Quar is wild because the minis are adorable and have names like admiral mcsnoots rhyfllymen, and then you read into the lore and it's ww1 trench warfare.
@@declanjones8888 Skirmish game, they have two main games, Code One is the newbies version and N4 the grown ups one (it's quite complex and CO is not bad at all. I mostly play CO. N4 is just more, wich is amazing but it's also amazing theres a smaller game to start) It's set in the near-ish future. Couple hundred years from now. It's based on real-world countries and stuff. Most sci-fi fantasy stuff is basically advanced tech they discovered at some point like super materials, wormhole stabilization or super organic medicine and specially IA So basically, humanity colonized a handful of planets, most modern countries reorganized themselves in super countries led by PanOceania (Australia, India, Indonesia and another non-US liberal countries) and YuJing (super China that "won" the cold War against the US and the UE but have been now overtaken again by PanO, sorta) Humanity has had some wars but the powers are mostly at peace... Except the aliens attack. Basically the covenant. At current point of history it's not yet a full on war but multiple beach heads... Like Tyranid invasion for example. Infinity is more of a spec ops game than a full on wargame, so mission between human factions (Wich are the most since theres only one (quite big) alien faction... I mean they're two but the big bad is the EI, the covenant) are spec ops and black ops between them. Stealing information, selective assassination, stuff like that. Humans aren't at war with each other buuuut we all now there's a cold War underneath. Still, for ordinary people is still normal life. Factions are super cool. I love that they're realistically humans but still super original. PanO, basically liberal utopia. The ultra power. Tolerant, religious, technological. They've got literally power armored catholic knights. YuJing. Super powerful china. Communist empire (yeah future politics are weird but they tried to make them quite realistic). They're... China. Best heavy standard army and ninjas. Nomads. 3 anarchist super ships based on unrestricted information, unrestricted labor, and unrestricted trade. They've got a mix of everything. And I mean it. The most expensive mech and armed furries in the same army Ariadna. A Lost colony of old powers, Russia, US and UE that developed their own culture. Brave, bold, backwards in tech but they've had werewolves so... Haqquislam. Golden age of Islamic science and culture 2.0 rich, asymmetrical, they've got a monopoly on medical tech. They've got Capitan Islam basically. 0-12. ONU but actually useful Aleph. So... Yeah. THE IA, all the others are baned (say that to the nomads). Basically a computer god that care about humanity... And has cloned Achilles as a captain in their independent army. The combined army. The covenant of Halo basically, lead by the Evolved Inteligence, another AI god but... Gengis Khanish. They've got a super weird army but they're scary as hell. Also the gameplay. Complex but the basics are easy to learn. The action economy system is amazing. You have a set amount of moves and can distribute as will among units. Best part, the other player can have a mini reaction if you move someone in their line of sight. Stealth and speed are extremely important so there are also camo and paratrooper units and hacking is a thing. Sorry for the long text I really got excited XD there are not many players, but it's a great universe. I really should try to play it more. Corvus Belli is also an amazing company. All rules are free, models are super crisp and cheap compared to the devil, proxy is legal in tournaments, and there are free oficial (I think) mods for tabletop simulator.
You know in Smiling Friends cannon there was the great critter war (critters are what Pim and Charlie are). So, comparing Smiling friends with Quar goes deeper than you think.
Company of Heroes styled would be a better fit, but CoH1 was the logical mechanical improvement to DoW1 anyways. Too bad they didn't keep the lessons going to into DoW2 until it was too late for anyone to care, and then new people completely botched DoW3 and CoH3 when both should have been super easy slamdunk wins and money printing machines.
Me and my brother have been talking about using the quar as a tau axuilla race that joined the greater good. Makes fighting the weirdly adorable race as imperium kinda sad in a way lol
I'm so happy that the Quar are getting some attention. It is definitely a labor of love from their creator, and the passion and creativity shows. They're cool little models, and the game itself is fun (with an interesting turn mechanic). I'm looking forward to more of your Quar stuff.
