Drukhari vs Imperial Knights Warhammer 40k Battle Report Ep 31

[@SkaredCast]

Had a great time filming this game ! Thank you to everyone who is rooting for more of these :) . 🎉

[@Duppyman695]

Everyone Gangsta until The Evil Elves start raiding with their pirate ships

[@JUST_GAUNT_GET_ENOUGH]

"We love you Mathew let us do more of this" on another note I really enjoyed this layout for the play style. It was alot easier to understand where the points were coming from.

[@shawnrodriguez4489]

Correct me if I’m wrong. But I don’t believe the shield breaker missile is one shot anymore. It doesn’t have the keyword unless it got added.

[@shawnrodriguez4489]

Also. I kept watching and you don’t get the cp and the booster fnp till the knights players next command phase. I don’t think it would have mattered here. But good to know :)

[@Darkja]

you are correct, missiles are now unlimited

[@Jburnage]

The harlequins prove yet again to be a tough out for any army, even when they're supposed to be your allies.

[@karstend542]

Am I the only one, that sometimes have a really hard time reading the dice, when its the clossy special dice?

[@edwinjuengel4168]

The Castellon gets to reroll damage rolls of 1 against vehicles and monsters.

[@Darkja]

This, the Castellan re-rolls naturally ranged damage rolls of 1 against vehicles and monsters.

[@editor2766]

Thankyou for adding fires and gravel for my viewing pleasure!

[@painterpiperspaceman]

What a great video! As a narrative and cinematic set up lover but GT TO, I am always so conflicted by the bland and boring tables that dominate matched play. I say you guys shouldn't worry about replicating what we see everywhere. Keep creating beautiful and interesting tabletops! 😁

[@maxtracker2904]

Love the GT format early in an edition where everyone is still looking to see strengths/tactics for factions.

[@CHETOS_93]

More of this please!! :)

[@Lilliathi]

Great, Drew Carey is my favourite actor.

[@zacariasgibbs504]

The amount of 6s that guy rolled on imperial knights jeeezzz

[@ReaperOperator]

I really like the imperial knight battle reports they are a lot of fun to watch

[@Guitoune-v10]

A great part ! the mandrakes would have been good I think to score points 😊

[@evinoshea5215]

love the GT style - especially now that its tempest of war style - they made competitive just enough more accessible to new players like myself

[@zurg69]

Where did u take the battleshocked tokens?

[@Vandelberger]

Stop shooting the Elves, they are already dead!

[@troy6882]

😃😄😁😆😅 5 Smile's and Again Nice game.

[@MsHarames]

First shooting for knights like a joke for harlequins

[@michaelmcnamara3190]

10:47 Someone is getting an imperial medal 🎖️

[@midwesttactics675]

What playmat is that? I see it has deployment zones built into it

[@marcarthur100]

plz gev us more like this they are so much fun

[@RickJagger13]

the real pain tokens are the damage taken along the way

[@gingerplums1943]

Knights are strong! GW still has some work to do there to balance that faction.

[@johnj.spurgin7037]

yeah, even with the points hikes Towering is just so good as a force multiplier, and Knights are brutal with their chonky statlines and- in the case of imp knights- really good rules too.

[@MasterfulKane]

​@@johnj.spurgin7037rerolling your 1's to hit and wound in shooting and melee is what makes them hyper efficient. If they change it back to 'one reroll' from 9th then they will dip majorly.

[@johnj.spurgin7037]

@@MasterfulKane and yet they dominate handily with that ability, and remain obscenely durable with their statlines and 6+++

[@korig3251]

We love you Matthew. Let us do more of these.

[@zulrockzagat1013]

In turn 3 that executioner could move out with a stray that lets you ignore enemy units to fall back but he could also just kill the guys in shooting

[@BestFloor99]

We love you Matthew! More GTs please!

[@kaleth6873]

We love you Mathew more GT!

[@bakuchidancer]

Would be better if there was more terrain that allows hiding from knight shooting.

[@Grimbago]

Great batrep! It seems that dice have downvoted for Skari T_T

[@ssvishnov]

Are the rules from the 9th edition codexes not valid anymore? Someone told me the only rules armies get to use are the few you find in the indexes. If this is true doesn't that mean that a ton of rules and abilities from the 9th codexes are no more?

