These are easily the best battle reports on youtube. Really nourishes my 6th edition interest every time
6th Ed - Best Ed!
33:30 YAAAASSSS! Curse of fkn years!! Love when that spell actually works
Thats why dwarfs always should have a dispell Rune where u also destroy on 4+
This increased cadence is terrific, great work as always Stos! Reserve some portion of this as commiseration pints for your amigo.
Mate, thank you so much for your incredible generosity! Stoked you're still enjoying the content.
It's hard work to do a good job with these and is much appreciated, particularly for those of us who only get one game a quarter or so. Just glad you're growing and making it happen!
6th edition wfb, a cold wet summer's day, England trailing in the Ashes, it's reassuring how some things never change from one's younger years. Still enjoying your work, thanks
Thanks my man! Stoked you're still picking up what I'm putting down.
59:00 your direwolves are unit strength 2 each so it wouldn't have crumbled. That's what makes them such a good unit for vampire counts. Only 3 are needed to affect a flank charge / remove ranks etc.
By the way I absolutely love this vampire counts army. It looks INCREDIBLE 😁
Yep, totally right on the Dire Wolves. Thanks for the kind words regarding the army mate! I'm pretty happy with how it all turned out.
Just for your future games Stos, turn 2 vamprie charges. The Knights should not have made contact with the grudgethrower and the thunderers. You shouldn't have 'closed the door'.
Warmachines don't have flanks like regular units. You measure to the warmachine, make your one wheel allowed in the charge then move straight forward. The crew models then come forward on that same battle line, so you don't get to clsoe the door and bring the second unit into the fight as there is no need.
Indeed mate. This was miss played. Thankfully the knight's would have blown through the crew and overrun into the Thunderers. So pretty much the same result.
@@rogueelementgaming If it hasn't been mentioned either. The gyrocopter isn't a large target, so your bats probably couldn't have seen it over the unit of skeletons to declare the charge. They can charge 360, but only at what they can legitimately see.
@@recn6149 thanks this answered part of my question about that play. As a follow-up, if it had been a legal multi-charge would Thunderers have been able to stand and shoot? @rogueelementgaming fysa; EDIT: Found the page reference for multicharge in one of comments, will research on my own. Thanks for being such a killer comment mod Stos.
Yes, each unit that has a charge declared against it may choose to a charge reaction.@@abboxley7510
Amazing batrep. The camaraderie makes it!
Couple of pointers for Nick for future games. Better positioning of gyrocopter as he could have positioned gyro so that fell bats could not have made the charge. Behind grave guards for example on turn 2. Units block line of sight against gyro. Also thunderers could have stand and shoot against blank knights as it would have counted as charge against them. Best place for war machines is in the middle of infantry units to protect them. Cheers.
Yeah I had the exact same thoughts!
OMG Nick on the channel. What an absolute treat.
Right! ❤
Loved Nick's energy in this, awesome guest. And your Vampire Counts army looks gorgeous on the field, well done! To me, this was a very entertaining batrep even if it was one-sided.
Agreed! Awesome energy from Nick - a natural warhammer presenter, especially as RNGesus only answered one prayer!!
how am i meant to get any work done on fridays when you keep dropping these 😁
My ultimate goal has always been to ruin you! 😜
Those VCs look awesome. I especially love the paint job on that Blood Dragon, and I think the more fleshy colour on the zombies and ghouls is 🤌
Finally the VC army is ready for battle! My favorite army. Cant wait to see more of these dead guys.
I used to play blood dragons back in the day. Have been waiting for them to make an appearance on the channel. Super excited to watch this one mate!
Was scrolling through the older videos earlier trying to find a batrep I hadn't seen yet but there wasn't any...well now there's one ! Thanks for putting these out, keep them coming !
Solid paint job on the VC and especially the characters. Well done sir
Thank you so much 😀
Another episode already? What a treat!
Beautiful! Stos really outperforms for two matches in a row (last one being that green symphony against the Vampire Counts). It happens only when a general knows his armies intuitively and has a thoughtful approach to army creation. Some details that differentiate this channel from all the others are: high attention to detail, production quality, great storytelling, and the right amount of effort being put into the plan on how to outmaneuver your opponent without losing sight of respect for your playmate. Great guest, great host, and the best battrep content on CZcams. Thanks ladz, it was "such a spicy meat-a-ball-a." P.S. That dwarven cannon really needs to be repainted or something to start working properly.
