Kill Team is currently my favorite tabletop wargame and the models are my go-to GW miniatures.
The buffet aspect this is what I like about Kill Team—you can hop between factions without building a giant army each time.
The Dark Uprising box is massive; it might be ten to twenty pounds and it’s mostly terrain.
Warcry is basically the Horus Heresy equivalent for Age of Sigmar in how it positions its skirmish play and terrain.

Quotes (from this video)

The big reason that Necromunda is not on a three-year cycle is that it is a Forge World game, not GW proper.

Quotes (from this video)

I love the concept of Necromunda
the rules are just too much for me
this is my opinion
tabletop wargaming should be abstract maybe even sometimes a little bit vague
one-page rules is a great example
the rules are spread across multiple books and PDFs and whatnot
they added reactions they tweaked some stat numbers
how does Games Workshop fix this problem if they're actually even interested in doing that
basic game and then Advanced rules or optional rules
one-page rules is a great example of this

Quotes (from this video)

the big complaint amongst War Gamers is that it's hard to find people who will play any other game besides the 800B gorillas in the industry 40K and a of Sigmar
you need to find other people who probably live at least sort of near you to play with because these games are played in person
it's much easier for you to crank out all kinds of models to build all kinds of forces maybe Skirmish maybe even bigger if you don't mind painting armies
two heads are better than one
it's important to let people know that getting involved in your game doesn't preclude them from still playing the other war games that they enjoy
be the change that you want to see in the world
we're talking about games outside of Games Workshop so what do I mean when I talk about you know being an advocate for a game
