High Elves vs. Bretonnia Warhammer Old World Battle Report

Thanks for checking out my video! I wanted to try out a format that is different from the other Old World battle reports on TH-cam. This format is much shorter than the 2-3 hour battle reports from livestreams, but hopefully more engaging than the battle reports that use picture slide shows and narration. Let me know what you think! I plan to make more of these videos.
This battle took place on Monday game night at Game Kastle in Santa Clara, CA. We have Spencer's High Elves facing off against Ben's Bretonnians in a Meeting Engagement battle with modified deployment.
For my old viewers accustomed to seeing Dropzone Commander or Zone Raiders content - I'm back into miniatures! Right now I'm playing Warhammer Old World and I plan to produce some Warhammer Old World content going forward.

Good stuff man keep up the great work! I'm with you 💞 can't watch those 2 hour games which are everywhere, much prefer these shorter formats

Thanks! Much appreciated

[@goth84]

Great report!

[@cameronblume5108]

Thank you!

I really enjoyed this. Both thrilling and engaging, great start with a quick explanation from the respective players on how their units were put together and what strategy they had in mind. Made it easier to follow as the turns progressed. The length is perfect, not too short or long. Please do more of these if you have the time and opportunity.

[@cameronblume5108]

Wow thank you for all the praise! Is there anything you would change at all? Here is my current list of things to improve:
- Learn how to spell “Bretonnia” correctly
- Find a table with better lighting so the dice rolls are easier to read
- Better graphic design for the opening thumbnail and screens between turns
- Get a hand-held gyro mount for the camera to reduce shaking.

We've all done the same spelling error, no worries!
Maybe add a designated dice pad/box I've seen quite few utilise that, makes the dice rolls easy to follow!
I think the graphic inserts are fine, but maybe have them to be white, for more readability?
Other than that I think it's fine! Your way of presenting and adding excitement depending on what's going on between the different units on the board is engaging and active, as a viewer I think it's a great success if a battle report can make me feel thrilled and excited over the outcome which yours delivered by a good margin. Cheers!

@@greenleader-vq2px Maybe a little one that I'd put on the table next to whatever is being rolled on? Let me look into that.

[@cameronblume5108]

Sorry for the spelling errors! Looks like there are a few "Brettonia" spellings in there >_

Appreciate the shorter batrep format, the two/three hour unedited ones on TH-cam are not for me.
Just one small criticism: the word is ethereal (ee-thee-ree-al) not etheral. I know it's a small thing but it makes my eye twitch every time it's mispronounced in the video 😂.

[@cameronblume5108]

So good news - I'm about to release another battle report which has the green knight, and in that video I put the emphasis on the second syllable. However just to clarify, are you saying that the first syllable should be a long e, like "ē" in phonetic pronunciation? Because I'm seeing "i" for the first syllable in pronunciation guides.

[@EleshScorn]

@@cameronblume5108 I'll look out for the new video! Thanks for indulging my pedantry 😂, normally it would be a tense high front unrounded vowel sound as in "see" and the in the noun "ether" that ethereal is the adjective of. The "i" that you're seeing in pronunciation guides is likely the international phonetic symbol for the sound I describe here.

[@cameronblume5108]

@@EleshScorn ok bad news, I just did my final pass on the new video, and I mix and match all sorts of pronunciations of "ethereal". I'll try to be a bit more consistent going forward. I also found this youtube video with a series of real-life pronunciations in American English, and it does not quite sound like the first vowel in "ether": th-cam.com/video/f9mi_8nH_ak/w-d-xo.html

And the video is up! Hopefully your eye will be ok =) th-cam.com/video/KWikRzE5kYg/w-d-xo.html

One thing for the high elf general, loremaster is for on foot only so you cant be a loremaster on griffon e

[@cameronblume5108]

Ah, thank you for that catch! Hopefully it didn’t affect our game very much. I think the Prince maybe cast one spell in the entire game? And the Sword of Hoeth probably helped him chop down the peasantry and the prophetess, but probably not too different from a different magic weapon he could have purchased with those points =)

[@punchyMiddleEarth]

Its amazing how many people ignore clearly defined rules like this 🤦

[@tizianomerello6530]

Guys a question, how duke killed 5 swardmasters? There were ethereal and duke have not magic attacks

[@cameronblume5108]

Let me ask Ben and get back to you

[@Sytheron1000]

Duke gets magical attacks built in from the grail vow

[@cameronblume5108]

@@Sytheron1000 ah you are correct! Thanks for figuring that out.
