As cool as these minis are, I gotta be honest, all the artwork for this game is the real MVP 😍 Check out more and grab your own: bit.ly/RelicBladeMinis
Game looks awesome, I def want to try it.
The game have a great online community on Facebook: m.facebook.com/groups/182254545474657?ref=share

Wow dude! What an awesome unboxing. I am floored! Thanks so much!
I think While mentioned it, but the lack of bases was indeed a mispack. I packed a dozen or so that way, but went back and fixed it now.
And you were right on about the black and white cards. When I started making the game doing black and white was faster and had a classic feel. But after I upgraded to a Cintiq wacom display coloring got a lot easier, so I jumped into full color. I love the full color cards, so second printing of the first edition cards will go color in the future.
Ah thanks for clearing up some questions he had!
This game looks amazing! Where did you get your cards printed? Is it the game crafter?
Thank you for reviewing these small publishing gaming companies. It gives them exposure and gives us the viewers a good review of the game. Love your content.
It’s a super fun game, all d6s, quick rounds, quick games, brutal all around. Also the price point is amazing by comparison to other small scale skirmish games.
Glad Sean reached out to you to review it.
He did the Artwork, the Rules, the sculpts... he’s a true inspiration to the hobby.
The other day he randomly sculpted a giant hornet for the Ranger of Shadow Deep group and put the STL out for free.
All around great guy, interacts with the community on the FB page all the time and answers questions.
Oh man! Relicblade is my all time favorite game! The art style sold me on it, and the game really keeps you going!
I love how everyone referes to Metal King Studio as they: it's a one-man show, Sean Sutter. Really good dude! He draws, sculpts, makes the rules, packs and ships it all!
I'm excited for Adepticon, going for the first time this year. And will be hosting a Relicblade tournament on Saturday, open for beginners. Will have warbands players can borrow!
I'm While and I like Relicblade.
The missing bases in the Lone Guard is a miss pack, reach out to Sean and he will replace missing parts!
It blows my mind what he's been able to accomplish on his own. As for the bases, it was no big deal, I have 100s of those types of bases and just grabbed some of those.
I know, right! And it goes from strength to strength too!
I hope you get a chance to play it!
There was a question about missing bases in the Facebook group recently, so thought I just let people know.
I really like how the knight guy is holding the two handed sword. The pose with the sword on his shoulder seems realistic. It seems like there is real weight in the weapon.
YES!
Sean did some historical research for it. It’s a zweihander pose. There’s even a recreation of a sword fighting manual piece on one of the knight ability cards!
My only issue is it is described as a longsword but feels more like they are meant to be carrying a greatsword. Both in weight and stance. It always feels off...
Honestly this game looks pretty sick. I looked at their site and the game seems really well done
It really is!
It’s heckin solid and the game is so easy to pick up and play. If you’re interested in finding out more on it or checkin out the community Relicblade official battle friends Facebook page is the place to go.
Billman is named after the weapon he is holding, a bill hook. (Which tbh is a bit of an odd medieval relic) but it's nice to not only see one on a sculpt but also see it named as such :)
BrokenAzreal his character sculpt is so fun too. He’s literally got a wheel of cheese on his belt.
was hoping somebody would have mentioned this already.
May, in fact, be one of the only gaming figures to use a bill hook. There might be some other obscure sculpt produced years ago that also used one, but it's still pretty rare.
I found out about Relicblade from the creator’s video on how to paint miniatures quickly. It was the video I watched when I got back into the hobby. I bought the Dark Wanderer mini from them and I love the sculpt!
Love learning more about smaller games and companies. Keep up the good work. I'm inspired to try these out.
Just ordered a starter set for this game. I hope it's good. Thanks for the review and for allowing all of us a look at this amazing product.
Thomas Hayes awesome! Check out Relicblade Official Battle Friends on Facebook if you’re lookin to plug into the community or find out more on the game. Sean posts stuff up in there on the regular and there’s some stuff to expand the game a bit further in the files section as well.
It really is! As Josh says, join us in the Faceboon group if you want!
That was some fine editing! Thanks for putting that extra work in. Most people probably don't realize how much work it was do do voice-over from the original video while using the updated shots of assembled figures, but it really made the video awesome.
Relicblade is an awesome game. Still throws me aback that its just Sean doing it all.
My gaming group enjoys this game. We played through a campaign and had a good time. You can lose a game very quickly with a couple of good/bad die rolls, but it plays so quickly that it isn't a big deal.
