Dude, that kid was awesome, much better than I thought he would be. I am always glad to watch these 8th edition games, but a good opponent is just icing on the cake
32:44 for the miscast the spell goes off before the miscast wounds are done, which means they'd have the 5+ wars save against those wounds from the spell.
The kid was cool, the game went back and forth in terms of fortune and misfortune and the strategies employed succeeded and failed upon the fortunes of the dice. This is a WHFB batrep that reminded me why I enjoyed the game. No cheesyness and a straight bout between two generals who had to reshape strategies according to a surprisingly fair balance of luck (except the second last combat round where Steve's lizards did massive damage and receive 0 in return!) GG guys. I enjoyed it.
One quick note is that if you are in range of the BSB you have to reroll failed leadership checks. When you failed the checks from the casket you would have had to reroll them, you did reroll them but it was compulsory not a choice. Love seeing TK on the board.
Bit late to the party, still I really enjoyed this report! Steve I find you are always a good sportsman and a good laugh in your video's - both essential in wargaming I feel ;). Your opponent was an easy going and smart guy too, so kudo's on a fun and well-mannered battle.
The Casket of Souls was not allowed to cast Light of Death in both turns 1 and 2 as it had moved. TK army book page 40 in the description for Light of Death (can cast only if the Keeper is alive, and the Casket of Souls has not moved this turn).
At 18:27 the there was 2 6s rolled to wound from the Sphinx crew into the saures Warriors which have killing blow. So you should've only rolled 3 saves with 2 automatically dying.
At 48:15 shouldn't the Temple Guard be wounding on 2's? Str 4 base +1 for Halberds? Unlike flails i'm pretty sure the str bonus stays consequtive for those weapons. Didn't matter terribly but hey ^^ Also ambushers like those snakes are so darn unreliable it hurts
49:51 the way you moved the charging Saurus was illegal. They get 1 wheel up to 90 degrees during their charge move and then 1 once in contact to close the door. You did 2 wheels during the charge move. Page 20 of BRB.
Kiddo has a pretty nice tomb kings army composition, woulda done without less bowmen and put some bigger hitters in but to each his own. :) I was prolly his age when I started playing! maybe younger, lol
rock on guys! long time watcher, but its my first time commenting. I like the Cullin battles usually but this kid has what it takes to become A streamer! our host is epic as usual!
Hey guys, wanted to know if you have heard of "TerranScapes" he does some amazing jungle/forest terrain. It's dense foliage, but it's mounted on removable disks so models can move through it. Thought you might want to check it out. Keep up the good work!
Anyone have any tips to get into warhammer? I find it quite confusing from what i have read online its now called age of sigmar and there is no longer any tombkings or lizardmen.
Yeah, Fantasy is officially dead as games workshop decided to introduce Age of Sigmar instead. It's not as aweful as it used to be, but still not my kind of game. If ye wanna play Warhammer Fantasy there is a 9th Age Fan edition made for it. Models are harder to come by sadly. Gotta search the web abit and see what ye can get in your gamestores
that is kinda weird considering when some big units fall enemies around them can take hits for having ie: an orc giant falling on them after dying- yet it doesn't become cover but it can smash though half of my ranks lmao. You oughta start up an army Warhammer is fun. I suggest 40k if your new to it- 40k is easier imo more fast paced and fun I think. Fantasy games always took foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I hope it is one day brought back, I never plan to play age of sigmar but if they for some reason remade this I would definitely start buying :) especially because of warhammer total war getting me in the mood for it :( it's torturing. I guess I'm just going to have to finish all my 40k models from 5th edition :D
After cascet is destroid priest is killed im think tomb king start returning to dust but dont know who is main priest or if im owerlook another priest in army.
this edition (or maybe the one before... i forget exactly) nerfed magic in a major way. but before that magic was way too powerful. i remember having something like 30 power dice with my vamps, plus 3-4 bound items which didn't use power dice. it was insanely powerful.
To be entirely honest, 7th edition wasn't meant to have 30 dice in say a 2.5k battle. Also the Vamps' lore was more powerful than the base rulebook' lore. You were rather meant to have at most 4 + 2x3 + 2 = 12 dice. A vampire lord should also really take up a hero choice as well as it's a combat monster, leaving you with 10 (plus maybe a bound spell or magic item or two). A far more reasonable amount.
yes its All leadership tests, the casket causes a Leadership test. It can work out well for the lizards as it did in this video for him, I have also seen it go horribly wrong for lizards. (my buddy plays lizardmen my other buddy plays Tomb Kings)
Liche high priests and tomb kings are both toughness 5 there were several times you didn't treat them as such, and tomb kings have killing blow. He got it off in every round of the challenge with the BSB and that could have been huge.
Dude, that kid was awesome, much better than I thought he would be. I am always glad to watch these 8th edition games, but a good opponent is just icing on the cake
thanks for keeping 8th alive steve, you're the man ;)
Man what a Fantastic game. The young man really knew his stuff, glad to see new blood in 8th.
great game, the kid knows his stuff :)
love the look of that tomb king army !!!
Probably the most enjoyable battle report in a long time, well done.
32:44 for the miscast the spell goes off before the miscast wounds are done, which means they'd have the 5+ wars save against those wounds from the spell.
"Ward" save sorry
Later he forgot about 5++ ward again.
And not used attribute to raise tomb guard 2 or 3 times.

