@@fedaykincommando3252 we were using the 2017 codex for this game :)
I've not played 8th, so I don't know how dumb this question is, but doesn't the Captain get to use his "re-roll ones" ability on himself?
at 24:05 when the immortals piled into the intercessors, not all of them were able to move towards the intercessors. 1 or 2 were closer to the captain, making the captain the closest enemy model. If you choose to move a model during pile in, it must end it's move closer to the nearest enemy model. Great battle report folks.
The Canoptek Wraiths cannot actually ignore vertical distance, in the movement phase they can move horizontally through solid objects but for their first movement they would have had measure the move down the crates and up the building. And for the charge phase they would also need to measure the distance up the building. And even if they had fly which ignores vertical in the movement phase they need to count vertical in the charge phase. The clarification on this is from the most recent faq and errata. Also for reanimation you cannot roll for models that fled due to moral, so for that last turn you could only roll 5 dice on the immortals. Very nice presentation on the batrep though, looking forward to the next!
Thank god for small battle reports. I can actually get through them.
Haha, thanks Ben. Yeah, I struggle with the big ones too.
This. I have a pretty good attention span, but most batreps are simply boring - no editing, unnecessary visual clutter. This is much better.
100% true i love small scale battles coz I can easily focus on action. Keep it going boiz
All of you should check out the channel Play on Table Top, and their bat rep series 40kin30minutes ua-cam.com/channels/J4-WFTrDNWvcM7dEC6E2mw.html
Same
I love the way you guys did this batrep. Great work. nice and easy to follow. I really liked the fact that you stated "need 3s this time, strength 5 vs toughness 4" etc. Most batreps don't cover the simplest of things like that very very well done.
Yeah, I just remember all the things I wanted to hear when I was re-learning in 7th edition, and put them in :)
Totally agree, this batrep got so much right that other dont
Totally agree! I love the lore but I’ve never played tabletop. You make it fun and easy for even me to follow!
@@Ajehy
Try it! Get like a recruit edition and play! It’s totally awesome, I started very recently
@@tjb_6203 I would but I’m a substitute teacher trying to become an author. When choosing between minis and gas/food/toiletries, I just can’t justify the price.
Penny's sassy comment was pretty good hahhah
She's a sass monster!
Can I just say, your videos have single-handedly pushed my interest in 40k, both playing, and painting, from a passing interest in the lore alone, to buying my first set of brushes, getting Blackstone Fortress with a friend (following your speedpainting series religiously, haha) and also seriously considering slowly starting a small army. Thank you for being so informative, and mainly for allowing ease of access.
The biggest obstacle I had ever had with getting interested was the notion of "if you don't already know, you never will". I would constantly be snubbed by members of the community for not knowing anything whenever I expressed interest. I had no idea what any of the terminology meant, and had no clue what to do with the meagre amount of info I had.
Thank you for introducing me to what this community has to offer, and for stoking the fires of passion in me.
Love ya, dude.
#nohomo #allthehomo
Conor! That's one of the nicest comments I've ever received! So glad you've found our videos useful. I've been in the hobby since I was 9(!), but I can still remember the pain of learning everything from scratch. Just take it step by step, find a couple of people who are new, or new-ish to the hobby as well, and try to learn together. It honestly doesn't matter if you don't play the rules exactly as written, just have fun! It's so, so much easier to start off with just 1 squad vs 1 squad, and building from there. Good luck my dude! #homosapien
If you haven't bought your armies yet, you can buy Tabletop Simulator for 20$ *base price* and download free Workshop mods for armies, and play around with them to see which ones you like. It's how i'm getting into the game, it's a nice alternative to spending hundreds of dollars on models, rule books and terrain without even knowing if I like the game.
@@MidwinterMinis i would like to point out that captains allow to re-roll hit rolls of 1s for shooting and close combat and the rule does apply to himself.
Anthony Smith I hadn’t thought of that, nice suggestion
same here - havent touched a brush in +10 years but currently debating on where to start. thanks midwinter!
My mom: Your room is so messy
Me: *taking cover behind soda cans*
Love seeing more casual battle reports with a bit of narrative flavor. There's often such focus on bigger battle reports, but that doesn't always mean they're better.
Thanks! Yeah, sometimes the small games have way more character, and there feels like there's more at stake :)
Nice batrep: 500 points is perfect for following it with ease and for introducing someone to the hobby. Moreover, it seems more like a skirmish game than a battle one, hence all the models count more, you are more invested in their fate. Keep up the good work ^^.
