Great style of battlereprot, please do more!
Great effects I know you put a lot of work into this and it shows!
I must confess I loved the way this Battle Report video is made, it takes a match that's typically one to two hours long and summarizes it. It makes the game look way better, I've seen lengthy BPs. Thank you for the video.
Started with a blast. Very fun.
When doing a overrun, you can make contact with another enemy unit and thus count as charge for the next round of your opponent. However you cannot fight a second time in your own round.
Unless the enemy unit you touch is engaged in a combat with another friendly unit and the combat hasn't been solved yet.
I think....
I looked up the rules on pursuing into a fresh enemy and can’t see where it says you can’t attack again. All it says is you can’t attack if the enemy you pursued into is engaged in combat and has already done their combat phase.
@@DwainiacWarhammer Last paragraph on page 157. Of the three possible situations of "Pursuit into a New Combat" (i.e., already engaged but not yet selected this round, already engaged and already selected for combat this round, and not already engaged), the only situation where the instruction to fight again this round applies is the first one. 'Otherwise,' they become locked in place until the next player's turn.
Note that Pursuit into a New Combat is a subheading of Pursuit into a fresh Enemy.
Always great to wake up to another Dwainiac battle report! Another fun one.
I regret to say I can only give it 9.5/10 though, as I can't in good conscience give 10/10 to any report that doesn't feature Bob and Steve 😂
New sub, just binged all te battle reports. Great style super slept on keep it up.
Very entertaining, one of the better reports I have seen.
Best battle report I've seen, no joke haha, good job dude! And fun!
this channel will grow so damn fast xD this battles are EPIC XD
Ahhh, been waiting for more Dwainiac!
pleasant watch with my morning coffee
Awesome batrep!
This is the first video of yours that i saw
It's excellent very fun
Keep it up
Thanks mate! They take a long time to edit
"They flee from guys on horses which means, they are screwed." Love it.
@@intzbk1 Royally screwed
I chringed each time you said Dwarfs instead of Halflings!
Great report still, do more!
Loved the battle report! When you run down a fleeing unit, you stop moving when you catch them (you don’t move the full distance that you roll on the pursuit roll)
This is true. Dammit
Love seeing all these glorious old minis in action! And such an efficient format too 🙌
Hands down my favorite format for batreps! 🙌🏽Keep it up! I'll be looking for some beastmen batreps 🧐😁
So fun! Really good vidéo!
There's a few charges where you say the units failed by 1'' or 2'' and then move them right in front of enemy, but that's not how failed charges work. If you can't make it in, you only move the amount rolled on dice (so the higher of two dice plus any swiftstride), not the whole distance
Haha, YES! I love this report - great work, keep it up (and play Brayherds!)
Finally! More Dwainiac!
Follow up question. How do you like TOW compared to 6th edition? I feel the vamps have more options, even with their loss of march within range of the general.
It’s been too long my dude
@@armasaurusrex3158 I love some changes and hate some changes. When it comes to Vamps I love the Indomitable special rule but I HATE necromancy (and magic in general) in TOW compared to 6th. Why’d they nerf Necromancy so hard?😩
hilarous and pretty clear! excellent, you've got a new one french supporter
Overrun doesn't trigger counter-charge
The boltthrower big shot does 2 damage instead of one.
Otherwise, good batrep
Love the format! Hoping for more :)
The BEST !!! Please more ❤
Whoever counts the most amount of mistakes in this Batrep wins the Steam Tank
1. Pursuing units halt when they reach the fleeing unit. They don’t move the entire amount of inches rolled if they reach the pursued unit
2. When you fail a charge, only move the amount of inches on the dice
3. You cannot counter charge an enemy that over ran an enemy and made contact with your unit
4. Bolt throwers deal 2 wounds on a single shot
5. BSB re rolls break tests
6. Helblaster Volley Gun does AP-1
7. You can’t volley fire after moving
8. Wizards engaged in combat can’t dispel
9. Reavers only have a 6+ armour save
10. If you overrun into a fresh unengaged enemy, you don’t do combat until next turn
Can anyone beat it?
Not knowing the Empire or the High Elves army lists (and not knowing specifics on model characteristics or special rules), and only basing myself on what you show in the video (plenty of times I only have a recap and not the number of dice rolled, etc.), here is what I found for general rules :
I did not see any panic test or any restrain test. It does not mean they were not made, but remember they exist ! I thus cannot judge if something is *not* done, only if something is done incorrectly.