Man that was a super fun watch. Always awesome when two mates play a game of Warhammer. Definitely a lot of swings and no round-a-bouts lol! Thanks lads.
Thanks mate! A veritable glut of swings!
Good to see the Army finished Stos.
Great looking army Stos. Well done on getting the Spooky Boys to the table at last - achievement unlocked! I look forward to the day when my Goatmen run away from them 😀 Really enjoyed Nick on the channel - hope he makes it back on sometime. All up a tip top vid!
Cheers Damon! It was a long road to get the boney boys up and running. Super satisfying to finally be rolling some dice with them! Defs keen to run them at your goats soon! 🐐
Lovely, lovely, lovely! Thank you Stos and Nick for so much energy in this game! It was a wonderful report, you have been two cheerful mates and you had a lot of horrible/good dice rolling :) Love that you report your errors made in the game in the video! And about the paint curse? Well, you had a curse... A "von Curse" ;) Two minor things about your vampire list: 1. Why do you deploy your zombies 6 wide? You either use them as a necromancer bunker or as a tar pit. Thus, 5 wide would suit them better (I know it's 4 wide ranks in 6th edition, but I also play all my units 5-wide, as I changed everything for 7th edition back in the day and it looks much better XD) 2. I would deploy skirmishers (i.e. your Ghouls) in numbers of (4x + 1), so either in groups of 5, 9, or 13, as you have the best value points wise to pass panic checks. Kind regards FA
Regards from Spain.I enjoy any Battle report you make.I want more !I like the jokes and fair play you have between players( dwarf with bad dices is hilarious)The armies and the table looks very beatiful every time.Thanks!
Super entertaining! Love this channel - such nostalgia for Fantasy!
I have seen lots of battle reports from different chanels but yours are the most entertaining and fun to watch.
But I wonder if some day in the future will you do a larger battle or a 2v2 battle cause I personally played those kind of battles and it was very fun
so I propose of doing that kind battle report.
Have fun doing what you love.
Great bat rep as always ! Your VC army is stunning, well done ! Don't forget the wight blade on the knights ! Killing blowed 2 dwarfs in that fight turn 4
Best batreps on CZcams. Hope we see The Empire on channel soon
Really enjoyed this! Great chemistry between you two! 😃
Agreed!
So good! I started watching your channel as I started making my Vampire Counts army.
Wow, fantastic Bat Report (as always)! Many a curses were cast this day, but it seems the "curse of the new army" was easily dispelled !
Wooow. Another video already? And with VC again? That’s awesome :)
Amazing Battle Report, Great Chemistry between you two and would genuinely love to see more of Nick on the channel! Grudge Match please!!
Yeaah vampires came to stay in the channel!
That grave guard looks A-MA-ZING!!! You're such a great painter man. All you touch gets super beautiful. Great job!
Thanks so much mate! It was a pretty quick paint job, but I'm pretty happy with how it all turned out
Very nice battle, well played sir. But I have to say that the dwarves are always grateful victims for the vampires. Their great strengths, fire and solid infantry just don't pull against the undead.
1. The shelling is great for spreading panic among the enemy. It doesn't work against the undead.
2. Although the infantry is stable, it simply does not do enough damage in close combat to win a battle, since the undead in particular are usually numerically superior.
3. If you want to concentrate on banishing (master runesmith) you don't have a dwarf king and therefore nobody who can stand up to the vampire lord in close combat....
VC are becoming the antagonist of this channel
Inspired me to start my own collection
Great video Christos. Nick was a great guest. Very charismatic, worked well with the chat between you two.
Yeah me and Nick go way back. So good to have him on the channel finally! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great battle, and great chemistry. Think Nick may have to extend his visit, more Nick!
Thank you for these fantastic battle reports. I have been watching all of your videos, which are giving me amazing flashbacks to the good old days. Thank you for these fantastic videos, and I hope to see more in the future. It would be amazing to see a Chaos Dwarfs battle report. Do you think we can expect that soon?
1:45:35 I feel like a dwarf getting stabbed and moaning "Sam" would warrant the wight to go "Excuse me, are you thinking of someone else as I get in you?"