Yeah! You definitely feel it when a squad gets wiped out
Love the synth soundtrack for grimdark 40k, it's very BritTV sci-fi
Thanks! All made specially for Midwinter Minis :)
Cool small game!
Both forces looked awesome.
Thanks Matt! It's funny to play games where it takes longer to set up the board than to play the game ;)
If you want to see short battle reports i recommend play on table top’s series of 40kin40minutes
Dude your Narator voice is top notch 👍
Haha, thank you very much, it's fun to crack it out sometimes ;) Stops me from waking Penny up with it, at least.
@@MidwinterMinis It really was some professional voice actor level stuff.
This is like the best and most put together battle report I've seen.
Beginner's luck! ;)
Great and clear presentation, without excessive banter that other BR insert in great amount. I hope for more soon.
Just the right amount of banter and snark IMHO.
Ants rolled real unlucky. I love small bat reps. Too many points ruin the fun sometimes
SO unlucky, especially at the start! It would have been a totally different game if he'd managed 18 shots at the Wraiths right at the start.
That’s what I thought! The dice just weren’t with him... I hate when that happens. :(
The God-Emperor was not with him.
*sighs in Chaplain*
Matt Ward abandoned his ultramarines
That mini Lucky 38 billboard is the coolest goddamn thing I have ever seen. Just wanted to mention that.
I recognized it INSTANTLY from the corner of my eye and Ctrl+F'd to see if I was the only one who noticed.
What's Lucky 38?
@@syweb2 It’s a casino and pivotal location in Fallout: New Vegas.
Probably one of the best batreps out there. Loving it.
Thanks so much! Beginner's lucky maybe :)
That wraith that you hooked over the ledge to fight the inceptor was just so funny to me.
If the models have hooks, you can bet I'm gonna use them ;)
He wants to eat your shins!
Wow, honestly this is such a incredibly narrated, and incredibly filmed battle report. This seriously raises the bar.
Woo! That's very kind of you, thanks mate :)
20:47
"This Hell Blaster has blasted his last... hell?"
-Midwinter Minis, 2019
Around 7:22 - Tesla Carbines have an AP of 0, so AP-1 within 12" and using Mephrit. The Marines should have been saving on 4+, so at least 5 or 6 saves were made there.
Around 8:14 - Warriors have BS 3+, not 4+. So that's 3 hits there, not 2.
Yeah, that's right! Only one would have been removed, and one taken down to a single wound. It would have definitely helped the Ultramarines, but I don't think it would have made too much of a difference to the final result. We'll remember for next time :)
Midwinter Minis also crypteks give necron units +1 to reanimation protocols when within 3” of each other.
8:14 the warriors were shooting at the hellblaster that where behind cover so that's a 4+ to hit
Space Monkey I was told that objectives don’t count as cover
When the hellblaster supercharged his plasma weapon, those 2's would cause him to explode because he's getting -1 to hit rolls from falling back. Unless, of course, that plasma gun is worded differently than the ones I'm familiar with. Also, while Ultramarines can shoot after falling back, they cannot charge.
I really enjoyed the format of this batrep. I appreciate the description of what happened and why you chose to do it.
I have heard that round-edged, pipped dice tend to roll 1's more frequently than is statistically average. While it's not a huge deal since you both seemed to be using them, it might end up skewing battles towards "less action."
The dice roll shots are brilliant, and I love the background music.
The effort you all put into this is palpable, and I really enjoyed it. I'm looking towards more in the future!
Thanks very much! Yeah, a couple of rules were forgotten along the way, but we had a fun game! We're glad you enjoyed it, and the work that went into it :)
Sorry to “necro” an old thread but yes; round edged piped dice do statistically roll 1’s more often. It is very very slight, I believe only like a 2-3% difference. That is the reason dice in casinos are square edged and painted on numbers and are only used for a set number of throws before they are destroyed/sold/given away.
*Edit* I re-educated myself after writing this as it had been a few years since I read that article about the rounded edged dice. Apparently out of 144k test rolls, rolling a 1 had a 29% chance of showing. A normal D6 should have a 16.6% chance of any side. So, rolling a 1 is actually very likely to happen.
your battlereports are probably the most coherent and comprehensible that I've seen on youtube. bravo.
