I'm not sure how much Warhammer Fantasy Battle you guys played, but these videos you are making are incredible for veterans and new players alike. Thank you for your work. Your armies look great! You're production quality is top notch. I'm so happy you guys are diving into the Old World.

@konradawolynski manoeuvring with light cav, loved my Dark Riders, was my fave thing in fantasy, I do fear smaller tables would take away so much of strategy. Nothing stopping you from playing on a proper board I guess.
For what its worth the rulebook says use 6x4 as that's the classic, but if that's not possible use 60"x44". So both old and new players can play on what they like 🙂
It's funny that I stumbled across this today, I played WFB back in the late 80s, and was very much into it until I played a competition game where every single unit failed a fear test and they all ran off the table. Quickest game anyone had ever seen, quite ridiculous. After that I decided guitars and girls were a far better distraction, and thank god for that! 😆
I got into warhammer fantastly lore and video games as a teen when I learned about the tabletop game it was too late and it had been discontinued for a good number of years. I am so excited to have my chanc3
This is fantastic, thanks for making this. Would you mind going into detail as to where you got all of that terrain from that's used in this video? It's brilliant and I've love to buy it.
Ah, movement trays. I missed you. It is a long time since i played with my bretonians wood elves, but this beginners overview of thr basic game fundementals seems to suggest the rules have been tightened up a bit. However, My last rule book i have was at least an inch thick, but thats how i liked it. I like the magic phase and i dont like the psychic (basically the magic phase in 40k) being changed. Thanks for the vid.
I'm only 28, and even I'm too old for floorhammer. Used to play 7th and 8th on the floor back in the day though, only surface large enough for the realm of battle board. Edit* I had to add, great video, very pedagogical.
Just wanted a little clarification on something to make sure I read it right. Those that get killed in combat are removed from the number that can fight back? So if the regiment with the higher initiative "kills" 4 of the 6 miniatures in the front rank, the other regiment involved only fights back with 2 models (in that case, would it be the champion and one other regular mini)? Just felt a little lost on that and wondered if folks could help.
This is correct. The sargeant will fight, but the bannerman and musician technically die (someone from the rear ranks steps up and picks up the flag and the drum) so they cant fight. Ive encountered the problem where high intiative units pwn my lower ones, wiping out rank after rank, with only the sargeant swinging attacking back
@@donandresdeulloa4638 thanks for the clarification, much appreciated. I only really properly played 8th so had the step up rule. I can it being devastating to get smashed!
So factions like dwarves, lizardmen and the undead get rofl-stomped in big engagement, whilst elves can just send in small units and absolutely massacre the opposition? It does seem a bit unbalanced to me.
Loved the video, I was looking for something like that, but this is the most thorough. Thank you very much for that! Do you believe that it as new player would be better starting from The Old Worlds or can I just jump in The Age of Sigmar?
I can't wait to get back into TOW properly, need to paint most of my 40K stuff before I can justify getting another whole army, but gives me motivation to keep going!
Good Video. I have a question. We Know that a Unit can adopt only Formation in his Special Rule. Now. We Know that a Close Order Formation is composed of 2 or MORE model in Ranks and Files. Well. Dragon Ogre can only adopt Close Order, but if i want i can also purchase just one 1 Dragon Ogre. So what Formation will the Dragon Ogre have? I Remember that He is not a Heavy Chariot, he is not a Monster, he is not a Character...
Thanks gents - a great intro to the basic rules. I noticed that most of your basic infantry models are still on 20mm bases, are you keeping them like that or will you accommodate the change to 25mm by adjusting the spacing in the movement trays?
Unfortunately producing content is expensive, so there needs to be enough interest in systems to warrant the time and money invested, and sadly there just is not enough call for Conquest and many other games. Never say never but its just not feasibly on the cards
you can easily make a 45 min video just detailing 1.1 of the combat phase and "step up" moves,-- also a 1 hour video on Combat Res, lol. but thanks for this overview
Great video, i thought you covered a wide spread without getting into the weeds (hitting on a 7+, why are you still here?), as they could be a bit off putting to new players. Bit odd you used Tomb Kings to illustrate fleeing but that's ok.
Yeah it’s an extensive ruleset to say the least. Glad to hear the video was useful. Sorry about the Tomb Kings that’s my bad - I’m new to the game too 😅 - Beard
Unless there is more text in the book and/ or samples than the text u displayed, the pursuing into the chariot looks sketchy to me (unless the camera is super deceiving). Normally it used to be a situation while pursuing the fleeing unit (in a straight line) would cause the pursuing unit to touch bases with a different enemy unit, and then it would count as a charge). Whereas on your example it looks like the unit just decided to charge something else instead of pursuing, and even got a flank charge to make it worse (again camera makes it look like the majority of the unit is in the front arc of the chariot), which would also mean pursuing is way more advantageous than overrunning, since it seems the overrunning unit doesn’t have the same choice to abandon its straight line movement…
@csblack01 They are indeed, but this video is about the basic rules, so we weren’t highlighting specific army rules. The units are just representative :)
As a younger player (18 as of July 23) who never got a chance to play fantasy I’m very excited to get a chance to finally play this game
Same here
We welcome you to the old world anytime 😀
Damn I'm just 2 days younger than you and same! Can't wait to finish my skeleton horde!
@@themanfromupover2020 I meant to write 20th, I myself am very excited to play the french and dwarves.