Lol 😂
Excellent Clash! Loved this.
Only at turn 1 VC atm, but remember the Black Periapt allows you to keep a dice from any magic phase, i.e. you could have kept one of your dispell dice from Stunty turn 1 and added it in your VC first turn. I've also heard some keep their opponents dice too as the wording does not specify it has to be YOUR unused dice, though that might be more open to argument :)
Vampire turn 2: could those fell bats really see gyrocopter and thus charge it? It seemed to me that the skeleton unit between them blocked the los.
Also black knights charge on the catapult would not have closen the door. The crew would have lined up to the direction the knights charged and the knights would have maxed against them only.
New army honestly looks so good mate. I don't believe that your characters were a rush job, the lord in particular is stunning!
Thanks my man! I'm pretty happy with how it all turned out.
This is all too familiar! Nesrly every time my mate brings his VC out to fight my Dwarfs! Great batrep
Awesome army my man! Good job!
Great report. I have been on the receiving end of similar thrashings against the Vampire Counts many times. Regarding the unit strength of war machines, refer to Warhammer Chronicles 2004 page 114.
Oh yeah, new video, always lights up my day!
Nick has an uncanny resemblance to Mitchell Johnson and is also from Queensland... coincidence?
Seriously mate, great vid and great channel, Warhammer fantasy means a lot to many of us out here and you are keeping that spirit alive!
Poor Nic...
Tremendous fun once more!
Great battle report as per usual. Something to remember for next game, black knights have killing blow as well. Wouldnt have made a difference in this game. But could be useful in future.
More VC battle reports. Good job!
@41:00 it's always funny when it happens to your opponent wink wink
What Nehek! Our host commands an army of the living dead!
(Congrats mate, army and terrain both look superb!)
Thanks so much mate! Super stoked to finally see my month's of hobby labour come to fruition. 😁
Lovely table and new army Stoss, well done.
Too bad the battle was so one sided, but it's still very entertaining to watch you guys have fun! Hope you'll have some more games together!
Cheers mate! Pretty stoked on how the new table and army all came together.
I feel so bad for Nick lol, his rolls were horrible but its clear that both of you had a lot of fun!
Battle was hilarious, very enjoyable…if somewhat one sided. Nick took the appallingly bad dice rolling like a champ! Vampire army looks amazing good army/unit selection to combat the Dwarf tactics!
Thanks heaps dude! The game was a bit messy, but stoked you enjoyed it.
I really want to continue supporting this channel, but the man's got to loose ;)!
That's fair mate! 😅
Oh wow can you use the same spell multiple times in the same magic phase? I thought that was a thing in 7th edition Vampire Counts.
Having a blast watching the report :)
vanhels? he had it ona couple plus that book?
They're finally here! Love it mate. Army looking a million bucks. Nick was great too. Give him his orcs next time?
Yeah boi! Really happy to finally get them on the table.
Vanhel dance macabre cannot be Cast on ghouls, they’re alive mate.
Indeed. Did you not see the note I put up on screen when I cast it?
Yeah the boys! Great battle gang
Cheers Ryder!
Our children weep for their once mighty lord, bound by the oath of the slayer, seeking peace only death can bring. Our lord returned a broken man, haunted by dreams of fallen clansmen, sightless and silent, wandering eternal, damned by foul magic, denied their resting place with the ancestors. Forever will their names be marked in the Book of Grudges.
Dice gods you are cruel. I like your spooky graveyard and creepy trees, all that hobby time well spent, stunning armies. You two were great, fun game to watch.. you know, it can't end there. What of the clan? What of the fallen lord? What of Sir Dragislav and his filthy necromancers? Come back Nick, come back with new dice.
This comment is fricken mint mate!
Finally get to see the VC in action. And playing the best Vampire faction as well!!!
Woop woop!
Poor Nick…
Pour Nick a pint of Dwarven Trollslayer ale to cement his deathoath!
Already done my man! Poor Nick
When the ghouls charged the flamme cannon, here, we always put the highest number of fighters as possible in contact, so in this case, you would not have choice to clip the other unit on the side. This is the only way to protect the cannon from skirmishers.
In this case how it works? The ghoul engage all 3 units? 1 front and two on the side (ghoul side vs dwarf side)?
