Drukhari Mandrakes vs. Warpcoven [Kill Team Battle Report]

[@abefaerber7994]

The paint job on the Mandrakes looks fantastic!

[@Rlndgunslinger]

Came here to say this!

[@avrankulj]

These guys are so so so good. Painting is the tip of the iceberg

[@MushieNino]

Whoever painted those Mandrakes Kudos.

[@DanaHowl]

Damn those Mandrakes look SIIIIIICK

[@MountainsideTabletop]

Thanks Dana!

[@TheFerociousDinosaur]

Best battle reports on KZbin by far. Especially love those post turning point reviews that replay the movements and actions.

[@skavid4811]

LOVE seeing Warpcoven on the channel (win or lose)

[@wtfserpico]

I'm stealing that night sky idea for the cloak/magic/wooshy-bit on the Shadweaver. That looks amazing!

[@warbossbenny6877]

Finally, some good bat reps to grill to

[@GrapeHate]

00:42 That music

[@darthvaderyan]

The glowing tattoos look incredible

[@daili4917]

You guys really put the kill into Kill Team, great match up! I wanted to press that like button a second time when I got to the part about goats. I'm not too sold on the shadow portal on TP1, I think the smoke might have more use (take some shots and then smoke to prevent return fire).

[@FiannaBat]

YEEEEES been excited to see these spooky boys on the field!

[@JoshuaCarbaugh]

That intro Mandrakes music.....boppin'

[@rosspowell4446]

These kill team battle reports are easily in my top 5 of content. Great work

[@michaelgee8132]

Paint on mandrakes is epic as usual for the lads! Love it keep up the best kill team content in the world. You're drawing new players daily with your vids....

[@jeffreymonsell659]

I have more luck with Warpcoven focusing primarily on objective play and killing as a secondary concern. Also, if you're doing Sorcerous Ritual, you gotta have the Appendage on one of your sorcerers. Makes that OP so much easier.

[@sincopemg]

Amazing video guys. You cannot reroll the same dice twice, so the kill of the chooser of the flesh shouldn't had happened maybe, but amazing game!

[@tatez24]

Hell yeah, I'm about to play this match-up tomorrow!

[@Leudast1]

How do you do that bone/ivory color on Warpcoven? Looks great! I'll watch the video now.

[@johnnappa]

Forgot the AP1 on all Rubric bolters!!!! @ 9:00

[@serra9323]

Great batrep! Just care about shodow passage action..you can do it only if you teleport in shadow and without any enemy line of sight :)

[@FlorelaFTW]

11:20 I'm pretty sure that's illegal since you already teleported earlier in the turn.

[@Omega_Tahu]

You’re correct, the shadeweaver setting up the portal eats up the once per turn shadow passage

[@danielmcconnell5991]

Another great video guys! Thank you for the best kill team content! (The mandrakes look sick)

[@user-nn9mg3sw9j]

As someone new to the minis, it's amazing how much cooler your Mandrakes look with this paint scheme compared to the box art.

[@nickrafuse984]

enjoyed watching my new favourite team win. Thanks!

[@charliesantiago1560]

Cheers from Spain, keep on the good work Brothers! I really enjoy your battle reports ❤

All the missing AP on the warp coven is real rough.

The Mandrakes look great!

[@JamesWilson1979]

Would love to watch how Vic painted the Mandrakess, they look amazing

[@antongrigoryev6381]

11:18 I don't think you could do that since you have already used the teleport with another guy. Sure, the portal guy has an ability that if you go through the portal it doesn't count for that restriction, but the way I read it, the initial move that creates the portal still falls under the restriction. The portal token is only placed _after_ you have already finished the move, and you have to finish the move within range of a portal for the restriction to not count - that portal doesn't yet exist at a time when the restriction is checked.

[@thadevans1789]

I think this is correct. You perform a free portal action, but it still counts against the limit of one per turn because it's not using the portal for the action. To tele two guys TP1 you would need to use the shadow portal for the second guy.

[@masonbrilliantba]

The mandrakes look brilliant and glad to see one of the new teams fight another can't wait to see them fight others!

[@BingusMcdingus57]

Those models looking slick! Great game.

[@nnnnnccccc]

Those are some impeccable mandrakies

[@TheRemoteClaw]

I have given all my warriors scythe so I know what they are. One of them doesn't have a scythe option as default but I just molded slightly and glued it on and it looks great

[@camh.3656]

Super que tu mettes un peu le projecteur sur ce jeu (plein de defauts dun point de vue ludique mais tellement immersif dans lambiance et la narration). Vivement la suite de l unboxing. Et peut etre une vf des extensions ?!?

[@Lothrean]

To me it seems like you guys didn’t roll defense dice based on the target APL for mandrake shooting attacks. Or maybe I am just seeing things.

[@GreatOldOne999]

Yeah they butchered the rules

[@tedcincoski2497]

Dig the new music for the Mandrakes

[@stevebarnett-f5o]

[@Kerldogg13]

sick mandrakes theme

[@BB-pn2qv]

That was a good match!