Search Play on Tabletop
This is great. As someone try to start 40k, these small battle reports help so much
Chiming in to say this is one of the very best batrep I have ever seen: short (30min is perfect, don't have time for longer), great editing and audio, great narration, informative for causal players and all-round friendly demeanor. Hit it out of the park on your first try :)
Thanks very much! Yeah, I don't like to do things by half, and I wanted to make a bat-rep that I'd be happy to watch all the way through. I'm glad you felt it was worth it! :)
Those 3 1's the primaris captain got at 25.38 he could have rerolled for himself using rites of battle
For sure, he could have gone down in some sort of blaze of glory, but he would have gone down none-the-less :)
@@MidwinterMinis Statistically improbable, but he certainly had a chance of winning.
@@carbon1255 statistically improbable victories are the most satisfying, especially if doom is inevitable anyway
oh those poor Inceptors! they were just dying for the buffs of the new Codex... Honestly, as much as this felt one sided, I think with denser terrain and a few different missions, 500pts could be a really viable game size.
this being a batrep with work done in post-production means I already really enjoy it. the willingness not to show every moment, and to talk about the game after it's done, makes these things better. I think a dedicated camera on a dice tray might make the rolling a little smoother? but that could also be more work in the editing. at least, I think a dice tray is nice to have, because you knock less things over. but, I'm clumsy...
anyways, Courage and Honor, those xenos will get their's!
Thanks Jae! Yeah, a dice tray is definitely on the cards for the next game :) Glad you enjoyed it!
That was good fun; though I really do think that GW should do something about the turn sequence in 40k. Maybe removing casualties at the end of the Turn, like in Apocalypse, would mitigate the worst effects of I-Go-U-Go. Congratulations to Penny for inserting some quality "Carry On" style comedy.
Yeah, that's definitely a problem in 40k. Big hitters getting targeted and not even being part of the game after the first turn.
This battle report was awesome. The scenario was great. The length was perfect I was able to watch it while getting ready for work. Looking forward to the next episode. Keep up the good work.
Guys the production quality of this battle report is incredible, the minis are beautiful and I love the terrain too! This 500point skirmish is an ideal instructional video for new players, and I sincerely hope to see more low-point faction skirmishes on the channel! Great work! You've well earned your newest subscriber, blown away!
Wahey! Thanks very much mate. Welcome to the channel :)
I really like how you narrate all the actions in detail. Looking forward to more videos like this!!
Thanks Hugh, yeah, sometimes battle reports can be very vague!
What an awesome battle vid, from all of the descriptions, production values, and rules explanations...its just a TON of fun!
Thank you! Such a great addition to my morning coffee. Cheers from Quebec Canada!
The short video length and the thorough explanations of what's going on and why things are happening (e.g., dice rerolls) are a blessing. Thank you.
i stopped playing 40k after 6th edition, and for awhile its felt like so much was different that i would have to almost relearn the game entirely. Your videos cover the basics well and do a great job of explaining things.
I can honestly say that this is the only battle report video that I've actually enjoyed! Well done to you all!! Most others either talk way too fast, or presume that everyone knows how things work and don't really explain why something has happened. I really appreciate the effort taken to make this beginner friendly. I traditionally enjoy this hobby because I love painting, and I think I've only ever actually played one game of 40k before. Your video may have just changed that fact. Thanks!
That's great to hear Danny! Yeah, it's a fun game to play once you get the core stuff down... and even when you forget a few of the core things - like we did in this game - you still have fun :) That's the most important part.
The batreps on emperor’s crusade channel also have the same vibe as this. I would recommend checking them out.
This is the first video I watch from you and I have to say its pretty awesome how much effort and love are put on the tabletop.
Very explicative, with lore and roleplay, very interesting.
You gained a sub.
Awesome Batrep gentlemen. Loved the cinematic aspect.... the narrative at the end speaking about the battle in specific terms really made it feel like a relevant battle. Looking forward to the follow up!
This has been the best battle report I have seen in a while. I love how you guys opened and ended the video. I paint more than I play and I appreciate how you went over each movement and attack. I hope you will do more battle reports like this in the future.
Thanks Ephraim! Glad to know you like the format :) It's always a bit nerve-wracking trying something new.
So glad you guys did this. It's in e same wonderful humour I've come to absolutely adore from your Blackstone Fortress painting tutorials. Thank you for starting with a small game that I can watch on my lunch break. Hope you'll do a few varied size battles. Keep some small and one or two bigger battles.
As always keep it going.
Thanks Dan! Yeah, the bite-sized nature of games like this make them more "a bit of fun" rather than an epic slog... but we can always escalate, eh? :)
One of the better batreps ive seen, good job!
