Reason why i like you to other reviewers
1. you have a soft subtle voice wich is great. your not shouting or repeating things to "try" to gain popularity / attention. Wich is great for easy listening and not bashing my ears and loud enough to not struggle hear what you are saying.
2. you review odd or off track products that other youtubers dont tend to review because there not mainstream products and this opens up to people buying new products.
3. You take your time and dont rush giving reviews "your own" opinion not being swaded by companies or influenced by outside sources.
Keep it going its great 👍
Quick tip - The resin shields and heads are so that you can make all of the Gauls aside from the command with shields. The heads for command figures are on the sprues with the regular warriors, and the way this is packed, there is an extra command sprue and you would be short 10 heads. So you get the resin heads to make up the difference.
I've also found that after you clean up the mould lines on the resins figures, if you run some Tamiya extra thin liquid cement over the cleaned lines, it smooths everything out really well.
Yeah they seem to be made of a plastic-based resin that styrene solvents can melt to some extent.
Mirela packed my Hail Caesar: Roman Invasion of Britain starter box too, real legend.
SPQR?!? This is indeed a beautiful surprise. Keep going girls!! It's one of my favorite channels!! Keep going and bringing us surprises like this!!! Love from Spain
One of the best starter sets this 42 year old man has ever seen. Many looking at this round my local clubs know fed up with GW
Sword 'n Steele is like the best gaming store I've seen. I hadn't even heard of this SPQR.
I've never heard of this game before. Just one more reason to keep watching Sword 'n' Steele. Great video. Thanks for sharing!
Warlord Games actually sell a box of naked warriors: Skyclad Warriors. Really.
Thank you for the unboxing.
I do enjoy the Warhammer world books from black library but was never interested in the table top but this looks interesting,i hope you try a game soon,great work.
YES YES YES historicals!
Nice of Warlord to send you that for an unboxing . Cant wait to see some game play video's .
Have a look at a company called Victrix , they do a really nice plastic range of ancient Greeks , Romans , Celts and Carthaginians ( including naked dude ) . 😁
I can vouch for Victrix's celts being historically-accurate in their equipment, except for the "naked fanatics"
The whole "Celts had mad naked warriors" thing is more of an ancient meme than anything. Gaulish mercenaries would market themselves around the mediterranean as being so _leet_ that they eschewed any clothing, but would then actually show up with textile armor like literally everyone else.
This actually looks pretty interesting. Thanks Warlord, Mirela and to you Naomi for bringing this to our attention.
Oh you do historical stuff too, that's fun!
Beautiful unboxing! 👍🏼
That Archer doing the face palm looking like he has made a terrible mistake is the best
Great looking miniatures! I'd love to see your paint & chat for this set.
love how much diversty there is on your channel.
Good morning! Thanks for a different unboxing, it’s interesting to know other games besides Warhammer.
Great stuff Naomi, such a diverse channel I've not really looked at historical minis before.....🤔 I'm sure I can hear my credit card crying
Great game. Played it myself and it is excellent. Look forward to seeing your battle report.
Awesome. I recently got some "GW fatigue", and the price tag on this box is way too good to be dismissed. Also have a lot of minis that will be compatible with the factions included, like Persians, Macedonians and Dacians.
Great to see some historical games on your channel, can't wait for a battle report!
Great to see you doing historicals. I'd like to see you do some Bolt Action from Warlord Games.
Fun little bit of history to add to this wonderful Saturday video: SPQR was the abbreviation for the Senatus Populusque Romanus, or The Roman Senate and People. They'd stamp it on monuments, documents, money, important things. However, please don't think I'm smart or anything … I actually learned that watching ManyATrueNerd's Rome: Total War videos lol
I learnt that reading Asterix as a kid.
