I spent 60 hours playing one board game. Over 10,000 miniatures were used. My goal with this video is to reach new audiences and invite them into the wargaming community. It is not a requirement to know Warhammer rules to enjoy this video. My dad watched it (he’s 72) and he could follow it. He’s not a wargamer. If you know someone you’d like to introduce to the hobby and game that is Warhammer then this is a great video to show them. They’ll feel the magic and fun that’s generated when we allow ourselves to unleash our inner child. Over 6 months in the making. It’s the most ambitious project I’ve ever done! I’m so proud to present it to you. I feel like a kindergarten kid in school who’s really excited about show and tell. I’m absolutely stoked to show you this film that represents the fun that is had in the wargaming community. This has never been done before and I have the old-man pains to prove it. What you’re seeing right now is an actual game that people play. Crazy right? This is Warhammer 40k Apocalypse. The players are called wargamers, they could literally be anyone you know (show doctor, fireman, teacher, high schooler) and I’m one of them. This “board game” is technically called a tabletop (cuz it’s literally played on a tabletop) miniature (cuz it includes miniatures) wargame (cuz it has armies battling each other). Kind of like Risk or Battleship. I wanted to play the largest game that’s ever been seen. I used my personal collection of Chaos Space Marines totaling 144,000 pts to do this. I also enlisted Kyle’s help and his 150,000 pts of Orks to accomplish this feat of tabletop gaming. - MWG Dave =========================== Kyle's store - Gearguts Mekshop Support his work on new designs: See the Ravaged Star miniatures MWG Dave's working on with Lazy Squire Games.
