As a brand new player to Warmachine, I found this video extremely helpful and was very easy to follow. I love how you explain everything in a nice, slow, and easy to follow manner. I'm not new to wargaming (previously played Warhammer Fantasy and 40K) so maybe my background helps me understand better, but either way I just wanted to say how great I found this to be. Thanks for posting!
You can also vissit thepleepeduppotcast (enter pleepeduppotcast if you wath to find the channel) they do simular battlereports
I really enjoy your battle reports, so much so that I have a hard time watching other reports where they just set up a tripod and just record audio over it. I really appreciate the effort you put into your videos, particularly the different music for each player's round, the different angles you use and the close up of the damage boxes.
Please keep up the fantastic work and give us more battle reports!
Yeah there always end up being a few rules issues discovered after the game. I'm glad people comment on them as it helps me remember in the next battle. Of course one of the biggest parts of the game is remembering everything so in that I hope I am at least getting better with each video. Thank you for the encouragement =)
Cool army report, nicely done by the Trollbloods. Your damage animations are nice and does help the viewer see the damage caused much better than on other battle reports I've seen. I would like to see both armies fully painted but that is a minor problem. Looking forward for more :)
I appreciate the feedback. I've been trying to put a bit more emphasis on having armies fully painted (or at least close to it) lately.
+WarGamerGirl Yeah I initially would not watch your channel for the non-paint, but I got over it. LOL
And this from a wargamer who has never fully painted an army....
For videos, it definitely makes a difference, but you are working in a niche right now that is very under-served. Good work.

Archivment unlocked: „Oh Shut Up!“
Let Kovnic Joe repeat the same speech for three rounds. ^^
One of the better batreps out there. I love it that you you explain the moves as they happen, as opposed to most who pause video and then give summaries after each turn. Please keep this up!
These are some of the best edited and most helpful videos to watch. Sorry about your loss!
Bloody hell, what an awesome battle! I thought Trollbloods were done for up until the last turn. Well played, and great video. Keep them coming, these have been a great introduction for me into Warmachine and hordes.
This series of videos is fantastic. Especially WarGamerGirl's activity in responding to rule clarifications (rulebook page numbers to boot!). Great report, great follow up and great gaming!
One last thing, I don't play warmachine or hordes, but I almost know how due to the precision of these videos alone. Thanks!
Wow!
One of the best battlereports I have ever seen. Very nice editing, she manages to give a good overview of the game, highlighting the important Events without beeing boring. Keep it going please, I'll make yure to watch your other vids!
I haven't played Warmachine for nearly 2 years now, but your exceptional battle video has inspired me to pull the old Sorscha list out of storage. Maybe I'll get crazy and finish painting my Strakhov army while I'm at it.
Best battle report I've seen from you yet - probably best battle report I've seen period. I love the animations when you're showing the damage being marked. This battle report is also a good example why you should never concede a game until you actually lose - it looked like the Trolls were doomed, but that last do or die assassination run from Mulg made all the difference.
I would love to see your conquest fully painted that one arm looks amazing
I am severely impressed with the quality of these battle reports. I may have to try my hand at one of this level sometime. Thanks for raising the bar!! :D
These BatReps have solidified my decision in getting into Warmachine (especially since I've chosen Khador as my faction). Thank you for the work you have done on these, they are absolutely wonderful. Can't wait to see more of them.
Thank you! It's getting there. I'm still figuring out con stuff for the year. Adepticon is looking pretty tempting right now.
EXCELLENT BATREP! I'm a huge fan of your format! Quality work like this will really help expand the community.
Wow even when I was editing I didn't realize I did that. You're correct that CRA should not have happened. Also a DEF bonus would have applied to the Shocktrooper at 31:00 - but that didn't effect anything in the end.
I'm not sure the Manhunter could have been hit with Primal Shock. eDoomy can "choose" the warbeast and therefore does not require line of sight to it, but must "target" the Manhunter, therefore DOES require line of sight to the Manhunter. If it works as a channelled spell (because it does state that the point of origin is the chosen warbeast although that doesn't NECESSARILY equate to a channeled spell) then the channeler needs line of sight to the Manhunter, so it still wouldn't work. However, this may be just one of those things they need to errata.
That was excellent. As someone that is just learning about this game, it was a HUGE help to me. It has given me a much better understanding of the game.
Very well put together Bettle Report! I'll definitely be looking at some of the others. Glad to see the Shocktroopers getting a look in!
Really like your battle reports, well presented and clear narration makes it very fun to watch.
really enjoyed this battle report, not sure if the music in the background is a new thing but it made it more enjoyable.
Awesome video, liked the way you explained what the different spells and abilities does, and the animation of the health is just awesome! keep it up!
