Burrows & Badgers Miniatures Showcase | What's In My Collection?
I have been painting Burrows & Badgers miniatures from Oathsworn Miniatures since the Rulebook was released AND before that when it was simply a download you could cobble together. With that in mind, I go through a bunch of different miniatures I have painted over the years.
► Burrows & Badgers Miniatures www.oathswornminiatures.co.uk/c/4553237/1/burrows-badgers.html
Now you've seen some of the miniatures for yourself, do you think you could be convinced to paint some Burrows & Badgers for yourself? Let me know in the comments and tell us what miniatures from the range are your favourite.

Unboxing Clear Plastic King Of The Dead Warriors Of The Dead! They Finally Arrived
Stupid minis , pain to transport and no goblin git infantry ofcource. Again an army what gw ruined totally. Well have to wate and see if chaos dwarfs come in 5 years or so...i hope id started 40k instead aos few years ago. Aos minis are so ridiculous to transport and paint.
Magnetic sheets and big storage clear plastic storage boxes do the treat for a lot of the modern GW Warhammer range. I think they look great and it's cool that the theme is an all mounted force. Gives them a point of difference from the other Gloomspites but you could mix and match if you liked. I am eager to see what they do with the Chaos Dwarfs/Chaos Duardin. Totally agree on even the rank and file being a massive pain in the arse to paint though.
The army books look good I think. Got them yesterday. I like the special theme rules. There really should be plenty of variety to satisfy most list building tastes if players just keep an open mind (46 different lists in the LotR book alone). Notably, the "Narrative Play" page in the rule book states to do whatever you want in a casual game as long as both players agree. I'm guessing it's only GW official matched play that might require strict adherence to one of these lists.
Yeah will only be required in official tournaments. I assume a lot of other tournaments etc will be more open to you doing different things.
Another one i was thinking but maybe im wrong middle earth dwarf warrior or dwarf ranger sets 60bucks cad 24 minis multiple weapon loadouts could easily kitbash and greenstuff a few heros out of many henchmen!
Could easily do so! You could have a lot of fun with those sets to make some Treasure Hunters for sure
@BecauseOfDragons excellent video just got into tabletop war gaming last december AoS 4 but it has opened my eyes go all things fantasy table top and Mordheim looks fantastic!
When is the snow troll going to be released
I would imagine it will be in the new year (January) at this point
I just painted up my first warband last week, and I've got a handful of the newer Kindred Knights on the way. Love painting these so much.
Awesome to hear - deffo some great miniatures!
Love these minis, just got my 3rd order from Oathsworn, their order always arrive very fast 👌
Awesome stuff - they are speedy with their deliveries!
Very nice. Just bought a load of Skavern on eBay. Some great bargains. Basically a new spearhead box for £40
Ah that's awesome!
I cannot endorse any rules set that says that Glorfindel hasn't been removed from the game....but there is not a single way you can legally play him.
Currently - I would imagine his rules will be in the new Armies Of Middle-earth book which is coming in the new year.
Great video, one of my favourite skirmish games becsuse of its approachable theme. :) I once mailed back and forth with the author earlier this year and we got to talking about single race warbands. He apparently feels that for the most part people chose the option for the double skills at the start but more importantly. He feels that single race warbands no longer adhere to his developed perception of Burrows and badgers. So he is opting to drop it. Advocating for the critters to unite under a cultural ideal or idea rather than race.
Sounds like a great idea for the new edition. Gets people to start painting all manner of different creatures and more fun projects :)
If there only was a *system* on the internet where you put all your minis on one page as a big *project* to see them *on the table*. But seriously do a big "army" shot with terrain and stuff. Make it shine!
I just might have to do some proper gallery photos for the project system aye!
Burrowing deeper into the depths. Just don't come running when you go to deep!
I wonder what the B&B version of a Balrog would be...a very angry, overfed Bat?
@@BecauseOfDragons A dwarf. Or a human miner. A very angry one.
That squirrel and that rat warrior ❤ i'm new to this game and really enjoying your videos on it so far.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! Hope you're enjoying painting up your miniatures :)
The Gary Chalk artwork was a big factor in my initial purchase of this! Hope it is not going away.
I do like Chalk's work too - he's a great artist.
