In the penultimate episode of WAAAGH Skulldagga, we find ourselves outside the perimeter walls of Fort Condor to witness the full scale of the War that surrounds it. Today's game focuses on one part of this assault as the mechanised war machines of Clan Skulldagga clash against the Fort gates...but standing ever vigil is Imperial Knight House Endonia!
Will this Clash of Titans end the War of Fort Condor or is this battlefront the beginning of the end of our story...

Imagine being new to 40k and desperately searching the rule book for this tracer fire rule that a lot of these vehicles have... 😁

[@ragnaross466]

I genuinely have been curious if I missed something 😅

[@iandoddsblah]

NGL.. I did the same with 'Marked for Death'...

[@Kovass1]

Baneblades did used to have a tracer rule back in the day. The co-axial autocannon gave bonuses to hit for the main cannon.

[@iceagentx]

What is it though? I'm so confused

[@paullatham8486]

@@iceagentx When firing something with multiple guns/weapons they normally announce that they will start with 'tracer fire' from the smaller guns, you know so the gunners can make adjustments depending where they hit before firing the 'main' weapon. However, no rule exists in game for this... its just done in that order by either habit or to build tension 🤣

[@zinkaghost6490]

An amazing match. Felt very balanced and I think that's alot to do with both sides agreeing to bend rules to allow a more fun and closer game. 10/10 we are all the winners for getting to watch.

[@jekylthorn8969]

What makes this channel the best is the way you take your time to include all the damage mods and the dice roll outcomes. Lots of other great channels simply show random rolling and tell you the outcomes. I like the way you explain all the stacked invuls etc. Love it! Great stuff!

[@TNAralwaysfun]

Yes, yes and yes again. Can't just get enough of Orcs and those Knights. Love these narrative battles... Beard should be happy with himself

[@markom1433]

Is Chef doing okay? Been looking...'less healthy' in recent videos. Hope him and the whole team are keeping well and taking care of themselves! Keep up the awesome games and videos TT Team.

[@ADirtyEwok]

These narrative reports are my favorite thing that you guys do. They're really fun and compelling!

[@corvaxblackfeather6529]

Imagin that 'Pancake' Squigs hitting the Windshield of that Walker and the Pilot just turns on the windshield wipers while cursing the orks for making his Mech dirty ^^

[@richarddixon1450]

Fantastic battle report guys. I think the Killa Kans actually created a mini Warp Tear with their epic rugby tackle of the knight (hence why they teleported away and only took 1 wound ;)

[@Cadian101st8]

I love seeing Imperium vs Xenos games it's a nice change from the books constantly featuring Imperium vs Chaos.

[@LaMDoH123]

I’ve loved this series. I hope the finale is like 4K points a side. I want to see a guard super heavy, with a wedge of tanks and waves of infantry in support

[@justin6021]

This narrative keeps cracking up to next level with every episode, love it.

[@consiglieridopchie]

Did an Orc get into the editing booth? "Orks Victory, Knights defeated" 🤣Ork's never beatn!

[@paullatham8486]

There woz a fight, and explosions... obvious Ork victory 🤣

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

18:55 Outstanding Speed Waaagh! from Freddie Quicksilver there 😜👍👍

[@Matt-gs5yo]

Did someone add the wrong footage to the description of the valiant or was it just Gretchin in then machines? Loving this narrative campaign though.

[@scottwalker1300]

“Scrap on, scrap off *clap,clap* the scrapper!” Cheering for explosions! Great job boys!

[@Nortonius_]

“hot tanks soon” followed by the stare 😂😂😂 Thanks, keep it coming!

[@DanthebobGaming]

Woooo mecha Ork list! Been waiting a long time to see this! Edit: The Killer Kan should return as the crew of a stompa 😂

[@richarddixon1450]

It would be so amazing if the arms of the stompa had killa kans attached. Like some sort of Orky Megazord

[@viewtifuljoe4412]

Orktron: Looter of the Universe

[@NorthernKnightsGaming]

Love seeing the Orks out there !