[@johnsd3341]

Rules from the previous edition do not carry over into this new one

[@travishayton1183]

We love you Matthew. Let Skari do more of these!

[@piotrgrzywacz8793]

Great game! The Drukhari shall return stronger!!

[@kevinlavigne3d]

We love you Matthew we want more of them GT's

[@stax6092]

Like and Comment for Skari. Always good to see Drukhari die. :D If it's Steve's Archon, working for Archon Skari, I could see him getting thrown under the bus by Archon Skari.

[@kinginyellow1490]

OK, i am going to call out shenanigans. At 47:13 he rolls a 1 that is slightly cocked on the wound counter and to be fair would have counted as a fail and you did count it as a fail., but not 3 min later that same thing happens to you at 50:00. But you count it as cocked and re-roll it. I don't think you did it on propose, but it does look pretty bad. Good Bat rep thank you.

[@wh40kev98]

So many IK 6s

[@MasterfulKane]

Y'all really need to look at your knight stuff again, im not seeing 'a reroll of 1 to hit and wound' its not singular or rapid fire range of your stubbers or using the shieldbreaker missiles every turn. But it is crazy to see even with less efficiency that they decimate.

[@matthewdame-brusie3592]

The knight oath allows reroll of a one to hit and a one to wound. The stubber has rapid fire 3.

[@matthewdame-brusie3592]

And the shiedbreaker missiles have lost that one use only.

[@MasterfulKane]

@@matthewdame-brusie3592 a shadow of their former self unfortunately

[@mattk4093]

just for future reference correct me if wrong, you roll for attacker and defender, winner is attacker attacker deploys first roll for first turn, the winner has the first turn

[@knoxminis1211]

The winner of the first roll off gets to choose who is the attacker and who is the defender. Defender then gets to choose sides and deploys first. Then you have a straight roll for who gets to go first.

[@Bravens40k]

The way you describe it Matt is how it’s detailed in the rule book. The GT cards change that to basically be how we did it in 9th Ed

[@dannyhill7094]

Anyone notice the loaded dice. Call me me out for this but how can you roll so many sixes one after the other. The odds are staggering. I think the Imperial Knights had a huge helping hand.

[@cooptastrofie]

I play against Sam at my local store all the time and I have seen those same dice role lots of 1s. Sometimes the dice just role on your favor.

[@dannyhill7094]

@@cooptastrofie to be fair I rolled 5 out of 6 dice, 6's last night all gaining sustained fire too. Ive been out of the game for a while. I forgot about the way of the dice 😅

[@brianwagner8291]

My win record in 9th with Imp Knights was 0-4, hopefully I'll have better luck in 10th.

[@danielbob2628]

Luca has a Knight army for sale? I can't find his email...

[@gearsofdawn]

His crusader has Icarus auto cannons, why didn't he use them?

[@cackmuffin]

Why is it that ruins can't be destroyed? If you think about it the units weapons are strong enough to bring down the ruins to just a pile of rubble and actually cause damage to units hiding inside. Why is this not a rule? Ruins are in effect better then fortifications in that they can't be ruined further. Seems lame that units can just hide in ruins and turtle a bunch of fire from huge cannons that can puncture dreadnought armor but not a stone half broken building?? Haven't played warhammer in many years thinking about getting back into it but turtling in buildings you can't destroy seems annoying. Please help explain

[@sac-outlet4672]

I think it’s because of armies like knights (or astra militarum) which would be very favored if they could destroy units.

[@Dewoy1]

Can Drukari just take anything Aledary without any disadvantages?

[@tearable20s95]

No to play craftworld yvrain has to be your warlord and you can only have 1/4 of your army be non craftworld. Both dark elves and craftworlds can ally clowns but again only 1/4 can be clowns

[@earlwebb5281]

Knights are not broken. It's the terrain people play with. Everything on that table is a ruin. Use some actual impassable buildings that completely block LOS instead of all ruins. This table literally have one type of terrain on it. People want to use all ruins still with 9th edition army lists.

