    The Warcry community is incredible and we are constantly growing! There is so much space to explore from incredible narrative stories to be told all the way over to a really welcoming and robust competitive scene! Thanks for the kind words about a game so many love ❤
  • @scannerbarkly
    It's definitley the best game of theirs in the modern era, I feel. Just really nicely designed, has managed to avoid the unfortunate bloat that often claims games that have been around for a while, and really nice mini design.
  • @funkaoshi
    Warcry is the greatest! That first boxed set with all that terrain has to be one of the best boxed sets they have ever made. Love this game.
  • Let's go! Nice to see some more folks banging the drum for the best GW system around!

    Got my wife into Warcry cause she didn't like big games. Good when we have a spare 45 mins and still a really fun game. Cheers for the video Peachy

    Back in 1st edition, I used my AoS models, I bought years before for D&D. My favourite was a warband of Longbeards, and because of the slower movement of the dwarves, I gave the heroes tankards and used the horns from the warriors helmets as drinking horns on the rest of their belts 🙂 Not slow, just drunk!

    I CANNOT WAIT TO WATCH A 47 MINUTE VIDEO JUST TO VALIDATE MY PERSONAL BIAS TOWARDS THIS GAME!! ta
  • Warcry introduced me to skirmish games, I fell in love with it and have since bought every big story box, a few of the boxed warbands and some of the useful printed material. I have more Warcry than any other game system. Warcry also showed me how much more fun skirmish games were over the bigger table games.

    Oh no, here we go again. Edit: honestly I love warcry and I’m glad you made this video. I hope that whatever they do with next edition they keep it simple, fast and fun.
  • Those Skirmish boards of yours are so fantastic. I can't remember where I first saw them, I think it was White Dwarf. They inspired me to make 3 cork board terrain boards for warcry. This included a combat arena, a swamp and and a crypt. Thank you as always for your inspiration.
  • Warcry is excellent. I was genuinely surprised by not only how innovative it is but also how accessible it is, especially coming from GW. Can't recommend it enough! Thanks for sharing!
  • @AlexCopeMusic
    It's here! I was wondering when this video would get made
  • The fact that there were only tiny rules changes between Warcry 1 and Warcry 2 demonstrates the elegance of design. @wargamesontoast did a recent video explaining the downsides of the quick attack resolution…but we don’t care 😂 Do you think the game lost a little of what made it unique when there were/are fewer bespoke teams?

    Ben is a legend. If the store was empty and he could see Bugmans was getting slammed he would jump in and help out on the bar conti / pot wash / clear tables / whatever he could do to help. Thats the great thing about a dwarven bar - they are always short staffed.

    There is only one thing better than Warcry.... Peachy talking about Warcry!
  • @JoeFlamenco
    Warcry is what got me into Warhammer at all.
