[warhammerneard]

Mr:u just got another sub :D

[lukie117]

good description but the t34 is by no means a "light" tank lol its bigger than the sherman

[RobotsGreatWar2]

@lukie117

T-34 is a medium tank.

[Demolitiondude]

@RobotsGreatWar2 Nasty mother fucker too.

[DerFeindr]

I mean, c'mon I could buy copies Panzers for all of my friends for the price of a board...

[DerFeindr]

How the hell do you get the money for all that stuff?

[legoWW2STARWARSdude]

how much are these cause i have over 200  airfix troops for only about $24

[legoshow100]

are theremoulds for flames of war

[legoshow100]

moulds for flames of war

[RainhillGamers]

These are great,really helps so much.

[Wargamerhub]

Thanks for making these, it answers a lot of questions

[XxBurlockxx1]

wht book do u recommend for a panzergrenider kompanie



[RawrGuitar1022]

so i am a complete noob and bought my first little $17 pack of russian soldiers today. does it matter if i have 6 people for an infantry base? thanks.

[mrwizard521]

Can i just use regular dice cause I have 36?

[legoguy275]

Wait you know about 40k removing weapons? O-M-G I thought you know only bout FOW

[TheFewzz]

I bet these are murder to paint , yours look fantastic!

[sebo24197]

the videos are great but the problem is it's expencive i am from croatia and i just can order it on the internet. in croatia 50 dolars are a lot it's 250 kuna and the minimum wage i think is 3000 kuna so it's a lot

[metallicafan114]

what set/figures do you recommend to begin with fow. is it theoretical the same as a&a minatures.

[TTRROOOOLLZZ]

fow are all 15mm rite or are some of them 20mm coz i collect 20mm ww2 figures like forces of valor and i have got some fow 20mm ? of ebay thnx

[Cl0kworkSniper]

Hi great vids you have helped me soo much. I had no idea where to start my panzergrenadier army before this. Thanks again man!

[TonPappa]

@MrConsumerWhore1 it takes $ to make games that could be played all over the world. you need people to ,make the models buy the programes, pay them wages online ads etc. its not gorribly designed. the rule book is one of the best ive seen. in games workshop 40k the back of the rule book is usless bc it goes by letter like in alphabetical order insted of situation prity much. ya IM mad that i spent money to supporting the economy and enjoy the game rather than spending my time making rules......

[TonPappa]

@MrConsumerWhore1 congratulations. want a medal?

[Rhubba]

I really like the rules, much better than Rapid Fire. I've spent a lot of time collecting 20mm WW2 and I didn't want to start from scratch with 15mm but it's simple to convert FoW to 20mm scale. I'm now looking for good reviews on game play.

[auzziboy1234]

can you make a tutorial on how to put grass and mud on bases please. because your like the best at modeling.

[TheTerrainGuy]

My boards are hundreds of dollars. But they are cheap as about 600 in some cases. Look at my newest video for pricing.

[xXxbradd3rsxXx]

@TheTerrainGuy How did you make/ or get those sandbags on the bases. Thanks. Great models btw

[mojonm]

@TheTerrainGuy Do you have to paint them like W40K

[TheTerrainGuy]

Well I have a few entire legal forces that under 200.00

[PhioenixPinion]

Wait, excuse me, as I look at your wargaming videos, the boards are gorgeous, so that must be why there so high priced.

[PhioenixPinion]

Are these things like overly priced? Because I see on the site, a board + a platoon is 120$....

Honestly, I can do this with army men at a small price of like 5$.

[TheTerrainGuy]

@PhioenixPinion Not really sure what you mean.

[PhioenixPinion]

@TheTerrainGuy if you look at the site and go to there online store, a board with a small platoon with what seems to be a transport vehicle, is 120$... I find that honestly over priced.

[vjrap]

@PhioenixPinion I used flames of war rules to base off of when I made my plastic army men game

[KillaMinis]

@PhioenixPinion - - Good luck with using plastic Army Men..That will have a real impressive look on the wargames table.LOL

[PhioenixPinion]

@KillaMinis Better then spending 100's of dollars on little fragile figures. >_>

That have too be painted, as well.

[PhioenixPinion]

@KillaMinis And who would give a flying fuck about the army men you use? Army men are used in actual strategy tables as well. (Cough) Real war (Cough)

All I care about is the board.

[TheFewzz]

@PhioenixPinion Its the materials needed to build a large board, the scenery and paints alone are hugely over expensive, look around you can find the same things like trees etc that are like a tiny fraction of the price , only differance is they arent packaged for mini wargaming (like kids play things), its unfortunate they exploit persons interested in this sort of stuff.

[minicm122]

@PhioenixPinion Well here's the thing. These models are made of metal, real metal. Its a mix of aluminum and some sort of steel I believe. The models are also extremely detailed, with the fact that you have to paint each one yourself meaning millions of ways you can customize your troops. A full army that you would have EVERYTHING YOU WOULD EVER NEED range from around $200-$600. Compared to card games and video games, these will last forever when you have one thing finished.

[PMMagro]

@PhioenixPinion Those are typically at larger scale are they not?

