I played Dawn of War with REAL WARHAMMER 40k

[@ZorpHammer]

If the Dawn of War Warhammer videos take off I'll be doing up a free How to Play video here on Zorphammer, but in the meantime if you'd like access to the early drafts of the rules they're available over on my patreon, it's also a great way to support Zorphammer, and let's me allocate more resources to Dawn of War WARHAMMER!

This is a really good idea. I wouldn't be surprised if Games Workshop contacts you about it.

Will you add the guard?

Love this episode, love you guys. Tiny bit of friendly advice, can tone down the energy a bit. Outside voice is good but leaning towards kid presenter. Love the sayings though for wounds and all that. And your mile manored ork player is the best XD

[@NinjaTactiks]

This is the best variant of 40k I've seen. You guys made my dreams come true implementing a base building aspect

[@dracosummoner]

Seconded, the production values with the visual effects and the audio ripped straight from the game are SO good!

@@gwrthwynebiad True. But even in OG DoW, many Tau units had longer weapon ranges than LoS. They worked best when relying on other units' vision.

[@IsmaelSantos-xv9qf]

@@dekai7992 Ye, placing a scout squad, a firewarrior squad and a broadside battlesuit guarding a chokepoint, with one stealthsuit squad a few steps in front to grant vision made the whole thing nigh unbreachable against the AI.

[@illiteratebrian1707]

This is my favorite battle report I’ve ever seen. This is amazing!

[@ronitabick961]

Love this! Especially the magnetised upgrades, the terrain and the smoke effects. Really engaging! Is there a way of having some overhead / map shots? It’s a bit hard to keep track of where every one is. Can’t wait for the next part!

[@JoeHardacre]

Yeah some top downs would be good. Great idea and execution

[@jonathanjacobson1352]

I'd confidently say this is the most entertaining Bat-Rep I've watched from any 40k edition or KZbin channel. The smaller scale and great narration really makes it engaging. Looking forward to ep2!

[@armymanDR]

I really like the way y’all film/present your content. It’s clear, it’s cinematic, and it’s very explanatory without getting too complicated. Sometimes battle reports can feel either too detailed and boring or too pandering and simplified. Keep it up! More battle reports like this will be amazing.

[@Walshy1Jojo]

I absolutely love this! Please don't stop. Spent way too much time in DoW and DoW 2 back in the day and this is the closest I will ever see to this on tabletop. I remember the White Dwarf DoW battle between Orks and Blood Ravens back in 4th ed and been thirsting for Imperial vengeance ever since. FOR THE EMPEROR!

[@WargamingHistory]

Loving it, completely crazy and very fond memories of the computer game! The terrain is looking fantastic and the added voices is hilarious. I must say what a great idea. Influenced by your madness I have purchased some old school Eldar….somehow I need to fit that in with my latest other crazy projects on the list at the moment. All of my Orcs and old Marines are still in Australia in storage!

[@ZorpHammer]

Thank you so much mate, happy to have dragged you down this rabbit hole with me haha

[@pt1457]

I wish I could like the vid more than once. This is such a great followup to your HH series. Thanks for making this!

This is the best Batrep I've ever seen, You made 40k look exciting. The game mode looks awesome, I love DOW.

[@14852577]

This is far and away the best Narrative battle report I've ever seen. I can see this becoming a genuine add-on to Crusade and then evolving from there. You're adding more than what I see so much of, less L shaped terrain, varied buildings, a different setup, consideration for how the rules influence things, discarding the turn limit so things go faster starting out. If this is successful enough you could have a major energizing effect on the narrative end of the entire game. Shine on ZorpHammer, you guys got my subscription.

[@PlanetPisss]

This is so genuinely cool. Absolutely fantastic job on this home brew ruleset!

[@ironbomb6753]

That was excellent! So much more fun than just setting up 18" apart and shooting. 👍

[@kevinthegreatandthemighty1403]

Great job on this battle report, the buildings look amazing and it's really interesting to see the requisition system giving you limited resources to work with.

