Editing Recommended Web Video Channels

{{stub}}

This page is dedicated to the well-known content creators who create Warhammer, D&D, and/or other tabletop related content, or history-related channels that are good starting places for research. Creators who are interested in but do not regularly create content around these topics are not included.

==Warhammer Creators==
===[https://www.youtube.com/user/GamesWorkshopWNT WarhammerTV]===
The official [[Games Workshop]] YouTube channel for Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar. There you can find trailers for new armies, boxes and codexes. But more importantly, you can find tutorials by [[Duncan Rhodes]] and [[Chris Peach]] on how to paint, kitbash and use tools, which let's face it is the real reason to keep up with the channel.

===[https://www.youtube.com/user/Luetin09/featured Luetin09]===
The true workhorse of the 40k Youtube content creators. The sheer volume and variety of content he presents caters to a wide range of interests. From tactics and tutorials, to lore and hobby tips. Also does gaming overviews for various military themed video games.

===[https://www.youtube.com/user/alfabusa Bruva Alfabusa]===
You know who he is, I know who is, we all know who he is. Chapter Master of the now defunct Alfa Legion and creator of the YouTube phenomenon [[If the Emperor had a Text-to-Speech Device]]. Has also created a few other shows like The Upper Hive and has a bunch of Dawn of War 2 voice lines on his channel from years ago... for reasons most would rather forget.
===[https://www.youtube.com/user/kokarorloli Karl the Deranged]===
Also needs very little introduction. Voices characters on [[TTS]] like [[Marneus Calgar]] and sometimes shows up at the end of episodes just to shout. On his channel you'll find content in a similar vein to TTS, like Ravandil's Quest and the meme-worthy [[Vindicare|Vindicare Assassin]] video.

===[https://www.youtube.com/user/ThunderPsyker ThunderPsyker]===
Voices Little Kitten in [[TTS]] (this is a theme for 40K content creators) and has made some ace reviews of the [[Dawn of War]] series. Definitely worth a watch.

===[https://twitter.com/Eliphusz Eliphas]===
Named after the titular [[Eliphas the Inheritor|Inheritor]]. Creates art for [[TTS]] and sometimes voices characters. Is more active on Twitter, but uploads some pretty good videos every now and then.

===[https://www.youtube.com/user/galiant609 StringStorm]===
Makes music for [[TTS]] and a bunch of Warhammer-themed music as well. Also created a 40K [[Anime|Singing Idol]] contest series thing. Because of course he did.

===[https://www.twitch.tv/zoranthebear ZoranTheBear]===
Voices - you guessed it - [[TTS]] characters, in particular [[Leman Russ]], but also has a YouTube channel he would upload games to, usually with a 40K twist to it. However, he's abandoned the channel in favor of Twitch. Besides gaming he also does some 40k army building and roleplaying on the side.

===[https://www.youtube.com/user/remleiz 40K Theories]===
Starring Remleiz and Naerina, 40K Theories makes general lore videos, videos [[Heretek|theorizing]] reasons for the unexplained in 40K, and videos spotlighting fan-made factions. Unsurprisingly, both Remleiz and Naerina occasionally lend their voices to [[TTS]].

===[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSa11XXA7HlmoLTSCy8NuwA Tactica Imperialis]===
Creates lore videos on 40K and gives his thoughts on the tabletop game. He also does a podcast with 40K Theories.

===[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTRMzE8VJ4WH1F8kKdbYlzw NornQueenAlexis]===
Makes videos that are great to listen to while making models. She uploads a lot of battle reports, rambling videos, vlogs, and her own podcast "The Emperor's Tarot". She used to be on the podcast with 40K Theories and Tactica Imperialis but left for her own reasons. Also voiced [[Miriael Sabathiel]] in [[TTS]].

===[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChS9wazLlTUHSTeKVG39hZw Arch Warhammer]===
Mister [[Skub|Skubtastic]] himself. Arch has made a name for himself by producing Warhammer 40K and Warhammer Fantasy lore videos with expressive enthusiasm, real world tactics and armies to help describe and deepen the lore, and depending on who you ask is either a funny guy with a purposely offensive sense of humor, a [[/pol/|literal Nazi]], or a [[Skaven]]. He's also prone to making shit up in his videos and claims to be a "loremaster" despite not knowing a lot of things (like how Angron became a daemon prince). The best way to describe him is a somewhat well-read but politically outspoken guy with an insufferable accent who can be a bit of [[That Guy|a prick.]] He also makes videos on 40k related games and the occasional video on miscellaneous games that grab his attention. Unfortunately for him, shit has really hit the fan for the dude after his [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfH7NJnKoX8 response] to [[Games Workshop|GeeDubs]]' now-infamous [https://i.redd.it/kfs5s81s9z251.jpg now-infamous "Warhammer Is For Everyone"] blurb, which is [[Bullshit|a perfectly censured and mature response]] to something that would've been an inconsequential political-speak blurb had he shut up. As a result of that video [[FAIL|(which now sits at even likes and dislikes)]], recovered posts from his Discord channel revealed his Nazi "jokes"... [https://i.redd.it/3jq9dsqyka351.png weren't actually just Nazi jokes], [[Derp|apparently]]. So basically, if you plan on watching this guy, keep in mind the strew of controversy he's going under right now, and [[Skub|keep your head down]].

