[@laytonrosen3656]

They really missed a great opportunity to call the vermindoom the rataclysm instead

[@bdgarrett81]

Brilliant

[@sarahhillary7698]

Yes-yes! Rataclysm Storm-things can keep there nasty Cat-things 🐀🐀🐀

[@robertlewis4769]

Stealing this! Excellent!

[@shmabadu]

A moused opportunity.

[@SpicyToTheDeath]

Vermintide 3: Warplightning Boogaloo

[@bleizh_le_rat]

this is the perfect occasion to reunite felix and gortrek, with felix being one of the stormcast defending against the skaven and gortrek rushung to kill some vermin

[@schmlondaysxd9504]

that table is incredible

[@KamenRiderGreed]

Im *SO* hyped for AoS 4, and this is only adding fuel to the fire!

[@sarahhillary7698]

Warp fire fuse yes-yes? 🐀🐀🐀

[@Kimtanashino]

I might be the only one who cares but i LOVE when players named their characters. A cool habit that disappears nowadays for no reason :(

[@sarahhillary7698]

Cataclysm! A Skaven’s greatest fear, Cats! 🐈‍⬛

[@WatoReinhardt]

Nick was one of the TOs at my first ever big comp, it was throne of skulls years ago back when you had a set amount of wounds rather than points for age of sigmar. He was really kind and helpful I’m glad to see him doing well in the company he’s a good dude

[@nickbayton3838]

Hey! You’re really very kind, thank you! I look fondly back at my days running events - it was just so great to meet so many passionate hobbyists. Hope your hobby adventures still bring you all that fun and joy :)

[@DaHobbles]

July 13th feels so far away! Peak hype after this battle report 🙌🏻📈🙌🏻

[@baconmantube]

The only mistake of this current ruleset is calling the rule "Seething Swarm" and not "Clawback"

[@1212matty]

Prosecutors have the fly keyword so shouldn't have benefited from the -1 to hit from the cover terrain I believe.

[@mitchellverstraate5756]

The -1 to hit was not from the terrain but from the command ability "covering fire"

[@MrGreenpaulo]

That was so obvious as well when the camera showed them towering over those small rocks lol

[@blkjet117]

They are -1 for flying but not -1 for cover. I didn't notice if both were used.

[@Strade8]

@@mitchellverstraate5756 19:31 here they say is from the terrain

[@willbrown1708]

A great and very beginner-friendly introduction to the game! Thanks y'all!

[@ce4879]

What a nail biter! Every round had an epic moment in it of either heroic last stands, seething hordes flooding in or mythic figures besting the odds! AoS4 is right to start in the Realm of Aqshy because it’s gonna be Fire! 🔥 ⚡️

[@scottbarber2736]

Good energy and your enjoyment has me ready to play. Thank you!

[@MrElliotholman]

I know logically it’s a choreographed battle to try and match it up with the cinematic and that apparently doesn’t matter at all. Just flat out hype for this edition. Lovely energy from the guys playing too

[@canedtoad966]

For sure. A great demo though and got me interested in Age of Sigmar again for first time since Fantasy Battle was shelved from a GW perspective : )

[@Kerldogg13]

Nick is the best presenter! His energy always brings me into whatever he's doing, even if I'm only mildly interested to begin with!

[@brokenheroics8223]

I run a small shop and sell GW products. AoS 4e is so hyped. We can't wait to run games and tournies in the near future.

[@disciplineistruefreedom8983]

Hey a quick question they played four battle rounds in this game. Will AOS 4th edition only be 4 battle rounds or is it the 5?

[@officialwarhammer]

In Warhammer Age of Sigmar, different Battlepacks will dictate how many Battle Rounds are player. For this game, we're using the First Blood Battlepack from the Core Book, and for that one, you play four Battle Rounds. Hope that helps!

[@disciplineistruefreedom8983]

@@officialwarhammer thank you for the explanation.

[@MrGreenpaulo]

Awesome game! Loved it! Thanks for making it free to watch :)

[@Fistandantilus2000]

This is high quality stuff, keep it up

[@Axorfett]

Wow, those new stormcast models look amazing!

[@WilhelmScreamer]

I want that table

[@ultraxcam9113]

As a predominantly 40k player, I've been going back and forth on whether I want this box but this has swayed me, the new edition looks so fun! I especially love the skaven claw Lord bravely running away

[@DavidSmith-sx6kh]

Great presenter! and well presented BR.

