[@joeysmith8818]

Can I just say I love the casual nature of this battle report. It has the same feel as walking by a game at a local game store and asking how it's going.

[@CommanderCheapSkate]

Please keep making battle reports! With your terrain and minis they look epic!

[@Kirk.t.g]

Love that the tourney grounds became a battle field scenery piece As always you fought with valour

[@HerrMarajin]

I hope you eventually do some Necromunda reports aswell.

[@Waltusb0yuas]

Yes

[@velentr]

I'm guessing that would depend on Eric's other half, eh? She _did_ say she would, right 😉?

[@teatime1942]

Eric love the format of this video. Combining old school handheld action but within 30-40 minutes instead of a couple hours. Keep it up

[@Dryzual]

Probably the best battle setting I've seen. Bonus points for the dragons breathe template and the secret waterfall cave. Epic.

[@ThaBenMan]

Heh, the secret stash behind the waterfall is so great. A delight to watch this game with your beautiful minis and terrain!

[@Nakai_the_Wanderer]

After having one of the most upleasent Warhammer 40k battles of my life and general frustration with 40k, it is nice to watch some Old World battle reports to see how tabletop games can actually be fun. 40k has become power gaming galore, everything is overpowered, you are removing whole squads every turn and the mission cards decide the game. The goblin green alone makes me happy.

[@EricsHobbyBattleReports]

Soothing goblin green will cure what ails ya 😂 . I am a big advocate of not playing games you don’t enjoy. If you are gonna spend a few hours playing with someone, its worth being a little but discerning

[@Backpflaume666]

Nah... 40k isn't that bad. The last balance dataslate did some very good changes to the game. Sure, there is always room for further improvement, but there will never be a 'perfect' balancing anyway.

[@benmartland704]

My group's just taken to playing a mish-mash of old editions, the raw lethality of 10th is insane

[@MediocreHobbies]

great first report pal

[@EricsHobbyBattleReports]

Thanks man! Much appreciated

[@graefx]

Really great batrep. Engaging narration and commentary and excellent editing too.

[@EricsHobbyBattleReports]

Wow thanks! I can already think of lots of things to improve but your kind words are much appreciated

[@MountainsideTabletop]

Looking good, but you know we all want to see that Kill Team board of yours in action!

[@dippshow]

This is amazing, look forward to many more battle reports! I'm most excited for a battle report on your trench warfare table once it's complete! Thanks Eric!

[@EricsHobbyBattleReports]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 😃

[@newtpondskipper]

That Breton army looks great! I esp love the Dogs of War you used, still the best looking army for my money and hopefully we get rules for them.

[@garbagecan755]

God the paintjob on that Bone Dragon looks so good, it gives it that old school feel despite the newer design of the sculpt.

[@Top-Bun]

Love the feel of this and the one on Skari's channel. Not enough handcam battle reports these days. Would love to see the rolls though!

[@EricsHobbyBattleReports]

Rolls as in the army list?

[@EricsHobbyBattleReports]

Lol oh you mean dice rolls. Yeah it will probably take me some time to settle on the correct format and style. Thanks for the feedback

[@Top-Bun]

Lol yeah the dice rolls. Regardless, you guys are already one of the best bat rep channels thanks to the beautifully painted armies and atmosphere. Keep up the great work man.

[@bushiido8494]

I agree to a certain point, I would of loved to see the dice rolls of the dragon duel and the grail knights getting an smashed, but showing every single dice turns a great little bite sized battle report into a hour slog. No other channel does battle reports this fast and it's refreshing.

[@brainbane25]

Love the terrain! Great job to all for a great battle report!

[@SuperKeenR]

Thanks for the batrep! Just a heads up on ambushers, even though you roll for them in the command sub phase, they don't appear until the remaining moves phase so cannot charge the turn they are placed

[@Storehouse-805]

Im stoked for your new channel! You are the only channel I like before even watching the video. I hope this channel goes so well for you!

[@EricsHobbyBattleReports]

Very kind, thank you! Its cool to have another outlet, im definitely excited for it

[@ColoradoJinx]

Nice to see Tomb Kings do well for a change. That tomb king on dragon was a real monster!

[@Myrkul87]

Finally a battle report that shows models close enough. I recently came back into the hobby and I have been searching for channels to bring on to the TV and see some nice models fighting on the tabletop. Table and models look great! 👍

[@blakej6416]

Loving these first two batreps! And the old Bretonnian models are fantastic!!!

[@sebmstudio1697]

Huge props for playing on a battlefield with so much meaningfull terrain! I was fun to watch and a great cinematic battle report. I'd like to see some dice rolls of crucial moments more often like you did at the end.

[@benmartland704]

Got a big mug of tea and pile of biscuits on the sofa for this one!

