I just want to take a moment to give a tremendous thank-you to our entire Conquest LCG community, for supporting my efforts in grow ing my channel to the extent that I've finally hit the milestone of 500 YouTube subscribers!
As my way of saying thank-you, I'm overjoyed to announce my latest contest - giving away, to each of three winners, their choice of alternate art warlord card. Are you interested in potentially winning one of these for yourself, or to give away? Then follow the link, and check out my latest, rather interesting contest!

I feel, as a largely one-man operation, that I'm essentially a stranger to most of you - and I think this would be a fun opportunity for you to get to know the guy behind "The Hive Tyrant" a little better.
Thank you, again, for all your continued support - and as always, look forward to much, much more video content to come!

Today, I re-enter the OCTGN arena! I may produce a ton of Conquest videos, for sure, but am I any good myself?
Watch as my Ragnar faces off against user "ranlam" playing Zarathur - and I encourage you to leave feedback.

Regardless, enjoy! This match was intense.

Recently, I passed the milestone of 500 subscribers on YouTube. As the sole proprietor of " The Hive Tyrant​ ," and without a regular production crew to casually banter with, I took this as an opportunity to open up the floor to any and all questions the community had for me - you asked, and now, I answer.


Ever wanted to know more about the man behind "The Hive Tyrant?" Want to hear (literally) 249 minutes of me rambling about Conquest LCG, my history with the Lord of the Rings LCG, my background in gaming and content creation, as well as my entire (albeit abbreviated), life story? Well, then look no further than my "500 Subscriber Q&A!"


DISCLAIMER: topics range from light-hearted to extremely serious, and I divulge a tremendous amount of personal detail. Still, if that doesn't deter you, then I hope you enjoy my most "genuine" video to date, because - with your help - it was a pleasure to create.

The nail-biting OCTGN matches continue! Today, I'm pleased to present the glorious result of Packmaster Kith (piloted by papakhann), squaring off against everyone's favorite swooping hawk, Baharroth (played by Dan Napolitano).
I hope you enjoy yet another fantastic match! And of course, I'm still looking for volunteers to be recorded, as always. Shoot me a message if you're interested in being in your own video!
Note: this is the last video I recorded in which both players' hands are not visible.

The Lore of Warhammer 40,000 - Conquest Community Spotlight

This video was created, in part, to appeal to players who have never previously experienced the Warhammer 40k fictional setting, and additionally, to encourage players which enjoy other Warhammer games to experiment with Conquest.
It is very likely that this will be, by far, my most public-reaching video to date. Help me out by "Liking" this video, subscribing to my YouTube channel, and sharing this video with anyone you've ever wanted to get into 40k, or specifically into Conquest!
This could be huge for us, everybody - please help spread this thing around!
