Great video as usual, one massive improvement though would be to show the unit you are introducing
Why didn‘t he charge his lance in at the end? 😅 In a tournament I can understand wanting to preserve the points, but in a casual funsies game, why not fight? Were you just short on time at the end?
We play each other often enough so that there’s no pressure to play a certain way.. we were warming up for an event so perhaps he had that in mind
Frontiers axe is 2 handed but does not have strike last. 2 handed means you cant use shield with it.
These are some of the best battle reports going around. Long enough to get meaty, but still consumable. Really great work.
Cheers man, glad you like it
On your left hand side around 16mins in your goblin wolf chariot would not have been able to charge since chariots treat low low linear obsracles as impassable terrain.
Yes, well spotted. We played that wrong.
10:50 Ouch, that was rough.
I haven’t tired the wolf chariots yet in nomadic whaaagh yet. I would also on interested to see your thoughts on the back orc chariots. Losing warband is definitely a downside. But 4 strength 6 AP 3 attacks from the black orcs goes well with the impact hits on the charge.
Black Orc chariots are strong, especially with all the chariot runners on the list. Their biggest weaknesses IMO: 1) Low wound density for points, so very weak to screams 2) No swiftstride, no warband, makes these slower than the rest of army. Personally like them as a character mount. Really good armor, high wounds, add a defensive item and a great weapon and you have a blender lord who ignores killing blow and monster slayer.
@@avocadoarmadillo7031 do you recon black orc chariots don’t have much more damage output than a regular orc chariot then. Working on my first list so I am trying to decide if they are worth taking.
I think they're solid but a bit overcosted.. same price as a wyvern. They hit hard on the charge, but without swiftstride and warband they are less likely to get that charge. I think personally I just prefer more units overall. It is roughly 3 orc chariots (or 5 goblin chariots) for the price of 2 black orc chariots. More high strength attacks is always nice though..
👍👍
Are you allowed to use the Big Uns upgrade on the boars aswell in the tournament?
As I understand it, Split Profile means that any rule applied to the Model actually applies to both models, unless the Rule specifically says that only one model on the split profile is affected. Edit: The direct answer to your question is “Yes, since that’s what the rules say to do.”
@@jaydub1112Sorry, this sounds confrontational, but it's a genuine question; Who are you? The author of the video or the tournament organizer? Your are absolutely right that it is RAW what the rule says, at least for now. I just highly doubt that is the intention with regards to previous editions.
Nope, I’m just a subscriber to the channel ;) no confrontation implied or detected. As I’m not the video author or the TO, it’s a valid question that I admittedly can’t answer. It’s just a bit of funky rule interaction jank that I enjoy. Perhaps it would have been better to keep my nose out of it 😅
@@jaydub1112 No worries. I'm just curious about if tournaments allow this.
Yes, those are the rules! Contrary to previous editions of course..
Its a Giant party
Great batrep without having seen the troll horde in action I assumed the nomadic waagh was going to be toast. Actually looked like a great battle.
O yea two fast close combat armies with no shooting is always carnage
Troll hags are point graves, having two is a flex or a bad decision XD
Not easy to kill though…
I am fearful that that mechanic of placing two units on top of each other, thus obliging a charger to charge both. That's a very significant discovery in my view, I'd not thought of that before. But this has all sorts of deeply corrupt implications. E.g. Duke and Green Knight place on top of each other to ensure incoming foe has to do multi charge. Double dragons land perpendicular to oblige charge on both. This makes powerful heroes even better as they can place next to vulnerable targets to ensure that if they are charged, they join in. On the charge rule there is of course no option to move further to ensure contact with only one target rather than two standing on top of each other. It simply has to be closest route, and if that brings target into double contact, then so far as I can tell that does indeed oblige a double charge. The abolition of the 1 inch rule for final unit place was absolute folly in my view and we are only beginning to understand its perverse implications.
It won't always work, for example if a unit is wheeling to make a charge and runs out of movement to maximise. Or if the base size is smaller (so a hero on a 40mm or smaller base might not have to charge both giants)
Yes the only reason you can wheel is to bring more models into base to base. I don’t think it should be played like that personally as if there was an obstacle (or enemy unit) which was partially in the way you would wheel around it to charge your target. It’s one of those things that is too niche to be faqd and won’t come up for most people.
@@d6wounds I think it's potentially a very big discovery because the most competitive players will deliberately play for it once they realise it. Two characters together, or a monster and a character, will be able to mutually defend each other by placing beside each other. Certainly my Monster slayer Duke is very interested in this, and has announced he will be landing in precisely these places!
@@DrBlaxill Off topic, but have you seen the Chaos release? I think we briefly discussed before what we didn't really want to see and as it turns out there doesn't appear to be anything to worry those of us with our old-fashioned collectors' hats on. At least not so far...
