BRENT! THIS VIDEO WAS INCREDIBLE! I can't possibly express my gratitude. You've communicated things I've been struggling to say about Relicblade for years. I feel so seen and loved!
My man, I know that you have been trying to crack the code on how exactly to present this game, and you have done such a good job I could cry!! What a great comprehensive overview of the game and what makes it special and fun. GOSH. Big love!! And that was how I felt before you even mentioned my name or contributions. Amazing, thank you for mentioning Demon Ship and Witty too! haha so rad. Thanks so much my man!
RelicBlade is a ton of fun! The miniatures basically rehabilitated my relationship with metal as a material to work with (there was a lot of trauma in there, too many nights trying to get giant metal wings onto a plastic body X.X) and the game is a lot of fun! I think it works as both a fantastic introduction to mini wargaming, especially for younger folk, because the game is so intuitive and fast-paced. But it also has a ton of strategy and variety. Plus I love the lil gnomes :D
After Miniac talked about Relicblade, I looked at their website. And I immediately got the two player starter set. Unfortunatly I didn't paint a lot since orctober. But I'm really looking forward to painting those Relicblade miniatures. Thank you for this video. It got me all hyped up again.
Relicblade is so fuuuun. And it's so clear what a labor of love it is for Sean. As always, l love to see the amazing indie games you highlight and so such a lovely job painting for! (Also hey! That's me!)
I had looked into Relicblade before and so it was on my radar but this video just catapulted it to the top of my buy next list. Keep up the great work!
I’d never even heard of Relicblade before this video, but one minute in and I’m already sold. You do a great job of communicating the nuances of stuff like this.
Could not be happier to see this video! Relicblade rocketed to the top of my list when I realized I could teach it to almost anyone. It's also an incredible palate cleanser from Games Workshop products because of how different the vibe is.
Such a fun game, with a fantastic theme and style. Also Sean is such a great person, and the sketches he adds to each book is really great. Such a nice personal touch.
Me too! I had the pleasure of meeting Sean at LVO in 2018. Total pleasure to meet and talk with. His forward in the Seekers Handbook hand me hooked on what he is doing and why. I try to back each of his kickstarters and show my appreciation. Sadly I've only played less than a dozen games; but someday, someday.
Relicblade is my favourite game. Sean has put so much love into it and it shows, and Malev's painting is insane. I'm so glad I randomly stumbled on it all those years ago.
I keep wanting to get into Relicblade, and it keeps getting put off. It's Christmas, and I'm not putting it off anymore. Thank you! And thank you for showing how much you love and care for this hobby with every video.
Relicblade is so much fun. And it being a small game makes it so it doesn't feel like a chore to set it up, even on a kitchen table AND you can play a few games back to back.
It's so refreshing to interact with Sean and the Relicblade ecosystem. This game puts your enjoyment first, instead of squeezing you at every turn for more money, and compromising the creative vision in favour of sales and marketing demands. I'm saving my hobby bucks for the upcoming Kickstarter. Can't wait to see what new stuff Sean and Malev have cooked up. P.S. Brent, your paint jobs look epic!
This is the most current information available :-) ua-cam.com/video/IuwAkOPQaDk/v-deo.html Sean does a kickstarter about once a year to expand the game with new models and new game modes. It's sounding like MAYBE next month!@@dwarrenmsp
@@GoobertownHobbies Awesome! I'll look into it. I've been hearing about Relicblade all over the place and the size and "simplicity" of it is really appealing to me. This video may have pushed me over the edge.
Great video. Thanks for putting the spotlight on a small, Indy company. You’ve got me interested in Relic Blade now. Thanks for all you do for the hobby of mini painting, ttrpg’s and ttwg’s.
Happy to see the game on here, I haven't done much yet, but I did get some battle pigs a while back simply because there aren't nearly enough pig species in things! Though now I'm rather tempted to grab a giblin at some point. Wow, I hadn't seen the botanist, really want that one now too. Plus the color scheme is basically my default in a lot of games, so that might have had to do with me being so drawn to that one. It's also inevitable that I will eventually get Verminmouth; even in games where I'm not playing rats, I'm playing rats. I definitely prefer plastic, but the metal did make me kind of nostalgic to the few 40k metal models I bought long ago.
Relicblade makes me happy too! Awesome video. I love all of my Relic Blade minis and the game is fantastic. Thanks for spotlighting this wonderful game!
I've never played Relicblade, but I found out about them a couple months ago because they had precisely what I needed for a Pathfinder character of mine. Nowhere else could I find a gnome with a musket-like gun and the all-important pointy hat.
Thanks for the great video about my favorite game. For me, best way to start was the Storms of Kural bundle with the Seekers Handbook. Also, Sean is planning a kickstarter in January for new factions. Jump into the Relicblade pool; the water is fine.