GG guys. I enjoyed it.
My two favorite factions in warhammer!!!
One quick note is that if you are in range of the BSB you have to reroll failed leadership checks. When you failed the checks from the casket you would have had to reroll them, you did reroll them but it was compulsory not a choice. Love seeing TK on the board.
Earthing Rod and Dispel Scroll are arcane items. The TK character couldn't have both.

Kid knows his stuff very impressed with his knowledge! Very entertaining match.
The Casket of Souls was not allowed to cast Light of Death in both turns 1 and 2 as it had moved. TK army book page 40 in the description for Light of Death (can cast only if the Keeper is alive, and the Casket of Souls has not moved this turn).
Played TK like a boss, even if he did lose
At 18:27 the there was 2 6s rolled to wound from the Sphinx crew into the saures Warriors which have killing blow. So you should've only rolled 3 saves with 2 automatically dying.
I see that you caught this shortly after
"All 18 space marine legions" *triggered*
TRIGGERED
aren't there 20 legions?
+razetheking We don't talk about those other 2.
T_T\ yes sir/ma'am
At 48:15 shouldn't the Temple Guard be wounding on 2's? Str 4 base +1 for Halberds? Unlike flails i'm pretty sure the str bonus stays consequtive for those weapons. Didn't matter terribly but hey ^^
Also ambushers like those snakes are so darn unreliable it hurts
Strength 4 base + 1 for halberd - 1 for the spell "incantation of desiccation" = total Str of 4 = wounding on 3's
49:51 the way you moved the charging Saurus was illegal. They get 1 wheel up to 90 degrees during their charge move and then 1 once in contact to close the door. You did 2 wheels during the charge move. Page 20 of BRB.
Agreed. There was no legal way to execute that charge without hitting the knights.
Kiddo has a pretty nice tomb kings army composition, woulda done without less bowmen and put some bigger hitters in but to each his own. :) I was prolly his age when I started playing! maybe younger, lol
pg 40 of the tk army rulebook. you can't cast the light of death on the same turn that you move the casket.
rock on guys! long time watcher, but its my first time commenting. I like the Cullin battles usually but this kid has what it takes to become A streamer! our host is epic as usual!
Each chariot has 2 drivers, and each driver has 2 attacks, therefore, at 7:20 it should have been 8 shots, not 4.
when there is a kid in miniwargaming vids look at his eyes if u see glasses , you are in for a ride :D
damn I miss my Tomb Kings...
29:44 missed the thunderstorm from the war Sphinx I believe.
Gaah, "thunderstomp" sorry
Surely those skeletons that suffered the miscast effect must have had the 5+ ward from the spell, as you resolve that first?
how i miss 8th edition R.I.P
Hey guys, wanted to know if you have heard of "TerranScapes" he does some amazing jungle/forest terrain. It's dense foliage, but it's mounted on removable disks so models can move through it. Thought you might want to check it out. Keep up the good work!
52:33 dont chariots have impact attacks?
They do but only at the charge
Didja remember the Killing Blow from the Warsphinx crew?

