As someone who works in the tabletop industry and realises how hard it is to make Let's Plays of miniature wargames fun and engaging - I bloody love this format. It is a lot of work for the editors (who I bow down to for their work) but it certainly makes for an engaging watch. Well done and I hope we get more!
Well me and maybe three others would prefer the 6hour raw footage. But, a cookie is a cookie, and a battle boys video is a battle boys video. So I'm happy
Dear Joe the editor. I would like a rhaspy asmr 20 hour cut of awkward zooms and mumblings, instead of this highly polished visual experience. With regards Hughe JayHole
Other than the whole thing of it being a capture points based game, and far as I could tell, Alex had more points, until Lewis decided to change the rules so that whoever won titanbowl won Yeah, sure, a win We all know HatchBoy won
@@FluffyDragon I'm fairly sure the thing was that they would've tied on the last turn if the middle capture point, which was being contested by the titans, was left uncaptured by either of them. So they had to go one 'extra round' to see who won the contest and resolve the last turn.
The retrospective 'callback' format works so goddamn well! Such clever storytelling and professional editing. I don't even know anything about warhammer and I still love watching these.
@@jacobp.4593 If you can convince the tax office that it was a necessary purchase for your business. They wouldn't be able to make Warhammer videos without having minis so buying them and even paying someone to paint them would be a business expense.
@@sora2339 I don't think they're saying any "normal buisness" is writing off minis. But any "normal buisness" is writing off things relevant to their buisness needs - pretty stock standard. I don't think a gaming/enterntainment channel is going to have convince that tax off its legitmate to write off purchases of gaming-related items for content.
Now I want a short story where three tech priests locked in a bomb shelter with a carnifex and for whatever reason they can't attack each other, and the whole time the three tech priests are just talking about the technical details of the bomb shelter like someone explaining WH40k to an uninterested stranger.
Love this retrospective format every time you guys do it! For someone who's never played games that takes this long, these videos make the games feel so fun!
This is so fucking cool, I love seeing massed matching style armies like this, plus i get the full story without a 4 hour video, (I also love alex and his bugs, give us more pls pls) ((more painting streams too)) (((I'd also be interested in how Alex does that khaki beigey greeny on the carapaces)))
I don't know if they do or not but they should stream the full game the people who want to see all the details because personally I think the overly edited style is actually the best way to do it
This is an interesting format for a Batrep. I'm not sure I like it as much as a full-size Batrep, but it does scratch a warhammer itch, without swallowing an entire afternoon.
This format is so GOOD; I love seeing these vids come up. Having the post-game commentary and flashing back and forth from the match is such a great way of doing it, it keeps the energy high and the scenes rolling!
The table position in front of the camera looking down the length of the table (snooker-style) made it really easy to follow the action. I also like the angled position of the scenery which made the battleground interesting.
YESSSS!! A quick intro and right to it. Table top games spend ages explaining their units and I will never remember or care about each one. Right to the action and perfectly done!
Thank you so much for those shots at the beginning showing every troop. I never played warhammer and this really helped me follow :) Also I love how lightly Ben takes it all and how he manages to focus on the rules, find the lore in everything, and still call things "big clawy shooty boy"
What a great production! I love the new style of after-the-game commentary mixed with in-game shots. I have one suggestion that would improve the value of the video even further: report could use a minimap in a corner, where editors could draw some arrows and circles representing current state of the battle, or current movements.
This format is brilliant, all the best bits and the relevant information of the game. Incredible, I wouldn't mind seeing slightly cut down multipart versions of the full game as well.
Hand on heart this was the best battle report I've ever watched! Condensing a full game into little snippits is the way forward! I haven't got time to watch 3-6 hours but 20 minutes absolutely!!
These videos are soooo good, I love the quick pacing and combat commentary. You know exactly what's happening and this is perfect for scratching my warhammer itch. Make more please!
I love these especially the editing condensing it down. I’ve seen some other warhammer tabletop channels or table top games channels but honestly the 2hr+ really turns me away. Props to the editors that put out these condense hours and hours into the best parts while still making a story out of it.
this was in my recommended and i was very pleasantly surprised. love the way it’s cut down to a reflection/postgame highlight reel with commentary. very entertaining, definitely subbed!
I love this format! Would love to see more of this type of video. I do a lot of Warhammer, and sometimes battle reports are great, but this is just really fun to watch - all the best bits of a game condensed into a short summary that tells a great story. You clearly enjoyed the game, and that's always the best thing about watching anything from the Yogscast!
What a treat to see a whole battle report in 20 minutes. I don't need to see the dice rolled, I just want to know what happened and what the interesting bits are. Great stuff!
Loved it! The editing was so good. Made the game really easy to follow, and more importantly, very exciting! :D Great work guys! Had a really good time watching this.
The format of these, with such great editing, recapping, explanations is great! I love the idea that you guys get to enjoy a long game like this with good camera coverage and then sit down and recap it for work :]
Great video! Really enjoyed the format and style and can't wait to see what's next! Really appreciate the amount of time and effort that goes into the Battle Report videos!
Well, there are other games that do it better. One of the main reasons is that melee troops also need tl be able to make it into range without beeing shot off thw board.
@@tonyofearth5100 Well.. yeah, we call that bit 'tactics' and 'strategy' and whatnot. The positioning of troops to make proper use of them in battle and all
@@I_Am_Kas Eh, used to be that the melee stuff either came in such big numbers that you weren't gonna take them all down before they got you (without multiple units focus firing on em) or they were tough enough to last it anyway. I must admit, I find it a bit weird that stuff is so close together also.. feels like there's barely any difference between ranged and melee
Been getting into 40k recently after not being involved in the hobby for years and just saw this in my feed, perfect timing! Great work on the format too, really engaging way of showing the game and hope to see more :)
Edited to add spoiler spaces. One of the things I love most about TT games is those clutch moments that could be turned into movies. That single titan going ham and surviving like it did, just for the planet to blow is one hell of a scene.

