[@Kilmiina]

Underrated comment.

Squayr bast

[@l337haxz0rn00b]

Rob is my favourite breadtube creator

[@carlosroca1407]

So true

[@Jabber_AoS]

This is useful information. Now I can lose on the second turn.

[@TheHonestWargamer]

Glad I could help

[@just_gut]

You should teach people when and how to retreat. It is a powerful tool that too many people don't use.

[@MarkoSeldo]

Play Skaven. Learn fast.

[@shaboogiee566]

I would like to see an in depth video on terrain placement. Great video Rob!

[@MrStarbumps]

As a beginner, I second this :)

[@andrewburgoyne4728]

Third.

[@dkraytsberg91]

Really awesome video! Enjoy the historical reference. Its ironic that some people would say that stringing out lines of models is "gamey", when in reality thats exactly how actual battles were fought.

[@TheHonestWargamer]

Yeah I've always found that so odd when that's literally what armies really do!

[@MKDietz]

I've heard that so much, really anytime you do anything tactical I've found some people call you a powerplayer or gamey. I really dislike that. Play by the rules use the rules to win. Simple :)

[@zergstirfry]

Don’t ever stop making content, you’re a unique pillar of the community, you know your stuff and you’re entertaining and know how to appeal to the KZbin weirdos

[@branumate7337]

These technical videos are awesome, keep them up! Would love to see a follow up about deployment against different kinds of armies and maybe a bit more about the tricks of base blocking that you mentioned here.

[@MrStarbumps]

I also second this :)

[@Centurion_of_Terra]

Honest to gods, you teaching me to win AoS is just what I wanted in life, your work book is good but I learn better through watching and doing so this video is perfect! Please make more.

[@nurglematthew893]

This guy and his Grot Gang are Best-in-Slot

[@TheHonestWargamer]

NURGLE MATTTTTT

[@willcorcoran]

16' 21" - goes and reads 12.1 properly and has tiny mind absolutely blown. Hadn't realised that about piling in units that have charged, wow, wow. Brilliant video, as usual

[@djludowici536]

Can’t wait til it goes live! Always looking for great game play and tactics instruction and information!! You always present this info so well for us!

[@TheGraham27]

Fantastic video!!! Thanks Rob!!

[@Irkenmatt]

Fantastic video Rob, really helpful and fun!

[@PleasantKenobi]

This is such a good video. More like this please.

[@FlyingRyan_]

Great Video! this is one of those things that when someone asks you, its really hard to explain but you sort of intrinsically know, but this brought so much clarity to the subject. Really looking forward to more videos in the series! Awesome work.

[@dreihander6528]

Not all heroes wear a hats, but you do! - this is fundamental not only for new, but also "struggling players"! Thanks for explaining that!

[@jasonmangelsen7136]

Awesome video, thanks.

[@Arne_K]

Nice and simple break down. Many thanks Rob!

[@lancetan7699]

Excellent video. Would love to see more of this type of content.

[@kookieslayer]

Awesome video. Really want more of those!

[@mrbunning8051]

Love it , keep them coming Rob 👍

[@decokane1019]

Great video Rob! Really engaging, with good examples, references and personality.

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

Nice video as always!!

[@akutch564]

This is a great video. Thanks!

[@rotmirerob]

Love this! Hope to see more strategy guides

[@TheHonestWargamer]

More to come!

[@Jonesio25]

This is a great vid - i'm getting into Sigmar and really appreciate the guides! Nice one mate!

[@codycosman8271]

Thank you so much for this! Yes it’s a super technical video, but I’m brand new to the game and this video just talked about what took me 2-3 years to learn in other games. Will definitely keep this in mind as I build my first list.

[@hapijoel7569]

Very helpful thanks, looking forward to deployment!

[@dicesmashtv]

Fantastic video that explains the theory well, will be super useful for not only new players, but also more experienced players trying to improve their level of play! :) Thank you!