===[https://www.youtube.com/user/VigiliaMortis Chapter Master Valrak]===
A 40K news channel and [[Imperial Fists]] fanboy. Also produces videos on 40K games and gets fairly involved in other projects such as Helsreach. Can come across as incredibly annoying if you're not the type of person to treat GW like they're beneficent overlords who need to be praised for everything they do, or if you play anything other than Space Marines. Seriously, for a while this guy complained about not having "proper Primaris transports" whenever anything new came out until the [[Impulsor]] came along. Self-identifies with the Imperium, often using the term "we" whenever he refers to the Imperium winning in a global campaign or story. If you're into that kind of stuff, give him a watch. Otherwise, you might want to stay away.

===[https://www.youtube.com/user/KiriothTV KiriothTV]===
A 40K vlogger and once a member of the Unit Lost Gaming channel before becoming a 40K channel. Always keeps up to date with 40K news and gives his 50 cents on the hobby. Also uploads videos on assorted topics that have taken his fancy.

===[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTX2KaSsRsy_HAQgEDs59lg Kitetsu]===
Like Kirioth, but for [[Age of Sigmar]].

===[https://www.youtube.com/user/SnipeAndWibPlay Snipe and Wib]===
A gaming couple with a love for 40K. They create a wide array of content, from vlogs to gameplay videos. Created two videos about [[Rogue Trader (Sourcebook)|Rogue Trader]] that more or less brought their channel into the light, and done look backs on other famous old 40k rule books. Both are in a band called "Fighting Evil is Cool", and Wib's real name is [[Matt Ward]] ([[What|no really]]). Oh, and both have been in [[TTS]].

===[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTaGjGmcHYD2fqukCIVfjvQ Richard Boylan]===
Creates videos in SFM and the like. Is responsible for turning [[Grimaldus|Helsreach]] into a YouTube series, and made a live action 40K video that didn't suck (see, it can be done). Is currently in talks with GeeDubs themselves for an official animated special involving the [[Blood Angels]].

===[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4uzNr43jVZOTc0vLmKnniw Mark Louis Spark]===
Creates 3D model renders and is currently in the process of making a [[Horus Heresy]] movie called [[Grimdark|"Death of Hope"]]. Judging from what we've seen so far it looks great, and hopefully won't go the same way as [[Lord Inquisitor]].

===[[MiniWarGaming]]===
A large network of [[Neckbeards]] playing a variety of wargames, chief among them the Warhammers. Most of their content is more for entertainment than hardcore gameplay, so expect flubbed rules.Also moulds that make you go to sleep

===[https://www.youtube.com/user/StrikingScorpion82 StrikingScorpion82]===
Purely 40K gameplay, specializing mostly in longform and technical batreps. Great for learning how to play a faction in a fun but competitive way.

===[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_N4w4z6CQEBgRfvlwlID_A 2+ Tough]===
Primarily an Age of Sigmar lore channel, with some 40K, Necromunda and other games occasionally being covered. Doug is the host, and he focuses on short and easily digested lore videos, all with a laid back and down to earth presentation. Also hosts painting livestreams, where he answers lore questions and interacts with other Warhammer Youtubers.

===[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdpGd0jls7VQh6LvcZT_p1A Baldermort's Guide to Warhammer]===
He is a rising warhammer 40k content creator who specialises in beginner level lore and storys for his videos.

==D&D Creators==
Channels that just do readings of stories taken from [[Reddit]] and [[4chan]]'s [[/tg/]] don't count.
===[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCXR2kCo7Lcw_BKwWxo09kw Zee Bashew]===
An animator who makes D&D-related animations on how to use spells, run games, and just general D&D things. It's fun and worth a look if you're new to D&D.
===[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUpkp-6fXuG9dqfoJ99XTmw Puffin Forest]===
Probably the number 1 most popular D&D animator on youtube.  While his animation is far from being the best (his art style is worse than [[Order of the Stick]]), he more that makes up for it with his amazing humor.  He mostly talks about D&D, but he occasionally does videos about [[Call of Cthulhu]] and other games.  Most of his videos tell hilarious stories about stuff that happened to him during tabletop games (both as a player and a game master) and in others he reviews tabletop games and gives advice to players and game masters.
===[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfPUcG3oCmXEYgdFuwlFh8w Dingo Doodles]===
Another animator who rivals Puffin Forest in popularity.  Mostly makes videos telling funny stories about her life and D&D.  Her main campaign story is Fool's Gold, an epic and extremely wacky adventure staring her character Sips, a badass chaotic good uplifted monkey wild magic sorcerer full of [[RAGE]], who constantly is breaking the campaign, much to the frustration of Felix the DM.
===[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCDWmgX1kc_tEXOd0OJmF_Q/ Adan]===
A less popular but still worth checking out animator who does D&D videos, both based on his campaigns and short skits that make fun of the [[That Guy|typical players]] and events you will likely encounter while playing D&D.  Also makes a few songs about D&D.
===[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRDVE5L1LTWhmPAKKbUBGtg JoCat]===
An animator who makes crap guides to D&D in the style of [[Zero Punctuation]]