@@ClydeMillerWynant Yes I observed this- no rereleases of the old champions of chaos! In fact, rather a damp squib model wise- nothing new whatsoever, and also nothing old! I hope we see skullcrushers supported in the AJ, but that seems unlikely from what they've said. However it is intriguing they are delving into Storm of Magic and Monstrous Arcanum to fish out Giant Chaos Spawn, Warpfire Dragon, and maybe Skin Wolves. More monster focus I suspect... I think Chaos could really do with a change up, there are certain things which are so much better than other things in the existing list that the games are getting dull (forsaken, dragon ogres, dog lines, and heroes are the entirety of what I am fielding competitively- and it's getting boring...!)
Nice battle report. During overruns, pursues and flee, you are not flying in this edition. Unless they FAQ it you cannot go over a unit. either way you didn’t clear it.
Have you got the rule reference for that? We looked through flying, overrun, pursuit etc and couldn't see anything to stop it!
Cheers man. Do you have a page reference for that?
Very good batrep. I'm 100% stealing this list, looks like lots of fun. Have you considered bunching the wolf chariots together into a unit? I can't say I've run them, but it seems like it's not a very strong unit to be left on its own.
Thanks. The advantage of having the chariots separate is so they can be used as throwaway chaff. They also don’t panic each other as they are unit strength 3. If they were in one unit and one dies to shooting then the others would run away.
Really good report as ever, you do an excellent job of explaining what you're trying to do, mistakes you've made etc. I won't tire of seeing the Boarboyz, but it would be great if you do manage to show us some Dwarf stuff too! Would it be unfair to suggest that the Wyvern maybe got you out of jail a bit in this game? Think with only a small amount of assistance he accounted for two giants, Oggdruz and a unit of trolls. Felt like he made up for things going a bit wrong elsewhere and a fair chunk of his success involved a fight you didn't really seem to want to put him in.
Thank you. O yes the warboss with ogre blade was definitely the mvp. Every list needs something with multi wound capability, in my opinion, to deal with monstrous units. The dwarfs are work in progress. I’m not sure how I want to play them in OW yet!
It was a fun game! Forgive the partial paint -much progress has been made since then
wait, how come there is an army of only trolls???
Yes, it's in the orc arcane journal
@@samgibbs8194 ooh I see. It is an old world game mode or something? Did it exist back in 8th edtion??
@@pabloalonsolasagabaster658 Its Old World. In 8th Chaos Warriors can take trolls as core if they use Throgg the troll king so thats probably the closest!
@@samgibbs8194 thanks!!!
@@pabloalonsolasagabaster658 Both armies in this game come from lists in what's called an 'Arcane Journal'. It's a bit like an old WFB army book, but because you've already got the main 'Grand Army' list in a separate book (Ravening Hordes which has the main lists for all the 'evil' factions) the lists in it are sort of specialist ones. Each faction gets two in it's Arcane Journal though not all of them have been released yet by any means. The stars perhaps aligned a bit for one of the Orc and Goblin ones to be a troll army. Old World is based around old models and some that have definitely stood the test of time and lots of people would be keen to buy are the old Stone and River Trolls. The Troll Hag is of course more recent but was also something most people probably wouldn't have so an easy sell. The main Orc and Goblin list also gives so much choice (arguably it maybe isn't restrictive enough) that some more obvious things like a Night Goblin army can be done from that anyway. As you can see from this battle the lists do look to be quite a lot of fun. The main list is good too, perhaps the only downside of them viewed as a whole is that there's very little incentive for anyone to run any standard Orcs or Goblins other than Boarboyz, Chariots and maybe War Machines.
I was hoping the tournament scene would be less competitive for TOW. *OLDMANRAMBLING* Back in MY days, 6th Edition Fantasy that is, and with little to no access to competetive meta data, most people were just playing what minis they had or liked or came up with fun lists they thought were strong. Tournaments basically were just a series of games you would have had in a store with a buddy. Sure, there were always overly competitive people, cheaters , rule lawyers etc., but for the most part, people were just wanting to have fun. The most "broken" list I have seen back then was a high elf army that exclusively was made up of silver helmets XD
You sound like you would appreciate our podcast called The Spirit of the Game (look back through my videos)
Excellent report. Subscribed. Hoping to see these very often from you
Cheers, glad you like it 🤙
Great battle. Nice tactical knowledge abs ability to relay it
I like the intro, and have a lot of love for O&G's armies of infamy. They're pretty dope in this set :) Great looking nomadic Waaaagh. Really fund dashing around the map and being a menace, and IMO boar boys are the best heavy cavalry (AKA the best unit?) in the game.
Cheers! Yes I agree boar boyz best cav in the game for their points.
So many nice models in them armies, dey propa green, the orc shaman on wyvern is one my fave models and i still have my made to order to paint up one day
The reason I'm playing Fantasy now, despite it always being my favourite game, is because I had just turned 17 or 18 when AoS launched, so I didn't have a crowd, I didn't have much mobility, and so I wanted to play warhammer, so to get people into it, I couldn't afford there to be a big barrier to entry, and i only had one army. Now I'm getting multiple Old World armies to make sure that if it does die, I'll have the forces to enjoy with my friends.
Cool report. 👍
That you very much for your lovely content!! Please tell me what this battlefield mat is exactly. Please keep on going your fantastic channel. Best wishes to you!
