5000 point Horus Heresy battle report, Space Wolves vs Traitors

[@Buffaluffasaurus]

Holy crap, 5000pts Heresy report? Instant click for me. Thanks Winters for being the best batrepper on KZbin.

[@jorzolek01]

And he does it armed only with a cellphone.

[@strigoi_guhlqueen8355]

I really hoped to see a big game like this at some point. I am so exited. Wow what epic fights. The two Dreadnaughts ripping each other apart. Primarchs going ham and terminators killing each other. A true spectacle worthy of the horus heresy.

[@watts18269]

I was proper biting my nails at the russ/horus face off at the end 😂

[@adamngiraffe409]

Interesting coincidence that this was to show up in my feed as I'm currently reading Wolfbane 😅

[@wintersSEO]

Nice

[@myrar8708]

Great to see you do more Horus Heresy, and with 5k points! Awesome

[@isaacwhitehead4975]

Love your battle reports, keep up the good work!

[@chrishaynes3505]

Vilka Fenryka!!!! For Russ and the All Father!!!

[@warpaintjj]

Loving this 30k content 👏 Keep it coming please X

[@smalwex]

Aaaah a lazy Sunday afternoon accompanied by my fave creator! Thanks for the bat rep winters!!

[@ozzydozzy73]

Amazing game to watch! Eidolon and that tactical squad facing off against Freki and Geri were definitely the MVP's of that match

[@GPFallaize]

As a Space Wolves player myself, our Slayers and Stalkers are not good unless bullying other regular infantry. If they encounter any melee elite units they tend to fold. Also, unless you are decking out units with power weapons, even with a large number of attacks we can and will bounce of larger units who can absorb the hits.

[@DeusExMachina10001]

To be fair to them, ~200 points for a 10 man squad with Power Mauls and/or Lances is not at all bad.

[@BRMCaptChaos]

Brutal. Cacophony are hilarious, Eidolon hater here, but he fights well. Horus having no reliance on anyone else and getting it done. Abaddon will be dishing out press ups to the Justaerin who let the boss go without protection. Varagyr were pros. Thanks Winters, a good Sunday evening you two make.

[@iain-duncan]

I just bought leman russ yesterday.... so hyped....

[@paulrobb2118]

Love these Heresy games. Always a ton of fun to watch!!

[@FilmArtet]

love the heresy battle reports! keep em coming

[@robinhood6990]

At the end a wounded horus teleports to the invincible reason and is immediately slain by the lion

[@sonofhorus82]

I've always wondered, after filming another great batrep, how do you go about cleaning up all the small stones? Just pick all the big stuff up first and then scoop them all into a bin? Or break out a shopvac and vac them all into a bin?

[@wintersSEO]

Once all the other bits of scenery are away, a quick dust pan and brush does the trick.

[@RobJonesWrites]

This is going to be utterly brutal. LET'S GET IT ON!

[@ShaddySoldier]

Luna wolves dont get enough love. Sons of horus are a cool chapter. Children of the emperor, too. Excellent.

[@redrichmond8485]

"There are no wolves on Fenris." Yeah, because they all dropped in on Winters. What a fantastic battle report! Damn Russ, you scary.

[@Insheneliminate]

I'm not well versed on the Horus Heresy game, having only a loose sense of what is happening from experience in earlier editions, but I really enjoyed that battle! Very fun, a lot more swingy then I realised. Great epic battle at end even after the rounds had been finished. As a person who plays Dark Angels and eternal rival to Space Wolves, I don't hate the ending result >_>

[@johncolvin2754]

Horus running after the wolves 😃 epic!

[@simonpeaty]

I think the comment at the end of Metric vs. imperial might have just turned me to Chaos! 😂

[@simonjackson1571]

Oh my! 5000 points!

[@pascal9055]

Is Horus being played as 1k Ascended here? It is the model, right?

[@wintersSEO]

Nope. I mention this in the army selection. It's the ascended model though.

[@pascal9055]

@@wintersSEO Got it. Regular warmaster, played with the newer model. 😊

[@Bigjonmetal]

Horus really doesn't need a Spartan, he can deepstike.

[@wintersSEO]

Horus can do whatever Horus wants.

[@adamthompson7038]

Wow. I LOVE mega battles. More of these would be sexy. So would seeing Horus Ascended on the field.

