Strakens final Kill Count was: 2 Wraith Guard, 1 Spiritseer, Fugan, 4 Infiltraitors.

[@metaphasiawordsuponwords6968]

"I impressed upon the chat that we needed to be competitive [...] I offered them to put a third super heavy tank in the list, but to my disappointment, they declined." I giggled out loud at the mixed signals here ...

[@clusterfox6143]

In my day we didnt have any fancy shmancy tanks. We had sticks, TWO sticks and a rock for the whole platoon. And we had to share the rock!

[@Slapdab]

These in-depth reports are my favorite 40k content. They offer analysis and storytelling in a way that reminds me of the old White Dwarf battle reports. I wish more creators took the time to reflect on the back and forth of each battle, as well as the flow of the entire event. Thanks for all the hard work.

[@markdorn8873]

Agreed. I learned a lot from listening in to this after action report. Thanks for your adherence to duty!

[@Kantorblue]

Absolutely agree I love it

[@PeterButchens]

Popping Mortarion with one shot would cause a volcano cannon shapped tent to appear in my pants.

[@reptilesarecool9763]

Jorking peanits?

[@aronrowley411]

I can honestly say that using a list built by your channel supporters is an absolutely amazing idea.

[@grimgar3048]

Us ogryn fink-tank like TONKS!

[@Zarzapan]

I run a single Shadowsword in my list and it just TAKES SOULS. If they ignore it, right up the middle, DRIVE THEM INTO THE DIRT!

[@wil120mm1]

One of my favorite videos for sure. The tech priest getting triggered and getting their revenge. The Catachans and Scion were clutch. And Im glad to see the Ogryns doing something other then screening and dying. This was the most educational battle report yet for me. Was fun to vote on this list. Everything served. This was dope. 👍👍👍

[@evilg9010]

Absolutely love the interesting rosters you are using, your telling of the game is great. Would love to have more photos relevant to the parts you are speaking of, as I find it difficult to picture what's going on turn by turn on description alone.

[@dogarse]

That was epic! I can't wait for the next adventures of the "you killed the wrong baneblade" list. These tournament battle reports are the best.

[@ThorOdinson]

1:26:23 YOU SHAME US, SIR! YOU DISGRACE US, SIR! YOU WILL ANSWER!

[@MordianGlory]

[@jonathanj2666]

Now that's soldiering.

[@joshuaryan7130]

Im honored to have participated in building this list

[@epicassassin8502]

Kills bane blade Tzeench: sorry fucker but you’ve fallen into my trap you killed the wrong tank

[@midnightrose23]

The distraction Baneblade, truly a force to be reckoned with. Who needs Carnifexes anyways?

[@markmras6040]

I love your tournament reports! Also proud to have participated in making this list

[@danielboatright8887]

Now we need to see this build do another tourney.

[@rileyernst9086]

When the light of the sun abated a pair of broken purple butterfly wings fluttered to the ground.

This video is a more affective Shadow Sword Ad than anything Games Workshop has ever released.

[@deafnoisemarine6294]

"They went to the farm far away that we can't visit." LMAO

[@boutinpowered8373]

So the lesson is, take two Shadowswords?

[@ghost9pm407]

I was thinking the same thing! And he would have actually saved 40 points by doing so.

[@jameskurth3560]

It's a good idea vs armor. It'd feel much different vs hordes. My local meta has far too many knight players. Now I need two shadowswords.

[@CastellanOdenall]

Nice of you to limit your unfathomable Guard powers to give somebody else a chance to win the tourney ;) I've been in love with the Shadowsword model for a long time and it was fun to see it melt things on the tabletop. I'm getting back into the game and going all in with the Hammer of the Emperor- I cannot wait to have my own Shadowsword vaporize enemy armor.

[@cruelmole]

Hey mate, great video and report and it was a pleasure to play against you! Believe me when i say though, i know the shadowsword was the right superheavy to kill, unfortunately your baneblades big fat booty was blocking my los to it. I'd have loved to get rid of that one first 😂

[@TeutonicKnight92]

So unless there as been a errata under the “mission” section of the rule book step 6 is deployment, 7 is role for first turn and 8 is resolve pre battle rules. Lord Solar’s redeploy happens after the roll

[@patrickcouri7161]

Do all infantry Tau! I am begging you! If there’s any guardsman who can pull it out it’d be you! I shall continue you pleas until I see it

[@Captain1nsaneo]

At this point you need to have a counter for how many tournaments you would have won if you had remembered your own rules.