[@MysterySemicolon]

This one felt like a long battle. I don't know if it was just the insanely long shooting phase the first few shooting phases, but I guess that's what you get when Knights and Buggies to toe to toe. Overall I think it was pretty amusing to see the times you really wanted something to explode and not have it happen. Drat you, dice! @1:26:!5 confirmation the Emperor of Man is actually Zapp Brannigan.

[@budtloper1]

Love narrative play, great stuff. I'd love to see some more World Eaters and more Orks, my 2 favorites.

[@almostpainted]

It looks like Chef’s forgotten that Valiant (and Castellan) has 2+ armour save now 😬

[@briansteiner2886]

If you guys are up for it, could a battle report featuring a Baneblade army be scheduled for us on free view? I'm honestly curious to see if the new rules will make running four ~500ish point models playable.

[@impien1]

I love the idea that the scrap lord gathers up ahabs bits to build himself something bigger!

[@plummyplum2990]

So MUCH KRUMPING! If only we could see a Stompa

[@patrickoswell5442]

That was hilarious rolling that 6 to explode even I cheered and clapped!

[@SChen-ei8gx]

Great narrative match, the ending was colossal!

[@jb87rell]

Chef and Beard are the greatest duo ever.

[@wheelcha1rman2]

BIG BOOMBA! What a fabulous game to watch. I'll be sad to see this campaign end, it's been a roller coaster!

[@brentlucas731]

The imperial knight saw bit of thier dead brother in that battle wagon.

[@CxzTYR]

My dear Pastry Chef, you may need to re-examine the saves of the knights. There were several times that the Valiant would've gotten a better save with its 2+, while the Questoris only have 3+. Particularly with Ahab, I think you may have had him still alive, potentially.

[@Teknophobe1]

honestly, if you haven't subscribed to their on demand service and therefore haven't watched episodes 2, 3 and 4 in this series - it's the best £4.99 you'll spend this month.

[@StrangeKvol]

In all the battle reps I've seen, there has only ever been 2 double explosions - both of them happend in this narrative campaign games :D I just love your reports!

[@IndustrialFaith]

Beard need to have his nickname changed to "Freddie Mercury." I though you were having a guest cameo by Queen when he came on for the first time.

[@tomcummin6801]

Everytime I see a Killa Kan, I getz orrible flashbakz to wen I woz a grot and Ted Rogers wheelin out Dusty Bin on 3-2-1. Seriously, am I the only one? Ok, meebe ferapee wiv a brik mite be da fing. Fun fight fellas, thanks.

[@GalanThings]

This was awesome! I'm currently a bit hard on money but getting more of those Narrative Reports is still really tempting

[@brandonnelson6018]

QUESTION: With the new guard codex I would love to see a game with Lawrence playing the scions again. The scions vs death guard is one of my favorite videos. Thanks for everything y’all are great.

[@gulchad8791]

makes me wish scions were better then they are

[@squidly162]

This was easily one of the most enjoyable bat reps ever. Thanks!

[@Moonwake534]

I love chef and beard being orks lmao

[@ArmageddonUnlimited]

There he is again, this impostor Beard! - And nobody seems to notice! What's going on in the Tabletop Tactics world???

[@welshdave3458]

How did you do the bases for the Imperial Knights? They look amazing !

[@bobdole8830]

Great video, I'd love to see a "normal" matchup against Imperial Knights though. Usually the lists running against Knights on Battle Reports are Anti-Knight lists that spam heavy armoured units, kinda making it boring

[@timothygrahl3070]

What a great day for the Imperium. the knights stand Firm against the Green tide. But will they hold the line or will they fall.

[@ThijsSchrijnemakers]

Those Killa Kans are living their bestest lives

[@FrequencyDaniel]

So fun to watch... please more and more and more narrative please. =)

[@MatthiasBlade]

Yeses! A Chef and Beard game!