I'm so glad you found this indie war game and brought it to a huge audience! I've been admiring Relic Blade for a long time and wanting someone to bring it into a lime light!
"And whatever these are." The Stone Kin is just that - A Stone person. And the Cleric model is a female Handrak. They're dragon people. The Handraks nearly brought the world to it's doom. They're more rare these days.
Showed this to my wife, we bought a 2 player set 😂❤❤, we are both long time WOW players, so this just fits with our ascetic! Thankyou for always being a force for awesome!
I do! the goobertown discord is locked behind the 1 dollar patreon tier to keep things nice and friendly. Otherwise, just tag me when you post on instagram, I always like to see relicblade paint jobs :-) @@JynxBlack13
Very cool! It's not what I usually play, but if I'm ever wanting to play a miniatures skirmish game, I'll be going for Relicblade for sure! Maybe I'll even pick up some of those minis, there are some I might want to add to my general minis collection for use in my RPGs. ;) Very much enjoy watching videos on smaller games above standard Warhammer stuff that everyone does. So much more fun to explore! :D Great video, Brent!
I do love smaller companies 🥺. Deffinetly gonna check this out at some point. And shrimp: pink basecoat, alternating orange and white drybrush, 50/50 water and red ink or contrast to tie together
The colours you use remind me of the old Confrontation paint set colours, very vivid and also those paint's were supposed to be designed for use on metal, drying them on a radiator or with a hair dryer was supposed to aid bonding to the metal (not sure if this was true). It is a game I have been considering so may pick up some minis in the near future.
What a terrific video... Just full of joy.. With the painting to match. The bright punchy style is perfection. Brent's enthusiasm is infectious. I guess I'll be learning Relic Blade in 2024. How cool.
Relicblade is genius. 2x2 is a great size, and the small model count BUT with upgrades still feels like you have a lot of choices to make, both before and during play. I can't recommend it enough.
Oh yeah, the 2-player starter set has 8 models from 8 different factions in the game, and the destroyer pig is the battle pig from that 2-player starter box :-) The shrimp are sold separately hehehe
That looks really neat, love the minis. It would be neat if they offered like an STL and app option at some point for those not interested in metal minis and physical cards, would very much be into that sort of option if they offered it at some point. Probably too much to expect a single creator to take on but seems like something that would work well for an indie like this that uses a low model count.
I totally understand- I think Sean guards his sculpt files to protect against piracy (and to have quality control over how his models look in the wild) Maybe someday a limited taster set or something will be available!
Apostles of the Deep are "Adversary" by definition, but I play them like a neutral team in my head cannon that has them like a too aggressive Green Peace.
Awesome stuff! Indie games are awesome, and Relicblade is the best fantasy skirmisher I've come across. Such a great game. Love seeing you get the word out about stuff like this, it deserves it!
@@GoobertownHobbies haha, friends have already been dragged in. Family though... That's gonna be a tougher sell. Still, can't know until you try, right? :p
Hullo Brent, As I watched this video I kept feeling like I had seen this before as it just felt so familiar to me! Now perhaps I had played this or something similar before? Well I believe that it just came down to being so much like the Final Fantasy games! Now that is not good nor bad, but I am glad you have put this video out where more of us can see this game and get more involved should we desire to do so! Well done Sir! Thanks!!
Hullo! Interesting, I actually haven't spent much time with the final fantasy series, but I'd totally believe there was some inspiration there. They're cool models, I'm glad people are getting a chance to see them, thanks for watchin! :-)
I enjoy the vivid colors in addition to everything I normally enjoy. I don’t know how you got the background at ~5:03 so infinitely black (and I don’t want to know the inside baseball on how that sausage is made and just keep the magic alive) but it looks good.
@@GoobertownHobbies Ok. TLDR color theory. TLTLDR color theory in relation to refracted spectral light and its visibility on surfaces (for the purpose of mimicking the effect in mini painting). Hobby science with Brent is one of my favorites! You know, I just never really thought about polymer chains in glue. But it was really interesting to learn about. So something that I’m OBSESSED with and think about every time I have a spare minute is spectral light. 2 facets: 1. Light, white is the combination of all colors. Colors to our eyes are surfaces that reject that specific wave and that’s what gives it its apparent hue to our human eyes. I’d love to watch a vid on your take on this. How that affects our paints, and techniques to mimic certain phenom in life, example I was looking at a concrete floor, it had green on it. Grey floor. It was a reflection of white led light above it. Our brains will translate it to its ‘supposed color’ but in life many surfaces actually have different colors on them than their technical color. We filter it out because we’re so wrapped up in the day-to-day. If we harness even a small percentage of this to represent in miniature painting it could blow minds. Take NMM - I was looking at some metal gold or brass color reflecting off of some silver/steel/aluminum color metal. Or vice versa. The reflection of gold had every color in the rainbow spectrum in it twice. Never would have thought about that until I slowed down and captured it( and capture it I did 2. Infrared and ultraviolet and visibility to the naked eye. Not sure if/how this would relate to the hobby, but while we’re on light sometimes I try to see Ultraviolet in the wild with my naked eye. I’m trying to stretch my human optic ability to expand past violet and on to ultraviolet. I know it’s impossible and the closest I’ve gotten is seeing what I can only describe as wiggly gray. But I’m still going to try, and it’s satisfying to know about it being there even if I can’t directly truly observe it. I don’t know where to start on infrared. I haven’t sought out these topics to research, at the moment I’m just focused on observations in daily life and letting a little more of the light color information in instead of tuning it out due to preoccupation. I would eventually like to bring some of this to the hobby table. If you published a video on this I would hella watch it.