Since TOW release this is the first video I see talking to the new players rather than the old ones. Great job!!!
We’re new players too for the most part!

What's the source? This from an old rulebook? Metal af
This video is beyond awesome - I really, really hope you’ll keep the Old World content coming. Thank you so much!
If y’all keep watching we’ll keep making the content!

One of the most nostalgic, beautiful videos I have ever seen! Keep the good job lads!
Glad you enjoyed it! Hope it was useful!

Will Beardo lead the hordes of chaos in a future Battrep? (I miss him)
The armies look so nice being in formations. Looks much nicer than the AOS skirmish layout.
Looks nicer with the new base sizes yes. Best looking GW game is MESBG War of The Ring.
So excited to see my first GW love 30 odd years ago tightened up and re released. I just need to see if I can persuade my gaming mates to play.
Yeah its a pitty that they make te battlefield so small 0 places to go 0 places to manuver. Idiotic idea to make them this small. Bring back 72x48

I'm back after +-40yrs! (last was 1st Ed I think;)
Great overview - books on order and collections rescued from the loft - nearly 40 years since they have taken part in the Battle for Orcs Drift
This has me reliving the early nineties, & I like it!
You make an unbelievable video about playing our youth beloved game. Hope many new players join ! Keep it real and alive ❤
Absolute master class team…can’t quite express how happy I am to see you delving into Old World 😅❤😂

Got me spinning around like a night goblin fanatic 😵💫 awesome!
This is a great video for someone playing for the first time! Huge blood bowl fan but never played war games and I’m pumped for The Old World!
Omg thank you TTT!! I would like to play TOW but its kindda complex indeed. If they ever release a Kislev faction, im in!!! Keep up the good work !!!
Hopefully this will be the guide to help make it clearer! We're also hoping for Kislev!
Thank you!! Can't wait to get my hands on my copy of the rules.
Wonderful content!! This is a great resource for what appears to be a particularly complex game. Well done and thank you!
Great stuff. Hope it was useful!

If GW hasn't already paid you for this video, they should. I can easily imagine this appearing on the community site.
Fine by us!

Such a great video and tutorial! Thanks for doing this. Looking foward to more TOW content
Great video - perfect for newcomers like myself to reinforce the rules from the book! Also, awesome looking armies!
one of the best old world vids ive seen..kudos
Excellent video. Great production and explanation
I was waiting for such a video! Maaaany thanks. And also if you could do some battle reports with „learn along” commentary - that would be awsome.
Those old models..... 🥹 so much nostalgia
Good watch, yes it does need a few watches to master. found it easy to follow will definitely watch out for more. 🎉
thank you for the video! i was thinking of painting some tomb kings, but still dont know how to play wfb yet.
Yes. And wow on the combination of voices!
I'm only 28, and even I'm too old for floorhammer. Used to play 7th and 8th on the floor back in the day though, only surface large enough for the realm of battle board.

