Star Wars: Shatterpoint Core Set Review 

Yay! Wib & Snipe have got some corporate recognition; as they so very richly deserve. The terrain looks very cool. That photo backdrop is a sweet idea. Oh, I like the graphics on the wound counters. Ooh, artist credits! That's neat.

Glad to see Snipe is doing well

This review was informative, entertaining, and authentic. It has greatly increased my interest in buying the Shatterpoint skirmish game. If I were a miniatures game publisher, I would send this channel, Snipe and Wib, review copies of all my new major releases in the future.

The most amazing thing is learning that there's a Werner Herzog action figure! I've been so frustrated with what AMG did to X-wing that I don't really want to play this but glad you two got some recognition and fun stuff!

Would have been an auto buy in Legion scale but yeah, im not falling for a fourth star wars mini scale, fool me thrice!

Just wanted to say, excellent use of music. Don't think we don't notice or appreciate it. Much love.

I will watch Snipe & Wib review anything, no matter how little initial interest I have in the thing. I would watch Snipe & Wib review doorstops because it'd still be a good time. Companies should send them more free stuff!

Aaand a new star wars game right in tine for my re awoken star wars fixation. Some truly flawless timing, and a great review

4:39 saw these backdrops in another unboxing, I was immediately impressed. Such a great addition to the hobby! And it's just a piece of cardboard! Why did nobody else include it in a starter box before? Thank you for sharing!

Cracking work, and the absolute correct choice for the final music. 💪

Dayum, the minis you two have painted are gorgeous. Well done both of you, I love the metal on Snipe's mandos!

Hell yeah! Babe, stop the impromptu vascectomies and come see the new Snipe and Wib!

Hell ya! I want to get this, even if i ever play, the minis are fantastic, which is how i feel like about Crisis Protocol. Its a bit more pricey than Crisis Protocal, but the quality is there, like that is a insane amount of terrain. You could easily use any necromunda terrain as well, there has to be some Star Wars worlds that are super into skulls.

You guys are about as subtle as a thermal detonator. But that is what i like about you guys.😂😂

New stuff review? Neat.

I'd recommend magnets under the base and metal sheets in the box for transport. Works a treat with my MCP minis.

SNIPE IS BACK! ❤❤❤

Nice to see them sending out review copies. When companies have confidence in their games it makes me more interested in checking it out.

Ah, sad. I'm largely indifferent to rules (though these look like they'd fit my brain fairly well) but I do like me some good minis. Alas, I also like to have my minis work together, and these are *huge*. How can I have Doctor Who and Captain Rex team up against a horde of Terminators when Captain Rex is 50% larger than everyone else? :( Maybe they'd work with the Batman minis, but it does make me much less interested in buying anything. (Also, I think you Brits are getting screwed on pricing here, because pre-orders in Canada are only abut 170$ CAD, which is around 100 GBP. Localised monopoly effect? Shipping costs (not likely worse than CANADA!) ? Hidden import duty post-Brexit? In any case, someone is making some extra bread off this.)

Oh those Clones look absolutely lovely. The Droids too!

You just gained a sub lol. OK have been quite hyped about shatterpoint for a while everything looks great but the minis are so detailed and I'm not that great a painter. I'll just hope there is some painting help on here.

£165 is fucking mental for the core/starter set.

Fantastic news about Snipe x

That Force thing, that you're sensitive to, I guess, I mean I don't wanna assume, I hope it hangs around and makes your life a bit easier.

i just found your channel cause of this vid and i absolutely LOVE ur content!! i only recently began to play wargames and dnd and this is such an awesome meld of my interests! also i love the jazzy background music yall used! keep up the awesome work!!!

As expected of Atomic Mass Games, the models are absolutely EXCEPTIONAL. fiddly bits aside, I genuinely feel like AMG has maybe the best casting techniques and systems in the industry behind GW, taking into account casting scale and production. I've done a few commissions as well as painted up my own Marvel Crisis Protocol minis from AMG and they are hands down some of the best quality plastic miniatures I've ever assembled and painted. Depending on how much support Shatterpoint gets, I might end up having to get a loose Ahsoka mini to paint up for myself as a display piece down the line!

