Let’s go Warcrow
As someone who plays Aristeia religiously, I really like this take on the system.
Buy Mörch!
Really nice to see a slowed down and casual back and forth “how to play”! Models looks great! Gameplay looks super deep with so many little decisions about how to push your troops and how the switches come into play! Very cool!
I love their sculpt. Seems it can be quick and easy. Mission packs?
I hope this game catches a good audience, minis look great
I really want to play this game as soon as possible.
Nice starter set.
At firsy i was confused i recognised the crusty features of Gerry and killian but then needed to clean my glasses and check how many tots of rum id drank this evening as i could have sworn the young lady was the actress Katherine Parkinson of the IT crowd fame. my first thought was bloody hell thats a scoop didnt know she was a gamer?
was it just me or is their a resemblance seen by anyone else? or option two have i partaken of one too many or do ineed simply have more ice with it?
sorry gents didnt mistake you with anyone famous (gerry most folk dont remember Worzel Gummidge or his gaming head), just the young lady.
im now sure its not Katherine for many many reasons, one being i googled her to see if she was a gamer. yes im an idiot easily confibulated
apart from mistaken identity though i did enjoy the game,
This game seems great!
The basic rules seem simple enough, the rounds and turns system looks interesting especially with not all units activating and then the free movement that they aren’t left behind.
Very cool tutorial. Loving me Orcs.. look forward to more.
Nice game!
Starter stuff for this is pretty cool. I wanna like the humans but those orcs are so cool
Thanks. Loved it!
Nice demo game. The game looks very interesting. Like to see more demo games with different scenarios.
Great video, definitely looking forward to this game. Minis are fantastic.
Let the campaign begin!
Aristeia Dice mechanic was cool but this seems more polished
I like the little narrative elements sprinkled throughout the scenario.
The bases on the figures are spot on with the playmat. They are almost invisible in the overhead shots.
The game looks fantastic!
I’d like to see more of how the campaign develops.
Liking the measurement thing. It’s good so far in the first few turns.
Great demo!
@avernos got a crushing win? How unexpected!
Comment on what again. Iam old so i forgot
It is exactly what I expected. I cannot wait to play this.
Lovely looking game, cant wait for more content
I hope they will release the Elves soon 😀
Great to see this in play
Great to have gameplay (and nice to share to friends to motivate them)
That scenario offers a good introductory game.
Are there more “asymmetric” scenarios?
Those orc miniatures though!
Will make me a stereotypical elf player consider them a lot!
It looked quite interesting to learn and play.
Will continue watching the weeks forward.
The models are great, detailed but not overly so. The rules seems good enough to give a good game with lots of decision points, whixh is what I like, I am looking forwards to this.
The rules seem to give a lot of options. Looks they would be interesting to both a new and veteran wargame players.
Is killing the Warsurging a crime ? 🙂
Great showing of the mechanics
It’s nice to see how the campaign works
Woop woop, finally there. Love the Nortern Tribes vibe. Brings me back to my warcraft time.
Well done to Hoopoe for not mentioning the football, or was it filmed before Sunday?
I like the idea of campaign play, but are all games supposed to be like that, or is this a starter st thing?
This is the second time ive seen this first mission play through and I feel its the best intro mission CB have written, and theyve always been pretty good with them ever since Infinity 2nd ed.
I like the idea of special events occurring during the game.
Quick games are good games
I have to admit, I wasn’t convinced with all those stride and special dices. But fact is that this game have it’s own atmosphere then, and looks like a boardgame and it’s awesome and might help incinting people to test this game !
The game system looks great and the miniatures look amazing.
The Northern Alliance got away with the real prize.
Really like the look of the terrain and the turn system. Orcs though look so badass and brilliant.
Really looking forward to seeing this!
The rules system looks quite easy to learn, with specific mechanics like stress and the wheel counter which makes it very interesting. I am looking forward to have a demo game.
A concern I have is that there might be an unneccessary number of dice needed. Two or three colors with a single icon each for success or partial success ( and null) results ought to be enough, yes? Not different icons for ‘attack success’ and ‘defend success’. Unless attackers and defenders are rolling all their dice together in one pile? Which would be weird; Versus players just taking turns rolling.
Nice one 🙂
The streamlined mechanics of Aristeia are a perfect fit for a wargame and it looks like the folks at Corvus Belli have another product on their hands that feels solid. Infinity is my favorite wargame, but as someone who loves fantasy above all else, Warcrow might has won my heart already.
Nice work with the intro video.
Gerry for the win 🙂
Having now seen this game in action… I can say I would definitely want to play this. It looks straightforward to get the basics, which allows focus on the tactics.
Seems to have a super cool flow, I’m not 100% convinced by the little clock widget, but I bet it feels better in person
Can’t wait to get this on the table
very nice game, gameplay looks fun
The dice mechanics reminds me slightly to Vampire the Maskerade, rolling the d8s and counting the successes. The different colours add more depth to the profiles, allowing the true elite troops to shine.
Super excited for this game 🙂
Looks interesting
great video. Content is to the point and shows what the box has to offer. Really made me curious
Great Demo.
Nice. Generaly not into fantasy (I prefer Sci-Fi), but I could go into this one…
WARCROW!!
Very interesting game. I very much would like to try it
Very nice looking game. Will Corvus Belli show/sell it at Spiel in Essen?
This looks interesting!
Love the terrain and the models. Looks so cool and enjoying the turn sequence.
Commenting, would like to win ?
Those are some nice looking minis
Amazing looking!