A cool thing with Quar is that if you want vehicles you can through in basically every pre-WW2 vehicle or tank and they fit the aesthetic. Just no Panzers, T34s, or Shermans really.
Nice vid! I saw quar a while ago and almost got some, but my pile of gray is far too large. You NEED to try killteam tho. IMO it’s legitimately the best gamesystem GW ever made
I really like how you brought up that the fighting forces are all Quar, because that's what really captures me about Battletech, is that the differences are all in the culture and ideologies which makes them seem to burn all the hotter.
it's weird seing so much Quar stuff over the last month, it feels like a lot of people are finding out about it and it's gaining a lot of traction of youtube and reddit. Very neat video! I'll have to check this out!
A fun little detail about wargames atlantic bases is that you can glue figures with puddles on the other side. And then all you have to do is to fill the rest with whatever you feel like. Keeps everything level. And WGA uses the same kind of plastic as GW. Maybe not an exact blend, but high impact polystyrene is high impact polystyrene. The fits are not as precise though, so I will suggest a thicker plastic cement instead of extra thin.
As a warning, Heavy Gear's plastic models are terrible. I did a bunch on commission a few years ago. Cheaply produced and brittle plastic compared to other manufacturers. They cost far more than the old metals they replaced and have significantly worse detail. I have never seen a transition from metal or resin to hard plastic that was a straight downgrade and worse deal before.
@@LS-yp1ne good to know. I guess I’ll ultimately just stay with my own rules set then. My gaming club moved to a modified form of another game years ago. It was just easier to tweak someone else’s game and cut out all the 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ nonsense.
I found out about Quar from Eons of Battle and have been intrigued by it ever since. Your channel has fed my appetite to learn more and actually play the game. I have never been a wargamer or played one, but this would be my first time. Your videos are great, and I have now subscribed. I love all your Quar videos, and I am sure I will start watching some 40k ones, too!
They remind me of the wombles. If you are Genx from the UK, you know. The quar war is so dark. It's like the smurfs had a world war. Or the Muppets had a knife fight. I just ordered a platoon of cofty's
You, stranger, have single-handedly brought Quar from the mire of obscurity into my life and emptied my pockets of cash in an immediate, inspired endeavour to buy every single little man, so thank you, and damn you.
Oh these little dudes rule. Popped up in my recommended and while I'm not a tabletop person, I can always appreciate the artsyness of these things. The Quar are a new personal favorite.
I kind of like this mundane alien astetic. If the Imperium were to Invaders the Quar they wouldn't be met by overwhelming numbers, advanced technology or uncanny alien intellect, but just by an unsettling human-like stubbornness
Master. We are in a tight spot. Such a tight spot! Miniature Painting and kit bashing has become a newly discovered passion for me: I'm glad the syndicate of assasins is referenced (albeit only trough audio cues) in your material - I'm happy i found your content. In the name of Harman...
This game really really reminds me of the video game FOXHOLE. The two sides are green and blue. Blue is old school and vaguely French, the green is fighting for change. Both sides are in the wrong. I spent why to much time play foxhole so This right up my alley. Thanks man.
I played for like a week straight between Christmas and NewYears a couple years ago. I loved wasting the fruits of labor of some poor midwestern kid on winter break
@@ImmobileLizard I for four wars straight spend early to midwar grinding resources by myself to make 100 heavy tanks with ammo and full kits for when They unlocked. my guild would Hammer all of them and hand them out to all those waiting for there MPF's to bake. I am very used to wasting my time for someone who tells me Im wasting resources.
Just wanna say THANK YOU for the turn out! Never in my wildest imagination did I think this video would blow up to this level. I also wanna mention that if you wanna order plastic quar minis, I Implore you guys go to wargames-atlantic.myshopify.com/?ref=mish_mash. Gives them more incentive to produce more models on their end!
It's a great cover video! Great work! Also, I have the original books, signed by the creator, if you would want them. I live near the Bay Area and years ago used to play a lot of mini games and saw them at conventions. Best of luck in your other videos.
