[@tobyfrost9770]

In an AoS Mondays show not long ago, you said that you wanted to produce content that was more professional and of greater use to people playing the game. This is precisely that. Thanks very much for a truly excellent video, Rob. The extra effort is definitely paying off. Keep up the good work.

[@TheHonestWargamer]

Thanks Toby. I want to be the best creator I can

[@andremcgowan8839]

this is unreal! as a new player this is exactly the type of content i want to learn how to become a solid player. particularly like the diagrams but perhaps one feature which would push this over the top would be a deployment map in general? i know battleplans decide that but in general a rough idea of the shape of the army would be amazing to see.

[@TheHonestWargamer]

Yeah I can do that

[@bernardbernadette7569]

yes, charts are perfect could be nice to have an "idea" of a deployment ! I don't know if that's possible, but maybe take pictures from games to show us examples Solid video, keep it up

[@richardensley3698]

Ko

[@minacapella8319]

Rob over here finally realizing his full potential as a war gaming KZbinr, this channel is about to soar to new heights and I'm here for it.

[@TheHonestWargamer]

Awhhhhh

[@ClovisLaRoche]

Heres a pitch: Do 2 videos like this with two different armies, then shoot a video of a game between the 2 armies. Then we'll get to see the theory behind making these lists work, and then the actual list working. You could also find a battle rep of those lists online and break it down based on the master class info. Either way, you're doing great work!

[@TheHonestWargamer]

Defo something to think on

[@justinfloyd1471]

Feedback: I like this kind of video, less that 30 minute army breakdown, including strategies against it. Good work, please do more

[@TheHonestWargamer]

Appreciated will do

[@catalingabrielmiron1388]

This idea is amaizing, I would love for this to become a series

[@TheHonestWargamer]

It is the first of a series

[@robertviscomi8199]

This is fucking phenomenal. Archtypal and lists and their explanations are awesome. Win cons and learning this way is so fundamentally important. Absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much.

[@TheHonestWargamer]

OH YES. thanks

[@dances4980]

I feel when I lose against most armies, I can think over the battle and see some way I might have done better. When I play against LRL, I feel as if I had little to no agency. Thanks for your video Rob, This video has been therapeutic for me, a new player.

[@sharp_shooter9715]

Great stuff, I'd like to see some breakdown scenarios for the "how to beat this list." For example, to beat this list you have basically 4 options: 1. Ignore it and try to win through durability, summoning, reviving, damage soaking on objectives or whatever (what might that look like?) 2. Kill Teclis (either through winning a turn 1 roll off or having enough firepower to get through his 5+ ward after buffing - what factions have a chance?) 3. Kill the sentinels (what are some of the best ways to target them?) 4. Attack the castle (Hero phase attacks, shooting attacks, reserve unit options and then flying movement/pile-in shenanigans to hop over the wardens). Maybe a Lauchon from out of unbind range on a mobile alpha wizard lol And then talk through some of the scenario results. How much do would you gain if the gambit was successful. Or how exposed/vulnerable would you be if that gambit was unsuccessful. What kinds of things do you need to mitigate some of the output of this list. -------------------------------------------- In my person opinion, I think a Celestial Vindicators (offensive)/Hallowed Knights (defensive) Stormcast dragon army has a good chance due to 4+ spell ignore, CV exploding 6s on charges, HK 5+ wards against mortals with Gardus (although he's hard to fit), very high mobility and great mid-range damage. Imagine the Stormcast wins the roll off and goes first. They have a Knight Draconis (KD) general with Arcane tome, master of magic and Scintillating Trail or Thunderous Presence (oh the humanity if he hits the Sentinels with it!). He uses Finest Hour. Your opponent ponders oddly. He self casts Flame Blade, while another wizard casts Lauchon both out of unbind range. It would be nice to have some other spell buffs, but that would be hard to fit into a 1-drop. A priest translocates a unit of 4 stormdrake guard 9" away from the wardens or some other front screen but still within 12" of where the KD will move to with Lauchon. You can add some other things to the party if needed. But the main point is that when the the KD arrives at the end of the Hero Phase he uses wrath of the Draconis to let those stormguard breath all over whatever they can reach for ~8 MWs (ideally something other than the wardens since they want to charge). (Also, Some TOs might have an issue with the timing so make sure you confirm prior to trying, you may need to get a little more creative if so). So, you now have 5 angry dragons + whatever else you brought knocking at their castle. In the movement phase, the KD should ideally be within 12" from Teclis depending on terrain (~8" if there was a perfect line) and have some room to fit past the screens into either the sentinels or Teclis himself. Try to watch for weird angles of redeploy and cut them off as much as possible but Teclis has a fat base, and the sentinels have so many models it make it hard to get out of danger. If the LRL don't have their 5+ ward and he has Flame Blade, it's within reason that he can solo kill Teclis with a Roar (Thunderous Presence on Sentinels might be higher priority if you can pile-in to Teclis). Now the shooting phase and a second round of Dragon flame to burn ~10MWs of as many sentinels as possible to avoid a difficult Unleash Hell. Hopefully there was some room to land outside of 3" and be ready to charge Teclis with the KD and something else with the Stormdrakes (they have an inate reroll plus the CP reroll if needed). Start with the KD and All-Out-Attack so you are 5x2,2,-3,3 and 4x2,2,-2,2 with exploding 6s (if CV) against a non-all-out-defensed, no-ward Teclis. Average rolls says 22 damage for Celestial Vindicators and 19 damage for Hallowed Knights so you may want to throw a breath weapon his way to make sure. You can add in various long range shooting to finish the job, but this should give an idea on how to do it if you win the roll off or Teclis lets you go first (which a lot would do anyway due to not wanting to worry about double turns).

