[@SultanPlays40k]

Thanks to Winters for having me back again! Knights are utterly brutal!

[@CaptainMirro]

Glad to see your black templars on the table after seeing them on Instagram!

[@MariusGage]

It was cool to see such a close game, the fact it came down to effectively a dice roll was cool and you still pulled the win! It’s a shame you didn’t enjoy it but as a spectator it was tremendously fun to watch

[@GuyUnderTheBridge]

@@MariusGage wasn’t close at all, only on points. If there was another turn the Knights would have been easily tabled.

[@trentathawat6714]

One of my favorite opponents of Winters' - great list, nicely painted & modelled army, good generalship, and a great sport!

[@krissy2kewl]

@sultanplays40k, as a fellow BT player I had to pause the video at 7:20 and comment when you said about grimaldus benefitted from the SB ability, where did you hear see this? And is this a general think for all characters and units that the units benefit from character abilities and characters benefit from unit abilities? Cos if that's a think that is bigger stuff!

[@marley4404]

Don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing Sultan's Templars on the channel, they're my No.1 inspiration at the moment!

[@SultanPlays40k]

Thanks so much!

[@koelkast9]

They look so nice

[@masoncarter1710]

Same. They're my motivation to paint my black templars. Painting them while watching is the way.

[@sjhhej]

GW: 10th will have far fewer rerolls. Every roll in 10th: Yeah, i get to reroll that...

[@johnj.spurgin7037]

nah, not everyone. Ironically I'm not bitter about it for knights because there's only so much they can shoot. Activation burn is how you beat knights. Activation burn and excessive firepower.

[@bakuchidancer]

So. How does that land raider crusader reroll hits against every target? Oath forget as it's only one unit. I'm talking about reroll everything against everybody all the time for every unit. So you are targeting 5 units, you are rerolling every hit and wound roll. Prove how to do that or admit your complaining is just hyperbole. And stupid one at that.

[@lewisrawlinson8963]

Awesome to see the new Lancer in action! Think you forgot the tank shock stratagem on your charge! Could have killed the gladiator and had more attacks on the Brutalis as the CP is free for the Lancer :) Models look great though! 👌🔥

[@michaelfox3131]

Lancer charging, expecting tshock: - Yeeee) No tshock - Noooo(

[@loot5532]

I was giddy seeing it that close to start, l was waiting to see that awesome strike... so sad Lol

[@brettpettitt6531]

That Lancer is big. Glad you put it on so I can see before I buy one for my chaos Knights

[@wolvie90]

Hot damn yeah, the images on the GW store site makes it look like a lanky thing the size of a regular knight, possibly even a bit smaller.

[@darrenquarterman2611]

The 4 1s on hunter kill made me laugh out loud 😂 the winter’s double 1 on damage must of helped 😂

[@SultanPlays40k]

It did a wonderful job of proving my point! 😂

[@whitemiasma5288]

If you just imagine they hit on 4s or 5s like they do in the Guard, they fly a lot truer. @@SultanPlays40k

[@euansmith3699]

The Armiger trying to hold Winters' home base as it gets swarmed by Sword Bothers, "Come on! Come on! Come and get it, baby! Come on! I don't got all day! Come on! Come on! Come on you barsteward! Come on, you too! Oh, you want some of this? Fork you! Hicks! Hicks! AAAAAAAEEEEEEIIIIII!!!"

[@danielarcher1797]

Shame you forgot the lancer's free tank shock, could've killed the gladius for you

[@PABLODIAZ-mb8xo]

Tank Shock it's the best reason to put the Lancer in your list, 22 dices to 5+ mortal.

[@alessioc6219]

Made me so sad, it would have saved the lancer 6 damage the turn after

[@jamescrook7925]

I'm really enjoying these battle reports (getting back into the game from 3rd edition) - thank you!

[@tim9241]

Love when Winters plays Knights. That Lancer is a beast! Hoping to see Winters bust out his Chaos Knights soon too 🤞

[@johnnyutah892]

Loves me a Sultan Plays conversion.

