Today two of the BoLS crew, AdamHarry and Bigred sit down and talk about the game as a whole.  We’ve all seen the minis, and we know the pricetag. But do you know exactly why this game is subtitled: “OVERKILL”?  We do and think that once you understand exactly what type of game GW has made you will have a hard time not adding it to your collection.

Are the game’s opposing sides asymmetrical?  Yes

Will the deathcount be astronomical over a campaign? Entertainingly so!

Does either side have a distinct advantage towards victory? Not a chance.

It is fast? Fast enough to be both entertaining and allow for all kinds of cinematic excitement – but not so fast as to be stressful.

Is it fun? OH HELL YES!

Is it worth my hard earned money?

Its got 50 of the most anticipated and high quality minis GW has put out in years. It has fast paced gameplay that is both exciting and cinematic. It has rules that are completely approachable by both veterans and youngsters who are just taking thier first steps into the Grimdark universe of Warhammer 40,000. It makes a perfect purchase either yourself or as a gift.  What more could you ask for in a single product?  It’s a home run!
