Great to see a couple buddies having fun with this hobby. I also like the way they’ve presented the gist of the game with enough detail and flavor, but without letting the video run too long for viewers to enjoy. Good sportsmanship, food looking armies and dang impressive spell effect models.
Awesome battle report with beautiful models and scenery! You played it right with the Zombie Dragon Giving Ground- I initially thought it was "impassible" terrain, but the Give Ground rule on p. 155 just says "terrain" so contacting ANY terrain will stop the unit from giving ground further. You guys played it correct! However, the Wraith wouldn't be able to join a unit of skeletons. Ethereal on p. 167: "Characters that are not ethereal cannot join units that are, and vice versa."
Great game both. I’ve had a very long and somewhat horrible day. This has made me smile, laugh and wish I was with you while you played. Thank you both. Great content!
I can feel the weight of that metal black coach with the plastic horses in my hand while watching this. That thing used to terrorize my poor little goblins!
Haven't finished watching the full video yet. Love the Vampire Count conversion. The old Morgan Le Fey makes a goovampire countessss. One small issue with your force. Sadly, Wraiths can't join none Ethereal units now. A real pain as I too used to love the old Wraith leading some Skeletons aesthetic. Will watch the rest when I get time.
This isnhow a batrep should be done! Perfect length, great narration and editing. Doesn't hurt that the armies look cool. Great jon guys! Here's hoping for more Orcs and Dwarfs :) cheers!
its subtle, but I love how the skeleton warriors are posde identically to each other. its a great contrast from 'shambling hordes' of the zombies to 'automata'', which is in a way even more unsettling.
So cool! I've been a VC collector for years, but have never been able to play a match of Warhammer. Amazing to finally see army similar to my own in action!
Heck yeah! Great to see such a high quality bat rep of TOW between two fine gents! Really love the scenery, Eric! It truly makes the game that much more immersive! Your templates are top tier, wonderful job. Can't wait to see more!
Seeing such bad dice repeatedly on the orcs broke my heart. Just sad. Good looking battle report though. Dice games can be like that, sometimes you win, sometimes your dice throw the game for you.
The Vortex templates are incredible! It is since the game was released that I am thinking about creating my own templates. I think I will take inspiration from these! Thanks! Great game!
Absolutely love this. More of the same please! Quick question: because the Cairn Wraith is ethereal, can he actually join a non-ethereal unit of skeletons? Keep up the great work!
I like the idea that the Vampire's illusions make her look beautiful _to the beholder._ So when the entire group of Greenskins rush her at once, they see her as a bloody demon of war. So breathtakingly beautiful to the Greenskins, they briefly forget how to krump.
My dude you made the same mistake I did in my O&G vs VC battle report😂 Wraith is ethereal and can’t join non ethereal units like skellies. I’m jealous of all that terrain and fully painted and based armies
A shame about the Black Coach, but as someone who has been playing for over 20 years I have literally *never* seen it do anything noteworthy. Here’s hoping for more Old World! Mordheim too.
He's Azhag The Slaughterer! I think not yet alive on the Old World timeline. No reason not to bring him back made to order tho! Also if you want a smoking hot Wyvern check out Avatars of War. They've got two looks and both are stunning and definitely inspired by this version
@@SquareBasedOldWorld Oh I didn't realise. Yeah I'd love it and I think they'd sell a tonne of them, maybe they'll do a second pass of old world stuff? One can dream. I'll check those out thanks
I'm only sad there wasn't more backstory about why this particular fight was happening, like with the Bretonnians vs. Tomb Kings double feature. Always find a good narrative hook helps me stay invested in battle reports.
Fantastic battle report! I had a question I hope you can answer. Where did you get that grassy mat / rug that you're playing on? Where could I buy one like that? Thank you!
Great video and battle loved. Please bring us more Battle reports of Old World. I am loving the game so far. Questions, the move through cover sp. Rule. Says no negative to movement characteristics. Dangerous and difficult terrain. Does this include mountains and hill's? In a battle now and my friend disagrees with. He claimed that hill's are different.
Both armies are so nicely painted. The Black Coach is a bit dated at this point but with the right paint job like the one here it still looks amazing! Btw, Cairn Wraith can't join the group of skellies. Ethereal can't join non-Ethereal units and vice versa in TOW. Also may I ask where you got that countess model? It's really cool, I don't recognise it though.
Random question here, Eric: What is the exact name/brand of the beige-brown color you used for the rims of your bases? I really appreciate the attention to detail in the way you design your battlefields (and magic vortexes). Some battlereport-channels do that too generic they are just about playing the game I guess but the way you do it really makes it such a pleasure to watch it (for me). Greetings from 5th/6th edition player from Germany, slowly painting his way back into the old world.
Math wise it's really not outrageous, and if you're taking a lore familiar to guarantee it and the ogre blade you're not going to be able to fit in a ward save.