Surprised giant things like the troglodon don't fall over and become "cover" when they die. I don't know this game, though.

Glad other kids love warhammer I'm getting a skaven army
Someone tell that kid how to say liche
funny-- I said 'like-h' for a couple of decades. I think it was Blizzard that finally corrected me.
yano, i used to watch more 40k videos... but i'm turning on to 8th more as time goes on.
what is the color scheme of this lizardmen army? i find it awesome
I hope it is one day brought back, I never plan to play age of sigmar but if they for some reason remade this I would definitely start buying :) especially because of warhammer total war getting me in the mood for it :( it's torturing. I guess I'm just going to have to finish all my 40k models from 5th edition :D
Damn good game that. Props to the kid too, was a pro.
After cascet is destroid priest is killed im think tomb king start returning to dust but dont know who is main priest or if im owerlook another priest in army.
Great game!! Despite the TK defeat: Well done Aidan!!
Didn't the big unit have a 5+ ward save in that combat at 39 mins?
Ah, I see you fixed this one, well caught lol
I feel like magic is a whole lot of nothing. It always either gets stopped or doesnt have enough to go off
this edition (or maybe the one before... i forget exactly) nerfed magic in a major way. but before that magic was way too powerful. i remember having something like 30 power dice with my vamps, plus 3-4 bound items which didn't use power dice. it was insanely powerful.

You were rather meant to have at most 4 + 2x3 + 2 = 12 dice. A vampire lord should also really take up a hero choice as well as it's a combat monster, leaving you with 10 (plus maybe a bound spell or magic item or two). A far more reasonable amount.
Panic tests from units destroyed from shooting and breaking in combat?
YES Tomb Kings are back plz can we see more of them.
@miniwargaming
The Skeleton Archers should of shot, the Undead special rule only states 'cannot elect to retreat'
I play vampire counts, and not sure if the rule of undead differs, yet undead states, "May only elect to hold"
Depends on if they're doing Undead Legion rules- post-Nagash they had more options, I think.
where did he buy that casket of souls?
Can you really use your cold blooded rule, for the caskets spell?
not sure specifically for the casket, though i remember a there were a couple of similar things over the years where you could use it.
yes its All leadership tests, the casket causes a Leadership test. It can work out well for the lizards as it did in this video for him, I have also seen it go horribly wrong for lizards. (my buddy plays lizardmen my other buddy plays Tomb Kings)
cool game. Khemri was at the very bottom of the mta in 8th though
Great to see some Tomb Kings! :D gg wp!
Was it me or did they forget the Hatred rule of the necrotech after a while?
The Tomb Kings were too good for this world.
Who else has no idea what the rules are but came here for a TK fill that AOS can't provide?
tfw this young man has better and clearer enunciation than you
That kid is awesome
Liche high priests and tomb kings are both toughness 5 there were several times you didn't treat them as such, and tomb kings have killing blow. He got it off in every round of the challenge with the BSB and that could have been huge.
Tomb Kings (and Tomb Princes) do not have Killing Blow, just Tomb Heralds. Liche High Priest are T4.
skeleton archers shouldnt evaporated from battle resolving, u misscalculated that
is this 8th edition?
Yes
Subbed
Have tomb kings ever won a game ever?
great game guys!
Hey guys, it would be great to see some more age of Sigmar stuff, especially using the new points values.
Why Skelegens? Its SKELETONS
Let the Kid win!
What Age of Sigmar?
Jim Jimjim what
Steve plz stop using the trog every time it does nothing
ForestGeist but cool
damn speak slower...
