Code One is the newbies version and N4 the grown ups one (it's quite complex and CO is not bad at all. I mostly play CO. N4 is just more, wich is amazing but it's also amazing theres a smaller game to start) It's set in the near-ish future. Couple hundred years from now. It's based on real-world countries and stuff. Most sci-fi fantasy stuff is basically advanced tech they discovered at some point like super materials, wormhole stabilization or super organic medicine and specially IA So basically, humanity colonized a handful of planets, most modern countries reorganized themselves in super countries led by PanOceania (Australia, India, Indonesia and another non-US liberal countries) and YuJing (super China that "won" the cold War against the US and the UE but have been now overtaken again by PanO, sorta) Humanity has had some wars but the powers are mostly at peace... Except the aliens attack. Basically the covenant. At current point of history it's not yet a full on war but multiple beach heads... Like Tyranid invasion for example. Infinity is more of a spec ops game than a full on wargame, so mission between human factions (Wich are the most since theres only one (quite big) alien faction... I mean they're two but the big bad is the EI, the covenant) are spec ops and black ops between them. Stealing information, selective assassination, stuff like that. Humans aren't at war with each other buuuut we all now there's a cold War underneath. Still, for ordinary people is still normal life. Factions are super cool. I love that they're realistically humans but still super original. PanO, basically liberal utopia. The ultra power. Tolerant, religious, technological. They've got literally power armored catholic knights. YuJing. Super powerful china. Communist empire (yeah future politics are weird but they tried to make them quite realistic). They're... China. Best heavy standard army and ninjas. Nomads. 3 anarchist super ships based on unrestricted information, unrestricted labor, and unrestricted trade. They've got a mix of everything. And I mean it. The most expensive mech and armed furries in the same army Ariadna. A Lost colony of old powers, Russia, US and UE that developed their own culture. Brave, bold, backwards in tech but they've had werewolves so... Haqquislam. Golden age of Islamic science and culture 2.0 rich, asymmetrical, they've got a monopoly on medical tech. They've got Capitan Islam basically. 0-12. ONU but actually useful Aleph. So... Yeah. THE IA, all the others are baned (say that to the nomads). Basically a computer god that care about humanity... And has cloned Achilles as a captain in their independent army. The combined army. The covenant of Halo basically, lead by the Evolved Inteligence, another AI god but... Gengis Khanish. They've got a super weird army but they're scary as hell. Also the gameplay. Complex but the basics are easy to learn. The action economy system is amazing. You have a set amount of moves and can distribute as will among units. Best part, the other player can have a mini reaction if you move someone in their line of sight. Stealth and speed are extremely important so there are also camo and paratrooper units and hacking is a thing. Sorry for the long text I really got excited XD there are not many players, but it's a great universe. I really should try to play it more. Corvus Belli is also an amazing company. All rules are free, models are super crisp and cheap compared to the devil, proxy is legal in tournaments, and there are free oficial (I think) mods for tabletop simulator.
Company of Heroes styled would be a better fit, but CoH1 was the logical mechanical improvement to DoW1 anyways. Too bad they didn't keep the lessons going to into DoW2 until it was too late for anyone to care, and then new people completely botched DoW3 and CoH3 when both should have been super easy slamdunk wins and money printing machines.
You know in Smiling Friends cannon there was the great critter war (critters are what Pim and Charlie are). So, comparing Smiling friends with Quar goes deeper than you think.
Me and my brother have been talking about using the quar as a tau axuilla race that joined the greater good. Makes fighting the weirdly adorable race as imperium kinda sad in a way lol
Nice vid! I saw quar a while ago and almost got some, but my pile of gray is far too large. You NEED to try killteam tho. IMO it’s legitimately the best gamesystem GW ever made
I looked up the tanks and got some expensive and or complex build ideas, the first of which is scaled up RC and only partly based on the official models. Gonna look at your TONKS video next too
I'm so happy that the Quar are getting some attention. It is definitely a labor of love from their creator, and the passion and creativity shows. They're cool little models, and the game itself is fun (with an interesting turn mechanic). I'm looking forward to more of your Quar stuff.
You, stranger, have single-handedly brought Quar from the mire of obscurity into my life and emptied my pockets of cash in an immediate, inspired endeavour to buy every single little man, so thank you, and damn you.
They remind me of the wombles. If you are Genx from the UK, you know. The quar war is so dark. It's like the smurfs had a world war. Or the Muppets had a knife fight. I just ordered a platoon of cofty's
A cool thing with Quar is that if you want vehicles you can through in basically every pre-WW2 vehicle or tank and they fit the aesthetic. Just no Panzers, T34s, or Shermans really.
As a warning, Heavy Gear's plastic models are terrible. I did a bunch on commission a few years ago. Cheaply produced and brittle plastic compared to other manufacturers. They cost far more than the old metals they replaced and have significantly worse detail. I have never seen a transition from metal or resin to hard plastic that was a straight downgrade and worse deal before.
