Blades of Khorne vs Idoneth Deepkin - Warhammer: Age of Sigmar Battle Report

[@TheFriendlyLorekeeper]

Just to say thank you so much for your hard work with this channel! Some of, if not the best, AOS battle reports on youtube! thank you!

[@SeasonofWar]

Much appreciated!

[@Childhood.87]

For Sure the best! Sometimes a Bit too fast when the beautiful lady tells what Happens (for a new Player who is not familiar with everything and has to read), but this is complaining on max level 😂

[@envaya9838]

@@Childhood.87 agreed, I see myself rewind often

[@twitchyterry9495]

As soon as you see post-work Ridge you know its about to go down

[@goobusdingle]

Great job playing to the Idoneth's outs there, the 1-2 double was just too impactful!

[@SeasonofWar]

The daemons got lucky - we'll get them next time!

[@olafolafsson2755]

Was just too much gamble, saw it coming from the turn one choice

[@SeasonofWar]

@@olafolafsson2755 easy to say it's the wrong decision after the fact. Being down in points and having to go aggressive and get counter attacked is also not what deepkin wants to do

[@Stryder467]

I want to cheer for the jaw-droppingly beautiful Idoneth Deepkin(Seriously, wow. Those soldiers look awesome.) but I routinely chant "Blood for the Blood God. Skulls for the Skull Throne." every morning. Blades! OF! KHORNE! Now to observe the Battle Report. Wow. Jaw dropped twice in the same Battle Report. 41 Mortal Wounds. Devastating! Bloodthirsters are extremely swingy. It certainly seems that Blades of Khorne are a force to be feared with their new Battletome. Movement during the Hero Phase is extremely powerful for them. Two hunks of glass colliding will see results like this, although I am a *little* concerned about how strong offense is becoming in this season. Still, great battle report and I'll rendezvous with you at the next battlefield.

[@SeanDitchfield]

The me for talking through the priority decision in such detail, it was really helpful

[@hestia8790]

Thanks

[@SeasonofWar]

THANK YOU

[@dariussmith5439]

Where did you get the bases for the Deepkin? Would love to use them for a DOK army!

[@tildn]

when you charge into Idoneth deepkin on turn 3 (high tide), who gets to fight first? charge does give you fight first too right? so when the bloodthirster engaged the eels in turn 3 why did they get to attack first? didnt he charge?

[@SeasonofWar]

Charging DOES NOT give you fight first in AoS - so the Deepkin units would attack first!

[@tildn]

@@SeasonofWar thank you so much!

[@thefourhorsemen4839]

Would love to see this eel list in action again soon!

[@SeasonofWar]

Definitely! I've been excited to play it, but sadly didn't get the chance to truly shine today - next time!

[@neshirst-ashuach1881]

@@SeasonofWar I think you may have meant "shine"? Or maybe you just really need more fiber?

[@SeasonofWar]

@@neshirst-ashuach1881 lol yep, thanks - what an unfortunate typo 🤣

[@lucafoerster7166]

Great game! I understand the calculated risk on giving the turn away but perhaps it would have been better to give the very first turn away. That would have forced caution from the blades turn one. That wrath of Khorne bloodthirster has a boardwide threat range though so it'd be hard to screen out your whole army

[@SeasonofWar]

You're 100% correct, giving away first would have been a solid choice. My concern was having the pressure of playing from behind in points, and with How far Ridge deployed the Bloodthirsters I thought I'd be able to avoid them for 2 turns. It goes without saying I underestimated their movement potential with the new battletome XD.

[@rickymee9508]

@@SeasonofWar I also think now knowing that speed your turn 1 movement could have been split up more so less takes the damage from the Boom Thirster. Especially the heroes, one back in the corner and one with the other small unit on your table edge? I would love to see this matchup played again with the lessons learnt.

[@MrCyphren]

Loving the content. Last few matches have been a little stompy. Looking forward to a good slog next time :)

[@SeasonofWar]

Check out our membership if you can, extra battle reports means even more variety! :D

[@MrKage95]

I've been really loving the Eidolon, smash king, and thrall blob as a base. the current list i'm trying adds the soulrender, 20 reavers, 2 units of Ishlann, and 2 sharks, though I also want to try the turtle as well. My biggest struggle keeps being who to make the general...Eidolon for 5-7 spells/turn, or smash king for damage and unlocking the eels for battleline? tough call... But yes, i would really love to see the eel spam again :)

[@oldmannerd1978]

Bloodthirsters doing bloodthirster things.

[@hans8102]

Nice battle . Felt sorry for IDK. Question: where did the shipwreck come from?

[@simonurkovskis2010]

I’ve just gotten a khorne list for the first time and have built a similar list but plus skarbrand and was thinking the unrelenting hunter command trait on a wrath of khorne bloodthirster sounded too good paired with fight first from halo of blood. Have you tried out this load out yet? If so, how did it perform?

[@tobiasschreiber451]

How did the IDK get their shipwreck later in the game? Great Batrep, beautiful armies!!!

