Your production quality and story-like approach makes these some of the best presented battle reports I’ve come across for ANY tabletop game. Keep it up 👍
I would say the only thing that could improve the battle reports clarity is if you painted the two warbands base rims different colours so its easy to see whos on which team
Interesting idea! Not to completely shoot you down, but a lot of these models are interchangeable between battle reports, warbands, and future games I plan on showcasing on the channel. Though, maybe some sort of "clip on" color base system could be doable, yet difficult with the plethora of different base sizes used in a game like Frostgrave. You've given me something to think about!
I literally just put this playlist on in the background while painting and was pleasantly surprised to see another battle report! Thank you for the gift sir
The rotating board works really well, especially for what are essentially establishing shots like 6:11 / 13:39 or more dynamic angles such as 9:27 though I'd be mindful not to over use it and avoid any disorientation. Talking of which, it would be great to see the occasional top down angle, particularly during movement phase, to get a better understanding of the maps layout at the start and how each warband plans to approach it. Keep up the great work!
These are exceptionally done battle reports. Some of the best to watch. The narrative elements are phenomenal and it’s presented in such a fun way to watch. The only thing I could think to want are some on screen effects like a cool explosion animation or sparks from swords clashing.
Great battle report! Terrain and minis all look ace as per usual. I really like how you display the fight bonus and health when you roll a combat roll. Something I saw in a Rangers of Shadow Deep batrep the other day that I really liked was at the end of every turn, he showed a birds eye shot of the entire board oriented the same way every time along with icons highlighting where each figure was and where the objectives were. It was really nice to get re-oriented after every turn to the boardstate as sometimes when zooming around the table and filming from the minis perspective, it can get easy to lose track of where minis are in relation to each other as well as their position on the board in relation to what objectives/treasures are left. Not sure how much additional work doing some of this adds, but it was definitely a nice touch that combined nicely with the more dynamic shots during the game
Another awesome battle report! The only thing that was a bummer was some of the rolls were pretty far from the camera, but I'm one of those guys that wants to see the numbers rolled
Always enjoy these videos! If there is one thing that I kind of miss sometimes is seeing the results of the die rolls. Or at least the total results. Makes it more suspenseful to me. But that's all the criticism I can muster!
Dude, so happy to wake up and see this upload! I just got into Frostgrave and have binged watched all your videos on the playlists twice and just thought yesterday that I hope there would be a new one soon. Love your work.
I think I was your 12th patreon! Love the reports. Would love to see you try another (solo?) game, whatever strikes you and isn't too much work. Love the music and sound effects here. Love the video length (15-25min is perfect)
Alphawolf, hello! I do have some plans attempting another title in the “near” future. At the moment, I’m keeping things a little close to the chest, but I’ll keep you in the loop soon.
Nice look and feel. I think the presentation was good. Succinct explanations of what happened and I like the angles you can show with the spinning table. Great work as always good sir! I look forward to the next!
I feel that the table and deployment are limiting the gameplay options. It would seem that its a case of run up to the edge of the drain, shoot/spell opponent, run away with loot and barely get into HTH. I would try different deployment, corner to corner or deploy so that the groups both start on the same side of the drain (at opposite ends) and they have to balance out engaging the enemy or moving sideways into or across the drain to collect treasure. Other than that I think the presentation of the gameplay is awesome, just need to mix the deployment up a little.
Ooooh, a very good suggestion. Really appreciate this. Something as simple as changing the starting zone can really change the interactions we see on the table. Thank you!
Visuals are just on point as always dude! Would love to see some Frostgrave Warband Kitbashing or Painting on the channel if that's something you'd do? Would love to see you paint every mini in the warband match a scheme or something
Thanks as always Gyriongyrion! And this is a good idea. Can't promise anything anytime soon, but this sounds like something I wouldn't mind giving it a try at some point!
Awesome. I wasnt expecting this to drop today! but it is a happy surprise that explains why your last video wasnt a build video... you were working on this you sly devil lmao
You’re the best battle report channel for frost grave. May I suggest like a few seconds outro after battle scenes? Like some funny conversation between Karen and Loyd in an inn or something? Or something relevant to the episode?
Great battle reports. Probably the best Frostgrave battle reports I've seen. The terrain looks fantastic. The terrain is great. The narration covers things well but is fast enough to maintain a good pace. The only thing I might suggest you add is something that clearly shows the dice roll numbers, as the camera angle is sometimes too low to see them.
Heck ya! Another awesome Frostgrave battle report! I have really been enjoying these since I recently discovered your channel, and I love the new effects on this latest one. Keep up the great work!
