Really cool-looking game and some interesting ideas and seems like a lot of variety. There's a big demo of this game at my local shop this weekend, which I am planning to attend. Great video!
I was hoping you’d review this!
Very good review. I had watched a few other, but no one of them realy answered my question. You did! Thank you.
euro elements on a skirmish miniature games, cinematic epic movements!!! hype is on!
Excellent review, Joel!! Been waiting to hear your thoughts on the game. I’m already 100% in myself. I’ve seen some initial other reviews weeks ago (from this point) and it wasn’t until I actually tried a Demo game at a store and so that was the moment I decided “This game’s for me” I’ve always liked smaller Skirmish style battles, loved the new AoS Skirmish but it carried some of the same problems regular AoS has. I.E. to hit mechanic, too many rules/spells/command abilities..... it gets to be a bit much! Regular AoS has grown arms and legs as well I just can’t keep up with!!
Warcry simplifies all of that, providing quick and easy super fun battles that I can actually fit in to my busy adult life!!
Now THIS is a review!
Been waiting for this video! Finishing up building (just 6 more chaos beasts to go) and priming this week and hopefully painting and playing this weekend. Very hyped for this game. I went all-in with Kill Team and while I enjoy it and want to play more, there's a lot going on with list building and rules. Not super easy to teach or remember rules for. I feel like WarCry will be the perfect game to build a few warbands and teach a friend quickly and get some games in.
Great review! Loved your Blackstone Fortress one too. You are becoming my go to Warhammer reviewer. Heck of a very talented painter too! Thanks for the review!
Thank you. Appreciate it!
Saw a demo of this at Essen today and my 9 year old son was really taken by this game. So I guess we are getting into war gaming now :) it is actually very well done for beginners.
I got the battle card pack with the victory conditions, twists and deployment. Also got the same terrain set you showed off towards the end. Hoping to try it soon as see if it catches on in my group. Worse case I got some very nice terrain and did not spend a lot on the cards. Most of the unit /warband stuff has also been spoiled on the web and will probably be in some apps soon...so really no reason not to try this out if you have some AoS stuff.
I was holding this in my game store on release day but decided to wait. I think I should have just bought it. I have a Stormcast and Nighthaunt army already and I think this could be the perfect way to get some of my non-Warhammer savvy friends into playing. Everything about this seems great.
661... Man, congrat's on having liked and sticked to this for this long! Happy to have you in the gaming community.
Thanks Yan!
Any chance of a battle report for this? ;) I do love all the ones you’ve done to date
Yep 100%. Getting through some more reviews of the new Gen Con releases first, but I'm itching to get some batreps done for this.
Drive Thru Games - Ah Yes, that’s great to know!!
@@DriveThruReview yes yes yes! please dont use default teams use some ironjaws or bonesplitterz everything but the default, all battle report on the internet are using default team…
I love this game so can’t wait to watch this!!
Great review and good to see you love the game as well. This has become my go to skirmish/minis game as its fast, simple to learn hard to master and the aesthetic is just amazing!
Joel, would you recommend WarCry or Warhammer Underworlds as a newbie skirmish-gamer starting point? Is Underworlds a gateway into WarCry or are they both starting points?
Probably Underworlds first. You can use some of the models in Warcry if you want to move into it. I prefer Warcry overall though personally.
I'm late to this video, but if you're looking here still, have you listened to So Very Wrong About Game's analysis of Warcry? If yes, what would be your response?
Skimmed. Disagree. It's not a scrum unless you make it so. Some missions will lend themselves to that for sure. But others spread things out. But use a faction with some range and that goes right out the window. Or use a faction that can have many screening units. You can play a huge variety setups... etc.. /shrug
@@DriveThruReview Thanks very much! The scrum comment was on my mind as I already have too many games that are primarily that... so, good to hear it's not so. :)
Thanks for the review! Was looking forward to it. How would you compare it to aos.. i mean as a game that give you personal experiences.. since aos was your top title recently? ^.^ would warcry be in your top 10..and beat aos?! xD just curious.. since i got into frostgrave (and now warcry) bc of your top title clip =)
I would say as far as the "experience" side... it's close... to AoS and Frostgrave. AoS and Frostgrave still have a good chunk more going on to keep me invested and constantly thinking about the game even when I'm not playing it. This is just the initial blush of Warcry though. I think in a year or two, with an expansion it may climb up that high for me. It's MUCH easier to just pick up and play though.