Yeah, just minutes in and I’m really impressed by the editing and formatting.
Compressing a six hour games into 30 minutes makes for a fantastic video.
Hard agree... this format is great, and getting better as they get more experience with it. Mega mega kudos to them all.
Well me and maybe three others would prefer the 6hour raw footage.
But, a cookie is a cookie, and a battle boys video is a battle boys video.
So I'm happy
@@CrossBreedTacoHD maybe they should've released an edited and unedited?

Question do you get distracted during editing to simply be a meme lord in a lot of videos until you realize you closing on a deadline?
Give the people what they want. I have no idea why people don’t appreciate the art Joe makes
Of course spliffing brit loves 40k , still one of the top British TH-camrs❤
There is not enough exploits in this video, TSB you must show us how to do it properly!
As a Hughe(s) i 2nd a full game stream
Lewis: "That's an Adeptus Mechanicus win."
Ben: "They successfully blew up their own planet, hooray."
In the grim darkness of the far future
There is only wins
Other than the whole thing of it being a capture points based game, and far as I could tell, Alex had more points, until Lewis decided to change the rules so that whoever won titanbowl won
Yeah, sure, a win
We all know HatchBoy won
@@FluffyDragon I'm fairly sure the thing was that they would've tied on the last turn if the middle capture point, which was being contested by the titans, was left uncaptured by either of them. So they had to go one 'extra round' to see who won the contest and resolve the last turn.
@@BalthorYT That, or they wanted to see the titans properly kill each other...
Possibly both.
@@FluffyDragon But they literally mentioned that the capture points were tied up in the center with the two Titans
Lewis is dressed like he's trying to sell me a juice with 85 ingredients
The years have turned Lewis into everybody's lovable old hippy uncle lol.
Or a master at bullshido one of those energy field martial arts senseis online lol
LOL
The retrospective 'callback' format works so goddamn well! Such clever storytelling and professional editing. I don't even know anything about warhammer and I still love watching these.
The return of Warhammer. I've been looking forward to this.
Just as I got my army done as well!
The production on this is so good
Lewis: Makes a video so he can use the models as a tax write off
Lewis: Pays Ben to rules lawyer so he can play a 3 hour game instead of a 6 hour game
Could you even write-off miniatures as a business expense?
@@jacobp.4593 If you can convince the tax office that it was a necessary purchase for your business.
They wouldn't be able to make Warhammer videos without having minis so buying them and even paying someone to paint them would be a business expense.
@@sora2339 this seems like a textbook business expense with very little need for explaining.
@@ThatPianoNoob Of course what normal business doesnt have grands of mini figures being written off for tax reasons
@@sora2339 I don't think they're saying any "normal buisness" is writing off minis. But any "normal buisness" is writing off things relevant to their buisness needs - pretty stock standard.

