As a dwarf player, I don’t know why I watched 3 hours about magic, seems like some elf nonsense. But I had a good time watching it! Great job guys, looking forward to more deep dives!

I'm also a Dwarf player and I'm watching this to understand magic better so I can defeat magic.

Every deep dive needs to start with the submarine noise. Arguably the double awoooga. Val’s fuck up just established a new precedent.

The double is serious

This is the first Warhammer product I’ve ever bought. I’m putting together a force for a local escalation league to help learn the rules so this is a big help.

I wish I could live life with half the enthusiasm Val puts into his interpretive dance intros.

Love you Val! Thanks for coming on my show last week! You two continue crush it!

Im new to the Old World and watching 😁 really excited to get in and ive chosen Dwarfs as my 1st army. Enjoying the content, thanks

1 hour after dropping I've already enjoyed 3 hours of pure and unadulterated joy. #Squareblessed

I'm in love with the idea of a Beastlord with Mangelder, his bestigors having the Manbane standard, and that demonology spell for potentially -5 leadership.

I like the part where we deep dive!

The casting odds table analysis is amazingly interesting. I thought that low level wizards were useless before seeing this!

The deep dive intro, it made my day!

What's Magic is the way these two speak to my heart

3 hours in and still a fan. What a thiccc, juicy review.

Every deep dive needs that sound, put a smile on my face😂. Solid again lads. I commute home at the weekends and always listen to you guys for the 3 1/2 hours drive! Gutted I couldn't come to the opening at HQ as I only live 30 mins away but daughter was sick so couldn't make it. Keep up the great work lads, we are all still learning but it's fun doing it together, don't change a thing lads.

If anyone else did a 3hr hour video on magic it would have been dry as ….., great job guys.

By far the most entertaining warhammer duo. Keep up the great content!

That submarine intro was glorious!

This is so great. Thank you for all of the hard work.

If I am going to Canada this year, I need a Pint or five with Val. What a dude!

Indeed, you need no engagement bait, ngl, i started watching this to make an informed decision on my sorcerers' lores, staid for the mathgammer, fun and vibes, built my last chosennas you were talking about the lores I can't even take and still learned a lot about what I'll be up against

Id wish they kept that crazy shit on the miscast table. I need more of that gameplay in my life

I think the value of a lot of these Lores is increased by the Lore Familiar magic item which lets you choose your spells, especially ones like Elementalisim which have only a couple really good spells which if you can guarantee you can do a lot of list building around.

Guys... I am one minute in and no matter how informative the video will be, thank you for your chemistry and the way that you present stuff!

Thanks gang! I’d never have been able to sit and read all those, so big shout out to Val and Rob for helping this poor ADHDer out

Outstanding review and the best intro to date, cried with laughter - even more hilarious on twitch. Deep dive!!

Brilliant stuff as always, fun and educational, really loved getting Val's initial impressions on alot of the spells

Another epic show. Loving this, keep it up guys. ALL the magical vortices!

One thing I realized for assailant spells is that if you have higher Initiative than your opponent, you can wipe out their front line and prevent them from hitting back. So hammerhand is brutal vs dwarfs let's say, because you take away their heavy armor and take down several front rank models with great weapons before they get to hit you

Thanks for the video

3 days and I made it to the end. A deep dive *insert sound effect* indeed! Great stuff.

Loving all the content you guys are putting out! Keep up the good work

Nice. Looking forwards to the Empire overview you’ve said is coming soon and more deep dives with both of you.

Third watch, still learning every time 👍 Deep dive on Lizards please… 🙏

@@SquareBasedOldWorld well, as the runes are future, lesser umgak races could learn better options than simple magic.

Best Old World content!

Keen to see more Duip Duives!

