the bone blast ability on the grotesque is that INSTEAD of ADVANCING, he can do a ranged attack. Which means, thematically, that when he destroyed the previous unit, that units bones were blasted towards the other unit which may damage them. Pretty grotesque, right? haha
I went out and bought Battlelore 2nd Ed. after watching this, along with the undead armies. This is hands down the best 2 player miniature wargame in my collection. We always have fun playing it and we can do it in 1.5-2 hours tops... sometimes playing another game right afterward.
Discontinued or not, this is STILL my favourite 2 player war/miniatures game.
A crying shame that those who discovered it recently will struggle to find all the content but just the core box alone has a tonne of replayability
"Why are you even listening to me, go get this!"
That is how you sell games to me :-)
Can't wait for the Undead Factions!
Wow, so much energy in this review :)
I looked into getting Warhammer and/or Warmachine but soon realized that these two games are money pits, this game for the price of 1 competitive army i get a complete game. luckily i got the game for free for my Bday so im more than willing to spend a little for the expansions. this game has all the depth of the two above mentioned games, not sure why people are so insistent on saying it does not.
I was recently gifted a copy of CNC: Napoleonics and it's too early to tell which I like more. Battlelore 2 with expansions has become more of a gamers game with multiple lore decks and units to choose from. While I like that I can get that out of an accessible and quick to play game, that style of pregame analysis is not something my family enjoys. Plus my family enjoys historical theme over fantasy :)
their is a lot of ability too create a big market in this area, something that is very hard too do with miniature table top gaming but entering into a more board gaming area yes this is a very viable idea.
Not that I needed an excuse to get these expansions, but after seeing the video... who can resist?
This comment doesn't hold any weight because I've never played tabletop warhammer, but I never have because of the money pit that it is. I can't just pick an army and go, I have to own EVERYTHING! And to do that with that game would require a 5 car garage and full blown retirement or unemployment for painting purposes alone, and a wallet the size of a Bentley. Just saying, I don't even think the pros can argue with that. Having said... This game is the shit
Thanks for the review! it's really good!
Hey Tom, if you had to choose: Battlelore vs D&D Attack Wing (with the new expansions that introduces ground troops)?
Love it.
Tom, what about comparing BattleLore with D&D AW?
Blood Sisters remind me of Witch Elves from Warhammer.
A forbidden gem.
It would deserve better...
Annnnnd FFG no longer support it! Talk about a jinx...
Are they going to bring out any new factions?
Neil Blaiberg See BoardGameGeek
Yeah, this game is a blast to play. But replace or be as good as warmachine, malifaux, or 40k....not even close Tom
david petree It completely depends on the person though. I can see this game replacing 40k for me since it's cheaper and I can play it faster while having the same fun.

For me this seems similar to MTG Arena that he just reviewed.
Jared Schulz Here you command an army of troops (kind of small army, but still). In MtG Arena you command one or two planeswalkers, which has two units they can summon. It is similar, but not so much. Also spells feel different in both games. I think in MtG:A they tend to mess with the opponent more often.
wr00t I really appreciate your response. Trying to decide which way to go.
Such a shame they seem to have killed this game off,☹️
I'm kinda disappointed that they are still blue and red units. I would've loved if they have made completely new factions (maybe green?). Now you kinda have to buy both new red and blue expansions or nothing at all.
JevousGaming Undead faction is coming out
Calm down, the purple undead faction is on its way..... Check ffg's website.
kevin sayers I'm sorry for my outburst of rage there (and all the swear words). I promise I'm much calmer now.
Sadly I got here about 8 years late lmao.
Tom if you want a dead simple game than yes this might replace a miniature war game. If you want some depth and complexity, this is no way would replace something like 40k or Warmachine - not even close. It's like comparing apples and oranges.
Jeff Connell For you, that's fine. For me, the depth and complexity is RIGHT here. Love this game.
The Dice Tower I would love to say "you are wrong, Tom! Warhammer armies are way cooler!!" buuuuuuuuuuut Games Workshop have decided to DESTROY the entire franchise with that disgrace "Age of Sigmar" is. So, for now, stick with Battlelore. It's a great battle game, actually (I love the first edition with all my heart, I haven't played the second one, though).
Jeff Connell "Dead simple game" - I´ll have to agree with Tom on this one. There is a lot of strategy and planning in this game.
whatever works for you but personally i'll never play a GW again after trying this. It's all here, and for a tenth the price. less actually. I would say more depends on whether or not you have a collector mentality and love to paint than on the actual game itself - a proper 40k army, painted well looks amazing. Battlelore just looks good. Depth of play however is amazing, far greater than just knowing the mechanics of the system will give you any insight into. First game I played I got utterly destroyed and it was still love at first sight for the game itself. And i'm not the most gracious loser normally either....
40k and Warmachine are a lot less strategic than a lot of Hex and Counter games out there.
Won't buy the game till they release the elves.

I'm thinking Trent as big unit, Dryad enchanters , Elven Archers, and Elven Ranger.