@@tizianomoreni6035 It depends on how wide tthey became. The cannon had three crews, so we need to put five guys in front of the cannon. If the five attackers are wide enought to touch other units, yes, the other units are included in the combat. So, we expend the front egal to the number of attackers that are able to reach, as a normal charge.
And in fact, a cannon contains three crew skirmishers. If you charge from one direction, the crew aligns and so on. So, I thing that, in that case, you could clip with one side if the attackers would wanted it.
I think the charge of the cavalry is illegal. You pivot, and move straigth towards the unit you want to figth against and then close the door for free. So is impossible make it with both units...
Beautiful Vampire army. Well done!
Thanks dude! I'm stoked with how they turned out!
I love the energy and I don't want to be a moaner, but the freehand shakey camera gives me motion sickness (may just be me!)
Keep up the good work!
A new battle report already? Oh boi!
Also, hey Stos, I know it's very challenging getting guests to come on the show, but I was wondering if you had ever considered doing a 2v2 or even a 1v1v1? Would something like that interest you? I think that would be pretty fun if it can be arranged.
That flane cannon shot would have been perfect on the wolfs
What a brilliant sport Nick is
Hell yeah!!
HELL YEAH!
Zhe Flame cannon is so good lined up to shoot the Wolf and the cav.
Also why not use the grapeshot from the cannon on the cav
Huiiii! I was scared for a moment when I saw your wonderfully painted vampire army because they are so spooky 👻👻👻 hopefully the vampires can keep up their performance in the next game since they drunk so much beer infused dwarven blood 🩸 🍻 as always great battle report, super fun to watch and entertaining 🤗 and nick was a great opponent ⚔️
Cheers dude! It was so great to have Nick on the channel at last. Glad you enjoyed it!
that Vampire army is beautiful! so happy its finally hitting the table!
Thanks mate! Suuuper stoked to finally be rolling some dice with them.
Black knights also get a killing blow on all their weapons too :)
Waaaaayyy too much sugar consumed before this game! ;-) Great game as always.
Bit confused on how the black knights double charged. Do you have a page reference on how that works?
Would have thought you'd have to actually hit the machine in order for the crew to come out but that may mean you arent maximising on the thunderers as per initial charge declaration.
So, this was handled a bit incorrectly as the Canon crew act like skirmishers and so would align to the knights rather then the knight's closing the door into the Thunderers. The rules for multiple targets/charges are in the appendix page 265. Thankfully in this case the knight's would have punched through the Canon crew and overrun into the Thunderers, so largely the same result.
@@rogueelementgaming ah yes, sorry I thought the initial target was the Thunderers, will have to have a look at those rules though, interesting!
Totally fine with it but, why do you tell your rival the magic equipment you re using?
Commenting before watching, for the sake of the accursed algorithmus… Will be so great to finally see your undead horde ready and on the field!!
Maybe this comment on your comment help the algorith too? ;)
Bloody champion mate! Hope you enjoy it!
@@ja37d-34 I sure hope it does!
Agh! Now I don’t know who I want to win, Dwarfs or Stos?!
59:07, do wolves have unit strength 1 or 2? They are fast cavalry, so they are US 2 if I am correct
They are unit strength 2, I messed this up.
I once witness at turn 1 win by dwarfs vs vamps on a tournament.
The dwarfs shot all the Artillerie against his unit. He failed 2 Look out sir Tests. He lost 2 wounds against the cannon abd 3 against the Rock.
Good game mates
Dwarf player need some more games, not moving in his first and second turn is a very bad decission, he can not protect his warmachines or threat the necromancers...
Some rules mistakes:
- dire wolfs are unit strengt 2, the combat against the cannon is a tie
- when you charge a warmachine, the crew acts like skirmishers, so are they the ones that forme the line against the enemy, and the enemy don't close the door (because everyone is in base contact). In any case, you can not charge two units at once
- I think bats can see the gyro when they charge him, but remember, none of them are big targets and can´t see over other units
- gyrocopter is unit strengt 3
In any case, really looking foward the next one!
Cheers mate!
-Totally right on the Canon crew aligning with the knight's and not the other way around. I completely forgot that about "skirmishers". However charging multiple units is definitely a thing. Page 265 Multiple targets.
-In the OG blue Dwarf book that I use the Gyro is unit strength 1.