You have just named three units I do not yet own =)
At the time of this report I was still trying out different casters with the Conquest.Thanks for watching the report though, I do appreciate the input.
Learnt how to play a basic version of WM the other day. I used Khador for the game and i was very impressed with the whole set up and rules. I am playing the game for the second time tonight in our local wargaming club.
I did not see that coming.
Great report, great production quality. I miss playing.
WarGamerGirl .. the report was awesome and thanks for taking the time to make a quality piece. Who doesn't goof up on a rule or two every now and again... :) ..
Sportsmanship is Ideal for making good games memorable
The troll player should have put rage on mulg and just beat the devastator to death while the mauler should have charged and engaged the man o wars. Also Doomshaper should have thrown mulg's animus on himself to stop some of the spell casting.
You can't CRA a model who is engaged in melee.
In order to get the charge for a CMA, ALL models have to have charged,which they didn't.
They did seem to forget the axer and that MoW were in combat together.
As for the CMA, where their +str buff was also forgotten. Womp womp.
Videoso Yea some of these older bat reps are full of mistakes. If you've ever seen earlier batreps from miniwargaming for warmahordes, the cheating/mistakes are ridiculous.
so people make mistakes it's not exactly a tournament for world domination. calm down
pawn63295 I am calm, and people pointing out mistakes and misplays in the comments help readers and possibly the players in the video if they read them.

I'll put the link in the video description.
Sorry I missed your show but always enjoy seeing new battle reports from you. Always feel inspired to start playing after watching them
Wow , this game looks like a ton of fun and your battle reports are fantastic. I'll definatly have to read more into this
This one took a long time to finish. The game took place September 2012. The rest of my videos have about a one month turn around. I started playing the MKII ruleset in the Summer 2011 and have always fought for the Motherland =)
Anyone else that could tell that she was super salty at the end? Her eye twitched like she was ready for a fight. xD
Great video. Keep it up!
Wargamergirl is doing the best bat reps on the Internet. So much hard work goes in to these bat reps I'm sure.
Couple notes:
Collassals don't gain an aiming bonus unless I'm mistaken.
Also you can CRA into models in melee. (The axer)
Most wargame recaps or game plays I see are usually poorly done, but this one was quite entertaining and engaging. I myself do not play warmachine but I ended up watching the whole thing in the end. Nicely done.
Oh, my gosh. These battle reports are so cool. I really like all the video effects.
Excellent production-best around. love the camera angles and the graphics. great voice
The spell Primal Shock uses the target beast as the spell's point of origin. Spells do not suffer the firing in melee penalty when the spell's point of origin is in melee with the target. In short, the Manhunter did not get any bonus.
I love your videos, they are so clear, informative and well put together! Many thanks for sharing them. Going to have to start collecting Warmachine now!
With doomy and any beast with reach the threat range is huge. At times I hate the tricks that hordes has against machine armies, but it is all part of the game. I love that you did magnets on the conquest,makes that base to base movement very important and easier to do. Great batrep. A rematch should be done, and show him the full fury of the motherland.
Agreed, the boosted attacks hits the charge target, but everything else in the thresher are consider a normal damage hit. You can force to boost it.
also, just a couple of small rules things that I'm sure people have already brought up.
1. you cannot combine range attack into melee
2. models/units with iron flesh on them cannot charge because the spell reduces speed.
3. (for the troll player) the Dire Troll Bomber has to force to throw a second bomb, because on his card he has 1 bomb with ROF 2, instead of 2x bomb.
Great videos though, very well done and I love the music!
A minor rules note that I don't see mentioned: On the turn in which Boomhowler Rage Howled (yet another weird choice of order of operations by the Troll player), he should have remembered that Rage Howler is -2 to enemy AND friendly jacks/beasts in CMD. It didn't appear as if he applied the penalty to his own beasts.
now this is a batrep with production value...this is my first time watching one of your vids, and i'm very impressed...it's how all batreps should be
First Marc Koetters is talking about the range attack @ 27:18 not the melee. Next she didn't add +4 to the Axers defense (on top of the Gobbers cloud) because the Axer is in melee range of the Man-o-war (Axer has reach). Then when the first range attack missed they didn't see who it did hit.
By the way, Your graphics and Presentation are Fantastic! This is one of the best battle reports I've ever seen.
i really enjoy your high quality battle reports - really great job on those!
i'm just returning to the warmachine hobby (sadly had no time for it - studying law) and your battle reports really helped me a lot getting back in (and into the rules).
looking forward to more battle reports (maybe another menoth game *fingers crossed*)
all the best =)
As I came to Warmachine just recently I love watching your excellent edited and narrated BatReps, plze we want more of that! I even subbed and let me tell you... that means something! ;) Unluckiliy you are playing Khador and I decided for Cygnar as my mains, so at least I learn to know an enemy faction... keep up the great work, I'm definitely going to recommend your channel to some friends!