[@davebadley11]

Hands down my favourite videos on KZbin.. always makes my day when a tournament review comes out

[@357Dejavu]

You have a way of telling the story that makes it very engaging!

[@alanredmond88]

Love the tournament reports. Its interesting, and great proxy experience for if you don't personally have time to go to tournaments yourself

[@Rodrigo-hq7sj]

If you liked this summary, his vod of this Tournament is much better cuz of his hilarious reactions 😂

[@epicassassin8502]

One problem, not enough baneblades

[@alanrickett2537]

All cavalry list , sentrels, rough rides , lord solar, death cav and if needed feild ordinance batteries

[@8-7-styx94]

Note to self: Kill shadow swords on sight. Got it. Thanks MG!

[@Throckmorton12]

Ogryn think tank! Hell yeah

[@storminmormn6283]

The tournament slideshow pictures are awesome. Let's you see what the Tournament player lists are like and helps you visualize how you did. Love the video!

[@dominicl5862]

I am convinced Guard is one of the stronger factions, its just no one remembers the rules. Great Video Mordian, great content, can't wait to see the next one. My wish for a tournament list: Straken with Nork and 20 Catachans.

[@CtrlAltRetreat]

Straken and the 20 cats are a pretty common thing on his lists. Adding nork isn't all that many more points. Is there anything else you want alongside them?

[@dominicl5862]

@@CtrlAltRetreat A decent bit of scout Sentinels (2 x 2) or (2 x 3) as an early screen. Hmm idk maybe a second big ol Combat squad to Castle up the middle. Complete with command squad and Engineer or Solar. I feel ppls sleep on him with an Ogryn Bodyguard as well.

[@CtrlAltRetreat]

@@dominicl5862 Very traditional catachans. I'm not sure if that would work anymore though. There are a lot more super heavy infantry these days and there really isn't an answer for that in that list. There are no power weapons, no plasmas, i don't even think that scout sentinels can pick plasma cannons. Would be rough in current edition i think

[@dominicl5862]

@@CtrlAltRetreat Re look at that m8. Scouts can absolutely take Plasma cannons and flamers. Perfect anti chaff. Also a mega Blob of Catachans with a Platoon Command can take 5 flamers and a heavy flamers plus the 16 Lasguns. And Catachans are designed for fighting and bullying other infantry. I think it'd go well with some Exterminator Leman Russ 😁 And a Mortar Pit.

[@CtrlAltRetreat]

@@dominicl5862 You're ok with armor? Exterminators change everything. The -1 armor suddenly means that pretty much everything can work. I was under the impression that you wanted old school catachan list restrictions. Honestly, if you're letting extys and russes into the list then pretty much everything can be covered. The only other thing to worry about would be the super heavies and imperial armor, or more thematically, lascan valks could cover that

[@hotcoldman9793]

As a Chaos Knights player I fear going against this army deeply!!!

[@josephkokkinos9326]

Nice touches, Video Editor 📝 🎉

[@HiveFleetThanatos]

Appreciate the support! :)

[@sunflowerbadger]

The "don't you get it? I'm not trapped in here with you...." quote is the best ever ❤ I really enjoyed the drama in these tournament reports.

[@LazyPhoenix96]

I love the different lists you play, really shows how great generalship is how to win at 40k, epic stuff dude, really wanna see you play Tau again

[@dustinhaus1165]

I love my death guard, They are my "zombie" army. I usually run 60 walkers, and 60 cultists, 7 marines, putrifier, tallyman, 7 marines putrifier, surgeon, 2 wardogs, predator, spattering of demons, spattering of termies. It's weakness is a lack of "punch". That's what the wardogs, and predator are for. Each no man objective is getting walkers, and cultists, I call the army "bodies". Contaginated humans turn kinda soupy

[@aronrowley411]

Have you ever considered running a "avatar" list? (3x3 armoured sentinels and 3x3 scout sentinels supported by infantry) (could you get away with running 3x3 elysian drop sentinels also to propper meme it!)