Thanks buddy, it was my friends battle mat but so not sure where it’s from..
When the brettonian duke failed charge on fleeing chariot he should have still moved his full distance and thus been well past the boar boyz no? If a charge doesnt connect cause target flees its not a "fail" and it goes in full.
The Duke then redirected his charge into the wyvern who chose to hold. So it was a failed charge in the end. Sorry if that wasn’t clear in video!
39:26 a wild Luke Blaxill sighting??
Great batrep!
You pitched the level of detail just right for me: enough detail to explain what happened, with the reasoning behind what you did (and where this was a mistake). Its the sort of battle report that I can learn something from.
Cheers, glad you like it
Any thoughts on Kiknik with a close order blob of ambushers? I’ve heard their mobility makes them great backline hunters.
Yea they’re not bad. The ambush is more reliable and kiknik has a decent output and he’s ld8. It’s just a lot of points for a unit that will probably die if it gets charged. Let me know how it goes if you use him..
@@d6wounds will do, thanks! I’m trying to get some skirmish games going, but USA doesn’t have the same tournament scene as I’ve spotted on UA-cam
Спасибо за потрясающий обзор ! очень интересно смотреть на расписки армий других игроков и пытаться понять их стратегию.

Congratulations on the good placement in the turnement. And cool, good looking army! I don't think it's legal to have the Bedazzling helmet on Orc on Wyvern since it becomes troop type monster.

@@d6wounds cheers! Lovely army!
Thanks:)
Putting the clowy green amulet on a nonwizard doesnt work. Only a wizard can use its ability to exchange a wizardly dispel attempt for the ability...
Hmm nah I think it would be an arcane item if it were meant for Wizards only. I think that bit of the sentence just means you can’t use a wizardly dispel and use the green amulet on the same spell.
@simoneengelleitner947: Rules said: "If the bearer (and any unit they have joined) is the target of an enemy spell, they may use the Glowy Green Amulet instead of making a Wizardly dispell attempt....". For me the bearer is not doing a wizardly dispell attempt, so it should work. But maybe it was clarified in a FAQ. Greetings:)
It works as is. No faq or wizard bearer required.
Lovely overview, thanks for sharing! I would be very interested in an overall coverage of what armies do well, which don't, and for what reasons. Also: what is TOW in general doing really well, and what does not work out in your opinion?
Thanks buddy, I hope to do a podcast soon...
Well done, I like the list. I do like the larger Orc Boar Boyz unit, if I were on the opposite end of the table I would always take extra care on how to encounter them. Thanks for posting the reports.
Thanks

Hey! Very nice game!! I’m curious at 28:00 min if your opponent chose to charge with only bsb and near unit of realm knight, you could decide to flee? It could be the better option in your opinion?:)
This Nomadic Waaagh army gave me heavy flashbacks to that massive battle report they had in WD in the late 90s - five digits worth of points on both sides, Empire against O&G, one of the O&G armies being more or less exactly what a Nomadic Waaagh list would be for TOW. Oh and also thank you for an amazing battle report, well done! :D
Yes, white dwarf 221 I believe? It's an epic battle report indeed!
I disagree that 8th works as a competitive game. The base game rules are good, but magic was completely broken, and army building was a complete mess. It’s always left out of these conversations that to even make 8th edition playable in a tournament setting required a massive amount of tried and tested comp. nothing about 8th edition in its original form is suitable for tournament play. There is no reason that ToW can’t get that same comp. I also expect that we will soon get a points rebalance. They did mention they would be doing so. If they do that once a year, maybe rework the rules with a generals handbook style update, I think we’ll see far more improvement over time than we ever saw in previous editions of Warhammer Fantasy. And none of that gets into the other financial and marketing issues caused by 8th ed rule set. They made a floundering game (because of a decade of mismanagement) that required far too high of an investment that was incredibly slow to update. The cost to build an 8th edition force was astronomical because of huge infantry numbers
I agree with you about the comp. 8th was never balanced even with the comp system. I too expect GW to further balance OW. Some things need balancing, like dragons, maybe the vampire screams. They have already done so a little with fanatics for example. That said I still believe the 8th ruleset is superior. The only truly broken thing about the game was Purple Sun and the death magic lore attribute.
Good game! Very tactical..
Beautie orcs
That's one gorgeous old-school army, the bases in oldhammer style are a huge bonus in my book as well. Awesome report & armies!
🙌
Somewhat baffled the Bretonnian player did not miasma the Boar Boyz again. The wyvern might be dangerous but can only threaten one unit at a time. Those impact hits however...
..the boar boyz were within the minimum range to counter charge the knights. In the end I was saved by the other unit of knights that were further away!
Cool battle report, was enjoying to watch! Minor rules correction. On Orcs turn three you said you rallied your shaman and were able to cast Hexes and what not. That shouldn't be possible as rallying is after conjuration sub-phase. So in a turn where a wizard rallies, that sub-phase has already been passed.
Yes this is true. However in this battle the warboss used his rallying cry special rule to rally the shaman at the start of turn phase. 🤙
@@d6wounds Right, that works :)