I really enjoy your reports the style is easily enjoyed while interesting and informative. The Lucky Robot surviving as long as it did was a real surprise and I'm sure many people have underestimated the Mulg super charge-goad-tree of death assassin run.
your paint job on your minis are awesome! i am also a khador player so i absolutely love these batt reps!
I also noted that the CMA on the Axer by the winter guard should not have boosted damage, as a couple of them didn't move over 3" - all models have to gain the charge bonus in a CMA on the charge in order to gain a boosted damage roll.
In retrospect that probably would have been the best idea. I think I was still playing too conservatively with Conquest and was sticking to an attrition plan. That and I definitely underestimated Mulg.
First, I really love your battle reports and they have inspired me to start a Khador army myself :)
Second, I don't know whether you are now aware of it, but when you shoot into melee, and you miss, you don't automatically hit another model in the missed model's proximity. Instead, you roll to hit separately. I just wanted to clear that one out :)
Keep on doing this, it's great :) one of the best Warmachine battle report channels around :)
This might be dealt with in future videos, but I just have to say, you guys need to remember that deviation distance has a maximum range of 1/2 the original distance. I'm pretty sure some of those deviations in the video should have been much shorter
I'd just like to add to the comments and say that your bat reps are outstanding. I especially like how clearly you speak, and how few verbal ticks you have. You dialect is nice and non-regional and that makes it even better. Top notch, very professional, and I hope you go far.
Wow, can't believe it's almost been 8 years (didn't even know Colossals were that old)
I really like your meticulous reported battlereport. This one was awesome, nice to see your opponent win for once lol. Also a cool fight. Your battle reports are the best on youtube! Awsome work!
Amazing quality on this video! You did a fantastic job, WarGamerGirl! I look forward to your next video, though, I do wish you could load them more often than once every month or so. =/
Absolutely fantastic batrep as usual Miranda. Only one little, totally game changing, mistake I could see. Mulg was forced to stand up, then the warlock went, then Mulg activated again, ran over and killed your warcaster!! :p
minor point: terrain may not be placed inside of deployment zones, which is the case in this game. not hugely game changes, but it probably would have made a difference for the Man-O-War unit.
I didn't really get to stretch the Conquest's legs in this battle. I was pretty happy with how it performed overall. I think I was up on attrition until the end, and being able to shift from a gun platform to a melee beast at that point would have been perfect. At least that was the plan, lol.
The yellow trollkin guys were Boomhowler & Co. They're actually a Mercenary unit, not native to the Trollbloods faction.
Once again a most enjoyable battle report. Yes, Trollbloods' charge ranges can come as something of a shock. Nice to see such well-matched opponents. Were the colour schemes adapted for the video so that each model/unit was easily distinguished? It really helped. Also appreciate the explanation of what happens as each spiral is knocked out. Looking forward to the next report.
Because the beast is the point of origin for the spell, the beast's line of sight is used. It cannot see the Manhunter because she is in the beast's back arc, therefore the Manhunter is not a legal target.
I want more of these! They are amazing to watch!
Yet again another great vid, nice to see Trolls my favorite faction by far, just got myself Mulg and hope to see him take me to new levels within our local club.
another fantastic batrep. keep it up! the game was very entertaining and could have gone either way.
with my conquest i try to keep it near some impassible terrain to only give my opponent one avenue for flanking.
you really gave the pain to the trolls, and i'm glad the troll player kept up the fight! sometimes its disheartening to see your army melt before you. so good job trollblood player, and well done on seeing that opportunity to assassinate! :D
1. Just search forums for how each army plays and what casters/warlocks can do and overall strenghts and weaknesses. A caster can completely change an army. For the most part, however, you can play your style with any army.
2. If you still aren't sure, just go with what appeals to you the most, model or lore-wise. I started Mercs because I like the idea of being flexible for scenarios. I can be good guy or bad guy. I also liked how the models look and the background lore.
You've got a great style to your battle reports and I look forward to more of them. As a Khador player myself, I personally felt a pang of sadness at the loss of 'Lucky'.
Others may have mentioned it, but one thing to note is that you can't charge if you're slowed down (i.e.: Iron Flesh incurs a -1 to speed penalty) so you would've wanted to let that come off if you were going to charge the WG.
great battle report. I really like the battle and all the intense action. Doomshaper really brought the pain. The bomber +far striek combo is definitely something to watch out for. Don't forget the conquest wants to be in melee, it rolls dice plus damage on just about everything it hits. The conquest also really wants superiority on it from Irusk to get into melee and put a beating down on anything it can get to. The conquest isn't as specialized as the hyperion or storm wall are for shooting.
