CoS with a mix of units, S2D without Varanguard spam & two gamers with the right attitude.. I appreciate this content greatly ^^

[@BattleshockWargaming]

Thanks alot! We want to make great videos, we don't care who wins as long as it is fun and cool to watch. Thanks for the kind comment! Happy Wargaming!!

[@adamray7249]

HYPE! As a Slaves to Darkness player these are my favorite 😁😁

[@BattleshockWargaming]

Me too! This is a classic Host of the Everchosen list, hope you can join us for the premiere :) live chat and lots of fun :)

[@limpbrisket3812]

I feel like cities look so much better on paper than they actually perform.

[@willroarty1512]

People saw one combo did the math and said they were broken without testing it. The warforger spell is good but when your opponent does whatever they can to stop it you won't get it off.

[@BattleshockWargaming]

The book is still new but im not convinced with fusiliers. I am more interested in steam tanks or even dark elves

[@Johnny-Thunder]

I have never seen a battlereport in which the Cities won. They just can't do it...

[@MrTBass11]

You can thank the whiners on socials and the content creators on youtube. GW is doing a good job at balancing, but sometimes they nerf Just for the sake of It.

[@Rythla]

I play cities of sigmar, I come 2nd in an invitational tournament (got smashed by seraphon in the final), they are very strong but also quite complicated. Only thing that needs nerfing is the command corps :)

[@wolfmanjim21]

I feel your frustration with this one, Michael. There are games where the dice fail you, but holy Sigmar that was rough!

[@BattleshockWargaming]

There were for sure some game deciding movements were the dice ran out of juice and left me high and dry

[@NillieBoi]

Both armies and the table look fantastic guys, definitely looking forward to checking out some of your other battleplans! Would you guys be interested in coming out to Eastern Oregon for a narrative event in April?

[@BattleshockWargaming]

Possibly, I just heard about your narrative event this week while at rune and board in portland. I was looking at the event page this morning and eyeing my schedule

[@buffpaffpiff]

Did I read Slaves to Darkness 😉 already like the video! :) cannot wait for the awesome game!

[@BattleshockWargaming]

Glad you are excited and its been excellent talking to you in chat

[@buffpaffpiff]

@@BattleshockWargaming was fun chatting with you and your AoS battlereports are hands down the best out there!! always fun to watch 👍

[@wargamerwilly8756]

Fantastic battle report! What a tough one for Cities! I wish my Slaves to Darkness performed like this!

[@BattleshockWargaming]

Yeah, they did it all this game! I think hitting the knights in cover was a huge trap, and the chosen tanking wounds was great

[@xxPsychoTychoxx]

Come on cities lets purge these heretics!

[@AK_J81]

Whew! I bought two of the slaves Christmas boxes, and now it looks like I have a real tough army I get to assemble.

[@BattleshockWargaming]

You are going to love them once they get assembled and on the tabletop

[@austinroy-stewart1268]

Love S2D! Let's go! I've been building a list for them with Legion of the First Prince and Be'lakor + Eternus combo! I'd love to see a Be'lakor list again soon!

[@BattleshockWargaming]

Oh yeah Belakor does need to make a return soon

[@Mark_BH]

Another really enjoyable battle report. I love Slaves to Darkness, just can’t quite get up the confidence to start my own army of them (they look hard to paint!). Nurgle Knights seem to be the way to go, as the knights aren’t too good when they haven’t charged, at least they are hard to shift.

[@BattleshockWargaming]

S2D are a forgiving army to paint. Big flat armor panels and even the trim is pretty wide and takes to a brush easy. Just go for it my friend!

[@Mark_BH]

I might have to 😁

[@Strade8]

They ara actually quite easy to paint. Nurgle Knights are good to rally back, with khorne/run&charge/possible3D6charge they are quite an hammer easy to charge on everything. Your oppenent MUST screen in a good way.

[@ronnyturau818]

Awesome game that me and my friends will experience ourselves I plaz S2D and a friend plays cities. My host list is very similar just replace the 2x5 knights with a unit of varanguard and Theridons

[@BattleshockWargaming]

Good luck at your game. I hope you have as much fun as we did

[@NegativeNezzy]

Your models are so good, jesus! I really hope that I can get to that level one day.

[@BattleshockWargaming]

That is a very nice thing to say! Michael has painted a dozen armies in the last year, so he gets lots of practice :)

[@christopherwhaley5655]

Ok now this was a battle!

[@BattleshockWargaming]

We are glad you enjoyed it!

[@Nick_Patrick]

That 5+ rally was clutch! Man I love Chosen

[@BattleshockWargaming]

Chosen are one of my favorite units in the game. They have a very clear battlefield role, and when they get to turn on they can do great things. Plus the are the most metal foot soldiers in the game!

