As a game it has some interesting parts, but essentially it's just an Orky Gaslands. I can see people buying this for the vehicles more so than the game. I think Gaslands is still a better driving game. Good battle report. You showed what the game is and it's nice to see if it is worth the investment. Great job guys.
"I can see people buying this for the vehicles more so than the game. " Yep, just like back in the day when I would to to Toys-R-Us to buy Battlemasters from Milton-Bradley to help build WFB armies.
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does anyone know of a way to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot the password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me.
Looks like fun. I was concerned that it was too similar to Gaslands, but it has some interesting play elements. I especially like the blind allocation of the dice pool. 4 Squigs up!
Looks like a good time, but the price point is way off. Only 40k Ork players that are planning to transfer the models over into their armies are going to want this. $150 for a board game is crazy, especially for what little there is here in the box for casual board-gamers. Seems like a missed opportunity to get people that don't actually play 40k into a cool, themed board game.
I agree entirely. I preordered because I'm an Ork player and a board gamer wanting to get my friends into 40k. This video showed me it is the right game to try and get my friends interested but none of them are going to buy it since it's overpriced to buggery. Gorkamorka was a much better deal. Two warbands and terrain for 150 instead of 250 (talking Australia dollars)
Awesome video once again with awesome painted miniatures ! It great that GW gets you these games early to show them off for there releases. Such a great way to advertise there games . Great work Ash 💀🤙🏻
@@aaronbasham6554 haha. You got me there. I mean I guess it gives some kind of discount on vehicles that'll probably cost next to nothing in the codex, but be good enough to force purchases
I pre-ordered but was feeling nervous about the price and whether or not I'd play the game. Your video showed me this game is a nice simple but fun miniature game. Exactly what I was looking for.
Well, almost a year has passed, and I buy this new and sealed for like 40% off the price. And I play with admech and no orks. This can have been so good. Sadly the commercial execution wasnt so bright.
I purchased this boxed game the other day after watching this video and reading these comments. First I should confess that, due to strangely fortunate circumstances, I was able to buy Speed Freeks for very little cash out of pocket. However, I had already been strongly leaning toward purchasing this box instead of investing in Gaslands. My rationale is that this box is a complete package: models, rules, game boards, terrain, dice, markers, templates and other stuff. Gaslands seems extremely cheap at first, given that the rulebook is ~$13 USD street price and brand new Hot Wheels cars are only $1-$4 each. But when I started looking into what it would take to get "same or better" build quality and detail with respect to boards, dice, templates, terrain, and mods/bitz, it starts to add up. In no way am I making the claim that Gaslands' "all in" price is more than that of Speed Freeks, but I contend that it's closer than it seems at first blush. Sure, some of us may already be sitting on a mountain of bitz, terrain and hobby tools, which would greatly decrease Gaslands' entry price, but that's a fundamentally different comparison. Anyway, I didn't price out this comparison to the cent (or even to the dollar), but I figure whatever excess Speed Freeks has cost me is the premium I'm paying for a) convenience and b) brand (Orks are so fun and funny!). I'm okay with that.
Hey Barker glad to see you still doing something you love, your mad max half life irk boyz look great. I hope this game gets supported and becomes gorkamorka but not holding my breath. Take care
People will piss and moan over anything. In USD this box is $150, and individually priced out it's over $200 BEFORE the board, dice, cards, rules and templates. The price is fine.
Setting aside the models, that's a pretty nice mat. Most good mats run you 75 dollars, and the cheapest are 30 dollars. This is a pretty good mat for something to play regular 40k at home when you can't make it to your local game store.
Paul Gibbons The minis are at least useful in 40k, unlike titanicus, you can also play this on a regular 40k board so I think this is a pretty cool minigame style thing for people who already own ork armies
@@maxkennedy8075 Yeh I had Gorka. It was OK for 5 mins. When they stopped supporting it nobody really missed it. Think the price mark is too high for anyone not intending to run Orks.
It is no Gorkamorka. In fact it is just some kind of the gorkamorka movement rules + something = that's the game. Gorkamorka was a fun game and as with every side-games from GW, nobody is ever really missing them for long. The reason for this is that the players still have other games to play OR keep on playing the unsupported games but society in general simply never gets informed about it. I mean for real, are you always letting the whole world know that you play gorkamorka, mordheim, gothic or whatever right now!?! I don't think so! So it is easy to say that nobody is missing a game when nobody is writing about it. By the way, gorkamorka did not really needed much support, it was a campaign game and thus long-term enjoyment. A game I missed a lot for instance when it went out of the GW stores was Battlefleet gothic. But sadly it was said to be too boring, what in fact was just the official saying for: the movement phase demanded too much tactical intelligence.
This isn't gorkamorka although it mentioned on the website there is campaign rules to it. I'm hoping this is like shadow wars Armageddon where they're testing the waters for new gorkamorka.
