The sororitas' charge on turn one reminded me of a Ciaphas Cain quote "That was all we needed, a bunch of psalm-singing fanatics in power armour getting in the way of a properly co-ordinated military response. I hadn’t had much personal contact with the Ecclesiarchy’s orders militant in the past, but on the few occasions I had done, I’d found their undeniable martial prowess so closely allied with the worst kind of Emperor-bothering tunnel vision that deploying them effectively in anything resembling a coherent battle plan was all but impossible. The best you could hope for was to point them in the vague direction of something important to the enemy, shout ‘heretic!’ and leave them to it. If you were lucky they’d put a useful dent in the opposing forces, and even if they didn’t, at least you’d got them out of the way before they started preaching at you."
"excuse me, do you have a moment to talk about our lord and saviour, the god emperor of mankind?" "umm......oh look, a heretic!" "where?!" "there!" "AAAAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!"
SPOILERS FOR BATTLE BELOW A pain-driven penitent man-robot sawing a diseased, pus-filled chaos lord into mulch, then being melted to death by his acid blood, is about the most Warhammer thing that's ever Warhammered. Bloody great battle.
I always love watching SayHiPaul. His knowledge of the lore of EVERY army and the beautiful painting of EVERY army is just astounding, as @nipitas Bless Saint Paull. When Paul used the +1 shooting act of faith on his Battle Sister squad, not sure of his command point situation at that point, I was a little surprised he didn't use it on his Cannoness then use the 3 point strat that gives that act of faith to everything in her bubble, so every sisters unit within 9" would be hitting on 2's.
I love Paul, welcome back mate! Love your paint jobs Paul.. Sisters sound like they could be a top tier army if played correctly, with command points and Faith points.
Hooray! Winters and Paul! It’s always a massive treat to see two beautiful armies that the two best players bring together for another epic battle. And I’m more than happy to see that the Paul Curbishley Fan Club is as successful as I knew it would be upon it’s inception. All that was needed was to name it, and Paul’s awesomeness would keep it barreling forward like the juggernaut it is! Once again, the two of them present us with a visual treat, narrative brilliance, and armies with backgrounds that are something that I’d be interested in reading about in a codex, or even a novel. Obviously, Winters’ narrative of the Thirteenth, as presented in several “Storytimes”, is a really imaginative and well thought-out background story- and every time Paul comes for a visit, he brings an army that is full of characters that he’s obviously given thoughtful backgrounds to. It’s apparent when he shows us the army and gives a thumbnail story of each character that Winters points out. I’ve never once seen him at a loss for words or detail when Winters asks about a specific model- it’s not made up on the spot (or if it is, he’s a master of coming up with stuff at the drop of a hat!) or just dismissed with an “I don’t know, I haven’t thought that out yet”. Aside from all of that, though, is just how likeable these two are- a great afternoon would consist of having a game with them, and sitting around talking into the evening with a few drinks. Failing that, I am pretty happy just to get to watch the two of these gents enjoying a game full of good-natured banter with a couple of beautifully painted armies. So, Winters and Paul- thanks to the both of you guys- this is a great start to a new year!
My first impression to the sisters: "Ah, space battle nuns." After seeing them fight, "Ah, space battle nuns, with war machines that just killed a bunch of zombies...."
Their lore in black library actually makes the twist on the Ecclesiarchy all the more hilarious. You see the Ecclesiarchy are actually the absolutely most Humanitarian and by far the most Tolerant faction of the Imperium. But they are also the ones who hold planetary holidays where you burn women on stakes, and have your poor put on plays of battles with live weaponry and instructions to kill.
By the Throne! I've never seen anything chew through terminators like that Penitent Engine. These are Blightlord Terminators too. Holy death machines indeed!
What an epic battle. Great back and forth. The command orders is a fun twist and adds a lot more strategy. I love these bat-reps. The descriptions and explanations you give are fantastic. Thank you.
BEST...BATLE REPORT...EVER!!!! The narrative was INCREDIBLE!! Love this game! I liked the way you both took bad dice rolls in stride and kept the game moving forward!
Amazing game guys! Both beautiful armies. Thanks Paul for bringing the sisters and not the saint! It's so much better watching an army play without special characters. Winters you almost always do that and thats one of the reasons that this is my favourite channel.
I love to see Paul playing, he is a true fan of 40k and a guy that everyone want to have on the other side of table. Great content, great reports! Keep them coming!
Have to say, I watch a lot of reports and the tables you set up are by far the best i have seen. EVery report has a new and fantastic layout! I would kiill to have even half of the terrain you have!! :)
Great BatRep. Paul confirms his legendary status once more. Very fair guy, great sense of humour and true to the lore which makes WH40k for me. Not forgetting you Winters, great stuff. You two have a great rapport. More please!
