Witch Hunter: I accuse you of heresy! Demon of Nurgle: Well, shit.

[@florians9949]

Demon of slanesh: well, fuck. Demon of tzeench: well, nothing to see. Demon of Khorne: well, rip and tear.

[@majormoolah5056]

Imagine you are on a deadly battlefield. You run around, standing absolutely straight, shooting your pistol. When you see something dangerous, you accuse it. Life of a witch hunter.

[@Freekymoho]

The good life

[@shanedog007]

I think I tried this IRL and it didn't work, or backfired at worst. . . I think I failed my pointy hat, large crooked schnozzle test. . .

[@Rawkit_Surgeon]

Wow, warhammer 1 double witch hunter? I miss it when accusing people of heresy does emotional damage over time.

[@riftandrend5254]

TWW1 unlimited accusation was filthy

[@joaogomes9405]

I'd be emotionally damaged over time too, witch hunters are very mean when they accuse you of being a bad boy

[@aziouss2863]

I want someone to love and cherish me the way Turin loves and cherishes Demi Gryph knights. I wonder how the evil hag feels about this XD

[@decay79]

When even your fast units are too slow to catch the wagons and the like.. It's gonna be an uphill battle..

[@CosmicFreedoms]

WOW the TW1 throwback of double witch hunter

[@Insandom]

Daemon Prince of Nurgle is slept on personally, flying source of terror for Nurgle is handy, has regular spirit leech, miasma of pestilence is good for cav fights + spam nurgle passive, decent armor in addition to their physical resist, and a high HP pool to benefit from the healing spam.

[@Posdnoid]

Exactly what I was thinking!

[@travwinner2]

Using him is the only time I won with nurgle lol

[@justinsickles3895]

I think a lot of people sleep on that Miasma of Pestilence spell. That -40% charge bonus and the -24 melee attack really neuters enemy cav and units that are about to charge into you.

[@spartan662501]

It hurts my soul to see black lions still shooting at the edge of formations especially in light of magma cannons beaming units dead center.

[@Offbeaten]

Flagellants not having frenzy isn't a bug, they're sulking because they have to start on the bench. Take'm in coach!

[@semi-useful5178]

Gelt is an Ulric worshipper, though in game he leads Solland which is almost as hard Sigmarite as Stirland or Nuln.

[@joaogomes9405]

Where did you get that he was an Ulric worshipper? Almost nothing is known about Gelt's personal life, and the only connection in the lore he has to Ulric is that during the End Times, the Ar-Ulric asked him to investigate possible daemon tampering with the Auric Bastion, which was built with the help of all faiths in the Empire, not just the cult of Ulric or Sigmar. As far as I know, Gelt has never even been in Middenland. As to why he leads Solland, my guess is that they had to put him somewhere and they didn't want to do another Volkmar move and have him start in Reikland, even though that's where he'd logically be because that's where the Colleges of Magic would be. And since no one else starts in Solland and they already have the golden colours and sun imagery, it was a nice fit for Gelt.

[@semi-useful5178]

@@joaogomes9405 He talks about Ulric a lot abd the cult if Ulric is the least predjudiced against wizards of the Empire's major religions

[@joaogomes9405]

@@semi-useful5178 That doesn't make him an Ulric worshipper

[@sfp2290]

Kinda funny to hear the sentence: "Wagons were the hard carry, obviously."

[@motog6436]

I still haven't gotten used to wagons not being a joke

[@sammor9]

I think that one cultist on a shrine might be good just for free healing, and if he gets focused you get your summons off even quicker.

[@UristMicrocline]

Dear god, imagine the smell of Nurgle Warriors and Flagellants fighting! I don't know who smells worse!

[@sammor9]

I really think Nurgle should get their cloud of flies ability represented by a ranged accuracy debuff.

[@KhorgosKhul]

Agreed. Cloud of flies should be a BIG anti-missle buff for Nurgle.

[@alaiyo3494]

It’s been nice seeing these throwback builds lately.

[@MrJamesRye]

Come to think of it, it has been ages since I have last seen that slug monster of Nurgle. Why is nobody using it? Is it too slow and useless?

[@UristMicrocline]

Yea he's a big pin cushion. Especially against someone like The Empire who has a dedicated anti-large missile infantry in Huntsman.

[@marcus3457]

I really did enjoy watching the witch hunters. I am trying to learn to use them better in campaign in combat, not just as specialists. And you put on a bit of a clinic here. Much appreciated!

