@@michelelombardi2944 they could also to lord of war fights. 1v1 baneblade vs knight 1v1 astarties super heavy tank vs chaos knight. That sorta stuff. Might be fun to watch if a bit short of videos
Hopefully in the near future there can be a Combat patrol box tournament since they are supposed to be 500 pts, the start collecting point values varied too much, and also Deathwatch or BA, SW can be included this time >< instead of half roster of chaos.
Now this is the content I have been dying to see. There's just something about this lads battle reports that make them just so enjoyable to sit back and watch.
NOBODY PANIC! The Start Collecting Deathmatches are back! I actually loved the first two of these so much. It’s actually what convinced me to take the plunge and get my first miniatures, as well as binge watch every single other video from MWM!
I've just gotten into warhammer and a series like this with each of the start collecting boxs I think is a great way to see what sort of set I'd want to get
We hope you enjoyed the game! Please don't post spoilers in the comments :) Did we mess up any rules? Well, we might have, we play games to have fun after all. Here's a few little mistakes and questions that people haven noticed so far: "You can't use a Command Re-roll for Morale tests!" You're right! You can only force an auto-pass with Insane Bravery for 2CP. Would it have changed the course of the game? Always a possibility. Were those "illegal" rolls entertaining though? YES! Don't forget to play for fun! "You called the Plaguebearers "Poxwalkers" sometimes. How do you plead?" GUILTY. "Disgustingly Resilient doesn't work like that anymore!" If this was Death Guard, you'd be right, but these Nurgle Daemons are using their 8th edition codex in this game, so we did it right. "... but you still can't use a Command Re-roll for Disgustingly Resilient saves!" You are correct, but I failed that one anyway, no harm done, I'm just an idiot ;) "You forgot about some "to hit/to wound" re-rolls" Yes. We did most of them, but when there are so many re-rolls, it's hard to keep track. Also, sometimes we did them in the game, but didn't narrate them. Toward the end, we stopped narrating all the minutiae of each roll to keep the pace of the video nice and tight.
Guy fought with his poxwalkers then his nurglings. After the mawloc had fought then Guy should have only been able to fight with one unit before the genestealers, not two. Also prettying certain you can’t advance when you fall back
@@TheOriginalDruidfish not true. All genestealer and broodlord units have that, regardless of hive fleet. Kraken is roll three pick the highest for advance, and the ability to charge after falling back
The only bad thing about this series is the wait in between battles. Seriously its great to watch, short and to the point coupled with some great edits to cut out the fluff makes for a great watching experience
Gg. You made a few mistakes so let me point them out for future games. - the plague bearers cant "choose" to make a morale save unless they have lost a model this turn - they things a CP can be used to re-roll have been limited in 9th and dont include morale or attrition tests. - flying units cant fall back and act as normal on 9th. Fun game and great video guys!
This series is honestly such a refreshment from the normal battle reports on youtube. Nice and short, brilliantly concise and well spoken commentary. The best part about it is the noob friendly army sizes. If you haven't already found a guest to play Tau I'd be honored to do that for you. Thumbs up for another great vid Guy! Keep 'em coming :)
The paint job on those plague bearers is amazing. Honestly I missed everything you said after the first 10 minutes cause I was just staring at those eyes
I love these battle reports! But at the rate they are going all the start collecting are going to be phased out and replaced with the "combat patrol" collections. Which is cool I guess. You can always start another tournament and work on those!
watched this with my boys, and this was their original army choices when they first got into the hobby. watching this was the closest we've come to cheering on a sports match. awesome
Mate, the upcoming Genestealer Cults vs. Drukhari is gonna be an absolute SLAUGHTER with the new Drukhari codex, lmao. Really enjoyed this one. Nurgle models are so damn good at sticking on objectives and just REFUSING to bugger off.
Yeah, when the series was first announced, as a DE player I was like "We won't make it past round 1. Wyches suck". Sufficient to say that 9th has changed a few things...
Have you considered doing an age of sigmar collecting box tourney when the 40k start collecting tourney is over? Not only would it be interesting to see you get into sigmar, it would help us 40k fanboys see how the army’s play, as well as more awesome battle reports!