Oh yeah, I'm definitely going to do a color theory one of these days. how 400-700 nm relates to a circle and 3 color receptors... It's fascinating stuff, I just have to figure out how I want to present it. someday, someday... @@garylee4315
I recently purchased a massive kickstarter game set called Drakerys. Drakerys is a tabletop skirmish game where Dwarves, Elves, Orcs and Humans fight for supremacy in ancient kingdoms. Each of these factions use elementals to aid them in battle. I got the top tier lot and I purchased it dirt cheap. I paid $220 AU for a $1016 lot. Really happy with it. Only downside is I’ll be painting for a year to complete it.
I painted up two warbands for this game and have been dying to play. If you ever find yourself free and in Maine I'd be down for a game lol. Glad to see it getting some love
Love me some relic blade! Though I'm more of a gamer then a painter so it's been a hard sell for me to buy my own minis. Not having anyone to play with. Maybe one day when I get done with all my other projects...
If you decide to get into relic blade and painting, I cannot highly enough recommend relic blade minis for their ease of painting. Sean must hate painting eyes as much as I do because most of the characters have eyes that fall into one of three categories: 1. Big enough to actually do detail with only small frustration, 2. Hidden behind some other feature (bushy eyebrows, helmet visors etc.) Or 3. Some sort of creature where I can just paint them black with a pip of white in the corner as a glint of reflection.
Very enjoyable! Shrimp look great. But, I think they need more highlights and a gloss varnish to make them shiny and wet looking like shrimp are. Also, I think a lot of shrimp aren't pink until they are cooked, so go wild with the colours.
Gonna buy the skeletons. I really love Ossiarch and I think I'll buy some Ossiarch as well as the Relicblade skeleton minis! They share a cool lineage to me and the styles will compliment each other super well
I saw these at Rcon 2022, really wanted a pack but I also have so so many unpainted minis and no in person gaming groups. I resisted the urge (a rare thing for me)
Congratulations on your willpower! :-) I highly recommend relicblade though, you should probably pick 'em up the next time you see them somewhere hehehehe

Hullo! Interesting, I actually haven't spent much time with the final fantasy series, but I'd totally believe there was some inspiration there. They're cool models, I'm glad people are getting a chance to see them, thanks for watchin! :-)
I have been loving the models from when you first started to use them in videos. Very interested in getting my hands on some!
Hehehe, I hope you pick some cuties! :-)
It really is a breath of fresh air
Great game with amazing minis. I have Akhad realm gnomes and they are both amazing and fun!
that's awesome! :-)
Awesome video, I love seeing smaller companies or less known ones given some hype! If definitely helps find new adventures!
heck yeah! keep hunting for these gems! :-)
Great video as usual. Let’s see if Santa brings me any of these this year.
Fingers crossed! :-)
I enjoy the vivid colors in addition to everything I normally enjoy. I don’t know how you got the background at ~5:03 so infinitely black (and I don’t want to know the inside baseball on how that sausage is made and just keep the magic alive) but it looks good.
Hehehe thanks!!! It was a good day in my studio when I finally figured out how to take that kind of picture :-)
@@GoobertownHobbies Oh, for sure, you’re welcome. So while I’ve got you here, do you take requests for video topics?
@@garylee4315 I'm always open to interesting ideas :-)
@@GoobertownHobbies Ok. TLDR color theory.
TLTLDR color theory in relation to refracted spectral light and its visibility on surfaces (for the purpose of mimicking the effect in mini painting).