So where can one get the legolas on horse model for the ride out list?...
www.warhammer.com/en-GB/shop/The-Three-Hunters-Mounted-2020?queryID=20f4df197b181c258cffd0919d1c60a1 maybe they intend folks to use this one. Or, they will do some re-releases of the old miniatures in the near future
...would obviously have to have Gimli separate

That second badger looked so good it took me back to the days of watching the stop-motion Wind in the Willows series. And now I'm wanting to put together a warband featuring a badger, a rat, a mole and a toad. Damnit.
And a few clicks later I have: Pi-rat, Mole Tunneljack, Badger Mage, and Frog Burgher. No idea if they world together, let alone are any good, but they all look the part. All they need now are some suitably nefarious Weasels to oppose them.
Awesome! Glad that you're taking a leap into the game and picking up some of the minis! Most creatures will work together regardless so it's all about theme really :) Of which this now has spades.
@@BecauseOfDragons to be honest, I'm not leaping just yet. I'm one of those weird ones who likes buying direct from makers, but lives far enough away that shipping is often a pain. But maybe one day.
Great collection Ben. Love some of the colour choices. I'm so jealous you have so many. I need to expand my collection.
Thanks for checking out the vid! A lot from Kickstarters (some of which I haven't finished) need adding!
Very nice mate. The miniatures were what got me into the game to start with. They are just gorgeous sculpts that are a pleasure to paint.
Thanks! I am always drawn to new Otters and Badgers whenever previews pop up from Oathsworn the most!
Thanks Ben. it's a solid ruleset, which is staying mostly the same in the new rules. We are just about to start a 4 player campaign using the beta rules. Magic users are good support pieces, and the few times I've tried warbands without them I've generally regretted not having someone to heal my models. Haven't tried the all magic user warband yet, but that looks interesting.
Ah brilliant - always great when you can get stuck into a full campaign with a bunch of people!
Nice review I've so far played one solo game to learn the rules Are hills treated as difficult terrain when going up them?
Really nice to see your collection. The figures are really nice to paint and are so different to the usual models I paint. Another smashing video and an insight into your work.
Yeah, it's one of the reasons why I enjoy painting B&B. So different and a bit more relaxing than the classic rank n' file batch painting.
nice minis
Thank you! Reminding me that I need to get back to painting the rest of the collection
It is a game i've been looking for some time now, as a fan of redwall, mouse guard and such. Very sweet intro, please do continue, and here's my suscription so i won't miss the next B&B video !
Ah awesome - hopefully you like the flick through the rulebook that has just come out.
I was just getting into this game. I haven't even purchased any mini's yet and I literally bought a tablet to get all the epub books and when i went today to start downloading stuff it only had 3 books on preorder? What happened to the old books that were only epub? Am I able to get them or did I miss the boat? I am really confused on what is going on and what I am able to buy and play now. Any advice @Bcauseofdragons would be appreciated. Truly.
My problem with the first point being the last alliance for example was Gil Galad, the elves of Lindon, Elendil and the men of Arnor, Elrond and the elves of Rivendell, Elves of Lothlorien, Thranduil and the elves of Mirkwood, Isildur and the men of Gondor even the dwarves of Khazad dum. Not just high elves and Numenoreans.
They have to focus the army lists (at least in the first two books) on those represented in the films. There's the chance we could see more wide-ranging army lists in future expansions/supplements of course.
Lovely minis and rules
I agree! Great game worth getting stuck into
@@BecauseOfDragons yes, I'm painting up two Warbands and the terrain and gonna teach a couple of my friends to play it
And now its about to change lol
I'll no doubt be back with another update in 2025!
Even use the word (work) lol
Keep up the good eork
hah thanks!
Another reason to love our Loony Gitz
Indeed! Plenty of fun to be had with the faction
I think I'll stick to the current edition
Nothing wrong with that at all of course - different strokes for different folks :)
I can understand these changes will disappoint people who've only played DIY army lists, but this is the nature of playing a licensed game. And making the rules match the models should be no surprise to anyone familiar with Games Workshop. What will be interesting is what happens with the Battleforce Boxes. If they keep them, will they get rebranded for specific Legions (a bit like AoS Spearhead)?
That will be interesting. It would be good to see them do a Legendary Legion boxed set for a few forces to get people going at 400/600 points. That would involve them either doing Made To Order runs to include the metal minis OR maybe just see some reinventions in plastic to accomodate them...that could be neat!