[@Raptor0256]

came for the mandrake paint job i kitbashed one of my warriors, so all 4 would have sickle blades. although i did toy with the idea of using hair colour, gold for leader, silver for specialists and plain colour for warriors also did you forget that the warpcoven has AP1 on all thier guns? you were rolling 3 defence dice for the shooting attacks

[@efgee9873]

Mandrakes have invul saves

[@Raptor0256]

@@efgee9873 thanks, forgot about those

[@michaeljdauben]

Great battle report. BTW, I'm stealing that starfield shadow cloak idea from you. 😉

[@neilybobber694]

Edit : I thought if you are playing Nemesis claw, when the diergmaw would interrupt you , use 1 cp for Vox scream and then he can’t. This won’t work sadly

[@Omega_Tahu]

You actually can’t, as in that instance the Dirgemaw is the only elligible operative to be activated and Vox Scream can’t stop the only elligible operative to be activated from activating

[@neilybobber694]

@@Omega_Tahuwell shiiitttt , duely noted, still learning so I will remember that for next time I play them. Thank you

[@JessePerryAndCoffee]

@@Omega_Tahu dropping knowledge on YT and Disco. Thanks for educating us all!

[@azophi1]

Does anyone know what paint(s) would be used to achieve the blue fire on the Mandrakes? Thanks!

[@alt4g]

I know it's been 3 months but in TP1 they used shadow passage twice, once on the shade weaver and once on the chooser

[@AtomR]

I gotta say, the minis are cool and the graphics are rad. That being said, I doubt there's any turning point where any of them spend CPs on strategic ploys to just forget about them the following activation

[@TheycallmeWade]

I had the same plan for the shadow on my man drakes, make it look like galaxy and night sky

[@elderbasilisk1534]

I think the play was activating the sorcerer first in TP3 rather than shooting with the warrior. You were in position to warpflame pistol the leader then doombolt (or. Fluxblast--I didn't quite catch what disciplines you were running on the sorcerers), heal, or charge+fight the dirgemaw (I think Vic was out of CP sobhe couldn't do tye fight first ploy) or just run away and score vantage. But regardless, the warrior was going to be around to activate later but the leader was going to go down unactivated like he ended up doing)

[@cosmoceratops]

Did the Warpcoven get a little paint update too? Those blues are looking extra good.

[@davidg9030]

Nice bat rep 🎉

[@bodsarmy]

Love your videos. Honest question, is KT worth the extra learning curve and difficulty over Warcry? Clearly KT has more depth but do you find it more fun? Realise that's super subjective!

[@TheBeeFlex]

Excellent as usual 🙏 NIGHTLODS NEXT ? 👀👀

HOW did you get that astral looking cosmic mandrake cape?

[@MichaelGraas]

Mandrakes looks awesome...but the Dirgemaw is a different model then the one you showed on the turntable, the Dirgemaw is the guy with the hair in front of his face, and the open, screaming mounth :)

[@MichaelGraas]

but it s ok, I like the extra confusion 🤪 you guys should do painting videos too!

[@albertocortes368]

Super cool battle reports, I would just add a bit more competitiveness to the games to learn top moves or plays.

The warpcoven is different sets for Kill Team or they made one for them?

YES!!! LETS GO!!!

[@NotEmperorPalpatine]

LET'S GO!!!!!

[@ayooooadrian]

Respectfully, I gotta disagree with Vic on the whole "teams should have static loadouts" idea. TL:DR: Static loadouts create non-flexible, static matchups. Sure, it makes assembly and painting a breeze, but in terms of play, it's so hard to adjust to all the different "genres" of opposing teams whenever all your equipment, ploys, and tricks are all telegraphed, because we know Mandrakes players are going to do the same things every game. Having options allows players to feel more comfortable going into potentially less favorable matchups, and even more so into more favorable matchups, and it prevents being discouraged at the beginning of the game when your static loadout just doesn't have an answer to your opponent's favorite tricks. I get wanting it for simplicity's sake, but it makes certain matchups horribly discouraging.

[@ayooooadrian]

Loved the video, easily the best KT BR content on KZbin! I just love how much most teams are able to flex based on the situation.

[@MountainsideTabletop]

I hear what you're saying, and it makes sense! What I really mean is that I feel like Kill Teams should be able to be made competitively with one box. I don't like an extra financial barrier to entry for those trying to get into the game.

[@sarrakitty]

@@MountainsideTabletop I agree with that part, but GW is gonna be GW, they'll never go for giving us spare models to make all the options for teams that have more specialists or loadout options than you are allowed to bring in one game. They want to have strictly enough bodies in a box to make a legal team with a single set of options and that's it... sadly.

[@ayooooadrian]

@@MountainsideTabletop Heard that homie, hopefully GW will give us more bang for our buck or make magnetization less of a chore in the future. Thanks for your thoughts! 🤟

[@Ben-kc9ye]

Why are you starting with 4 CP i thought you start with 3 max

[@MountainsideTabletop]

Technically you start with 3CP, and then gain one more at the beginning of TP1. Unless you've spent one before the start of TP1, you will start with 4.

[@rosebraidt4894]

Lets goooo

[@trickshaw]

What am I missing? How did the Icon Bearer die @15:13? The Shadeweaver rolled a crit & two hits. The Icon Bearer rolled a crit & two saves for defense. Edit: Oh, that’s right. The backwards math soulstrike shenanigans. I don’t know why GW uses these mental gymnastics mechanics. Just say their saves are 4+ instead of 3+ and be done with it. So annoying.

[@forgefathervulkanhestan18]