Hands down the best Batreps I've ever seen, from the best miniature war gaming channel I've ever seen. I hope all is well, and stay safe!
One of my favorite battle reports so far. Love the pace, focus on dice and the stats presented each action. Because I’m still learning the game I found this incredibly useful. The narrative is golden man! Love it! ✊
You're welcome Jose! We try to be nice and clear to help beginners like you... we all started somewhere! :)
Guy, man, those narratives you did to open and close the batrep were brilliant. Really added a massive amount of story to it. Keep those up, mate. Love them. And well done, it's bloody nice to see Necrons win things atm.😭💚
Thanks Gareth! Yeah, it's fun to add a bit of story to the game, makes it a bit more exciting when things go right... or wrong!
Just started watching these episodes and I love them, nice job. Last time I played 40k, Tau had only been out about a year so a very long time ago. Soooooo much has changed with loads of new minis, was fun to watch
THANK YOU for such a clear, almost-soothing-yet-exciting batrep! Your nice voices make it better, and the fact you're beginner friendly is also fantastic. Plus, Necrons. Amazing stuff, I wish most bat rep'ers were as clear as you guys!
Thanks to the edit and the chill atmosphere, this battle report was really cool and easy to watch. Well done sir
Thank you, Imotekh. Big admirer of your wonderful work on Schrödinger VII.
This was great! Loved it. Please make more battle reports like this! :)
We'd love to make some more, stay tuned :)
This video is what convinced me to finally get into 40k. I couldn't resist the allure of the immortal Egyptian robotic space skeletons.
They're pretty bad-ass, eh Nick? Glad you enjoyed it :)
These are amazing. I'm happy to see 500 pointers.
Yeah! We love 500 point games :)
Great first battle Report! Sometimes I struggle to watch them but this was great. Hopefully you will do more in the future :)
Thanks Jason! Yeah, I have no attention span either, so rapid-firing battle reports are a must :)
Fantastic battle report here! The format is great because you take the time to move the models, show the roles, and even comment on most of the actions.
The camera work and editing is exceptional and different compared to other batreps.
I can't wait to see you guys do full 2K battle reports with the current rules and stratagems :) keep it up lads
Thanks Laurence! Maybe we'll be able to build it up to that one day :)
I'm obsessed with these battle reports and this channel now, only found it yesterday and I'm smashing though loads of them.
Just discovered your channel and I love it! The perfect balance of easy-to-follow tips and entertaining narration. Please keep the batreps coming!
Don't you just love it when you find an awesome new channel? Enjoy your binge watch! (PS, we've got a playlist for that ;)
Midwinter Minis thank you and I’m already there...particularly liked the white wine-fueled ‘guess the colour and character’ session. I think GW upped their pricing in revenge.
"This hellblaster has blasted his last hell" got me xD
“They are stabby and they want to stab my space marines”
Yes yes yes! Very excited to watch this! Narrative games ftw!
Thanks Tory! Yeah, much more interesting than a big slogging match ;)
I call this a Kill Team Plus game and I think they are a very fun way to get a little play in. Added bonus that they make it easier for you to do a bunch of them? *fingers crossed*
The Narrative here was, "We claim these relics in the name of Ultramar! AAAAGH! Scary Robots!" :D
So, it's not an ORIGINAL 40k plot line but they are classics for a reason.
@@torymiddlebrooks I was rooting for the Scary Robots :D
Hey Midwinter! Just wanted to say thanks for helping a (very) new person to Warhammer battles. Y'all give concise and clear instructions, which can make it a bit less daunting to enter into the series. Cheers!
Awesome batrep! Perfect length, good pacing, and a steady camera. Can't wait to see more!
... mostly steady, haha. Some of those dice-roll zooms were pretty hair-raising, hah.
This was a really good batrep. Love the format. Both armies look really good too.
Just a heads up. The wraiths have to measure vertical distance as of the 2019 FAQ. It sucks a big one, because Necrons got the only variation on the fly mechanic, and it's only negative.
WHAT?! Haha, that's so lame. How are they supposed to be #spiderwraiths if they can't go anywhere they want? ;)
Well technically it makes sense - they don't actually fly or hover, they move different sections of their body/limbs in and out of phase with reality and literally move *through* things like ghosts...or....well....wraiths I guess. This is also why they have a 3+ invul :)
they also get the bonus of charge after fallback but other than that fly with the invulnerable would be more beneficial than the current rule overall
Love the video, I definitely think the teleport was a bit OP here, with 500 points it meant you could teleport half your army, imagine a 2000 points game where you could teleport 1000 points of it into combat turn 1
What a great Battle Report! Your channel is awesome. You guys make it easy to learn the game from watching it being played as well as all the crafting it took to get them table ready in other videos. Bravo!
