Very engaging and enjoyable! I absolutely loved how movement was done and how each unit was handled individually rather than everyone moves then shoots then charges etc. Although I felt you had to concentrate on it to keep track it was still not too fast paced and rapid fire. My only ask is that you explain what mission type you're doing, what will get you victory points (That's a victory point!) And it would really help if you said when someone got a victory point rather than show the total at the end of each turn. Right at the end I was thrown off by the sudden jump to 6 and 5 victory points and felt that it could have been explained a little clearer? All that aside, really loved it and I hope more rapid fire battle reports will be coming soon! Perhaps even a campaign game, fought over a planet by competing armies like vigilus? Although large games might be harder to make rapid fire, they would be much appreciated however, the 750ish style point game was really good as well! Can't wait for more!

[@denimandlead7725]

They explained that Ben holding 2 out of 3 of the objective boxes (worth 3 VPs a piece, also mentioned) is the reason lewis (holding 1 box) lost when he failed to roll a 3+ on the "continue mission" roll. Resulting in Ben's end game points jumping to 6, while lewis, who already had 2 VPs, only jumped to 5. Hope this helps, they said the reasons for the scoring but I can see how it was easy to miss if you weren't paying enough attention.

[@louishenry6090]

@@denimandlead7725 Yeah I get what you mean. Pros of rapid fire is that it's engaging and not being but the cons are you have to really pay attention rather than put one on and paint whilst watching.

[@denimandlead7725]

@@louishenry6090 definitely a lot of info packed into a small time frame

[@Pattoe]

I don't play warhammer miniatures or anything but I found this video really easy to follow and never found the points confusing. It was explained pretty well, Lewis had 2 VP from first blood and killing ben's leader, each of the 3 crates is worth 3vp for whoever controls them when the game ends, meaning ben had 0+6 points and lewis had 2+3 points. I feel like, if they did a real idiots guide to victory points during each of their videos, that you'd lose a lot of the flavour and fun then put in their videos, to make up the lost time explaining everything.

[@dekenwolfe]

@@Pattoe which ones were the correct crates, there are the wooden ones and the metal? ones. and how do you control them?

[@WaveOfPureWhite]

Loved the report :) The Onager doesn't get worse at shooting when moving because of the "Crawler" rule though :P

[@TangentRecard]

Arratem it’s why they are so good. The only thing resembling a tank the Mechanicus have (ignoring FW stuff) and it’s brutally efficient.

[@Vorbix]

Mechanicus and Necrons, Lewis has the best taste in armies.

[@GeneralSkibo]

Or he bought Forgebane.

[@Nimbus3000]

He also has a thousand sons army with Magnus at it's head.

[@nickdziura7373]

Vorbix I started an army of both because of Lewis, but I'm stygies not agripnaa

[@paytonburrows2325]

“Are you saying my Magus is a pimp?” Best out of context line in 40k ever.

[@azjdann]

Love the format, makes the strategy more apparent, enjoy the pacing. Distil the essence of the Omnisscia into a tincture, for easy consumption.

[@salamanda550]

I really love this format, It doesn't bog down the game and lets us see the nicely painted models going at it, with commentary!

[@greatgypsyking104]

I actually really enjoyed this! You guys gotta do more of these!!!

[@kimmatzen6504]

Very nice format. The more fluffy approach and the short video makes it a lot more consumable than most battlereport videos.

[@MS5]

Nice sound effects. I like to imagine the editor did some 'Foleyship of the Ring' work for them.

[@benrunciman4399]

I too watch/read loads of bat reps. I really like howthis game flowed. I don't need to see dice being rolled. Sound effects were great

[@zcvhzd]

This was cool as someone who doesnt play 40k and doesnt want to watch a super long video. But i’d understand if people would like to see all the rolls and decisions

[@Synersys]

I really like the sound effects. They add quite a lot to the flavour but the background pewpew become annoying about 10 min in, plain music or ambient sound may serve better, in my "subjective" opinion.