RELICBLADEEEEEEEEEE Dude. So stoked to see you making this, and getting into Relicblade.
I Love these, I have most & am almost done painting them, then the new ones will come!😀
Have you played the game?
Yes, enjoyed it. I met Sean Sutter at a local convention, loved the minis right away as they will be great for many fantasy games. Then I joined a local wargame groups, this was what they were playing. I just posted the 4 Iguan in the Crafting Muse & other groups.
Been wanting to jump into small fantasy skirmish warbands, and this has been at the top of my list! 😎
Thanks for the review, checked out the website, very cool stuff. Would like to get this game and miniatures. Good to see another company making metal mini's, seems like a rare thing these days.
You are selling me on this game, man. The packaging and quality of the printing looks better than I've seen from bigger companies.
It is!
I'm sure you wont regretting getting into it!
Holy bejeebus- you're reviewing relicblade! I jumped on their kickstarter when it first came out, and it was a blast. Love the game, and I love the minis. Good lord that art got amazing though- it was all black and white when it first launched. Apparently some of the older sets still hold the black and white cards.
The factions themselves are a little misleading. You get all the characters from a faction in a box; but factions within relicblade are the Path of the Advocate (good guys) and Path of the Adversary (bad guys). You pick one of the two when building your warband, and you can take any models in your warband within your Path. It just so happens that factions have abilities that stack well with each other.
Fun fact: the Wretched Hive/Lizardfolk were inspired by a character from the first kickstarter in a donation tier. A dude got to get his character in the game as a card (no model) at a certain level, and doing the card art inspired Sean to make a model for said character and the entire wretched hive.
Fun fact 2: Relicblade was all a one man show. Sean Sutter did everything for it. Art, book, game design, minis, etc. It was all his work.
So if I remember right, the billman, saber tooth and possibly the basilisk all cost closer to the smaller pigs; in the case of the prior, they are companions (so pets and lesser allies), not sure whether the basilisk has it. While they are characters, they have slightly different rules when it comes to the heroes as they tend to die a little easier, and may have less natural abilities and equipment/upgrade slots. The pigs on the other hand cost less so you can field a lot more (in reason), while the Warlord is a villain/hero like the majority of the Wretched Hive, The Warrior, Ranger, Knight, Thief, and Cleric.
awesome how you always find the next steps on crafting/minis, and keeps the movement alive. Thank you for that!
Fun to be watching this 5 years later as I am just beginning my Relicblade journey.
LOVE that you assembled them.
They deserved it 🥰
Those minis are beautiful! And I never would have seen them (or the game) without this review. Thanks for showing them off! :D
a game in 30 min!?! This is by far one of the best unboxing you have made in a long time! (Thanks for the assembly, that helps alot) I would love to see you show of this 30 min game with the paited minis :D
It really is! You can check out GMG or STF Wargaming Studio for some gameplay vids!
About the Billman... He's called that because his weapon is a type often called a Billhook.
I like how the guy with the billhook is eating a sandwich, truly the type of hero the bards sing of.
Warped Rider he has a wheel of cheese and a jug on the back too! #priorities
First thing you've reviewed that I've bothered to purchase. Very nice detail on the miniatures. There's an epidemic of cartoonish miniatures in the industry, and I appreciate these sculpts. Won't ever play the game, but they'll look nice on my d&d table.
You should give the game a go, it's a great tactical combat game!
I really like their Pack Yak miniature.
Just found this channel and I am binging all of the videos, thanks for the great content!
Man that artwork is beautiful...
It's not even Tuesday in my timezone, absolutely wild. As always, thanks for bringing a new brand to dying wallet.
I still cant believe this is done by just one person(?)! Keep up the amazing work. I'm also trying to create my own set of minis using 3D printers but its expensive as heck, huge respect to these small companies casting their own stuff. These guys are my insipiration to keep on going
COHESIVE! A Big word my man. Worth mentioning nimble reader that Relicblade is made entirely by 1 talented guy. One dude, did all that. And let me tell you, the miniatures are quality ! But the game is amazing. You may be in the midst of learning two other games, but i urge you my man, read the rulebook. Relicblade is really straight forward and easy to learn. Though it may be a boutique game, it is incredibly approachable and would serve as an amazing introduction into the world of miniature wargaming. (actually, better than Frostgrave would to be honest!)
But. I'm really biased. I love relicblade so damn much it's crazy.
