This is some of the highest quality wh40k stuff I've seen in a while and the ruleset you've made for this honestly seems 10x better than normal play, much more entertaining to watch too.

It is really nice to see familiar Dawn of War on tabletop. The whole board and models are awesome. Only one thing really bugs me. I don't know if it's because Warhammer is so unbalanced when you play against Space Marines or your rules could have a little bit of ballancing changes, but for the whole time (since the last part) I have the felling that Orkz have no freakin chances. It's like Marines shoot and autodeletes a unit of Orkz, or even vehicle, or building. Orkz charge and are in melee (wich they should be strong AF) throw 20+ dices and score 2 wounds wich remove a single model... Thats just sad...

@Dorsidwarf

Жыл бұрын

Yeah, it did make it a bit hilarious how the narrative kept suggesting the space marines were under real threat or it was balanced on a knife edge when the space marines spent the entire game sweeping every single engagement with minimal losses, with the sole exception of the assault marines who jumped right into three melee specialists.

Can't wait for the Winter Assault and Soulstorm playthrough, with all factions.

Hopefully the final form you create will be a bit more balanced as this is a really fun concept to try out. Since we don't quite know the behind the scenes actions the orks took or the intended campagin narrative flow, I can only make assumptions based on what I saw and the RTS. The Ork unit size (or pop cap?) and their buildings lacking their offensive shooting whilst being so squishy compared to the marine structures could use some adjustment.

So nostalgic. Love this campaign! Great to see Imperial Guard. Also your oath of moment you can re role hits and wounds

Using the plane as a gang way is such a perfect idea for orks

A phenomenal concept, turning a battle game into a skirmish game with a board game adaption of RTS economics. I've been absolutely inspired by this project. Great work and best of luck.

@@ZorpHammer , maybe it's the old school grognard in me, but balance is overrated. ;) Keep cracking on.

Some Oldhammer scenarios use blind or doubleblind deployment or gameplay. They might mention a referee to assist the game. In some scenarios you can do fun little things like find unit strength manifests in an office, like a duty roster where the orks have detailed who gets to do the boring and fun jobs. Players might have no knowledge of the other army or use pre-determined units.

I'd love to see the impirial guard, with just a legion of hell hounds! Incinerating the Green skins!!! 🔥 loving the series so far!!!! Great job!

This is somewhere up high on the list of the coolest things I’ve seen in this hobby, you are living out all of our nerd dreams!

Taking the GW approach and giving the Marines all the fun gear and making the orks run on trash.

This was really fun. I am looking forward to seeing the overlay rules. I'd like to see tyranids and necron rules. The all consuming hunger versus the metallic flesh of undeath. Would be fun to see.

I would love to see imperial Guard in this kind of setting, they have some nice special rules like entrenching in their own buildings and going between them using tunnels, maybe you could even make a Winter Assault themed campaign. Also it would be nice if you could build a listening post atop a control point to boost it's requisition production and add some defensive capabilities

Oh, da brutal kunnin! Da kunnin brutality! I had thought that this almost read like a story mission, where the marines were intended to win - and the moment when it looks like the orks are going to absolutely ruin that plan! This really has been an incredible battle report, I cannot commend you both enough for how this one went - and it only took 2-4 days to get through it all!

I still play the game to this day and it's great to find someone playing it on the tabletop. Normally I lose interest watching battle reports of standard games, but I sat down and watched both episodes without realizing the time! Great job on coming up with all of these custom rules.

This right here is why i started a blood ravens army! Growing up playing dawn of war made them an obvious choice and by the emperor do i want to try this one day

Absolutely loving this series

I love this concept and hope to one day play a version of this myself once you do a full release. I imagine the next two factions you will add will probably be the ones from classic Dawn of War, i.e. Craftworld Eldar and Chaos Marines. But I hope you will add in the future more factions from the other Dawn of War games. Tau, Necrons, Imperial Guard and others would be really interesting to see added to this system.

Classic Dawn of war game, the enemy attacks your base while you were focused on your main army and having to build quick tac marines with no upgrades. nostalgia overload

I find this game much more enjoyable than the average. It's very dynamic, and the point to play the movements rather than mesuring everything really helps to feel like the video game. Great job guys

More dawn of war, its so nice to watch! i started replaying dawn of war on the pc because of this. I would love to see a skirmish with or against a chaos team with a defiler or deamon prince!

I am a mesbg and not a 40k player, but I loved this narrative system game. was so fun to watch. Found myself wanting to play as it reminded me of the old Command & Conquer/Red Alert PC Game. I also was routing for the Orks for somereason, I liked their sneaky tactics. Thanks for the video,.

I don't even like warhammer but I'm enjoying this series. Love the base building and upgrades and fog of war. This needs to be adapted to other games. Also, the sounds effects really add to the game.

It was by far the most entertaining game report I've ever seen. The voice over is so nice!

Converting the video game to physical tabletop gaming is brilliant! It's shocking that Games Workshop never did this. Kudos for your initiative :)

Love these battle reports so much. Gives me so many ideas for running narrative campaign missions in my home group. Keep it up!

This is so cool. Dawn of war is such a cool way to play.

love this! For future stuff like this i think i might enjoy a short rundown overview of the board either at the beginning (although i do enjoy just swinging into action) or maybe at a few key moments in between when its important, just to have a better understand of where those command points are and more of a spacial feel overall, sometimes it gets confusing with the camera moeving around a lot - i know its a narrative campaign report and i love that! i think narrative is the way to play warhammer for me, but its still nice to kinda understand where everything is :D other then that - chefs kiss

Absolutely awesome to see. Dawn of War fan from day 1 of it coming out. Loved the battle report and look forward to more in future. Will be keen to see rules and future options for chaos.

Great job again. Really awesome and the enthusiasm bleeds through. Impressed that you keep swinging big.

Fantastic videos mate! The game looks really fun to play! As for what faction I'd like to see added that would be either Necrons or Thousand Sons since I've recently gotten into the hobby and currently setting up a Thousand Sons army.
