Man I love Warcry! Been trying to get my killteam buddies into it, just told them "It's like killteam but fun!" and you get to list build other then what weapons your gunners are goin to have
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 ❤
I have the older sets! The Red Harvest Box and the Catacombs box. But I really love the look of some of the new warbands like the Kruleboyz Monsta-Hunters and the Questor Soulsworn. Can I mix and match the old stuff without too much trouble?
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.
How wonderful to see that you have a six year old son! When all is said and done, the greatest game is LIFE. Sharing it with your kids can't be beat. My son is 28, married and still paints and games. It's a lifelong bond between us ❤
A couple of guys in my KT oriented gaming group have been getting into Warcry recently. One of the most striking things is hearing laughter coming from the Warcry tables. I look over to the Killteam players and its all frowns and deep concentration. Not knocking that kind of play or the folks who like it, but I want to be on the fun tables! This video is the last nudge I needed!
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.
I watch YOU GOATS do kill team. Did your warcry vid not get as much love? My gaming group is fixed on kill team at the minute...warcry was too fluffy for some of the crunchier ones
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.
This is the game that motivated me to get into miniature games. The beginner set box was fully loaded and very exciting to pick up. I must have played 40 games, I have around twenty warbands, I have played around twelve miniatures games since then and I regularly come back to Warcry because it's easy to memorize, with quite a bit of options for composing a warband and above all lots of scenarios, setting arrangements, adventures. It's very cool, my favorite GW game (I like Killteam but it's definitely clunkier in terms of wording)
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!
Algorithm posting. Loving hearing you on the Juggz podcast. Very very keen to hear you talk about Mordheim! I’ve always found warcry interesting, almost too many things to choose between Gonna make a dwarf mordheim band with the MtO and imperial dwarfs ;)
I really liked the Catacombs box for having the double sided board with two different sets of terrain for the different environments. It's great when you buy a starter to have that variety right out of the box. I'm really looking forward to a new edition launch with [hopefully] another big box for which to get excited.
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!
Peachy , you got me onto warcry and yeah it's really good . Quick to set up and play , a good amount of tactical depth and setting up plays and getting a game in around 30mins is fantastic !
The initiative roll balancing with special abilities is the absolute best I have seen in a game. Such a elegant solution to determine first player compared to clumsy roll off for highest that most other games use.
Love the video! As of right now those war bands are currently available. The announcement was aimed at AOS saying those would be removed. It’s unclear if they are leaving war cry. I think they majorly dropped the ball on clarifying the future of warcry.
Love the video. This has probably been talked about but if you use a 'wait', that is an action. if you move and then wait, that effectively ends the turn, the only way to save an action is to use wait as your 1st action. Then you can activate again later with one action or react.
One of my favorite games from GW. These days I love most of the skirmish stuff like this, Kill Team, and especially Necromunda. Very cool. Plus Warcry is special to me as I am part of the ATC crew in America and we got the reveal of the game and it always has a special place in my heart.
Love this game :) The rules are simple to understand but theres so many tactical decision making with the dice. I came in at Catacombs, really liked how it gave you the undergrown and above ground ruins terrain. I've collected all the new Ghur boxes, the models are amazing and I wanted all the forest terrain
Creating your own highly professional looking character cards is so awesome - especially the Star Wars cards. The Seraphim Spaceship looks exactly like a cool Lustria temple - no problem there, as far as I can see.
For what it's worth, back when GW had the Fanatic Design Studio twenty years ago, you could download all the rules for "Blood Bowl" and "Battlefleet Gothic"...which was really cool.
Yes! I adore Warcry! It's a brilliant game which got my local club back into being super hyped about gaming again! Ran a narrative weekend event and it was such a blast
I loved 1st edition Warcry. Hav'nt played 2nd yet but I still have my Ogre Icepelt hunter and his pack of frost sabres somewhere so I'll need to try it sometime.
It is by far the best game GW have done! The rules are easy to learn but still smart. I would love for it to be on a bit bigger board, but i think it could be done with house rules and a bit of tinkering.
The warbands are still available! They've been popping back in and out of stock since the announcement of discontinuing all those Stormcast... Corvus Cabal and Unmade currently in stock on GW webstore, the rest 'temporarily out of stock'. So you can still pick up the super cool warbands. 😁
@@PeachyTips Yeah it looks like their deaths were greatly exhaggerated, presumably it was primarily about getting them out of the S2D roster rather than Warcry itself but who knows.
