Skaven vs Bretonnia Warhammer Armies Project Battle Report

[@rum_o_clock2667]

Turns out all Cullen needed to break the misfire curse was an entire new edition! Fun battle and chat as ever, both -thanks for keeping this going

[@Slaave]

"What happened to that knights arms?" "it's only a flesh wound, don't worry about it"

[@theinquisitor9836]

Tis’ but a scratch

[@janos5408]

I've had worse.

[@Jimbo818]

Beat me to it 😅

Plagueclaw catapult always trigger panic Censers have hatred Monks can parry

[@randomnerd5807]

I am so happy that non artillery ranged units DO SOMETHING now! I love WAP

[@imperiumvoxnetwork]

I really do prefer that format of batrep instead of the multicam one. Keep up the good work!😁👍

[@jmiller101480]

I love how grind-ey WAP is proving to be. So savage!

[@janos5408]

Just visualizing the mighty Bretonian Lord leaping off his horse to squash rats.

[@detorrV2]

You can only double tap if you dont move. Also about the challenge, if the character cant physically retire he cant decline the challenge, but the rats in shrines can just climb the shrine or something like that i think. Now, i dont know if you can focus the character in the challenge. In WAP characters mounted on things fuse profiles like a single model (like monstr. cav.), or that is what i understood. I dont know with shrines tho. The reports of this edition are great. You bring a lot of new things.

[@ewosd]

Just what I needed on a rather bad afternoon. You guys are kings!

[@lindagoad2163]

Great battle report guys. Been a little bit of a slog getting through the rules recently but you seem to be picking up speed now and always nice to see more infantry in these battles.

[@gabrieldalton4307]

The shrine profile in WAP states that you never use the wounds and toughness of the crew, so when in that challenge, the Plague lord should have been using the shrines wounds characteristic of 6, and toughness characteristic of 6 as well

[@omnivision616]

That turn 1 shooting from the Brets was funny. Camera going back and forth debating shooting at the already wounded unit of slaves or the fresh unit. Thinking out the options for wounds and panic. Then a quick turn of the camera to a MASSIVE AMOUNT OF DICE to shoot, lol. WAP is great.

[@durnaxe8708]

How dare Cullen not let Steve take his Double Turn!

[@jy8081]

Pretty sure you can only throw dice equal to wizard level +2 so your level 3 could only wildform with 5 dice not 6.

[@timursaid7766]

Honestly one of the best matches i watched. I really thought coming into this one person was gonna steam roll the other. Wow what a game! Great job guys!

[@GarmrKiDar]

WAP: Some misfires are good now Steve: *I'm in danger*

[@fierygamingzilla69]

Those five plague monks ripped those knights apart shows you what good rng does

[@Wildboy789789]

This edition has such better rules, so thematic

[@jonathankelly4222]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE!!!

[@jonathankelly4222]

Also, I still like the diorama’s y’all set up around the armies. As very fun. Makes for some cool shots.

[@jonathankelly4222]

At that low of a point cost, swarms are insane. You could definitely invest some points heavy points in them and have them recoup their cost in tying expensive units up.

[@jonathankelly4222]

Bound items seem like the way to go. Getting free magic die seems really strong when you can compound them with 6’s.

[@jonathankelly4222]

Holy censer bearers. We better see those more often! Those seem really good. And no way to miscast them or misfire. Sure they can melt themselves, but that won’t happen that often.

[@jonathankelly4222]

Cullen REALLY wanted to table you this game. 😂🤣 the rat combat in the back just felt like his outlet of salt of the game.

[@Tymachos]

A wizard can only use as many dice as his level +2 to cast a spell. So only a level 4 wizard is able to use 6 dice to cast a spell.

[@Namatheros]

Do you still have a lizardmen army? Would be great to see how they do in project edition :)

[@emprahsfinest7092]

Wow I love this Warhammer Armies Project content! Makes things much more interesting!

[@andreasarvidsson9659]

Cullen, the wrecker attack count as a stomp attack, it wouldn't work on those knights.

[@ag6421]

Think the unit should be able to attack the rank and file models even if the only one they are in contact with in the enemy unit is a character thats in a challenge. p52 "However, you may always direct attacks against normal rank and file models, as long as the model is in base contact with any model of the enemy unit (including characters and command group models)."

[@Ratich]

One cool addition for Bretonnia would be the Royal Hippogryph Knights from the game Total War Warhammer. I am guessing they'll probably be added once the new army book for Bretonnia comes about.

[@Gryfont]

where are these Str 4 horses coming from?

[@MountainMiniatures]

mane of the pure breed, as i said in the showcase.

[@Nnonetwo]

Loving the Warhammer Armies Project report! It looks like a great game.

[@richardchapman842]

absolutely love the old world wars please we need more for the older generation

[@81Earthangel]

This rule that a single model cannot redirect is extremely useful. I always played like that. Makes the game way better and more tactical and less cheesy.

[@mathmace]

Fantastic batrep, looking forward to seeing more.

[@theinquisitor9836]

Happy Birthday Steve!

[@shandius194]

It looks like the damsel in the second rank does not get line of sight for spells. Page 86 of Bretonia book.

[@benhadaway3322]

I think the FAQd this as an exception.