...could easily see them becoming something like Defence Of Minas Tirith or Ravagers Of The Westfold etc
@@BecauseOfDragons I feel like they're going to need to remake some older models in either plastic or resin, because a lot of these Legions will rely on key models which are surprisingly hard to get.
These Armies look good.want to see the starter
Yeah I particularly liked the Osgiliath one. I thought that was a very cool idea and a good way to show the bond between Boromir and Faramir with the special rule.
Having never played but I do own a few miniatures from box sets, I am definitely looking to playing this edition. I love the sound of these themed army lists.
Yeah I think it sounds like a great idea for getting people excited to recreate moments from the movies/books etc

Great video Ben. You should show some of your minis off. I'd love to see them. Really excited for the new edition. I hadn't realised the Sarissa terrain range was as large as it is. Another one for the shopping list.
Will get on showcasing some of the miniatures and diving into the rulebook as soon as I can! I deffo need to get my Sarissa terrain out of the bag it's in (somewhere) soon! Thanks for watching :)
Never really played path to glory ever, but this has got me excited! Also how has there not been any path to glory books since the two in the first edition of AoS????
I know, it's mad that there were those books back during the first edition and then nothing! Feels like they could have done something during 3rd Ed especially. I will get a proper look at this when it's out for sure :)
There was one in 3rd edition called season of war thondia. The main three armies that the story followed were stormcast, bonespliters and beast fo chaos. They only made one book though it was open for a sequel or second book

So far, so good in my book. I'm seen some grumbling about the 'pick one option' rule for the Warriors, but it honestly makes sense (especially from GW). The same is true for the shift to only Legendary Legions. Having recently watched the the filmdreg (sp?) video on the early days of the game, I'm surprised they didn't bring this in sooner.
Yeah it seems like a good idea just to simplify the way you build your warriors etc. I was doing that anyway so it's not a massive issue in my head. I am intrigued to see the army building rules in more detail later this week.
I can understand the sadness of less conversion options, but like you and I feel most people, I just used what came out of the box, so for me personally I like this change.
I use a lot of proxies from warlord and footsore miniatures
Definitely a good idea. You can also get some great stuff from North Star's Oathmark range as well now :)
havent managed to play the game yet, but have been collecting minis for a while. Easily my absolute favourite miniatures range. Loved the theme of the game since i first discovered it, and being a Redwall fan growing up i knew this was a game i had to get into. Miniatures are an absolute blast to paint, and incredibly "easy" as well. It doesnt take a lot of effort or skill to get these minis looking exactly how you want them too. They are great for "palette cleansing" as well, if youve just been powering through a large project, pick up a couple of these and just enjoy yourself. Alternatively if youre in a bit of a slump and struggling to pick up a brush, i also find these minis are fantastic for getting you back into the swing of things as, like i said, theyre easy to get looking fantastic, and painting a fantastic looking mini and being proud of yourself is a great way to get motivated again
Totally agree!
Rules? Where we're going, we need no rules! *throws random dice*
Good ol' chucking dice and making it up!
@@BecauseOfDragons one April Fools Day, GW should release their own version of 'One Page Rules' where it just lists a bunch of potential situations and the task for each is 'each player rolls a D6, highest roller decides.'
I'm loving everything I've seen so far
Yeah it all seems to be done in the spirit of making the game easier to dive into and play which is always good.
If you like what I do and fancy giving me a little donation, a Ko-Fi is always welcome ko-fi.com/becauseofdragons
NIce! I've just realised I've been playing B&B since 2019. Very much looking forward to the new edition 🙂
Awesome - that's a long time burrowing and badgering! It's a fantastic game :) Do you think you'll start a new warband for the new edition?
@@BecauseOfDragons I'm always creating new warbands. I think it's good fun for players to regularly field a brand new warband, say every three games. They can always go back to an older warband in the subsequent game. Keeps things fresh!
Are they going to do new Rohan cav?
I would imagine they will do new Rohan cavalry to suit the new Warriors on foot. No news about it yet but my fingers are crossed.
❤️🤘🔥👍
Lol what? Those models looks 30 years old
...and look absolutely amazing, yep!
wow these look incredible. super poppy colors