The major secondary benefit of dispel magic from my pov is that it makes casting harder to proc in the first place therefore you don't have to risk dispells as often Also it would seem you can cast shield of saphery first and then cast another enchantment spell on the same unit since it only states it gets rid of ones cast previously Also I see those devious cogs turning in your mind Rob with regards to vortex spam ;P It was some of the first magical shenanigans I thought of as well Sisters of the thorn pillars of fire spam seems like a ridiculous standoff tactic since you can kite the casters away from potential dispels and keep crisping units whilst hampering their charges Wind blast is also a contender for me since you can utilize the poisoned javelins at 12" and follow up with a wind blast to widen the distance even more, seems like a bit more reliable damage but less control so a combination of the 2 would probably be ideal The fact that they are a special choice means that you can run 7 of them (@2k) as well which is just plain ridiculous since they all get to CHOOSE their spells BEFORE DEPLOYMENT from both battle magic and elementalism... the ultimate utility unit imho

2:48:29 WAG magic! Does it help you get married to a footballer?

Best intro ever 😂

Waaagh! magic is without a doubt THE most chaotic magic there is and man does it look like that now more than ever. Thanks again Rob and Val for all the work you guys do, so much. Cheers!

You guys are fantastic.

Enjoyed the deep doive

I survived to the end of the video and am engaging in the content, and NOT taking Rob's content bait. (Joke from 2:49:00)

I survived till the end..I might have absorbed %10 of the content.. Worth

I'm going to start beginning work calls like Val

I could not think of what one might do with Hammerhand unless playing Warriors of Chaos or a treeman, but if I am understanding Shield of the Lady for the Handmaidens of Bretonnia, it would mean they can be in the rear of the unit safe but still cast Hammerhand as if still in the front fighting rank. This could be very useful for a level 1 or 2 Damsel.

This helps with my night shift 👌

Since you asked for comments on drain magic, I think it's a very weak effect. As Rob noticed, it's a remains in play, which means you opponent will get another free chance to dispel it, this time at it's base value, before they cast any spells. At 9+ that's trivial for a level 4 and pretty easy for even a level 2. Even if it's not dispelled it's quite weak. Unless you have low level wizards attempting high difficulty spells the +2 casting value requirement will mostly be irrelevant. A level 4 doesn't really care if it needs to roll a 6 instead of 4, on 2d6 since it's aiming for much higher than that or it will be easily dispelled. So for this spell to have any impact at all you need to: 1 Successfully cast it. 2 Opponent fail to dispel it 3 Opponent fail to dispel it at it's base value on their turn 4 Opponent roll exactly 1 or 2 below the new modified casting value That's an absurd requirement. Overall a very disappointing signature. Should have been -2 to the opponents casting roll, and lasts until your next start of turn sub phase instead of remains in play.

@mikereed4594

5 ай бұрын

It's cast on a 9, you have to beat the casting value to dispel, so the dispel on their turn needs a 10+. That's pretty easy for a lvl 4 to beat, but pretty good against multiple lower level casters who are failing more than they succeed, and that's where the +2 casting value is also at its most effective. Certainly a very matchup dependent spell, but does not seem bad.

@jacekay6031

@@mikereed4594 That's true, good point. Yeah still quite easy for a level 4 but a little bit harder than I'd thought. I agree it's decent against multiple low level casters. It's just a shame that that's already when you're dispelling most enemy spells with your level 4. You'd really want drain magic to help when you're evenly matched or even behind (like against Chaos +6 to cast). But drain magic will do basically nothing there.

I'm going to have vietnam flashbacks every time someone casts Drain Magic now.

Keep in mind the Phantasmagoria only triggers at the end of the enemies movement. So they have a chance to dispel, and move away from it before it even can make them Impetuous or Panic (and Impetuous can't even trigger turn one).

@Alfindeol

This was what I was coming here to say. Even if you plop it down turn one and the trigger it by moving, they don't really suffer any ill effects from impetuous unless we circle all the way around to their turn again AND they fail to dispel it a second time.

love the show, and Vals intro shenanigans makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. Thanks for the deep dive :D

Who needs magic lores when you have warpfire

If you have two lvl2 wizards vs one lvl 1 wizard, the two lvl2 wizards can also spread out, and make it so that the lvl4 wizard can't be in dispel range of both.

About Phantasmagoria, I am guessing there will be discussions about enemy units that didnt move but are in range of the template. The casting player will say they endet their movement inside and the defending player will say "i didnt end any move since i didnt move".

High Magic can only be cast once per caster. Range: Self. Hex says "cannot be cast on the same unit multiple times". You are casting it on yourself. With multiple spellcasters, you can put down multiple hexes.
