That Eldar paint scheme is 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@thepit40k]

It really is ! 😮

[@kazkorianor]

I mean I think it was yellow

[@pinkyfull]

Just thinking about the masking required makes my head hurt and my heart swoon.

[@JRFO292]

You could say it's a sweet painting 😂

[@jibjibs9401]

@@kazkorianorIt’s the honeycomb that makes it good

[@E1drad_]

Probably the best looking Eldar I've seen in a while. Fantastic stuff.

[@efzmonkey]

Probably the most rerolls I've ever seen in a game. I'm glad they got rid of rerolls this edition! 😄

[@RobinJohnstonphotography]

Some Craftworld graphic designer from the 80’s has gone wild on those jet bikes.

[@skarnak1]

actually, in most cases, you still get assassinate even if the opponent ressurects the character, no matter how they ressurect the character. Unless something specifically says otherwise.

[@andrewt9128]

I was thinking the same thing

[@revenant7734]

Not in most cases. In all cases. It’s actually written on the mission card.

[@user-dz2qj1ys4c]

Just a rules thing, a Warlock Skyrunner gives his Unit's weapons [Ignores Cover] he doesn't pick a unit to not get cover, Vypers take away the Benefit of Cover from one unit that they have hit during that Shooting Phase. The Phoenix Gem doesn't deny Assasination, but you can potentially score it twice from the same Character (kill them in the shooting phase, they get back up, then charge and kill them in the fight phase) A great game report guys, I really enjoyed it!

[@jim4549]

Love your channel Winters. You can tell the love you put in with your terrian.Especially like watching the group play. Just watched an old one with Chewy, Say Hi Paul and the Claw. Miss those guys.

[@ijskender]

The Eldar paint scheme..... beehive style.... wooooow.......

[@combatwombat2134]

That Eldar army is absolutely striking, such an excellent set of painted models; very visually appealing. Thanks for this, Winters; just about to sit down to do some painting myself.

[@redrichmond8485]

AMAZING Eldar paint, but also that Eldar ruin terrain is smokin. I'm not a big fan of yellow as a color, but the yellows in both armies makes it feel like these two have been enemies since their earliest days during the War in Heaven. Really great stuff.

[@euansmith3699]

That paint job on the Scout Bikers is amazing; almost too effective 😄 18:33 From what I understand, the Fate Die has to be expended before the saves are rolled; so, not take-backsies. Normally, I root for Winters to win; but that Space Elf just looks so cool. Go, Pointy Ears!

[@The_Captain40k]

So you can roll the dice one at a time, you don't have to roll them all at once. Hence why you can save one fate dice for the last save.

[@Vichyssoise1000]

That terrain, and the effort that has gone into laying is out is fire. You and StrikingScorpion are the leaders in this. 😀

[@MrKurtank]

The most enjoyable game I've watched, and that's without my usual faves of Sultan and Stylus. Welcome, Captain, to my updated favourites list.

[@ericsmith9212]

Fantastic battle report! That Eldar army is thematic and very well painted.

[@skarnak1]

At around 1:00:00, the technomancer would have gotten feel no pain saves against the precision shots, as he was leading a unit at the time. Mind you, he still might have died, but he would have gotten the fnp saves

[@jayjeffer]

And the normal saves should have been made agaisnt the bodyguard units ++4, then the technos FnP. Precsion only does damage to the character after weapons successfully wounds the attached unit but no 4 ups were made so no change of result anyways :P

[@FarseerB1rdy]

Pretty certain Fire Prisms are S18 on their main beam. They'd have been wounding Doomatalkers on a 2+?

[@joshuadixon979]

Absolutely, great video buuut alot was done incorrectly the entire match..

[@waynegray6278]

Cracking game! Clutch invuln saves, maxing shot rolls, some real hard thought decision making. Had it all!

[@johnbattyll6874]

Looking forward to seeing how this pans out.

[@patriotsfan27]

Amazing paint job on the Aeldari. They look like wasps!

[@guyincognito959]

The armies and terrain look gorgeous!

[@noirceuillesombre3472]

GREAT paint. Immersive. Brilliant 👊😎

[@91elpiris]

What a game. Props to the eldar player for the thematic list and amazing paint job.

[@mischa3726]

just a minor thing: spiders give vehicles a 6+fnp (and everything else a 4+fnp against psychic). since they are vehicles they also get that 6+ fnp.

[@motorhole]

I played that 2 c'tan, 3 wraith with technomancer list a few weeks back with a kooky marine list. Needless to say, got absolutely minced.

[@MrSmokincodz]

A lot of love on that Eldar paint job

[@jesseraen4172]

Unbelievable paint scheme on the Eldar, the beehive is standout but the dazzle camo squad is great too!

[@daemonnexusknight]

Very close game there! And both armies are lovely!

[@redbeardie]

Fantastic games thanks guys!

[@tyger40k]

fantastic battle, gentlemen!

[@SleepySack]

The board looks amazing!

[@mrphgil974]

That re-roll everything on the doomstalkers is ridiculous

[@lyinarbaeldeth2456]

Me: Ooh, I don't recognize that thumbnail. New Winters? Yay, new Winters!