Warlord Games has WW2 done really well, Bolt Action where we play Axis Vs U.S. /allies is done really well. You can play Polish, British, Russian, Italian, Japanese etc if you want also. Vehicles and infantry are well catered for and 4 Ground does good WW2 buildings. This game begs the question doesn't it. .. if it was Julius Caesar Vs king Leonidas of the Spartan 300, who would win ? 34:58 look at that display cabinet !
As much as he was a piece of shit Caeser won his battles 😉
You know SPQR is an abbreviation for Senatus Populusque Romanus is an emblematic abbreviated phrase referring to the government of the ancient Roman Republic.
Looking forward to a painting video of some of these models.;
Finally y’all doing historical
You go girl! Great review again and good on warlord games... this has got me interested!
No Asterix and Obelix for the gauls? I am disappointed.
Love the look into this box.
this looks great I might have to check it out! I've never played games set in Roman times !! thanks for the review of the starter set!! ♥️👍👍
Hey, thanks for this video, its really hard trying to find games like this even googling "roman miniature game"
Just wanted to say, you seem to have a little terminology mixup. "Flock" or "Flocking" refers to static grass used for terrain for minis and dioramas, meanwhile "mold lines", or as they're otherwise known (and where I'm suspecting a little confusion) "Flashing" is referring to the bits of plastic that are remnants of the mold process. Love the video!
Congratulations!!! These 'unboxing' videos are among the best I've seen on YT. Also loved your 'BOB' Bolt Action video... The Close Ups, (IN PERFECT FOCUS, other You Tubers!!!) really show off the product/s, miniatures to prospective buyers. You really take your time to show what's presented and it's clear you know your subject matter, (which I still think is WEIRD for A GIRL, but then I'm a VERY old Irishman) in fact, you're like AN ADVERT for The Canadian Department Of Education!!! More seriously, your diction, vocabulary and a rather 'laid-back' if enthusiastic presentational style really engage the viewer in an entertaining and informative way. Really Top-Notch You-Tubing!!! (You're also quite handy with a W&N Series 7, I notice!!!) After all these COMPLIMENTS, a REQUEST??? More HISTORICALS, please? xx SF
You spqr is interesting because now that you did a little hands on with it I can comprehend it and the interesting thing is like when painting your miniatures what color would you paint your things and in this spqr what did people in the past color their war gear and it was well what color do you want to paint your war gear and I'm Warhammer you can paint your war gear as if you were doing real war gear in the past so that's neat that you can pick what to color your war gear with in Warhammer. But they obviously made a selection well someone did who designed the color of the war gear used by whoever I believe those are called tailors. But that's one of the things about Warhammer you get to pick the color you want or would use like they did in the old days or spqr days not only colors but what to also design you things or items like the board on top the spear someontpit that there and again like I Warhammer you also get to select the items you wants by selecting the units or which units you want. This is exactly what Warhammer is and why it can exist or does it's the same thing as what so many others have done but now not doing anything so I cease this
Your videos are very interesting 😊👍
I wish I could play this game with someone
You might try the GameFor app to see if there are shops and players in your area. iamgamefor.com I hope that helps!
Looks like you are gonna have a lot to do :-) clueing and painting :-)
They've all been assembled 🥴 Just need to sit down and actually finish painting them 😄
I am really happy you’re doing this video my background is in historical miniature Gaming and just recently got into the fantasy so unfortunately as much as I love warlord games this rule said has a lot of issues with it you could have fun but I don’t think it is a fair representation of historical combat I love warlord very much and enjoy Bolt Action and their other offerings I just wish they could’ve done a better job with this real set if you want to try something fun which is also a little wonky please try warlords of Erewhon you won’t be disappointed
Caesar's commentaries are full of him having to buy pila for 3 denarii and helmets for 2 denarii each...on one occasion the legionaries even had to have a whip-round to cough up 25 for a standard!
Neat stuff I've wondered about this game.
You have definitely got it happening in his channel! Awesome stuff you are posting! So glad I subbed to your channel. This looks great. Consider doing any X-WING stuff?