[@johnj.spurgin7037]

the problem is that not all battles are going to have terrain everywhere. Knights only being balanced on terrain-choked boards is rather poor balancing.

[@FarseerB1rdy]

Knights should never have been introduced to 40k. Absolute nonsense faction.

[@earlwebb5281]

@@johnj.spurgin7037 You obviously either didn't read or didn't understand my comment. I said gamers need to switch up terrain. My tables have three or four impassable buildings that completely block LOS towering doesn't ignore that. Obscuring as it was last edition was a very negative play experience. Infantry could see and shoot at your super heavies, and they couldn't do anything back. Not to mention they couldn't walk through the walls like infantry can so almost 30% of the board was off limits to them. The all ruins tables have to go away.

[@HeyItsWatson]

People who say drukhari are bad are NUTS, this army due to the free points per unit can literally bring to bear firepower for any foe with almost any unit. Like your opponent has to make mega saves on everything all the time. Granted their squishy but such is spoony space elf life.

[@HeyItsWatson]

knights on the other hand are just like giants and ogre maw in sigmar, they really should just be their own game mode. Its boring when everything in an army has toughness 10+ AND invulns.

[@Demonarrows1]

Can we stop letting people use dice that we cant see as viewers

[@samthompson2980]

Great batrep, but again, PLEASE do a test film before to see if dice are LEGIBLE! those blood angel dice are useless and can't be read, meaning every shot of those rolling is a waste of everyone's time!

[@M00nDanCR]

Primary points cap at 40

[@donovana.buckler4729]

primary points cap is 50, secondary points cap is 40 for a total of 90+10 for paint

[@Quole1234]

oh look. imperium wins again. Does eveyone on this channel who plays anything other than imperial armies suck? Xenos/chaos haven't won a single game of 10th lol

[@danae.charae]

i'll be honest, and this isn't meant to cause controversy. But Knights vs anything else is the most boring game report ever... i honestly don't think they should be in anything else other than apocalypse. its just not fun to watch.

[@FarseerB1rdy]

Yup. They are the most boring faction to watch. Just like Sons in Sigmar. I'll move my few models and then it's just a stat check. Yawn.

[@MRLOLLAST123]

This game was over before the armies had even deployed. Some random drukhari vs knights is not a competitive game. Knights are just to skew. So Skari, arguably one of the best druhari in the world vs random knights player guy who walked in from the street,and Skari loses.

[@kud5659]

Agreed...

[@dragma907]

I know the clowns are the underdog in this matchup but I never feel bad seeing the anti-fun army get obliterated.

[@Whoknows21356]

Sounds like a skill issue that you couldn’t beat Harlequins.

[@dragma907]

@@Whoknows21356 I never played against them, they're an army for edgelords with rules that suck the fun out of the game.

[@SuperItalian]

Just an FYI you should not have spent your command point the first-round to reroll the damage roll of 1 the castellon automatically rerolls a damage roll of one if you are shooting into a vehicle or Monster. Also he's wrong about the Siege breaker missiles they're not a one-time-use anymore they were in ninth they're not intent get rid of the Cannons on the castellan replace it with two Siege breaker missiles and one Cannon. And if you don't move your Crusader it gets sustained hits on all of its weapons you didn't do that at all you need to learn how to play your Army before you go on a video and play them

[@SkaredCast]

Harsh ! 😢. Kudos to those who come , and visit and ply games with us , and shame on those who are quick to judge people playing a game with little toy soldiers.

[@redhairjoe1]

Dude the games been out two weeks. Please touch grass

Bruh, 10th has been out for a like a day chill

[@nathanielphillips2576]

You know what's fun? Playing against a great opponent and making content for people to enjoy. You know what's not? You whinging about a rule mistake on a free video. As indicated above. Please, respectfully, touch some grass! 😂😂

[@SuperItalian]

@@Silink12 10th edition has been out for about 3 weeks there's literally data cards that show exactly what your army does every one of those armies has abilities I was pointing it out Jesus Christ people. And the thing about the missile is because he didn't even look at the castellon he just assumed it was the same as 9th that is lazy
