Thanks, I have almost played through the entire campaign. Just one more scenario to go.

Thanks, I am enjoying the black fang expansion a lot.

Thanks!

Thanks! I enjoy the painting part of the hobby. The bases are clear acrylic I got from LITKO but I am sure you can find them cheaper other places. I bought a couple of the caddies, but printed the rest.

@@WarhammerDad Thanks!

I do have a couple of dice trays and a tower that came with my table but never thought of a western themed tray. That is a good idea.

put together a quick one and 3 d printed it. It does fit the theme.

I'm curious where you're located?

@@Crankbait4444 Indiana, about 15 minutes from downtown Indianapolis...

@@Crankbait4444 Am in the Nation's Capital...Hence all the street noise.

I painted them white and then used a fluorescent green thinned down to a glaze consistency

Me either, sometimes it seems savaging does more harm than good.

Yes, I really like the clear bases. I usually base my models but for this game the clear just seems to work.

I hear you, I have WAY too much but am having a great time.

@@WarhammerDad its super awesome

I read it like you that you no longer have a penalty for duel wielding. The hitting on a 4+ was an error I talk about at the beginning of the next video.

Maybe I'm just over thinking it, but there are two penalties for dual wielding - one affects both guns (no crits), and one only affects the off hand gun (4+ becomes 5+). Then Twin Guns says "no penalty for the off hand gun", as if it only affects the second thing (4+ becoming 5+). I hope you are right, as I've got a level 3 Bandido, and have always presumed he can get crits.

@@phildevey6302 I see what you mean. I read it as no penalty for having the off hand gun vs no penalty for the off hand gun in use. I honestly never thought of it the second way until now...hmmm will have to think about it but for now I will keep with the crits. The game is hard enough and fairly well balanced with the crits.

I just looked at the specific card for the bandido's starting ability and it says "may fire two guns per turn ignoring the penalty for dual wielding." To me I still read that as ignoring both penalties. BUT-It says specifically the penalty for dual wielding is not getting critical hits and then states in addition the offhand weapon hits on one higher (paraphrase). So if anything it would seem that you would get crits but still only hit on one higher with the offhand weapon. It sounds like both are penalties and the card says ignore the penalty. But as written there is an argument to maintain the off hand higher die roll requirement.

The wording on my card for the Bandido is slightly different, but I have the 1st Edition, and I think yours is the Revised Edition. Your wording is better, and I think it means ignore both penalties for dual wielding, so that's what I'm going to do. I think that is the way to go. I didn't mean to cause a problem, I just wasn't sure what it meant, and wanted to get it straight in my own mind. Good luck for the rest of this mission, hope it goes well.

I use LITKO clear bases. Mostly 25mm which are about $16/100. I used 40s and 60s on some of the bigger models but the majority were 25s. I think you can get the clear bases cheaper other places, but I had already picked up the LITKO and I got them during a sale.

I hear you...sad but I am hoping hell train and lost tombs are delayed so I have some chance of finishing everything else. thanks for the kind words. I am really enjoying shadows now that my son is moved out and on his own. Still have a ton of warhammer to get to eventually.

Thanks, really enjoying SOB and learning the nuances of using speed paint. It is definitely faster, but has it's own challenges.

Thanks, I do enjoy painting the minis. Some of the stl files I got off of thingyverse, some I built myself. Which ones are you referring too? Happy to provide the links.

@@WarhammerDad Sorry to take so long getting back to you. I was referring to the token/card holder sitting behind the Depth Track and the token holder sitting next to it. Also noticed your card holder and where if might have come from. Thanks again for all the work you do and keep the awesome videos comin!

@@redsaber7929 Hi, no worries. The map deck and exploration/salvage token holder is here: Shadows Of Brimstone (CotA) Token Holders by mwinzer - Thingiverse The small exploration token holder is here: Shadows of Brimstone Small Exploration Token Holder by Wazanator | Download free STL model | Printables.com The card holder I use is a business card holder I got on Amazon: Amazon.com : T'z Tagz Brand Clear Acrylic 8 Pocket Countertop Business Card Holder : Office Products I may do a video on how I store and organize at some point.

@@WarhammerDad Thanks for the reply and all of the info! Looking forward to seeing those videos!!

It definitely comes in handy later in the campaign

LOL-I needed that! But no, not really interested in the game enough and never played the video game, but my son is a fan and I picked up up on sale, cheap, so went for it.

Thanks, they were actually pretty fun to paint.

Thanks, still having fun and started a new campaign with the lawman and bandido a few weeks ago and just getting around to editing.

I always forget about cancelling dread cards, I even have an item or two that can cancel darkness cards but forget. As for the Epic threats, page 35 of the rule book says to use normal epic threat cards even in Other worlds and there is no epic level on the other world cards...though you are right, it can lead to odd and out of place fights sometimes. I need to figure a way to convert the high threat to epic on the otherworld cards or maybe just use the high, at least when there are two heroes anyway. Thanks for the tips, they have proven quite useful.

