Square Based: A Warhammer Fantasy in the Old World

Sure it was online, and sure it wrapped up ages ago already, but Rob is here to talk with Val about what he learned running the Square Based Online Tournament on Warhall. Val talks about the winners as well as the lessons learned from trying to keep the whole thing going. 

Special thanks to all who participated, and keep your ears peeled for information about SBOT2 kicking off in the Fall!

Yeah that's right! We said it! Not even click bait! This is an old fashioned knock down drag em out conversation about how big we think Old World can be for the Community and for Games Workshop's bottom line. 

No Age of Sigmar fans were hurt during the making of this video. Age of Sigmar is still a kick ass game with one of the best communities around. Rob still loves Age of Sigmar and Val will likely remain Sigmar Curious. 

No chapters today, sorry gang. So confident in the content that we reckon you can just randomly scroll to any point on the timeline and have a good time.

THEY SAID IT COULDN'T BE DONE: 5 HOURS OF CONTENT ON DWARFS IN A SINGLE WEEK, AND YET ROB AND VAL MADE IT HAPPEN. 

That's right your tremendously NOT hooked up Old World Talking heads are joining a bit late to the party with their razor sharp insights into the pretty pretty dang sweet Dwarfen Mountain Holds Arcane Journal. Fire up the play list and get set for some deep doiving into the mines of Karak Kadrin!

Chapter headings below! 

IT'S A DEEP DOIVE AND WE'RE OVER OUR HEADS. Get it? Because Dwarfs are SHORT. Val and Rob crack open the Forces of Fantasy and take //checks notes // OVER TWO HOURS to meander their way through every item and unit entry. Do they know everything there is to know about Dwarfs? Hell naw. But you better believe that they're a couple of little dwarf freaks by the end of it. Hope you enjoy, and shout us down in the comments. 

ALSO: at 01:03:36 Val gets jumbled up about Master Runes. You CAN combine them, just not with other Master runes. He apologizes for this grudgable gaffe. There are likely others.

On this one Rob and Val discuss some of the amazing resources that the community is creating to make your games of Warhammer the Old World run smoother and ... funner? Links to the apps below: 

tow.whfb.app - Incredible resource for referencing the core rules on the fly. Makes navigation far easier and has an outstanding search function. Work in progress. (Digital resources for many other versions of Fantasy can be found at whfb.app)

old-world-builder.com - Fantastic army building site. Clean and simple, does what it says on the tin.

newrecruit.eu - Platform for armybuilding developed for 9th age. Has all applicable rules on the unit entries themselves, reducing the need to cross reference multiple sources. Lots of great additional features as well. Can also generate unit cards that include all relevant rules for each unit for easy reference. Free to use. 

www.warhall.eu - Platform for playing tabletop wargames. Great for practice or trying out new ideas. Designed and created for use with 9th age and supports all the essential Old World mechanics natively. Does not use any copyrighted assets, so you can feel good about that. Integrates with newrecruit so that you can simply click one button and your army is ready to deploy. Totally free to play for 30 days with a subscription plan for premium features after that. 

Tabletop Simulator aka TTS  - Available on Steam, assets for Old World found in the Steam Workshop. Used more widely than Warhall but has a fairly steep learning curve to get to the tabletop. Once you learn the ropes though, provides another great way to play Old World online.
