Good video as ever, always a pleasure to see Damon play and you always choose great armies. Lots of minor rules errors and this doesn't matter that much in itself - quite a few of them had no effect and others got corrected as you went along etc. And in general I would rather watch you two play with some mistakes than watch most others play the 'perfect' game. However, it is fairly obvious that the two of you are still sort of playing 6th Ed in your heads and aren't connected to what the dice rolls mean in terms of outcomes until you go through working it out. The emotional connection isn't there in the same way as when you're playing 6th as things stand and this is funnily enough a bit infectious - watching it I'm expecting 6th things to happen and have to remind myself all the time in a way I don't when watching other Old World. I guess this will change as you play the new edition more, but just at the moment I think your games of 6th are still going to be way better regardless of which is the better ruleset. I also thought this game was a very poor advert for the Old World magic system. Really don't like every spell getting rolled every turn in a straight 2D6 roll-off in this way. Magic still very important (even if it was mainly just in the one turn), but horribly dull and monotonous. Not a criticism of you guys in any way of course.

1:39:47 Is your home rule to not make give ground after combat? Same qestion for army dispel. You can always try to dispel vortex with army dice.

fantastic matchup

Looks like I was re-rolling failed wounds with the Ruby Ring due to the Hagtree Fetish, which is a no-no....and I did know this , but all I can say is the heat of battle and creeping senility made me completely forget. Mea culpa!

Wow! Just finished watching this in full; fantastic as always! Let's address the elephant in the room, Damon's biggest mistake was leaving "Barakgore" (the one true Beastmen leader!) at home, he would never stand for that BSB's nonsense! In all honesty, I'm struggling to identify what actually went wrong for the Beastmen; one strong turn of Orc and Goblin magic and shooting really swung this one because up until that point he looked to be in the stronger position. Shame we didn't get to see the black orcs in combat, but those boar boyz definitely pulled their weight

Awesome bat rep, Old World is the way forward.

That’s the best giant model GW has ever produced. Just large enough, not too busy, no-nonsense. Tombstone tied to a stick. I just spent a chunk of my paycheck on eBay for one!

Great game as always! Hope I can visit and play sometime from the US! Quick thing I noticed so far: according to the FAQ hagtree fetish doesn't allow you to re-roll bound spells like RRoR.

Why is he not a gigante verde?!

I'd say that the -1 pursuit move would apply because you're trying to stay cohesive as a unit while a fleeing unit is breaking up with everyone running for their lives. Just my tuppence. Enjoying the batrep 😂

Love seeing a Goblin v Skellies slapfight😊 Dunno if you counted it but Blorcs are heavy infantry and need to be flanked by a unit strength 10 unit to be disrupted, they would only need 4 models per rank

Very fun swingy game! Damon’s such a good sport too, really nice to see a player with such a good attitude.

What a spicy batrep! Love to see the Giant and Jabberslythe respectively. Couple of rules things to note: Monsters (and Heavy Chariots) have the Lumbering special rule, allowing a free pivot of up to 90 degrees at the end of their move. Quite early on there was a point where the Jabberslythe flew over the river but didn’t have enough movement to wheel to see what it wanted to, but it could have made a free pivot at the end of its move. Each player always gets a fated dispel every turn, including in their own turns, which allows you to try to make a fated dispel on a vortex cast by the opponent even if you’re out of dispel range with your wizard(s). Hope they help! 🙂

1:58:00 Jabberslythe should have been hitting on 3s no? #Justice4JibbaJabba

Hello, Nice game as usual. Few things i saw: Turn 1 : The jabberslythe can’t march and shoot Turn 2 : the chariot doesn’t have a LOS on the razorgor to charge so doesn’t need to test impetuous. He can’t charge actually…

Great batrep, the armies and table look amazing. Worth noting, the Hagtree Fetish doesn't affect the Ruby Ring of Ruin as it's a bound spell. *Edit, also the Orc Chariots have Warband, so you can re-roll your charges, as does most of the Orc and Goblin Tribes army list.

Say whatever you will about Old World-positive or negative-the reduction of magic to just a dice roll is such a bummer. Takes out so much of the, dare I say it, magic?? GW did the same with 40k and it just makes me so sad. Great batrep as always! DAMOOOOO

The Boar Chariot in turn two did not need to roll for Impetuous as it could not see anything, I'm pretty sure the Gorgon was too far away and was the only thing they could see. They have to see the target to declare a charge against it, so the charge in and of itself was not legal either.

Great looking game as always. Appreciate that you guys are bringing big blocks. Not a fan of how they handled vortex/fanatic/etc movement this edition. Things that “move xD6 in a random direction” actually stay still 1/3 of the time for some reason? Because according to the FAQ the word scatter is implied? It’s lame. Downright offensive for fanatics. 1:12:36 on a related note, vortex spells usually say they deal hits to units the *moving* template touches or moves over, so I don’t think the dragon ogres would have taken hits for moving onto the template beyond the dangerous terrain roll. I don’t necessarily like this but I think that’s how it is.

Where are the dead trees from matey?

Stos and Damon, a clash between two absolute legends! Always love to see the beasty boys on the channel, even though I definitely prefer 6th edition battles. The only plus of TOW is that it allows good cheesy Gorgonzola to be on stage, he's awesome!

Warboss Brogg "Porkchoppa" is just awesome! I haven't watched the video yet, but I would follow that Waaaaaaaaaaagh!