@@PeachyTips As far as I am aware they are not going to be around in AoS in a year, but still valid in Warcy. They latest metawatch and updates included them so it shows they are still getting some love, but whether they will keep being made is uncertain, but they have been coming back in to stock on the site. Was very happy to grab Corvus Cabal after trying to get it for 2 years after the warehouse sort GW did. Also if they did stop support for them I mean... if you're playing casual I am sure most people would be 100% cool with them being used still. Horns of Hashut however maaaay be because they are going in to the rumoured Chaos Dwarf army that is coming up. New maps and lore really make it seem like they are coming soon.
I got the mawtribe warband 50% because your praise for warcry and 50% because they look really cool. Loved the video and warcry is super fun! Looking at necromunda now for similar reasons 😂
Well good news m8 - those older warbands are still available they're just currently online only now, i think the "removal" factor was just them taking them out of the main game AOS. BUT just to be safe if they do have any older warbands people want then i suggest you grab them incase they do vanish for whatever reason. Personally i love the spaceship concept i think its awesome and hilarious, the joke they made on warhammer weekly was wouldn't it be amazing if they came out with a new BFG game except in age of sigmar instead - We could call it Battletoad gothic. :D
Great video for someone who knows nothing about it like me! Warcry and Underworlds consistently have the coolest models whenever I watch a GW preview stream but the chat is always "boring! nobody plays this! we want space marines!" etc lol. A real bummer GW has killed the old warbands, they look so good. I'm honestly surprised such a "limited" scope game released in the first place (just chaos guys?) instead of being all of AoS factions involved? I guess The Suits weren't watching and the team could do what they wanted at the time? Or conversely, they were told to be limited in scope so if it didn't do well, not much effort had been involved? I guess we will never know (unless Jordan Sorcery does a video on it).
Warcry is an absolutely fantastic game. Easy to learn and easy to teach. It's the game I would use to introduce anyone into tabletop wargaming. Indeed it's the game I play with my daughters (9+14), who picked up the rules quickly and love playing the game. The models are brilliant, and with the small amount of models needed for each warband, it allows people to collect different ones without breaking the bank. I really hope GW keeps supporting the game. It really should be getting promoted in their stores, encouraging new players into taking part in the hobby. I really wish they had used the Warcry rules for Kill Team, as it would have made that game far more accessible. Anyway fantastic video Mr Peach. Keep up the great work, and keep promoting these lesser known games.
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.
you can do reasonably good cards using your home printer. Commercially printed cards are about 300gsm, out of specially laminated card stock, getting the laminated card stock can be tricky / expensive but 300gsm printer paper is a fairly close match particularly if the cards are just being used as a reference. The other component is a wax coating, you can get a fairly good facsimile using a mineral oil based paste-wax and buffing it. (There are two types of paste wax, the other is mineral spirits based and will make the ink on your card run). You can make your own paste-wax by placing 50/50 bees wax and mineral oil in a sacrificial saucepan, heating it until the wax melts, pouring the mixture into a container and waiting for it to cool. Adding harder waxes like microcrystaline wax to the mix will result in shinier paste.
My area has a really active Warcry community full of amazing people. I think I've already played in 9 events this year (including tournaments, campaigns, and leagues). I really cant recommend Warcry enough, its by far my favorite tabletop game!
Sundered Fate box is a pretty great pickup for anyone looking over the fence from the 40k side of things. Especially Killteam players. For ~130 US You get a pretty generous helping of terrain that works great as a Nurgly swamp environment and the Askurgan Trueblades models were what a lot of Eldar players were using for Mandrakes before the newest killteam release. I think you need 2-3 extra models to run them as proxies for the Mandrake KT, but you can find those loose (in metal, resin, or the new plastic) for pretty cheap. And then you've just got a bunch of lizardmen to muck around with. They aren't all that stacked, but if you're in the market for the style of terrain included a lot of the Warcry boxes work out to ~$50 two factions and their campaign book.
