Is Warcry Underrated, or is it just the best fantasy skirmish game made by Games Workshop? Peachy goes on a deep dive into why he thinks just that, all whilst painting a Corvus Cabal.

Noooo.... this free-to-play rubbish.... with nefarious in-game gambling microtransactions...
I would have never believed that you would need to fall so low as to promote this rubbish. Truly disappointed.
Such a tenuous excuse to squeeze in an advert. One of the (many!) things I've appreciated about The Painting Phase has been its honesty. It's so sad to see that being sold off. Please don't become yet another of those low quality desperate hobby channels.
@@SuperWhatever1979 Yes, exactly. And so sad to see Warcry and Raid even mentioned in the same video. The Painting Phase obviously needs to pay rent and keep the lights on, but shilling for shovelware is just not cool.
Apparently Raid pays stupidly well for adverts, so hopefully they got a big bag of cash as well as an excuse for Peachy to enthuse about Warcry.
You guys should do a Warcry campaign along side the Necromunda one, or instead of it, because I feel the rule system in Warcry would make it much easier for Peachy to run it as there isn’t so many rules to remember. And the system would also lead to shorter videos for the episodes of the campaign.
Seconded!
YEEEEAAAS! YES PEACHY! Spread the good word of Warcry! More converts! MOOOOAAAAR!
😂😂😂 One game to rule them all!
@@thepaintingphase My younger son has been begging me to start getting into this... hard sell Peachy. Fine, I do it.... :P
so true, this game needs more shoutouts, super solid system, even non wargamers can have bouts of fun with it
@@hraughr It's literally the only tabletop game my husband will play with me 😄. He played it once and instantly loved it
@@DarcyBonoCreations heh same with my wife :)
While Blood Bowl will always be my favourite GW game, Warcry has the best ruleset of GW games that I have experience of. Wish there was a 40K game with a similarly simple ruleset
I really wished killteam had taken more inspiration from it but they just went for ultra comp...
@@SpooKimiNarrative Kill Team (SpecOps) is a delight!
@@v.y.o.
I never really got into narrative as friends were busy but I would love to try it ^^
But I wouldn't wanna try it with killteam 2 it has so many core flaws I just don't enjoy and I think those will are still there in narrative? If not I would give it a shot
@@SpooKimiYeah! Double XP, half the mission count for rewards if you don't get up play a lot to speed it up. Great fun, great stories, lots of fun, fluffy rules that would never fly in competitive 😅
@@v.y.o. rip just as ya answer I changed my comment as I thought you were referring to killteam 2 ><
But if its for killteam 1, once I make some friends once I moved countries It would be nice to play narrative once :3
Warcry is one of my favourite games. You can just draw into loss because of the random combos but if you approach it from the right attitude it can be very liberating. I love the elegance of the one roll resolution, and using the initiative roll as a source of the abilities is such a genius move, I love making one step do double the work.
Warcry is my favourite GW game system, even though I'm not that much into fantasy, it's just more fun than their 40k varieties
That was a bloody good Advert. Having a joke about it is one thing, and a very valid way to keep people watching the ad, but linking the advert to the content? Superb.
I've worked out that the skirmish games are my favourites these days. Underworlds, Warcry and Blood Bowl are all great, and from a hobby perspective they're all perfect for those random ideas you have!
Have you tried Silver Bayonet? You've already got all the Napoleonics for it and it's a lot of fun. Sharpe v Gothic Horrors might be right up your street.
Silver Bayonet co-op is sublime ❤
The Darkoath Savagers are by far my most favourite war and for Warcry. God I want a fully realised Darkoath AoS Army.
This 👆🏻 full darkoath would be amazing
looks like your wish will become real this year if you have been up to date with GW news!