Love it. Unfortunately, and much to my own disappointment too as a long time member of the bone zone, your Wraith cannot join a unit that is not also Ethereal. Per pg. 167 of the rules "Characters that are not Ethereal cannot join units that are, and vice versa." I really like your sabot bases for your monsters. I need to do the same for my undead characters on big beasties.
@@EricsHobbyBattleReports yeah. Stick them in a unit with the Cursed Book and you used to be golden. Not sure what the point of them is now apart from running around as a lone operative and maybe forcing a panic test on a low Ld units by charging them? Only unit they can join is Spirit Hosts (and because of the different base sizes they then go off to the side of the unit meaning that there's a chance they won't be in base-to-base so will just get the one attack).
@blastvader the Vampire Counts list is a mess in a lot of ways. Sure it can create an absolute monster of a force, that just screams the opponent into oblivion. However outside of that build it has a lotnof balance issues.
Cool spell templates!
Both armies honestly look breathtaking. People who say old warhammer fantasy models look bad haven't seen them painted to this standard.
Aw shux! I even painted some of mine!
I couldn't agree more. Loved the foot of Gork as well! Just gorgeous 🦶
People say that? Even averagely painted armies look amazing ranked up
I love that foot of gork and crystal column (plus both armies are killer). Thanks for posting!
Never have I clicked so fast on a video. Best battlereports out there!
Your Vampire Counts army looks incredible as always!
Love to see TOW content! Keep up the excellent battle reports!

Glad you noticed! I tried to give em that feel exactly
“Now I suddenly wanna go home real bad “ 😂
Welcome back Eric 😊
Love your battle reports. And beautiful armies.
Yooooooo welcome back! I loved your first two videos and i was bummee out that there was only two videos :( I hope you're able to make more ❤
Great collab! Fan of both SB and EHW, so thoroughly enjoyed this one.
10/10 very bassed
So cool! I've been a VC collector for years, but have never been able to play a match of Warhammer. Amazing to finally see army similar to my own in action!
Glad to see you've returned! Really great bat reps your making.
Great battle report and nice painting from both of you.
I didn't expect Val to be in command of the Orcs (and gobbos). What a game!
In the future I will demand double billing
Keep up those battlerep, well composed so I can follow them and understand them properly! WAAAAAAGHHHH
Loved it! Awesome armies and spell effects, more please :)
Heck yeah! Great to see such a high quality bat rep of TOW between two fine gents! Really love the scenery, Eric! It truly makes the game that much more immersive! Your templates are top tier, wonderful job. Can't wait to see more!
yes! more battles please. Dragons need toning down a bit me thinks..
Poor Val! I think Eric was lucky to get SpectralDoppleganger as a spell and de 2 double 6s! Very cool battle report!
An inspiration for a recent attempt at using a very similar build: )
@@SquareBasedOldWorld Did you roll good?
awesome video guys, pretty impressive that the Dragon managed to win the game pretty much solo
Beautiful armies, beautiful table, 2 great guys (love Val!), wonderful batrep!
Love you too
FINALLY!!! I BEEN HEARING ABOUT THIS ON SQUARE BASED FOR SO LONG
Seeing such bad dice repeatedly on the orcs broke my heart. Just sad. Good looking battle report though. Dice games can be like that, sometimes you win, sometimes your dice throw the game for you.
Two of my favorite personalities in one video! Awesomesauce.
Amazing armies and board set up. The templates are great, especially the Foot of Gork.
Great armies, great terrain, great opponents having a great game. The epitome of warhammer 💪
Yeayyy new batrep! Love the matchup in this one.
The Vortex templates are incredible! It is since the game was released that I am thinking about creating my own templates. I think I will take inspiration from these! Thanks! Great game!
Great work boys! I actually like seeing the dice rolls personally :)
We showed some important ones! I think theres a balance to be struck
@@EricsHobbyBattleReports I think you've struck a good balance between brevity and showing important parts of the battle.
Absolutely love this. More of the same please! Quick question: because the Cairn Wraith is ethereal, can he actually join a non-ethereal unit of skeletons? Keep up the great work!
Awesome armies. Always love to see the blades on your vampire counts, did the same green effect for mine and it looks great
There's good and then theres getting Spectral Doppelganger off with an Ogre Blad Vampire. Fantastic game! Cant wait to see more!
Good battle report, great looking gaming table.
I like the idea that the Vampire's illusions make her look beautiful _to the beholder._ So when the entire group of Greenskins rush her at once, they see her as a bloody demon of war. So breathtakingly beautiful to the Greenskins, they briefly forget how to krump.
Hmm interesting thought
Superb armies !!!
I am going to enjoy this :) see you in 40 min
Awesome battle report. Keep’’em coming 🤘🏼🔥🔥🤘🏼those spell templates are amazing.