When are you gonna make some battle reports with the juggs crew? You talk so passionate about these game systems(frostgrave, warcry and silver bayonet) I think people would really enjoy seeing you play it. Edit: really enjoyed the one you did on 'game night'
Well I’m looking to do another battle report with Games Night, which will be super fun, I’m currently filming some solo play narrative style batreps for my channel. In regards to stuff with JUGGZ myself, Sugs and Rob have definitely talked about that, not sure when that’ll happen
So even if they don’t produce any more new sets or warbands for Warcry, the earlier editions/boxes/warbands are still ‘alive’ and can still be played. Your ideas of creating your own warbands and so on is a great idea and takes the bite out of the possibility of less love from the source. I love the idea of making Kill Team using the Warcry card generator and might use that to teach 40K Warcry to my son who is a Science Fiction fan!
Love this video. Again your passion for the game clearly comes across. Your Sister of Sigmar look amazing. Please do a video about how you kitbashed them. I was given the Redharvest boxset some time ago but it's in my pile of future projects.
Peachy you are awesome!! I Love Warcry, was hesitant to go 2.0 but I think it’s a better rule set. I was also disappointed about the cards, I had so many 1.0 cards!! I also like the red color better, but I suppose I’ll get used to the gold?! So glad you have your own Channel now. Duncan too!!
What are the sisters of battle-looking units at 3:55? I would go nuts if they had an AOS counterpart. Maybe kit bashed but then what rules do you use with them? Edit: Oof, watch the whole video before commenting, I guess. I love the Sisters you made.
Absolutely love Warcry, it is such a good game, so easy to learn that you can play it with your kids, doesnt take up much room and inspires you to make your own story with your custom warband. It still has enough complexity , despite the simplicity, to have fun tactics and the Warcry community is really, really great, so friendly and honestly, in my experience, the most welcoming and chill of the warhammer communities I have seen so far. Wholeheartedly reccomend joining the Warcry discord for anyone that plays as you will find any help you need there from great people.
Nice work I like the star wars idea. Never played aos style games. Old hammer age do you reckon you could make up some 40k cards? As a long time 40k player I just can't be bothered to learn/rebuy codex for 10th ed so we play with a modified 8th.
Frostgrave, Silver Bayonet and now Warcry?! Peachy this contagious passion of yours is starting to get expensive! 😂 In all seriousness though I love the talking head videos! 👍🍑
Peachy casually showing he's a fan of Republic Commando by showing off Sev and Boss 😂 As someone who plays Kill Team, I have to agree that rules that you don't have to struggle to remember sounds amazing!! In terms of story, I feel that fantasy (as a genre) is easier to make stories for scenarios like warcry as you said used to be about warbands trying to gain the attention of Archaon or the chaos gods has so much potential for stories. Kill Team is a bit harder in my opinion to make a story to not sure if that's due to the existing lore or if I'm just used to fantasy stuff more. Great video Peachy also your not the only one who hasn't done anything with you Shadowstalkers 😂
One of my favorite systems ive ever touched. I truly wish if they could manage to create a more affordable starter that was like crypt of blood but with cardboard terrain it would be one of the easiest sells to a new wargamer for sure.
Life Long and Prosper ... Not only Warcry, Daughters of Khaine but you too Peachy. Glad to hear that you seen the Warcry light, may it lead you onwards over frosty graves into the depths of the shadow range with the old trusty silver bajonet ... Warcry rocks and has become my main game too. But Peachy I see another amazing box in the background of your video ... One I call 'mini warcry ' one I am so proud to have in my collection too ... Bladeborn I even play it with measuring distances instead of hexes just so that I had to do less converting non supported underworlds warbands ... Next video should be about Bladeborn please ... A Gem in the game collection. All the best, nice video again. Signing of here for today. Until one of your future episodes ... Keep the good stuff rolling
Cheers for this, lots of cool things on the horizon for sure, and yeah I’ll have to crack open that bladeborn set for a video too, the only downside is its only available in the US I believe….oh and Warhammer world
@@PeachyTips True not an easy box to get in english in mainland europe. But so glad I did manage to snag one from across the atlantic. I hope you have the supported underworlds warbands for it too. Will keep an eye out on your next tips ... Great stuff ... Just as your twitch campaign was ...
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.
Great vid, love this game so much, and your take on the rule set really encapsulates why. All of your Warcry content over the years, going back to your Stormcast interviews in the studio days, I think have done this game and its community a great service. Unfortunately my beloved Iron Golems were the main collection that I actually gamed with out of everything that I collected for different GW games and settings over many years. The decimation of that original ecosystem of chaos tribes in the Eightpoints that I fell in love with and invested so much time, money, and creative energy in has kinda soured me on things. As you said, even a Warband from the release box for the current edition got the axe. I hope one day to try to get back on the horse, but I'm struggling to feel like I can through myself into it again... I'd love to hear you or the Juggz Crew (feels weird to type that) talk about tips on how to grapple with that "post squatting despair/burnout" phenomenon.