Hobby science with Brent is one of my favorites! You know, I just never really thought about polymer chains in glue. But it was really interesting to learn about. So something that I’m OBSESSED with and think about every time I have a spare minute is spectral light. 2 facets:
1. Light, white is the combination of all colors. Colors to our eyes are surfaces that reject that specific wave and that’s what gives it its apparent hue to our human eyes. I’d love to watch a vid on your take on this. How that affects our paints, and techniques to mimic certain phenom in life, example I was looking at a concrete floor, it had green on it. Grey floor. It was a reflection of white led light above it. Our brains will translate it to its ‘supposed color’ but in life many surfaces actually have different colors on them than their technical color. We filter it out because we’re so wrapped up in the day-to-day. If we harness even a small percentage of this to represent in miniature painting it could blow minds. Take NMM - I was looking at some metal gold or brass color reflecting off of some silver/steel/aluminum color metal. Or vice versa. The reflection of gold had every color in the rainbow spectrum in it twice. Never would have thought about that until I slowed down and captured it( and capture it I did
2. Infrared and ultraviolet and visibility to the naked eye. Not sure if/how this would relate to the hobby, but while we’re on light sometimes I try to see Ultraviolet in the wild with my naked eye. I’m trying to stretch my human optic ability to expand past violet and on to ultraviolet. I know it’s impossible and the closest I’ve gotten is seeing what I can only describe as wiggly gray. But I’m still going to try, and it’s satisfying to know about it being there even if I can’t directly truly observe it. I don’t know where to start on infrared.
I haven’t sought out these topics to research, at the moment I’m just focused on observations in daily life and letting a little more of the light color information in instead of tuning it out due to preoccupation. I would eventually like to bring some of this to the hobby table. If you published a video on this I would hella watch it.
Oh yeah, I'm definitely going to do a color theory one of these days. how 400-700 nm relates to a circle and 3 color receptors... It's fascinating stuff, I just have to figure out how I want to present it. someday, someday... @@garylee4315
Ooh, those minis look really nice! I've been working on a few conversion-projects where these would fit perfectly. :)
Nice! Yeah it's a fun range :-)
I recently purchased a massive kickstarter game set called Drakerys. Drakerys is a tabletop skirmish game where Dwarves, Elves, Orcs and Humans fight for supremacy in ancient kingdoms. Each of these factions use elementals to aid them in battle. I got the top tier lot and I purchased it dirt cheap. I paid $220 AU for a $1016 lot. Really happy with it. Only downside is I’ll be painting for a year to complete it.
oh hey that looks pretty neat!!! nice haul, have fun painting :-)
Brent... Dangit... I don't need another miniatures game... Wait.. that's not right...
i DIDN'T need another miniatures game but now I definitely do.
gotcha!!! enjoy your new relicbuds :-)
You are not alone
I'm sold, - id play this game
That's the spirit! :-)
I loved this video! Thank you for sharing, this game is right up my alley. I can't wait to start collecting
Glad you liked it! Have fun with your relicbuds :-)
Currently painting and playing Moonstone, but I might have to give this a try sometime down the line! Great video
Awesome! I've got my eye on moonstone, it seems like it might scratch the same kind of itch for an indie game with a ton of character :-)
awesome.
I painted up two warbands for this game and have been dying to play. If you ever find yourself free and in Maine I'd be down for a game lol. Glad to see it getting some love
Yaas! Sean is the best, the game is bomb. I’m so happy people are hyping the game!
hehehe, it's so good! :-)
Love the art style
Love me some relic blade! Though I'm more of a gamer then a painter so it's been a hard sell for me to buy my own minis. Not having anyone to play with. Maybe one day when I get done with all my other projects...
It's a slow process, but we'll try to find some more players for ya :-)
If you decide to get into relic blade and painting, I cannot highly enough recommend relic blade minis for their ease of painting. Sean must hate painting eyes as much as I do because most of the characters have eyes that fall into one of three categories:
1. Big enough to actually do detail with only small frustration,
2. Hidden behind some other feature (bushy eyebrows, helmet visors etc.)
Or
3. Some sort of creature where I can just paint them black with a pip of white in the corner as a glint of reflection.
Hell yeah! Relicblade is such a cool game, great video Brent! Hoping to get some games in with peeps at next Adepticon!! 🤘🤘🖤
absolutely! :-)
Very enjoyable! Shrimp look great. But, I think they need more highlights and a gloss varnish to make them shiny and wet looking like shrimp are. Also, I think a lot of shrimp aren't pink until they are cooked, so go wild with the colours.
Great stuff friend 👏 👍
Gonna buy the skeletons. I really love Ossiarch and I think I'll buy some Ossiarch as well as the Relicblade skeleton minis! They share a cool lineage to me and the styles will compliment each other super well
Heard about Sean through his latest work, SLUDGE. Love the look of Relicblade
It's really cool :-)
I saw these at Rcon 2022, really wanted a pack but I also have so so many unpainted minis and no in person gaming groups. I resisted the urge (a rare thing for me)
Congratulations on your willpower! :-) I highly recommend relicblade though, you should probably pick 'em up the next time you see them somewhere hehehehe
Going have to look into this game, I love those Pigmen and Gnomes.
yesss doooo itttt!!!! :-) there's some good pigs 'n gnomes in relicblade