[@ademar8385]

just thank you for this battle report !! great job 🥰

[@SeasonofWar]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@PortugueseWiz]

What’s the bloodthirster ability that did all those 40 some mortals? And what was the spell/blessing to get it to be 6++? Also what does 6++ mean? Sorry noob here!

[@tizianomerello6530]

What about a video about competitve list building for khorne / slaanesh. There are so many choice for that armys now:)

[@SeasonofWar]

We did a stream last night going over the biggest strengths in the battletome - hopefully that should give you some good, helpful info!

[@daswookie79]

New Seasons of War, let’s go!!!

[@gendriontethris4223]

@seasonofwar - What materials did you use for the Deepkin bases?

[@jackjohnson2949]

How did you base those eels?? I have 15 of them I need to not break off their stands every time I bring them

[@taintedchungus]

How do you do 40 damage in mortals? Maximum is 5 attacks multiplied by 4 mortals for each 6 to wound = 20 mortals if all hit and all wounded on 6s

[@sandersimons8955]

He rolled 2 x 6 to wound. 5 units within 8” of him. So 8 mw’s per unit. 8 x 5 is 40 mw’s + 16 dmg from the melee attacks

[@taintedchungus]

@@sandersimons8955 oh i see. Thanks

Can u give a BT a arcane Tome with flaming weapon? So he will be a litten bit more punshy like He should... for Lore reasons u can say, He focuses his rage in his weapons or so... xD

[@Nicopara]

Jordan : more more more Warp Muscles 😂😂💪🏼💪🏼. Nice battle report! Thx

[@ROBFACED]

Having given priority away first turn, you didn't have it 2nd so it would have been Ridge to decide on who goes first, no?

[@SeasonofWar]

I took first turn in round 1 - so I was breaking ties!

[@jean-francoisnormand673]

Murderlust, so great!

[@evangannon8118]

Prediction after turn 1: Blades is pretty strong compared to their old book so itll be interesting to see how well they hold up against a former tournament crushing list, with that being said i gotta root for the new book. blood letters being 2 wounds now makes them a decent anvil as well and with the 3 thirsters in the back waiting to counter its not going to be easy. Game will be decided by turn 3 either way

[@evangannon8118]

holy shart stains on a new pair of boxer briefs lmao the boom thirster popped off, technically the game ended in 4. all seriousness though if the eels didnt get so unlucky they very easily could have won that. Having high tide on your side is always a game changer. great game as always

[@PetroA]

a bit overkill there))) gonna play my friend khorne soon)))

[@tecgoblin]

those eel bases!!

[@IbragimKastBsd]

Amazing battle report

[@kewanzahedinour7304]

40 mortals?

8 mortals to 5 different units within 8"

[@lancetan7699]

What an amazing batrep! Khorne so strong now@

[@romulandawg8004]

You're Awesome !

[@SeasonofWar]

You too!

[@MuchoBe]

I find it very unfortunate that sometimes games can be decided by a single combat phase. Back in 40k land people are eagerly anticipating an edition change to tone down the game for considerably less lethality. And I know this is just because the rolls really spiked. The Boomthirster in particular has always been like that. It just sucks that this does happen every once in a while in AoS. Many of us can only make time for a game every once in a blue moon. And if this is the outcome of your game for which you took a day off, it just leaves a bad taste. I have both been hit by and did that myself to opponents where after turn 2 we could basically start the game over. IF both of us had time and nerves left

[@MuchoBe]

Either way, great batrep as always and best way to decide for the turn priority 😁

[@claysimpkins7490]

I use to feel like this until i got to the point that i liked to see both me and my opponent do well, so when i got smacked it made me happy to see another army doing good and when i brought the pain train it made me double happy that it was me and my army. The only thing that still rustles me is when my dice just arent rolling right 😅

[@olafolafsson2755]

Building unflexible lists like eel spam or Gore Grunta spam causes this.

[@CrazyBlitzwing]

Never give an army like Blades of Khorne the double turn. Would have been wiser to send in a unit of Morsarr Guard to take out the MW bomb thirster, they'd die afterwards but there'd be no chance of taking 40 mortals.

[@SeasonofWar]

I wouldn't have been able to get to the Bloodthirsters. I could only have hit the Bloodletters, then would die on the counter-attack. My strategy was completely fine though took a risk, had he not gotten lucky with a 10" charge & two 6's on the wound roll I'd have been in a prime position to counter attack and cripple the Blades of Khorne.

[@aaronpowell8398]

I agree. You can’t plan for dice. Sometimes it just happens that way. Hindsight maybe measuring for your character to be out of range of that?? But it’s splitting hairs at that point.

[@olafolafsson2755]

10“ with 3d6 charge possibilities is not lucky imho. Any eel counter attack could have failed through low dice roll or saveroll / redeploy spikes aswell btw. And Bloodtithe points were also ready to be used.

[@SeasonofWar]

@@olafolafsson2755 3d6 doesn't work on heroes though, so the Bloodletters were the only target

[@nucha2fb]

What just happened here 😭

[@Nodonn]

Imagine willingly playing Chaos. It'd be really tough to get out of bed due to the shame.