The unique flavour and cool sculpts of the warbands is what I enjoyed most about Warcry. I really hoped Kill Team would basically do the same thing in the 40k universe, but alas, they only ever released a small handful of such unique models
Went to the Warcry tournament at Warhammer Fest. Don't go to tournaments and had never played Warcry. Not only was the game so much fun, but the community is amazing too. There's still plenty of depth to the game (particularly how your warband enters the battle), but it reliably brings together hobbyists that might otherwise struggle to find the right community for them. I myself love converting together my warbands and discovering other players' creations
A marvellous video, sir! HUGE fan of Warcry, and did always enjoy your ability to beer WHTV Twitch streams in that direction (plus tea and hedgehogs). The dollhousing is immense, and would happily watch a whole video on that - and second the requests for a Warcry campaign (Necromunda-style). Cheers for the vid! 🙌
Genuinely amazing game. My gf wanted to try blood bowl first. She enjoyed it, but not being a gamer of any kind, the rules were a bit mind boggling to her. We then played Necromunda, which she thoroughly enjoyed, but didn't have the time or patience to do all the "admin" that comes with it, so, I took a punt and bought Warcry.... and what a great decision that was!! Now we own 6 warbands, tons of scenary, and friends and family who would have NEVER tried wargaming have had a go and loved it. Excellent game with excellent minis.
I had a very similar experience with my girlfriend. She enjoyed Blood Bowl but found the dice too frustrating. So I took all the random models she'd painted up to that point and gave them Warcry rules by matching them to existing fighters. Space Marine with a Boltgun? Stormcast archer. Blood Bowl orc? Savage orruk warrior. Etc. Etc.
She loved it!
LItterally played my first game of Warcry 4 hours ago, and I have to say this is spot on. It's a great game. Spot on Table-top EDucation Talk.
😍👍
I can't find the "best TED talk evah" button, guess I'll just gush here. What a beautiful scheme for Corvus Cabal! I've been struggling to figure out something that's not just black on black--you've nailed it!! Thanks, Peachy!!
Warcry had me paint 15 warbands painted all Death and all Destruction and then a little mixed from different. But love that I can take a week painted a team and play with my pals later. No other game makes painting so smooth and the rules so simple. Also love that there are endless possibilities with the mission cards. Yeah wish GW would make another box with city terrain but maybe 2 floors with 2-3 destroyed houses.
I played Warcry during it's first Edition and I really liked esp. because of the alternating Activations system and the simplicity of the rules, beside the handy Battlecard deck, where you draw together your scenario and Victory conditions etc. But it felt a bit unbalanced and swingy bc of the different warbands and their rules and abilities. The amount of books you need(ed) put me off finally. I've switched to One Page Rules and their kind of equivalent called Age of Fantasy Skirmish. The rules are free and simple as Warcry incl. alternating Activations and you can use whatever models you like for it. It plays really fast and feels a lot more balanced. There are even campaign rules for it which are also free! I highly recommend to try out One Page Rules 😊
Warcry rules, it feels way more approachable from a hobby standpoint to customize or paint just a warband and is super fun to play too
Hey Peachy great 👍 video! Can you do a guide on how to make that blood pool thing? 9:08 It looks epic!!!
My Rotmire Creed was the first time I ever felt like I really accomplished anything in this hobby. I love my Necrons but of course painting a 1000 pt army can be really daunting. With Warcry, I felt like I was really expanding my knowledge about how to paint wood and skin and more organic textures, I really love this game. And as you've said, the rules are superbly simple to get into.
Warcry is one of the reasons i came into the hobby and fell in love with skirmish games. This and Aeronautica Imperialis are some of my favourite games/ game systems GW have ever made
Cheers for the vid guys - about to start learning and teaching a group of mates
Huge fan of warcry! I've been pushing it at my lgs, but still struggling to get it going.
Def gonna give it a try since im a 40k player thats gonna start a slaves of darkness army to learn Aos but def gonna pick some of the slaves of darkness sets aswell since i love em
I love the Warcry models...even more the terrain. Great hobby value when you consider the crossover with AoS.
I did enjoy how you were able to tie your sponsor for the week into your painting as well. Using the game characters as inspiration for your minis. Another great video Peachy!
Its really funny you mention the blood bowl thing, as i had the exact same experience. I played the old starter set with a friend just after the re-release and got absolutely murdered twice as the "your turn ends and rolls over to your opponent when you fail a roll" felt absolutely awful when i was failing every action I was trying to make. Was literally me attempting to pass, failing, passing my turn. It was hilariously bad, and I can imagine if I cared more about winning, id have been a really annoyed.