@@LS-yp1ne good to know. I guess I’ll ultimately just stay with my own rules set then. My gaming club moved to a modified form of another game years ago. It was just easier to tweak someone else’s game and cut out all the 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ nonsense.
Just wanna say THANK YOU for the turn out! Never in my wildest imagination did I think this video would blow up to this level. I also wanna mention that if you wanna order plastic quar minis, I Implore you guys go to wargames-atlantic.myshopify.com/?ref=mish_mash. Gives them more incentive to produce more models on their end!
It's a great cover video! Great work! Also, I have the original books, signed by the creator, if you would want them. I live near the Bay Area and years ago used to play a lot of mini games and saw them at conventions. Best of luck in your other videos.
To those of you suggsesting that Quar could take place in Smiling Friends lore, you need to understand that Smiling Friends world building is branched from our own existing world. Like how Richard Nixon avoided being caught in the Watergate Scandal, managed to win the Vietnam war, and stayed in office for long enough to be re-elected for a second term.
This game really really reminds me of the video game FOXHOLE. The two sides are green and blue. Blue is old school and vaguely French, the green is fighting for change. Both sides are in the wrong. I spent why to much time play foxhole so This right up my alley. Thanks man.
I played for like a week straight between Christmas and NewYears a couple years ago. I loved wasting the fruits of labor of some poor midwestern kid on winter break
@@ImmobileLizard I for four wars straight spend early to midwar grinding resources by myself to make 100 heavy tanks with ammo and full kits for when They unlocked. my guild would Hammer all of them and hand them out to all those waiting for there MPF's to bake.

A fun little detail about wargames atlantic bases is that you can glue figures with puddles on the other side. And then all you have to do is to fill the rest with whatever you feel like. Keeps everything level. And WGA uses the same kind of plastic as GW. Maybe not an exact blend, but high impact polystyrene is high impact polystyrene. The fits are not as precise though, so I will suggest a thicker plastic cement instead of extra thin.
*smacks lips* tomar... tomar... what would you do if a funny little blue critter, size of your thumb, came to you holding a rifle and said "its time for quar!" What would you do Tomar?
I've been seeing this for months on FB in ads and other mini pages (been doing a lot of WW1 mini hunting for Trench Crusade 😅) and I always thought they looked goofy AF but when I first saw 40k years ago I thought OG marines looked like dumb Bionicles.... And yet I have hundreds in Black Templar's now. Maybe I'll give it a shot
Have you tried Warsung (very hard to come by originally i think it is swedis or something like this, but I saw an english translation ONCE) Instead of dice it was played with poker cards and you had to bid higher than your oponent to come first, to deal damage, to deal critical, (or to defend ofc). The Lore is alternative 1930-40-s worldwide, with Halfling Mob, Ork Triad, and idk the rest.
I kind of like this mundane alien astetic. If the Imperium were to Invaders the Quar they wouldn't be met by overwhelming numbers, advanced technology or uncanny alien intellect, but just by an unsettling human-like stubbornness
The quality of the Quar models, are pretty decent to be honest, they have good details specially for practically $1.7 (Rounded up from 1.6666666666666666666666666666667) per model. Compared to the $5 per WH40k Space Marine model.
I cant believe how excited I am for soonish trying the Quar series, cant wait actually. Warhammer is kinda expensive,never finished my beginner set...maybe one day, but I'm going to do Quar stuff now lol
Yeeeeeaahh 40K was cool. But charging the bejesus out of ur own customers is straight up demonic, and fkng with the lore, to appease people that don't even play the damn game no less, is just adding insult to injury. If I ever start dropping money on a table top, it would be on something like this. Thanks for sharing!
Ok so… I’ve always been intimidated by war hammer, the overly detailed and expensive minis, terrain, a factions just didn’t sit with me. Plus something about GW just doesn’t feel right to me. This however does pique my interest, it’s cheap and it’s more simplistic models look like they could be great for getting a start into mini painting!
The "sunday paper funnies section" art style that you see on a lot of "funny" calendars aimed at the elderly... Definitely a strange choice for a tabletop game. Gives me the vibes of Munchkin without the humor.
7:05 back in the days we called the resins fail-casts since they always had boubles and incosistencies...that is why it was discontinued probably EDIT:grammar
I really like how you brought up that the fighting forces are all Quar, because that's what really captures me about Battletech, is that the differences are all in the culture and ideologies which makes them seem to burn all the hotter.
I've known about Quar for some time, it's been a bit of a sleeper hit for folks that like WW historic games but want something a little fantastical. I plan on 3d printing a bit out of Quar and checking it out.
Counterpoint: for most of human history and pre-history we were actually at peace with one another. The idea that we have always been at war is historical revisionism meant to justify current and future warfare by the elites.
