 Well, that's it every time, but when you sit here in Magic HQ, you're either casting resin on a day or you're putting the screws in boxes or shipping them around the world or answering customer services, or dealing with all those rascal people on the internet. And sometimes you forget why we do what we do, and when you guys and girls all come here for a day and play our game and get excited about it and share your enthusiasm, it really lifts us, it really reminds us how wonderful what we get to do is. So thank you for coming, it's great for us when we wake up, it's a sunny morning, everyone's going to want to do it. We're going on Monday, we'll be buzzing because just seeing all the people enjoying it, that's kind of my lint. So thank you. So the hardest thing is getting all the way to that 2003 point army. So one of the things we've put in the big red book and I think we'll do it forever and will be a big throats for us is playing at less than a thousand points. It's a bit like this is test match cricket, and actually we've then invented one of the internationals and realised that's still quite long, only for the last hour of those is any good. So then it's invented in 2020 and actually we've tried in Van Gogh but it's a bit different between big red. So anyway, ambush is coming and so hopefully next year will be the year that we introduce lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of new people to keep them warm. Right, fantastic game, beautiful game, people are going to love it, some children love more than others. And so we ambushed out to be in Germany, we're going to have a slow grow league and we're just going to try and get people to come in and join us and stop that. Well I'd love to play your games but there's no one in my town that plays it. I think just by lowering that starting point could be a great way. I'd like to have twice as many people at Clash next year and twice as many people at England to join us. Obviously have much will be on the app for people to download, six armies, they'll be all plastic, so they're super cheap, we can't even realise it but it's quite paining. So just plastic's quite good. And forget I don't know what you're on with your heart. Sorry sir, halflings. Halflings, ogres, I think I'm jumping out of racking. Epistles, how many is that? You've got to buy a dozen ogres. Yeah, I took ogres twice as much. Good, there we are. So all plastic, chariots, goblins. Goblins. Goblins. No one cares about goblins. So what I'm going to talk to you quite a bit about now is a real treat. Ah, tree menders. Yeah, you can see where it's going. And whoever comes up with the best pun between now and the end so expecting heckling can take a tree home with them. So there is the best pun tree. What a treat. What a treat. There you are. I want to use that one. Right, now this is A because I'm a lot of genius. Or B, it takes me two years out of lipstick launch. But I've been playing games for about 30 years. And we started sculpting the inside of this spaceship about two and a half years ago. You know, I just felt a bit, didn't quite feel like we had an audience for it. Because our audience, all games were D&D. You know, we knew two great ones for D&D. But there was a little tree behind the back of one of the things, that's it. And then I played a game at the end of lockdown, paying all the stuff up. And jarring it, the trees down there wouldn't stand up on the wooden bases and I flopped them all, so I ruined them all then. Which was a little beautiful for me, that's the point. Rules? Yeah, well... And so, I never tried to play. It was in my excuse while the Dwarf Army didn't move for four hours. I couldn't get them through the words, because the words were blocking them. So then, I haven't really thought about it. But who lives anyway, they're all trees, you know, gothic trees, the plastic trees that came in the second kickstart. Right, the other thing is, I'm with Jean Williams, so I don't have a plastic tree for it. It's alright, it's in the graveyard set. Every graveyard has a tree, we end up, so it's fine, it goes in. Number one, selling items by a factor of four, in terrain grade two, a plastic tree. Going to Tallins in the summer, and all of them kings. A naked ball, a load of them. Paged them all up and put them on the little neoprene and then, hey, here's one with some lichen on it in the infreem fields, and here's one in a kind of white world, all black and purple and weird areas. Well, that's interesting, isn't it? Kind of a tree that took a ten seconds to scut. It's a number one selling item by a factor of two, so you've got no creativity in that kind of thing. And then I came back and we started all playing firefighter, firefighter kicking you out, and I looked at the gaming table, and I guess what I saw. That's what we play, sci-fi buckles. Because we're playing in Kent, obviously. And then that join with the plastic tree, and then that join with that little sculptor hand at the end of this. I don't know why. So I've never played in the main district or Yorkshire, so now we're going to play all gaming tables and look like your army looks. What it looks like is somewhere, well, not great. Obviously, back to us, give me some play on that. Yeah, well, come on, what are we doing? There's been thousands on our armies. We've been loads of time, we've built them together. And then we go and play on blinking railway trees, made out of wire, and some nasty lichen is hurried. So we're over, we're done with it. So that's a moment of genius. After that came an awful lot of pain. Because firstly, I had it on my head and I couldn't explain it to anybody. But what I wanted was cool-looking trees that were in three pieces, totally indigenible, so