EMBERGARD Premiere ! Zikkit's Tunnelpack VS The Embergard | Warhammer Underworlds Battle Report

[@criticalfocuschannel]

Check out my full breakdown of all the new, changed and removed RULES HERE!: kzbin.info/www/bejne/moaQc32ufdaFnaMsi=gd9fAqXSDhUEs_tx

I have really enjoyed watching this battle report. Apart from the fact that I am considering starting a fund raiser for an infinite Dice supply for Matias I really like what I have seen. The crit nonsense is gone. I believe that we might have forgotten that this is a starter for a few edition and many people would like it to be another box with hard to score and combined objectives. Relax, we will have more decks available soon. Great job guys.

[@criticalfocuschannel]

Good feedback thrre mate. I do think some of these surges sre abit silly but it kinda goes both ways and well adjust accordingly.

@criticalfocuschannel Yeah some people will adjust and others won't even give the new edition a go. It's everyones choice. I agree that some of the objectives look silly but they might be designed for new players in mind for people who never played the game. I think stuff will complicate as we go further into the edition, erratas will show up and all things will get back to normal. :)

[@MattGaming80]

Haha thanx I really need new dice 😂

[@Gnulash]

Very nicely painted models, and the extra zoom ins makes it very readable. Also like the reading out of the card effects, not just stating names of them. Atleast for now 🙂 Personally super excited about this edition. Ran tourneys and played weekly up to harrowdeep. Left when they changed the card backs, but mainly it was the amount of errata that came with that (as well as the size of the faq) that was the reason. Ofcourse there will be faq's here as well, but hopeful a clean second run with this format from the start will lessen the size of corrections. Game still looks super fun, very ready to try out best of 3 and see how it feels with premades. Know the locals will be very happy to see deckbuilding gone 🙂

[@criticalfocuschannel]

@@Gnulash thanks! We normally put high quality renditions of the cards on screen aswell but its not possible during prerelease window. Good to hear that your local community is hyped! I mean deckbuilding isnt gone really, in fact our next batrep is a nemesis one, but its definately less bloated.

[@mickeybells3390]

Thanks for this, great to see the teams in action!

[@criticalfocuschannel]

Our pleasure 😊

[@eggiwegs]

It does seem like it’s still underworlds… I am relieved those terrain pieces are also still viable…I just finished painting mine when they announced the new edition and the hexes seemed smaller 😅 thanks for the great content, once again!

[@criticalfocuschannel]

@@eggiwegs glad you liked it man. Yeah, they are just slightly smaller so no real issues really =),

[@eggiwegs]

@ awesome news! Now on to the nemesis batrep!

[@criticalfocuschannel]

@eggiwegs do it! 🤩

[@TomMurrath]

12-20 for a Rivals game... those objectives sure are drop dead easy at times. Oh well, we'll all adapt I guess

[@criticalfocuschannel]

Definately a shift for sure, but yeah goes both ways.

[@TomMurrath]

@@criticalfocuschannel My main gripe with the new objectives and their easiness, is that I don't see any way of countering them. You draw them, you score them and nothing the opponent can do to prevent it like in the edition 1 was a possibility

[@criticalfocuschannel]

@@TomMurrath certainly agree a fair few are problematic and not to kick the dead horse to much but im not a fan of seing really bland staples from the essential card pack rebranded and even in some cases made even easier (branching fate)

[@markreynolds1436]

Watching is interesting. It does seem like they've taken the opportunity to rebalance - Stormcast going to 5 seems huge. Underdog (which I'm fine with barring something gross) is also interesting. It could be argued that it forgives a degree of poor balancing as well - so if you do get a bad matchup (inevitable with loads of warbands) it kind of self-adjusts.

[@criticalfocuschannel]

I feel the underdog edge here is really rather minor compared to some neighbouring warhammerf product's ditos so I quite like it tbh. Stormcast on 5 wounds is fitting for sure, and I kinda liked the feel of overall more health paired with effect stacking ban etc.

[@markreynolds1436]

I'm looking forward to seeing how the Sepulchural Guard play. If Petitioners are 0 Bounty that will completely change how they work.

[@criticalfocuschannel]

​@@markreynolds1436you mean zero from the get go? Hmm, we'll see.

[@markreynolds1436]

@@criticalfocuschannel I have been trying to work out how to divide 7 by the current layout. Maybe 3 Warden, 2 Prince, 1 Champ and Harvester? Or do 1 each? Or make the Prince another basic, and only have different rules for the 2 that are armed differently, and go 3, 2, 2? Who knows?

[@criticalfocuschannel]

@@markreynolds1436 warden 3, champ 2, prince 1 harvester 1, petitioners 0 ?

[@markreynolds1436]

The casualty at 18.00. Was Cleave involved? Otherwise wouldn't that have been a draw? What have I missed?

[@criticalfocuschannel]

Correct! I think I was tricked by his defeated "no" 😂 honestly.

[@criticalfocuschannel]

@@markreynolds1436 or maybe just old habits 😅

[@markreynolds1436]

@@criticalfocuschannel I wondered as much. I'm sure I'll do it

[@tomasplocek9566]

Hi, Could I ask for the size of the side Hex, thx

[@criticalfocuschannel]

@@tomasplocek9566 the sides of the hexes are pretty much smack on 1 inch /2,5 cm

[@MrVidma1]

Nice report, sadly it shows everything I feared when I seen changes. Looks pretty dicey and without denial potentional especially those surges :(

[@criticalfocuschannel]

@@MrVidma1 cheers mate. Yeah some of those surges are too low effort imo and should be adresssed.

[@RayRay-ze7yl]

they replaced the art work with pictures? 🤮

[@criticalfocuschannel]

Yeah thats really a big downer honestly.
