I like that lol

Out of all the editions of WHFB 4th and 5th are my favourites. Ioved the magic cards made magic interesting - so many memories 😊

Hell yeah! About time someone recreated the definitive campaigns of Warhammer.

Love this Josh! Very cinematic, gorgeous armies and a story well told! Best battle report I've seen in a good long time! Looking forward to the rest of the series. This must have taken forever to make, but the effort was really worth it.

I really enjoyed this one, guys! Thanks for putting in the work. Looking forward to the next one.

What a lovely old-fashioned table with lovely painted models.

Love the intro Joshua! Great stuff man, and absolutely loving the style of this battle report.

This might be one of the best Warhammer Fantasy Battle reprts ever created. I don't state this lightly. From Owen's amazing narrative to the background music, and sharp video and turn by turn terse narrative. Just amazing work, Joshua! Paul seems like a pretty fierce opponent, but also, the High Elves seem to have their back to the wall vs Dark Elves using 5th ed rules. As Borat might say, " Nice, very, very Nice!"

Sooo nice to see some proper Warhammer being played. 3rd and 4th edition were my Fav.

I play 3rd! It works fine so why play anything else! :D

What a great looking game. I always really liked the High Elf vs Dark Elf rivalry in Warhammer Fantasy

Two truly fantastic armies Josh ! the 90s aesthetic showcased in their well deserved glory :)

This! Is the way to do it! Stellar presentation, thanks to beautifully painted miniatures and great scenery. We need more of this! Good luck in the ongoing campaign! When I played it, I won all 3 scenarios with my High Elves before the final battle, but lost the big finale. It can go either way, no matter if the outlook from the first three games is rather grim or if you have all the advantages on your side!

At last! I've been waiting on your rematch with Paul since the first one. Great to see it. I can't wait to try this one out for myself once I get my High Elves painted up. Some thoughts: 1.) Hatred is so powerful in 5th. Getting to take your break test on an unmodified 10 makes even weak units nigh impossible to break. Paul's tactic of sacrificing some spearmen to tie up your High Elf chariot and Silver Helms for several turns was genius - and wonderfully Dark Elfish. Your Shadow Warriors played a similar role in stalling Mortharor and the Corsairs. Perhaps with a few more, they might have held out a turn longer. 2.) I wonder if, perhaps, the best chance for the High Elves in this one is to try and take out the hydra or Cold Ones with a charge from the chariot. The scythed wheels and impact hits probably give the best chance to overcome either the high toughness of the hydra or high armor of the Cold Ones. 3.) Relatedly, I wonder what would happen if Kelendar charged the Corsairs head on and called out Mortharor to a challenge in single combat. All told, great show! Thanks for putting this together for us.

Thats an excellent report! I feel you really found a great format here. And the true elves won! The High elves are not so high and mighty now are they! ;)

Very cool. Those armies perfectly encapsulate the 90s! Cold ones don't need to test for stupidity after they kill something btw and don't have frenzy (sadly).

I don't know if the blur effect is from the camera or editing, but it makes the video unwatchable.

Sorry about that and no more blur effect from that video onwards. I appreciate your honest feedback

Does anyone else get the impression GW doesn’t want its release of The Old World to succeed? Many of the models are re released old models from 1996 onwards and the new models were not produced to sell on release, only pre order. So, no new models to look at in the shops, no user reviews because no one can get their hands on one without committing money before knowing exactly what you are buying. The display kits for box art were very badly painted, as in extremely poorly painted. I’m so disappointed ☹️ 😢 I was looking forward to a complete makeover of the Empire, High Elves, Bretonia and of course the Dwarfs. Such a lack lustre effort is shameful. Rant over. Great video that only makes me hanker for the old days even more 😢👍♥️🇬🇧

I think they went in for a "safe" release and tried to manage expectations, but the demand is higher than they anticipated and recently one of the managers of the project announced that "the scope has grown", although we dont really know what this means yet and he also said that they are currently focused on the planned releases which is a lot of stuff to release within a year.
