Very nice, that´s great. I still struggle with the spanish accent in those videos from time to time 
Really neat!
I've heard some really dislike the Irish as well!
But that's what DS is for! Bringing you the news so that you can read it easily in the train/bus or on your work! ^^

That's your opinion. Personally, I can't stand Warren - Killian isn't, perhaps, stellar, but he's OK. Plus I like to hear his Irish accent, though I need a moment to get used to it.

Thank you.
I loathe watching videos - especially net videos. Yes, with HD, it's all so very clear - BUT this comes at the expense of looooong buffering times - and it's usually faster to download it if you want to watch it, than wait for it to buffer and watch it.
The problem with this is, that if the video DOESN'T grab me in the initial pitch, I am not going to WANT to watch it.
Now articles that I can read at my leisure. Those I like.
Nothing to see here. Unnecessary offensive.

Yeah I'm in the same boat, chromedog. I considered doing an unpacking video, but then I would never watch one of those myself. I prefer reading and photos as well!
Edited as the post I was responding to has been removed.

Looks like he's a good choice for a warcor, I like his method of explaining the rules and happenings, just in case the viewer has no idea what's going on.
Personally I prefer him over the BoW staff, I just can't understand their accents sometimes.

I agree. I think he's really elaborate in his explanations, making sure every viewer gets to understand the red line of what Bostria is explaining and what is happening on the table (which can be quite necessary as it is all so small). He has a calm approach as well, can't even catch him on fan-girling playing against Bostria (which I would, and people would totally see that if I was standing there.'
Who are we talking about now? Killian?

Yep, aka Deep-Green-X on the forums here.
I don't mind Killian, seems alright to me. BoW videos tend to not grab me that much but I watch them on occasion. I do preference video to article as most articles that I read are not written the way I think, rarely show me what I want to see in the pictures so I find it hard to follow the action. I don't think they are poorly done I just don't follow them as easily as I do full battle reports.

Great review, really good to have the option for reading as well as seeing.
One thing I would like to know is the tokens - are these pop-out card or just normal card we need to cut out with scissors?

Pop-out cards of some form of sturdy cardboard. They are really neat and give you everything you need for the 5 missions included in the booklet.
That's great news, thank you. Would not have liked to have to cut out loads of paper-thin tokens, and they would not have lasted long.

I had a bunch of epoxy stickers lying around. Stuck those on the cardboard markers from Icestorm: voila, awesome and durable tokens!
Oh, yeah! Totally forgot about those!

Still got a few, but you can order them for cheap on eBay.

Haha, no need. I have a lot of MAS tokens thanks to my trade off with IJW: 40K against MAS tokens.. And a couple of order tokens from our friends at Customeeple!
I'll manage!