I think the little game mode is fun, if you are an existing Ork player this box is probably not worth it as you probably have enough choppa's by now however I think if you are new to Orks this is a great jump off point! Gaslands knock-off or not it really shows what dem boyz are all about and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience!
grandissimi appena ritirato !!!!!! bellissimo gioco vi seguo sempre il vostro canale è super mi sono iscritto x questo ho preso anche tutto di kill team
Since Gaslands is inspired by and borrows from GWs old Dark Future, I think it's the other way around. The author even mentions Dark Future in the Gaslands credits.
Car Wars used a turning key and Battlecars turned to the map gird. The key standout in Gaslands that was borrowed from Dark Future was the turn/maneuver templates, not that it was car combat.
It's par for the course for them. To be fair it's not the first ( or last ? ) time they've had a stab at monetising the whole Max Max genre. Battle cars in 83 was the first attempt - a streamlined and board game version of Car Wars ( both of which I used to love ), and then another attempt with the much more miniature based Dark Future in.. 87 ? You could argue Gorka Morka was a half stab at a 40k version of the same thing. And now this. Gorka Morka lite, vehicles only ! Depending how you're counting this would be their fourth Max Max iteration.
For a start, price wise, Gaslands is 10 times cheaper. It means nothing in terms of gaming, but it remains an important point. As far as the game itself is concerned, Gaslands allows you complete custom teams, with about 10 types of vehicles to choose from, and half a dozen sponsor. Loads of weapons and special equipment are available as well. Not only cars and buggies, but also more "exotic" vehicles: Wanna field 15 kamikaze bikes? Go ahead. Wanna field a tank, a bus and a helicopter? Right this way. Then, and although I haven't played speek freeks, it seems to me that gasland feels faster: vehicles cover more distance during a turn, and the faster you go, the less maneuverable your car becomes, which doesn't seem to be the case in SF (yea if you fail your roll, your car spins, but that doesn't scratch the "spectacular crash" itch the way gaslands does). All in all I guess it's not targeted at the same audience, and I know which of the 2 I'm more drawn to.
@@ReverendRift I'm kind of a tabletop wargaming noob, and I'd never heard of a driving/mad max/demolition derby type game before but it sounds like a blast to play. I watched this video because I was so intrigued after hearing about Speed Freeks but I'm so glad I read your comments because now I'm looking into Gaslands. I'm not much of a hobbyist...is it tough to kitbash some Matchbox cars for the purposes of the game? Do you DIY all the obstacles for Gaslands? I'm so curious about this now. Thanks very much for chiming and for your help!
Not necessarily, there is a Gaslands group on Facebook with tons of tips and inspiration, and Ash has a couple of batreps on the channel, so you can have a look for yourself. But I know some people play just using matchbox cars straight out of the box, without modding or painting them. And as far as obstacles go, you don't need many of them. I mainly use rocks (styrofoam, tree bark, or straight up real rocks from the garden), and piles of tires from cars I cannibalized for parts.
Thanks for the great video Ash! This seems like a more expensive(GW duh), more restrictive version of Gaslands. Neato that GW is making it...but I prefer the customizability of Gaslands.
Heavy price for a 25 page rule book/simple game. $120-$150. Game nerds Dotson for $125 and saw in a forum that it’s actual price is $150?... nope. Looks fun but the only fancy part of this game is the minis, everything else is basic components (cards, tokens,and dice).
This kind of sucks. I bought this game I haven't played it yet been working on the miniatures, watching this video I'm not really digging the rules. Luckily I still have all my gorkamorka stuff so I'm just going to use these Miniatures and play gorkamorka. There's just too many damn rules in this game.
Hmmmmm, indeed. As a connoisseur of orc related miniatures I must say that this both shallow and pedantic. Yes, it certainly does not make me drop my monocle in surprise.
Any chance you can work on the sound on your videos? I’m getting lots of top end and bottom end, and not much in the middle - difficult to hear what’s being said 😢
It’s a high end stereo system... I suspect the video has been balanced for mobile devices, which is fair enough. But the lapel mic seems to be pointing towards the chest rather than the mouth? Anyway whatever.
@@cthuludreams1 That's your personal choice, which I don't share but respect. Anyway, it doesn't mean that KT isn't a bad copy of another successful game.
20:56 - "I really wanna get the double lide-eable-strougt-stavo-waffhereha and hit 80 miles per hour." WTF did you say? Completely unintelligible. Even the closed caption couldn't figure it out.
250 € for 8 miniatures to play gorka morka? Thats why GW still losing costumers against other games... the game is good but the price is a completley cheat in my opinion. Luv ur chanel bro!!
@@tyrannosaurus696 yeah. GW has been owner of a monopoly on the past. but now is runing a race against KS and a lot of games. To be competitive they should think about the prices they drop. I really hope so they do it
You’d be amazed how unpopular fixed camera is. I’ve used it in the past for certain games and it’s only really the preferred format of the precision measuring crew. Honestly it’s far easier to film so I’d be happy to, but it definitely isn’t what the majority of folks want to watch!
