In this episode of What's in the Box we get a look at the Afflictor for Legion of Everblight with Justin and Mike. Next on the block we get a peek at some Briscards for Ariadna with Carlos, and finally Warren has been joined by our buddies Alessio & Andy from Warlord Games to have a gander at the Assault on Normandy box set for Bolt Action. Will Warren end up going 28mm with his Nachtwulf army too?!

Good to see Warren and Stu back even if it is an even more hyper Warren than normal 😉
I am really looking forward to infinity week!
Sorry, but I still feel like an observer and not a participant. The original unboxing format was sooooo much better than this. It was one to one with the viewer and much more intimate. Now don’t get me wrong, having somebody that knows the system is great and I applaud that immensly, but the show is just comming over as 2 people talking to each other and at no point did I feel like I was being addressed or included in the discussion. Also. The three segments were unrelated and should have been seperate videos. And one last thing. Ditch… Read more »
If its intimate you want, next week I’ll take you out for an ice cream and a smooch before we upload the show 😉
As for three separate vids, why not just watch the three parts on separate days, problem solved 🙂
I see posts like these every once in a while and I just don’t get it. I think the move to Tabletop Nation was difficult, but the right choice. I think these guys are doing an incredible job; I like how it feels like they’re letting us into their gaming club by being familiar with us and I like how the box openings are both up close to the model and yet still with an accompanying interview. Don’t get me wrong, you were relatively polite with your comments, and opinions are fine, so I consider myself to just be the… Read more »
I won’t pass judgement on what is, after all, only an opinion… I for one happen to find the new format more dynamic, although I’m sure it could be improved (as everything can). Many people liked the old format, many people like the new one, maybe the format will be changing again one of these days (who knows ? I certainly don’t ! I just paint stuff…) Believe it or not, we got comments from people who preferred “discussion” type videos rather than “one on one”, when the old format was being used. The moral of the story : you… Read more »
I recall the first unboxing being only one fellow and he would shake like a leaf. It wasn’t that personal and rather dull. Now we have so much more coverage and effort to edit good videos. This and many more will continue to evolve into what can be sometimes better and sometimes worse videos. I personally like that we are seeing new faces of people that are “guests” in the videos. Most look like they are in truth just average gamers like you and I that asked to be in the video. Thats a plus for me as I see… Read more »
“Also I’ll thumb you up @tasker because your so honest about your view even though you know others will disagree with you. I respect that from you.”
Thank you very much.
I have to admit that some times I can be a bit too direct and my honesty has gotten me into trouble with forums on ocassion. lol
As I said. It’s just my 2 pennys worth. Not everybody will agree.
And nor should they. If we all liked the same thing then life would be boring.
Just because I don’t like the direction that BoW has gone in doesn’t mean others wont.
Doesn’t mean my opinion is any less valid that theirs though.
Hmmmm. How odd. I could have sworn I stuck smilies in that post.
Which Stooge was I? Larry?
Great stuff. Warren’s psychotic, but I love him.
Doesn’t matter if the Zerg are coming.
The Tyranids will just eat them.
@dignity you should let warren at the relentless again his enthusiasm is infectious! Infinity ws nice to see modern looking troops in a futuristic setting but aleph have my favourite looking models by far i think. an Afflictor will inevitably find it’s way into my force but agree with many the tail is a bit… off rest of the model is nice though That bolt action starter box appears to be one of the most comprehensive starters i’ve seen very nice models with plenty of options undoubtedly will see it locally soon as theirs a push for a WW2 game… Read more »
There’s something pleasingly anarchic about the chemistry of these three. 🙂
Look forward to seeing them back on the Weekender.
Good to see Warren in for one of these. And am really looking forward to the infinity week next week. Discovered Infinity on this site so I enjoy all that I can get.
Great to see historical games getting some good coverage on here and I really like the idea of Warren who freely admits to knowing next to nothing about history showing it’s not essential to be able to get into a great game.
I remember I had the same issue but the other way round, when my son introduced me to 40k.
Woot. Infinity and bolt action are my favorite. 🙂
As always, the infinity sculpts kill it.
Oooooh! Business cards of dooooooom
Bought my first bolt action set a few weeks ago. Wish I would have watched this video first as I bought a German army set and did not know that a starter set existed. Nice vid and I look forward to see how this game is played and how if compares to Flames of War.
More great unboxing guys but I really enjoyed the one of the Bolt Action starter set. The Rules for Bolt Action are just awesome, it really has a nice ebb and flow. It is one of the best rulesets I have ever played.
Its me or carlos now is an infinity male sex symbol?
TE AMAMOS BOSTRIA!
CC:@bostria (does it work like that?)
Looks like warren should be limited on those energy drinks. Otherwise Briscards look great
I want me some business cards! I could stand to be a bit more professional.
I approve of the new format.
I have enough videos jamming up my subscription box, so a bit of consolidation is always good in my book.
In addition, I like to watch videos like this while painting, so the longer they are, the less I have to stop painting and click on a new video.
Je veux miniatures Infinity français!
Les livres ont été traduits, heureusement ! 🙂
Briscards would be nice… lol
Briscards for Ariadna are awesome looking squad!
Lovely looking sculpts from infinity as always and a good format for the films I think.
The more I see of Infinity the more I’m interested. Thanks for the unboxing.
nice video.
I absolutely love Pedro´s sculpting, he rocks at posing, anatomy, clothing textures…
Warren, did you forget your Ritalin again?
