Warmachine MK4 Batrep
Ойындар
Things have been pretty hectic in my work & personal life the past 6 months or so and unfortunately haven't slowed down. So, apologies once again for having a couple of months between our last Warcaster batrep and this one.
I've been working on making more steps forward in my production with this video including new custom visual effects, creating faction-specific dice for each army, and more. I've also taken to heart comments on previous videos about the audio editing / volume of the vocals vs the volume of the sound effects. Hopefully, I've gotten that aspect improved to where it needs to be, but if not, I'm willing to keep working to improve where I can.
Thanks to Tried & True / Delaware Warmachine for gifting a challenge coin to us. We use it as our first player marker. @triedtrue1221
As usual, this batrep features the MK4 measuring / widgets that we bought from Monstrous Makings. www.monstrousmakings.co.uk
Scenic Steamroller variant: disgruntledwargamer.com/sceni...
The Scenic Steamroller variant calls for d3+3 pieces of terrain to be scoring pieces. However, Donna & I found that in smaller point games, that can make scenarios VERY live. We spoke to Thomas & got his blessing to use d3 terrain pieces when playing small games (30 & 50 pt MK4).
Most sound effects and visual effects created by me using Adobe After Effects. Some sound Effects from: Pixabay

Thank you!
Always a great time watching your Battle Reports. A lot more Lore and Action in your battles than most. Please keep up the good work.
It's good to see Fred the Razorworm again. It just rolls off the tongue.
Maaaan the polish on your videos is so good! It's always a great surprise to see these show up in my feed
Excellent battle report! Love your effects and narrative style ❤️

Thank you! I know it’s not the typical batrep style most people prefer, but my wife & I love getting into the “story” of the game as it plays out on the table & we try to recreate that in our videos.
Fantastic as always! The story runs rich in your batreps. Although Hakaar has Ghost shield, it wouldn't have been enough to save him from Tarter Sauce's wallop. Can't wait for the next one!

Good call. Thanks for catching that. We did miss it when we played, but the total damage rolled was 16 (6, 6, 3, 1). So, it still would have done 10 damage and been enough to take Hakaar out with the 2 souls (Ghost Shield) that he had on him. I had to go back & recheck the math to be sure. If I'm still wrong or missing something, please let me know: Tartarus' Rivener = POW 12 Tartarus' Dark Shroud = -2 ARM for Hakaar Hakaar's ARM = 18 Hakaar's Ghost Shield (2 Souls) = +2 ARM POW 12 vs ARM 18 = -6 with Dark Shroud & Ghost Shield (2 Souls) canceling each other out at -2 ARM vs +2 ARM So even if he was undamaged before (which I believe he should have been if we'd have remembered Ghost Shield when Hellslinger shot him), the 16 damage rolled vs Dice -6 would have been 10 damage and just enough to destroy him.
Great game! Always happy to see Cryx.
Huzzah,, who would have thought that the undead would be hard to kill. The effects are just so wonderful. Thank you, Thank you..

Thank you! I tried some new things to push the production value a bit more in this one.
Have to say just found your channel and absolutely love it. Been down on mk4 but this channel is rekindling my love for the game. Thank you for the wonderful batreps. Keep up the good work!

Best battle rep I've seen in a long while. Extra points for Skorne! Double extra points for Skorne victory! Keep up the good work

I’m glad to hear the chicken sound effect wasn’t lost on anyone. That was one of my happiest moments when I thought to do it
This is of such amazing quality, and the subdued narration is perfect for laying in bed and listening too!

Thank you! I really tried to focus the narration on a more flavorful version - letting the visuals tell the details in the story
It's happening!!!
Good stuff! I hope you are able to release monthly like you're wanting to. A small mistake I noticed around 31:21 is that the bane warriors were not getting their weapon master dice.

Yeah. I've only played Banes a handful of times & I'm awful at forgetting they're weapon masters so far.
Wow! so cool!
awesome! Excellent video and sound effects!

Awesome video, beautiful minis, great production value. Keep up the good work. That said, please please stop boosting attack rolls when you hit on a 6+ (or easier), you should rather invest your resources elsewhere.
I really enjoyed watching this vid! I'm just getting back into Warmachine so I'm just relearning the rules. When Gorshade went for his assassination run, is there a reason why he went for boasting hit and damage rolls instead of just making 8 attacks?

Honestly, I think it was just that some bad rolls before got into my head and had me worried that if I didn't boost, it'd be much worse. Unfortunately, even with boosting she had enough boxes open on a couple beasts to transfer the damage to & keep Hexeris alive.

Thank you for the reply! I wasn't sure if there was a rules reason. In the heat of battle, we always have to do what feels right. Please keep up the great Cryx content!!
Pretty good bat rep. I love skorne but the skronergy put excess unnecessary mental load back when I used to play. How are they now?

I mostly play Orgoth these days, but when I do break out my Skorne, I do pretty good. I like to focus on Exalted and all the funky things I can pull off between Abidan, Hakaar, Hexeris, etc
Love when bat reps concentrate on the minis and not the dice rolls. Folks spend many hours painting, and are lost on a bad camera angle.
Bloat thralls are even more horrifying if you've read Gyo. The whole "scurry up the side of the building" thing is...I don't want to say realistic but urgh...
