    Banter similar to the older WD battle reports. Also gotta love the mesoamerican pattern you managed to paint on the skinks bag at 6:00

      Isn't he incredible! I got him as part of a lot and basically just touched him up. He was originally going to be green, but I couldn't bring myself to strip the amazing original paint job. I'd love to find out who painted him some day.

    I love everything in your video.
    The memories it brings back
    The narratives
    the looks
    The paint job
    the falling models while you move them
    The french accent (i'm french btw)
    the green skink in the red unit
    many thanks.

    Perhaps next battle, the Bretonnions could pursue the Lizardmen into the jungle, only to realize they've been ambushed. Like the Lizardmen are deployed on either flank while the Bretonnions are in the center. Or the deployment is as normal, but some kind of dangerous terrain (swamp water, spiked pit traps, etc) lay between them, ready to stymie the knights.

    5th ed Battles Book has a nice campaign system. The themed terrain generation tables are great too. With your story telling skills I’m sure you’d weath a fantastic narrative from a fee randomly selected scenarios turned into a campaign.

    Hi.
    WFB 3rd player here, question for you.
    With the scaly devils that charge the archer wedge, how do they kill 3 archers when they are only in B2B contact with 1 of them?
    A bit later the wedge is charged and the lizard leader again kills more people than he is in B2B with, is that how 5th edition works?

    • @hammerthebacklog
      @hammerthebacklog  Рік тому +1

      So it probably wasn't the best idea to try to learn 5th edition rules with the awkward Bretonnians! But, It think we got it right. For the arrowhead formation, my understanding of the rules is the the whole width of of the unit counts as frontage, so they are "touching" even if they are not. My other understanding is that models in B2B are the ones that can fight, but anyone can be killed. I couldn't tell you a page reference for that rule though, so it may be an incorrect assumption! I'll look it up this evening and let you know.

    In 5th edition, do troops in combat suffer panic tests? By 7th edition they only took break tests if they lost combat. Great video, by the way, and well done on beautiful paint jobs.

    • @hammerthebacklog
      @hammerthebacklog  Рік тому +1

      I was pretty sure they did, and that was how a bad panic test could break a line, but that might have been an assumption that was wrong. I'll check this evening and let you know. This is great, free feedback so I can learn the rules better!

    I would like too see a normal pitch battle, Bretonnia, everything from the box set, PLUS 750 points to spend how you like. V's Lizardmen, evertyhing from the 5th edition box set, PLUS 750 points to spend how you like.
    (I am not sure if both sides, have an even amount of points, from the models of the box sets? But if one side has Less points, from the models from the box set... then they are allowed more points, until its an even amount.)

    • @ashtaylor3098
      @ashtaylor3098 Рік тому

      ideally it would be nice to see each side with a maiin character, (only IF there is enough points, and the army list is still legal, i.e under the 50% or so allowed for characters, or whatever it is). Maybe see Lord Kroak vs Leon, or another special character.... if that is even possible

    • @hammerthebacklog