Yeah I can imagine the frustration regarding that, I’d built a whole slaves to darkness army using my warbands….well that’s dead now. Some folks have mentioned in this comments section that the Warcry warbands have just been axed from AoS, but still available in Warcry 🤷♂️ I’m hugely confused by this lol
Firstly love Warcry, really want to play more!! My theory on the disappearing war bands is so they don’t need to make rules for them for Sigmar 4. They seem to be all the war bands that aren’t part of a AoS faction. It’s not a perfect theory, but looking quickly at it, that’s how it seems.
That’s a great observation, I forgot to put in the vid that my entire slaves to darkness army is made up of Warcry warbands lol, yet another army I can’t use……officially 🤣👍
Great video about a game I really like. Unfortunately in my area, if I go into a LGS and ask about Warcry, "Oh, nobody plays that around here". :( So I became a collector and painter, and 2 weeks after I completed painting all the version one war bands, GW decided to kill most of them. :( :(. However, since the minis are so wonderful, I've found other indie games they fit into perfectly! See: Frostgrave, Deth Wizards, OPR. Working my way through the version 2 war bands now!!
Unsure if you can save an activation to use it as a reaction later on. I thought it was use a reaction to replace an action later on. The only way activate twice was to wait first then you have an action to react or move later on in the turn... I might be wrong but this is how I understood it
I feel you on the cards. BUT, I’m still using them. I put in the effort to put stickers on them when warcry 1.5 came out to put all the (mostly points) changes on the same cards. Since Warcry 2.0 I’ve cut out the new ‘cards’ and put them on top of the original cards in their sleeves (and used free MagicTG cards from my LGC for the new ones that didn’t have a previous card. Honestly, it might not be ‘mint’ and a good looking collection anymore, but they sure feel ‘battle worn’ whenever I use them 😂. Warcry is my favorite GW game. For narrative. For competitive play I prefer Underworlds. Luckily, the Underworlds models work great to amazing in Warcry. These are the two games I’m sticking to ever since 2018 and I don’t feel like missing out on anything (yeahyeah, for painting fun I do buy a larger model from time to time).
Tbh this video was putting Warcry in a interesting light for me. Not that I had a bad opinion about it. It was simply totally out of my focus. I know it existed, but I never got in touch with it.
IMO Heck Yeah! When a game allows you to use almost any AOS units, I felt it is great! the rules are free, its very easy to understand the rules, and there are so many ways to play it. I can't stop listbuilding and trying new stuff, its that addicting.
I agree with you, Warcry is the best GW game. Me and my 7 year old son can play it...having only the basic abilities. And we demo it on local conventions and casual players and kids can get the rules in 1 or 2 turns and they are hooked.
Sorry I don’t mean to spam comments but I love warcry so much 😂 Speaking to your story about “meta,” the last game I played was my Bear-eater Stormcast (“HAMILCAR!”) versus the Slintered Fang and my beefy stormgitz just got swarmed lol😅
WarCry is my second favorite GW game, after Middle Earth SBG. I hope it survives it's upcoming scheduled edition change next year without many changes, or they just drop it and replace it with something completely new so I can continue playing it as it exists now.
Warcry is awesome! The first warbands, chaos warbands, are the best. They are still best for that game. The new warbands from last boxes are mmh ok. The rules are so easy, but so great. It's crazy how simple the cards are and gameplay is, but complex in strategy. What a big hit from games workshop.
Really great analysis! What are the “sphinx” and coffin terrain pieces from? I love them! I agree about the case of Warcry. I don’t want an overly rules heavy game.
Cheers 😍 The sphinx Tetris is from a set called shattered dominion, they did loads of scenery for that, but it’s hard to come by now, which is insane as it’s fantastic scenery. The coffin was from an objectives set, I think it may still be available. And agreed, rules light, fun heavy is the way for me
I got both the folder and sleeves from Amazon, there’s standard playing card size sleeves, and at the back I got done tarot card sleeves for my abilities cards
Man I love Warcry! Been trying to get my killteam buddies into it, just told them "It's like killteam but fun!" and you get to list build other then what weapons your gunners are goin to have
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.
