Imperial Guard VS Brood Coven - Narrative Warhammer 40k Kill Team Campaign-Game 1
Hi all,
So this is something completely different for me, I've wanted to add something to the channel and change up the content and so I thought i'd take a stab at a fully narrative, more immersive style kill team battle report.
As with the original battle reports i'd like feedback in order to make them as good as possible so please leave some feedback in terms of things that I should include or remove etc.
For example to make this type of game stand apart from the normal games i've created a narrative for the game, including story based scenes. Also although the game was played between 2 people and dice were rolled (some shockingly bad and others crazy good) these werent included in the game (might be sometihng i can bring back if people prefer/want to see more of these types of games) also tactics, whilst they are being played aren't highlighted as they are in the other games.
I'm still going to be doing the normal types of battle reports but I wanted to offer you guys something new.
Anyway if nothing more than a failed experiment i hope you get some enjoyment out of this :D.
Going to thank the guys over on Patreon discord server for the encouragement when pitched this to them, and actualy special thanks to coleslaw for the idea on the match up. Cheers guys
For those that want to support the channel I have the following way:
I have a tip jar: www.paypal.com...
And I do actually have a patreon, my videos get realeased early on here.

Dude, this was so good. Super engaging. I’d love to see the SGT prisoner come back as a member of the GSC or something 😂 The reinforcements took me by surprise! Didn’t see that coming at all. Loved all the homebrew rules you threw in. Great stuff. BTW, the voice acting for the sisters was top notch 👌 really immersive. Kudos, brother. Loved it.

Cheers man, I'm assuming other people probably don't read my response comments but I have a similar plan, if I can get an aborhant model I was going to try to bring sarg back as one of them and homebrew some rules for him. Yeah Emma nailed the voice over, she was playing as the guard/sisters team and I did feel bad killing off the sister superior, going to have to bring her back. It's TV no one ever really dies right?

Thanks man! Yeah Emma did a great job on the sisters. Haha I have no idea what accent I was doing but listening back I do hear a vague Welsh tinge, think I was channeling Richard Burton, was pure accident but of course now he will be Welsh in any future appearances
Ok, there were three distinct reactions I had during the course of the report: 1) oh man, things are looking grim for that last Guardsman, let's see if he can pull out of this one... 2) Yes! Yes! The sisters of battle are here! Kinda Deus ex feeling, but still awesome to-- wait, did I just hear the cultists mention salvation...? 3) OH SHIT! GENESTEALERS!!! GAME OVER, MAN! This was a great alternative battle report, would definitely like to see more of this style in the future!

This is immense! Obviously different from a conventional batrep, and i get the issue about not seeing the dice rolls and thereby ‘fixing’ the outcome, but you managed to create more tension here than i’ve seen in any other battle report, which i presume is the goal. Looking forward to what happens next.

Cheers man, I mean if you'd of seen Emma's face when I took out the sister superior..😬 if ever I was going to fix a result of would've been to let her live. I'm going to be paying for that for a while 😄. I really hoped that it would be tense like, I got worried in the first turn when everyone died, one of those games where someone rolls really hot and the other player really isn't. I might try to include dice rolls but do it subtly - rolling on green screen and overlaying them into the borders on the overhead so those not interested can ignore. It was the hardest choice for the game as a fan of battlereports I always want to see the dice rolls but on the other hand it takes away from the story.... Tricky but think I'll try it with them next time ....sorry you are the comment I read right after the coffee kicked in clearly. Thanks for watching man and your feedback, really appreciate it 👍

Cheers man, I think honestly the less narrative games get more views and tend to do better. VS a narrative campaign which in my eyes would be nicer to look back on as a 'creator'. Plus when every new episode releases the older vids tend to get a small resurgance - so perhaps in the long term they'll outlast the other videos. Also with their tendancy to focus less on the rules they should be impacted less by rules updates etc