I really like the format of these games, highlights and people having fun.
More tables! More toys! More Alex! Always a good time, especially when he is rocking that beard.
I would like to second this call, and extend it to More Battles! More Boys pls
hasn't he always had a beard?
Now I want a short story where three tech priests locked in a bomb shelter with a carnifex and for whatever reason they can't attack each other, and the whole time the three tech priests are just talking about the technical details of the bomb shelter like someone explaining WH40k to an uninterested stranger.

The editing on these are always on point. Thanks for workin hard.
I really miss the painting streams, Im so glad to see more 40k/table top content though. I still go back and watch battle boys
I wouldn’t mind 3 or 4 ep. to show more detail and banter. I love the between rounds bits personally
Agreed. This style is good, but would rather have a few episodes worth to watch whilst painting :)
I don't know if they do or not but they should stream the full game the people who want to see all the details because personally I think the overly edited style is actually the best way to do it
Couldn't agree more, even if the production on these is amazing I still love the old battleboys streams to bits
@@Phirestarter88 It's on their patreon I think? I saw an unedited clip and it can get very awkward lol
The overlays, format and editing of this are all fantastic. Love it!
17:04 - It’s 1.40am and I just laughed so hard I heard it echo and proceeded to choke on water
Editor beasting this episode! Nice work
This is an interesting format for a Batrep. I'm not sure I like it as much as a full-size Batrep, but it does scratch a warhammer itch, without swallowing an entire afternoon.
More Warhammer + more Battleboys = more good!
A yogs Warhammer video in 2022? Truly things are looking up for the world.
brilliantly put together and edited, happy to see alex back, happy to see the series back. hope theres more to come! :D
yogs and warhammer is just so bloody perfect, by far my favourite content
As someone who loves the game but cannot play, this edited version is wonderful. Well done, and I hope we get more.
yesssss
What a great video (and stellar edit)! It's always a blast to see these guys play.
This format is so GOOD; I love seeing these vids come up. Having the post-game commentary and flashing back and forth from the match is such a great way of doing it, it keeps the energy high and the scenes rolling!
2 minutes in and Lewis is literally falling for a distraction carnifex on steroids..
I love it xD
Also those tyranids are gorgeously painted~
These videos are always insanely well edited!
This is edited so well! wish we had the full vods to watch
Godlike video. Uploads of warhammer stuff on games night are a rare but very special treat
So goooood, the edits, the story, the minis. MOAR
The table position in front of the camera looking down the length of the table (snooker-style) made it really easy to follow the action. I also like the angled position of the scenery which made the battleground interesting.
I've said this before but you know its a good games night when Alex shows up.
Really hoping we'll get to see more like this in the near future.
Really great to see Alex again.
YESSSS!! A quick intro and right to it. Table top games spend ages explaining their units and I will never remember or care about each one. Right to the action and perfectly done!
I enjoy the more relaxed presentation of this game. It's a refresher from the usual bombast a game like this carries
Thank you so much for those shots at the beginning showing every troop. I never played warhammer and this really helped me follow :)
Also I love how lightly Ben takes it all and how he manages to focus on the rules, find the lore in everything, and still call things "big clawy shooty boy"
as someone who has never played warhammer, this was extremely entertaining and tempts me to get into it myself. Please do more!
Ah your Nanna passed and left you a couple bags of cash

These videos are so great. High quality and funny as hell.. Keep em coming
Recently rewatched all the bolt action stuff and the like and these are just great. Perfect lil glimpses into a game without being a battle report
These videos are soooo good, I love the quick pacing and combat commentary. You know exactly what's happening and this is perfect for scratching my warhammer itch. Make more please!
God Alex’s paint jobs are all so beautiful
Love this way to show a battlereport.