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 ❤
I have the older sets! The Red Harvest Box and the Catacombs box. But I really love the look of some of the new warbands like the Kruleboyz Monsta-Hunters and the Questor Soulsworn. Can I mix and match the old stuff without too much trouble?
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.
It's the only GW that's won actual game design awards too as far as I remember
@@OffMetaMusings think Underworlds won some too. Which is also excellent.
I'd like to see Warcry go urban, especially with the rise of the Skaven into Sigmar's Cities.
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
How wonderful to see that you have a six year old son! When all is said and done, the greatest game is LIFE. Sharing it with your kids can't be beat. My son is 28, married and still paints and games. It's a lifelong bond between us ❤
It’s so wonderful having him want to actively join in, feels very much like my journey with my dad 😍

Ive all but abandoned KT for WC for that exact reason. Its much more fun and random and way less brain load.
This man gets it!
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.
Let's go! Nice to see some more folks banging the drum for the best GW system around!
Bloodbowl!? 😂
Middle Earth?

Oh sweet! They sound cool, I need to make more boards tbf. Thanks again for the comment, and the inspiration to crack on with my cork boards lol
This is the game that motivated me to get into miniature games. The beginner set box was fully loaded and very exciting to pick up. I must have played 40 games, I have around twenty warbands, I have played around twelve miniatures games since then and I regularly come back to Warcry because it's easy to memorize, with quite a bit of options for composing a warband and above all lots of scenarios, setting arrangements, adventures. It's very cool, my favorite GW game (I like Killteam but it's definitely clunkier in terms of wording)
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!
Love warcry, I’d really like to see you show how you run a narrative campaign. It’s something I want to try but I’ve yet to give it ago.
Ben was always lovely to me when I visited Warhammer world. Was lucky enough to live just down the round from it :)
Always a friendly kind person :)
Honey wake up, Lord Peachy has forged us a new video!
🤣👍 also great logo 😘👌 🫖
Algorithm posting. Loving hearing you on the Juggz podcast. Very very keen to hear you talk about Mordheim! I’ve always found warcry interesting, almost too many things to choose between
Gonna make a dwarf mordheim band with the MtO and imperial dwarfs ;)
It's here! I was wondering when this video would get made
I really liked the Catacombs box for having the double sided board with two different sets of terrain for the different environments. It's great when you buy a starter to have that variety right out of the box. I'm really looking forward to a new edition launch with [hopefully] another big box for which to get excited.

Cool overview of Warcry Peachy! looking forward to your next ones on Kill Team and especially MESBG (I suppose when both new versions come out!).
I played Warcry before I played AoS and 40k. What a great game. Thanks for another fun video, Peachy!

Warcry is an absolutely fantastic game. Easy to learn and easy to teach.
It's the game I would use to introduce anyone into tabletop wargaming. Indeed it's the game I play with my daughters (9+14), who picked up the rules quickly and love playing the game.
The models are brilliant, and with the small amount of models needed for each warband, it allows people to collect different ones without breaking the bank.
I really hope GW keeps supporting the game. It really should be getting promoted in their stores, encouraging new players into taking part in the hobby.
I really wish they had used the Warcry rules for Kill Team, as it would have made that game far more accessible.
Anyway fantastic video Mr Peach. Keep up the great work, and keep promoting these lesser known games.
I couldn’t agree more 👍
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.
Can’t argue with these facts 😍👍
you can do reasonably good cards using your home printer. Commercially printed cards are about 300gsm, out of specially laminated card stock, getting the laminated card stock can be tricky / expensive but 300gsm printer paper is a fairly close match particularly if the cards are just being used as a reference. The other component is a wax coating, you can get a fairly good facsimile using a mineral oil based paste-wax and buffing it. (There are two types of paste wax, the other is mineral spirits based and will make the ink on your card run).
You can make your own paste-wax by placing 50/50 bees wax and mineral oil in a sacrificial saucepan, heating it until the wax melts, pouring the mixture into a container and waiting for it to cool. Adding harder waxes like microcrystaline wax to the mix will result in shinier paste.
Wish I had more likes for this video. The Warcry scene is slowly growing at my shop and it's fantastic.
My area has a really active Warcry community full of amazing people. I think I've already played in 9 events this year (including tournaments, campaigns, and leagues).
I really cant recommend Warcry enough, its by far my favorite tabletop game!