Again such an incredible video, love this battle report, I've never played 40k yet but I'm familiar with other tabletops, thank you so much for this beginner friendly video with great editing and voice over
Loved the tone and pacing of the batrep, a great style :D
When a unit is locked in base to base, I am pretty* sure you cannot move out of contact to go attack another unit, like what happened to the Captain. Always a few rules are missed, but hey even Tabletop Tactics do it so don't worry.Tbh for a small narrative game it really makes no difference, it's all about stuff looking cool!
Thank you! Yeah, we weren't sure of that fight phase manoeuvring either, but we thought it would be okay for "rule of cool" to keep the game flowing :)
Thank you for explaining the game as you go.. the 'strength vs toughness', special rules etc..
I don't play, I just watch BRs for the minis on parade, but I've never heard anyone explaining the game as they go before.
Thanks! Yeah, we wanted to keep it beginner-friendly so people could maybe learn as they watched :)
Well done on this video. Good background story, scenary and length of video. Nice clear commentary, good explaination of 'to hit' 'to wound' ' to save' and general rules. Keep these coming. Thanks
I subbed months ago for the hobby tutorials and just now watching a bat rep and I could kick myself for not watching earlier. One of the best I have seen. Like many others I love how you explain why you’re rolling what you are. As someone making the leap from AoS to 40k it is great to have some of the simple differences explained. Please make more bat reps :)
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying our random mix of stuff, haha
The captains reroll 1s to hit bubble affects himself, as well as units around him 19:46
Also, not sure if this was filmed after the release of the new codex. If it was, don't forget shock assault on those marines. +1 to hit when fighting back after being charged, or charging, or doing an heroic intervention.
I wondered why he wasn't rerolling 1s
It was filmed pretty much as it came out, so we were using the 2017 codex for Ultramarines. Good shout on the buff though, we'll remember that for next time! :)
@@MidwinterMinis yeah, it's tricky with batreps atm, not knowing when things were filmed, and which codex is being used. I find some of the more established channels for batreps just let you know which rule set they are running (8th Ed, with mission from chapter approved 2018, and the new space marine codex etc) early doors just so you know where you're at. But it was great fun for a first bat rep, with the typical humour we've come to expect.
Isnt it +1 to the units attack value not to hit?
Yes. +1 Attack on the turn you charge, are charged or performed a heroic intervention.
That battle of macragge scenery is such a throwback
I know, right? :)
Love watching this, keep up the great work. Watching the tutorials for the latest black stone fortress has made me go back and start finishing the rest of the original box with your videos to help thanks guys
Nice! Glad we could help out your hobbying Ashley :)
Great batrep and excellent presentation! Easy to follow. I really liked the small point battle, fast and furious! Subbed
Thanks Pablo! Really glad you enjoyed the format :)
I love the paint scheme for the Necrons.
Thanks John! I've made pretty in-depth tutorials on the methods :)
nice battle report, I'm liking the dubbed explanations of the action.
heads up tho, immortals tesla carbines have ap0, making it ap-1 with mephrit solar fury
Thanks! Yeah, we'll remember for next time :) Thought it was too good to be true!
Some of the best editing and narration for a Battle Report out there! I enjoyed this quite a bit as I could actually follow along, being a new player and all.
You're too kind! :) Good luck getting into the game
One of the best BatReps I've seen. Very good job! Would love to see some more in this style. Narration, camera work and how you both explained the rules were all exceptional.
Thanks so much Jesse! Glad we ticked so many boxes on our first try :)
I just got into the Tabletop side of Warhammer but small point games seem much more enjoyable
Total noob here, but loving your WH40K-videos - watched the introduction to beginners, and then stumbled upon this one. I was worried that everything would go over my head, but the way you explained every move, and phase made it easy to follow.
One question, though: Why did the Ultramarine player go directly for the Necron leader? Is the death of the leader an instant victory for the other team, or just huge penalties for the side that leader was on?
Mark P it’s a big penalty that can get more units to retreat.
Only just came across your channel but I'm an instant fan.
Absolutely great content! Keep it up!