Cheers for a great video Peachy, I love everything about Warcry, but yet tp play a game. I've got all last seasons Warcry, even got a card box with the Warcry Logo lasered on the lid from Etsy! But I've still only built a few band, collected most, and only fully painted the Iron Gollums. Also got most of the Underworlds warbands on sprues. I keep my eye out for the older bands for both that I didn't bother buying at the start. Need to get my thumb out and get painting!
i watched a few warcry battle reports and it looked really fun, it kind of clicked right away, i could tell what was happening and it felt like the game, the objectives and what they were intending to do to complete the objectives was very clear. as someone who paints models but hasnt rly played the games since the early 90s all the other games systems ive tried to watch the mechanical numbers, dice rolls etc swamp out the game itself. it becomes 80% rolling dice, we roll 6 dice and needs 4+ to get to the next set of dice where we need a 3+ and then that goes to another set of dice and theres a +1 becaus eof this rule but then a -2 from this other rule...
it just devolves into endless maths and dice spam, the mechanics of the simulation just eclipse whats actually being simulated, where as warcry the fact that these 2 guys are trying to move in range of this objective while your other guy tries to kill the enemy holding it with a crossbow still felt like the star of the show because the mechanics needed to simulate those actions were streamlined enough.
This video was fantastic. Love it not JUST because I whole-heartedly agree, but also enjoy hearing how you got to liking it so much and seeing all the other work you've put in besides painting the standard WarCry models. Now I want to see all the Cities warbands you mentioned!
There should be a fair few on my Instagram, got loads to add onto my socials
Warcry is such a great game! Especially if you like narrative campaigns, but sometimes there are balance issues (Ogor Breacher?) 😅
Ha! I’ve recently been playing against the Iron Golum, using my Darkoath Savagers, and to be honest the Slaughterborn and Proven with great Axe seem to easily manage that brute.
I imagine it’ll be a lot harder with my Freeguild 😂
Getting “into” Warcry is harder than playing it. There’s so many expensive books and bits I thought I needed to buy to play the game, that in hindsight, I really didn’t need. I kinda regretted missing the chance to buy the first Starter Box when it was released, so I had to spend a fair bit of money and time buying all the bits from that Starter box separately that I wanted (the terrain, the cards, etc).
I grew up playing in the early/mid 90s, so I’m not really interested in modern GW minis and instead formed my warbands from older sculpts. This didn’t go down well with local “real” players of the game. I even made my own character cards with built-in wound tracker dials, which again, was frowned upon by local gamers because it wasn’t an official Warcry product. All of this reminded me why I stopped playing games as a kid.
The game is super streamlined, but I personally don’t like all of the icons. A lot of them look the same and it can be difficult and time consuming figuring out what model can perform which ability. All of the abilities are also written in an extremely over-complicated MTG-like obtuse language which is in stark contrast to the simple rules.
In my opinion, there’s literally dozens of fantasy skirmish games which easily rival Warcry in terms of playability and flavour and cost a fraction of Warcry and a lot of them are even FREE (I believe GW have now made huge sections of the rules available for free, but when I started playing I spent a lot on the books for the campaign info, which I ended up not even using). Games such as: Sword Weirdos, Necropolis28, Relic Blade, Verrotwood, Steve Jackson’s Melee, Brawl Arcane28, Open Combat, 1page rules Fantasy Skirmish, The Barons’ War, Tales from the Deathrealm, The Streets of Erekh, DUEL, Savage Blades, Forbidden Psalm, Maximum Massacre, Altar of the Dead Gods, Lobsterpot, Path to Glory, Reign in Hell.
Warcry is great, but there’s so many great games out there to explore.
Love Warcry, best game GW makes by far. Great paint and chat, and I remember enjoying watching you do games on Twitch during the early lockdowns and it kept my spirits high and inspired me to make several different warbands. Daughters of Khaine and Slaanesh forever! Great content!
I wish GW would do a discount starter box for it, sorting similar to the Underworlds entry set or the small size starter boxes.
They literally do. It's out now
Somone in my 40k group got tired of 40k and said he wanted to try a different game. I conveniently had the Red Harvest box that I still had not built. So, I built Red Harvest in a day and brought it to game night. Our learning match (where neither one of us truly knows the rules yet) took about 2.5 hours, but we both had a blast with a small force that was easy to manage. As we were cleaning up, we noticed other tables of 40k were still on round 3.
Another thing I like is the simplicity of the scoring system: There is an objective. Did you complete it? No? You lose.
Nice paint job and great points
So glad you made this video :) Warcry is a fantastic game that had a rough launch.