you could make a million different variants of them. So anyway, it took all ages to show the things, but eventually we got here. The things I think are really important with trees are that, one, they're not cool, and they're not too much work. I want to buy my army. I want to paint my army and individualize the trees. I want to get them, I want to do them, I want to make them look nice. Three hours. Okay, let's see what we do. You get base pieces. Base pieces are flat on the bottom and half, this is dipped. So I think it's concave. It's concave. Flat with concave, thank you. Middles are convex. Convex on the bottom. Concave on the top. And toppers are convex on the bottom. And have detail on the top. Which is good. One tree is enough. It's getting a little boring, isn't it? So then we find, what happened here? There's another base. How do we know it's a base? Flat on the bottom. And now, a couple of different top ones. I've got two trees. That's terrific. But there we go. So you're going to get a theme of different heights. Because this can go straight into the end. So you can start getting a bit of variety, but not too much work. Don't want to be curious. And then, because we get with the mushroom thing, we've got a mushroom tree. That's the same base. It's one of the base over there. It's on the Deadzone table. Mr. Deadzone, show us that right. Yes, let's go now. I've got a couple of different parts. There's a good part. So it's got a base. It's got a middle. And it's got a different topper. And then we can put this topper. And go... And then, when you pin those up, exactly the same, we now don't adjust. We're going to tie them differently. So I thought it turned out like this. We've got a new winner. He's here so far, don't get away yet. Someone's moved out to the front. And so, from those five, six pieces, because that was a little base there, just there, playing around, you're going to have these little bases. That goes in here. And then we thought, that's not clear. Let's also do a jungle thing. Now you're really crunchy now. Now we're both the end. So what we've done, the kind of base, a couple of middles, there's two middles here, and then that's the top. So that you can avenge. And by the way, because we've all got the universal fitting, if you want to run down the mushroom theme and the jungle theme, that's cool you can get away. But if you want to have the completely insane something out of our theme, here you go. You know what he's going for. Go back in time. So that, that's just cool, is our new sci-fi Odyssey trees. The way you paint them up, we'll make them entirely different. Alongside that, there's going to be another one or two tools like the toppers, because the topper is something that really makes it kind of wow, pop and sexy. So at that funding, we're going to have another three toppers. And each one of those toppers will come with just a mini base. So you can just mix and match, mix and match, you get scattered. And even a topper, is this size, it's going to be, we've got some big dangly bits. Don't go there. And so that's a different top and we've got another three, don't go. So you can get it by that point. Some mathematician can tell me how many places you get to do the hatch funds. That's your sci-fi trees. We'll give you lots of little bits and scatter any space on the tool that we have left. We'll just report it a little on a teeny topper or theme that you can just put on your basis so you can see what you're doing. Cool and funky stuff, but crudely, and it's cool. The first thing is, we are not going to present this for firefight. Don't say. We're going to present it to all those other people who may play quite a popular sci-fi game who also use really crappy trees and should know better. I'm going to put it out as a system agnostic for infinity, for Legion 440k, 430k, because we want lots of people to suddenly bump into our games and then, funnily enough, we'll forget to click some button and we'll send them rules for firefight. I've run down the mountain family tree. Yay! Now I'm getting just enthusiasm. So, there we go. There's a couple of other things that come with it. So we will have a beautifully modelled over there. Two maps. The left-hand side is the void. Wild and wacky and crazy. The right-hand side is a sci-fi one. It comes in three sizes. Six by four. Four by four. And whatever ridiculous proportions 430k is currently playable. I don't know what it is, but I know it's got a weird size. It comes in that, just in case we miss the subtle hint that the trees are for them. There's a game in time. Slides, if you're aware, build it. Two other things is we're going to get the neoprene map. The goat will be saying the void game goes on it. And this is the game. There you go, it looks beautiful. And then when you actually go in the water, it's back to the woods. There it goes. So, there'll be some add-ons. They're not going to be there if you don't want them. If you've got your own maps, no problem. The trees are in one box, that's a crate for the trees. You're going to make those. So you can have a bigger area in the woods. So, we haven't cut them yet. There's also one other thing that I haven't played a lot of Deadzone. Love it. Build all the ruins. A load of bits of stuff from the Exynostic for the Kickstarter and then build lots of the stuff that's in everyone's day today with the robble and putting other stuff on it. I spent hundreds of hours doing something with one simple piece of plastic what you've done for me. So, we've started just some great scatter terrain. So, we're going to join them all together. You'll see them all, but they're all just nice big lumps of terrain, spray, dry brush down in the gaming table