[@AverageJoeGaming]

Thanks for feedback mate, I'll look to improve that for next time!

[@Pattoe]

@@AverageJoeGaming Just rewatched the part of the video that Synersys mentioned here and I can't hear any "Background pewpew" at all. If it helps, I personally thought the use of sound effects was great.

[@Dawnfeethers]

@@Pattoe During (I think) Lewis's turn, or maybe the shooting phase, there was a muted laser/plasma fire sound effect they used as backing, but i think it might've got a *little* old, just because it was used so much. If they'd used it like the genestealer screeching it'd be way better.

Glory to the Cult, the day of ascension has arrived

[@sip359]

Really good idea and a different take on battle reports...Many many more please

[@craigrowan4001]

This shorter Battle Report style format is really great!

[@destesful]

Definitely want more of this kind of content! Missed it when it came out, only stumbled upon it today. Great stuff

[@unspecificperson475]

One new, and well earned subscriber! Love the fast paced style, the narrative, and the low points! Made for an interesting and attention-holding format, please make more!

[@Skyscraper125]

Enjoyed the rapid fire battle report format a lot! 2 notes I'd like to throw in to improve some tactics around the board and that I see a lot of people tend to mistake from time to time. 1. Rolling perils on double 6's means you suffer perils and cannot cast anything else in the turn, but what you cast still goes off. 2. As a World Eater player, melee is complicated! But something to note is that you get 3 inches pile in before fighting, and 3 consolidation after fighting! This includes even if a charging unit doesn't have anything to fight as they always activate on a charge. While this is only to the closest enemy, it's still big. Get that extra movement in, it can be crucial! :D

[@pdelic3644]

Amazing Battle Report! Sound effects and all. Great job! Thank you.

[@jamesedmundson9684]

Can't say jow much i appreciate this. I love the game but the highlights like this make much more engaging entertainment

[@Kadeshean]

Absolutely loved it. I hope you guys do a whole lot more.

[@evanjohnston2882]

Enjoying the rapid fire battle report but will miss painting alongside to the longer videos and streams. Keep battling battle boys and Tom

[@Foxzolaire]

Battle report? Battleboi Report??

[@stephenmf481]

perfectly edited video love the new format. I generally don't have an hours time to visually watch stuff so this is great for me!

[@piko665]

I love this about 20 min format. Keep them coming and I eat them up.

[@commanderboreal1343]

I love it! We need more battles in this format!

[@Denzeinify]

Fantastic format, concise but still engaging. Very true to your aim of recreating a White Dwarf battle report in video!

[@XDRageBreaker]

Really nice short format, can’t wait to see more of these!

[@guillaumecleach5124]

I loved this. I enjoy watching you guys play 40k but I don't have time to watch long videos. So this is perfect for me

[@thebelltower1145]

This is an excellent format! I'd like to see the dice rolling though (especially the double sixes into double sixes reaction). Also the bases of Lewis' models are really nice, love the blue grass.

[@SlayerOfWorlds]

Really great to see a new take on the battle report. Way to set yourselves apart. I recommend keeping the narrative focus high, and the banter moments a primary focus. The magus death story was just priceless, way better then just showing dice rolls and the grumbling as you removed the model. They little story explanations where the shining moments.

[@ZedZeddlingtonchannel]

Love the format :) great chat and explanations

[@Zipperheaddttl]

Best battle report I have ever watched.

[@Wraithhunter00]

This was a lot of fun to watch, loved the special effects, lol. Please do more!

[@Titan2801]

I love all of the battlebois content! more more more! I know you guys are so busy but these are so enjoyable! Never stop being yourselves!

[@jacobthompson5527]

This is probably the BEST battleboys video ever! pls keep this up!

[@jayradcliffe337]

Honestly guys, this is fucking excellent. I would love to see more of these in future!

