[redfox4242]

Impressive video. Thanks for uploading.

Are you sure that last dwarf is dead... or just drunk?

[RobertJFreemantle]

@IIGECKOII Very good point :P

Excellent review, very well presented and discussed. I've just painted up the figures, but have yet to play the game.

[RobertJFreemantle]

@chancerNW Oh thanks so much for your words. I also did an actual in depth review of the mechanics of the same etc. If you have a look at my newer videos.

[sp1k8]

Haha! I'll remember that... OHH YES!

[ludoeksel]

seems they like your review, I ended up here from their blog.

expect to see the number of views go up in the next hours :-)

[RobertJFreemantle]

@ludoeksel Great stuff. Have you been playing the game yet? If so, do you like it?

I'm considering doing a review video soon.

[ludoeksel]

@RobertJFreemantle Haven't played it yet (or bought it) but I intend to visit their stand at Salute this saturday and hopefully play their demo game...

I'll be taking my camera along :-)

Strange that only one of your undead sprues came in bone-coloured plastic... Normally they should all have this colour.

[RobertJFreemantle]

@Darkover1981 Hmm interesting...

[woodwwad]

thumbs up

Great job with this, one of these days I'm going to learn how to use the tools on my comp to do a better job with my vids.

that's interesting that you can assemble the models lower & upper bodies differently. I'm not a big minis guy, so I didn't know a lot of this.

[RobertJFreemantle]

@woodwwad Hey thanks a lot for checking it out.

Yeah I'm a massive minis guy. I love all the tabletop wargames like warhammer etc. I call it chess with dice :P

In regards to making the video, I did a voice over so that I could concentrate on what i'm saying better separately. This allowed me to pretty much keep talking for 9 mins straight about just one box. This also meant I could edit the footage heavily to cut out of a lot of un-required footage that many similar videos have.

[woodwwad]

@RobertJFreemantle sounds like a good approach. Do you use a web cam or a separate cam for this?

[RobertJFreemantle]

@woodwwad I use a Sony Handycam Wide LCD DCR HC90E. TBH with you, I don't go much on it. I'd prefer a really nice high tech camera with easy manual access to F stops etc.

[woodwwad]

@RobertJFreemantle hmm, I'm going to have to think about that. I'm less than happy with the web cam I use. It will focus in & out a little sometimes & doesn't provide as good a picture as I see on some others vids. Also I've been told the lips & sounds don't totally sink up. It sucks as I paid $100 for the web cam.

Excellent unboxing and review. Very professionally done.
