Hopefully in the near future there can be a Combat patrol box tournament since they are supposed to be 500 pts, the start collecting point values varied too much, and also Deathwatch or BA, SW can be included this time >< instead of half roster of chaos.

Now this is the content I have been dying to see. There's just something about this lads battle reports that make them just so enjoyable to sit back and watch.

Yeah, Battle Reports really are just so much more watchable with a tight edit. Really don't enjoy the rambly nature of most batrep formats.

This is a lot to think about.

I think it’s most likely because the uk has been in lockdown for 90 plus days.

We hope you enjoyed the game! Please don't post spoilers in the comments :) Did we mess up any rules? Well, we might have, we play games to have fun after all. Here's a few little mistakes and questions that people haven noticed so far: "You can't use a Command Re-roll for Morale tests!" You're right! You can only force an auto-pass with Insane Bravery for 2CP. Would it have changed the course of the game? Always a possibility. Were those "illegal" rolls entertaining though? YES! Don't forget to play for fun! "You called the Plaguebearers "Poxwalkers" sometimes. How do you plead?" GUILTY. "Disgustingly Resilient doesn't work like that anymore!" If this was Death Guard, you'd be right, but these Nurgle Daemons are using their 8th edition codex in this game, so we did it right. "... but you still can't use a Command Re-roll for Disgustingly Resilient saves!" You are correct, but I failed that one anyway, no harm done, I'm just an idiot ;) "You forgot about some "to hit/to wound" re-rolls" Yes. We did most of them, but when there are so many re-rolls, it's hard to keep track. Also, sometimes we did them in the game, but didn't narrate them. Toward the end, we stopped narrating all the minutiae of each roll to keep the pace of the video nice and tight.

This series is honestly such a refreshment from the normal battle reports on youtube. Nice and short, brilliantly concise and well spoken commentary. The best part about it is the noob friendly army sizes. If you haven't already found a guest to play Tau I'd be honored to do that for you. Thumbs up for another great vid Guy! Keep 'em coming :)

Gg. You made a few mistakes so let me point them out for future games. - the plague bearers cant "choose" to make a morale save unless they have lost a model this turn - they things a CP can be used to re-roll have been limited in 9th and dont include morale or attrition tests. - flying units cant fall back and act as normal on 9th. Fun game and great video guys!

Yay! Finally the Start Collecting battle continues, thank you very much Guy!! I'll continue to support you and hope the series continues too, probably the best entry-level battle report series on KZread for my newcomer friends! :)

Nurglings' unique version of disgustingly resilient ("squishable") was FAQ'd to not work against mortal wounds. So that turn 1 Smite from the Broodlord would have just done all three wounds.

@ajaxtaur

3 жыл бұрын

The FAQ didn't change anything. It just clarified it. Nurgling Disgustingly Resilient only works with *attacks* with a *damage characteristic* of 1. So it doesn't work against psychic powers, and while I'm not sure it came up in this video, it also wouldn't work on anything with random damage (even if you rolled a 1, since the *characteristic* is d3 or d6 or whatever)

Ant choosing to not reroll the 5+ fnp spell on his genestealers but then try and reroll one of their saves kills me.

Hey Guy! I love the Warhammer content you make-especially this series! You've inspired me to get involved with my local gaming community and start painting my first miniatures ever. With your tutorials I'll surely show up battle ready next month. Keep up the great work!

That was genuinely one of the best games I’ve seen in a while. Super tense! Well-played, Papa Nurgle will be pleased.

This is my favorite 40k series, ty for all the work that goes into it!

Really well done format, looking forward to the next game already!

Loving these battle reports, great intro music too!

God these battle reports are always so amazing. Well done mate.

This series is excellent! I hope you can get back to it soon! I find this better than some "how to play warhammer 40k" instructional videos because it puts all of the components together in an easy-to-digest context, shows how you might play with a common first purchase, and cuts out most of the banter that turns a 30min battle report into an hour. Looking forward to the next one!

seriously - your battlereports are by far the best battlereport format out there. And this tournament is even netter. Love the setting - Maybe I will build one myselfe one day :) Looking forward for the next battle since I just started drukhari and got myself one of the last statt collecting boxes! Have a nice weekend!

Love this content! Hope the rest of the tourney comes around soon

Please dont stop doing this they are amazing

Thanks for the match Guy! Looking forward to the next one!

liked it hours before it premiers, this has made my day MUCH better!

Guy, your batreps and this tournament are soooo much better than the alternatives. Something about the way you narrate and edit them without getting obnoxious makes them insanely easy and enjoyable yo watch. I know it must be rough with the lockdown right now, but I hope you get the proper battle reports going when things stabilize!

YES, IT’S BACK. -The reason I’ve been making combat patrol sized lists for months😂

Very glad that this series is restarting! I'm a big fan of the in depth army presentation and strategy talk at the start, I think it ads a lot and is great for 40k noobs such as myself

Another great fun start collecting box battle report! Cheers Guy, Ant and Penny

I love these little battles! It really helps me get a feel for how the game plays, in an easy-to-watch format! Its well put together, going through all the battle stages without the tangential chatter that drags out other battle reports. Two thumbs up! 👍 👍

It's a monster mash! Fantastic series all around, can't wait for the next installment!

Have you considered doing an age of sigmar collecting box tourney when the 40k start collecting tourney is over? Not only would it be interesting to see you get into sigmar, it would help us 40k fanboys see how the army’s play, as well as more awesome battle reports!

With only 2 of those plaguebearers left it was a waste casting miasma of pestilence. Wouldve been better to pump out some extra mortal wounds on the mawloc to get it off that objective. That being said this is some of the best battle report content on KZread, defo up there with play on tabletop. Keep it up man!

Love this tourney! Can’t wait till each episode ❤️❤️❤️

This was a very entertaining game, and it was a very close outcome. Can't wait to see more of them!

This is how battle reports are done. I also love seeing how the board gets more character after each encounter (blood spatter, evidence of explosions, etc.). I look forward to this series continuing!

I love these battle reports. I feel like 500 points is enough to make the video entertaining and just doing the voices separately from the video makes it so much better. It's awesome (also sorry for my english😁)
