2nd Edition 40k: Orks VS Blood Angels
Ойындар
Ghazghkull is making one last desperate push to break out of Tartarus Hive! Can the Blood Angels hold their strong points along the Skeletus River, or will the Orks be free to rampage across Armageddon unchecked?
Mission 4: Strongpoint was originally published in White Dwarf 169 and reprinted in the Battles Book along with cardstock terrain. This mission was designed to showcase the battle bunker and continue the Armageddon Scenarios included in the boxed game.
This will be the last battle report exclusively using the models included in the starter set - expect lots of exciting units to be cropping up in future battles!

Must be nostalgia, but there's something very special about those old models. This video was like a mid 90s White Dwarf come to life. Excellent work all round.
This is way more fun to watch than the bloated stratagem battles of today.

I can say with 100% certainty that 2e was more fun to play as well.

GW was already getting started in their tradition of loading up with special rules on top of special rules. At least this battle has no special characters.

@@Bagration421 I think early GW had an expectation that players would have gentlemen's agreements and make up the game they liked. One of my favourite passages in 1e WFRP is a rules section in Apocrypha Now about converting your RPG characters to battlefield models and back. And they outright state that the system taken literally can add rounding errors on rounding errors and should not be used as written.
Do you think you'll ever have a battle report where a Lascannon actually kills something?

I always struggle to concentrate on battle reports. They have a tendency of being kinda boring but yours are easy to follow and lots of fun to see. Great work!

Same here. These are the best battle reports out there! They’re the right length, they’re exciting, and they skip all the banter and get right to the action.

Being like, 3 v 5 units helps with clarity a lot I feel. Modern 40k is huge, and while I enjoy playing a big army, I get lost trying to follow 2 massive armies and what they are trying to do. Simpler is better!

If you are after enthusiastic battle reports bristling with narrative I’d suggest taking a look at Rogue Element Gaming, which focuses on 6th ed Fantasy but also dips into Necromunda. It too has an almost white dwarf golden era feel.
I'm really loving all these oldhammer battle reports. Keep em coming!
What a fantastic battle report! The miniatures are super painted and the narration puts in the atmosphere of war... on the table! ❤
This is the perfect battle report series. Short, exciting and ultra-retro! My only thought would be: for more campaigning, it might be really cool to see heroic characters and squads return in future missions with veteran skills, so we can follow their continuing journey across Armageddon!
I am so glad you're covering Warhammer 40K 2nd edition. I personally feel that it was the best Edition, yes it maybe clunky compared to the newer additions, but I love the smaller scale and more personal level to the combat. I have never gotten rid of my second edition along with all of my supplements. Not only because they were the best games that I and my light Brother played, but they were the most enjoyable games I've ever played. Thank you so much for the Memories and keep up the good work. Cheers

The key second was that warcraft and star craft hadn't been invented yet.. we still had standards.😂
2e truly is the best of 40k. Nothing beats the vibrant Warhammer 40,000 logo, and the deep 90s design of the minis.
This is so fantastic, well done. The filming, editing, voice work, models, terrain... Just increadble. I'm going to enjoy this while it's pure and before you blow up.
I love the old 2e cardboard ruins glued on to foam.
I recognise that music! I've missed your last couple of uploads. But loving that Blood Angels force. Blue head BA vets were my first love 💙❤
Love the original Space Hulk video game style voice over vibes. "to the left, overwatch!"
Merci pour ce rapport de bataille! Je me souviens , il y a presque trente ans déjà, de ma défaite face aux Goffs sur ce scénario! Nostalgie... Encore!
Love the little briefing bits at the start and the great editing from beginning to end.
Love the story narration, and the bright 90s style Blood Angels. Especially as I played them in 2nd. (Yeah, I had 4 armies and 3 of them were Space Marines. These guys were some of my favorite, though. Especially veteran assault squads. I had half the veteran company plus support.)
These are so good! Those old models are glorious. Makes me relive my childhood with my best mate. We started with the 2nd ed box too! Keep em coming!
A comment and like for the WAAAAHGorithim.
Yeeeeessssss more!! 😄 Such joy to see another video!
I love the voice over, it’s like Garth Marengi is doing a battle report from my childhood :)

The orcs look over the parapet and saw blood angels....blood angels...red shining blood angels...and bits of guardsmen.
I watched probably a dozen battle reports this week and could never make it past turn 1. And here I thought 40k couldnt be fun anymore!
Lovely looking armies, nice rich red Blood Angels armour and vintage Orks showing off how well they look with some TLC. Enjoyed this timewarp batrep and the sneaky peek at the end .. mmm more shiny toys, great!
The best way to present battle report on utube !
This might be my new favorite KZread channel/series. Bravo, tremendous work.
Great music, great visuals, excellent editing - such a treat these battle reports - very well done! More, more! :D
I do love these reports, takes me right back to when I started myself. I didn't think squads could split fire back then though.