Nurglings' unique version of disgustingly resilient ("squishable") was FAQ'd to not work against mortal wounds. So that turn 1 Smite from the Broodlord would have just done all three wounds.
The FAQ didn't change anything. It just clarified it. Nurgling Disgustingly Resilient only works with *attacks* with a *damage characteristic* of 1. So it doesn't work against psychic powers, and while I'm not sure it came up in this video, it also wouldn't work on anything with random damage (even if you rolled a 1, since the *characteristic* is d3 or d6 or whatever)
I've been waiting ages for this! Your small-scale battle reports are so accessible and relaxing to watch - tuning in isn't a two-hour commitment. Always a pleasure to watch!
I really appreciate that you quickly narrate your strategic thoughts and also reasons for the rolls, it's really helpful to learn and also means that you care about the roll results. Great editing, great pace, really well done.
Hi guys Morale can not anymore be rerolled in 9th 🙂 Neither can DR as it is not a "Saving throw" And neither can Combat Attrition and you can't advance when falling back. Enjoyed it either way but the outcome might have changed a lot.
Also they got the falling back rules wrong, the plague drone shouldn't have been able to shoot either, the only units that can without special rules are titanic units.
Yay! Finally the Start Collecting battle continues, thank you very much Guy!! I'll continue to support you and hope the series continues too, probably the best entry-level battle report series on UA-cam for my newcomer friends! :)
Guy, your batreps and this tournament are soooo much better than the alternatives. Something about the way you narrate and edit them without getting obnoxious makes them insanely easy and enjoyable yo watch. I know it must be rough with the lockdown right now, but I hope you get the proper battle reports going when things stabilize!
This series is excellent! I hope you can get back to it soon! I find this better than some "how to play warhammer 40k" instructional videos because it puts all of the components together in an easy-to-digest context, shows how you might play with a common first purchase, and cuts out most of the banter that turns a 30min battle report into an hour. Looking forward to the next one!
This is how battle reports are done. I also love seeing how the board gets more character after each encounter (blood spatter, evidence of explosions, etc.). I look forward to this series continuing!
Fantastic series! Love all of these. The Mawloc is so underwhelming. The Trygon or T-prime are both really good since points changes and that kit builds into any of those!
Very glad that this series is restarting! I'm a big fan of the in depth army presentation and strategy talk at the start, I think it ads a lot and is great for 40k noobs such as myself
I love these little battles! It really helps me get a feel for how the game plays, in an easy-to-watch format! Its well put together, going through all the battle stages without the tangential chatter that drags out other battle reports. Two thumbs up! 👍 👍
This series is my favorite thing you do. Even though ive been playing for a little while i still struggle with some of the rules so i really enjoy how you explain everything thats happening. also I was able to show this to my friends who are just starting to help them learn!
With only 2 of those plaguebearers left it was a waste casting miasma of pestilence. Wouldve been better to pump out some extra mortal wounds on the mawloc to get it off that objective. That being said this is some of the best battle report content on UA-cam, defo up there with play on tabletop. Keep it up man!
Omg so excited for this, just started the hobby last month and tyranids are my favorite race. Can't wait to see the start collecting boxed set in action.
Yes! so glad you made the next episode of this tournament. Your battle explanation is also very easy for people to follow whats going on. Cant wait for the next one!
I've been waiting for this tournament to continue for so long! Glad to see it back and hope you feel refreshed. Love the content and it got me back into playing.
I think that turn 2 fight was done incorrectly. Plaguebearers fought back after the charging unit and then it should have been the genestealers fighting before the nurglings did. Models with the fly keyword also cannot advance after falling back (without a special rule) like what the plaguedrone did in turn 3.
Love the start collecting deathmatch series, one of my favourite takes on the battle report. You could have started the Mawloc underground and had him rise from the deep behind the enemy line? - that may have helped with the objective taking