[@WraithRaider]

Brilliant game and down to the wire is is always great. I can't find the rule, but I'm sure killing a character counts for assassinate even if he comes back. The terrain on this one was interesting, having that massive piece in the middle made for some interesting tactical choices.

[@GrimgorRulez]

Those Aeldari are BEAUTIFUL.

[@zHawkC]

I love seeing Eldar die, even beautifully painted ones like these! Winters rolls were insane this game but the last few turns of invuln saves from the Eldar kept them going and almost made up for it. You can take necron warriors in units of 10 still right? Feel like 2x10 and 1x20 is way better when you're tasking them with objective babysitting. Great bat rep as per usual Winters and another good guest. Finally, are we ever going to see my bois the Ad Mech ever again? It's been so long. I know they're gutter tier but you could match them up against another weaker army for a fun game. Seeing these two great armies with all their abilities and re-rolls makes me jealous.

[@rinaskela]

16:55 you can't move shoot move if you have no target to shoot😅

[@rgbminiatures]

Beautiful Eldar army!

[@swabilius]

Stunning paint jobs

[@Batrepjusz-ul4dx]

Pointy Fists looking impressive. EDIT: Cool game, GG.

[@kingfield99]

Just a thought, but with these rare draws, perhaps the side with most points left on the board could be considered the 'winner'.

[@XvShadowsvX]

Was the eldar guy forgetting about eldritch storm on his farseer?

[@edotcom7]

Have I missed something from about 20 minutes in how is the viper and the wind riders getting lethal hits?

[@noapteapestrada7139]

Don't the canoptek spiders have a 6+ FNP aura for vehicles ?

[@LordBelakor]

love the terrain

[@AnimusAgain]

That is a nice table.

[@eyedestroyeverything9953]

That elder army is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@johnpimbley5315]

Great game chaps! Winters, I would recommend Gauss Immortals, especially with Plasmancer! They will put some serious work in for the Canoptek court!👍

[@skarnak1]

and led by an overlord, so you can do the strategm to give them devestating wounds for free once a turn. in such a case, the tesla carbines might work better, as every 5+ to hit will be 3 hits with the plasmancer. And odds are you'll get a few 6's on the wound rolls.

[@tomtenpim7161]

You can't do that anymore, only the plasmancer will get Dev Wounds now.@@skarnak1

[@StuartHarvey-rh3sl]

I think a draw was a decent result, I thought it was going to be all Eldar after the first turn, really enjoyed the game 👍🏻👍🏻

[@goforitpainting]

Cool as always 👍

I like the painting pattern on the Aeldari army. How did you do that honeycomb pattern on them?

[@The_Captain40k]

Stencil, airbrush, and tears

[@neshirst-ashuach1881]

Oh wow, if the Eldar ppayer had remembered to snipe out the technomancer before shooting the wraiths, that would've got a couple more, maybe even got the unit!

[@Dethectic]

I came here for the Necrons, but damn those Eldar looks amazing 🤘

[@ransom1004]

Would the shining spears be better if the farseer was giving them re-rolls to hit?

[@justindavies6012]

Wonderful game

[@joachimmeier7318]

We need to fix Skitarii & AdMech. Badly

[@TheRealKyle]

great game

[@Bangarang.]

Winters!! Doomstalkers have a little gun too thats lethal hits and twin linked. Did yo forget to shoot it?

[@savagex466-qt1io]

Did you use a stencil to paint those hexagons on the elder army ? Looks awsome !

[@The_Captain40k]

Yeah a stencil and an airbrush.

[@zHawkC]

@@The_Captain40k Is that fairly easy to do? Sounds like you can get amazing results without much stress that way. Btw I love how the two fire prisms are mirrored colour wise, looks fantastic!

[@The_Captain40k]

@@zHawkC unfortunately the paint does have a tendency of leaking under the stencils so I end up having to do a lot of clean up

Hmmm if you could only master the less clean up. Regardless they look so awsome ! Well done man well done@@The_Captain40k

[@pawebronowicki4171]

Great battle report I've really enjoyed it but, i feel like the necron player should be hitting those bike units which where -1 to hit on 5+ instead of 4+, or am i missing something?

[@The_Captain40k]

They’re heavy so get +1 to hit if they stay still

[@pawebronowicki4171]

aaa that's right thank you@@The_Captain40k

[@lavrence3272]

Should the doomstalker still have had the rerolls. The check for canaptek court is at the begining of each round?

[@lavrence3272]

Oops its beginning of phase

Waw, crazy game

Yes because everyone running multiple Contemptors, 2+ Sgt Artificer armour and reaction shooting with 10 Lascannon Marines is just perfectly fine 😂

FYI - When they nerfed Fate Dice they also removed the wording that we can't use more than one per phase!

May I ask? Why is it worthy of note? You gain nothing but a sense of self-importance. You could have commentated and added something for all of us to enjoy or learn. Yet, you just chose to fluff your own ego.

[@euphoria7046]

Guys u need to reroll not with the same die, you roll the same crap as before.

[@anvos658]

Feels kind of stupid to me that the neutral control point can clearly go on a side of the map that favors one team over the other. Rather a big downside of a map with such a big showpiece thing in the center. Good for the Eldar player, but still.