The game wasn't in its best place when it first came out and then COVID tried to bury it which massively impacted it's growth.
Now it has really found its feet and excels for Open, Narrative and Matched play.
I find warcry is unbeatable for how simple but still tactically interesting it is, all while being super fast and easy set up!!
And you haven't mentioned Monsters and Mercenaries, the fact that you can battle monsters to capture them and use them in your campaign, and the amount of models that can be used there. So much replayability.
Glad that you dropped the qualifier that MESBG is the best of the best ;) Warcry really does seem awesome and can't wait to actually play it!
Thanks for this, I really like the fantasy style but the thought of collecting more armies on top of my 40k ones was always a bit of a road block, gonna take a look at this
Great content as ever. Just building on your bloodbowl point I would strongly suggest trying bloodbowl 7s if you prefer skirmish games. I almost exclusively play 7s now as game time is shorter and I can get multiple matches in over a single play session. There is also less of a grind compared to the full game. Dungeonbowl is also alot of fun!
I got into Kill Team which I really enjoyed, but after trying Warcry that now firmly sits as my favourite! So many fun elements to it
Love the video! Warcry is such a fun skirmish game.
Hey Peachy, great video as always! I been trying to get my gaming group to play Warcry but they are not budging... I guess it is time to get a new gaming group. Love the "Evolution" reference and keep up the great work! Say hi to Patrick and Geoff for me!
It’s a huge YES! when a game allows you to use both AOS and Underworlds model, it’s fast and fun to play and there are just so many things you want to try here and there.
There are no such thing as a “bad team” in Warcry, I love the game so much that I couldn’t be quiet about it in the hobby shop, I even got a journal of warband list I keep writing for Warcry. It’s just great!
🙌🙌🙌
I love Warcry! My friend got me into it with the Red Harvest set. It's so simple to learn, but so much fun to play with you friends. I actually prefer Warcry over AOS tbh
From a pure “beer & pretzels” standpoint, gameplay wise it’s good! Models are also fantastic.
But as people who have played *a lot* of Warcry, it can also be very frustrating if you don’t “switch off”.
The most enjoyment I’ve gotten out of Warcry is playing it with good friends and it primarily being a social outlet, to be honest!
Most things are fun with good friends
@@WladcaPodziemia Ha oh okay then.
I do like customising my own warbands, but warcry seems fun
I played my first game of Warcry just the other day, and it was so easy to pick up! My first turn was really slow, but after that I really started to speed up. Building a warband was really easy too, I slapped together what I could from a KO start collecting box I'd picked up ages ago and it didn't feel like I was playing at a disadvantage because I wasn't using the best most meta choices possible.Now I really want to build and paint more and more different warbands so I can have all sorts of variety of play.
Awesome! That’s amazing to hear, glad you had a great time too. Those KO dudes are great.
Warcry is one of the most popular games in with my local group. We wanted to Killteam to more closely follow this rules set.
If only killteam had done that, I think I would have kept playing it 😅
I've not been playing warcry and I love it, my fav game
Completely agree Peachy. I was not that interested initially but got hooked. Thinking on your feet and responding to the twists and turns of a game that’s soldiering.
Hahaha! Perfection
I liked this format. It made me happy and positive. Thanks
Yep and its even better in campaign mode - the scenery building alone is almost like a fun mini game into itself, make something cool then play on it.
Love the horns of hashut, first premade warband thats actually made me consider a second box to buff them out more.
Our group enjoys AoS's Path to Glory system quite a lot. We made sure that we got 3 battle rounds max. Had a LOT of games done within a month.
Great video
This is how I feel about KillTeam. The way you described "Scratching the Itch" I love how attached you get to such fewer models. Absolutely want to try Warcry
Same. I love Kill Team so much that the temptation to also jump in to Warcry is strong. That would mean I'd be buying less Kill Team stuff though....decisions decisions.
I painted my untamed beast warband following your tutorial. 😊
Thanks!
Great Video! Would love to know the co,our you used for the clothes on the corvus cabal - it's a beaut of a colour.