Not that big, only 8 letters. Not as big as BEGINNERS or RELICBLADE (",)
@@theophrastusbombastus1359 haha, I can't argue with that! My thoughts expanded: thematically, i suppose "a cohesive feel" is a unique aspect that the interaction with Relicblade and the products has, that others games don't.
Heck yes!!! Subbed!
Relicblade is hands down my favorite game. The models are so much fun to paint and the style encourages you to try new things while painting them. The rules are simple and intuitive. The upgrade system adds some nice depth. Gameplay is fast and action packed. The whole game facilitates the hobby as a whole encouraging people to get into painting and building their terrain as well as making scenarios to fit the campaign.
I love everything about this game.
Cool looking minis! I've seen some videos of the game and it does look cool. Haven't seen it at the local shop but ours is huge and I could have walked right by it. Awesome!
NicodemousBain Unfortunately not stocked in a lot of shops.. Yet!
Even if I wouldn't play this game, I like the miniatures! I'd use them in my RPGs!
Is called a Billman, because he is wielding a Billyhook spear. Unusual but fearsome weapon
$50 for a game isn't bad at all. I think that's a very fair price. Thanks for sharing independent games!
Wow loved these minis and absolutely LOVE the art work! very intrigued by the game - short small low cost very high quality - thanks for the video
Would love to see you make a full Relicblade table. Nobody else on TH-cam seems to have done it.
I picked this up at Adepticon and my friends and I all immediately feel in love with it. Great minis, great rules, all around great game!
Guerilla Miniatures Games have some videos of the gameplay if anyone is interested.
I really like that figure with the voulge... I might buy that pack just for him.
Like you, I really like the artwork, but I also commend the graphic design. Good illustrators do not always make good graphic designers, but those cards look like they convey a lot of information in a clear yet thematic way. Nice!
FInally more Lizard folk minis that aren't clad like tribal warriors!
I need to get them for our Elder Scrolls Frostgrave campaign to portrait Argonians!
ROFL - 2 minutes into Tuesday and TH-cam alerts me to the Tuesday video :P
NO TIME TO WASTE REVIEWSDAY BECKONS!!! WILL YOU HEED THE CALL?????
Always happy to see more Relicblade. Big props to Sean of MKS!
I am not sure if i should put this here but "Guerrilla Miniature Games" have some battle reports conncerning "Relic Blade"...
neat stuff will see part to and other the painting of
Nice looking game. After all this mention of Frostgrave I keep hearing from you, I decided to look it up and... Damn, it looks looks like such a fun game, especially with the fact that you can use whatever miniatures you happen to have!
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any community to play it in Winnipeg that I know of, like there is for Warhammer or Infinity. Do you know of a community that gets together for games of it at game stores or something?
I don't off hand, as I tend to just play at home. But I'd say check with Game Knight about about maybe starting something.
The six legged lizard looks like a basilisk! Makes me want to buy this pack only for the miniature. :D
It is!
7:05 it's Sir ForScale!
Check Metal King Studio on youtube. There are video on how HE (he's just one guy) does the Relicblade minis from scratch!!
I wish this stuff was more easily available in the UK 😢 I really want to try the game but can't justify the shipping costs
Regarding compatibility with other brands of minis (for use in, say, D&D) how does the scale compare with Reaper or the Deep Cuts figures? You say they're 28 mm so does that mean they'll be a little small standing next those others?
I mention this and show one next to Reaper’s Sir For Scale. They are slightly on the large side.
I sculpt the minis at 30mm. They blend pretty well with most other fantasy figures, but there isn't much consistency even among other ranges. So it depends on the figure. They look good next to most reaper minis. Deep cuts tend to be on the petite side compared to RB figures.
I'll bet that six legged lizard beast is a basilisk.
The Mountain That Roars yes it is ;)
Nice sculpts.
Do make your own item cards for your games? Seems useful for player's to keep track of specific items without slowing down the game play?
Man do I enjoy watching these vids! You always make me discover cool things. But if you ever find yourself having too many minis, feel free to send me some! :D
Billman because he uses a bill hook as a weapon.
That's my guess
Better skirmish games than full armies.... Games workshop is trying to take it a little with underworld.... but they forget to make remarkable tiles for the game
Great video and a good review of a game that seems to be very good. Does anyone here know what is the shipping cost for Puerto Rico?
I think there's a free shipping code on the website still!
Seeing as the TH-cam app apparently ate my comment...
I hope the recent supplement from the latest kickstarter will fix the campaign system. It has always felt off. The game plays just to quick for it to feel good as a campaign game using the original campaign rules. That and it felt like Gold was rarer than a flying pig going on a date with a blue moon.
