    Stargrave - the sci-fi skirmish tabletop game from Ospray Games written by Joseph McCullough - has tickled my fancy. In this video I introduce the game and why I intend to start playing it. Taking you on a bit of a sci-fi journey to the game store... resulting in spending of many credits.
    A very large thank you to Alpha Spel gamestore, for letting me film on premises but also for taking the time to guide me through the world of sci-fi miniatures. Don't forget to support your LFGS folks.

It is focused in solo play, but can also be played cooperative, it looks great.

    Stargrave made me VERY excited to find Sci-Fi miniatures. I mostly have fantasy minis and wanted something other than GW for this.

    This is exactly the game I've been looking for.
    It seems like a cheap way of getting friends involved- no requirement to spend £100s on an army, just a few miniatures, an RPG-lite style skirmish ruleset, and, most importantly, the power of IMAGINATION :) I think my old DnD group might be interested, plus my one friend who plays 40k but rarely has time for a full-scale battle. And if not, the promise of Single Player rules is VERY appealing.
    Plus, it's an excuse to have dark synthwave playing in the background, should such an excuse ever be needed 😎

    • @52Miniatures
      @52Miniatures  3 роки тому

      Yeah, and if one already has a few minis lying around, all one needs is the book. I’m sure the first games might take a while, but once the rules are learned this seems like a fast game. The “random encounter” pushing players to get done fast or be surrounded by pirates.

    man........ i bet ur sick of my comments and me talking you up however - your insane. ur channel is so far ahead of anything on youtube it isnt even fair. the passion and quality put into everything. like once i have a job again i will have to start supporting you. its the least you deserve. i pay for utter crap like sky and netflix who have never produced anything ive even found as interesting as your videos. the sound the camera angles the evolution of your story and the mini stories within in each episode. its just so refreshing. keep doing whatever you are doing because what it is is pure magic.

    Looks like a great game, I play Frostgrave regularly with my 12yr old, he has a band based around his favourite D&D character so is perhaps just a little tooooo invested. Heaven help us if he dies ;0)
    This being from the same stable I'm confident it'll be just as fun, and maybe it'll lead him into some SciFi space opera style gaming - for me that would be a freshener.
    I had to chuckle when we got to the appreciation of the welcoming approach to rules and play (and gaming just for the joy of it) in Stargrave, not because of the very stark contrast with GW, but because it so mirrors my own appreciation of this channel.
    The insights you find here from a clever brain coming back and starting afresh in the mini painting hobby, discovering and refining as he goes, and articulating it all so well to us viewers are top notch. The way that they're presented, the welcoming, friendly, convivial delivery is so like a conversation, just one where you don't butt in much because you're too busy listening. So unlike a normal youtube tutorial/presentation that it elevates a learning opportunity to the level of a fireside chat, all that's missing is a couple of glasses of special reserve and the crackling of a fresh log on the fire. The living room he often uses as a backdrop couldn't have been bettered by a set designer, I want to live there, take me from this admittedly comfortable space of trip over toys and nerf guns and loving Chihuahuas that shed like yetis and coffee cups and discarded jumpers and homework and ....gameboxes
    I don't want to have to move two guns and a sleepy, grumpy chihuahua just to sit down anymore, want to gaze at bookcases and watch the light glisten from the etchings on my antique telescope... i so want a globe of the world that doesn't open up to reveal an array of liquor, a bag of dog jerky and someone's missing sock....

    • @philgee486

      I should also say that seeing you put a bag with so many diverse and interesting minis that aren't GW down, has me so ready to see the vids of you tackling them that I can't really express it. There are a bunch I don't recognise too, which is a whole new journey of exploration. Not a fan of orks, especially the GW mad uns I inwardly shrunk but then remembered all the fun i had with the dawn of war II vid games included a great crew of just such mad scifi orks and how i could view these just the same way. Might have to houserule myself an ork skavvacrew even and find some over the top minis (discreetly by mail order under an assumed name of course - may have to set up a separate ebay account with the name changed to protect the guilty/pompous/smugly superior...)

      Your commentary warms my heart Allwyn, thank you. I think somewhere along the way, the videos reflect my own view on content creating as well... there are great straight forward painting tutorials out there "how to" videos. But maybe not enough videos that just keep us inspired and want to paint. I'm hoping my videos just makes people paint, regardless if my content actually corresponds with what others are working on. Now, I do want to make a few more "me just painting vids". Mainly just because I want to paint more :) Anyway, rambling on. I just meant to say thank you.
