BATTLEBOYS - Warhammer 40K - Necron vs Dark Eldar #4

[@janaoj11]

Honestly this channel could be all 40k and i would watch it all

[@mathewedwards6775]

Absolutely

[@bjornseine2342]

Now THIS is how I like my gaming! Making up fun rules and lore on the fly just seems way more entertaining to me than religiousley following the rules in the book and measuring every move to millimeter precision.

[@williamcadence]

Alex gets crippled by Dad jokes. They are his kryptonite lol

[@pauliusthemad3498]

I hope Alex sees this - but eldar do clone people to bring them back from the dead - your guy could get his wife back just by calling up a local homunculi

[@nicolasdykema8959]

but his guy got shot to pieces too

[@pauliusthemad3498]

You can still clone them if they payed in advanced

[@sightseek3r]

Does their consciousness from their dead body transfer into the clone? Otherwise I wouldn't consider it them

[@pauliusthemad3498]

Dookus Maximus It's literary what they do, they just transfer the soul to new body.

[@sightseek3r]

Got it! Lol

[@ieyke]

C'Tan are loosely derived from HP Lovecraft's Star Gods/Great Old Ones and Cthulhu (AKA C'Thulhu), so that's a weirdly relevant detour at the end of the video.

[@oscarrowley91]

just wanna say guys, this was excellent. Ive been waiting for you all to do Warhammer content for years and I'm sad you stopped. 9th editions of 40k comes out tomorrow, you guys playing a narrative campaign using the new crusade system would be incredible!

[@kurukblackflame]

One command re-roll per phase, Battleboys! :D

[@landroid5460]

You guys should make a animated Battle Boys song.

[@rudidraufganger7448]

Loved watching this battle report, this channel is amazing and the guys are great gamesmen, absolutely gutted that the dark eldar lost tho, I think the next time the dark eldar play against someone at the end of each turn those opposing the dark eldar should be made to take a shot of vodka at the end of each turn just to represent the intoxicating effect of facing them.

[@k2cr]

As soon as alex mentioned his grandpa lewis just shat himself

[@BrinPaints]

I like the people commenting on rules stuff when they're just randomly making up stuff for the animals on the fly and adding/removing rules in relation to that seemingly randomly. lol

[@GeneralSkibo]

40k and wargaming in general draws high levels of autism.

[@rxd1983]

BadMooner tabletop is full of retards, you mean, not just 40k.

[@dragonswrath1890]

Four player book wars!? Say it aint so!

[@TheBenShow96]

I love the battle boys but when will regular games night come back?

[@avianavenjer8387]

Love me some battleboys!!!!!!

[@AndreasPeahc]

Can't you just command point re-roll once a turn?

[@ieyke]

Not quite. You can only use each Stratagem once per PHASE. So they could Command Re-Roll once in each Move Phase, Psychic Phase, Shooting Phase, Charge Phase, Fight Phase, and Morale Phase (and any phases I forgot). But they definitely CAN'T reroll multiple things at the same time, the way they were doing here. (Although, frankly, for a Stratagem as generic as Command Re-Roll, I don't see why not. It's spending their CP one way or another, and it's frankly one of the weakest Stratagems in the game MOST of the time.)

[@TheKillingFloor15]

I would argue that re-roll is one of the best in the game, the chance for a massive attack to sneak in or making that charge often decides a game.

[@AndreasPeahc]

Thanks for the explanation TEC, but I agree with Meelo that re-roll is probably one of the stronger ways to spend CP which is why I was wondering.

[@yongjin96]

Hi, there are 3 universal stratagems that everyone can use. Command reroll for 1 CP, Autopass a morale check for 2 CP and interrupt combat to fight first for 2 CP (can only be done after one charged unit has fought) But if you don't have a codex you can't use any others. Chapter Approved 2017 (an extra "balancing" book) has given the factions without a codex 2 stratagems for them to use along with a relic and warlord trait unique to that army to tide them over as they wait for their codex release because index armies vs codex armies are always pretty brutally one sided.