[@SultanPlays40k]

Thanks!!

[@fredclasson7865]

Those Armigers though, great conversion job.

[@MariusGage]

Awesome Battlereport to watch while I’m adding the finishing touches to my own knight.

[@andyashbey133]

Brutal game. The battlefield looks amazing

[@georgereed1568]

Nice to see the Lancer in action, It looks great and fits in really well with your other knights ps dont forget the free Tank Shock you might of got both those vehicles if you had used it 👍. -I literally cannot wait for my Lancer to arrive so I can add it to my Chaos Knights.

[@mrphgil974]

That first Templars’ turn….wow those dice hated Sultan.

[@OmegaIdiot]

Bruh. Knights and Custodes are specificly 3 factions with horus heresy things ALLOWED at all tournaments, thats even mentioned in warcom article, they got seperate article to say that!

[@MrKurtank]

Always happy to see Sultan on the cobbles. The battle map was really nice.

[@PaulBassist1]

I want the Black Templars to win...so I get stressed out watching and have to leave the room when Winters is rolling. Thats bad isn't it? Great BatRep Winters!

[@SultanPlays40k]

Peace brother, the Emperor protects

[@oleww50]

13:49 just bought some dice! 🔥

[@Heinz3493]

Might have to place an order for an Acastus Knight Porphyrion in order to deal with a Lancer at long range 😆

[@BrokenProphet84]

The Lancer can't be given the "Unyielding Paragon" enhancement as it's Questoris models only ^^

[@malekiththeeternityking5433]

Thank you Sultan for showing me why not to buy those dice, jk. Great batrep as always

[@strigoi_guhlqueen8355]

What an exiting battlereport. That was tense and strategic. Always great to see Sultan. I would also love to see some chaos knights. They always get lumped in with their imperial counterparts. But I belobe they are significantly weaker and therefore more fun to play against.

[@darnokx9277]

Those Hunterkillers... O_O But... spoiler... I love how in the first turn those Sicaran bolters did more damage than all its other weapons. To a Knight! Hero-level bolter!

[@thomasloudon8187]

One of the best battle reports ive seen, a little biased as a Templar player its good to know someone is good enough to beat Knights. Informative and quick and cut out some of the rolls we just dont need to see but didnt cut too much. Well balanced to watch.

[@wintersSEO]

Thank you

[@AfroChef]

"They don't make you anymore, and that's why 😂"

[@alexanderschrodercalero9683]

I love this kind of games. Very close, decided at the end, at the very end.

[@HereticHammer01]

Great duo. Really enjoy watching your games, and the board looked great

[@WoffBoot]

Absolutely brutal game, well done gents.

[@nklinef]

I LOVE these Black Templars games

[@ericsmith9212]

Nice close game. It was good to see the Go to Ground strat used!

[@Alex-cw3rz]

How did your guest do the chains? Love the design and paint scheme of his army

[@SultanPlays40k]

It's just jewellery chain from my local hobby store! I wrapped it around and added a bunch of superglue to make it easier to paint! There are videos over on my channel showing how if that helps 😊

[@Alex-cw3rz]

Thank you!

[@fairliechoddington6376]

Hey Winters love the videos all the way from Australia! Quick one, there is a fair bit of camera shake when watching on a bigger tv. So I can really only watch on my phone. Anyways, keep up the great work!

[@_SpiritDan_]

Fellow aussie here, and yeah, I've noticed that camera shake too.

[@wolvie90]

I know it's selective bias but I saw so many 1's rolled you'd think you cooked the dice upsidedown.

[@asbo9725]

Phew was panicking thinking it wasn’t Sunday!

[@ruex1234]

After only seeing Sultans dice rolls, I don't think I want to purchase any of those dice.... Except maybe for my opponents. 😅

[@jbumgarn]

Great gift idea for friends you play against

[@dave_s_vids]

Beautiful paint on both sides!

[@dancinswords]

Man those Black Templars look SICK!

[@SultanPlays40k]

Thank you so much!

