I really like this learn to play video - mainly because it's an actual game in progress, rather than the brief summary/explanations from the various cons:

Holy s**t - that's phenomenal! Looking forward to that video!

Thanks for that ... by way of comparison (in slowness) in BattleLore Ironbound only moved 1 too? (PS While I love your choice of Avatar, it's going to take some getting used to ... coming from the X-Wing forums, to me Budgernaut has always = Zuckuss, any one else using that avatar was an imposter lol)

Great paint job(s)!

Ok, this is getting silly - can I buy my core set now?

Are they slow in Battlelore? They're particularly fast in Descent (and have and incredible reach to boot!) I'm looking forward to Barghests as a really fast cavalry-esque unit ... even if they don't move far distance-wise I hope they have a low initiative... Death Knights would be cool too, but I've got a sinking feeling they'll fall into the Undead = low init category ... hopefully with something to compensate...

Not that I wasn't already excited, but I find this so incredibly heartening. Audio be damned - go for it! (please!)

While we're on the topic of Latari critters - can someone with enlighten me... what is/are Ventala? Ventala is mentioned in the Latari section of the Lore guide on p. 28:

That is such an awesome idea - it has quite literally made my day!

No I don't but looking it up I wish I did! I would have loved it at the time! My first cardboard chit exposure was playing the SSI War of the Ring in about '77 - '78...

FWIW they're using two adjacent 3x3 mats in the Learn to Play book on p.21 & p. 23... Might not be reflective of the final product, but I guess it's a sign they're working on it. (here's hoping they actually offer a 6x3 in the end)

I still use a 5mm black felt for X-wing ... far less slippery than most mats ... does tend to pick up fluff and other cruft. I want to pick up something nicer for Runewars, but I'm going to settle for green felt in the short term...

I was going red cloth for my undead with a standard silver metal for the armour, but Sorastro's pushed me down the gold route I fear. Still looking to paint Ardus' armour red Vlad the Impaler style. I still haven't made my mind up on the colours to use for the Lancers...

Ditto!

You're right loki_tbc's suggestion was elegant.

Heh... I get a little tic in my eye every time I think about the fact that the Archers can use shield wall and the Reanimates can't... *sigh*

Here's hoping! I'm hoping that in support of the game FFG runs some non-product release articles on things like this...

For terrain that can by occupied, the key thing is to make sure it can fit the actual trays, either through having the actual clear space from the get go, or being modular so parts can be removed (as suggested by FFG in the Runewars Lear to Play book). Of the four terrain that units can enter in the core (Crumbling Wall, Stone Terrace, Swamp, and Forest), to my mind only Forest would present the most creative opportunities to accomodate unit trays. If I were building a 3D version of the forest now, I would sit the actual terrain cutout underneath it and remove the 3D part when a unit enters, replacing it when it leaves...

Hi - I'm sorry you're having a rough time with RTL... You've got a good combo of characters there for a two character campaign ... just a couple of questions - You mention you used the two hero free attack rule, were you also making sure that if you didn't use the attack you were healing? One thing that a lot of people miss is that Monsters can only attack once unless otherwise stated - this makes a massive difference (it was something I missed when I first played). Another thing to check is that monsters are only using remaining movement points to retreat unless the App gives them a move action.

Ok, so help me out here ... there's always one blue rune and 50% of the time there's two, so he's causing the enemy unit to suffer 1 - 2 wounds. I assumed this was direct damage like a mortal strike. The article uses the phrasing "deal damage," but the card uses the term "suffer." Looking at 22 Damage and 54 Mortal Strike in the Rules Reference doesn't clear things up - both sections use the keyword suffer, with Mortal Strike qualifying it with "directly" to note it bypasses armour. So this 1 - 2 damage would still be affected by armour, right?

Second quarter 2017 is the date given ... to put that into perspective - the core set is "Fist Quarter 2017"

Ah, phew - thanks!

Did they forget to reveal one musician upgrade or is there only one in the pack? Daquan had a reveal of two upgrades for each model...

"These Champions abandoned the tenant of mercy long ago" Apparently mercy hadn't been paying the rent...

Ok, so I came across this and thought it would be of interest... I'm sure we're all familiar with the terrain and boards used for the FFG demo tables from various con photos and videos - well here are step by step guides on how they were made by the guy who FFG commissioned to make them... https://robhawkinshobby.blogspot.com.au/2016/08/runewars-terrain-part-1-swamp-boards.html https://robhawkinshobby.blogspot.com.au/2016/09/runewars-terrain-part-2-castle-ruins.html https://robhawkinshobby.blogspot.com.au/2016/09/runewars-terrain-part-3-ruins-and-arches.html https://robhawkinshobby.blogspot.com.au/2016/09/runewars-terrain-part-4-painting-and.html Loads of other good stuff on his site too!