Love it love it love it

[@TheHonestWargamer]

thanks

[@NapGod]

This is literally the exact information I was looking for when I started and I had to piece it together from watching hours of streams and bumbling around getting my teeth kicked in on the tabeltop. Thank you for doing this. I'm loving the new content. Looking forward to more. Also, new intro is rad as fuck.

[@TheHonestWargamer]

Thanks Kyle. Loads more to comr

[@Matthew_Dubroq]

This was perfect for me as a new player trying to understand the game. It did feel weird seeing you look directly at me and not chat tho, lol. Keep this coming Rob!!!

[@TheHonestWargamer]

Haha yeah I'm still not sure where to film myself from

[@RuleofKrule]

This is the content I feel aos has been missing greatly. Great deep dive into how this army plays without having to put yourself through actually having play against it. Look forward to the sylaneth book and beyond!

[@cdoherty56]

I started collecting AoS a few months ago and am just about to dip my toes into the competitive scene - this is exactly the type of content I've been looking for but haven't been able to find. A deep dive on technical elements of the game that's concise, well edited, and sometimes visual. Great work please make more!

[@TheHonestWargamer]

I'm making them as fast as I can

[@KP-ek7qu]

Love the format, great video!

[@astonsummers6892]

Love this content, looking forward to more.

[@calvinosterdal8807]

Love it. Keep them coming!

[@thegrayestofsons8079]

I loved this. I sent this to my buddy who plays LRL, but I can't wait for my army's.

[@TheHonestWargamer]

Oh I'm so happy thanks

[@bushido-z-8400]

Love it! Keep up the great work 👍

[@Koalaninja90]

Love it. More detail on how to beat it and what it’s match ups are like would be the icing on the cake.

[@Gabrielof1600wings]

Great stuff as always, mate!

[@opesam]

Class content; excellent presentation, videography and content. Can't wait for more of these!

[@jaksautsendari]

Great video! Step by step, clearly and simple you can teach how to play this list, and thats great idea! I hope to see more vids from this serie!

[@Bishoptay]

Really liked this video. Excited to see the Sylvaneth one and other armies I play. Keep up the great work!

[@ASingleChimera]

Precise, to the point and helpful. 10/10 content, subscribbled.

[@PenguinKing25]

Amazing video! When I start a new army this is the kind of content I’m looking for. Great info break down as well. Simple enough for a new player but you still showed the ins and outs of the list for us experienced players.

[@markpandelidis2079]

I love the short format and it's definitely super fun and useful. I like that you have tips and you classified the units. The only thing I'd like to see is the unit types marker out on the graph you made that way I can screen shot that and have that as a quick reference

[@Straco90]

Loved it mate! Can’t wait to see this series expand and grow!! Including examples with models and game footage as well would be phenomenal but totally get it’ll take time. Awesome stuff bud

[@TobyGilham]

Great Video can't wait for the rest

[@TheHonestWargamer]

Thanks this is our first in this format

[@familytributestudios]

Really like this "Masterclass" video concept. You are onto something with this. Cannot wait for more content. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

Dude. My pleasure

[@tizianomerello6530]

Its an amazing format. Thx Rob!!!!

