These 500 point battles are so easily digestible that I could watch them non stop. All the work that goes into the editing really paid off, great work !
Haha, thanks mate!
@@MidwinterMinis If we could get these weekly or fortnightly that'd be fantastic
@1234 The announcement of play being balanced and supported at lower points levels (500!) is the best announcement yet regarding 9th edition.
Spot on rigby! Keep them coming
Midwinter Minis
Guy, see ya in 2 years
That way I think I can watch more battle reports as I am pretty sure you would be able to make more
"burna boys are one of the worst flamers in the game"
proceeds to carry every one
Bugs hate fire, what can I say?
they might have the worst flamers, but they are one of the few armies that can take whole squads of them.
@@matthewcampbell3146 as with all things Orky, doesn't matter that the guns have terrible aim when you're firing 4 times as many as your opponent.
@@ecyor0 That's what makes burnas so good in an Ork army -- they auto-hit!
The thing is that burnas and flamers will rinse most Nid armies, especially the swarm lists.
Hey just wanted to say I love your battle reports. The lower point numbers and you covering each phase, dice rolls for shooting, saves, and bonuses from units and the like makes the game really comprehensible
Thanks mate! Yeah, it's a pain in the arse to edit, but I think the end result is much more manageable :)
@@MidwinterMinis thank you for that, im just starting and is much easier to follow
Came here to say this same thing.
100% love these battle reports. Clean audio, clean description, quality editing, perfect for a nice cuppa in the morning.
@@MidwinterMinis The editing is worth it, these are great videos. I also like that you comentate each others' turns rather than your own, just makes it feel more like a friendly game.
In the grim darkness of the far future every one is surprisingly vibrant and fashionable
Orks are easily the least grim dark armies in lore. the orks just want to fight so the non stop war is a great time for them.
I'm so torn about these battle reports, I love how short and digestible they are but I'm also left wanting more every time the video ends 😭
Haha, well, we've got 4 now! That's a good couple of hours of nerdy fun ;)
I love the little ones you have done so far, but where is the 1500 point battle report! I'd watch that for sure!
@@MidwinterMinis Planning to do bigger point battles? 1000?
@@MidwinterMinis you do a good job editing and narrating them, it keeps them interesting. Not many seem to be able to do that.
9:30 because my units were IN the exploding truck they didnt get hurt.
Thats a pretty weird rule.
It sounds dumb but what the Burna boyz had to deal with is instant death. When the vehicle explodes it forces a disembark on the unit inside (the Burna Boyz); each model needs to roll a dice and on the roll of a 1 the model is slain, no matter how many wounds they have. So if say that Weird Boy was in the transport, if the roll was a 1 then he'd be dead. No saves, No multiple wounds to save him, just dead.
@@Karloss00 it's still really generous though, I personally think they should do the explosion check as well, it only makes sense. It's really weird that the guys inside of the vehicle get a pass on it exploding and only do the forced disembark.
@@FaustSketcher
It kinda makes sense.
You could say that the embarked units knew that their ride was about to blow, so they jumped out and immediately hit the deck. The enemy, who doesn’t fully know when said tech is gonna blow, gets hit by the explosion and dies.
But because they’re Orks, you could also say that they can’t be hurt by the explosions of their vehicles because they think that it won’t hurt them.
@@awesometown1000 ah, yes, indeed a demonstration of the WAAAAHH energy on play
@@FaustSketcher nobody would use vehicles if this was a rule
That weird boy needs a name after these battle reports, rolled four 6's to stay alive in the first battle then popped a brood lords head off with psychic badass-ness in the second. Don't mess with the loincloth
And denied the broodlord earlier in da fight as well

Thank you so much for posting this battle report. I remember getting into WH40k back in 2009 and having the hardest time finding anyone to play against because I only had 500 points of troops. Some people were willing to play against me while others said "No" because they didnt want to have to step down to such a small army. I'm really glad to see people still want to not only play with 500 point armies but even post battle reports online. Thank you and keep up the great content!
Exactly! I think getting a couple of low-point games is way more fun than a big 2k slogfest, especially if you're a busy adult! Haha
@@MidwinterMinis 500-1000 point games is the sweet-spot in my opinion (although the spectacle of bigger games definitely has its appeal in its own way). Small games however are quick, fun, and arguably more tactical in some respects than larger games. The ability to get in more games also allows people to try out more missions and lists, giving more variety in games too. Plus, for BatReps, they are quicker to play (and probably therefore quicker to edit), more digestible for viewers which means they will pull in more views, and are great for showcasing the minis being used.
Also, these small BatReps are GREAT for bringing new people into the hobby because they make the games and rules so easy to follow, and it counteracts the idea that you need like 1500-2000 points to have a fun game, which is a perspective which can be really off-putting for potential new players as armies that size take a while to collect and can be really daunting prospects.
