Definitely the best channel to start with! Funnily enough it was this channel that got me back into 40k after after a ten year hiatus!! watched their 40k tutorial video and now I have an almost 2k point list of death guard painted and waiting for a chance to play! Feel like they're one of the few channels that explains the rolls. Most channels just roll the dice and expect everyone to know the stats of every model.

Thank you for a battle report that actually cares about the production. Close-ups of the battle and miniatures only from relatively fixed positions or slow pans. Fixed positions for dice rolls. No shaky handy cam that makes you feel sick. No far away shots of the players (no offence but I am interested in the game and minis not what ya'll look like). 30-45 minutes max! I wish all reports were shot this way and I appreciate the extra time you likely spend to get those shots looking good.

[@benrafferty3084]

Now that’s a snazzy intro if I’ve ever seen one

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Another fun match! I love the arena battle damage and the paint scheme you chose for your chaos marines. Btw...Protip for anyone who buys the Chaos Space Marines start collecting box: the Obliterators can teleport strike, so don’t have to be deployed on the table turn one with a big target on their backs. They also have the Infantry keyword, so if you give them the Mark of Slaanesh they can fire twice in one shooting phase using the Endless Cacophony strategem. It hurts to see CSM knocked out of the tourney so early!!! I had them going all the way! 😭

[@jcephrie]

Guy threw it - he's in deep with the Colchester Mob.

[@AncientWyrm1775]

@@jcephrie My thoughts exactly. CSM are a faction with most of their power wrapped up in stratagems and synergies, while their standalone datasheets are pretty weak. Guy literally didn't use a single stratagem besides CP reroll, lmao. He also didn't use any supplemental content like Vigilus Ablaze for better Black Legion traits and stratagems. Really annoying to see him play such softball and basically lose on purpose.

[@MidwinterMinis]

Aah, but Craftworlds have a vendetta against Slaanesh, the "Ancient Doom" special rule, so I avoided it :(

[@jcephrie]

@@MidwinterMinis You could've used Grandfather's Blessings and/or Sacrifice (using Chaos Familiar) to heal and possibly resurrect an Obliterator, but those are some deep cuts for someone who doesn't play CSM as their main army.

[@SolidStoat]

Plus the MOP was deployed miles from the things he should’ve been buffing, for 1CP the venomcrawler could reroll all hits and wounds with daemon forged, the long bomb charge attempt into the farseer with the possessed was just silly and a waste of a reroll, and the aspiring champion has 3 attacks on the charge not 2, so could well have killed the War Walker. And ancient doom only effects in melee, and the oblits would’ve pasted anything trying to get close if they hadn’t been thrown away turn 1. Yeah, the chaos box has a big points advantage, and the oblits getting to double shoot would probably have ended the game there and then, but to watch a match get so obviously thrown was just depressing :/

This is way more complicated than it normally is so don't worry. It's only like this because the obliterators have to roll three d3 dice (a normal die but divided by two rounding up) to determine each stat when they fire. (if I remember correctly, the strength is six plus the first d3 then the other two are just the other d3 dice)

But they're slow, and have very short range. And no invulns. And like everything CWE, very expensive. Obliterators are actually really good against Wraiths, so it was super unfortunate that they didn't manage to do anything.

[@Not_Here_To_Make_Friends]

@@angelsantiago7712 I give him a pass on missing some special rules and not using the army as efficiently as possible because he isn't a CSM player, but I give zero pass for the deployment, movement, and decision making. "Eldar can shoot me off the table so I will put my best shooting unit (oblits) out in the open instead of behind this wall or in reserves." No matter what kind of army you play, that's a bad idea. "I have 10 guys with guns that could sit on my backfield OBJ, but I'm gunna put a melee unit on it." Come on, really? Those two decisions alone were likely enough to have lost him the game. I haven't looked at a chaos codex since 6th ed and even I know those were terrible tactics. Had he lost because of unfamiliarity with the rules I wouldn't be so harsh.