Thank you for this! This channel and rogue element gaming does battle reports the best.
Maaaaan there is some nostalgic artwork in there. I still have my 6th ed rulebook.

Battle for skull pass was one of the first sets my brothers and I got. Man are we old. But I’m sure happy to dust my bretonnians off again
That beautiful Empire army is convincing me to paint mine as Ostermark.
It’s a very cool scheme!
- Beard
thanks for this summary of the rules
The Per Suit move. Got it. The unit moves depending on how many suits they have.
You must track your suits at all times. Very important.

I'm so fucking pro return of templates

That Beastmen army at 4:19 :O
Phenomenal video team.

Wow, that was a lot. But now I feel like I can watch the battle reports and know what's going on. Cheers for the video.
Thank you for watching!
Very nice coverage of the rules! Keep up the good work! Clearly the best Warhammer videos on the internet!
Excellent. Can’t wait to get my hands on the new BTB (big teal book).
👌🏻 hope you enjoy it!

LETS GOOOOO. MY KEYBOARD IS READY
Good Video.
I have a question.
We Know that a Unit can adopt only Formation in his Special Rule.
Now.
We Know that a Close Order Formation is composed of 2 or MORE model in Ranks and Files.
Well.
Dragon Ogre can only adopt Close Order, but if i want i can also purchase just one 1 Dragon Ogre.
So what Formation will the Dragon Ogre have?
I Remember that He is not a Heavy Chariot, he is not a Monster, he is not a Character...
Where is the game mat from? It looks beautiful. Great video, by the way!
Thank
you! exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks for making this.
Thanks gents - a great intro to the basic rules. I noticed that most of your basic infantry models are still on 20mm bases, are you keeping them like that or will you accommodate the change to 25mm by adjusting the spacing in the movement trays?
We’ll be sorting our bases don’t worry!

This was really helpful. Where do people get movement trays from? They seem custom built
Yet another video with crazy high production value. 🤗
Thank you! Hope it’s useful.
- Beard
Excited to see another tomb kings battle report!!
We have one coming out On Demand on Friday 😊
Does a unit have to do that sick spin move when it falls back in good order? Or is that optional?
I really want this game to succeed.
You and me both!
- Beard
Very good video thanks a lot for the effort!
Thanks for this. Where did you get your battle mat?
Great video! I am wait for my Old World stuff with bated breath. I already started dusting off my old Wood Elves.
How exciting! It’s so cool to hear about people finding their old armies again.
- Beard
Can undead flee in this edition or was that just a generic example of rallying fleeing troops?
Just a representative example
Thank you so much for making this!

Hey! Here it is! Love it.

Damn they werent lyin', that World do be Old.

Skaven will rule yes-yes!! 💪🏽🐭
I’m pretty confused. So does this replace age of sigmar with a game closer to the original warhammer fantasy battle ?
Thank you for the great video!
Glad you liked it! Hope it’s useful.

Can you also please make content for Conquest: The Last Argument of King with the same high quality. Would be greatly appreciated.

Guys how i remove casualties if my opponent charge me on a flank? And how i remove casualties if i got charged on flank and front? Thx a lot:)
Can’t wait for this to full release and absolutely hope that total war makes an old world game
Total War Warhammer is old world.
as i understand in the shooting phase a unit can target an engaged enemy unit as long it as range and visible?
No you can never target units in combat with ranged attacks
thanks could you tell me the page number of the rule?@@tabletoptactics
It's on the second page of Shooting, and like the 3rd bullet point of "Who Can Shoot?" - it's pretty clear, once you have the book 🙂

I noticed that you were fleeing and breaking with TKs - I thought they crumbled or breaked - and they were immune to psych so couldn’t flee ?
@csblack01 They are indeed, but this video is about the basic rules, so we weren’t highlighting specific army rules. The units are just representative :)
Instructions unclear, summoned Nagash instead.
Please send help and prayers my way 😄
May Khorne celebrate the grand slaughter to come 👹👹👹I actually still have my old dwarf army from the 80s so may venture out my comfort zone of AOS 👍💯
This is the way! Love the old armies being dusted off.

Gràcies!
Appreciate you! Thanks very much
I do not think skeletons or mummies would panic and flee, they are kind of mindless.