I would love to see more BatReps on youtube from both you and other channels like Tabletop Tactics at the 500-1000 point range or playing smaller games like Kill Team
I'm a simple man. I see a midwinter minis battle report and I click like. (I love the shorter format that you guys do rather than the huge 2 hour long ones) Keep it up!
Haha, thanks for your dedication! ;)
PlayOnTabletop
Your battle reports are the best on UA-cam imo, nothing else even compares. The Quality is something I wish more channels had and there's a level of relaxed professionalism that I absolutely love. My younger brother and I have been getting into this game thanks to you, keep it up man. Your work is much appreciated
Thanks so much! :)
I couldn't see anyone else mention this but you must remember to roll the "Ramshackle" rule for your Ork trukk
Yes! I did forget, but there was another 20+ hits incoming, so it would have gone POP anyway ;)
I don't even care for 40k but you guys do it in such an entertaining way I really enjoy watching it.
Nice! Happy you enjoyed it Frank :)
LOVE THIS CHANNEL LOVE YOUR BATTLE REPORTS!!!!! sitting quarantined need something to do and this pops up THANK YOU!!!
Thanks mate! Good luck, stay safe :)
Love the rematches, clear, positive and digestible. I've just gotten back into the hobby and I send these to friends (only to those who have expressed any interest) to see if I can further hook 'em.
Keep up the great work :)
Thanks Andrew! Good luck converting your pals ;)
These are seriously the best battle reports! the voice over commentary is awesome, really helps to know what is going on and why decisions are made. I love it way more than a simple recording of the match, and I bet it lets you and your opponent talk a bit more freely while playing as well! Really fun to see you play games with your minis and get to see all the awesome projects you do.
Yeah definitely, and we can also talk about how to make the fight more interesting, help each other with tactics, rules, etc. Otherwise it's just 3 hours of me saying "ummmm", haha
Amongst the best batrep makers out there, keep it up!
Thanks so much!
I don't have the slightest clue to what is happening but I am thoroughly entertained and appriciate the care and effort that goes into this kind of game. Mad respect to you and your dedication to your hobby.
I seriously love these small skirmish style battle reports. Keep em coming!
Will do! :)
23:40 you dont suffer perils of the warp when doing deny the witch test
Yes! We could have tried it, you're right. Still very unlikely, but then again, so was rolling 4 6s in the last game, haha
500pts is perfect. love these
Thanks David!
The most understable and nice Battle Reports in UA-cam. By far.
Wow, thanks so much!
Again a great batrep!
...and again I would love to see such reports more often on your channel - the narration combined with the small scale game make these a pleasure to watch!
Cheers mate! :)
Top notch reports. Fantastic editing makes all the difference in the world
Yes, yes, YES!!! ❤️❤️❤️ seeing these skirmish batreps. Easy to follow and super-helpful for us 40k newcomers.
I know a lot of care and effort goes into making these so THANK YOU massively....... Keep them coming!
Suggestion for your next skirmish batrep: can you make it a 750 pointer? More Ork kontent is always welcome!
Thanks so much! Yeah, we've toyed with the idea of doing a little "escalation" points-wise, let's see what happens :)
To echo other comments, i have to say i really enjoy your bat reps. For context, my interest in wargaming is the modeling/ painting aspect, i tend to skim white dwarf bat reps and mostly avoid youtube's offerings.
Yours are quite easy to follow and your explanations make it understandable even for an ignorant like me.
Love your understated humor as well. Jeff's demise was quite poignant 😉
Jeff, we shall remember him. Also, thank you! :)
I love the shorter battle reports, very easy to follow and understand everything. Fantastic editing. Looking forward to the next episode. Keep up the good work.
I cant wait until you have like 20 of these videos. I travel for work and I love just listening to them all when trying to sleep at the hotels.
We'll keep making more, don't worry! :)
I love your battle reports so much! Great cinematography, you explain everything on a beginner level, and loveee that the videos are short as far as battle reports go! Thank you so much! I hope you make more
I'll admit, the thing I dislike the most about batreps on UA-cam by major channels is all the panning away, roleplaying, screaming and "banter". Love it when I'm there playing but it's really off putting when I'm just watching for me personally. Your narration is engaging and you still give the video a friendly vibe without being overbearing. Really good mate, I'll watch these whenever they're out.
Thanks so much! Yeah, I know a lot depends on whether or not you like the people actually playing the game, haha.
@@MidwinterMinis also I was wondering, any chance of a low point 30k batrep? Even with proxy 40k Marines, I've always been interested in playing it and a 30 minute roundup would be a really good place to give myself and others a taste. The title of '30 minutes of 30k' even writes itself. Haha
Instantly subscribed. Love the format!
