A guide to interpreting unit profiles in Warhammer: the Old World

In this episode we take a look at unit profiles, the nine characteristics that describe all units or models in Warhammer: the Old World, delving into what the different characteristics mean and how they will affect your units in play.

Great content. If anybody wishes to learn about TOW from the scientific approach instead of „he said she said”, your channel is probably the only now! And it’s not meta actually! It’s maths! Many thanks!

Thanks for your support, glad you’re enjoying the content.

This would be a great resource for newhammer players getting stuck into their first wargame

Glad you found it helpful, thanks for watching.

Great video like before! I would love a deep diving on charging, swift stride and Bretonian finest warhorses.

[@ScatterDieGuy]

Thanks so much for your support. Charging (including swiftstride etc) is definitely in the works - I’m working on something a bit different for the next video, then that’ll probably be the one after, so hopefully along in a couple of weeks.

Very good overviewm thank you! I would love to see an Empire deep dive from you especially focusing in infantry, e.g. weapon loadouts (halbers vs. spears or handguns vs. crossbows for example) and detachments.

[@ScatterDieGuy]

Thanks for the support.
Weapon choices are definitely on my list for a future video. Ultimately the “right” choice will often depend on the unit you are fighting against, but there’s definitely some good opportunity for a bit of mathematical analysis to give a good indication of which options are likely to serve you better in the majority of cases.

[@michaelf.7339]

@@ScatterDieGuyAgreed! Another factor that goes hand in hand with this is unit formation and especially frontage width.
