Playing anything non-marine is already playing hard mode. This is just 'chef's kiss'
Sultan, you absolute legend. Not only did you help out Winters but you've come through for his viewers as well! Thanks for being awesome!
❤
Glorious Sultan Plays
Sultan for MVP.
@@SultanPlays40k Thank you for the hard work! This report is making my day!
Lorewise this was a catastrophic loss for the Raven Guard. The Militia just need like a week to recruit that many infantry, and just need to empty an alley or 2 of their many Hive Cities. While the Raven Guard's going to need like a decade or 2 to replenish those marines.
Great game though, glad you could save the footage, this was a ton of fun to watch.
This is the reason they were nearly completely wiped out during the hersey. To many battle woth my miltita lol
In my head it’s the artillery that did it mainly. And explains why the marines like shock and awe. They get bogged down by heavy ordinance they are done son. They need to hit the enemy fast and rough and hard before the heavy ordinance looks at them.
Easily one of the best Deployment zones I've seen in over 20 years of Warhammer.
Love Gaunt's Ghosts
I main Raven Guard in HH.
This is one of the greatest batreps I've ever repped.
Keep up the great work, guys!
It's Sunday, I need to clean the house, I need something entertaining to watch and listen to while I do so. Over the hill, like the coming of dawn, strides Winters with a 2 hour Horus Heresy battle report. I grasp my sponge, all is well.
I'm decorating and watching this for the 2nd time
*wipes tear*
Was chuckling to myself about the absurdity of the militia army as they were being explained, let out a full on belly laugh when I saw the deployment zone! Brilliant stuff guys, was like a renaissance painting.
Cheers man, the deployment is daft isn't it
A few weeks back, when you last played James March of War, I commented that he never half arses anything, he full arses everything. This battle report and that Imperial Militia absolutely vindicate me. Holy. CRAP! Sultan, you really are a legend. I am beyond excited to see this battle play out!
I normally root for Winters and against Imperial Guard, but James is such a relaxed and fun player, and his army was so satisfyingly flimsy, that I found my self really conflicted.
@euansmith3699 I'm a guard player in 40k, so my allegiance is also split haha. Either way, this battle rep is utterly glorious!
@euansmith3699 cheers man, I find my self routing for winters aswell lol
I just love that there is so much militia on the table it was physically impossible for the Ravens to flank the army.
The first turn: "oh that was some brutal shooting!"
Then the camera pans up and shows you the other 7 1/2 feet of militia that are untouched.
Perfect. Another great quality militia bat rep. Absolutely love militia, but it's too hard to find one. Keep it up man
"One of the greatest games of Warhammer, I've ever Warhammed." 😄😄😄😄😄(Having watched it, I agree with Winters that this is a great game)
Well done, Sultan, on helping an old man out with his shaky hands. The stabilization works well.
That Guard Army looks great en masse; cool models with a really effective paint job.
55:00 A cavalry charge against artillery? I think Alfred Lord Tennyson wrote about that.
1:36:00 The Dark Furies atop the ruin, "Caw-caw! Caw-caw! Caw-caw!"
Thank you!
Caw caw caw I'm a crow, bag I'm dead lol
The heavy support squads should've been able to reroll armour saves against the blasts due to having the heavy unit type. Either way, still a fantastic game.
Cheers dude
Narratively the "mistake" makes more sense than the rule anyway. Cataphractii shrugging off blasts cos "heavy" makes sense, but when you're heavy due to big guns not tons of armour, it doesn't really figure.
@@dominicskelton3031so true😂
James is an absolute madman! Its taken me about 5 months to paint 3 infantry models and he's painted over 500?!? What a legend.
I love the zoom, feels like you’re part of the story and much more intimate.
Yep!! I cannot watch any other battle reports I don’t know what is what, here winters takes us to every battle
Best game I've ever seen - such a feeling of Astartes super-soldiers smashing puny humans left, right, and centre. It also feels so correct that hubris would mean they didnt bother bringing artificer armour.
It's soooo downheartening going against 2plus saves especially when they have a fnp included lol
@@jamesmarch7824 yeah, but you kicked a space marine to death with a bunch of levied grocers 😀
@finnmaccool3721 yeah we did. That's the way hahaha
This humble guardsman salutes you
Returns salute
Now that's a proper guard army! I love it!
Cheers dude
Shoehorned into the deployment zone, what a sight .. stunning.
Nice salvage Sultan. So enjoyable, thanks guys.
Excellent game! Heads up on your Heavy Weapon Squads, though - they have Heavy, so get to re-roll armour saves against blast weapons!