I just love those battle reports, those low point games, your editing and overall style of making those videos makes them soooo enjoyable to watch. Although they're short and every time I'm left craving for more
Revisiting this video two years later was not a mistake;beautifully edited and I hope to see the series start to return
Love these small battles! You all do a great job explaining everything, which makes it much better to digest. I’m also trying to teach some friends to play and this is a huge help!
It was these videos that got me back into 40k again, one day I was bored, this popped into my recommended, and it got me going again. And I just want to say thank you, thank you for getting me back and thank you for the fun I've had. Keep making these videos and I hope they inspire more people to try to play it.
Watched all four of your BRs and must say they're great! Easy to follow, good moves and not that dragged out that many BR can be. Hope you keep them coming, both 500pts and more.
Your battle reports are perfect. I love how you actually say what we're looking for for each dice roll and specifying each phase is great
I love these short, fun, easy-to-understand Battle Reports! I’m into the lore but I’ve never played tabletop, so you made it entertaining even for me!
These are the best reports I’ve seen on UA-cam. All killer no filler with character and clear, complete and concise visuals.
Love watching battle reports from you guys, would love for more videos of that type when you get the chance, no one else explains what is going on as well as you guys do, makes it much more interesting, well done guys!
These 500 point battle are awesome! I'd love to see much more in the future.
Gotta say, I love these battle reports! Easy to watch and entertaining. Seen some comments about people wanting you to do larger battles... Keep doing what you're doing!
I was looking forward to this! Thank you for the part two!
Thanks for watching :)
Your battle reports are so well done and entertaining! Much love.
These are brilliant videos, im considering getting back in the hobbies and starting a catachan army I wanted to start years ago and these mini battle reports are perfect and have amazing editing. Thanks so much!
Haven't played 40K in about a decade but this is bringing back all those feelings I used to get when I played this game back in the day, love the format of your battle reports and the painting guides are just nice to watch! Please keep making this great content!
Thank you so much Toby! Glad you're enjoying our stuff :)
Yes! You’re battle reports are my favorite ones to watch. So glad you’re still releasing them.
We'll keep making them, it's a nice change of pace from painting videos :)
I usually find battlereports tedious to watch, but these are short, nicely edited and charmingly commented.
Oh, thanks so much! :)
FANTASTIC battle reports! These have really been fun to watch :)
Subscribed for these amazing low point games. As well as with all those explanations to where you get your dice values help me emensly to learn
Love these smaller and shorter batreps and the coverage of each phase. Keep em comin!
I love these quick battlereports and your style of play. So I signed up for your patreon. Keep it coming!
Thanks so much for making easily followable batreps!
As someone just getting into the game, this type of video is SO helpful. I really hope to see more of these slower more explanatory videos!
These are excellent. I'm learning to play and this is super useful, easy to follow along and got me understanding more and more about the game. THANK YOU!!
No problem Adam!
I love these BR's. Great intro, filming, and amazing commentary throughout game. You really capture it well.
Thank you Gustaf! :)
Your battle reports are the best ive seen anyone do, keep up the great work.
I always enjoy your battle reports dude, you explain everything really well, they're well produced, it's always clear what you're both doing and everything is explained well. Keep up the good work! Would love to see a small campaign with these small games in the future!
We're definitely toying with the idea of a campaign!
Love your battle reports, they are so much better than many others. Please do many more.
hey guy, I want to thank you for releasing this when you did. I'm super bummed that adepticon was canceled, but this really made my day today. thanks to you and penny and everyone else that puts these together for us. Your awesome
No problem, mate! Stay safe, good health, I have a feeling a lot more things will be cancelled this year, but stay positive and enjoy yourself! :)
Love these battle reports; keep them coming! Question: What battlemap are you using? one of the best urban patterns i've seen in some time, would love to get that!
Thank you! I bought it a while ago from Deep Cut Studios, it's called the "Gotham" design :)
i didn't know much about Warhammer, but i been marathoning your videos. This game is fascinating.
I think these are the best battle reports I've seen so far. As a beginner I love how every step is well explained.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!
love these battle reports, short with lots of explanation when needed. keep 'em goin!
These battle reports are great easy to watch and just brilliant
These games are so fun to watch, wish you put more out :)
Best battle reports available! Love your work!
Cheers Fredrik!
you are the guys that got me into 40k and orks
love you guys
I really like your batreps. Its somehow relaxing, not as rushed as some others.
To me it sounds like you guys care about your plastic dudes, which i also like :)
You have to make more battle reports exactly in this format, please. Fun, quick and explicit descriptions of whats occurring. Subscribing now
I would never be able to afford any of the games workshop stuff neither do I have any friends who are interested in 40k but this show enabled me to at least witness some matches. Very cool. Thanks for doing this ♥️. Emperor protects!
