Dark Eldar vs Genestealer Cults: Warhammer 40k DEATHMATCH Game 4

[@MidwinterMinis]

Thanks for watching! Please don't accidentally spoil the match for anyone watching by posting the winner in the comments :) If you think we missed any rules, let us know by replying to this comment, and we'll try to not miss them next time.

[@celricdisvervegia1342]

The cult of strife has a stratagem called "flawless approach" that let one of its unit to charge while negating overwatch, using said stratagem would have prevented those bikers from loosing a wound. That being said, great game, thank you for bringing it to us :)

[@ShadowDrakken]

I'm not sure if it was missed rule, or an entertainment choice; but that was technically a one round win. RAW, the player with models left _may_ choose to continue, it's not a requirement, and the victory _could_ have been claimed at the top of the second round. Brutal victory though for sure.

[@Crises79]

@@ShadowDrakken, if you could, does it mean you should?

when you fired overwatch iirc all units selected as targets may attempt to overwatch.

This was so much fun! Thanks for a great game, and thanks for letting me be a Skype Archon :-)

[@SarajevoKyoto]

@@Meuduso1 Hopefully T'au get their 9e codex before their match comes up, otherwise it's not gonna be pretty. Or...maybe not. T'au Start Collecting is a pretty solid core for a T'au army, and it doesn't have to beat a meta list, just another Start Collecting box. It's not great odds, but maybe not hopeless either.

[@bradymcelroy1627]

AdMech start collecting is meh, if he doesn’t go super meta it’ll be fairly even, even a bit Tau-favored if point values don’t lie

[@RepublicOfUs]

The idea that the Dark Eldar are just raving ultra-hard until they're reluctantly forced to go kill something before they resume said raving is the best thing I've heard all month.

[@MrWertheron]

Weird, I didn't see any comments about the battleground changes after each fight, and the fact that you can see where others minis died or exploded (explosion in left low corner was the chaos spider for ex). Amazing details! Edit: saw two comments at the bottom. Still underappreciated I think.

[@abyssalvoid4644]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@GheyForGames]

i dont even need to watch this to know that GSC gets utterly clobbered

[@TheKodiak72]

Its dark eldar in a start collecting box set.. They will smash every faction except maybe admech.

[@bubblesmccarthy1069]

Admech start collecting is just a transport and a squad of rangers + plus a tech priest very easy to get locked into close combat and get shredded compared to 2 squads of 5 infantry a succubus and 3 fast attack and one heavier ship I think they stand no chance. Unless Drukhari get caught out in the open with stratagem Ranger fire and get really unlucky I think Drukhari will mop the floor with admech.

[@stofosaurus]

It was an utterly half assed effort by the GSC player. If he hadn't DS the hq and acos he would've had a good chance.

Maybe it wasn't too fair to play Drukhari with their 9th edition rules Vs an army that doesn't have a 9th edition Codex available yet. Specially Drukhari, that are ABSURDLY OP in 9th edition.

[@streetstoner3552]

@@sands201 they weren't incredibly shit just not really as strong as the other armies. I play em. I've played with their previous codex and won many games it's all about strategy, if the gsc had the neophytes in front, the iconward behind them, and the acolytes behind that. And the ridgerunner deployed underground it would be a different story.

This series is so amazing!! Although it does showcase why alternating activation rulesets are vastly superior to 40k...

[@johnturner2629]

This is the best battle report I have ever seen. Everything works, the dialogue, the audio recording, the painting, the people and the length of the video. Completely captured my imagination with the army walkthrough and the coloured lights. Sounds like Combichrist are playing a gig next door

[@Hoff_0313]

Yaaaaaassssss!!!! Literally one of the best series ever when it comes to gameplay for 40k! Idea: start Kill Team and make a 1980’s-90’s Laser Tag themed board with teams that are like themed. Bright colors, planets, stars, neon everything! I think this would be a badass series to add to the channel. But again, just my opinion 😊. Your channel your creativity. Love the videos! Thank you for doing what you do MidWinter team!

TBH I would place my bets on Necrons anyway, unless TKsons will be PEZ dispenser of Mortal wounds from psykers then it's hard to overcome Command/Annihilation Barge without Anti-Tank. AP-2 bolters are good against heavy infantry, but so is Tesla Destructor.

You have the best miniatures channel on KZbin! Thank you for inspiring me to finally bust out my battle for macragge box set that’s been sitting unpainted on my shelf for 15 years! I’ve painted my tyranids in Ants synth wave scheme and I’m planning on how to do my marines next. I sat down and cranked out a pretty decent terrain paint job on the Aquila lander too and I’m so pleased. I honestly never thought I’d get to painting these guys but I’m happy I was wrong and happy to have all of your helpful videos! Happy to be a new patreon supporter! Keep it up Guy and friends!
