    I would love to see more of these, especially with the Stargrave crews you've been building! The animations were superb.

      Yeah I was gonna say a Stargrave one of these would be great.

    Bill really outdid himself on this one. He didn't have to stop motion animate the whole battle but he did. So cool

    You should also create a Cat tonk. Cat may have felt a little left out in this new endeavor. Really liked the video!

    Loved the "cheater" flash frame at the point of Theo's victory😂. Affected me more than the naked dudes in the bubbles in eighties Schweppes adverts. Keep up the good work, Bill and Theo

    I've really enjoyed this series! Great seeing the creating of the game pieces all the way to the actual playing of the game. Great work Bill, you should be really proud of these videos, and deeply ashamed that Theo thrashed you like that. ❤️

  • @thelittlestgiant
    @thelittlestgiant Рік тому +11

    Wow, seeing a battle report by a gamer artist, rather than “just a gamer” is insane. Literal stop motion animation and hand-drawn smoke and explosions? This absolutely needs to be seen by more people.
    Oh, and I also have to add, no, this isn’t what I want you to solely focus on. I celebrate the fact that you’ve been able to make such a wildly awesome channel without pigeonholing yourself into one specific niche. Variety is the spice of life, and your channel has variety. (Amongst other great things like great humor, awesome editing style, amazing artistic skill, etc.)
    Keep making stuff, Bill. ❤

    I love the little animations between turns and the voice over banter! Much better production than 95% of the battle reports that I see on you tube. Congratulations! I hope it was as enjoyable to make as it is to watch.

    Hi Bill. I really enjoyed this episode. The last couple months you and Crafsman have reignited something in my that has laid dormant since my golden era of 9-12 years old where I was at my most creative and interesting. I am finally remembering all the cool stuff I like doing and making. I made a Tonk out of sculpey and painted it even though I have never used sculpey before and it looks crap and the oven was too hot so it burned the polymer clay, but I still did it and I'm really proud of it. Now the challenge is convincing my missus to play with my little tonks with me. And also try this boardgame.

    YOWIE WOWIE! 100% certified dope as all get out. The banter. The animation. THE ART STYLE. Did everyone else see this? Wake you grandad up tell him he’s got a video to watch. He can put his teeth in later. This was absolutely outlandish. Bravo on a non stop thrill ride!

    Theo's tonk was super cool! Your animated battle report was great, I hope to see some Stargrave or Gaslands from you too. Well, provided you can do it without always spending days on animation. I wonder how you managed to record the banter so well too. It felt natural even though it didn't sound like you were in the same room recording as you played.

  • @RetroGhetto

  • @paintandplayminis328
    @paintandplayminis328 Рік тому +1

    Yes! I was hoping you would included the full stop motion at the end! This was great! Simple game, easy to follow, minimal supplies needed and building your tonk completely up to you. I think it would be interesting to have more than two people play at once or be controlling multiple tonks on your team. With a big enough map, you could even add power ups or 1ups on the field.

    By all means, if you feel up to making more Battle Reports, my fiance & I will eat them up! Thank you for brightening our nights, Bill! And thanks to @Slimehousetv as well! Very entertaining & love your Tonk!

  • @purplethunda8863
    @purplethunda8863 Рік тому +1

    Definitely one of the best battle reports I've watched. The animation really brings it to life. It always sucks to watch a battle report where it's just a bunch of middle-aged nerds moving their toys around and talking about it with no visuals

  • @littlebacchus216
    @littlebacchus216 Рік тому

    Love seeing Bill report on playing a battle as it happened... turn by turn... talking us through it... Think we need more Bill reports on playing a battle as it happened... turn by turn... talking us through it... maybe... with or without the stop gap, moving animation thing. Or whatever.

    I discovered this channel with the first Tonks video, and I really enjoy everything about how you edit and present your builds. The battle report and animation was really fun too!
    Now I want to try making a couple tonks so I can play. Between the scrap-built tanks and the simple game rules, this looks like everything I enjoyed about Warhammer 40k without all the nonsense.

  • @ethobbyshow