It's easy to forget about cancelling the growing dread cards, but it can be useful, especially near the end of an adventure when you don't want the darkness to move 2 spaces, or take a load of horror hits, or something like that. All the heroes have to have a grit as well, which isn't always easy. As for the Epic threats, the rule on p35 says this at the end - "Normal Epic Threats are used for Other Worlds as well, but any additional Threat cards they have you draw should be from the OtherWorld Threat cards". So I believe the way to think about it is that low / medium / high / epic threat cards exist in the mines, but only epic / otherworld threat cards exist in an otherworld, and the otherworld cards have those three sections to represent low / medium / high. I'm not trying to nit pick about the rules all the time, it's just that when you are watching you notice some things, and it is much easier watching someone else compared to playing yourself. I forget things, and get plenty of things wrong when I play, I think everyone does. One other thing I wanted to say was that in town there is a useful item you can buy at the blacksmiths called a Tomb Chest. This allows a hero to carry dark stone without rolling for corruption, and it can't be stolen either.

@@phildevey6302 NO! nitpick away...so many rules, so many worlds...I really do appreciate the thought and presentation of your comments. Never offended and happy to learn more about the game, none of us get it all right and the mistakes don't diminish the fun.

I was not tracking...i just dismissed the campsite as a trap to avoid...I should look at that more. I do vaguely remember reading it but kind of glossed over it since I didn't plan on using it-live and learn I guess...and yeah, would have come in handy after the next adventure too....but kind of like having them with all the wounds and mutations for now, though it does cause trouble.

He does, but with the hunting knife they found, in close combat having two dice and a reroll seemed more effective...at least until he gets a better shotgun.

@@WarhammerDad Ah, math! Good call!

thanks, I am having a blast playing

can't believe I missed that...ah well...I have missed worse.

I thought of the epic threat issue, but otherworld threat cards don't have an epic level which would solve the issue of where the enemies come from. I agree, with two heroes you could pick a high threat, but sometimes it is nice to play something different...but yeah, it does make loosing more likely...but hopefully in a thematic and spectacular fashion :)

You chose the more adventurous route, and it worked out well. One thing I have noticed is that you don't seem to use dynamite much. It is very good at clearing out enemies with a reasonable defence and low toughness, like the Hungry Dead, and you can use it even when adjacent to enemies. It can clear out multiple enemies really quickly sometimes, and I try to get a Hero with grit to throw it, so you get a second chance at hitting the target square. It can bounce around a bit, and be annoying. The first time you take out 4 or 5 enemies in one go is a revelation, and from then on dynamite is a firm favourite.

Yeah, I played a game last night and had a blast but forgot dynamite (even had some) when 9 hungry dead were dropped on me.

It would have been great for that exact scenario. My motto is buy lots of dynamite in town, use it as often as you can, you won't regret it.

Thanks, I never played the video game but my son was excited for the boardgame.

That was how I read it as well, but then when I read the FAQ on page 7 it states that the corruption resistance is how many points a character can carry before having to trade them in. Which makes it sound like you can carry that number. After going back and reading both again, I agree with you. I have already played the next two games, so will have to wait two more adventure before the change.

I don't think the FAQ helps much in this case, but I do think the original rule is correct - with a resistance of 5 you can take 4 points without any trouble. There will always be inconsistencies with the rules in Shadows of Brimstone, and personal interpretations. With the rulebook, the FAQ, all the abilities of a Hero, and all the items they acquire, there is so much going on. When I play, I always forget a few things, or get them wrong, and I fix it if possible, or just forget it if it is too many turns ago. Looking forward to seeing the next ones!

@@phildevey6302 Agree 1000%

Thanks, I am having a blast, getting my minis painted and have just started a second campaign with two new heroes. I will try and get them posted in the next couple of weeks.

I think it has more to do with my terrible rolling 😀 but he does get a better gun...just need to get it posted.

Thanks. I have been trying to get them all done, but the to do list seems to keep growing😀

@@WarhammerDad I have several of the expansions but just have the minis in primer

@@robmarcjon Living that dream, too!

Thanks, I am having a blast playing.

Thanks 👍

The old Jules Verne one? I haven't seen that since I was a kid. I am going to have to go back and watch it again.

I am not aware of one. I tended to buy one or two when they would go on sale and kept a list of what I had (accidentally got a second pack of one which ended up a stocking stuffer for my son). I have it in my head that powercell was bought by Steven Jackson Games recently but could be thinking of a different company.

Thanks, and I have been on Hiatus but am getting back into board games now :)

Thanks and good thoughts. I will relay them to my son who's Army this is for.

Thanks, unfortunately, I got hit with spider mites and lost all the plants after over a year of weekly strawberries...Ah, well. Good excuse to start over...

Thanks!