Thanks so much! I'm pretty sure targeting vehicles is the exception to the splitting fire rule. I'll have a check before I film the next batrep.
I must say these Battlereports are the best I've seen this far on KZread. The editing, painting and landscape are marvellous! Keep it up guys, you're doing a great job. :)
I watch a lot of 40K 2nd ed content on KZread. Whilst I understand this is a small scale game, I must say I am very impressed with the way it is presented. Thank you very much for sharing and I hope to be able to watch more of your videos as a result :-)
The nostalgia from the Final Liberation soundtrack in the background hit hard
Everything about this video reminds me why I got into this hobby.
Great game! Awesome looking forces! I'm hoping to see the Orks field a shokk attack gun or a Bubble-Chucka in the future. Also looking forward to seeing the custom Land Speeder screaming into battle.
I'm happy to see the ork dreadnought do more in this battle report
Love this - particularly that it has been so well edited down to the 15/20min mark
Lets get another video out, bud!! You're videos are so quality, I demand more!!! please....
Another great battle report! Hope the next one has more footage of the cute cat at the end!
An amazing battle report, quick and punchy with a real back and forth. The marines put such a good fight up and really seemed to be blunting the Ork offence at the start, it could’ve gone either way and that’s great, nothing worse than a 1 sided battle report
Possibly the best battle reports in the business.
YEEEEEES I LOVE THESE!!!!! ILL BE WATCHING THIS AS I PAINT MY ZENOS IN 2ND EDITION COLORS!
I've watched a number of groups playing 40k, from many editions, but yours are by far the most fun, entertaining, and surprisingly educational. Keep it up! Cant wait for the next one.

Excellent bat rep, great story telling and no over hyping nonsense
Absolutely awesome, excited for the next videos
Very happy to find this channel after your start at TTT I can see why they wanted to get you on the team.
Great batrep!!! Really excited to see more :D
Just lovely! This is pure gold! I love the presentation and the models. Thank you, all the best.
I dont even play the tabletop but i love watching these battle reports so well done
Absolutley loved it. Everything looked amazing and the presentation was just awesome. Hope Eldar feature as an army at some point!
A real delight to watch - very thematic! Hope you had half as much fun playing as we did watching.
Yet another exciting episode! Thank you!!!
Love these battle reports. Great balance between rules details, narrative elements, and not getting bogged down in every step-by-step action. Plus great production value!
Love this stuff, keep it coming!

Fantastic battle report. Looking forward t seeing the armies grow and the battle reports to come. Nice little teaser in the background too.
My intro to 40k was the Second Edition starter set, and I never knew there was a fourth mission to the Armageddon Campaign! Ed, everything about these videos is inspirational. I love your painting and modelling. The bunkers look terrific!
I really enjoyed this!
Excited for the next one. As someone who started playing in third edition I appreciate the more narrative style battle report. 2nd edition rules are slightly confusing to me

I would love to. One day.
Fantastic battle report. Loved the desperate defense of the Space Marines in their bunkers, and the desperate push of the Orks amid the ruins. I scratch built my own bunker a while back in the traditional style. But I was dissatisfied with the paint job, and so primed over it. It's sitting in my terrain box, incomplete, even now. I should give it another go at some point. My battlefields could use a bunker.
superb - thank you
Cracking good report as always and a long-awaited victory for da green boyz.
Ah cool! Played that one myself, years back, with those bunkers.. Fun!
Truly brilliant!
I've never seen those old plastic monopose models painted so well, they don't even look that bad when they're painted up like that!
MOOOOORE! Great work. Krep going!
Perfect timing! My pizza just arrived!
Every upload is amazing

I started playing the 10th edition and it is my first time playing warhammer 40k, but dude those older models look so awesome and clean and having that kinda classic feeling to them.... I am so frustrated I did not discover this universe and the hobby earlier.
Fantastic content!
Another amazing batrep for 2nd ed! Seriously loving these, they are my favorite 40k bat reps right now. This ed is such a slog to play especially with no experience in it just judging by the rules but in a video its super fun to see. Each model and unit doing so much with so little. Really makes everything feel more intense.
Thank you for spreading 2nd ed words !! Your battle reports are amazing... and your miniatures superbly painted !❤❤
Oh hell yes! More 2nd edition!
Awesome battle report. Keep it up.
Best battle report channel on youtube no contest
Ok, first thing, I am an old timer, I started playing WK40K just before the release of the 2nd ED box set and I still prefer the 2nd ED to any of the following editions. Second, my sons got into playing WH40K in the middle of Covid as the world was all getting cabin fever. My youngest saw and asked about my boxes on the top shelf of the closet that absolutely no one was allowed to even look at let alone touch. Now as we play a game at least once a month and they are able to play games without me, my oldest came across your channel and told me about it. I as the old wise man, said yes, an excellent channel fulled with the grandeur that is WH40K! I rewatched this particular battle report with them and one of my sons in a joking matter that is so much a part of the game, as far as it was back in my day, he said and I quote..... "He should repaint those Blood Angels to make them Lamenters with their luck and all!" I could not stop myself from laughing. Thank you for going back in time to show the world how amazing 2nd edition was and still is, you have 4 fans in us, so long as you continue to do the Emperor's work.🤣👍