It was cathartic, as a blast-heavy militia player myself, to see them actually out down those pesky Autocannon squads even so!
Yeah, keep forgetting to remember there heavy
This BatRep ist the good type of insanity. Thank you very much for the work to both of you. 🙂
This was an absolute wonder to watch! If James wants to bring the militia back out once he has the tanks and things, the Death Guard would be such a great matchup too I suspect
They are defo coming back
I need to reread Gaunt’s Ghosts again. That part of Only in Death legitimately gave me chills when I first read it.
Soooo good
The title does not lie. This was dope
Imperialis militia is the most fun ive ever had while playing a wargame. Their rules are complete bananas.
Get yourself a buddy and give it a go on TTS. Amazing time.
My tyrant general shot his remaining bodyguard and was the eviscerated by Kurze.
Perfection.
Thank you so much for this.
They are ace fun to play.
What a brilliant game. Really enjoyed watching, thank you.
Thank you too
Was alot of fun cheers
Supportbubblesultan! He was there when all was shit! Oh best thumbnail ever! Top tier stuff dudelings!
That was everything I wished my games looked like. Gorgeous example of the hobby.
Love your Heresy games Mr Winters. Watching your videos helped me learned how to play HH. Looking forward to watching this!
Ok, that was epic, so glad the footage was usable. Felt like a proper guard army doing what proper guard do facing down the terror of astartes. Even though it was HH, that was very very enojoyable.
Gotta love the massed flashlights doing their job and blinding the Raven Guard that forgot to turn off their night vision.
Now thats a hoard! That has to be the beautiful thing I've ever seen on a tabletop
Thx. God I would love to spend some times with wolesome guys like you! Cheers!
Well done Sultan on saving the day. Glad to see this video made it to the channel.
Certainly one of the best battle report I ever seen, so much fun, so much artillery, so much troops ^^
A costly victory for the raven guard, for sure, but victory none the less.
Thanks for the video :)
Cheers dude
So awesome! I really hope we see more games with James' militia
This Imperial Militia army is absolutely beautiful. They look like the jumped out of a grim dark graphic novel to become alive. Amazing paintjob! Hope to see them again. Tons of kudo to @Marchofwar for this army and to Sultan for rescueing this juwel of a battle report.
Cheers mate
Sultans such a good egg. Main reason I've not missed one of his video just going on a year now since I subscribed to his channel.
I appreciate you
That James chap really is the most awesome of War Marching
Awww cheers matey.
Good effort Sultan.
Batrep was still a lot of fun.
Winters, don’t forget Hammer of Wrath for your jump pack guys on the charge!
Absolutely amazing battle report! Watching hoard militia fight against near god-like astartes makes me want to start my own hoard militia.
I'm excited to see more games with militia!
Seeing the swarm of Imperialis Malitia has gotten me to pick up my paint brush and start on my Guardsmen again. Cheers! Got 50 of 330 infantrymen painted.
Also I cheered at 1:19:00 when 15 seconds after saying "Im going to beat him with a stick," said levy then beat a space marine to death with several pointy sticks.
Could just picture guardsmen being melted by the jet bike doing a skid turn in the arch, make an excellent art print! Holding the flag in the background on the bunker, someone with skills pls...
god, imagine if we had orks or tyranids with the kind of rules militia has. Great battle report!
Proper green tide
I have nothing but respect for anyone who plays either militia or Solar Auxilia this edition. The nerf hammer hit them hard.
Fun little note about this video - if you watch closely enough you can see everything stretching when the camera moves. Nice work on cleaning it up Sultan - to get it this far is pretty amazing. Can't imagine how bad it was before.
Winters said its a banger. That means its a banger.
Truth!
It rained, and it rained, and it rained steel all day long.
Wow, hats off to sultan for sorting out the visuals and hats off to march of war for running a malitia army. I did once and won't be doing it again in a hurry 😂
A "Veteran Crew" t shirt with some art from these guys on it would be badass. Great game
Thank you, winters and March of war, for this amazing and funny game
Cheers mate
Winters: *Picking a unit to target* "I'm aiming here which unit is that"
James: "Fuck if I know"
Awesome battle report and that Militia army is just insane!
As someone who owns 20 dark furies ..I'm looking forward to how they do in this battle
That was incredible!
This has convinced me to try the Horus Heresy rules.
When I first made my guard army I had basilisks and infantry, I added mortars and autocannons and 1 lascannon because it fit my lore but there's so many cool models
In Dedicato Imperatum Ultra Articulo Mortis 🔥💀🔥
i like this new close up view for the minis!