This is a very cosy format, would love to see more

Proprietary game components is my biggest gripe with all of the Asmodee mini games. Can't use regular dice and tape measure, you need the special dice and gages. This doesn't get in to the nightmare of stat and upgrade cards that plague their other games.

one question, we know if this game will also be released in Italian, thanks

That bendy movement thing is actually genius, might have to 3d print/laser cut me one of those

I want a set of Cassian, B2emo, and the rioting Ferrix workers against the Stormtroopers, Dedra Meero, and Syril Karn!

The game feels like a veneer to sell painting projects behind, I can only assume that the extortionate price they're asking is down to the insane detail of those miniatures. It's a lot like Crisis Protocol in that regard

AMG has some previous with tiny parts for their miniatures, some of the Marvel Crisis Protocol core set's miniatures were a nightmare for that. They looked good when built, but they were fiddly to an unfun level. Shatterpoint, including the starter set, does however look lovely. Weirdly though despite being a Star Wars fan since I was 5 and saw the first two movies in the cinema, it's never appealed to me as a wargame setting. I love it as an RPG setting but maybe the difference is that in RPGs I get to create my own characters, rather than having to stick to the established canon in the wargames. Still AMG has received a lot of praise for Marvel Crisis Protocol and I am certain that Shatterpoint will be a similarly great game for those who are interested in it!

Oh damn! The 40K peeps do Star Wars too, awesome!

I guess is cheaper to add more characters using the old figures from the star wars command line. They are 1/32 scale.

This is one of the best reviews I've seen of the game, congratulations, there are many videos made by people in the miniature games business who did a very poor job of playing and getting an advance copy of the game. 10/10

Love the retro backing tracks, FF7 perchance?

If You think "the workshop" is hard-core on anti 3-d printing I'm expecting a tidal wave of lawsuits from ol' steamboat Willie's group

I may have to take my X-Wing down to my FLGS, as you've suggested via your choice of outtro, and pick up a copy.

Nice review. Massive props for the Super Empire Strikes Back needle drop.

"Black Series Werner Herzog" needs to become a standard unit of size comparison. For everything. Sorry* bananas. * Not sorry.

Never before have I commented about like/comment numbers, but the joy I felt being the 1000th "Like" on this was fantastic.

Love the channel, this video is great. If I didn't hate star wars I'd try this out.

You have the best review of Shatterpoint on the web! Thank you guys for covering what you did and showcasing so much of the box set. Loved it

Part of me, was 'I've invested too much in Legion and don't play enough' then they showed off the ewoks....lol

As always, your videos are amazing. This game? Not so much... The models and terrain look insane... ... but based on the Clone Wars and not the Mandalorian!?!?!? Are they brain damaged? The rules also look like a total dumpster fire. Proprietary dice and accessories to suck money out of customers for things that don't improve game play. Then there are the needlessly byzantine rules that look about as fun as watching a boomer do a jigsaw puzzle. Random activation is almost a deal breaker by itself. Probably the worst part of games like Bolt Action. Gotta love losing games because of random elements stacked on top of random elements. The price point is kind of absurd, possibly as bad as GW prices... So looking like a hard pass...

Kinna unrelated (tho only slightly so) I'm basing some models with sand, and it's getting everywhere. So Anakin was right, and I'm somewhat sharing his sentiment: "I don't like sand. It's coarse. It's rough. It's irritating. -And it gets everywhere."

Okay the inclusion of a little backdrop for taking pics? That's a great idea. Such a small thing but... now it makes me want to make something for my own minis. Just for the nicety of having things not floating in a white void or having to do any photo editing after the fact tbh.

The objective system of "go to these points on the grid" seems very offputting and unflavourful considering the clonewars staruday morning cartoon context. Wondering if it works better in practice....