[@atlas184]

Subbed to sultan just because of how pretty those black templars are

[@SultanPlays40k]

You're breathtaking

[@d7bkyq6]

Sultan is such a king. You two are EPIC….ALWAYS

[@justsayin5288]

It was hilarious seeing Sultan get more and more grumpy as the battle went on. I don’t blame him either!

[@bakuchidancer]

And then win. No right to be grumpy

[@SultanPlays40k]

Incredibly lucky to win this one - 2 games with the same army against Knights I didn't even get a turn 2!

[@emilrudnielsen2972]

You forgot to put the 2 terminators back that the knight shot at but couldn’t see.

[@dave_s_vids]

Really enjoyed this one - my dice order is in :)

[@zHawkC]

But Sultan you pwomised me Ad Mech! Haven't felt so betrayed since this morning when my cat chose to sit on the other sofa instead of on my lap. Great batrep as per usual. Would love to see a fluffy ad mech vs another weak fluffy army narrative battle. Make it happen Winters!

[@SultanPlays40k]

I was going to bring AdMech and I was told to bring Templars!

[@efzmonkey]

Nice to see the big knights in action. On a side note I have some of the new dice and they're lovely.

[@nicolaswohrer2272]

He forgot the free strat with the lancer when attacking the tanks

[@ep9691]

yep .. shock and awe would've turned that turn 1

[@Thedagda801]

I sort of don’t really get a chance to play, but these battle reports are pure joy.

[@tjv2446]

Need another T’au game. Any chance on T’au vs Guard?

[@SultanPlays40k]

I've put my Tau away for now, getting tabled 3 times in a row hurts!

[@darnokx9277]

@Sultanplays40k really should play World Eaters - they sound PERFECT for his approach!

[@defeatedhusband1593]

Not sure if you noticed but the Lancer cannot use that Enhancement that gives Armor od Contempt. It is a Questoris only Enhancement.

[@ezegaming2115]

Ok Sultan, bring an Executioner, a Lancer, and a Thunderstrike for that plus 1 to would goodness. I brought 0 infantry when I played the Knights and tabled my opponent in 3 turns, lol, it was crazy. Good game boys.

[@equos5060]

Sicaran

[@patray860]

Best channel ever! Everyone who watches needs to support the God Father of our hobby ! And no I’m not paid! Lol 😂 and Sultan your channel and advice on conversion and painting is Epic and I’ve stepped up game big time

[@GSIron]

If the imperial knights have towering, would you want to just deploy your units as close as possible, even if its in line of sight, so that you have a chance to move block a knight?

[@Spartan51692]

I'd love to see some information on how the Knights were painted. That kind of greyish design is eye catching.

[@luckylarry71]

Look at all those Hunter-Killer Misses :O Sultan could make some absolute fire content by just rolling 1 on nats and re-rolls like it's nobodys bussines!

[@SultanPlays40k]

Back in the days of rolling 1 for morale, my troops never broke!

[@roryoutdoors5431]

Good morning from Cancuckia! Love my Sunday mornings w coffee and CARNAGE!!!

[@wintersSEO]

Cancuckia? That's in the Baal system right?

[@MasterfulKane]

Tank shock would've definitely turned the game around for lancer. With the str 20 those dice rolls are like a guaranteed 4 mortals at the least very easy to max out to 6. Nice to see you take them though. Great game.

[@MrDubak]

Isnt re-roll one 1 on hit and 1 on wound a honoured rule? as in, you only get to do those after destroying enemy warlord and becoming honored in your next command phase?

[@enderkid2388]

Forgot the lancers free tank shock. And the errant could have had a free carapace weapon. Just to give knights a bit more of an edge

[@bakuchidancer]

Lancer is imperial armour. Not legends. So apart from very weird house rule tournaments legal in tournaments.

[@discovery1970]

I dont see how the lance in range is -2 ap? On the profile its ap 0. Could anyone shine some light on it for me please?

[@huskerdevil24]

AVE DEUS IMPERATOR!

