Great as usual :D Also kinda cool that my english and german is enough to understand 95% of what the Undead are saying. You put some crazy effort into these videos. Love it
Cheers Jonas! I've actually just substituted the modern English with Old or Middle English. It's not an accurate translation by any stretch of the imagination, but it gives a very cool effect where the words are strange, but still close enough that you could follow along if you needed to. And the German roots of the language really come to the fore!
It certainly does. Something I'm finding as I'm doing the substitutions is the huge influence of French and Latin on modern English as well. I mean I always knew they were an influence, but I guess I never quite realised how much. Probably half the words I put into the dialogue are from a French or Latin root. Which can be a pain because I'm trying to avoid using them to keep the Old English flavour to the fore!😆 Needless to say, it can involve a lot of flicking through the thesaurus!
Amazing how much effort must have gone into this. The buildings, the boats, all, the board. It looks super good and is very narrative, not to mention all the editing efforts, sound and video effects etc. One thing, that I feel would be the icing on the cake would be some nice backgrounds for the story shots. Jon Hodgson has some nice stuff there, that I feel would suit the vibe. Like any reasonable person, I do dislike those pesky elves, but seeing them butchered in this fashion by the undead does make me feel for them. It kind of felt like all the tough luck the undead had in the previous engagements has now turned around completely. Or maybe those elves just became to weak on their presumed island safety... (or maybe Joe overpriced them, like many people are saying :D )
It's certainly taken a while to put it all together! You're absolutely right about the backgrounds, and it's been annoying me for a while now. I've actually got a small green screen on order at the moment to hopefully make them easier to edit out and some proper art would be the icing on the cake for sure! The change in leadership has certainly had an effect on the luck of the Undead, it's a complete switch around! But that cavalry charge at the start was just heartbreaking.
@@AshandStoneNZ But seriously, it all looks absolutely amazing on your tables. My absolute favourite Channel for narrative Batreps, which are the only ones I watch... 😅
Glad you enjoyed! Yes! They managed to sneak it in right at the end. Eye on the prize and all that! A couple of unlucky activation rolls for the Elves and the Undead could advance unchecked.
Absolutely fantastic! I almost feel sorry for the elves. If only the undead had rolled so hot under poor old Moxis. I love the Crimson Remnant, they look so striking. Hope we see more fallen enemies among the undead in the future.
Cheers Kaneshiro! Yeah, things have certainly switched around after the change in leadership! I'm really happy with how the Crimson Remnant came out. The bright red works really well IMO. I'd love to do some more too. I'll have to find some suitable elf skeletons now!
@@AshandStoneNZ It'd be great to see a video on how the Crimson Remnant were made and painted. They're very striking visually and thematically very cool too!
I am so happy and excited to see the undead story unfold. They may not be dwarfs, but I love your ability to tell a story so much that I jump for joy for every new video that comes out
Fantastic Batrep, I always enjoy your posts and I have been motivated to buy Oathmark and a couple of the supplements. Funnily enough it is the Undead and Elves I am thinking of collecting. I appreciate the effort you must have to put in to make the reports so compelling.
Cheers Wilhelm! That's great to hear! I reckon it's the story that unfolds during the game. It makes things more satisfying than simply moving the models around.
@AshandStoneNZ I agree for sure! Also it gives me idk like I am a kid again vibe which is ard to explain. Nonetheless thank you for all your awesme content!
Cheers Hans! They are 3D prints from Vae Victis with Oathmark Human Light Infantry shields: www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-modular-skeletons-pack-pre-supported-232446 As a bonus, the bodies are a great way of using up the spare Oathmark Skeleton arms and heads!
Wow! You really did a great job on this one. The board, the buildings, the boats, the intro... your hard work is very much appreciated. Incidentally, where did you find the STLs for the boats?
I do need to take some photos of those guys. Not sure where to share them though. It's probably a good use of the rather neglected community posts here on UA-cam!
Happy to see this campaign continuing! It is looking like this is the campaign of necromancer losers, though. Trying their best with the hand dealt to them, but still too...human. It's telling that Incorporix basically told Gideon "lol your undead just swim underwater n00b". The elder undead have little patience for these youngsters. Also noticed that when the elven cavalry got slaughtered down to one remaining horse-elf, the unit name for the dice cam was changed to "Rider of the Hal Anor", singular.
Cheers Aramis! Poor old Gideon just wanted to gain some power and unlock a little forbidden knowledge and now not only is he one of the Undead, he's also in thrall to an ancient evil! But those are the risks! 😅 Yes! Same with the Wyrmreach Spears. Though sadly I missed a couple of the titles. I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often to be honest, but I'm kicking myself for this one nonetheless.
I really like the elven buildings. Did you draw them or could you link the creator? Apart from that a brilliant BatRep. I think pure Elven armies suffer from their high point values / low numbers. But some Elvish leadership correcting the low morale / activation of undead or goblins? I might want to dust off my Dark Elves though ;-)
@@AshandStoneNZ Aye well that sounds like a great video as well actually. Wouldn't mind seeing how you made the boats, plus more waterborne action as well in the future would be cool! 🤠
Blast! Missed some titles! The extra dice roll after the activation at 13:16 was a 50/50 roll on whether they hit the flank or not. 1-5: Yes, 6-10: No
Your Campaigns and Battle Reports are among my favorite to watch. Hoping one day I can get some of my buddies into Oathmark!
Cheers mate! I'm glad to hear it!
I hope you manage it and get some sweet games in!
I love this channel. More Oathmark battles please!!
More to come! Cheers mate!
What a fantastic bat rep. Oathmark is such an underrated game and nobody does it more justice than you.
Please never stop! 😊
Cheers mate! I'm glad you enjoyed. Wish I could do them faster, but here we are! 😅
Great as usual :D

Angles-Saxons were a German tribe before migrating to the isles. Old English still wears its origin on the sleeves
It certainly does. Something I'm finding as I'm doing the substitutions is the huge influence of French and Latin on modern English as well. I mean I always knew they were an influence, but I guess I never quite realised how much.