[@TheMagicalPinata]

I won an AoS tournament with my 21 Demigryph Knight list

[@viclange3826]

I'm not a big fan of ranged chariot meta. Same with Scourgerunner chariots, these units that are too hard to kill for anything fast enough to chase them, so they just wheel around the battlefield all day, slowly but unexcitingly cleaning up value... eh. Maybe a range reduction? Can't be easy to hit anything at distance while your vehicle is hand-braking all over the place over rough terrain.

[@doorag_bill]

how is nurgle even supposed to deal with this build?

[@detorrV2]

For Myrmidia! Knights of the blazing sun fight for Myrmidia. And since she is the patroness of Estalia and the order was founded there it is not a bad cry for Gelt.

[@ryueldragonborn4145]

The empire when they face nurgle * I like to watch things die from a good distance *

[@SoulNommer]

Helblasters have such a huge problem with shooting the edges of formations. They're be so much more effective if they targeted centre-mass.

[@Desklamp1234]

I thought the title was the start of a joke. "Balthasar Gelt and 2 witch hunters walk into a bar..."

[@dr.squares8938]

*Points Finger* P.s really missed the hellblaster wagon

[@Anvilarm07]

Love double witch hunter! WHs are my favourite 3D figures from classic Warhammer Fantasy, tied with Dwarf standard bearer.

[@christopherhayes1369]

Love a witch hunter. Fancy all those demons of nurgle turning out to be heretics! 😂

[@TekGriffon]

I feel like there's a dead-zone with witch hunters. They're great against big SEs where shots can be expected to reliably land and the penetration doesn't matter. They're great against any infantry they can reliably one-shot, especially if you can get them on the side of a formation. But I feel like they fall off against things like monstrous calvary or other multiple entity units that can tank a shot. They just didn't seem to be doing much against those toads, for example.

[@jasonbrewer6714]

Definitely noticed i have never used a WH in campaign battles, only rarely in multiplayer battles. I have to agree, maybe buffing accuse again would help, or even giving them more buffs and debuffs would be nice. I would rather have an arch lector in the army then a WH hero. You get better melee and good magic. I've noticed hybrid units are either pretty good, or absolute dogshit.

[@imwivstuipid]

what is final transmutation good against? Single entity or infantry?

[@rawhitewolf4038]

Victor Saltzpyre approves this blessed battle (and ravaged bodies :)

[@Sarum9nich]

9:11 what does this phrase means - "pit lord faction"?

[@justinsickles3895]

Best of the bottom tier factions, I think would be your best definition.

[@nordicpush1452]

I dont know but when I play empire i always take one WH, even naked they almost always pay for themself. There are rly rare sytuation i regret i took one of them, also would be awsome to get one as LL.

[@danthebruiser]

Coming in ROCK HARD LOL

[@MarineCARMINE]

Not gonna lie I'm kinda getting tired of seeing wagons and flagellants in every empire army.

[@alexcyr4149]

Hell yes!! Love the off mega builds! More! More!

[@CommanderTavos99]

+ the Witchhunters got +15 armor

[@SusaVile]

Man we need Nurgle to get better, too expensive in my opinion.

[@jefcrow3534]

any chance for dow 2?

[@CasualFriedEggEnjoyer]

I'm a simple man, I see an Empire match, I watch.

[@sauceman3462]

You should show us your legiondary demigryph models

[@WPTheRabbitHole]

They'll Never Move Again

[@thibautl334]

wagons are a bit too prevalent, they should be more niche. When was the last time someone used plain old handgunners?

[@aersla1731]

Probably pointless but what would be some suggestions you and the comp community would have to balance more of the other faction's rosters, maybe a video idea? :) Seems without hellstriders the chaos warriors are struggling..

[@WPTheRabbitHole]

LET'S GO!!

[@lonelee141]

LOOOOOOOOOOORE OF METAL

[@phoenixbae3310]

AYYYYYYYYYY MY MAN GELT

[@terron7840]

That's the best thing about the empire, they don't excel at anything, but they are the most versatile one.

[@regulusm1518]

GG

[@sandercohen9712]

Lopsided matchup for sure.

[@jolupakagames6977]

cool 👋👋

I've tried double WH a few times but I'm not very good with them yet

[@shanedog007]

Turin may have miscast this. . . you actually CAN'T win this unless you have the massive Schnozzle family trait, AND your had THE Thaddeus in your ranks (bone to an amazing 40k artist Baldermort's Guide to 40k *please seriously look this guy up, you will be taken aback by his professionalism, and he has soo many original stories to the lore that keep you waiting on a knifes edge*) ** EDIT Hey Turin My lad, reach out to Baldy and I bet yall can get a mini collab!!!** Introducing your fanbase to his and vice versa :) Baldy is pretty big over 200k and heavily focuses on 40k, but I know you guys sometimes go outside those lines.
