    Just wanted to throw in a correction as a long time fan of the game. The earlier season universal cards are cycled out in tournament play, but the old warbands and their warband specific cards are still valid. Still means you need to shell out for new universal cards to pimp out your deck but at least you'll never be wasting effort assembling and painting your favorite warband.

      That's good to know. I've got the old Skaven warband somewhere that I bought when I got a copy of the game because I thought they looked really cool. Will have to see if I can dig out their old cards too

    • @ShatteredMatter
      @ShatteredMatter Před 2 lety +1

      Yeah, it's a great excuse to paint a sampling of every faction, and then some. I need to get off my behind and actually get them finished though...

    I like idea of a the Gateway Games Series. There are so many different miniature games out there beyond the core Games Workshop Warhammer Age of Sigmar and 40k. I like how you discussed both the game mechanics and the miniatures. Any thoughts about looking at mini agnostic systems like One Page Rules, Frostgrave/Stargrave, and Gaslands?

    "Space Hulk" was my gateway game, and to this day I play Genestealer Cults in all my skirmish activities. (I've deffo looked at some of the Underworlds warbands and asked myself, '... can I convert this into something usable in 40K?') As an adult with spending money, though, I went "Shadow War: Armageddon" -> "Kill Team 2018" as far as gateways go. 10-20 models a side, games lasting an average of an hour, fewer moving parts to remember under stress.

    A bit late to this video but it was quite prophetic as the Rivals format that followed has made this game even easier as a step in. I love it purely for the fact you get to sample some amazing character models from a faction without feeling the need to buy an army. And if you do, they can be used in AoS! Happy days. Always a fan of a good little beer and pretzels game that can be set up and played on the fly. Great vid. Looking forward to mooching through the channel.

    A gateway gaming series really appeals to me as I’m completely new to the hobby.

Definitely going to have a look at this.

    I picked up Bladeborn just before Christmas - it has cards in it that you can use with certain Underworlds warbands, plus rules/cards to use those warbands in WarCry.... making it a gateway game to a gateway game, while also being a gateway game to a skirmish game... which can also be considered a gateway game to Age of Sigmar. Once I realised that, I had to go and have a lie down...
    I love the idea of a gateway game series and I'll be tuning in for more - keep up the good work!

With the new season, I've tapped out but that's fine because there are so many great looking warbands already out which I haven't had the chance to look at yet, and I'm only interested in casual play.

    Just picked this up today. Grabbed the Direchasm boxset along with the Crimson Court and the Hexbane Hunters (both of which are just bad ass looking minis), because if you're going to have demons and vampires why not have some wicked looking witch hunters to throw down with them. And there's those elf guys too... but witch hunters! Plus, it's a nice bonus that there are Warcry stats for most of the earlier warbands and my son wants to get into Warcry, so win, win.
    A gateway games series is great. There are a lot of great games out there that many people don't know about that don't cost an arm and a leg to get into. Hell, I didn't even know they came out with a Terminator game until you featured it!

    Picked up a Direchasm box back in Nov and finally got all of the minis painted up last night. Great practice for painting armies you may not be familiar with (and has persuaded me that I never want to paint a whole lumineth army as models are teeny tiny and take ages to paint!). Not played any games yet but will try and persuade the mrs to give it a go 👍

      @@MSPaints I bought the "Hit the Beach" starter box - quite some bang for your buck. You have two forces and with the quick start guide it is easy to pick up and play.

    This was super useful, I got the Underworlds Crab warband set as a gift but would like to try the game out too.

    Great video, a series on gateway games would be good.

    Bought the starter set on this video's recommendation. Been fancying a simpler game to AoS and 40k for awhile.