I just want to say that I'm a big fan of your videos. They have excellent production quality for a battle report and are a joy to watch. Also, though there are some rules mistakes they are no more than I'd expect in normal games I play myself, so don't worry about them too much :)
For the Motherland!
Nice battlereport! I really like your style, and I think the animated spirals/damage boxes is a nice touch!
I do have some points to mention though... at 27:16 you mention that the Troll Axer has defense 14, but you are forgetting that he is also engades with the MoW shocktrooper, which would increase his defense to 18. That would have made some of the ranged attacks miss.
Wow, just wow. You have earned yourself a new follower & I'll be passing this video on to friends. This is almost equal to RHQtv level of quality & attention to detail in your video. I love the thematic music.
Really great production values. I was impressed! Ive never fielded a collosal but it didnt seem to earn its points that match.
Thank you. I use Adobe Premiere 5.5 to edit everything. I know a computer animator who makes the graphics for me.
A Colossal cannot gain an aiming bonus while engaged, Colossals book pg 22. Conquest was not engaged so I can get the bonus. I cannot CRA a model in melee, MKII pg 62. The only exception to this I know of is when aiming at a Colossal or Gargantuan.
I would have charged the Conquest in to get Mulg. But then again, I would have ran eSorscha. Feat turn would have been good. Love your battle reports. It was great to see the Man-o-War's in action. I've never considered them before.
Good game. It was funny how you renamed Devastator Lucky the Robot and way you said "bye Lucky" when it went down.
mostly resin with some metal detail bits, you can find pictures of unpainted ones posted on various forums.
It's nice to have you back in action. I see you've been busy since your last battle: new damage graphics and a Conquest, very nice. Now all you need is a Battle Engine and you're set. The trailer for Collosals mentioned that they weren't trying to make something that you had to have in order to beat, with this I can really see just what they meant. Question: who were the yellow trollkin guys, I couldn't find them on PrivateerPress? Thanks for coming back and always giving a great show.
Miniwargaming Dave is running a live show right now. He is commanding his chaos minions to comment bomb me =)
No I haven't put the Bombardier together yet...the box has about 1000 pieces in it.
These are really well made. Would really love to see videos of other games as well! :D
I love your battle reports. Do you do your own video editing and graphics or do you have someone helping you? Also what program do you use?
Keep up the awesome work!!
Nice Battle Report. I love the music! Oh, and the war dog grants +2 Def against melee attackers doesn't he?
Yes he does. Only Khador Warcaster attachment, if you don't count shrapjack (...) witch you shouldn't since he is a companion.
I really like the music.
And thank god, a Colossal BatRep. I swear to god, I've been looking for Gargantuan/Colossal BatReps and found only ONE vid until today. Thank you.
Not sure why when the Mauler attacked "Lucky the Robot" why he bought extra attacks instead of boosting damage
I actually own the Bombardier Bombshell from GenCon, but I still have to purchase the actual Bombardiers. They certainly seem awesome but IFP are coming first.
I love that you add what i would assume to be the appropriate music for each army well done keep up the videos cheers!
Great vid 1 Can't wait to see your minis all painted sometime.
wow, best batreps ever, great play by play narration and the animation of the life spiral is really cool!!
im subscribed!
Great Video. I like the intro and the play by play. I have to agree with most of the others, the list you brought for plrusk wasn't the greatest but you did well with what you had. I knew you'd be in for a challenge as soon as I saw your opponent's Trollbloods army. Too bad the Conquest never got to shine really. Maybe next time? :)
Keep up the great battle reports. I do enjoy them.
I think These batreps would benefit greatly by adding post game interviews, discussing list construction, tactics and final thoughts on the battle, otherwise great vid very well polished! Oh and one more thing, more painted models!
The balance come in from other factors, you can force a beast to do more, but they tend to have lower Armour and generally have lower POW, without Rage the Mauler would have been swinging at POW 16 against the Devestator.
Warmachine factions also have access to stronger infantry and have longer spell lists and generally have better feats than Hordes casters.
Thanks for your awesome quality of Battle Reports, and there was a couple of rules problems (I'm sorry I'm a PG they kind of stick out), but I believe they have all been commented on. But I'm sure you will iron them out and continue enjoying playing the great game of Warmachine and Hordes. Please keep the very good quality videos coming.
DICERAGE!! 31:06 :)
That was fun to watch! And, I look foreward to the next one.
If the Mauler had boosted all the damage rolls he could have seriously crippled the Devastator or alternatively thrown him out of the way with the chain attack or let Mulg deal with him and unleashed the mauler on the Man o Wars.
Excellent quality Betrep! Loved the end haha! Brilliant
Just to let you know,a thresher is a simatanius attack so,you get boosted for all attacks on charge. I saw only 2 die rolled on the Aaxer's charge
