Great camerawork, great explanations and understanding of the rules, and no chat feed and narrator to distract from the game. Best battle reports on TH-cam!
I was looking for this question - I haven't played 4.0 yet but I doubt there were even 3 guys in range. Did they change melee range/targeting besides the blanket 3" reach?
Was the guy playing stormcast quite new to the game? Was super weird to fight with the jaws instead of Krondys. Could have kept the big guys tied in with the jaws if he’d activated in the correct order.
As someone playing this list with a lord relictor and vanguard raptors instead of vexillors and other foot units; it works just fine. LIfeswarm is enough healing with rally, the main consideration is having more bodies *is* nice, but the real benefit of three big dragons is that each one is a threat. Keeping them all close for the vex is a bit limiting.
Im super impressed with the dragon list. On missions with more central objectives that you could really bring the full weight of the dragons to bear i think it could almost feel oppressive
@BattleshockWargaming you all are definitely the best group of people putting out battle reports. You all know the rules QUITE well for so many armies. It's an informative game for the viewing if theyre learning how to play the army you happen to be showcasing. Thank you for so many videos! ❤️🔥🙏
good video but you made a mistake on two of your gray seer in battle round 2, both of your gray seer roll 13 on your roll and you spell is auto cast and it cannot be Unbound and you did not roll a d3 damage on your gray seer.
i was watching for the 13 the whole time and still missed it!? man my parents are going to be really disappointed in me when they learn i cant count lol. Skaven are coming back soon so i will make sure to really stay on top of those dice
@@BattleshockWargaming I played it as 13+ for a couple of games and kept killing off my grey seer till I reread that there is no plus on it like a idiot lol
How did Stormcast hold the top middle objective in turn 3? Didn't you bring back any rats with d3? You had 9 on the objective after combat, so would have just needed 1 to keep hold of it no?
Top of battle round 3 skaven owned 7 of the 8 points. Stormcast was able to take back the center objective from skaven at the bottom of 3 with karazi if i remember correctly he was getting a bonus to his OC from the Banner man
Those Rattling gun weapons teams should hopefully do you better than the Rat Ogors. At an event I went to recently Ogors did me alright (although knew having more Clanrats over them would have been better overall). Think I just rolled very hot when they got into combat though. A shame Skreech got punked there. Love his buffs for the army and usually hits fairly hard in combat, but with save rolls like that what are you going to do? Great game/video as always guys!
@@TheSirMime Ratling guns are wildly powerful. I honestly felt so bad using them because I had to roll so many dice and then just fully lifted a block of pink horrors. Hope my opponent had fun, but that single round of full shooting felt really oppressive.
@AudioAnarchy I honestly can't believe they have crit 2 hits on top of how many potential shots you can roll for. Managing to get lucky with the Skyre roll to get them wounding on 3's and up to rend 2 sounds brutal.
@@AudioAnarchy I felt really bad in this game where both my rattling warpblasters went absolutely crazy. At one point failed a battle tactic because I tried to soften up a unit of Varanguard before charging onto the objective. Ended up with the full rend 2 with about 33 shots. Completely wiped out the unit of 3 from full health and didn't even blow it's self up afterwards.