[@hammer1349]

Backed up by valkyries serving as gunships?

[@alanredmond88]

I think the elysian sentinels are 1 per choice, not 1-3, though there is the sentinel power lifter for 9 + 9 + 3 + 3 = 24 sentinels total maybe

[@dominicl5862]

Call it Chicken Coop Corp, I think it'd be extremely Deadly. Just two 3*Scout Sentinels would fuck.

[@grimfist_one]

I wish in these battle reports the pictures related to what your talking about.

[@regularman9486]

Awesome video, an ogryn clown bus (stormlord) list would be awesome for the memes. Would you consider the shadowsword superior to the stormsword given your experience with it?

[@koboldm]

Ohhh man, what a ride of a story! Congratulations on the 3rd with such a banger list

[@Ghazghkull460]

Seeing you run an ork list would be really cool. You could make your orks look like guard😂

[@Brownbread5704]

Loved this report and the content you put on the channel. Fantastic 👌

[@dustinhaus1165]

Las cannons, and melta are str 12...for the most part. They will wound a russ on a 3, a dorn on a 4, and a baneblade on a 5, big differences. The difference between Str 12, and 16 only really matters when there is T12, or 13 things afoot, or the T7,8 stuff, Both str 12, and 16 will both wound Infantry on 2's, and most everything else on 3,s. I often run a doom hammer, and a storm sword. Tank commander demolisher, and a russ exterminator (there buddies). 2 chimera's with death corp, marshal. Chimera's usually roll out of reserves, sometimes have Kasrkins, rest of the points are spent on dudes

[@thomaskelley6230]

Man..as an old AF 3rd Ed player back when guard only hit on 4s and nothing else, hitting or 2 or 3's were the first rules I latched onto religiously when getting back into 40k. You just needed a couple years of half the army missing ALL the time to never forget who gets buffs for hitting in shooting.😂

[@strawberrypuddin8919]

"ogryn think tank" HAHAHAHA TOO GOOD

[@dabbsification]

new to your channel, just saw it cos of the 300k battle. must say i like it. i love tanks and big models myself. dont have a guard army but am tempted if i ever start a 4th army

[@BouncingTribbles]

I can't wait to get to my Skullhammer. The Baneblade looks so cool.

[@okonkwojones]

5:18 I really like the aerial on your Rogal!

[@rileyernst9086]

Ha ha. Mortarion got killed by a giant tank during the war on Armageddon. So this is twice.

[@Clatzy541]

36 damage to mortarian is those funny numbers I live for

[@SherlockSpiner]

I’m so glad I was apart of this absolute pipe dream of an army

[@hobbybro3902]

Lost a game similar, opponent forgot to bring a unit on from reserves on turn 5, on my turn 5 I drew no prisoners. I forgot that unit counts toward no prisoners. Instead of losing by 2 I would have won by 1.

[@alexandreboureau6175]

Cool report! I used the shadowswords a lot in epic games back in the days (ie, 25 years ago...). They were already able to fire at almost the whole table in epic games, so it must have been felt pretty cramped for them here on a 40K table!

[@ivoalexander4201]

An extremely exciting series of three battle reports. Good job on keeping notes. Thoroughly enjoyed your storytelling, at least as good if not better than a lot of filmed bat reps. Eg. there's a shouty american channel where they spend more time filming the players than the units (fail). If anything, your reps restore my faith in the playability of the 10th ed.

[@Demane69]

Love these!

[@hampusnilsson6950]

Rip headphone users! My phone is on low vol and still my kaktus is headbanging in the next room. The Hives called and want their singer and distortion pedalback! Joks a side, it is in line with this true heavy metal list!

[@peterkantor9494]

I had a similar idea about the lord solar pope mobile, but more accurate with a bulletproof glass canopy

[@janehrahan5116]

The oppressor cannon is flashy but twin battle cannons is better if you don't need the range vs most targets. Even vs exactly t11 sv 2+ its close. 1/3 confirmed wounds for oppressor vs 5/27. Math gets better for twin battle cannons as save gets worse or as toughness moves from 11.