Love Paul, his armies are top notch, his enthusiasm is second to none. Also he knows the lore and fluff of his armies and seems to really get into playing them. Have him back more please.
Heavy Blightlauncher... three more die, nice. And do it again! Three more sisters "they are taking a pounding!" That sounds wrong - "Winters" HAHAHh XD
With Mortarion battling elsewhere it might of been good to see Typhus in your death guard list, haven't seen you experiment with the pox walker synergy to their full potential. Also; PAUL PAUL PAUL!
Also this isn't competitive mini-max this is playing a game for both their and our entertainment. The current SoB if you're not troop spamming with 4+ invuln, vs most armies you will struggle
Great report, Winters. Nice to see SayHiPaul too, always a joy and his narrative touches are great. Are you going to use CA18 terrain rules (Cities of Death) at some point? I've found they add quite a lot to the gameplay and feeling of the game as well as reducing the overall lethality of the opening turns. Some notes though: - Remember Death to the False Emperor, Penitents would've fallen much faster. You'll get it one of these years ;) - Flails of Corruption are flat Damage 2 instead of d3. They also spill like mortal wounds, more sisters in the middle should've died. - I think Blightlords can only take one special gun per 5 models, so you had too many Blightlaunchers in there. - When Piling In to another unit one didn't charge, you can't hit it. The charging player can only hit units they charged, though they get to hit them back.
I hate how many disgustingly resilient saves he makes. But a thoroughly entertaining game none-the-less. Great work on the video and stay safe, both of ya.
I watched this 2 years ago and have watched again today and its still ace. When Nurgles rot has passed I hope you two get together for some games again.
Fantastic battle report as always, love seeing SayHiPauls enthusiasm when he's on. Feel like it would of been a pretty different game without the sub-optimal hq choices, pox walkers and rhino's. And has to be said winters, that rolling was sad 😅 Keep up the great work
Awesome battle, as others have noted paul is an excellent opponent. One thing i saw missed was that the Simulacrum models also have a bolter, and i was fairly surprised Paul did not attempt the 4+ deny the witch stratagem.
Great battle report! Gw really should make a system similar to 8th where you can spend 5 points or something to give you’re chaos lord or sorcerer mark of nurgle, so disgustingly resilient and all that. Would probably work for the other chaos factions too.
Ave Imperator. A great showcase of the beta codex. Liking the new faith system(Well I say new, anyone remember the witchhunters codex? lol) Nice to see Paul get a win. (Click FOOOOOSSSHHH ARRRGGGGHHHH! lol) Those poor plaguecasters heading for the hills thinking "Blimey......How many flamers?" lol. I would really like to see the sisters get some bikes, having a T4 2 wound option would be huge for them(And if every 3rd model gets say twin melta/flamer option or hell even just the option to take a melta/flamer would be enough. I'm not greedy.lol) Thanks for the batrep guys. Always a pleasure to watch.
Great game, I love watching both of these players. When the penitent engines fight twice they pile in and consolidate each time, if you declare two targets you can activate, pile in kill your target consolidate, activate again and pile in to the second target. You have death to the false emperor against sisters as well.
I very much enjoy Paul when he is on the channel. His love for the game, enthusiasm, and desire to add to the headcanon. Just wish he had a Blood Angels army to bring to the channel!
@@maddragon7363 nope every 6 with the flail are another d3 attacks. But in that game He would still failed to wound. He was very unlucky in his First 2 turns xD
Fantastic battle report, really nice to see Sisters purging the unclean :) I used to play Ebon Chalice in past editions, but now I'm considering switching to the Sacred Roses, they seem much more tactically minded.
Hello, came to watch the new sisters in action, am impressed! Although at 32:20 the pox walkers take a cover save against hand flamers! Also the Plague Marines at 1:02:30 naughty Nurgle, Tzeench is the god who cheats xD
At the end when Paul says he's bringing his Blood Angels to face your Tyranids, vut it's on deployment zone 😭 😭 makes me want to sub just to see his army!! Sorry winters 😂 😂
For the record.....we don’t mind when Paul digresses.
Paul Digressing is a Very Educational experience!
I like Paul, his enthusiasm for the game and his armies are top notch.
Me too! I am always happy when Paul is playing Winters. Also, props for having the Sisters. It is nice to see different armies in action.
On top of that it seems like paul brings something different every time
Everyone loves Paul. To hate Paul is heresy and will incur archo-flagellation.
@@travisatchison8429 well the man probably has more armies than shirts this point XD
Agreed, he seems a little more giddy when playing orks imo. nevertheless its always enjoyable watching when hes playing.
Semi-naked women getting drived by a whip.
"Nono we totally follow the Emperor, no Slaneshie here"
Happy when I saw sisters, happier when I saw Pail.
Pail is best.

Hahaha, I'm totally reading those books now.
Brilliant comment buddy. Thanks for taking the time to share the wisdom of The Hero of The Imperium.