It is AK’s Dark Blue Grey, if you mix dark reaper and thunderhawk blue you get a similar result
That scenery is absolutely amazing. Kitbashing scenery video in the future maybe? 🙂
Yep! I have many thoughts and ideas
I agree with this. One point from this video I that I really like, is that you can use any AoS faction and build a fun viable warband. The hobgrots warband is a great example. Kill Team is cool but the bespoke teams are just leagues then the non-bespoke teams. So if you want to play small scale, personalized 40k (10e Combat Patrol not withstanding), its just not as fun with Kill Team if you want to play, for example, Astra Millitarum. The game system makes it really fun and expansive for all the factions. The balance and variety equal more fun.
Bloody Nora Peachy! Necromunda player here, and now you got me plotting on a warcry band. Sold!
Right, I'm sold :) Cheers Peachy!
😂👍 well that was easy, seriously though hands down one of the best entry level and fun and engaging skirmish games I know.
I've been commissioned to paint 3 Warbands to date by a friend of mine. Chaos Legionairres, Rotmire Creed and Horns of Hashut. All done and some were a chore to do. He wants me to paint Splintered Fang next. He'll have to wait until I paint my Leviathan Space marines as Iron Hands. Maybe I might chance a game.
Thanks, Peachy. I had no clue on Warcry. I've heard of it, but didn't know what it was like. Thanks for the info and pep talk. May nip my toe in that pool to see what it's like. The quick set up and finish, does appeal to me.
you won’t be disappointed
Well I finally got to play Warcry and its absolutely amazing. 🎉
I wanted to play warcry for years and the peeps and finally I found local peeps that play it and started it up at the local gaming bar and it's such an amazing game, def my fav game it's so good ❤
A good balance between casual and comp, map layouts can be fun and twists be fun
I have a lot killteams as my friend was in 40k and killteam 1 was fun but a bit clunky
Im moving countries and I really hope peeps play warcry there or I can start it up ^^
It's an amazing ruleset, even without the twist it's not pure a numbers game and I love it, I can make all sort of fun lists and I'm not stuck with 1 and the same list ☺️
That pool of blood is amazing!
I like to call that the Blood Bath! 😂
good video. motivated me, i have 2 full teams and a board painted.. but i still havent played.
Tbf it’s hard getting the opponents, but seeing as you have two warbands that’s useful to introduce others you know that might wanna give it a try.
Yes it is!
Picked up a band of Chaos Legionnaires today
Okay love to hear more about the warcry narrative! Great stuff
i love how simple yet complex warcry is. my girlfriend has never played a skirmish game before and shes in love with it. if she can enjoy it i say thats a solid game
☝️💯☝️ can’t argue with that
@@thepaintingphase love you guys cant wait for more content
Yes! Play Blood Bowl! Come to the NAF Championship next year and have a laugh! I cajoled my daughter to come to this year's event with me and she had a great time despite being very nervous as she's only really played a handful of games.
I need to dig out my Warcry stuff - I still have the original box set in shrink wrap and all the first batch of warbands untouched. Amazing models but there's only so much hobby time :)
Heck yes! Warcry is my favorite current skirmish ruleset by far. I love that the rules are very simple to teach, fast to pick up, but still contain a lot of tactical depth. I have a lot of friends who play board games, but never really enjoyed miniature games, but really got into Warcry.....because after your first turn most people really get how the game works and are running with it. Also, due to the short games every movement you make really matters, and many times going just for kills will lose you a game real quick.
The way missions are set up is really awesome too, because the cards allow so much variability. If you manage to pull a set that really just is super lopsided for one player, deal out a new set. Even if you don't the games only take 30-40 minutes.
Huge bonus in that it has a narrative system and the bespoke warbands are some of the coolest minis ever produced.
I don’t mind them shilling Warcry, but I would love to see someone talk about Deadzone. Deadzone is probably the beer and pretzel skirmish game out there
Blood Bowl is a fantastic game. Haven't played Warcry. Might have to check it out. Unfortunately I don't play a lot of games anymore. Mostly I build stuff that I then paint badly.
Warcry can be Mordheim. All you need is some ruined “Old World” buildings. I’d highly recommend some of the MDF ruins for various other game systems. I wholeheartedly agree, by the way. Warcry is also my favourite GW rule set.
Like my pal always says: Warcry is easy to get into, hard to master. Blood Bowl is hard to get into and very hard to master. The key is to avoid getting diced by rolling as little as you can or by positioning so that rolls are tilted in your favor. It might be counter-intuitive but it is amazing game design.