So. Many. Models. Glorious!
Brilliant game! The Guard needs some more oomph, but gave a the ravenguard a hell of a time!
Two things re: this battle.
1) Up until now, I have always believed that whoever rolls the most dice per turn, wins. Now, . . .
2) I have a little portable table I use for rolling dice on, to prevent knocking over terrain and rerolling dice sitting sideways. I can now add No Space Due To Models to my list.
I'm 7 minutes in and this is insane. The guard are beautiful as well as numerous.
Wow that militia, what an army
Soooo many modles
I don’t even play/ understand HH but winged makes it look so close and scienmatic!!!
Christ im only at the army showcase and i already know this gon be a B A N G E R
Just.a friendly reminder that artillery cannot react in any phase. Loved the game!
Cheers matey, I've got that in my brain now, I filmed with say hi paul shortly after this so my artillery were overwatch in that aswell lol
Awesome Battle Report.
Gotta get a pair of traitor armies vs this army with the goal being whichever traitor legion gets more points from killing the guardsmen wins. Would be hella cool.
That would be fun mission, I'd like to bring more but the deployment zone says no
@@jamesmarch7824 Hahaha
I was unprepared for the volume of meat for the grinder
Going first was a big advantage
This was an amazing game to watch.
This was glorious!
Incredible…really brought to life the Warhammer artwork I love so much 👍
Cheers
Man winters, make a save haha. Awesome battle
Artillery unit type cant ever react, something to remember for next time but really cool game regardless.
Is it that they can't react or that they can't fire indirectly, I thought they could if they have Los? Maybe
@@jamesmarch7824 Units containing one or more models with the artillery subtype can't run, declare or make charges, or make Reactions. It's one of the bullet points of the Artillery subtype.
My jaw was on the floor from the deployment. What an incredible game.
That image stabilization was tripping me out during the army overview. Like the models were breathing
Man milita is awesome. I firm believer that milita are the orks of 30k. You win even if you loose. Just rolling dice and having fun
WINTERS IS GOAT!
Yea Battle reporting is Winters domain, he is lord here.
That was awesome! The militia have to return
Booked in, I'm painting tanks ready
Woo hoo! Love your work!
Incredible militia army 10/10
Loved this!
Great batrep. I love my Militia, pain in the arse for events but otherwive I love them ❤ wish there was more batreps with militia out there. Only thing is I think the Las cannon rapiers are not able to make shooting reactions.
I'm not sure if you've changed the settings on your camera winters, but you've got a weird warping effect on this video and the one with the eldar where the farground seems to get warped. It's causing me to feel motion sick when watching, haha. I always love your videos so this is a new undesirable challenge!
Note this is only when moving, from what I can tell
Those two videos were rescued from destruction using tech wizardry, hence the visual anomalies. No further videos have been affected.
@@wintersSEO amazing thanks for letting me know!
More of this please 🙏
This was a banger!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOH I love a good game to listen to and watch as I am painting up my minis
What a beautiful imperial army.
Nice match
Greetings form germany! :)
Hello Germany
Unbelievable. Do they use Solar Auxilia rules for Imperialis Militia?
Militia have their own rules pdf
Should be easy to find
I love those Militia so much!
Cheers matey
Horus Heresy narrative campaign when?
Well,
oh man we warhamming
If we do get the 3.0/2.5 edition update next year, I do hope they get the armies closer in balance. I’m never looking for 1 to 1 balance, but they can get a lot closer than they currently are. Making the legions closer and making SA, Militia, and Mechanicum able to actually go up against astartes and have a chance without only able to play a very specific list and that’s your only option. Give guard and solar and knight players a chance. I know Mechanicum can win, but it seems you have to run more specific units all the time. It just limits the list options. Great game though. I know Lore Reasons, but it’s also a game and we should want as many different players and armies and combos as possible. Here’s hoping.
ITS A BANGER!!!
I dunno why....but James looks like he could play Nicolas Cage in a biography about Nicolas Cage
EDIT: OH MY GOD THATS A LOT OF GUYS
Hahhahah, cage
tips for the next game add at this list armory of the old night and give all your 400 infantry the lasrifles XD
really stunnig battle rep i hope to see more militia in this channel!
Cheers, will have a looksee
that is a lot of lightning claws
It's been about 4 years but I've never heard winters hype up a battle before the video starts! I'm excited. Still a bit sad it's HH and not 40k though
Love it