[@Kevin-pi5si]

FYI you can't put Unyielding Paragon on the Cerastus Chassis, only Questoris. No -1 to Wound for Lancer 😢

[@milomoran582]

Man watching sultan fail 5 5+ rerolling into another 5 fails was so brutal

[@warpaintjj]

Can’t believe you used the 30k Knight in 40k before a Heresy game!!! Enjoy:

[@greatamazinga]

I believe in The Emperor and His Imperium. Because I do I can say this. The Imperial Knights are dead and that is a tragedy. But they are dead because they had no code. They are dead because they had no honor, and The Emperor was watching “. Great game!!

[@milkyzg3542]

you should bin those red dice😉. Rolling was appalling😱. Otherwise, I really enjoyed batrep. More Sultan & his Black Templars batreps I say 🙂

[@CharlieSkapentry]

As someone who plays in a ska punk band, I have to disagree, everyone should still buy a trombone 😂

[@thraknar3363]

Delightful

[@catosicarius3262]

F for sultan's hk 'miss'iles

[@chrislognshot]

he has to play cards he was dealt. card say take out knight and character for both cards. so you have play the hand dealt to you.

[@sethdunavant1831]

Just watching the dice rolls....That table either needs leveled or that game matt is really good in terms of being 3-d

[@0meAcat1]

I looked at this! I really think it's the mat

[@tjv2446]

Knights!

[@shadowofhawk55]

Teutonic Knights (Black Templars) vs……French Knights I guess.

[@patray860]

Sultan… why didn’t you Tank Shot with dred

[@catherinedalzell3183]

Suffer not applies to all BT units. Those sixes should autowound.

[@SultanPlays40k]

I'm afraid I don't know which part you're referring to, but it only applies with melee weapons!

[@Surtur04]

If you're using a strike profile on a weapon, you can only attack one target. You have to use a sweep attack to hit multiple targets

[@ves5092]

This isn't a rule

[@yurybarsukov6166]

Like and comment as usual for channel support)

[@wintersSEO]

Cheers

[@lukevickery484]

The dice gods definitely abandoned winters this game, such bad rolls! 😂

[@mrsaltyburns9445]

21:25

[@greybeardgamerguy]

Should have charged both.. tank shot the one with 3 wound, and attack the other

[@OmegaIdiot]

Winters, your idea for OC feels like heresy light. And Heresy made people playing it basicly ignore objectives on board, and its killfest. lets not repeat that

[@_SpiritDan_]

Definitely agree with sultan about stress throughout the game. As good as they look, i still think GW adding inperial knights (along with lords of war in general) into regular 40k was one of the worst moves they ever did. Knight armies might use 40k rules but they are essentially playing a whole different game style. So knights vs knights is usually cool because they both play that style, but knights vs regular 40k armies isn't a reasonable matchup for a lot of factions without heavily tailoring their lists. Even if other armies can beat them, i've found it's rarely ever a fun game for the non knights player.

[@wintersSEO]

You're not wrong

[@adepressedcatwithabadnicot246]

and yet BTs won. I think Oath of moment is bullshit so hey it is what it is.

[@elbloncomagnifico]

I think those dice are horribly balanced. Sooooo many 1’s were rolled.

[@Lamthesavender]

Crikey, sultan BURN THOSE DICE XD

[@darrenquarterman2611]

I’d recokon a 4v4 all orks all using wahhhh

[@geraltofrivia8529]

I was considering a trombone, now I will sub instead

[@4rch3rslif]

Can’t beat black Templar videos

[@stuartfields9177]

Doesn't seem right really to have a Space Marine player with Oath of moment who just beat Knights discussing the negatives of knights lol. Knights are always weak to good objective play.

[@GuyUnderTheBridge]

Really weird complaining about Knights when SMs casually delete them every turn.

[@chrislognshot]

he has to many knight with not all of shooting weapons. if he keeps getting bad rolls. or he get great or good rolls but other person get great rolls to where shooting does nothing he screwed. do fact melee not great for knights.

[@banlungx001]

wow , how is such a close game possible !!