6:54 Oh man look at that dwarf with hammer and swordbreaker. That looks awesome.
Sundered Fate box is a pretty great pickup for anyone looking over the fence from the 40k side of things. Especially Killteam players.
For ~130 US You get a pretty generous helping of terrain that works great as a Nurgly swamp environment and the Askurgan Trueblades models were what a lot of Eldar players were using for Mandrakes before the newest killteam release. I think you need 2-3 extra models to run them as proxies for the Mandrake KT, but you can find those loose (in metal, resin, or the new plastic) for pretty cheap. And then you've just got a bunch of lizardmen to muck around with.
They aren't all that stacked, but if you're in the market for the style of terrain included a lot of the Warcry boxes work out to ~$50 two factions and their campaign book.
Sold. I’m grabbing me some rules and gonna try to make some warbands with the Stormbringer magazine miniatures
Might try to use the warcry card creator for some soulbound cheat sheets for my Npcs.
Agree with sci-fi one place fantasy another. I also tend to adapt skirmish rules so double 👍🏼. As usual great video.
When are you gonna make some battle reports with the juggs crew? You talk so passionate about these game systems(frostgrave, warcry and silver bayonet) I think people would really enjoy seeing you play it.
Edit: really enjoyed the one you did on 'game night'
Well I’m looking to do another battle report with Games Night, which will be super fun, I’m currently filming some solo play narrative style batreps for my channel. In regards to stuff with JUGGZ myself, Sugs and Rob have definitely talked about that, not sure when that’ll happen
So even if they don’t produce any more new sets or warbands for Warcry, the earlier editions/boxes/warbands are still ‘alive’ and can still be played. Your ideas of creating your own warbands and so on is a great idea and takes the bite out of the possibility of less love from the source. I love the idea of making Kill Team using the Warcry card generator and might use that to teach 40K Warcry to my son who is a Science Fiction fan!
Yeah Kill Teams using Warcry is a great idea, I’ve found KT just a bit convoluted from a rules pov
Love this video. Again your passion for the game clearly comes across.
Your Sister of Sigmar look amazing. Please do a video about how you kitbashed them.
I was given the Redharvest boxset some time ago but it's in my pile of future projects.
Peachy you are awesome!! I Love Warcry, was hesitant to go 2.0 but I think it’s a better rule set. I was also disappointed about the cards, I had so many 1.0 cards!! I also like the red color better, but I suppose I’ll get used to the gold?! So glad you have your own Channel now. Duncan too!!
I love Warcry! It’s so fun and varied. Thanks for the video 😊
Thank you for watching it…..ooh and commenting 😍🙌
What are the sisters of battle-looking units at 3:55? I would go nuts if they had an AOS counterpart. Maybe kit bashed but then what rules do you use with them? Edit: Oof, watch the whole video before commenting, I guess. I love the Sisters you made.
😂 well at least your Ho eat about it lol, glad you like them, i do need to make some more as I really enjoyed creating them
Have you checked out any of the warcry books. The blood of the everchosen book was really fun and gives a nice taste of all the warbands.
Absolutely love Warcry, it is such a good game, so easy to learn that you can play it with your kids, doesnt take up much room and inspires you to make your own story with your custom warband. It still has enough complexity , despite the simplicity, to have fun tactics and the Warcry community is really, really great, so friendly and honestly, in my experience, the most welcoming and chill of the warhammer communities I have seen so far. Wholeheartedly reccomend joining the Warcry discord for anyone that plays as you will find any help you need there from great people.
👆THIS👆
Ngl i kinda prefered the place holder thumbnail. Mega amazing video.
There is only one thing better than Warcry.... Peachy talking about Warcry!
🤣👍
Nice work I like the star wars idea. Never played aos style games. Old hammer age do you reckon you could make up some 40k cards? As a long time 40k player I just can't be bothered to learn/rebuy codex for 10th ed so we play with a modified 8th.
Thanks for explaining what Warcry is, I think I’m too invested in Old world at this point to try it but you never know
Absolutely love Warcry, great games, miniatures and lore.
Frostgrave, Silver Bayonet and now Warcry?! Peachy this contagious passion of yours is starting to get expensive! 😂
In all seriousness though I love the talking head videos! 👍🍑
Ha! I’m Sorry, and thank you for the kind words 😘👍
I would have made a separate how to play video. It'd be a really nice resource to use and show my brothers when I get to see them(3-4 times a year)
I was going to do a bigger version at a later date, maybe a fun play through, thought I’d throw in a simple introduction on this vid
Love Peachy’s videos!