"Warcry - The Ultimate Beer and Pretzels Experience"
I would absolutely watch a warcry campaign by yall repeatedly.
Ha! I really want to run one for the channel - I imagine that’ll happen when we’ve moved to a bigger office
Skirmish games are the best games for limited playtime. They can lead to so many rabbit holes, with gang ideas coming from crazy moments.
I have so many Necromunda gangs waiting for campaign time 😂
Big fan of Warcry. Love the simplicity of it as well as all of the beautiful miniatures and terrain GW have made for it
Great video that reflects many of my own thoughts. For a long time I had shied away from giving WarCry a chance, partly because I actually don't like AoS very much.
But then I was invited to a WarCry tournament by someone whose invitation I couldn't refuse.
So I tried it, and I was really flashed. The system is perfect for what it wants to be. The rules are simple but still allow for exciting and cinematic games. I am now absolutely convinced by WarCry. It's simply great!
Greetings from germany! ;-)
Where do I get the faction rules for all the factions, including the underworlds ones?
I initially got the starterbox for the terrain for AoS. I tried the game once and was immediately hooked. It's so fun and versatile. Since then, I've become a bit of a warcry collector / hoarder 😂😂
Couldn't agree more. The one and only game I have actually had a chance to play but I love it
100% yes it is. I play a ton with my two kids, 11 and 9. Its simple enought they can understand it but still has tons of depth and variation. Plus the campaign systems for it have been fantastic
I'm seriously considering getting into WarCry (reckon I can even annoy the Mrs into a game) I LOVE Necromunda but always looking for fun stuff to play!
Can you add titles for paints as you go? Would really help us understand how to approach this paint style. Gonna try Warcry now too! Thanks Peachy 👍
Hi, great video! Thanks so much for making it. I'm thinking about dipping my toe into the tabletop wargaming (or skirmishing). What you've said here about Warcry is really useful. I was thinking about getting into "The Old World" when it comes out next year, and so watched a few battle reports. It seemed like there wasn't that much scenery used, and the two armies kinda just face off against each other. Whereas in Warcry the scenery is integral. (Which is more of what I am looking for).
Middle Earth Strategy also sounds interesting, although I think I like the look of newer models, does GW still support Middle Earth?
Would love to get into Necromunda (campaign mode) but don't like the look of the models (sad face).
Love the narrative hooks you mention and creating War Bands - That sounds really fun
Might have a look at it, if the starter box comes with more interesting warbands than the current one - though the terrain looks awesome in it.
I can never decide if it’s absolutely perfect or a bit boring. The simplicity is genius. Just genius. But, equally, the Wounds mechanic can make it quite dull. There’s something very evocative in WHFB and Mordheim that a couple of lucky rolls can take out almost anyone. Fighting Stormcast in WarCry is a bit repetitive and depends on objective play a lot.
I need to give this game a try, great video. Would love to see a how to play video.
Just picked up warcry books to start tomorrow. Been so sucked into necromunda hopefully it stacks up
I've become an total convert to skirmish games in the last 2 years. 'Munda campaign last year, Mordheim and Warcry this year, as well as neat stuff like the Monster Hunter World game. If you like rules systems that aren't groaning under their own weight, but nevertheless provide loads of tactical nuance, I cannot recommend Adeptus Titanicus enough. Really strategic, but a 1000-1500 point game only needs take 60-90 minutes.
Great content, as always :D Though I note with sadness the lack of an earth-shatteringly awkward Peachy double entendre!
Hahaha! My apologises
Im just about to get into warcry with a friend, this video hyped me up, even more >:3
Yeah! More Warcry More Often lol
Thinking of getting into this, which box set is the best to start off with?
I'd been waiting for you to explain why you love Warcry so much. It has its flaws - I think too much damage relies on crits and you can randomly draw missions that are an instant win for one side - but every time I've played it it's been so much fun. As you say, the rules are very simple, the dice mechanic is fun, and the narrative campaigns are a great idea. Plus, for slow painters like me, it's a great way to both get variety and to finish projects.
I really need to convert more of my friends to playing it.
Blood Bowl is a great game, but it can be a bit Marmite as the dice rolls can be brutal. I have dabbled with friends and have enjoyed it, but it I find it _very_ tense.
Warcry is awesome. Once you tell people the rules are free and you can just grab random store terrain and bring ANY AoS models you want people light up about it.
