NEW AoS 3rd Edition Batrep - Beasts of Chaos vs Soulblight Gravelords Age of Sigmar 3rd Edition Ep 2

[@interceptor2407]

I actually think that age of sigmar (and of course narative campaigns) is where Mini wargaming shines

[@mikey_vengenz]

I'm honestly shocked we haven't seen any AoS narrative campaigns. Matt has said he really likes the AoS lore.

[@Qshafe]

@@mikey_vengenz Yeah, but he bases his campaigns of what the other guys want to play. So, if none of them want to do a narrative campaign with an AoS army, then they won't do one. He's working on one now for something Lucka wanted (vampires I believe).

[@mylesdrake2949]

@@Qshafe I really hope so. If the did more undead narrative campaigns I'd probably get a gold membership

[@mikey_vengenz]

@@Qshafe I assumed that was the case. That and I'll wager most of their views are from 40k. It's just a shame because I'd love to watch an AoS campaign.

[@theriotartist]

I love things like Mage Knight and Warhammer Quest Cursed City

[@90Redsfan]

I never see people have more fun than when Steve brings his beast of chaos. Just the most fun every time

[@razetheking]

Kinda sounds like 40k Ork players

[@gergely6142]

Sub-commander is a leader with a wounds characteristic of less then 10. So the Vengorian Lord doesn't qualify

[@paul-berndmichalk8218]

They probably read it as 10 or less, understandable mistake( in my opinion, especially for the first Batrep of an Edition) but good catch🤔👍

[@timbroughton560]

Real glad this was the first new AoS 3rd edition battle report I watched! The good spirits in this video make the anxiety, people dog piling negativity on the new edition, and even negativity about certain factions just melt away. It reminded me of what makes gaming so great!

[@shadeling6717]

the vault game was no where near as good. a one sided stomp

[@mylesdrake2949]

Honestly from what I skimmed through I'm really liking the new edition. As someone who loves using non monstrous and non named heroes this new edition is great for the weaker generic heroes.

[@8BitJesus]

I think you might need to find new places to spend time on the internet, the response has been overwhelmingly positive! haha

[@chad534]

Not sure I like all the layers making this like 40k

[@idylehandz3911]

tbh i hardly know whats going on, but these ppl obviously having a blast. good stuff.

[@geordieneisler1070]

i haven't heard anything like that. what seems to be the problem with it?

[@paboook]

I share similar feeling. I was interested in the game system but it seems quite chaotic.

[@cullenasaro2229]

I am already impressed with the new rule set by watching this. We see both players engaged in the game throughout the turns and the command abilities seem amazing especially with how it makes unit leaders more impactful. The heroic and monster actions are really cool as well and I cannot wait to get my first game of 3rd edition in soon!

[@Rahhem927]

This battlerep is just giggling and having a blast and I am here for it! Love the good content! Love the battlerep!

Beast of Chaos: “LET ME IN! LET ME IIIIIIIIINN!!”

[@confucious3ify]

As I have commented many times before, always makes me happy when Steve plays his beasts of chaos!

[@jbumgarn]

Steve, I would so watch an AoS 3 review of the Beasts of Chaos book.

I love it when they play each other. Something crazy always happens

This is literally the plot of the Dynasty of Monsters book - Avengorii vs Beastmen

[@goth_fraggle]

Why is the book not available anymore?😭

[@logcabingaming3710]

Great batrep gents. Super fun. Halfway through it but need to duck off to watch the football (Euros) so don’t know if you pick it up later on….quick note. Lauka Vai can’t stack save modifiers (Soulblight T2 - finest hour + mystic shield) to go down to a 1+. Save modifiers are capped at +1 but can be reduced indefinitely. Look forward to picking the rest up later on. 👌🏽👊

[@demondude15]

Never a time i wont watch Steve play BoC, I love that he knows they suck but just keeps playing them and everytime it breaks down into a laughing fit about how bad they are

[@Grimbago]

One of the best batreps ever! More Beasts of Chaos, they are great!