I really want more of those fun 500 points battle report. Keep up the good work .
We'll make more, don't worry! :)
Ten seconds in if Jeff the gene stealer dose not show up I swear to god
Edit: I DEMAND A REMATCH
Yall make this very interesting. I'm locked in to the battle . More more more 🤘🏼
Great batlle reports. I am coming back to WH40K after few years of break and still learning the details of the 8th edition and that helps a lot! Please continue with this beautiful work!
I have researched a lot about WH40K lore but never touched the boardgame until now. Your guide and battle rep are very helpful, keep up the good work
Now this is fucking cool!!!!!
I've never seen a miniature battle before mostly because of gatekeeping but wow is this amazingly cool!
Gonna browse your channel for more of this because it's definitely worth watching and a perfect was to past the time during quarantine!
Added to the fact that I just now started to watch and consume Warhammer 40k content after knowing about it for years but never diving in!
Thanks so much for the video and I hope that you dude's are staying safe!
Such high quality battle reports and easy to watch as they aren't 4 hours long, keep it up
Jeff is back!, we love that little guy
My armies are pretty small points-wise, and I think its great seeing smaller battle reports. I also really like that you take the time to tell us what's happening and why.
You can still have LOADS of fun with small armies! :)
I know you guys have like 3 battle reports but they're still my favorite ones I've seen
Haha, well, that's still great to know! It would be bad if it was your least favourite ;)
@@MidwinterMinis haha true, well I hope to see more soon c:
he always says ''wich does'' he always explains, its so comprehensible and clean its just wow! He also replies to practically every comment, how is he so great? it must take so much work :O
Everytime i see your battle reports in my recommend i get excited
Woo! We get excited putting them out, pretty nerve-wracking!
You guys have been a wonderful introduction into the world of warhammer 40k. Decided to look up some gameplay after watching the Astartes video, and you have made this very fascinating. Still don't understand it all, but I am looking forward to learn.
That was really entertaining, thank you.
I like the small scale quite a lot. :)
Love these 500 point games please do more
wish you did more of these, great for learning :)
Finally part 2. Those reports are a real gold among other battle reports, keep the quality content going.
Wow, that's very kind! Thank you
@@MidwinterMinis One thing to add, 2 weeks ago i bought "Know no fear" set, mainly convinced by your 500 points battle reports. Today i finnished my first space marine patrol detachment. Once again, thanks and keep up the good work!
Really easy to keep track of everything, real chill to watch
Fantastic job again guys! I look forward to some bigger battles in the future. These 500 pts battles are great for noobs like to me keep up with and follow with ease.
Glad you find the format easy to follow :)
Hey, just found your channel this week. Really enjoying these battle report videos. Haven’t played in probably 20 years, but loving the videos for nostalgia - particularly the old starter set unboxing. Would love to see a battle report featuring my old army the Blood Angels and Commander Dante! Keep up the good work!
Really good battle reports! More please!
Definitely love this format. Apart from anything else it is making me double check my rules and the battles seem tighter with so few turns.
I'm thinking of getting into the hobby and your channel is my favourite! I binge watched most of your videos!
Really glad you're enjoying our stuff, Gabriele! :)
@@MidwinterMinis thank you for the great work you all do Guy, Penny and Ant too :D keep it up
Oh hell yes I thought at first this was just UA-cam showing me the first one again! Excited, nice work!
It knows you too well! :)
I really like the battle reports for these lower point matches. Quick, easy to follow, and overall something incredibly enjoyable for a newer player. I hope we get more battles with the synthwave tyranids because I'm now heavily invested in Jeff's story.
I really love those small skirmish like battle report, it's way easier to follow than 2k points armies and we feel close to the miniatures, every single model has value and every death tear us appart (even if it goes against the fluff where life has no value). Moreover it make the understanding easier, plus your limpid explanations make the total really enjoyable ! To be honest I watched it 3 times.
(sorry for my English, not my native language)
I have bought my 1st Warhammer 40k models yesterday. I play Tyranids! Thanks for those videos, I don't even know rules well yet but it's super interesting and fun to watch! I want to see more!
Great choice! Awesome fun to make and paint, and they're a challenge on the tabletop!
In the grimdarkness of the far future, there is only WAAAGH!
lovely little battlereport. I remember a friends party where everyone brought a 500 pt army and it was glorious. I should definitely play this format a lot more!
Thanks for the fun and informative games Midwinter minis! I´ve always been interested in warhammer 40k but never knew where to start because we unfortunatly don´t have it where I live (moreover it would be absurdly expensive in my local currency, think 5 to 6 times more than what you guys pay without any additional costs) and your videos are both extremelly helpful for new people as well as entertaining to watch!
All the best to you guys and subbing to see more awesome battles in the future! :D