Awesome!
Another awesome battle report - thanks Eric!
I sure do love the subtle nuance of vampire counts armies strategy … Throw garbage forward and kill their army with big scary dragon.
My dude you made the same mistake I did in my O&G vs VC battle report😂 Wraith is ethereal and can’t join non ethereal units like skellies.
I’m jealous of all that terrain and fully painted and based armies
A shame about the Black Coach, but as someone who has been playing for over 20 years I have literally *never* seen it do anything noteworthy.
Here’s hoping for more Old World! Mordheim too.
But it's sooooo cooooool!
Beguile has always been such a good vamp power, really hard to deal with if you don't have a bunch of shooting
Goddamn, what a game lads!
Miniatures are mindblowing!
This looks really good!
I love that black orc warboss on dragon model, so much grander than the current orc warboss on wyvern. I wish GW would reproduce that!
Its a great model for sure
He's Azhag The Slaughterer! I think not yet alive on the Old World timeline. No reason not to bring him back made to order tho!
Also if you want a smoking hot Wyvern check out Avatars of War. They've got two looks and both are stunning and definitely inspired by this version
@@SquareBasedOldWorld Oh I didn't realise. Yeah I'd love it and I think they'd sell a tonne of them, maybe they'll do a second pass of old world stuff? One can dream. I'll check those out thanks
Very fun to watch
Val just brought his tournament army
great video. where is the foot of gork model from?
Where did you get that foot of gork
Love it! TOW hype!
It sounded like you said orcwad! Hey orcwad! lol
Very bassed, loved it!
long have we waited. lovely!
Looks good!
Great battle report!
Amazing armies!
Maybe I missed it but I would love a tour of your studio/game room. I’m always looking for ideas for mine
I'm only sad there wasn't more backstory about why this particular fight was happening, like with the Bretonnians vs. Tomb Kings double feature. Always find a good narrative hook helps me stay invested in battle reports.
Fantastic battle report! I had a question I hope you can answer. Where did you get that grassy mat / rug that you're playing on? Where could I buy one like that? Thank you!
Spectral Doppleganger on charge? Haven’t the Assailment spells been FAQed on charge?
I think you may be thinking of the Convayance spells. Assailments are cast when a spellcaster fights in melee.
@@stonehorsegaming Thanks; I don't know why I have the doubt, believing that also the assailments were FAQed the last time... 🤔
Those skeletons spears are great. That a GW kit?
Great video and battle loved. Please bring us more Battle reports of Old World. I am loving the game so far. Questions, the move through cover sp. Rule. Says no negative to movement characteristics. Dangerous and difficult terrain. Does this include mountains and hill's? In a battle now and my friend disagrees with. He claimed that hill's are different.
Hills are just open ground as far as movement is concerned. Forrests can be declared either difficult or dangerous at the start of the game
Where do you get those awesome movement trays?
Both armies are so nicely painted. The Black Coach is a bit dated at this point but with the right paint job like the one here it still looks amazing! Btw, Cairn Wraith can't join the group of skellies. Ethereal can't join non-Ethereal units and vice versa in TOW. Also may I ask where you got that countess model? It's really cool, I don't recognise it though.
Its the old Morgiana le Fay model from the Bretonnia range

Where'd you guys get your 3d printed movement trays?
found em on cults and printed em at home
Note that enhancement spells are limited to arc of sight of the wizard.
🦑🦑🦑🦑🦑🦑🦑so hyped for this!
I have the same battlemat but how do you get yours so straight and not wrinkly? 😁
By being tremendously anal about it before the game lol
I liked this video
Yes you certainly earned a subscribe hit
Spectral doppelgangers need to be nerfed so bad
Yeah that was outrageous lol. My dice rolls were crazy though
Math wise it's really not outrageous, and if you're taking a lore familiar to guarantee it and the ogre blade you're not going to be able to fit in a ward save.
@tEKOMANDOR123 exactly. Also hey!
what model is the orc on wyvern?
ORCtober minis VS Halloween minis
Love it. Unfortunately, and much to my own disappointment too as a long time member of the bone zone, your Wraith cannot join a unit that is not also Ethereal. Per pg. 167 of the rules "Characters that are not Ethereal cannot join units that are, and vice versa."
I really like your sabot bases for your monsters. I need to do the same for my undead characters on big beasties.
Yeah I realized that after filming too. Disappointing! Wraiths always used to be able to join units
That sucks, spose it could be counted as a wight lord instead
@@EricsHobbyBattleReports yeah. Stick them in a unit with the Cursed Book and you used to be golden.

OUUUUTRAGE!!!
Would have preferred if it was more like the style of ur previous battle reports
Much bassed
There used to be no overkill challenges, that was the whole point. Now why bother?
Awesome!