@@rogueelementgaming have to check the multiple targets thing...here in my group people say this is not possible!!
Everyday learn a new thing about warhammer. In this game i have also learn zombies are WS2!!! I always played like there were WS1...
Can the Thunderers actually stand and shoot given the fact that they weren't declared as the target of the charge?
Weren´t they both the target?
We are playing here that they could. And, in fact, we always said that the dwarfs are waiting to shot that they are near, so the dwarfs player would have touch a lot more.
Do you think you'll give Old World's a shot when it comes out or are you going ride or die with 6th edition? Just curious. Love the videos!
Definitely gonna give TOW a solid crack. I'm really quite liking most of what I've seen from the rules preview. How long I'll stick with it will depend on how they handle the rules/army books going forward.
@@rogueelementgaming Cool, I'll watch either way :)
a little late to the party but enjoyed the slaughter , vamps looking good fella
A chief is never late. He arrives precisely when he means to. Cheers mate! 😁
hahaha made me chuckle
@@rogueelementgaming
lol me again. love your channel but lol where was the dogs panic test after losing over 50%
Undead units are immune to psychology lol
At 4:18, is that Blood Dragon vampire lord a conversion?
Nah mate. A 5th Edition original.
@@rogueelementgaming Very cool! I'm just getting into VC fantasy so not as familiar with some of the older models. Great report btw
Isn't the vampire book the item that after each use must roll a d6 and with a 1 lose its power?
Yep, completely forgot it. 😑
@@rogueelementgaming Thanks, your report are really well made. A pleasure to watch and i'm improving my rules knowledge at the same time.
Silly question, did the black Knights also had killing blow in this edition?
Yeah, I just forgot it.
@@rogueelementgaming I'm working on a mousillon themed army for the old world so I hope they keep this feat!
Maybe the organ gun would have made more sense against vampire because they dont flee
That outnmber Auto run rule was the only bad Thing in 6th edition
Dwarfs 6.0 book.
"Rules of the Runes" section 4 pg. #19: " Master runes are so powerful that they cannot be combined on the same item or used together on the same battlefield. For this reason Runesmiths describe these runes as Jealous Runes."
I've always been under the impression that only 1 master rune may be used in an army (battlefield).
I'm going to be thoroughly peeved if I've been wrong this whole time.😂
No you can have multiple different master runes across the army, you can only have each master rune once no matter the combination of other runes and no item can ever have more then one master rune on it, even if theyre different
@@Ed-xo9pc Just curious, I don't know the dwarf rules that well, but based on the wording above - "Master runes ... cannot be used together on the same battlefield" -- implies you can't have more than one master run on the battlefield. Was there some clarification on the rules in an errata (or whatever they're called), or is this just how you play it?
@@trisbane4086 rule 4, it says no master rune may be used more than once per army and no more than one Master rune can be inscribed on an item. Master runes are so powerful that they cannot be combined together on the same item or used together on the same battlefield. The wording is meant to indicate that two master runes can't be used at the same time . The prior wording indicates you can have more than one, at least that's always been my understanding
Rule 5 says apart from master runes (which can only be used once) other runes can be combined as you wish to produce varied effects.
The whole passage indicates multiple master runes are ok they can just never be combined in any way
@@Ed-xo9pc Yeah, the passage that precedes the other one seems to imply multiple master runes (just not two of the same type) can be used. Otherwise, one would think they wouldn't have included it at all and just said "only one master rune per army." Alright, thanks for clarifying mate!
@@trisbane4086 there was a lot of janky wording in 6th, often you need to read a whole section for the context and real meaning (or wait for an faq to clarify )
🙌
🍻
Unless I remember it wrong you at least in 7th ed. have roll for leadership to avoid going over the board after over run else the unit is lost.
Definitely not a thing in 6th
@@rogueelementgaming I checked the actual 6th editon rules and the chasing unit that runs overboard is simply removed and then placed back to where it ran over in the next movement phase and it's treated as being moved for the turn it returns to play.
Don’t forget “look out sir!” When trying to keep characters alive in the unit.
My wife adked my why i shouted a big YESSS after he dispelled the curse.
I said just a Thing in a Video i watch
You should have tried some advanced nerd-explaination of why.. No? ;)
Hahaha! So good! It was a big moment.
What Page is the rule for chargeing multiple units.