[@ieyke]

Oh, god no. Command Re-Roll is a JOKE compared to what MOST of the other Stratagems do. You're better off buying extra Relics, or making a whole melee unit suddenly take an entire extra Fight Phase, or amping up Tesla shots to doing over 200% as many hits, or resurrecting a squad of Wraiths, or Resurrecting a character, or giving Lychguards 3+ Invulnerable Saves that cause Mortal Wounds to people shooting at them, or detonating Scarabs to cause D3 Mortal Wounds, or making a squadron of Destroyers reroll ALL of their failed Hits and Wounds for a turn, or to use My Will Be Done on two different units, or to let a squad of Canoptek units Advance and then STILL Charge in the same turn, etc etc etc etc etc..... Command Re-Roll is pretty trash MOST of the time. I mean.....Extermination Protocols literally has the potential to let you reroll up to 36 dice.... Do you want to reroll 1 hit, or do you want to just literally take an entire extra turn with 60 more Attacks?

[@Overlord-NoiseMarine]

Lewis should really get adeptus custodes he could paint them in the style of datlov and it suits his imperialistic comedy i think he will enjoy them as i my self field them and they are kick ass small groups of high cost high skill troops designed to rip armys a new asshole. I hope the battle boys read this

[@bigdav8]

Any plans to do an Age of Sigmar game

[@roryelliott-goodwin6989]

Alex you can only spend a command point once every phase e.g. shooting ,combat

[@StuffMitchSaysKappa]

Not quite. You can only use a specific Stratagem once per phase.

[@Denozan]

Do any of the Yogscast use Eldar? Like, normal Eldar?

[@pauliusthemad3498]

Funny thing....Druikarii are normal eldar, the craftworld are the abnormal ones (As before the fall all eldar were dark eldar)

[@ieyke]

False. "Normal" Eldar do not exist. Dark Eldar are a bit closer to normal Eldar, but they've gone waaaaaaay further off the deep end, and they dedicate a lot of time to feeding Slaanesh other people's souls to keep him/her distracted from eating THEIR souls.

[@ieyke]

To answer the original question: Ben - Dark Angels Alex - Dark Eldar Lewis - Necrons Mike - Tyranids Mark - Tau Sjin - also Tau? Tom - Imperial Guard? Duncan - Space Wolves So far as I know, that's everyone. Which is just as well, I guess, since my understanding is that the 8th Edition Eldar are OP as fuck.

[@voodoominerman]

some updates Sjin - yes, Tau Tom - pretty sure it's 6 imperial guard tanks Harry/Barry - Imperial Guard Vietnam soldiers

[@yongjin96]

Hi, I don't think its so much the eldar but rather abuse of rules interactions with Ynnari double shoot or double fight as well as using stratagems from multiple craftworlds on ynnari detachments as well. They do have strong units but everyone does, Ynnari can push them past that. Although their psychic phase is probably the strongest in game and I don't think anyone in the yogscast would be able to combat it.

[@backyardcampers2476]

Didn't see Alex use any of the power from pain stuff at any point. UPvote so he can see this !

[@StuffMitchSaysKappa]

I think this was filmed pre-codex so I don't believe they had Power from Pain then.

[@backyardcampers2476]

No, power from pain was in the index in the exact same form as the codex. Would have given him a good advantage through the whole game.

[@fuanlaw4146]

Please do grey Knights

[@lucybaillieu9588]

I wanna know about this salty old man that makes dice He sounds amusing

[@munkey360]

Come on guys, Pay attention to the analytics of these current WH40k videos, its quite clear that the interest and viewership has dropped dramatically. It's probably about time you changed the format and removed the Battleboys content (just play it for fun and don't record it), Get back to the content that people actually watch in greater numbers. I love this channel but the Battleboys content is making it tank.