[@cowmansmincraft]

awesome. i was worried that you meant that it would be so quick we wouldn't get to see banter but nope it was really fun to watch

[@midastheunwise2423]

An excellent format, as someone with not a whole lot of free time I find that this format is much more suitable for me, and has no 'downtime' in excitement, which Warhammer often does, both to play and watch. I would suggest though that if a full live recording happens, it would be great to have cuts to footage of the really crucial dice rolls, just so you can see the players' reactions. Lots of potential for excitement and salt.

[@commanderboreal1343]

WE WANT MORE!! This format is amazing!

[@Screwtapello]

I like that they're using High Rollers "Idle Champions" dice. There must be like a million of 'em rattling around in YogTowers, getting into the carpets and colonising the air vents.

[@jacksonbarker1252]

This was so good and I enjoyed watching you guys do something you so obviously enjoyed! Please keep these coming!

[@Americanheld]

This is some great production value, nice work! Make more please!

[@commanderbacara225]

Even though we no longer get to see the sheenanigens of the Battleboy banter, I do like this format for quicker games. Not bad at all.

[@bencollard2953]

Has anyone else watched this like 5 times now? Love the format please do more

[@seafox21]

Absolutely loving this format! I'd been hoping for some more medium length (30-40 min) stuff on this channel. More pls!

[@jt1687]

God, I wish they'd bring these back.

[@robclarke3084]

Really enjoyed the format, only thing I’d add is specify when and why you’re getting victory points

[@drakhoon]

very well done, and a good way to do it. You could even do a full campaign with battles reported this way and that could be interesting.

[@SunkenPlanets]

This was brilliant! Please do more in this style. The way you did the backstory was really cool!

[@TubbyFatkins]

Love this format. Love how digestible it is, excellent editing. I really like small tactical battles like this!

[@tomh3574]

If this became a weekly thing I would watch and rewatch every episode idk about anyone else but I love it

[@fudgeyman99]

Really good format looking forward to more!

[@robbibob6392]

Fantastic format! I hope it's not harder on the editing so that we can get more of these!

[@justsayin5288]

Liking the format lads, would love to see more of these

[@Huntsman897]

Love this format, makes it so much easier to watch. Please do more of these!

[@miikkavirtanen6797]

This is an amazing format! A hundred times more engaging and enjoyable than the regular run-of-the-mill batreps many other channels do here on KZbin. The only thing I would add personally eould be some quick flashback cuts to reactions from very specific dice rolls (such as Ben rolling double sixes twice).

[@Felipe.Portugal]

Lovely Battle report, very enjoyable. I was missing 40k content, more plz!

[@A1Kangorrilapig]

I would love to see more 40k battle reports done like this

[@davidt7381]

Great format, super fun! Sneaking in the occasional important roll would be okay I think, the reactions are always hilarious. Nice lookin Mechanicum too btw!

[@RoninAndreas]

I very much enjoyed this format of a battle report, keep it upp Battle Boys!

[@Trotsworth]

Great report! I'd really like to see many a bit of ongoing lore for your armies, like recurring characters, worlds and such

[@EmpressArachne]

Love this format! Makes it so that someone who knows fuck all about warhammer can consicely grasp what's going on and have a good time, fantastic work lads

[@Hochdorff]

"We follow all the rules!" Lewis Brindley, Yogscast, 2019 -> Quote of the decade.

[@brucederal9606]

How do I give more than one like? Been waiting for something like this, keep it up.

[@0301NightWolf]

Love this format. This feels like you guys are doing an after action report to your boss or teaching a class of new recruits. Makes a nice change, also love the sound effects. Please, please, please do more.

[@gjiroux4]

loved it! want to see more like this but also dont mind the longer diceyer(?) versions

[@scottallen2371]

really like the short form report, would love to see more

[@ironcladguildhand9321]

I want more of the Skittari troops - They're just the coolest things ever!

