Age of Fantasy: How to play Duchies of Vinci 

I do the same thing!

yeah I saw that bird and just had to have it in the army

Thanks for the comment! These guys were great fun to paint up and play.

Is the question am I the one playing them?

@@WarbossFitz Do you have experience playing the armies you're doing videos on? Do you own them and use them on the tabletop?

I do print, paint and play them for the videos. The armies I have showed off I had not played before I start making them for the video. All the armies I had before I started this series were not OPR models and I wanted to show off their model lines. I am inserting more of my "not OPR" armies in the polls every week and some of those I know very well. If your asking if I have play tested these armies before I play them on the channel? No I haven't. I was actually trying to find a spot to explain my thoughts on this but couldn't figure out how to bring it up organically. So thanks for the opportunity to lay out my thoughts. Here is the whole process. I look the army over and find the surface level synergies and design a list for it. Then I start printing. I usually find different tweaks to make to the army to make it "better" and if that is before the army makes it to the paint table then I can print a few more models and change up the list. If they are already getting painted it is too late to throw more in because the way i paint is "typewriter style". Pick one color at a time and everything in the army gets that color before moving to the next color. Are the lists I make and play 100% optimized. No the are not and that is by design. These videos are to get the army in front of the camera not about how powerful of a list you can make with the army. These are about cool models and fun games of OPR not the "net listing" and squeezing every last drop of power from armies that other channels do with other games. If someone want to be super competitive with OPR I say go for it, I can get you in the ballpark. But at the end of the day thats what the smooth brained orc disclaimer at the beginning of these videos is for.

@@WarbossFitz I didn't mean a competitive list. There's a lot of youtubers who mathhammer videos constantly and get so much wrong because of it. Synergy in the rules doesn't always play out on the table sadly. So it's nice to see videos from someone playing a few games with the models and talking their experience first hand.

@@FleshCloud-ey5ro 😀 I know I just used your comment as a spring board to put the non competitive idea I had been kicking around out into the world.

Yeah if it was a rule that only one unit in the army had I covered it when that unit came up.
