Dear Joe the editor. I would like a rhaspy asmr 20 hour cut of awkward zooms and mumblings, instead of this highly polished visual experience. With regards Hughe JayHole

[@davidtaxter6036]

Question do you get distracted during editing to simply be a meme lord in a lot of videos until you realize you closing on a deadline?

[@MrSam2450]

Give the people what they want. I have no idea why people don’t appreciate the art Joe makes

[@voultronix761]

Of course spliffing brit loves 40k , still one of the top British KZbinrs❤

[@NielsMulvad]

There is not enough exploits in this video, TSB you must show us how to do it properly!

[@baseballjustin5]

As a Hughe(s) i 2nd a full game stream

[@flanmanistehbest]

Lewis is dressed like he's trying to sell me a juice with 85 ingredients

[@falren9360]

The years have turned Lewis into everybody's lovable old hippy uncle lol.

[@mattellis6040]

Or a master at bullshido one of those energy field martial arts senseis online lol

[@ManMadeOfIdiot]

LOL

[@BecauseOfDragons]

As someone who works in the tabletop industry and realises how hard it is to make Let's Plays of miniature wargames fun and engaging - I bloody love this format. It is a lot of work for the editors (who I bow down to for their work) but it certainly makes for an engaging watch. Well done and I hope we get more!

[@leonardo.1024]

Yeah, just minutes in and I’m really impressed by the editing and formatting.

[@falren9360]

Compressing a six hour games into 30 minutes makes for a fantastic video.

[@KerryBenton]

Hard agree... this format is great, and getting better as they get more experience with it. Mega mega kudos to them all.

[@CrossBreedTacoHD]

Well me and maybe three others would prefer the 6hour raw footage. But, a cookie is a cookie, and a battle boys video is a battle boys video. So I'm happy

[@gamerman782]

@@CrossBreedTacoHD maybe they should've released an edited and unedited?

[@Haedox]

The production on this is so good

[@carlosmiguelteixeiraott3643]

Lewis: "That's an Adeptus Mechanicus win." Ben: "They successfully blew up their own planet, hooray."

[@kinnarawanderer]

In the grim darkness of the far future There is only wins

[@FluffyDragon]

Other than the whole thing of it being a capture points based game, and far as I could tell, Alex had more points, until Lewis decided to change the rules so that whoever won titanbowl won Yeah, sure, a win We all know HatchBoy won

[@BalthorYT]

@@FluffyDragon I'm fairly sure the thing was that they would've tied on the last turn if the middle capture point, which was being contested by the titans, was left uncaptured by either of them. So they had to go one 'extra round' to see who won the contest and resolve the last turn.

[@Msatthew]

@@BalthorYT That, or they wanted to see the titans properly kill each other... Possibly both.

[@HappyLarry.]

@@FluffyDragon But they literally mentioned that the capture points were tied up in the center with the two Titans

[@Casowsky]

The retrospective 'callback' format works so goddamn well! Such clever storytelling and professional editing. I don't even know anything about warhammer and I still love watching these.

[@TheGreatDeliveryBoy]

The return of Warhammer. I've been looking forward to this.

[@snufflebunny539]

Just as I got my army done as well!

[@sora2339]

Lewis: Makes a video so he can use the models as a tax write off Lewis: Pays Ben to rules lawyer so he can play a 3 hour game instead of a 6 hour game

[@jacobp.4593]

Could you even write-off miniatures as a business expense?

[@sora2339]

@@jacobp.4593 If you can convince the tax office that it was a necessary purchase for your business. They wouldn't be able to make Warhammer videos without having minis so buying them and even paying someone to paint them would be a business expense.

[@ThatPianoNoob]

@@sora2339 this seems like a textbook business expense with very little need for explaining.

[@sora2339]

@@ThatPianoNoob Of course what normal business doesnt have grands of mini figures being written off for tax reasons

[@joshking3038]

@@sora2339 I don't think they're saying any "normal buisness" is writing off minis. But any "normal buisness" is writing off things relevant to their buisness needs - pretty stock standard. I don't think a gaming/enterntainment channel is going to have convince that tax off its legitmate to write off purchases of gaming-related items for content.

[@anthonyfisher337]

I really like the format of these games, highlights and people having fun.

[@johnarnold8485]

More tables! More toys! More Alex! Always a good time, especially when he is rocking that beard.

[@Scio_]

I would like to second this call, and extend it to More Battles! More Boys pls

[@EVH_]

hasn't he always had a beard?