@@wintersSEO thank you for the brilliant batreps, and thanks to hi Paul for being the best guest
Thanks so much for this. It was such a great quote, ive started listening to the books. They are brilliant, just my cup of tea :)
Every time Winters forget Death to the false emperor, a Nurgling is forced to take a shower....
That's a lot of clean Nurglings :)

Better Call Paul!
"That's why they call them MISSiles"
...
:D
I give up hobby time for more PAUL. Please more PAUL.
I love it when Brian Blessed comes over.
That's clearly PAUL! the blessed sir
I love Paul, welcome back mate! Love your paint jobs Paul.. Sisters sound like they could be a top tier army if played correctly, with command points and Faith points.
What more could I ask for than Paul, Winters, and Sisters of Battle? This is like everything I love about Warhammer.

Got to love when Paul is here!!! Amazing battle rep winter!! Keep up the amazing work!!
Best death guard army i've seen- they actually look like they are rotting and degrading.
They are great. That being said, I love Justin from The Independent Characters' DG!
As they should be. I'll resist going into an 'Outer Circle' style rant (whom i fully emphasise with) but... pls get rid of the tentacles GW.
My first impression to the sisters: "Ah, space battle nuns."
After seeing them fight, "Ah, space battle nuns, with war machines that just killed a bunch of zombies...."
"Meat-based battle robots" damn the Sisters sound awesome.
Their lore in black library actually makes the twist on the Ecclesiarchy all the more hilarious.
You see the Ecclesiarchy are actually the absolutely most Humanitarian and by far the most Tolerant faction of the Imperium. But they are also the ones who hold planetary holidays where you burn women on stakes, and have your poor put on plays of battles with live weaponry and instructions to kill.
I really hope they don't change them too much when the codex is out :-)
By the Throne! I've never seen anything chew through terminators like that Penitent Engine. These are Blightlord Terminators too. Holy death machines indeed!
That SoB army is fantastically painted, great work as always Paul! Good see you back on the channel.
From BreisVegas in Aussie-Land, all the best for the New Year. Thanks to you and your guests. A great channel.
What an epic battle. Great back and forth. The command orders is a fun twist and adds a lot more strategy. I love these bat-reps. The descriptions and explanations you give are fantastic. Thank you.
Dang, Paul always has the best armies.
Saint Paul of Ophelia VII and his Nefarious Nunnery?
BEST...BATLE REPORT...EVER!!!! The narrative was INCREDIBLE!! Love this game! I liked the way you both took bad dice rolls in stride and kept the game moving forward!
It's a Paul episode, which can only mean one thing...
Every comment is about how its a Paul episode.
Great video, I would like to see more of paul in your videos he's great!
SAY HI PAUL
Love when Paul is on the channel with you Winters, best batreps on CZcams.
Amazing game guys! Both beautiful armies. Thanks Paul for bringing the sisters and not the saint! It's so much better watching an army play without special characters. Winters you almost always do that and thats one of the reasons that this is my favourite channel.
Superb battle report! It's fabulous to see such enthusiasm for the game, the miniatures and the lore all in one place 😊
I love to see Paul playing, he is a true fan of 40k and a guy that everyone want to have on the other side of table. Great content, great reports! Keep them coming!
Great fun to watch. Very funny listening to two 40+ blokes trying to avoid upsetting the more sensitive amongst us. You did very well.
One of the best battle reports I've seen! Those sisters look incredible!
Leave it to Paul to have all the ladies ;^3
Cheers boyz!
Have to say, I watch a lot of reports and the tables you set up are by far the best i have seen. EVery report has a new and fantastic layout!
I would kiill to have even half of the terrain you have!! :)
Paul is the kind of guy I'd love to lose against, you learn so much, even when he's learning a new army!
Paul's knowledge of the lore is exemplary. He is very concise and yet knows a remarkable amount of detail.
Great BatRep. Paul confirms his legendary status once more. Very fair guy, great sense of humour and true to the lore which makes WH40k for me. Not forgetting you Winters, great stuff. You two have a great rapport. More please!
What an incredibly fun game to watch. Also really helps that Paul is so lovable and entertaining too.
Any batrep featuring Paul is always a pleasure to watch.
Love the videos man. I feel guilty for not being able to support this channel. But as long as it's free... ya dude.
"If you add all the Space Marines together they would probably be able to conquer the galaxy"
The Necrons would like a word with you
Easily the best batrep I've watched in years!
I like your dudes, great matches to watch, good voices to listen to while painting. :)
YEAH PAUL!!!!!!!!!! You to have awesome chemistry, i dont skip a single second of your vids with Paul haha
Another great winters battle report. Brilliant stuff.
Love Paul, his armies are top notch, his enthusiasm is second to none. Also he knows the lore and fluff of his armies and seems to really get into playing them. Have him back more please.