[@TheHonestWargamer]

My pleasure. So happy to make something good

[@seanocd]

Brilliant format that has the potential to rapidly expand players understanding of the game. Precise and to the point. Helpful to both newer LRL players and those who might play against them. Explains the play in a way that most batreps struggle to. Keeping them to sub 30mins is ideal. A few suggestions for future Masterclass vids: •Show a typical deployment and first turn(s) in the style of old WD batreps (using overhead views). •Slightly expanded counter-play suggestions (eg counter magic dom, hero assassination, and first turn pinning) •One or two common variations of the archtypical list. I have played quite a few variations of Castle Teclis, but the 2×20 sentinels is for sure the archetype. 2×10 Stoneguard and Ravanaks was a recent variation that I played against at Cancon. So. Many. Mortal. Wounds. I lost the game turn 1 when I failed to make a 10" charge with 10 fully buffed Chaos Knights (3d6 charge, changing a dice to a 4, rerolled) which would have slaughtered most of the Stoneguard and trapped the LRL castle in their deployment zone.

[@TheHonestWargamer]

Thanks, will do! New one is up today

[@Patrice008]

This was excellent. I feel I got all the core content to this army. Having one for each army would really help beginners engage into AOS by choosing which army they prefer and how to think about building it. If there was an extension to the video, it would be great to see some game play scenarios demonstrated, plus it would be helpful to have more on the magic phase, especially for this army.

[@ryansosna3432]

This was a great video concept and will be very helpful. As tournament data rolls in, adding a breakdown of matchups vs other factions would be great too

[@matthewphillipson1160]

This is great! Clear and concise, lots of useful information. I look forward to the next one!

This is such a quality video. Even just that first intro where you described archetypes for units and armies. Do a video about those! It's generally helpful and anyone with any army can digest!

Agree, fantastic content. Would love to see this series continue.

[@mursey40k14]

Love this format Rob. Brief enough to watch on a lunchbreak and informative too.

[@TheHonestWargamer]

That's the plan

[@bolter445]

Hey Rob got a few things to cover. First off its really nice after the first couple years of the army being out that a lrl video isnt overly negative or try to state the army shouldnt exist. There was alot of that going into early 3.0 and its really nice not feeling like the community sees me as a paraiah for wanting to enjoy lrl competetively, means alot. Second for just critique of the video in general. Overall its a wonderful format really like the unit cards along with the text lets newer folks quickly tell whats what, and how you do show the verbatum rule but dont spend too much time on them to avoid breaking the flow of the conversation (sorry lrl rules are wordy xD). I do agree with a few others in the comments showing some deployments on 1-2 battle plans maybe working with your player expert to show where exactly some units might be instead of generic shapes. It might also be nice to have some quick bulletpoints summarizing the info while your displaying your x/10 ratings of the list and leave it up until your outtro animation to give folks time to absorb it. All in all awesome work sir look forward to more of these!

[@TheHonestWargamer]

Great feedback thankyou

[@garethparnham4567]

Great video. Looking forward to the next one though.

[@TheHonestWargamer]

Thanks

[@SandyBFB]

Great Video, Short n Sweet. All the info we needed without much bloat. You were after criticism so here it is; If you were to elaborate further into anything it would be counter tactics. How should we setup, tech pieces to consider, and perhaps most useful a list of target priority for crippling/dismantling the army.

[@TheHonestWargamer]

Appreciated. Lots of comments on that so defo taking it in

[@kylecook5996]

Love this video. cant wait for more. Will you do a video on the various types of list builds? like alpha strike, beta strike, etc. And maybe go over the concept of the build with an example. Same thing with the various unit roles? That would help me because then I could have a concept to go for when list building, and I'd only ever heard of like 3 of the list builds you breezed over

[@mikew3758]

Excellent idea for a series!

Really enjoyed this, concise and informative. It will help both Lumineth players and people facing Lumineth to understand what the list does and doesn't do etc. For feedback, I think an 'honourable mentions' segment would be really interesting, suggesting a few unit swaps that could take the list in a couple different directions.