For what it is, I think warcry might be one of the best! I liked this video a lot
oh that is cool with the card creator.. now i will field my old dispossessed dwarfs, like quarrels and thunderers again :D
Hell yeah!!!! That’s the best thing about it, and an excellent choice of minis 😍👌
Amazing. I was able to get ahold of the WarCry Red Harvest box for
That is a rare find, still a very usable set tbh, even if the cards are ‘outdated’ a bit. Nice one
Peachy casually showing he's a fan of Republic Commando by showing off Sev and Boss 😂
As someone who plays Kill Team, I have to agree that rules that you don't have to struggle to remember sounds amazing!! In terms of story, I feel that fantasy (as a genre) is easier to make stories for scenarios like warcry as you said used to be about warbands trying to gain the attention of Archaon or the chaos gods has so much potential for stories. Kill Team is a bit harder in my opinion to make a story to not sure if that's due to the existing lore or if I'm just used to fantasy stuff more.
Great video Peachy also your not the only one who hasn't done anything with you Shadowstalkers 😂
One of my favorite systems ive ever touched. I truly wish if they could manage to create a more affordable starter that was like crypt of blood but with cardboard terrain it would be one of the easiest sells to a new wargamer for sure.
Life Long and Prosper ... Not only Warcry, Daughters of Khaine but you too Peachy. Glad to hear that you seen the Warcry light, may it lead you onwards over frosty graves into the depths of the shadow range with the old trusty silver bajonet ...
Warcry rocks and has become my main game too. But Peachy I see another amazing box in the background of your video ... One I call 'mini warcry ' one I am so proud to have in my collection too ... Bladeborn I even play it with measuring distances instead of hexes just so that I had to do less converting non supported underworlds warbands ... Next video should be about Bladeborn please ... A Gem in the game collection.
All the best, nice video again. Signing of here for today. Until one of your future episodes ... Keep the good stuff rolling
Cheers for this, lots of cool things on the horizon for sure, and yeah I’ll have to crack open that bladeborn set for a video too, the only downside is its only available in the US I believe….oh and Warhammer world
@@PeachyTips True not an easy box to get in english in mainland europe. But so glad I did manage to snag one from across the atlantic. I hope you have the supported underworlds warbands for it too. Will keep an eye out on your next tips ... Great stuff ... Just as your twitch campaign was ...
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.
Great vid, love this game so much, and your take on the rule set really encapsulates why. All of your Warcry content over the years, going back to your Stormcast interviews in the studio days, I think have done this game and its community a great service. Unfortunately my beloved Iron Golems were the main collection that I actually gamed with out of everything that I collected for different GW games and settings over many years. The decimation of that original ecosystem of chaos tribes in the Eightpoints that I fell in love with and invested so much time, money, and creative energy in has kinda soured me on things. As you said, even a Warband from the release box for the current edition got the axe. I hope one day to try to get back on the horse, but I'm struggling to feel like I can through myself into it again... I'd love to hear you or the Juggz Crew (feels weird to type that) talk about tips on how to grapple with that "post squatting despair/burnout" phenomenon.
Yeah I can imagine the frustration regarding that, I’d built a whole slaves to darkness army using my warbands….well that’s dead now. Some folks have mentioned in this comments section that the Warcry warbands have just been axed from AoS, but still available in Warcry 🤷♂️ I’m hugely confused by this lol
Firstly love Warcry, really want to play more!!
My theory on the disappearing war bands is so they don’t need to make rules for them for Sigmar 4. They seem to be all the war bands that aren’t part of a AoS faction. It’s not a perfect theory, but looking quickly at it, that’s how it seems.
That’s a great observation, I forgot to put in the vid that my entire slaves to darkness army is made up of Warcry warbands lol, yet another army I can’t use……officially 🤣👍
Great video about a game I really like. Unfortunately in my area, if I go into a LGS and ask about Warcry, "Oh, nobody plays that around here". :( So I became a collector and painter, and 2 weeks after I completed painting all the version one war bands, GW decided to kill most of them. :( :(. However, since the minis are so wonderful, I've found other indie games they fit into perfectly! See: Frostgrave, Deth Wizards, OPR. Working my way through the version 2 war bands now!!