[@TheDarkjulian]

HH 5000 pts!!! ❤❤❤

[@traitorouskin7492]

Going off the lists can we put money on this? 😊

[@pranakhan]

I've a tourist really, I've never seen that Space Wolf faction before; kind of a Foreign Legion vibe. I dig this battle, very dynamic

[@ricksanchez3204]

Does he have any painting tutorials on his sons? I really really really really really really really really really really really really want to know what color green that is

[@whiteleyadam]

that’s a lot of Grey in that impressive Space Wolves Army

[@unkelTP]

You can tell in the first few minutes Space Wolves are going to win. Winter coming in with a fun list, Sam coming in "I am going to end you!"

[@Roylevis]

EPIC!

[@danvlasuk]

Whooo let the dogs out haha

[@Kaijufro]

I still want to see you hat Horus Ascendent would do

[@CannibalKubi]

Some of the best Heresy videos on the net, here on Winters. Keep up the good work! One question: "Primarchs alway have to accept challenges"...is that so? Where can I find it? I checked the relevant rule sections and couldn´t find anything about this.

[@wintersSEO]

I think that's a brain fart from the previous edition

[@rryannn1]

man horus looks good. how much did it cost to get painted? I got a quote from a painting company; it was 40 models for $5,000 witch seemed too much for me.

[@caoyitang]

Kerfuffle!

[@mrphgil974]

The space wolf requirements for hit and wound rolls for melee seem way too high

[@markward1803]

Great battle report, might seem like a minor thing but I love how you roll dice on the table instead of what a lot of channels do and use a dice tray which I hate as it takes the view away from the action.

[@gavinkemp7920]

excuse me winters how is the first line in this video not "the wolves are fighting"

[@thexydis]

Hey Winters, Primarchs can shroud per the FAQ. Keep up the great content

[@thexydis]

47:10 wounding on 3's +1 from axe, + 1 from russ -1 from SoH Legion Trait

[@Thedagda801]

Delicious gentlemen! ❤

[@andrewt9128]

A comment for your gods Winters

[@Cabooseforprez2012]

The sons of horus missing their -1 strength hurt me. Still a fabulous battle report though.

[@samnash1960]

Luckily didn’t matter to much as I had +1 Strength on the Charge.

[@yurybarsukov6166]

Megareport! 5k points! We like it so much! Wow wow wow! Spoilers: Ruses landraider immobilised ws a key, becuse he wasn't in battle for too long

[@wintersSEO]

Wow

[@AgostinoManea]

metric system ftw

[@baggiestbilbo4427]

I don’t think primarchs have to accept challenges. Love the game tho. Massive games are the way forward

[@brutallica2944]

Horus slain by Russ... Oh yeah, Horus got real lucky Sanguinius was there instead of Russ.

[@bildwerkrostock1322]

couldnt watch it, the colour grading and exposure is just to off. And is there a filter over the picture? almost all the micro structures are missing.

[@CharlesCranford-y9k]

Well it's HH instead of 40K. Still gave it a like for ya Winters. Thanks for the effort any way Charles in the Colonies

[@Cabooseforprez2012]

Honestly at this point heresy is a better system than 40k. The rules allow for far more customization for your units, universal reactions are simply better than strategems, vehicles don't feel like fleshy blobs, and there's far less fishing for 6's gameplay.

[@chrisg2739]

I always wondered why people play acting like their miniatures know what is in the vehicles. It seems really gamy to withhold a movement because the player knows whats in the tanks but there would be no way for your army to know what is in the vehicles.

[@whiteleyadam]

There should be a random element thrown into the game where you a role die to determine what/who in the vehicle before they disembark until the last one is empty. For both the platter and the opponent in would give another layer of excitement as the wrong/right unit appears in front of the other player.

[@finlayames6216]

⁠@@whiteleyadamit wouldn’t make sense to have it random since there is no reason their commander wouldn’t know what is where. I could see a kind of blind system where contents are kept secret and only revealed when they get out. Course that would slow down the game and make it possible for people to cheat by secretly swapping round where units are if not properly managed. Still an interesting idea.

[@Cabooseforprez2012]

On real war to an extent that's true though things like antennas a d optics can help you figure out. In 30k and 40k most of these guys have transports barring heraldry and names that spell out what exactly is in there. Remember these are knights with guns and lasers. Plus here it's pretty obvious since Russ needs the spartan and the terminators need the land raiders.

[@thisisbullshit6visix]

woohoo fun times