4:07 Does not count as error, but if 9 was made as casting result, the text is incorrect and you dispel on a 10+ because you need to exceed the casting result (page 110)
4:59 You mean "the high elf turn, round 2" ? A round is composed of the turn of each player (page 115)
6:30 You cannot have a charge reaction to a contact with a pursuit move due to overrun. You only get charge reactions during the "declare charges & charge reactions" subphase of the movement phase (page 120), so no countercharge here
6:57 The knights must maximize models in base to base contact and shall do a small wheel to do so (page 126)
8:03 On a failed charge you only move the distance of the charge roll, here 3" (page 121) - same thing at 11:22
10:10 When a pursuing unit catches the curs, it halts and do not go further (page 157)
Thanks for the battle report, it was entertaining to watch !
@@stoephilWell done! Although I’m not sure what you mean by High Elf Turn, round 2 as opposed to High Elf Turn 2. It’s the same thing
@@DwainiacWarhammer There are generally 6 rounds in a game. Each round contains a turn for each player. A round and a turn is not the same thing (see page 115). In the video you said "High elf round, turn 2". Saying "High elf round" has no significance. Saying "High elf turn, round 2" would have meant something. I was just picky :)
@@stoephil No I said “The High Elf Realms Turn 2” not High Elf round
I love this format, hope to see more!
Genuinely the best batreps on TH-cam
This was a really fun video mate! Hope those dark elves are treating you alright.
Wait… Aaron from Sydney?
@@DwainiacWarhammer Haha guilty! I told you I'd subscribe and watch your stuff.
@@cmdrsausage9669 Haha awesome! Keep your eye out for Dark Elf batreps when they’re painted… which at this rate I’ll need to commission them so they’ll be done well before 2030😅
Can't wait to see Steve and Bob in a new battle
Awesome!!! A new battle report!!!!
Great batrep! Gosh, I didn't even know there was an Old World event in the Philippines. I'll have to return one day just to attend one :)
These are great!
Subbed!
"Sea Guards, WHAT IS YOUR PROFESSION?!"
"He is still on that?"
"Yeah it was in theater yesterday and well, you know"
"Shooting Dwarves, sir!"
This is the weirdest battle report I've seen... The only one I've watched from start to finish :D
Holy moly that Empire list is crazy meta. Every best unit of every slot... Ouchie.
Well, he did in fact bring infantry instead of shooties with engineers.
Hell, even a core of knight blob is more functional than infantry. Sadly, because I love my infantry blocks...
These always make me wish I had the time, money, patience, skill with a paint brush and people to play with to actually get into Warhammer.
gnome proxied as dwarfs? that's going in the book.
Great and entertaining battle report! Props for the correct pronunciation of 'Chrace' not sure about Ellyrian though 😄. Love your wicked sense of humour.
10:04 Battle standard bearer re roll break test. You should have fall back in good order or give ground.
Saving your self about 500 victory points.
This was a good report! Remember, the High Elf mage can reroll the first failed casting result per round. I'm like 90% sure the high elf mage isn't using the Ruby Ring, which doesn't get this benefit
love the lady watching with great enthusiasm. holy crap why do I come here. Love the commentary .
Nice to finally see a battle report where the bad guy isn't Combat Res anymore. Dice remain tho...
Dice will always be the main villain in every battle. Dice are in fact, the 5th God of Chaos
I enjoy these more and more.
Interesting
I haven’t played wh before and 40k I played years ago
1:50 That MAGE gets invited to my next Pool Party in the Hollywood Hills!
4:22 Those SAVES!!!
12:34 THEY ARE CALLED "SWORD MASTERS" for a reason.
Some of those elf swordmasters look very much like Empire Greatswords 🤔
It’s why they had to die first
Great report! Question though, the saves at 4:22 - don't Ellyrian Reavers only have a 6+ armor save?
Great! Thanks
Finally another Batrep, just to start, Avelorn is a region in Ulthuan, not the owner of the bow ;)
You are allowed to flee sometimes, the Ellyrian reavers against the gryphs and tanks or the cavalry in the swordmasters flank is not a good matchup
Ok well then the region of Avelorn let him borrow it😅
Love your batreps! But quite a lot of rules mistakes if I might say..
Helblasters have ap-1.
Seaguard cannot volley fire if they move.
Single bolts from bolt throwers do 2 wounds.
Mages engaged in combat cannot dispel.
