Oh, sweet another faction identity video :D I love these. Just played against the 100k for the first time yesterday (with my City states) - lost badly thanks to me own mistakes... I HAVE to learn to keep my giant a bit more back in general ;) But also I must not forget the lesson that I can sometimes just not attack. I made the right call by charging a unit of men at arms with the giant, but then I wiped them out with an attack without thinking to much. As soon as my opponent pulled the stands off the table I went: "Wait... why did I attack here? My giant had nothing in range for the spellcasting and I've just cleared the way for your Ashen Dawn to charge the giant. Have I kept the men at arms around they would have blocked them!". Had I not attacked and if (big IF - again lessons about being too agressive with big unit where learned) I got initiative next round I could have wiped out the men at arms, charged into the ashen dawn to hopefully slow them down a little and put a big damaging spell into one of two archer regiments behind them (my assumption was that aura of death wouldn't have done much, since I assumed the archers would get activated before the ashen dawn and would have gotten rid of my giant from afar). It ends with the same dead giant, but the ashen dawn would be a bit farther back, maybe I would have lucked into a damage or two and I think there would have been a good chance at some serious damage to the archers (which where a problem for a lot of my other units, so there was value in that play)
Oh, I assume this was filmed before we got the last catalogue from Para Bellum, which states (sadly in written form only no pictures yet), that we'll be getting an angel for 100k :) I don't play them, buuut I have some Old dominion stuff and maybe, if I'm inspired by the model, I might use it as a proxy for the fallen divinity
John's little shimmy to the intro had me laughing pretty much immediately!
First! Loving the series!

Ah, the current elephant in the room... not the mahut, but ashen dawn!
