    As a first time buyer of the Warhammer tabletop (or board game?), this is my first impressions which lots of reviewers on YT did not mention: Box is super thin and filmsy for such a huge expensive IP and yes, you can see sprue shapes poking against the box cover. No inserts within the box, thus the runners are prone to be damaged if there is too much shaking during shipping. As a result, one of the arms of my operator was detached from the body. Luckily I found it somewhere deep within the box. Most of the miniatures are not snap-fit, thus glue is needed. I dont mind that, but some parts were way too small and did not connect well with the other parts. Lots of time spent in assembling them thus I have yet to play it. Only pros the miniatures are detailed and rulebook is interesting. But with the price I am paying for, not worth the experience. This is my first and last Warhammer purchase.

    This system seems like it could easily be expanded into a sort of solo/co-op kill team, with expansions for different factions and the ability to build your own team.

      People have been speculating that Genestealer Cults will be added to Darktide at some point. As the mysterious faction the Nurgle worshipers are having covert deals with. Imagine if they released an expansion to this game, where they include a couple sprues mixing Acolyte/Neophyte hybrids and maybe some Genestealers. Along with the extra rules, obviously.

    Even though this game is really just a way for GW to sell models they’re having a hard time pushing, this is why I think Games Workshop should keep the name “Games Workshop”, instead of rebranding everything as just “Warhammer”. They are still Workshopping Games.

    • @MrTumnus1987
      @MrTumnus1987 6 місяців тому +7

      I wouldn’t say so, the Poxwalker Sprue (six man) has been OOP for like three years and the Traitor Guard are one of the best Kill Teams & sell really well.
      Plus the individual models (bar the Primaris Pskyer & Zealot) are only available as part of multiple squad boxes and sprues up specially. So the argument really doesn’t stand out this one.

      I don't think that is really the case, given that these models are in colored plastic. More like there wasn't the budget for bespoke minis for this game.

    • @godconvoy
      @godconvoy 6 місяців тому +2

      So, GW has been producing smaller "boardgame" versions of their larger games for years now, and almost always use pre-existing models like this. Though, for the most part, the models are usually not either widely used ones (such as Blackstone Fortress ones, or their push to fit ones). They do this because they already have the designs and molds for most of them, so cuts costs that way, and some of the bespoke models get interest from experienced gamers. These games are mainly a more cost effective way to get new players into the hobby, or to generate interest into a certain game set (such as Kill Team or Warycry). These games are usually exclusively sold at more big retail locations that aren't gaming specific stores.

      I don't disagree, but I'm not surprised GW made use of existing models for this. Why would they spend the money for a whole new set of minis, when they already have molds in their back catalogue? Plus, it's kind of a treat to see that cool Blackstone Fortress zealot model again.

    This looks pretty cool, I like the idea of collaborative kill team, but then my experience with kill team was the 5e core rule book, where you could totally have played collaborative style if you wanted to fiddle with the rules a bit, basically just what this game seems to do, the baddies will do whatever is worst for the players in any situation. That's how I've solo run board games like risk or fortress America for quite some time.

    I am mainly into the lore (I collected 300+ Black Library books in the last 5 years, mainly 40k but some Warhammer Fantasy as well).
    I am into video-games (1000+ hours in Vermintide 1/2 and Darktide combined + many other Warhammer video games and not only of course).
    I am NOT into Warhammer wargaming tabletop, due to high complexity, extreme dice chucking, time and money requirements and painting requirements which is something I just can't and don't want to do.
    However I like board games and I buy and play some. For Warhammer I have some board games including the 3 'Space Marine Adventures' games and the 'Warhammer Quest: Lost Relics' (and I play 'Blackstone Fortress' digitaly at Tabletop Simulator).
    Also I am mainly solo board gamer. So this Darktide Miniature Game is perfect for me. I completely realize it's a ultra-light and very simplistic, so in essence it's a butchered version of the real thing. But since it can be played just solo (with the "A.I." behavior) and it doesn't really need to be painted (I have all the abovementioned Warhammer board games unpainted and it works okay) it's a good little way to emulate a Kill Team experience despite being just a shadow of the real deal. So I am happy of this product (pre-ordered already).
    Its target audience is us casuals and not the seasoned veterans whatsoever. And the main idea of GW is to try and pull us into the real deal.
    Thanks for the video.

    Take a look at FireTeam if you can track down a copy. it's 2 player. It has SM Assault Intercessors and Necrons in the box but also Data cards included in the box for Ork Nobs Tau XV25 battle suits, Harlequin troupe and and some Tempestus Scions. So far I have added a squad of Nobs and a Troupe squad to my box and it provides plenty of variety.

    Looks decent. A little bit pricey here in the States. $75-80 would be more attractive than $110. But maybe that goes without saying. I already play Kill Team, so the big attraction here is that it’s solo/co-op and is quick and easy to set up. Much more feasible to bring this to a pub or coffee shop and have a game.

    Looks like a solid game! $180 is incredibly steep for a board game, but it may be a better value argument for the fact you have 20 models in the box and enough to have a Killteam after. Still, the only comparable game I can think of price-wise is Frosthaven/Gloomhaven, which has about as many minis but a couple pounds of cardboard and just over 100 scenarios to play through in its campaign.
    E: I was able to find it on pre-order for $110, more reasonable but still high

    I hope DarkTide gets expanded on, adding in more things from the video game like bosses, Beasts of Nurgle, Plague Ogryns, and Daemonhosts, I have more faith in this game because it is not a Barnes and Noble release like how FireTeam was.

    Since this was a review copy, I imagine you're contract bound to only say nice things. Is there some way we could find out all your thoughts and opinions on this game?

      Nope, I don't have to be nice or do a review at all really. Plenty of reviews out there of free GW stuff are critical. Having said that, there's nothing really here to be that critical about. It's a simple little game. If it were any bigger or more complex it would defeat the point.
