Love Thrud the barbarian. Some great character names such as To-Me Ku-Pa or Sir Percival Pursuivant and the Magnificent Seven Knights of Saint Simeon The Saintly.

It's such a shame to introduce them by only mentioning their games workshop exploits. That's such a Warhammer fanboy thing to do, especially considering all their best work and their Magnum opus is in their own historical company.

Best game GW ever produced by a mile! With 3d printing and free rules right now it’s very easy to get into. The current rules are amazing and the game is incredibly balanced.

“Sales were not as epic on scale…” I see what you did there.

10/10 Interview. Love hearing experts talk about their thing. I was lucky enough to get a Grim Tarock set, I think it's a lovely artefact. Probably spent a little too long trying to figure out what the suits correspond to. IMO, Citadels = Cups. Pentacles = Chaos. Trees = Wands. Fish = Swords.

Hi Martha!

Working on my seventh army. Love this game!

Warmaster is still alive and well. Not only the original but Warmaster Revolution has a strong player community.

It also gave us a fully realized Araby army for once!

Your show is fantastic. I love it Greatings from sweden.

the game had more factions than the base edition of fantasy battle at the time, with the ablity to field Albion, Araby, Kislev and Hrud (yes really) armies, its a shame they didn't get adopted back into fantasy proper

The community has kept it alive and well! I can’t stop printing armies and terrain for it!!

New here and love it😊

Warmaster had a renaissance thanks to 3d printing. There's a ton of companies doing minihammer stuff these days. People love it since small figures take a little space, are faster to paint and are easier to transport. Rick Priestley reused the rules for Black Powder.

At my local gaming club there is a small Warmaster player base. Never played myself, but damn the armies look good on the table.

Warmaster is responsible for getting me into tabletop gaming when I was 15. Still have all my high elves and should probably finish painting them. Haha.

I used to play at the US headquarters store. I remember when Warmaster came out. It may have a good rule set but no one was interested. For months they used to have a table with it set up at the front, and no one wanted to play it. It just wasn't a good fit and other projects could have used the support.

Always thought this was the "correct" scale for Warhammer. Rank-and-flank games never quite fit at 25mm, whereas having the huge blocks of Infantry looks properly epic on the table. I'm slowly painting a bunch of Warmadyer I've collected over the years and it looks great on the table.

Man. I forgot about the Middle Earth set. I’d love to have that now. Got the Warmaster book but never bought any models. I think I was daunted by the scale.

Warmaster is a great game. I play warmaster revolutions and its community keeps it going brilliantly. Loads of cheap 3d prints too for your army.

Unpopular Opinion: GW can make some fantastic models (thought it's hard to justify the price tag). However, their wargame rules are, at best: Mediocre. They'd be better off licensing the IP to other companies to make their rules for them- and have variations of their war games. GW could then just focus on making models.

Not to dismiss Warmaster fans but GW did the right thing pushing Gorkamorka forward over Warmaster.

The Warmaster ruleset would later be used by Priestley as the "blueprint" for the Black Powder ruleset, published by Warlord Games!

I wish they had believed better about Gorkamorka but then they don’t really like to think about us customers customising our own toys because they only want to sell us more of the same toys without having to recreate newer versions of them, unless they are space marines that is 😟

That's a game I'd like to try out one day, although it has to be with original metal miniatures and those are quite hard to come by these days.

I know space marines sales alone eclipsed all of fantasy's sales but this was the death stroke for my gaming group. (18 of us) We had all given up on 40k at third/fourth edition and fantasy was our weekly game. We were all in our 30s and power buyers. (When the new skaven book came out I dropped thousands in a fortnight to get an army together and that wasn't uncommon) but AOS was too much of a departure and no longer a big battle game. We all walked away from ttg as a whole at that point and that's really sad. Occasional blood bowl or necromunda is all we play whenever we play these days... so many dusty armies....

My tabletop group was about to start a playtest of Alternity Darkmatter system tonight, and I checked this out to have a bit of a primer - i may have picked the right game to join

Wow, this was an amazing interview. I worked in the homeless sector in Edinburgh a few years back, and did some gaming with residents. Blood bowl and Space Hulk were big hits! I'm going to drop Gary an email.