[@theaman5052]

This is so fucking cool, I love seeing massed matching style armies like this, plus i get the full story without a 4 hour video, (I also love alex and his bugs, give us more pls pls) ((more painting streams too)) (((I'd also be interested in how Alex does that khaki beigey greeny on the carapaces)))

[@chiefkalif9675]

Now I want a short story where three tech priests locked in a bomb shelter with a carnifex and for whatever reason they can't attack each other, and the whole time the three tech priests are just talking about the technical details of the bomb shelter like someone explaining WH40k to an uninterested stranger.

[@john-marccartagenas6706]

The editing on these are always on point. Thanks for workin hard.

[@MultiCynicalBastard]

i love that lewis has this really neat, clean looking paintjob, absolutely great, that from a distance looks INDISTINGUISHABLE from on-the-sprue unpainted plastic with some orange tape on.

[@Alizudo]

Any timestamps for a good comparison?

[@MultiCynicalBastard]

@@Alizudo any time they go to the wide angle cam and his units are next to an unpainted building.

[@Alizudo]

@@MultiCynicalBastard Ohhhh, it's the BUILDINGS that are unpainted. I didn't even notice.

[@Nihaas]

Love this retrospective format every time you guys do it! For someone who's never played games that takes this long, these videos make the games feel so fun!

[@Kalebkikuwi]

I wouldn’t mind 3 or 4 ep. to show more detail and banter. I love the between rounds bits personally

[@Phirestarter88]

Agreed. This style is good, but would rather have a few episodes worth to watch whilst painting :)

[@matthewshave503]

I don't know if they do or not but they should stream the full game the people who want to see all the details because personally I think the overly edited style is actually the best way to do it

[@goldcreeper7376]

Couldn't agree more, even if the production on these is amazing I still love the old battleboys streams to bits

[@Rymontp]

@@Phirestarter88 It's on their patreon I think? I saw an unedited clip and it can get very awkward lol

[@GabbersLJ]

Editor beasting this episode! Nice work

[@sarkazam_]

More Warhammer + more Battleboys = more good!

[@genuineBenFan]

17:04 - It’s 1.40am and I just laughed so hard I heard it echo and proceeded to choke on water

[@praisethesun7255]

I really miss the painting streams, Im so glad to see more 40k/table top content though. I still go back and watch battle boys

[@RichNeve85]

The overlays, format and editing of this are all fantastic. Love it!

[@taliesin159]

This is an interesting format for a Batrep. I'm not sure I like it as much as a full-size Batrep, but it does scratch a warhammer itch, without swallowing an entire afternoon.

[@avocato1135]

2 minutes in and Lewis is literally falling for a distraction carnifex on steroids.. I love it xD Also those tyranids are gorgeously painted~

[@shynarcissist]

Beautifully painted armies 😍 (Obligatory yay Alex!)

[@Speederzzz]

*Ben describing all the units* Yes, I know what this all means

[@calumhenderson9404]

Really great to see Alex again.

[@EthanYates1996]

YESSSS!! A quick intro and right to it. Table top games spend ages explaining their units and I will never remember or care about each one. Right to the action and perfectly done!

[@magiliangaming]

brilliantly put together and edited, happy to see alex back, happy to see the series back. hope theres more to come! :D

[@Adumb_]

These videos are always insanely well edited!

[@ethan-loves]

yesssss What a great video (and stellar edit)! It's always a blast to see these guys play.

[@elijahs9274]

as someone who has never played warhammer, this was extremely entertaining and tempts me to get into it myself. Please do more!

[@mattellis6040]

Ah your Nanna passed and left you a couple bags of cash

[@buzz.b]

The table position in front of the camera looking down the length of the table (snooker-style) made it really easy to follow the action. I also like the angled position of the scenery which made the battleground interesting.

[@cosmicalchemy013]

This format is so GOOD; I love seeing these vids come up. Having the post-game commentary and flashing back and forth from the match is such a great way of doing it, it keeps the energy high and the scenes rolling!

[@ElaDivine]

Thank you so much for those shots at the beginning showing every troop. I never played warhammer and this really helped me follow :) Also I love how lightly Ben takes it all and how he manages to focus on the rules, find the lore in everything, and still call things "big clawy shooty boy"

[@RoninAndreas]

Love this way to show a battlereport.