[@gregorygames7579]

Yes,more of this please I love your battle reports

[@agraabui]

I like it ! Do some more with this rapid format !

[@HPLovedCraft]

This is good! I love you guys, i like warhammer. I know it is a time consuming hobby, but this way makes it really enjoyable to watch! Please do more of these.

[@Jacktionman101]

Much prefer how this style of batrep was done, looking forward to many more in the future :)

[@TheIceBard]

I loved this format! The mission objective could have been explained better, but overall i really enjoyed it!

[@tobyharvey6040]

I really liked this format. More Please!

[@Mejonnaise]

i really like this new format, its so much nicer to watch

[@Gordyan_Knot]

I strongly prefer the battle report style of Warhammer vids. The pacing is so much better.

[@tg3086]

Loved the video! Great format on it, keep up the battle reports!

[@BiggishMoth]

Really watchable format. Love it!

[@facepalmjesus1608]

FINALLY! A bronze green ad mech! now i m happy

[@lordzao1]

I really enjoyed this format, definitely would love to see more of this!

[@markusheinel2239]

That was actually really fun to watch! Thanks guys

[@jackharding6483]

this is so much easier to follow than an hour long miniwargamming slog of squining to see models and dicerolls, please do more!

[@AlexAttemptsTabletop]

Great video. Fast paced, engaging & the sound effects added to the atmosphere. Hopefully more rapid fire battle reports down the line :)

[@TinyPlaysGames]

Yogs, this was excellent. Keep this method going forward

[@MisterTingles]

Crouching Strider Hidden Mungo, what a blockbuster.

[@Soapstone_]

Loving this format! Love both of those armies too, can't decide between Genestealers and Skiitari, so I might just let you guys decide with the winner xD

[@The_Rising_Ape]

What an interesting presentation for a Battle Report. I found it highly enjoyable though I will agree with other posters that more information about the mission and better tracking of Victory Points would be an improvement. I'm eager to see what comes next from these Rapid Fire Reports.

[@lionslug]

Some people are complaining that you have taken out all the rolling and other stuff but honestly if this video was an hour long there is no way a lot of people would watch it (including me). this style is more interesting you still completely understand whats going on and we don't need to sit through 20 minutes of admin, if people are that desperate for watching people roll dice just play it yourselves!

[@SlayerOfWorlds]

lionslug i agree, there are so many channels that show dice in the format, there doesn't need to be another..

[@lv100Alice]

i actually forgot about the rolling until you mentioned it in this comment

[@blister4walken]

Agree. But an occasional dice rollin' , full fat, admin included battle is nice too.

[@NerdyZanoth]

Loved it guys! Do more videos like this!

[@XanderCottrell]

Not going for the basic bitch Red/Rusted Admech, the Black/Grey and Gold, looks amazing, and the blue tufts of grass look neat too o// well done Lewis. Also, thank you for still trying to do these things guys, theyre really fun, but i understand how hard they are to make time for/make youtube friendly.

[@IcepickSpongy]

As much as I do like watching the actual whole game, this is quite a cool format of battle report, quick and super interesting.

[@wilfredsun4056]

Quite enjoyable. More stuffs=more goods

[@Nadz203]

Great format. For me games like 40k are a rule set to RP around in the same way D&D's rules are framework for RP so i really enjoy the extra RP details and fluff.

[@andrewoates5364]

I liked the format and editing, more please :)

[@NormieNPC]

Man I remember when they used to do this. Unfortunately they stopped after 1 aos and 1 40k :(

[@praisethesun7255]

That was a really good battle, I can’t believe Ben won. It totally looked like Lewis had it in the bag. Also like the new format makes it a lot easier to watch in one sitting

[@MrOliverdunn]

Amazing series. Please keep doing these

[@madeyouclickwebdev]

More of these , the style is awesome!

[@fmlproductions7178]

love this it's much easier to watch the whole thing
