Quotes (from this video)
  • this Channel's purpose is to help get people into the wargaming and Miniatures hobby
  • the following things are what I'd be doing if I was just starting now in 2024 with the benefit of knowledge that I've gained over the last 20 years
  • in my opinion my minifactory is the best Marketplace to find stls for wargaming models
  • files like that are committing intellectual property theft
  • as a Creator myself I'm completely against that kind of thing
  • the absolutely amazing amount of choice that's available and the fact that the models even when you factor in the STL cost and like the printing resin cost and all that kind of stuff they are wildly cheaper than the models on offer from the biggest companies in the industry like Games Workshop for example
  • so that's Miniatures but what about the games that you play with these Miniatures
  • OnePage Rules is probably your smartest move
  • they have arguably the best army building website in the entire industry
  • War Cry is probably the best rule set that Game Workshop currently makes in my opinion and in other people's opinions as well
  • if I was getting into wargaming today in 2024 and I decided that I had to get into Warhammer and Games Workshop related stuff what would I do
  • if they don't turn those like $140 Vanguard boxes that they currently have for Age of Sigmar if they don't turn those into basically combat patrols for ages Sigmar then I think they're kind of Dum
  • that covers everything doesn't it it does not actually

Quotes (from this video)
  • I don't not every game needs to have deep lore Some people just want to play fun games Some people want to take the lore from game a and bring it into a game B where they like the rules better
  • lore is interchangeable so you know one of my favorite games out there is space weirdos it has literally no lore it's fine I make up lore on the Fly
  • I like the fact that they're giving you options to play with the models you already have without having to go through and go geez I don't know what are they trying to get a point like what is this again you're like well these guys are supposed to be tyranids oh well it didn't come across as tyranids or whatever I have a whole bunch of tyranids and so I should use this
  • the rules are generic not the lore
  • Are they officially model agnostic I mean sure yeah you can use whatever ever models you want I mean to be fair every game is officially model agnostic even if they don't say it is it is
  • I just don't like moving them in a chunk I like being able to move them separately I don't like that that just here's a thing and the the type of play where it's like well this part has to wheel over and do this and then then you're attacking from a flank
  • rivenstone is the game that you're talking about
  • the problem is this well it's not the problem here's the most recent answer they still haven't produced the stuff yet but the most recent email I got from them which I think was in July was them saying another company is basically buying the game from us and they will do the production and the the Fulfillment

  • HOAs are a blight on this country.
  • My first videos were shot on a Nikon D5100, which I had to trick into shooting, well, that's not true. I didn't have to trick it into shooting video. I had to trick it into kind of giving me manual control of how I shot video.

  • This stuff looks like it came straight out of Dawn of War video game.
  • I used rattle can primer on my last metal minis. It's what I did with my old 40k minis as well.
  • The game itself can be very standalone. You can use whatever miniatures you want. It's very miniature agnostic.
  • The games play very quickly because it's um it's not about like, oh, I've got five wounds. It's like, oop, I got shot. That guy's out.
  • I'm leaving because 40k is constantly changing the rules or I'm leaving because it's too expensive.
  • Don't get into 40k unless it is the first year of their three-year cycle. That's probably a good piece of advice for sure. If you're going to get into 40k, do it when a new edition comes out. That's the best time, and it's still not a great time.
  • GW have been real weird about the way they've been dealing with stores lately.
  • It's a multi-billion dollar market cap company and you guys can't have a like a website backend for people to put their orders in. You got to use Google Docs. Are you crazy?
  • Space Station Zero is probably my second favorite if I had to choose. My first favorite probably being um Majestic 13.
  • It was definitely uh was a was a thing that we did a lot uh at the uh there when we lived over there on uh that place burned down.

  • any miniature war game can be miniatures agnostic if you believe in yourself.
  • Nearly all Warhammer miniatures will work well with the games from OnePage Rules.
  • If you don't want to try miniature agnostic games because you can't leave the models of Games Workshop behind, now you have a bunch of Warhammer models that will work in tons of miniature agnostic games.

  • Onepage rules is a small company that makes rules for whatever miniatures you want to use.
  • The rules are mostly free or maybe five bucks if you want like the advanced version with all kinds of like modular add-ons and customization and all that kind of stuff.
  • It's not an affiliate link. I don't think that Mini My Minifactory does those, but they should, right?
  • This news was released on April 14th, and it's about the Worlds Beyond Brawl.
  • If you sign up to get notified of when the thing launches, then you'll also get two free STLs like right away.

  • Star Wars Legion terrain is almost always the best.
  • OPR skirmish is a breath of fresh air compared to Kill Team.

Quotes (from this video)
  • However, the folks at OnePage Rules did something really interesting recently, and I thought I'd talk about it here by talking a little bit about video games first.
  • Now, I'll admit I'm absolutely looking forward to playing GTA 6 as soon as that comes out this fall.
  • Mostly these days I play, you know, rogue likes and rogue lights.
  • And honestly, it reminds me very much of a roglike style video game, except that you're not playing as an egg named potato, you know, but other than that.
  • As is the way with games from one page rules, how you play is always up to you.
  • As you fight, you will start to gain bonuses that you can apply to your troops or war bands or heroes, whatever, which is also very much like video game rogue likes.
