Of all the potential comments, on all the potential videos, you had to pull this one out of your hat. Please don’t perpetuate the mis-nicknaming of me. I did not consent. 😆
Super excited about this video! Would love to hear peoples take on their includes for events. Im gonna go all in on this faction when it comes out and would love to pick your brain about this faction :)
Be sure to check out Hits & Crits faction review video for Brotherhood. I join that video to discuss my thoughts as well. The video is a good overview of the faction. In Part Three of my faction identity video series, I’ll cover Brotherhood, so stay tuned!
Karstark Spearmen with Thoros Attachment is tough to face, if you need something that needs to survive these will be it. Its like a lesser Vets of NW with Watch Captain, they don't belong in D. But you aren't going out of your way to spend your ally slot on a 5pts Unit. Greta video :)
That’s an interesting use I hadn’t thought about. But then I guess it comes back to the opportunity cost question that you bring up: is it worth spending your Stark/Bara allowance on this unit? Probably not.
Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it! I’ve had a couple of requests for a Neutral video, so I might do a follow up video covering Neutrals in the next couple weeks.
I haven’t started putting that together yet. Neutrals are a bit weird. There are some good and decent options for sure, but any list that takes Stoneheart commander or NCU can’t take any Boltons, and that’s four neutral units right there. I might do a neutral video down the line and lump in a neutral commander review in Brotherhood in the same video.
@@imperialminis857 I look forward to it. I enjoy speculating over what may be good in an army build and having someone else's brain to pick is also great. Before this video came out I was only really considering 3 out for 30 combat units for the BwB until I fully considered the synergies
@MegaArmyCadet123 there are so many synergies to consider. I didn’t think of many of them until I was sitting down to produce this video, thinking about each individual unit in depth.
Well, in the S and A tiers together, there are 4 Stark units to 5 Baratheon units. I think the Baratheon units definitely have some distinct synergies with BwB in ways many Stark units do not.
No, it’s just a tier list thing. S is the top. I don’t know why, it’s just a tier list thing. It’s also a tier list thing that red = good and green = bad. I don’t pretend to understand it. 😁
S just stands for super or special, which is better than A or awesome. I believe the tier list originally came from competitive fighting games like smash Brothers and the lingo and tiers coverted over for other tier lists, hope this helps!
@ethantaylor9613 I view it as more of a cultural adoption and somewhat fascinating. It's similar to how certain words catch on as the usage becomes more widespread. I believe the internet is responsible for quicker adoption of certain ideas, even ones that most people wouldn't give a second thought to like a tier list. It has positives and negatives for sure, but it's fascinating in my book.
It’s commonly accepted and understood jargon in the parlance of the gaming world, and has been used in abundance in countless other tier lists, so here it is. In the absence of something more widely known or understood, it’s the best method for getting the point across.
Can you make a video about how thr gane has changed since Years? for example the sworn swords from Kickstarter hot with 8 dices, that was crazy , maybe a video for esch fsction how has changed
That sounds like an interesting idea. It would take a lot of research though since so much has changed. I don’t have first-hand knowledge of the beginning of the game, since I only came to the game shortly after Greyjoys launched. It’s a good idea though and something I’ll add to my list! Thanks for the idea.
I'm a huge fan as well Randy, excellent work.

Great video! could you also make a version with neutral units?

27:45 Bara Halbediers could be excellent with Catelyn commander… you really don’t want to charge into her… Taunt!
That’s definitely an unappealing target to charge into and a good way to get tokens out there!
Is there a Neutral units video in the works? Be keen to see yow the brotherhood can synergise with some neutral units

So what we learn from this is: tully cav or just use baratheon since they are way better in everything except heavy cav 😬
Well, in the S and A tiers together, there are 4 Stark units to 5 Baratheon units. I think the Baratheon units definitely have some distinct synergies with BwB in ways many Stark units do not.
The beserkers are are good unit but a boring sculpt for wild and crazy beserkers. They look more like grumpy walmart staff in the hardware dept.
The original sculpts are definitely low-energy looking. Do you think the newer sculpts are also lame?
“S” tier? Does S come before A in the alphabet?
No, it’s just a tier list thing. S is the top. I don’t know why, it’s just a tier list thing. It’s also a tier list thing that red = good and green = bad. I don’t pretend to understand it. 😁

@@unknownone5314 that makes sense from a historical perspective, but it’s also really dumb. I guess that makes it very true to life.