@@DriveThruReview i see. Wow, thank you for the blitz like answer! =D looking forward to glue the base game factions and the cabale nd fangs..nd play maybe a 3 player game this weekend x) or froatgrave 3 players with this terrain and some more ^^.
Thanks for this.
The GW line and almost Venn diagram of systems they have now can be overwhelming. Question for you Joel, why not the new Necromunda?
I love Necromunda. And Kill Team. I'm a bit of a junkie for skirmish games to be honest. Necromunda is A LOT to take in and grok and crunch through though. At this point, it's more RPG than mini skirmish game, but I love it for that.
@@DriveThruReview I look forward to a review from you on the new Kill Team set (although maybe it'll be too similar to the previous set that you won't have a reason to post anything). The terrain it offers is obviously meant to cross over into Necromunda. Going to be tough to resist.
@@koomo801 Ya not sure I'll post a review of it. I will try and get another batrep done though. :)
Thx for nice review Joel! :)
Although I (aka. my wallet) prefer Kill Team - I am hoping that GW adds those awsome card decks to KT also! Its such a neat idea a and speeds up setup a lot = no more looking for a mission in 4 books!
I could see that. They have similar concepts in 40k and AoS proper as well.
Drive Thru Games So only KT remains - hopefully it will be its next expansion
Hi Joel, nice review..you added information I was not aware of in regards to campaign elements, cheers. Also, have you seen the upcoming add on for blackstone fortress? Looks great, called escalation I believe 😁
Yep. I'm in :)
I am on the fence on this game. I want it and love the models but at the same time, every box I have seen says it only comes with the terrain, cards, tokens and has no mention of figures.
The box reviewed here of course comes with everything. You might be seeing terrain packs. There are also separate packs for the different warbands. Which is actually a great option. If you don't like the terrain or factions in this starter, you could buy a separate terrain pack with the faction you like separately as well.
@@DriveThruReview Ok makes sense. Thanks for the information. Now to convince the wife to let me buy this.
Trying to finish more of my tomb kings to play them in this!
As Legions of Nagash?
Yes
Shadespire, Necromunda, Kill Team, this and I know I am missing at least one other squad based game that all fall into this same bucket. That's only counting GW games. I wonder how long these can keep releasing and still be supported.
That's a good question. I think all of them. Most people I know who are into these games are only into one of them.
Eric Finely - I’ve heard that Warcry will be supported for at least 2 years. This could include White Dwarf, new Warbands, new Card packs, new Terrain packs, maybe I’m thinking a new card pack for playing games as well? This is all my speculation, but still I heard supporting game for 2 years. I think 2+ Tough May have mentioned that?!
Ya. That's an official statement from GW re: "two years of support". I assume that means "at least two years".
So... Kill Team for Age of Sigmar?
Sort of. More like Necromunda (more narrative).
@@DriveThruReview Cool, yeah I did more research and based on that and your review I bought the starter. Play my first game tomorrow.
Looks cool but I've already invested in Kings of War: Vanguard.
Good thing it doesn't have a solo mode or I'd go broke buying absolutely everything for it!! 😆
This looks great, though! If KoW:V hadn't come out first I might have jumped on board!
I honestly think the core box is worth it just for the terrain, with a simple but fun game as an added bonus.
@@bumblescrump5752 You must not live in Australia! 😆
The core box is over $250AUD!! That's over £140, €153 or $170 US dollars
Compared to the price of terrain I can get from Mantic, GF9, 4Ground and tonnes of others, the value isn't that great at all.
Still, looks good but without a solo mode I can't justify the cost.
vanguard is great
360p resolution?
I’m watching in 1080p? Might be set to auto resolution
Ya must be a refresh or cache issue. I'm seeing I can put it up to 4k resolution.
