It sounds dumb but what the Burna boyz had to deal with is instant death. When the vehicle explodes it forces a disembark on the unit inside (the Burna Boyz); each model needs to roll a dice and on the roll of a 1 the model is slain, no matter how many wounds they have. So if say that Weird Boy was in the transport, if the roll was a 1 then he'd be dead. No saves, No multiple wounds to save him, just dead.

Thank you so much for posting this battle report. I remember getting into WH40k back in 2009 and having the hardest time finding anyone to play against because I only had 500 points of troops. Some people were willing to play against me while others said "No" because they didnt want to have to step down to such a small army. I'm really glad to see people still want to not only play with 500 point armies but even post battle reports online. Thank you and keep up the great content!

@@MidwinterMinis 500-1000 point games is the sweet-spot in my opinion (although the spectacle of bigger games definitely has its appeal in its own way). Small games however are quick, fun, and arguably more tactical in some respects than larger games. The ability to get in more games also allows people to try out more missions and lists, giving more variety in games too. Plus, for BatReps, they are quicker to play (and probably therefore quicker to edit), more digestible for viewers which means they will pull in more views, and are great for showcasing the minis being used. Also, these small BatReps are GREAT for bringing new people into the hobby because they make the games and rules so easy to follow, and it counteracts the idea that you need like 1500-2000 points to have a fun game, which is a perspective which can be really off-putting for potential new players as armies that size take a while to collect and can be really daunting prospects. I would love to see more BatReps on youtube from both you and other channels like Tabletop Tactics at the 500-1000 point range or playing smaller games like Kill Team

I'm a simple man. I see a midwinter minis battle report and I click like. (I love the shorter format that you guys do rather than the huge 2 hour long ones) Keep it up!