Yes!! Clear explanations and great quality as usual. A couple mistake I did notice: You can’t advance when you fall back. Did this with the plague drones After all charging units have attacked, you alternate units to attack starting with the player who’s turn it is. I think a few times you started with the other player. I’m sure none of this affected the game. I love this series keep them coming!
There were plenty of errors that absolutely would have impacted the game, in my opinion. #1 of these is not being able to CP re-roll morale. Nurglings should have fled Turn 1. No Nurglings blocking the Genestealers on their first turn would have made for a different game. A Plague Drone should have fled similarly at one point. Plague Drones advancing and charging gave them almost 20" of movement, the ability to fight, and positioning to block the Genestealers, all of which shouldn't have been able to happen in a single turn.
Only GW could make a monster as cool and terrifying looking as a Mawloc, whose sole purpose is to get up close and personal and wreck shit in CC......and then give it a degrading 4+ WS.
Gah! You can't advance on a fall back move. Between that and the re-rolled morale tests, sadly the rules mistakes had a big impact on the outcome of that game.
Despite the errors it's a good video. I know playing a faction you've never played before isn't easy and Guy has a lot going on between the huge channel growth and his home life. While this wasn't my favorite video, I still quite enjoyed it. Not every video has to be a masterpiece, we're only human after all.
I think what makes theses battle reports so enjoyable, and I believe unique to this channel, is that we've seen almost every step of the hobby journey that brought it all together, from the creation of the lovely arena to the sexy cabochon eyed nurgle demons. When you say that the video took 30-40 hours to make, it's only half the truth, because in reality it's been a journey going back more than 8 months that we've all shared in. Hats off to that Mr Guy!
Hey Guy! I love the Warhammer content you make-especially this series! You've inspired me to get involved with my local gaming community and start painting my first miniatures ever. With your tutorials I'll surely show up battle ready next month. Keep up the great work!
I've just discovered your channel and it's AMAZING. Thanks for all the retro waves as well, it sure brings a smile to remember the gold old times. cheers!
Pretty hollow victory for Nurgle Daemons given all the rules mistakes were in their favour. Without the nurglngs holding up the genestealers for an extra turn, there's a very good chance the plaguebearers don't survive past turn 2. Even more so given the plague drones shouldn't be advancing and charging, so the plague bearers would have eaten another round of attacks. And once the plague bearers are dead it's mop up time for the 'nids.
This is my problem with this exactly. There were some errors on both sides, but in aggregate Nurgle was disproportionately advantaged over Tyranids. The most severe errors greatly benefited them. It should not have even been close. Even fun games should be fair.
Every start collecting game, could you tell us how many points each army is? It'd be easier then going into battlescribe myself and finding the points afterwards.
I love these battle reports. I feel like 500 points is enough to make the video entertaining and just doing the voices separately from the video makes it so much better. It's awesome (also sorry for my english😁)
Oooh! That title is radical, dude; to the max! Those pesky little Nuglings did better than I expected. It seems kind of odd that Genestealers only get one wound each; maybe they'll bet a boost in a new codex. The Eyebearers look so cool. This a really fun battle report. Ant has such nice hands.
I love your battle reports because everything is explained and your intentions are clear which helps me learn the game BUT please invest in a Dice tray with a fixed camera over the top. So many out of shot rolls!
Honestly this is my favorite content that you've made soo far. Please don't stop after the start collecting tourny is over.
this part took sooo long :( it is probably not that popular and harder to make
Maybe they can begin with the New Combat Patrols, when there will be all out.
Still, this got plenty of time.... i was afraid it will never get out
@@michelelombardi2944 yes, I want a combat patrol tourney so bad!
@@michelelombardi2944 they could also to lord of war fights. 1v1 baneblade vs knight 1v1 astarties super heavy tank vs chaos knight. That sorta stuff. Might be fun to watch if a bit short of videos