===[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFI3kfmevIHBNZlXYi0Y-zm7b2lrDWlfN Counter Monkey]===
Only a semi-recommendation. We have an [[Counter Monkey|article on him already]]. Go read that if you want to know why this is only a semi-recommendation.

==BattleTech Creators==

===[https://www.youtube.com/user/BlackPantsLegion Black Pants Legion/Tex]===
A miscellaneous, mostly SS13 content, in which a guy named Tex makes a series called Tex Talks Battletech, which goes into detailed, sometimes embellished (due to being an Inner Sphere supporter) accounts of mechs and history of Battletech universe.

==[[Lancer (RPG)|Lancer]] Creators==

===[https://www.youtube.com/user/11dragonkid/featured DragonKid11]===
One part memer, one part guidebook, DragonKid discusses quite a lot about each of the various officially available frames, rules, lore and even a couple fan-made homebrews as well. He also does some Battletech stuff as well.

==History Channels (The Kind That Don't Show Ancient Aliens 24/7)==

Because "realism" is something of a debate, actual [[Wargaming]] is a thing, and the general assuming a setting should be "[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LikeRealityUnlessNoted Like Reality Unless Noted]", we'll list some good "realism argument" and "actual military history" channels.

===[https://www.youtube.com/user/lindybeige Lindybeige]===
Very much a nerd's nerd, and easily mistaken for a crazy homeless man living under a bridge, but he's covered a lot of stuff that's of interest to /tg/. If you want the /tg/ stuff, the "Weapons and Armor" "History" and "Warfare" playlists are of interest. He even covers some tabletop gaming material in his various discussions, ranging from scenery creation to fantasy weapon design, to complaints about 4th edition, and even a contest for the creation of a "[[Wat|Surprise Elemental]]."

===[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLfMmOriSyPbd5JhHpnj4Ng TimeGhost]===
The guys best known for running a "World War II: Week by week", a channel that covers World War II, week by week, in real time, and, with a different presenter, The Great War, which is more or less the same thing for WWI.

===[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCv_vLHiWVBh_FR9vbeuiY-A History Civilis]===
Mainly Roman history, told from a top down perspective with colored squares.

===[https://www.youtube.com/user/THFEProductions Invicta]===
Like the above, but with better art and more of a Roman focus.

===[https://www.youtube.com/user/jastownsendandson Townsends]===
A series focused on the day to day life of 18th and early 19th Century America. Despite the late focus, most of what it covers is applicable to pre-industrial society in general and it often talks of how things were done before this. Also has lots of cooking of period recipes.

===[https://www.youtube.com/user/todsstuff1 Tod's Workshop]===
Propmaker and engineer Tod Todeschini covering various replicas of antique arms he has made. While many channels talk about the history of the weapons, Tod's Workshop uniquely focuses on their construction and the physics reasons they are the way they are. Of particular note is his [[crossbow]] series, where he covers the history, power and mechanical design of many, many types of crossbows.

===[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCggHoXaj8BQHIiPmOxezeWA History Buffs]===
This channel focuses on blockbuster films based on history; not only are you given a detailed summary for the historical context of the film, but also notes where the film may deviate from historical accounts; very useful if you were ever shown such a film in history class and developed an inaccurate understanding of the events shown. Film selection includes such classics such as ''Lawrence of Arabia'', ''Waterloo'', ''Tombstone'', etc... as well as some genuine stinkers like ''Kingdom of Heaven'' and ''Timeline''. Most will be war films or other genres of action-based historical dramas, like Westerns and Gangster films.

===[https://www.youtube.com/user/shadmbrooks Shadiversity]===
A historian and fantasy writer who discuses things about the middle ages you probably didn't know, common misconceptions about the middle ages seen in fiction, how to make fantasy more realistic, reviews of fantasy movies and tv shows, and more.

===[https://www.youtube.com/user/scholagladiatoria Scholagladiatoria]===
A HEMA instructor and antique sword seller who discusses the details how weapons were actually used and the distinctions between types of swords. Prone to rambling.

===[https://www.youtube.com/user/TheChieftainWoT The Chieftain's Hatch]===
A tank commander and tank historian does examinations and explanations of old tanks. Also some model tanks.