£164, hahaha, or any virtual game ever for under half that price, not even Warhammer starter sets are that much, I was expecting more like £60 for this dam. It's cool, but the price point is an instant turn off

The most common piece of "negative" feedback I've heard for this game so far is that the rules aren't easy to understand at first, so I think you brain is perfectly wrinkly Wib.

you know what, if I was a big fan of this part of Star Wars lore, I would absolutely LOVE THIS. It looks very well made

Sooo is like star wars DND😂 but is cool but to expensive for me. But i love figures❤ thanks that you show IT to as

Great looking models and terrain. Garbage systems though with proprietary dice, measurement and tokens come on!

Wish they would have a set with pre made miniatures. Not all of us are able to assemble and paint…. They are keeping a lot of ppl out of the hobby.

Speaking of headcanon, mine is now that Werner Herzog was playing himself on Mandalorian.

Tau fire warriors: *have the worst antenna ever devised by GW* Shatterpoint: Hold my beer

I wonder if this is in anyway replacing Legion. I might grab some models for the sake of models either way

holy c*** that's insanely overpriced. Wow, puts GW to shame.

Looks good but my Star Wars money is still going to X-wing. Gives me more time to paint other things.

Nice to see some other wargaming content :) have you guys played star Trek alliance/attack wing? Might make a good mini battle report style video if you can get your hands on a copy 😅

Damn that’s fine art! And they already have a Grievous squad pack 🤑

My favorite youtubers looking at a game im interesteed early? crap I may just have to get this

Damn, Anakin is so tall he can shove Primaris Marines into lockers.

That’s a lot of stuff in one box!!

Dang, I liked the sound of this game a lot but I hate having no control over unit activations.

Will you be covering any legion minis oh and I'd love to see some classic games such as gorkamorka lol

You two really are rather good at that painting lark ❤️

What do you think of the replayability ?

Not really a star wars fan but these are lovely miniatures. I love the large size too.

So is this supposed to replace imperial assault?

Y’all with that sexy jazz in the background 😂

Black Series Werner Herzog is one of the characters in Star Wars of all time.

Any opportunity to show off your Star Wars stuff, must be taken.

Can't wait for £25 a model in the future like with Crisis Protocol :/

Nice, the minis and the terrain look gorgeous!.

I wouldn't ever spend that much on minis and terrain, no matter how good, but getting them for free, just gotta make a quick review video? Hell yea, free shit.

I assume Werner Herzog's in-universe Star Wars name is Werner Herzog.

Bo is not doing her nails. She just trains sassy throne sitting. Duh

Informative and honest. Well done

I considered picking this up based on the gorgeous miniatures, and hey, since it's a skirmish game it might actually see some use too. But 165 GBP?! For an Asmodee/Atomic Mass game?! That's a diamond-hard _NO_ for me! That's more expensive than GW, and their rules are utter pants.

Dunno.... everyone saids this is better than legion🤔

The card and illistration art reminds me of the old Dark Horse Star Wars comics honestly.

that looked very enticing until i saw the price

It seems like the same wizard who has cursed GW has been at it again in a different setting. I should probably read the _Shatterpoint_ novel at some point. Matt Stover's _Revenge of the Sith_ novelization was pretty good.

How does it compare to Imperial Assault?

Love the SNES soundtrack.

Just picked this up at retail cost price as I run our local gaming club at my friend's store. It's absolutely brilliant.

They made a game called Shatterpoint, but Mace Windu isn't one of the characters?

"Bo-Katan is hanging back and checking her nails" so THAT'S what she was doing in that castle

Glad to see you two back.

Great paintjobs!

Not gonna lie... You have me fascinated. And those sculpts are killer.

At least its not just GW creating needlessly over complicated rules...

"Oh wow, this looks kinda fun, and it's not like complicated rules bother me TOO mu-" "It's £170" "-so back to Stargrave and Turnip28 for me!"

HOW much!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow, I'm speechless!

Ooh, new Stars Wars miniature game~☆ Lucky☆☆

loving the green fuzzy table

So is the force size two sets of, a hero a special unit and two infantry?

Good lord those rules. Blech.
