    The Warcry community is incredible and we are constantly growing! There is so much space to explore from incredible narrative stories to be told all the way over to a really welcoming and robust competitive scene! Thanks for the kind words about a game so many love ❤
  • @scannerbarkly
    It's definitley the best game of theirs in the modern era, I feel. Just really nicely designed, has managed to avoid the unfortunate bloat that often claims games that have been around for a while, and really nice mini design.
  • Let's go! Nice to see some more folks banging the drum for the best GW system around!
  • @funkaoshi
    Warcry is the greatest! That first boxed set with all that terrain has to be one of the best boxed sets they have ever made. Love this game.
  • A couple of guys in my KT oriented gaming group have been getting into Warcry recently. One of the most striking things is hearing laughter coming from the Warcry tables. I look over to the Killteam players and its all frowns and deep concentration. Not knocking that kind of play or the folks who like it, but I want to be on the fun tables! This video is the last nudge I needed!

    Got my wife into Warcry cause she didn't like big games. Good when we have a spare 45 mins and still a really fun game. Cheers for the video Peachy

    Back in 1st edition, I used my AoS models, I bought years before for D&D. My favourite was a warband of Longbeards, and because of the slower movement of the dwarves, I gave the heroes tankards and used the horns from the warriors helmets as drinking horns on the rest of their belts 🙂 Not slow, just drunk!
  • @Nekorook
    Oh no, here we go again. Edit: honestly I love warcry and I’m glad you made this video. I hope that whatever they do with next edition they keep it simple, fast and fun.
  • Warcry is an absolutely fantastic game. Easy to learn and easy to teach. It's the game I would use to introduce anyone into tabletop wargaming. Indeed it's the game I play with my daughters (9+14), who picked up the rules quickly and love playing the game. The models are brilliant, and with the small amount of models needed for each warband, it allows people to collect different ones without breaking the bank. I really hope GW keeps supporting the game. It really should be getting promoted in their stores, encouraging new players into taking part in the hobby. I really wish they had used the Warcry rules for Kill Team, as it would have made that game far more accessible. Anyway fantastic video Mr Peach. Keep up the great work, and keep promoting these lesser known games.

    Those Skirmish boards of yours are so fantastic. I can't remember where I first saw them, I think it was White Dwarf. They inspired me to make 3 cork board terrain boards for warcry. This included a combat arena, a swamp and and a crypt. Thank you as always for your inspiration.
  • Warcry is excellent. I was genuinely surprised by not only how innovative it is but also how accessible it is, especially coming from GW. Can't recommend it enough! Thanks for sharing!
  • This is the game that motivated me to get into miniature games. The beginner set box was fully loaded and very exciting to pick up. I must have played 40 games, I have around twenty warbands, I have played around twelve miniatures games since then and I regularly come back to Warcry because it's easy to memorize, with quite a bit of options for composing a warband and above all lots of scenarios, setting arrangements, adventures. It's very cool, my favorite GW game (I like Killteam but it's definitely clunkier in terms of wording)
  • @AlexCopeMusic
    It's here! I was wondering when this video would get made
  • @JoeFlamenco
    Warcry is what got me into Warhammer at all.
  • For what it is, I think warcry might be one of the best! I liked this video a lot
  • @aztecjaguar6571
    Creating your own highly professional looking character cards is so awesome - especially the Star Wars cards. The Seraphim Spaceship looks exactly like a cool Lustria temple - no problem there, as far as I can see.

    I played Warcry before I played AoS and 40k. What a great game. Thanks for another fun video, Peachy!