I kind of hate when things are labelled "an alternative to [most popular brand of a hobby]", like "The DnD killer" because it sets differents expectations. Warbands games are definitely not alternatives to the army builds of warhammer. It's two differents things that can coexists
@@MishMashPainting Oh yeah I totally get it, it's just a pet peeve as someone who plays a lot of wargames except warhammer 40k. I've recently even seen people say turnip28 was the "new Warhammer 40k" lol
Quars are dudes! I like the simple designs and the fact that they are all equal, they are just like humans, there is no good side to a war. I think its an even better fit for representing the war
They all look like shrimp from smiling friends lol (imagine they all sound like him💀). I've been wanting to get into battletech tho! Maybe pick up a mini or starter kit one day. I've heard the lore is REALLY good 🤌✨️
@MishMashPainting it looks really cute and easy too. Would be great to be able to play with people (like me) who can't comprehend all the fluff rules of warhammer
Wow as an avid Turnip28 fan, I’m shocked I’ve never heard about this before but I’m instantly hooked. Definitely gonna look into the lore and game some more, maybe see what the 3d printing scene looks like for these guys. Great video, and also love the tf2 music in the background lol

I do really really like that they are all the same race, it feels so much more realistic that way
Ok so… I’ve always been intimidated by war hammer, the overly detailed and expensive minis, terrain, a factions just didn’t sit with me. Plus something about GW just doesn’t feel right to me.
This however does pique my interest, it’s cheap and it’s more simplistic models look like they could be great for getting a start into mini painting!
Love the first 2 dawn of quar games
The "sunday paper funnies section" art style that you see on a lot of "funny" calendars aimed at the elderly... Definitely a strange choice for a tabletop game.
Gives me the vibes of Munchkin without the humor.
The styles and lore of each army looks just like the factions from the PC game "Foxhole" Lmao, I guess the Quar is where they got their inspiration
7:05 back in the days we called the resins fail-casts since they always had boubles and incosistencies...that is why it was discontinued probably
EDIT:grammar
I love Quar Charlie, I love quar!!!!
I really like how you brought up that the fighting forces are all Quar, because that's what really captures me about Battletech, is that the differences are all in the culture and ideologies which makes them seem to burn all the hotter.
Now add turnips. 👀
Personally always felt taboo playing historical war games. So I love games with the early-mid 20th century war aesthetic but set in fictional worlds
I would love a trench crusade painting video (I'm in the middle of painting two warbands and desperately need inspiration)
I've known about Quar for some time, it's been a bit of a sleeper hit for folks that like WW historic games but want something a little fantastical. I plan on 3d printing a bit out of Quar and checking it out.
Quar. Quar never changes
I also recommend Conquest: the Last Argument of Kings by Para Bellum
i love their little worm noses
Counterpoint: for most of human history and pre-history we were actually at peace with one another.
The idea that we have always been at war is historical revisionism meant to justify current and future warfare by the elites.
I kind of hate when things are labelled "an alternative to [most popular brand of a hobby]", like "The DnD killer" because it sets differents expectations. Warbands games are definitely not alternatives to the army builds of warhammer. It's two differents things that can coexists
literally impossible to coexist. Most novice wargamers dont know this but model companies frequently take up arms with one another in actual combat.
in all seriousness, I titled the video like so because my channel is almost exclusively warhammer content.
@@MishMashPainting Oh yeah I totally get it, it's just a pet peeve as someone who plays a lot of wargames except warhammer 40k. I've recently even seen people say turnip28 was the "new Warhammer 40k" lol
This is a gorgeous video. I love it. I'm always looking for good cool off the path games like this.
Quar… Quar never changes.
Quars are dudes! I like the simple designs and the fact that they are all equal, they are just like humans, there is no good side to a war. I think its an even better fit for representing the war
I suggest the *"Hordes"* Minifigures especially because it is very similar to *"Warhammer"* and *"Warhammer 40k"*
Well, this video certainly put a new game on my radar. I will definitely be keeping it in mind for the future!
They all look like shrimp from smiling friends lol (imagine they all sound like him💀). I've been wanting to get into battletech tho! Maybe pick up a mini or starter kit one day. I've heard the lore is REALLY good 🤌✨️
I like battletech but quar is way more powerful
@MishMashPainting it looks really cute and easy too. Would be great to be able to play with people (like me) who can't comprehend all the fluff rules of warhammer
@@Lavendeer201 oh absolutely. (Also with the battle tech thing, I'm thinking of kitbashing mechs to be quar walkers)
Wow as an avid Turnip28 fan, I’m shocked I’ve never heard about this before but I’m instantly hooked. Definitely gonna look into the lore and game some more, maybe see what the 3d printing scene looks like for these guys. Great video, and also love the tf2 music in the background lol
The quarreling quorum of the Quor war.
IT'S YOU JELQUIUS! YOU'RE THE QUAR!