[hellball5]

@PhioenixPinion well army men are plastic for one. two army men are really cheap and WAYYYYY to big

[BlueCloneTrooper521]

Its not so easy in a Football based community to get people to play this :P

[TheTerrainGuy]

@NominusTheWise Actually, you don't have to have any specific number of the stands, its the stand size that is important, or if you have a specific type of figure on the base, ie. Flame Thrower or Panzerfaust.

[TheTerrainGuy]

@robeebv1 Roger that.  Tanks!

[TheBradleyClarke]

how do you magnatise them???

[TheTerrainGuy]

@TheBradleyClarke Simple apply a magnet to each piece, or a small strip of metal and a hidden magnet.

[ventrillo1]

whats the difference of middle early and late war?

[TheTerrainGuy]

@ventrillo1 Technology and the typical army size. Late war is more 1750 pts, vs. mid war its 1500 pts.

[TheXbox360Guys]

thanks for that this vid is very informative now i can learn how to play 

[TheTerrainGuy]

@TheXbox360Guys I will be doing a how to play vid series as well.

Marty[Red]

[Altier215]

hey mr. terrain guy, i have a question. on average, what is the cheapest army to get a legal army, and another question i have is if its easy to get over the learning curve.

[ultramarine1234]

probabaly a rifle company a british one.

[TheTerrainGuy]

@Altier215 I would say 200.00 your good to go, including the source book.

[Altier215]

@TheTerrainGuy, oh...i guess i cant play, already spending too much on warhammer 40k.oops, maybe some other time.

[greenskin3000]

Hey, just wanted to say great work on these vids. Thanks to your vids before this involving FOW I got even more interested in the FOW game and these vids made me wanna try it more. Been doing 40k for 10 years and it would be nice to try something else. And by the way, when will video 4 be up? =)

Thanks

[TheTerrainGuy]

@greenskin3000 Thanks very much.

[TheTerrainGuy]

Thanks a lot. Subscribe and stay tunded.

[stumpythumper]

This is great:)

And your doing a nice job of explaining things!

[TheTerrainGuy]

Thanks, I was wondering how helpful the vids actually were.

[Johnprime69]

Good job, very informative video!

[TheTerrainGuy]

Thank you

[charlieofgondor]

Hehehehe, true medium tank :D. The panther was the heaviest medium tank at the time Shawn, but I think you know that already ;)

[TheTerrainGuy]

Panther is a beast, and in the game and my army its represented well.

[RubbishInRubbishOut]

Nice work Shawn! Looking forward to the rest of these videos ... will try to catch you on Skype on saturday, i got a webcam and want to show you what Ive been working on re: our project.

[TheTerrainGuy]

You know we gotta chat.

[TonPappa]

[TheTerrainGuy]

Thanks a lot.  Subscribe and stay tunded.

[Renzero89]

Your giving me the 'bug' man!!! You know me.. Im a WWII buff and this is purking my ears to attention!

[TheTerrainGuy]

Ren, its my mission to get you playing this game.

[Catattafish]

Thank you so much for showing this, can't wait to see more!

Cat.

[TheTerrainGuy]

Thanks a lot. Subscribe and stay tunded.

[szlachcic22]

Thanks for doing these instructional videos Shawn. I love all your terrain vids, but there is a real lack of videos about the game itself on youtube, so I am looking forward to these!

[TheTerrainGuy]

I am doing my best to fill the void.

[underfire987]

hmm looks interesting but idk anyone in my area that plays the game so yea.. :/

[TheTerrainGuy]

So start playing, and get others involved. I started myself and others started with me, and I found other players that started coming out of the wood work.

[underfire987]

very true well i will first get this warhammer 40k army going with my friend and then i will go from their ;)

[Nuzazat]

Can´t wait to see more! I´m very interested in this game now i should force my friends to try it out with me.

[WarGamingTerrain]

Hee man the video is soo cool love the game maybe i am gonna buy some models!! take care bro!

[svinehunden]

great video... looking forward to learn more about the game :)

[spartanlemming1996]

great vid it helped me 2 understand fow a bit better.

[TheTerrainGuy]

You should enjoy the rest of the series

[spartanlemming1996]

I will

[Maalve1]

Nice, I already know a lot, because my gaming store is the biggest store in FOW of the Netherlands. But nice of you to do it this way.

[TheTerrainGuy]

This is meant to get people interested, sorry if its not that advanced.

[Maalve1]

No Problem, it's nice you try to make to community bigger, because a lot of people don't know it or don't like it, but the game is much better than any game GW ever made (imho)...

[charlieofgondor]

Definately, I think more needs to be done, but I need a decent camera, and knowledge of windows movie maker so I can throw decent videos together.

I also think this game is better than Warhammer fantasy and 40000.

[TheTerrainGuy]

I totally agree

[kenk9]

Where is that shop? Because i live in holland too (i talk english for the rest of the people :P)

[Maalve1]

Arnhem, Spelkwartier is its name, Steenstraat 4

[kildo]

awesome stuff

[TheTerrainGuy]

Thanks