where you go. In case they miss the subtle hints by giving them a gaming table the size they came with and the fact that it's those guys that are playing with those trees we also have some building templates because apparently in other games it's quite important to know if you're in or inside or outside a building. There's someone built a building today. There's someone on there, perfect. It's a building. By the way, anything said normally you go right back to building a template. Very easy. Two pieces here or a corner piece and you go okay. There's your template. There's no arguments again about how you do it. A little sit here. If you pick up a corner piece you can then mark out the back of it. It's really super clear how your buildings go together. It's quite a useful firefighter. Very useful for other games. So I do this and these back corners are sharp on the back corner so now that's where it is. I'll use a full piece here on the back corner where does the corner end where does it go to so it actually has game mechanics in it for those purposes and for normal people it just looks really nice. So there we are. So that's going to be a separate crate of F5 scatter contemporary scatter something that's going to be themed like our stuff something that's going to be themed like monasteries I don't know those kind of things and again that's going to be an add-on with the sci-fi crate. So we're going to wreck a little gig store. Don't expect anything like that. So we're wrecking up on Kickstarter a couple of weeks. We're going to whack it up. We'll need to do it while we're driving for a good sluggish time afterwards while we're getting on with making the tooling. It's going to be ferocious tooling costs so that's why it's Kickstarter because you just need that up front with that one set. Both your support will be greatly appreciated but even more you can go and roll it under the noses of all those other people and maybe just need an introduction to the wonderful world of what we're doing. Shouts of passes, credits, share it. What's the next thing? Will you do a clock crate? Yeah, we're going to do like single crates double crates with two trees so if you're going to like major on the trees I think we've then got Johnny on the arm we've got a pledge with there's a whole wargamer I want everything as a gamer and then the next one up is a club pledge and then I think there's a retail as well. So we're going to actually and the whole point will be that one, two, many many many but because we're going to be printing those mats we've actually gone to the Chinese suppliers and look, we don't know if we're going to need a lot of this size, a lot of that size but basically it's two stage price as you're printing silk, you get them made pre you give the things together and you cut them up at a good price so you can buy in bulk so if a club wants six, you know, there might be six mats three of each variety ten boxes of stuff four hundred quid I don't forget the exact numbers but it's kind of that order value too but for a club, for a store to literally just do everything there's the 151 for your whole gaming table pick one of those, pick three of these off you go and then we'll have obviously add on the goods and some of those other things where you can have a room in the city together with this and now it's kind of geared towards the hateful to game players and you've been playing on places of cardboard for a while it's a tiny tool to be dealt damn everything works so yeah, definitely clubs ones and, you know, clubs and tournaments, tournament organising I think is the top tournament club gamer at home just give me a box like in that one good, well that's sales pitch over so we'll do that I know you've had a good time I'm thinking about the DDS you've got a leak back there we've about done that a few of you got into the secret room that's kind of an exciting thing who have got that, what do we think good, very good do you know what was the highest score we got on the level one and we've had a bar in broad which is our first and you may well see that at some point in the future as well as on the shelf games that's coming out any idea when Romney I have but I'm just not going to say sorry I am the one with discretion I knew it because it's too exciting it's actually so exciting I'm going to mention England I'm so impressed I am disciplined there's no problem thank you if I've missed a few things go to blackjacknegicesvideo.com they asked today he's going to learn a good scoops and learn reveals as long as I just would be a bit making up the space I'm going to show you that one I have a big section of Dungeons & Dragons on there which is going to be making a big comeback that's going to be good fun design for finally talk about it online talk about ambush get the two players there in the new year do one of those it's going to be good fun we're going to start looking at some taster sets obviously we've got Armada coming out on the app subscribe on to that we'll get the full rules so if you've never bought the rules you'll just get them dropped straight in so you can have a little look have a little play I'm more excited to keep that going I've got a new I'll see them in the shoes they've got an interactive interactive terrain coming for that in the next year so volcanoes and forts isn't that right lots of stuff do you want to talk about the app? yeah that's a big question yeah we've got the mid game the second we print them there's a few areas in them and they're out of date that's what happens but you know what, it's fine then we get an easy army who builds his army lists in his background in the background and puts them up and we work with him to get the books but of course it's