[@gustavbay5575]

Love the format! Keep up the good content! It's great for newcomers to our hobby and community

[@OliverSalva]

Thanks for the advice! :D

[@jaksautsendari]

Rob, you do great work! Your strategy guide is a lot of knowledge in very pleasing form! Thumb up and waiting for more ;D

[@unleashedagain555]

Love this content Rob. More like this please!

[@TheHonestWargamer]

I will try x

[@Pershoreify]

Transcendental video. Third eye opened. True wisdom achieved. 10 out of 10

[@GreedyRaven]

This was a very good video. Can't wait to see more!

[@PlayValiant]

Good video. enjoyed it a lot!

[@NapGod]

This is such great information.

[@minacapella8319]

So glad to see this content picking up from you rob. I still say this is what you were always meant for!

[@jakestefano4118]

More of this please!!

[@WarpstoneHoarder]

fantastic video! wish it had come out back when I first started playing!

[@event.cruises]

This was really great, your pacing and style of delivery is really engaging and I have issues focusing on stuff like this normally.

[@mandor7005]

Amazing video and pretty instructive! I expect more on talking on archetypes!

[@KingRicko]

The best in the business. Never stop these types of vids Robbo!

[@mtuktuk9627]

Great video!

[@jameswilson6328]

great video rob, keep up the great work :-)

[@NoZignature]

Really helpfull video would love to see more like this in the future!

[@johnchiotis4323]

Good video man!

[@Fotta1989]

I absolutely love these videos. Thanks so much for making it. And the editing was just phenomenal. A+

[@TheHonestWargamer]

LETS GOO AND THANKS

[@PantaleonChannel]

More like these, soo informative!

[@biowiener7825]

i needed this video a year ago when i started with my skaven, got beat up alot but now im rather decent at screening since its so important especially on skaven. still awesome to watch, i really love robs guide videos

[@Adam.Hughes]

So good! Love your work brother. Learned loads from this you legend.

[@Karloleroi]

Honestly Rob, these are the best videos! Keep on doing those please :)

[@thebigapplegate5404]

The tag lines were a great idea. Made it look professional but the text added alot of humor. Love " Rob thinks you suck" 😅

[@JustAGuyDrawing]

These videos are great. Thanks for making these, they're perfect for giving to new players

[@scholls309]

Really really loved this. I really appreciate these types of videos. I think deployment, and different strategy types (castle,pin) would be helpful

[@joshp2657]

This is legit very helpful. I'd never thought about screening out objectives before.

[@cmleibenguth]

Well done, sir!

[@andrewburgoyne4728]

Very helpful. I appreciated the classical references and the reminder to communicate your intentions well with your opponents.

[@U2HAT]

Loved it. ❤

[@BjornFriborg]

Awesome tactica Rob!

[@TheHonestWargamer]

Thankyou x

[@Legion_of_the_bland]

Great video mate. I can't say i've ever really used screens but this video has definitely inspired me to try both types of screening 👍 Keep up the awesome work dude.

[@helljumpersmilsim1091]

Well done.

[@paperboyjay8161]

Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 great video Rob. Liked and shared it with my club colleagues. Cheers.

[@ncfcpaul8761]

These are your very best videos, talking through and teaching is super helpful. Bravo! Next perhaps a video on prioritising attacks? Something along those lines maybe?

[@Marcojaralaconich]

Always good to remember this stuff !

[@thedoubleop]

Fantastic video

[@seanditchfield5609]

Great video, love these more in depth ones you do. More please! “Maybe how to beat” videos for armies like SBG, Khorne, Seraphon

[@thebigapplegate5404]

Great video can't wait for the next one

[@TheHonestWargamer]

Really appreciate the support

[@thebigapplegate5404]

​​​@@TheHonestWargameryou should do a deep dive video on cover, terrain, and garrisons. Because we suck and are probably not utilizing/using them properly

[@ThomAshworth]

Not enough Harlan Ellison references in wargaming. Also this video is excellent. Thanks Ron.

[@RobDastardly]

These technical/strategy videos are invaluable. I really hope you keep this series going, we need more content like this for AoS!

[@TheHonestWargamer]

More to come!