[@christiandalum7466]

I believe you can only go as wide as you go deep in this edition (unit formations)? Or am I wrong?

[@MountainMiniatures]

Bretonnian lance overrides this rule

[@christiandalum7466]

@@MountainMiniatures Was more refering to the men-at-arms.

[@fsfvlad]

@@christiandalum7466 Ok I made a confusion. You can't be deeper than you're wide. So the "horde" formation is ok. Anyway the horde rule didn't exist anymore

[@benhadaway3322]

Including deployment, how long is it taking you to play these games?

[@Vasili456]

I would love to see how Tomb Kings play in this new rule set.

[@mohammadahmed5631]

For the combat on turn 2 Cullen won. He had a banner which would've tied it and also fear unless they immune to fear?( nope never mind freaked out to fast)

[@mattsamson309]

Happy Birthday Steve! Love the Bretonnian batreps!

[@mattsamson309]

Ward saves!!! Remember your ward saves!

[@mattsamson309]

And your immunity to psychology!

[@DrCrazyPhenom]

HAPPY BDAY STEVE

[@truegregthompson]

Censer Bearers have Hatred. Also did you take the Plague Banner? Seems like a must have like Banner of Burning Hatred was for monks in 6th ed

[@patgray5402]

You can shoot into combat if you are less than 4" away. Those bowman could have moved up and blasted them.

[@MinSredMash]

Why wasn't Steve whittling down the plague monks with all his shooting?

[@benhadaway3322]

Prayer Icon does give Men at arms a 6++ ward save. So its worth taken on peasents.

[@turboslug1130]

So first combat round vs the knights you did not count the banner from the skaven but round 2 you did. Skaven tactics against them eh

[@thomasnicklasson5668]

Great game guys :) Looking fwd to see some Daemons :)

[@entropy2100]

Why didn’t you use the bretonnian double turn ability?

[@krynkeldorf]

who doesn't love WAP amiright

[@elephantspaintingelephants]

This was a good one. I have a match tomorrow with my Skryre poachers >:]

[@MrHollywood1717]

Grail knights are immune to psych. The rats don’t get +1 for fear.

[@MrHollywood1717]

Rats should have lost by 1 and lost frenzy.

[@MoonyPoet]

Happy birthday Steve!

[@LordxGodxKing]

Shouldn't the peasants hit on 6s? Long range and multi fire? or do archers ignore that in WAP?

[@theinquisitor9836]

There’s no long range penalty in WAP, there’s a 1+ to hit bonus if the target is within 4”

[@nickquin908]

Swarms are so much better now and feel pretty fun to play. You can really see the smelly peasents getting overrun by swarms of rats

[@williamh.macoy7169]

Cullen with the double turn

[@lordravenblade]

The plague monks should have lost the first two rounds that "tied" because they shouldn't get the CR bonus from Fear against Grail Knights, right?

[@bullbegger2281]

Grail knights are immune to fear

[@lordravenblade]

@@bullbegger2281 that’s what I said. Since the GK are immune the PM should have lost by one because they didn’t get the +1, but the combats both “tied” because of the error, and the PM kept Frenzy. It could have changed a lot.

[@bullbegger2281]

@@lordravenblade You ended your sentence with a question mark, the assumption was you were asking a question not making a statement. I confirmed it.

[@lordravenblade]

@@bullbegger2281 the question was “shouldn’t the GK have won the combat” not “are the GK immune to fear” though. I may have misheard or missed something else that could have led to the PM winning anyway.

[@bullbegger2281]

@@lordravenblade I replied they are immune. Which means the PM dont get the CR bonus. I'm confirming what you're asking

[@benhadaway3322]

Damsels have 2 wounds. So how are you down to 2? You would be at 1. You don't combine horse/rider wounds anymore its just the highest Toughness and Wounds value on split profile. @1:00:05 BRB 9th Ed pg 86

[@SuperThest]

It’s a prophetess

[@tristomand]

Have I missed something, or are Steve using magic items from the 6th edition Bretonnia army book instead of the WAP 9th edition book?

[@MountainMiniatures]

no

[@tristomand]

@@MountainMiniatures Ah there is an additional pdf with magic items under the expansions tab :)

[@bennosvinto9050]

you guys are so nice to each other. people who i play with if you have made a mistake you will eat it. your turn has ended my pal.

[@karlaldridge4848]

Some combat res wrong but awesome!

[@dangercat8919]

No trebuchet??? Gasp! Also, since your pegasus can fly, he could've charged the warpfire cannon. "Skaven Slave Lives Matter". I need that on a t-shirt. Also, since mounted characters are considered one unit now, if you kill the hero, the mount goes away too. So after the plague priest was killed, the furnace dies as well. Right?

[@joshuabuchanan3506]

Good battle

[@snakycake4790]

First turn of bretonnia you should be praying with your army so everything you have with knights vow and higher gives them that lady's ward save until that unit retreats from melee

[@MountainMiniatures]

that is incorrect

[@socalastarte6727]

Warhammer fantasy is so much better than AoS, thanks for keeping the dream alive. Although if GW hadn’t killed the game, I would’ve spent a ton of money on WF models, so thanks for saving me money GW!
