hey broski, always enjoy the content. i was under the impression you cannot take Khorne & Tzeench in the same kill team, or Slaneesh & Nurgle in the same team (a throwback to the old rivalries between the chaos Gods). maybe you missed this, maybe the final version removed this rule.. cheers

@@GlassHalfDead oh nice. ya that is super weird, def contrary to the old lore. that makes the team a lot better though! i wonder if they did it for balance, rather than lore.. not sure MEQ will need any help "balancing". def an uphill battle being outnumbered 2:1 or more! thanks for the info, cheers from across the pond!

Really good to see folks experimenting with what batreps can be. Big fan of the chat at the end especially, I think it adds a lot to the overall experience.

Kind of like this format. A quick overview of what went on, and then a good discussion of the events. In many ways more interesting than just watching a full game.

I'll second that, I really like how it's going. I don't need to see every last action - this really helps.

LOVE this format! We don't need to watch dice all day. I wouldn't mind a super-quick, one-sentence overview of each activation (butcher charged demo man and killed him, gunner activates the objective and shoots at warrior, etc.), but I liked hearing reactions and follow up a lot. Good work trying to shake up the current trends of battle reports.

Wheyhey! Jason your famous bud! The two most famous 'I don't like hobby' people playing together. Excellent video. (It's Ollie btw)

Haha yo dude

Thanks very much for making the effort to show the new CSM. For me, I personally like more detail and longer batreps but maybe that’s just my own preference. I would have loved to have seen and heard about the individual CSM whilst fighting through. :)

Key dice rolls, pivotal failed saves, and opportune moments of scoring need to be highlighted and run normally, including the dice results. Otherwise, the conversation and analysis are great.

I think this would be my ideal format. I really like what Glass did here, as the format is very compact and holds my attention better than a bunch of whiffed dice rolls and first turn moving into position/playing with measuring devices- but having the key dice rolls and what not would be ideal.

Great to see a new format and the chat from a “guest player” (who can be a new player each time) and yourself is great. Keep on working on it, I think you’re onto something!

This was fun! I’m happy for a longer video. I’d be interested in much more of the local tactics. What plays are you making inside a turn and why.

really like the format! not too long, but also understand everything going on! I really like seeing some thought behind the moves being made too.

I am getting the inkling that parts of this video evaded expectations, yes xD (which I THINK I can fix in the next video)

I like the commentary and the insight that comes with it. I feel like showing gameplay and talking over certain situations after the filming would work well. Might make it easier from a production stand point (focus on filming and showing, then focusing on commentary after the filming). Anyway enough rambling from me, keep up making content.

Post-game discussion was the highlight here. Anyone can play a game and show what happend, but your experience about why it happened and what could be different is what makes this super unique and engaging content. I'm not opposed to the format itself. Nice to keep the action somewhat short and fit in a discussion all under 30 minues. I will agree with others that it was hard to tell what was going on. The camera on the laptop was poor quality and focused on coke bottles in the background, not the board. Getting better quality there and shwoing more of the board would help. Spending a couple minutes showing the board (with the laptop cam or overhead) and giving a solid overview of the results of the turn would be helpful. By solid overview I just mean general movements (highlighting every units move is unnecessary I think) and pointing out who controls and scored each point would go a long way to providing a better picture of the battle. Love the channel, hope this was helpful.

I've mentioned it elsewhere, but I agree that there were technical issues that need work. The potato cam was due to my real cam refusing to connect and felt it was better than no player cam at all. I'm adamantly against calling out every single movement, but from the way I've edited the footage in the next video, it seems that's what I'm doing, but we'll see what I do with the VO there.

Those objective markers look very nice, makes it easy to determine if you are in range. Are the custom made or can you buy them (or similar ones) somewhere ?

Actually really enjoy you are trying something different. It would have been nice If the camera was a bit slower, maybe having a camera show the dice rolls and taking some more time with the turning points. But honestly, I really like that you managed to compress It to just around 26 minutes and gave such focus to the discussion between turns and at the end.

@GlassHalfDead

Camera placement is my bad, my real camera didn't work so had to use a backup one (hence the potato). Likewise the talking cam should have showed the board. First attempts will always be rough, thanks for sticking through it. Next one is already recorded so the footage is locked in, but hopefully I can do something with the editing :)

Really enjoyed this video. I hope you do more and hopefully play against this opponent again too, he was knowledgeable and good on camera.

I liked the style of battle report you did in your vet guard vs space marines video from 5 months ago a lot more than this style. I suggest slowing down the over-the top camera to show which models shot, charged, attacked, etc, and the outcome. But with that said, I always like watching your battle reports, please dont stop making them.