UA-cam randomly recommended me this video and I'm so glad it did. Loved this! I'm sharing it with everyone I know and now I'm browsing Wargames Atlantic.
I found out about Quar last year or so, and instantly became enamored with the whole vibe. So I was really glad to see Wargames Atlantic, one of my favorite third party manufacturers, work together with Zombiesmith to bring these Little Guys to hard plastic. If I didn't already support WA's "The Damned" campaign, and thus have one already, I'd be tempted to turn Quar minis into a Guard army. I might still grab a box and kitbash a Kill Team out of it, though, somewhere down the line. They're just awesome sculpts and work really well as Abhumans.
Not only the first video I see from this channel, but also my introduction to my new favorite system? As a guard player with a 3D printer, my excitement is immeasurable and I am visibly generating energy.
I've decided to give Quar a chance because I love the lore and it feels very Welsh in vibes, so I think I'm gonna get the Clash of Ryfles box and try to get people at my local store to play it
I looked up the tanks and got some expensive and or complex build ideas, the first of which is scaled up RC and only partly based on the official models. Gonna look at your TONKS video next too
Man, I remember seeing this when I first started getting into tabletop, 15 years ago. It was called This Qwar’s War back then haven’t played any war games, but I might try this one.
I walked into a game store interested in warhammer, if the price didn’t scare me off the smell surely did but these are cool and have given me a drive to make a scene or two to display my love for ww1 history. So thanks pretty cool to show this off never would’ve found it otherwise
Man, I think Jay's video last week basically revived the interest in Quar! I've been out of the hobby for a few years now but these minis might bring me back. Nice video.
To those of you suggsesting that Quar could take place in Smiling Friends lore, you need to understand that Smiling Friends world building is branched from our own existing world. Like how Richard Nixon avoided being caught in the Watergate Scandal, managed to win the Vietnam war, and stayed in office for long enough to be re-elected for a second term.
Some of my favorite 'historical' figs out there. Very endearing as you mention. Thanks for bringing them to people's attention. Regarding vehicles. I have 6 ZombieSmith tanks of various kinds, and a few armored cars - metal. I use some WWII Japanese Field Guns for artillery and I think any 1/48th scale WWI armor plastic kit would work well too. I use Lledo 1/64th scale 1930's cars trucks and overpaint them in military colors. I was waiting for APCs from ZombieSmith but haven't checked their website in a while. [I use Quar for various WWII rules and completed a Norway 1940 campaign a while back]
You should definitely check out more Wargaming alternatives- some absolutely phenomenal creativity and super unique miniatures out there. Some of my favorites- Malifaux, Infinity, Bushido, Relicblade, Moonstone, Conquest: Last Argument of Kings, Judgement Eternal Champions, Kingdom Death
I literally just heard about this game about a week ago and am looking into it, your video popping up was a pleasant surprise! Now even more interested in picking it up.
Quar very much have this sorta vibe that reminds me of Ralph Bakshi films and old Opus comics, and a small splash of the water-color charm of the 1995 movie adaptation of The Wind in the Willows. You know, the sorta vibe that old European comics and newspaper strips used to have, if that all makes sense.
Wait, you're a Kentuckian too? Holy shit, small world. Anyway, I was curious about this game. Have been since I saw those models when Wargames-Atlantic put them out. Started telling friends, no one gave a shit, and there wasn't a lot about it out there. Appreciate the video.

First video of yours I’ve ever seen and I have to say (1) Excellent video; it was clear, concise, and fun; and (2) your OC is adorable!!
Man, I remember seeing this when I first started getting into tabletop, 15 years ago. It was called This Qwar’s War back then haven’t played any war games, but I might try this one.
I walked into a game store interested in warhammer, if the price didn’t scare me off the smell surely did but these are cool and have given me a drive to make a scene or two to display my love for ww1 history. So thanks pretty cool to show this off never would’ve found it otherwise
a war game full of little creatures that psycicpebbles loves so much
I ordered the box that you showed in this video for my father and I for Christmas, very excited, thank you for introducing me to Quar!!!
