By far, the most entertaining bat rep I have seen for TOW. Two thematic armies and two very entertaining generals. Bravo!

“I don’t really know what’s happening, but I’m excited” - Bard. Sums up my life really

Val: Hi, I'm Val Hefelfinger! Me: Oooo, visitor's curse! Get used to rolling lots of 1s! Val: I'm playing The Bard! Me: Oh. Could go either way, then.

Love love love the Old World. I wish that I wasn’t so busy today, I’d watch the whole thing in one sitting. One thing that I noticed; when the gyrocopter fled the charge, the troll chargers will still do a charge roll, and they have to move their full charge distance at the gyrocopter. Unless they chose to and can redirect.

And most likely they would have caught the gyro and killed it

Best one yet, love the energy and ethos of trying for a fun game over pure competitiveness. Keep it coming please!

So good to see Val and the old world! Don't forget the resolute on the stunties. - 1 to pursuit etc.

Val, you made this a special night for me. Squarebased FTW, glory to TT!

Bard feeling a great responsibility to keeping the older than he is dwarves safe and in fighting shape is very thematic. Ancestors are watching 👀 😳 😅

That troll general was the best most entertaining man you have had in your channel, ever! And he took is shitty hit rolls like an absolut champ :)

How do you figure? The views have had a steep drop every video so far.

I really enjoy these twos chemistry!

When your opponent chooses flee you dont make a pursuit move, you make a charge move. You would have squished a copter there

Awesome, at last the Square Based representation we've been waiting for! I have the impression the dwarves resolute rule was missed a few times: -1 to all flee and pursuit moves. Those boys don't move so fast.

Thanks for the middle of the night upload so I have something to watch before I try to sleep again.

We finally found somebody who can match the Bard for absurdly bad luck.

What a battle! The dice gods certainly were fickle! I’m guessing the dwarf list being a little more optimised to fight trolls was to account for Val’s storied history with warhammer fantasy. Would be interesting to see some more “scenario” based battles for fantasy. Ambushes, last stands, hold the bridge… etc. Great stuff team

@valheffelfinger6521

I think it was more to account for Trolls potentially rolling right through the poor dwarfs unopposed. We tweaked a few things and I think we kinda nailed the balance for the purposes of a battlereport anyway. Also doesn't help that I'm not exactly gods gift to warhammer, despite my enthusiasm haha

@@valheffelfinger6521 ahh thanks for the context. I didn’t realise that was a legit concern with TrollvDwarf. Trolls have a lot of advantages… but seemed pretty balanced with negatives. But thats just on paper. Need to play more! I’m currently getting a troll hoard together. When i was a kid i’d have my grubby nose pressed up against the glass of the local hobby store… OBSESSED with those old river troll models. So finally i’ll have an army of them. Anyway. Cracking content team! Thanks

@valheffelfinger6521

Ай бұрын

@jimirowe7006 yeaaaahhhhh. For example had we not had flaming on the cannons I'd have saved over half of all the Cannon ball shots (5+ rerolling). Had there been great weapons on the Trolls they'd have wounded on 2s vs everything... and had I screened the giants with trolls (which I would have in a competitive situation) the giants would gave essentially been untargetable (can't see the spot to land beyond the Trolls, and can't bounce a cannonball through monsters.) It was actually a pretty amazing collaborative effort off camera. And probably the most genuinely "narrative" driven game I've ever played (in the sense that we played together to make an entertaining game first and foremost). Definitely a great vibe on set!

I don’t play old world, or aos but after visiting Warhammer world and seeing games like these, ( and also the incredible painting is part of this but) damn the sculpts are nice!

Poor Smalls. He tried his best.

Val H is my spirit animal in mamajama pajamas!

Bard spinning around miming the great weapons.. 3 camera shots later still swinging. That got me.

I dont know why but those dwarf warrior models has so god damn much charm to them =D

Dwalin must have aimed that first cannonball. "Aim fer his jambags!"

Fun report! My biggest critique though would be it seemed like the dwarf army was heavily tailored to fight trolls which (just my opinion) is less exciting than a rounded army

@15:45 you can see the bonegrinder as its a large target, everybody can see it over other bases

the cannon aims at a spot in the ground rather than a model, so the dwarven unit does block line of sight here.

dodging vomit is definitely a good skill in university

Bard "Some of these models may be older than I am" Me sees blacklining painting style "Yup" then I realise I'm old enough that I bought them first time round.....

Man its all gifts of santa for dawi. Total war warhammer also getting dwarf dlc. So cool to see them on tabletop!

Val is an awesome Guy ^^ Having him paired with Bard was the setup one needs for great laughts, funtimes and all manners of silly things... also... MOTHER!!! ^^

Really enjoyed this. Both players were really fun and sporting.

Fantastic looking armies, can't beat some Dwarf on Orc action.

Super fun game. I was already thinking about troll hordes. This is actually selling me on them.

By Grungi, it's finally happening

Great match, team. Very ….entertaining. 😉😂

Great batrep guys !!! Thank you :) I noticed that often in your channels, you tend to take very few characters, usualy 2 or 3. Is that what the meta looks like, or is it a choice. Personnally I love my heroes, and I wonder if you are shooting yourself in the foot going for fun heroes instead of more meat.

I am happy to see The Old World on this channel. 😀

Great game as usual. Quick question. What battle mat are you using? Thank you.

Keep that TOW content coming! 🤩

Awesome to see the Dawi on the tabletop again picking up grudges. Are you guys still looking for old Old World models?

Yes... YES! TOW sweet goodness! I need more TOW BPs!

When you redress ranks (or have the Drilled rules), can the Command Group be repositioned in the centre of the fighting rank like in any other manoeuvre or you must redress around it?

Ahhh the Bard James is my Boi😂

Just started But what lovely painted models on both sides.

Can we get a Skaven Vs. Empire and Dark Vs. High Elfs

6:44 Going in the book for that one

Awesome batrep! One question though, does the "Slayer" special rule don't apply to the "deathblow" rule?

Was that a Gotrek Gurnison model in the troll slayers? If so epic!

Thanks for showing me more of my man crush. (val)

Great game

Such a good game!

Hell yeah!

@19:17 When the Charge target Flees you can only follow through with the Charge or redirect, you cant restrain. If you do continue the Charge it is still a full charge move so Charging units move their Movement plus Charge roll (high die) EVEN IF THEY DON'T CATCH the fleeing unit. Fleeing when your unit is 1" away is almost never a good idea as the 2d6 or even 3d6 you move is rarely more than the Charging unit's Move + charge roll.
