- When Celonians captured Caladan IV, they had no idea they would need to deal with the sins of their fathers.
Join me as I play Five Parsecs Bug Hunt, and turn it into a new story episode set in the space opera universe of Veiled Space! And let me know what you think of the result!
This is part of a series of narrative let's play videos I have been doing for the Five Parsecs From Home solo miniatures wargame, but an independent episode were I try (and hopefully teach) how to play Bug Hunt, a stand along game that uses the same base system as Five Parsecs, but with it's own unique flavour right out of Aliens, Starship Troopers and similar movies.

Favorite Line: "Those are vent crawlers? How big are your vents?" 😳
A moment of sudden inspiration! (especially since I totally overdid it with those vent crawlers 😆)
My thoughts exactly.
This episode made me really sad. It was thoroughly enjoyable, just feel sorry for those guys.
Yeah, when they began to go down, I was really surprised at how lethal this game can be. And you got to roll to request evac! I failed, and figured it would only drag to their inevitable deaths, so...
But, good. I wanted people to have sympathy for them. I have a few more things planned out for the (near?) future. Celonians are not just evil aliens, and it will begin to show soon(ish)
Love the Commander’s “clever girl” moment! When the guide went around the corner… I’ve seen this Ridley movie. That fire team is laying down that laser fire! Are those unit types from big hunt?
Yeah. In Bug Hunt, you have only 3 characters, but each mission you can requisition minion units. In my case I got the basic Fire Squad, plus the Local Guide (allows to reroll tactical locations) and the Engineer Team (bonus on tech rolls)
How do you determine the wounded status? 2 Stuns?
If the damage roll is exactly equal to the target’s Toughness. And it's permanent, differently from Stun
It's an interesting rule tweak 5 Parsecs From Home doesn't have, and left my map full of living landmines blocking my path 😅
@@veiledspace Certainly makes things more interesting though. Nice Tweek.
Great episode. It translates really good the vibe of the game. It's like starship troopers. You go in with the feeling you can do this without any complications, you separate the crew, and in turn 3 the shit hits the fan. But I think this is intended in this game.
Exactly! I thought I learned my lesson with the Invasion, and that having more units would make it easier, but, wow, not at all. Quite an intense experience
This Particular incounter has some serious Starship Troopers Vibes going on. The one in the Vault was more Alians Vibes.
DAME THEY GOT GLASSED! Talk about going out with a bang but....DAME! Welp, thats why you Infantry became Mechanized infantry. Ya never know when your gonna need that little extra Dakka or a Quick Get Away. Or ya know, bring the Gunship with you. Their is a reason the Xcom/Pheonix Point boys always bring a APC/TANK.
The Bug Hunt rules are very close to what those movies were, and part of it is that you need to requisition support units with rolls. It makes the whole thing more intense. But no vehicles from what I saw.
Might be interesting to see things like artillery fire or things like that.
The evac ship helps when it appears, shooting with very strong weapons, but, as you can see in the video, it ALSO requires rolls to request, which doesn't always come 😒
@@veiledspace I see. The Dice Givith, the Dice takeith Away. Still, Grate Video.
This looks and sounds very awesome. How do you do the voice acting? AI + Audacity? :-)
Thanks! Recorder + tweaking the pitch and speed here and there. That's all me
@@veiledspace "pitch and speed here and there. That's all me"
Love it. A man of your talents!
You have a very entertaining way with the dialogue between rounds. I love these videos.
Hi.
how about doing a video on the scenery you used here and on other missions, the Sci-fi barrels and crates and maybe talk about you painting them. Its hard to freeze frame as your moving the camera about so fast for the gameplay, so I can't take in the great scenery.
Hello, Peter! Ive been thinking of doing something like that. I just need to fit it in the time I have 😅 that specific terrain was a long while ago and I has to get rid of some of it last years when I moved, but I'm sure I'll get back to that sort of thing very soon for the project I'm working on. Keep an eye out for the next videos 😉
I started with Bug Hunt. I think it is my favorite game. I also like how you can migrate your characters into 5 Parsecs seamlessly. Excellent game.
Yeah. I may try something like that in the future, starting with Bug Hunt, then going to 5 parsecs. Not sure if a lot of people will survive long enough, though 😅
Wow!!! I love the miniatures of the Ko-Ji Kom fire team, are they designed by you or they belong to other game and you are using them here? They look very "alien"👽👽👽
Hello! They are modified Grey Pulse Myriad & Drain Myriad from Warcradle's Wild West Exodus. Most of the modification I did was on their heads with greenstuff to fit the Veiled Space unverse. Took me a long while to find the perfect minis for them! The Engineering team is from Bones' Grey Alien Scientists (I think)
@@veiledspace I love them! Looking forward to watch the episode complete! I am just at the middle of it
@@linanrodI hope you are prepared for what happens 😅
Those Greys were hapless.
Everyone is in war and bug hunt :(
I really enjoy the extra special effects you take the time to put in!
❤️
Especially the ending!
