Dawn of War is arguably the greatest warhammer video game of all time and along with Lord of the Rings, is one of the biggest influences on my relationship with Warhammer, and all things tabletop wargaming. It was the spark that lit the inferno which became my teenage Warhammer 40k obsession, as soon as I was immersed within the hobby I wanted to bring this game to life on the table. I made several attempts as a teen, inspired by a mid 2000’s White Dwarf article, and I actually planned to launch this project in 2018 but got distracted by Middle Earth but with Games Workshop currently cranking up the Nostalgia for early Warhammer 40k, I cannot resist any longer.

Thank you so much for watching guys, a big wait between episodes 2 and 3 as this was a MONSTER to film and edit

[@hunterbooth9554]

Seeing Necrons in this would be really cool as the build quite differently then most factions

[@ZorpHammer]

Yeah I completely agree, alreayd roughed out their rules as I'm a huge nekko boy haha

[@pitakosthepwner]

OC in 10th edition is per model. So in the end and 33:54 the marines should have captured the Objectives. Both for scouts and termies. That of course is if didn't have a home rule in place! Other than that Great report!

[@Drakefance5]

This is such a great concept, you should definitely do more collabs, playing some guys in person would be great too. If it gets enough traction, it could potentially become an official ruleset.

[@AlshainFR]

I would add a special rule If you can perfectly recreate the unit's quotes in context, you get a +1 to the fitting roll

[@ZorpHammer]

WORD. WORDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[@ConQuestie]

at 33:50 I believe OC is additive, so the terminators would have had a total OC of 4? vs the sentinels OC of just 2? right?

[@jwsntn170]

I was thinking the same thing. Came up a couple of times and I wondered if it is specific rules in the Dawn of War scenario/system he's built. in the video game I don't think you can cap with enemy units present at all and this might be their interpretation of that.

[@montypython5521]

@@jwsntn170 You can cap but they're going to be hitting your guys in the face while they just stand there, and sentinels can decap but not cap themselves in DOW2 idk if they can at all in 1.

THANK YOU you for this. I’m so glad I found this. You guys are awesome. I’m 24YO and I can remember coming home from school at 5 and 6 waiting to play DOW as soon as I “finished” my homework. I’ve missed it, I’ve fallen in love with table top since I was 12ish. This is insanely amazing and hearing all the voice lines caused some unbelievable and unexpected nostalgia. The feels, the memories, thank you. THE PLANET BROKE BEFORE THE GUARD!!!

[@ZorpHammer]

MATE I know that exactttttt feeling. I used to stay at my mate Cam's place over the weekend and we would ride our bikes back to his after school and just play Dawn of War taking turns for like 48 hours hahaha. Stoked you enjoyed it so much mate!

[@zonolith5912]

I'm about 7 minutes into this and already it's one of the best Battlereports I have ever witnessed, against my favorite match up too. I am blown away.

[@ZorpHammer]

Awww yay Zono! Hope you like dthe full game!

[@zonolith5912]

Bruh, it was *chefs kiss* imo, much more interesting than regular BCs since you skipped over a lot of the technical nitty gritty like every dice roll, bonus action and 20 minutes of prep just show casing every model. @@ZorpHammer

[@pt1457]

These batreps are amazing! Thanks for all the work!

[@acefromeuropa4759]

Am I missing something or wouldn't the terminators retake the objective from the sentinel? They have a total OC of 4 vs the Sentinels 2. Same thing with the scouts at the end of the game, a combined OC of 2 vs the Kasrkin's 1. Also how was the Baneblade able to shoot it's blast weapons when in engagement range of the terminators?

[@Zack_Wester]

Think that might be because its classed as a Behemoth meaning it can use it ranged weapons.

[@jackrogers5712]

I had similar questions. I can't tell if they're accidentally making mistakes or just playing fast and loose with the rules to make an entertaining story.

[@legionaireb]

@@Zack_Wester Big Guns Never Tire allow vehicles and monsters to shoot AT units they are in Engagement Range with, but Blast specifically says you can't use it against units that are in Engagement Range of Friendly models, so you still can't use them.

[@gratuitouslurking8610]

The OC part also confused me as well. Either something about the DoW ruleset they're using simplifies it to per-squad or that's just a straight goof.

[@SaytreJudd]

Also they forgot that Terminators have a 4+ Invulnerable save.

[@friendlyneighbourhoodsunwheel]

I really, really wanna see some Tyranids show up in one of these Battle Reports. Purely because i'd like to see how they handle this system and how you would run them. Probably would take a little bit of work figuring out their points and how their research and upgrades work. but you could take inspiration from some of the mods for Dawn of War.

[@skeleboneshunter7949]

This is awesome. I love Dawn of War and this video is like a dream come true.

[@rougemike]

Not sure if you’re doing something different in your experimental rules, but rules in the normal current tabletop game are OC is a per model basis, so 4 OC 1 terminators on a spot means they have a total of 4 there.

[@dmeep]

I really like the shell of a dome on the ruin.

[@brunswicklord6365]

Really enjoying the DoW content. Mid game went over to Elstonation to check out his painting of the Guard. I do hope Necrons will make an appearance in the future.

[@ZorpHammer]

They definitelyyyyyyy will no doubt about that!

[@walterraschenbach4068]

This is genuinely superb. The time spent on editing and presentation shows, and of course, the models are top notch. Bringing Dawn of War to the table is a fan dream and appears to be well executed. Really my only criticism with this one was that it felt like Olly did reactions after the fact rather than legitimate live reactions to what was happening. If those were actual live reactions, then I guess something about the framing made it seem fake. But obviously that’s a minor complaint, this vid definitely deserves more attention

[@ZorpHammer]

Thank you mate! I think next time I'll just leave Olly's camera down in the corner for those turns, It was just an absolute bitch to sync the audio because of the delay, we're talking over each other and stuff, so I just used snippets, which probably made it feel more unnatural I just could not be assed editing it through haha

[@walterraschenbach4068]

@@ZorpHammer I was thinking something like that too, actually. I’m sure the delay makes it harder to edit together super nicely.

it can in Dawn of war so that's probably what they did here.

Really do love this! Can't wait to see more! However there are a few mistakes with the 10th rules >Hazardous guns don't wound/kill on 1's. You instead roll each hazardous weapon after the attack and then damage for every 1 in *that* pool. >Sentinel with Ob-2 would not beat the Termies 1. It's per model, not per unit. So the scouts would also have claimed the objective at the end

I would say I really do love the idea of taking Dawn of War and making it into tabletop. The only issue I have with the game is I think it honestly be better if you are to apply a different rule, more like kill team where you can preform one action and your opponent preforms another. I do love the Fog of war idea. Though I think this game could benefit from a much bigger table to play on...and honestly the more I think about it, only apocalypse players or people with horde armies could play this game. I mean the amount of units you would need to use is staggering.
