Hi Andy, do you have any ideas on how to better score the game? I'd love to know your thoughts. Happy New Year!

The one big thing I see as stupid in this game, that I havent even played yet :D, is the possibility for 3!!!! saves on a model. That is just stupid game design. I made a Dwarf army in december 2024. Looking forward to death by dragon at some point :)

This first game was horrible and boring, and i just saw the summary...Happy new year Andy!

Lol love seeing line hammer armies lose,specially dwarves

Why get a Halfling army and paint them all brown! 😢

Imagine playing Chaos then prancing around the back lines avoiding combat like a girly elf. I say that as a proud girly elf.

Great job on your wins and happy new year!

Great show as always! Recently i've had some luck running a line of 14 quarrellers with great weapons as a budget unit of rangers.

having only played 4 games before this tournament you were a gentleman at the table and made it a real fun game. Durthu made it a much closer game than it should have ;)

Scorched earth both players can burn objective. Underdog just makes 1 own objective harder to control for enemy

With alarielle on board any sylvaneth　unit can come back

Underdog isn't complicated. You are　underdog if your opponent has more vp's or has doubled you(without being 6vp or more behind). 1vp behind? Underdog. 10vp behind? Underdog.

Dorghar gets to become a giant three-headed murderbeast with claws and wings, never has to worry aboit predators or spears, and definitely gets as much hay as he could ever want now. And he kinda wears Arcaeon as a hat! Arcaeon on the other hand, gets a slightly bigger hat, and an entire ornery mass of factions to herd. I don't care he's got one more god's blessing over horsey. Arcaeon got done dirty by Dorghar in the favor department. That's what happens when Grimgor gets ya.

i'm working on a similar double dragon list! here's what i've cooked up so far: Stormcast Double Dragon 2000/2000 pts ----- Grand Alliance Order | Stormcast Eternals | Lightning Echelon Drops: 2 Spell Lore - Lore of the Storm Prayer Lore - Prayers of the Stormhosts Manifestation Lore - Manifestations of the Storm ----- General’s Regiment Krondys, Son of Dracothion (560) • General Questor Soulsworn (220) Stormstrike Palladors (380) • Reinforced --- Regiment 1 Lord-Celestant on Stardrake (480) • Mirrorshield • Envoy of the Heavens Knight-Vexillor (110) Liberators (100) Praetors (150) ----- Faction Terrain Stormreach Portal ----- Created with Warhammer Age of Sigmar: The App App: v1.7.0 (1) | Data: v216 glad to see somebody else brewing something similar!

Thats like 5 years worth of my hobby allowance. Cant wait to see how you bring them to life at the end of a brush.

Is there nothing you won't do in the name of "science"?!

Using Krondys as bait... when they have longstrikes, grandhammers and yndrasta in the sky was not wise at all....

Well i don't get you all playing grudge throwers, you hit 1/6 times so you get 1 legit hit/game, you can't call it reliable source of damage

Congrats on best painted, and thanks for the entertainment. Cheers!

Have been good to listen you you and Dr. Blaxill on this, since I've been very much on the fence about Old World. Mind, I haven't been able to play too much myself, which is always sad (personal experience over hearsay always), but from what I've heard the exact problems I felt the system had after first read-through of the rules and a couple of half-games are exactly what others identify going forward. Scenario-play and role of core units and infantry being the first and foremost issues. I've been on KoW for the past 4 years, and I know you have as well. KoW isn't perfect by any means, but at least it feels like it's tackled the scenario play and unit-based win conditions. The scenarios aren't astounding, but it's absolutely more interesting to me than Kill all over again (I had enough of that through WH 6th to 8th). I understand Warhammer will always be Warhammer to people. There's a certain charm there that's undeniable. Nostalgia, great art, fleshed-out world... But that said, what do you think yourself is the overall discussion on KoW-TOW spectrum? I know comparisons to an extreme are not healthy. They're two very different games, and best of all, you could play both or either with the same models, more or less. So, both good. But if KoW has already "solved" some of the most glaring issues people have with TOW...? So, like, what's the word on the discourse?

Thanks

Lol those combat res' are so funny.

I completely agree that the rules should encourage armies that look like armies. There's loads of other skirmish and individual model games out there... warhammer should be infantry blocks and cavalry units with a healthy amount of fun (and sometimes bonkers!) single models of all flavours supporting them.

Thanks Andy for the content. Any clues where your opponent sourced his Black Orc chariots from?