Failed charges means you just move the charge roll.
Not sure why the steam tank didn't shoot at the central bolt thrower with its cannon..
Oh damn we messed up! We’ll get better the more we play and the more batreps we make.
And reavers only have mounts, no barding, so only a 6+ save.
Your BR's are my favorite
Awesome Battle Report!
I do think next edition or addition to the rules, Large number non elite units need to have more use. Cause it seems like they just dont do much a lot of the time besides tieing up a big unit for a turn. Which is fine for chaff units, but I do think more standard units should have a bit more bite to them.
Especially Empire Infantry. They literally do less for more points.
Their one single advantage was the detachment system which was finicky, but powerful if used correctly. That's been nerfed and become non-specific to them.
They ignored a few great changes in 8th that made the game more simple and flowing better, not that infantry was great in that edition either...
Hahaha great report! ❤😂
Where do you get your battlemats?
Bought them in the Philippines from Game Mats PH. Look them up on Facebook
What is the program you use to add the animations of the arrows and explosions and the like?
Videoleap. I edit all of these on my phone
@@DwainiacWarhammerthanks!
7:46 What happen to the Pegasus? 14:22 There should be a few more turns. It's like cutting out the last 20 minutes of a war movie.
Mounts and riders are one model now. Wounds and toughness just gets added to the rider’s 🥲 something I don’t like about TOW😩
Also it ended on Turn 5 because we played the Random Game Length Pitched Battle. See pg. 289 of the rulebook
@@DwainiacWarhammer You and me both. Skink on a Stagadon!
@@DwainiacWarhammer same thing happened in 6th edition with chariots. If you see in previous editions chariots were separated models like mounted monsters. So now both chariots and mounted monsters are considered unique models, more coherent.
@@DwainiacWarhammer IDK if I like that rule either. So a high elf prince on a dragon will have 6 wounds added to his 3? All I have is the 6th edition rule book. I tried looking it up but it wasn't very clear. I'm guessing they just round up the rider's toughness to the mounts. Usually, these games last 5 or 6 turns. It just seems it would benefit if there was a clear winner. If one army hasn't been completely routed by then. Or a player concedes. Maybe another turn or two. I know it was a random-length battle but still, I wanted to know if the high elf prince lived or died. Anyway still really enjoy your videos and commentary. These battles that show the highlights to me say that you respect people's time. While other channels say, "I hope you have 3 hours to kill and want to see an hour of dice rolling."
@@albrown122 I agree, it's so boring watching other battle reports where you see just people that are throwing dice without explaining what happens in a narrative way. This channel narrates the events so well also in a funny and entertaining way. So it's nice to see these videos even more than once :) This channel is doing an amazing job
This while presentation style could so easily have fallen flat and been cringe. But you crazy son of a bitch, you pulled it off. Great editing and script delivery. very entertaining
Greeaaatt😎
Would you happen to be the guy who had a video who walked from paranaque to batangas/laguna? You look very familiar :)
Bahaha oo ako ata ung tinutukoy mo😅
Great decision not naming the mageb"Gsndalf" 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Fella what event was this in the Phillipines? I love hearing about events that aren't from the usual commonwealth suspects.
The have so many conventions like this in the Philippines. This one was Toycon. A mix of tabletop games like Warhammer 40k, Old World, Underworlds were showcased along with Conquest, Star Wars Armada etc. It was June 15-16 just this last week
Nice battle report.
My solidarity goes to the empire player’s lady
👏👏
Are Halflings related to Dwarfs?
They could be?😅
Halflings are hobbits renamed
No. You might be thinking of dwalflings which are of course related as are half-arfs.
What happened with the sound?
What’s wrong with the sound?
@@DwainiacWarhammer Found it less clean than previously too. Maybe another mic or some problem at the mixing ?
@@Minostirrite Was it my voice that was off or all of the audio in general?
@@DwainiacWarhammer Only the voice
👍👍
lol never charge sword masters head on unless you got crazy initiative
Old mate’s missus looked soooo bored 😅
It's because there were no skaven.
Hey fellow empire player! Do you have instagram or sth? I would love to see photos of your army
PIVOT
That is a terrible HE list
Not every has to play WAAC
@@jameshutton3960 Women's Army Auxiliary Corps?
Can’t be that terrible if it won lol
I don't doubt that two dragons, phoenixes and a handful of elves will win more games at tournaments. But look at all the elves you can get in doing it this way - you could even think of it as an army of them!