Damon deployed in ambush for the intro...

What a perfect way to start the weekend I'm still so confused about old world, but just looking at these beautiful armies makes up for it!

Damon is a legend! Always a pleasure to see him on the channel. Great batrep as always. I hope one day we can see someone bring Ogres to the table for more bestial barbarity

I believe that excellent Jabberslythe was made by Blood Moon Minis. Unfortunately, it's out of production. Also: a vortex stays when units walks upon them, that's why they're often difficult and/or dangerous terrain. Weirdly vortexes doesn't do their magical effects if it walked upon, only when it moves by its own. (Rulebook, VoC as example, page 323) Also also: didn't matter this game but as a charge target that's already locked in combat can't choose to flee it doesn't need to roll a terror test. (Rulebook page 179) Also also also: While it's more fun a "damned by chaos" result doesn't make a model suffer a failed stupidity check, it simply gives it the Stupidity rule for the rest of the game. A unit only needs to roll a single time regardless on how many Stupid models it contains and while it's boring a failed stupidity check says it can moves up to its M which means it can move 0. (RH page 116) Also also also also: Strike last set a models I to 1 before modifiers which means it gets the I bonus from charging. (Rulebook page 178)

I love your battle reports! Thanks for creating it and sharing it!

Amazing battle between the green and the beasts!! Awasome!!🤘🤘 Remember that "warband" rule for the Orc Mobs ("...if the majority of the models in a unit have this special rule, it may re-roll its Charge roll.") It could may had helped El Gigante... but they do the job against the charriot!

Damon is my favorite lad. The guest of the guest. I feel like the greenskins are the unironic good guys in this fight.

Great stuff! The Dragonogres should have given ground after their first combat with Boarboys (and taken template hits); the boars would have taken them also if they followed. EDIT:carried on watching and you figured almost figured it out - you don't have to take a leadership test to decide not to follow up with your black orcs.

Lovely! Needed something this friday. Always lovely to see Damon too! I prefer 6th Ed still but you make cool TOW-armies and then it is pretty fine.. Can´t stand the minimal units, min-maxing and multiple dragons..

Damon was not present in the intro as he is still waiting to ambush you in the next turn

Stos has brought us a new battle report! This is the best hangover recovery I could ask for

great game guys :) i saw a mistake at 1h13min: the impact hit can only be resolved if the charging movement is 3 or more... so the charriot and razorgot can't have it ;)

I love the narration! Everything about your video screams time and dedication. Your upbeat personality is infectious and you always make everyone's day. Bravo sir! bravo!

You should have done a voice-over using the original footage, mimicking Damon's voice 😀

Great BR! A lot of the Orc units have Warband, so you can reroll failed charge rolls, I think. Would have come in handy in several situations! :)

I'm a simple man... I see Damon's Beastmen and I automatically press like

!!?!?? WTH happened here 🤯🤯 !?!? Thanks for the awesome video 😊

Awesome video guys. Your energy is contagious 🤟 As an O&G player who doesn't sport a lot of victories against the undead, this one was a joy to watch! 😂 💚

Vortex of chaos...surprisingly a vortex lol love it

What a great matchup. good to see these two agressive armies leaning into their strengths without falling into tournament cheese as for 1:11:15 : I'm pretty confident it was played correctly. i.e., the pursuit/overrun is not slowed down, but they still have to make a dangerous terrain check and the template stays there until it moves. anti-spoiler zone: And what a great first showing for gorgeous george!

Love the commentary and models! 👌

Great work. Leave the mat, tidy or tidy it away, I don't think it makes much difference. Keep them coming! Those Longbeards are amazing. My favourite sculpts

Would like to see Anvil of Doom in a 6th ed BR using original dwarf army book - it looks very powerful. I enjoy magic heavy lists like your Orc and Goblin army led by Snaggletooth. It's fantasy after all not historical wargamming,! and it's fun when people can get big spells off (or blow themselves up). Vampire Counts - maybe try Necrarch Lord rather than blood dragon for better magic phases and a black chariot for the lol.

That giant is my favourite sculpt of all the giants over the years. I have him in metal and he's serving double duty in my Greenskins and Ogre armies for Old World.

Nah, it is fine filming on the battle field, either works. :) Oh man, those metal Longbeards are soo good! What made me play Stunties back in the day - I had two blocks of 23... Some of the best models from GW ever! Just behind the humble plastic Orc warriors.... ;) Most of the stuff added post-6th Ed is absolute nonsense. Just to sell some new shit.. Cannot think of any reasonable add-ons now.. Might be some.. But sure, try some of that in TOW. Glad you don´t bring it into 6th Ed. :D

Can't wait to see the giant die first turn on his first game 😂

Really cool to see a nice little mob of really cool Dwarf Rangers. Hope to see them soon! In 6th Ed.. ;) I still base for 6th Ed too. Use spacers if you play TOW and really "need" those bases.. I think it looks much better with wooden handles, crossbows etc on Stunties. Not the GW nonsense of the 2nd 6th Ed book and onwards, no wood. So sterile and boring.. Also agree, no huge need for loads of highlights when you batch paint like that. Some chosen places, maybe the command if you really want. A good foundation and washes, ncie bases does alot.

Really gorgeous George giant painted there! This guy went through 6-8th ed traumatising my beastmen… well more 6th to 7th. I recall he didn’t quite have the pizzazz in 8th once everything else got a bit more killy.