Andy take some time to maybe use sections. I have no history with KoW but wanted to check it out, but cant tell which army is which.

hi, it was very entertaining to see how far you can extend the rules. Maybe everyone recognizes that infantry needs a little push. Thanks for your great match reports, keep up the good work. Greetings from Germany

Could the peg knights have charged over the rangers and into the canon or catapult s???

miners might actually be a funny thing to include in a line-of-doom list, so they can pop up behind the opposing inevitable line and rear charge them! it's probably not very effective, but it would be entertaining at the very least!

It's 'Rowhammer' but watch out for my Napoleonic 'Columnhammer'.

Ive always assumed its pronounced Ool-layk-son

Always love the science

If the enemy also has scouts that could hurt too. Beastmen chariots in front ambush from the back?

Love this content ! This IS WARHAMMER.! I think trying to destroy a line of dwarves is a perfect way to play the game ! And yes much better strategy in this game all around. More please.

The end of the line!

As Wellington once said: :it was "the nearest run thing you ever saw in your life". Great battle report. When you first announced the 'challenge' I immediatly thought of the nomadic waargh.

Haven't watched it yet. I think the Orcs should win.

The swine has also mustered in a line! Will the dawi lines hold?? Tune in next time. Same line time, same line chanel!

Ugh, close order is worse than line hammer…yet here I am watching.

What is the strategy for dealing with Ambushers in this deployment?

I Think great Deathstars of OaG, Khemri and Vampire can handle it with out of a problem, i also would say Chaos Dwarfs with much Hobgoblins (they shoot you down and if you come in to combat 2 Wizzards who gives your unit each -1 to hit (-2 in total) with SoA) Than i would say flying (maybe high comabtress units with steeds of shadow) / fast armys who could attack you in the flank that you maybe give ground over time of the table

I would say our Vampire "WTC" liste for the Teamtournament in 1 1/2 Week ;-) we have a Unit of 60 Grave Guard with Drakenhofbanner. Behind them a Unit ghouls for same like your worriors and to save the necromancer (the can bring back up to 19 each round) and cast the spell for more Movement and Weapon Skill and the spell for reserve move Innside the unit Helm of Command so normaly together with the spell the have WS between 5-9 and a illusion Vampire Count who can cast -1 to hit and doppelgänger so the GG hit you on 3+ and wound on 2+ most times and you most times only hits on 4+/5+ and wounds on 3+ and you cant bring back modells

Advance behind hundreds of sacrificial zombies. Engage front asap with max ethereal units. Create flanks to attack. 1 dwarf to fight at either end. 👍

Vampire Count with Flying horror, Master of the Dark arts, Duellist's Blades, level 3, Lore Familiar, Lore of illusion (spectral Doppelganger). Screen him with lots of Zombies on the approach, position him to charge into the flank against 1 model, where you don't get a stand and shoot can't issue a challenge and can't use support attack. Have the rest of the Vampire Counts force position close to your front so you can't move. The Vampire Count will over the course of a few turns blender the unit. 6 attacks (+2D6)at strength 5 -AP every combat. The front and the rear of Lines are no go zones, the flanks however are very weak. Perfect for fast, flying small units to exploit. I think a good fix for line would be that a units fighting rank can only be two models wider then the number of models it is engaged with. So if engaged with a unit of 5, 7 is the maximum fighting rank.

If i had to build a list to fight this it would have at least 4 rat darts to flank and 2 units of rat swarms to to just hold them in place

I believe that your questor soulsworn should have attacked your opponents stormvault in the first turn, making take their land extremely risky if you put 6 questors all in combat range of the terrain piece 😮

You can stand and shoot against units that are so close? I thought they had to be a minimum distance away...

The Saviors of Cinderfell have a lot of attacks, but are pretty low output against anything that isn't a wizard. However, they're extremely durable as long as they're sitting on an objective.

You didnt break it, it was already broken on release by retarded GW

Maybe run a single huge poison Skeleton Infantry Cohort (about 150) with multiple Tomb Kings/Heralds on chariot in them, supported by multiple Priests resurrecting the big block each turn? The Line vs The Brick :D They need to move up to you, poison Volley Fire as they approach, so you get quite a few shots in, but with 2-3 priest+general with the BSB reroll they can resurrect about 6-7 each turn, any once they are in the Kings can go to town on the Rangers / characters, they can be built pretty killy with a lot of wounds (effectively each king+herald is a 12 Wounds hero to kill) 46:41

What do you think about dropping Yandrasta for Neave & Co?