Any chance unboxes are coming back? If so you should check out Dungeon in a Box. They recently started doing sweet custom minis.
Unfortunately I do not have the time for the second weekly video.
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial fair, have you ever checked it out before? Just wondering if you had an opinion
yay you made a new episode
Now paint 'em!
Do it Jeremy!
Hey there I love your videos! I am just getting into the craft but I need some help! I’ve been searching video but I can’t find the mod podge and black paint recipe! Can anyone link it to me? Or is it just a rough estimate?
How are you searching?.....just put black magic craft mod podge in the search bar and you will find the video dedicated to that question.
Black Magic Craft oh thanks so much!
Jazz hands!
Is there actually a polyurethane miniwax that's matte?? Cause the only one I found has a really glossy finish and I just realized buildings aren't supposed to shine as if they were wet hahaha
I switched to Krylon matte. It’s truly matte.
You said your crew was learning a few other games right now. May I ask what those are?
Frostgrave and Kill Team
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial Very nice. I already have Frostgrave on my list thanks to you, so I will add Kill Team. Thank you!
Is your hat a Kangool? Is it available in your amazon shop?
London Fog....got it at The Bay.
Looking a the website, these figures are more expensive and less detailed than Warhammer. Why would I pay 35$ for four pig man minis when I could pay about the same price and get 6(or 10) from Hordes?
Edit: Oh and I doubt the figures themselves are all that customizable when it comes to equipment and the like.
Can you by multiple sets of the same faction, and get different minis and cards?
I think they are always the same, not randomized. But I did forget to mention there are more factions available than these 4.
Same.
It's the same minis and cards, but you can field several of the same type of character. And the Lone Guard Warrior and Ranger have arma that can be swapped around!
Also to mention is that there are extra characters not in the faction sets such as vermin mouth, eel sorcerer, shark warrior and more! Give those a look as well!
Great review, but it’s a bit „unfair“ to claim that cheaper minis are typically cheap, plastic Chinese minis. For example in the market of historical minis or historical-adjacent (like for example copplestone miniatures) you can find miniatures in metal, with lots of detail that are a lot cheaper. In comparison to GW, and I guess that’s the people this is aimed at, sure... they are cheap-ish. But nearly 9$ per mini is not a joke (even if they have nice packaging and they are nice minis).
7:06 where can i get this knight ?
Reaper Bones
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial is it like a single modell or can I buy more of those in a bundle?
Turns out not many subs comment these days
any one got tips on painting metal mini's i dont want to ruin mine if i paint them
Spray with aerosol primer, paint as normal
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial Thank you good sir!
make more episodes please
I put out two videos a week
The art work looks like Darkest Dungeon..
I've been playing, worth the peny
12th comment :)
why must a person always mention that they did not get paid for something. . why does it even matter. I would be great-full to get paid to review a product. . . and I think a person should get paid to review a product . well done. . thanks for the content.
It REALLY matters to some people. It's important that to me that I am transparent. Sometimes I will make a video about something for a company for a fee, and I like to distinguish those types of videos for my viewers.....even though being paid or not doesn't affect what I say about a product, sometimes I simply require a fee to spend time producing a video that I don't otherwise have interest in doing. That being said I am moving away from doing that and preferring to simply review the companies and products that I feel deserve the promotion and that I want to talk about.
If he is getting paid that means he maybe on some level more inclined to give a positive review. This can especially be bad if they choose to hide the fact that they were paid to review this item. People want to know if they're watching a review versus when they're watching a commercial.
For the record I will never, and have never, given a positive review because it was a paid promotion. I have a strict policy on that. The fee covers the time to produce the video, that's it, it does not buy a good review. Whenever I am speaking to a company about a paid promotion I let them know this. Usually I prescreen products to make sure they are likely good before even being willing to look at them, but I have absolutely said negative things about products I have been paid to show in a video. In the rare case that something is utterly terrible and there is nothing nice to say, my plan has always been to simply cancel the agreement and give the payment back and proceed with very negative review if it's something I want to warn my viewers about. I have not been put in this situation yet though, as I said, I prescreen products and you can usually tell if something is awful before even getting it.
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial glad to hear it love that transparency
PS....some TH-camrs ARE super slimy about this, and it gives all of us a bad rap which is why I try very hard to be as clear and transparent in every case as I possibly can be (even if it's a little annoying to have to hear).
How is it you present yourself like an authority on the hobby, yet you never know about anything