I would love a trench crusade painting video (I'm in the middle of painting two warbands and desperately need inspiration)
Crazy thing is I first saw Quar over at EoB. Jay put little mushrooms on his..lol Great content here, thanks for sharing!
_"Quar... Quar never changes"_
i love their little worm noses
Resembles drawings by Vaughn Bode. I wonder if his son (also an artist) is a leading artist in this game.
All one guy, Josh Qualtieri c: (Though bode's art definitely influences him)
The quarreling quorum of the Quor war.
I didn't realize how well this did! Congratulations!
IT'S YOU JELQUIUS! YOU'RE THE QUAR!
First time hearing of this franchise at all....and I'm really lovin these cute lil guys and their WW1-esk conflict. :D
Quar. Quar never changes
Man, I think Jay's video last week basically revived the interest in Quar! I've been out of the hobby for a few years now but these minis might bring me back. Nice video.
Quar… Quar never changes.
man
I just want to say "thank you"
Quar is great, I bought it after watching your video, it's my first wargame and I am having such fun with it
I’m ironically putting together the Quar starter box myself…
UA-cam recommended me this video today and I’m immensely happy to know about a new mini world. Thanks for the vid!
To those of you suggsesting that Quar could take place in Smiling Friends lore, you need to understand that Smiling Friends world building is branched from our own existing world. Like how Richard Nixon avoided being caught in the Watergate Scandal, managed to win the Vietnam war, and stayed in office for long enough to be re-elected for a second term.
Some of my favorite 'historical' figs out there. Very endearing as you mention. Thanks for bringing them to people's attention. Regarding vehicles. I have 6 ZombieSmith tanks of various kinds, and a few armored cars - metal. I use some WWII Japanese Field Guns for artillery and I think any 1/48th scale WWI armor plastic kit would work well too. I use Lledo 1/64th scale 1930's cars trucks and overpaint them in military colors. I was waiting for APCs from ZombieSmith but haven't checked their website in a while. [I use Quar for various WWII rules and completed a Norway 1940 campaign a while back]
I suggest the *"Hordes"* Minifigures especially because it is very similar to *"Warhammer"* and "Warhammer 40k"
I getting either really heavy 1960s Mad magazine ‘Spy vs Spy’ Deja vu, or flashing on Vaughn Bode’s lizard soldiers.
The styles and lore of each army looks just like the factions from the PC game "Foxhole" Lmao, I guess the Quar is where they got their inspiration
You should definitely check out more Wargaming alternatives- some absolutely phenomenal creativity and super unique miniatures out there.
Some of my favorites- Malifaux, Infinity, Bushido, Relicblade, Moonstone, Conquest: Last Argument of Kings, Judgement Eternal Champions, Kingdom Death
A rather peculiar xenos species. Given their state of constant war, Exterminatus would be considered a mercy.
The might of a single quar is equal to that of the shriveled corpse in the fancy gamer chair.
I literally just heard about this game about a week ago and am looking into it, your video popping up was a pleasant surprise! Now even more interested in picking it up.
1 minute 20 seconds Azgar's fantasy map maker spotted. Always love to see it
Quar very much have this sorta vibe that reminds me of Ralph Bakshi films and old Opus comics, and a small splash of the water-color charm of the 1995 movie adaptation of The Wind in the Willows. You know, the sorta vibe that old European comics and newspaper strips used to have, if that all makes sense.
Wait, you're a Kentuckian too? Holy shit, small world.
Anyway, I was curious about this game. Have been since I saw those models when Wargames-Atlantic put them out. Started telling friends, no one gave a shit, and there wasn't a lot about it out there. Appreciate the video.
They sound like fake ass friends, only real ones fw quar
@@MishMashPainting I just live in a very "If it's not modern GW, it refuse to even look at it" area. I had to fight tooth and nail just to get a Mordheim group going.
@@TheGreySpectrum If it exists, we should play tabletop sim quar
@@MishMashPainting Does not seem to exist, unfortunately. Not from what I was able to see just now.