First of all great battle report i really enjoyed seeing Durgarith again on the chanel and second od all about your request about visuals and game presentation, i must say i realy liked old system from first and second season where you woud show clearly dice rolls on dice tray and full warband members stats when they performed na action. Keep up the good work
Would love to get an idea of how you set everything up for your videos from the cinematography side! I dont even play Frostgrave, but you have some of the most engaging camera angles and pans!
For a simple answer, I use a lazy Susan underneath the table to get the fun spins and pans. As well as, I do my best to bring the camera to the level of the combatants. This gives the illusion that we are on the table with the miniatures, commencing battle along side them!
Your battle reports are awesome! The effort and work you put into each one shows. One day i hope you do a few "rangers of shadowdeep" batraps too. With some of these guys making a cameo appearance once in a while.
Man, great vid, thank you! I enjoyed the visuals too 👍 also you are reminding me why I wanted to play frostgrave too, i haven't messed with it in a long while but man you made it look fun!
I really love the batreps, also the presentation is just amazing, I don't like the moving cams in vids as they feel like shakey handheld cams, here everything is clear and nice to look at ^^ For gameplay a flat ground with many small hills etc could be fun once, I do like the gap in the middle but would be cool to see it on an edge ^^ A kind of ambush scenerio could also be fun were Karen starts in the middle or surrounding her pray In the end, I really like the batreps, so just keep doing what you wanna do ^^
Such a great battle report, as always gosh darn it! The visuals are super fun - just enough to decorate what's going on whilst staying hopefully low effort for you?
Thanks, Robbie! And nothing is "low-effort." At least that depends on your viewpoint. Though, it is enjoyable getting all the little parts neat and tidy in the edit. 😁
@@DiceChatter superb! I was more thinking - they look great, I just hope you're not busting a gut to include them too, because your baseline is so great already. You keep smashing it my guy 😁
Well done mate! I love the perspective you provide for each warband actions! You are doing great in style, narrative and visuals! I feel bad for Terry however :(
Any chance you’d be up for some StarGrave? I’d like to see your fun narrative stuff being made for that game world as well! As always, great video and no need for any change ups as far as production goes.
I would love to showcase Stargrave, but it would be a long while from now. I am severely lacking a number of Scifi minis and terrain in my collection. Of course, a lot of Frostgrave stuff could transfer over, but I would still need MORE!!! 😅
My friend and I played Frostgrave last night, so this battle report was perfectly timed! I like the new, speedier format, where resisting spells and other less exciting rolls happen offscreen. Your terrain is, as always, inspirational. How is the board with the big chasm working out? Do you find that there's less melee combat? The different color backgrounds when showing off the two wizards was a nice touch, and your paint jobs are awesome.
Chris, thank you buddy! Appreciate the kind words. To answer your question, the board is great! Though, I am starting to realize changing up some starting positions may be a good idea to create a more interesting match. Table corners or in the chasm itself.
Woot! Battle report! Just finished playing scenario 4 of perilous dark. It was the easiest one yet thanks to my enchanter making good use of embed enchantment so most of my crew has weapons of+1 fight.
Love your battle reports! I would like to see you do some painting tutorials. Your minis are impressive. Also, Have you played Joe McCullough other game Rangers of Shadow Deep? similar mechanics but more of an RPG feel to it.
Thank you! 🧙♂️🧙♂️ To answer your questions: Mini painting tutorials are a bit foreign for me. I personally feel other creators got that in the bag, but that shouldn't stop me from giving it a try. For Rangers, I own the game and have read through the rules, but have yet to run a game. It's on the list of things to try, but for whatever reason, that list keeps getting larger and larger! 😅
The sound effects are killing me again! For the video aspect of it, the only issue I see is that the minis on both sides have similar color schemes (wizards aside) so it's difficult to differentiate both sides once they get close to each other.
Thanks Keggers! And appreciate the insight. I am hoping as my painted mini collection grows, I can start creating more and more warbands that mesh well together.
Hail to the FG king! Just think about the Rangers of Shadowdeep again. On the same game engine you can challenge yourself in different victory strategies, gathering new models and crafting unusual pieces of terrain such as legendary broken stairs, swampland, or farm homestead under siege.
Terrain is top-notch, miniatures well painted. Cinematography is inspired with the lazy Susan and the background is great contrast. Get a widget with your logo or something as well as a dice tray. These are some of the best actual play solo skirmish battle reports around.
Thanks a lot Shannon! The "dice tray" option is something I have been debating about showing or not showing in these reports. I feel a dice tray promotes a less narrative based battle. It turns the viewers focus towards mechanics and numbers rather than the story being presented. Again, something I am toying with. Maybe, I enjoy things a bit more thematic?...
Your production quality and story-like approach makes these some of the best presented battle reports I’ve come across for ANY tabletop game. Keep it up 👍
Wow, thank you! ☃️
best battle report I've seen on you tube. Love the spinning table and sky background
I would say the only thing that could improve the battle reports clarity is if you painted the two warbands base rims different colours so its easy to see whos on which team