While i haven't watched that many battle reports {i'd say around 5}, this is by far the most entertaining BR I've seen. Small Point value armies, plus commentary on what's going on, plus editing that streamlines the action, basically everything a new player would want. I really hope you guys have done more BRs like this.
We've done a few, but we plan to do more! :)
Only 3 according to your playlist of them, sadly. I'm hoping your BRs include some Orks and Space Marine action specifically, maybe even against each other, as those are the only 2 armies i've looked into currently, though I think any army BR will be entertaining with the format you guys have with these.
Great video but when is the Blackstone Fortress play through coming? We need to see those wonderful minis in action!
Maybe at some point! :)
@@MidwinterMinis How about combining both, and using the Blackstone Minis in a 40k battle report? :D
@@MidwinterMinis you could use the Chaos guys in a Battle Report too. I'd like to see how they do in a proper game of 40k.
Although it's not going to make a huge deal to the game. Near the end there, when you did Reanimation Protocols on the Immortals. You rolled for reanimation on an Immortal lost to morale. Unfortunately, you can't do that. It was FAQed a while back.
Correct! Although the thought of a Necron running away by falling into bits, and then putting itself back together again when it calms down is pretty funny.
its in the rule itself in the main codex. didn't need to be FAQ. clearly says
Wow. Really really enjoy the small battle report. I really like how you break it down and explain as you go. It’s simple and easy to follow.
Glad you liked it :)
I enjoy your format for these. Much more entertaining then most to warch
Finally, kinda excited rn
Yes mate!
Would *love* to see a rematch with the new space marine codex!
I don't want to get you too excited, but we've already recorded it...
Guys , you should totally do more Batreps ... the way you comment and camera work makes the game very straightforward and enjoying to watch. 10/10
Thanks very much! We'll definitely do them every so often :)
@@MidwinterMinis you guys are awesome I hope only good things happen to you :)
Loved the batrep guys - especially the speed and detail of rerolls. This was a great short watch, for a perfect fast skirmish, whereas some batreps can run 2+ hrs. Please keep these coming!
Thanks Max! Yeah, I have no attention span, so I tried to cap it to 30 minutes :)
Hmmm... Can these Ultramarines really charge after falling back 🤔? (Turn 2)
You're right! It could fall back and shoot, but shouldn't have been able to charge. We'll remember that for next time! I don't think it would have made much of a difference to this game though, it certainly wasn't an advantage for the poor Ultramarines! :(
Midwinter Minis NECRONS !
Nice work! After fall back, nor shooting or charge Is allowed. Am I right?
This type of small games would totally fit my needs. Maybe I try to convince my friends to play more small games instead of apocalypse games. :D
But, the resurrection of the necrons is a little bit overpowered in this small games I guess.
By the way, I have an odd question. So far we know that Penny works in a hospital, but is she a nurse or a medical doctor? Just want to know since I work at a hospital too. :O
Hey Max! Yeah, small games are often way more fun than big, multi-unit/army games, fewer rules to remember, faster action, more fun... so fun, you can play twice! :)
Also, she's a doctor!
Please make more of these! Best overall battle reports commentary I've seen on yt
As a long-time player for 40k. I just want to say Bravo! I really am glad I stumbled upon this battle report. It is well put together, beautiful models and board and the voice-overs, going into a detailed explanation of what is going on was refreshing for people. I will be showing this off to my local peeps who are starting to play.
Excellent! Thanks so much mate, happy that you'd like to share it. There's more to come :)
"and that´s one immortal dead"

Hehehehee

please i need more these are so beautifully edited. ty
Thank you! We've got lots more planned
\> Rolls two twos on overcharged plasma after falling back
So they changed plasma explosions to unmodified 1s in the new codex?
That's handy.
edit: And then he charged on the turn he fell back ..?
Nope, old codex, just a little oversight. Wouldn't have changed anything in the game though, poor old Ultramarines!
This was the most one sided battle I've ever seen.
Finally someone pointed it out it was a total slaughter
The dice were really brutal.
Love the smaller point games and fully painted models. Y'all make the hobby look good
Thank you very much!
These are literally THE BEST batreps. Good working narrating. Good filming. Best thing ever is that we're actually getting to see the models. I also like the 500 point level games.
Too kind! Yeah, at this level, you can get a bit up close and personal and not lose sight of what's going on entirely :)
why does all Warhammer players on youtube wears a thumbring?
So we can identify each other when we're out in public ;)
