Batrep After Action Review + Editing Notes AAR Jason: Some bad dice rolls got me a couple times, but I think what really got me was a combo of trying to make the most out of the only Prime list I had available & not recognizing a few opportunities until after the game. For one thing, I never took advantage of the Revenger's arc node from an offense standpoint. I should have channeled "Death Sentence" onto the Pureblood before charging into him in Protectorate turn 2. The other thing was not realizing that Gade would be exposed since the Blood Pack had Pathfinder & Treewalker. As for the list itself, I don't hate it, but it was weird not having ANY heavies and 2 support units. The issue is that we don't have a lot of Protectorate built & painted that works in MK4 yet. So, I went with what I had to get a 50 pt list. Our only Protectorate heavy that's ready for the table is an Indictor. We got a Vanquisher recently, but it's only primed so far & still in the queue to be painted. I also have a unit of Exemplar Cinerators that are primed & need to be painted. I'd like to get those all painted up & revamp the list with them. Donna: When we first came up with this list for my Circle, I was really worried. I've never played Kromac before, never played with 2 heavy beasts, never played with Ghetorix, never played with Tharn Blood Pack...a whole lot of unknowns for me to overcome. It also gives me just 7 models on the table which made me worry about how long they'd last, but being able to heal Remus & the Blood Pack plus the fact that only 1 of my guys is a small base...it's a more powerful list than I expected at first. Remus & Ghetorix do a lot of damage. And I got really luck that Remus was able to hang on by a thread. I was just one bad dice roll from him dying in rounds 2 and 3.
That does explain the list choices. Fortunately, the new Temple Guardians army is extremely good, so having that Indictor painted is a good head start.
Thank you! I'm working on my first batrep for Warcaster: Neo-Mechanika at the moment, but after that the next Warmachine Batrep will be either Circle vs Cryx or Circle vs Orgoth.
I just love how you guys narrate your battle reports along with your camera angles really add to the dynamic battlefield. I also love how you out up the spell rules makes it education and assist with explaining what is happening, keep it up 👍 ❤️ I look forward to many more battle reports 👏
23:30 Worth noting; a model that is thrown goes the full distance of the roll until it contacts an equal or larger size base. In this case with a roll of 6 I think Rebuke would have cleared the neophyte and landed behind him. My favorite thing in the game in mk3 was to kill a warcaster by throwing his own warjack on top of him. It was a bit more dependable back then since the distance wasn't determined by a d6 roll. Also, I gotta say I absolutely love these batreps. Keep up the great work!
You're 100% right and oddly enough we knew that, but I guess got caught up in the excitement of the game while playing and lost sight of it. Thanks for catching it!
We definitely have more planned. We just posted our 7th MK4 batrep a few weeks ago. We alternate 1 Warmachine batrep with 1 Warcaster batrep and just started working on our next Warcaster video today. Our next Warmachine batrep will be the first one with 2 new MK4 armies: Khador Winter Korps VS Orgoth Sea Raiders.

Love the narrator in the background. Make the whole Battle rep so much more dramatic!
I'm just getting back into hordes with my old circle army. This is great.
Huge fan of this! fantastic work!
Thank you!
Great video. Very cool way to film a batrep. Please keep making more. I love my Circle.
Thank you!

Protectorate had a real bad day.
You're absolutely making the best warmachine batreps out here! Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
Beautiful Models, and Storyline.
Keep up the great work!
You can't go into battle without some choir music rocking out.
I love your tokens!

Excellent Batrep. Can't wait to see the MKIV armies in this style of report!! :)
Thx for another great battlerep)
Excellent presentation as always. Thanks!
Damn good bat rep as always.
Thank you!
Unbelievable job! Linking this to all my Iron Kingdoms peeps!
Thank you!
Exactly my experience with PoM. Low def stats makes it quite hard to stay afloat against circle 😮
Both armies are really well painted. Good job!
and good job for learning new things ;)
Thanks for the Battle Report! It's really inspiring me to get back into the game.
I´ve always had curiosity regarding this game. However there is no Warmachine scene in my country
We live in a small town where there is no scene near us, but my wife & I play together.
@@steamsorcery9573 so sweet
Very nice!
Great report! Definitely didn't go the way I would have expected with the model count disparity.

I am so curious what they are going to do to my protectorate and circle in the full mk.IV update. Krueger looks dope as hell.
Huzzah
Do you think 2D markers for corpses and wrecks would be useful for smaller games on an aesthetic level?
Absolutely! We also play small skirmish size games & love how the markers add to the immersion with the visuals.
Please more mk.IV batreps

Your tokens are tight, where did you get them from?.
They're from Muse On Minis. Sorry for the delay. I didn't get notifications for a bunch of old comments and I'm just seeing them now.
@@steamsorcery9573 It's cool, I do the social media thing and it is easy to miss with the current interface apps use.
