ESSENTIAL Apps For Old World | Warhammer the Old World | Square Based01 Feb 202400:54:38

Our Patreon gets you exclusive access to Discord: https://www.patreon.com/Squarebased

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.

How Big Can Old World Get? | Warhammer the Old World | Square Based Show02 Aug 202401:14:36

Our Patreon gets you exclusive access to Discord: https://www.patreon.com/Squarebased

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.

While Val waits impatiently in his car for the January 20th release of Warhammer The Old World, Rob leads a discussion about what has been announced for wave one. The fellas play a little "smash or pass" on each new drop where Val (or maybe it's Rob?) reveals a controversial opinion about Grail Pilgrims (00:16:51). Finally they wrap up their steamy backseat affair with a chat about pricing and whether Old World is good value for the money (01:15:38).

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.