Paul’s enthusiasm is brilliant! Great battle report all round.
Love you two guys... magic stuff 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Fantastic game, pleasure to watch. Your banter is hilarious.
My two fav wargamers, perfect to watch whilst I finish some models :)
i love paul so much, he honestly is the type of wargamer i strive to be if i can ever get over my anger issues. love these batreps man.
Heavy Blightlauncher... three more die, nice. And do it again! Three more sisters "they are taking a pounding!" That sounds wrong - "Winters" HAHAHh XD
I'd love to see some model spotlights with these reports! Maybe at the end, or as another video! Love the videos!
Always great to see Paul. I know I'm in for a solid couple of hours entertainment.
Great game gents
With Mortarion battling elsewhere it might of been good to see Typhus in your death guard list, haven't seen you experiment with the pox walker synergy to their full potential.
Also; PAUL PAUL PAUL!
He used it in a free for all game a while ago
Also this isn't competitive mini-max this is playing a game for both their and our entertainment. The current SoB if you're not troop spamming with 4+ invuln, vs most armies you will struggle
Winters + Say hi Paul = best batreps ever!
I may be biased but

This video's casting of Paul acquires this video an instant like and placement on my favourites list
The Battlereps with Paul as guest are just the best ones. :D
HI PAUL!! :D yay!!! Great start of the new year
Great battle, but to be honest, with the week I've had I needed to see Chaos destroyed. Thank you for an entertaining bout
Really enjoyed watching this battle report and I mostly enjoyed seeing the Adepta Sororitas in action.
This has made me so hype for the new Sisters of Battle!!!
Great battle guys!! I hope we see more Paul's sisters battle reports on the channel
YAHHS SayHiPaul is back :D
I watched this 2 years ago and have watched again today and its still ace. When Nurgles rot has passed I hope you two get together for some games again.
The Nun Jokes have made up 5/4th of this episodes comedy, and it's brilliant!
Miss...iles. The man's a legend! Such a higher calibre man than the other ones you game with.
Cue a single tear rolling down the other man's cheek.
I really like SayHiPaul. He plays fluffy and you can tell he really cares about the armies and the lore. Seems like a real fun guy too!
Fantastic battle report as always, love seeing SayHiPauls enthusiasm when he's on.
Feel like it would of been a pretty different game without the sub-optimal hq choices, pox walkers and rhino's.
And has to be said winters, that rolling was sad 😅
Keep up the great work
I've been looking forward to you doing a batrep with SoB!
I am always excited to see Paul he is always funny and enthused
Love Paul, he knows the fluff and history as well as how to play well. Love his armies and enthusiasm for them.
First time watching this channel. Paul is awesome lol
That is a beautiful Sisters of Battle army, well both armies were gorgeous, but the sister's army was especially gorgeous. Good game!
Paul truly is the Brian Blessed of wargaming, we need more of him in this hobby.
I came for the cool battle report and found myself fascinated by Paul's detailed lore of the sisters.
I always enjoy watching Sisters. And Paul sounds like a blast to play with =)
Paul is a fluffy mushroom.
I like Paul. Always great battle reports.

I very much enjoy Paul when he is on the channel. His love for the game, enthusiasm, and desire to add to the headcanon. Just wish he had a Blood Angels army to bring to the channel!
This was, by far, the best bat rep in recent history. (For sure the best of this year so far. Har Har har.)
When that cocked dice was a six by my reckoning, ah Paul, you're just a sweetheart!
No death to the false emperor? Each 6 with flails is extra d3 attacks using flails. Flails carry over wounds.
This was frustrating to see missed every round. 😬
Yup I noticed this too! Shouted at the TV a good few times.
wait isn't it just one extra attack for the flail not d3?
Kris Mahloudji why are you watching CZcams on a tv 😉
@@maddragon7363 nope every 6 with the flail are another d3 attacks. But in that game He would still failed to wound. He was very unlucky in his First 2 turns xD
Fantastic battle report, really nice to see Sisters purging the unclean :) I used to play Ebon Chalice in past editions, but now I'm considering switching to the Sacred Roses, they seem much more tactically minded.
Hello, came to watch the new sisters in action, am impressed!
Although at 32:20 the pox walkers take a cover save against hand flamers!
Also the Plague Marines at 1:02:30 naughty Nurgle, Tzeench is the god who cheats xD
"My deployment zone is crawling..."
"It's an ugly planet, its a NUN PLANET!"
XD
Would you like to know more?
Winters: "Yes", "Yes", "Yes", "Mhm", "Yes"
I love those robotic yes and Mhms xD
Love me some angry pyromaniac space nuns!
At the end when Paul says he's bringing his Blood Angels to face your Tyranids, vut it's on deployment zone 😭 😭 makes me want to sub just to see his army!! Sorry winters 😂 😂