[@johnfrith7718]

Great BR! One of the best edited BRs I’ve seen and it makes such a big difference

[@claycountryxwing10]

This was a brilliant video! You could tell you were both really enjoying the actual game and narrative of this. I laughed at the hidden cave behind the waterfall! 🤣🤣Silly bone he's won't ever find that

[@bingobongo1615]

Damn that bone dragon is powerful…

[@Onk3lM0]

It literally is one of if not the weakest Dragon variant in the game, lol. But yes, it's still a Dragon and should be respected.

[@alanrickett2537]

No the knight took rubbish that baron should have had monster slayer which can kill the dragon with one wound of a 6

[@jinkxy2370]

@@alanrickett2537 Yes but since he didnt i wish we could have seen them roll. I really doubt they did everything correct. King should have crushed them harder especially in those rounds without the Hippo guy. Could be bad rolls but since everyone is new to the game my money is on they did something wrong. ^^

[@alanrickett2537]

@@jinkxy2370 seen the same fight 3 other times and the zombie dragon lost all of them in 3 turns or less, also the Skelton mounted archers in this game seemed to kill a lot more than expected they killed more each turn than I have seen there kill in the whole of the other games that rust spell must be meta leading. As you suggested it's likely that mistakes were made, but the quality of the army selection played a big part too.

[@jinkxy2370]

@@alanrickett2537 yeah im only talking about the dragon fight not the rest of both armies. and the knights didnt have a charge bonus most of the time plus the champ/characters were gone. in my experience inflicting wounds against a t6 with a ward save and regen (without lance bonus) is almost impossible without some incredible dice luck.

[@alexneal9534]

Loving the old world. Looking forward to seeing some more reports on the boards you've built(the titan especially).

[@MiniatureRealms]

Really enjoyed this, looking forward to more.

[@AsaWagner]

Great batrep, loved the lower camera angle, felt like I was THERE

[@joonatervonen3626]

Great report! Tomb scorpions should have the wide edge of the base front though. Also, charging is declared at the start of movement not the end of strategy, but that of course is just semantics. More of these please!

[@JohnWise-vg3zj]

Figures, terrain, and battle were awesome!

[@Wildonion1]

There's something poetic about how the games on each of your channels went down. Looking forward to more battle reports!

[@SkaredCast]

Had a blast it was a pleasure

[@gurtana]

Love the Jousting Tourney terrain!

[@hypelp8258]

great video, love the little details like the treasure,people falling over when they die and the bone dragons breath attack. easy follow here

[@dylanramsey5817]

The voiceovers and music are wonderful touches. Great shots of gorgeous armies and terrain. Good work keeping everything going on in the battle very clear. Love it!

[@la_bouche3018]

It was a great game indeed. Splendid table.

[@joshuajupp9037]

Mmm, all those goblin green bases👌 Just finished watching, that was the best report of a game I've seen in ages.

[@broncofun5636]

What a great battle report - delightful!

[@GloriousGrunt]

Great minis, awesome battle report, it did feel one-sided by turn 2 though, those spells and right side units were surprisingly good.

[@DeusMachina71]

First and only Battle report? Very good quality! Subscribed

[@franpschorr3646]

I really enjoy this style of battle report.

[@laurynasjasukaitis3867]

HELL YEAH! Even more Eric!! I hope I get to see a board and army like yours in person someday. This looks amazing. All for more say aye!!

[@kal_spriggs]

Looks great! Those classic WHF horse tails are a pain, always breaking off and falling out, makes me feel better about my own frustration with that problem to see it happens to others.

[@bradenagee5322]

Awesome battle! In the future I'd love to see dice rolls though! Adds a fun ammount of tension

[@bruce99smith]

Great battle report.

[@oitoitoi1]

A gorgeous game! Warhammer as it was intended! Well done!

[@julvatn]

Brilliant battlereport, definatly one of the best formats on youtube at the moment ❤ Cant say I’m a fan og the challange system - it is what it is and you played it to great effect, but its a system I’d rather do without. Great video, subscribing and hoping for more 👍

[@EricsHobbyBattleReports]

I agree, i hate the challenge system. I prefered it in previous editions where i had the option to decline and lose the lady’s blessing. Now theres no option but to get sandtrapped by a big monster. Its annoying for sure but ill be ready next time

[@julvatn]

Yea, for now my best idea is to not take unit champions, and that just feels bad. Tabletop Tactics just housed ruled challenges to oblivion (and I applaud it) but going to events or playing in stores we just have to put up with it. I hope the Nobles of Bretonnia can device some useful counters to it, for now I won't let my Pegasus lord charge a unit with a champion unless it's to back up another unit that has a champion to absorb the challenge, but I haven't found a good way for my Bretonnians to deal with enemy monster characters without them throttling the charge with a challenge. @@EricsHobbyBattleReports

[@kentknightofcaelin4537]

​​@@julvatnImo, challenges should only be available for characters in units, not for single characters to make sure everyone still has something to attack.