[@ZorpHammer]

Thank you for the feedback Joe, that's really helpful stuff mate! Sometimes it's a bit hard to truly see how much it translates I'll try and keep some more wide shots in part two, and maybe even look at some mini map options for future episodes if the series continues strongly :)

[@jobalisk6649]

Really cool. Think you might have to reread the oath of the moment and heavy rules though. Oath of the moment allows rerolls to hits AND wounds. Heavy is a plus one to hit if standing still but no negative if you moved.

[@ZorpHammer]

We use the Combat Patrol Oath of moment not the full faction bonus as it's more balanced for our scale :)

[@mykyzer23]

That was really enjoyable. GW should have done this years ago but I’m glad you are doing it

[@brunswicklord6365]

This is how 40K should be played. Many years ago I ran a game on a 4x12 table.. it was basically a Space Marine thunder run down a long winding valley with random numbers of Dark Eldar appearing. That game itself was inspired by a miniatures set of rules called Pony Wars, Hollywood 7th Cavalry fighting hundreds of Apache in the desert. I have never been inspired by competitive play with strict lists and predictably placed terrain but this is just brilliant. Definitely more please.

[@jaelee1996]

Dawn of War 2 with its limited unit population might be very doable in 40k.

[@TheAlaskaninja]

The editing in this video really brought everything together, I loved seeing the DoW hud show up. I can't wait to see more campaigns!

[@MrMegamike2k]

When I played DoW, when it first came out, I instantly wanted to adapt it to the tabletop. Unfortunately, I was always an Eldar player and never bought into the Astartes. I have a custom-made Exodite force called the Coccinaeldari, painted as Ladybugs, from a made-up maiden world. So this series is hands down one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time. Can't wait for an Eldar faction! I love the magnet system, btw!!

[@iiJDSii]

This is amazing! DoW was (still is) my favorite video game, and got me into the table top game. What a creative and fun way to combine them, I hope GW and others consider cool base building modes like this! Btw what's your paint scheme for the Blood Ravens? They look great 🔥

[@ΙωάννηςΜπουντούρης]

[@raptor1181]

I want to start by saying that I love this so much!! All the work and effort you have put in really shows! All the attention to detail and the buildings are just amazing! However, I just can’t follow along. Because I have no idea what the ruleset is you could have been on the edge of winning the whole game or one move away from a crushing loss. I really do understand the concept and I bet it was a blast to play but, at least for me, I just can’t follow it and there is no sense of where you are in the game. I just want to end by saying that this is amazing! Thank you so much for making this happen!

[@ZorpHammer]

It's just a narrative scenario to explore the mechanics and hopefully tell a fun story. Glad you enjoyed it, in spite of the lack of clarity of the rules :)

[@KnightsOfDice]

Loved it Lauchie. A lot of work in these batreps but its a truly unique take which (for someone who's not really into 40k) was wonderful and exciting to watch! Looking forward to the future.

[@ИванРеймер-ц3э]

I remember playing custom rules crusade when you have only limited options and need to spend resources to the buildings, accesing new units so you can progress your units, conversing them with tech tree with some other custom rules like different crusade mechanics. It was my best experience in WH40K although we played in TTS and not IRL

[@joefitzgerald3382]

100% yes, ever since dawn of war i have thought the same but never put anything into actually making it happen! glad to see it being done

I am not a few minutes into this video and I am already hooked. I have never played the Dawn of War video game, but now I want to go find a copy to load up my PC. I have been replaying Command and Conquer Red Alert II recently and this reminds me of the gameplay but IRL. Although I’ve watched several tabletop wargaming battle reports on KZbin, I really enjoy your narrative style and enthusiasm. It really helps capture your audiences attention, at least mine. I hope there are more of these types of battle reports and behind the scenes terrain builds and character paint-ups. Thanks for reading. Subscribed!

[@joshmortimer3433]

Loved this Narrative play, really nice job. Felt sorry for the Orks though, that dice roll of a 3 that went down the slope would have missed their building. Looking forward to the next one.

[@felipeopazo2662]

Great video! Remember that the heavy weapons now have no -1 penalty on the move, but a +1 if firing while stationary