[@marvinnunez7083]

Woof, that first charge from Eltarion was rough.😮

[@BattleshockWargaming]

He either claps whatever he is in combat with, or whiffs. High damage potential tho

[@Vonbrow]

When you are adding primal dice for casting spells and you say that it cannot be unbound is that because you have calculated the die role to be higher than what the opponent could possibly roll or is there some sort of special rule for rolling multiple sixes?

[@BattleshockWargaming]

When you roll 2 sixes its a primal cast and it cant be unbound.

[@jasonharris4562]

Man 2nd time watching this batrep and man Slaves are just nasty! You guys should run them against Micheal’s Seraphon. I wanna see how they stack up against Kroak and all the casting

[@BattleshockWargaming]

we did a S2d vs Seraphon match, kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmq8fYKDbNl9jdk Go check it out!

i love that you are here every week for this and you always get a thumbs up from me

[@m.kessler2836]

Nice battle report as always! from which manufacture are the ruins ?

[@BattleshockWargaming]

All of these ruins are from peagus hobby you can find them on amazon, very inexpensive

[@9estebansantos]

Those chosen were insane. Just kept getting back up. Every rally was painful for cities of sigmar player. Eltharion mvp for CoS and chosen MVP for STD

[@BattleshockWargaming]

Chosen were for sure the MVP. I thought for sure i had them when i got most of the unit and then the double but watching them all stand back up was rough

[@user-ly2eq5xb8t]

Hello, I have a question, when I am assembling soldiers who have the possibility of bringing a musician or a banner bearer, can I bring both in the same set? For example, if I bring the revenant seekers, can I bring a champion, the bearer and the musician? What are the rules with these possibilities?

[@BattleshockWargaming]

Yes, you can bring each one. It will say something like "1 in every 10 models may be (x)" Unit composition usually includes a unit leader, banner dude and musician. Hope that helps, thanks a lot for watching our channel :)

[@Failerist]

Very good rep !

[@angescratch5266]

Love this video!! What s the grand strategy for the std?

[@BattleshockWargaming]

Overshadow :)

[@angescratch5266]

@@BattleshockWargaming well done, hard to score.

[@alexisherbeck3469]

Hell yeah! Cities!

[@BattleshockWargaming]

We LOVE Cities of Sigmar!! One of the most thematic armies in the realms, and they have been doing well as of 1/16 in the tournament scene also!

[@aclevername9381]

I stopped using Eltharion with my Lumineth. He just never kills anything. I once did 16 wounds, but it was on skeletons, so they all came back anyway. Usually it's 3-4 wounds. He's out!

[@BattleshockWargaming]

I think he pairs well with 10 blade lords. Double speed of hash with the enlightener and go crush a flank. If you can kill Eltharion out of combat every turn he can heroic all of his wounds off

[@Jack-zt7xq]

I've never seen a hat with such a large brim

[@BattleshockWargaming]

It is actually the size of my melon. It's an optical illusion!

[@BattleshockWargaming]

Like the Koopas on the live action Mario movie

[@limpbrisket3812]

Did you do the mortals from the Alchemite Warforger in addition??

[@BattleshockWargaming]

Yes, we edited down the dice rolls for time, but all mortals were added

[@bsBing0]

@BattleshockWargaming I think you misunderstood the comment. The warforger spell gives mortals in addition to normal damage so a 6 would be a hit and a mortal. The wound rolls for the 6s to hit weren't rolled. Love the vids, keep them coming!

[@BattleshockWargaming]

You are correct! Thanks for catching that :)

[@jakesorensen9534]

I've never scene such one sided Dice rolls, all 1s and 2s for cities all 5s and 6s for slaves. Just wow

[@BattleshockWargaming]

Dice are still going to dice sometimes

[@88Roflmfao]

It looked to me that you ignored the dice that had mortals from fusilers when toling to wound. But the warforger spell adds mortals in addition. So you shouls have rolled more wound rolla there.

[@BattleshockWargaming]

We added mortals on the 2 activations that the spell went off :) The rest of the time it was unbound :)

[@welcometoboats]

Round 4 the mortal hits definitely weren’t added back in

[@Sjoelin]

@@welcometoboats agree - they forgot it is mortal wounds in addition

[@stargazingkiwi]

Broke my heart to see that too. Cities needed all the help they could get!

[@steampunkjim]

Pall. Pall of doom. Not pale, not pail. Pall 😂

[@BattleshockWargaming]

You are correct but Lets be real, I graduated Shelton High School, we are luck I pronounced Doom correctly lol

[@vanrussell4072]

❤

[@Dybvad1992]

44:30 i thought you couldn't rally while in combat?

[@BattleshockWargaming]

They were out of combat, they had killed everything that was within 3 inches lol

[@BattleshockWargaming]

You are correct though