Always stoked to see a new Ash and Stone narrative batrep!

@AshandStoneNZ Oh man, yeah that was nasty. But it is law, isn't it. You have a new shiny unit of models... they go down in the first blaze. 😅
You're absolutely right! It was foolish of me to think it would go otherwise! 😂
@@AshandStoneNZ But seriously, it all looks absolutely amazing on your tables. My absolute favourite Channel for narrative Batreps, which are the only ones I watch... 😅

Nice, a new Ash and Stone video! That was a lucky clutch win for the undead, I almost thought the Elves had it when the spears got bounced.
Glad you enjoyed! Yes! They managed to sneak it in right at the end. Eye on the prize and all that!

Excellent battle report! Absolutely love this series of games. Great work!
Cheers Matt! I'm really glad you are enjoying the series!
Gideon: 'Gather those wounded that still draw breath...'
Me: ( *_side-eyed the skeletons._* )
😂
He wasn't referring to his wounded.....
Excellent presentation as always and I love that the boats have slots in them for the miniatures!
Cheers Siygess! They were custom made to be used as movement trays, so may as well! 😄
Love it! Your battle reports are so engaging.
Thanks very much! I'm glad you like em!
Great video as always, your battle reps are second to none!
Cheers Steve! Thank you very much!
Excellent batrep, really impressive how well these are put together.
Cheers Cullen! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Ok, I'll keep that in mind! 🙂
I'd like to do a second unit at some stage so I'll be sure to record them.
Appreciate seeing another Oathmark battle! I
Cheers John! I hope you enjoyed it!
Great stuff as always! Amazing scenery, fun sound effects, a great campaign.
Thanks very much! I appreciate it!
Great story - as always also a great presentation, you are my example!
Thanks very much! I'll keep an eye out for you!
I love your battle reports please keep them coming I quite enjoy your story telling and look forward to each new exciting battle
Excellent work good sir. Your videos and how to vids are most anticipated and a joy to watch; as well as informative. Keep it up!
Thanks very much! I appreciate it!
Another great game mate. Already keen for the next one. Great terrain and minis as always.
Cheers mate! Appreciate it!
I am so happy and excited to see the undead story unfold. They may not be dwarfs, but I love your ability to tell a story so much that I jump for joy for every new video that comes out

Hot dam the Wickerwood Champion is a beast. The Elves fought like Elves.
He's great. He's definitely the mainstay of the Undead forces.
YES YES, we do want the freshi..ish long ears! Such a nice board and video :)
I will end up buying Oathmark if I watch to many...
😆 Cheers Peter! It's a great game... 😉
I should be trying to get a commission...😆
very nice report mate, that cav unit is beautiful
Cheers Bradley! I'll have to finish the rest of the box at some stage...
Fantastic battle rep as always!
Cheers mate! Glad you liked it!
Dude, your videos are by far my favorite. Idk how to explain it but they scratch some itch i have always wnated for battle reports idk why
Cheers Wilhelm! That's great to hear!

That's cool, and really nice to hear! You're welcome!
Elves! Dude I love that terrain
Cheers Drew! I'm very happy with how it's come out.
Fun stuff as always!
Cheers mate! I'm glad you enjoyed!
I’d love to see a behind the scenes how you do the battle reports this is great.
Cheers mate!
That's the sort of thing that gets the occasional coverage on the Patreon!😉😄
@@AshandStoneNZ I see what you did there…
Absolutely brilliant 👏 love the ship's
Cheers Doc!
Been waiting for this.
I hope you enjoy!
Nice beachfront !
Cheers! I'm really happy with how it turned out.
That was brilliant.
Cheers Ross!
Love it as always
Cheers Kelmor!
Love your Videos and narrative. Where do you get those red undead ones?
Cheers Hans! They are 3D prints from Vae Victis with Oathmark Human Light Infantry shields: www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-modular-skeletons-pack-pre-supported-232446

genuinely amazing channel if more knew about your channel you would have at least 100k subscribers
Cheers Ben, I appreciate it!
Let your mates know 😆
Wow! You really did a great job on this one. The board, the buildings, the boats, the intro... your hard work is very much appreciated.
Incidentally, where did you find the STLs for the boats?
Cheers mate! Appreciate it!
The boats are my own design, which I need to make available...
Talented fellow! 😀
I have my moments! 😅
You have to do a showcase of the crimson revenants!
I do need to take some photos of those guys. Not sure where to share them though.

Olè!
😆 I'm glad someone caught it!
Bro said nygramancer
You'll have to excuse Incorporix, he's from a different era. 😆
Those boats are so cool, hope to see them more in the future. Looking forward to seeing what hijinks the undead get up to in the future 💚🤍🧡
Cheers Oliver! Hopefully we can get some more waterborne action!
Though I need to make some more boats!
@@AshandStoneNZ Aye well that sounds like a great video as well actually. Wouldn't mind seeing how you made the boats, plus more waterborne action as well in the future would be cool! 🤠
To be fair, I cheated and 3D printed the boats, so it's not that exciting! 😆
But boat battles will be cool.
@@AshandStoneNZ Ah everyone's 3d printing these days to be fair.
Aye boat battles will be cool
Yeah, it's the lazy mans way of doing it. I could make a boat from scratch, but it's sooo much less effort to print one 😅