Still loving these compilations, Jordan, great idea! I need to dig out my Thrudd comics...

I've still got some of the old White Dwarfs with the Thrudd cartoons.

A lot here I never got my hands on. I was just too young for some of it. Anything Rick Priestly, William King, Blanch or Adrian Smith I'd still consider core material. Oh and Thrud! Long live Thrud! At least I got Life of Sigmar in the early 2000's and some early WD's. Jordan can probably guess my 1st issue just by one name, Dundesh the Black!

Bitter Sweet watching your videos. They are great and informative, but by Sigmar, do they make me want to go back to the 80's and 90's and do it all over again 🙂🙂 What a time to be alive (and gaming)

the old world ftw !

It's not Slambo, it's SLAMBOOOOOOOOOOO!

Great chat - The Perry’s are such legends, a mountain of information and incredible contribution to miniature wargames. Saved this one to listen to properly and wasn’t disappointed. Thanks Jordan.

What a complete mad lad old gent!

I was away from GW games for nearly three decades and your video explained so much I like the concept and execution of Spearhead. Not sure I want to do any 2,000 point AOS armies. But those new Seraphon miniatures sure make me want to build an all dinosaur army. Carnosaurs, Aggradons, Raptadons, and Stegadons. I'm doomed.

Any chance you do a video about 3rd and 4th edition, the novel, white dwarf content, etc.

Excellent video. I remember playing 1st edition, and like you I credit Silver Tower for hooking me on AoS. It remains a tremendous game. You should get the designer on for an interview....

My favorite dwarf is Ungrim, because what is "ungrim" if not just a dwarfy way to say "happy." The dwarf king is named "happy".

Very informative. I appreciate the attention to detail.

There's also the undead supplement, in citadel journal I think.

This has just popped up on my feed, i had a copy as a kid. Forgot i got it from games workshop.

Thankyou for doing this! Moulding and casting is an art I'm worried we might loose with time so I appreciate you covering this a lot.

Really enjoying your videos. Keep up the great work - this is becoming one of my favourite channels. Thanks!

One very important thing for me was changing how all the background narrative went from an "in-world" perspective back to a detached "eye-of-god" perspective. Though, to be fair, this had already crept in during late 6th edition. Seeing as this has been the standard both before and after 6th ed, it probably makes more sense to talk about 6th ed as an outlier. Either way, for me, this moved the background stories from being colourful and exiting and awesome to something rather formulaic and stale and boring. It didn't help that all the story progress of 6th ed was ignored/retconned as you mentioned. It became even worse and more stagnant with 8th ed, I struggle to read the background of an 8th ed army book to this day. Background used to be story and narrative in 6th ed, in 7th/8th it morphed into product description. This was kind of my falling out with the old world background, and is also the reason I don't care for TOW now...

Kharadron Overlords. Hands down.

All I know is we had a game, with 8th. Then we were given a steaming pile of half baked BS. The agreement had been changed and i did not agree with the slop they were peddling. From what I saw of aos 2.0 they had made a game finally. Imbalanced AF so a game I had no interest in. When I can get almost 4k worth of models on the table in a 2k game. Someone has made errors. Tried tzeentch saying it was funny and painful is a half truth. The endless spell exploitation was funny. The list was painful. Honestly when GW dumped aos 1.0 out. I was already on my way out. I had been neck deep into warmachine for 5 or 6 years at that point. I was only playing whfb because friends kept on insisting. So for me walking away was easy. I had sold off 4 of my 5 whfb armies. I held onto my daemons for 2 reasons they work in both systems and they really don't change much model/unit wise. So if a friend ever wanted a game we could play. We also used them for dnd, 9th age and kings of war. Things changed when warmachine mkiii wrecked the community, I got dragged back into 40k... what I found with 8tb ed 40k, was pleasant enough. Then ironhands happened. Thar is when I checked out aos 2.0, slaanesh was busted, khorne needed morrals not a daemon army your mortal woes sre nit my problem, tzeentch was a troll army for the player and opponent. And i still hate nurgle. So i just quit GW.