[@jonathanthompson4734]

"Let's play 40k with loads of models!" >chooses the apocalypse rule set

[@josav09]

So goooood, the edits, the story, the minis. MOAR

[@Krystazi]

yogs and warhammer is just so bloody perfect, by far my favourite content

[@Camikaze7]

God Alex’s paint jobs are all so beautiful

[@cowmancheese]

This is edited so well! wish we had the full vods to watch

[@bl0ndiey136]

this was in my recommended and i was very pleasantly surprised. love the way it’s cut down to a reflection/postgame highlight reel with commentary. very entertaining, definitely subbed!

[@ThatBassMann]

I love this format! Would love to see more of this type of video. I do a lot of Warhammer, and sometimes battle reports are great, but this is just really fun to watch - all the best bits of a game condensed into a short summary that tells a great story. You clearly enjoyed the game, and that's always the best thing about watching anything from the Yogscast!

[@iiRobinx]

These videos are soooo good, I love the quick pacing and combat commentary. You know exactly what's happening and this is perfect for scratching my warhammer itch. Make more please!

[@skumfisken]

Yay! Alex!

[@ThishandlefeatureISdumb]

I love these especially the editing condensing it down. I’ve seen some other warhammer tabletop channels or table top games channels but honestly the 2hr+ really turns me away. Props to the editors that put out these condense hours and hours into the best parts while still making a story out of it.

[@misterpig7739]

Yay More warhammer!

[@benkelsey2969]

So thrilled to see this! The format is digestible, the editing is amazing (big props to Joe), and the players are cuties

[@deltarno7502]

As someone who loves the game but cannot play, this edited version is wonderful. Well done, and I hope we get more.

[@Texicus_Reddicus]

These videos are so great. High quality and funny as hell.. Keep em coming

[@MrKairesK]

This format is brilliant, all the best bits and the relevant information of the game. Incredible, I wouldn't mind seeing slightly cut down multipart versions of the full game as well.

Lewis with the gold chain

[@chironicle1755]

I really love these videos, they're so well edited! And such a good format for following the course of the game.

[@ReclusiarchLP]

Loved it! The editing was so good. Made the game really easy to follow, and more importantly, very exciting! :D Great work guys! Had a really good time watching this.

[@wing459]

A yogs Warhammer video in 2022? Truly things are looking up for the world.

[@ajpridmore1]

Hand on heart this was the best battle report I've ever watched! Condensing a full game into little snippits is the way forward! I haven't got time to watch 3-6 hours but 20 minutes absolutely!!

[@bajscast]

Godlike video. Uploads of warhammer stuff on games night are a rare but very special treat

[@zwergingrimmsch]

great video, I especially liked how you built the tension with lewis' saves at the end! Great work, loved it! :)

[@Raida7]

The format of these, with such great editing, recapping, explanations is great! I love the idea that you guys get to enjoy a long game like this with good camera coverage and then sit down and recap it for work :]

[@christopherwalker3055]

The editing and production are fantastic! I'm loving these videos

[@JennyfaninSweden]

Love to see a video from you guys again, I absolutely love when you play miniature games! Your production value is always top notch!

I'm so glad you guys do these. I don't play, but it's so fun seeing you guys do these!

[@Dstreeter888]

Just love this format. So enjoyable and easy to watch

[@mildlywilde]

Great Vid! Hats off to the editors for making it so engaging

[@rivenris]

What a great production! I love the new style of after-the-game commentary mixed with in-game shots. I have one suggestion that would improve the value of the video even further: report could use a minimap in a corner, where editors could draw some arrows and circles representing current state of the battle, or current movements.

[@smalwex]

Recently rewatched all the bolt action stuff and the like and these are just great. Perfect lil glimpses into a game without being a battle report

[@lauriearnold7398]

Been getting into 40k recently after not being involved in the hobby for years and just saw this in my feed, perfect timing! Great work on the format too, really engaging way of showing the game and hope to see more :)

[@maxanderson2180]

Aw snap, this was great guys! The armies look great, the editing was spot on, and everyone had a great time!

[@ratz30]

Excellent format! I really liked the roll/success counter during Titan Bowl

[@WilhelmScreamer]

I enjoy the more relaxed presentation of this game. It's a refresher from the usual bombast a game like this carries

[@michaelducasse1551]

this is the best production I've ever seen on literally anything

[@TomHW250]

Brilliant format and editing - a joy to watch

[@corywillingham1663]

I am BEGGING you guys to make the unedited version available somewhere