[@Hidoi1]

30:18 i belive the hit/wound/save modifiers are capped at +/-1 now. no more stacking

[@bastiend7348]

Yes.. but save roll are limited with a bonus of +1... rend is unlimitted... a lot of weapon would be useless otherwise

[@Fauxmadd]

@@bastiend7348 The roll can't be better than +1 you can still modify it more so and negate some rend, it is worded the same as hits and wounds, you can stack the modifiers as much as you want but you can never add more than 1 to hits/wounds/saves in the end.

[@SacredRatchet]

@@bastiend7348 That is incorrect. Save Modifiers are not limited. Hit/Wound are the only limiting modifiers. You can get a +1,000,000 to save but a 1 always fails.

[@Therobotrenegade]

@@SacredRatchet The rules state you can only modify your save by +1. Bastien is right.

[@aliveTerraN]

I love beasts of chaos, they are awesome

[@chaoseverchosen]

This video is so comedic and light hearted it's hilarious and great to watch

[@bryanquick3349]

The table looks great, but that much impassable terrain really disadvantaged the BoC army, and they didn't need any handicaps as it is! I think with less giant mountains it'll work better for both players. :)

[@robertronngren]

Love batreps where both players obviously are having lots of fun, laughing and joking. Also enjoy rerolling ones for that reason.

[@FairlySadPanda]

Obviously not a hyper-serious match, but it did seem like both players are able to be engaged throughout the game thanks to the plentiful command points. It doesn't feel very You Go I Go.

[@swordsofchaos]

"I'm going to remember monstrous rampage this game!" Proceeds to forget to use monstrous rampage the very next turn.

[@squeeeky]

Steve! The miscast! You guys were trying so hard to get those endless spells off. I died just then. The close-up of the snake eyes. I felt it, man. The Friggin' miscast! bwhahahah

[@Whiplash557]

Fun battle report! Even though the vengorian lord blocking was painful for steve, it was straight up hilarious.

[@kalleejnar]

Nice with some AOS3! But I have read the rules too and I was wondering. Isn't save capped now? So with your Luaka, you said she was 1+ in her save. From something and mystic shield. But a save can only be modified with a 1+? Says "A save roll cannot be modified by more than 1+"

[@fl1735]

You can actually pretty easily get 6 models in combat even at 40mm bases. You just kinda got to zigzag them. I tested this out my drawing a line and taking 6 40mm, acting as if they only have 1 inch reach and trying to get as many as I could in combat. It's pretty easy to get them all in.

[@mk-ultraviolence1760]

So basically when that vampire commander gets wounded he pops his collar and gets his swag on.

[@Wildboy789789]

YES steve brought out the beastmen

[@morganhubert2224]

used slaughterer's call wrong. it picks 1 unit within 12", not all within 12". couldn't have stacked that with all out attack.

[@paulthetyyppi]

I think Steve tought it worked like it did before battletome.

[@morganhubert2224]

@@paulthetyyppi bro i play beasts. it's pick 1 warherd unit.

[@paulthetyyppi]

@@morganhubert2224 bro so do I. I didn't say that it does not work that way. I simply said that Steve still think it works the way it used to in the older Doombull warscroll when aos started.

[@sawyermifsud852]

Something occurs to me. Because the Terrorgheists are battleline in the Avengorii army, does that mean you can reinforce them as per the AOS rulebook? As in have a unit of 2 Terrorgheists?

[@deadphoenix8085]

Single units cant be reinforced

[@dnaseb9214]

Can we get more beasts of chaos games pls

This content is pure ambrosia for our AoS 3.0 hunger.

[@MrElliptific]

I know there was a reason why I subscribed. Well done! :)

[@MayContainFacts]

Felt like the majority of the game was activating copious amounts of command abilities, hero actions, monster abilities, etc. The amount of upkeep didn't feel good to me. It was great to see the guys have fun though.

[@Turtlesism]

It looks like, from listening to people who have been playing a fair amount of games, it becomes almost second nature after a while. It's also extremely well presented and laid out in the core rules. It's not that hard at all and gives some needed buffs to heroes/monsters across every faction.

[@tomhorton8365]

I feel like this with 3.0 batreps I've seen so far. Just a tedious amount of book keeping and an over the top amount of CP.