Your battle reports are some of the best on UA-cam. They are the best Frostgrave ones by far!

The production value is great. My only criticism would be that we need more battle reports. 😂

A great recap, l am very envious of your terrain creations. It is great content.
Your reports, and your editing are my absolute favourite. No notes! Keep doing what your doing!
Wow, thank you! 🥰

Oh those hexagonal Ice pillars are AMAZING! Love their painting
Thank you! The terrain tutorial is on the channel 😬
Dude, so happy to wake up and see this upload! I just got into Frostgrave and have binged watched all your videos on the playlists twice and just thought yesterday that I hope there would be a new one soon. Love your work.
Thank you for the views! These reports take a bit of time to produce, so please don't expect them on a constant release basis 😁
I understand, I noticed they came about every other month, so no worries. No need to sacrifice quality for quantity.
I honestly really look forward to these battle reports!
And I look forward to your comments!
I think I was your 12th patreon! Love the reports. Would love to see you try another (solo?) game, whatever strikes you and isn't too much work. Love the music and sound effects here. Love the video length (15-25min is perfect)

You have accumulated an amazing collection of terrain, making a compelling setting for battles
Thank you! And I plan on creating even more!

Phenomenal. Thanks for another great vid
These are amazing and I hope you make more. Really great to listen to while I drive. The narrative and voices are top notch
Thank you! And I’m happy to make more! They just take a bit of time to produce 🤓

I've been trying to create a good rotation for myself. It seems to help keep things fresh and interesting!
@@DiceChatter its great so you dont get crafter burnout like MOST of the UA-cam crafting content makers go through.

Thank you much! 😁
Excellent batreps! :)
Glad to see another frostgrave batrep
Hahaha, me too!!!
Great Stuff!
Still the best and fastest battle reports
Direden! Thanks as always my friend 🥰
Enjoy your videos, especially the use of color for your tarain. Awaiting your next video.
Heck ya! Another awesome Frostgrave battle report! I have really been enjoying these since I recently discovered your channel, and I love the new effects on this latest one.
Keep up the great work!
Glad you like them! Thanks a bunch Brian!

Hahahaha! Sometimes I need to be a little festive for summertime!
I feel that this season could end with Lloyd betraying Karen and trying to take over the warband!
Gotta quit sharing these good ideas! Haha! 😂
If your table is on a lazy susan... welll thats just awesome!
Agreed.
A good purchase for any wargaming table!
Plz keep going on this! Rly insipire me to do some as well
excuse me but at 13:37 what *intervening terrain* are you exaclty talking about :D

John! He is from reaper minis I believe.
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another great video mate
Glad you enjoyed it! 🤓
Really nice video!
Thank you very much!

Thank you! And yes, 3ft x 3ft.
Fantastic table as usual and lazy or not Susan was putting in work. Have you checked out "Mortal Enemies" yet? I am sure Karen deserves one.
Thank you! And yes I own the book! Maybe something I should look a bit more into.
Where did you get those imp minis? I need to get me some of those. And great video!
Ohhh, sorry to disappoint, but they are from a 3D printer sculptor that is no longer in business. 😑
Love the work ❤🔥🤯👏

@@DiceChatter at the moment it's my favorit game
I like you visual effects but you need on for when arrows fly... pew pew
Hahah! An arrow animation could be a bit difficult, but I'll see what I can do.
gg!
IMHO, like all battle reports it needs more character and story, and fewer attempts at comedy and silly hats.
Thank you, Mitch! Appreciate the feedback!
