    Batrep After Action Review + Editing Notes
    AAR
    Jason: This was one of my first times playing Circle and my first time ever playing Mohsar. I was certain going in that I was going to have a hard time due to not knowing how to synergize his spells & abilities with the rest of my list. In the end, I was really happy with how it turned out. SunHammer was a fun "passive" offensive spell that helped me get some good shots in on Donna's turns. Pillar of Salt was a life saver when Lord of the Feast missed his first ranged attack and was a sitting duck with the thralls headed his way.
    I was pleasantly surprised to see how well the Rotterhorn did. Between his high DEF keeping him in the fight to his ability to trigger his animus for free when he destroys an enemy (once per turn), he hung in there and got some key kills as the game progressed. The Pureblood Warpwolf also did some serious work. With jacks & beasts getting dual attack it is so nice to have a beast like Remus. On back to back turns, he was able to take out 2 enemy models - each time taking out one with a melee attack & the other with a ranged attack.
    Having Remus' "Death Howl" and Lord of the Feast's "Wurmblade" both doing magical damage was key to getting important hits on Incorporeal models. Getting those shots in were some legit feels good moments.
    I'm going to say that what lost the game for me was neglecting to use the command cards I had along with forgetting about the Druid Wilder's abilities late in the game. I don't regret charging Mohsar into the Slayer. That was just WAY too much fun to send a blind old man running face first into a helljack, especially with his weapon, Witherthorn, getting an extra damage die against constructs meaning I was rolling 4 dice for damage...but I could have been in a better spot if I would have:
    - Used Alea's "Shepherd's Call" ability to pull a fury off of Remus
    - Used the "Power Swell" command card to give Mohsar another fury to work with
    - Used the "Hit & Run" command card to give Mohsar repo3 and moved him to other side of the stone wall where he'd be much safer from Deneghra's charge
    Donna: bonejacksBoneJacksBONEJACKS!!!! I was so happy with how my little chicken jacks did so good in this game. Ripjaw & Defiler were critical to the win in the end after Mohsar was hanging on with one health left. I was thinking about playing the Witch Coven as my new caster(s), but I'm having too much fun with Deneghra lately. I'm going to keep her in my list for the time being. I love how she can use Dark Banishment when she gets a melee hit to move enemy models. I've used it defensively in the past where I'd move an enemy away so they couldn't threaten Deneghra on the next turn, but this was the first time I used it offensively. Being able to move Mohsar into position where Deneghra could get another hit on him & the Defiler could spray him for the kill was a fun combo to work out in the game as the turn was playing out on the table.
    Editing Notes:
    After our PC crashed in Sept meant that the Sept batrep got pushed into the first week of Oct, I wasn't sure if I'd have time to get the Oct video done this month. I recorded the raw video footage last Saturday (Oct 15th), wrote the script on Sunday & Monday, recorded the audio narration of the script on Tuesday, & then spent what little free time I had this past week editing it all together. I have been trying to streamline my process as I learn more about the editing software, but I'm still blown away that I was able to get this video done from start to finish in 8 days (uploaded the evening of Oct 23rd).
    That said, there are a few things that I think I could have done better for sure. Working to hurry up and get it done before the end of the month led to a couple of slip ups, but nothing major thankfully. Here's what I wish I would have done differently:
    1. I repeated the phrase "Not to be deterred" once or twice when talking about a warjack finishing up its charge attack after getting hit by the SunHammer spell. Not awful, but I'd have preferred to have come up with something unique / different to say the second time it happened. I didn't realize that I'd repeated it until I was editing that round a few days after recording the audio & I can only record audio on Tuesdays (the only day where I have enough hours at home with nobody around to make sounds / mess up the recording).
    2. When Lord of the Feast hit a successful ranged attack with his Raven, I forgot to put the text on the screen explaining the "Shifter" ability that lets him teleport to go B2B with the target hit. I was so buy working on the effect for the teleportation that it slipped my mind to not include the text. Again, not a major mistake, but something I wish I would have caught before the final edit was uploaded to TH-cam.
    3. This was the first video recorded with my new Canon M50, recorded at 4k & edited / uploaded at 1080p with 15kbps bitrate. So, I am still learning the ins / outs of this camera. There was 1 or 2 times where didn't have the focus set as well as I should have (most notably is in Circle turn 3 when the Rotterhorn is activating / attacking). That's something that will improve over the next week as I spend some of my time off messing around with the camera & testing things.
    4. When Mohsar transfers damage to the Rotterhorn, the fury he spent should have just gone away. I mistakenly put it on the Rotterhorn. Sorry for any confusion that might have caused.

      Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the batrep.
      The game is seeing a bit of a resurgence lately now that PP is settled into MK4 well with all legacy models having updated rules, a good chunk of new MK4 armies are released & scheduled, etc.

    I like the opening part showing off the models good camera angle showing off the armies, voice over clear and sharp. I would of liked to seen the aerial shot to begin with then used similar angle camera used to show off the armies for their deployment. I also like the camera angles used during the battle along with the special affects. Love how the models have names. Hope this style continues was a good watch looking forward to more

    Great video, commentary and editing. I liked it very much and hope for more :)
    I noticed a few mistakes, but I am not sure about them, as I don't know what rules you're using for example for Circle (are those mk4 rules? Where are you getting them from? Can a Pureblood shoot after killing a model in mk4? You may also avoid moving the FURY token from warlock to warbeast when transfering damage, as it may give someone a wrong impression that after spending a FURY from your warlock you add it to the warbeast to do that - unless it's how it works in mk4 ;))

    • @steamsorcery9573
      @steamsorcery9573  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      All warjacks & warbeasts get dual attack in MK4. So, if they have both ranged & melee attacks, they can make both in the same activation.
      As for transferring the fury from the warlock to the warbeast that is NOT a MK4 change, but apparently something that I had misunderstood all along in the rules. I was under the mistaken impression that the damage AND the fury were transferred to the beast. Thank you for pointing that out! I'll add a note to the pinned comment to clarify my mistake there.

      I’ve thought about doing an outer, but I try to keep the videos as close to 30 mins or less & worried that an outright like that would make them too long.
      That’s why we both put our thoughts from the game in the pinned comments in the After Action Review.

    Why Cryx jacks allocated the focus during the CO Feat ongoing?
    BTW the video is great! it was pleasure to watch.

    • @steamsorcery9573
      @steamsorcery9573  ปีที่แล้ว

      Mohsar's feat prevents enemy warjacks from getting the free focus from powering up, but it does not prevent them from having focus allocated to them. I clarified how it works with PP to make sure we were playing it correctly and they confirmed that his feat is more impactful on warlocks / beasts than it is on warcasters / warjacks.

    • @steamsorcery9573
      @steamsorcery9573  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I made my own using the MK3 Circle cards and taking direction from the MK4 beta cards that we've gotten for Cryx & Protectorate. Not "perfect", but it works for my wife & I to be able to play with whatever models we want until the MK4 cards start coming out in a few days.

  • @kensaiix

    i suppose you took old points costs and just used mk4 rules?

    • @steamsorcery9573
      @steamsorcery9573  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes. Until we're able to get enough of the MK4 models for Prime armies painted up, this was the only way we could play with the new rules. Not perfect of course, but it worked for us to be able to jump in and start learning the new rules over the last few months.
      I'm in the process of painting up Goreshade, Deathwalker, Bane Lord Tartarus, & a 5-man unit of Banes so that we'll be able to run a proper MK4 Cryx list at 50pts. I'm also building & painting Kromac, Brighid & Caul, and a few other models so that we can do the same with a MK4 Circle army.