[@uraxe8284]

We need more of these

[@fliky90]

I'm a simple man who likes simple things, I see 4th Edition.. I click..

[@scottmills4164]

Im not sure i like the underdog rules. Getting punished for doing well seems odd. It's probably always going to be beneficial for Stormcast and other low model armies. We will see. Cool report though. Thanks guys!

[@EuanMilne]

These are so enjoyable, would be awesome to see more things like this, maybe when new battletomes come out or revised tutorials for things like Horus Heresy and Kill team

[@robertof.5283]

The dices are in favour of the rats rats yes yes. Beautiful game and Models. Hyped hyped for the 4th yes yes

[@yungoldman2823]

I would love to see more of this kind of stuff on this channel

[@rollnycgaming2279]

That Clawlord absolutely proved himself, there's no doubt in my mind he should receive some sort of promotion. Too bad he'll probably be stabbed in the back by some random Rat.

[@bdgarrett81]

Definitely bringing a few Sphiranx to a fight with skaven. Cats and rats

[@beardhammerwargaming]

May we request a Spearhead Batte Report with Ben Johnson and Mat Rose? :D Or a regular game where both of them go all out? :D

[@1Kapuchu100]

I know Stormcast have always been a burly faction that's hard to take down, but I do still get a feeling that everything is getting a bit tougher all around. As a Daughters of Khaine player, that does make me happy. Maybe my glass cannon will become a little less glass now!

[@pandoragoldspan7012]

I'm pretty sure attacks across the board are getting worse

[@JojoFan46]

I love Warhammer

[@danfindlay-robinson]

Great video loved it yes yes

[@WorldOfWeebcraft]

This is what we needed

[@brownbearwargaming]

This looks fantastic...been slowly building up and AoS Orruk Warclans army ready for this new edition....not played a game yet and can't wait....might even be brave and make our own battle report!😂🐻

[@bigjess7406]

Jimbo!!!! You threw should have covering fire against the general.

[@user-rm9qs4hz1p]

I am looking forward to seeing more AOS4!

[@seeyousoon1771]

Looks really good! Looking forward to order! Sorry if I missed it but for matched play will table and objective size be the same as in the previous edition? Thx.

[@DisgruntledArtist]

Somewhat significant rule missed, AFAIK: The Endless Vermintide should've enabled Jimbo to bring back the clan rats via the Gnawholes. He should've had an extra unit on the field during at least one of those turns. They could've been important for screening their lord.

[@KelstenGamingUK]

Great fun 🤩

[@cristhianmlr]

I *NEED* that gameboard!

[@karl273]

Great game. Very excited for the release of Skaventide!! 🐀🐀🐀

[@elias1579]

AOS 4th ED FTW 🙌

[@seizedmeansofproduction4739]

Glory to the Great Horned Rat! I have to say gents, I think you have sold me on a box of rats in my near future.

[@sarahhillary7698]

Thirteen praises to the Glorious/Great Horned Rat! Mightiest of all-all the Chaos Gods! Yes-yes 🐀🐀🐀 in other words I’m sold too, let the VERMINDOOM BEGIN!

[@Silgin77]

Why there is two kind of "THE LURKING VERMINTIDE" abilities? One of them, min 5:20, doesn't have the "Once per battle" condition, the other one, min 6:45, has it. Anyone can explain it to me please?

[@paulmeredith2037]

Hi, fantastic battle report really looking forward to getting into this new addition of AOS where can you get those objective markers from? As they look really cool

[@Roadkiller85]

I really hope that there will be enough copies for independent retailers...

[@Sebek031]

You said Rat Ogres Hehe. Good not all of us are into those toung breaking names.

[@e21big]

So much PlayOn vibe, I love it!

[@ruddychung479]

Love the table! Where these wooden platforms created or are they part of a coming set?

[@officialwarhammer]

Scratch built by the army painter guys.

[@timingfire7759]

4th edition looks Great! Anyone know the points value of the game? I’m curious to see how it works with larger games due to the amount of healing available it seems catered to smaller games, but looks like a good change!

[@jonathanmills7096]

Sweet gaming table and Terrain! Any chance those will be available for purchase?!?!

[@Dwilson1282]

so the stormcast no longer explode on death or did i miss something?

[@sashashadowhive6128]

what do they mean with the battle control at the end of the battleround?

[@sashashadowhive6128]

Nevermind i already get it. Its how many victory points they amassed in total from just controlling objectives...