For someone who doesnt play W40k and is only partially familiar with the rules, this format was very digestible and very entertaining. Great vid!

Yes, I know what this all means

Just love this format. So enjoyable and easy to watch
Just so well put together, catching all that second hand spirit of what it feels like to play some tabletop
more of this it was amazing! And more painting streams they are really fun to watch
Beautifully painted armies 😍
(Obligatory yay Alex!)
What a treat to see a whole battle report in 20 minutes. I don't need to see the dice rolled, I just want to know what happened and what the interesting bits are. Great stuff!
So thrilled to see this! The format is digestible, the editing is amazing (big props to Joe), and the players are cuties
this was very cool, funny and clear to follow. more of this would be more good!!! Always great seeing Alex as well
Excellent format! I really liked the roll/success counter during Titan Bowl
I'm so glad you guys do these. I don't play, but it's so fun seeing you guys do these!
These are the best battlereports on TH-cam
Glad to see the games nights coming back love watching yall play various board games
This is amazing, dramatic, fun game and plenty of bickering.
Bonus points for how good it looks
those are some very well painted models, i wasnt expecting Lewis to have 2 knights but im pleasantly surprised
I am BEGGING you guys to make the unedited version available somewhere
Can’t seem to find the full VOD. Kind of curious of the turn by turn details not having played myself
There is no full VOD
Love to see a video from you guys again, I absolutely love when you play miniature games!
Your production value is always top notch!
Loved it! The editing was so good. Made the game really easy to follow, and more importantly, very exciting! :D Great work guys! Had a really good time watching this.
How curious. Just yesterday I felt like watching your old warhammer videos (Space Wolf vs. Tyranids) and suddenly there is a new one.
Alex and Tom aren't related right? Unbuttoned shirt, sexy deep voice, charismatic, tiny men/Ben enjoyer, they have so much in common.
They are the battleboys. Nothing brings you together more than being in the trenches together
Great Vid! Hats off to the editors for making it so engaging
I really love these videos, they're so well edited! And such a good format for following the course of the game.
I know these dont get alot of views but I love them and i really hope you guys do more
I do enjoy these things im not sure what to call them but this was fun
I love the look of the Tyranids. I have some but I can't get myself to actually go and paint them.
We need more 40k from the yogs!
Using hot glue to create stringy saliva on that haruspex model was a really good idea! I'll have to keep that in mind for my hungry boi
Not hot glue.
It was UHU.
It's a little delicate and takes some time to dry.
Great stuff though.
@@lexusstormcrow9317 Good to know, thanks!
Many channels find it tough to make warhammer enjoyable to watch but this is so good
great video, I especially liked how you built the tension with lewis' saves at the end! Great work, loved it! :)
These videos are so much fun, I hope they keep doing them
This is such a good format, hoping we see more of this with Warhammer and other Wargames in general.

Incredibly well done battle report. Made it feel alive and good to follow! I don't wargame but like the lore and stuff, fantastic job guys 😁
I'm always down for more battle boys!
The editing and production are fantastic! I'm loving these videos
Great video! Really enjoyed the format and style and can't wait to see what's next! Really appreciate the amount of time and effort that goes into the Battle Report videos!
This is epic more please! Some old school Fantasy Battles would be cool to see!
Always seems like 40k maps are way to small for the scale. Everything seems almost always immediately in range.
Sort of the point really, otherwse the first two turns would just be running all your troops into range and padding out the game time
@@tonyofearth5100 Could be some maneuvering with cross fire rules and flanking etc.