[@Turtlesism]

@@tomhorton8365 Nah.

[@uunikaulus]

Excellent Batrep!

[@jackgeiger2498]

Hey guys - I love the BatReps, appreciate the content. While we're all still getting a feel for the new edition --- I believe you are supposed to select your Grand Strategy as part of your Army composition. Not sure if that's how y'all did it - but the commentary during the video made it seem like you both picked it when determining the scenario...

[@Alberto-hs9pi]

Theres the Grand Strategy, and then the Minor (i think it was called that) one is a "Per turn" thing that you go and pick as you want and need.

[@wilddy88]

30:06 Save modifiers can only go to +1. You cannot gain more that +1. "A save roll cannot be modified by more than +1 (this is an exception to the principle that abilities take precedence over core rules)"

[@slainemacroth9360]

You just ignore -1 rend

[@ravendark9556]

Was fun to watch though would it not have been better to swap the match ups in the 2 games? Soulblight Vs lumineth and beasts of chaos vs nighthaunt would have given 2 more evenly matched games

[@Keplaves]

Great battle report guys in terms of you having fun and showcasing some of the rules! On a personal level I am a little concerned with SBGL though. Every battle report they are showing they are pretty weak at the moment. You say LON was too much but undead should be about hordes and attrition, yet your Zombies didnt do a thing. On a side note, why did you decide to leave the Zombies on the objective? Once captured it remains yours until contested so you could have moved them up to cause even more frustration to Steve.

[@jglmaster]

Also its sub commander and 2 troops in Vanguard so could not use that battalion it would have fit the linebreaker which is commander and 2 monsters. In this case it would not have changed anything as could use command point on at the double and then a free all out attack. But please be carful explaining the new rules but otherwise a fun battrep

[@jglmaster]

commander and 1 troop minimum in vanguard (sorry)

[@mylesdrake2949]

Question for you guys, is legions of Nagash a thing in 3rd edition? Or did my legions of Sacrament just basically get squatted.

[@jonr655]

They done, son. Soulblight Gravelords entirely replaced the LoN tome.

[@mylesdrake2949]

Warhammer used to be a Game where (Big) Armies Clash against each other. Commanders, Heros and huge regiments. That was the Magic of 6th Edition ...and I know GW and the Later Editions went nuts on that (buying and painting up to many minis)...Huge Regiments and stuff. AOS 3th Feels more like a skirmisher in a way like Warmahordes.... How do you feel about This? Is it good or bad? Are you enjoying the game? Thoughts on that? Greetings from Sunny Germany! Dario

You can still modify the save better than the rend, you can never just have better than +1 to your save in the end result.

[@ironant]

Smash To Rubble rule to get out or deployment zone?

[@Keplaves]

you target a faction terrain or defensible terrain and effectively remove its abilities. Nowhere does it state you remove the terrain piece so it would not have helped. Would have looked cool though if possible and very thematic for the BOC!

Did u use the points of the ghb 2021 ?

Question re the new rule that you can never mod by more than +1 or -1: if a unit receives TWO +1 mods AND a -1 mod, is it fighting at +1, or at no mod?

The +1/-1 caps are after modifiers, so in your example they'd be at a total +1.

[@littleappocolypse]

come on guys, only one monster per turn can use the monster abilities and modifiers are capped at +1 -1 so no 1+ save.

[@JunkmanRomo]

it's one monster ability per monster. also rend does matter into saves, so you can have 2 different +1 saves effects on to equal out if your opponent has a 2 rend attack, since it's the total of the save modifiers that is capped at +1.

[@andrewcharlton6080]

The 1+ save was just Luka working out the overall modifier. Lauka had +2 save on a 3+ and there was a -1 rend. So 1+ save with a -1 rend for a 2+ save or +2 to save along with a -1 for an overall +1 so still a 2+. They didn’t play it incorrectly but they should try to get out of the habit of referring to a 1+ save as it’s more confusing for viewers and easier to make mistakes.

[@littleappocolypse]

@@andrewcharlton6080 I'm aware that it worked out the same in the end but the fact that he thought he had a 1+ save at any point was just wrong