[@Fyfel]

Question, are these just the models of the skaventide box + gnawholes? 1200 points apiece? Can you play a balanced game of AoS with 1200 points per side? I’m not very familiar with AoS

[@user-dd8et1fx7h]

Good game 👍

[@shorelessskies]

It’s not a battle report without Nick going “bleh!”

[@Slaitaar]

How many points is this game?

[@Lodorn]

34:30 wait, don't you have to declare which attacks go where before you start rolling anymore?

[@Johnnythat1dude]

FOR SIGMAAAAR!

[@JackBristow94]

Should the prosecutors have been minus one to hit at 19:30? Do they have the fly key word?

[@OmegaIdiot]

Good question i wanted to ask too!

[@Shimmering_rain]

The Prosecutors have *Fly* which means they should not have benefited from the Cover rule.

[@darrenrichardson6146]

@@Shimmering_rain But your thinking of 3rd edition Cover Rules, they're using 4th edition so it may have changed.

[@aerka0s760]

@@darrenrichardson6146 No no, It's a novelty of 4th that fly units don't get cover. Cover restriction right now are just 10+ wounds characteristic unit or that charged this turn.

[@oceannova6976]

When can we have Stormcast Eternal in Total War??

[@MagatsuNimura]

Wait, has been The Lurking Vermintide nerfed before seeing the table?! In the faction focus, the ability didn't specified "once per battle", but it does say so in the battle report T_T I'm a sad sad skaven.

[@Bloodworia]

Yes-yes. Roll-Roll, the Dice-dice

[@Elvings92]

Are units visible to themselves? Because seems like the Grey Seer can teleport himself.

[@John.mm93]

Yes always

[@Goon94]

Can you not cover an objective with your models base? Didn't they try that rule in 40k at some pont then quickly change it back because it was so clunky?

[@daze226]

Looks like you can sit on top of an objective marker, as the Clawlord does this when it charges the Lord-Vigilant.

[@fredsch3993]

Iam so hyped of the new Edition! When does the ne rulebook launch in Germany?

[@officialwarhammer]

In the Skaventide box - preorder this Saturday. Separate release hasn't been announced yet.

[@nick_alderman]

Die-die Storm-things.!!

[@mondaynugget6503]

Rats for the Rat God! (Games workshop please bring skaven tp 40k I will buy a whole army if you do)

[@jonathanneveu1681]

Why did Napoleon never defeat the Skavens? Because every time he made a battle plan, they gnawed it away! :D

[@HarDatJump]

Is this a full 2k points game or custom rules to show the units from the box ?

[@Derek8487]

I'd like to know too

[@TheFeilo]

This are the units from the skaventide box where the points are around 1.2k for each faction

[@paul-antoineleboeuf6357]

Are they allowed to say vermitide instead of verminedoom

[@ce4879]

Yes, Vermintide is used in the AoS lore & videos. Vermindoom is much bigger though. Vermintide= swarm a city or kingdom Vermindoom= swarm multiple worlds & realities.

[@Basscannon90]

Awesome, AoS keeps winning!

[@RoyGuerrero1904]

I drew artwork of the kriegmens fighting ratmens in school

[@miguelvaquero5063]

This is spearhead or a normal aos battle?

[@officialwarhammer]

Normal Age of Sigmar battle.

[@warpseer]

what does it tell you that they used all out defense every turn? its too cheap

[@sahwandis2007]

Perhaps this can be a gameplay for mobile & PC idea, i hope i can play that game but i low money now, but watching that gameplay make my heart can feel if i was there playing that game too

[@Acetylcholin]

How many command points you got? after 4 rounds you both spend like 8!? I thought you get max 1 or 2 per round?

[@cooljoe500]

Each player gets 4 each round. They don't carry over to future turns.

[@CromCruaigh]

Seems to be 4 at the start of round. Plus one for Underdog when coming second

[@user-hc5ij8jw6p]

Wow

[@kasuheartsrivals]

Glued to the screen, let's gooooi

[@Arcothefox]

A great battle report. But they forgot to bring the clanrats back after they were destroyed. That's one of the key abilities on their warscroll. When destroyed, the unit goes back into reserves and can return to the battlefield. The game could have gone the other way if that had happened.

[@cooljoe500]

That's spearhead, not regular AoS.

[@iosefminkov]

That’s a spearhead only rule

[@John.mm93]

No lol