[@3upgaming12]

Best vid yet!

[@Jumbo731]

54:32 laughed a bit too hard at this

[@vincentlarochette2501]

Orks and narrative, thanks !

[@h4wk5t4r]

An amazing game gents! What a narrative battle!

[@teessidetyrants1989]

Great Game. Looking forward to the final game.

[@genghiscarnage4015]

I was planning on getting a Deff Dread or two this weekend, to go with my Killa Kans. Also love the look of Grot Tanks. Looks like my purchases depend on how they perform in this, potentially epic, battle.

[@trzynasty909]

They are great fun to build and paint! One tip I'd have though is... consider whetehr you want all of the shoulderpads they have. Leaving out even a single one will make them waaay more posable, which I really think is an issue most people overlook and end up with only one janky pose that GW suggests.

[@joshdrury331]

That turn 3 🥵

[@DrSpoon1991]

WAAAAAAGGGHHH

[@Krigarkaj]

Oi my friendly mushrooms and Imperialists. Whats your opinion about house Vulker? I use them all the time :P , just because thinking of overloading massive dakka at close range :P

[@Craig.Maverick]

Remind me to teach Beard how to use Orks 😂😂

[@mighty8357]

I enjoy watching tabletop games, but I don't always understand the rules. Are the terrain and big rocks only decorative? It looks like sometimes units can shoot a target without line of sight.

[@crazyshak4827]

So, they usually do, but this match was an odd one. Titanic units (in this case, the big Knights and the Ork 'nauts) can always be fired upon regardless of terrain, and they never receive benefits from it. The smaller units have to take it into consideration though. Sometimes it is just decorative, but they'll usually explain terrain rules if there are odd exceptions

[@mighty8357]

@@crazyshak4827 Thank you, kind Sir! have a good one

[@tea-sus8722]

How many battles in this series are there now?

[@iugoeswest]

Very Nice!

[@davidedwards267]

This is going to end in a 4000 point epic clash isn’t it?!

[@narrativecrusades707]

Knights should be allowed to sit on orks and sort them right out 😂

[@rulesmanufactorum]

Wow!

[@KArchine]

Loving the game! Though I wish I was piloting those Knights 😁

[@talscorner3696]

Given it's 40k, you probably don't xD They have voices in their heads and the cybernetics aren't exactly installed in a way that respects medical procedures

[@KArchine]

@Tal's Corner haha, I meant as a player in the match. Fully agree like all things 40k, they are really messed up 😅

[@Brosephus]

BUT DOES IT EXPLODE!?!! >:)

[@piotrskodowski7544]

Cool. But Knowing current meta I give orks 15% chances to win before I had seen the battle. Less if narrative have impact on rules and "good guys" have soem advantage.

[@piotrskodowski7544]

Called it but still fun

[@yesiamarussianbot3076]

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaghhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quality

[@michelecastellotti9172]

This whole video summed up in the wise words of a green skinned fellow:"NOT 'NUFF DAKKA!!!"

[@jb87rell]

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH

[@RhodriKneath]

Cheeky bit of miss editing to start with the lists. That's how quality the Orks are they get shown twice lol Waaaaaaagh!!!!!!

you should repaint a tyranid super heavy in white so it can be ahabs whale.

Why does everyone have a pornstache now?

[@richmcgee434]

Thumbs up for not fielding multiples of any of the obviously unique speed freak vehicles. I swear if I see another trio of 100% identical scrapjets I'm taking a hammer to them on the spot. At least vary the paint schemes, you lazy tourney-chasing faux-ork players. You make all us real boyz with everything properly kustomized look bad.

[@jonathanhaynes9914]

Huh, normally I'm a humanocentric guy but for some reason I feel Orky today. Hope they are Blood Axes. Edit: oh, it's narrative.

[@BigMikeMcBastard]

Cool and fun thematic battle. Aww yiss.