Really enjoyable game @glasshalfdead, currently building my first few CSM to add to my team once the box drops, thier ability to potentially table a big team in a single turn is amazing to me

Thanks for the Batrep! As people said before, its cool to have a tighter recap, but key dice rolls (how did he killed 3 CSM, vice versa). Please keep up the good work, very entertaining

maybe a quick flash up of the minis themselves, captioned with what they are would be useful, both to show them off, plus to inform people who aren't familiar with the team(s)

Great Video! Just out of curiosity how long did this game take to complete ? and what sort of length of games does it take anybody in the comments? Reason I ask is because I've seen sources suggest games can be as little as 45 minutes .. but I reckon me and a friend are at like 30 - 45mins per round ha! We tend to use the octarius setup with the Vet Guardsmen and Ork Kommando's

Tournament rounds are 1:45, if that helps! You always get a few games that finish under an hour, and some that don't finish at all. If you're including set up time, I'd expect my game to be 2:30. But that's me chilling while I play and taking time over decisions.

Having read through the comments/your replies I think you are on the right track with what was good and what to change so I’m not gonna repeat it but just wanted to say keep up the good work love your stuff

Wonderful video, thanks a lot! But am I the only one for whom L/R audio tracks are flipped? (Noticeable in the beginning)

"It's just a game. Don't take it too seriously."

Love your channel and the ambition with this. In honesty I found it really hard to keep up with which models are going where, and why, with the top down - and side angle was too high above the board so didn’t see what was happening there… would maybe have a 45 degree aerial view so we can see which models are being moved. Playontabletop do these really well and might be a good format to apply xx

Really enjoyed the analysis. Dont be afraid of letting your BatReps be good and long. I like a good batrep and I'll watch a solid 90 minute video, no worries. I'm sure most other folks will too. Re: the Legionaries, I know most of their cool new units are melee but I think thats a bit of a trap. Maybe pick one or two guys to be a big melee push but you gotta invest in range, esp against a horde army. Taking plasma is a bit overkill into guard (you'll do what, 12-14 dmg against a 7 health model?) when you could take a heavy bolter and get malicious volleys... esp when you also get one 5+ crit? better odds on piercing trigger. Mutability and change lets you get a move, both shooting attacks and a dash off to keep them safe? And I know noone wants to take an icon bearer but it gives you a second Favored By The Dark Gods, which means a free 4+ invuln for your ranged operatives, making em a bit tougher should you leave them out. Also a second bolter for malicious volleys. All melee is just so hard to do, I'm not sure its the play. I think you just get picky about which 2-3 melee models you bring depending on the opponent/mission.

@fransaacs

2 жыл бұрын

Other than a heavy bolter and an icon barer with boltgun (why not? More malicious volleys) which other operatives would you favor for this kind of match-up? Vet guard is a popular choice atm.

@ChopsTV

2 жыл бұрын

@@fransaacs with the caveat that I play Deathwatch (and not chaos) into Vet guard but I do so fairly frequently... I get the most success out of 5 ranged operative and a melee sergeant to push. But thats with Deathwatch having access to Storm Bolters (relentless rules) and a storm shield . I think, looking at the Legionaries team, that you run Butcher (you get re-rolls so hitting on 4 aint too bad) and the anointed, with the Chosen as your leader then Heavy gunner w/ bolter, icon bearer, and acolyte. It's just one more ranged guy than Glass ran, but I think its worth it. 3 guys with a 4+ invuln! Pack the melee guys with as many grenades as you can afford. With malicious volleys, that gives you two more shooting attacks and potentially another overwatch per turn. The controversial(!) choice is replacing the anointed with a regular bolter warrior! The Anointed is just there to kill. But I cant imagine it gets more than 2 kills before it gets got. If you're playing on a map/mission where you think a bolter might take a few more bodies (or wound enough to set up more kills), choose that. It's a tough match up. Youre out activated, out APL'd, and out wounded from the jump. I dont think there's a "great" choice. Just a handful of good ones.

Yeah I like this style of battle report

As some others have said, with a little more model footage and the odd pivotal roll off, this format is excellent. Great analysis, felt I'd a better appreciation for the vet guard afterwards.

Analysis paralysis, I like it. Is there a name for when someone wastes 3 min shaking there dice blowing on them and praying to the dice gods?

Nice try with the new format. Imo there is no reason for side cameras at all, I'd rather watch the top-down view all the time even during discussions. Its easier to follow stuff, also a bit slower video speed during movements with basic narration would help too. I liked the strategic explanation of the tac op selection in the beginning. Keep up the good work, thanks for the content :)

I disagree with the no player cam, I think that's KEY. However, being able to see where we are pointing when we're discussing is also key but something I didn't do here. And as I noted elsewhere, the speed this was played at essentially made the top down useless, so that needs to be changed, agreed.

Big fan of the speedy reports and commentary. I hate batreps where 90% of the footage is just the dice tray. I do like seeing the models and what their actions are though. So something in between this and a traditional Batrep? Just a fast action report like 'Operative X tried to do Y. He dealt Z wounds.'

I like the commentary, but when commenting it'd be better if camera actually showed the board. Also, key actions should be shown I believe. It's hard to track what's happening in the board and the commentary is rather detached from actual situation in the board
