Can I just say I love the casual nature of this battle report. It has the same feel as walking by a game at a local game store and asking how it's going.

Please keep making battle reports! With your terrain and minis they look epic!

Eric love the format of this video. Combining old school handheld action but within 30-40 minutes instead of a couple hours. Keep it up

I hope you eventually do some Necromunda reports aswell.

I'm guessing that would depend on Eric's other half, eh? She _did_ say she would, right 😉?

Love that the tourney grounds became a battle field scenery piece As always you fought with valour

Probably the best battle setting I've seen. Bonus points for the dragons breathe template and the secret waterfall cave. Epic.

Heh, the secret stash behind the waterfall is so great. A delight to watch this game with your beautiful minis and terrain!

Looking good, but you know we all want to see that Kill Team board of yours in action!

Really great batrep. Engaging narration and commentary and excellent editing too.

Wow thanks! I can already think of lots of things to improve but your kind words are much appreciated

That Breton army looks great! I esp love the Dogs of War you used, still the best looking army for my money and hopefully we get rules for them.

This is amazing, look forward to many more battle reports! I'm most excited for a battle report on your trench warfare table once it's complete! Thanks Eric!

After having one of the most upleasent Warhammer 40k battles of my life and general frustration with 40k, it is nice to watch some Old World battle reports to see how tabletop games can actually be fun. 40k has become power gaming galore, everything is overpowered, you are removing whole squads every turn and the mission cards decide the game. The goblin green alone makes me happy.

Nah... 40k isn't that bad. The last balance dataslate did some very good changes to the game. Sure, there is always room for further improvement, but there will never be a 'perfect' balancing anyway.

Nice to see Tomb Kings do well for a change. That tomb king on dragon was a real monster!

God the paintjob on that Bone Dragon looks so good, it gives it that old school feel despite the newer design of the sculpt.

Love the feel of this and the one on Skari's channel. Not enough handcam battle reports these days. Would love to see the rolls though!

I agree to a certain point, I would of loved to see the dice rolls of the dragon duel and the grail knights getting an smashed, but showing every single dice turns a great little bite sized battle report into a hour slog. No other channel does battle reports this fast and it's refreshing.

Im stoked for your new channel! You are the only channel I like before even watching the video. I hope this channel goes so well for you!

Finally a battle report that shows models close enough. I recently came back into the hobby and I have been searching for channels to bring on to the TV and see some nice models fighting on the tabletop. Table and models look great! 👍

Thanks for the batrep! Just a heads up on ambushers, even though you roll for them in the command sub phase, they don't appear until the remaining moves phase so cannot charge the turn they are placed

Love the terrain! Great job to all for a great battle report!

Loving these first two batreps! And the old Bretonnian models are fantastic!!!

Figures, terrain, and battle were awesome!

Got a big mug of tea and pile of biscuits on the sofa for this one!

@@alanrickett2537 yeah im only talking about the dragon fight not the rest of both armies. and the knights didnt have a charge bonus most of the time plus the champ/characters were gone. in my experience inflicting wounds against a t6 with a ward save and regen (without lance bonus) is almost impossible without some incredible dice luck.

This was a brilliant video! You could tell you were both really enjoying the actual game and narrative of this. I laughed at the hidden cave behind the waterfall! 🤣🤣Silly bone he's won't ever find that

Pursuing a Unit counts as charging for lances! Weather they fail there leadership or not!!!!

Great batrep, loved the lower camera angle, felt like I was THERE

Had a blast it was a pleasure

The voiceovers and music are wonderful touches. Great shots of gorgeous armies and terrain. Good work keeping everything going on in the battle very clear. Love it!

There's something poetic about how the games on each of your channels went down. Looking forward to more battle reports!

AMAZING! Cannot Wait for more of this! Go Eric!

Awesome video! Please keep em coming!

Loving the old world. Looking forward to seeing some more reports on the boards you've built(the titan especially).

Great batrep! Love you guys

Fantastic battle report. Really like how chilled you two are

super new to the hobby, don't have any minis yet but have been waiting for old world to return to maybe save up and start. it's great to see it played out in this nice casual format. thanks so much for posting

This was awesome! Its so cool to see your Bretonian army in its all its glory, doing battle in the scenery you made for the jousting. What happens to the duke now though? His home has been destroyed, his people slaughtered and the dead now roam the land!