a bit of a coordination getting out for the third party and increasing and we've realised if we needed to have it now so we can be constantly working on it constantly keeping up to date and so a chap came along who's Elliot who built the W and he was really good and he'd come out because he was a game himself and he built it not only he'd built the army lists but he'd also done match hammer if this unit taxed that what's the likely outcome which is important to people so let's try this there we are then there's a few other things and then we've built the tournament organisation that's there we also have a living rule book in each one of these for every single game that's currently in the app so if you've ever tried Deadzone you have the entire two of the books not the three rules the three rules are in the three bit if you've got all the books all of our games and whenever you date them so when the Clash of Kings book comes out you go to Beth and so it's one of those things that when people get there they realise that if you'd never want to give us any more money for paper you don't have to why is that good for magic how much money is coming in so I can kind of spend it and secondly I don't have to print a book and send it all around the world to you if that's not important to you now I think I'll still be printing books for a fair few years to come but I don't need to and if you live in Chile I can't send it to you because it just won't get there and there's different portion of the cost shipping that book to you of course there's going to be a huge chunk of it free in front of the subscription and if you don't feel like subscribing no problem, you'll still have two army lists for every gaming system there'll still be all three rules to get you started so it'll be a whole section for all the ambush units in ambush you'll go up, you'll get it you'll get the QR code the QR code will take you straight to the rule book and you'll have to play, annotate to the army lists so you can actually put your army lists together with exactly what's in there to get you started and everything else tons and tons, if you go to a toilet or a subscription you'll still be able to use your army lists from the thing so please go have a look it is entirely free all of it until the end of January January 31st, 2023 so please there's codes there's one in your newsletter there's codes everywhere, you can find them NL, Jan 31 look on your newsletter so everything's out you can stick with the subscription just some people who haven't gone in it does have your credit card if you've done it the other way but you can go back five minutes later and cancel and it won't ever charge you and you can decide if you buy in January we will send out a reminder saying at the end of this month your credit card will be charged please cancel now and of course you'll forget but you'll just contact that customer service and they'll give you a refund so there's no drama but do go have a look and please go ahead and zone January 31 for a book now's your chance, you can have a read background in there, all the force lists you can build some army lists you can open that kickstarter too that you did four and a half years ago and put some models out and do them together and actually play so that's the app anything black, any great guy please do have it we think it's going to be a great way of just giving the game developing are you going to multi-language it because I see you've got lots of different languages yeah we will at some point at the moment we've got a full-time guy in France, thank you for that reminder I forgot about that we are putting Dead Zone into French on Monday so they've got their own little campaign so if you want to French for Dead Zone you might look out for it online on Monday so I think when we've got a few more games I don't know if we're going to internationalize all of it, we might just like, here's the digital rulebook it gives the entirety of the opportunity but we'll see there's a whole load of work that goes into the that living rulebook if you type in that word every occurrence of that word anywhere in the rulebook if you try to like line of sight in the Dead Zone rulebook here's all sections that we'll come up with it's that kind of stuff that's just a little bit of grafting there that Ellie has done that means that, you know, if you're mid-game and you just really want to know it's a lot quicker to just look it up here to go through this but the answer is almost certainly yes but we've no plans for that good questions, we're going to have a few and then we'll let you all head off home and go do your final looks this is our Chamber of Public I think for an open day that's true I'll get you to paint it which reads for Armada but I'm hoping that we'll see try them two years, one day which is possible 100% I think it's the most exciting thing we've ever done you used to go on your desk yeah, go on it's all right this is a bit like inside looking behind the curtain so this was a good story behind this is when you're making a shit game you know, open seas and you have an army that lives in the water what do you think the most obvious thing to do is squids this was the hardest one to get Matt to agree to 10 years for Matt to agree so you've got Trader Realms coming and the Bissell Dwarfs and in the middle of the year there's a new book coming covering these two armies with interactive terrain so volcanoes and falls and fortifications and what else nope, that's enough yes, add 10 some different ways of playing so it's going to be a massive I think it's going to be great for everyone that got it and painted it just reading bigger rates and getting back out again we're going to have a big