The most excited for a release I have been in awhile. The quality of Osprey mixed with the old miniatures photos. and art work, and the easy fun game play looks like a winner to me.

Looks interesting. The thing I found disappointing with One Page Rules and to a lesser extent Starbreach is that the factions were pretty much legally distinct versions of 40K armies. This looks like it's truly model agnostic.

Rumors of Dragon rampant 2nd edition?? YEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!! Ever since i heard about the lion rampant 2nd edition i’ve been hoping they will do a Dragon rampant 2ND. Dragon is a personal favorite of mine and everyone i’ve played it with so far has enjoyed it. I’ve been looking forward to Xenos rampant since i heard about it, and from your review it looks like it will be a hoot to play! And looking forward to some lets plays!

I'm really looking forward to this - Firefight from Mantic has been scratching my 'large skirmish' itch (and led me to paint up 4 really cool armies), and One Page Rules has been tempting me to use my old WH40K stuff, but this game has been on my pre-order list for over a year and will get a lot of games with my group - and even better, I get to use all of the above models plus loads of other bits and bobs picked up over the years! Looking forward to seeing you play a game.

@@GuerrillaMiniatureGames I enjoyed the video but, as a previous commenter mentioned, you've misunderstood what "Free" activations are. They are not additional activations, every unit only ever has 1 activation per turn. A "Free" activation simply indicates that the unit automatically passes that type of Activation Test. So, Heavy Infantry, for example, automatically pass activation tests for Shooting, but have to roll to Move or Attack. Elite units are unusual in that they automatically pass 2 different tests: Shoot and Attack. Most units have a single "Free" activation, while poor old Militia Rabble have to pass a test for all activations types (and will probably fail to do so!).

This ruleset lends itself well to a load of different scenarios. Ash, how about the following theme? One I am to explore myself with Xenos Rampant: The Unification Wars of Terra, using the Post-Apocalypse genre as a base setting. Different Techno Barbarian Warlords going up against eachother, while a certain special one is developing elite-infantry super soldiers. Would be neat to see(and do myself) a batrep of stuff like the Battle of Gaduare(even if that one was just.. horridly one sided), made famous by the Last Church book.

I have! Im totally ripped between them but I lean more to XR. The biggest difference between the two is the fact that XR does not have absolutely set units, such as a battle brother will only allowed certain items for that model vs XR elite infantry (or heavy for a more horus heresy feel) you can design that unit with almost anything you want! To top it off XR scenerios are very much narrative focus, a lot of the fights will have each side fighting for certain objectives on a battlefield that may give one side a slight advantage. In the end they are both fun but I feel more for XR because im very much free to use anything I want in any way.
@JaredRutledgePhD

I needed a little bit of clarification. Throughout the video you mentioned you could scale unit size up and down that you would just have to change one aspect of the character. For example I only like to play scrimmage games with a total of 5 to 10 miniatures on each squad. Can you build out how you would modify the units to meet those criteria?
@johnmiddleton4291
Жыл бұрын
Note this is from Dragon Rampant and the exact names might change, but the game mechanism is the same. You basically scale unit size with their strength points total. This is effectively the number of casualties a unit can take before it's defeated, though they will likely fail a courage(morale) test before that. So view strength as wounds for all practical purposes. A typical elite foot unit in Dragon Rampant would have 6 strength points and thus 6 wounds. That would be a unit 6 elite fighters. So If you wanted that to be 3 elite fighters, you would still have 6 strength but it would take 2 "wounds" to kill one model, or a unit of one powerful hero would have 6 "wounds". So the scaling isn't much more than just using wound counters and less models over using more models as actual wound counters and removing them each damage point. Effectively, it's just semantics and adapting to the models you have. Mechanically everything else about the unit would be the same, though they will often be easier to move and get into cover, being smaller. You could make big tough units, say ogres, the same way from other troop types, as normal troops have 12 strength, but are far easier to damage, with numbers accounting for their quality, so to speak.

This seems to skirt a weird line between being a large page count ruleset with all its elements pre-defined and at the same time "do whatever you want" (through the cop-out of proxying anything as one of the pre defined elements). What would you say is the biggest value added in playing this over, say, One Page Rule?

That depends entirely on you. You have 24 points to spend, and free rein to do so in a vast number of ways. Taken to extremes, it is perfectly possible to field 1 model as a single 24pt unit, or to field 240 models, as 24 1pt units - not that I'd recommend doing either of these 😂. The lovely thing about this ruleset is that you are free to field the models you love, and then craft the unit stats to match the models.