Brilliant battlereport, definatly one of the best formats on youtube at the moment ❤ Cant say I’m a fan og the challange system - it is what it is and you played it to great effect, but its a system I’d rather do without. Great video, subscribing and hoping for more 👍

Yea, for now my best idea is to not take unit champions, and that just feels bad. Tabletop Tactics just housed ruled challenges to oblivion (and I applaud it) but going to events or playing in stores we just have to put up with it. I hope the Nobles of Bretonnia can device some useful counters to it, for now I won't let my Pegasus lord charge a unit with a champion unless it's to back up another unit that has a champion to absorb the challenge, but I haven't found a good way for my Bretonnians to deal with enemy monster characters without them throttling the charge with a challenge. @@EricsHobbyBattleReports

Great battle report.

I really enjoy this style of battle report.

Love the video so far

Great display of movement and combat!!! Loved it

great video, love the little details like the treasure,people falling over when they die and the bone dragons breath attack. easy follow here

Great report! Tomb scorpions should have the wide edge of the base front though. Also, charging is declared at the start of movement not the end of strategy, but that of course is just semantics. More of these please!

damn eric love everything about this!

Great minis, awesome battle report, it did feel one-sided by turn 2 though, those spells and right side units were surprisingly good.

This was awesome, reminds me of reading White Dwarf as a kid

Love the use of Al muktars, I use some as mercenary pistoliers for my ostland army. The armies look great!

I really love seeing old world battle reports. But also props to keeping it under an hour.

I love this battlefield. A fight on the tournament grounds. The spectators get in on the action. Even the secret extra treasure hidden behind the waterfall. Scenic as hell. Great battle report.

A couple minor rules points: Ambushing units cannot charge the turn they arrive from reserve. While you roll for reserves at the Start of Turn subphase of the strategy phase, models arriving from reserve are not actually placed onto the table until the Compulsory Moves subphase of the Movement phase - after all of that turn's charges are already complete. Also, a wizard who is engaged in combat may not attempt a wizardly dispel. Not a big deal, there's a lot of minor rules complications in the Old World, and I think we're all still missing bits here and there as we slowly absorb this rule set.

You, Sir Eric, did not disappoint. Love the care put into everything and the lore of your army composition at the very start. 😊 Hope to see you expand outside of GW some day. Would love to see you introduced to This Is Not A Test (2nd ed incoming), Marvel Crissis Protocol and/or Malifaux. Honestly, think you would love them. Subscribed Love the laid-back style and narrating.

Such a beautiful board! Very impressive. Would've loved to have seen mini's clashing for that secret horde of treasure:p Subbed x

Clean, concise, easy to watch and a great friendly game. The best Old World game I have seen yet.

Eric & Skari! Two of my favorites. Love the collaboration my genteel dudes!

Looks great! Those classic WHF horse tails are a pain, always breaking off and falling out, makes me feel better about my own frustration with that problem to see it happens to others.

Great battle report! Love to see more! Maybe explain a bit what each artifact or unit does?

Just found this. The quality its great and I hope we see more!

Awesome battle! In the future I'd love to see dice rolls though! Adds a fun ammount of tension

Amazed by both armies! More videos of The Old World :)

Great battle report. It wouldn't change the result, but I noticed 3 little mistakes. Flaming attacks only remove the regeneration, if the unit has flammable too. Skeletons are not flammable. If you win combat, and outnumber the losing side more then 2:1 (unit strength), then the defeated units either give ground, or flee. They can't fall back in good order (unless Grail Knights have some special rule). And charging doesn't give combat resolution anymore. Keep up the good work :)

Really loved watching this and getting me in the mood to finish my models to get some TOW games in! Did notice at 19:36 you move the damsel to the back of the battle pilgrims/grail relique. Seems like you can only do that in units with a Knightly/Questing/Grail vow which that unit doesn't have: Page 87 of Forces of Fantasy: If this character has joined a unit that has a Unit Strength of 10 or more, and that has a Chivalrous Vow (see page 108), they may voluntarily ‘retire’ to the rear of the unit at any time, moving through the ranks and taking up a position away from the combat.