[@Lestat_luar]

Amazed by both armies! More videos of The Old World :)

[@Bluecho4]

I love this battlefield. A fight on the tournament grounds. The spectators get in on the action. Even the secret extra treasure hidden behind the waterfall. Scenic as hell. Great battle report.

[@Dhrazia]

Awesome. Some of the few bat reps i actually enjoy. Great format

[@Lee-o7u4t]

Love the use of Al muktars, I use some as mercenary pistoliers for my ostland army. The armies look great!

[@geeksworkshop]

Me too!

[@SkinkChief]

Great work guys, love more TOW content

[@Paddythefox]

Such a beautiful board! Very impressive. Would've loved to have seen mini's clashing for that secret horde of treasure:p Subbed x

[@jercharron7380]

You, Sir Eric, did not disappoint. Love the care put into everything and the lore of your army composition at the very start. 😊 Hope to see you expand outside of GW some day. Would love to see you introduced to This Is Not A Test (2nd ed incoming), Marvel Crissis Protocol and/or Malifaux. Honestly, think you would love them. Subscribed Love the laid-back style and narrating.

[@TomDeTomDeTom]

Awesome battle report!

[@ryanrobertson8974]

Eric & Skari! Two of my favorites. Love the collaboration my genteel dudes!

[@seppbrandner]

Great batrep! Love you guys

[@gergely6142]

Great battle report. It wouldn't change the result, but I noticed 3 little mistakes. Flaming attacks only remove the regeneration, if the unit has flammable too. Skeletons are not flammable. If you win combat, and outnumber the losing side more then 2:1 (unit strength), then the defeated units either give ground, or flee. They can't fall back in good order (unless Grail Knights have some special rule). And charging doesn't give combat resolution anymore. Keep up the good work :)

[@EricsHobbyBattleReports]

Yup! Good spots, all noted! You’re sharp

[@lucianaurelius2418]

Pursuing a Unit counts as charging for lances! Weather they fail there leadership or not!!!!

[@sunnysideup8138]

This was awesome! Its so cool to see your Bretonian army in its all its glory, doing battle in the scenery you made for the jousting. What happens to the duke now though? His home has been destroyed, his people slaughtered and the dead now roam the land!

[@EricsHobbyBattleReports]

I imagine he’ll just raise another army and drive them from the realm

For you, my honoured first subscriber, i will make an effort to. I’ll need to find someone who wants to play with one of my armies instead of using their own, but that should be doable.

Beautiful table. Great looking game.

Nice report, for the next ones show us the dice rolls, it's half of the fun 😉

[@waifu_enjoyer]

Really loved watching this and getting me in the mood to finish my models to get some TOW games in! Did notice at 19:36 you move the damsel to the back of the battle pilgrims/grail relique. Seems like you can only do that in units with a Knightly/Questing/Grail vow which that unit doesn't have: Page 87 of Forces of Fantasy: If this character has joined a unit that has a Unit Strength of 10 or more, and that has a Chivalrous Vow (see page 108), they may voluntarily ‘retire’ to the rear of the unit at any time, moving through the ranks and taking up a position away from the combat. Page 94: Battle Pilgrims: Close Order, Hatred (All Enemies), Levies, Peasantry, Stubborn Grail Reliquae: Blessings of the Lady, Close Order, Grail Reliquae, Hatred (All Enemies), Levies, Peasantry, Retinue of the Saints, Stubborn

Good catch! Makes me want to put an lady in a foot unit even less now

[@Coombsy17]

Hey mate just noticed this channel, some fun videos! Somehow I feel you’ve got plenty of terrain to work with ;) Anyway, I’m keen to watch more!

[@GuCaMiniatures]

So nice report. Simple and to the point. The battle was really interesting, with the brave knights dealing with the big beast on the flank while the rest of the army was trying to survive the hordes of skeletons coming over.

[@Malisteen]

A couple minor rules points: Ambushing units cannot charge the turn they arrive from reserve. While you roll for reserves at the Start of Turn subphase of the strategy phase, models arriving from reserve are not actually placed onto the table until the Compulsory Moves subphase of the Movement phase - after all of that turn's charges are already complete. Also, a wizard who is engaged in combat may not attempt a wizardly dispel. Not a big deal, there's a lot of minor rules complications in the Old World, and I think we're all still missing bits here and there as we slowly absorb this rule set.

[@benediktklauser4611]