For flag ability you have to roll dice to see how many model can u heal and boost +3 cs. On turn 5 u just heal 2 dragon without rolling (pick a unit dice)
i think 20 is enough alot of units are going to struggle to do 20 wounds and if they die you bring back 10 they are one of the most effective screens in the game
I did at some point... but it either I didn't announce it properly or it was during one to the timelines that was lost due to our audio issues making us re-shoot.
They said so on army introduction. And what else would you want to take? Strike first on the drakesworn is good - and a 5++ on 6 wounds of prosecutors doesn't seem helpful - getting to fight with 2 dragons on your turn first, 2/3 of the time is good
Just reseaves my preordret skaven stuff ! Weapon team ! Need 1 more to make all 12 or 15 variants ! 3 of each ! But why is the clawlord on giant mouldrat a exclusiv to big boks and also the minigun ?! And only the minigun is good ! That bullshit !
the weapons teams are the things im the most excited for the skaven book. i was just finishing paiting the 6 ratling guns yesterday. excited to get them on the table
Not enough shooting for Skaven, I think. It's hard for them to put out the damage they need to without their guns. Even the Rogors and Stormfiends, who are extremely good at putting out the hurt, just can't quite do it alone. (This is my theory for why the dragons lived so long). Good god those dragons, though. How many points is three of them???
Approximately 1500 points just for the dragons, that is the reason why he has so few other units. It is fun to see how a big horde army and army with fewer numbers but huge units fare against each other. Watching this gives me the temptation to build a dragon stormcast army myself.
your right, the differences between the lists makes this an interesting matchup. can all those rats hang out against the dragon onslaught. do the storm fiends have the damage output to make the difference game went all 5 battle rounds which means we really had to work for it
@@BattleshockWargaming honestly, though, I think it made for a more fun game. Sometimes I feel bad bringing all my Skaven shooting and just blasting whole units straight to hell. Not crazy fun for the other person.
Ratlingguns are the best Thing in the book Not stormfiends 🙂 18d6 Attacks 3/3 (all Out Attack/skyre buff) exploding 6s -1 rend 1 damage. Super insane. 3 claw stepping ahead them to keep then save. Super insane. Sad that Rat ogors got auch a Bad Profile.
I want rat ogors to be good but they are just so paper thin and dont hit hard enough. Ratling guns are getting painted now super excited to just blast everything with a gazillion shots
You have super good camerawork. It is very nice to see the battling units up close. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much!
Great camerawork, great explanations and understanding of the rules, and no chat feed and narrator to distract from the game. Best battle reports on TH-cam!
Fun report! That Drakesworn Templar model was fantastically-painted.
The bad Moons orbit was a great advice!
I am glad you liked that podcast. I was just listening to their most recent episode yesterday
@@BattleshockWargaming already killed the first 3 :D
What are those connector things for keeping the clanrats together? That's genius!! I'm assuming they're 3d printed?
How did the stormfiends get Rend 3? Also Theo werent all in combat Range with the Dragon.
Yeah, it looked like there were only three guys in range. Way too many attacks into the Stardrake
They had anti-monster as part of the General's regiment so they got more rend on the charge.
I was looking for this question - I haven't played 4.0 yet but I doubt there were even 3 guys in range. Did they change melee range/targeting besides the blanket 3" reach?
@@justins4705 all units now have a three inch threat/reach in melee
The dragon list looks really fun
It is man, any time you get a big ol dragon on the table your going to have a good time!
Is David okay? Haven't seen him on a bat rep for a while? 😢
he has been off for a couple weeks but he will be back soon in a tzeentch video were he takes on the deepkin
Hope he is well? Love from the community.
Where is vizzek?! I was excited to see new models!
On the desk to be built. It came in the mail same day as filming

Huh, I don't know what I was thinking there. In my defense I was operating on very little sleep. But yeah that was a mistake.
Super fun battle report, I was hoping the dragons were going to survive right till the end.
just yeeting clan rats across the table left and right

What are you using to keep track of buffs? I see you writing on something. You using expo markers on tokens?
they are from a copy call broken egg. they are writable tokens that are themed to the 4 grand alliances. and very affordable
www.brokenegggames.com/age-of-sigmar-compatibles/age-of-sigmar-writeables.html
Ah yes, hitting on 3's wounding on 2's. Also known as "doing 0 damage".
Balanced as all things should be
At 21:19 what flail is that on the rat ogre in the top left near the Liberators?
just a cool fail. Some of those are rat ogor prints from before we got new models
For flag ability you have to roll dice to see how many model can u heal and boost +3 cs. On turn 5 u just heal 2 dragon without rolling (pick a unit dice)
whoops! thanks for checking. Good thing that was the only time it mattered.
@@ElvishShellfish yea. Btw it was good game
@@TheDeathbrlnger Thanks! It was a lot of fun to film.
Alright I can't decide between units of 40 or 20 clan rats. What do you guys think?
i think 20 is enough alot of units are going to struggle to do 20 wounds and if they die you bring back 10 they are one of the most effective screens in the game
Can someone tell me where to find that podcast? I legit can't find it on google

Did SCE not use Finest Hour at all?
I did at some point... but it either I didn't announce it properly or it was during one to the timelines that was lost due to our audio issues making us re-shoot.
Karazi was finest hour when he went into the rat ogors. this is why he was still wounding on2s
I don’t think Krondys or Karazai are Extremis units so why take lightning echelon?
They said so on army introduction. And what else would you want to take? Strike first on the drakesworn is good - and a 5++ on 6 wounds of prosecutors doesn't seem helpful - getting to fight with 2 dragons on your turn first, 2/3 of the time is good
Lightning was the only one that would have effected anything in his army. None of the subfactions are really built with this list in mind
Andrew looks like he's been working out
Andrew likes this comment.
Skreetch is a cool model, but he is not good right now. Don't take that lol.

Last battle tactic wouldnt count the 5 clanrats had a total of 6 OC with banner and already owned the last objective so attack on 2 fronts didn’t work