[@jacobpalmer6155]

Just a point about split firing. You cant split fire the same weapon profile from the same model. You cant fire 2 lascannons at one target and 2 at another, just for the future :)

[@MordianGlory]

I am not sure that is correct, unless something drastic has changed from 9th to 10th that I have missed. You can shoot different weapons at different targets but you cant split the shots from a weapon. e.g. You have 2 guns with 1 shot each, you can shoot each gun at a different target. But if you have 1 gun that fires 2 shots, then both of those shots need to go at the same target :)

[@jacobpalmer6155]

​@@MordianGloryIve just gone back to re-read and the specific passage says"cannot split attacks from the same weapon". Im now not 100% sure if this means same "weapon profile", or "individual weapon". Eg. splitting 2 lascannot shots between targets.... more confused than ever 😆

[@timlowesmusic]

@@jacobpalmer6155 Mordian is correct in this case. You cannot split fire with say, a heavy bolter, because it's a single weapon, but if you have 2 lascannons, you can, because they are 2 separate guns.

[@Bladecharge]

"Italian meatballs." You have my Italian attention

[@mjhsinclair]

Great content. I’d love to see a Nid swarm.

[@SamFisk]

Have you compensated for the length of the shadowsword barrel given you have it mounted forward? Poking the tip around corners is great but might be a bit too much ;)

The difference in volume between your videos and Auspex Tactics' videos caused me and my wife to jump out of our skins

[@marhonic]

I want to see you take 18 sentinels to a tourney

[@kickassgreek]

Im considering adding some Imperial knights to my guard army. can you do a video on their list?

[@sairence]

You probably some Warglaives for some fast Melee punches if you want to mix in Knights. If you want to go with a big one, Canis Rex is hands down your best single choice.

[@kickassgreek]

@@sairence I managed to snag some armigers NiB. are those also warglaives? I'll look at a canis rex. thanks.

[@sairence]

@@kickassgreek Yeah, the kit builds both versions. Same with the Questoris kit, you can build every version out of it. They're also pretty easy to magnetise. For the Armigers I put Magnets into the elbows to be able to switch the weapons out and the Carapace one is just push fit.

[@josephmilia538]

[@albertovalcarenghi350]

Well, i play Tallarn and my 2k list includes: baneblade, shadowsword, tank commander, 2 leman russ, 3 x 10 men squads, 6 bullgryn, 1 heavy weapon team, 1 sentinel and 1 taurox 😂

[@paulclifton9488]

He wasn't correct on the redeploy issue - the rules commentary has specifically mentioned that all redeploys now happen before the first turn. This means that redeploy happens after first turn roll and after all other pre movement such as scout. I advise that everyone checks the rules commentary.

[@cruelmole]

Before the first turn doesn't mean after the first turn roll. Before the first turn is a nebulous and vague description that doesn't actually tell us anything. Some redeploys specifically state that you do the redeploy after the first turn roll (such as the photos captain which states it is after the roll to see who goes first) that leads me to believe that redeploys that don't have that line redeploy before the first turn roll.

[@paulclifton9488]

@@cruelmole First turn is stage 9 of the game based on the core rules. GW have always referred to 'before' as immediately before in all of its rules and FAQs, in fact many of its FAQs wouldn't work without before meaning immediately before. For example, if we had a following FAQ) "Q: When are redeploys supposed to happen? A: Before the First turn." The player base would play this as immediately before the first turn, stage 9 of the game, not before first turn roll off, stage 7 of the game. The thing is - we don't need this FAQ because they have already told us that it takes place 'before the first turn' in the Rules Commentary. The only reason some of the player base aren't playing it this way is because they missed this line in the rules commentary. The China tournament circuits where I am based as a UK expat play it as the Rules Commentary describes.

[@cruelmole]

@@paulclifton9488 Interesting. And I'd be inclined to agree having looked myself. That being said, having to go into the pre game order of things to decifer the intent on a line in the rules commentary is needlessly unclear. Especially as they have redeploys that specifically call out that the redeploy is after rolling for first turn and others that don't make that distinction. But still, thanks for filling me in on that. It's good to know.

[@paulclifton9488]

@@cruelmole No problem matey. I think the reason for the distinction between the wording of the rules is simply because there were many different rules writers, which is probably why they made it uniform by including it in the Rules Commentary. But yes - they should definitely have made it clearer in the beginning by using common phrases with all of them.