So, defo, trying the starwars cards next epic even create ones missing with card creator. You have started something now wookie!😊
Yes Peachy! Yes Warcry! More Peachy-Warcry!
Warcry is what got me into Warhammer at all.
47m video on Warcry? THAT'S SOLDIERING
🤣🤣🤣
At first I thought it was Peachy trying to explain simple rules and it took him 47 minutes. Luckily it turned out to be a lot better ;)
Here I was thinking soldiering was being able to fire three rounds a minute in any weather.
Warcry is really a fun and innovative ruleset.
Man, I miss Path to Glory, that game mode was absolutely fantastic. Big fan of WarCry too.
Love watching your videos mate. Thanks for making em!
Aww thanks, I appreciate the support 🙏
Love this breakdown on a game I’d love to get into 👍💯 you really are a chosen man 👍💯😂
Unsure if you can save an activation to use it as a reaction later on. I thought it was use a reaction to replace an action later on. The only way activate twice was to wait first then you have an action to react or move later on in the turn... I might be wrong but this is how I understood it
Just did a 4 player battle royale last night. So fun.
Ooooh nice 😍👍
I feel you on the cards. BUT, I’m still using them. I put in the effort to put stickers on them when warcry 1.5 came out to put all the (mostly points) changes on the same cards. Since Warcry 2.0 I’ve cut out the new ‘cards’ and put them on top of the original cards in their sleeves (and used free MagicTG cards from my LGC for the new ones that didn’t have a previous card. Honestly, it might not be ‘mint’ and a good looking collection anymore, but they sure feel ‘battle worn’ whenever I use them 😂. Warcry is my favorite GW game. For narrative. For competitive play I prefer Underworlds. Luckily, the Underworlds models work great to amazing in Warcry. These are the two games I’m sticking to ever since 2018 and I don’t feel like missing out on anything (yeahyeah, for painting fun I do buy a larger model from time to time).
Tbh this video was putting Warcry in a interesting light for me. Not that I had a bad opinion about it. It was simply totally out of my focus. I know it existed, but I never got in touch with it.
IMO Heck Yeah!
When a game allows you to use almost any AOS units, I felt it is great!
the rules are free, its very easy to understand the rules, and there are so many ways to play it.
I can't stop listbuilding and trying new stuff, its that addicting.
I agree with you, Warcry is the best GW game. Me and my 7 year old son can play it...having only the basic abilities. And we demo it on local conventions and casual players and kids can get the rules in 1 or 2 turns and they are hooked.
Sorry I don’t mean to spam comments but I love warcry so much 😂
Speaking to your story about “meta,” the last game I played was my Bear-eater Stormcast (“HAMILCAR!”) versus the Slintered Fang and my beefy stormgitz just got swarmed lol😅
Untamed Beasts For the Win!
Love this game, easily GW's best game. GIve it a go if you haven't, you'll love it.
WarCry is my second favorite GW game, after Middle Earth SBG. I hope it survives it's upcoming scheduled edition change next year without many changes, or they just drop it and replace it with something completely new so I can continue playing it as it exists now.
Warcry is awesome! The first warbands, chaos warbands, are the best. They are still best for that game. The new warbands from last boxes are mmh ok. The rules are so easy, but so great. It's crazy how simple the cards are and gameplay is, but complex in strategy. What a big hit from games workshop.
"Red Harvest had a bunch of mining scenery..."
Peachy sighs remembering his childhood in the smelting pits of Germany
🤣🤣🤣 it did take me back for sure lol
You should try Kings of War Peachy!!
Awesome video thanks
Really great analysis! What are the “sphinx” and coffin terrain pieces from? I love them! I agree about the case of Warcry. I don’t want an overly rules heavy game.
Cheers 😍 The sphinx Tetris is from a set called shattered dominion, they did loads of scenery for that, but it’s hard to come by now, which is insane as it’s fantastic scenery. The coffin was from an objectives set, I think it may still be available.
And agreed, rules light, fun heavy is the way for me
@@PeachyTipsthank you so much! Love your channel. It fits my level of hobby vs life
Where can I find the wallets seen 24:08? Are they just A6 holders or something different?
Edit: Postcards wallet?
I got both the folder and sleeves from Amazon, there’s standard playing card size sleeves, and at the back I got done tarot card sleeves for my abilities cards
Excellent & very clear