So true I rewatch all of the marine batreps every week
@@MidwinterMinis please do a combat patrol tournament next!
I just appreciate a batrep that is shorter than my attention span
Yeah, Battle Reports really are just so much more watchable with a tight edit. Really don't enjoy the rambly nature of most batrep formats.
This is a lot to think about.
This video is worth watching even just for the updated blood splatter
NOBODY PANIC! The Start Collecting Deathmatches are back! I actually loved the first two of these so much. It’s actually what convinced me to take the plunge and get my first miniatures, as well as binge watch every single other video from MWM!

Also prettying certain you can’t advance when you fall back
the tyranids shouldn't have been able to advance and charge towards the end, that's a kraken ability, not a gorgon one.
@@TheOriginalDruidfish not true. All genestealer and broodlord units have that, regardless of hive fleet. Kraken is roll three pick the highest for advance, and the ability to charge after falling back

Nurglings: "No."

I think it’s most likely because the uk has been in lockdown for 90 plus days.

Also, Plague Drones have no ability that lets them advance and charge.
About the 🦟 isn't he playing them as 8th making it totally viable? Not familiar with the rules...
How are Miss Midwinter and the twins ?
I am exited lets get this show on the road
Penny's doing great! Twins are on the way! Expected in a few weeks :)
I would 100% believe that GW began the “Combat Patrol” starter boxes just to make your awesome tournament less relevant.
They announced their new boxes the day after I put out the first Deathmatch... not that I'm bitter about it.

The battle damage added to the map after each round is an incredible touch. Love the explosion scorch from that spider exploding in the previous ep.
That was genuinely one of the best games I’ve seen in a while. Super tense! Well-played, Papa Nurgle will be pleased.
Ant choosing to not reroll the 5+ fnp spell on his genestealers but then try and reroll one of their saves kills me.
Fantastic work from Midwinter on these 500 point battles. I love the idea and execution. 10/10
Love the start collecting deathmatch series, one of my favourite takes on the battle report. You could have started the Mawloc underground and had him rise from the deep behind the enemy line? - that may have helped with the objective taking
This is my favorite battle report channel other than play on tableto
Yes!! Clear explanations and great quality as usual.
A couple mistake I did notice:
You can’t advance when you fall back. Did this with the plague drones
After all charging units have attacked, you alternate units to attack starting with the player who’s turn it is. I think a few times you started with the other player.

Another great fun start collecting box battle report!
Cheers Guy, Ant and Penny
Isn't scoring for the player who goes second done at the end of the last turn according to the latest FAQ? So tyranids should have won?
Great Battle Rep. Two minor points from Turn 1: Deny the Witch has a 24" range and Command Re-rolls can't be used on Morale tests.
Gah! You can't advance on a fall back move. Between that and the re-rolled morale tests, sadly the rules mistakes had a big impact on the outcome of that game.
Despite the errors it's a good video. I know playing a faction you've never played before isn't easy and Guy has a lot going on between the huge channel growth and his home life. While this wasn't my favorite video, I still quite enjoyed it. Not every video has to be a masterpiece, we're only human after all.

Got to tell you, this is one of the most entertaining 40k video series I've seen so far on UA-cam.
Every start collecting game, could you tell us how many points each army is? It'd be easier then going into battlescribe myself and finding the points afterwards.
depends on how you equip them.
This series has got me back into painting every time a new video comes out
I'm really not a big fan of battle reports. But ... here I sit, nearly 45 minutes later and thinking: Wait, what, it's already over?
Finally! I absolutely love this series. Thank you so much for doing this.
liked it hours before it premiers, this has made my day MUCH better!
This is my favorite 40k series, ty for all the work that goes into it!
Best bat reps on UA-cam! Such a welcome change from all the motion sickness inducing shakey cams everyone else does 🙌👏👏👏
These are by far the most pleasent battlereports there are to watch! Cant wait for more of these
Ive been rewatching and greatly enjoying these battles but this one was just pure ptsd from the memories of disgustingly resilient
I'm digging how blood and explosions are appearing after the previous games. Nice touch!
i really hope we get a revival of this type of content on this channel
I absolutely adore these! Keep 'em coming, you know, such that you can mom and dad of twins in the Nurgling of the Empire.
I love these battle reports. I feel like 500 points is enough to make the video entertaining and just doing the voices separately from the video makes it so much better. It's awesome (also sorry for my english😁)
so glad that you continued it! been waiting for it and checking almost everyday! love this! and you are great!
Oooh! That title is radical, dude; to the max! Those pesky little Nuglings did better than I expected. It seems kind of odd that Genestealers only get one wound each; maybe they'll bet a boost in a new codex. The Eyebearers look so cool.
This a really fun battle report. Ant has such nice hands.
Thankyou for another amazing video, me and my friend have been waiting for this one and are so happy!!
I just love that intro, I cannot stop my body to move to those beats!! Please release the album on Spotify if it's not there already.
Awesome battle report. Looking forward to the next one. Keep up the good work.
I love your battle reports because everything is explained and your intentions are clear which helps me learn the game BUT please invest in a Dice tray with a fixed camera over the top. So many out of shot rolls!
God these battle reports are always so amazing. Well done mate.
OHH? ITS BACK?? YESSSS SWEAT MOTHER OF JESUS ITS HERE!!!
IT'S BACK BABY
@@MidwinterMinis It's on!
Assembling some necrons while waiting for the Premier!
Love this content! Hope the rest of the tourney comes around soon
All the other battle report channels, guitars, drums, battle music. Midwinter Minis, funky as retro console game music.