[@KP-ek7qu]

Great vid🙂

[@zebposada]

Your best video ever. Best. Keep 'em coming.

[@greys_plastic]

This is such a nice and clear way of understanding something I didn't realise I had an issue with

[@ichbins5138]

Good one

[@jansmrz1056]

Perfect video as always :) your greatest fan from Czechia :) - i would love to see in depth video about movement and also teaching when to commit and when not

[@DustinDalziel777]

I've been looking for this type of in depth strategy and tactics, great video! Would love to see a video on command points and abilities. Why and when to use each ability. What factors do you consider when choosing to spend that precious CP vs save it for another layer ability.

[@paulh3892]

Loving the presentation and your style! More lectures need guitar solos haha New player here, so this is a great resource for how to deploy with future turns and win conditions in mind. 👍

[@keysersozie3312]

awesome video.

[@Bazanti]

I love it Rob. Do make more you gorgeous beast. I am confused about coherency now however, you can conga line units again?

[@eduardorodriguezcorrea7386]

This videos are awesome! We need one on deploying in the new battleplans

[@TheHonestWargamer]

It's in the way

[@SingledOutPodcast]

I love the tactics vids, the more the better.

[@3_ogres_in_a_trenchoat]

I love this content x

[@TheHonestWargamer]

Appreciate you a loy

[@keithrogers6876]

Such a simple thing to do while playing, but an oh so difficult thing to explain. Well done sir for making this so easy to follow.

[@michaelharding9619]

Great video, provides what’s not in the rule book…How to play the game! You’ve already improved my game, so any other explanations of ideas I can try will be fantastic. It’s interesting you mention, knowing what your opponent will do, how do you assess your opponents army and determine what their key pieces are and how they are likely to want to play them?

[@kolari8971]

A good general rule of thumb is; A, what does the most damage, and B, what gives out the most buffs

[@scr1vo]

Excellent stuff. Very Informative, much lol

[@TheHonestWargamer]

thanks cutie

[@MrHugojoel]

awsome video. do more like this :D thank you

[@aaramaius]

Ive just started SBGL against my sons Ogor Mawtribes, These videos are awesome and have given me great ideas for my zombies and black knights. Thankyou

[@jozefbucany2310]

Amazing recap. as a tzeentch player i love my endless spells and use those as screens as well. my friend playing SCE was always furious when he tried to charge with his Karazai and realized he cannot physically fir his base between my unit and an endless spell model

[@TheHonestWargamer]

That's great. I might show that in another video if people want to see it

[@TheHobbyCollab]

well made Rob!

[@BattleDuelists]

Another segment that could be interesting is debunking each army, real quick what counters them, strongpoints, do's and dont's, key-units etc.

[@greyseer6089]

Late to watching this but really liked it. As ever, very clear for those learning and in particular the use of visual examples with measuring aids is so important. I'm much better at understanding things when I can see them, so this is hugely helpful. I'd really like to see one for shooting, as I still find true line of sight a bit weird and don't understand how you can screen shooting, as well as piling-in tricks and tactics. In terms of other comments...umm...love the commitment to checked/plaid shirts. Keep up the good work!

[@tomkelly2363]

Love this Rob, thanks for putting it together. I’m absolute rubbish so this has helped a lot. Looking forward to the deployment video

[@TheHonestWargamer]

hey, you arent rubbish. Just learning!! We all gotta study

[@RidgeHanna]

Fantastic video, Rob! Very easy to follow along and understand with the classic sprinkled in funny comments. Keep rocking these brother!

[@spiritofgroot1999]

Thanks for everything you do for community, including the screams

[@NapGod]

This video series rules! more please.

[@capt.mannerings8095]

Gief-steal all your secrets yes-yes. Great video.

[@ClovisLaRoche]

Great video! It would be interesting to talk about how to deal with well placed screens as the attacker too!

[@nathanbuxton3271]

Enjoying the video

[@nadavbloshtein3957]

the screaming is just amazing, really liked the historic background

[@maxeriksson6947]

Rob really is the best. Just the best.
