As the person Tom plays aristeia with, i can fully confirm how awesome this game is, to the point that i bought everything just out of pure excitement!

Just to add to the tide of praise - Aristeia is just about one of the tightest games out there. Played with a bunch of wargame/board game friends, and all adored it. Working on a compact version to take abroad with the wife for holidays :D

Arusteia! is a lot of fun. I feel like they had a rough launch with it coming out within a month or two of GWs Underworld (their hex based game for those not in the know). I played both from day one and honestly A! won me over from maybe my second or third game. I love that Underworld allows me to paint up small numbers of all kinds of GW factions without having to do an entire army but the gameplay just doesn't do it for me like A! does. Unfortunately GW being the biggest in the industry I think the two launching at the same time hurt the start of A! a lot. At least, that's what I observed locally.

I really like the game and collected/painted the whole range of characters. Lots of fun!

Havent played it yet. But painted close to every mini for it for a friend. Some of the funnest minis i have painted.

Looking forward to the series

I'll be honest, I mostly thought of your channel as a Mailfaux channel, for lack of a better title. I'd love to see some games on your channel at some point. I've kind of erred over Aristeia as a game I could play casually with non-gamey people but I'd like to see it played to get a better fell for complexity.

What would you recommend as the best storage solution for someone who owns all the characters for Aristeia? (Ignoring the alternate skins)

[mikex]

In my experience playing this game (which I own), characters just tend to sit on objectives and slug it out with the opposition. When a character finally dies, no big deal, they just respawn and re-enter the fight. It's very... dull.