push on the get everybody going and getting excited to try and bring the whole mother wave for people later keep the game boring the firefight we'll be getting a Clash of Kings style book and is there going to be any fancy new stuff in it yes and no so we need more players we need more people to play just lots more not a few more like ten times more how are we going to do that new armies don't have to do that get those and get excited about it we've got five, six armies and they're beautiful so can I say this yeah so it's going to have like 1.5 stuff just to make it smoother but we're going to go full pull tank pull we're going to add six to nine vehicles aside and so it certainly becomes a curse-esque where you have to have you in the tree to protect your tanks from guys coming up throwing pigs into their exit breathing piles so but really brigades of three regiments of three tanks anti-aircraft, anti-tank guns getting into position play the tracks off still since they're plowing away at the machine gun for the next couple of turns couple of reasons no other game that's a sci-fi war game does that they are firefighter with a couple of tanks and every time any other game mentioning their names adds tanks you get about three months and they nerf it because they rip so I think everyone's playing tanks so let's just give them tanks it will look fantastic our plastic tank kits are remarkable they're easy, they're actually really cheap we will do a high three for the price of two kind of box and we will give you a resin upgrade to make it a slightly different variant to make it a command variant to make it a blade of armor to light so all that gobbins that makes them really cool and interesting and unique so you can do your army building on your tanks so the raw switches have to do that easy I'll have to say it was so wrong that we haven't used any of that you cannot understand it was really easy and no one was worried about it in the slightest I think it's really enjoyable this is what happened when Matt let me talk to people he said I used to go to the kickstart so I just wrote it and put it in the kickstart then I said to do retail and stopped me doing that so now I just do the open play so yeah, there we go I think that would be really good fun we've got the plastics and I think that's the way who doesn't want to play that game who doesn't want to just go like we are having and keep people it's still going to be a 2 hour game it's not going to make it into a 6 hour apocalypse game we've got other plans for that so it's going to be it's going to be how do I go from 1000 to 2000 points this way still on a 6x4 just get them so they just I think people will be tough but I'll see but I know what to do you know this is why he wasn't live free it's too loud does that help? I think it's a beautiful game I think it's just a game to see that 1.5 polish to tap paper just to knock off the rough edges they said why should we go talk about armies and I said you know what it's not and what's beautiful about this game it's chunky now we do have a 255 tournament on there 29th of November down in September if anybody's interested that's a point you don't need a lot perfect, there we are so we're ready for another one if you haven't given it so do a great deal about aliens because we dedicate the app all events have a little section in the app now if you email it for some models such as the room by Dan Buster's and are there any plans to add varying pieces for the Dan Buster specifically the only one on the side is the Sentinel but obviously in the game you can have them as a unit 3 are there any plans to add varying heads or arms or this is a very worried look over there I think the question is how do we kind of complete out the Kings of War armies I think that's one of those ones and that's one of the reasons why we've see what we are going back to some of the armies we've done like the Elgars I'm going let's just get them really up to where we are now I like the Elgars and that was a hard one because the Elgars weren't bad even the PVC they were pretty decent models when you glued them together and got them on the army they were blinking good so it had to be a lot gooder not proper English to me to be so I don't know if you've seen has everyone seen the new overs today the new sprues they all just comes together doesn't it almost seamless they're gorgeous and we've got a new tool makers Luigi's been sculpting this level for ages and what's been happening between Luigi Scultz and the end product is he's been getting a great tooling process and that's obviously heartbreaking it's also one of the things why you don't press the big red button and it says tool everything bigger you get the goblins I think were remarkable they looked lovely and they came through the tooling process at 98% of them the best goblins on the market but there's other figures that have come out I just don't like the lack of detail down here I just don't like that you know it's not where I want to be so you don't want to go through 10 more so let's just go getting back to your question they varied the river guard very nearly made it into plastic in the early part of next year but they didn't because they actually pushed their way in front but we are making a very concerted effort over the next three years to both backfill units and create new units that push old boring inherited units out so there's nothing you push out trying around because it's our army but you know if you take the twilight kin and we are not going to do cool heavy army looking six foot elves because those nice arms out there they've been done, it's been done if you scratched it and scratched it so we're going to say what's twilight kin mother
