IT'S WARHAMMER TABLETOP! (If You Squint) | Imperial Wizard #1 | SOVL 

Good Ol Bat rep with Jervis Johnson and Alessio Cavatore. Aaaah i miss those simpler times where GW was made by Nerds, For Nerds...

It does! Loved their look and feel. Thr good ole days.

​@@Mugthrakajust had one of my old WD from 2004 in my hands and that was the first thing that came to my mind when flipping through the pages

Dark Omen was the bomb!

Mark of chaos?

Yes, please. I'm all here for a Dark Omen remake, as long as they keep the original graphics and gameplay style. One of the best games I've ever played. And man, would it be great if we could pick armies from the whole warhammer army roster. I would play that game till the end of times.

I keep coming back to dark omen every other year

This... and a proper Dawn of War 1 style 40k game as well!

Glad I could help!

Yes

Fixed

Oh ffs, well thanks for the warning. Shame, it was a neat idea for a game too.

Thank you for the heads up.

Who cares

The developers tell everyone that up front on the steam page

why? theres nothing wrong with ai art plus the game is free

There’s everything wrong with AI art, actually. Though in this case I don’t care about its inclusion - it’s not being used in place of hiring an artist. It’s a single dev using AI to pad out their incredibly tiny offering of art in a largely artless project, not some giant corporation who is using it to skimp on staff. If giant companies are doing it and it’s somehow legal then we should be cool with indies doing it for the sake of making new and exciting experiences. If the game looks a little better thanks to its use then maybe they’ll afford to hire an artist for their next title. This game is basically proof that AI art is not a replacement for a real artist; the game looks like crap, and I say that lovingly.

@@gregbackas987 The DLC costs money and use AI art. That's my issue. I'm never going to pay money for something that uses AI art

@@JanetOnOccasion Agreed, most of the unit art is quite bad. Thankfully the battle map is the main draw

I feel like its very deliberately trying emulate the old school Warhammer Battle Reports

It is

its on steam and its free!!!!

Only half of the factions require you to pay to play as them. The rest are free in their entirety.

@@JanetOnOccasion I see. There's that anyway. Similar to mordheim. I am against microtransactions in any way personally, only reason I mentioned that.

@@relishcakes4525 DLC is how most games work these days. At least the base game is free, so can't really complain about that

@@relishcakes4525 Being against microtransactions in any form is kinda close minded.

I'd be very surprised. You can't copyright boardgame rules, and every faction is here a generic fantasy trope. Mantic would have been sued into the dirt by now otherwise. This is perfectly legal and it's better for creatives and consumers everywhere that such broad strokes as these can't be owned by a single company.

Yeah, Imperial humans is just how every fantasy human race works, and they specifically didn’t name the undead after a Gothic novel character, so… Tis does look like tons of fun, though.

@@JanetOnOccasion Especially since its not a 1-1 copy of the warhammer ruleset. Very similar, but not exactly the same

What part of the retreat rules do you dislike?

@@Petterwass In my opinion I think the retreat rules as they are written would be better suited to a larger game size with more regimented lines, say like 2000. Right now the yoyo system can create a lot of bizarre scenarios as things retreat and rally and push other bases around. Also, I dislike how a broken unit can get recharged (from the rear no less), win the combat somehow and rout the unit chasing them down. In smaller rank and file games like this presents as breaks, retreats and overruns are a lot more definitive.

Isnt the game still in development? Having some things locked via dlc while the is free isnt something i personally am bothered about. I still didnt but any dlc because, since its free, i want to see if i like the game enough to do so. About the ai... Yeah... Im a bit dumb to see if it is ai or not so...

@@AzoiatheCobra It isn't about the dlc or locked content. It is about selling AI art. Which is trained on the work real people do. It is theft.

That's the price you accept when playing a game that uses some amount of randomness, such as dice. No different from a tabletop game really.

@@Petterwass Yes i am aware of that. I just prefer when a game can't screw you though you play tactically smart and pull all the "right" moves.

Yeah some of those dice rolls were bullshit

@@wolfisince1978 IE one comletely without randomness

@@purplefood1 That's dice for you