I've played X-Wing and enjoyed it (Rebels here), but I cannot say yet whether we'll be able to add it in or not 🤷♀️
I hope there is a Vikings clan as well that would be awesome.
It's set too early but I have heard rumours of a dark age expansion in future.
@@JEKAZOL nice because the game looks interesting
Oh no, here we go again... Where's my wallet?! xD . Very nice unboxing, these minis make me think of the good ol days of Rome Total War! Thanks Naomi :D
love the great roman period but not many are into these war games
The "Gaul hero" on the horse looks like Insus (son of Vodullus of the Treveri) from Lancaster.
It does look good I may buy it but I already have100 celts so have to think about that. Nice one keep it up.
Looks like the archers are holding their arrows in a strange way....not aligned if you will
Other then that, great miniatures and cool unboxing
different kind of vid, but still great. keep up the good work sweetie.
dont ask me why but i try to save all those little thankyou cards i get...
Ciao grandissima brava come sempre bel video un abbraccio
This game looks like a lot of fun and almost scratches a Mordheim itch. What is $CAD MSRP?
These minis actually look really good for the price. Just need some hobby work is all.
New filming location Naomi?
Nice to see something other than GW
Just curious what SPQR stands for? I didn't find these figures anywhere locally.
Spqr is abbreviated Latin and would translate as something like "for the Senate and people of rome".
Thanks for reminding me on this one naomi. It looks really interesting and you definitely get value for money. This and Beastgrave have me quite excited for the coming months - too minis, too many games :) Do you plan on playing this at all?
I do! I'm not entirely sure when 😅 but I will be giving this a go, for certain :)
It's a shame Warlord could not invest in play testing and an editor.
I don't understand how they could be naked, are the model naked and you have to put clothes on them?
I havent seen befor that girls intrested about these games)) so nice and cute hehe.. good video thanks for sharing this game its brain new for me.. Big hello from Russia. ☺
No showing naked warrior miniatures? lol, whats a Sn'S going to do?
If I ever meet Naomi irl, I'll wear a cloak.
Huh?
@@Anjohl she said nice cloak 3ish times during the review.
Did I? XD It's true though, I can't say I wouldn't be impressed by a fine cloak XD
That reminds me of the glorious Warhammer Ancient Battles. do you play historical stuff?
I do :) Flames of War and Axis & Allies have been my latest games, but I think I'm going to enjoy this ancient Rome setting too!
GREAT VIDEO ! Are you going to run the romans or gauls ?
Thank you! ^_^
I'm not sure which I'll play, I'll have to try out both! I do like the idea of forming testudo and shield walls though 🤔
You are very welcome ! They used to have a testudo figure , do not know if they still do . Are you going to buy the SKY CLAD Gauls ?
If I do, no one will notice because I wouldn't want to put nudity warnings on my videos 😂
Why worry about it at all their equipment is tiny they are only 28 mm tall . I mean really people worry about a tiny toy soldiers dinky but not about the whole sale slaughter of people in the army . I really like your videos thank you for sharing . Any other armies you are thinking about ?
I'd like to try Budicca and Britain, and Leonidas and Sparta :D I'll have to read through the others more to see for sure though :)
as funny as it sound, some gaul were reallly going naked to battle
in latin the c is hard like a K.. sorry not a complaint ie Kay sar..
Caesers Legion?! They stole that from Fallout NV!
Strange how some of these models are sprue plastic and some are resin. 🤔
The plastic sprues are taken from existing Hail Caesar sets, the resin figures are new sculpts.
What a 😂
"Celtic" is pronounced with a "K", not a "S". It's the ancient people of Northern Europe, not the basketball team.
U can pronaunce it both ways ... and they are not ancient people of north europe they were spread out from todays Turkey to Spain and all the way up to the UK so basically all over the Europe .... please edjucate urself ....
She can pronounce it however she wants.... I'm listening lol
